ready to host the upcoming winter games. international news live from moscow this is an international with me thanks for joining us an estimated eight hundred thousand people including many women and children remain trapped in the rubble holed yarmouk palestinian refugee camp in southern damascus hundreds of relief parcels have managed to reach the counter for the first time in several months but that's too late for at least eighty five people who have died since the middle of last year from illness and starvation maria took a trip and signed the rebel and calais. another battleground of the brutal syrian war in the very heart of the country and at the edge of the regime stronghold this

is your new cullison and camp here in damascus that has been held by the militants for more than a year now we are not allowed to go any further because there are military people who are controlling situation here on the ground told us that the ras now i person and the raw armed man you are and this building but it's not only from bullets that people here are dying when we visit dozens already said to have died from starvation a year after the siege began food and water supplies a role but gone there's no food nothing to eat or drink the militants are inside as well and the soul of the prophet we want this to stop whatever guilty of we just want to go out they want to go out but they can't they're trapped those holding the camp only allow women and elderly men to go out briefly to bring in food a distributed by the syrian and palestinian officials together with the u.n.

their families remain inside so they have to return to the besieged camp and rest that much that well we're talking to one of like resident and old men behind those collapses to the ground level no one could tell us exactly why was there of. my god who are dying from hunger strike we can't take this anymore. oh humanitarian aid is the only achievement so far i ask those responsible how they know that the food they deliver will not fall into the militants hands they say no one can give any going t. . siege has become a popular tactic among rebel forces here in syria just recently we went to the industrial city of our drive outside damascus. according to army generals at least five thousand and three main trap their. sieges serve well to weaken an army is

capabilities keeping a large forces tied up for long periods of time but they have another go to euro do your own. they claim the syrian government is proceeding the palestinians in the camp if they want to invert the truth by saying the syrian government is part of the killing force as they don't do anything to protect the people they want the people to hit the regime. accusations over the next you know the syrian authorities allowed indeed government officials blame the militants for infiltrating into the cities in the first place and complain they can do little to fight back now lisa villains could be heard and thousands of ordinary people all over syria remain hostage inside their own homes waiting for help. already three years into this conflict that could prove very long wait indeed rif notional r.t. from syria. meanwhile the u.s.

secretary of state john kerry has asked russia to press syria into spacing out the removal of its chemical arsenal threatening the use of force if it's not eliminated by july and this comes after the first round of peace talks in switzerland between the government of bashar al assad and the western box opposition parties a situation has more. but west officials take on again this new vigorous rhetoric against assad's government saying that it is just not moving quickly enough in terms of eliminating the chemical weapons that it's promised to get rid of the crisis torn country most recently we heard from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry see that the process really needs to pick up the tempo that it's too slow and that if assad's regime doesn't listen something else would happen take a listen i would remind. the agreement that we reached in new york with the security council makes it clear that if there

are issues of noncompliance they will be referred to the security council for chapter seven now while all of this is going on it's important to keep in mind that syria's saying that the reasons for any delays are purely reasons of security that transferring these weapons is complicated because the country is torn by a crisis russia has echoed this position a representative of the foreign ministry has said that syria is in fact acting in good faith and that russia is willing to continue and provide more technical support but that moscow cannot in on itself carry and provide all of the support that syria needs so while these rigorous messages are coming from washington it seems that a much more are helpful approach continues to be a viable option syria started its chemical dissolve into after the u.n. russia and the u.s. helped broker a deal and averted a military strikes on the country by western powers in september last year. gordon

a former officer in the british on this chemical difference regiment believes the stand off between syria's government and opposition is humping the removal of its unconventional. they're always been great at doing this is a hugely ambitious plan and we're the leader of the russian federation of the u.s. we just wouldn't be here the majority of these chemicals and precursors a pretty much stock north of device because we know the sort of pointing that's going on in the contested areas has to go through and there's a big there are always still battle going on just twenty five provinces from an attack here there are many sides to this and the opposition do not appear to be outraged. realize that un resolution which has the chemicals moved out of syria there are more stories ahead for you including britain's shoplifting. within store that's skyrocketing to

