figures a lot of people are seriously questioned this number saying that five thousand people were killed over these past few months it makes like almost zero in a hundred that the effect so there is the fog of three war is already dead so the russian move is an intelligent move because it's a preemptive i would say resolution it condemns both sides in asked for a u.n. peacekeeping mission in fact to solve the problem what nato wants is simmering civil war let's put it this way as a friend you for something much tougher had probably after the american elections in one year. for the syrian opposition self-titled political leaders are holding their first congress into musea where the arab spring revolutions began a year ago is being seen as an attempt to rally support among arab countries to this is newly elected president was at the conference opening the country doesn't

5:04 am
the simple folk are left with nothing. but the tunisian revolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater presentation but the voice of news according to some has been silenced. the new government is comprised of the elderly that shows what kind of new tunisia we're talking about the main problem is the political parties which haven't given a chance to the young people who gave their lives in blood for the revolution and the western media has hailed the decision evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country or the african region a year has passed and people who live here is the very few of the soldiers they have asked. or have actually taken place they're going to everything as soon as it used to be a village and have come and gone and the town his. unemployment is still the same if not worse the only things that changed you can now express our opinion but the revolutions main goals haven't been accomplished. the fervor which sparked
5:05 am
a revolution maybe only a slow burn for no one but if the grievances bush inspired for mean so with the people's inspiration to revolt against it even goes courting the city was it tunisia. coming up in a minute she vengeance against a soldier a virgin three weeks off that bradley manning gets to a military hearing to support his saying the deadly daisy he allegedly rafale to see him decorated instead of disciplines. violent unrest in kazakstan has left at least ten people dead in a western oil town clashes broke out when independence day celebrations turned violent with police reportedly firing live rounds at the crowd there are conflicting reports about how events are developing the interior ministry trying to asia has calmed down but activists say crowds are gathering again one of the campaign in the country told me that it's difficult to establish exactly what's
5:06 am
happening because communications with the city are. a local a certain so here goes they were trying to organize a concert to go to this. independence day in the square where stricken workers already have been demanding the reinstatement was there a month of course oil workers didn't like in the early stage they said. local authorities believe there's. no blood so when the. internet it's not like with law. well we'll be keeping across how the situation unfolds and has xander bring you the latest as we get it of course still to come for you here on the channel we've got a sky high spy sendoff to tell you about. as

a russian rockets existing dispatches it's called go from french screen. possibly travel to the rest of this is to explore what's being done to help young a beautiful town that backs on base and brainwashing. a new york court has ruled that around providing material support to the process and hijackers in the nine eleven terror attacks the charges were brought by some of the victims' families that the north sea the settled by default because he did it rain elite is we're not saying who would iran has been ordered to pay damages quite how they're going to be connected is a clear track has always denied any connection to al qaida iranian american activist thinks the case is part of the spirit campaign in the buildup to war. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling that iran had
5:08 am
a direct role in nine eleven i know that we have seen. in washington there's been a campaign in new york to link iran very publicly to nine eleven on the anniversary of those attacks earlier this year there was a billboard campaign in times square with god's face and something along the lines of you know the silent partner of al qaeda. there's clearly a campaign right now to try to ratchet up the pressure for yet another u.s. attack on a middle eastern country and i just think this is so dangerous if you go back to when those attacks happened immediately afterwards iran condemn. the attacks there were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of iran in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. and cooperating with the united states in helping
5:09 am
topple the taliban who. is an enemy of iran as was osama bin laden what we're seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process and i'm worried that this is exactly what we saw with iraq this is this is a campaign to go to war. more world news now and the regime anger has boiled over in the gypsy simic capital function between the two civilian demonstrators have risen for a second day the violence of eight people dead and over the three hundred it's by a day it's almost a chink's moved into despair three weeks this in protests demanding an urgent end to military despite stage two of the face election being on the way. floods triggered by a tropical storm in the southern philippines it now killed nearly two hundred people leave the night about two thirds of the victims died to nick had a guy and although this is the worst hit by
5:10 am
a good result officials say the number killed by the floods is likely joe bloggs. machine gun fire on the gaza israel border has left one man dead and two other people wounded the israeli military said troops opened fire after hearing a loud explosion but it has not been confirmed whether the man was killed by military bullets it comes just a week after israel carried out air strikes on gaza killing five and injuring dozens more. sanctions have been lifted against libya's banks to try and lessen the country's cash crisis the u.n. security council move was followed by america removing most of its restrictions against tripoli they were imposed on moammar gadhafi regime in february at the start of their prize and it killed more than thirty thousand people and dealt a blow to libya's economy and its fight or an industry. libya's civil war ended almost two months ago but the aftershocks still resonate nationwide as r.t.
