hello welcome mrs arty from moscow you're watching the weekly a round up of the top stories of the last seven days with me kevin how in first the resort region of krasnodar in the south of russia is picking up the pieces of the worst natural disaster in its history massive flash flooding killed over one hundred seventy people and destroyed thousands of homes. in the region. 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 deluge by a giant wave of up to seven meters most of the buildings there but it was lucky to survive in the sudden panic you woke up his wife and son before rushing to help an elderly disabled neighbor with surprise them enjoying experience water rose immediately with trade 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 but that's. 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 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 john number two gifts were children after an appeal and facebook 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 still. 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 the 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 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 of thord to camp and say to the thames with cash and help to rebuild their homes or new ones for those left with nothing and even though it may take weeks and months to get things back to normal this current southern russia is just refusing to give up even though the town has. and badly hit it looks like the people of chremes have not lost hope and against all

odds they are staying and helping each other to rebuild their homes and their lives does ball ski r.t. cross and our region with a timeline of the tragedy of the swept through southern russia is available on our website there's plenty more on the story as well that r.t. dot com which is rich but for most day you can see photos and footage from the scene of the disaster that devastated towns and communities in southern russia. observers probing a mass killing in syria's hammer province have confirmed the regime's claims that its military was targeting rebel fighters in the area now that contradicts opposition reports of a civilian massacre something the u.s. and its allies had rushed to report what is mayor for national brings us more from the capital damascus you may find some of the images coming up in this report now setting. but you're an observer trim mission here in syria has visited the village of tromso 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 government to forces took place on the ground but this concludes is 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 fortunate this have 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 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 did this village when they saw

a solo 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 the 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 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 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 explain why this man was hanged and which he helped the syrian regime and was killing the rebels they say can i mean. on behalf of all friends let me express my admiration by their bravery. but this kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a civil war. with a terrorist group of those murderers 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 video whose origin is hard to establish these men say they captured the syrian air force officer then they dispense even more rough justice but united states will continue providing non-lethal assistance to help those inside syria who are carrying the fight to organize and better communicate. i found marty in this video 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 all our lives the whole world wants to see

a political transition from this illegitimate regime i seem 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 could become a familiar occurrence and have little faith in a western force democracy. where the democracy in the girls 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 feet is mounting in syria this is the people who pay the ultimate price. refresh our tea from damascus in syria. much more still ahead this half hour of news an hour to including a look at how immigrants pay the price of greece's financial woes racist attack. as

extreme right wing factions galvanized public anger and pain for and this is the source of greece's troubles report coming up also bring you up to date as well on the foreign funded groups to gauge the russian politics that may soon face tough financial examination washington's crying privacy infringement though as we report exercising the same board. on the streets of spain this week is pent up public rage over the government's austerity drive spilled over into clashes with police mass protests but mine has begun this wednesday the place reaction so over seventy people injured in clashes riot clad cops fired rubber bullets at the demonstrators many activists being detained now the government in madrid this last friday approved a new round of cuts a precondition to the eurozone rescue deal for ailing spanish banks i spoke to sociologists were still close in the week he believes that after this 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 bad. is or is 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 they had any sense of decency or even a fragment of the dignity that the 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 in 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. on the other side of the mediterranean greece was driven rioting and protests of wolf to dissent thing much more sinister there violent attacks and immigrants is extreme right wing functions revel in their newfound public support they've pledged to rid the country of all immigrants and reve volunteers to donate blood to greeks only jacob graves reports now from athens . all the way around the country crumbles some parts of greece at the same firm foundations take root. here and that we want a nationalistic state at the bottom should go back to where they came from the word a little bit to the fish as unemployment rose 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 can get it that's 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 geeks suffer from the thought that those going to foreigners that we have a light in government can lead in our lives that are now there was this ballsy and racism from the podium at the scandals including physically assaulting a politician 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 the health beds and the sentry pledge as having dark consequences as greece and in particular athens i've seen a spike in numbers of the crimes that have seen. almost day out that's the bad times by organized groups headed by certain savary see me that these attacks are happening at night and there wherever doesn't a break by people who are often for dead and armed with clouds. came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn somalia but he's found no peace in athens.

if i'd known what it was going to be like here i would never have left somalia tribal have to 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 now. it's in neighborhoods like this in central athens where an increasing number of attacks are taking place the so-called vigilant see groups in disc are targeting ethnic minorities. victims say there's little point turn to police they're just not interested. reeses 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 into europe and in a country that circling the drain and nash rhetoric is flooding into mainstream

politics i think that the. the here are the groups minutes hardest insists it's an e.u. wide problem which hardpressed greece ends up paying for twice with the agreement what happens is once one illegal immigrant is been caught. in the other place in europe he's going back to the crown tree but here in the europe and. the means they end up in greece. pleads for. the refugees just keep on coming the danger for them is not the trouble but from the fun of extremism to entering you greece. politically active nonprofit groups working in russia refunded from abroad may soon come under tough scrutiny a bill of forces such organizations to register as foreign agents has passed its

