every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that russia and china will pay a price u.s. secretary of state takes a shot at moscow and beijing claiming the other two are supporting the syrian regime after the u.s. spearhead a programable gathering. we were told that this district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear that not far from here questions to continue. a firsthand account from the heart of the syrian uprising in our team goes to homes the scene of the fiercest fighting in the war torn country. plus the pentagon mind kuantan a mowbray out for a multimillion dollar overhaul as critics say a promise closer to the scandal when facility seems ever more on my plate.

and russia lawmakers voted in a bill to name noncommercial groups funded from abroad as foreign agents a move opposition parties say could be used to crackdown on. live from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said now way it's good to have you with us our top story america's chief diplomat is threatening russia and china with consequences for what she sees as siding with the regime in syria hillary clinton was speaking at a paris conference of the syrian rebels key supporters more on this from archies peter all of. what we've heard a victory only could dress from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton directing a threat towards russia. sure in china saying that they would have to pay

a price for what she sees as their support of the assad government and now this wasn't the only thing that hillary could not to say gels he said that russian helicopters were being used to kill civilians on the ground in syria though if we look closer at this there are some really inconsistency between where we were a week ago following the conference in geneva of international partners looking to you to find a peaceful solution to syria and what we're hearing this weekend now last weekend in geneva like the u.s. seem to be very own side with the kofi annan by at least plan would see it would keep on which would see both sides both the opposition on the government forces lay down their weapons and trying to come to the table to find a solution now then what we've heard from russia with regards to these statements we've heard from hillary clinton today is the foreign ministry slamming in the secretary of state saying that under no circumstances one hundred russia ever supported or continue to support the assad government during the ongoing crisis in

syria now with regard to those helicopters as well we've also heard from the foreign ministry saying that that just simply wasn't the case that yes there were a there is i beg your pardon a shipment of dismantled helicopters currently on its way from russia to syria however that once they arrived in syria that would take at least a month for them to be put together to be assembled so they clearly would being used right now for the purposes which mrs clinton is suggested so yes it seems they very inconsistent approach a very different approach from the u.s. secretary of state it delivering as they say a vitriolic statements more of a run to times than a considered political argument that she delivered in paris. editor of the independent news and information website the corba report james corbett says the u.s. should be more careful with its statements. well they are just words but given that they are diplomats stock and trade are words that's

a pretty serious game of one upmanship that clinton seems to be playing right now and that's that's a pretty heated comment to make especially in the midst of an international crisis like this and i suppose the upside for those who are opposed to to united states unilateral action around the globe and i suppose the downside for people who are in favor of that is that it seems that the u.s. isn't really able to transfer those words into actions by themselves so i think tellingly clinton also went on to call for the sixty other nations in the so-called friends of syria group to to join in on the action and to make sure that russia and china understand that they will feel some sort of blowback from their actions in syria which i think indicates that really the u.s. doesn't have much diplomatic leverage to use directly against russia and china all they can do is try to convince other nations to to reduce trade etc so so at this point it's very unlikely that these actions these words will directly translate into u.s. action of some sort but but it is i think a very dangerous game for the u.s. to be playing to to make such politically explosive statements in the midst of an

international crisis. the city of homs has reportedly suffered more deaths than any other syrian flashpoint for days we have a notion of visit its battle scarred neighborhoods witnessing the prophecy on the streets. this part of hundreds maybe back on to survey nomic and chel pathetic shells never stop soldiers a search chain house to house they're looking for terrorists or snipers but that's not what they usually find. some people and they have become their grades too and this royal oak human bones or at least one person. who seems to have been burnt to death. and the next house we find three more charts call's. 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 the city cemetery almost untouched actually while the rest of the city looks completely like a 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 was

a badge of baba amr if you could have been the epicenter of the clashes between the rebels and the army once it's been shelled heavily now so you can see it's quiet here but just steps away just meters away another district sometimes 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 homestay district 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 yet another image of homes the people here

aren't packing 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 cafe on a street full of people it's easy to forget this truck to night man just a few blocks away. regional she asked t. homs syria. calls for u.s. security council action which may include military intervention into syria are growing louder outside the country but there's deep resentment to that from people within the country as political analyst while the al-khateeb told us from to mass has the vast majority of the people that we talk to in the street in the intellectuals that we speak to this is nobody wants to see. libya type or. third type military intervention in syria i think syrians are extremely protective

