wife and son before rushing to help an elderly disabled neighbor from personal experience what's a rose immediately we're trained to do something to save our belongings for the water was everywhere it was high time was saved ourselves climbed up onto the roof of my son's busses others were not so lucky with many elderly people in particular found amongst the dead in the morning survivors desperately needed help fresh water dry clothes and food their s.o.'s message was answered with russian president vladimir putin arriving to feed rescue and clean up operation for himself besides thousands of emergency workers people from all walks of life rushed to chremes medical students assisted doctors vaccinating survivors fashion model and philanthropist but earlier with john never to give her 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 this through is tons of half of it is still there is. very necessary provision many locals who refused to believe the official account that the flood was caused by torrential rains rumors that the deluge followed the discharge of water from a reservoir continues 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 the i.c.c. they were 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 put their belongings greetings to come. i mean an earthquake when

i came here i go to to buy a floods the russian government and regions of georgie's are to compensate victims with gash and help to rebuild their homes or new ones produce left with nothing and even though it may take weeks and months to get things back to normal the cyclone in southern russia is just refusing to give up even though the town has been badly hit it looks like the people of greensburg have not lost hope and against all odds they're staying and helping each other to rebuild their homes and their lives. crossing the region. a time line of the tragedy that swept through southern russia is available on our web site and there's plenty more on the story on our down there you can see photos and footage from the scene of the disaster that some devastated towns and communities in southern russia. new details have emerged about the bloodshed near the syrian city of hama watch for

a port of the 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 archies marie of a national brings us the details from damascus. but your enemies are attrition hit syria has visited the village of tremseh in the syrian central province of hama hours after the news of much about the alleged massacre there and they've confirmed indeed fierce clashes between the rebels and the government to forces took place on the ground but they've concluded that an attack apparently by the governmental forces appeared targeted at specific houses and specific groups especially namita faxes and opposition activists and this conclusion actually contradicts initial reports that we've been hearing from syrian opposition here they've been very close in their real to be this massacre 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 hope 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 off to the rebels refused to surrender that's going to intensify didn't this village following this assault officials have come to me to say that they've seized many weapons from what they call word 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 can fast they were involved in this incident in what happened in the village of tremseh and they've even sad that they were given weapons that abides forces from abroad and especially from turkey fall pollens

continues to rage everywhere call 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 and i definitely with him when i go to the demands of an armed opposition but it seems so far his nuclear understanding of exactly they are. still needed. these fighters of the syrian opposition they're brave he's 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 explain why this man was hanged and which really helped the syrian regime and was

killing the rebels they say can i met. on behalf of all fronts let me express my admiration by the. overt but this kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a survey or. the terrorists have created those murderers and i believe kill them is necessary for any citizen to leave us. 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. the trend of march in this video cameras says the fight must go on it warns this will happen to anyone who can operate with the assad government. they are top criminals these people are top of criminality how do they have the right what you'll see and when you find your country destroyed to move our country we've been building our lives. the whole world wants to see a political transition from this illegitimate regime seem to actually see one that can take care of its people many how were fear that should such people force assad to leave since like these could become a familiar occurrence and have little faith in a western force democracy. where they 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 who paid the ultimate price. from damascus in syria. they were senate 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 and middle east expert tariq ali believes it's no coincidence that opposition claims of army atrocities in home are 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 and they all when i say from supporters of preaching mayhem in some areas of their deliberately carrying out these are dross to do so that 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 the as they've protected if we're going to have sanctions why not impose on them sanctions on these armed groups that are creating made him in their country it is not only our so 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 that is the favored group of the west i'm going to let you know maybe if forward is negotiation discussion i'm going to to show him constituent

assembly 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 social house where in the region anti-government protests in bahrain aren't dying down despite the authorities as baron on opposition rallies there were fresh clashes between demonstrators and riot police on saturday and it's forecast that confrontations will escalate between the rolling stone and monarchy and the majority shiite population american academic colin khalil who spent a lot of time in the region says a crackdown on dissent in bahrain makes the country's criticism toward syria illegitimate. continuing to be very skinny is pro-democracy opposition supported well with three quarters of the barbie lation firing tear gas canisters. or injuring many of the protesters and killing

some of the all. in the boat just because it's only doing. of course the georgians continue the daily and continue. to many observers and forward to their rooms of syria being. on approach a minority in the world saudi arabia. regime going to have no history of democracy and all. the way to this free syrian army. bunch of mercenaries that have no legitimate. along with bahrain saudi arabia has been stepping up its crackdown on anti-government rallies activists say two men were killed in the oil rich eastern province after police opened fire on protests triggered by the arrest of a prominent shiite cleric last sunday the saudi authorities have to put extra

