the anniversary of a pro-democracy uprising in bahrain put down the tactics and weapons from the u.k. sparking claims of western hypocrisy over different votes in the region. one sided reports from syria and the regime for atrocities seen by some as an attempt to hide the truth of the conflict by sweeping crimes under the carpet. and sizing up their rivals u.s. leaders can. vice president and the way to feel good paying the two nations by for the upper hand.

watching r.t. a very warm welcome to you well the pictures are from regime forces cracker. down on protesters but this time they emanate from bahrain activists trying to mark the one year anniversary of a pro-democracy uprising were dispersed why heavily armed police have a bennett reports their weapons as well as the tactics they have been imported from the u.k. . tear gas and stun grenades supposedly the work of a reformed police force but one year on since the first anti-government protests were crushed in bahrain it seems not much has changed the only difference now the crackdown has been planned by one of britain's former top cops john yates used to be assistant commissioner of london's metropolitan police he now works for bahrain's monarchy which says he's there to oversee police reform the police have borrowed a behavior despicably their latest trick is to throw cans of tear gas into homes of

people they don't like shut the doors and people have died choking to death tear gas or use out of doors and i think for any british police officer just as retired to be associated in any way with that is it's wrong yes resigned from scotland yard last year no early fictive of the phone hacking scandal he popped up in bahrain in december as part of the regime's p.r. campaign to clean up its image a campaign pushed hard it seems by gates himself he recently told the daily telegraph his new charges had a well rehearsed plan for the anniversary of the uprising adding the concept of reasonable reaction to provocation has been reinforced. as for the uprising itself yates said this isn't organized protests it's just vandalism rioting on the streets claims hotly disputed by london's bahraini community i mean when you get thousands and thousands of people protesting demanding their rights and you find that. if you

seem to forget that there are sixty five or sixty five people actually died in france from police brutality activists in bahrain insists their protest was peaceful their aim to reach the iconic pole roundabout in the capital manama they say they were met by tanks toxic gas and rubber bullets what we witnessed on the ground as not. the front or from what the impact was previously but it's been extended through the toxic gases and use of poisoning of. mr john as contributing we should see a positive things at the ground what we are seeing today is nothing except what it may not just be british tactics bahrain seizing but weapons to government figures show the u.k. sold over one million pounds worth of rifles and artillery equipment to bahrain

from july to september last year long after blood was spilled that's despite insisting all licenses had been revoked as for yates his contract runs until april by which time he hopes to have put in place concrete reforms on this evidence that seems a long way off offer bennett r.t. london. a middle east expert eric alley says the different attitudes world powers are taking to bahrain's uprising are easily explained by how useful the regime is to them. those countries which are regarded as as the west or stooges of the west basically. criticise regularly it's not just the gulf states or bahrain in particular it is also countries like yemen whose brutal dictatorial present president former president is currently in the united states receiving medical treatment there were demonstrations in saudi arabia a few days ago which got very little coverage of course the saudis have no

democracy at all it is probably the most undemocratic country in the entire arab world no one talks about this because it's so useful concrete it has always and it does what the west starts to wrench in in bahrain was greenlighted by the united states which is very strong in their principle of tape and they crush the uprising but erekat he has also provided us with some insight on the current crisis in syria a special interview with him is on their way to the south but before that has what else is coming up in the program turkey wants to keep out of the economic war on iran decided to protect its national interests by continuing to import iranian oil . and last has ripped through an oil pipeline in the syrian city of homs where clashes between regime troops and opposition fighters have continued for over a week think smoke can be seen hanging over the city activists say the explosion

was caused by a government test like meanwhile reports suggest the army has sent tanks which are attacking residential areas into the country's fourth largest city. to the nation hard to verify the concerns that some one time the regime painted a bad night position. since the beginning of the uprising in syria last march the regime of bashar al assad has been accused of refreshen torture and killing but with abad meant of high. blame has since focused on our side forces attacking civilians and shell in residential areas. the beautiful yard calls himself a member of the opposition an intellectual not marry one his stresses from a social democratic group originally from homes he blames assad for mistakes which allowed bloodshed at the start but he just defies what the regime is doing in his native city now he is the two i am he is trying to to to.

