months. hello and thank you for joining of the weekly with me karen tara chief for your week's top stories well russia's southern resort region of course not bad is recovering after the worst floods in its history more than one hundred seventy people were killed in the deluge calls by torrential rain thousands of houses were also destroyed are trees down as well it's reports. it was annoyed of turf for the people of greensburg in almost an instant the small town was a good chile swept away by a torrent of rain and mud there which we pulled up to seven meters most of the buildings there willing to was lucky to survive in the sudden burning queue woke up with wife and son before rushing to help an elderly disabled me from the many

dreams proves what arose immediately we tried to do something to save our belongings but the water was there. where it was high time was saved ourselves who climbed up onto the roof process others were not so lucky with many elderly people in particular found amongst the dead in the morning survivors desperately needed help pressure water dry clothes and food their s.o.'s message was answered with russian president vladimir putin writing to see the rescue and clean up operation for himself besides thousands of emergency workers people from all walks of life rushed to crimps medical students assisted doctors vaccinating survivors fashion model and philanthropist but earlier with john over two gifts were children after an appeal of baseball i just left everything and came here just to just to clarify because i felt i had to and to see how how i myself can be helpful but also before doing that we kind of just got to do whatever we could in one day and we get.

tons of half of it is sealed with a very necessary provision many locals refused to believe the official account but the flood was caused by torrential rains rumors that the deluge followed the discharge of water from a reservoir continued some spread by social media triggering a second wave of panic hundreds of people will gather here fearing that the new wave of floods is coming into town nobody says where they got this information basically people rely on rumors the false alarm however did not stop people from once again returning to their homes and continuing the massive operation these people just arrived from their volunteers they brought shovels rubber gloves everything that is needed to clean up the debris and many flood victims took matters into their own hands literally diving for their belongings greetings to come chats car i escaped an earthquake there and when i came here i got hit by a floods the russian government and regions authorities are to compensate victims

with cash and help to rebuild their homes or you will. and but it was left with nothing and even though with me weeks and months to get things back to normal the cyclone in southern russia is just refusing to give up even though the term has been badly here that looks like the people of greensburg have not lost hope and against all odds they're studying and helping each other to rebuild their homes and their lives those border crossings are reaching. it turn one of the tragedy that swept through southern russia is available on our web site and there's plenty more on the story at our t dot com there you can see photos and footage from the scene of the disaster that devastated towns and communities in southern russia. new details have emerged about the bloodshed near the syrian city of hama which reportedly resulted in two hundred deaths the u.n. findings suggest there have been fierce clashes between the heavily armed syrian

army and rebel fighters on thursday challenging opposition claims of a civilian massacre argues marie of a national brings us the details from damascus when you're an observer trim mission here in syria has visited the village of transair in the syrian central province of hama hours after they knew so much about the alleged massacre there and they've confirmed indeed fierce clashes between the rebels and the governmental forces took place on the ground but this concluded starts an attack apparently by the governmental forces appeared targeted at specific houses and specific groups especially army defectors and opposition activists and this conclusion actually contradicts initial reports that we've been hearing from syrian opposition here they've been very loyal to their real to believe in securing the opposition has also claimed that at least two hundred people mostly civilians have been killed in this incident actually what the international observers have discovered is in line with what we've been hearing from official sources here in damascus that the army

launched an assault against rebel hot but in. this village in the province of hama we've been hearing accounts from official sources that the army even allowed some time for local residents of this village to evacuate and that was only after the rebels refused to surrender the fighting intensified in this village following this assault officials have come to me to say that they've seized many weapons from what they call were terrorists and they've killed many of them and even captured some of them and we've seen apparently some of these people on syrian t.v. here in damascus and this confessed they were involved in this incident in what happened in the first term so they people sad that they weren't given by friends or by sponsors from abroad and especially from turkey but this continues to rage everywhere for syria it still remains unclear exactly who the syrian government the

syrian regime is fighting against his more important that since the uprising in syria escalated the west has been consistently calling on assad and his government to step down you know defective want to give in to the demands of the armed opposition but it seems too far there is no clear understanding of who exactly they are. these fighters of the syrian opposition they're brave determined full of pride they took the fate in their hands. but for some taken control of their destiny meant taken up arms in this amateur video posted on you tube which cannot be independently verified gunmen calling themselves members of the opposition militia from it live explain why this man was hanged and with the help to the syrian regime and it was killing the rebels they say that i am. on behalf of all friends let me express my admiration

by the bravery over. but this kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a civil war. the terrorists are currently those murderers and i believe kill them is necessary for any citizen to leave these. we cannot ask the opposition to unilaterally give up their struggle for justice dignity and self-determination in other media whose origin is hard to establish these men say they captured the syrian air force officer then they dispense even more rough justice. the united states will continue providing non-lethal assistance to help those inside syria who are carrying the fight to organize and better communicate. how. much in this media are the noise

