there is no way to say to war wasn't for the country's president has verbal forces pushed to bring the fight straight to president bashar assad's doorstep i'm very fortunate in damascus for you with the latest just ahead. a u.s. senate panel proves a new bill on a visa bans and sanctions against russian officials implicated in alleged human rights abuses in the latest diplomatic route to hit times between moscow and washington. london comes under intense criticism from skeptics who believe the city is mis managing its security operations as a prepares for next month's olympic games.

one pm in the russian capital you're watching r t was marina joshie and syrian government have reportedly stormed a half waters of a pro-government news channel killing three employees now this comes after the country's president called on his newly sworn in ministers to do everything in their power to win what he called an ongoing war. is in the syrian capital with the latest. this is the strongest statement from president bashar al assad since the uprising began sixteen months ago and i have to say the things that are indeed dramatic here on the ground the conflict is definitely escalate to a halt more than one hundred people have reportedly been dead in the last in just the last twenty four hours and earlier on tuesday the rebels attacked the president's elite republican guard just a few kilometers from the mask assented and in the night before president bashar assad's speech before a new cabinet we've been hearing the sounds of heavy explosions and intense

shelling and opposition activist to have laid to colditz is the worst day of clashes between the rebels and governmental forces say this is the uprising began last march the government. later after what happened on tuesday that a number of terrorists have been killed many of them have been captured including foreign nationals but we also hear in about a dramatic arrival just from the ministry side as well unfortunately we have to admit that there is little the international community can do about the syrian crisis at this point but still we are we see some international really after its own the table the u.n. observer treaty mission here in syria has been suspended to become too risky for and to dangerous for about three hundred monitors to work here on the ground and then for now the mission remains a frozen and since there is no progress here well we been hearing from u.n.

special own envoy kofi annan his his pushing the national conference take place the weekend things you believe are and the idea is to bring global and regional powers who have influence on both damascus and the rebel forces and see to and the can hammer out and try to hammer out a new approach to is solution to the syrian crisis and the idea is to invite see raised ally iran this is this something most code. has supported but it's been rejected by washington we need to get together and other let's be serious let's be serious all those you know national selfish agendas in the context of syria have not worked the only thing which they have helped generate is a further. vision of the situation and growing growing while and so if it's time to get serious and to make sure that we will exercise all leverage on where we can exercise leverage in syria in order to revert to the implementation of course. the

u.s. and its allies have a road in the contact group of series called friends of syria but the problem with these groups is that they've they've only been dealing always with the rebels but with only one side they will be meeting next week as well and of course this is anything but not easing the tensions here in the region but my financial reporting there from syria us a story and carol horn doesn't think kofi annan peace plan is doomed as long as you're an ally iran is made part of the international equation to solve the crisis . i think there's still hope that it might work keep in mind that the north atlantic nations and their arab allies particularly saudi arabia or relatively isolated on this matter of think the international community has learned the lessons from the libyan adventure recognizing that these crocodile tears are being shed about so the deaths in syria are basically a cover scene changed a lot of libya international community does not what the happened basically because

of the steadfastness in moscow and beijing and iran who i might add i think it's very important for the iranians to be represented in this upcoming meeting real party in interest and it would be contrary to international peace and security if they continue to be excluded from such of course. radical islamists are reportedly becoming more active in syria and other arab countries and they had of britain's m i five says the tran is a direct result of the arab spring which the us and its allies supported peace activist dr franklin lamb says nato policies are in fact for voting and stimulating . the my my point is why be even exist is either you know to for dignity and to overthrow some dictators but when you've got an operation like nato slaughtering civilians in pakistan afghanistan and iraq of course it's

going to activate them and give them the opportunity as you know al qaeda has urged its readership a surge of people to go to syria and get training and go to southern turkey and also in libya libya's become a major training center and i thought that as a fact and i know with quickly with some of the rebel militia against gadhafi but you say one al qaeda fighter is worth ten of us. and just a few minutes i had here on r t an inconvenient truth we reported on b.b.c. journalists exaggerated facts in their pursuit of a bigger story while covering revolutions in the arab world. and a new tit for tat route between russia and the us has been instigated by an american senate committee a billion am asleep proved in washington on tuesday slap sanctions and visa restrictions on russian officials accused of alleged human rights abuses that you measure is in reaction to the death of russian accountant sergei magnitsky he was

