washington. security council statement condemning. which killed dozens. of interview with the organization struggling. to demand the return of the brother of a three year old russian adoptee who died in america and asks to see the results of the police investigation which still hasn't finished after more than a month. and the president has to receive the un peace award for sending his forces to mali all of this even as the fighting to maintain stability there.

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here. with your news from all around the world. has heavily criticised the u.s. for blocking a u.n. security council statement condemning a string of bomb attacks in the syrian capital the blasts took the lives of at least fifty three people and wounded hundreds while also damaging the russian embassy says it's unacceptable for washington to seek excuses for what it calls terrorists especially after u.s. diplomatic missions have been targeted in other countries and the deadly car bomb explosion struck a busy neighborhood of damascus where the headquarters of president assad's ruling party is located there is also a school near the epicenter of the blast many children are believed to be among the victims a middle east expert tariq ali says the scale of the apparent act of terrorism yet again indicates the urgent need for a political solution. it was

a very clear response to those who are on. during like myself and others the base should be a political settlement that this ugly stalemate should not be allowed to continue. any longer and that the saner elements within the opposition should sit down and see what's going to be sorted out even at this late it late stage because if this doesn't happen the war will expand as we are seeing into lebannon and then anything's possible affectively the syrian rebel forces trying to topple the government have not had open public support which they wanted in terms of the nato strike promise of the united states coming to back them and their fictive really trying to maintain their position during this ugly transitional period to see how they can keep the situation the stabilized but it is not in the interests of the syrian people. and the rebel free syrian army has claimed it

launched assaults on hezbollah bases in neighboring lebanon the latest on the conflict in syria is pouring occasional waters of the water on country here such as forty eight hour ultimatum and demand for the lebanese group to end the shelling of rebel held town in syria did expire on thursday it's a matter a former deputy head of the israeli defense council says it has further confrontation between the two sides it could ultimately affect the entire region. the main question is. if there is a possibility the fighting between the syrian groups. within syria and now perhaps within lebanon. will bring others to be involved within lebanon of between lebannon along the borders with israel for example there's no longer borders we do . or you can no longer the borders between syria and other players jordan for example in this case. the whole region might be involved and of course the syrians

have a very strong interest not to open fire by a machine or even by rifle it's very easy you don't need much but again as we said earlier the main point is not a position of point of opening fire the main point is the tricked that if you because below will be involved more and more in syria we will cause you difficulties in lebanon once the syrian groups act against his will or within lebanon that will use the same tactics that we send people that we target themselves that we target villages that is below our control that we try to keep vehicles that we try to make this is below our people life in lebanon in general risky. now r.t. has spoken exclusively to the main mediator in the syrian conflict who had some rather comments. the opposition at the u.n.

peace envoy lakhdar brahimi he said their reluctance to make any concessions to the years out regime is one of the major roadblocks to peace you can catch of the full interview in just over an hour here on r t but for now it's a quick preview of what mr brahimi had to say. calling a problem. and he not stepping down. lot of people who are opposed to all who are involved in this conflict in syria think that the president is a serious important part of the problem this is a fact and they're put you to do you believe that's the problem doesn't matter what i believe doesn't matter what you believe when you're saying maybe talking to the government but not the president directly. the problem is only one man. himself the problem is that the opposition is seeing every five minutes but they don't want to talk about. this is the problem is his future in his own hands at this point should

it be in his own hands i'm talking about. i don't want to talk about that. this is art see now the death of a three year old adopted russian child in texas last month has become an emotionally charged international incident moscow is demanding the return of mexico's means younger brother with the police investigation still ongoing let's not get details live from our teaser you go to prison if you go to so good to see you today can you or can you just go clear away some of the excuses here the boy died a month ago nobody truly knows why he taught us what. well the death of three year old marks. three year old marks in queens that has caused a very emotional reaction in russia but first let's look at the facts the boy died

over a month ago the exact cause of his that still haven't been established there are reports that american authorities have. received to the preliminary results of his autopsy but haven't disclosed them yet his adoptive mother as she described what happened said that she was in there all the while he was playing outside with his brother where she found him unresponsive immediately called for help with this brings us to the second sticking point yourself towards themselves mitt that to be investigation into maxine was that was not started immediately unfortunately we get these kind of this particular kind of calls for. every day we go out there somebody has had a heart attack we don't put of pressure. we have a child that's been injured in an a.t.v. actually we don't put a pressure a set on unless we start suspecting that something may be out of the ordinary. it

