minus twenty outside by the subzero temperature is not a barrier for these daredevils the morning welcome the group of amateur runners would have biting frost it's hard to imagine what exactly possesses an individual to throw on a pair of sneakers and go for a jog keep in mind that any exposed skin will no doubt fall victim to the piercing cold however each one of these enthusiastic has a personal goal to accomplish and the instructors are ready to help achieve that task no matter how big or small people who are the absolute we get very different people here some of them are in great health some are less so but we get from restless from the mill to servicemen just workers and they'll want to try a different direction in life. the running club employs instructors likes it again and uses several moscow bork's throughout the year offering free of charge training to anyone summertime is by far the most popular season for the club with hundreds

and even thousands of people participating foreigners who are working or studying in russia are also a regular sight and many found this to be a perfect way to meet new friends so you share with them. the same passions the same feelings as is' or so before and this is the. thing that makes us even if it's a them communal state. maybe we can call those that longer but. i would i think in addition to regular training sessions with a professional instructor this running club also offers an interactive experience on its website but the real challenge isn't online it's outside where true heroes are made in an unforgiving russian winter room on cost or of moscow being the love of sport so that's all the sport for the moment so we've got more.

wealthy british soil it's time to write. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in cars a report on. russia says no to regime change in syria and votes against what it calls an unbalanced un resolution that fails to address the dangers posed by armed insurgents. fuelling anteroom rhetoric israel accuses islamic state of targeting its diplomats after tried police link a group of iranians to explosions in bangkok. euro zone leaders decide the terms of the next bailout package for entitled greece the report on how some new free countries managing to avoid the worst of europe's crisis.

live from moscow twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. the majority of the u.n. general assembly has adopted a non-binding resolution that piles more pressure on the syrian president to step down russia was among those who voted against the motion maintains the conflict should be solved through a gradual political transition led by the syrian people. as the latest from new york. this is very much a symbolic kind of message on the part of the international stage because you have an overwhelming majority of the u.n. members in the general assembly supporting a resolution that essentially endorses the arab league plan which calls for syrian president bashar al assad to step down it also condemns syrian authorities for

violating human rights fundamental right or freedoms and using force against civilians it also calls for u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon to appoint an envoy to syria this text of resolution condemns syrian authorities now the reason for all countries did not support this resolution is because they argue it's on balance most of those now would because you know order to resolve the syrian crisis there's a need to uphold principle which no one seems to object to the violence must be stopped by all sides in this series solutions can only be found through an inclusive political led by the syrians themselves today's arab league draft resolution on the situation in the syrian arab republic does not meet these criteria. to a large extent it reflects the worrying trend that causes concern to attempt to isolate the syrian leadership reject contact with it and impose an external formula

for a political settlement but. russia has in the past of course offered to facilitate a dialogue between the syrian officials and representatives of the opposition groups to host those negotiations in moscow but now where you see the majority of the international community standing behind a plan that calls for president assad to step down the opposition groups will most likely not be running to a negotiation table. well in syria violence is getting worse nearly a year off at first with government troops doing all they can to crush the on the insurgency both sides accuse each other of committing atrocities but the facts are hard to confirm due to heavy restrictions on foreign media activity r.t. correspondent earth has the latest from the conflict torn country. damascus one day to funerals the men in both coffins were killed falling victim to the ongoing crisis in syria but at the hands of different sides i.

said dick thirty seven reportedly received five bullets to his chest and his head has become the first religious leader slain in the capital four plus hours for announcements those who knew him say the mom had tried to stay in the middle of the present crisis but couldn't help condemning the armed and to government forces that he blamed for bloodshed in his country meaning that i would like to go back a few months ago we then heard people talking with words like freedom and peaceful where is freedom and peace simply kill all those against them is this defeat and they want to see you in. a brutal irony that sheikh subject himself was gunned down by those whose fathers had put himself against. them until he was killed because he was totally for reform and the end of clashes did you know many want chaos and the

hope is that because we are this is the message to all islamic leaders the word of truth may cost your life more and be the you tried to defend your country stop the violence or stop bloodshed you are not safe if you're a sinner of money people paid a price for truth he was one of the no fault of for some a traitor for others an internet page of the opposition news network sharm gives a chilling picture of the hatreds driving conflict in syria. he was killed and his soul was sent to hell this is what he deserves there is no armed people there is no believe violence is a tool to change the political situation in syria people don't have political issues. and he saw it is really a very deep crisis very very assertive and you will see me turn to a demonstration or a protest was that exactly what happened at this funeral procession.

the those who gathered to pay tribute to the show to do an end to government protests have not only brought flowers and greet but also political slogans and demands man think hard when i think her afraid for our children and people and brothers and sisters. assad is killing us security forces were firing at the mosque but people inside didn't do anything wrong. witnesses say the public to quote the young boy at the threshold of the mosque where his body fell inside we have in islam. for respect shown with for respect with holy mosques and we believe we have to avoid any kind of violence in mosques but unfortunately with this kind of crimes with this kind of dodgy the situation there

is no hole in this for any doctor i have bashed from the islamic studies center says there is a frightening symmetry both believe. war. as a reaction. the government said that and the opposition said this seems. that with the fall in schools and even more violence syria seems to find itself in a vicious circle with little hope of finding their way out of. damascus syria or syrian section c. is being aided by foreign powers pissing their own agendas in the reason that's the view of award winning investigative journalist. we're seeing a similar pattern to what we saw in libya and that is this the western countries clearly want bashar assad out just as much as they wanted khadafi out and we are seeing this introduction of tremendous amounts of force very skilled sophisticated