detained in two thousand and eight and charges of helping a british investment fund carry out attacks of asian russians already. stripped the national budget off almost two hundred million dollars but this dance eleven months later triggered accusations of serious mistreatment was then president medvedev ordering two investigations into his demise the u.s. ambassador to russia. bill is unnecessary because the obama administration has already taken measures to punish russian officials involved in human rights violations. of has the details. the senate foreign relations committee has passed the so-called magnitsky law now at this point it has little to do with the actual person that the proposed legislation was named after sergei magnitsky who tragically died in a russian jail back in two thousand and nine the wording of this new punitive legislation is much broader if passed by the senate it would require the united states to deny visas and freeze the assets of washington's generally accused of

human rights abuses the fact of the matter is that the u.s. has already barred eleven russian officials allegedly implicated in the death of sergei magnitsky from entering the united states but the names of those people have not been disclosed russia retaliated last year by taking similar measures against eleven american officials accused of human rights violations in u.s. secret prisons in iraq afghanistan guantanamo president puts in called these deaths in prison a tragedy it's been. investigated by russian authorities deems this kind of legislation as interference in their internal affairs a kind of interfere is that will most likely backfire moscow made it clear that they will be forced to adopt similar measures and the potential list of american officials involved in human rights violations around the world can be very long including torture practices again a rack of ghana's than guantanamo so this could trigger a series of tit for tat moves which will aggravate relations between the countries

as far as the obama administration they feel working hard on russia's admission into the world trade organization on lifting the outdated jackson and bennett amendment in order to give american businesses a better access into the russian market and later this summer congress is set to vote on a legislation that will strike down this soviet era amendment to which would decades had limited u.s. a trade with russia but there are attempts in congress to attach this new human rights bill to the upcoming bill on establishing permanent normal trade relations with russia that's what the act is called and frankly moscow is worried about the attempts to replace one punitive russian legislation with another. there now a political consultant daniel walker things the move by u.s. lawmakers is ill timed and ill advised. the bigger issue for americans is what this may mean for american businesses in russia that's a very big issue another question is whether it's going to be conducive to

eliciting a cooperative response in foreign affairs from the russian government i don't see how it's going to be less at that it seems to me that it's very ill timed to have this kind of sort of cold war era rhetoric flying about in washington at a time when it really needs russia's cooperation on a number of very important issues seems to me what the u.s. ought to be doing is finding a way to cooperate with russia on these issues rather than inviting it to have some sort of a difficult relationship going forward. and still to come here on our to radicalism takes hold of europe as long as you're spread as fast as those opposing them as governments struggle to understand which sentiment poses more of the threat. the b.b.c. has acknowledged that its journalists got carried away in covering the arab spring and let excitements effect professional neutrality well it's haftar every port was

released jesting the u.k.'s leading news broadcaster was not accurate enough in its assessment of the revolutions that accuse the organisation of being slow to highlight human rights abuses by rebel factions in the libyan war and underestimated the violent nature of the syrian uprising as it began and also says the v.c. failed to deliver russia's and china's positions on events unfolding in the middle east and north africa t.j. walker is c.e.o. of media training worldwide says the criticism comes as no surprise. let's not forget the b.b.c. used to be the gold standard in part because they just didn't have that much competition these days they get competition from russia today and i'll just and france twenty four there is so much more competition they don't necessarily have more resources. and again it's always sexier to go after a story where there is a revolution and there is a toppling of a regime rather than an uprising that can be stamped down so doesn't mean it was

a good journalistic decision but that is that is reality when it comes to major networks because it doesn't matter how rich you are as a network there's always more stories than there are places where you can send journalists and t.v. crews and production crews you do have to make choices many many major news organizations like to maintain relations with those in power so it looks like a revolution isn't going to work certainly there is a desire to be seen as still someone that can deal with the powers that be so there may be some politics there. well for more news and videos twenty four hours a day you can log on to our website r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's waiting freeze air. while the bull leads to firing why a comments about ukrainian women caused it to radio hosts to lose their jobs after the country's recent win over sweden. along this monster exist and that's according