protect civilians i think that in homs there are many gangs you know there is a title and everyone can claim that he belongs with this title and no one can ban him the danger posed by the armed forces was seen in the killing of a french journalist last month and he says when he went to homes he put in his mind that the syrian opposition is very peaceful and the g.m. is trying to frame them so he he was like a pioneer in the call and he was killed by the some gang attacks on government targets have become increasingly bloody themselves with twenty eight people killed and scores injured on an attack on a military base in a letter last week an f.s.a. free syrian army recruits entered to admit its responsibility before the organization later denied it blaming the government forces a claim ridiculed by the regime. insurgents and terrorists have committed this

attack only an insane person could say that the government is killing its officials and officers and destroying its own administrative buildings these armed terror groups were created to commit these crimes and they have committed them in the past and will continue to do so if the west and the arab states support them last sunday the arab league vote still for full political and financial support for the opposition to unify its ranks but it can. a similar call from the leader of al qaeda urging muslims to unite efforts to help overthrow bashar al assad recent reports suggest iraqi weapons qatari troops and libyan rebels are role in syria on the opposition side this makes for a volatile and highly dangerous makes. many western powers interested in fomenting unrest and syria and so they'll turn a blind eye to extreme weapons coming in through borders like lebanon and turkey to

create the very militants i won't call them terrorists but very dangerous armed groups but the west has its eyes wide open when it comes to the reported death toll to come of the no un figure more than five thousand employees civilians only but that figure leaves out any mention of pro-government forces killed in the conflict some say the numbers are destroyed to meet political objectives our number so for six thousand around six. but you would be surprised to know that over two thousand eight hundred. this is. the moment to foreign pressure has focused on the assad regime but the syrian government and its international supporters say it's been a total failure talk all that follows from opposition forces which has been a key factor in the country's present terrible they won't find it a solution to the country's crisis isn't possible without recognizing all its

causes. syria. well for various national is a first hand reports on impressions from inside syria to check out her twitter feed her latest tweets she says locals are skeptical about the latest arab league initiatives to bring in peacekeepers and deeply concerned about al-qaeda militants and then surely fighting in the country. patrick hayes a reporter for the online magazine spiked told r.t. that some major players are rejecting peaceful solutions for syria and polarizing an already complex situation the removal of diplomats from syria. the. desire to arm the free syrian army from the west and to basically support them to give them kind of sectioned off training areas where they can develop and strong opposition apart from the kind of threat of assad's. you know the west isn't willing to have you know encourage any kind of dialogue or discourse and to

alternately they want you know they've now polarized the situation right now said you know. evil we need to get rid of him they use those kind of terms evil you know the. bogeyman and you know the syrian people are vulnerable victims who need to be protected by the west now i think we saw the same thing with gaddafi and it's always very striking that you know it was only two years ago that assad was seen as the great reformer in syria the west were basically queuing up to talk to him. later times correspondent pasch abbas says unlike libya syria won't fall under western influence through intervention because it has a stronger position in the region. well this takes in syria much higher compared to libya because this is that directs that that direct clash between the u.s. and nato on one side and russia and china on the one in on the other side much more

david was in libya in libya russia and china and even the the other brics and germany as well they said ok maybe this is not the red line yes let's give them the benefit of the doubt i mean the french the brits and the americans the country was destroy syria you cannot do that because first of all they're going to have to fight the real army even if they're not very competent but they are battle hardened there's been two wars in the middle east the syrian army it's a smaller country there's more population you cannot simply landings asian is out of the question because the it would go all over the place the repercussions to turkey to jordan to iraq to saudi arabia so nato spread is to foment civil war and that's it's like there's actually what they are doing. but trying to. topple the first day of talks in the chinese vice president's visit to the u.s. changing pains american colleagues a voice disappointment with beijing. the u.n.

resolution on syria or china was criticism for its tight trade laws and lack of quote the right to force one. ecstatically from the brief exchanges. the ceremonial. is sized up changing pain. to beijing of the next decade auntie's christine for reports now. between the two economic giants. he loves me loves me that age old question is one china at least has every right to ask regarding its relationship with the united states just in the last three years china has been windy or dying. praised and envied for its ability to do whatever it wants right now in china the government can disconnect parts of its internet in the case of war we need to have that here too the chinese pay zero capital gains tax folks in congress are also going to get

a chance to decide later. in the month whether our construction workers should sit around doing nothing while china builds the best railroads the best schools the best airports. in the world but it turns out those chocolate covered compliments seem to come just as frequently as those cold hearted criticisms from human rights to currency devaluation to trade we finally need to confront the issue of trade with china all too often china's been competing in a way that's tilting the playing field and is unfair to u.s. work and it's not just the president himself those hoping to take his job also tend to flip flop on china these guys around for us and and and and looking for ways to . to work to harness china doesn't want to various they want to see has succeeded thrive so we can buy more chinese products ivan eland senior fellow at the independent institute says the paradox transcends the rhetoric we borrow

