news live from our brand new moscow h.d. headquarters i'm lucy cough and of and thanks for tuning in to our t.v. this hour. well syria's rebels say at least sixty people have been killed in a government airstrike on a bakery in the central hama province meanwhile state run media has broadcast a denial it claims that the opposition is behind the killings designed to smear the authorities as the international peace envoy visited damascus province has witnessed intense fighting in the past few days meanwhile russia's foreign minister has rebuffed speculation that moscow is looking to give asylum to president assad and that russia is shielding his government sergey lavrov spoke exclusively to our

team more on that now from our correspondent the group is going up. 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 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 foreign aggression not to keep law and order a civilized manner however the minister also said that this doesn't rule out the fact that the rebels continue provoking syria now florrie's 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 of the interceptor missiles on turkey's border with syria and whether iran could be the actual target here is 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 iran and other vital issue concerning syria is that stockpile of chemical weapons going to russia is chief diplomat or outside player 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 them moral

political and financial support. going to bring in more highlights from sergei lavrov the exclusive interview later on today it's also available for you on our web site right now just head over to r.t. dot com to watch the full thing. almost three billion dollars worth of defense megadeals have been signed between russia and india and president putin is on a visit to new delhi cementing times with fast growing economies as they continue to try and boost their global influence on his maria from notional reports now on how their improved world standing is worrying some in the west russia and india have signed around three billion dollar worth of military contracts today and many experts have already said that that is very important and that is very symbolic why the thing is that today it is number one one twenty importer in the world and russian made equipment accounts for more than seventy percent of the indian mission supplies but recently india has signed many contracts with you guys and israel and

some have started saying that russia is losing its role its position in this particular region region and especially on the indian military market with all these contracts signed today we can say this hope the case and cooperation is to very high and russia and india remain very close allies group reeks of broken states is bakin countries like america nervous because they have their own interests in this particular region especially defense interests boosting their military presence in the backyard of china and by this visit by this gathering today here in india the role the increasing role in importance of basic group of brits that experts say actually is able to counterbalance the western dominance in the world has been stressed and outlined again and again. well let's look now at what the future holds for russia and india's relationship and joining us is dr

shriram truly he's a professor and dean at the gentle school of international affairs in new delhi sort of thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us of course the brics countries have been building up their influence do you feel that we are in a shift perhaps even a major shift in global power balance. oh that's so we can take that for granted now this is what his music career to be has underlined this shift dramatically because. our prime minister who can have real from. our borders which obviously. talks about you know you know if unity think this shift that we're on if it isn't we for our own eyes i think the lawsuit is because russian media. group despite occasional news americans are already since these and so on we are going through or sometimes. what the counties and the strategic level one of the

two leaders to be missing in action this emphasize is that there is hardly any conflict of interest between these two countries these two major powers which i would say form the presence of the brics grouping as one of the larger image economies will be the fact that russia will take over the g twenty presidency and he's going to host the next summit is also significant because look leaders affirm faith in continuing to think about how to reform the global economy and how to transform the internet which will in qana be innovative that does not repeat existence of the past which were done under the new leader in our will countries share the strong state tradition and that has helped to regulate some consensus in the greed of the corporate in the financial sector and having a strong state that has a regulator ofgem bastardy to be able to prevent the mass massive fraud is clear if the treasury didn't bring to the world to the g twenty and many other issues

they've discussed but i believe these are the key institutions brics g twenty through which able to transform the world order to complete diplomatic by letting. the sorry you say that there is no conflict of interest between these two countries but we do have to acknowledge that there are the russian india haven't always seen eye to eye i mean we've had nuclear negotiations stalled a few arms deals that collapsed the past three years talk a little bit about whether there's any obstacles that will to be tackled in order to really sort of go forward here. yeah i mean both countries have a list of you know a sore point to sit down to put in candidly the indians want all of the aircraft carrier to be dealing with foster and there have been issues and you know attempting to try and you know if you please the civilian part of the trade the civilian part trade has unfortunately remained. limited to one ten billion dollars

per annum and we would like to see growing much faster here china for example is over seventy billion u.s. dollars and so we would need to read about those fronts from the russian side there's been some are getting com companies feel don't and so on but as i said before i think in the big picture if you strong solid special relationship like ours you can russia and india you can find your case no need here and here we can be i don't know principle dog at the highest political level and simply because the deal at the top is there for this relationship to prosper and to bring conflict benefits to the people of both our countries as well as to change and transform the world on the disc in afghanistan and i must mention today between i would leader and yours was again very significant because that's when he spoke about how we need to plan together for the transition after the americans leave not even come on and couple of years and it's important that russia and india there's no daylight or a gap between the two. so that we put up