upon us and with just one month to go it's not just the athletes who are warming up a massive security operation is also getting into gear we've got battleships on the river thames with missiles we've got pilotless drones with laser guided bombs missile batteries dotted around the city personnel with untold numbers of firearms you've got a question the probe proportionality of this london two thousand and twelve is actually starting to look more like a security event. not a sporting event. a security event with a little bit of incidental sport on the soil the olympics is the u.k.'s biggest peace time security operation and the numbers of personnel are staggering on the ground during the games they'll be twelve and a half thousand police officers supported by the occasion by thirty three to the whole thousand soldiers but insiders are saying basic security here at the olympic park is seriously lacking investigative journalist lee hazeldean is on the cover

with g four s. the security firm that won the four hundred fifty million dollars contract for the games he's posing as a trainee and says rule recruits vetting and training are substandard i was asked during the training exercises to be a would be terrorist i was given a knife a real gun and ammunition and a fake i.e.d. the gun was in my bag preacher didn't see it i did a good several times he still didn't find it he got behind one did the handle and it didn't go he hadn't turned on police says he's raised his concerns with g four s. but was told to mind his own business no one from the company was available to comment for this report meanwhile the organizing committee remains resolute about safety security is absolutely the top priority for us and we want people to come to visit london. well you twelve to be absolutely confident they're going to be safe and

secure and you'll go security thanks for a machine to look at anything you produce. that way we can check that anybody coming into the hall isn't bringing anything with them that could do anybody any damage that's not lee's experience of the operation and he's pessimistic about the safety of visitors to the olympic park huge knife in there you know if one. person and fifty people go through different piers that's fifty rounds of ammunition in the olympics that's a massacre right then and there if a terrorist or a terrorist organization is intent on getting into the olympics all they have to do at the moment is with a month to go the head of m i five says his organization can't guarantee the security of the games that people are asking is the point of the heavy artillery if the park itself is left wide open laura smith london. and time to check out the latest business news marina is there for us what's on

investors' minds today or in the wall in fact today they're thinking about tomorrow because the european summit will begin and e.u. leaders are expected to be discussing firmer first go inside as well as securing a banking union establishing one and if you take a look at the european figures and see what's happening there it seems that there's a lot of optimism about the happening tomorrow we can see that both the footsie and the dikes are adding ever so slightly and we do know that banking stocks and drug makers are among the top gainers this hour now if you want to take a look at currencies and see what the euro dollar a ruble are doing with that the euro is still moving against the dollar but it's still pretty much as you can see there the ruble solution against the euro by gaining into the greenback if you take a look at the russian markets we're seeing signs of optimism here as well as crude prices are stabilizing also about that in a second worse we can see the r.t.s. at a point four percent the saudi. my six is already over half a percent in that like now as i said food prices always have

a major effect on the russian economy and even though they're pointing at a lower this hour they are it's better the situation is much better than what we saw the past couple of days but i haven't said that the light sweet is still trading below eighty dollars a barrel the brant blood which has been making a little bit of a recovery in the past few trade and sessions is now again heading lower in fact when it comes to lights with one fifth of its value since january and in general crude prices are trading eighteen month lows but it's not only crude suffer from the eurozone that worries we also have aluminum prices which twenty percent since the beginning of the year we spoke to the top award of the world's top aluminum producer in the us alcoa and the c told us that there's nothing to worry about when it comes to aluminum prices and the current market fluctuations. twenty percent price decline is painful at the same time we are also seeing tremendous growth as we've seen ten percent. girls last year we project seven percent world market

goes this year we've seen that physic is very very strong the few want to buy a ton of aluminum you would have to buy a physical delivery premium physical delivery of premiums are at a record high you story you have to put these things together the whole room that currently overshadows the whole cause very strongly by this question of the wrong how is europe going to be valid it's always shadowing the pricing. let's make no mistakes that has very little to do with the fundamentals that existed no market fundamentals are very strong demand is very strong we're entering a lot of additional industries. and i'm very optimistic that this is also want to play well in the russian market. now and all the news according to latest research russia might be the perfect place to find a job in the next decade as there will be many many vacancies according to wealth

management division of bank of america that's merrill lynch claims that there will be nine a million job vacancies in the next decade and all of this is because of russia's them or graphic problems and that's because there aren't enough people available to replace the aging workforce in the country the banks out of less expect local employers to raise salaries by roughly six and a half percent a year to prevent their employees from looking for another job and by twenty twenty this could more than double the average salary in the country however merrill lynch also expects russia to keep raising taxes increasing social spending. but and this is how business looks for now back to marina in the studio all right thanks very much in the arena for this update on forecast looking forward to more next hour in the meantime have lines are coming your way stay with.
