right now they're trying to establish exactly what happened during last week's massacre in the central province some province of how much how many people were killed and who's to blame but this is extremely hard to do and the details of very hard to very far. because there is a lot of confusion and the main reason is that the many many sides been involved in this conflict here in syria not just governmental forces or. of rebels rebel fighters but the results of the police third part. it may include. the jihad is whose goal is to topple the regime here in syria and all of these toys involved in this conflict may be responsible for the killing and that also could be a provocation so it makes. the work call for u.n. . mission here on the ground extremely complicated we've also recently been

afterburner barholm go yan is a very shady character he has very good kurdish corrections of course so many connections as well but he has also tried to play to the christian answer the other way i say look if there is. the government or rejean or we're not going to touch it nobody believes him insights you know in fact did jim brail of the opposition umbrella this disgruntled matter in fact you know they don't get along with each other in the air if you read it on the ground by people who are actually doing a lot of these killings in fact and these people they are mercenaries imported from libya by the way via qatar daughter where i am at the moment and this is a blue subject to be discussed here in qatar i can find anybody here who would discuss a crane clee what the qatari intelligence services are actually doing on the ground

in syria but this is part of the qatari foreign policy they are financing and weaponize and do really hardcore arm of the syrian opposition and i'm not sure mr sieda the new ahead of the syrians or council not what's really going on the ground . u.s. senator john mccain confirms that armed rebels in syria are directly are being directly supplied with weapons by some regional countries including saudi arabia are two reports for you online the senator insists the u.s. should follow their lead to spite concerns over extremist forces among the such groups. because the montréal may have police tear gas and pepper spray student protesters but they refuse to give in over to which rises the video analysis and reaction are at r t v dot com. president francois along socialist party and its left its allies stand to take control of parliament

following a triumphant first round they and their allies secured more than forty six percent giving a powerful boost to all and but in the lurch to the left means germany is losing its right hand man in pushing for cuts across europe has the latest from paris the results of the first round sort of these a very good moral boost for the socialist party in trying to get a majority of the lower house of parliament however nothing is a certain definitely there's no time for complacency and they can't just sit around and expect the same results in the second round there are still the un people already the conservatives still trying to rally whatever support they can get most of dissipated a policy the false well known is the one that he's speaking about quite a lot during his campaign which is one group of friends for the spirity that's on the one hand and how this translates for the french people is that more jobs and taxing the rich it's this tax and spend policy that he wants to france as much as

seventy five percent tax for the rich certainly not something that conservatives wanted so if he wants to get this a policy like that through he will need the support of the lower house of those remember the socialists already have the support of the senate so it will be much easier to get things through you also promise about sixty thousand dollars. in the next five years as well as retirement age bringing it down to sixty and this is against from sixty two this is against the a stereotype driven past that the rest of europe is taking so france will be taking a very different approach as you get the approach if you will also of course you want to draw french troops a year earlier than planned from afghanistan and he needs the support of both houses to get this through so france will land gunning for a majority in the parliament and let's not forget that it is necessary that he provides concrete results for the french people the patience is very low what this point and the nicolas sarkozy became deeply unpopular for coming in with promises

and not fulfilling any of those promises it's what got him out of the end he's a free if we remember. new grown from the foundation for strategic research says the potential victory of the french socialist reflects the call for change around europe prints pretty. interesting because they're not always go with the sacred in europe when we do see certainly the rise of those nationalist policies all over the board in europe and this is clearly the case you. were in your and this is a phenomenon that is happening across the board. when it comes to the rise of socialism so. it's clear in the recent elections in europe if the. parties in power about the tendency to lose election that don't happen in greece in . spain you need to be so this is a situation where incumbents are in trouble. coming out later in the program equal

side in the quarterfinals but for now i understand that she decided against coming here as well as almost all of the members of the dutch government the only sound of the minister of sport here to ukraine to attend the dutch games but other members who always attend dutch games when they play during the year it was decided against coming here i also understand that the dutch supporters ahead of their game against denmark in the city of try to get marched the streets of this ukrainian city wearing t. shirts saying free so you can see for yourself that this story is being closely connected to politics closely connected to the pressure from the european union on ukraine to release you will see certainly in the coming weeks how this situation will unfold for now it's been a very peaceful here and everyone certainly enjoys the great game of football which we are seeing every night from both poland and ukraine. and as for that football itself we've got all the drama on the pitch with the union in our team sport later this hour for you. police in moscow are searching the home of opposition leader

fair pay is more important i explained. these medical and scape of america's professional force has undergone major reconstruction over the decades women now make up fifty percent of the nation's labor force sixty percent of the voting population and they've surpassed men in earning advanced college degrees but when it comes to salary the land of opportunity remains a land of inequality for women full time working women in the u.s. just seventy seven cents for every dollar made by a man according to recent statistics men earn higher salaries in nearly all occupations including nursing teaching and even secretarial work but experts say the pay gap has less to do with all of the patients and much more to do with stereotypes surrounding gender united states that definitely has a lot of cases where women are bluntly discriminated and where they are just

