lol. moscow says there's no alternative to the un envoy for peace plan in syria with both sides to blame for the violence proposes an international conference to resolve the conflict. demonstrators breaking the law now face higher fines in russia as analysts claim the protest movement supporter numbers are dwindling also . i never expected that my reports from a store here would be regarded as a threat to national security party's eastern europe correspondent investigates why estonia blacklisted him along with russian t.v. channels and even the country's foreign minister. and russian tennis star maria sharapova wins the french open crown marking her victory in all four grand slams.

around the clock around the world international news and comment live from moscow. moscow says it will not let the u.n. security council sanction military action in syria foreign minister sergei lavrov said external players are provoking the syrian opposition to continue fighting despite kofi annan peace plan with the country now on the brink of a full scale civil war. as the details russia wants to see a peaceful solution cheve through negotiations to the situation in syria. said russia wouldn't accept any measures through the united nations that could leave will be interpreted to allow any kind of outside military intervention sergey lavrov saying that kofi annan six point peace plan was still the only viable option 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 response. ability to shoulder as well. when we hear reports of another massacre in syria and other atrocities almost daily many international media outlets want to put the blame entirely on a sad the government of any country is of course responsible for what is happening in that country but the regime is not solely to blame we see massacres in houla terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo that have been condemned by the un security council all of this is a result of confrontations that are receiving more and more outside support firstly moral support for the so-called armed opposition then funding weapons and bringing militants from neighboring countries into syria. but in terms of what the next step could be for syria where russia features in that role of saying that he wants to see a international conference held to discuss what the international community can do

to try and sort things out in the arab state 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 also it will include countries like iran no so 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 it is discuss issues with iran when it serves their purpose also secular from saying that countries have been quick to blame the government for massacres that have taken place before the results of the investigations that are actually being have been made public also saying that the syrian people should be the ones to decide their future not any international power. if we are told that russia simply needs to order president assad around and everything will be sorted

and then nothing can be done with such an attitude from our international colleagues that's why i say we need responsibility one word can ignite a fire that we won't be able to extinguish if we cannot be sending daily signals that make the opposition believe it will receive help just as libya received its so-called help russia is committed to not allowing the situation in syria to end up like the one we saw in libya. where patrick a reporter from the online magazine spiked believes intervention in syria would only aggravate an already volatile situation. 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 be troubled by the massacres that are taking place by the

fighting that is taking place but you have to really resist the need to impose to want to try me into other countries to suffer in 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 at all. russians violating protest regulations will now have to pay seven thousand euros or doctor two hundred hours of community service prison putin stressed the new rally lore 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 r.t.g. could greaves reports. it's been dubbed moscow's take on the globe who occupy

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 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 a conglomerated fusion of very different political forces which have national socialists have already called bolsheviks here a lot of people who just don't want to log some people just want to have a party you saw in this case when you have this fusion of their. 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 efforts of the marred by violence leading to a change of tactics swapping classes for camping the stage sit ins took root after

a tweet by prominent activist alexina valmy arrests have followed but many don't see the police as the real threat to the movement's longevity of civil gives examples of a leader is always required as without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation here though as there is presently no leader here. why would you deliberately i have not seen any leader that i can vote for myself but i hold that this movement will result in the birth of a new smart balanced and you kid a leader their development as a movement is something many will be watching intensely currently it still ranks in its infancy finding its feet but to convince a nation let alone their own supporters more than tents and twitter will be needed to greece r.t. . this is r.t. within twenty four hours a day coming up in the next few minutes hackers who bring down government websites

of just peaceful demonstrators we speak to an indian activist as the country's internet users hold rallies against internet censorship also trigger happy house wives. more and more women in new york a gunning for a new hobby find out what is driving the female firearm frenzy in a few minutes here on r.t. . after being branded a threat to national security by stoney an eastern european correspondent alexei yet to travel to talent to try and get an explanation along with a number of russian estonian politicians he was put on the blacklist by security police after a series of reports about some of the country's policies his alexa's investigation into the events. every time i travel to a store i always enjoyed the wonderful hospitality the food and the sightseeing of this baltic country from the journalism point of view over the past several years i produced several stories on social and economic issues here but i never expected

that my reports from a store would be regarded by some as a threat to national security. every poor to buy the country's security police stated that my last three stories had an anti estonian tone and had nothing to do with the reality that is despite the fact these reports and rising neo nazis and a punitive new language law and the economic problems in the country featured prominent politicians and think tanks we went to the capital tal and to investigate what this was all about and 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 andrei has also been the victim of the security police for several years now. and how long have you been on that list. for three years now 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 only minor things for

example last year forty five minutes after i talked to one of our chief producers on the phone 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 fine among others to be blacklisted were russia's foreign minister almost every russian t.v. news station and a handful of us stoniest or politicians some of whom we in fact jumped to our defense tallinn's mayor said in a statement that accusing r.t. of anti is stony and propaganda made the country a laughing stock we asked his closest political ally parliament member a year on the form as to why they risk their careers and decided to support us when we deal of a. now why did the mayor and your party try to defend r t well personally washington acknowledge it was not only about your channel we believe this is undemocratic good gives them a right to label the media as safe and unsafe and putting black stevens in certain

