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 thousands of emergency workers people from all walks of life rushed to crimps medical students assisted doctors vaccinating survivors fashion model and to learn trip especially over john over two gifts for 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 gathered this. tons of half of it is still. 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 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 put 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 of georgie's are to compensate 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. so

the pressure is just refusing to give up even though the dome 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. across the region. and the timeline of the tragedy that swept through southern russia is available on our web site and there's plenty more on this story. and there you can see photos and footage from the scene of the disaster that's devastated towns and communities in southern russia. un observers probing a mass killing in serious harm a province have confirmed the regime's claims that its military was targeting rebel fighters in the area this contradict suppositions reports of a civilian massacre something the u.s. and its allies a rush to support or if international brings us more from the capital 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 fierce clashes between the rebels and the governmental forces took place on the ground but this concludes that an attack apparently by the governmental forces appeared targeted at specific houses and specific groups especially on into faxes and opposition activists and this conclusion actually contradicts initial reports that we've been hearing from syrian opposition here that they've been very close and this is been a massacre the opposition has also claims that at least two hundred people most of whom 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 refused to surrender that's going to

intensify didn't this village when this assault officials have come to me to say that they've seized many weapons from what they call word terrorist 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 buys forces from abroad and especially from turkey while problems continues to rage everywhere call syria it's to 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 his and. government to step down in an effort to link i want to go to the demands of the armed opposition but it seems too far from his nuclear understanding

of exactly the are. these fighters of last year in 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 and 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 what really helped the syrian regime and was killing the rebels they say can i mean. on behalf of all fronts let me express my admiration by the bravery overt but this kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a signal. that the terrorists have created those murder i

believe is necessary for them to leave. 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 but well united states will continue providing non-lethal assistance to help those inside syria who are carrying the fight to organize and better communicate. kind of march in this media are the worst kind cameras says the fight must go on it warms peace 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. 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 and maybe how women fear that should such people force assad to leave since like these will 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 why some states still continuing to call on assad to leave and support in his opponents fears mounting syria that this is the people that will pay the ultimate price. my flush out sea from damascus in syria. and blast his head as

security forces bask in the capital damascus reportedly wounding several people it's the latest in a string of attacks on government science or stealth or his blame on terror groups and a middle east expert again term here says the rest has modified greatly with the government now forced to wage war against militants who have infiltrated syria. the situation is calm change completely there are still peaceful protest is but there's an increasing number not only of deserted army people but also of jihadists of islamic scientists who have the only purpose to fight. government and as far as western media are concerned well they follow the general pattern and which started from the beginning the victim the rochas bashar al assad and we have to also them it's the same strategy which hillary clinton promoted

right from the beginning and many of 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 and staying in the region bahrain's of an opposition rallies hasn't stopped until regime demonstrations from taking to the streets despite fresh clashes and arrests acts of its promise to escalate the protests american academically and come down has spent a lot of time in the regions as a crown down on dissent in bahrain makes the country's criticism towards syria illiterate innit. the al khalifa are continuing to be very scary. as pro-democracy opposition has a quarter mile with three quarters of the population are firing tear gas canisters . injuring many of the protesters and killing some of the older people in the

protest because this is. of course the georgians continue to jail and continue. and how areas to many observers and international about the. friends of syria are being backed by. autocratic monarch in the world saudi arabia. bahrain regimes that have no history of democracy and all. this free syrian army bunch of mercenaries have no legitimacy. and along with bahrain saudi arabia has been stepping up its quota down on to government run it is activists say two men were killed in the oil rich eastern province after police opened fire on a protest triggered by the arrest of a prominent shiite cleric last sunday extra troops have been deployed to the area

government in madrid this friday approved a new round of cuts precondition to eurozone rescue do for eighteen spanish banks and sociologist commas docos believes that after all of this is the prime minister should resign. the tendency is to think maybe that. protesters have become desensitized to all of the police violence because we've been dealing with it for years but today we saw pictures of you know images of an eleven year old child shot in the head with a rubber bullet ok we've seen we've seen policemen with no with no badges of course that's become you know standard operating procedure for them basically i don't know how much further they can really push it you know if you. well you had any sense of decency or even a fragment of the dignity that the miners and the protesters the indignados have that he would resign along with the rest of his government he's broken every campaign promise that he's made some even comical levels you know his entire party

