he was with me kept saying they killed him. and yet it was five years ago that israel's supreme court made the law 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 had a show rules and 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 insisted 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 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 do is say convicting the two soldiers is to the i.d.f. creative's 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 it's i.d.f. soldiers you use human shields that's absurd for much of the family they take comfort they find to 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. surely tonight on our team the greenback kids used as a weapon the u.s. is explain the problem or coercion to its economy despite fears of triggering a global currency war we examine that story ahead tonight. first the largest leak or secret u.s. military documents in history stirring up a storm of reaction there's outrage in baghdad as a vacuum. minister nuri al maliki says it threatens the balance of power in the

country the iraq war files published on my whistleblower wiki leaks detail fifteen thousand violent deaths over the past six years previously unaccounted for a man accused of brushing aside allegations the death squads under his command were involved in some of the killings the premier's currently struggling to hold on to power after being unable to move government following a parliamentary election in march mideast expert james den slow from king's college london believes al maliki's overreacted to the latest wiki leaks. to be very doubtful to imagine that the wiki leaks the soldiers responsible for giving these documents to them had the undermining of the iraqi government in mind when they chose this date let's bear in mind that there hasn't been an iraqi government for seven months so it's not as likely as if there's many dates to choose from when it comes to releasing this in this sense but i think that there are documents certainly do point to particular problem with the prime ministerial office in iraq

it's an office that's been significantly empowered as part of the u.s. exit strategy with its individual sort of special forces units that have supposedly run internal prisons that these documents are now shown so maliki who is almost that close to the finishing line it seems at the moment with relations with iran and syria sort of confirming his role as the next prime minister now seems that he has another hurdle to jump across this is u.s. military documents really unlike any previous media story all anecdotal reports from iraq this is words from their own mouth which makes it very difficult for them to deny it and they're not really doing that if you actually listen to what the pentagon and state department spokesman is saying what they talk about is the critical nature of the nature of the leaks and whether u.s. soldiers or informers or people working with us will be put in danger by them they're talking about the method of the message rather than the message itself now the message itself paints a very different picture of the iraq the americans have been telling us about the last seven years and nowhere is that more true. the issue of body counts general

tommy franks who led the invasion in two thousand and three said quite matter of actually we don't do body counts but americans have been doing body counts and those body counts now combined with the iraqi body count of n.g.o.s and agencies say that some fifteen thousand iraqi deaths have not been accounted for so the history of iraq is being written by these documents which are as i say from the americans miles and selves as part of chris nine from the stop the war coalition he told me the u.s. occupation of iraq the country into a ticking time bomb well i mean judging by the wiki leaks revelations. the security forces the iraqi security forces have very little digital mysie 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 really 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 a kind of fault line in iraqi society there is continuing to drive a very high level of. sectarian violence so you combine that with with a clearly. a 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 . chris not in there for the stop the war coalition we've got more on the whistle blowing scandals one including interviews and in-depth coverage on our home page r.t. dot com want to check some of them ready find out what the wiki leaks spokesman has to say about the expose a why he believes secrecy leads to corruption. plus life for the elderly could be

that time off with regulating the day to day running of the web through a partnership with california based company i can about the united nations international telecommunications union i t u wants to stop playing a bigger role as well as his 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 in 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 crammed together and agree on international public policies is the same thing which applies to the internet russia's representative

agree. we have a very good dialogue with america but we believe the threats now facing the web are too big and assisted in international response only once countries are united can effectively tackle terrorist extremist and child pornography networks human and. he understands america's reluctance to lose control of what it perceives to be a large 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 was discussing how best to reform and become more flexible and dynamic that the i.t. he says it's pretty dynamic has it it was. fast moving and more dynamic than the internet it is scantly for stores who believe that i to some large bureaucratic un organization we existed in market for more than eighty

might soon find itself buried under its own trash alarming. coming up tonight. first the u.s. dollar weakened on monday a week before the federal reserve's expected decision to pump more cash into the american economy the drop wasn't prevented by the g twenty finance ministers pledge not to devaluate their currencies to avoid trade wars but as lauren lyster reports many believe the u.s. isn't ready to give up using the greenback as a 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 united states including financial world war two strain foreign reserves. especially to make other economies a tribute to a war being fought not with force but with credit in this war us ours. 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 have 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 large routes to lending 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 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 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 or 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 with no mention of the declining dollar there is no doubt. 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 that 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 or in the r t new york thirty two fifteen moscow time world news
