good to have you with us here on our t.v. today i'm a live in moscow in syria gunmen have reportedly stormed the headquarters of a pro-government news channel killing at least three this comes after the country's president called on his newly sworn in ministers to do everything in their power to win what he calls an ongoing war of course while the maria phenomenon has the latest from the syrian capital. 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 a 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 activists have laid to colditz in the poorest 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 hearing 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 well we been hearing from u.n. special own envoy kofi annan has 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 trying to hammer out a new approach to 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 all 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 contact group on series called friends of syria but the problem with this group is that they've they've only been dealing always with the rebels not 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. for national reporting right well i mean time are radical islamists are reportedly becoming more active in syria and other arab countries and the head of the british m i five says the trend is a direct result of the arab spring which the u.s. and its allies supported meantime peace activist dr franklin lamb says nato policies are in fact provoking and stimulating al-qaeda. my point is why be even exist. you know to dignity and to overthrow some dictators but when you've got an

operation like nato all 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 leadership and surge of people to go to syria and get training in gold tooth southern turkey and also in libya libya has become a major training center and i thought that is a fact and i would quickly with some of the rebel militia against gadhafi but you say one al qaeda fighter is worth ten of us. watching on t.v. just a few minutes ahead for you on the program that have an inconvenient truth we have more now b.b.c. journalists delivered florida reports in their pursuit of a bigger story all covering revolutions in the arab world.

a new tit for tat between russia and the u.s. has been instigated by an american senate committee billed unanimously approved in washington on tuesday slaps sanctions and visa restrictions on russian officials accused of alleged human rights abuses the new measure is in reaction to the death of a russian accountant sort of gave magnitsky he was detained in two thousand and eight on charges of helping a british investment fund carry out attacks evasion worth two hundred million dollars his death in a prison hospital triggered accusations of serious mistreatment with the president ordering two investigations it was later confirmed that michael died because he was denied medical help meanwhile the u.s. 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 with more on this we turn to our tease guy in a chicken. 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 of 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 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 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 putin called deaths in prison a tragedy it's being investigated by russian authorities. 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 in iraq of gamester and 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 commandment in order to give american businesses have 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. and political

consultant daniel wagner thinks 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 it's good to have you with us this is still to come for you in the program radicalism takes

a pretty big hold of europe is the ideas spread as fast as those opposing them as government struggle to understand which sentiment poses a threat. not exactly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow where the b.b.c. has acknowledged that it's journalists got carried away in covering the arab spring and that excitement affect what's supposed to be professional new trying to see a softer report was released suggesting the u.k.'s leading news broadcaster was not accurate enough in its assessment of the revolutions that accuse the organization of being slow to highlight human rights abuses by rebel factions in the libyan war and under estimating the violent nature of the syrian uprising as it began it also says the b.b.c. failed to deliver rushers on china's positions on events unfolding in the middle east and north africa t.j. walker c 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 to get its. 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 the stamp down so doesn't mean it was good journalistic decision but that is that is reality when it comes to major networks because 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. of course for more news and videos twenty four

find is raging in europe at the moment we're seeing an ongoing battle of ideologies people pushing the boundaries of freedom of speech with islamic rhetoric was at the same time extremists are being expressed under the banner of freedom of religion this ongoing struggle is overshadowing a much more serious problem itself radicalization the growing number of young europeans see the threat it is the young unemployed who are told and shown repeatedly you're not really one of us it doesn't even matter if you've been born here but if they have not been integrated and those will be millions coupled with the religious. valve relief. which shows you. actually your brother's abroad being mutilated blown up or killed by exactly the people where you live why i'm going to terrorists remarry actually

a small part of the global threat they have a disproportionate impact is that possible carrying citizens who understand the countries they live in have good connections they're easy access to information investigative journalist and nearby as being closely following the rise of fundamentalist websites are many not only muslim but. have sympathy with turner and beloved and this is even such hate to radicalism and radicalism to terrorism but it's not just radical muslims his views have been carefully monitored the rise of anti islamic sentiment in the west has also been steadily growing what i really really have a problem with is this third totalitarianism called islam you have lots of them which we have to see that you have communism which is more or less defeated on the