discriminated based based on sex the u.s. government says that the current earnings gap will cost the average full time working woman at least four hundred thousand dollars by the time she's sixty five years old we keep going for higher and higher degrees you know almost done with the double masters and i'm going to go for my ph d. man doesn't have to do that so this move if you feel that you know you need to be paid more you need to like put it with don and say that i need to be paid more there's still racism that still sexism i feel like there's a met men feel they have a higher power for women just in any sort of sense even the workplace socially it just doesn't make sense to me according to the institute for women's policy research females working on wall street or in real estate face the largest earnings gaps making as much as forty percent less than their male counterpart financial compassions in those occupations women like really big wage caps and is in part

were couple of guys in a garage invented a technology that spread like. everything. everything everything that happened on the internet just wound after being unknown a few months of you few years before so you cannot predict what will be the next innovation my point here is that its. policy has to adapt to society and not the other way around we have the impression with the copyright wars that. the legislature tries to make the whole society change to adapt to a framework that is defined by hollywood say ok what you're doing when your new cultural practice is just morally wrong so if you don't want to stop it then we'll design

legal tools to make you stop doing what you think is good this is not the way to make good policy so i'm convinced that when you enable the most powerful industrial actors to decide what policy should be you don't go that way. when our children will carry you after business asking we've been following the spanish vera out situation for investors it's temporary sigh of relief we're hearing isn't it is that they're actually climbing out the moment the global markets we are seeing gains and that's after spending requested the one hundred twenty six billion dollars now that's to rescue that ailing banking sector which was left with billions of years of bad loans fall in the collapse of the property boom and the subsequent recession now recently there's been worries because of the borrowing costs reaching euro rec ords a last now it is official statement by the spanish economy minister he said the

loan will cover estimated capital requirements with an additional safety margin of that because the move means spain now has a fire wall should the greek election on june the seventeenth. a fresh round of market also has a bit of stability in force with the news today let's have a look at the european markets in asia and see as i say by the first day on the day as are indeed gaining want to mention the ibex as well the spanish balls are of four percent in the session at this hour so there is. of relief as you say very much that was saw that really are being paid down the asian markets around in a session they too were one of the first markets to receive news from the we can and with the bailout also there was some domestic factors that came out as well china's exports as well were far better than anticipated out today so that was boosting momentum now i've jumped fifteen percent in may from

a year earlier and that was indeed beating expectations as i say now industrial output and retail sales came the low estimate this say that this will make chinese authorities continue with the measure. to stimulate growth now thursday the country's central bank cut its interest rates for the first time in more than three years and that was on the worries of a slowdown some more stimulus is expected from the chinese economy but those exports have managed. the pressure slightly as we can see that's wall street that's how they finished on friday and investors were very much optimistic that there would be moves made of the weak hands that we interesting to see if that optimism. when the u.s. markets open in about three hours' time i think now all right there let's move on to the russian markets now it is a whole as a here master today so all the markets are closed today and tomorrow but what you're seeing on the screen is the closing figures for thirty days now they did

indeed get the r.t.s. and then why six that and that's because of oil which quiet it has a knock on effect in a moscow so after taking a battering in recent weeks they finished on a high and not in cars as we see how the ruble it was a mixed performers they managed to get against the u.s. dollar and lose out to figure the common currency on a screen like that one twenty six fifteen so that jumped up with all this momentum now i must say though concerns now remain with play that now at the forefront of investors' minds because they're boring cause of escalating and now the spanish situation has resolved some wards it is now in the top my out of moving on to the ore prices i did mention they are gaining all the sentiments i've been talking about the exports out of china increasing as well as demand from china on the up and also the european situation action has been taking all of that speed into

the prices and helping them to get now a talk about someone who's paid a lot of money for a bit of lunch with warren buffett we're talking three and a half billion dollars to have the luxury of the loo legendary. investor now he's eighty one years old now he is indeed of believe and he earned his supported by casting out of favor stocks underlay he holds a. benefit a homeless charity now the winner can invite up to seven of their plans to share a male and have a chat with the of best now interestingly buffett says that most of the questions he gets are these are just all most of us investing. so there we are just a bit to time for i'd certainly be asking about investor i would agree all the way thanks for that update a recap of our top stories heading your way after this stay with r.t. .

there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before material is. journalism on us we. want to present. something else. i'm sure all of our got a story or out about that crazy lady with

a convertible that. every time she. was on death row for nineteen years. a lot of the same life i think that we might just a. society has condemned these people as less than human it is necessary to punish crime and everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical. of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis and the sad part is the state of texas gets their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until after he's dead he's my only for any time i leave the house and my horn and he keeps telling me they can't hear me in there because it's all cinder block and concrete but i've ever.
