he starts on t.v. don't call. every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that russia and china will pay a price u.s. secretary of state texas shot at moscow and beijing claiming the two were supporting the syrian regime as the us spearheads a programmable gathering. we were told that this district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear it's not a problem here questions still continue a firsthand account from the heart of the syrian uprising r t team goes to the scene of the fiercest fighting in the war torn country. the president on mines kuantan a whole day out for a multimillion dollar overhaul its critics say the promise closure of the scandal

ridden facility seems ever more unlikely. a weak u.s. jobs report sends the markets down across the globe with russia no exception i'll tell you more about that and what you know. it's seven pm here in moscow this is archie coming to you live on news to now with our top story this evening 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 the paris conference of the syrian rebels key supporters more on this now from archies peter all over. well you heard it vitriolic address from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton directing a threat towards russia and china saying that they would have to pay a price for what she sees as their support of the assad government you know this

wasn't the only thing that hillary clinton 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 to us seem to be one side with the kofi annan but police plan would see peace plan 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 all 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 it 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 a corporate report says the u.s. should be more careful with statements. well they are just words but given that the 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 two u.e. 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 evil to transfer the 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 of 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 action leaves 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 homes has reportedly suffered more deaths than any

other serious flashpoint area or days may offend those who have visited battle scarred neighborhoods witnessing the ferocity on the streets. this part of hundreds maybe back on the syrian army can chill with it but 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 from the local human bones or at least one person. who seems to have been burnt to death. and the next house we find three more charts colace. 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. the bomber used to be home to one hundred thousand people now we're driving through ghost area people have left military almost the only human beings left in this area this is he 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 there beautiful 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 misses away another district. and this is where the things are happening right now it's standing behind these rays strange rays quite safe but from time to time missiles reach this area to this is why we'd better hurry up. but with the bar in other homes the district as you can see also most 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 it's not far from here questions still continue so we were actually told not to go any further i would simply dangerous soldiers come to our location they tell us the rebels woke up so we leave. just to see fifteen minute drive takes us to get another image of homes the people here and taking their bags at least the raw people here see the. there is no fight here we are living like one family.

talking to this man at a coffee on a street full of people it's easy to forget the truck to night just a few blocks away. regional. homs syria. but calls for u.n. 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. told us from damascus. the vast majority of the people that we talk to in the street and the intellectuals that we speak to this is nobody wants to see. libya die or you go there if you go syria 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 naturally there are voices that call for destructive intervention but i think nobody can make the claim that this represents even a significant minority within the syrian population. and on their take on the syrian conflict this time from wiki leaks the whistle blowing group promises the council more light on dealings between damascus and western companies that are starting a massive relief secretly exchanges. last one seen as a land of poverty but now land of plenty for foreign entrepreneurs back into south america in search of the brazilian dream that's coming up. first a russian built branding all foreign funded noncommercial organizations in gauged in political activities as foreign agents has passed its first stage and part of it

the idea is to make such groups finances more transparent but critics say it could be used to attack the opposition movement. is at the state duma for us. the opponents of this law first and foremost have a problem with the word agent itself they say that it has a very negative connotation and makes it sound as if the n.c.o. is operating in russia are actually spies us foreign state celebrating illegally they're also saying that they are already being tightly controlled when it comes to finances as it is and with a further control over their monetary sources will be installed that they will simply have no room to operate and of course they're also saying that the government is only doing this in order to in the increase it's a so-called a vertical of power which they believe is too strong already when it comes to and seals and n.g.o.s and they're calling the signal this draft law and a i don't constitutional and undemocratic law despite the fact that the masterminds behind it

say that they have taken it almost word for word from the existing american law this cell called terra foreign agents registration act which has been in existence from the one nine hundred thirty s. and nobody seems to be bothered by it now the proponents of the law say that this law is absolutely vital for russia i guess they say we are admitting the fact that it's still very raw and it still needs to be worked on but that's exactly what we're doing here in the state duma but they say the law is absolutely necessary and they believe that the n.c.o. is which do which do get financing from abroad may be meddling in russia's internal politics and that is something that's unacceptable not just for russia but for any country they're also saying that their main aim of course is to make the operation all of these and ceo's more transparent and they're really not putting any any more pressure on they're going to say sions basically it's up to an organization itself to register or not to register itself as a foreign agent of course the law will be undergoing more amendments and

discussions but it is hoped of by the deputies in the state duma that it will it be come effective at the end of july. there are some other stories we think are worth checking out on our website or. dot com. got leaked footage of an american helicopter pilot that you're heard there singing nearly as the incinerates a group of farmers with a hellfire missile video starting a fresh wave of uproar over u.s. troops in afghanistan. and smoke but no fire british police blocked a major highway and searched bus passengers at gunpoint after an electronic cigarette sparks a terror alarm. when

are because notorious kuantan m o detention facility in cuba is now set for a major renovation the pentagon's reportedly finalizing upgrades including undersea cables and state of the military equipment that's despite pledges by barack obama to close the prison which many see as a place to keep undesirables they can't be prosecuted locked up the details for marty's. 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 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 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 denied