of their territory this is a country that has for since its creation in the twentieth century has been facing constant wars in the neighborhood people do not want to see foreign troops on their ground under any reason now i'm not sure the there are voices that call for the stop of intervention but i think nobody can make the claim that this represents even a significant minority within the syrian population. another take of the syrian conflict this time from wiki leaks the whistleblowing group promises to count more light on dealings between damascus and western companies after starting a massive release of secret e-mail exchanges. russian lawmakers have voted in a law branding all foreign funded noncommercial organizations and gauged in political activities as foreign agents the idea is to make such groups finances

more transparent but critics say it could be used to attack the opposition movement . now joins us live from the state too much of is following the session arena tell us more on why these activists are so opposed to making their finances transparent . well first of all they're opposed to the use of the word agent itself they're saying that this makes them sound as if they're spies for foreign states a parading illegally in russia they're also saying that the if they if more screws are tightening around it they find on the financing off their operations in the country they will actually have no room to breathe and they believe this is just another way for the government to exert its so-called vertical of power which they believe is already too strong and despite the fact that the masterminds behind this law say that they have taken it almost word for word from the existing american laws the. the foreign agents registration act from the one nine hundred thirty s.

must still the opponents of the act say that it's on democratic and it's non-constitutional now the proponents of people who actually believe that this laws should be in existence and that's a majority of the deputies in the state duma they say that of course the law is still very broad they will still be working on it extensively but first and foremost this law was russia's interest as hard because they believe if the organizations which are considered to be n c o's are being financed from abroad and still meddling in russia's politics this is akin to a foreign power meddling in russia's internal political interests which they believe is unacceptable. right artie's or in a go blue sky reporting live from central moscow thanks for that. well look now at some other stories we think are worth checking out on our website today at our t.v. dot com we've got leaked footage of that american helicopter pilot singing merrily as he incinerates a group of farmers with a hellfire missile video started

a fresh wave up or over u.s. troops in afghanistan. also smoke but no fire british police block a major highway and searched bus passengers at gunpoint after an electronic cigarette sparked a terror alarm. and a very real fire in the north of moscow helicopters called in to extinguish the blaze i didn't air force academy hangar you've got photos and video for you at our t.v. dot com. america's notorious kuantan m o detention facility cuba is now set for a major renovation the pentagon's reportedly finalizing upgrades including undersea cables and state of the art military equipment that's despite pledges pledges by

barack obama to close the prison which many see as a place to keep undesirables that can't be prosecuted locked up the details for marty's going to camp. 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 improving 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 detainee's 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 the night to legal process to these detainees practice torture and not just the one tunnel 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. us lawyer erik juan pablo secured the release of

a guantanamo inmate he believes the facilities looming overhaul exemplifies the dick's connection between political promises and actual policy. we have people that are being detained without due process without hearings which is antithetical to anything that america stands for on one hand you know we're closing the base but on the other hand we're crafting a state of the art you know penal institutions in the united states you're saying one thing and doing the complete opposite so i think it's a lack of integrity on our government i think we need to evaluate you know why we're spending millions upon millions of dollars on something that should not even be there in the first place. and british lawyer professor philip sounds who was involved in a number of high profile cases that came out of america's war on terror and at sixteen hundred g.m.t. he tells us some of the torture techniques approved by the bush administration.

they adopted in the autumn of two thousand and two in the u.s. department of defense a series of eighteen to interrogation arranged in three groups and the first group was. screaming. the second group. so to speak and included sleep deprivation the use of dogs to induce for the. eye and then count to three the worst of all included waterboarding and the use of water to induce misperceptions of suffocation and i was interested to find out how a country which has turned its back against torture could have moved to adopt these techniques of interrogation. we could least hopes to shed more light on the syrian conflict after it started releasing the so-called syria files millions of leaked e-mails supposedly expose

