syria is now. according to the country's president as rebel forces push to fight straight to president bashar al assad's doorstep i'm ready. for you with the latest just ahead. the u.s. senate panel approves a new bill on visa bans and sanctions against russian officials implicated in alleged human rights abuses all of this in the latest diplomatic round it ties between moscow and washington. just one month to go before london's a two thousand and twelve olympics but as the city prepares to protect the streets critics say the games will look more like a security drill rather than that of a sporting spectacle.

live from moscow this is our rory sushi thanks for joining us on the program today in syria gunmen have reportedly stormed the headquarters of a pro-government news channel killing at least three employees 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 correspondent is in the syrian capital with the latest. this is this strongest statement from president bashar al assad since the uprising began sixteen months ago and i have to say that things that are indeed dramatic here on the ground the conflict is definitely escalated balt 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 the republican guard just a few kilometers from the mask a center 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 the tourist day of clashes between the rebels and governmental forces say this is the uprising began last march the government. later after 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 military 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 where we see some international really after its own the table the u.n. observer treaty mission here in syria has been suspended it's 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 what we been hearing from u.n. special own envoy kofi annan his his pushing pull the international conference to take place this weekend in geneva 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 kind of hammer out and try to hammer out a new approach to a 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. let's be serious let's be serious although you know national selfish agendas in the context of syria have not worked the only thing which they have generators of further

a good 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 our 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 their road and contact group of series called friends of syria but the problem with this group is that they've they've only been dealing always with the rebels that 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 that is mary financial reporting right there well i mean time radical islamists are reportedly becoming more active in syria and other arab countries and the head of britain's m i five says that the trend is a direct result of the arab spring which of the u.s. senate ally supported peace activist dr franklin lamb says nato policies are in fact provoking and stimulating al-qaeda. no but my point is why they 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 iraq of course it's going to activate them and give them the opportunity as you know al qaeda has urged its leadership a surge of people to go to syria and get training and go to southern turkey and also in libya libya has become a major training center and i saw that as a fact and i know with mixing with some of the rebel militia against gadhafi they used to say one al qaeda fighter is worth ten of us. it's good to have you with us around our to you today just a few minutes ahead for you in the program rather rather inconvenient truth we have more on how he journalists delivered crude reports in their pursuit of a bigger story of covering revolutions in the arab world. now

a new tit for tat row between russia and the u.s. has been instigated by an american senate committee a bill unanimously approved in washington on tuesday slaps sanctions and visa restrictions on russian officials who are accused of alleged human rights abuses the new measure is in reaction to the death of russian accountant sort of gave magnitsky he was detained in two thousand and eight on charges of helping a british investment fund carry out types of asian or russian authorities said the organization stripped the national budget of almost two hundred million dollars. death in a prison or so but all triggered accusations of serious mistreatment with the president medvedev ordering two investigations into his demise the incident reinvigorated calls to improve medical care in the country's prisons as well as cutting the number of people awaiting trial in detention facilities meanwhile the us ambassador to russia said the magnitsky bill is unnecessary because the obama

administration has already taken measures to punish russian officials involved in human rights violations more on this now if you want he's gone a church on certain issues of course the senate foreign relations committee has passed this 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 the says and freeze the assets of russians 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 surrogate needs good from entering. united states that 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 putin called deaths in prison a tragedy it's being investigated by russian authorities deems this kind of legislation

as interference in their internal affairs a kind of interference 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 galveston 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 invented 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. 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. political consultant on your wagon thinks the move by u.s. lawmakers is ill timed 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 that 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 it 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 this is still to come for you in the program that radicalism taking hold over europe islam is to spread as fast as those opposing the government's struggle to understand which sentiment poses more of a threat. now the b.b.c. has acknowledged that it's journalists quote got carried away in a covering the arab spring and let excitement effect professional neutrality so after a report was released suggesting that the u.k.'s leading news broadcast was not accurate enough in its assessment of the revolution it accused the organisation of being slow to highlight human rights abuses by rebel factions in the libyan war and underestimating the violent nature of the syrian uprising as it began it also says the b.b.c. failed to deliver russia's and china's positions on events unfolding in the middle east and north africa t.j.

