same time we've been seeing that syrian government has given too much freedom to syrian army to deal with u.n. observer they were sent to syria in mid april to monitor the implementation of coffee and six point peace plan in syria is according to this plan a ceasefire was supposed to take force on april the twelfth but instead we've been seeing and creates a number of attacks from both sides international officials and u.n. officials confirming that cease fire hasn't been implemented and both sides have been equally responsible for that well what we are seeing now here in theory is kind of deadlock because as a u.n. mission general stress there is no other plan on the table but these six point annan plan is not been implemented meanwhile we see the most. serious sees no the answer to that and is pushing both sides to try to to implement this plan

and. most is resisting military intervention in syria while the calls for that get louder and louder we are hearing reports from u.s. military officials that it has completed its own planning for how american troops would conduct operations against the syrian government just days after the u.s. state department was to back away after hillary clinton's controversial remarks alleging that attack helicopters were on their way from russia to syria we're hearing new comments from u.s. military officials this time reporters an american news outlets saying that most has sent a small contingent of troops to syria the pentagon says its trek in and russian military cargo ships and it is now making its way to syria through a russian naval base there in the city of tire to say we're going to hear in from military diplomatic sources in morse code that indeed one of the large land. chiefs

of the black sea fleet is on standby there and is ready to be sent to syria if needed just to protect russian citizens in this port. but it denies that it is right now making its way to the port of tartus with the violence raging on in syria many in the international community were quick to put the blame for alleged massacre so early on assad forces. from a christian ministry in syria she says armed rebels are playing games with the u.n. monitors we were deferrals in the world to wear a phone to the scene or to tell you in the night of war would end the people told us they have seen the militia and carrying out of from the national hospital in toledo corpses arms of blankets after ministry of very scurrying then to assemble then in was the second day we have seen the un observers coming to this very modest

to be able to see the saws because it's not possible he said to. me would kill those people international hospital then carried them under in the blankets and to give them to the opposition closer disease swine have all and a possibility to show them we is there on a story you end up sort of elysia men we don't know who they are the armed opposition they have many strengths each one of those factions are working independently it's why it's very difficult to tell you they are. ahead in the next few minutes china's most ambitious space mission to date sends its first ever female astronaut into yob it on a mission that could pave the way for china's manned space station. also police in

the u.s. seem to think a camera is more dangerous than a gun and these that's the impression some journalists say they're getting when faced with a brutal police action at protests ready. it's a tough decision for egyptians as a state for the country's next president in the election runoff their choices between muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi and. husni mubarak's last prime minister the ballot comes after the country's supreme konsole dissolved parliament and the same fate could now face an assembly appointed earlier to draft a new constitution thousands of people chose to boycott the votes they need a candidate drip resents the egypt they will find to fall in last year's revolution the ruling military council promised to transfer khalid to the new president by july the first but independent journalist thomas the same things that that's highly unlikely. or may sound harsh but to me this election is not about what the egyptian people want it's about what the usa wants egypt is run by a military council who was put in power by basically what the u.s.

approval last year with the overthrow of move work the united states has invested something like one hundred billion dollars in today's dollars. keeping the egyptian military funded the election looks pretty rigged i mean the rules have been changed since the last election you know the reality is political power grows out of the barrel of a gun and egyptian military has the gun and they're being funded two to one of a billion dollars every year by the u.s. you know whatever happens in the selection even if the muslim brotherhood does win the election the military still is going to help our. egyptian election is also being followed closely by the countries neighboring israel there are fears anti jewish sentiment on the rise as is. all spike if and as level as a candidate comes to power and policy has a story and that certain corner asked with these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi is campaigning has launched with a vowel that the capital of the arab world will be

a jerusalem with morsi drawn to liberate it six weeks on the contest is as tight as ever with morsi a strong contender to be egypt's next president and his promise is as governessing as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed including the treaty with israel or egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not in their interest to go and make sure the other departments to what it is signed as if it's not warming enough for israel what will happen to the one nine hundred seventy nine peace treaty with egypt big players who've put their weight behind most his presidential bid has been even more bold in their claims. the war with israel is in no way something that can be rolled out to the clock was always ticking the egyptian street no stranger to empty israel sentiment and despite the worries about stability in the revolution elections simmering below the surface is hostility towards israel but that hostility was kept in check during the bike's time the top floor of this building used to house these weighty embassy in cairo

but it's now closed up and became a sign is rabies fear of what's to come. for egyptians it is really squabbling and i mean number one the next president will be strong and change the status quo i refuse to continue the relationship mubarak had was really nice continue to fight. he's a realist the first period for us ex-president should cut all the relations between us the memo which it's a three eighty israelis can no longer ignore thing that. anybody should close ones and ignore such threats. that's not only very negative but it is alarming but a muslim brotherhood victory is not a done deal on thursday egypt's constitutional court dissolved the islamize dominated parliament and gave morsi is contender seek the green light to stay in the race but it's done little to calm israeli fears of an islamist government on its border. be reduced to zero. but the real problem is

