he's startup t.v. dot com. every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that russia and china will pay a price. of steak takes a shot at moscow and beijing claiming that the two were supporting the soviet regime as the us spearhead so pro-rebel gathered. we were told that this district was cleaned from turkey months ago but as you can hear not far from here clashes took unclear a firsthand account from the hard syrian uprising and our team goes to homs to see the fierce fighting in the war torn country. and a pentagon line. for a multi-billion dollar overhaul is critics say the promised closure of the scandal ridden facility seems ever more unlikely.

hello this is r t thanks for choosing us it's eleven pm now moscow time first of all america's chief diplomat 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 artie's people 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 she was 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 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 the u.s. seemed to be on 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 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 russian expert martha macauley from the university of london says american threats highly unlikely to materialise. i think that you have become very very frustrated with russia and china and the true nature of a commons in fact 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 you know 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 by russia one should remember has been arming syria for the last fifty years it's nothing new russia and china if you like superpower as the leading member there are in the security council have got a veto in the security council there are the nuclear powers there and sitting at the top table what can the united states do. you use military force if you sanctions it's very difficult to see what the consequences will be the consequences maybe minor things that some russian general can go to or chinese general convert you know state or present and something like that but they're all minor things. the time the city of homs has reportedly suffered more deaths than any other syrian flashpoint area. visits its battle scarred neighborhoods witnessing the ferocity on the street. this part of hundreds may be back

under syrian army control but their trials never stop soldiers are searching house to house they're looking for terrorists or snipers that's not what they usually find. some people or the homes became their grades too and this room look human bones but at least one person. who seems to have been burnt to death. and the next house we find three more charts. activists claim up to eight hundred thousand people have been killed across and began sixteen. year honestly ways around ten times 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 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 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 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 midges away. from crimea and this is where the things are happening right now it's standing behind these razed strange rice quite safe but from time to time missiles reach this area too this is why would

a hurry up. but the bar in other homes the district as you can see also almost completely destroyed everything shops buildings 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 just simply dangerous soldiers come to our location tell us the rebels woke up so when the. regional party homs syria. well the hope for a better life once the conflict over in libya hopes quickly dying off now attacks on electoral offices and officials spread on the eve of the country's first election after century the oil rich east convinced that it deserves a bigger voice for the reform. russian bill 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 it could be used to attack the opposition movement. for artie's at the state duma. 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 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 with a further control over their monetary our sources will be installed that 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 the 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.o. 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 helps a by the deputies in the state duma that it will be come effective at the end of july. but a website called tonight. the footage of an american helicopter pilot singing merrily it seems is in cigarettes

a group of families with a hellfire missile the video starting a fresh wave of uproar over u.s. troops in afghanistan. and the family of russian businessman vic to boot petition. and for him to be returned home from the united states where he's currently jailed for conspiring to kill american. international criminal court officials jailed in libya from most of months say there's no chance gadhafi son saif al islam will get a fair trial the representatives for free just days ago ahead of the country's parliamentary elections tomorrow but the leader after seeing bloody sectarian clashes with hundreds dead as one former rebel commander vows to prevent people from voting let's get more with a political scientist and journalist who could run down her thoughts now she's

joining us on the line from london either a number of analysts say libya's government is using saif gadhafi on the standoff with the i.c.c. as a distraction to keep libyans united around the interim leadership the m.t.c. and give it credibility when you think about that. well i think it's a real concern that safe gadhafi will not be able to face a fair trial in libya and that's very obvious to any observer of course libya hasn't been a stable country since the removal of movement of gadhafi for all obvious reasons it's very obvious to anybody following the situation in libya that it is not a country that is able to offer you know a fair trial to save gadhafi for the very reasons that he doesn't have the structures to do so and the latest developments involving an i.c.c. lawyer being detained in jail is in libya proves that so i don't believe it is

