thank you for joining r.t. this saturday it is six o'clock here in moscow on care and. moscow says it will not relent at the u.n. security council sanction military action in syria foreign minister sergei lavrov has said external players are provoking the syrian opposition to continue fighting despite peace plan with the country now on the brink of a full scale civil war let's get the details now from artie's peter all of our peter foreign minister sergey lavrov has made russia's position on syria quite clear. well russia's stance on the conflict in syria housing change that was reiterated by role of russia wants to see a peaceful solution achieved through negotiations to the situation in syria. of rove said russia wouldn't accept any measures puts. the united nations that

could lead will be interpreted to allow any kind of outside military intervention they said though that russia wouldn't just veto any resolution on syria but said that any resolution does say could be interpreted to allow outside military intervention and will be flocked by by russia for the u.n. security council members russia wants to see both the sides sit down and discuss their problems to try and find a diplomatic solution though it's circular for of saying that kofi annan six point peace plan was still the only viable option if peace was to be achieved in syria however it did acknowledge that the peace plan was stumbling a little at the moment though in terms of other four other countries outside nations wanting to to push for regime change sergey lavrov said that the government must in syria mustn't be blamed totally for what's happening in the country and

said that the rebels have some responsibility to shoulder as well. when we hear reports of another massacre in syria and currently we see such atrocities almost daily for many international media outlets want to put the blame entirely on the syrian government the government of many countries of course responsible for what is happening in the countries that we're sure the regime alone is not responsible for this but we see massacres in houla terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo that have been condemned by the un security council all of these is a result of confrontations that are getting more and more outside support i mean first of all moral support for the so-called armed opposition something it with money weapons bringing militants from neighboring countries into syria which stops now here if you could give us some insight as to what's behind moscow's proposal to hold a joint conference on syria. by this international. the conference will really well

they hope will serve to. bring all of the international countries that have an interest in what's happening in the country at the moment together to try and coordinate their plans about what they're going to do now this conference would see the united states the european union as well as the permanent members of the the u.n. security council and also syria's neighbors being brought to the table to discuss what's going to happen in terms of syria's neighbors because we're looking at countries like saudi arabia and qatar who said that they're willing to send troops to to fight against the syrian government but also it will include countries like iran now saying that when it comes to iran they have to be part of this discussion they were hugely influential with with the syrian government and the countries like the united states have in the past been willing to to discuss and discuss issues with iran when it serves their purpose now he says that they should be able to put aside any other issues that. the united states may have with iran and come to the

table to discuss what to do about syria now. also saying that countries have been quick to blame the government for massacres that have taken place before the results of the investigations that actually being have been made public also saying that the syrian people should be the ones to decide their future not any international power all right peter you are going to hear genie accusations against the syrian regime with no backing whatsoever for you vocalise freedom to wait for the results of the investigations by you and other service and human rights organizations to do that if we're told that russia needs to just the border president assad and everything will be sort of course nothing can be done just with such a natural for our course that you're that's why i say we need to sponsibility one war again ignite a fire if that we won't be able to extinguish. we cannot be sending daily signals

that make the opposition believe that it will receive help just as levy received its so-called. saying that russia is committed to not allowing the situation in syria to end up like the one we saw in libya all right peter oliver talking to us from moscow thank you. and as you just heard russia is strongly against outside interference in syria now saying it's up to the syrians themselves to decide their future let's get more reaction on the conflict from patrick hayes he is a reporter from the online spine magazine he joins us from london peter foreign minister sergey lavrov said moscow will not let the u.n. security council sanction military action on syria fearing that libya style scenario would emerge what's your take on all of this. i think it's important to see what has actually happened in libya since the intervention last year. had

a vacuum libya is splintering into a city state and there's no great emergence of democracy or you know the libyan people are not being. the actions of obama cameron and then french president. libya has been made into a mess by western intervention i think it's very important to remember that when talking about syria in this situation now last year the un security when the u.n. security council making its decision russia did abstain from that i think it is very important to rule out military intervention to say actually this is the worst possible scenario in terms of allowing the syrian people to decide their own fate yes the situation in syria is horrid at the moment anyone with an ounce of humanity in them would over the last week really troubled by the massacres that are taking place by the fighting that is taking place but you have to really resist that need

to impose to want to try me into other countries suffering conflicts and to say we can just step in and make things better in many situations and this would be the case in syria western intervention would intensify the conflicts and would take to make it far worse than it is now it's always important to bear that in mind when thinking about you know how best to intervene in these conflicts often the best intervention is not to intervene the tool now moscow says external players provoke syrian rebels to continue fighting despite kofi annan peace plan do you think russia will be able to unite backers of the regime change in syria and give up their intervention plans. well it becomes very difficult because you hear for example one minute secretary of state from the u.s. hillary clinton for example is saying that she fully supports the plan the next minute she's saying that it's really important that assad leaves now and you know it's important to put the pressure on and we need to move forward to

