world news live from our moscow headquarters you're watching r t with me lucy catherine of well around one hundred people have been killed in syria's volatile hama province and what opposition activists say was a government airstrike the attack happened around as around a thousand people were lining up in front of a bakery that also coincided with the arrival of u.n. and arab league envoy lakhdar brahimi in syria meanwhile the medians that both sides have resorted to in a civil war have come under fire from russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov had spoken exclusively to our team and our own ego piskun off has more on that russia's foreign minister once again stressed that there could only be a diplomatic solution to this conflict adding that moscow is not taking sides and has condemned the syrian authorities for. using disproportionate force the security

forces clearly were. prepared to face the public. protests and protests in the cities and in the villages they have been trained you know to counter for an aggression not to keep law and order civilized men there however the minister also said that this doesn't rule out the fact that the rebels continue provoking syrian authorities and he criticized the west for failing to condemn the actions of some groups within the syrian opposition who sometimes go to the most extreme measures like taking hostages or even terrorism it's absolutely unacceptable if partners in the west would start would begin to. qualify terrorist as. bad terrorist and acceptable terrorists will also ask the minister why he thinks the

nato was so eager to deploy the six batteries the interceptor missiles on turkey's border with syria and whether iran could be the actual target here's what he said that's what some people say. the configuration as it is being presented in the media. really looks like it could be used against their own and other vital issue concerning syria is that stockpile of chemical weapons going to russia keep diplomatic or outside players seem to acknowledge that it's the responsibility of syrian authorities to keep it safe and that it would be unacceptable if the rebels got their hands on it but then it makes very little sense of why some states in the west continue persuading the rebels to continue fighting by giving the moral political and financial support. now of course we'll be bringing you more highlights from leverages exclusive interview in just a couple hours time but for those of you who just can't wait i was check it out online it's already there at r t dot com. the united arab emirates is said to be

close to ordering some sixty combat jets from the u.k. and may be getting a contingent of british troops to sweeten the deal the british prime minister david cameron told soldiers that they may soon be headed to the gulf state as they pull out of afghanistan rights groups though aren't exactly happy in saying that dealing with the emirates which the e.u. had called on to stop on the mass torture of the wrong message just well geopolitical analyst patrick henningsen says that there's on on now terry a motive behind the sale. justification for this massive build up in the middle east especially in the gulf states area the west is blaming iran saying that because iran's pursuing nuclear ambitions although there's no proof of any to the weapons programs as such they're blaming iran for a possible nuclear arms race in the region that's a quote from david cameron only days ago so the encirclement of iran is certainly

not a geo political scale number one priority and i think they've achieved that militarily but you know the question is. is this going to be a real military standoff or we looking at it a cold war situation were we just posturing militarily geopolitically looking for some bigger conflict down the road perhaps in a few years. well with iran all but surrounded in the middle east is certainly taking sides the lebanese group a militant group of law has joined the fray selling to rain missiles on israel and american bases at the to attack iran over its nuclear program. well for many at this time of the year it seems that it's the size of your wallet that actually dictates just how much festa fun you can afford to enjoy while the shops are reaping the benefits of a commercial boost elderly people in the u.k. surviving on just their pensions are left priced out of the christmas spirit

came a barrage of long range mortars and rockets most were held by israel's anti-missile shield the fund your fun a rocket threat from gaza the war may have showcased newly acquired weapons by palestinian militant factions but hezbollah's arsenal is thought to be of higher quality and quantity and experts say that it could launch four times as many markets per day as hamas the details of hezbollah stop all are secret but the group's willingness to use it is not if you are you know left behind israel was shaken by a few fragile five missiles which could be counted on the fingers of one's hand i want to be able to withstand the thousands of missiles that will land on television and else way if it attacks the flow. was israel and hezbollah came face to face was in two thousand and six since then. hizbullah has now it collated around forty five thousand missiles off various

to dust. also for you monkey business the future of this patsy and loping around the toronto carpark doesn't look so rosy if you can find out what happened to him online again that web site for you r t v dot com. egypt is set to announce the final results of the referendum on a new constitution after early tallies suggest that it won the majority approval in the final round of voting the draft hastily put together by the muslim brotherhood dominated committee is seen by many as a show way of cementing isn't this how in the country the poll has been accompanied by a small during unrest across egypt with sporadic violence resulting in dozens of deaths

