claims of more deadly carnage in syria the rebels and the regime trade accusations while the u.n. debates whether a new draft resolution can stop the bloodshed. the russian parliament approves tougher scrutiny for groups funded from abroad which will soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents. and the london olympics in jeopardy it's revealed security is severely lacking as britain is forced to draft and thousands of troops because of private contractors family. my from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said

now it's good to have you with us two pm here in the russian capital eleven am in london but we begin in syria where details have emerged of a new massacre the opposition claims pro-government troops attacked a village in the province killing at least two hundred people syrian state media accuses armed terrorist groups now the deaths occurred as the u.n. security council argued whether to extend the observer mission or impose more sanctions. has the latest from to mask. 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 village of tremseh the syrian observatory for human rights says eyewitnesses spoke of civilians died in a to refire before armed militias moved into the village and these are unconfirmed reports and this information provided by observatory change and is very hard to be

independently verified some analysts have questioned the group's matters as count gunmen armed opposition as civilian casualties even though they are 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 assad you and your mission in syria is still 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 and while 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 it's not only the syrians suffering from the conflict but many others within the country are also trieste here's my report on that. conflict in syria and seventeenth month story find proof of cold blooded violence continues to emerge this photo has appeared in some middle east web sites it apparently shows the bodies of palestinian refugees. who'd 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 there p.-l. a later confirmed that the man who knew 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 wanted to both weaken the regime and spread this fear among palestinians in order to make them give up your eating for the right to get. back israel is clearly the only beneficiary here this recent incident has become yet another episode of series a 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 of we're focused on protecting our own cars but this opposition have wanted to drag us down since the beginning but now we can see they use all possible actual words of how immoral they are it's stupid to think this will succeed we get nothing can happen the law makers change your 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 posting ins alsa where for the new york

we've come here at the time of our families we've gone through revolution no matter what and who is at the helm our safety is going to by law or it's the people here and the system that accept not just the leader or the regime while the conflict escalates some people fear that stayed out of this could become just too difficult for three and syrian center palestinians have always been fighting together you cannot separate the two of course if syria needs help who will help no one support the war. in the army of course they'll also go fighting but not because they like fighting but because syrians and palestinians are one. we are now in a war against terrorism not a sectarian or ethnic one and we support this war to fight against foreigners this is young wolf one of thirteen palestinian camps in syria the people living here some for more than sixty years already kill themselves yes they say just as

a simple i guess impose the rules in someone else's house it's just not acceptable for them to get involved in what they say series affair this was see no interference has kept the seven hundred thousand strong community out of the crisis for months now but we persist in the times from both war in size to drive them in people here now fear gets in court in the crossfire. my fellow shall not see from damascus in syria. now elsewhere in the arab world but seemingly off the american radar extra troops have been deployed to the eastern solving problems amid fears of fresh protests by the majority shia population we're on rest was fueled by the government crackdown on dissidents and growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights. and two thousand demonstrators killed with the purity of forces opened fire let it go on the list and glazebrook believes the program has moved

from a possible american backed attack on iraq. everything i think that happens at this point in the whole region actually in the middle east in particular in places like saudi arabia 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. with iran such as syria. if i can knock them out and take out the regime then destabilizing them put them out of the picture that way as far as possible doing that to states also in terms of common 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 but in 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 in solidarity with the run in the event of an attack on that country. because we are in a few minutes here on our credit to wiki leaks with a win over funding. 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. p.r. my whistleblower triumph in its first battle against the u.s. credit card which public donations. campaign groups from funded i should say from abroad will face tougher scrutiny in russia as part of the mint has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents. following the

story in the state duma you bore was there much debate today in parliament on this new law. well today this was the final readings of the drive so the deputies were pretty much discussing the amendments previously would forward including those proposed by a president which only did. the draft up to the opera house federation council to a group for the president to sign and so the idea is that all non profit organisations funded from abroad and involved in politics. have to register themselves as foreign agents and report to the authorities on their activities the war was to prevent outside forces from interfering with russia's internal matters now there was one of the discussion and lots of criticism of this draft with many critics saying that it would be potentially anti-democratic but these amendments were introduced which specify that these groups funded from abroad have to be

involved in politics since there is a wide range of organizations including media educational institutions and so on which. couldn't be affected by this draft in the end as the deputies have decided to finally so the initiator see that this is really a question of protecting national interest and really a question of national security and the similar practices being used for a very very long time in the west and my colleague a major john explains. the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on angiosperms shows the money flow where's the money coming. toward you or your organization so you get transparency you get regulation you get some of. these are all things that a nation 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 the united states if you work for another country you have to register as an agent not that country. now that again that's that's not a negative but it means they are representing their country and then also you know if you can pay them the employment of any foreign nation veronica question in nicaragua says while in the u.s. she. i 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 us justice department which more new touristic two meters of foreign agents insisted that representatives of c.d.'s also register disappointing agents version of the law doesn't even include nonpolitical actors like that the foreign agents registration act in the us 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 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 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 going to say sions work precisely on that for example when some calls 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

sectors that 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 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 over it when maybe she's hinting at covertly i don't know many of the n.g.o.s in russia which get their finance. in from abroad to preach openness and transparency in the sponsors of this russian bill for you it only makes sense that themselves are subject to the same principles of transparency i'm going to check on in washington r.t. . thousands of british troops are being drafted in to fill the security gap at the london olympics the contingency plans were on vale just two weeks before the games after private firm g four s.

