from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that precious short haul of evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mails for stories former editor andy colson who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations the man was destroyed professionally by news international the. london is a very small amount was destroyed he was. drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed and demoralised police are saying hall's death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly been quelled by the fact the post-mortem report and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions

and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death of a key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter aussie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this had happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly looked at in the light of the death of david kelly you're at it r.t. . well david cameron's close ties with the news corp and his efforts to head off the crisis could yet take a toll on him and his government according to british. what really gave the story legs was the fact that david cameron. the then disgraced. coast and into the conservative party for the maiden is director of communications now i don't think without without that trying to kind of. legs give in to the story i think it

probably wouldn't have been quite so big as it is now but the fact is there have been some real errors of judgment times out shared by a donor in the governing conservative party but the prime minister david cameron yes again you see this stuff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up about the connections because you have to sort of phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister and then leader of the opposition david cameron didn't know about it there's been a large amount of fingers in isn't just a kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for a prime minister and he's now in a real fight he is in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself at the very least stuff still around him well still to come in the program of funding the man behind the drones u.k. and pakistani human rights groups want to press charges for unmanned attacks and actually killing hundreds of civilians by getting off just former cia legal

director proved the strikes. and used up on ice soldiers who fought for israel in the war against lebanon bombing so stuck in a country that's forgotten their existence. george's latest spy saga has taken yet another twist to be seen now says three photojournalists locked up on charges of espionage on behalf of russia have confessed to guilt but as ots english the reports there are concerns that the suspects were coerced into admitting crimes they didn't commit. and then there were none the last georgian photographer to deny allegations of spying has apparently changed his story he now admits the charges video testimony of giorgio galaad says confession of spying for russia was released by prosecutors to the media but most journalists are skeptical about this latest development or our culture in the old days is very strange and there is in the

middle of the night in this business a case has been like this top secret all of these raises questions and not getting any answers and this confession is a serious face three accuser because with doubts about this whole deal i get the odds and maintained his innocence ever since he along with three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month old including president mikhail saakashvili his personal photographer were accused of passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence initially insisted they were innocent then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in his panoz but up the odds they insisted he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to provoke this point in fact his lawyer says the photographer seems to have changed his mind over the space of just ten minutes and that's led to questions over the circumstances under which the photographer seems to have changed his story managing editor of ali

a newspaper dimiter to gods it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated. we live in a totalitarian state today all power is concentrated in the hands of president saakashvili and if someone goes against him and all of us will end up like this if the interior ministry had any other proof of their guilt he wouldn't have to force these confessions i took him by what they basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and paula. members of the media heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail where a three jogger furs are being held and preliminary detention human rights activists meanwhile believe hardly affect the system of power in the country i'll get on this because it's very likely that of dillard's i will be forced to ask for my removal from the case investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so

they can lead it the way they want to they want the case of the photographers to end without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest to plead guilty. and well the case seems outrageous to journalists and to many ordinary people it's just the latest in a seemingly endless string of spies scandals to hit georgia even r.t. . and you can find more background on how the georgian spy scandal unfolded on our website at ality dot com and make it a mission to find out how it ukrainian female activists showed their support for the georgian photographers. also online lovers could simply see russia can only last a small scale gets its own temple dedicated to peace treaties. commission free accreditation free transport charges free arrangement free. free stereotype free.