behind cameras says the fight must go on it warns this will happen to anyone who can praise with the assad government. they are top criminals these people are top of criminality how do they have the right feel sad when you find your country destroyed our country we've been building our lives. the whole world wants to see a political transition from this illegitimate regime regime to actually see one that can take care of its people many how were fear that should such people force us to leave since like these could become a familiar occurrence and have little faith in a western force democracy. where they're talking about democracy in the gulf or in other countries we are syrian people we should decide these things ourselves. this mantra that the syrian people alone should determine their country's future has been repeated by many nations and has finally been recognized by major world powers

but it was some states continue to call on assad to leave and support in his opponents fears mountie in syria that it's the people that will pay the ultimate price. my foot ocean r.t. from damascus in syria. the u.s. and its allies are pushing for a u.n. security council resolution demanding that president assad but not the rebels comply with the peace plan or face action russia and china say they won't allow military interference in syria middle east expert eric ali believes it's no coincidence then opposition claims of army atrocities in hamar come during crucial foreign diplomacy over syria i have seen evidence now from journalists in the field i've crossed. who insist their own cross the t.'s carried out by the syrian national council there when i say from supporters of creating mayhem in some

areas and they are deliberately carrying out these are crossties so they can be blamed on to. the regime the regime does its own planes we know that but these people are by no means on the side of the angels as soon as they've protected if we're going to have sanctions why not impose on sanctions on these armed groups that are creating made him in that country it is not only our service that has become very clear over the last few weeks and one can't simply say that this is justified because of who they are fighting against you know the syrian national council it is the favored group of the western countries the only way of forward is negotiation discussion constitution constituent assembly and that it is now obvious that the west is not going to lead because they are affectively backing the people

who are opposed to any negotiate so talk. and elsewhere in the region anti-government protests in bahrain aren't dying down despite the authorities as ban on opposition rallies there were fresh clashes between demonstrators and right place on saturday and it's forecast that confrontations well as scully between the ruling semi monarchy and the majority shiite population american economic colonic kerrville who spent a lot of time in the region says a crackdown on dissent in bahrain makes the country's criticism toward syria illegitimate. to leave or continuing to be very scary and there is pro-democracy opposition supported well with three quarters of the barbie lation firing teargas canisters. are in green many of the protesters ruse in killing some of the order people displayed in the boat just because there's only two. of course the georgians continue the daily and continue. how areas too many

simply too expensive. this is just one more social this engine that we're going to see throughout the e.u. . across the mediterranean angriness of the economic woes there have healed a rise in racial intolerance attacks on immigrants has searched as extreme right wing views get a bigger voice out of parliament following last month's elections party pledges include reading the country of all immigrants and urging muleteers to donate blood only to check of groups reports. the round the country crumbles some parts of greece acing firm foundations take root. we want a nationalistic state above all of them should go back to where they came from the word of millet to deficient as unemployment grows hand in hand with extremist sentiments looking for people to blame for their current plight the golden dawn party has proven to be the prime outlet for the public anger get that if you ask me

about violence i would have to say yes we do have violence increasing not the violence you're suggesting it is the violence that thousands of giac suffer from it are those goings of foreigners that we have allowed to go in accumulate in our land but i know there was this spell to end racism from the podium and scandals including physically assaulting politicians live on air the party still secured around seventy percent of the vote in the parliamentary elections. campaigning with a promise to throw him. out of the hospital beds and incendiary pledge as having dark consequences as greece and in particular athens have seen a spike in the number of hate crimes that have seen almost they are that's the part that's by organized groups and by turning savary see me that these attacks are happening at night and therefore ever doesn't integrate by people who are often for dead and armed with clubs. but came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn

impossible to discover the fate of these neglected children last week russia's children's friends commissioner pavel is to help try to visit the range but it was denied access to the children living there. there are soo many lies about the real conditions of children adopted by u.s. appearance we have no idea what's really going on but i know there were twenty four russian children of different ages and as i understand it they were all removed just days before my does it show that this incident in montana happened only a week before a long awaited agreement concerning the well being of russian children adopted by u.s. families was to come into force russia has long been demanding information from u.s. authorities on the fate of children after they have been taken in by adoptive families but under u.s. law once a child is legally adopted the state has no specific responsibility to monitor or oversee how they are due. in with their new families once an adoption is foreign

allies in any state in the united states that child is considered as if born to those legal adoptive parents there is no further intervention at all on part of the adoption agency in rison years it's an issue that has cost several difficulties in relations between the two countries since russia suspended adoption of its children by americans that was prompted by widespread outrage after a tennessee mother sent her adopted eight year old son back to moscow alone with a known saying she no longer wanted him and there was no isolated case nineteen russian children have been killed or badly injured since overseas adoptions began in nine hundred ninety one including seven year old you violence got about god was beaten to death by his american foster parents. at this hour and this harrowing