operations like the assassination of that cleric like the assassination of a general the other day in damascus very skilled operatives are bringing this battle right home to assad and that is not the sign of a traditional peaceful uprising that's not to say that there are not a large number of people in syria who would like to get rid of assad but i think that that sentiment of part of the population is being dramatically helped along by outside forces. what are still ahead for you this a year after the uprising against gadhafi ongoing violence in the claims of torture in libya crossed a dark shadow on the country's under vs celebrations. and the foreign media has a new darling russian blogger and anticorruption activist. who's more radical and aggressive. type police are searching for two more suspects linked to

a failed terror plot targeting two israeli diplomats in bangkok to arraign have already been detained there are explosions in thailand tehran already under enormous international pressure over its nuclear program denies accusations it was behind the attack when reports. like the battle drones are growing louder and louder with israel continuing to this really harsh rhetoric towards iran accusing them essentially of terrorizing the entire world community there was a harsh statement from tel aviv which called to impose paralyzing sanctions on tehran all this while iran has just made it clear that they are indeed ready to sit down for talks to continue talks on its nuclear program but the prime minister of israel has made a statement saying that iranian aggression should be stopped so there of course that brings forth many theories that the military confrontation with iran is imminent and nowhere are these fears more prominent than in israel according to the

latest polls less than fifty percent of the israelis support the idea of going to war with iran most of them believe that israel has enough problems of its own already already exists saying that you don't really need another confrontation with iran there is of course the issue of palestine which never really completely goes off the table then there is the rather strained relations with lebanon which some fear may escalate into a renewed conflict and the latest of those concerns of course is the issue of egypt where the muslim brotherhood said that they might reconsider a peace accord which they do have with israel in response to u.s. pressure in regards to the scandal so a lot of people in israel primarily are thinking that perhaps israel should stop the rhetoric it does carry on right now and focus in its internal problems around the problems on its borders rather than really push forth with aggressive rhetoric towards iran. well we're closely following developments surrounding iran online you

can vote on to r.t. don't come to get the latest updates america on this hardening is part u.s. intelligence that will challenge the islamic state to start any kind of military action against the country. and the off the mark of an inferno that took the lives of three hundred fifteen mates in. these questions over the actions of prison guards who actually met people. or not on you tube. today. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day.

russian blogger like saying of our own name has been heaped global praise for his anti corruption campaigning being compared by sun to wiki leaks to his sons but if abroad he's seen as a harsh critic of putin back home he's just as well known for his radical nationalist views and he sonali reports. he's the anti corruption crusader making waves in and outside of russia for his push for transparency and exposing a multi-billion dollar holes in state projects for political phenomenon blow good opposition dolling alexei live on the often gets glossy coverage and is rarely asked tough questions by international media whether comparing the vile need to julian assange or calling him one of the most influential new political figures he's hardly challenge to prominently praised and very present. a small print production of what is the very basis of the political system which would inform go

he's not just point when speaking at rallies which has been at their biggest numbers in decades because it's got. him. these are the good guys those that got these agreements you know who's going to scam the really don't because it's just nobody's popularity in major cities and on the web source in comparison with the rest of russia is good when you've got your foreign media coverage won't make him any more popular they keep writing about but his recognition rate in russia is only some three percent many russians who do know now barney do for his sometimes shocking nationalism. what if it was the words that dressed up as a dentist here he compares migrant workers to rotten teeth that need pulling out the i remember our with that would be what i see and hear non russian intruders to

. cockroaches smiling you'll need more than a current to kill them. with i'm still going to commit this but inside russia you find much more criticism of the blogger and his questionable connections to radicalism than abroad where it's usually buried barely mentioned or brushed off as a larger russian problem we tried calling contacting and finally caught up with not guard me but to no avail i didn't see it but i know that it was with. the person that's at the bottom of the group i didn't. know what you know it's not . actually took the seconds later he did find time to tell russia's real news agency he's ignored by much of the russian press because that's what. we're going to be the focus of the system at work not the other seemingly more ready to

speak ironically to non russian channels about the country's corruption problems and criticised the want to put forward a real solution rather than how to make sure russia is for russians and he said now r t moscow. well still to come this hour getting back on track find out how some european countries are on the road to recovery thanks to keep you away from the single currency as our business desk has more on that one of the unlucky ones again it's called to go in the spotlight as phish shows are in lisbon to the side of the country qualifies for the next challenge of bailout cash which according to goldman sachs isn't nearly enough and a why i'll have all the details about ten minutes time in our business but. libya is marking the first anniversary of the start of its nato backed uprising which brought down with mike duffy and to a brutal civil war the national transitional council which took charge is still

struck. to control the country i missed international recently or museums you see you're failing to protect your rights claiming thousands of gadhafi supporters are . inside libya the rebels are in the power struggle. and an economy scrum dependent journalist. covered events in real. time was predictable. there is actually no government in libya at the moment the n.c.c. is nothing more than a media show that there are hundreds of militias that control different parts of the country and this is one of gadhafi and the former libyan government always warned that this would happen so we are seeing that anybody who doesn't agree with this state of affairs by the western backed rebels is systematically prosecuted as you mentioned. have done a report showing that there is a systematic people who support about the not least the former permanent

representative of the united nations. human rights watch did a report on it basically say that he's been tortured to within an inch of his life and they called for him to either be brought before a court or released immediately to very important other figures to bring him and. philosophers just because they don't support the nato intervention in that country they have also been tortured to this day are being detained we actually don't know their status. but ongoing gunfight on the border between russia's republics of chechnya and pakistan has already taken the lives of seven police officers with six others injured special forces are fighting suspected terrorists as part of a counterterrorism operation thirteen officers have been killed in the past three days of learning three groups of militants are being hunted amid harsh weather conditions in mountainous terrain in the area where militants are thought to be hiding in. some well news in brief.