scheduled another meeting separately with the u.s. secretary of state john kerry and many are now criticizing this format saying that there are lots of globally important issues which perhaps should be the priority like the coffee in syria for instance also u.s. global surveillance programs the news about them created a huge wave of criticism here in germany and of course issues like the u.s. plans to build an eighty missile defense system in europe and so many are saying that perhaps even though it's clear the events in ukraine or of extreme importance perhaps they shouldn't be the issues to kick off this conference meanwhile unclear of the protesters are arming themselves further. what. they're coming up with potato cannons to use against security forces built from pipes and filled with gas from hair spray or other aerosols it may look funny that

is capable of launching a potato at high speeds and can result in injuries protesters are enjoying major support from big u.s. which is mulling sanctions against the ukrainian authorities political blogger alexander mercury's says there's no doubt where western loyalties lie. it's an attempt to legitimize the opposition to and in effect de legitimize the government if you remember mr azhar of the prime minister when he went to downforce when he was still prime minister he is invitation was disinvited and now we see opposition leaders. being invited to the munich security conference instead the fact is however what goes on in munich or washington or or wherever or brussels is one thing what good what happens in the ukraine is something completely different in his in the ukraine itself where this issue will ultimately be decided and it was

the unico which research control regardless of how it's done the u.s. will have to deal with him. can a complaint on facebook become a real bell while history it can report on that coming up after this break. what is the who is writing it and where is it leading to seeking to bearings we seem to turn to the news to take heat for the medium is the message and this most by will mean the planet is now the method for defining clicked of reality each night if it's not on the news it didn't happen right. to. new york london. the whole world is. going to be true

that's a direct quote what gave you the right to behave in that way well look there is there there performing a defensive mission so you know every day between iraq and afghanistan the company did more than one hundred thousand missions protective missions and no one under our care was ever killed or injured and each time there was a and event where our men had to use their weapons it was documented in of all those times it use the weapons it still comes out to less than one half of one percent. of those of those incidents so the idea that they were trigger happy is just it's not accurate. is really democracies embracing cyberspace the government has admitted it pays some

students to say nice things about it on social networks and now it's using facebook rather than face to face meetings to ask the public or they want policy explain. there's a new kind of politics blowing through cyberspace the parliaments on facebook and its users are the legislators it's very simple citizens right in the page what they want to change and sometimes even better if they write how and we take the commons and choose and pick a member of parliament that this deal is suitable to that. issue we are doing a lobby a lobby for the citizens with its ears to the ground this user generated democracy is turning citizens into politicians for a long time not to be was fed up with the high cost of renting in tel aviv she posted about it her suggestions metamorphosed into a bull to regulate real estate agents fees it's now

a vote away from becoming law i think it's definitely a more direct way to the government and they're actually listening and they're doing things with it which is amazing rather than feeling threatened by this new brand of cyber activists more and more politicians are seeing the potential of partnering with their constituents online within that the public should be a partner in creating policy in legislation social media is a very very powerful to in politics this will be a mini revolution in everything. through the connections between us and the public which right now is not enough is not good enough the next bill's already in the making granting single mothers cheaper life insurance the social media i think will be the next platform of politics all over the world it might have been the ancient greeks who introduced the world to democracy but today's generation is one click away from perfecting it paul asli r.t. ten of of ahead for you this hour it's our special report homeless in new york but

i've always had mixed feelings about speed traps it seems like it's a waste of the police officers time but on the other hand they sure do make people paranoid and drive more slowly one man from texas is completely sure his opinion about speed traps and he set out to save his felt texans from being fined for speeding and much more importantly from potential traffic accidents caused by the hidden police and now he's the one who is in deep trouble according to fox news runner martin faces a misdemeanor charge for violating frisco texas sign ordinance that says that you may only stand around holding a sign on private property martin claims that he was doing the exact same thing as a speed limit sign reminding people to slow down and i think ultimately he is right you should be able to tell other people where the police are setting up speed traps because that will cause them to drive more slowly which is the real goal of speed traps in the first place the only reason local authorities would be against this is because they love the income that comes from a nice big pile of speeding tickets i hope that mr martin finds a way to go right back to holding his sign but this time on private property precious my opinion.

need to break the law on more then some way around until. hundred children all for them they also found that child abusers convicted child abusers got access to those kids. will be a common phenomenon and what i'm saying is overall it's an amazingly rosy picture in that adopted kids international as well as domestic are treated better than regular kids growing up in untroubled biological families in the united states. and. all. the very reason. problems with.
