here is really soldiers took me over there there were two bags and they told me to open them but i didn't know how to do it. he was terrified of the abandoned briefcases which the soldiers thought could be booby trapped and his frightened family forced to watch one of us of one of them put his hand on my son shoulder and made him go into the toilet cubicle i heard a few shots fired soon afterwards i felt like i was dying my little daughter he was with me kept saying they killed him and yet it was five years ago that israel supreme court made the law crystal clear human shielding is an absolute absolute no no injuring civilians deliberately is absolutely prohibited but the reality on the ground is still very different you had a show spent his army years in the palestinian territories he knew the supreme court's ruling but watched his sergeant ignore it so did he and the soldiers serving under him so what we did is we just bumped into

a house nearby house we grabbed one of the kids we're talking with us put them in the front of the patrol you just walk your patrol in the village with your kid and then no one for a start one hundred fifty complaints were filed about the way soldiers behaved in the gaza war two years ago but only forty seven criminal investigations were ever carried out most of them have since been closed but i think that to ask a combat soldier and serve in the occupied territories where you use palestinians as human shield is like to ask you to drink coffee in the morning but israeli lawyers say convicting the two soldiers is to the i.d.f. scribus there are always soldiers who step out of line that's that's part and parcel unfortunately of running a military operation to say that as a general phenomenon as i.d.f. soldiers you use human shields that's absurd. for much of the family they take come first they finally be getting justice even if it's only against ranking soldiers and not the commanders they accuse of allowing human shields behind the laws back

here jerusalem. here with our team live from moscow coming up for you in a few minutes using the dollar as the ultimate weapon with continued print billions of dollars to stay afloat there are rising fears the consequences could be devastating. but first the release of nearly four hundred thousand secret u.s. documents on the war in iraq is stirring up a storm there's outrage in baghdad as iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki says the leaks aimed at undermining political stability in the country the war logs published by online whistleblower wiki leaks details thousands of iraqi deaths over the past six years molecules brushing aside allegations that death squads under his command were involved in that some of the killings the premier struggling to hold on to power being on able to form a government after parliamentary elections in march to talk more about this we're now joined live from baghdad by martin who is the middle east expert correspondent

for the guardian daily thanks for being with us martin do you think prime minister maliki is really concerned here about the fragile stability of iraq or is he more worried about his own political future. i think the last hour i think these are a series of very damaging allegations for him at a time when mr maliki is trying to cast himself as a man for all the people here the key thing in the allegations that applied to him was that he sent a post count to terrorism units who were personally accountable to him to do his bidding for him in the community outside the bounds of of iraqi laura whatever iraqi law that there was at that time that is being perceived in some quarters this is him using his power to impose a almost his sectarian will. he does have something to think about now he does have something to fear from a voting public that have been very reluctant to get him back into the top job now we've been getting reports from iraq you people who are reportedly saying that the

revelations published by week you leaks come as no surprise is that really the case . there were seven years of brutalization here it was a particularly tough period in iraq's history as we all know i think many of us those who covered it in those who have been part of this and winding series of terribly violent events have become conditioned to bad news from this war especially during the years of two thousand and five two thousand and six and zero seven when the wiki leaks leaks actually do tend to focus on people had known bad things that happened then it doesn't appear to be a great surprise that american soldiers have been accused of looking the other way or indeed sending the detainees to iraqi brigades which were known for torture and other forms of treatment so you know it has been received is almost

like a vindication of what people had no one had gone on here but there are no great surprises about exactly what had happened martin what about the attitude of iraqis to the fifty thousand strong u.s. assistance force stationed in the country now is there any sign that that has changed after this latest. book for the last three or four months it's been very hard to find an iraqi unit i should say an american unit anywhere around iraq we do not see them anymore we don't see them on the road from the green zone into the airport we don't see them around baghdad i think there has been a general acceptance that the occupation as we have known it here for since the invasion is not the same in fact it isn't an occupation it's taking the americans a couple of weeks to get an appointment with mr maliki another official. now they don't act as military overlords and the iraqis don't fear them as they did in terms of any vengeance that might be wrought against them i don't think so because the nature of the whole campaign has changed so dramatically that the americans don't

