it's not just diplomacy. russia's top diplomats slams us grabs that moscow will pay the price for syrian on rats and accuses foreign powers of blackmail over u.n. action against their. firsthand accounts of beatings torture and raids on the brain as our team talks to a journalist kicked out by the regime later this hour eyewitness reports of the brutality against team owner. and football's new man at the top backs england supreme palo its term as russia's had to call.

it six pm in the russian capital this is archie coming to you live on a nice now away with our top story this hour in moscow says it's under arm twisting tactics from foreign partners who want to push through a u.n. resolution on syria which could allow the use of external force. but. unfortunately we've even seen some elements of blackmail i consider it talk to be counterproductive and dangerous approach because it is unacceptable to use the observers as a bargaining chip for the. largest crater all over has been after that conference heard the words from the foreign minister p. what kind of bargain is circular talking about here. well what russia wants to see is the extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria now they proposed

a resolution to the un security council which says just thus now some of russia's foreign partners have come forward and said yes we'll vote for your resolution if you vote for the second resolution has been put put forward by countries such as the united states and great britain now the wording of the second resolution is open to interpretation it could see forward at military intervention in syria now this is something that russia have always been against they don't want to see any foreign military intervention because they don't want to see the situation in syria turn out the same way as the situation in libya prompting sergei lavrov to say that well russia feels blackmails let's go back to comments that were made a little while ago by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in which she said china and russia were to blame for the ongoing conflict in syria saying that essentially they had blood on their hands and would have to pay a price no foreign minister lover of reacting well less than pleased he could say to those comments saying that this wasn't the way that the plane was he should be

done to negotiate some acceptable to blame it all on russia and china and especially to resort to threats like they will pay for this which is beyond not just diplomacy rules but he comes decencies so far it's the syrian people who are peacefully and willingness of some of our foreign partners to observe the u.n. security council decisions. well those syrian people it's a lover of mention they're all the ones that russia wants to see decide the future of the country there have been claims that russia is supporting the assad government these were dismissed out of hand. with those little us that we need to convince to step down voluntarily that is simply unrealistic but this is not about our preferences likes or dislikes he will not step down not because we came up but because he has the support of a significant part of the country's population. foreign minister lavrov the setting

out russia's stall when it comes to the ongoing crisis in syria all of this of course coming as kofi annan is in the midst of his all important visit to moscow to discuss the future of the conflict ridden middle eastern country. dr ali mohamed editor in chief of the syria tribune website says those powers who are trying to blackmail russia wanted the country banned under their ultimatums we have seen them agree on something and then do the exact opposite on the ground we have seen them support the. militia with weapons with money with. even. talks a few days ago about. support and we all know what that meant in libya so they are trying to create a situation where russia has absolutely no option but to do what they want. unfortunately for them this jewish ng is not being created because of the unity and . the syrian army and because of the awareness of the.

foreign policy as well as the allies foreign policy such as china and specially russia. with artie's still to calm israel a blaze way up in the social round the jewish state after a man that's themselves on fire to protest the prime minister's policies he claims are dropping the people. and doomsday fears are spreading across europe are teammates in austria and so certain of your own demise he's already stocking up on fuel and food. but first fresh protests have flared in bahrain despite the ruling monarchies declaration that all forms of public demonstrations are now banned in the latest clashes police and troops fired shotgun rounds and tear gas at demonstrators the police response to be on raft was immediate with hundreds of raids on the homes of suspected protesters and dozens of arrests we

spoke to someone who witnessed the brutality on the streets filmmaker and veteran human rights activist john marlow before being kicked out of bahrain she was one of the few western journalists left in the country she says the situation is more desperate than many believe. what i witnessed is an increasing increasing repression against the pro-democracy and human rights activists in the short time that i was in bahrain i felt like the situation was actually deteriorating and house raids and arrests and attempts to silence free speech are all intensifying right now in bahrain from what i could see it is across the country it is it is extremely widespread and in villages and towns all over bahrain there is violent repression of attempts to demonstrate and it's. to protest even more alarming much more increase of house raids at night in middle of the night in villages all over

riot police coming in and surrounding houses brutally arresting people and imprisoning them taking people from restaurants swimming pools their private homes . this practice of targeting activists and demonstrators fortunately seems to be on the rise and very widespread right now and only time will tell i guess how or how long they will be able to keep struggling but i did not see any signs of people giving up i saw signs of people reinvigorated the bahraini regime is very determined not to let what's happening be exposed and so anyone who's going to bahrain with the purpose of the agenda of trying to show what's happening and trying to really expose the reality on the ground there is jeem wants to keep them out and keep them silent as much as possible. figure

of bahrain's largest opposition party says all protesters are demanding an end to tyranny. the country is. a minority within the community it's not sectarian it's related to rulers want to dominate the thing . and. you might not see the hundreds or thousands but i can assure you that that although there will be hundreds of. despite all. this is this is happening because not because the people want to end it there and then still in this because that list them in their minds that they want to be the boat the so so. that it isn't butting in. but you can find more on all our stories that are t. dot com here's a look at what's lined up for you right now atomic powered merchant ships given the go ahead by ukrainian lawmakers a midwestern suspicion it's

