hello and welcome to all t. twenty four hour news live from moscow i'm here to ship of all with the latest news and a review of the week's events fast they resort region of crossing a dying day south of russia is picking up the pieces after the oneness natural disaster in its history flash flooding killed over one hundred seventy people and destroyed thousands of problems. in the region for us. it was a night of cheer for the people of greensburg in almost an instant the small town was virtually swept away by a torrent of rain and mud deluged by a giant wave of up to seven meters most of the buildings there but indeed it was lucky to survive in a sudden turning to walk up his wife and son before rushing to help an elderly disabled neighbor. experience what a rose immediately with dread to do something to save our belongings but the water was everywhere it was high time was saved ourselves and we climbed up onto the roof

spaces others were not so lucky with many elderly people in particular found amongst the dead in the morning to reuters desperately needed help fresh 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 philanthropist but earlier with john over two gifts for children after an appeal on facebook 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 gathered whatever we could in one day and we gathered does. 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 continued some spread both social media triggering a second wave of panic for hundreds of people 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 are volunteers baby. 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 shirts car i mean an earthquake there and 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 but those left with nothing and even though it may take weeks and months to get things back to normal the

scarman in southern russia is just refusing to give up even though the town has been badly here that 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. and a timeline on the tragedy that swept through southern russia is available on our website and there's plenty more on this story at r.t. dot com you can feed photos and footage from the scene of the disaster that devastated towns and communities in the south and. moving on now u.n. observers probing a mass killing in syria's hama province have confirmed the regime is claims that its military was targeting rebel fighters in the area this contradicts the opposition's reports of a civilian massacre something the u.s. and its allies rushed to support her if a national brings us more from the capital damascus. but you're an observer trim mission 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 they've concluded that an attack apparently by the governmental forces appeared targeted at specific houses and specific groups especially i mean to faxes and to 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 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 applies forces from abroad and especially from turkey while problems 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 his and. government to step down you know 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. the media. 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 norm 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 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. in this video of the voice behind the 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 type 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 jean to actually see one that can take care of its people maybe how we 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 targeted 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 fear is mounting and syria but this is the people who pay the ultimate price. for

a flush r t from damascus in syria. a blast has hit a security force bus in the capital damascus reportedly wounding several people is the latest in a string of attacks on government sites which the authorities blame on terror groups and middle east expert gunter mayer says the unrest has not a fight greatly with the government now forced to wage war against militants who have infiltrated syria. the situation is calm changed 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 are the only purpose to fight. government and as far as western media are concerned well they follow the general pattern would started from the beginning the victim or the rogue is bashar said and we have to all the same it's 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're 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 by an opposition rallies hasn't stopped and the regime demonstrators from taking to the street despite first clashes under arrest actually its promise to ask a late they protect and american academic kannan has spent a lot of time in the region a crown down on dissent and bahrain makes the country's criticism towards an adjournment. the al khalifa are continuing to be very scary as pro-democracy opposition is a quarter mile with three quarters of the barbie lation are firing tear gas

canisters. injuring many of the protesters and killing some of the older people just blame the protests because this is deadly. and of course the georgians continue the jailing continue and how areas to many observers and international about the fact that the so-called friends of syria are being backed by the mold autocratic monarchy in the world saudi arabia. bahrain regimes that have no history of democracy at all put why do this free syrian army bunch of mercenaries have no legitimacy and along with bahrain saudi arabia have been stepping up its plans our anti-government rallies activists say two men were killed in the oil rich eastern province after police opened fire on clash has triggered by the arrest of a prominent shiite cleric last sunday extra shapes have been deployed to the area

to prevent further rallies by the shia population which has long complained of discrimination by the ruling family. and abbas to come for you in the program including a look at how immigrants are now playing the price paying rather the price of greece's financial woes so at times friends of extreme right wing functions galvanized public anger and paid for it is this sort of greece's trouble. darcy investigates the mysterious rancher in the last mountainous mountains allegedly harboring russian children adopted by american foster parents and later abandoned. on the second day of her visit to egypt u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has met with field marshal hussein tardy chief of the country's armed forces clinton urged him to hand over power to islamist president mohammed morsi as quickly as possible and more now on the secretary's

