with me our thanks for joining us details have emerged of a new massacre in syria the opposition claims pro-government troops attacked a village in the home province killing at least two hundred people syrian state media accuses armed terrorist groups the deaths occurred as the u.n. security council argued whether to extend the observer mission or impose more sanctions or if you know she has the latest from damascus. opposition groups claimed at least two hundred people most of them civilians have been killed in the syrian central province of hama earlier on thursday fierce clashes broke out there between the governmental forces and the rebels fighting over control of. the syrian observatory for human rights witnesses spoke of civilians died in a to refire before the militias moved into the village and these are unconfirmed reports and this information provided by observatory change and it's very hard to be independently verified some analysts have questioned the group's math as as
5:02 am
count gunmen armed opposition as civilian casualties even though they're carrying weapons and they're taking part in the armed uprising at the same time we've been hearing other accounts that the syrian army had allowed time for the residents of this village to evacuate and it was only after the rebels refused to surrender that fighting intensified the opposition is portraying these latest developments as having a strong resemblance to may's houla massacre that claimed one hundred eight lives most of them children and women at the top of the opposition reported governmental shelling but later strong evidence emerged saying that most of the victims were actually supporters of president bashar al assad you and your mission here in series two unable to establish exactly who was behind this massacre in both cases news has come while the un security council was about to consider vital decision on the country's future violence continues to rage all across the country damascus has been reporting that a large number of opposition fighters have tried to enter syria from abroad. and is

therefore in backing of the rebels that's the main obstacle to peace in syria as we've been hearing from dr steinberg from the executive intelligence review. unfortunately qatar saudi arabia turkey continue to provide financing and significant weapons to the opposition u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton continues to insist there's 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 xterm the opposition based in london paris and in. who are the

big impediment and they're being encouraged by saudi arabia qatar france britain and elements within the obama administration and asked why they are wild but seemingly also american. troops have been deployed to the eastern side of province i mean it is a fresh process by the jar to share population and rest was healed by pro-government dissidents are growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights the most recent clashes to demonstrate his code why security forces opened fire and political analyst darn close group believes the kingdoms move from american. 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 what they're trying to do is secure the regional environment for facilitating
5:05 am
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 a real 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 this is why the army's been been sent in in my view this is trying to prevent the shear from being in any position to to weaken the shear to prevent and be in a position to respond effectively and so they're to with a run in the event of an attack on that country. coming up in

south reports. 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 comes the key for us past 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 see the soldiers in the uniform on the streets of london but it's going to be one of the things that could be quite common as it's going to be soldiers who are picking up the slack and having to manage guard 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
5:08 am
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 such a late date and it raises questions about just how coordinated and ready the security system around the olympic games is. but it's matters of fashion rather than security that have gripped the minds of americans ahead of the olympic games and these are the uniforms they're prime ask it's all be sporting although that actually made in china and one senator is so flustered about it he wants the kids to get burned and i'm sure others are tweeting in anger on their chinese build i

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 menacing to freedom all going on as asians. or 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 donations to which companies they would accept we're on the slippery road not only just censorship but indeed to an on free society. more international news stories for you this hour scuffles in los angeles as police used but bullets against occupy protesters around two hundred people linked with the new converts downtown and joined an annual gathering of street artists over dozen were arrested as they threw rocks and cans in response to the police presence by a movement was born almost

a year ago against corporate greed and economic inequality. annual marchers in northern ireland have descended into violence as protestant orange order parades moved through public areas of belfast police used water cannons and baton rounds to disperse angry crowds of catholic irish nationalists who hold petrol bombs stones and bottles at officers nine police were injured and some rioters arrested many parades are usually held to mark the sixty nine to victory over a catholic king and often stoke religious and nationalist. the united states is again cracking down on a rise ability to export oil its blacklist the number of individuals and companies accused of breaching a european ban on buying oil from the islamic republic while standing over iran's nuclear program is increasing as the west suspect is creating nuclear weapons which iran denies. detainees in secret u.s.
5:13 am
prisons were drugged with mind altering substances a pentagon report has revealed prisoners were interrogated while on medication pushing their evidence into question and investigative journalist jason lippold 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 or false. 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's set up there now is that everything of detainees says in a hey vs in there hey vs corpus case is presumed to be true so the burden falls upon
5:14 am
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. again another troubling example of how we were extracting false confessions it appears from detainees captured. campaign groups funded from abroad will face toughest person in russia russia's parliament has given the green light to

