5:01 pm
has said external players are provoking the syrian opposition to continue fighting despite kofi annan peace plan but the country now on the brink of a full scale civil war. has the details. russia wants to see a peaceful solution chivas through negotiations to the situation in syria. rove said that russia wouldn't accept any measures put through the united nations that could lead or 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 for the government must in syria mustn't be blamed totally for toppling in the country and said that the rebels have some responsibility to shoulder as well. i mean it will mean when we hear reports of another massacre in syria and other atrocities almost daily many international media outlets want to
5:02 pm
put the blame entirely on assad the government of any country is of course responsible for what is happening in that country walkies not the regime is not solely to blame but that we see massacres in houla as terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo that have been condemned by the u.n. 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. 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
5:03 pm
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 how. in the past been willing to to discuss and discuss issues with the run when it serves their purpose also secular of 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 that 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
5:04 pm
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. u.n. observers in syria continue their investigation into an alleged massacre in the hama province the monitors are visiting the site of the killings but are unable to determine how many died or who was behind the slaughter patrick case is a reporter from the online magazine spiked believes outside 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 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 to be troubled by the massacres that are taking place by the fighting that is taking place but you have to really resist
5:05 pm
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 potentially 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. spain has finally admitted it needs cash to help its troubled banks after emergency talks with the eurozone ministers the country's finance minister said madrid is going to ask for a loan greater than the forty billion euros recommended by the international monetary fund crisis strategist gonzalo lira believes spain will end up losing its banking sector. spain needs more money spain the country the nation the sovereign nation as well as spain's financial sector spain is bankrupt there is no other way
5:06 pm
to look at it and this is just postponing the inevitable so far that they have promised a billion euros under billion euros in order to gain some perspective that was as roughly ten percent and i think the notion is to scare the markets into thinking that ear pms and salvage spain and spain is not a problem i think that the markets are going to realize very quickly that this is a smokescreen i personally don't think that i that this will happen that this hundred billion euros will be just for it over to spain's banks and even if it is it will have some of these things that for all intents and purposes it won't be really any kind of a handout it will be a some sort of an european nationalization of the spanish banking sector i think all of this is really a reaction to what is one on june seventeenth rhesus want to have parliamentary elections and it's looking very likely that the greek people will vote against any kind of austerity for the austerity measures after so i think that you're in power
5:07 pm
as are trying to come up with a way to save face and protect spain from what they perceive is going to be the disaster of next monday. the life here in moscow still to come this hour a tainted reputation as the number one set to start next month we investigate why if link to allegations of human rights abuses has been chosen to provide security. that's going to come because russians violating protest regulations will now have to pay seven thousand euros or do up to two hundred hours of community service president putin stress the new rally law is in line with european standards you know position is putting a so-called million man march next week but it looks like the movement is unlikely to live up to its former glory is what is jacob greece 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 it never quite
5:08 pm
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 so 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 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 of president vladimir putin is
5:09 pm
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 him i can go on the rate of fusion of very different political forces will have national socialists have already called bolsheviks here a lot of people who just don't want to look some people just want to have a party you saw 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 classes for camping the stage sit ins took root after tweet from an activist alexina valmy arrests have followed but many don't see the
5:10 pm
police as the real threat to the movement's longevity of a civic does to a leader is always required says without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation where there are lots and there is presently no leader here. i have not seen any leader that i can vote for myself but i hope that this move 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 its convince a nation let alone supporters more than tents and twitter will be needed. r.t. . this is r.t. live here in the russian capital coming up in the next few minutes for you hackers to bring down government websites by just peaceful demonstrators we speak to an indian activist as the country's web users hold rallies against internet censorship

5:12 pm
a gas cloud in india and the maiming of countless more who were poisoned by the by the dow chemical company i think there's been a real complete kind of mismatch in this olympics with trying to bring in really explain essentially prostitute the olympics and give a lot of these poisonous very profitable and actually very dark nasty companies greenwash for them that is to say to sanitize their images so show it in them with the olympic event and that is not what the olympics are for starting to look rather more like the nine hundred thirty six olympics than the good old london nineteen forty eight olympics which were done in a much nicer fashion without all this horrible corporate sponsorship. in internet users have taken their grievances onto the streets with rallies across the country against online censorship anonymous operation india which is a branch of the global hacking group about the laws that ban file sharing websites new delhi based activists did i believe anonymous are simply peaceful demonstrators
5:13 pm