first stage of approval in the country's lower house of parliament the groups who have to undergo financial audit some submit reports about their activities otherwise they'll face heavy fines or even jail critics immediately labeled the move an attack on civil liberties while supporters say help police transparency now the u.s. has slammed the pill despite having introduced an almost identical law with more of a washington correspondent. the west hurry to dump the proposed legislation as a kremlin crackdown on n.g.o.s poll shows the money flow where is the money coming . toward you or your organization so you get transparency you get regulation you get some 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 again that's that's not a negative but it means that you are representing the country. and. if you. were on a questioning look of us 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 who promoted economy corporation to reason cultural ties nevertheless the u.s. justice department which more new touristic tutors of foreign agents insisted that representatives of c.d.'s also register disappointing agents some version of the law doesn't even include known political actors like that used 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 but he knew that the u.s. doesn't have thousands of whoring organizations which work to change its constitution to change its leadership but in russia do you 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 who's 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

sector estate 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 so they get some of their funding from from the government of the united states anyway so and she is saying that there. the certainly do and they are certainly going to either get it over only and maybe she's hinting at covertly i don't now many of the ngos in russia which get their financing from abroad to preach openness and transparency in the sponsors of this russian bill or i do 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. . we invite you to head to our web site r.t. dot com for more all the stories we're covering there now unrest in israel thousands rally to mark a year since the start of mass social protests in the country with one man in tel

aviv setting himself on fire we brought you that report last night when you see more pictures of the whole protest there is about to go prom also. another successful blast off the go japanese u.s. and russian astronauts heading into water to carry out a unique scientific experiment but have a few hours ago you watch the full video of the incredible job isn't every time with rockets goes up but r.t. dot com. on the second day of a visit to egypt u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton met with field marshal who saying turn towie he's chief of the country's armed forces that a day after she spoke with the country's newly elected is the misleader mom of mercy and according to don de bar an antiwar activists and journalists is supposed to be the u.s. has decided long ago who it would be backing. i think the u.s. would like to see the appearance of the military backing down with the military actually continuing to wield power but i do believe that clinton would like to at least firm up and get again some legitimacy for the military to try to make them an

equal partner because i think that that leaves the united states free to do all kinds of machinations going forward and that's there at that certainly we go this is what one thinks of the muslim brotherhood and there are segments of that aligned with the u.s. there are opposition in power right now rests on the backs of the people in the streets and as long as that's true those people in the streets have power that i think the united states would like to negate. a deal to help safeguard children adopted by families in the united states has been ratified by the russian parliament the changes come hot on the heels of chilling examples of abuse against russian children by their adoptive american parents did a question of a reports. just some eight kilometers from the canadian border towns are remote trains hidden in the mountains and forests of this fourth quest for it all for us 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 it's almost impossible to discover the fate of these neglected children last week russia's children's fries commissioner pavel was to help try to visit the range but it was denied access to the children living there. they were assuming lies about the real conditions of two hundred directed by us parents 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 there were already just days before my visit 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 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 kind of by god though was beaten to death by his american foster parents. it is ours and this harrowing sample from twenty ten when an american mother held herself punishing her adoption is russian. why did you lie to me. even if you did. this works and. what is what you think to me.

was what you mean. jessica vaguely was charged with child abuse and i don't think there is untold numbers of children who have been and are being abused but it isn't stable and so it doesn't make the 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 u.s. and while some may well have found loving families nobody knows just how many are suffering the fate of little yvonne's kind of i got the final question artsy reporting from los angeles california so a story. of the quick recap of this week's top stories for in a couple of minutes time we're following that we're chewing over the issue of how much good food simply thrown away by american supermarkets each and every day that

so that example looks that here on our team from. nearly a billion people in the world are going hungry every day. in the united states even our trash cans are filled with food you just have to go get it all of these

perfectly good eggs because one was cracked didn't even get all over the other ones just threw them all away and she was from the german oh. we really like the upper five. in the dumpster at one am this morning three pm this afternoon on the grill the cake is made from and one doesn't dumpster egg white. and delicious breakfast for the family make some toast for about a week every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of food. one needs of spare time to obtaining inner peace and spirituality.

craftsmanship and creativity requires special conditions. are met accuracy and knowledge on the attributes of solitude here. those who are behind bars get freedom of cell to expression. i've been using sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new it's most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach me is a creation why you should care about humans and world events this is why you should care watch only on r.g.p. dot com. so for us as in for new job the rates of. the rose of leukemia for example is thirty eight times but. breast cancers more than

ten times told cancers fourteen times if you get the exact details but the shoes numbers there's not nothing that you have ever found in any epidemiological study anywhere ever there is a way that brings victory. to its creator. he's not allowed on some are more severe than others we have something that is born without skulls without organs and sometimes with their legs totally twisted but means death to those who it's pointed out back now and the man who owns to those. this one of them. and they're celebrating and they don't realize they're looking at their own future cancer and. this is just.

so science. i have. leakage and i'll show you to the extent how much i have leakage.
