diplomatic tension over the syrian conflict rises after a deadly bomb attack in the capital with the country's rebel movement seemingly on the brink of war with hezbollah. russia wants the younger brother of a russian adoptive child who died in america to return home although still little clarity in the case which is ultimately a media controversy. and leading from the. figures suggest david cameron is britain's most indecisive prime minister in recent times having backtracked on more decisions than his recent criticisms.

worldwide news live from moscow this is he with me. thank you for joining us here on the program. russia has accused the us of attempting to justify terrorism in syria and moscow criticized washington for blocking a u.n. security council statement condemning a string of bomb attacks in the syrian capital and the blasts on thursday killed at least fifty three and wounded two hundred damaging the russian embassy and moscow says it's unacceptable to make excuses for terror especially after u.s. diplomatic missions have been targeted in other countries this is a conflict in syria could well spill into neighboring lebanon the rebel free syrian army says it attacked hezbollah bases in advance of an ultimatum for a ceasefire expiring on thursday and the insurgents demanded that the lebanese group and the shelling of rebel held areas in syria it's a former deputy head of the israeli defense council says if there is any further

confrontation between both sides could end up affecting the entire. 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 or between lebannon along the borders with israel for example along the borders with turkey or even along 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 for it but again as we said earlier the main point is not operational point of opening fire the main

point is the tricked that if you do hizbollah will be involved more and more in syria will cause you difficulties in lebanon once the syrian groups act against that is below within lebanon that we use the same tactics that we send people that we target of fighters themselves they will target villages that hizbollah control they will try to hit vehicles they will try to make the people life in lebanon in general risky. now here at r.t. we have spoken exclusively to the main mediator in the syrian conflict who had some rather barbed comments for the opposition of course we're talking about the un peace envoy lakhdar brahimi and him who are saying that the rebels reluctance to make any concessions to the assad government is one of the major roadblocks to peace. the only problem is in our side and not stepping down. a 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 in one man in bashar al assad himself the problem is that the opposition is seeing every five minutes but they don't want to talk about. this is the problem it's his future in his own hands at this point should it be in his own hands i'm talking about assad i don't want to talk about that. where you can see the full exclusive interview with the u.n. and arab league envoy to syria of course locked up or he me that's twenty one

hundred g.m.t. but it's also available on our website of course r.t. dot com. for now the death of a three year old adopted a russian child in america last month has become an emotionally charged international incident and moscow is demanding the return of maxim's younger brother with the police investigation still ongoing details now to r.t. correspondent you go to your skin off. the death of three year old much mean has caused definitely an emotional reaction from russian authorities 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 of the bodies have we received to be pulling the results of his autopsy but haven't disclosed them yet his adoptive mother as she described what happened said that she was in their own while he was playing outside with his brother where she caught him unresponsive immediately called for help with this

brings us to the second sticking point yourself towards themselves mitt that to be investigation into much seems that was not started immediately unfortunately we get these kind of this particular kind of calls for. every day we don't put a pressure a shadow unless we start suspecting that something may be out of the ordinary. it wasn't all 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 it just took a little more time for us to develop. adoption is a major stumbling block in the relations between moscow and washington due to the many cases of abuse and sometimes of even deaths of russian children after they were adopted and brought to the united states that's why shortly after the new soft mark seems that came out several russian officials including russia's children's alderman's men were quick to point the finger of blame at his american adoptive

mother also because of reports from u.s. authorities that they found bruises on the kid's body we had information that the. boy had been severely beaten. before birth or. led to conclusion. possibly he had been killed 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 another issue fueling a nigger in russia is that mark seems the game 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 the u.s. authorities including the lack of a proper follow up which apparently we're seeing now again i see corresponding you

go to preschool reporting. now david cameron may be the most indecisive prime minister and of recent british history new figures calculated by the guardian newspaper show that he's made more u.-turn since taking office in two thousand and ten and his two predecessors sarah first went to invest. it can be hard to tell what goes on inside the mind of the prime minister say many decisions to be made on a daily basis is that little wonder that sometimes they change their minds and from buses to badges healthcare to housing case goes caravans charities and circus and old children even beat the list of this government's u. turns buried and long in fact there have been seen many recently that someone this is the most indecisive british government ever is kind of difficult to get the data i see partly because people change what we call them so after modifier to talk

about you turn a load you stop turning your everybody's the world you turn but before that up top our coin downs all part downs or whatever then the words you turn carry negative connotations you turn if you want to i'm going through the ladies not for turning i'm going to well miss thirty might not have been for turning this prime minister is certainly is his coalitions clocks are pig getting thirty five you turned so 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 and i can pass around fifty two days for gordon brown and tony blair was much more wrong was less likely to change ration he was one of them self and margaret thatcher you know use terms i took around four hundred days to go to

change direction i said tony blair's government going back to the coalition 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 actually in british politics it's very common and embarrassing for them do you think i think it's been difficult from a 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 false it's. not a good thing. if you vote for government aspects of what they say it's going to be good for you actually. 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 it will interest them if it's something people don't have. a bill with the quality you turn about turn climb down or back down when it comes to changing your mind in government many things 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 mean so ultimately and this is something we often used to say you take your money you pays your money it 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. london. and aussies coming july from moscow still to come for you here on the programs that have accolades and the french president receives a un peace prize for his mali military intervention leading rights groups label the

campaign as a humanitarian disaster and we've got the details on the expert opinion just a bit later on the program. also ahead for you to see online but off limits considering becoming the first western democracy to introduce censorship on the proposals. internet. but we're discussing it live off this.

