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 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 not 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 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 the sigil 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 it is discuss issues with iran when it serves their purpose also secular from saying this country's had been quick to blame the government for massacre that had 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 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. you in observers in syria continue their investigation into an alleged massacre in the hama province the monitors have visited the site of the killings but are unable to turn to determine how many died or who was behind the slaughter patrick kay's a reporter from the online magazine spiked believe believes that alcide military action 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 by the fighting that is taking place but you have to really resist that need jerk 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 drop to two hundred hours of community service president 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 parties jacob greece reports. it's been dubbed moscow's take on the global u.k. movement. in america canada and around the globe we've seen protesters bedding down in it he could never quite reach 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 continued game of cat and mouse with the city's police has taken its toll it's all keep our star protest the moscow was only started up a short time ago it's already is the court seems to be twiddling with those with a come out of 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 but there are conglomerated fusion of very different political forces which have national socialists have already called bolsheviks or have a lot of people who just don't want to look 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 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 clashes for camping the stage sit ins took root after tweet from an 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 just examples of a leader is always required says without a leader any movement is doomed to fail or there is a unique situation here there are lots and there is presently no leader here than in my hands are willing to push 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 you created a leader in their development as a movement. something many will be watching intensely currently it still ranks in its infancy finding its feet but to convince a nation let alone. more than tents into it it will be needed to grease

moscow. will live with you twenty four hours a day r.t. here in the russian capital coming up in the next few minutes i could bring down the government websites of just peaceful demonstrators you speak to an indian activist as the country's internet users hold rallies against internet censorship and also trigger happy hells why. more and more women in new york are gunning for a new hobby vinal what's driving the female frenzy in a few minutes here on r.t.e. . after being branded a threat to national security by stoney an eastern european correspondent. traveled to town and to try and get an explanation and then with a number of russian and a stone in politicians he was put on a blacklist by security police after a series of reports about some of the country's policies here's alexia'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 near would be regarded by some as a threat to national security. report by 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 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 the 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 were in fact jumped to our defense collins 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 post new 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 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 to call a doctor. to get 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. 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 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 storm yes 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 abolished looksee russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a store near. indian internet users taking their grievances onto the streets as they hold rallies across the country against online censorship anonymous operation india branch of the global hacking group about the laws that ban file sharing

but the bulk of america's warships to be deployed to the region by twenty twenty were not so rare as the secretary general of the political coalition thinks 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 piece and many other facilities 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 this 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 us the. well short and ought to be we also the residents of new york where they feel safe in storing parish what do you trust about markets is there investing in. well you know. the derivatives market well no more opinions from the very heart of the big coming your way in just a few minutes from now. if we get cocktails of treadmills an increasing number of women in new york taking to the shooting range to that head after all of those work and they're also taking the whole be home with sales of rifles and pistols to american women doubling in the past few years. as a story. it's the show that to find new york city's ambitious successful female you're known for their no love law on x.