was until a little bit later that we started getting some suspicions of what was going on and that all developed from talking to the parents the people that live there he just took a little more time for us to develop. see adoption is a major stumbling block in evolution to between moscow and washington due to the many cases of abuse of children by the american adoptive parents and soon after the news of mark seems death came out several russian officials including russia's children's alderman sman were quick to point the finger of blame at his adoptive american mother also because u.s. authorities themselves. reports that they found bruises on the kid's body. we had information that the. boy had been severely beaten. before birth or. led to

a conclusion. possibly he had been killed. maybe killed by hughes. american mother. now officials in moscow do acknowledge that the investigation is still ongoing and it hasn't established the exact person to blame for months seems that but another issue fueling engert here in russia is that mark seems they have seen less than a month after russia introduced a general ban for all americans to adopt russian children not only because of the many cases of abuse and sometimes of even deaths but because of a lack of a proper legal reaction from american of the eighty's including the lack of a proper follow up of these that apparently what we're seeing now again. are you going to is going to live in central moscow thank you. is

a government u. turn a sign of weakness or perhaps courage to admit mistakes of britain's prime minister david cameron doing his best to make a virtue of the number of times he's backtracked on policies. first now looks it is often used reverse. it. inside the mind of the prime minister say many decisions to be made on a daily basis is perhaps little wonder that sometimes they change their minds and from buses to badges healthcare to housing case cars caravans charities and circus animals petrol and even pasties the list of this government's u. turns buried and long in fact there have been so many recently that some wonder if this is the most indecisive british government ever it's kind of difficult to get the data right in partly because people change what we call them so and after modifier to talk about you turn a low you stop turning your everybody's where do you turn for up top are calling

downs or part downs or whatever back then the words you turn carry negative connotations you turn if you want to i thank the ladies not for turning i the warmest thirteen might not have been for turning this prime minister certainly is his coalition's clocked up to getting thirty five you turned say far roughly for every twenty nine days the coalition's been in power there's been a change of direction a u. turn if you like i can pass around fifty two days for gordon brown and tony blair was much more on was less likely to change ration he was one of the himself and margaret thatcher you know use terms i took around four hundred days to get a change direction out of tony blair's government going back to the coalition then when it comes to why do you think we have seen this government have so many so many

more than previous governments i think a lot of it is down to the fact that it is a coalition. that this is a very new thing in british politics it's very common and embarrassing for them do you think i think it's been difficult for the leadership point of view but i think it's something that has been accepted going in. and during the coalition agreement there will have to be compromises when it comes to this government is clear that what they say might not always be exactly as i think it is the fact that they clocked up so many you turns a sign that the government is listening or doesn't leave their pledges and promises sounding a little well both it's not good is not a good thing. if you vote for a government aspects of what they say it's going to be good for you that. it's not proper to say well i don't know why i think if it's an issue that obviously people

are worried about that or interested in something. but where the quality you turn about turn climb down or back down when it comes to changing your mind in government many thera it's a case of you're damned if you day and. this government may well be recorded as being indecisive but he was being indecisive it would be attacked for the opposite for being. ultimately and this is something we often used to say you take your money you pays your money you takes your choice. or you're not decisive enough as to what david cameron thinks about who the coalition u. turns well he hasn't given us an answer yet perhaps he hasn't made up his mind so artie london. as we come to you live from moscow come here on the program. to. get out of the what vehicle breaks teeth is there a car that stamps on a person with a shoe shattering the glasses and pushing them into his eyes human rights activists

francois hollande made a quote valuable contribution to peace and stability in africa the editor of the pan-african newswire about yeah me as a q we believe that given what's actually happened in mali and the french leader is certainly the wrong person to be heralded for bringing peace. yes not been in office that long his political career since being in office as president of france has been marked bad this intervention in mali something that was done you know laterally it was totally unjustified there's been reports of gross human rights violations that have taken place since the french intervention in mali they've admitted the defense ministry in paris that they killed hundreds of people going to france and the operation overall is not turning out the way in which france had initially planned these developments in mali do not bode well for someone who is

being offered such a prestigious award for peace of course this is being fueled by the overall economic crisis that exists in france they have the highest unemployment rate that they've had in many many years that's almost eleven percent they have a huge deficit which they're trying to deal with this intervention is not a humanitarian one it's based upon the economic and political interests of france as well as the other countries in nato is also including the united states as well because the united states is actually transporting troops into mali. are staying with mali into the walled up that we go now it's where coalition forces claim they've once again retaken control of the key city of gal the city seen a series of clashes between troops and is the most minutes and since its official liberation last month i mean while in a separate militant attack at least one person died after a bombing at