morning news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. thanks for joining us here on r.t.i. rory soon iceland could become the first western democracy to introduce censorship

of the internet and the government's thinking of banning online pornography all of this an attempt to protect children and reduce violence methods under consideration include the introduction of the same filters used by china as well as making it illegal to use credit cards to access pay per view porn let's get some more details on this now from laws from the u.k. pirate party let's see what he thinks about it good to see you today thanks for coming on here on r.t. obviously you advocate the freedom of the internet of course or do you think a ban on progress free would really do that much harm to it well i don't think it's a very disappointing move but also understand is now considering actually tackling water essentially social problems with internet filtering i think scandinavia has always been seen as a beacon of freedom of speech but now again we've seen another area of the world where freedoms are being eroded a functionally these proposals are shown yet again by lack of technical knowledge

of the heart of our kind of politics are politicians and the real objection to this harpo's or is that there is no magic switch that we can push that will actually do what's being proposed well look i'm sorry you said there's no magic switch there's no magic switch but there must be some pretty effective ways out there to to keep pornography out of the side of children surely well ordinance is the real problem as i say the real problem with these proposals is that they will not work and i'm going also what's worrying is that we're seeing now other countries like here in the united kingdom that also now this is being considered the proposal here and here too and it's. it's actually the point the point about child protection is it has to happen on the ground and that it's about actually putting resources into supporting vulnerable people the real thing is that this kind of these kind of

films. it's actually a point that. they have one to implication. that the filters that the filters don't work i mean is that is that basically what you're saying this is this has to start on the ground as you mentioned a moment ago but surely if bill or bob you know some little eight year old child gets on the internet other filters not going to be effective in stopping the child from seeing pornography well it's those various sides to this it's not a question of if. are her kinds of other kinds of sites or taken out or there are only is the question of where but also he said in your introduction it's actually using the same kind of technology which is indistinguishable from other kinds of filtering surveillance systems used around the world we've seen companies like bluecoat for example which has been criticized on human rights groups for this current this very kind of technology now there's quite

a hurry bar for installing it but once you do it can be used for any kind of so it's so you're saying you're saying the risk is the risk is that if indeed pornography is censored then other things on the internet will be censored as well this current of technology is indistinguishable from any other kind of culture and surveillance and technology we give our governments and our courts these currents the perils of these kinds of powers at our peril and should. now you mention of i want to go there in the u.k. some sort of similar filtering i'd idea was coming into effect there but you really think that. this movement in iceland could indeed spread to other western democracies where these governments could also try and clamp down whether it's pornography if indeed or some other subjects they want to filter out all block well absolutely we need to set this in the context of a rising attempt to to block and filter and censor the internet right across the

world and we've seen just in the last year in the united states for example reported there was a seven hundred cent increase in requests for takedowns of search results where we in the higher party movement have been more of warning for years now that there is a ever increasing move towards into internet censorship or whatever reason and we we see that we often hear governments cruising internet freedom abroad so for example in the context of the arab spring but i'm an owner of home the point is that if whether our governments whether they have written iceland or russia actually take these kinds of powers themselves they cannot criticize our governments for doing so as well i mean certainly as you're saying there are some a broader implications here and certainly possibly a ripple effect that could come out of iceland and as you suggest are spread over to two different governments around the world i lost a leader of the u.k.

pirate party wish we had more time for this we don't but a great pleasure to have you on our to today thanks very much indeed. all right well we are coming to you live from moscow and the french president will receive a peace prize from the u.n. all of this for his military intervention in mali that unesco cultural organization says francois hollande should be rewarded for his quote valuable contribution to peace and stability in africa and this is violence in the war torn nation shows ups and no signs of slowing down leading rights groups have condemned the french led operation saying the conflict has seen serious human rights violations including the killing of children the french and malian troops are meanwhile struggling to keep islamist militants out of gal sweat as being yet another wave of fighting the latest on rest comes as france plans to start withdrawing some of its four thousand troops next month at its pan-african it news wire me as a kiwi says that the french leader doesn't deserve such an award given what's

actually happening on the ground in the west african nation that he has not been in office that long his political career since being in office as president of france has been marked by this intervention in mali something that was done you know latterly 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 and the operation overall is not turning out the way in which it 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. percent they have a huge deficit which they're trying to deal with this intervention is not a humanitarian one it's based it's not a humanitarian interest of france as well as the other countries nato is also including the united states as well because the united states is actually transported troops into mali. this is artsy from prizes for peace two awards for movies and oscar nominated film director has been stopped at a los angeles airport and threatened with deportation he says it's because he's a palestinian authorities couldn't believe he was in the running for a top movie accolade we managed to track him down to find out exactly what it was that went so badly wrong they. started questions me. they want me to give them more of the rule of and invitations and why why i came to united states i thought of them that i am an all star nominees so

israel by american officials the israeli government has without fail angered the americans by coming up for example with announcements of settlement expansion in the west bank president obama is due to visit israel at the end of march and no doubt the state department is likely to criticize this permit as they do not recognize the area as being part of israel. just rewrite that one of course we're keeping you updated on long. and with more stories and just some killer videos that . let's have a look and see some of the items stunning by few right now just a click away for example staying silent on drone wolf barack obama refuses to reveal the legal justification for america's secretive. people in pakistan afghanistan and yemen. plus drug deadline sentencing for a georgia state prison inmates now it depends on the expiration date of the new lethal medicine used for execution.