was saying that raising the sales tax was you know one thing the bill and all that and now we have a twenty one percent sales tax and i think people are are wising up to this you know they see a lot of similarities between what was happening in this country forty fifty years ago and and what's happening today. and on the other side of the mediterranean in greece. rising and projects have moved into something much more sinister and violent attacks on immigrants searching as extreme right away in functions that wrap up when the new found public support they've pledged to rid the country of all immigrants and all even volunteers to donate blood to greeks only take a greece now from athens. all round the country crumbles some parts of greece acing firm foundations take root. in that we want a nationalistic state all of them should 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 increase the not the violence you're suggesting it is the violence that thousands of deeks suffer from the thought by those going to foreigners that we have allowed to govern accumulate in our land. despite spouting 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 all sick immigrants out of their 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 head by certain set of very seeming that these

attacks are happening at night and they're wherever doesn't integrate by people who are often for debt and armed with clouds. came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn somalia but he's found no peace in athens i want 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. there 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. it's in neighborhoods like this in central athens where an increasing number of attacks are taking place the so-called vigilante groups in disco 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's circling the drain and nationalist rhetoric is flooding into mainstream politics anything that the lads waylaid the here are the eventual groups minutes hardest insists it's an e.u. wide problem which hard pressed greece ends up paying for twice with a dublin two agreement what happens is once one illegal immigrant is been caught. in another place in europe he's going back to that country that he entered europe and. that means they end up in greece. pleads for support the refugees just keep on coming the danger for them is not the trouble they're

fleeing from the extremism but entering j.q. greece athens. have had to call for more on all our stories including under arrest in israel thousands rally to mark a kid says the start of last social protest in the country with one man in tel aviv even setting himself on fire. on the russian man who had to be rescued from their rubbish after he claims and angry toxic driver crime payments fined for not paying his back. as you know to help save children adopted by families in the united states has been ratified by the russian parliament they trend has come out on the heels of chilling

examples of abuse against russian children by the dr of american parents you know what do you know culture or how small. just some eight kilometers from the canadian border stands a remote trains hidden in the mountains and forests of this northwest part of the u.s. for many adopted children from russia who have found themselves abandoned once again this remote train in the state of montana has become their last resort after so much rejection but despite its noble goal care homes like this and there are several across the country are close to the outside world and it's almost impossible to discover the fate of these neglected children. last week russia's children's fries commissioner pavel is to help try to visit that range but it was denied access to the children living there. with their assume many lies about the real conditions of tutoring 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 our understand it they were all removed just days before my visit but 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 or oversee how they are doing with their new families once an adoption is foreign allies in any state in the united states that child is considered as is 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 caused

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 is a harrowing example from twenty. ten when an american mother held herself punishing her adoptive little russian little boy why did you like to be. meeting. your city like sydney what.

you saw was what you. just you could vaguely was charged with child abuse and there's untold numbers of children who have been and are being abused but it isn't stable and so it doesn't make headlines we have no way of knowing though there has been some progress in the political arena there were thousands of russian children fostered an adopted across the us and while some may well have phone loving families nobody knows just how many a suffering the fate of little events could have got to lead to the question are two reporting from los angeles california u.s. the secretary of state hillary clinton has arrived in egypt will have talks with the country's new day elected islamist president mohamed morsi she says that push for a completion of post revolution change in the country and for economic restoration middle east expert and independent journalist laurie everest they say the straits

america's eagerness to retain implants in the country. hillary clinton is claims she's there to help the egyptian people themselves determine their future but that's not what's going on line hillary clinton and the rest of the u.s. establishment are working in a very fraught situation to make sure the military and the military with which they have deep and warm standing by remains the dominant force in the egyptian state as it remains today and that the egyptian state which was so discredited under mubarak actually religion in my eyes and strengthened by incorporating new social forces like the muslim brotherhood there was no revolution in egypt state powell remains in the hands of the same institutions and class the brotherhood represents no one the mental break only of. egypt's role in the u.s.

dominated the all capitalist economy or a break with u.s. interests in the middle east the u.s. remains that dominant power it's trying to maintain that dominance in the new situation with new tactics in the wake of the arab spring as people are rising up against the old order of the u.s. to. me their grip on this region. as sony is rocket and it's a passing korea has successfully blasted off from the bike on its spaceport heading to the international space station for a full month mission to carry out a plan after out scientific experiments that to save them off. well now contant down the i.q. . of a japan as well as yuri malenchenko of russia as well as our sunita williams of the united states and it's almost

a list of all right now. because i was just. looking at how the human body and different materials react to the weightlessness environment of space they'll also be looking at how the body burns as well as a muscles i adapt and also be looking at different materials and finding out which are suitable for the harsh environments of space travel and they'll also be looking at how to make those materials all of this is to be explored in the name of research as well as in order to allow humans to venture father into the solar system where surely wishing them all the best until they get to their next home we'll be looking out to see what experiments they come back with and what research they come back with. and have a back with a quick recap of this week's top stories in a moment don't go away. the