feature so daily in the iraqis lives anymore. who do you think if anyone should be held accountable for. the latest atrocities that has revealed washington the iraqi prime minister who should pay for this. the justice system in this country is feeble it's not independent. in most quarters it isn't the institutions are very brittle institutions have been run it's five tims a lot of militias were accountable to various ministers it's going to be very hard to bring people to account in the society for things that happen for five years ago at a time with things where even more chaotic than they are now there will be some calls for mr maliki's powers to be reined in for him not to be able to send militias who are personally answerable to him onto the streets again other ministries will face the same calls as well but in terms of accountability in terms of people being brought to justice for what had happened during that period it's going to be very

hard and we can leave our promising to keep the secret files coming what new revelations can we expect do you think things are going to get worse. the street the mood on the street at the moment is not good it's just doesn't feel right out there and people are fearful of the future that they do fear that the vacuum that we have seen continued for almost eight months now is really going to lead to something which we don't want to see again and that is blood on the streets . that could change but it's just doesn't seem the things are tracking in the right direction people seem to be falling behind sectarian lines again there doesn't seem to be a will to trust the politicians. when they say trust us we are going to embrace a secular across six iraq we haven't seen anything moving towards those pledges in the last seven or eight months and if we if we had to take the mood of the streets

then things my get a little bit worse now just briefly martin do you think these latest wiki leaks are true. i think they are a series of assertions that were made by officers in the field these assertions were by and large what the people who are writing them believe happened. we're in the unusual position of not being able to test them. sometimes we can cross reference what was suggested in these files against what was what is already on the public record so i think that there was a good faith amongst the people that were writing them down bearing in mind that were not meant to be leaks so it's not like they're rushing for any other audience than the military superiors so by and large i think that the wiki leaks trials are indeed credible. that's not to say that every single assertion that was made is correct live from baghdad that's martin speaking to us thank you for your time the

middle east correspondent for the guardian. you're welcome. we've got more on that story including interviews and in that coverage on our web site r t v dot com you can find out what the wiki leaks spokesman has to say about the exposé and why he believes secrecy leads to corruption. but rather football found out they are check out our blog section for an in-depth review of the latest game interesting facts and much more. who controls the world wide web well russia and other countries are calling for an interim. nobody to govern the internet who is currently coordinated by an american organization but with virtually anyone able to access the net it's become a powerful tool that can pose a massive security threat which is why many now feel it should be managed globally

as alice had reports. the world wide web all knowing all conquering it crosses borders and breaks down barriers but can something that we've allowed to become so vast ever be properly managed current leads the united states that's tossed with attempting to regulate the web but the united nations international telecommunications union or id you think they could do a better job at this conference earlier this month in mexico its members announce that problem an item into the internet requires global corporation russia's representative agrees. we have a very good dialogue with america but we believe the threats now facing the web a true big necessitates an international response and he wants countries a united states of li tackle terrorist extremist and child pornography networks but

the complex debate playing out on the other side of the atlantic probably won't be playing on the mind of your average web user these game is enjoying a saturday night in the russian capital internet cafes or club this one calls itself a splitting up all over the city at an increasingly alarming rate and that's because they're feeding a growing demand him off the likes of all ages and backgrounds to get together socially even to just surf the web or is this close to doing compete against each other playing very latest interactive computer games and that's largely thanks to russia's burgeoning telecommunications industry bringing high speed wireless networks to the masses with russia's new wave of scarily technologically savvy tweezers and bloggers paving the way youngsters like these now this may look like an internet cafe complete with state of the art matlab tops but this is actually school russia style for thirteen year old alexander and his classmates keypad

