every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that russia and china will pay a price u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has once again lashed out at russia for what she sees best support for the ousted regime comments came less than a week after international powers agreed a peace plan for syria which did not support outside interference or fourth regime change quasi. we were told that his district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear. from here clashes still continue shelling and shooting in the syrian city of homes as the death toll continues to rise party brings you an exclusive report from the heart of the uprising. also wiki leaks fulfills

its promise to shed new light on the syrian conflict with the first batch of released e-mails proving to be damning not only for damascus but all the while millions more leaked files are still to come. rolling to have made germany responsible for gold bugs one hundred seventy two economists writes in an open letter to the childes look more in the business of twenty zero. zero. zero it's three pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on news and now with our top story in the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has lashed out at russia and china reiterating her claims that the two are supporting the also regime and that they must face consequences and. comments were made in paris where the members of the so-called

friends of syria are meeting this friday let's now get more details from marty's peter all over who is following this developing story peter friends of syria meeting not exactly sounding so friendly are they. well not sounding friendly at all really a vitriolic statement coming from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton directing a threat towards russia and china saying that they would pay a price for what she sees as they continued support of the assad government now hillary clinton went on to claim that russian helicopters were being used to kill civilians on the ground in syria and also accuse other nations of supplying weapons even chemical weapons to the syrian government now this is a far cry really from what we heard from washington just a week ago at a conference in geneva of international partners looking to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in syria where washington seemed to agree with the kofi annan botched plan that both sides in the conflict were to blame and they

say until both sides both the opposition forces and government treat lay down their weapons we couldn't really begin to find a peaceful solution now that has always been as well if policy on russia when it comes to the syrian conflict now in terms of the attack helicopters that hillary clinton has claimed that being used the russian attack helicopters that hillary clinton claims are being used to kill civilians. the russian foreign minister has said that it's not simply not the case that this there is a shipment of dismantled helicopters currently on its way from russia to syria by boat but that say those are helicopter parts it would take more than a month for them to be put together so they clearly can be being used to kill civilians out the moment as hillary clinton seems to be suggesting now also in terms of this shady foreign power that are providing chemical weapons hillary clinton not providing any names of countries. they're somewhat vague in her finger

pointing also not mentioning what this price that she says russia and china will have to pay so they say a vitriolic statement from the u.s. secretary of state but one really taking the for more of a rant at times than a considered political argument. artie's peter over by that update thanks for that . now it's selling continues in the syrian city of homs a un monitor admits the violence in the country has reached unprecedented levels during was reportedly the bloodiest month since the start of the uprising our correspondent mary if an ocean i heard heavy artillery herself as she toured the war and toward neighborhoods homes. this part of hundreds maybe back under syrian army control but their patrols never stop soldiers are searching house to house they're looking for terrorists or snipers but that's not what they usually find. some people in their homes became

their graves too and this room look human bones but at least one person. who seems to have been burnt to death. in the next house we find three more charts. activists claim up to eight hundred thousand people have been killed since the uprising began sixteen months ago the u.n. estimates around ten thousand we have no way of telling if these remains or others like them were even counted at. baba amr used to be home to one hundred thousand people now we're driving through area people have left military almost the only human beings left in this area this is you can see behind me this is a cemetery almost untouched actually while the rest of the city looks completely like the cemetery buildings schools mosques all in ruins and no sign of life while

many signs of this is one of the tallest buildings in the area and we can see from this balcony two completely different pictures two completely different realities look they're beautiful calm pictures peaceful city while over there well we can see war homes the opposition hotbed has always been at the heart of the uprising against president assad is a bad joke bomb that if you could have been the epicenter of the questions between the rebels and the army since it's been shelled heavily now so you can see it's quiet here but just steps away just meters away another district. and this is where the things are happening right now it's standing behind these raised strange rice quite safe but from time to time missiles reach this area to this is why would hurry up but was about another home see this street as you can see also almost completely destroyed everything shops building schools even mosques we were told

that this district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear not far from here questions still continue so we were actually told not to go any further i just simply dangerous. soldiers come to our location they tell us the rebels woke up so we leave. just a fifteen minute drive takes us to get another image of homes the people here aren't taking their bags at least the raw people here syria. there's no fight here we are living like one family. talking to this man at a coffee on the street full of people it's easy to forget this truck to night just a few blocks away. r t homs syria. a different take on the ongoing syrian conflict is now emerging from wiki leaks with just a few dozen out of the millions of the so-called syrian files published the group

