national expert in genesis says that global dominance groups are behind the wheel of her faults. they might be getting rid of of thirty forty or fifty euro regime but many of these countries certainly in egypt certainly libya are certainly in tunisia and back karim that might be getting themselves into just as bad or even worse trouble if they don't really understand the social propes has this going on and the powerful interests that may be driving them from outside of the middle east because i think this ties into a more global pattern where we have to understand the major geopolitical long term planning emanating from such organizations as the council on foreign relations the trilateral commission and the builder berggruen who hath for decades been fighting the arab world and have been fighting the sovereign nation state as an institution on a global basis so in a way if they can get rid of these strong mad men whether it be hosni mubarak in

egypt or colonel gadhafi in libya and try to transition has always seen before to a more liberal chaotic and more controllable western style democracy that it's sort of been a privilege to serve i think we have to be very careful about the various readings that we make of this is very important that both the pro protesters on one side and the government do you know will be egypt whether it be in libya whether it be in a back rain or in tunisia should understand how powerful social forces they are up against the psychological warfare tactics that are being used and they should not allow themselves either side to be used by interested objectives which are completely outside the interest of libya does or the egyptians or the tunisians or of iraqis or just about any country that is having such turmoil in the middle east at present. well as u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton for iterated calls for unrestricted internet access for all some experts are taking

a more skeptical view of her campaign investigative journalist webster tarpley told r.t. that washington is using social media to drive her faults in the greater middle east mirroring the color revolutions of the post soviet space. the thing that hillary clinton talked about is digital activist in other words there's a huge ball you're round the world they want to mobilize these people i think what she's got in mind is a secret army of hackers and indeed trolls that will be the shock and awe of the new decade and this is what they were able to deploy in egypt it's simple you get the rich kids using facebook and twitter you get the rich kids into the square you put that on television you convince the rest of the society that the government is deeply unpopular and the revolution takes off it's a way to manipulate and dupe an entire society and that's this is what a color revolution or cia people power coup or post-modern co actually is. a ring of warships were delayed entry in egypt. all this comes after israel and the us

state is really soon relations are strained as well convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land up in the hands of hizbollah in lebanon now the united states is adding fuel to the whole situation the u.s. state department recently set up a twitter account and it is using their twitter account to post tweets in flossy that supports anti iranian government demonstrators out on the streets of tehran we haven't seen the u.s. state department do anything like that supporting or even expressing any kind of opinion on the same kind of demonstrations that are happening in yemen since nine hundred seventy nine since the iranian revolution they have been you know iranian warships that have actually passed through the suez canal this is the first major diplomatic headache for the egyptian interim government for the ruling military council as you well know president mubarak. had a close relationship with the united states he was an ally of the u.s. and at the same time relations between him and the rand were strained for the past

thirty years it is not clear exactly why they gave permission we haven't had any insight on that but what we have been told reported is that it took in officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there was nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed their forgave him the supply ship to go through. and coming up with the latest edition of crosstalk peter lavelle and his guests discuss why countries in the middle east spend so much on the military and how the u.s. justifies its big business in the region. to me partner somewhat comparable to a singapore switzerland they're small populations they want people to know they have weapons systems a racially want to be left alone saudi arabia does have some incursions into yemen and he's using it charnock it purchased from the us in other states so i don't want sure about the missile or one could of course discuss the problem or but to say that they're not using it at all i think it would be a question. if

it. is divided over claims that the country's jew should be compensated for the property they lost during the second world war while many including the government say the country was fighting against bolshevik occupation at any cost necessary but jews claim that that was just a pretext to steal from their families as archie's peter all over discovered. thousands of law being jews were robbed of their property money and in many cases their lives by nazi treats one of the major issues is how much food on the side of nazi germany of today so really. unfortunately many believe the law to be an waffen s.s. who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators ever before but they in fact were bandits and robbers they have seen documents listing real estate that belong to

jews killed in ghettos i think that property should be returned the amount of reparations claimed by latvian jews is around sixty five million dollars the country's government says that they will continue to hold talks with religious leaders in order to come up with a solution however those in power draw their support from nationalist groups who are far less diplomatic when it comes to the issue. lottery and administration is not responsible for the night you're doing and the holocaust began before our country was under our education by definition lightly and i thought at least cannot be responsible for actions of occupants local jewish leaders say that they only want what was stolen to be returned however they realize that this may be difficult with current attitudes in latvia while they wish as we need the proposition to solve our social problems like develop education culture if it meant say no synagogues and cemeteries of course it's hard to find ours when you need to take

back certain property but i hope people will understand that and justice will be done a short distance from the capital is the forest where thousands of jews were executed it serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives but in central riga there are equally chilling monuments to the holocaust like this synagogue which was burned to the ground with worshippers still inside over sixty five years after the end of the second world war the burnt out shell of this synagogue serves as a reminder to the tensions that still bubble between the local jewish community and those latvians that consider the s.s. . troops to being heroes well while the government continues to draw most of its support from nationalist organizations a resolution for this conflict seems a long way off peace to all of. riga latvia and still have for you this hour the heavy price for miscalculating operations in afghanistan. can see thrives on the

mistakes of the government of the international community we will come to the surge in civilian deaths in the northeast which nato denies also. they say that dog is a man's best friend but of course if you're blind a guide dog is so much more than just companionship and the duty of care is a two way street of why that went to the sink estate i was losing her sight as well . ever session is proving that getting to university is not the meal ticket to a study career that it once was well millions of american graduates saddled with college debts from funding their future now find that they are also laden with skills employers just won't pay for as artists and associate short i discovered only the blue color option remains the international children's fund has worked for almost a century to help the less fortunate for another nation now we want to tell you about a problem a little closer to home. for whom only fifteen thousand and he said they don't get

american politicians in congress raggle over slashing the world's biggest military budget some republicans suggest putting a stop to foreign aid as well well the idea has been. think that says the money is used to help poor countries. but as our military contributor explains reality very different consequences the main case in favor of saving or even marginally increasing the u.s. state department and the budget is based on their false premise that id which officially stands for american international development allegedly does develop their client states and consequently promotes their pax americana all over the world on a shoestring budget in reality it's quiet the opposite because for the recipient countries ideas stands for american international dependence not development

consider egypt for example the us have invested one point five billion dollars annually in promoting self-sufficiency and independence of egypt agricultural sector but in reality the age of dependence on the import are few as grave as big as it's ever being and that's why i strongly and sincerely support of senator rand paul initiative to completely abolish id as a counterproductive and totally unaffected reach in the way spreads anti-american feelings and resentment towards us state department hypocrisy all over the world. well let's have a look at some other international headlines told people have been killed in a string of attacks on taxis in the mexican city of acapulco police say both passengers and drivers are among the dead it comes ahead of monday's mexican open