a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents the u.s. has been quick to express concern of a labeling such organizations as foreign agents despite having almost identical legislation himself and he is our washington correspondent going to check out. the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s shows the money flow where the money coming. toward you or your organization so you get transparency you get regulation you get a monitoring of. these are all through. a sovereign nation is allowed to do u.s. officials were quick to express concern 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 united states if you work
5:16 am
for another country you have to register as an agent of that country. never again that's that's not a negative. representing a country and then also we know if you get on the employment of any foreign nation veronica question in nicaragua 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. 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 two meters of foreign agents insisted that representatives of cities also registered disappointing agents version of the law doesn't even include nonpolitical actors like the foreign agents registration act in the u.s. quote requires persons acting as age. and so for in principles in a political or quasi i political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of
5:17 am
their relationship with the foreign principal as well as a pivotal 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 u.s. argues the difference is that their law doesn't address nonprofit organisations but many see another difference when he knew that the u.s. doesn't have thousands of whoring organizations which work to change its constitution to change its leadership but in russia do you have a situation when scores of organizations work precisely on that for example when some comes for people to join a protest they have the right to know who's behind that and whose payroll they are members of some non-governmental organizations met with hillary clinton behind closed doors in st petersburg afterwards one of them 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 end of quote we say non governmental organizations many of these
5:18 am
organizations are government funded right so they get some of their funding from from the government of the united states anyway so and she is 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 in the sponsors of this russian bill or you it only makes sense that they themselves are subject to the same principles of transparency i'm going to check on in washington r.t. . strained ties with its neighbors has plagues paraguayan of a sense that i asked its president turn around and many are calling an institutional coup several regional trade groups have suspended the country how i like new president franco said such moves did not. trouble him and gregg why is ready to go it alone and. will bring you charles interview with the new president
5:19 am
federico franco get out he also talked explicit or they deposed president lugo and his last major interview since being forced out they said he says the people will not forget the salt on their doctors most of. them but of the main thing is that nothing has happened according to the immediate order and all is quiet going to move me dad because the president and the legitimately elected government don't want to see. it for its important for the media to reflect the truth of what's going on here when i was in this region of the democratic process and the people who think it is in their mind their personal history and the history of civil society if they can because they say that if nothing is happening no one has america still expelled york if nothing's happened why has you know builders but if the if nothing's happened and everything's all right why is the european union sending you're going to that country so it can't be so good nothing at all as
5:20 am
something very serious and below is a serious violation within the parliamentary coupe. the president elected according to the constitution by george you voters was impeached going to. undertake close calls love has written extensively on south america very fernando lugo's policies didn't sit well with washington. i think that to pursue an independent foreign policy in latin america is does not carry does not go over very well in washington and we know this clearly from the wiki leaks cables that express the u.s. diplomats and expressed displeasure at lugo's independent foreign policy specifically for forging links with who a child was a venezuela and bolivia as well question u.s. military involvement which was extremely controversial so i think that that it's not clear whether the u.s.
5:21 am
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 the correspondence and also it's clear that the u.s. was spying on to go and i think that the distinction between the state department and intelligence gathering operations like the cia is getting more and more subtle because you have connally so rice and hillary clinton asking for personal data on fernando lugo so certainly there was a great suspicion about what he was doing. the whole paraguayans out of president's own perspective they've been so watch out for an interview with fernando lugo and just over an hour here on out. now china's growth already used to be a dying always at our business desk so what's the story i had china's growing at the slowest in three years g.d.p. grew seven point six percent last quarter amazing by most standards but not by
