every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that russia and china will pay a price the us secretary of state takes a shot at moscow and beijing claiming that the two are supporting the syrian regime as the us spearheads a pro rebel gathering. we were told that this district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear nothing from here clashes continue a firsthand account from the hard syrian uprising an r.t. team goes to home to the scene of the fiercest fighting in the war torn country. and the pentagon lines guantanamo bay up for a multi-million dollar overhaul as critics say the promised closure of the scandal ridden facility who seems to have a moron like. hello

this is artsy live from moscow it's now eight pm here my name is kevin oh in the top story this hour 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 syrian rebels key supporters more on this now from artie's peter all of. or 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 he said that russian helicopters were being used to kill civilians on the ground in syria now if we look closer at this there are some really consistencies 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 the u.s. seemed to be on side with the kofi annan by police plan would see it would keep 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 or continue to support the assad government during the ongoing crisis in syria now with regards 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 be 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 delivering as they say a vitriolic statements more of a run to times than a considered political argument that she delivered in paris we drove out saw the foreign ministry there martin mccauley is a russian expert of the university of london is on the line with us now martin good evening thanks for being on our to international how justified do you think secretary clinton's comments are. i think that you become very very frustrated with russia and china and the shrewd nature of a common underlines that. the united states is in fact in a quite a weak position all it can do is to try and put pressure on the nose on russia and china and if you like try to shame them into doing something coming over to the

other side and supporting the people. but the united states has failed to do this she's failed to do that and she makes these accusations that russia should remember has been arming syria for the last fifty years it's nothing new and it's quite possible the russian government has had nothing to do with any russian army should have gone to syria it's possible that arms have left russia. gone to syria but they were not said by the russian government because there are various agencies in russia which might have acted in that way so therefore the united states knows that the assad regime is getting weapons it's getting weapons from various countries including including iran. just to name one and it's very well armed and not running out of arms and she's getting very very frustrated and hoping that russia will change i think deep down now with the defection of the general from the rich to god it means that the elite around it is cracking the alawite shia elite is

cracking but it might be a long time before the. minority lose control of syria most of all talk a little more about what's going on in syria the second i want to pick apart those words to mention today the actual phrasing as you talk about the consequences for russia and china or what could those consequences be. i find it very difficult to understand what the consequences would be because russia and china if you like superpowers the leading members there are in the security council have got a veto in the security council. their nuclear powers are sitting at the top table what can the united states to. you. use military force it can't use sanctions bill is going through congress on the vagrancy case perhaps that will be brought up but it's very difficult to see what the consequences would be the consequences they'd be minor things that some russian general can go to war chinese general convince that the united states are present and something like that but we're all minor

things i think clinton is accused to russia and china of hampering international efforts and finding a solution to this crisis no one else should be doing that. well what the americans would like to do is to come on side join one hundred countries and paris to say right we have to unite against the assad regime we have to make sure that it's getting their weapons isolated internationally so that. they come to the conclusion that the idea was put forward that. his family should move to moscow to do political asylum well that doesn't make any sense because if he's going to go into a political asylum iran is the obvious place for him and his family to go and he's not going to walk away because they are white minority in syria would face next essential threat if he delete left so therefore he's not going to do that he's going to stay there he's going to fight and the americans are getting more and more

frustrated as are the other arabs especially the free syrian army and so on they're getting very frustrated because they're getting arms from qatar saudi arabia the gulf states and so on so what you're looking at is a civil war between brewing up with arms coming in from both sides martin last final thought russia all the way along the line is that it isn't taking sides in the conflict it's call for dialogue without foreign military intervention why is washington interpreting that as overall support for the syrian regime. because they washington wants rid of assad they want regime change because the it's not really about syria it's about around and washington's main aim is through assad if they do that then syria falls and syria is no longer the. middle east and that changes the game in the middle east because that would cut off. the links between around direct links between iran and hezbollah in lebanon and so therefore the americans the the

end game is really test run it's not really damascus much mcauliffe thought rush for us but at the university of london i much appreciate it. thank you. the city of homs has reportedly suffered more deaths than any other syrian flashpoint. visits its battle scarred neighborhoods witnessing the ferocity on the streets of. this part of honey may be 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 grades too and this room look human bones or 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

bronson began sixteen. you're honest in ways around ten pounds we have no way of telling if these remains or others like them were even counted at all. bab amr 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 the city 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 real job amr if you could have been the epicenter of the clashes 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 and other districts sometimes 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 would hurry up. but was about another home save this search 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. so we leave. just a fifteen minute drive takes us to get another image of homs the people here aren't

