moscow says it plans to sound from finding mission to syria after a visit by opposition leaders to the russian capital this comes as president when today to free to reach his position that peace in the country could only come through told. up next a first part of our special report about post-war illnesses revealing how the deadly legacy a war can affect military personnel long after they've returned home. work

has changed. has changed. in a motivational sense. than anything else. change. is one of the most difficult concepts to the today more than ever. still classified as using time such as from my nine hundred fifteen thousand nine hundred eighteen hundred forty to one hundred forty five. and people have ignored it when it started . the real problem is that it is not even if it is going to come to an. absolute future will be one of those soldiers the troops will still exist but it will be an invisible.

war has evolved substantially in terms. of the war has been. on the mainland and in the sea. the first gap in the war evolution can be compared to a few. evolution of the upright position. the upright position in the evolution. of the conflict when the airplane became a weapon it starts to become possible to materially turn the whole battle dynamic upside down. in the day the people had to leave home to go to war it was like a football match in a stadium. nowadays the people play football in the streets. we

don't need to wait for. someone to get close to a car to start opening fire. we just need someone clicking with the mouse able to give the first of the impulses and make it as if it was a line of dominoes. until the end of the whole chain. we just have to think of the energy supply. communications and the transport system . in a while it will be possible to apply. the terrorist attack we can all agree on this. terrorist attack we were fair to the

purpose. deeply into it. because we are so familiar with the airliner and to see them and to catch them to us they're like a household appliance the same as a toaster. these household appliances. been used to become weapons. eight hundred casualties at present i think that there are around seventy thousand workers on the health. affected by cancer just in the municipality of manhattan. additionally you have over one hundred fifty thousand citizens by different illness sense as a never ending. leukemia lymphoma and.

i hope that the person that calls that spirit will realize the. collapse skyscrapers. explosion of two airplanes. case of the mainly composed of how the metal and the dust generated from these explosions. of the original explosion. they generated. and new york citizens are still suffering because of it. when the first plane hit the first twin tower i was in a military environment and a high command place. as a matter of fact the first attack immediately followed by the second one being seen

as the beginning of world war three. i'm not talking about rational thought. it was something like a vent of fear. fear that found in the form of a stereotype. three. world war three will probably not be a clash between two armies. to techno. ologies. perhaps world war three has already begun and we didn't even notice it because it's not a traditional war on the battleground. of the we'll let's start by saying that by my reckoning this is the fourth war not the third like we already had a third conflict and we call it the cold war. in my opinion the fourth world war is already in progress but it isn't fought with the aid of weapons it is

a mistake to fight using weapons if you always lose all the participants lose. weight i especially now we have such powerful weapons that could be dragged into a foolish war with hundreds of thousands of casualties this is the main risk we are playing we are assuming enormous risks and we aren't even aware of it is it a big. fat. daddy's nuclear weapons have surely marked a strong revolution in both military and security affairs in the mideast that before their creation there had always been a shortage of firepower in relation to the wishes of strategic. nuclear weapons provided firepower greater than any political purpose rationally prosecutable. therefore nuclear weapons specially during the cold war be known war weapons.

what is happening now adays is the normality there is no order a great change with a continuous redefinition of the international order that can lead to unexpected results she have a redefinition of new roles and a change where we ignore what is useful what is useless and what is harmful to new subjects are emerging almost every day and it is unknown if these subjects will be good or evil. actually you just have to think about the international finance and so yesterday we thought that that would have been the universal solution to all the problems your as now has become one of the enemies to fight against.

changed in the war. just. changed in the way it is fault. what has changed. since the peace of westphalia. states. between. is a confrontation between. between different interests. not just between organizations but also between. the concept of war from the. current one is the fall of the agreement. treaty. the treaty. between states. was

defeated. the political defeat. because of. the profits had been. present it depends on the relative of the different economies. of the different countries taken a system. it is easy to think about. because they are the most powerful. the swiss ones that. as much as the americans. but they still exist.

future. states. aren't subject. to the corporations states. states. of connection between the economic and the political power. of the people. state as an institution. the state. services. services. citizens. are intended for the people economic power.

in this particular. is the only. thing. is the interests is the. subject. is not the state. is the state. with the state. we aren't talking about the. company.

a multinational company with a corporation made of people from different states here we are talking about corporations that can influence several states to have states at their disposal. and we have to think that we just experienced a case that can be key to understanding what a corporation is and what a state is that if it is true that the head of the italian military secret services . under the control of an italian corporation that while i'm not going to mention the name of this corporation but it is easy to figure out. and this is symbolic of the loss of the importance of the state. status of the state has changed since it lost almost all its. because into the void is always filled by something that is why the corporations are progressively taking the place of the state. in american

comic books and movies the theme of a world led by the corporations is nothing new. as the state is going to withdraw even in that which concerns military and intelligence affairs the corporations will be progressively more capable of producing events which events that can result in a war after all and the last wars fought in the middle east the importance of troops back in the day would have been called mercenaries present are called contractors is evident. but where nowadays the war really has an asymmetrical dimension of what i mean is that war is not a clash between two different armies. more a clash between two different will to a certain idea or to deny something from the. assertion and deny. are

nowadays the inputs for the war. they may experience some interruptions to a large extent they carry on being the same wars. so nowadays there are three different approaches to war three different types of war which firstly there is the classic war with an open frontal clash between two armies and so on. secondly there is the stabilisation in destabilization war between countries with one of the opponents attempting to stabilize a country or an area and the other one doing the opposite of destabilizing. and the third is the concept of war against terrorism a concept introduced in the last few years by the us government and then brought a classic war scenario such as the iraq invasion which is the proof of the intimate connections between these three different types of war. in the fight against

terrorism the relation between the attacker and the defender is neither equal nor symmetry. it is unclear who is attacking and who is defending all the boundaries ethical spatial temporal and technological have vanished. now adays is an opponent using archaic tools like the taliban in afghanistan seriously harm super advanced forces and this is really happening now to us british and even a tally and troops in that scenario. or weakness in the fight against terrorism consists of the fact that the terrorists especially the suicide bombers are ready to die while we aren't due to this fact we already started in a losing position you. safe