5:11 am
reports online behavior this is to whether these killing was a war crime leading to speculation over who could be held accountable. and also on the website the world trade organization welcomes russia. into the fall so we explore what that might mean at home and abroad you can find out more at r.t. dot com. now a russian built rocket has launched successfully from the european spaceport in french guyana taking with it a payload of mostly spying satellites for france well one of those civilian uses though is that one of the satellites provide us with high resolution three d.
5:12 am
color images of the earth also on board as a chilean eye in the sky which will be used for mapping of farmlands it's only the second time a russian rocket has blasted off from outside former soviet countries following a similar successful mission last month in french guy and let's talk now to mark hansel vice president of the british interplanetary society he's in london. is joining us here mr hadfield other soyuz rockets are workhorses effectively that have been around for decades are they very much different from when they were first used back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . very are very much the same rocket the soyuz rocket was the rocket essentially that launched but make one so it goes all the way back to nineteen fifty seven. why are these hardly any alternatives to the soyuz why do we continue to use this same model. there's lots of alternatives there's something like twenty six launchers operational at the moment it's just
5:13 am
that choreographed to the very good job on the first rocket and it's still a very valuable lot system. what we mentioned earlier the crash of russia's cargo space ship in august after which launches were halted and raising doubts over the soyuz rockets reliability and have those problems really been resolved. it was never written on reliable rocket or rockets have underlying failure rate soyuz has always been one of the most reliable. the problems that caused the crash why don't you provide something to be done to put them right it will remain a very reliable rocket but it may possibly have paid is in the future every rocket buzz well after the us retired it shuttles back in july russian rockets really became the only viable transport into space but is there anyone else you can we
5:14 am
simply be expected to share the burden we know that india japan and china all have space programs. it's only from. launches that the soyuz vehicle with both the soyuz spacecraft on the launcher is the only alternative at the moment to get to the space station the only other operational manned system is the chinese run which again is. based on the soyuz but that one chinese aren't allowed to go to the space station i think it's going to be a little while before alternative routes to get men to the space station will be found there's some american private french just sort of trying to do it. but i think we're a little way off. and it's the second russian rocket launch from the european space port in french sky and more planned what makes it such a good location for this. simply it is close to the equator and it's got
5:15 am
a lot of sea to the east those are the ideal places to put a launch site because you get the best kick from the spin of the earth and more importantly from the soyuz point of view is it enables you to launch into your stationary orbits easier just to queue which have to be on the plane of equator imagine the earth as a globe there's a sheet of paper through the equator that's where you want the satellites so the closer your lot side is to that sheet of paper french very close the easier it is to get satellites into those variable orbits so looking forward to think we're going to continue to see many more launches of this nature more soyuz rockets being used for this kind of work up in space. yes i do think big investment to put soyuz in french it does the soyuz can capture. satellites which will go but what new satellites of the ones that will have that
5:16 am
will so it looks like it's going to be a very good business for both of us alone for the russians we will the soyuz ok many times mark hansel there vice president of the british independent two society . well the military hearing of the wiki leaks aspect is a point with bradley manning's lawyers demanding the officer overseeing his case steps aside they claim his all the role investigating the whistle blowing web site's founder makes him biased or manning is accused of releasing secret military and diplomatic data to wiki leaks and made his first public appearance since being detained over a year and a half ago the army private faces twenty two charges of distributing government secrets which he allegedly passed to wiki leaks and of aiding the enemy he could face life in prison if convicted former cia officer ray mcgovern says that if brandi banning did anything it was to reveal abuses the american people needed to know about. these charges are greatly overwrought.
