and welcome this is r t it's eleven pm friday evening now here in moscow my name's kevin now in first this hour moscow says those behind the latest massacre in syria want to unleash sectarian violence in the full scale civil war over two hundred people are believed to have been killed in the central province of hama both government and rebel forces blame each other for the slaughter by the un remains paralyzed about whether to extend its observer mission or impose sanctions rare financial report. 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 syrian observatory for human rights says witnesses spoke of civilians died in a to refire before armed 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 matters as count the 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 strong evidence emerged saying that most of the victims were actually supporters of president bashar al 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 a broad or if a nationalist group more on our top story from middle east expert good to mary's in germany hi there no we have massive bloodshed it can to the houla massacre that we witnessed in may with both the rebels and the regime blaming each other for it what are the chances do you think of an investigation finding out who is responsible here. probably would have the same problem as in the case of the who are most. first of all the opposition forces declared this is an act of violence from the government now the united nations say we don't know but there are quite a number of witnesses who can clearly confirm that those people who have been killed they were supporters of bashar al assad they were a white and so it doesn't make sense to kill the own people of the government so it's quite obvious that for the whole

a massacre there rebels who are responsible german who just a few days ago interviewed bashar al assad he described this strategy as mass marketing which means that the rebels on purpose kill as many people as possible in order to incite worldwide public opinion and to promote the. invasion from abroad into syria in order to oust bashar assad if what you're saying is true they're going to why is this not being reported more widely in western mainstream media. well at the beginning it was quite clear that the government was responsible for killing peaceful protests that in the meantime the situation is calm change completely there are still peaceful protests but there's an increasing number not only of.

army people but also of jihad of islamic scientists or of the only purpose to fight. government and as far as western media are concerned well they follow the general pattern would start from the beginning the victim or the rochas bashar asad and we have to also the same strategy which hillary clinton promoted right from the beginning and many nearly all the governments from nato states they followed this pattern so they are not really interested in the vast majority of the media they stick to this fishel pattern which is promoted by the western governments good so there's a very important day coming up on the calendar the mandate of the universe the mission to syria expire in just a week now next friday at security council members are still deadlocked over

a new resolution that could include sanctions after this latest massacre we've seen is actually going to be any quicker. this is what. rebels actually want and it's quite typical whenever in action of. the united security council is going to stand then these atrocities. being reported so i don't think that this author of it actually will be successful because russia as well as china they still object against any intervention from abroad so i'm pretty sure that the next attempt to introduce measures against the government in damascus will also not be successful in the u.n. security council is there any chance you think of dialogue anytime soon between the

rebels and the government through diplomacy. plan of coffee and was the right plan but it was stopped or or. was abhorrent right from the beginning both from the united states from qatar from saudi arabia from turkey even before it really had started it was. declared is a complete failure so western governments and the gulf arab states turkey and also a large part of the opposition has no interest whatsoever in a peaceful solution and they want to get rid of bashar assad and they hope for military intervention from abroad thank you for your thoughts much appreciated the mayor there on the line from germany. you're welcome. non-profit groups hundred from abroad will now face tough scrutiny here in russia the country state duma has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents cannot report. 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 rules to prevent outside forces from interfering with russia's internal matters this draft did cause quality 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 mass media or educational institutions the business is and so on which can be affected by this draft or the initiator say that it's simply a matter of protecting national interest and we 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. towards 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 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. now that again that's that's not a negative but it means they are representing their country and there has to be now

if you can pay or under the employment of any foreign nation. 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 and 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 political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principle as well as a pivot 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 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 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 so they get some of their funding from from the government of the united states anyway so and if she is 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 how 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 it 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 it's been described as latin america's new style of coup her voice new presidency and the power of lightning speak talk to us gives us his explanation about the recent events that shook his country. but before an extra three and a half thousand troops are said to be stationed in london to bolster security for the twenty twelve olympics the additional forces resigned after a private responsible for trying to ensure the games security admitted it was unfit to stand up to its duties and desire to serve first reports two weeks before the olympics kick off the organizers flaws just keep on 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 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. shows that it has made a great deal of coordination i think between the private sector chief 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 as it were as it'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 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 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 when you say world. so how you get people to from the phone use to the straw that directs them where they

