one man was killed during the school siege of the republic of two bodies in the balcony in russia's north caucasus and this man is reported to be a serviceman aged twenty seven at first also there were reports that there were up to a seven people taking hostage in the school of building but clearly this information was denied and what we know so far is that this three armed man stormed the building of the school and at the time several people were playing volleyball in the sport hall and also that's a moment there were no children in the building right now the attackers have laughed at the area of the school but the police blocked the whole neighborhood and the search operation continues now of course with police investigating the incident it's not the first terrorist attack in the region sadly is it. indeed. the capital of a car but you know about a republican was a witness to

a number of violent accidents in the past couple of months and two just recently in november last year seven militants were killed during an anti terror operation also . were early locals managed to prove beyond a major terror attack over the city when they found a hidden bomb at the same time in the same month were several militants were also killed in another anti terror operation and there were reports that they were planning our major attack over at the inter ministry of the region so yes indeed this is a region of the you know about how the republicans rushes north caucuses remains a very volatile pile all right thanks for bringing us up to date then did a question of the north caucuses correspondent. the websites were hijacked to thousands of internet freedom supporters marched outside a major two pronged protest in poland is because the country has just signed up to

a global web piracy part covering everything from movies and music to fashion pharmaceuticals but it's not stretches wide ati's election as your excuse in warsaw to explain a bit more. well this document called the courtesy trade agreement which has been signed by poland and many other countries other countries in fact including the united states. new zealand and others is the reason why tens of thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland is the reason why most of the governmental web sites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous hacker group it is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web and to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of new berlin and

posen in central poland we are expecting more protests tomorrow on friday in more so the problem about this document is not it was worked out in complete secrecy bypassing all governments and the general public had no access to it so that's why the regular users are afraid that this document would be used against them i'll just give you a simple example for instance you create a website and you put links to your favorite movies on this website and big corporations can in fact start a criminal case against you saying that you violate the agreement so nobody knows to what extent corporations can go in using this document in fact misusing this document as the protesters fear in poland and everywhere they protest against it certainly has some resemblance to the american soap bill which is also being discussed in the united states but the difference is that the bill is a more american local thing the act is definitely international and it will concern

all countries which sign it in we are certainly in possibly for more protests across the european continent we should see. with the latest from poland we'll let's talk now go live to manchester talk to laws case from the u.k. the pirate party law is very good a big thanks being on r.t. you i gather already free internet advocate all good stuff but i must put to buy low and copyright infringement to occur are you making the problem worse if you help on stealing the first place i guess the obvious question is government would need to be so draconian would they over the years well well let's let's look at actually what's taking place at the moment this is part of a line along a long line of attacks on civil liberties and internet freedom the agreement is just the latest in these moves that we've seen now.

the person you interviewed mentioned the the soap agreement which was already dropped by the united states under a wave of wave of protests now the actor agreement has the potential to be just as dangerous or even more so to the very fabric of the internet and our economy so that it. really what is the problem now the question is under the name of dealing with copyright infringement it's actually going to mean that there's going to be an arms an acceptable level of surveillance on all of our internet connections essentially what this agreement does to see turns your internet service provider into a kind of police officer and that's really one of the problems about the changes that this agreement prints about makes a copyright infringement a criminal offense which is in fact entirely new move ok so i mean not to

get the point here but i'm just being devil's advocate as well i don't i start on either side getting movies music for free is basically stealing is it not i mean sure the government is all right well. one measures to stop right there. i mean well one of us one of the tell me you're one of the things first extraordinary one of the extraordinary things is that the music industry in the film industry would have us believe that there is a crisis because of so-called piracy there is no crisis in fact last year u.s. news excels hit an all time high hollywood can still continues to see continues to see extraordinary box office rather than it is right now. who are you to say that they will be having every last penny that they say they did well the point is yes the point is though that there are entirely legitimate channels for