5:17 am
gates's term so there has been no indication of serious damage to u.s. personnel or those who cooperate with the united states what's the damage is it is the revelation of things that the american people should know about and that's what bradley manning was doing by his own players own e-mails see indicated that he wanted this to lead to a discussion and a debate and sort of the consideration or the kinds of policies that he witnessed the effect so there are agreed ation of values here there is the promise of the written promise that i and others assigned before we became employed and got access to classified information they will not release information that would endangered the national security but the supreme value there is what ethicists call a supervening value and that's what bradley manning saw he saw the torture he saw
5:18 am
the other abuses he saw the feckless war and he said i can go back and keep my mouth shut like my superiors say or i can follow my conscience at great peril to myself and this is very clear in his e-mails at great peril to myself the american people need to know what's going on so they can make more and lighten decisions when up next we head to one of its most unstable regions in the battle to stop the young falling prey to terrorist. targets on a piece in russia headlines almost every day with reports of exchanges of fire and explosions eighty percent of all anti terror operations in russia carried out the troubled republic as between a coach and i reports f it's also being made to wipe out radicalism. the caucasian republic of dagestan in russia is one of the most volatile areas in the
5:19 am
country groups of militants operating in this part of the caucasus are reported to have strong links with al qaida look to exalt people in when they're young and to tell rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials tourism has often warranted the lives of many innocent families across the region because of that a number of organizations have sprung up fighting for victims' rights and helping is also fought to piece their lives back together i had a turns to spend the day with. after losing her son three years ago has dedicated her life battling for her people's future. it's a called mr winter morning in march gone so you'd learn a sign of as always is first in the office the telephone starts to ring right as she enters the room it is the usual start of the day for the mothers of dagestan a human rights organization created four years ago and now known across the region
5:20 am
today's headline is heading to the outskirts of the capital a single mother of four lives that her husband was killed by robbers and she was left with nothing but her children sitting on the brings food clothes and talks to her talking as soon as the most important part offering reassurance to victims that they have not been forgotten your gravel should know when you will our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in if they're in need we come to help most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask to help three years ago said lana was in the same position when one day her son failed to return home she didn't know what to do and most valuable time that could have been used to rescue him. with that he won't even knew then what i know today my rights the right people i could have saved him i could have found out where he was good have done something. sigler son was accused of helping terrorists in dagestan she
5:21 am
fears he was killed but where she still doesn't know these accusations are common in this region young and immature people often become the victims of terrorist brainwashing high unemployment also boast this quite often people that fall under the influence of those with no financial or social prospects and see going into the forest use them as one for joining terrorist as the only way out for them that's what happened with mariam and it cost her her life she had a difficult childhood was raised without a father and her mother couldn't provide for the family her mother hung remembers how when her daughter started working at the market she met very religious people that. a truce i thought there was nothing bad in that but then my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real new slang were going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never listened she only listened to her new friends who were. her new friends turned out
5:22 am
to be extremists and the last year of her life she disappeared for several months the next time her mother saw her face was on t.v. in a report on the latest special forces raid against suspected terrorists these dug least skirmishes are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region the tarus lead by dog who is russia's most wanted militant and on the list of america's most wanted terrorists want to establish a pan caucasian islamist state. in the last decade parts of dagestan has become really just a rise you can lice this region is now the heart of precious islamic terrorist problem and almost every day the authorities are engaged and should thousand with terrorists and very often that happens even in the capital city of the region. locals say it's hardly surprising muslims are turning. to radical islam as they see it as an alternative to the hard life in the region the older members of the
5:23 am
community believe a large proportion of those who went to the fore is a simply bandits from an dissatisfied younger generation. if anyone told me thirty years ago their life in dagestan would be like what we see now i would never believe that. locals want the rule of law enforced and respected again a return to a time before terror played such a dominant part in the lives of so many marginal question r.t. close up in the republic of dagestan. new zealand crafters deliver day to a russian fishing vessel that's been stuck in ice and out for two days the flight delivered fuel and a pump to help the crew of thirty to get rid of the water which is leaking in the ship called spotter has a hole about one hundred meters below the waterline in crewmembers have been ditching according to decrease the ship's weight rescuers say it's if they managed
5:24 am
out the vessel could be repaired or maybe the trawler to say out of trouble. the internet was built on the backbone of freedom for all who use it but in no way did curbing online piracy being debated by the u.s. congress is being seen as a smokescreen to stifle free speech by some internet activists are and swartz says it has little to do with copyright protection. the government doesn't just take down the infringing material it takes on the site entirely and it does it without even a trial to find out whether it's illegal or not and as you know copyright laws are extremely complicated there are lots of things that look like copyright infringement but turn out to be licensed in one way or another part of this is a larger crackdown on freedom of speech there's pretty much no other law that would give the government the power to censor the internet that wouldn't be laughed out of congress you know if you said the government needed to censor the internet to protect national security it would be widely seen in america's totally unacceptable and beyond the pale but by using copyright as a wedge issue suddenly we're able to put this power in the hands of the government
5:25 am
and then once they have it it can be expanded and expanded to deal with a whole range of other things one of the interesting provisions in this law is that it doesn't just shut down websites it also increases the penalties for people caught in gauging and copyright infringement so for example if you make a video on you tube of yourself singing and copyrighted song this bill would increase the penalty to that to ten years in jail so there's all sorts of people who do these things that would just be considered part of natural life as a teenager that now are facing huge felony charges as a result of this law. now around a thousand people have gathered on moscow's block maya square protesting against the results of the parliamentary election a fortnight ago the supporters of the liberal yabloko party which it didn't make it into the duma this year yet to visit promising to gather about ten thousand people so far the turnout seems to be lower well the square became a focal point of the protest last week when over twenty thousand people converged to boys their discontent at the poll results. ok just to add
