u.n. envoy kofi annan says he's appalled by reports by activists of over two hundred dead and more slaughter in syria as the security council debate whether a new draft resolution can stop the bloodshed also. non-profit groups funded from abroad and involved in russian politics of now become one step closer to becoming for an agency that is the russian state duma crisis and you're going to find out more from you go to school shortly. in just days before the olympic flame is live in london and thousands of british troops are drafted in to bridge a serious security gap after a private firm reveals its not got enough qualified guard.

lie from moscow or its four pm i'm nice in our way with our top story and the u.n. special envoy to syria kofi annan says he's appalled by reports of a new massacre in the country activists say over two hundred have been killed at home on province after a clash between the army and rebels fighting broke out while the un security council is debating whether to extend its observer mission or impose sanctions relief an ocean out reports from damascus. opposition groups claimed at least two hundred people most of them civilians have been killed in the syrian central province of hama every day on thursday fierce clashes broke out there between the governmental forces and the rebels fighting over control the feelings of time so the syrian observatory for human rights says witnesses spoke of civilians died in a to read. before militias moved into the village and these are unconfirmed reports

and this information provided by observer three change and it's very hard to be independently verified some analysts have questioned the group's math as 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 because only after the rebels refused to surrender the 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 the evidence emerged to say 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. just steinberg from the executive intelligence review believe it's the foreign backing of the rebels that's the main obstacle to peace in syria. thank 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 the head of the internal opposition reform opposition movement michel kilo was in moscow and he met with foreign minister lavrov and he said to live are all that his group would be willing to negotiate begrudgingly with president assad representatives it's the xterra law position 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 so it's a rough gordian knot to untie but i think emissary kofi annan now and with backing from russia and china is making one final stand and i can only say i hope they succeed against all odds. nonprofit groups funded from abroad will now face

tougher scrutiny in russia the country's parliament has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register. reports. these were the final readings of the draft so that the world would be much discussing the amendments previously were forwarded including those were both by president they did end up passing the problem so it's now up to the upper house the . you know all of these propose that we shall council like how 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 as foreign agents and report to the authorities like all of their activities that there was to prevent alcide forces from interfering with russia's internal matters did was part of greece is important in the discussion before with many critics saying that it would be potentially antidemocratic so some of these amendments were introduced specifying that these nonprofit organisations funded from abroad have to be

involved in politics since there is also a wide range of other organisations which are also funded from abroad like mass media like your educational institutions businesses and so on which can be effective and by this draft of the initiator say that it's simply a matter of protecting national interest and really of national security and the similar practices being used for years in the west as my colleague again that explains the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on angiosperms shows the money flow where is the money coming. towards you or your organisation so you get transparency you get regulation you get some monitoring of. these are all framed as 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 there has to be no . if you. have foreign nation veronica questioning 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 who promoted economy corporation to reason cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic to meet is a foreign agents insisted that representatives of cities 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 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 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 whoring 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 on 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

separate 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 when 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 a certain. they do and they are certainly going to either get it over only and maybe she's hinting it 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 question 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 our team . still to come this hour who's behind what's being called a new style by an american coup far away a new president who was installed in power after his predecessor with lightning

speed gives his explanation for recent events that the country. also whistle blowing when victory for wiki leaks its first major battle against major u.s. financial companies want payments to the website details coming up on our team. the next three and a half thousand troops will be stationed in london to bolster security for the twenty twelve olympics the additional forces were assigned after a private security firm responsible for ensuring the games security i mean it's unfit to stand up to two days and her first reports two weeks before the olympics kick off the organizers flaws just keep turning up. the london olympics is now just a few weeks away but it's more than the weather that could be said to cause a dark cloud over the events of the transport system already struggling border control checks under pressure and most disconcerting of all the emergence of

significant problems in the security system so is london really ready villain picks twenty twelve soldiers on the streets of london may be an unusual sight but it's one that could be set to greet guests to london's lympics the government have had to call in the troops after it was revealed that the security company g four s. wasn't quite up to the job despite having been awarded a whopping five hundred thirty five million pound contract to do well it shows that it has made a great deal of coordination i think between the private sector g four s. which has this massive contract and the military which itself is putting on a major sort of show of force as it were in the run up to the olympics and i think that you know with such a short time to go one does what one does wonder how three and a half thousand extra servicemen can be implemented very efficiently the drafting in of three thousand five hundred soldiers some of whom have just returned from afghanistan is just the latest in a set of government leaves that have been dubbed the militarization of london on