promised to expose the west hypocrisy in dealing with damascus and it's starting to take shape my colleague current current iran she spoke to sarah firth who's following the developments in london. this is the biggest release since we had table gate which gave us the u.s. diplomatic cables and a really unique insight into the workings of the u.s. government now the syria files is even bigger than that it's supposed to be eight times bigger than the u.s. diplomatic table late in terms of documents and a hundred times bigger in terms of data now in the same way that we saw the u.s. diplomatic cables released a similar things going to be happening with the syria files wiki leaks have partnered up with different media organizations around the world and they go through the data and release this in small stages now so far from what's been released already we've had a very interesting insight into the workings because these are the e-mails that

were being exchanged between senior political figures in syria ministry figures corporations around the world the first e-mails that were released we showed that an italian company had been providing communications equipment to the syrian police and the syrian army know that contract is signed back in two thousand and eight when relations with the syrian regime were much stronger with the west it shows that the technical assistance with still being provided as late as february of this year you know clearly that company more than happy to continue providing that assistance even as the violence he claimed a huge number of lives in the country and so you know i think probably there's going to be a lot of very nervous companies around the world is going to be a lot of nervous members of the syrian government certainly as we once again has this major coup in providing us with you know a very unique glimpse of what is going on now what about julian assange know he's

been holed up in the door an embassy awaiting his solemn but answer has i haven't heard any comments from the chief whistleblower he did he released a comment three one of his spokesman sara harris and she said on his behalf that what. files waiting to do is not to embarrass one side or another it was aimed to give us really an understanding of what was going on and he said that it was only through understanding the culture that we'd be able to find some sort of resolution point it was from the man himself who is a cool at the moment is a very. in the ecuadorian embassy here in london still he thinks the best they get that it's this it's a sweden and again indeed the thoughts of the u.s. if he were to be sent to sweden. well the fact that the syrian files are making headlines despite all the criticism julian assange and wiki leaks have face proof of group significance so it's just one radek national security and human rights to rector at the government accountability project if these leaks were meaningless

fluff or not in the public interest in knowing cared no one would report on them and they would see julian assange djoser crackpot and no one would pay any attention to it the fact that they're being reported on inherently shows their worth despite the fact that credit card companies that chilled doll financial support to wiki leaks and he is holed up in the embassy disorganisation is continuing to function which is a testament to the by ability of weekly leaks as an organization especially at this time and i find all of this very interesting because it shows number one week the leaks is alive and well despite the best efforts of so many countries to shut it down and number two that as much as a mainstream media wants to distance itself from wiki leaks the syria files are the front page of every major newspaper in the world right now. we don't forget but we

give editor julian assange has been hosting his own interview program right here on our t.v. all twelve additions are available for you at our to talk home. i mean julian assange. it is true where he read where they expose the secrets he's talking it's just it's going to be an attack by the united states strongly condemn. it legally shoot five hundred days i've been detained without charge. that hasn't stopped. the day when the question really i can train so well tomorrow. russian lawmakers are set to vote on a bill which has already caused a public storm in the country under a drop of law all foreign funded noncommercial organizations and gauged in political activities should be branded foreign agents and should make their

finances more transparent but critics say could be used to crackdown on the opposition movement for more now let's cross live to our g.'s arena who is a human right now and following this session i mean that tell us more on why these activists are so opposed to making their finances transparent well this law is in this draft law is not even though week old and it has already been making waves all across the country particularly angering the human rights activists in that country now what is the slow about basically those who have the masterminds behind it are saying that it is absolutely necessary for russia it will increase the transparency of the noncommercial organizations will make their operations more clear and also if this is something which is direly needed in the country but also allowed to keep tabs on it of course this comes after some of the lawmakers within the state duma and some of the government officials have said that the. protests which have

sporadically been broke breaking out in the country in recent months have been doing so with the aid of some of the noncommercial organizations which in terms. have been financed by foreign organizations or for instincts and that is something which the lawmakers find in acceptable however human rights activists are saying that this is only going to increase the power of vertigo in the country that. holds already operating under very strict rules and they are also saying that this is also on constitutional because there are a lot of there is a specific chapter in the russian constitution which doesn't allow any citizen of the country to participate actively in the political life ever the proponents of this draft law are saying that it's necessary and they're also pointing out to the fact that the similar a law already exists in the united states of these so-called foreign agents. and

they're saying if a country which does proclaim itself to be democratic for example like the united states does if this sort of country has a similar law why shouldn't russia have it so these are the subjects of the discussions and a lot of controversy which are being looked at and being looked at in the state today right are arena go live with that update from the do my thanks for that. here's some stories worth checking out on our web site today at our dot com the fukushima power plant disaster may have been triggered by a tsunami as it was human error the the disaster unfolding also. got footage of a massive fire that raged in the russian capital find photos and videos of the blaze online. wealthy british sign off on its own time to. go to.

