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 approved tougher scrutiny for groups funded from abroad which will soon have to declare themselves as a foreign agent. and the london olympics in jeopardy it's revealed security is severely lacking as britain is forced to draft in thousands of troops because of private contractors failing. it's three pm here in moscow this is archie coming to you live from nice and now

a with our top story this hour and 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 terrorist groups the deaths occurred as the u.n. security council argued whether to extend the observer mission or impose more sanctions for no snow 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 village of tremseh the syrian observatory for human rights says eyewitnesses 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

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 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 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. and the foreign backing of the rebels the main obstacle to peace in syria we've been hearing from jeff steinberg from the executive intelligence review. unfortunately qatar saudi arabia turkey continue to provide financing. 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 iraq. who are the

big impediment and they're being encouraged by saudi arabia qatar friends britain and elements within the obama administration. well where in the arab world but seemingly off the american radar extra troops have been deployed to saudi arabia's eastern province i mean here's a fresh protests by the majority shia population the un rats with fueled by the government crackdown on dissidents and growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights the most recent clashes and the regime damage freighters. forces open fire political analysts believe the king of moves from a possible american back to back iran. 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 has been. in my view this is trying to prevent the shear from being in any position to to weaken the shear to bring them 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 a few minutes 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 and my whistle blower triumph in its first battle against us credit card giants which blocks public donations to the website. and detainees problems with mind bending drugs the pentagon report shows inmates in secret foreign prisons were interrogated while under the influence of chemical. campaign groups funded from abroad will face tougher scrutiny in russia other countries the lower house of parliament has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents as few groups cannot reports now from the state. these were the final readings of the draft so the deputies of the duma were pretty much discussing the amendments previously put

forward including those proposed by president bush and they did end up passing the draft so it's now up to the upper house of parliament even those that are we sure council to approve it and then for the president to sign it so the idea is all nonprofit organizations funded from abroad and involved in politics they have to register themselves and ask for the agents and to report to the authorities all of their activities to use to prevent alcide forces from interfering with the russians internal matters this draft did forms part of brazil and discussion before with many critics saying that it would be potentially anti democratic so some of these amendments were introduced specifying that these nonprofit organizations funded from abroad have to be involved in politics since there's also a wide range of other organisations which are also funded from abroad like the mass media or educational institutions business is and so on which can be affected by

this graph to the initiator see that it's. simply a matter of protecting national interest of national security and the similar practices being used for years in the west as my colleague john explains the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s pressures of money flow where the money coming. toward you or your organization so you can get transparency get regulation get some monitoring of. these roll through. a sovereign 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 of that country. never

again that's that's not a negative. representing that country and wants to be now if you go on the employment of any foreign nation veronica 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 tutor's of foreign agents insisted that representatives of cities also registered as foreign agents version of the law doesn't even include nonpolitical 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 receipt 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 organizations but many see another difference but he knew that the u.s. doesn't have thousands of forming 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 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 secretary of state is aware of the proposed law and quote is searching for ways to modify the support of russia's angels without subjecting them to a crackdown end of quote 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 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 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 r.t. . thousands of british troops are being drafted in to fill the security gap at the london olympics the contingency plans were on the rail just two weeks before the games after private firm g four asked how to train enough staff to do the job millions of pounds have already been spent on security which now doesn't seem up to the task as are two sarah firth 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 is seems is working as it should it's just been revealed the security company g four s. passed with providing the security full bill and big 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 guard gigi's that should have been provided by the security obviously it's expected that the company is now going to be stripped 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 the state 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 on 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 one senator so flustered about it he wants the kids to be burned i'm sure others are tweeting in anger on their chinese belt i phones and i pads but the latest all american order doesn't seem to be doing the chinese economy much good more from the business desk now with daniel bushell. charges going up the

