not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to could die feet but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human material for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that bay should learn the lesson of libya is a clear message begin the civil war they want to weaken syria first as a as a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change. well there for more in-depth coverage and spectacular footage visit r.t. dot com here's a look at what's online view right now the details of gadhafi dealings with western leaders couldn't get come tonight that's his son also reportedly fans to surrender to the international criminal court. a russian supermodel and children's

from a strong. when the national currency is up it pushes exports down japanese goods just too expensive to compete on the wild stage and its profits disappear so do people's livelihoods stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists korea japan maybe all of your years away from its own major economic crisis and since this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequences of the big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for urgent action. industry can probably enjoy the current seventy five year into the dollar level for a little while but if this situation doesn't change over a longer period i think we're going to see japanese factories and large companies move their operations overseas places like vietnam thailand or china this would

lead to a hollowing out of japanese domestic industry and create unemployment japan is facing an extraordinary economic crisis. that despite the worries of the ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the soaring from leaving japanese businessman starved of money . in japan going in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products and machines to just turn since the world faces these conditions japanese companies have to look for whatever opportunities they can discover but that's not going to be easy in a country where the government itself the plea in the red japan has the highest national debt among major economies owing almost twice. this much as the economy makes in an entire year couple that with the funds needed to rebuild after the

a surprise he blamed india for turning every man a stand against pakistan his reason because diplomats intelligence and military officials from afghanistan are getting training in india and they are coming back indoctrinated anti pakistan views that's what general musharraf things and in reality the training of military and civilian officials in other countries cuts both ways and even could backfire big time ask cia who trained their pakistani counterparts and mujahideen during the anti-slavery jihad in afghanistan including al qaeda and their associates it was only after the united states completely abandoned afghanistan and pakistan then there are students contrary to the general musharraf logic of the

foreign training he sold by for an indoctrination it was in pakistan that i qaida military it's turned out to be the most read it and americans and it was them who turned their weapons against their masters and trainers. without a brief look at how that may just stories from around the world the american conference is underway paraguayan a key part in spain and portugal looking to the former colonies to help with that natural crises general secretary and make a place in the summit states and at this time that's in america could be the solution to the economic ten dollars spight stable but i think that america is still playing. by poverty ten of the region's countries are among the world's top fifteen with the highest rate of poverty. the heart of thailand is

a strange and was impressive because in the first place it was renovated according to the original vision of the tsars self but the room on a dynasty all hammer and sickle emblems were replaced with the original symbol of tzarist russia the double headed to eagle no detail was considered as to expensive or challenging and the least of those invited to come to russia to come to the bolshoi on this for a snipe was very impressive among the guests who saw me hello goodbye chill for the has of the last skull of peter the vienna oprah house called in garden i was still in the body of a day on the way here shortly before the big eloquence or it started with caught up with tell an actress when it could be lucci it was her first time at the bolshoi theater but not the first time in russia. so. here i sit. on your. bike.

and see. the christ church. the same time that i think here. i think that. this is. a truly impressive red carpet event for russia and for russian theater lovers and you know as the curtain came down the cheers of bravo from outside could be heard ringing inside the renovated restored bolshoi. great stuff the occupy wall street movement in america has been widely criticized for a lack of concrete demands the host of the resident show laurie harshness to ask the protesters if they actually have a definitive message for the banks and politicians.

the protesters of occupy wall street are clearly bad up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors this week let's talk about that i would like to say you're human beings also do you see the suffering that people are going through do you know what it's like we want the health insurance that you have everybody should have that health insurance we should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your banker we need you to join us right because they're just people to be an us versus them we need your help poor brute personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit and profit alone so what do you have to say to those corporations well i don't have to say anything other than i don't support them how do you say be fair and share to someone or something that does not know what what kind of concept this is and do

qadi we practice we're a community where we share our resources these people are so greedy and so. money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a message for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their feet my message isn't to them my message is to make sure that these soldiers that are here that they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process to constructing a road where dreams are possible right now dreams are impossible in america for a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is the protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington themselves and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves.