visit to egypt and ordered hopes to achieve by a blogger and journalist mr ask and i thank you very much for joining us how much of an impact do you think clinton's pleas will have on the field marshal given that the u.s. funds about a third of egypt's military budget i don't think that it would have a very strong impact but nevertheless it gives a some sort of a green light that the struggle between the military and the brotherhood is fair game that they may struggle for power as long as they don't do anything to drastic to affect u.s. interests and so i think the whole. visit will just reinforce that the u.s. is supporting the current power structures as they are. how is u.s. influence and egypt being perceived by the people that washington did after all support mubarak for decades. well what

well washington has always been supporting the power structures that serves its purposes respective of whether they are dumb and democratic or not so currently they really don't care what kind of forces are there as long as they give the us what it actually requires which is the foreign policy not to interfere with it and to make sure they have political and military allies whatever the news is a new system when a new regime is in egypt and the military surely the longer they hold on to power the more hostile the situation could become so why won't they make the transition. the middle of the it's true in the us realized. very well that the longer the military hold on to power the more destabilizing it will be and they are not equipped to handle any of the current

situations that face the country and we're facing an economic crisis but the military in itself has a lot of economic interest in egypt and they control. the country from behind the scenes for for sixty years anyway it's only recently that they've come to the forefront what they're trying to achieve is is to make sure that they the new system gives them the same power that they've had during the mubarak time and this is why they're not transitioning to a civilian government they've lost a very important ally the n.d.p. and there is no clear replacement the u.s. realize that the muslim brotherhood can be that kind of replacement but the military still adamant and they always as always with the military chain regime in egypt they don't like to share power so much they want to make sure they have everything under control even from behind the scenes and this is why they're taking a very long time to try and transition because they want to make sure that the

transition is controlled in their favor let's turn now to more see how from your point he will egypt's relations with you as change. the the u.s. relations are with with the us. will changes as. actors will change the primary actors the us has had some trouble for dealing with the military especially with the ngo crisis that happened last year and and the military are stubborn and they they don't really want to listen to everything in egypt wants. the u.s. want to tell them to do so they so it's a bit problematic but i think that what the u.s. is trying to do right now is to wait for to see who wins in the political battle that is ongoing between the muslim brotherhood and the military and reinforce the power structure that results out of that so i don't think there is any fundamental

change in the position of the u.s. and the relations between the u.s. and and egypt but the change will be with actually with the with the specific entities with which the u.s. will deal and the way they will operate will changed slightly of course while asking doubt and journalist well thank you very much indeed. thank you. how about come to streets of spain this week pent up public rage with the government has started to drive spilled into clashes with police has suspended by miners began this wednesday the funniest reaction of the seventy people injured in this hearing riot clad cops find a problem that said the demonstrators with many activists beaten and detained the government in the trade this friday approved a new round of cuts a precondition to a eurozone rescue. and so feel that just calm this down with belief of that 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 a year 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 had any sense of decency or even a fragment of the dignity that miners and the 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 thinkable 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. meanwhile on the other side of the military and

in greece austerity driven writing and protests have morphed into something much more sinister their violent attacks on immigrants as surging as extreme right wing factions a rebel rebel in their new found public support they've pledged to rid the country of all immigrants and all even urging volunteers to damage blood to greeks only graves now from athens. for all round the country crumbles some parts of greece are seeing firm foundations take root. and 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 for public anger 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. 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 bad times by organized groups head by turns very see me these attacks are happening at night and they're wherever doesn't integrate by people who are often for dead and armed with clubs. came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn. somalia

but he's found no peace in athens and ultimately 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 disco targeting ethnic minorities. victims say there's little point turn to police but just not interested. greece's immigrant influx is worse than any other e.u. country is poorest border of turkey 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 anything that will add some way or lead to the here are the eventual groups minute tiredest 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 integral in the ground has been caught in there in another place in europe he's going back to the country that he ended in europe and absent that means they end up in greece well athens pleads for more e.u. support the refugees just keep on coming but danger for them is not the trouble they're fleeing from the fire of extremism they're entering j.q. griese r.t. happens. and you can have. more on all of our stories including an arrest in israel sounds of rally to mark a good as the start of

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 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 chill. by americans that was prompted by widespread outrage after