go where they feel safe house to go and to operate and at this late stage list four weeks ago can we train three thousand five hundred personnel in specialist areas in different environments 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 have left many with more hope then expectation we will 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 will be given back in texas rebates and local get software get another hundred million in terms of its own tax rebates so action 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 is going to need to raise its game so r.t. london. meanwhile across the atlantic it matters of fashion rather than security bothering the minds these days of some americans in the run up to the olympics these are the uniforms that we'll see in a minute that the u.s. athletes will be wearing for the games here they are although all of them were actually made in china very smart though it caused a stir in the u.s. congress what could the problem be one senator is so flustered about it he suggested burning the suit so let's bring into the conversation where is benedict

good food and where is that former executive director of the libertarian party on the line from louisiana now this america doesn't seem very sporting or in the olympic spirit which let's remind ourselves is all about peaceful competition without politics or racism among other things it seems china which is america's number one rival for metals has already won up before the starting gun is even been fired is that what's winding americans up i'm sure there's more to it there is that what do you think. well i think it's a shame that american politicians want to complain about uniforms that are made in china first of all. american athletes are going to do great and they're going to look great in those uniforms made by ralph lauren and china there's two big problems with with why this you know with politicians get involved in this one they do want to demonize china we've had a belligerent foreign policy for many years and we look around for people to pick on rather than focusing on what we should be doing right and what we should not be

doing wrong second complaining about foreign products whether it's uniforms made in china or anything else demonstrates a lack of economic understanding america was founded with free trade three trade is something that benefits the entire world that helps people whether you're rich or poor and what it in this situation in america is we don't make a lot of clothing our. economy call it a comparative advantage we have a comparative advantage to do things other than make clothing we should be glad that there are countries out there with workers who need to improve their own lives who can do things like make clothing your way so i can understand what you're saying there but it is senior american politicians on both sides republicans and democrats the fuming over this yet of course one of the quote back the uniforms for the u.s. olympic team four years ago in beijing by coincidence were also made in china what

was different four years ago now what's. i don't think much has changed at all politicians in the us come up with a random issues to distract the voting public so the day to day don't so that the public doesn't have as much focus on what the politicians have been doing our politicians have bankrupted discount tree by occupying foreign nations by bailing out failed companies and by subsidizing the corporate welfare businesses that should not exist so it's just a they said distraction and s. a shame we need leaders who understand liberty and will teach the public about liberty not teach the public how to fear foreigners a way to touch thought it just now think about globalization it really is a guest of globalization in action isn't it which many american corporations are all too happy to profit from away from the olympics. well i'm for globalization when it involves free trade not when governments and big corporations team up and

give their own company advantage at the expense of other companies often smaller companies so i'm for real free trade i don't think we really have much of that but free trade in its purest form is a great saying it benefits everyone. but i think former executive director of the libertarian party there thank you. thank you and we invite you to read more about the olympics made in china scandal on our website r.t. dot com while you're on as well check out some of the stories we've got lined up you can get a minute i don't easy peace and you will marches in northern ireland turn violent find out what happened when parts of history across on our website and this is was the center the russian capital just a few hours ago flooded by a massive thunderstorm just as i was walking to work i can tell you all about it check out the footage makes pictures to go through it r.t. dot com. paraguayans facing virtual isolation in south america with neighboring states concerned about the swift ousting of former president fernando lugo in june

he was impeached by the country senate and replaced by his former deputy frederica franco a little over a day brazil argentina and venezuela have now all loosened ties with paraguay in response and several regional trade groups have also suspended the country's membership frederico franco will now lead a transitional government until elections in april next year exclusive interview with r.t. explains why the impeachment took place. on the fifteenth of june all six police officers and eleven farmers were brutally mowed 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 could be promoted to the post of a police so one guilty party became a police commander and the other a regional commander at that point legitimacy was breached got to go president could no longer do his year i looked up this was something serious mistakes while in office and this was the reason parliament to be chalis.