you're watching r t live from moscow weekly leaks has won the first battle in its campaign against major u.s. financial companies a court in iceland has ruled visa and master cards local partner broke the law when it blocked transfers of public donations to the whistle blowing website the visa and master card were among several u.s. credit card companies and online payment services that stopped accepting money transfers intended for wiki leaks and twenty ten it was in the aftermath of the website's release of hundreds of thousands of classified american documents but he leaks founder julian assange is wanted in sweden for questioning over sexual assault claims but fears of extradition could see him and over to the u.s. 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 . 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. it's not what we expect in a free society and it's very threatening a minute seem to for you don't all going to as oceans. all n.g.o.s depend upon public donations and the willingness of banks and credit card companies to process those innovations once we give those companies the right to veto who's donations to which companies they would accept we're on the slippery road just censorship but

indeed to an on free society more international news for you this hour scuffles in los angeles as police towns and bullets against occupy protesters around two hundred people linked with the movement converge downtown and join an annual gathering of street artist over a dozen were arrested as they threw rocks and cans a response to that is what. the occupy movement was born almost a year ago against corporate greed and economic inequality. and you will marches in northern ireland have descended into violence as protestant orange order parade through catholic areas of el bulli use water cannons and proton rounds to disperse angry crowds of catholic irish nationalists who hurled petrol bombs stones and bottles at officers police were injured and some rioters arrested many parades are usually held to mark the sixty nine victory over

a catholic king and often stoke religious and national tension. the united states is again cracking down on iran's ability to export oil its blacklisted a number of individuals and companies accused of breaching a european ban on buying oil from the if the public grandstanding over iran's nuclear program is increasing the west suspect is creating nuclear weapons which iran denies. detainees in secret u.s. prisons were drugged with mind altering substances a pentagon report has revealed prisoners were interrogated while on medication but in their evidence into question investigative journalist jason leopold was one of those who requested the release of 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 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 dull and 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. strain ties with its neighbors has plagued paraguay ever since its ousted its president fernando lugo in what many are calling an institutional coup later on r.t. paraguay's new leader explains why the country impeached its president. on the fifteenth of june the 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 but someone responsible for seventeen deaths would be promoted to the post of a police car 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. we'll bring you that exclusive interview with frederico franco in fall in just over two hours here on r.t.e. let's go back to the business desk daniel bushell now joins us and russian oil becomes more expensive than brant what's happening yes western oil companies have started buying the so-called you are all. iranian oil is the yours price soaring iran oil output sliding as we can see from the graphic here with many of tehran's customers turning now to russia as a reliable replacement greaves explains. discuss the price this week in the spike in new rules blend joined by alexander and as our of oil and gas analysts from gas from. now nice to meet you how long do you think this good fortune for us

can last. one so you wouldn't last for long like it was before but i think these time it could be different because the reason for that is different and what's the reason for it well unlikely last times when it was some one offs like shadow seaboard because of some storm these timely zimbardo full run which will last for months maybe years but soon as that embargo is over then surely the more options 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 it is so and so is just lighter there causes some premium for brand historically but in reality for refinery says they should add some gas going to said enough to two euros and make it like right now aside from which is better i mean can russia provide more if it's if there's more demand of it

can it supply more oil marginally i don't think the problem is number first expert capacities they're used almost one hundred percent at least those capacities which are headed to you are and yes and the second is that our production capacity is limited we don't have like sodium 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. let's check the markets because the euro's near two year lows on the u.s. dollar higher oil has the ruble up on both the single currency italy is now in the black despite moody's downgrading the country's rating frankfurt has gone over sixty five hundred points russian government says the economy grew four percent in the second quarter of this year that's brought the first gains in three sessions for the sixth and china's growing at its lowest in three years seven point six

percent last quarter amazing by most standards but not beijing's he blames the global crisis for cutting demand on its products more pressure on premier wen jiabao to pump money into the economy and return to the four big growth seen in previous years today and he said using trees around the web site all right thanks for the bad. america's tasty trash coming up as we highlight the tons of food being thrown away every year that's still good enough to eat also the headlines after this break.