have parker see in the west dealings with damascus more on this from our correspondent in london sorry for. 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 communication with 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 say you know clearly that company more than happy to continue providing that assistance even as the violence he claimed a huge number of lies 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 julian assange to release a comment three one of his spokesman sara harrison she said on his behalf that what

these files were aiming to do was not to embarrass or critique one side or another it was aimed to give us really an understanding of what was going on and. and he says that that is any true understanding the cold that we'd be able to find some sort of rest of the. poignant words from the man himself who is of course at the moment like he's a very. in the ecuadorian embassy here in london so he thinks the back they get that it's this is the swedish and again indeed the thoughts of the u.s. if he were to be sent to sweden wiki leaks significance is underlined by its ability to function and capture headlines despite a lack of funds and its chief's precarious situation that's the view of justin radek the national security and human rights director of the government accountability project in the us. 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 that he is holed up in the embassy this organization 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 weekly leaks is alive and well despite the best efforts of so many countries to shut it down and number two that as much as the 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 don't forget wiki leaks senator julian assange has been hosting his groundbreaking talk show here on archie you can watch all twelve episodes of archie dot com. julian assange.

it is true for three weeks is the secret these documents belong in the united states government being attacked by the united states can down the court after. illegally shoots five hundred days being detained without charge. hasn't stopped. the day we want to quit really. can change the world tomorrow. a look now at some other stories from around the world portugal's constitutional court has struck down the government's latest thirty packages unlawful it said cuts to pensioner and public worker bonuses and vacations could go ahead as they promoted inequality it's a harsh book out of the government's austerity program and is likely to mean deeper cuts elsewhere was given a seventy eight billion euro bailout from the e.u.

last year to save it from bankruptcy. armed gunmen have forced three oriel terminals in eastern libya to halt production that's ahead of the first post gadhafi parliamentary election on saturday there had been threats to sabotage the poll from a movement demanding that elected seats be more equally allocated as things stand western libya representatives will dominate part of the mint at the expense of the oil rich east on thursday the main depot for election materials in the east was hit by a suspected arson attack. and they were going protest in northern pakistan over the reopening of a nato supply route through the country earlier this week the roadway were shot last november following the u.s. airstrike that killed twenty four pakistani troops and only reopened when america eventually apologized a few days ago the first convoy crossed into afghanistan early friday with plans for all painters it wasn't true. yes. to me this year now with the

latest business news and the markets are all down what's happening out there well basically u.s. farm sector payrolls of come in a worse than expected years sector added eighty thousand jobs in the previous month while hundred thousand was expected well therefore we're seeing the u.s. markets tumbling this hour with the dow jones declining more than one percent nasdaq is also actually declining although the arrows pointing green is supposed to be red we apologize for that in europe we're seeing pretty much the same picture the footsie and the decks are down half a percent to one point four percent saying disappointment about the global growth picture coupled with that debt costs in spain climbing up two to seven percent just just below that and that's very dangerous of course level so spanish banks like the b.v.a. are down more than five percent this. over here in russia where within several

minutes of the closing bell of the r.t.s. is that more than two percent as you can see same worries plus a technical sell off also on the back of very strong performance in the previous sessions we're seeing second the second consecutive day of selling in russia now on the stock market financials in line with the global trend down and worryingly down four point three percent and one of the actually best performing stocks doing much better than the market is oil majors now the russian shareholders. may soon significantly increase their stake to around seventy five percent in the oil firm which is right now owns fifty fifty between the russian billionaire self accessor nova group and b.p. so they are says it will officially offer to buy half of b.p. stake the twenty five percent thus it will receive control if it manages to buy

that stake shareholders have been a long dispute over investment projects in russia namely arctic exploration and the north stream gas pipeline. on the currencies market the europe continues dropping versus the dollar this is profiled even more after the. non-farm payrolls data that we've just received because investors are cashing out into the greenback notably and the russian ruble in line with that trend is declining twenty four x. versus the dollar and slightly versus the year. now slovenia says the e.u. bailout cannot be ruled out and that's after fitch warned has one of the weakest banking markets in central and eastern europe and the country's finance minister added a bailout will only be needed if the lenders problems get bigger. and one hundred seventy two economists have written an open letter to german chancellor angela merkel saying she's open germany up to huge unknown debts in other e.u.