for for redress what we're saying that this is that this is entirely draconian agreement which is also entirely unnecessary it will in fact have a chilling effect on the working of the internet it's going to mean that also sites and particularly use of content generated sites are going to have to do an enormous amount of due diligence it's going to have a chilling effect on innovation why do you think it. has been either you tube or flicker so why do you think about thirty one of the. yes well one of the one of the things is. that the universe and its states is continuing to push its own agenda this is been negotiated in secret behind closed doors it's time for the citizens of europe how to true voice in addressing this draconian and unnecessary agreement and we'll see more protests like we've seen in poland this this agreement

affects everyone because it's about food patron saint of seeds it's about drugs it's about your health it's also about our shared culture and it's time that we we stand up and hold our politicians to account laws for so making a point loss kerry there from the party alive on r.t. thank you. it's all supplies to europe before the even bugger comes into force in july parliament will discuss next week whether to make the move the e.u. decided to stop buying a rainy no oil in a bid to force back into talks over its nuclear program sure and show favor from a campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran explain what message this move sense to you. the grace period that the vision for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands another issue is that it shows a complex city offering in domestic politics and the power that the iranian

parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty off off the wrong there chose that disconnect between. his harlem and him people because this is a model is not something which is going to be to the benefit of both and there's also a disconnect between european governments on their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about at the at the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar which is a very good thing in the lot longer and of course they raid the middle class the small businesses who actually do business with your pin businesses that are going to suffer but that is the iran claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independents who are on as a whole as

a as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign businesses. on the way in a few minutes divorce versus the crisis. global political and economic leaders meet here at the world economic forum to tackle the eurozone crisis and also the arab spring meanwhile those who protested activists that want their voices heard remain locked out of. the international medical charity doctors without borders is suspending its mission in the libyan city of misrata because of torture carried out in detention centers there they say they repeatedly treated patients who've been suffering under interrogation while also the u.n. is concerned about the conditions in which some eight thousand five hundred people are being held in the country where several between he's reportedly died it's got to speed on this i'm told to political. get his thoughts he's joining us live from london there. live you know officials have repeatedly promised stubbornly to tackle the abuses which are said to be stating libya's record of abuse surely not the new

page that many had been hoping for in a new country is it. well actually is new is new really because people have an image sometimes of his regime of this horrible kind of. torture and killings but i've actually been scouring through the human rights watch reports of the five years leading up to the rebellion of last year and that whole five year period there was a three possible death in custody that human rights watch wanted investigated now if you consider in britain in august alone of last month we had four deaths in custody as including in our execution of mark duggan and two deaths by beating to death by the police jake of my cousin dale so you know the british police committed more human rights abuse in a single month last year than they did get after five years or actually this this is new but it's not new since the fall of certainly the fall of gadhafi and it

started with the very beginning of the rebellion the very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion and eighteenth of february african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death by the rebels and this really set the tone and this kind of behavior by the rebels now the so-called government has continued ever since you say down the so-called government there so ok allegedly with blood on the hands of the new government what can the signal is the m.t.c. sending to the west the west that of course supported the country's transition to democracy. well it's really the decision the signals the matter of the signals the west sends to the m.d.c. the west in control of the m.d.c. installed them in power they understand that they don't have popular support it's nato support the put them into power and maintain a power so the. m.d.c. they've they've expressed support for this kind of. given up mixed messages. when the town of to while ago was ethnically cleansed of all ten thousand was black

residents last year then president of the m.d.c. mahmoud jabril he actually said. what how he was questioned about it and he said well what happens to the people of the work is the business of the people of misrata no one else's business that was given the green light for the torture and execution that we're seeing now but actually has been continuous since the very start of the uprising. we've all been witnessing the last couple of days renewed clashes between n.c.c. forces and former regime supporters in libya now again these are new reports as well about these cases of abuse if they are true the idea of a united libya seems as far away as ever doesn't it. yeah absolutely and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule is the oldest imperial trick in the book and this is exactly what they're implying i mean if you look the destabilization strategy that they're employing is very precise and they followed it very precisely in afghan and afghanistan and iraq as well what do they do first of all they destroyed completely the existing state state operators produced ok

