to pass judgment the american british and french push for military intervention in syria is absolutely enormous we've seen hague of course william hague the british foreign secretary calling for intervention we've seen the new french president saying the same thing the americans obviously taking the lead the specter of a military solution returned before an investigation into who was responsible was even launched they're all saying that the assad regime is commission human rights abuses and they repeat this message obsessive i am confident to predict that indeed it will remain fixed in people's minds and could well be used as a pretext and you don't have to look back too far to see where hasty joke to me so i rushed to take up arms over the course of the war and see exactly what happened in our division of a massacre which was the village of rochester you have a u.n. in korea that was severely bullied by the u.s. ambassador it was leading your observation mission on the ground your claims that

it was a brutal murder on programs occur of innocent civilians by government troops serving with blame presented with ultimatum and random games and bombed back then the yugoslavian government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the killings in this case blaming the ban in separatists from the kosovo liberation army an investigation was launched to find out whether the victims were innocent civilians as the international community claimed or whether the country's army had been battling professional fighters two out of three forensic inquiries proved most of the casualties died in combat the third report by an e.u. team has never been made public interestingly enough over the past of we've been reports of syrian rebels whoever they are liaising with the. think of being in kosovo liberation army the people who were basically agents of nato in the causal war. basically training. i don't know they were saying they were training in

democracy and human rights but definitely the only training that the caylee could have ever given anybody is how to see the massacre in your state of war and i believe that's exactly what's happening now. but even with hindsight after the nato bombing of yugoslavia ruling the alliance to say strikes in libya last year history isn't being prevented from repeating itself again and again with this seven images coming from syria and making world headlines everybody agrees those who are guilty must be punished but the reaction from the international community has been so sweet and so called donated the reason is that punishment will come before even those who are truly responsible are exposed and that could mean not just also justice but also huge loss of life refinishing r t reports in from syria. russia stepping up attacks first to mediate a diplomatic solution and once an international content group to persuade damascus and the rebels to cease fire and or talks moscow says that even

a willing to accept president departure but only if the syrian people show him the door. when we hear reports of another massacre in syria and currently we see such atrocities almost daily many international media outlets place the blame entirely on damascus the government of any country is of course responsible for what's happening within its borders but we're sure the regime alone is not to blame for everything we see massacres in houla the terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo that have been condemned by the un security council all of this is a result of confrontation that are getting more and more support from first of all moral support for the so-called opposition which is being supplied with money weapons and bolstered by militants from neighboring countries. i gather a serious information minister later this hour who tells us that mainstream reporting of what's happening in his country often counters with the reality. though not so it is very people are sponsible that's filmed their crimes and sent

the footage to the media blaming the government for the atrocities and a recent study shows that ninety percent of satellite coverage on syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in the country it's all lies and fabrications and i say again that there is a real information more waged against syria with real facts being substituted with fabrications these lies and the only way for them to achieve their objectives in their war against syria out of houla massacre is a good example of that as soon as the first pictures of the massacre released everybody started accusing the syrian army and security forces but we all know who was really behind this crime today the people of syria targeted by terrorists who are armed and sponsored by regional powers like qatar saudi arabia and turkey as well as by western nations such as the us who argues that.

cooperation between moscow and beijing is in full force with president putin taking of russia's top business leaders to china this week a handful of agreements on bassman an engine banking were signed and both nations say they hope to top last year's record trade of eighty billion dollars to reports from beijing. who could have thought half a century ago when china and russia clashed over disputed territory that in twenty twelfth russia's president would be greeted by a red carpet in beijing during a lavish state visit. where we know that three years ago china became russia's largest street party you know outstripping other nations in the former soviet union as well as germany and other european nations you know the security cooperation in russia and china parallels are economic and other forms of cooperation china needs an ally like russia like putin and hu jintao is alliance was reconfirmed by their unified stance on middle east issues in particular the syrian conflict that harpy

into some difference as a patron russia china and some by some that are again countries and from thailand the russians prospect have the key solution lysine. the implementation and that's planned route of allies and whether or not we see the party. existing government that is now the committee so i think russia and china's position on syria so it's more responsible and to sign a permanent on the final solution to the red process and putin splendid to boost their already strong military ties so to be pleased beijing in light of us need to wargames in the region and the recent tour of the u.s. defense secretary to the asian pacific china is strengthening its armed forces at unpredicted rate the united states invaded the philippines in one thousand nine hundred in one thousand eight hundred and invaded the asian part of russia to stop the russian revolution during world war two it fought most of the war in asia then

it went to korea vietnam the united states has fought many many battles in asia so a pivot towards asia should be considered something of great alarm for the people of the continent russia and china were also joined in beijing by iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad who supported their stance on syria the leaders also agreed that. diplomatic and political approaches should be considered when dealing with the issue of tehran's nuclear intentions condemning any international talk off aggression towards the slavic republic the chinese and the russians probably you know don't want to see and over over the domineering us is ition which i think is understandable coming from moscow and beijing and i think what the us i think does and to some degree the us with europe with western europe does you know does seem to be coming down quite strongly. in the middle east and in so far as the. russians and the chinese you know have their interest which and honestly congress with those of europe or the u.s.

