a to refire before the 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 math as counts 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 the evidence emerged saying that most of the victims were actually supporters of president bashar assad here and so the true mission in

series 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. moscow says the massacre in the syrian village benefits those who want to unleash the tarion unrest in the country jeff steinberg from the executive intelligence review believes it's the foreign backing of the rebels that's the main obstacle to peace. 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
10:04 am
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 lavrov 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 omkara 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

media or educational institutions the business is and saw which can be effected by this right to the initiator say that it's simply a matter of protecting national interest the need 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. 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
10:07 am
called the foreign agents registration act if you work in the united states if you work for another country you have to register as in nature 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 can 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 which would be extended to them i was a representative from st petersburg we promoted. cooperation to resume cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic to meet is a 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 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 i need a new at in 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 i'm 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 who's 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 sector estate 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
10:09 am
a crackdown and of course 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 washing 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 our team. still to come this hour who's behind what's being called a new style latin american crew the president came to power at lightning speed gives his explanation for recent events that shook the country. and whistle blowing when victory for wiki leaks in its first large battle against major u.s.

financial companies which blocked payments to the web site the details are coming up shortly. 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 contracting firm responsible for ensuring the games security and made its unfit to stand up to its students as artists are first reports two weeks before the olympics kick off 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 but 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 dylan picks twenty twelve soldiers on the streets of london may be an unusual sight but it's
10:11 am
one that could be set to greet guests to london's olympic for 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. 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 is it worse that's called
10:12 am
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 putting out ground missile systems and putting them in blackheath park from 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 the security 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 when you see world. so how you get people to from the phone use to the straw that directs them where they go where they feel safe 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 feel good factor in a moment 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 will be given back in tax rebates and local gets off we get another hundred million in terms of its own tax rebates so why should the economy there at all with a catalogue of concern 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

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 or menacing to freedom all going on as oceans. 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. we're