a mouse are now as much a part of learning is the textbook and pen. school that sort of gets more interesting with computers even if you have to do boring research or crown facts without it you're only taught things but with a computer you're showing things for these students and teachers i see features in almost every subject lesson and every aspect of the school's functioning skype and online messaging have replaced the notice board overhead tannoy and school report cards but its headmaster insists that all this is used alongside more traditional means of educating he also believes his school is not a rarity in russia but i think it's part of a growing trend but what's important is to use this technology properly to hold the learning process i think computers in schools will become more widespread but it's crucial to understand that no computer could have a substitute teacher. as the question of who should regulate our use of the

internet rumbles on its reach in our dependence on it continues to grow saturday nights in moscow may never be the same again alice a bit arty ask. well i have more for you on russia's proposals for global governance of the internet when we hear from the country's communications minister in about fifteen minutes. now the u.s. dollar dropped again on monday just a week before the federal reserve is expected to announce a new plan to pump yet more money into the economy it comes despite an agreement to avoid currency wars at a weekend meeting of the g. twenty financial ministers in south korea but more and less to reports many believe the greenback remains america's ultimate war machine. the united states has waged well known wars in afghanistan. and in iraq. but some argue it's also waging a lesser known battle with the united states leading financial world war two train

foreign reserves. functionally to make other economies pay tribute to a war being fought not with force but with credit in this war us dollars are the bullets and they are cheap ammunition because the us federal reserve has been printing and pumping billions upon billions of them into the economy federal reserve out of balance sheet of about eight hundred fifty billion dollars and that shot up to two point one trillion dollars more than one point five trillion dollars spent buying bonds and home mortgages from banks in the last two years to try to prop up the u.s. economy this policy called quantitative easing is supposed to stimulate the economy lowering interest rates and enabling banks to lend more but it hasn't exactly helped the average american but the united states sets interest rates very low and tries to open up large routes to one being that american corporations in america investors take money borrow money and then they go all over the world to buy things

the money leaves the u.s. because low interest rates mean investors aren't getting much return on assets at home so why does this matter for you why should you care well let's talk about the things speculators are investors like to buy things like soft commodities wheat sugar soybeans those affect your food prices i'll take these souls investors who are lots of money and a soft commodities i mean global food prices your food prices go up like happened in two thousand and seven and two thousand a. but they all put their money into oil the price of energy for most of the world that consumes it goes up to. and when you see us are acting like an a.t.m. for the world pumping cash into the economy trillions of dollars this is the scenario you're helping to create. and pushing down the value of the u.s. dollar of the international reserve currency while pushing up the value of other

currencies and we're hearing an outcry from the developing countries because those are the hottest markets for foreign investment now but countries affected by the flood of u.s. dollars are now taking steps to protect their own currencies and their exports from getting more expensive we believe it's very important u.s. policy makers are rattling their sabers at the i.m.f. and g twenty meetings they're calling for countries to let their currencies rise but with no mention of the declining dollar there is no doubt in my readers it is. very much in terms of power and. they want to keep it but as the u.s. appears poised to fire off a new round of quantitative easing the rest of the world is fighting back and sort of having this multipolar world led by the i.m.f. and the world trade organization with a very heavy influence for the u.s. government and the united states treasury we're seeing lots of governments going around the world cutting two party deals cutting deals to trade not in the reserve

currency but in local currencies fighting back against the u.s. is financial world war that in the end may prove a losing battle lauren mr r.t. new york. it's coming up to nineteen minutes past the hour let's take a look at some world news in brief for you first to afghanistan where nato officials say an air strike has killed fifteen militants in helmand province locals say several civilians were also killed in the attack which they say hit a mosque now denies hitting the place of worship and causing civilian casualties. and staying in afghanistan president karzai has confirmed his office receives around the house one million euro. as for me ron twice a year but insists it's above board his comments come in response to a u.s. media report accusing iran of giving cash to ask an official to promote arraignment interest in the country's cause i says several states gives it ministration money in the form of aid including the us. six people have been killed and more than