to what extent will the brotherhood pursue its goal of trying to destroy israel and kill all of us i don't sell i way i would actually say that the main security danger to israel today and for the next two years is not iran but the situation in egypt a consume the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think so inclined to some trouble here but not trouble. you know but maybe israelis are worried because in the ruthless business of politicking easy points are schooled by using the jewish state as a punchbag and watch israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented to move to the c.r.t. . r.j. is closely following developments in egypt stay with us for the latest updates and expert analysis from the first the post mubarak presidential elections.

line is a. remnant of a tyrannical. trampled. by. islamist. public anger has spilled out onto the streets of rome with italians protesting at ever growing cuts and unpopular employment and tax policies it's fear the country which is at the euro zone's third largest economy could be next in line for a bailout r.t. sarah furthur is following the rally. thousands of people had. it right to the unions but that phrase fasting against the continued austerity measures that have told the country among stays. high unemployment in particular. that employment

cost you might like last year and you had to take that prime minister mario monti he was a mess that makes the country finances but the tough economic medicine that if the spider was really. tell you just the large number of people that it's this march today the year isn't that largest economy has seen its current course absolutely saw the impact that people's lives is very significant of course this isn't something we see this year in stone building for a long time you call greece ireland portugal spain spain which is just recently had . the stalls and a lot of people think it's going to be following in the first that the other countries had a full state bailout in recent times remember just a couple of years ago even love that you mention the possibility about

a year lending about the end of the year and say well there's a couple of years on those same people and now very realistically discussing the possibility of the disintegration and the break up of the year is the question that everyone's asking is what now happens next are we close to saying goodbye altogether to the year right how will that impact this country that it's really i think the. next disaster there are. greeks i care enough to make one of the most crucial financial decisions in recent history their future in the euro support before sunday's election is said to be divided almost equally between two parties left wing is strongly opposed and conservative group a new democracy which once to on a bailout obligations archies a jayco greece is in athens. this is really become a two horse race about two differing schools of thought one of them is backing the

waves of austerity we've already seen which have been growing increasingly popular that means job cuts means cuts to salaries and also means cuts to spending from the government all part of this bailout provided by the e.u. i.m.f. and the euro zone now that has proven increasingly unpopular but still being defended by new democracy there on the other side of the fence has to reason out beforehand before the previous elections in may these are seen as quite the outside left radical group now although they're really garnering much more middle ground when it comes that sentiment of opposing this. measure is being put in place of opposing what's come before them they say there's been too costly for the greek people in their eyes and in many voters' eyes austerity simply isn't working to dealing with a mixed bag but one fact remains that present people in greece are still suffering prosperity and

a crippled economy. we can now talk to financial writer peter build who joins us live from berlin peter on sunday greece to will hold a second election after the first one failed to bring about a coalition government what do you think the outcome will be this time around. well as we know over the last two weeks there have been no opinion polls so my guess is really certainly no better than your money in greece but i have a feeling just possibly that after the anger which was expressed in the first election which brought the new left if you like to the power of the anti bailout people there may be that may be overtaken by fear fear that if they do vote for that far left party if they do throw out the bailout terms they may not in fact be able to get any more money and the country would not only be bust immediately but would also probably have to leave the euro and that is not something that greeks want includes all of the parties in contention now both the new left the

party which has gone right down and indeed the new germany right. now if greece that does exit the eurozone what impact you would have on the kinds union as a whole. well that is with the if you like the sixty four trillion dollar question nobody actually knows it's never happened like this before that a very very tightly knit union currency union has ever actually broken up the real fear is that there could be immense legal fattal's going on for years and years and years between banks between debtors and lenders. simply because nobody knows exactly in what currency the debts that have been run up would have to be repaid those in greece perhaps would be repaid with a far devalued new drama but that of course could possibly put the banks in germany

in france in terrific trouble and so the real consequences are so enormous potentially enormous that nobody really wants to contemplate now the protests in rame that are calling for growth instead of causing more jobs instead of layoffs what do you think they tell you government should do to avoid becoming the next bailout nation. well certainly simply spending money at this stage is not going to help the italian government it might be the right thing to do economically but at the moment the austerity the those who argue for austerity in particular germany and even from it's they are simply not going to allow any new any other governments to run up immense debts in order to if you like spend their way out of trouble the new fiscal pact which is coming in is simply going to make that impossible so what what should italy be doing now well obviously they simply have to continue trying