orse and then now this is the interesting part they plan from the electoral process the biggest most popular and most organized political grouping in the country they did this in iraq with a deep part of the occasion they did this in afghanistan continuing to this day to deny any meaningful. part of the taliban in the political process and now they're doing in libya just recently the m.d.c. announced no doubt the prompting of his western paymasters that the new electoral role law would be that gadhafi loyalists so-called would be barred from taken part in the election so this is a clear recipe for civil war if you're buying the most organized most popular grouping in a country from participation a form of political process what else are they going to do to influence it by force of arms and this is exactly what we're seeing but this is not new again this is what they've done in iraq and afghanistan is created deliberately the conditions

for civil war because they're scared of these countries which are resource rich countries at least in the case of iraq and libya three scared of them being independent countries that are able to have some regional influence in the world so sorry. we're out of time i'm afraid down but thank you very much for your thoughts there from from london. now it's the second day of business he divorced as the world's financial decision makers and top brass politicians make new plans to keep the global crisis and bay while making some profit along the way too may be also on the table at the world economic forum in switzerland is fallout from the arab uprisings and finding ways to try to breathe new life back into the struggling eurozone wrapping it all up parties lauren lyster in dab was. today we heard from david cameron u.k. prime minister who had quite a different message than what we heard from angela merkel yesterday when she opened up davos so david cameron came out and said that number of things that he believes the euro zone needs he said they need

a quick speedy resolution to greet debt issuance is and fiscal transfers and order to deal with imbalances so sounds to me like he's calling for some kind of euro bond said that there needs to be a firewall big enough and said you know really right now the euro zone has none of these things now this is in contrast to angela merkel yesterday who said we're not going to pledge more bailout money even though maybe the investment community wants it we're promising you that we believe this fiscal integration will solve the problem along with structural reforms geared towards things like creating jobs so different message from u.k. prime minister today but a couple things i thought were really interesting so he was asked about what all this means for the future of free market capitalism which is a debate going on here at davos and the emergence and rise of state capitalism and david cameron continue to tout free market capitalism and the european model as the best for freedom and democracy but one thing that came to mind is what we've seen with the technocrats installed that are now running the governments of italy and

greece and pushing through these reforms that were very much dictated or influenced by germany and what germany wanted today we see the focus shift to the arab spring which obviously is a political geopolitical issue but was very much has economic ramifications as we see reported davos investors questioning what is the prospect of the change in the arab spring nations and what the prospects for investment are we've seen economic impacts of the geopolitical changes we've seen yields in egypt for example surged bahrain cost be very high there so i think people are looking for answers to that and we have a number of events today that are geared towards discussing that very issue with some prominent leaders from tunisia and egypt here at the forum this year we've seen the occupy movement gather such steam and. and really of course they would be expected to be at davos at the world economic forum the irony is that as i was reading one analysis they were saying it sounds a little like klaus schwab the founder of the world economic forum is channeling occupy and his rhetoric about the problems of capitalism the irony of course is the

occupy protesters and activists are part of the conversation here at the forum. laura list of the couple of world news headlines to make you aware of the syrian troops stormed a heavily populated damascus suburb where government forces pulled out earlier this week after clashes with opposition fighters the u.n. security council could vote in the next few days on a resolution aimed at stemming the country's risk of a conflict in syria itself the arab league crucial monitoring mission resumed for the first time we saw from the six go nations pull out and call on the u.n. to act. in baghdad ten members of a single family have been killed as they slept for the house was blown up by insurgents two police officers their wives and children died of explosives were planted around the homes three people also died when a motorcycle bomb exploded in the northern city of kut in the latest in a string of attacks since the u.s. military withdrawal in december. moscow next r.t.