people's reputations when i got on the very same list i told my mother about it she's old and she remembers soviet repression very well too upon hearing this news she nearly fainted and i had her doctor. to get answers 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. i did but all i got in response was this it seems that you haven't read our annual reviews there are public for every one of the english translations can be found on our web page we have grown used to a stony as officials denying us interviews so this response was no surprise i did not receive any explanation either as to why my work is considered offensive in

a store nor what consequences may i face but i along with many a stone years on the blacklist hope that this mystery will soon be resolved with so many questions being asked the mess to clean 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 story as prime minister to produce a statement explaining the actions of the organizations meanwhile there was a story as i found themselves on the blacklist in their home country are hoping that this practice will be then abolished looksee russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a story. indian internet users are taking the grievances on to the streets as they hold rallies across the country against online censorship anonymous operation india branch of the global hacking group are angry about the laws that ban file sharing websites. activists denies bisht 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 has been banned that is used daily by design makers to upload their video and get in touch with their clients and everything it has become almost impossible for them to conduct their daily business they're losing massive amounts of money and they're losing massive amounts of opportunities so it is a very destructive thing to be internet like that this thing is widely referred to as hacking is not done by the anonymous group what anonymous does is something known as distributed denial of service which is known as a d.d. o. s. according to the two thousand and eight amendment of this bill this has been viewed as an offense but it is just a normal protest when people are protesting they're going and they're sitting in front of the offices of the organization you know they're blocking access to various functions of the of the government that is why what is happening it's just

it's just a peaceful protest. anonymous activists have also been setting their sights on neo nazis and go to marti dot com website to find out how the area in front forum has been treated by the group you should have expected us that's the message from the hackers who also raise the nationalists message boards. also online via the moment . you tube channel check that out to see how canadian students are now making their protest heard and seen but even make it demonstrators aren't immune from arrest more at r.t. dot com. the u.s. is going to reopen two of its former military bases in the philippines this comes just a week after the details of the pentagon's new asia pacific strategy were laid out but the bulk of america's warships to be deployed to the region by twenty twenty are not a rare is secretary general of the buy and political coalition thinks that the move

is aimed at china. in line with the u.s. strategy of rebalancing their forces the u.s. is seeking more access to these former basis though they may not be going after formal basing agreements he would have unlimited access to be specific he said many others i say that these all over the country so that their ships can stop over a few will and be stationed for periods specially during military exercises and this all of these would transform the philippines into a military outpost that would allow the united states to project its power throughout southeast asia an increased presence of u.s. troops would complicate matters between the philippines and china. stabilize the situation it might be seen as a provocative action it might spark some kind of arms race in the south china sea with the growing number of u.s. warships entering the country and the u.s. may not be headed for a direct military confrontation with china at the moment but the u.s.

wants to contain china wants to encircle china and keep it subservient to u.s. dictates. short and to you we also residents of new york where they feel safest storing their cash. but do you trust the markets if they're investing in what you well know. about the derivatives market well no. more pins from the very heart of the big apple that coming your way in a few minutes. forget cocktails or treadmills an increasing number of women in new york are taking to the shooting range to let the hurdle of the whole day's work and they're also taking the whole be home with sales of guns and pistols to american women doubling in the past few years. as the story. it's the show that define new york city's ambitious successful female you're known for their know of law nicks and cosmopolitans. in real life.

not good and the rand is plummeting so we wait for better times does that make you mad at europe as a continent. that's a sign of the times a bunch of german banks just got downgraded i don't know germany supposed to be like the icon of europe like this opposed to be one of the stronger economies and that this must be solid there is a force of the storm so we're not too far off and maybe you're right to not have your money in banks i mean it's secured but. when it all breaks down so what's the dollar going to be a way it's paper i know for a fact that banks are colluding with many different institutions in our country and across the world. how do you feel about that by mad as hell. burns this the core of my being and so what can we do because i think a lot. people feel that way but they don't know what to do well obviously it needs to come down to a private or local levels and what do you think is going to happen i mean it's

of the great tennis players from the history you don't want to just there is one person you my great aunt lottie thought she won wimbledon five times very true but we would have been fifteen years. should mention that more could you have learned from that sorry before but hasn't won didn't win all four majors i think that's the thing i mean you've got to put that into perspective it's the different surfaces it's a different time of year i mean sharper who won the wimbledon on grass in the age of seventeen that was back in two thousand and four since then she went on to win the u.s. open in two thousand the australian open and like she's had this year wait to complete the career grand slam and pick up the french title which she's done today and she certainly struggled with some injuries during her career that's that's i think the key that's what makes this story even more remark was a six four years since she won the australian open. back in two thousand and eight since then she's had a massive shoulder injury it really affected the way she was playing she had surgery on it she had to adapt to the way she played and there were genuine

question serious questions as to whether she would come back the way that she was whether she was going to fulfill that potential she said of the seventeen year old and i think she won her last grand slam when she was twenty one so it's been a long long wait even this week boris becker was saying he was watching her first serve and say someone's got to teach her how to serve but that's because she had to adapt her technique because of the shoulder injury despite that though she came through she was dominant always and she was dominant again today in the final six three six two so this could be a sign of a menu of success in her career if she can avoid a page of the shoulder injury and that the injuries that of affected over the years then why not you look at the women's game at the moment you look at serena williams venus williams they're coming to the end of their career since rapper was last world number one back in two thousand and eight the top spot the top ranking has changed fifteen times and eight different women have been the world number one isn't but no one in the sport has dominated it maybe now she's back taking the injury struck them to one side she's now got the french open under about maybe
