he starts on t.v. don't come. france calls for increased u.n. action on syria with reports of a massacre killing two hundred in the country the security council is deadlocked over how to stop the bloodshed as the army and rebels train plane over the latest water. nonprofit groups funded from aboard and involved in russian politics of now become one step closer to becoming for the agency that's the worst state duma crisis in the it's line no more for me you go to school shortly. and read papers in london as the olympic organizers are forced to call in the british army. just days before the flames with. the russian markets closed and positive territory today after a bull the russian economy grew four percent in the second quarter and old prices

again i'll have all the details in the business but it said about times when it's time. it's seven pm in moscow now this is our t. coming to you live on news and now a with our top story and moscow is demanding an investigation into the latest massacre in syria saying those behind it want to ugly sectarian violence and ignite full civil war over two hundred people are believed to have been killed in the central province of hamas both government and rebel forces are blaming each other for the slaughter while the un remains paralyzed and whether to extend its observer mission or impose sanctions with the notion that 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 earlier on thursday fierce clashes broke out

there between the governmental forces and the rebels fighting over control of village of tremseh the syrian observatory for human rights says 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 observatory could change and is 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'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 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 al assad you and your mission here 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. and france has called for more un security council action to stop the carnage in syria 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 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 all of our 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 iraq. 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 are now on 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 proper scrutiny and the country think you will have given the green light bill forcing such organizations to read. 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 that was to prevent outside forces from interfering with russia's internal matters this draft did cause quite a lot of criticism and discussion before with many critics saying that it could be potentially anti democratic so some of these amendments were introduced specifying that these nonprofit organizations funding from abroad has to be involved in

politics since there is also a wide range of other organisations which are also funded from abroad like mass media or educational institutions the business is and so on which can't be affected by this draft or 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 you can explain to the west hurried to dub 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 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 a 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 know if you can pay or under the employment of any foreign nation for. ironic a 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 we promoted economy corporation to reason cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic to natives 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 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 u.s. argues the difference is that their law doesn't address nonprofit organizations but many see another difference. that the u.s. 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 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

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 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 covert. 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 russian bill are 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 this hour who's behind what's being called a new style latin american cuckoo paranoid new president who came to power at lightning speed his exploits in the recent events that shocked the country.

also whistleblowing when victory for weiqi leaks in its first large battle against major u.s. financial companies payments to the web site details coming up shortly. but first 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 admitted it's unfit to stand up to its duties as 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 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 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 olympic 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 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 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 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 from the top of apartment 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 with venues they work. 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 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 would be given back in tax rebates and local get software get another hundred million in terms of its own tax rebates so why should the economy there at 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 matters of fashion rather than security bothering the minds of some americans in the run up to the olympics let's take a look at the uniforms that the u.s. team athletes will be wearing for the games although all of them were actually made in china and it's causing a stir in congress with one senator so flustered that he suggested burning the suits the mood quickly caught on the internet with a surge of supporters tweets flooding the web. you can read more about the olympics made in china scandal on our website r.t. dot com and while you're there these are some stories we think are worth checking out and on to say that you will march in northern ireland turned violent find out

interview with r t he explained 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 come out so one guilty party became a 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. you watch the full interview with pretty rico franco next hour here on r t we also spoke to the man he replaced from member lugo and you can see his views about what happened on our website r.t. dot com. we clearly have struck back with

a spectacular victory in its first battle against major u.s. financial companies which blocked payments to the online whistleblower a court in iceland has ruled visa and master cards local partner broke the law by refusing to process public donations to the website the credit card giants were among several u.s. payment services that stopped accepting money transfers intended for ricky leaks in twenty ten became after the websites release of hundreds of thousands of classified american cables and data but he leaks founder julian assange remains it ecuador's embassy in london where he's thinking political asylum in the south american country he's wanted in sweden for questioning over alleged sex crimes he denies but believes his extradition there could see him handed over to the u.s. where he fears the death penalty for those 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 or menacing to freedom all organizations. 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 now look at some other international news and washington is imposing sanctions on iran over the state's nuclear and ballistic missile programs eleven companies affiliated with the defense ministry in tehran will have their assets frozen and blacklisted is the latest american move against individuals and firms accused of breaching their european bound by oil from the country meanwhile the u.s. has also begun reinforcing its military assets in the persian gulf by deploying underwater drones target. suddenly. a bomb explosion in southwest pakistan has killed at least five people and wounded a leverage for the attack occurred a day before the prime minister's visit to the area where insurgents are active it's targeted a political rally by the awami national party which opposes is the most militant no

group has yet claimed responsibility for the book. at least twenty four people have been killed in a train crash in south africa for eight service carrying coal for export to mozambique hit a truck with farm workers at a railway crossing everyone's official say over twenty people were taken to hospital. time now for business and katie that's down so the recent trading losses of j.p. morgan have more than doubled. the u.s. bank says the trading error that we have back in may could cost them a total of four point four billion dollars now as london to you had taken bets to protect the bank by hedging against its other investments but the strategy dramatically backfired this not j.p. morgan's reputation the bank has lost about fifteen percent of its market value since the losses were first announced back in the spring so let's have

a look at the u.s. stocks now this time in the morning session and they all rising and that's all speculation that the figures that came out from the chinese economy are going to really in a for some stimulus that's what investors are really holding out for they actually revealed the worst growth figures in three years so the speculation is very much high that the government in china are going to hear some stimulus into the system intervene to get things moving along a little fall start and much can be said for europe as well they're already feeling the optimism as well to do with the fact that they're anticipate. eating some serious come from the chinese economy as well not just china but really central banks across the globe really cementing was high on that also want to mention as well that's how damn boring costs fell at the debt ocean today and that was really in the face of another downgrade from mood is they really sort of demonstrated

their resilience to that is if you give us a common currency there was see how that's before i mean it's a change of fortunes and we can see it's actually gaining now says one twenty two thirty four us the ruble is finished up in the trading session here in moscow today and it was a mixed performance against the basket of currencies is that lasers on to the r.t.s. in the my six then and if we look at the markets here moscow we can see that we had some gains in the trading session for the r.t.s. over two percent that's because the russian economy said that the growth was four percent in the second quarter of the guess that was encouraging and as i say we had some gains in my sense that one point six percent are. also supporting these figures as well western companies have started buying the so-called urals blend and that is due to the ball go on a rainy and or that said the euro is the price soaring and iran oil output sliding

as we can see there with many of terrans customers turning to russia as a replacement artie's jacob graves went to the industry experts for an explanation . discuss the prices weaken 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 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 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 where 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 refineries is. enough to two euros and make it 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. expert capacities there used almost one hundred percent at least those capacities which are headed to europe and the us and the second is that our production capacities are limited we don't have like 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 make a nice that's