they would probably want to protect those interests important talks in difficult times and dozens of multi-billion dollar business agreements signed putin story day visit but concerned that the countries have kickstarted a new era in their relations and the fact that putin chose beijing as one of his early priority since returning to power indicated that's in the far east where most co has one of its most important partners. more than half a century ago the chinese described the u.s.s.r. as dog the elder brother by the time the soviet union collapsed these sentiments were long gone two decades on the first visit to beijing suggested that the two countries may not feel like a family just yet but have definitely moved much closer to each other. reporting from beijing in china. we are still to come this hour here in our team sorry for the slaughter nato chief in afghanistan personally apologized for the airstrike that killed eighteen civilians more than half of which were women and

children. plus the court appearances began for america's most famous army whistleblower but it's the u.s. government that's got something to hide as we are we for it shortly. spain's become the fourth and largest country to ask europe to rescue its teetering banking system and will request a bailout of up to one hundred billion euros and follows an urgent meeting with euro zone ministers the international monetary fund carried out stress tests on spain's debt laden banks and concluded they need a bigger a buffer against any severe financial shocks earlier the fitch ratings agency slashed spain's credit score by three notches warning that a further a downgrade could take place in the coming months investment analyst patrick yang doubts the bailout will help spain just as it's failed for greece. all of the politicians who basically left the people stranded the new government in spain and went into the no i will move from the moment they came into office and six months

later they suddenly realized what anybody who was remotely financially literate could work out six months ago two years ago even the spanish banks are lost and ultimately there needs to be a way in order to manage to rescue them but the conventional being like mechanisms are not going to work and that's why ultimately it's very difficult to see tragically whether or not the real. is a future to the euro was a currency the greeks when you talk to them on one side they don't want austerity and they don't really think they should have to pay their bills for the deaths that have been grown by the government over the years at the same time they think they should be in the euro it's automatically a little bit like going out and pulling a group of eight year old children no matter that they may say that they realize they have to eat sensibly they're going to demand ice cream and jelly for their next meal and for every meal there after as long as they have influence the problem with greece is ultimately it doesn't really matter what they vote for in the course of the middle of june because they haven't actually been taking their medicine

greece ultimately is returning to the drachma i think whether it likes it or not because it's completely untenable as a conventional modern democracy it's simply sadly does not function as one. and l. is in line for some rough patches back then europe's fourth largest economy are locked into land forcing some struggling businesses to borrow from the mafia economy still very little mcgarty says the government's partly to blame. you know getting more of my. auntie's economy is particularly strong now because mafia has cash and you've got plenty of small businesses the tikka going to be in the south and the center will come to that running short of cash and have some kind of relationship with mafia because they were forced you know years to buy protection. from a few they made so tomasky as an investor with a say to capitalism and they may go into the black sector for getting money they

could not get out or through show banking sector ditches this is very troublesome and that's a very important bahrain that should tell our government meeting the need. to fix some of the problems that are troubling to tell an economy in particular that we need to diffuse actually a ship has to make more money available to tell the businesses more legitimate money coming out of customers and not coming out and getting that organizations. now r.t.l. com has the world wrapped up online so let's look at once there british politicians are to be quizzed over why a security firm. a human rights abuses might have been hired for the london olympics. and japanese scientists get a step closer to cracking the secret of the everlasting lie get the details on our website before it's too late.

those wanting to vand their anger during public protest in russia could now face have to find president putin who signed the bill into law on friday says it's aimed at protecting citizens from radicalism and is aligned with european standards the measure came into force after a lengthy parliamentary debate and revises the rules on public gatherings with increased fines of over seven thousand euros for public order violations the law faces its first test next tuesday when an anti-government rally called march of millions is due to be staged russia's opposition has been holding mass protests since last december some of which were unsanctioned and saw scuffles break out. coming up in just a few minutes here on our t.v. the obama blog buster taking out osama bin ladin is getting the hollywood treatment

and producers been getting on president to curiosus to make sure the election time movie is just right. thousands of egyptian protesters are keeping up the pressure ahead of next week's presidential runoff demanding that hosni mubarak's former prime minister be banned from the election what's angering them as close ties to the fallen regime and the military they believe his candidacy could be a threat to the revolution demonstrators in cairo. after your square held mock trials for acting out santa to him to get its former leader is serving life over the murder of hundreds of protesters during last year's revolution his former prime minister is up against muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi in next week's presidential runoff as affairs carolus now beyond doubt he says people are furious lack of positive change. it seems that the and going to reach. led to people massing and massive beyond the happiest when last year and the beginning of the

uprising and it's very much seen again on the streets of not only cairo and square in particular but across the country as a whole with all the demonstrations who were organized and when the verdict could al but also more demonstrations planned across the country in the days leading to the second round of elections so the end anger at the mubarak and ministration in general is still very much there and it's directed at many things first of all the fact that mubarak himself avoided execution over his lack of ability to protect the infant nine hundred thousand demonstrators in last year's uprising and more crucially the ones the six top aides in the mubarak regime which were acquitted and that is an indication as far as egyptians are concerned that although the head has been removed the body destruction of the mubarak regime is still very much in place. i'm guessing this president has been down the united states for

