welcome to our team at half past the hour i'm karen taraji with your top stories a u.n. convoy comes under fire in what appears to be a rebel held area in syria while washington considers injecting pots of money into the opposition. press reports say millions of dollars aimed at training locals to maintain security in iraq and restoring infrastructure in afghanistan are going to waste as critics attack plans to send u.s. police across unstable regions of the world. and russian police get closer to solving the shocking mystery of more than two hundred human fetuses discovered in

the woods but the source revealed as a state institution. thanks to up on r.t.r. interview with the russian envoy for human rights constantine the golf who says the norms of international law around the world played much to be desired. thank you. thank our content freshened foreign ministries and woodsmen from human rights democracy and the rule of law it's great to have you with us again sir hello and good emotion is to be back next the arab spring has upset the balance of power in north africa and the middle east who witnessed islamist movements come to power across the region some are moderate but also the rise of radical islamism is

evident what threat do these radicals represent well first of all we. bring you a process which probably reflects certain objective phenomena in the in the region that was the movement which pretty much from within. are all of us lee there was certain external participation i would say or even some certain external prodding in those cases where the changes came from within stability in those cases in those countries is basically kept and we face fewer immediate dangers as far as extremism is concerned as far as the security there all of those countries and all of the joining regions is concerned. it is definitely different when. certain transformations certain political

changes being pushed from the outside then it's a different picture and. we keep reiterating that it's not only russia's view that you cannot bring about democracy from the i'll say democracy to become the result of the certain internal processes if we take for instance this issue which is which falls within my purview of my men the situation of the field of human rights and democratic development and rule of law. yes you're absolutely right the picture is not black and white and. we cannot say that. that human rights being insured. absolutely better. in the. certain countries of the region where the arab spring has occurred. it's still a long way it's still

a long way let's take for instance i mean pretty much all of them but let's take for instance libya let's take for a little when you talk about better like our human rights ensured at all when we were better off before the need to live in nation or now i don't know what will the the new government in libya do you know the elections and. when i see the new government there is a. government and you are thought to use they expressed their willingness to build the democratic libya to build libya which will live here to the basic human rights and democratic freedoms which is positive it's a long way and the picture once again is pretty much mixed because what we see now is unfortunately the violations of human rights to be to continue. in the way it is a result of the military conflict which raised in the country but still future is

ahead of this country and we hope that this future will be democratic we hope that human rights. in their you know in their entirety will be ensured for both the libyans and for the citizens of other countries what's going on with a two man two russian man who are serving their sentence in libya well i'm not a lawyer. i'm not sure whether this term serving their sentence is absolutely right because they have been sentenced. one of them to life time in prison another one to ten years in prison and we have expressed. our assessment of the of the sentences we think there are too harsh that they absolutely do not deserve such punishment and we think that the legal and.

legal processes have been faulted and have been flawed and. oh. the situation is that. the the lawyers and the russian embassy as with the russians has been very much supporting those efforts have appealed we hope that these sentences will be reviewed seriously reviewed we. strongly encourage the libyan authorities to. provide for all the basic rights. of our citizens in accordance with international standards. remains to bring our citizens because talking about bringing citizens back to russia victor boot is one example of how what he has defendants say is a criminal case invented by the united states just to remind our viewers

a picture of what is a russian business and who was arrested or kidnapped by the u.s. drug enforcement administration and sentenced to twenty five years in prison to serve in the united states and russia's foreign ministry has said many times that it would try to restore justice what's going to happen there where you think well the same goal we we are undertaking all necessary efforts to bring i was citizen back home. yes indeed we think that the sentence is unjust we think that the entire legal process. process which led to their sentence was absolutely political from beginning to em. political or politicized maybe you both the goal remains the same. we keep raising the issue of mr wood or

some other similar cases of mr yushchenko also russians of them who also has been has been. a else a pilot who had been extradited. to the united states and. i would. he also has been sent as i think the twenty years when you say it was a political case what exactly do you mean by american pressures rochelle what you know the reason lot of hollywood is in the in the story of mr bush i mean. i don't mean only that famous movie a lot of the war you know which we fortunately also became a factor in the which must not happen in the in the last year but but you know he was sentenced for as it was for intentions you know for inventions to commit something illegal in the use of in the eyes of the american system of justice you know what we've seen is of course lack of.

