revolution. amid claims. by the. media. in the united states big corporations are funding the media is leading many americans to look for the truth. and new security system could make its way into russian president. find more effective way to prevent terrorist attacks.

worldwide news from moscow this is. the u.s. government had been planning to topple the egyptian president for the past three years well that's according to diplomatic cables released by wiki leaks the files show washington had been secretly backing and leading figures behind the uprising at least twenty six people have died and hundreds more injured in nationwide demonstrations since tuesday president hosni mubarak dismissed his government. to be announced today unrest in egypt comes weeks after months of chaos which saw. the president being toppled before fleeing into exile investigative journalist. told. how in the arab world to follow the u.s. . i think what we have obviously is there is the cia no doubt about it the mob rule the technical term is. across the entire arab world it looks to me like

a vagabond quite it's a double or nothing strategy that 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 and they're jerrick 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 are real grievances the food price the gasoline price 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 wanted allow we they've got maliki the pro. in lebanon the u.s.

has tremendous influence right that's another country that's heavily dependent in this case 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 and 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 a 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 coup has a very very hard time in succeeding if the army and the police continue to support mubarak and the internet stays turned off then it looks to me like the the smart bet 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 upper

hand the army might step in some people in the in the demonstrations seem to want the army to take over but that would simply be a new mubarak. investigative journalist their website top are you talking to are to you know what in d.c. bureau by the horrific bomb attack at moscow's busiest airport that killed thirty five showed that russia is dealing with a very serious threat we ask people on the streets how the world should react to such terror and what measures should be taken that's coming your way shortly with a resident. the 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. and to the u.s. now where more people are becoming frustrated with the quality of the news as big corporations continue to fund the media americans are starting to question if what

i'm being told is actually the truth and i started a truck and i went to find out who's in charge of the news in the united states so . 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 don't think that 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 rammed a major networks and newspapers since then a rapid concentration of media ownership has resulted in near media monopolies spearheaded by a lucky few pumping money from the news cash cow and piping corporate interests to 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 see the us is living in the golden age of medium . 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 maybe you shake that agenda at all you know it in terms of i mean we tried. 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 contractors for the u.s. government plus comcast one of america's largest cable providers are joined by the

defeats the reason for their even existing the purpose of existence for corporations is profit meaning investors interests are placed a 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 we can't be reliant on military contractors g.e. to bring us 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 as the 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 louder mouthpieces for corporations if that's the truth in our hearts we are. all because of us doubt in the media more americans are turning to the internet and other

alternative news sources to find out the truth but radio host alex jones says the world wide web is in danger of becoming manipulated by big business to another issue is that you have the dinosaur meet again now owned by five or maybe six make a conglomerate and they're really teaming up with the government and getting sequel . 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 sentences to go out and promote new federal initiatives that bush was pushing and it's really exploded under clinton expanded under bush and it's now just gone into 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 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 infowars dot com or other alternative media exploding to 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 see see 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 shallow 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 the internet is in danger is now at ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you without saying now russia and the world remain in shock at the suicide bomb attack at moscow's dome and you have put thirty

five people were killed and over one hundred a still in hospital president dmitri medvedev has called for a much tougher approach towards tackling terrorism in an interview to bloomberg he said the russians sort of stand close to take out the in the face of danger. i don't consider that only by consolidating all public forces can we vanquish this evil we have no right to get hysterical about terrorism and spread out who 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 which yes he's got to be at the helm he's got to be tough but he's got to be the same for our country that's the only way we can defeat terrorism but at that most of the. and you can watch move books full interview with dmitri medvedev in a few hours time on our website that's autumn dot com now russian lawmakers are already working up a stamping on terrorism measures they've drawn up

a draft law to introduce a new terror alert system in the country any warning of an impending terrorist attack will be assessed on a three level color scale with 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 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 usually well 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 it boils down to human failure blood boils down to 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 i mean time a web journalist laura huffington is also known as the resident she asks people in the big apple how do we challenge terrorism and whether we have an answer on how to stop it. 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 to prevent terrorism this week let's talk about that 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 they have is fine sees through clothes yeah ok with that ok do you think the scanners are ok if it means we're safe yes your calls are coming off a nobody stacia do you think it's ever justifiable old you think anyone ever has a good enough reason to get that angry to do something like that no no i think those. there's obviously something vulgar wrong with them to thank that we that it's but it's a good thing to kill people and tell them sales so noise but 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 ignore 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 a reaction he can't 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 will have an impact on it make them consider whether or not they're going to do it i think so whether or not you think we're doing enough to end terrorism the bottom line is with all the recent violence clearly we have yet to succeed. art is now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital you with. afghan officials say a suicide bomb attack and kill the deputy governor of the country's kandahar province on friday a bomb blast in kabul left at least nine people dead the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack now 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 a recent u.s. intelligence report paints a rosy picture of the war assuring that it will eventually be one that artie's military contributor says that's 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 the bruce riedel a famous cia analyst claiming that eventually i kind of will be definitive user that president obama charm offensive these are the muslim community all around the globe while the terrorist threat is real it is not confined we're even closely related to afghanistan itself the terrorist threat comes along the afghan pakistani badland take out the war alone afghan pakistani badland

and substituted for a cross and that instantly will finally start making sense until that washington decision makers we'll accomplish that this linguistic exercise they are doomed to play all along this vicious circle paying lip service to the threat coming from pakistan while ignoring the clear and present danger of narco terrorism that comes from afghanistan. let's get to some other international news making headlines around the world this hour five people have been killed by a bomb in a busy road tunnel in northwest pakistan nineteen others were wounded in the explosion most of the injured were taken to a nearby hospital for what it's thought either the taliban or al qaeda militants. the african union says it's forming a panel of heads of state to solve the political crisis in the ivory coast within