third one is. the danger of these by radical anti immigrant thinking is the tragically demonstrated in the rethink attacked by anders behring braving it in norway with increasingly and he is learning rhetoric coming not just from controversial speakers the from the european politicians questions are now being asked about just how responsible he's really are and in the war of ideologies in europe right now it's become hard to know just who it is that jews is the greatest terrorist threats. or simmering assume for the business for another story to iraq to open up the r.t. . twin bombings have killed eight and injured nineteen others in the country of the first blast went off outside a house belonging to a shia family in a backyard suburb a second explosion came minutes later as neighbors were gathered at the scene more than one hundred forty in iraq have been killed just in this month as attacks

way in about an hour and ten minutes from now. but for now the london olympics are just one month away but the city's security operations are coming under attack thousands of weapon 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 olympic park because basic security there isn't up to par this reporter artie's laura smith. 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 missile 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 the olympics this 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 me the whole thousand soldiers but insiders are saying basic security here at the olympic park is seriously lacking investigative journalist lee hazeldean is undercover 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 a fake i.e.d.

the gun was in my bag preserve didn't see it it is a good several times he still didn't find it he got behind one and did the handle and it didn't go off he hadn't turned on lisa 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 the people you know come to visit london. to be absolutely confident we're going to be safe and secure and you'll go security and 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 round of ammunition gets through by one person and fifty people go through different piers

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 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 laura smith london. and as promised are going over to marina now for the ali good to see you again but i understand there's a new report claims that there will be nine million job vacancies in russia in a decade's time not enough people to fill them it's not all doom and gloom or can you possibly find a silver lining there is a silver lining salaries will go. for those who do manage to fill those vacancies they'll be getting a lot of money and that's of course great well i'll talk about that a little bit later first let's start with the markets and see how traders are

feeling what they're thinking what's happening basically on the markets with the footsie and that's our add in there from strength to strength every banking stocks and drug makers are among the top gainers but investors are mainly waiting to see what will happen when there is need for their summit on thursday when other will be discussing a firmer fiscal integration as well as this of a banking union will of course be following happened when i was like a look at current citizens what's happened over the euro. when the car was flat against the u.s. dollar as you can see with all those zeros there when it comes to the ruble it's the loosen against both major currencies now let's take a look at the russian markets we're traveling today and basically we see that the r.t.s. is at it over one percent similarly with my six m. investors there are tracking gains that we saw on wall street asia and now of course europe take a look at crude prices always very important for the russian economy we see that there is still

a mix right now by lines with this still trading below eighty dollars per barrel of light sweet one fifth of its value since january of course not helping to boost investors' confidence especially here in russia but of course it's not only crude that is going through difficult times right now aluminum prices have decreased twenty percent since they reached their peak this year and this was in february now we spoke to the c.e.o. of alcoa one of the world's top aluminum producers and he said there is no reason to panic because the mad or no fade for the metal. twenty percent price decline is painful at the same time. it's gross we've seen ten percent. growth year we project seven percent. we've seen that physic is very very strong a few want to. you would have to buy a physical delivery premium physically to deliver a premium. story you have to put these things together the whole.

very strongly by the discussion around europe going to be valid it's all washed 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 industry. and i'm very optimistic that this is also want to play well in the russian market. and other news according to the latest forecast russia will be the perfect place to find in the next couple of years that's because according to wealth management the vision of bank of america that's merrill lynch nine the many vacancies it will be opened up here and there will be up for grabs and. now this is all because the country is experiencing a demographic problem and that is the fact that there aren't enough people available to replace the workforce in the country the banks and allies expect local

employers to raise salaries by roughly six and a half percent per year and that's to prevent their employees from looking for another job and by twenty twenty this could more than double the average salary in the country merrill lynch also expects russia to keep raising taxes due to increasing social spending. and standard and poor's had a nice surprise in store for russia this time around that raised the constant short term foreign currency rating to a new the agency said the country's outlook is stable and i quote here according to the vulnerability of the budget and the call in the mood to fluctuations in the export prices are offset by low government debt levels and the constant slide let's accept the last of possession so there you have it finally some optimism coming from me henri took long enough right now thanks very much. back to the headlines in a moment here on out to produce

a with us after that period of well crosstalk. culture

is that so much of an oldish musician has the power to find the part where the downing of a turkish military jet by syria may prove to be the tipping point allowing nato to force regime change in damascus the. machine would be soo much brighter if you knew all about sound from phones.
