western influences are being blamed for egypt's unrest as political experts claim some countries are trying to overthrow the government to make it more dependent on them this comes after a fatal protests led to the dissolution of the cabinet. it's money versus the journalism in the united states as. the media leading many americans to look for the truth from sources. and a new security alert system could make its way into russia as president demands of lawmakers find a more effective ways to prevent terrorist attacks. very
12:01 am
well welcome to you this is our life from moscow egyptian president hosni mubarak has dismissed his government and promised a new cabinet to be announced on saturday he made this pledge in response to protests in which at least twenty six have died and hundreds more have been injured tens of thousands have taken to the streets across egypt in protest over mubarak's regime over the last four days. in egypt comes weeks after a month of. which saw the president being toppled before fleeing into exile according to diplomatic cables released by wiki leaks the u.s. government has been planning to topple for the past three years. investigative journalist top you told us here in washington wants to put a new leader in the arab world. and. i think what we have obviously is there is the cia no doubt about it they are playing the card of mob rule the technical term is.
12:02 am
see across the entire arab world it looks to me like a vagabond quite it's a double or nothing strategy they seem to be shooting the works for destabilisation mubarak is not dependent enough he's not dependent enough on nato he's not dependent enough on the i.m.f. above all they're looking for some kind of end their genic regimes that could be played against iran or for other other purposes they're also trying to appeal to this generation of young media lists across the arab world whose imaginations have been captured by a santino underneath that there were real grievances the food price for gasoline prices the unemployment but those really have more to do with the wall street depression than with somebody like mubarak then of course there is the question of political oppression and repression which has been going on in egypt look at the weakness of the u.s. the u.s. could not determine the government in iraq even though the u.s. is occupying the country they want to allow we they've got maliki the pro programs in lebanon the u.s.
12:03 am
has tremendous influence right that's another country that's i believe a defendant in this case the the the new government is more controlled by hezbollah than by the united states so it would seem to me now that we're going to find out soon enough whether the weakness of the u.s. has reached such a point that they can no longer overthrow a government like egypt then of course in iran in june and july of two thousand and nine there was an attempt to have the twitter revolution yet another called the revolution that one failed similarly in lebanon whenever you're dealing with a with a well organized force that opposes the color revolution the cia people power cool has a very very hard time in succeeding if the army and police continue to support mubarak and the internet stays turned off then it looks to me like the smarts that is probably that this is not going to be a cakewalk for these demonstrators and. the other question of course is what's their program do they have any solutions for anything their solution seems to be down with mubarak some people would say that if the muslim brotherhood gets the
12:04 am
upper hand the army might step in some people in the in the demonstration seem to want the army to take over but that would simply be a new mubarak. that's investigative journalist web startup and he was talking to us in our washington d.c. bureau. on the horrific bomb attack at moscow's busiest airport that killed thirty five show that russia is dealing with a very serious threat we ask people now on the street how the world should react to such terror and what measures should be taken that's coming up for you here on our t.v. with the president just about shortly. it's horrible what happens but these people that's what they're trying to get they're trying to get the reaction you can't let them have that kind of power over society and be scared all the time.
12:05 am
the quality of the news that's because promotions continue to fund the media americans are starting to question if what they're being told is the truth and went to find out who's in charge of the news in the united states. everyone seems to know that he who pays the piper gets to call the tune. in the us paying the piper and running the show are corporations that you may call what american see hear and read it's a money maker it's a cash cow people though think that there's any money in the media i mean aside from health care these days there's probably the media is is the industry of the twenty first century half a century ago fifty corporations have random major networks and newspapers since then a rapid concentration of media ownership has resulted in a near media monopoly spearheaded by a lucky few pumping money from the news cash cow and piping corporate interests to
12:06 am
the viewers and readers. the danger of this kind of media concentration is that it robs democracy of diversity it robs viewers from being exposed to a wider range of views. and always say the us is living in the golden age of media bias. it's never been easier for them to find out exactly who's behind what where the conflicts of interest are topping the list of owners of rupert murdoch and his empire the news corp you have a new global media enterprise and if you shake that agenda at all you know it in terms i mean. murdoch stands over fox news channel the wall street journal and the new york post the fox channel is definitely seen as the most partisan and the most focused on advancing a particular political party and a political interest so is this because of rupert murdoch's personal interests definitely there's no doubt about it. general electric one of the largest military

12:08 am
journalists treading lightly around corporate and governmental elites it almost defeats the reason for their even existing the purpose of existence for corporations is profit meaning investors interests are police to head of anything else that would matter in journalism good business is bad journalism good journalism is bad business broadcaster laura flanders says counting on getting facts from the corporate media is simply naive because it be reliant on military contractors gee to bring us our news about the war any more than we can be reliant upon television networks that are run by disney to bring us the truth about what's happening in our economy media are increasingly monopolized the number of voices interested in bringing their viewers a little something called truth has decreased as a result instead of representing journalism the media have become loudmouths the corporation if that's the truth in our hearts we are. now because of this doubt in
12:09 am