fell to train enough staff to do the drop millions of pounds have already been spent on school security which now doesn't seem up to the task force he's sorry for have a point. there limp it 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 being revealed the security company key for us 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. well having significant problems now is a strange sight for many people to see. 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 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 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 travelling 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. well it matters but it matters i should say of fashion rather than security that have gripped the minds of americans ahead of the olympic games these are the uniforms their prime athletes will be

sporting although they're actually made in china and one senator so flustered about it he wants the kits to be burnt and i'm sure others are tweeting in anger on their chinese belt i phones but the latest all-american order doesn't seem to be doing the chinese economy much good let's not get more from our business desk daniel bushell joins us daniel the figures from china aren't all that encouraging at the moment are they not in the situation is growing at the slowest in three years boosted over those figures other countries would kill for beijing so the economy just seven percent in the second three months of this year that may sound good but it's not what in the post we saw troops will but on the company's public protests if they don't maintain the growth that people have now got used to. all right daniel thanks for that you can watch the full built in around five minutes here on our to do. well lots more stories for you at our dot com including sweeping the sea the u.s. deploys underwater drones to clear out the rain mines in the persian gulf the fear

video. now in the palm of you want. to. wiki leaks has won its first battle in its campaign against major u.s. financial companies the court has ruled visa and master card's local partner broke a wall when it blocked transfers of public donations to the whistle blowing web site now visa and master card were among several u.s. credit card companies and online payment services that stop accepting money transfers intended for weekend. thanks in twenty ten it was in the aftermath of the website's release of hundreds of thousands of classified american documents released founder julian assange is wanted in sweden over questioning on sexual assault claims but fears his extradition could see him handed over to the u.s.

and face the death penalty for the leaks human rights activist peter tatchell says the wiki leaks 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 menacing 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. more international news this hour scuffles in los angeles as police use both hands and bullets against occupy protesters around two hundred people linked with the movement converged downtown into an annual gathering of street artist over a dozen were arrested as they threw rocks and cabs in response to the. movement was born almost a year ago against corporate greed and economic inequality. and annual marches in northern ireland have descended into violence as protestant orange order parades moved through catholic areas and. police used water cannons and baton rounds to disperse angry crowds of catholic irish now with petrol bomb stones and bottles at

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 that detainees says into haiti is in their hevia scorpius 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 detainees 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. still to come this hour paraguay's new leader explains why the country impeached its president. the people and. on the fifteenth of june more secure police officers and eleven farmers were brutally murdered and the people responsible for this massacre promoted i don't believe this is ever happened in any other country that someone responsible for seventeen deaths would be promoted to the post of a police coming so one guilty party became the police commander and the other a regional commander at that point legitimacy was breached the president could no

longer do his job this was something called serious mistakes while in office and this was the reason parliament impeached him. get both sides of the story and watch the full interview coming up here on our team . the second with daniel again at the business as the price of russia's urals oil has gone above western bread for the first time yet western oil companies have started buying euros blend due to the embargo on rain you know it's and iran all price is sliding with many of tehran's customers turning to russia. as a replacement as you can see in this graphic. oil output has been sliding you could talk to an oil and gas analyst alexander who explained the situation. has discussed the price this week in the spike in. joined by alexander and as are of

all a gas analyst from gas from. now nice to meet you how long do you think this good fortune for you is going to last. one so you wouldn't last fall like it was before but i think this time it could be different because the reason for that is different and what's the reason for. well unlikely last times when there was some one offs like shadow seaboard because of. these timely zimbardo for run. which will last for months maybe years but soon as that embargo is over then surely the more profitable option is brand that's why people are going to be putting their money just you know fundamentally brant crude is better than euros for some characteristic so fruity scores eighty so and so is just lighter their causes. premium brand historically but in reality for refinery says they should add some gas corner third enough to two year old sound make it. now

aside from which is better i mean can russia provide more if there's more demand of it can it supply more oil marginally i don't think so or the problem is a number for extra capacities they're used almost one hundred percent at least those capacities which are headed to europe and us and the second is that our production capacities are limited we don't have like because we don't have a spare capacity for production historically and right now it's the true as well russian companies produce as much as they can't every single moment for markets the year is near two year lows on the dollar high oil meanwhile has the ruble up both figure and the green but this e.u. markets are growing after a pause both italy's and spain's bourses have now also swung into gains russia's economy is just said the country grew four percent in the second quarter head of