south where local youth have renamed a street after his son mohammed a twenty eight year old activist allegedly tortured to death by security forces two weeks ago after protesting on tyreese square in omaha when the first time i went to see mohammed in the hospital i didn't recognize him seriously his face was covered with wounds his skull fractured when i asked the doctors they told me this is mohammed the limit as a doctor all i know that one would would be although mohammed's injuries points to torture his mother sammy says the official forensic report maintains he died after a car crash yet to be about the south in what vehicle brakes teeth is there a car that stamps on a person with a shoe shattering the glasses and pushing them into his eyes what car only injures a person's head but not their legs yeah. right now egypt is witnessing unprecedented levels of police violence against protesters rights groups reporting with at least ten x.

a judicial killings by security forces since president mohamed morsi to power the west divide it's often a cause in places like this infamous security directorate behind me risking being for mohammed's balcony however the most worrying trend activists say is the targeting of children in an impoverished district of alexandria explains how her thirteen year old son abdul rahman was detained for over two weeks for being a bystander at a demonstration the police use violence against children my son has cuts and bruises all over his body they hante young children because kids contre away from them. the police told us if anyone tries to contact their family or friends they would beat us despite the scenes like these the interior minister denies security forces use violence against protesters and are a few. it's the torture is systemic in the police force instead the government says

it will arm low ranking police officers sparking fears of further abuses human rights organizations and advocates are extremely concerned by the increase in one violence between the supporters and the opposition to president morsi to the political cover for that president morsi the administration and the legislator are giving to the. violence exercised by the police force and the increased level of brutality. being exercised by the police force three were they concerned by the increase of weapons back during egypt's revolution a key demand was police reform people here say there is no evidence of that until there is crowds of thousands continue to push for change though many fear the worst is yet to come true for r t cairo. well there are many more details in the

stories we're covering on air they are though to be found at our upgraded web site r.t. dot com you can check out how the future two new zealand government could soon have a hardline islamist this is the ruling and now the party starts to attempt to solving the political crisis by pushing through a prime minister from its rather extreme wing. plus israel allows oil drilling on the disputed golan heights the company that secured the lucrative license says the likes of media tycoon rupert murdoch and ex u.s. vice president dick cheney both of them on the list of shareholders that the details see home. well for now in the caucuses landslide has opened a door to the past a russian scientists have unearthed the remains of a woolly mammoth and possibly not just one a very rare find who's expected to shed some light on the fate of the elephant like mammals that became extinct now more than four thousand years ago just

a bit earlier my colleague carrie johnson spoke to auntie's medina coach of a about the discovery. it was a five year where they found it like many would have thought actually happen in russia as in north caucasus now the discovery was made and become bodies in about a region which is a very mountainous area and also home to alberta's europe's highest peak now during the seasonal snow saw landslides occur and it's these landslides that can reveal what's been burry deep in the ground and that's exactly what happened local researches say that these are the remains of the south and mamma's now that animal lived in europe and central asia some two and a half million years ago which was around the time b. ice age began they were huge animals four metres tall and also known for its curled tusks their laughter african homeland and migrated to eurasia and their last resort

as widely seen as what is now self and russia we should also say that out of seven full mammal skeletons that were found in the world three were found in russia well what are they going to do with all these remains that well first of all research us will have to date and touch them but the most interesting part here is that they believe that there could be many more remains close by. living near the site have been finding pieces of bone vertebrae for many decades some of them used to vertebrae. that gives you an idea how large it is one theory suggests that all mammals became extinct at the same time so we may have found an entire graveyard where they were all together before. so we'll wait and see what kind of prehistoric treasure trove the carcasses could be and i've lived in the caucus as and i've reported from the north caucasus and i can tell you it's a place that's really dripping in history which parts of which have been remained

untouched for thousands of years and who knows what it actually holds. indeed i find all the time to get geeky here on r.t. dive headfirst into the world of the latest gadgets and gizmos technology update is just around the corner. if you have a business then you need customers right this is perhaps the simplest law of capitalism but if your business is making juvenile prisons how are you going to attract more customers by bribing judges into condemning innocent children so you'll have all the captives i mean customers that you need to charge mark. jr.
