and said that the rebels have some responsibility 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 assad the government of any country is of course responsible for what is happening in that country it's not the regime is not solely to blame we see massacres in houla terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo but have been condemned by the un security council all of this is a result of confrontations but 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 in terms of what the next step could be for syria where russia features in that circle of rob 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 note 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 this discuss issues with the run when it serves their purpose also secular from saying that countries have been quick to blame the government for massacre that had taken place before the results of the investigations it 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 salty. and

there 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 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 ase 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 fates 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 there by the fighting that is taking place but you have to really resist that kneejerk

impulse to want to try means to be 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 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 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 he could never quite reach those numbers for the people needed to do these because most of them just come to us in the weekends and in the evenings fair where 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 in moscow was only started 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 with their local dollar a diffusion of very different political forces will have national socialists have already called bolsheviks but we hear a lot of people who just don't want to go some people just want to have a party or so in this case when you have these fusion or. very different political forces it's next to impossible 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 a civic gives to the gunnels of a leader is always required says without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation here though not as there is presently no leader here. 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 in their development as a movement is something many will be watching intensely currently still ranks in its infancy finding its feet but to convince a nation let alone supporters more than tents and twitter will be needed if you groups 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

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 a punitive 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 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 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 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 were in fact jumped to our defense collins mayor said in a statement that accusing r.t. of anti a stone in 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 but with the all of us. why did the mayor and your party try to defend r t. well personally washington acknowledge 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 blacks teens 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 to call a 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 everyone and 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 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 mystically 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 found themselves on the blacklist in their home country hoping that this practice will be then a bullish look see russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a story. indian internet users are taking the grievances onto 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 deny that bush 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 sides being banned that is used daily by design filmmakers 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 doing massive amounts of opportunities so it is a very destructive thing to be internet like that this 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 peaceful it's just

a peaceful protest. none of this 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 form as being 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 moments . or 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 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 we would have unlimited access to the specific east and many other facilities all over the country so that their ships can stop over a few well 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 series 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 us the.

of the great tennis players from the history you don't just there is one person you missed my great aunt lottie thought she won wimbledon five times very true because they were the champion fifteen years. should mention one more. 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 the different time of year i mean shopper 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 and six the australian open and later she's had this fool year wait to complete the career grand slam and pick up the french title which she's done today and she's certainly struggled with some injuries to 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 in the way that she

was whether she was going to fulfill our 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 way even this week boris becker was saying he was watching her for some was going to teach her how to surf but that's because she had to adapt her technique because of the shoulder injury despite that though she came through she was dominant all weight and she was dominant again today in the final six three six two so this could be a sign of i'm a new era of success in her career if she can avoid a page of the shoulder injury in 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 rap over was last world number one back in two thousand and eight the top spot the top ranking has changed on fifteen times a different women have been the world number one there's been 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 there's no reason why not it can't be sure who dominates in years to come thanks very much indeed. from paul in twenty