market why not. sooner. why don't was really happening to the global economy with mike stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't have time for is a big issue. here with r t live from moscow the pentagon will reportedly poor a major sell into

a new infrastructure for its military base at guantanamo bay and the u.s. government has repeatedly pledged to put an end to the controversial to tension facility that's based at the site and used to hold terrorist suspects right he's going to camp house for. forty million dollars will be spent to lay out this underwater fiber optic cable from south florida to cuba where the guantanamo bay prison camp is located the base commander said it only makes sense if we're going to be here for any period of time an infrastructure project like that may well suggest that the u.s. military is preparing for detentions and other operations at the guantanamo base for the long term when president obama was first running for office he pledged to shut down guantanamo in very strong terms in two thousand and nine he even signed an executive order to close it but not only did it not shut it down but the u.s. is obviously renovating guantanamo in this case by proving communications and the argument is you don't make such an investment to pick up and leave guantanamo has

made a black hole in america's human rights record indefinite detention torture around eight hundred people went through the camp within the last decade of america's war on terror the majority of them. had nothing to do with nine eleven that's according to a former chief prosecutor guantanamo now the prison houses one hundred sixty nine detainees the government says eighty nine aren't those threats but president obama and congress have blocked their release as for the rest some of them have a shot at a military hearing but forty six don't have that chance because the government says they can't be tried for one reason or another the u.s. supreme court keeps refusing to take up one tunnel detainees petitions what has been striking to me was that the u.s. prides itself on the rule of law and human rights but at the same time has denied you legal process to these detainees practice torture and not just think one possible but in secret prisons around the world human rights organizations have issued reports on all kinds of violations but to the u.s.

it's been like water off a duck's back. well later today we speak with british lawyer and university professor philip sands who says legal advisers practically gave a bleeder ship unlimited power to do anything they wanted a. number of the law is involved very soon your love had no real background in the subject of international law the protection of the right individual and were very ideological in their approach basically they saw their function as law is not be to give independent legal advice but to give the president the tools to do what he want to do that's not the function of a lawyer in any society in any democratic society. taking a look at some other news from across the globe riot police clashed with protesters in the powerful libya as they tried to clear encampments on the presidential palace

officers fired tear gas and water cannon to force people out they were palpably opposed to planned construction of a highway through nature reserve demonstrators walk for two months from their villages to the capital to reject the platen. nato supply drugs are in pakistan crossing the border into afghanistan it's the first convoy to do so since the route was reopened earlier this week is them about shut down the roadway last november following a u.s. airstrike that killed twenty four pakistani troops thousands protested the roots revival after u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton apologized for the incident a few days ago now the american drone strikes and pakistan's uploads tell me about support continued to strain relations between the two sides. but a nation once seen as the picture of poverty is now a hotspot for small business with a growing middle class people are coming from all over the world to find the brazilian dream artes you purpose cannot explain. violence and poverty just

some of the images that come to mind when thinking about brazil but in reality these stereotypes are much more dated than you might expect and friendship lives in rio only five years ago he and his partner were selling homemade bread on a bicycle and now with two popular cafes in rio and thirty six employees these two former school teachers but old are we to success or the story about the teacher. who tried to do something else he told me as a child. read for me it's very difficult. stories like this are becoming common in brazil especially in rio and son paulo in the last decade small private businesses have mushroomed all around since two thousand and three brazil's middle class grew by over thirty five million people starting from the also earn over

eleven hundred u.s. dollars per month in rio the poor districts or favelas are now called community since every year more of their residents become middle class people are earning borrowing and are definitely spending more cash things are certainly on the up but of course there is still a long way to go when it comes to things like closing the gap between rich and poor and bureaucracy if you are entering into a market in brazil your chances of success are huge go for it be prepared to fight in every stage of setting up and running your business. there is an expression that it's called the brazilian cost but maybe it's not as bad as it sounds the bureaucracy yet to be we know it's a shit man but that's the ending to it for brazil's economy is now the sixth largest in the world bypassing the u.k. and still growing more people are coming here from brawn to make their living not

only from other south. american countries but from europe also anyone now from north america to trade their chances of fulfilling increasingly the brazilian dream . or de rio de janeiro. time now for money knows i think in my day and you know any euro member thigh press afghan russia for a loan yes russia's finance minister says it's asked for five billion euro of the emergency talks on its struggling economy so this president this week justified turning to russia rather than the e.u. to say moscow's terms all cheaper and easier than brussels you can see officials had also visited china suggesting it was desperate to avoid an e.u. bailout which has imposed vicious spending cuts on other eurozone states slovakia's is an e.u. bailout colby ruled out of the fitch want to house one of the weakest banking markets in central and eastern europe and the country's finance minister i did a bailout will only be needed if the lenders problems get bigger. the persians from