top of the thousands of soldiers that were already being deployed for the games i think that that kind of war of words that's called a war on terror that kind of attempt to defend people by intelligence or by infiltration it's not necessarily by scaring people and by bringing out ground missile systems and putting them in blackey park in the top of a pop in blocks or indeed having soldiers on the streets of london or having submachine guns on the tube for the first time in its history this is the problems are also causing concern in the transport sector it's already been experiencing major headaches in the build up to the games security just just work with venues and. so how you get people to from the phone use too strong to transport how you direct them where they go where they feel safe house is going to operate and at this late stage list four weeks ago can we train three thousand five hundred personnel in specialist areas and different environments in different locations to

that equally i do wonder the threat of bus strikes congested roads and directives from london underground to walk rather than take the train has left many with more hope than expectation we want the olympics be a success we'd like the financial basis the money that's been invested in it and we could do with a feelgood factor of my own after a period of austerity but when it comes to the actual benefits to britain's economy campaigners insist it's going to be the wealthy sponsors he pocket the goals they're raising seven hundred million from the sponsors for the london olympics actually six hundred million would be given back in texas rebates and local get software get another hundred million in terms of its own tax rebates so actually to the economy there it all with a catalogue of concerns some feel it's already clear who the real winners of this year's olympics will be and i think there's a real danger that the olympic games is becoming a showcase for the international security industry and the military around the

world rather than what it should be which is the athlete despite the problems in the build up to the games there's no lack of enthusiasm in london but when it comes to the logistics and organization as time runs out it looks like britain's going to need to raise its game so r.t. london. meanwhile across the atlantic it's a matter of fashion rather than security bothering the minds of some americans in the run up to the olympic games these are the uniforms that the u.s. athletes will be wearing for the london olympics although all of them were actually made in china it's caused a stir in the u.s. congress with one senator so flustered about it that he suggested burning the suits now the mood quickly caught on the internet with a surge of supportive tweets flooding the web. and you can read more about the olympics made in china scandal on our website our dot com while you're there check out some other stories we have for you and an easy peace. in northern ireland

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 donations to which companies they would accept we're on the slippery road not only just censorship but indeed to an on free society washington as impose more sanctions on iran over the nation's nuclear and ballistic missile programs eleven companies affiliated with the defense ministry in tehran will have their assets frozen and have been blacklisted it's the latest u.s. move against individuals and firms accused of breaching a european ban on buying oil from the country the west accuses iran of seeking to

a new kind of coup he was impeached by the country's senate and replaced by his former deputy frederico franco in a little over a day but brazilian argentina and venezuela have rusin ties with paraguay response and several regional trade groups have suspended the country's membership frederico franco will now lead a transitional government until elections in april next year and in an exclusive interview with our team here explains why the impeachment took place. on the fifteenth of june six 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 the gypsum a c. 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.

they're going to the full interview with federico franco next hour here on r t. but look at the latest from katie out the business that hi katie russian oil becoming more expensive than brand what's that about that's right and he's so west and all companies they started buying the so-called year as a must do to the ball go on a rainy and oil it so they are always price so weighing a run or output sliding as you can see just that with many of to run as customers turning to rock as a replacement all these take agrees he's got the details. are scarce the price is so weak and the spike in euros. joined by alexander and as our of all 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 long 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 it was some one offs like shadow seaboard because of some stall the stanleys embargo for iran which will last for months maybe years but soon as that embargo is over then surely the more fertile option is brant 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 this cause it is so on so it's 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 euro sound make it like right 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 the problem is number first expert capacities there 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. talking to russia let's get to the equity markets and see how they're performing at this friday off today i will go some days to look at just the russian government house says that the economy grew four percent in the second quarter of the year as well the first gains in three sessions of for the my sex is looking good this friday the most so i'm lucky here now with the exchange rate as well the russian currency is up against a year at the u.s. dollar in the session while the common currency remains around the two year low as