you watch the full interview with frederica franco next hour on r.t. we also spoke to the man who replaced as well fernando his views about the coup he made all too plain you can find out what hear the say about that on our website it streaming at r.t. dot com right now if you want to catch up with there are some other international news had. in spring of today with at least five people have been killed in the suicide bombing a mosque in northeast nigeria six were injured in the blast in the town of met a group which is the spiritual home of the radical islamists. the attackers suspected of being a member of the group the extremist group killed twenty one people when it bombed a christian church last month. washington's imposing sanctions on iran over the state's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and eleven companies affiliated with the defense ministry and the other assets frozen under be blacklisted here's the latest american move against individuals in firms accused of breaching the european ban on buying oil from the country meantime the u.s. has also begun reinforcing its military assets in the persian gulf by employing

underwater drones to target israeli and many submarines. a bomb explosion in southwestern pakistan has killed at least five and wounded eleven the attack in the days before the prime minister's visit to the area were insurgents or active it targeted a political rally by the national party opposes islam this militant no group sponsibility for the blast. is coachable the business know that the business desperandum all the market news of the week eighty chopping one euro absolutely kevin i think it's fair to say it's been for a choppy indeed and i'm i'm happy to say it's kind of ended up on all sorts of high where you got some gains on the markets at the moment i'm going to start with the exchange rates this time in the us because goldman signs that they've put a problem. on the shared currency the year right now they expect it to rise about seventeen percent this year and we had the ruble as well that had a mix but for many in the session today now we're also going to go into the russian

market as well i'm pleased to say they finished up on a high as well we can see that we got some gave we are yes over two percent up the mises one point six percent in positive territory also had some positive because come up on the russian government stays the same that the economy grew four percent in the second quarter of this year and that means that we saw the mice it's gaining for the first time in. three sessions now let's talk about oil companies are started by the so-called heroes plan because a bit of raney an oil embargo now what's happened is that the euro's price soaring and iran all output sliding as we can see now with many of two wrongs customers turning to russia as a replacement now all to jacob graves went to the industry expert for an explanation. that's just the price this week in the spike in. joined by alexander and as are of all a gas analyst 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 on the zimbardo full run which will last for months maybe years but soon as that goes over then surely the more purple 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 scores it is so and so is just lighter their causes. premium for brand historically but in reality for refineries. they should add some gas going to certain after two year olds and make it like right now aside from which is better i mean can russia provide more if it's if it 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 in the us and the second is that our production capacity is 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. let's head on into wall street then and see. the stocks are indeed still rising but what's happening is investors are positioning themselves before civility of more stimulus from the central banks cross the globe and that comes after disappointing chinese g.d.p. i think it is with china's economy growing in three years so that means that investors

are now anticipating the government in china to intervene to get the economy moving again now so with us the net profit of j.p. morgan chase plunged almost nine percent in the second quarter and now the bank has also admitted that the cost of its recent trading era has more than doubled the initial estimates of what it's going to cost equaling four point four billion dollars that is london had taken best to protect the bank by hedging against other investments but the strategy dramatically back fired now this is not j.p. morgan's reputation the bank has lost about fifteen percent of his market value since the losses were first announced in the spring we've also got the european figures this is how they finished up today they did stage a recovery that has investors who are also looking out for more stimulus coming from the chinese authorities as well just want to merge with well there was a bond auction and it's really that went rather well as well and that's in the face

of moody's downgraded them so they demonstrated some resilience that that was good news as well all right so that was this week that was how the markets performed i'm going to be back on monday morning keeping track of all the latest movements kevin . thanks for the. people of all coming up in a few minutes on this channel but. to the headlines coming up next. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money maintains its need to be

a lot of people at area my brigade this most recent financial scandal gives the term bank robbery an entirely new meaning to me to be wasting of whatever it is the largest economy.