a failing to consult afghan forces over launching the airstrike that killed eighteen civilians how he karzai warned that if it happens again it will be considered a violation of his country's pact with washington the u.s. commander of nato forces in afghanistan visited the scene of last week's tragedy and apologized for civilian deaths which included women and children military saying the victims were celebrating a wedding when they were bombed something nato initially denied ross baker the editor of who want why dot com says the alliance's tactics in the region result in more violence not less it's entirely just proportionate when you receive a small amount of arms fire to send did airstrikes and i think there's going to have to be much more of a discussion about how proper this is and also the consequences of alienating afghans even more and provoking war suicide bombing killing civilians particularly

in the border regions. and it's just difficult to see how this benefits anybody out this dance just world peace how this really significantly sets back the taliban i think an entirely different solution is going to have to be conceived of in it it does not involve. now is take a look at some other stories from around the world france hands to the polls for parliamentary elections that will determine whether the new president will have enough manpower to push through his reforms socialist already control the french senate francois hollande took over the presidency last month from nicolas sarkozy who was widely criticized for agreeing to harsh cuts and for his aggressive foreign policies. the war crimes court is demanding the release of staff members who have been detained by the libyan authorities after the match the son saif al islam reports claimed one of the lawyers was held after trying to deliver documents be an

authority said were a danger to national security say about islam is accused of a row and killing of protesters during the revolt that toppled his father. ivory coast government is vowing to hunt down those behind it ambush and which at least eight civilians were killed near the border with liberia seven un peacekeepers who were patrolling in a remote village also died it's not clear who's behind the attack but it's believed to have targeted u.n. monitors who had a peace observing mission there since two thousand and four to help and the country's civil war. the pretrial hearings have begun for the soldier accused of america's biggest leak of classified data and its history twenty four year old bradley manning is charged with aiding the enemy by giving hundreds of u.s. cables to the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks but the fairness of his of coming trial is in question because the governments were holding more than two hundred thousand documents believed relevant to manning's defense lawyers plan to call

several u.s. state department workers to assess the damage done to american foreign relations by the disclosures. witnessed the first hearing. what was really clear today is that the government has been misrepresenting intentionally the sort of evidence that it has in its possession that it knows agencies possess which they do not want to turn over to the defense they cite legal reasons and on may military justice rules they talk about the fact that the defense hasn't been specific and they make up how they haven't used certain terms that you would normally use so they're just you know going above and beyond to stall and make sure that they can keep this going where they don't provide the information that the defense wants that's just not the role the judge is actually the person who makes the decision on whether evidence is supposed to be turned over to the defense is not the government or the

prosecutions decision when it comes to handling classified data it seems u.s. leaders have a very selective approach was being a caution and explains hollywood's got a backstage pass to the pentagon. from a former cia officer who questioned waterboarding to suspected we can be small bradley manning the obama administration has waged an unprecedented war on whistleblowers prosecuting more of them under a span ash laws than all previous administrations combined but it seems one man's snitch is another man's spin doctor the problem with the current situation with the current white house is they have leaked classified information for the times when it suits them to do so one of those with what was with the book obama's wars done by bob woodward where they played out two chapters of information about current operations and also with the catholic bigelow project regarding seal team six takedown of ben lauder last year at this time the film in question which is titled

as zero dark thirty covers last year's raid by u.s. commandos on the pakistani compound where osama bin laden was hiding the conservative watchdog judicial watch has obtained records revealing that hollywood filmmakers were given access to precisely undisclosed information about the operation oscar winning director kathryn bigelow and screenwriter mark boal were even granted at tour around the fold as cia building where tactical planning for the raid took place the film is out in december but was initially due to be released just weeks before november's presidential elections sad facts all some flak fly the administration's way while the entire project has raised concerns over the way intelligence is being used it's best that this kind of information particularly as it revolves around what's surrounding this movie remains classified

it absolutely has to it's very unfortunate that it's coming out to be used for political purposes for a congressional election however there is nothing unusual about the defense department collaborating with the makers of hollywood blockbusters. it's a partnership that dates back to the middle of the twentieth century and it has proved effective the pentagon has what hollywood filmmakers won access to millions of dollars worth of military equipment to use in the movies and hollywood has what the pentagon once the insolence to sugarcoat its actions and attract millions of potential recruits in recent months to other movies about the navy seals long survivor and act of valor how for sift official assistance veteran hollywood reporter david robb says the pentagon has for a long time had access to the scripts of hollywood filmmakers to show the military in a better lot and the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and

television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind so while for some facts will get true walked out others are trying to project patrick tales and propaganda on to the silver screen my integration archie reporting from las angeles california. well russian dentist armory shopper is back out as the world's number one she's trying to have a french open completing at career grand slam you know it's got more on this in our sports player this hour. while before that it's join us for our interview with syrian minister of information and the headlines very shortly stay with us.

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 the fall of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. upis of a difference to use it either as a threat or as. but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to get nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war this. is the equivalent fire power of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