a distraction but i believe it's a very serious a problem that the international community should get involved in to guarantee that safe gadhafi who is allegedly in prison for the moment and on faces a trial for war crimes should look at this situation very seriously indeed because time elections there tomorrow are you optimistic about them. well i think people in libya in general are very enthusiastic about something that hasn't happened in the country in sixty years there is a sense of jubilation and excitement about casting a ballot for the first time but it has to be noted that there is also. very there are concerns about a country which remains on the edge and it has to be highlighted that the eastern part of the country the oil rich part of the country is calling to boycott the

elections and indeed to some but at elections because it is unhappy with a decree issued by the national transitional council which would guarantee less than a third of the seats in parliament for the eastern part of the country and has therefore shut down all refineries in the east it has. attacked election offices and burned ballot papers for example and has been involved in clashes. norful out of unrest and the phrase below zero three done to address the concerns of people in the east. i'm sorry kerry jealously being done to address the people in the east concerns that you're talking about there well i think it will remain. a concern for the country as each a piece in the post gadhafi era this is of course where the rebellion started against gadhafi and we are increasingly seeing armed federalists which are seeking

. autonomy all together so this will remain a permanent problem that the country will have to deal with every faction vying for that vote tomorrow visions and islamic sharia law as the basis for the country's constitution is there a chance left for a secular libya tonight. i think it will be a test of strength for the islamic parties which have proven to be popular in neighboring post revolution countries like tunisia and indeed egypt they are it is a highly unpredictable race with more than a hundred party involved parties involved and more only three thousand candidates individual candidates are joining the race but they are clearly for the front runners. and they are in majority islamic parties. and for example the justice and construction party confronted by the muslim brotherhood but

there's also a secularist party led by the former premier my mom would have real but also a national front party with. khadafi a position group and a last party was found in recently by the former rebel commander and jihadist. but has said these parties are likely to do well and he will also give us an indication of how the government will shape. ok now in london thank you very much for your thoughts they were following the story closely of course across the weekend. america's notorious groan tunnel determination facility in cuba is now set for a major renovation the pentagon is reportedly finalizing upgrades including undersea cables and state of the art military equipment but despite pledges by a barber 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 gone into 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 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 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. artie also spoke with british law professor philip sadness it was involved in a number of high profile cases that came out of america's war on terror he details

some of the torture techniques approved by the bush administration next hour. adopted in the autumn of two thousand and two in the u.s. department of defense a series of eighteen took mix of interrogation arranged in three groups and the first group was. no 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 use of the 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 dog these techniques of interrogation. on flock to where the money is a now that includes

a country that until relatively recently at least was struggling with a reputation for crime and poverty but he got pissed off as more of 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 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 in the pouring about to teach. them to try to do something else towards making this a french. bread for me it's very difficult. stories like this are becoming common in brazil especially in rio and sun by along 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. we know it's a shame man but that is the end 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 broad to make their living not only from other south american countries but from europe also and even now from north america to try their chances of fulfilling was increasingly the brazilian dream. of forty rio de janeiro. couple top world news stories now portugal's constitutional court struck down the government's latest to stereotype package is unlawful it said cuts to pensioner and public worker bonuses of vacations couldn't go ahead because they promoted inequality is a harsh blow them to the government's austerity program and it's likely to mean deeper cuts elsewhere now portugal was given a seventy eight billion euro bailout from the e.u. last year to save it from bankruptcy. been protests in northern pakistan over the reopening of a nato supply route through the country earlier this week the roadway was shut last

with local local worries such as pain where borrowing costs go up to almost seven percent which is a critical level for any sovereign country and even though we've had a summit just a week ago which facilitated access to bailout funds without the record bailout procedures the hype is all gone it seems and markets are going down and so is the euro we'll look at it a bit later over in russia. markets also saw a big correction but that's not a big surprise as the markets were widely outperforming the global peers through four days friday into wednesday basically so we've had a correction over the past two days on the my sax the biggest losers were financials though we've been declining around four percent pretty much the only company which was growing was russia's first largest oil company d.m.k. b.p. now if this is a fifty fifty joint venture with b.p. and its russian shareholders could significantly increase their stake in the oil
