you know what's really happening to the global economy. look at the global financial headlines tune in to the reports. claims of more deadly carnage in syria with the rebels and the regime blaming each other the u.n. debates a new resolution to restore. its revealed that britain's olympic security is not up to speed london is forced to drop the thousands of troops as private contractors failed to heed them are. groups in russia that are funded from abroad may soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents with parliament set to impose stricter monitoring. international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with me thanks for joining us accusations have emerged of

a new massacre in syria opposition claims pro-government troops attacked a village in the home a province killing at least a hundred people these details surfaced as the un security council met in new york to discuss a new resolution on syria russia wants u.n. observers to stay for another three months but western powers want more sanctions against the maskers un envoy kofi annan urged the security council on wednesday to get tough on both sides and warned of consequences if they don't comply with the cease fire syrian state media blames the latest massacre on armed terrorist groups which were also recently accused of killing seventeen palestinians on syrian soil autism or if the notion of reports. while conflict in syria and its seventeenth month hari find proof of cold blooded violence continues to emerge this photo has appeared in some middle east web sites it's apparently shows the bodies of palestinian refugees who earlier disappeared in the troubled province of homs while only five corpses are seen in the picture health officials reported that there were

fourteen of them all identified as members of the palestine liberation army in syria the p.l.o. . later confirmed that the man when you conscripts coming back from a training camp when they were kidnapped three more are still missing most palestinian factions in syria have blamed the armed opposition driven they believe by the u.s. and israel they want to to both weaken the regime and spread despair among palestinians in order to make them give up fighting for their right to get occupied lands back israel is clearly the only beneficiary here this recent incident has become yet another episode of serious sad reality with palestinians similarly deliberately targeted raising concerns over the fate of a community of more than half a million this is an all syrian affair we're focused on protecting our own camps but this opposition have wanted to drag us down since the beginning but now we can see they use all possible tools how immoral they are it's stupid to think this will

succeed we're guests here and nothing can happen the law makers change opposition following the nine hundred forty eight arab israeli war syria embraced thousands of refugees from palestine granting them a full package of civil rights placing them in a far better situation than that faced by palestinians elsewhere but for this the norm we've come here at the time of our families we've gone through revolution in modern court and who is at the helm or see if he is going to die law or it's the people here and the system that accept us not just pleader or the regime but while the conflict escalates some people fear that stayed out of this could become just too difficult to pull off any syrian sense palestinians have always been fighting together you cannot separate them of course if syria needs help who will help no one support the war no one supported the fighting i am not a of course they'll also go fighting but not because they like fighting but because

syrians and palestinians are one. we are no in a war against. terror and or ethnic one we support this war ready to fight against foreigners this is yellow one of thirteen palestinian camps in syria the people living here some for more than sixty years already call themselves yes they say just as a simple i pod casts impose the rules in someone else's house it's just an acceptable for them to get involved in what they say series our own affair this policy of no interference has kept this seven hundred thousand strong community out of the crisis for months now but with persistent times from both warring sides to drive them in people here now fear gets in court in the crossfire. my finish on the team from damascus and syria. from bowl executive intelligence review says the main obstacle to peace in syria comes. down fortunately qatar saudi arabia

turkey continue to provide financing and significant weapons to the opposition u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton continues to insist as a non-negotiable demand that assad steps down and of course these are all violations of the very document that was signed in geneva just two weeks ago president assad proposed to kofi annan on the name of one of his government ministers who he said could be his personal representative negotiating with the opposition a transition government i think that's an important concession and step forward it's the xterra law position based in london paris and in on. who are the big impediment and they're being encouraged by saudi arabia qatar france britain and elements within the obama administration. and that's when the seemingly of the

american. troops have been deployed to the eastern province and there are fears of fresh majority shia population than the rest of us cured by the. dissidents. for freedom of their rights. downplays brick believes they can move. america. on. everything i think that happens at this point in the whole region actually in the middle east in particular in places like saudi arabia has to be understood in the context of preparation for war against iran while they're trying to do is secure the regional environment for facilitating a war against iran with minimal repercussions for western interests in the region so what this means is not only knocking out states that allied with iran such as syria or if they can knock them out and take out the regime that destabilizing them

put them out of the picture that way as far as possible doing that to states. also in terms of kind of repressing and keeping down and disempowering the shia population because adriel deterrent against an attack on iran is the great fear that the shia populations especially across the region will rise up and will attack western interests in the region and now we see in bahrain and saudi arabia attacks on the shia population there so this and this is why the army's pick my view this is trying to prevent the shear from being in any position to to weaken the shear to provide a position to respond effectively and so there are two with a run in the event of an attack on that country. coming up in a few minutes credit to weaken leaks for the winner of the funding. to them to really cut off. of a company who has not been found guilty of any crime i think is a very very bad of. the online whistleblower triumphs and it's fronts the battle