you legal process to these detainees practice and not just the one possible but in secret prisons around the world human rights organizations that they should report on all kinds of violations but to the u.s. it's been like water off a duck's back. well r.j. also spoke with 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 the next hour he details 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 techniques of interrogation arranged in three groups and the first group was you know shouting and screaming. the second group. so to speak and included sleep deprivation the use of dogs to induce fear. and then category three the worst of all included waterboarding the use of water to

induce this perceptions 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. wiki leaks 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 apocrypha see in the west dealings with damascus more on this from our correspondent in london sarah ferguson. 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 its thought 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 say 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 julian assange to release a comment three one of his spokesman sara harris and 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 he said that it was anything. understanding the culture that we've been able to find some sort of rest of the sea of poignant words from the man himself who is of course at the moment like he's a very. he's in the ecuadorian embassy here in london as he seeks the baths 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. we could leave significance was underlined by its

ability to function and capture headlines despite a lack of funds and its choose precarious situation that's if you have just been radek the national security and human rights to rector the government accountability project in the us. if these leaks were meaningless fluff or not in the public interest and 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 choked off 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 we keep 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 there's syria files are the front page of every major newspaper in the world right now. and over again but we have these editor himself julian assad has been hosting his groundbreaking talk show right here on our t.v. and you can watch all twelve edition at our dot com. i'm julian assange. editor of wiki leaks expose the world secrets these documents belong the united states government being attacked by the powerful united states strongly condemn the said quote after quote he broke the law illegally shoot five hundred days now i've been detained without charge but that doesn't stop this guy. today we're on a quest for revolutionary ideas that can change the world tomorrow. a

look now at some other top stories from around the world portugal's constitutional court has struck down the government's latest austerity packages on lawful and said cuts to pensioner and public worker bonuses and vacations could go ahead as they promoted inequality is a harsh blow to the government's austerity program and is likely to mean deeper cuts elsewhere portugal was given seventy eight billion euro bailout from the e.u. last year to save it from bankruptcy. farm gunmen have forced three oil terminals in eastern libya to help production out of the first post gadaffi parliamentary election on saturday there had been threats to sabotage the polling movement demanding that i'd like to see more equally allocated as things stand western libya representatives will dominate the parliament 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 there have been protests in northern pakistan

over the reopening of nato supply routes through the country earlier this week the road was shot last november from the way in a 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 containers passing through to be scrambled. now entrepreneurs' flock to where the money is and that now includes a country that until relatively recently was struggling with a reputation for crime and poverty which is your position or has more on the europeans and americans in search of the brazilian dream. violence and poverty just some of the images that come to mind when thinking about brazil but in reality these stereotypes are much more well 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 have battled their way to success but the story about the teacher. who tried to do something else he told me to. read for me it's very difficult the 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's 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 red tape 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 head to the. station man but that he any day before brazil's economy is now the sixth largest in the world bypassing the u.k. and still growing more people are coming here from iran to make their living not only from other side. so american countries but from europe also even now from north america to trade their chances of fulfilling the scene creasing we the brazilian dream. or de rio de janeiro. we do now joins us with the business news so it's all red around the world this hour isn't it on the market

absolutely right that's after a disappointing jobs report i would need knighted states when the non-farm sector added just eighty thousand jobs last month when one hundred thousand was expected and therefore the reaction we're seeing is indeed a sell off with the dow jones and nasdaq declining now more than more than one percent as far as i can remember yes that's right as they still pointing green the supposed to be red we apologize yet again in europe we're seeing pretty much the same picture with the footsie and the dax declining half a percent and one and a half percent this hour that's also on the back of borrowing costs for spain climbing to around seven percent just within breathing distance of that crucial market when the risk of default becomes so much larger and over over in russia we're also seeing the same picture with the r t s m i six now closed at two point two down and one and a half percent down now on the m i six financials were following the global trend

they were down more than four percent for the t.v. for example one of the few companies which managed to pull off gains was the t m k v p one third of a percent in positive territory and that's on the back of shareholders russian shareholders they could significantly increase their stake in the oil which is a fifty fifty joint venture between russia and b.p. basically the russian billionaires alpha axis run over group or a says it will officially offer to buy half of b.p.'s stake or twenty five percent that's gaining control over the company the shareholders have been the longest over investment projects in russia namely in arctic exploration and. the north stream gas pipeline. over the county's market the euro continues dropping versus the dollar as we are seeing how global sell off and therefore investors are moving into cash in the greenback while the russian ruble or so we can do against both currencies but more against the dollar than against the euro so i was in line. for

the near says you bail out can't be ruled out after fitch warned it has one of the weakest banking markets in central and eastern europe the country's finance minister added a bailout will only be needed if the lenders problems get big. and one hundred seventy two economists have written an open letter to chancellor angela merkel saying she's open germany up to huge unknown debts in other e.u. states by agreeing a bank. this is merkel dismissed the economist fears she said the union is first of all about better banking supervision and that is urgently necessary that's what i have for you the. thanks that. coming up peter the valen his gasp are over the conflict in sudan and cross talk but first a recap of our top stories just after this.
