good evening world news and analysis live from our moscow headquarters i'm lucy craft and thanks for tuning into our t.v. well thousands of program activists across the u.s. are taking part in a day of resistance against president obama's tighter gun laws they called his plans unconstitutional and r.t.s. got if you can reports it's not just two words they're ready to use to protect their rights to bear arms. part of america now favor some form of gun control especially in the wake of tragic mass shootings. while the other is getting ready to fight against any significant regulations they're preparing for what they call the invasion of feds by arming themselves to the teeth. and we actually got two that are ready of course i know but now that you know we're out of that ambushes

and i would be really qualified right. again that is the basis of. a police chief in pennsylvania mark kessler is training private citizens to become snipers and resist what they call a tyrannical government if need be trust me when i tell you this i mean i will take my uniform off and i will stand with freedom before i stand with the ironical folks absolutely not i will not in any way shape or form support anything that goes against the constitution or the second amendment sheriff associations from eleven states said they would ignore any law passed in washington that would significantly regulate guns we won't enforce federal regulations or federal laws were not required so there's a separation of powers in and we won't there is a tradition in american thought. of states doing what they want despite what the federal government says of course that led to the civil war well now we see a revival of the same kind of philosophy well we don't like what washington says so

we're going to do our own thing we have the right to do it well no they don't they're part of this country whether they like it or not and and federal laws will be enforced. the obama administration says they're not going to take away people's guns they just want to ban certain types of assault rifles which are more appropriate for war than for civilian defense but which have become the weapon of choice used in mass shootings in america the administration also wants to enforce background checks on all gun sales currently forty percent of weapons in the u.s. are sold without any background check but gun rights advocates see it as the first step towards disarming the nation there will be more bad like she believes a belt he or in the future ok the people who got to do that would do that while people like jim are gearing up for the second coming of hitler supporters of gun control points to staggering statistics the gun murder rate in the us is almost twenty times higher than in the next twenty two richest

nations combined that's unimaginable in any other industrial democracy that an argument would be made in favor of owning guns for the purposes of overthrowing the government and made by the high court the solution. making democracy stronger. by guns which are most likely to curio america's split over priorities according to the pew research center currently fifty percent of americans say controlling gun ownership is the more important priority while forty six percent say it is to protect the right of americans to own guns people choose different ways to stand up for liberty as they see it one owner of a pizza shop in virginia beach offers a fifteen percent. discount to those who come in with guns all they have to do is show me that they're carrying a weapon. or they can show me their concealed weapons permit and they can get a discount miscellany says eighty percent of his customers have brought guns into

the pizza shop since he introduced the deal one even came in with an a k forty seven one question of why is this when people here talk about protecting their freedoms with weapons that are designed for war do these people have such a little tossed in their democratic system to the point when they think of boat is not enough to secure their rights and that they need a stack of deadly weapons at home to do that in washington. well guns have certainly sparked heated debate in the u.s. but some places seem to have taken safety precautions to the extreme online we have the story of a ten year old boy who was suspended from school because of a toy gun that was found in his backpack. it's.

a palestinian prisoner has a dollar a day in an israeli jail with one palestinian official demanding an international probe saying the man was killed during questioning now the incident is likely to further stoke tensions in the west bank which has already seen a week of violent clashes palestinians are protesting prison conditions and administrative detention which is a controversial israeli military practice that allows authorities to detain people indefinitely now earlier fierce clashes have broken out during a march in support of several hunger striking prisoners israeli soldiers have used tear gas and rubber bullets in response to demonstrators hurling stones and burning tires deteriorating conditions for detainees who have been on hunger strike for more than two hundred days now has led to widespread calls for their release and while the un she has urged tel aviv to iraq policy analyst says the current

international pressure on israel is just not enough. media solution that comes up to everybody's mind right now is just an immediate release of palestinian prisoners you don't have to go through a humiliating a process in order to get a fair trial if there was anything let alone most of the prisoners were actually released and. deal last year and they were. killed now one more time and put in prison again so the whole thing is unfair. in the prison on the other hand i really wish as every other palestinian wishes about just the. involvement of the international community human rights organization international organization just put more pressure on israel and especially the legal system because it just very unfair. bly a lot of it just as were the palestinian as we are constantly seen as a lower class or people who don't really deserve any rights people enjoy in the

world the treatment of palestinian prisoners isn't the only issue that tel of the seems to be courting controversy on. later this hour we report on how it's allowed a us israeli company to drill for oil on land or internationally considered to be part of syria also in syria itself the main rebel group pulls out of key international meetings aimed at helping to end the bloody civil war we'll look at what's next in the peace process. in mali a joint force of french and african troops us sustained their heaviest casualties so far in the military campaign against islamist rebels thirteen chatty and soldiers were killed in fighting in the north meanwhile the u.s. has deployed one hundred troops to neighboring the share in order to assist french side forces with intelligence support the french had intervened in their former african colony last month to stop an offensive by islamist rebels who are now waging a deadly guerrilla war the operation has won french president