a front building we have learned to and here it will to influence the other regional players constructively and to bring everybody to the table because everybody knows that after the americans leave them to be borne by the neighboring countries in the region which includes india so we are stakeholders in the crisis in afghanistan and pakistan and i'm sure the need us to be the mention of this in the company would have been much further behind the scenes to try and bring to bring a solid coordination on this fact speaking of defense and we are talking about russia and. defense collaboration is here which will certainly create a significant partnership in asia but how does this compare to for example america's military buildup in the region outside of afghanistan is there sort of a potential for a clash between this asia and india and russia and sort of rising in terms of military build up and also the us. well i think each country is looking towards its own interests visibly. employers and so you know i inspections what is

important is that these defense teams. definitely in three. self reliance and capability for you know if you have let's call it because russia is very much involved in this and it will help as also offset some of the technical conditionalities and the mark of technology transfer that for example india has all these fees and we can reconstruct wars so you believe this kind of cooperation important thing is a question in your mind. and no other country in the world but as india have the luxury of being the boss i think the level of trust is so deep that it can only go sky high and the studies really to leave well certainly sky's the limit thank you so much that was dr shriram truly a professor and dean at the gentle school of international affairs.

well in britain this christmas there's a bleak choice for many elderly people skyrocketing household bills and curbed pensions mean that some are forced to choose between eating and heating as artie's poly boyko discovered. santa claus is coming to town and the shops are ready for the annual customer onslaught eighty two year old lady isn't in the festive spirit she's worried that she can't afford to be anything other than a scrooge this christmas that pension and. goodness i'm there isn't enough to let go and it isn't you know with all the bales doesn't. there's a well i have been filling it with that or does things ok. the

seven percent since last year a family bird setting you back a whopping fifty five pounds on your christmas cards an average pack of twelve costs ten percent more this holiday and with printer ink now pricier than champagne you can forget about making your own to save money besides postage doesn't come cheap now at thirty percent more this christmas first class post in every sense of the term there's not a shop in the land that would risk missing out on a christmas promotion right now it's not sure why get hard up to the best of us he's getting more and more commercial but jerry's he read write to you what can he afford to take god we've talked to many families about christmas time and it's something that they really struggle with a time when all the families are celebrating we've got rises in fuel prices we've

got rises in food prices and the benefits and the support mechanisms that people have got. that they've got is all being cut back it's going to be really really tough for people this christmas pension the lady isn't just worried about the plight of the elderly she knows she's far from alone in counting down down costs december twenty fifth you know where they've been going out but their way. and people that. there's a lot of people. that. and with the bank of england's less than glad tidings of a triple dip recession on the cards struggling britain's will be wishing for nothing short of a christmas miracle. london. well even those brits unlucky enough to be spending christmas in the hospital have some warning facts to contend with on line for you revelations of years of neglect and mistreatment of

u.k. patients some even reportedly starving to death. also for you trouble in the term we explain why tourists won't be able to pay a personal tribute to lennon for quite some time. will be back with more news shortly after the break don't go away stay with us. what do you see when you look at the scroll perhaps you wonder what bright future she'll have or maybe feel sympathy for her because you see she's in a wheelchair but if you're t.s.a. agent then you see hard core terrorist skull finding a small amount of residue from explosives on the girl's hands she was detained for

almost an hour and her tears for mercy did not move the inspectors to allow her mother to be with her as they took her away for further inspection so the t.s.a. agents can put two and two together and realize that people in wheelchairs get all sorts of random stuff on their hands because the wheels they push roll along the ground when will these endless tales of bizarre instance of the t.s.a. stop when will they stop worrying about girls in wheelchairs when will they stop searching under a terminally ill woman's bandages and when will they actually catch a terrorist when you go security feels a lot more like ridiculous tyranny to me but that's just my opinion. and this is a free cretaceous free storage free. range chickens free risk free. two types free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects free media r.t.