against the u.s. credit card giants which blocked public donations to the web site. also later today and rivaling paraguayan scoop the country's deposed leader tells us he left her void he's people's blood should stay with us for the president's first major interview since his ouster. thousands of british troops are being drafted in to fill the security gap at the london olympics the contingency plans were unveiled just two weeks before the games after a private firm. has failed to train enough staff to do their job millions of pounds have already been spent on security which now doesn't stand up to the task. villan pick games and now just a few weeks away and the final preparations should be being made to make sure that everything runs smoothly but not everything it seems is working as it should it's

just been revealed the security company g four s. passed with providing the security full the olympic games isn't quite up to the job security gap has meant that three thousand five hundred soldiers have been put on standby to be able to manage this after it was found that g four s. were having significant problems now is a strange sight for many people to the. soldiers in the uniform on the streets of london but it's going to be one of things that could be quite common as it's going to be soldiers who are picking up the slack and having to manage god gigi's that should have been provided by the security obviously it's expected that the company is now going to be stripped of some of that cash that was put aside to cover security staff wages security is really the main issue not just for the athletes who are going to be taking part in the olympic games but the londoners as well and of course everyone who's going to be traveling to the country to watch the games

it's a very exciting time for the people of calls wanting to know that they're safe and so this is certainly going to cause a lot of concern amongst a lot of people that this type of problem has been revealed at such a late date and it raises questions about just how coordinated and ready the security system around the olympic games is. and there are good small stories for you at home including sweeping they see the wires to go as underwater drones to clear out iranian mines in the persian gulf the fear it could be another propeller trees type pool all day details online. the real life x. files version releases aids u.f.o. developments data but apart from a flying saucer with a chance at the ball ground there's not much so far about bringing my child to catch all our best videos on our going to china as well.

as. the official. talks from the. video. my old girl. dot com. campaign groups funded from abroad could phrase stop us creation in russia with the veil set to go through its final poem entry haddo the us has been quick to

express concern of a labeling such organizations as foreign agents despite having almost identical legislation itself washington correspondent guy in the checkout explains. non-profit organizations which received money from abroad and are involved in political activities in russia may soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents under the proposed legislation they would also have to open their books for regular audit shows the money flow where the money coming. toward you or your organization so you get transparency you get regulation. these are all through. a sovereign is allowed to do u.s. officials were quick to express concern the press in the west hurried to dub the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s presenting it as an exclusively russian initiative but as the russian foreign minister said the concept and even the wording of the

proposed law was almost entirely borrowed from the american bill called the foreign agents registration act if you work in the united states if you work for another country you have to register as an agent of that country. again that's that's not a negative. representing the country and morals if you are in the employment of a foreign nation veronica a question in nick of us says while in the u.s. she was forced to register as a foreign agent even though she was not involved in any political activities. to them i was a representative from st petersburg we promoted economy corporation to reason cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic tutors and foreign agents insisted that representatives of c.d.'s also register disappointing agents version of the law doesn't even include known political actors like that the foreign agents

registration act in the u.s. quote requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi i political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principle as. well as a cave it is receipts and disbursements in support of those activities end of quote the sponsors of the russian bill say their version is almost identical with the american law the us argues the difference is that their law doesn't address nonprofit organisations but many see another difference but he knew that the us doesn't have thousands of forming organizations which work to change its constitution to change its leadership but we in russia do have a situation when scores of organizations work precisely on that for example when some people to join a protest they have the right to know who's behind it and whose payroll they are members of some non-governmental organizations met with hillary clinton behind closed doors in st petersburg afterwards one of the media the russkie said the

secretary of state is aware of the proposed law and quote is searching for ways to modify the support of russia's n.g.o.s without subjecting them to a crackdown and of course we say non governmental organizations many of these organizations are government funded right so they get some of their funding from from the government of the united states anyway so and she's saying that then that they certainly do and they are certainly going to either get it over early and maybe she's hinting at covertly i don't know many of the n.g.o.s in russia which get their financing from abroad to preach openness and transparency and the sponsors of this washington bill argue it only makes sense that they themselves are subject to the same principles of transparency i'm going to check on in washington are to. weaken leaks has won the first battle and that's compared against major u.s. financial companies a court in iceland has rolled fees and most accounts local partner broke the law