a peace prize from the u.n. cultural agency unesco for quote his valuable contribution to stability in mali or social justice activist rosie manji says the award could simply encourage further foreign intervention in africa. but so what is this reward actually encouraging it presumably encouraging others to follow the example of the french over invading africa of occupied territories in africa it's an invasion on behalf of nato and the us and its african troops and is aimed at the economic and political interests of empire particularly your friends the problem here is that this is a political crisis and can be resolved only by political means by sending in the warriors the troops the planes and the bombing actually doesn't resolve the problem and as we can see it's actually exacerbate it and they claim that they will be in going to have to come into mali by a government but it has been an illegitimate government and it's outrageous that

the u.n. should do so should such or such a policy i guess that unesco feels that this is what what needs to be rewarded the u.k. has been stripped of its aaa crown in a huge jolt to the british government's what is raining agency says that there are many years of trouble ahead for the country because of its growing debt the opposition has dubbed the move a catastrophic failure by the british by if he meanwhile remains adamant that his a sturdy policy will not change the present serato shakespear says the strategy is completely ignoring the plight of the people. back to the matter this is the rating agencies rank your odds form off part of a global elite which thinks it can suck you off from the gulf nation and over time is not a son with whether or not people have jobs whether or not living standards are

declining they claim that the independents have something to add to the observations they did not notice the great classes coming in two thousand and eight and the reason why they didn't use is that they assume the whole system is working well and only has ups downs and they can't see this become profoundly profit things and got out of hand and it's going downhill. in bed with the global elite and with the existing governments in a gigantic conspiracy against the bulk of the people. well coming up next chrysler and stacy herbert present america kept yet more of it away for europeans to escape their growing economic hardship take a look. suicide by rollercoaster of course is a european who's invented this aesthetic death machine and that looks like the solution to the economic crisis across europe because bankers system. so this is different police assisted suicide or people run out into a hail of bullets hoping to get killed because they have lost all hope here it's

banker assisted suicide so you let your bankers perform the glock rollercoaster of financial a proxy is it talks to the death machine and with the hope that you won't survive because you'd rather not live in a world where barclays bank runs your government like so many puppets on a string. they will get the rest of that show in about fifteen minutes time for now i'll be back after a short break. sometimes

you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard is a big. three . three. three. three. three. video for your media. free media r t v dot com.

welcome back i'm lucy catherine ave watching our team syria's main opposition group the syrian national coalition says that it is pulling out of a series of international gatherings looking to resolve the deadly civil conflict there the group will skip the friends of syria meeting in a role as well as schedule talks in russia and the u.s. over what it sees as a lack of international condemnation of the all saudi government the rebels accused umask us of multiple civilian killings although some have pill and similar accusations on them opposition militias are widely suspected of being behind a devastating bomb blast in damascus on thursday that is thought to have killed about one hundred people syrian problem form activist al maher walk off says the western powers will be losing their grip on the rebels and the opposition isn't interested in talks. we are being told now is that they should have a sort of contribute to a political solution rather than they are going to be heavily armed in order to

defeat the syrian government and they do not want to have any dialogue with the syrian government because all their strategy based in a sense on the syrian government falling and them coming as a substitute they do not have a lot of quality on the ground we also have at least for the rebel each one of them the political elite that are called the national council to see the national commission so all they are interested in is for the government to form they know that the western society the western countries have invested a lot in them both in money and time and so on in organizing them and they think that they could probably make a stand here with regards to what they see is the policy this is a bit funny because now if they choose to get out of this sort of international friends of syria meeting then the western communities really would have no leverage whatsoever in the syrian crisis well huntress could be trying to capitalize the rest syria crisis to mask as as fighting a war at home israel has given a u.s.

israel and mixed the area in a move that is not recognized internationally the strategic area has seen except extensive israeli settlement construction it is also the science of a major israeli wind turbine project the golan stymies has has been at the heart of previous talks between israeli and syrian leaders damascus is demanding its full return and there was concern that as the syrian revolt threatens the president bashar assad's rule israel is digging in its heels on the golan heights it was also an observation that on the eve of almost every kind of all visits to 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 french movie star gerard depardieu as they're all fully

actually do what's being proposed it's actually using the same kind of technology which is indistinguishable from other kinds of filtering surveillance systems used in news around the world now as clinton highly evolved for installing it but once you do you can be use for any purpose we often hear governments praising internet freedom abroad so for example in the context of the arab spring but i'm unable to honor that home. or recent study has shown that three d. printers can recreate parts of the human body by using injectable gel made of living cells the discovery that certainly captures the end in imagination somewhat i mean could technology then surely be used to clone for example human beings what about resurrecting someone from the past laurie harshness has hit the streets of the big apple to find out only arcturus would like to bring back to life.