a lot of money from china too so it's quite a curious thing that we're really borrowing money to pay for defending other countries from china right i mean that's what really during the mixed messages are reaching the masses as well in a recent gallup poll by fifty two percent to thirty two percent americans were more likely to name china than the united states as the leading economic power in the world today even though it's not however in a separate survey when asked which country represents the greatest danger china came in second only after iran in life and love there appears to be a fine line between resentment and respect i want to be china i want to go to war with china and make america the most attractive place in the world to do business if you look at china they're in a very different such as they say for their own retirement security they don't have the f.t.c. they don't have the modern welfare state and china's growing it's that growth and the sharing is caring relationship that has bound these countries in this holy

union this trade and economic interdependence with china is is really a defining factor and perhaps like most relationships there's nothing simple about the. between the u.s. and china there are disagreements about who gets to lead when how to spend the money and how to raise the children but the fact is this relationship is one that's going to be around for generations to come in washington christine for our team. paul craig roberts who served in president reagan's administration says that u.s. desperation to store china's rapid rise could prove costly. the united states says it is responding to china in two ways one it's trying to reduce china's independent access to oil around accounts for twenty percent of china's oil so it doesn't make a lot of sense for washington to go to china and say look you embargo yourself from

iranian oil and let us go to an american puppet in office in that country as well so we can prevent your economic development from catching up to us too quickly and the united states is responding to china also with increased military presence united states says that the south china sea is an area of national interests to the united states and of course that doesn't make any sense it's like china saying the gulf of mexico is an area of national interest to china so i think these types of. militaristic statements. encourage china to build up its military and so the americans essentially may be trying to start another arms race

and of course we cannot look on to our web sites had autonomy like the latest news and yes that's all dot com has that's not what's just a click away how could a deal a devastating blow to the well second law to stop books to take out its website with online knock outs. and their veba over the edge and russia's iconic national coffee rifle may be given an honorable discharge as a better weapon thinks one thing a new model. turkey has no plans to consider alternative oil supplies and will continue to import fuel from iran despite the country's nato membership and officials have firmly disapproved of calls for a strike against tehran reluctant to go along with what iran sees as western

economic bullying jihan news agency chief and it says anti iran hysteria harms the entire region. it will be a very important headache for turkey because turkey is part of nato and because of that turkey has certain responsibilities but iran is really important neighbor that two countries iran and turkey did not have war for centuries so it's very difficult to get a settlement it is foolish and by attacking iran which is more than eighty million population really big country but as far as i know the current israeli government are not helping to find. a peaceful. diplomatic solution to the crisis. in terms of the internal

political interest i i i see that unfortunately it helps the tension helps and for the world it is the the sponsibility to see this and to push really means as far as possible in order to get rid of the possibility that we have another war in the middle east which would be detrimental for for all of us. i mean while israel is continuing to point the finger of blame at iran terrorism back to thailand says tuesday's explosions in one corner dentical to this week's attack in india failed terror attempt in june tehran denies any links to the incidents. reportedly charged two iranian suspects who were arrested shortly after the blast the third ripple effect to malaysia and to press sources bangkok was hit by a series of explosions and deaths is

a bonus for the korea taxes and. it isn't remaining i have had to be rescued by emergency services of the heavy snow fall. that inside their own homes the country's winter death toll is now seventy four she's using the trucks to do that. since the end of january hundreds have died across eastern europe tens of thousands of. record snow levels. badly affected. water cannons and tear gas tax return conscripts and argentinian capital protesting for recognition as war veterans regular soldiers who fought in the falklands conflict tonight in eighty two are entitled to pensions and health care demonstrators say they should at the same rights despite never being deployed to the islands twenty four people were detained in several injured coming out cross to a program about thirty g.m.t. people are valid looks beyond giving dispute legal status. if only all

that is found is found around the falkland islands in the area. under its sovereign control then we know where the oil belongs but the sort of back and forth between large including great britain and the following list continues to dominate. the i guess the only the only colonial allegation this whole debate is the fact argentina wants to colonize three thousand british subjects on the hawkeye and i think that's a bit simplistic alex do you want to record i heard david cameron too but oh no it's something i know what you want us let us know. as the three thousand people who live on the falkland islands and they will want to remain british. now that's cos business desk enjoy.

hello and welcome to business here and i'd see the bailout for crisis stricken greece is once again in question and meeting of the finance chiefs to discuss a second multibillion bail. it has now been called off and that's after athens failed to provide critical details about planned spending cuts these include an austerity plan to save extra three hundred twenty five million euros something that inflamed greece with violent protests over the weekend and if the greek cabinet figures out where to squeeze money from brussels would then be able to issue the new bailout cash and that would amount to around one hundred thirty billion euros on top of one hundred ten billion euros granted two years ago. the same with the euro zone china has promised to invest in europe. and keep some of its reserves a euros china might help stabilize the economy of its largest export market amid a global slowdown morgan stanley capital index for asia pacific jumped more than