a cover for developing nuclear weapons. and a brand new world class racetrack opens its doors in the moscow region with hopes that it could hold formula one races in the future. here with r t live from moscow the hearing in the case of bradley manning the jailed u.s. soldier accused of leaking bast amounts of data to wiki leaks begins today the twenty four year old jailed now for two years faces the serious charge of aiding the enemy which you've proven could see him on death row but more now on the alleged whistleblowers plight with bridgette the youngest daughter member of the ass land of parliament and a campaigner to the nominate manning for the nobel peace prize thanks for being

with us manning's lawyers claim he's being treated worse than a convicted terrorist or his alleged crime is really comparable. absolutely now we have to remember blown the whistle is not the crime and. what he has been accused of. these everything but a crime he is accused of only whistle and very serious crimes within the military is that as well and i think the condition is he is being kept under in particular. want to go. beyond what people think. in relation to the lower despite the fact that he was in the military. and he was only because of. the actions and. actions of people.

and led to the attention being drawn to the fact that bradley manning was kept on through torture conditions for a whole year and unfortunately one of these actually feel that the president obama even if that three trials or the trials hadn't even started. said on camera he thought that bradley manning this field to me so bradley manning is never going to get a fair trial under normal circumstances in the united states is this is the. and so i think it is extremely important that people who can make can so so where all of. his situation and what he stands accused but still a lot of people do consider and call manning a traitor that he threatened national security in the states why does your group think that he deserves the nobel peace prize. well by giving people access to information that indeed to get nearly the true horror of war

we've killed. he's what he stands accused of has contributed to. more discussions about the importance of access to the information that should rightly remain in the public domain and it's speeded up the process of the. pull out of the morning iraq and hopefully it will have some impact in afghanistan i know i am actually serving on the nato parliamentary assembly and. i have cause to very much for that the assemblies and of the police there would create a report based on the afghan war logs and to my great delight who report. all of the african war looks at fifteen conduct and it is considered to be one of the best points in the situation in afghanistan and that is. the native parliament is

something. do you think cases such as bradley manning's and julian assange will discourage future whistleblowers or just feel public interest in the disclosure of government secrets. i think it's obvious that the government is trying to make. as sort of a scare tactic case on bradley manning to scare people from blown the whistle and of course the class families getting says well is supposed to scare people off but what is actually done is it's have they reversed the impact there is no more discussion about it was a blowers and the importance that was blowing all over the world and because we haven't had a discussion about this since then you also heard the importance of little blowing and as the world is becoming more and more strained it in secrecy well of course corruption thrives. i think this is i don't think i've seen it.

all in florida so much. so if you want to process all of it when it is actually was a glowing into a positive light you know world and i think this is an extremely important it's ten minutes right thank you. daughter a member of the icelandic parliament and a campaigner to nominate bradley manning for the nobel peace prize thank you thank you very much. there more oil has been poured on the fire of israel it's social protest mass rallies marking the movement's first anniversary have been spurred on by an act of self-immolation thousands of people have gathered in the streets as archie's pulse clear reports after what we've seen now is the whole issue of economic and social concerns been back in the mainstream israeli discourse and this comes in light of the anniversary protests hold this past weekend of around the

country marking those social protests that were held in the summer months of last year if you remember those demonstrations for the largest number of israelis in this country's history take to the streets of this country now the protests climax on a saturday night when an israeli form a small businessmen sitting south on fire he's currently fighting for his life is in critical condition and he's suffering from a second and third degree burns the sense that he did this because the israeli government was literally robbing him of his livelihood and his future now since saturday there have been solidarity protests held around the country on sunday at least two thousand people took to the streets of a major highway here in tel aviv in jerusalem there were clashes between protesters and police in front of the prime minister's residence and what we're seeing from organizers of these demonstrations is a hope that this incident has injected a new anger and a new passion that will mobilize israelis that. on to the streets these protests

also have a throwback to the occupy wall street demonstrations we saw last year at that time there were slogans similar being valued across here in israel people calling these demonstrations occupy his role as indeed the anger and frustration at the government and the fact that it's done so difficult since last year to address real social concerns as that anger grows people making a parallel between what happened here in israel with this man moshe solomon setting himself on light with the street vendor who set himself on fire back in december two thousand and ten the netanyahu government following those this demonstrations last who did sit up a committee to investigate but most israelis feel that it has done little to precious and nothing to actually address the concerns the justification by the government has been that it has more pressing concerns such as bad of a nuclear iran the question of ongoing violence in syria to to to to address what many people here feel that this is merely an excuse not to put attention on the