objective and impartial. legalistic approach one more issue we keep pushing the american authorities. to ensure. you mean conditions for our citizens in prison it is not good. russian citizens in american prisons being deprived of medical assistance for us and unfortunately we had to raise this issue more than once with americans both mr bush and mr africa. and you know the book is still in the one of the federal prisons and he is in a special cell for. the most. dangerous criminals he definitely does not in his present condition. in particular he does not represent any. clear and present danger to the security of the united states

president obama promised to close down guantanamo bay and one russian citizen is also serving a sentence in that prison but he hasn't been able to do that so far do you think it will be easier for him to accomplish that if he's reelected well there is still some time before the election so. i don't want to speculate about the upcoming american elections who will win and what will happen you know it's definitely the will of the american people but. this particular. problem is a good big you know in the you would read stormy because that particular prism is a very special institution and no norms of international law. be it international or international humanitarian law or you know they are not respected there is like a legal way cuba you know which one is going to suddenly or you used to be

whether it will be difficult by the income of the ministration and some people say the chances are slim. but their best to live their lives if there is a will is they say there is a way. or it will be tackled by the next administration and whatever the administration will be you know but it has to be tackled it is to be there because this is. a number evolved human rights problem just very briefly i want to get back to where we started talking about the arab revolutions syria is in the news a lot lately and if we observe. what happened and how things happened in countries like egypt tunisia libya all those arab countries that underwent revolutions what lessons are there to be learned for the syrian scenario you know i will stick to the humanitarian field the main lesson. is the

following the best way to prevent new casualties among the civilian population among the civilians the best way to ensure in the long term manner. respect for human rights respect for human dignity. definitely to stop till it is as soon as possible to strike and begin full fledge it national political dialogue. all constructive political forces in the country definitely has to happen without external interference civilians are the first to suffer we saw it in libya unfortunately where quite a number of civilians perished including under the nato strikes including under nato they did and it is still to be investigated by the way. which has not happened. you. by the way the national criminal court.

a u.n. convoy comes under fire and what appears to be a rebel held area and syria while washington considers injecting pots of money and to the opposition. press reports say millions of dollars aimed at training locals to maintain security in iraq and adverse drawing infrastructure in afghanistan are going to waste as critics attack plans to send u.s. police also unstable regions of the world. and russian police get closer to solving the shocking mystery of more than two hundred human fetuses discovered in the woods and with a source revealed as a state institution and more news in fifteen minutes and now it's time for sport with on mine.

hello and welcome this is for the arts are you with me wrong cost free of a lot of them fakes and the rest of the headlines first. match at saks in russia secure their second gold at the olympic games and again it's in judo. two goals in two games a leg even all remains the only score for today and the chechen side claim their first victory of the season against krasnodar. from dream to reality or russia's first ever professional motor sport track is prize out for the first time. and let's start with that's once it's well the london olympics where there's been another gold in judo for russia on day three with the details from london years and

reformer. so i want to start for russia i know we've only had three days of competition so far but russia have been amongst the medals for the third day running and there to date saying have got a second goal that came from montreal is dive in the seventy three kilogram category he beat japan's world champion ricky in a car in the final a man he hadn't beaten in six previous attempts and he did it with the yukon and that effectively means he threw his opponent on his side that happened in the final minutes of this five minute contest a true olympic champion who came into this contest ranked number four but he blew away a host of big names including south korea's ki-chan wang in the semifinal no doubt much to the delight of russia's judo loving president vladimir putin but of course no one is more delighted than is die of himself. i had a solid game plan for the clash my coach told me all i had to do it was crucial to neutralize him up with a stronger hand and prevent him from doing more moves towards it also ahead jewboy

. worked out. so joy for him but there was playing in the pool for russia and this is it came for the one hundred metres backstroke final she was second at the turn but lost out on the bronze medal to japan's i attended our american missy franklin got the gold with the strain is emily seebohm claiming the silver there is also more heartbreak for us female her hopes went without trace in the hundred meters breaststroke coming in seventh after coming forth in beijing with the way his teenage insatiate routinely t.j. taking the gold and the deal is a toss could not add to the bronze he got in sunday's relay finishing down the two hundred metres freestyle that was won by francis agnew gani favorite ryan lochte to his fourth well there was better news for russia's handball and basketball teams the women in those events both keeping one hundred percent records at these games with two wins from two incidentally the russian prime minister dmitri. added of