rights groups for planning to sell dozens of combat jets to the united arab emirates as well as other gulf states the prospective deal is seen as a sign of support for a regime which the e.u. earlier slammed for human rights abuses and torture in addition to the jets prime minister david cameron is said that britain might station strips in the u.a.e. after withdrawing from afghanistan u.k. is also trying to prolong its military presence on existing bases in bahrain and qatar meanwhile geo political analyst patrick henningsen says that it's not hard to see britons altering. the justification for this massive build up in the middle east especially in the gulf states and. the west is blaming iran saying that because iran's pursuing nuclear ambitions well there's no proof of any to their 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 the mill of the prospect of military confrontation with iran doesn't seem to be fading anytime soon and one of tehran's closest allies announces that i could join the fray during my recent visit to lebanon i set out to discover what the militant group hezbollah has up its sleeve a red line should be drawn right here the line beyond which lies war with iran that in yahoo would like to be able to communicate to the world that the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full

support of the united states threat whatever the case and the tap it all but guarantee of a rapid response from another nemesis of the jewish state has moema. the lebanese shia paramilitary group has evolved from a ragtag militia to a military and political heavyweight it's part of the so-called axis of resistance against israel referring to the alliance between hezbollah hamas syria and iran and according to has been was leader hassan nasrallah both israel and the united states would suffer a retaliation to any strike against tehran but. the response would not be limited to the israeli entity u.s. military bases in the entire region will serve as targets. so if israel targets iran even by itself that. america will be held accountable for this death. israel's november battle with gaza was seen as a test for

a possible confrontation with iran israeli airstrikes rained on gaza in exchange came a barrage of long range mortars and rockets most were held by israel's anti-missile shield the bunker for 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. 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 fellow. who 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 ranges. it's run of all part of the range goes beyond three hundred and what's three hundred fifty kilometers which according to them at least they can reach the whole of. the south of the country this museum in the south of lebanon is designed to display has been proclaimed military prowess captured israeli tanks and weapons are meant to be a reminder of the danger has block impose. this is the only has the tunnel now open to visitors but a network of secret passageways just like this one stretches across lebanon they're used to move fighters and weapons across the country ensuring that hezbollah stands ready to strike at a moment's notice lucy catherine of r.t.e. southern lebanon. well time for a world update we begin of ghana stand where an afghan police woman has shot dead

a u.s. security adviser at the police headquarters in kabul the female officer had walked up to the victim as he left a shop in the heavily guarded compound firing at him with a pistol she is now considered to be in custody now this is thought to be the first time that a woman had carried out what are called blue insider attacks hours earlier a police man had shot five of us colleagues in the north and afghanistan such killings have left more than sixty people dead this year alone. the most fighters claim to have destroyed the remaining muslims in the ancient city of to two in northern mali the rebels say that they are defending the purity of their faith against the people worshipping idols locals believe that is in retaliation to the un back military operation to take back the islamist controlled north. so. meanwhile a red alerts been issued in chile made fears of a volcano on the border with argentina could soon of rupp's now roads leading to

constitute a dictatorship and it has been taught by a referendum that was a massive massive rigging for the ballot boxes massive rigging for the voice of the people physically seen cans and hundreds of schools tens and hundreds of schools where the ballot boxes and the referendum process was taking place at a convenient time when the voices were very all the pool so that the people were voting no the power was cut off the other night if movie asked judges and employees and that's called shuts down the school over. in the front of the voters and the state with the ballot boxes not overseas for hours and hours we do not recognise any any results unless we see a proper investigation and a proper digging through this evidence that we would and we receive a proper answer from from the high committee of the election. well coming up james brown is going to show us the tips and tricks to holding

a traditional russian bomb don't go away. i never thought i could earn a living messmate. natale a shoe of ours an armor should test small arms so there's a lot almost machine building ploy and not obvious sourced count of all the weapons she's fired over the past twelve years. i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the rifle range and i say no way i'm so tired of shooting. the planet's history goes from making firearms during world war two to ballistic missiles from nuclear submarines during the cold war the bulk of the soviet industry was moved here in the 1940's to flee the advancing germans so it's here

also became the heart of soviet military production closed off to foreigners for half a century it thrived on the massive moods of the soviet military when the u.s.s.r. collapsed but life here was shaken to the core but some adapted to better than others. this is the year old truck factory russia's number one truck maker or president look at how well the workplace is organized everything's done to make sure the workers don't waste time waiting there was so production is booming in the factory has largely managed to get on to civil rails these johnsons sold around the globe hayabusa brand new breeds are waiting to be delivered to acquire seventy trucks like this one roll up the bronx conveyor belt every day look about this things that absolutely huge. well i'm no formula one pilot but hopefully if i can get that. well i can go for

a test drive. well that was fun so she get one of these to travel to one every morning that's where the cost of about forty thousand dollars i should start saving money. approaching the time sure he held out his arm to grasp the waist before he had completed his invitation bill.
