it's five pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on an isa now a with our top story and france is leading more calls for us security council action to stop the carnage in syria where over two hundred people have reportedly been killed in a massacre in the central province of hama both government and rebel forces are blaming each other for the slaughter while the world body remains paralyzed and whether to extend its observer mission or impose sanctions relief the notion of reports from to mascot. 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 to belittle. 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 observatories change and it's very hard to be independently verified some analysts have questioned the group's math as as council 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 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 al assad you and your mission 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 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 from the executive intelligence review believes it's the foreign backing of the rebels that's the main obstacle to peace in syria. 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 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
9:04 am
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 tolliver all of 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. big impediment and they're being encouraged by saudi arabia qatar friends 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 from the from abroad will now face

tougher scrutiny here in russia the countries they do my has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents or does the orcas give off reports the idea is that all nonprofit organisations funded from abroad and involved in politics have to register themselves as foreign agents and report to the authorities on their activities the who is to prevent outside forces from interfering with the russia's internal matters this draft did cause quite a lot of criticism 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 organisations funding 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 the business is and so on which can be effective examined 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 education explains the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on angiosperms shows the money flow where's the money coming. towards you or your organisation so you get transparency you get regulation you get some monitoring of. these are all three in 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 at that country. again that's that's not. representing their country and morals.

on the. foreign nation or on a question in nick of a 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 two meters of foreign agents insisted that representatives of cities also registered as foreign 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 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
9:08 am
american law the us argues the difference is that their law doesn't address nonprofit organisations but many see another difference when 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 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 organizations are government funded right. so they get some of their funding from
9:09 am
from the government of the united states anyway so and if she's saying that then the certainly 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 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. . still to come for you this hour who's behind what's being called a new style latin american crew fairly new president who was installed in power after his predecessor was ousted at lightning speed gives us his explanation for recent events that shocked the country. also whistleblowing when victory for weeks he leaves his first major battle against major u.s. financial companies block payments to the website coming up short.

an extra 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 firm responsible for ensuring the games security and made it unfit to stand up to its duties and authorities are 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 that is london really ready there lympics 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. shows that it has made a great deal of coordination i think between the private sector she forest 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 a 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 is it worse it's called a war on terror that kind of attempt to defend people by intelligence or by infiltration it's not necessarily served by scaring people and by bringing out ground missile systems and putting them in blackheath park from the top of
9:12 am
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 when you say world . 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
9:13 am
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 will be given back in tax rebates and local gets off we get another hundred million in terms of its own tax rebates so actually to the economy there at all but the 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 is matters of fashion rather than security

a very very bad omen it's not what we expect in a free society and it's very threatening or 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. fighting that has impose more sanctions on iran over the nation's nuclear and ballistic missile programs eleven companies the philly gaited with the defense ministry in tehran will have their assets frozen and have been blacklisted if 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 make a nuclear bomb something which tehran denied meanwhile the u.s.