to make their. economy more competitive in order to compete against the germans in order that way to create jobs it's a supplies side solution not a demand like solution. now the euro zone has been under a lot of strain lately we've seen them you know bailout bailing out greece and then there were talks of spain and it's now it's really doesn't have enough money to actually bailout you know a larger economy such as italy well at the moment obviously not know the the funds that have been set up the so-called fire walls they are certainly not big enough to bail out italy but the problem is not really the amount of money that is potentially there it's a political question because if they are low or if you like the moment of the european central bank that it prints new money then there is an endless amount of money available so yes there is potentially enough money to bail out everybody and

his mother but the will at the moment is not there to do that simply because it delays the problem of the lack of competitiveness of some of the euro zone countries well let's leave it right b.p. to build financial writer in berlin thank you for talking to us on r.t. . margaret. much more lined up for you at our to call away reveal that toxic fallout from america's agent orange may have spread from vietnam to japan with fears that. have a side buried for decades have poisoned. a little bag of privacy settings to silicon valley titans yahoo and microsoft have been cashing in on personal user data sending it to a political campaign as. he used to.

cheek remembers will spend around ten days in awe that this spacecraft blasted off successfully from a launch pad in the desert in north korean china the aim of the mission is to test across the billeted to dock at the other two module if successful it could pave the way for beijing setting up a manned space station by twenty twenty. the managing editor of space dot com says china is going full steam ahead with its ambitions. this is their big test to show that they can do it with people on board they can do it with a mixed crew. of veterans and new space flyers for them it's a major milestone what china has done in just the last decade it has taken a stepping stone approach to human spaceflight so they went with unmanned launches first and in two thousand and three the first manned launch last year was the first unmanned docking at this space module but china is the third country after russia the united states to develop human spaceflight and it really looked at the success of russia's program the experience that nasa had to to shape its own independent

program they've also just learned from the errors and the successes of those two programs so well you see where you see a long decades long legacy of russia and the united states china is really relatively new but they're trying to focus on what they can do. successfully and that will be. really unique and tailored to what china hopes to accomplish in space . world news in brief now a twenty car bomb explosions have rocked the wrought killing of two women injuring dozens of grass targeted neighborhoods with thousands of sheer programs have gathered to mark a religious festival the violence is the latest in a wave of attacks on shia muslims in recent weeks seventy people killed on wednesday alone. japan's order to restart two nuclear reactors the first to go back online since all the country's plants are closed following last year's a fukushima disaster the decision to despised

wasn't enough for the new york police his press pass feeling to pass the test this reporter got arrested while covering the occupy wall street protests no muss no fuss officer just. something. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department. ask whether i have your police or unfortunately that's one expired keil rights for daily russian newspaper and has worked in the us for the last three years or they'll prove you have they don't really care that it just you just business and you credentials can't really protect you sin through a whirlpool like legal system the seasoned journalist was treated as a protest participant under arrest twenty four hours behind bars a quickie trial six hundred dollars in fines were his punishment for doing his job covering the news of the day and then there were the two days of community service the what you never bring right away here there's an official station give you

brooms trash cans and child and you're basically walking around sweeping the streets picking up the debris paper cigarette about whatever keep you is now on probation for six months it is an outrage in a country that professes to have a i'm dying or stats for the free press to be you know throwing reporters in jail. stuff but this case is not unique rather it's part of a dangerous trend in the us when you let the state control who has a journal. list that's just propaganda team pool is an independent journalist who has witnessed police reject press passes on a state by state basis throughout occupy wall street protests that in new york they don't care even if you have a press pass i've watched i've watched a cop grab a journalist with his press pass on the ground i've seen supervisors call out to

grab a journalist press pass and take it from him at d.c. p.d. processes things in oakland they require a local oakland press and i in new york they've been rejecting trespassers from other jurisdictions have a first amendment which guarantees the freedom of the press i mean there is no nothing in the law which must please agencies to determine which press and are legitimate press and which are not requiring a press pass has also been sending journalists through a vicious circle not just people work with guessing games of which state might be in next to cover story near impossibility in the past these world you have to prove that you've covered breaking news but it's hard to cover breaking news in the police won't let you so creates this catch twenty two take several months finally if they like the news you're making they'll let you get a pass. arbitrary or unattainable press passes demanded journalists arrested for covering the news the constitutional concept of media freedom under siege i think

we're slowly coming into a state of affairs where. shouldn't a video camera is a lot more dangerous to the establishment and shooting a gun choosing to view his arrest as an invaluable cultural experience he treats it with humor i got two articles out of my experience so it's pretty good outcome for me freedom of the press in america a first hand account is the situation our fourteen new york. in a few minutes will be heading over to our washington studios for the capital account that's often update on our top stories.