a yemeni solution in syria you're getting these mixed messages from the west from clinton in particular and she just can't help yourself but metal so you use this opportunity for cheap grandstanding in which she gives you a semblance of some sense she's in control in syria and should direct the situation fundamentally undermines the ability of the syrian people to determine their own futures when you have the secretary of state altering the head of state of syria should leave you just think well you know this isn't what with a democracy in this where is the democracy from these external forces pressuring so for income trees into taking a certain direction according to their particular whims of their particular interpretation at a certain point in time now where do you think these calls for foreign intervention will end with syria's opposition urging military action and you have washington as you just mentioned voicing its so-called readiness to act. i think this

in the run up to the u.s. election there doesn't seem to be a great stomach for intervention at this point i think there's a lot of cool story there's a lot of grandstanding a lot of rhetoric from clinton from the u.n. general secretary and others which i think are actually really not helping the situation in terms of being able to allow the syrian people to negotiate the future of the country for themselves in terms of western intervention i don't think there is an appetite at present for a libyan model but i think that's always on the cards and i think the desire at the moment is to try and effectively push them back on to russia put pressure on russia to try and resolve the situation and say well you're responsible for a starts opposing intervention isn't the same as actually legitimizing what's happening in a particular country it's saying this is a sovereign country the people of this country need to determine their own affairs and we need to allow them and give them the space to do that because our

interference could walk the conflict make it bloodier more drawn out and more intensify before and it's very important to make that distinction and it's something that the west cannot do now they see themselves the u.s. the u.k. france in particular see themselves almost like you know the international star n.g.o.s that go around the world and intervene in conflicts over the country particularly interest like russia and china. and i think that. attitude of western governments could actually be very dangerous and could actually as i said intensify and worsen the conflicts in countries such as syria it's very important to remember the libyan model and the mess that they left in the wake of that they don't talk about libya now in relation to syria they talk about yemen it's important that we don't we learn from the mistakes of libya and not repeat them here all right patrick i'm afraid that's all the time we have patrick has from

the online magazine spike thank you. russians violating protest regulations will now have to pay seven thousand euros or do up to two hundred hours of community service president putin stressed the new rally in law is in line with european standards the opposition is planning a so-called million man march next week but it looks like the movement is unlikely to live up to its former glory as our graves reports. it's been dubbed moscow's take on the globe you can call a movement. in america canada and around the globe we've seen protesters bedding down in their thousands here they've never quite reached those numbers more people needed to do these because most of them just come to us in the weekends and in the evenings there were the support and a continual game of cat and mouse with the city's police has taken its toll it's

all keep our style protest that moscow was only starting up a short time ago it's already is the poor seems to be dwindling for those with to come out and visibly show their support numbering fewer and fewer we're talking about tens rather than hundreds more often than not and what's left is a hardcore few struggling to keep this movement alive like occupy elsewhere this has been organized online and epitomized by their encampment but that's about where the similarities end rather than demonstrating against perceived social inequality this is principally about one man in charge president vladimir putin is a stance that has won them support spurred by the backlash from disputed parliamentary elections but it's a faction that has little else to agree on with the rate of fusion of very different political forces which have national socialist radical bolsheviks

a lot of people who just don't want. some people just want to have a party or so in this case when you have this fusion of very different political forces it's next there was the will for them to. have any demands symbolized by white ribbons the movement survived nearly half a year with mass peaceful demonstrations initially grabbing the public's attention hard to ignore some electoral reform has followed but more recently the effort to be marred by violence leading to a change of tactics swapping classes for camping the stage sit ins to reach after tweet from an activist alexina valmy arrests have followed and many don't see the police as the real threat to the movement's longevity of a city just examples and a leader is always required says without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation where there was just as there is presently no leader here in my

hands why would you deliberately i have not seen any leader that i can vote for myself but i hope that this movement will result in the birth of a new smart balanced and u.k. to the leader of their development as a movement is something many will be watching intensely currently still ranks in its infancy finding these feet which convince a nation let alone their own supporters will be intense and twitter will be needed . moscow. coming up ahead in the next few minutes how girls who bring down government websites are just peaceful demonstrators we speak to an indian activist as the country's internet users hold rallies against internet censorship also trigger happy housewives. more and more women in new york are gunning for a new hobby find out what's driving the female firearm frenzy in