talks with british author and middle east expert who explains what he believes was the arab spring turning point and who he thinks is still stoking the unrest. i'm talking to joan all broadly he's a foreign correspondent he's dedicated his life to writing about the middle east to publications all round the world in the wake of the arab spring he says fall from

the democratic pluralism that the west assumed would take over was in fact rushing into that power vacuum is. john albright the thanks very much for talking to us today now we'll start with the situation in iran because it's very much in the news at the moment the e.u. has banned all new oil contracts with the country and it plans to extend sanctions on the iranian central bank how much do you think that's going to cost iran the e.u. and the global economy in general it's certainly going to cost the runs we've seen today the local currency. level against the u.s. dollar in history and the fact is that iran explore a sizable amount of resort to the you and coupled with american sanctions unilateral sanctions are already in place against iran it's going to hurt but what we're seeing essentially is the first phase of economic warfare against iran the whole in washington there are allies in saudi arabia and israel are absolutely absolutely determined to bring iran to its knees and it seems like it's now or

never they're going for broke you are very worried about ethnic divisions all through to middle east which comes the fore in both iran and also in syria is certainly is the miskin control of most of the middle east what do you think the outcome could be if you look back at the arab spring the turning point in late february when saudi arabia was given the go ahead by washington. what happened then is related very much to everything that's happening now because it's the only country that is sure majority rule by a sunny minority and iran has historically been on the u.s. navy's fifth fleet starts luke. to containing iran and so essentially what we've seen is a sunny divide reemerge in the middle east with washington clearly backing sonny powerhouse saudi arabia close american ally and saudi arabia in turn along has

taken control of the revolutions out swearin so for example its funding and into the main islamic party in tunisia the muslim brotherhood and more extremist groups in egypt and of course in syria the main opposition is made dominated by the muslim brotherhood and the so-called free syrian army is dominated by not only radical jihadi is from within syria but also jihadi is from throughout the region where we're told constantly that there's no real threat because these are moderate islamist parties but of course the definition of moderate makes absolutely no sense you say that that if that is the miscreants who have stepped into the breach in many of these countries are you saying that these weren't genuine people's uprisings at the time. the idea. behind it is that they hijacked the revolutions and precisely because they were in fact islamists inspired the beginning in tunisia could never have been because it's rather in prison already

and the muslim brotherhood in egypt openly came out against the revolution in a shooting the problem is that the motivation for these revolutions was economic internees here for example it started in the deep south even paul for the south in syria it started in a city near jordan which is been experiencing a drought for three years and in egypt an extensive opinion poll carried out even among those who went to her here just after mubarak fell showed that only nineteen percent of the free and fair elections and free expression and so on of the top of their gender their main priority sixty five percent was the economy now the people who provoked the. revolutions foolishly declared their revolutions leaderless and they didn't have an agenda anyone who knows anything about revolutionary uprisings in the past knows that what happens in the post-revolutionary chaos is that the

groups that are most disciplined and most ruthless politically then fill the vacuum and so when you couple that with the fact that they are then with the funding that we've been talking about from saudi arabia. able to manipulate the electoral process. they were perfectly poised to to step into the interview and fill the vacuum and that's what they've done is what we're seeing in syria basically said islamic revolution absolutely if we've been hearing constant greatly exaggerated predictions of the syrian regime's t. minus for eleven months now if a popular revolution was going to happen it would have happened already the fact is though they may have no great love for the cucumber face president. the. general feeling of better the devil we know and you talk about the arab really do you think that the mission in syria has essentially played into the hands of days

to existing pressure on the syrian also receives it is a overstepping its mark when it makes demolishes while the mediating the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street and everyone knows that it's a top of the g.c.c. and so it's a means not to create momentum that the arab league itself can then implement all the recounting and has imposed sanctions and they suspended syria and could possibly impose a no fly zone and what they are going to do is what they did with libya before you remember before the u.n. resolution on the arab league being conveniently almost all of those who voted were from the gulf cooperation council in support of the no fly zone in libya what the arab. the mission is trying to accomplish is get enough evidence concrete evidence about human rights abuses on the part of the regime to then take that to the un and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china will feel compelled to

work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know is the monitors seem to know more about what's going on the ground than they did at the beginning and so it all looks like it will be going back to square one john albright thank you very much thank you.