. so. let's take a person that is not afraid of dying and another one that maybe is part of a voluntary military service because he needs a better wage the person that went back home is surrounded by comforts and another one that isn't scared of dying because he doesn't have anything to lose again a person with a strong ideology and another one considering the battle as an ordinary joe you know well when the physical clash begins one of them will surely experience more troubles. but. not only different motivations different technologies different tools but also a different idea of what the war is to make this phenomenon of the war phenomena to be highly balanced unbalanced not in favor of the stronger side but in favor of

who has less to lose. please let me keep. does not need to exist we are using these terms in a negative way in forcing the al qaeda ideology. it gives us this product of death products under the al-qaeda brand it works exactly like a super market an agency or any other economic entity that wants to be recognized under that particular brand. what causes the real damage is not the terrorism itself the real damage comes from

us. from our fear of terrorism. if you look into the terrorist attacks that we experienced this may sound incredible but the number of casualties that appeared so great to us is still well below the casualties caused by car accidents during a normal weekend for example. nevertheless the real strong impact comes from people's reaction to terrorism the economic damage the obstacles to our a possibility of freely traveling and so on. everything that affects our daily life is damage that we create ourselves it doesn't come from terrorism. we are more afraid of the things we are told rather than of the real happening. find out that the most important war is the one made for the media.

now adays it's not information warfare limited exclusively to some professionals. information warfare is fought by everyone it's this war around the year two thousand lebanese israelis used the for the israelis couldn't stand the images broadcast by hezbollah's website and so they decided to shut it down and have been able to rescue those who were calling for help the hezbollah decided to repay this with a denial of service attack their servers completely. at that point we discovered that the hezbollah have the same capabilities as the israelis they can attack the tell me. they can hit the knesset or the bank of israel in a war that could be never ending. how could

one of the principles that are. important is to always keep in mind that when we talk about communication the first one to arrive has a huge advantage. if you give an announcement and this announcement isn't immediately followed by some kind of counter information to the people accept some ideas and afterwards it is really hard to change them it. could be put to. you and i create an event and with this event i modify reality it is true time has passed the states always followed this principle for instance by murdering a political opponent using a hired killer a well known story in other cases they provoked a riot or encourage terrorism in a certain area but now a days this event theory has been imported into the civilian sphere on the political and the military wants. communication companies

which employed marketing. today there are too many communication tools to figure out what is truly happening in reality it is progressively more difficult to realize what is really going on. is becoming more relevant for two reasons it became global and most of all it isn't real time. as in the democracies news reaches the audience in real time and so the t.v. audience anticipates the governments because the governments need to follow along. to know the news. in terms of strategy and politics provokes a more direct influence of the public opinion in the management of the conflicts he compared to the past.

along with the representation of the war there are changes about the concept of war in the audience at this stage we do not talk about people anymore we talk about the audience in this context it is normal to raise adult about the possible manipulation which can be either intended or not it can be intended when for instance a scene is shot on purpose in order to influence the audience's ideas but it can also be an willed for some reason a fact is selected on the news and for everybody it becomes the expression of everything happening in a certain context who looks back at the facts no one does that first of all we cannot broadcast a fact. representation. before communications were closely tied to

human relationships there were many more forms of defense there was less space for fabrication. as social control fates information is being turned into something different from reality something in between reality and imagination and this is what information is the virtual pending world. to invent a piece of news diffuse it on the web massively no one can know whether that piece of news really is on the websites because the websites use it or because someone puts it there. it's so our enemy is the news. the power of the real weapon is the news and the influence that it can. be shot in the back with information in certain situations this is one of the

biggest issues. the new weapon is information and the war is in progress five percent of the broadcasted information comes from the same subjects that are also. information just think of the press agencies they give us information about their employers the companies they work for. justice we have to consider but newspapers are not stakeholders are not the audience nor the consumers are. the ones deciding the political approach of media are the advertisers but if a piece of news does not have to be spread the subject involves a whole page of a newspaper and that piece of news disappears. there is another thing the possibilities of misinformation increase enormously the audio visual media is a juxtaposition of very short spurts one minute. thirty seconds and so on.

if there is a smart effect. he can come. to lead the perception of the audience then get a political reaction out of them.

well when one deals with war for us to realize what this tremendous amounts of damage that have done not just human damage but damage the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy coming from the city whether it's our sonic boom city factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields in iraq or destroyed coral reefs in the pacific for ramming purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that there shall be taken in the war to protect the involved against widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions political

one has taken exception to that. has been dreadful start storing some of the laws for a good hour he's told hold the exiles you have to replace that abrasion on some tripoli resident cliffy isn't going to keep growing as the new regime replaces feel . the gyptian interior ministry has declared a state and out of these rainy embassy in cairo was stalled with the ambassador recall during a day of protests of a political change which sent on vine and we're bringing you live pictures from cairo right now. but if this major part is welcome president obama's plan to create jobs but accepts a big hole for truth and honesty with us part might we just see the trade speights congress to swallow.