very real concerns at the same time there's also the feeling here talking to protest organizers that these demonstrations could move from economic protests to political considerations there is of course the arab spring which never quite moved into its role although there were rumblings and so in today's newspapers and some opinion columns here coming to say that perhaps this could be the spark that will see the arab revolution finally be firmly implanted cells in israeli society. well israel is the latest word over the goshi ation tour by u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton where the jewish state's ties with troubled egypt will top talks but post-election political standoff in cairo is also up for debate in cross talk coming up next hour here on r.t. . what's the point of having elections if you're elected and you can sit in your position of power you know we're in a situation transition i mean we're talking about

a country that hasn't. margaret thousands of you had successful elections they had to use a lot of going around that's going on right now if we go if we play it out in sequence and it's likely that it's likely to foundation for this process then there are possibilities that it can succeed stephen thinks that what we're watching is a transition is a muddy transition where people are stumbling around making mistakes and having teaching moments ago them grow from i'm not sure that we're in the midst of a transition we might be in the midst of a retrenchment. former england manager fabio capello have been named russia's national football coach it's been confirmed by the country's football federation all the details of his contract are yet to be finalized andrew farmer from our two sport has more on the move. capello a massive name in football famous for leading england for the last four years he

did step down from there after falling out with the english f.a. but i mean apart from his success of getting them to the euros he did it all to get them to the world cup in two thousand and ten not a successful campaign that has to be said that was part of the reason he went but he comes with a great track record before he took over england he won the champions league he also won league titles in italy and also in spain with major clubs so he's a big fish in the footballing world and he when he was. in charge of england he did around about six million pounds a year and it was thought in the media that if anyone could perhaps compete with that sort of salary would be the russians were not sure what his salary would be but they have said in the build up to this that he would be a man that would be prepared to stay and work in russia which is something big africa and the guus hiddink the manager before him didn't do. well look now at some other stories making international headlines this hour thousands have gathered in

tokyo demanding japan abandoned nuclear power ahead of the restart of a second reactor all of the country's plants were shut down for safety inspections after the earthquake and tsunami triggered last year's fukushima disaster last month saw the first reactor turned back on the country's prime minister says some atomic energy must be reintroduced to sustain an adequate power supply. five hundred people have been evacuated from resorts and hotels as blazes engulfed the island of sardinia off the west coast of italy firefighters have begun have been mobilized with helicopters dumping water to try to control the flames so far for firemen who have been injured high temperatures are being blamed for the number of forest fires raging across the country. there have been clashes in madrid after protests against austerity measures firefighters and civil servants civil servants there tried to march on spain's part of them and

plainclothes police also joined the demonstrations coming up against their own as riot police mad metal fences protecting the government building is the latest outburst of public anger at deficit cutting reforms and now i'm saying right there . all the last week. well not just the spanish but also citizens of central and northern european states are getting more and more disillusioned with their leaders attempts to deliver solutions are just like summer boy got to talk to one austrian who believes it's time for people to save their own skin. it seems like a place where the grass is always green and where every cloud has a silver lining but even in this ideal exciting in western australia there are fears of an economic doom as the. last few years has been converting his house into fully self-sufficient residence and his reasons

a purely economic. influence on economics we got the worst case scenario we're preparing for is the total collapse of the economy there would be problems with food electricity water supply so i want to make sure we could waste this time when money will be worthless. solar panels wind turbine and emergency generator he's now producing more than two thirds of the power he needs the cows in the garden should provide a backup if supermarkets. and in case of fuel shortages there is also a radial turn in chief. while this scenario may seem to apocalyptic believes the euro collapse and the ensuing social upheaval is a matter of when rather than if the. politicians keep talking about decreasing debts but what they do is just to prove. that a new steps no new solutions and what to do about this whole situation the rude awakening is coming we all hope to postpone it but eventually it will come out of

the. still ask us to change his name and not to give out his address out of concern that in case of the total collapse his euro proof refuge will be inundated by the angry and the hungry as the fears are not entirely foreign to many europeans especially of an older generation this part of the war appears to be rather their forefront of the cold war and preparing for the worst was part of the government's contingency plans but the idea that calamity mekon from them in europe rather than outside is relatively new and therefore all the more frightening after day kids of increasing crisp area the thought of losing basic comforts is still rather hard to take in for many northern europeans but on the other hand a few years ago their southern neighbors couldn't imagine that soup kitchens would become so popular in greece or that food aid would be in such demand in spain some

people say the gold care for the government. i'm responsible for myself let's say about fifty percent of the. citizens may think in this way. but the majority will say no government we pay our taxes and so for we expect that we get. supplied by the government while the nissho infuse the hours behind the euro project was at least partially based on the rx to reach the stream an increasing number of europeans are now fearing the opposite tradition of the artsy reporting from western austria. later this hour we'll speak to an influential british businessman who's offering a big prize for anyone who can put forward a bright idea on how to rescue the struggling euro so that's coming up after business check in now with k.v. and the battle for russia's third largest oil firm t m k b p goes on it does indeed n.a.s.l. on and on it does all the russian billionaires who own halls of the angry russian