program is that it's protecting america it's necessary for u.s. national security in fact by all the figures that we've seen these drone strikes have been fury eight of the people pakistan we've quadrupled the pakistani taliban in numbers and violent attacks they've moved them east into the pool and you have the heartland to the point where they now pose a major threat to the pakistani government knew the pakistani military so much that there's now talk of an anti u.s. military coup on the front page of the new york times and most important we've poured into the u.s. ambassador and patterson is revealed in the wiki leaks cable. we're so the u.s. is so hated now in pakistan the government is afraid corporate with iran safeguarding its nuclear materials which are the world's fastest growing and bio experts will tell you the least secure so the result of this drone strike campaign

is fastly creasing the danger in the united states of a conventional and or nuclear terrorist attack. in the is off to israel's retreat from lebanon thousands of soldiers are still struggling to cope with the consequences of that withdrawal they all members of the so-called south lebanese army backed israeli forces they feel the sacrifices gone unrecognized paula slim that's one former soldier says there is no support from the country he fought for. there's only one thing for was national dreams about and that is to return home but home is southern lebanon and he's stuck here on the other side of the border in northern israel. that's my home five kilometers away eleven years ago for was was one of several thousand christian binny's to free with the israeli army as it left lebanon for eighteen years the israelis had been fighting the palestine liberation organization and hizbollah on lebanese soil helped by the south lebanon army

a militia of christians and jews who controlled the south of the country to solve the lebanese didn't fight for. world that is didn't fight for so. there was a meeting of in between them and us but growing domestic pressure in israel over the high losses suffered by the army finally convinced the government to withdraw and it did so quickly. our epstein was a soldier at the time and says the lebanese soldiers who helped israel were left behind almost like sitting ducks and. if we're soldiers knew little about us leaving they for sure knew even less if there was some sort of selection the commanders were brought here but i'm sure if you were a driver not much was done for. some seven thousand army soldiers crossed it is wrong those who were left behind would try it jailed and sometimes killed as traitors for was an ashram was one of those who got heaping working with israeli

intelligence to recruit lebanese spies i did not want to run here i wanted to die fighting with the israeli intelligence almost forced me to. i was told you know too much but the way they treat me now is a shame they forced me to run away and now they spit on my face six months ago i'm not a lawyer found for was living in a tent on the street it was hardly surviving on the few hundred dollars a month these weak government gave him i feel ashamed. in my country. that treating not only the case so far was not jim but two thousand people that remain in state in israel why the country and the states of his world are treating them like. it's a charge the government is aware of although it says it's doing its best to help them by giving cash education and in some cases although not in fall as. from them already eleven years. ago the thing

that we don't have to do we must do it with it's very unique it's a very unique nobody did it do that i found the cure. for your name it never nobody of them. but still that treatment was not enough to stop two thirds of those who came to israel from immigrating elsewhere but i feel betrayed beast sitting in the special intelligence forces have not given me any help since i've been here this is the israeli lebanese border and this fence used to be known as the good friends but in the last seven years since the israelis withdrew from lebanon the situation has deteriorated and this is. a good feints has since become the close friends and through its bars israel's forgotten friends seem condemned to fit if a peek at the family they're more than likely never see again the r.t. on the israel lebanon border. where the american space shuttle program due to

a cash stimulus is questionable. essentially q.e. two or three is nothing more than printing up money out of thin air one of the things that people don't realize is that the six to seven hundred billion dollars that was printed up in q e two all went overseas if you look at where a majority of that money went over six hundred billion went to the european banks basically to support their balance sheets in the wake of what's going on here none of that money was really used to stimulate the economy now having said that the aftereffects of printing up more money are evident i think what we have to do is look back in history there are a few times where we could look back at when the government decides to inflate over growth what are the ancillary implications and one of them of course is the fact that you see both commodity prices and prices incidentally go up simultaneously. and let's take a look at the markets now crude is only the rawest light sweet seventy six cents

a scientific value of hubble is concerned or trying to understand the universe and beauty is one of those things maybe you've heard the expression and the beauty is in the mind of the beholder and so in fact what i see beauty and sometimes is a picture that other people might not consider beautiful but it reveals the answer to some important question like how stars form how galaxies form so to assign to beauty is a totally different thing the fact that hubble produces beautiful images that children like to see is very important for the funding of double and of course that's important for we scientists that's exactly what i meant and so in that sense yes it is important in fact i can tell you. in the united states maybe in many countries schoolchildren tend to be fascinated by certain things they're fascinated by the.
