and yet it was five years ago that israel's supreme court made that all crystal clear human shielding is an absolute absolute no no endangered civilians deliberately is absolutely prohibited but the reality on the ground is still very different you who to show 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 took him with us put him 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 sixty complaints were filed about the way soldiers behaved in the gaza war two years ago but only forty seven criminal investigations where if i tell you doubt most of them have since been closed 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 is a general phenomenon i.d.f. soldiers you use human shields that's absurd for much of the family they take comfort they finally be getting justice even if it's only against low ranking soldiers and not the commanders they accuse of allowing human shields behind the laws back here r.t. jerusalem. coming up shortly tonight the green bag lives used as a weapon the u.s. is expected a problem or fashion for the economy despite fears of triggering a global currency war the latest ahead. the largest leak of secret u.s. military documents in history is stirring up a storm of reaction as outrage in baghdad as the iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki says it threatens the balance of power in the country the iraq war files published online whistleblower wiki leaks detail fifteen thousand violent deaths

over the past six years previously unaccounted for maliki's brushing aside allegations the death squads under his command revolved in some of the killings the premier is currently struggling to hold on to power after being unable to form a government following a parliamentary election in march live now to london chris nine times there is from the stop the war coalition thanks for being with us tonight what do you read into this do you think prime minister al maliki is more worried about the future of iraq or is own future on the political scene what's your take. well i think he's worried about his own future i think he's worried about his legitimacy and so we should be because these allegations are very very serious absolutely despicable. both the iraqi security forces and the american and the british forces of occupation in in an appalling light how much of a difficulty is this week he leaks leaks from for him now do you think and his political career some people saying he's kind of overreacting to it. well i think

is no doubt extremely damaging i mean on the one hand a lot of iraqis will know. the you know we'll know the truth behind these allegations anyway because they've been on the receiving end but i think for it to come out publicly on the international stage in this way will seriously damage mali and i think that will be a very big problem for him and it's also a very very big problem as i say for the for the u.s. so i think you know no one benefits from this none of the kind of. the players who are trying to dominate iraq actually come out well out of this and what's the real current state of the country do you think u.s. combat troops of course pulled out of iraq this summer but there is still a considerable american presence in the country some fifty thousand is it still an occupation as you see it. well i mean there's only one reason why the americans are staying there they say they're there to kind of you know to try and be advisers but

you're talking about fifty thousand fully armed u.s. combat soldiers they're there to to try to. maintain u.s. interest to try and maintain u.s. control of the. key resources in particular the oil in the region so i think they've already been used even since the pullout they've been used in fallujah a number of times and there's no doubt the cases where the troops have been used in anger so to speak so i think they are there to try and. us again many u.s. influence in the countries or not since it's a continuation of the occupation unfortunately none the less was interesting comment that we heard earlier on today on this channel was speaking to the guardian mideast correspondent he was saying that as far as he sees it at least there were less american troops there was a less american presence on the streets to be seen so it did seem that they were taking more of a back step but nonetheless

a what's likely to happen when all the american troops leave the country that's no plan for what late twenty levon is network with iraqis be able to carry out their own security event and provide for themselves. well i mean judging by the wiki leaks revelations. the security forces the iraqi security forces have very little legitimacy in the country and they're obviously deeply implicated in the most horrific. torture and repression and abuse of prisoners so i think it's it doesn't bode well for the future of the country and the country's very deeply divided on one of the legacies one of the many horrific legacies of the u.s. led occupation has been to divide the country clearly long communal lines along religious lines so there's a massive tension between the shia and the sunnis which you know is the kind of forward line in iraqi society there is continuing to drive

a very high level of. sectarian violence so you combine that with a clearly. security service that is every bit as brutal as the dams was and the prospects for the ordinary people in iraq look look fairly bleak unfortunately and briefly your thoughts about the wiki leaks washington has of course slammed this last leak and the publication saying that it puts lives and national security at risk do they have a fair point. well i mean the response of hillary clinton and other spokespeople for the u.s. and some of the spokespeople for the british government and the mit when they say that the big problem here is that these these factions never come out i mean it's it's it's beyond hypocrisy it's beyond. you know i mean it's a deeply shocking thing for them to say because what is what is apparent here is that there was. a massive level of abuse. of the massacre

of of surrendering soldiers by suppression of the figures of casualties in iraq caused by the occupation. systematically lying to the public about what the iraqi public and the global public about the kind of impact of the bourne iraq for them to say the problem that is that is that the truth has come out is absolutely shocking what the wiki leaks disclosures show is that the occupation of iraq was a catastrophe it was a brutal and and vicious occupation that led to massive suffering and misery for the people of that country which is what the antiwar movement always said would happen and you know i mean this is we warned back in two thousand and three before the invasion that it would lead to nothing but misery for the iraqi people and unfortunately these leaks prove once and for all that that is exactly why live from london christiane and from the stock war coalition thanks for your thoughts on the

program tonight. and we've got more on the whistleblowing scummed including interviews and in-depth coverage on our home page r.t. dot com there you can find out what the a wiki leaks spokesman i did say to us about the exposé why he believes secrecy leads to corruption journalists also spoke to the program yes they get to see that sunlight aleksey dot com plus life from the elderly could be about to get brighter here in russia find out what authorities have in store to lift their standard of living again that's on the home page dot com. internet access is no longer a luxury it's rapidly become a vital resource for millions of users the web's currently coordinated by an american organization but with virtually anyone able to access the net these days

it's become a powerful tool to compose a massive security threat to which is why many countries now feel it should be managed globally as out easily separate 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 currently it's the united states that time off with regulating the day to day running of the web through a partnership with california based company i can bump the united nations international telecommunications union i t u wants to start playing a bigger role as well as this conference earlier this month in mexico it's me it's one hundred members decided that effective management of the internet requires a global intergovernmental cooperation. governments want to have an equal role in the policies that govern internet not in the regulatory not

in regulating the day to day running of internet not in mileage ing the unique identifiers of the internet which is the role of icon but in the public policies just as you have in every domain in health in education you have eleven un organizations where governments come together on agree on international public policies is the same thing which applies to the internet. russia's representatives agree it's. not possible it's not we have a very good dialogue with america but we believe the threats now facing the web are too big and the city had an international response only once countries are united can effectively tackle terrorist extremist and child pornography networks human of the more. he understands america's reluctance to lose control of what it perceives to be a knowledge we'll do you mind. if it's essential that we're capable of reaction swiftly to any new technologies or legal issues and that's why the i.t.v.

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. 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 the united states sets interest rates very low and tries to open up. that american corporations in america investors take money borrow money and then they go all over the world and 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

. best like to buy things like soft commodities wheat sugar soybeans those affect your food prices i'll take these so investors for lots of money and a soft commodities i mean global food prices your food prices go up like happened in two thousand and seven in two thousand and eight. but if 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. 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 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 yet 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 was no mention of the declining dollar there is no doubt. i think very much in terms of. are. they want to keep it as the u.s. appears poised to fire off a new round of quantitative easing the rest of the world is fighting back instead 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 currency 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 well you know this monday evening the