we'll see if media training worldwide says the criticism comes as no surprise so. 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 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 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

pulitzer prize winning author and economic research daniel yergin that's ahead for you in just a few minutes. now the london olympics are just one month away but the city's security operations are certainly coming under attack thousands of weapon clad police and soldiers will take to the streets all in the name of public protection but skeptics believe the firearms won't actually help those inside the olympic park because basic security they're simply put is not up to par as artist laura smith reports. london two thousand and twelve is almost 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 batteries dotted around the city personnel with untold numbers of firearms or

you've got to question the proper 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 there lympics is the u.k.'s biggest peacetime 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 the occasion by thirteen of the hard thousand soldiers but insiders are saying basic security here at the olympic park is seriously lacking investigative journalist li hazeldean is under 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 role recruits vetting arms training are substandard i was asked during the training exercises to be a would be terrorist i was given a knife

that's fifty rounds of ammunition in the olympics and 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 queue up with a month to go the head of m i five says his organization can't guarantee the security of the games what people are asking is the point of the heavy artillery if the park itself is left wide open. london. looking for to be anything exciting ory we're not seeing any big moves in terms of the markets there and that's because investors are really waiting for that med without what happened on thursday where your leaders will be discussing a firmer fiscal integration as well as the creation of a banking union if we take a look at the numbers so impose the fair torie the numbers are and go in that much

higher as you can see the footsie adding one three three percent the south and the german that just a lot and analysts are hoping that the european markets will manage to break there for the losing streak and also know that it's really so boring cause some sharply as its old line believe neuros worth of treasury bills added offsets then this comes at day before it sells five and ten year government bonds rather than also currencies when it comes to the euro it is still flat against the u.s. dollar and the ruble is the news in against both major currencies. is the sour when it comes to the russian markets tracking games overseas or one of an overseas i'm talking about asia europe and wall street overnight we can see that b.r.t. has almost point nine percent there and then my six already of one percent in the black there and of course the prices that they have been helping although if you take a look at them they are heading south light sweet is still trading at eighty one hundred eighty dollars per barrel on the boards and mark there in fact light sweet

has lost of one of its value since january but it's slightly better than what we saw on wednesday to use that example views of what day it is today well more we saw in jeans that we can see that the pressure is trading at ninety thousand dollars or forty five sides a barrel there are moving on we know that even though crude prices are going down we also have aluminum prices which are decreasing twenty percent since the peak and that was reached in february but we spoke to the c.e.o. of alcoa and that is the top producer all of the world and he said there is no reason to panic because the man who will continue to grow around the world. twenty percent price decline is painful at the same time we are also seeing tremendous growth we've seen ten percent. growth 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 it. you would have to buy

a physical delivery premium physical delivered premiums are at a record high historic high you have to put these things together the whole new meaning that carney overshadows the whole course very strongly by this question of the wrong how is europe going to be developed it's all wash out doing the pricing. let's make no mistakes that has very little to do with the fundamentals that exist in our 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 and finally according to the latest forecasts russia may become the best place to find a job in the next couple of years and that's because they'll be many vacancies according to the wealth management division of bank of america and that is merrill they claim that there will be nine million vacancies in the next decade and that's because the country has a demographic problem there aren't enough people available to replace the aging

workforce in the country the bank's analysts expect local employers to raise salaries by roughly six and a half percent a year and that's to prevent their employees from looking for another job and by twenty it's one through this could more than double the average salary in the country botts maryland does expect pressure to keep raising taxes due to an increase in social spending. and that's what i have for you this hour do you have a get your days next up all the time ok that makes it feel so much better story my life and yours as well see you soon or in a chair is ok but going on with the headlines and then the economic powers of iran and an impending oil sanctions a special interview just. well