kissing every member of the handball team after their victory over great britain russia's men know in the artistic you know six didn't do you say well they didn't pick up a medal in the team final however the women do have a chance to shine in that event and choose day with more is richard on monday wasn't the best of afternoons for russia's male gymnasts but failed to get on the podium in the team event however on tuesday her tension turns to russia's women's gymnastics team as well try and fight it out for a medal well there's a lot of expectations on them and rightly so they managed to qualify in second place for the team final which will take place on tuesday and a couple of names which are well worth looking out for including victoria. she managed to finish in first place overall for in the period and also. watches russia's team leader and best gymnasts becomes has produced handsome years oh it has been difficult for her no she's just combined from

a very serious injury nevertheless former russian gymnastic. she's backing of the russian team to do well i'm sure is d. and try and bring home a medal but as you know me i was going through some hard times right now she was and she actually still is a leader but the young generation is catching up with her but she has been sort of a she's a fighter and i'm sure she'll be fine. one of the arms of a swimming pool where russia just one bronze to show for verified so far but they'll be looking to a certain improved dance on tuesday and first of all of it veronica shall be going women's two hundred metres freestyle will be a very difficult task for her to try and get on the podium but perhaps much more she's going to beat the russians two hundred these dates back to beijing in two thousand i mean silver well just a few days ago the men's four by one hundred metres freestyle relay team they managed to claim a bronze sun

a lot of expectation on them but they're. you could try and bring home a would be russia's second medal in nepal so far also very few chances in the archery well if you remember just a few days ago russia women's team they were on the brink of a medal in the team competition but just missed out on my points and getting a final in just two points on getting a bronze medal so will be seen if they can manage to get a medal in the individual events and voters had a bit more luck homicide couple of other events has to tell you about where russia might have outside chances once in the men's for oil fencing and the men's judo where russia have done very well so far winning two gold medals and also just rochelle beer be competing volleyball they got off to a great start with the first man to be taking on brazil her favorites really to win gold two thousand and twelve london olympics so visser be a great test for the russian side who are ranked second in the world and a baby can get a win over perennial foes the brazilians that's going to bode well for the rest of

the tournament and their hopes of trying to claim the men's volleyball gold medal so this is fast becoming one of the best ever start to an olympics for russia and president putin is jews who arrive in london in a couple of days' time so let's hope the russian team can keep that medal tally ticking over until then andrew farmer but our team london. and reformer and richard there from the lungs and now moving on to russian football where it's at a girls' and they have claimed their first win of the season after beating f.c. krasnodar one nail on home pitch it's a lot your chance of those men just eighteen minutes to secure the victory and they've given all headed home his second gold in just as many games so far this season and he stayed one male is today come on for the wind there now fifth in the standings with four points while across the dollar and seven with three.

there as well. four years ago view dram to moscow would have its very own world class more a sports wreck today even a month ago you could hear only workers here and the quake a scar was nowhere near formula one level but the dream finally came true and high octane action has found its home on the outskirts of the moscow region making any impact in international motor sport now a very real possibility for russia the building of the track began in two thousand and eight with a total cost to reaching one hundred fifty million dollars when it comes to it wants to get the best red money can buy they call herrmann to look at the global renowned architect who's designed numerous f one tracks around the world as it's a very technical track we have one part also talk is. the other half is so slow and very very tricky if you push too hard then you go

a little bit over the limit then you knows a lot of time and you have to have in mind that combination also calling us you don't need to concentrate on the cause you are in now you have to concentrate also on the next to call him in after four years of plenty and many more years of dreamy russia finally has its very own motor sports track then help is now that gold racers can develop their skills and their own country and maybe even for us to make their way into their one ranks. one man already did it dolly be thrown into when it's in the book or it became the first russian to make it into the sports stop and films securing his first podium finish at the season opening a struggling grand prix the following season and after two years spell it ran on the twenty seven year old driver now races with care to run f one.

action in the darkness with an impressive because. i think i would then make a few cars away all the boxes the thought of my it's quite you know is no bump in the. yeah but it's it's quite difficult you know it's it's a lot of low speed corners second and so here and it's really difficult to find out if it's on the corner if one is for another day how well they ran a world series taking center stage this week not only was the forest fine tries to test the track you know also hosted the first day we international borders for the band. aids saying that they have the idea it's not that easy for him as i can such a short life he's just leave this all the. tried well you can accept formula one just like the small prime russia is already set to join there for one calendar in twenty fourteen it's another circuit in the winter olympic of saudi. over the