taking their banks nice round people in syria. there's no fight here we're living like one family is talking to this man at a coffee on a street full of people it's easy to forget this truck tonight just a few blocks away. regional r.t. homs syria. another take on the syrian conflict this time from wiki leaks the whistleblowing group promises to cost more light over dealings between damascus and western companies after starting a massive release of secret e-mail exchanges. next the russian bill branded branding all foreign funded nonprofit organizations engaged in political activities as foreign agents has passed its first stage in parliament the idea is to make such groups finances more transparent but critics say could be used to attack the opposition movement is ridiculous because of the state duma for. 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 for in-state celebrating illegally they're also saying that they are already being tightly controlled when it comes to finances as it is and it would be a further control over their monetary sources will be installed or they will simply have no room to operate the masterminds behind it say that they have taken it almost word for word from the existing american law this so-called era foreign agents registration act which has been 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 that law is absolutely necessary and they believe that the n c o's 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 of these n.c.l. is 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 hopes of by the deputies in the state duma that it will be calm effective at the end of july pretty good central moscow for us on our websites my doxy don't comb. leak footage of an american helicopter pilot signaling merrily engineer this incinerates a group of families without health. the video starting fresh wave the road with u.s. troops in afghanistan more about online to go home post. the family of russian businessman

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 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 denied you legal process to these detainees practice for sure 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. go to our correspondent in washington there was also spoke with british lawyer professor philip sands who was involved in a number of high profile cases that came out of america's war on terror in about fifteen minutes tonight i can tell you 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 up the ante 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 misperceptions of suffocation and i was interested to find out how a country which has turned its back against torture could have moved to a dock these techniques of interrogation. more from professor philip sands in fifteen minutes. 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 hypocrisy in the west dealings with damascus more on this story today from our london correspondent sara firth. this is

the biggest release since we had cable 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 three the data and released 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 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 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 in it came to 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 call it 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 what these files were aiming to do is 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

a good. because it will be able to find some sort of rest of the. poignant words from the man himself who is the whole of the movement like he's a very. you were going to be hearing. the back they get better. and again in the thoughts of the u.s. if he were to be sent to sweden you know sort of furthur no wiki leaks significance is underlined by its ability to function and capture headlines despite a lack of funds and his chief says we had precarious situation most of you indeed have just lived rather the national security would rights direct threat of the government accountability project to the united states 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 wiki leaks as an organization especially at this time and i find all of this is 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 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. i don't forget of course the wiki leaks editor judy this has been hosting its own groundbreaking talk show right here on this channel twelve additions struan if you want to see them at r.t. dot com. it is true what you read where we expose the world secrets these documents belong united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemned.

stand western libya representatives will dominate parliament at the expense of the all rich east on thursday the main depo for election materials in the east was hit by a suspected arson attack. the big protests in northern pakistan over the reopening of a nato supply route the roadway was shut last november after a u.s. airstrike that killed twenty four pakistani troops not only reopened when america eventually apologized just a few days ago the first convoy crossed into afghanistan early friday with plans for all containers passing through to be scanned much of this is now coming up twenty four minutes past eight moscow time dimitri high the u.s. jobs market looking weak again year and markets depress not good news that's absolutely right for june nonfarm sector added just eighty eight thousand jobs in the united states well one hundred thousand was expected and therefore that's a third month of pretty much an amount of jobs growth and that's not not providing any optimism of course in the u.s.

economy is take a look at how the dow the nasdaq are reacting and indeed there's a lot of selling going on with the dow declining one and a half percent already and the nasdaq also following suit over in europe pretty much the same picture this is the closing picture actually puts you down half a percent of x. almost two percent so these worries about the state of the u.s. economy also worry coupled with new worries about spain its debt borrowing costs almost seven percent yet again which is a critical level and therefore we saw a lot of selling of there to that over in russia also a lot of selling of the r t s m i six directing more than other markets as they were outperforming them in the previous couple of sessions maybe before thursday there were four sessions in a row of steady strong growth now on the russian market so the main drivers were financials with the t.v. dropping four percent providing for

a lot of the pressure the downward pressure on the index gave b.p. russia's furred largest oil company was up point three percent now it's a russian share holders of. they could significantly increase their stake in the oil which is a fifty fifty joint venture with b.p. now the russian billionaires out for access were nova group or are they say they will officially offer to buy half of b.p.'s stake or twenty five percent gaining control in the company they will have seventy five percent if they proceed with the deal shareholders have been a long dispute over investment projects in russia namely an arctic exploration now on the currencies markets the euro is weakening very much against the dollar dropping a hundred thirteen points down below one point two three versus the greenback that's because of the selling pressure around the globe so investors really cashing out notes begin to the greenback and also in these worries about the european

economy and the rate rate card was not providing any in any support to the euro while the russian ruble dropped significantly against her parents in the session. and also in slovenia the e.u. bailout can't be ruled out after fitch warned it has one of the weakest banking markets in central and eastern europe but the country's finance minister added a bailout will only be needed if their lenders problems get bigger and one hundred seventy two thousand is written an open letter to the chancellor angela merkel saying she's open germany up to huge unknown debts other states by agreeing to a banking union this is michael dismiss the commerce fears she said that the union is quote first of all about banking supervision and that is urgently necessary so all these risks combined provide for a pessimistic picture of. oh