when it blocked transfers of public donations to the whistle blowing website nonstick on war among several u.s. credit card companies and online payments services that stopped accepting money transfers intended for we can make some twenty turns it was in the. aftermath of the website's release of hundreds of thousands of classified american documents we can leaks founder julian assange is wanted in sweden of a sexual assault claims but fears his extradition could see him handed over to the u.s. and face the death penalty for the leaks and human rights activist peter tatchell says that we can exe blockade is an assault on free society this is a very very important principle of freedom of expression and the right of people to donate to an organization which is not itself until until these leaks was not itself the subject of any kind of criminal investigations or allegations even today during a stange and wiki leaks have not been charged with any offense so to preemptively

cut off the finances of a company that has not been found guilty of any crime i think is a very very bad omen it's not what we expect in a free society and it's very threatening a minute seem to freedom all going on as oceans. all n.g.o.s depend upon public donations and the willingness of banks and credit card companies to process those nations once we give those companies the right to veto whose donations to which companies they would accept we're on the slippery road not only just censorship but indeed to an on free society and some international news stories this hour the united states of again cracking down on iran's ability to export oil if you blacklisted a number of individuals and companies accused of breaching a european ban and buying oil from the islamic republic grandstanding of iran's nuclear program is increasing as the west suspect their weapons and with.

martyrs in northern ireland have descended into violence as protestant orange order parades and move through catholic areas of belfast believes you. cannons and battle rounds the stars angry crowds of catholic irish nationalists who hold petrol bombs stones and bottles at officers line police were injured and some of lifers aggressed parades are usually held to mark the sixteen night a victory over a catholic thing and often stoke really just nationalist touch. an inferno in nigeria's oil producing delta has left over one hundred people dead they were trying to collect fuel from an overturned gasoline tanker when it caught fire and it was then exploded and golfing the victims in flames although nigeria is a key oil exporter most of its people live in desperate poverty and rushed to collect spilled oil from such accidents. detainees in a secret u.s.

prisons were drugged with mind altering substances appended a report has revealed prisoners were interrogated while on medication putting their evidence into question best gate of journalist jason leopold was one of those who requested the release of this information and he says the u.s. was just looking to get confessions no matter whether they were true. one thing that's very important to point out here is that these drugs these psychoactive. anti-psychotic medications that were given to these detainees and those detainees were interrogated while they were on those medications the government report the pentagon watchdog report says that it could produce unreliable information in the d.c. circuit. the system that set up there now is that everything of detainees says in a hey b. as in their hey vs corpus case is presumed to be true so the burden falls upon the

detainees to prove that it's not true in the case of one detainees that we identified in the report he confessed to his interrogator that he was a member of al qaida and we also know that this detained he was injected with how dolphin after he made this confession while he was on these while he was on this anti-psychotic they kept him locked up in guantanamo for three more years so you can imagine that basically they were looking to just get confessions whether they were false confessions i think. i think that the evidence to show in fact that there were false confessions he was eventually freed and to repatriated back to saudi arabia but that again another troubling example of how we were extracting false confessions it appears from detainees captured. strain ties away these neighbors has plagued her why ever since it ousted its president fernando

lugar in what many are calling an institutional coup several regional trade groups have suspended the country however new president federico franco is that such moves did not trouble him and paraguayan is ready to go and r.t. spanish language channel talks to the deposed president in his first major interview since he was forced out and later he says that people will not forget their sold on their democracy. one. part of that may well be the main thing is that nothing has happened according to the immediate order and all is quiet going to move. out because the president wants the legitimately elected government don't want to see. it with a fortune for the media to reflect the truth what's going on here and i was interested in of the democratic process and the people will get. it in their minds their personal history and the history of civil society if they don't because they say that if nothing is happening no one has america's expelled york if nothing's

happened. to hold us and that it's if nothing's happened and everything's all right why is the european union sending a condition to that country so it can't be so good nothing at all as something very serious a. serious violation with a parliamentary coupe. president elected according to the constitution by george your vote was impeached god. and the close calls love has written extensively on south america believes her nanda lugar's policies didn't sit well with washington. i think that to pursue an independent foreign policy in latin america is does not does not go over very well in washington and we know this clearly from the week you leaks cables that express the u.s. diplomats next arrest displeasure lugo's independent foreign policy specifically for forging links with a child as a venezuela and bolivia as well legal question u.s.

military involvement which was extremely controversial so i think that. it's not clear whether the u.s. played a role specifically in the impeachment i'm not claiming that but if you ask me whether the u.s. had a motive probably in light of the correspondence and also it's clear that the u.s. was spying on and i think that's a distinction between the state department and intelligence gathering operations like the cia is getting more and more subtle because you have connelly's or rice and hillary clinton asking for personal data on fernando lugo so certainly there was a great suspicion about what he was doing. poll parrot wise ass the president's own prospects have. full interview with fernando just out of an alley here are not. telling in fact that they can try to make or to me that you know that.
