just got to do whatever we could in one day and we get. tons of half of it this is. very necessary provision many locals who 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 can. the massive operation these people just arrived from overseas they're volunteers they brought shovels rubber gloves everything that is needed to clean up the debris many flood victims took matters into their own hands literally diving put their belongings greetings to come shots car i mean it's an earthquake there and when i came here i got hit by

a flood the russian government and regions of georgie's are to camp and see victims with cash and help to rebuild their homes or new ones but those left with nothing and even though it may take weeks and months to get things back to normal this clown 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. the timeline of a tragedy that swept through southern russia is available on our website and there's plenty more on this story at all to dot com and you can see players and that is from the scene of the disaster that's devastated towns and communities in southern russia. moving on now and 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 had been fierce clashes between the heavily armed a syrian army and rebel fighters on thursday challenging opposition claims of a civilian massacre or if international brings us the details found a mask. but your arms 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 governmental forces took place on the ground but this concluded that's an attack apparently by the governmental forces appeared targeted at specific houses and specific groups especially i mean to faxes and opposition activists and this conclusion actually contradicts initial reports that we've been hearing from syrian opposition here they've been very fortunate there are real to be this massacre the opposition has also claimed that at least two hundred people most of them 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 trouble 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 and 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 those 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 while bombs continues to rage everywhere calls 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 in the defectively want to give in to the demands of the armed opposition but it seems so far there is no clear understanding of who exactly they are. submitted to. 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 which he helped the syrian regime and was killing the rebels they say i am. on behalf of all friends let me express

my admiration by their bravery over the north but this kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a civil war. with the terrorists criminals murderers and i believe 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 any other video 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. my friend mark in this video

camera says the fight must go on it warns this will happen to anyone who cooperates 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 all our lives. the whole world wants to see a political transition from this illegitimate regime team to actually see one that can take care of its people many however fear that should such people force assad to leave since like these will become a familiar occurrence and have little faith in 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 supporting his opponents fears mountie in syria that it's the people that will pay the ultimate price. 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 all say action russia and china say they won't allow military interference in syria and may list expert terry o'reilly believes it's no no coincidence that opposition claims of army atrocities and how much countering crucial foreign diplomacy syria. i have seen evidence now from journalists in the field i've crossed. who insist there are crossing t's carried out by the syrian national council on bail when i say from supporters of preaching 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 the 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 their country it is not only our so they have been 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 the world 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 now and also in the region

antigovernment protests in bahrain ondine down despite the authorities by an opposition rallies they were fresh clashes between demonstrators and rise but he saw saturday and it's forecast that confrontations will escalate between the ruling sunni monarchy and the majority shiite population and american academic colin powell who spent a lot of time in the region says a crime down on dissent in bahrain makes the country's criticism toward syria illegitimate. the lead. continuing to be very scary and there is pro-democracy opposition supported well with three quarters of the barbie lation firing tear gas canisters. or injuring many of the protestors and killing some of the all people in the boat just because there's only two. of course the georgians continue the daily and continue.

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 the main street was the banks profits are obscene the fact that these governments are bailing them out continuously it's just simply that i'm conscious of that now of course the people realize these have they are upset about it but of course the politicians do absolutely nothing to rein in the part of the gangsters and instead what are the police to start to be very bold about it fracking and not solving the problems that we have we have on the one hand and out of control financial sector which is basically raping the public our tilt and on the other hand you have necessarily to be very very generous social safety net that had been promised but simply this promise to come out because this is to be too expensive this is just a recipe for more and more social this engine that we're going to see throughout

the e.u. . meanwhile across the mediterranean in green is the economic woes that have fueled a rise in racial intolerance violent attacks on immigrants has surged as extreme right wing views get a bigger voice in parliament following last month's elections party pledges include raiding the country of all immigrants and urging volunteers to donate blood only to greeks jake and greece now reports. around the country crumbles some parts of greece are seeing firm foundations take root. we want a nationalistic state to go back to where they came from the word of an elected official 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 the public anger get that if you ask me about violence i would have to say yes we do have violence and not the violence you're suggesting it is the

violence that thousands of jake suffer from those going to foreigners that we've allowed to go into can lead in our lives there was just. racism from the podium of scandals including physically assaulting a politician of. the party still secured around seventy percent of the vote in the parliamentary elections. campaigning with a promise to throw you sick immigrants out of the whole birds of the century pledge is having dark consequences as greece and in particular athens to see the spine the number of the crimes that have seen. almost they are that's the part that's by organized groups and by. very see me that these attacks are happening at night. whatever doesn't look great by people who are often for dead and armed with clubs. 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 is in neighborhoods like this in central athens where an increasing number of attacks are taking place the so-called vigilante groups in discreet targeting ethnic minorities. victims say there's little point turn to the police they're just not interested. reeses immigrant influx is worse than any other e.u. country is a porous border with turkey that's where ninety percent of all those seeking refuge and to europe and in a country that's circling the drain and nationalist rhetoric is flooding into

mainstream politics anything that the lads waylaid the here are the votes of groups minutes hardest insists it's an e.u. wide problem which hardpressed greece ends up paying for twice with a doubling to agreement what happens is once one illegal immigrant is been caught in there in another place in europe he's going back to the country that he entered in europe and absent that means they end up in greece all athens pleads for more you support the refugees just keep on coming the danger for them is not the trouble they're fleeing from the fire of extremism they're entering j.q. greece r.t. happens. and you can had a line for all the stories we're covering for you guys so i don't hear what else you can discover a gas station a trunk and a crash but one very lucky escape for those motorists for whom filling up his time

a screeching way the country's lower house of parliament has given the green light to a bill forging such organizations to register as foreign agents so such groups will have to undergo financial they should regular reports on their activities failure to do so could mean heavy fines or even two years in jail it's caused a storm within russian society with criticism that is restrict civil liberties but those behind the law say the measures will help boost transparency but the u.s. also weighed in against the bill despite having almost identical in education itself and with more is our washington correspondent and that chick on. the west hurried to dub the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s please show the money flow where is the money coming . toward you or your organization so you get transparency get regulation 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 an agent of the country. now that again that's that's not a negative but it means that you are representing the country and there has to be no if you get paid or in the 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 that heated him i was a representative from st petersburg we promoted to come in cooperation to reason cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic two meters 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 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 us argues the difference is that their law doesn't address nonprofit organizations but many see another difference but he knew that the us 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 as ations 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 separate state 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 is 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 a broad range open. send transparency in the sponsors of this washington bill or 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. a recount of this