a few minutes here on our team. after being branded a threat to national security by a stone e l r t's eastern european correspondent he had a chef ski travel to tell him to try and get an explanation along with a number of russian and stony and politicians he was put on a blacklist by security police after a series of reports about some of the country's policies here's on it say his investigation into the events every time i travel to a story i always enjoy the wonderful hospitality the food and the sightseeing of this baltic country on the journalism point of view over the past several years i've produced several stories on social and economic issues here but i never expected that my reports from a store near would be regarded by some as a threat to national security reported by the country's security police stated that my last three stories had an estonian tone and had nothing to do with the reality that is despite the fact these reports and rising neo nazis and a beauty of

a new language law and the economic problems in the country featured prominent politicians and think tanks we went to the capitol tallent to investigate what this was all about. i finding myself on that list certainly came as a big surprise until i managed to speak to some of the locals who say that being there is nothing out of the ordinary here is andré has also been the victim of the security police for several years now. and they and they how long have you been on that list. or did you go over them for three years and this is connected to my work as a producer for russian channels basically all people who are somehow connected to russia get on this list the police don't do anything bad to those only minor things for example last year forty five minutes after i talked to one of our chief producers and i saw a parking fine on my car's windscreen it had been standing there for more than a year and then i suddenly got

a find among others to be blacklisted were russia's foreign minister almost every russian t.v. news station and a handful of us stoniest all politicians some of whom were in fact jumped to our defense tallinn's mayor said in a statement that accusing r.t. of anti stonie and propaganda made the country a laughing stock we asked his closest political ally parliament. as to why they risk their careers and decided to support us the one with. john i why did the mayor and your party try to defend r t well post new russian telecom the list was not only about your can we believe this is undemocratic i mean what gives them a right to label the media as safe and unsafe and putting black stains in certain people's reputations when i got on a very same list i told my mother about she's old and she remembers soviet oppression very well so upon hearing this news she really fainted and i had to call a doctor. to get on says i decided to go straight to the security police i was

stalled their press officer was out of town but they gave me his telephone number i called. and he told me i had to address my questions by email ok. i did but all i got in response was this it seems that you haven't read our annual reviews they're public for everyone and the english translations can be found on our web page we have grown used to a stony as officials denying us interview so this response was no surprise i did not receive any explanation neither as to why my work is considered offensive in a stone nor what consequences may i face but i along with many a stone us on the blacklist hope that this mystery will soon be resolved with so many questions being asked domestically about the actions of the security police and the country's leadership is now under severe pressure to deliver some answers

in the middle of june we're expecting a stoniest prime minister to produce a statement explaining the actions of the organization meanwhile there was a stony as were found themselves on the blacklist in their home country are hoping that this practice will be then abolished look to russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a story. thousands of egyptians flocked to caro's talks were square demanding presidential candidate ahmed shah feet on barak's former prime minister is banned from election or at all for next week protester said they didn't want to be ruled by the ex-military official but also held mock trials for hosni mubarak and other members of the regime denouncing the verdicts in the trial of the former president mubarak was sentenced to life in prison for his role in killing protesters during the popular uprising that toppled the leader last year next week's presidential election will see the ruling military council transfer power to be elected president by july the first but human rights activist helmi told r.t.

it's unlikely the army will give up control for the country. i think that definitely people didn't expect to see mubarak's expression minister an ex minister . and a muslim brotherhood candidates in in the second run for the elections in egypt but at the same time i do think that we should someone like a chick in the same bus as. morsi they're not as corrected as someone like she fit for example the military council had a huge influence on the the entire process the elections is under their supervision and i sing deaths having any kind of elections with the military council in power in egypt has no difference between having elections before there is lucian when work was in power so. the military is and to is integrated in all the institutions of the country and they are definitely part of who works for him so i think that

they wouldn't allow they wouldn't allow some resolution a candidate or someone who is changing the status coupe to come into power through the elections. indian internet users are taking their grievances on to the streets as they hold rallies across the country against online censorship anonymous operation india a branch of the global hacking group are angry about the laws that banned file sharing websites new delhi based activist a different beast believes anonymous are simply peaceful demonstrators we are trying to reach out to the government of india and to tell them actively that this ban this censorship that they have put up on the whole country is unacceptable because millions and millions of people are getting affected by it side being banned that is used daily by design and film makers to upload their video and get in touch with their clients and everything it has become almost impossible for them

this weekend the international monetary fund says a cash injection of at least forty billion euros is needed however madrid has so far denied it will ask for a bailout they are his own fears spain's troubles and a possible greek exit after next weekend's elections could break up the currency union. and in a few minutes in our special report we look into the legacy of nuclear bomb explosions but before that a recap of today's top stories with me stay tuned. with

the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially a lot of valves of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but because of a difference to use it either as a threat or as an actual agreement you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you've you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up you know through weapons or a bill. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal.