the media more americans now are turning to the internet and other alternative news sources to find the truth but radio host alex jones says the world wide web is in danger of becoming manipulated by big business interests. it's another issue is that you have the old dinosaur media now and by five or maybe six major conglomerates and they're really teaming up with the government and getting secret payments so this came out five years ago famous cases of reporters being given hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece by the bush administration armstrong williams as one of the famous instances to go out and promote new federal initiatives that bush was pushing and this really exploded under clinton expanded under bush and has now just gone into old warp speed under barack obama so it's not just that you have these five to six mega corporations that have all these other corporate subsidiaries and they won't report on things that put them in
12:10 am
a bad light you have direct government payments of taxpayer money secretly being funneled to them this is outrageous and we've seen massive viewership drops on cable and broadcast t.v. and in newspapers and you've seen sites like involve wars dot com or other alternative media eg splode into now google has announced very that they're going to start filtering all the alternative exploding media websites and foreign news outlets that are becoming so popular because they give a different perspective doesn't mean they don't have agendas but there's a different perspective and so now they're announcing the internet kill switch and c.c. regulation over the internet senator jay rockefeller one of the key committee says we would have been better off without the internet so instead of just having a something where the egyptians shut the internet off in five minutes we have this slow strangling of the internet because the old dinosaur mega media is losing credibility and it's a government mouthpiece and so they're now moving in with a perfect storm to restrict free speech that the internet is in danger. rush around
12:11 am
the world remain in shock at the suicide bomb attack at moscow's dumb idea over airport thirty five people were killed and over one hundred are still remain in hospital president dmitri medvedev has called for a much tougher approach towards tackling terrorism in an interview to bloomberg he said russians should stand closer together in the face of danger. only by consolidating all public forces can we vanquish this evil we have no right to get hysterical about terrorism and spread out for this will make terrorism stronger look at the way americans came together after the events of nine eleven even those who are not very fond of president bush said yes he's got to be at the helm he's got to be tough it's got to be the same for our country that's the only way we can defeat terrorism but that wasn't. you can watch bloomberg full interview with dmitri medvedev in about a while just a few hours time on our what website that's called now russia will make its are
12:12 am
already working on stepping up anti terrorism measures they've drawn up to draw off the floor to introduce a new terror alert system in the country and he warning of an impending terrorist attack will be assessed on a three level color scale with the red alert being the highest security services will then take preventative action in accordance with the level of danger the system is already being compared to a similar one in america it will make his promise it will not affect the right so freedoms of russians u.s. intelligence expert fred burton says fighting terror is all about balancing technical and human resources. there has to be a careful balance in essence you need that very granular intelligence to tell you who to look for it you also need the technology to help you there's some very good technology that's available to do that they can be deployed but at the end of the day in essence if you look at a lot of these catastrophes that boils down to human failure blood boils down to
12:13 am
very good human intelligence on very specific terrorist plots the problem is most intelligence services lack that granularity on any specific threat so a year based a lot of years your security ramifications on threat assessments looking at probability and also trying to evaluate your intelligence gaps when you look at this kind of threat what you don't know is almost as important as what you do know and a web journalist laura huff and us also known as the resident asks people in the big apple what more should the will do to stop tara. the suicide bomber in moscow the car bomb in iraq the shootings in tucson considering the recent spate of violent acts around the globe are we doing enough
12:14 am
to prevent terrorism this week let's talk about that do you think that the world is doing enough to stop terrorism definitely not what more could they be doing i don't know what they should be doing more instead of. putting so much pressure to airports and stuff like that should be going somewhere so they know exactly where were to find a terrorist and or were to do so it's more intelligence gathering and less finales i think we could be keeping lines of communication open and i think we can be trying to consider other people's perspectives i think we can be thinking more about policy and less about rhetoric are you willing to do more for if it meant the world was going to be protected more like strip searched at airports if necessary and i wanted to be searchers. i think the new machine i have is fine to see this through because you're ok with that do you think the scanners are ok if it means we're safe yes your calls are coming off
12:15 am
a nobody stacia do you think it's ever justifiable do you think anyone ever has a good enough reason to get that angry to do something like that no no i think there's. there's overseas something all wrong with them to thank about we that it's but it's a good thing to kill people and kill themselves illinois know what if you were being enslaved and you felt like you had no way out when you feel like violence would be an option then. not for other people to suffer no you have to go to these people you can't obviously it's horrible what happens but these people that's what they're trying to get they're trying to get the reaction here let them have that kind of. power over society and be scared all the time so if the media turns it down a little bit of the coverage it'll have an impact make them consider whether or not they're going to do it i think so whether or not even we're doing enough to end terrorism the bottom line is with all the recent violence clearly we have yet to
12:16 am
think. how it is now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital you with say a suicide bomb blast in the afghan capital of kabul has left at least nine people dead the taliban has already claimed responsibility for the attack the blast took place at a busy market often used by foreigners and officials it's considered a relatively safe and well guarded part of the city and recent u.s. intelligence report paints a rosy picture of the ball assuring it will eventually be won but artie's have been a true contributor says that's just not going to happen unless washington changes its approach to beating the taliban. another year another january and yet another article in the herald tribune yet again from the cia sources it's bruce riedel famous cia analyst claiming that eventually kind of will be defeated or