approved a new round of cuts in exchange for a euro zone bailout to save the country struggling banks crisis treaty just gone vallone it us says he expects more unrest to come. the people in power or the political leadership in the e.u. as well as the united states don't quite seem to understand what is going on and they don't quite seem to understand that they are to be dangerous the banks profits are obscene and i think that these governments are bailing them out continuously it's just simply unconscionable you know of course the people realize these have they are upset about it but of course the politicians do absolutely nothing to rein in the pot would be dangerous and instead what i thought we could lose to start could be very vocal about it fracking and not solving the problems that we have we have on the one hand and out of control financial sector which basically we've been probably to look at on the other hand you have necessarily to be generous

social safety net that had been promised but simply to come out because it's the future expensive you know this is just a form of war and more social disadvantage that we're going to see throughout the e.u. . across the mediterranean and glorious that you had konami there have fueled a rise in racial intolerance violent attacks on emigrants has surged as extreme right wing views get a bigger voice in parliament following last month's elections party pledges include writing the country of all immigrants and urging volunteers to donate blood only to greeks jacob graves reports. all round the country crumbles some parts of greece are seeing firm foundations take root. we want a nationalistic state all of them should go back to where they came from the word of an elected official 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 the public anger get that if you ask me about violence i would have to say yes we do have violence increase the not the violence you're suggesting it is the violence that thousands of greeks suffer from but those going to foreigners that we have allowed to govern accumulate in our land that are now there was this spell to end racism from the podium of 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 all sick immigrants out of their hospital beds and then send three 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 bad times by organized groups and by turns very see me and these attacks are happening

at night and they're wherever doesn't integrate by people who are often for dead and armed with clouds. came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn somalia where he's found. no peace in athens but hard to wish if i'd known what it was going to be like here i would never have left somalia from what happened to you when you're attacked. they beat me to the ground and ran over my leg with a bike. his case is by no means unique the mother of these children was also assaulted while pregnant the perpetrators remain at large as in neighborhoods like this in central athens where an increasing number of attacks are taking place the so-called vigilante groups and discourage targeting minorities. victims say there's little point turn to police they're just not interested. greece's immigrant

influx is worse than any other e.u. country is poorest border with turkey that's where ninety percent of all those seeking refuge and to europe and in a country that circling the drain and nationalist rhetoric is flooding into mainstream politics i think that the lad's way legally here are the eventual groups minutes hardest insists it's an e.u. wide problem which hardpressed greece ends up paying for twice we've heard that going to agreement what happens is once one illegal immigrant is been caught. in there in another place in europe he's going back to that country that here into europe and ups. that means they end up in greece. pleads for. the refugees just keep on coming the danger for them is not the trouble they're fleeing from the extremism the entering j.q.

experiments they come back with and what research they come back with time now to bring in update on some of today's main quarrel news. press the workers are searching for survivors after an eleven story building collapsed in northern egypt at least twelve people are recorded people at the scene claim the building was riddled with structural flaws which caused it to cave in three neighboring buildings were also destroyed by the collapse. at least twenty people have been injured in clashes at an unsanctioned rally in southeastern turkey and support of the kurdistan workers party is imprisoned leader protesters want have put under house arrest instead of being in jail officers fired tear gas and water cannon at an angry mob who hurled rocks the party which wants a separate kurdish state in turkey is considered a terrorist group by the country. thousands have gathered in northwest

pakistan in anger of the agree opening of nato supply lines through the country and to afghanistan demonstrators carried banners and waved flags denouncing their decision islam about close the route last november after a u.s. drone strike killed twenty four pakistani soldiers it only reopened them earlier this month after washington eventually apologized. campaign groups operating in russia that are funded from abroad and involved in politics are likely to face tougher scrutiny they country's lower house of parliament has given the green light to a bill forcing such organizations to register as foreign agents such groups will have to undergo financial audits and to issue regular reports on their activities or to do so could mean heavy fines or even two years in jail it's caused a storm within russia society with criticism that it restricts civil liberties but those three high level laws say the measures will help boost transparency the u.s.

also weighed in against the bill despite having almost identical legislation itself with more here's our washington correspondent going to. the west hurried to dump the proposed legislation is a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s for sure the money flow where is the money coming. toward you or your organization so you get transparency you get regulation you get some monitoring of the liberty. 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 united states if you work for an hour. country you have to register as an agent of that country. now that

again that's that's not a negative but. representing a country and. if you get paid employment of any foreign nation veronica question in nicaragua 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 register disappointing 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 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 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 organization. many of these organizations are government funded right so they they get some of their funding

from from the government of the united states anyway so i know she's saying that then that they certainly do and they are certainly going to either get it about overly and 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 washington 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 r.t. . and i'll be back with a recap of our headlines shortly stay with us. one