and injuries the country's opposition is accusing the muslim brotherhood of masters rigging ahmed how ari from the al the store party believes that there's no way the constitution could have passed otherwise. this constitution and this is a disgrace to a nation that far hard for its freedom and for its rights it's a document that's written ripped out all the for all the rights that we've earned its right to constitute a dictatorship and it has been sought by a foot on them that was a massive massive rigging for the ballot boxes massive rigging for the voice of the people physically see tens and hundreds of schools tens and hundreds of schools where the ballot boxes and the referendum process was taking place at a convenience i when when the voices were very all the flaws so that the people voting no the power was cut off the most important to the. judges and employees and that's called shop down the school over. the front of the voters and the state with

the ballot boxes not overseas for hours and hours we are not recognise any results unless we see a profit investigation and a proper digging through these evidence that we would and we would receive a proper answer from the high committee of the election. on to our world updates now an afghan police woman has shot dead a us security advisor at a police headquarters station and called the afghan officer had walked up to the man before shooting him upward into a senior police official it's thought to be the first time a female officer has killed a member of nato officer hoarseness this type of incident certainly raises questions about the state of afghan security when troops finally withdraw at the end of two thousand and fourteen. isn't the slightest have destroyed the last mausoleums in the ancient city of timbuktu in the north of mali the on sardine group who has claimed responsibility saying that they are defending the purity of

lose that takes your breath away a few tourists travel to these parts no prepackaged comfort but the joy of the wild these guaranteed guineas a zoology professor he works in the u.s. and travels to these remote areas in russia every summer as he says he can find untouched landscapes like these anywhere else in the world. if i go wrong. and so we did our plan to get closer to the sea lion and shake its flipper field. one animal whose par you definitely wouldn't want to shake here is the brown bear you can literally spot a grizzly here by every small weaver. where the bears are they have

a very good friends a fellow who think i will have to keep an aisle when there are anger before them. so we won't go yes we shall be very quiet. and quiet we went but the wind was not on our side and the bear got away they're usually the first to avoid contact with humans but during spawning time when both people and bears go fishing people often shoot at them to scare them away and every year here in the region you hear about someone being killed by the predators but at the mugger down nature reserve where we are no one disturbs the bears peace and now the local resident to haiti's peace being disturbed here is the calories sea eagle in has a wingspan of two and a half meters it ness only here in washes far east because of the bundles of salmon

and seagulls which feed the giant bird in his studies if gagne focuses on birds so he took me to one of his favorite places here the island it has the biggest colony of seagulls in the region and the climb up was tough. but the prize missouri. if there was no city or to here it would resort to the you will have tons of people coming here now just to get some only on the beach here nothing is guaranteed you have to struggle to get your piece of bread there is nothing really you can plan a predict you have to rely on yourself and what you back so you go for was a bear so we're you know you have to be fed up with that. maybe for the wildlife here the lack of things it is this for the better but when you stand on top of

fanaa and like this you just cantelupe wanting to share the beauty. approaching the timeshare he held out his arm to grasp her waist before he had completed his invitation he also towards the tremulous expression on the touch his face prepared either for despair or rapture suddenly brightened into a happy grateful childlike smile. i have long been waiting for you that frightened happy girl seemed to say by the smile that replaced the threatened tears as she raised her hand to prince andre shoulder. they were the second couples who went to the circle prince andre it was one of the best dances of his day and the tasha dump

sticks was. it's the highlights of the russian bowl season i'm always been invited to my first look to attend an event which they promised me is going to be the height of sophistication and delegates and it's the eighteen twelfth anniversary both. for over a thousand years the russians have known that a good party needs don't sink down the centuries rich and poor alike have learned the steps put on their costumes and set off to find love patronage or simply

a good time. in this suitably grand building almost two hundred people have gathered to perform the classics from the polonaise to the polka all in front of a live orchestra. you can't help but notice the effort that's gone into their appearance and although i wasn't the only one in my dress i did feel a little out of place. though i don't see much in the way of nineteenth century playthings but i do know one lady there that may have to get the right look for a period of review by arena. so we've got lots of beautiful costumes here. of course this ball here was first dedicated to the war of eighteen twelve it wasn't so much about russians but it was the first such event that was held after the war a certain degree of courage was required to hold the ball at that time this stance is where it all began.

and with several events every year they're becoming very popular even if you most experienced you are encouraged to join in and there are plenty of helpful partners waiting to show you the ropes. movements in music have always stood the russian soul but now in the twenty first century more and more people seem to be learning these traditional cool dances but hop back to a bygone age i wanted to find out what makes them so appealing to a mold north koreans and how long it might take to get an absolute beginner to the . business.
