rules out allegations that iran is building nuclear weapons conclusion that sixteen separate agencies agree on. also war against iran existing growing pressure over syria prime minister and presidential candidate but in the booted outlines he can see issues out of next week's election progressions top job. international news and comment twenty four hours a day this is r.t. war torn syria is gearing up for an unprecedented referendum on a new draft constitution that would put an end to five decades of single party rule but the opposition is calling on the population to boycott the vote which is set for sunday meanwhile a group of countries led by the u.s. calling themselves friends of syria have called for tougher sanctions on them ask us. explains now what washington and its allies are urging. more than seventeen

nations. and western countries that took part in the meeting of so-called friends of syria have urged more sanctions against the regime of bashar al assad have condemned the violations of human rise here in syria and have called for an immediate bolivar's happening here on the ground the members over this mission have also come out saying that the supports the idea of sending a joint u. and arab league peacekeeping troops to syria to more until the situation and to implement the cease fire we've been here in the friday number of strong statements from the member of this group the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has said that bashar al assad will pay the high price for violations against its people and america has called for more economic sanctions against bashar assad particularly to avoid could all from the country and

to freeze the syrian asses the u.s. has also sat following this meeting that it will give ten million dollars to scale up humanitarian efforts in syria it's actually really remained unclear exactly what they've been talking about what kind of aphorism. they've been speculations and here throw in that it may be about a military action because just recently if you asked didn't rule out the possibility of arming the rebels russia and china didn't take part in this mess in tunisia because they've opposed the idea to invite part of the syrian opposition to not to invite the representatives of the syrian government they've said that only the dialogue between these two sides will be able to end the peace and prosperity of the country and. not invite in that is not is not possible is not acceptable actually. for the friends of syria conference has to recognize the credibility of

the syrian national council but stop short of naming it only the jews so much power in the country the german government consultant christophe still believes that nato allies are taking their regime change strategy from libya to syria. with this kind of friendship syria needs no enemies it is very very clear that what happens in syria is breaking any law or any international carter the current of the united nations this grass interference if they talk about whether they should you know militarily act in syria well they are doing that nato is doing that right now under the table with the help of some corrupt arab states who what we face here is some kind of you know prefabricated agenda that agenda is helpful you know if we see if the west is starting an uprising in iran it is helpful if they start uprisings the whole of the arab world of the northern africa and libya for example where the cia

started it from scratch from zero here there was no such uprising against gaddafi and then the you know further it with international law is and western media propaganda and now they are trying the same agenda in syria but as we notice everybody in the world who is watching closely notices that this kind of agenda simply doesn't work here opposition in syria is so badly disunited there is so much you know in trouble with each other inside this opposition that there is no real thing we can do nato can do politically right now. what america's intelligence community has ruled out allegations that iran is creating a nuclear bomb the los angeles times reports that sixteen separate agencies all reached the same conclusion iran is on the heavy international pressure over its nuclear program which it insists is for peaceful energy related purposes only the u.s. and its allies have been putting up sanctions on tehran as they suspect it's trying to make nuclear weapons and israel has repeatedly threatened to strike iran's

nuclear sites. manisha from california state university says similar intelligence reports a few years ago by washington because it didn't sit well with its ultimate goal in iraq. regime change. everything to nationally. is near so it's first two thousand and seven. basically a savior that i'm actually reading from the. judge read high confidence that fall two thousand and three point its nuclear weapons program nevertheless when it came out using it which administration the people on the the only board obviously the obama the assertion is not. the are actually two closer in recent to the taking place in iraq one has to do we know little less than five percent of what has to do with twenty percent you reach twenty percent enrichment is intended

to be used in a nuclear reactor which makes little formidable purposes for a long time near the so-called experience in the us and israel very clearly that you don't cannot actually need nuclear rods for that particular reactor iran has actually started to put it. into the reactor already so they are going to use those for the nuclear fuel the other you reach less than five percent of the number of centrifuges in the record. that doesn't mean that there are going to be quarks it really doesn't mean much. taia police say they found no link between a spate of bombings in bangkok and attempts on the lives of israeli diplomats in georgia and india it complicates matters for tell of if which found a media frenzy by accusing iran of being behind all those attacks skeptics accuse israel of using the allegations to bolster support for

a military strike on iran's nuclear sites or to reports that from tel aviv. the statement means that they have. a looks into possibility or whether or not the iranian nationals which they have in custody right now whether or not they weren't is connected to what seemed to be for a while this extensive terror plot which sought of course to attack israeli diplomats abroad and according to police indeed the two iranian nationals who were arrested in bangkok just earlier this month are actually not connected to the terror plots in india and in georgia now the two men were arrested following a small explosion in a residential part of the city of bangkok they were apprehended and the in fact the iranian government has condemned the terror attacks but there are some ways which are saying that this was in fact in large part and the attempts by the israeli government to draw as much media attention as possible to the events in fact there was

a media frenzy because the israeli government was going out of their way in order to make it look like all of their nationals world over are going to be under attack from iran and in fact being tried their utmost to paint iran as this ultimate evil power which is on the brink of just literally steps away from creating a nuclear bomb of course the until now we still have no evidence of that being the case iran insists that its nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes and indeed there is no evidence to contradict that statement so of course this statement from the thai police only shows only goes to show that in fact israel may have been pushing the whole iran is going to attack every israeli citizen in the world and that is steps away from creating the nuclear bomb in fact those statements may not have that much basis in reality. what's ahead for you this hour the new face of religion in the secular country we look at how new forms of islam

sponsored from abroad can change the culture and traditional values of one central asian republics. i think we have to start to think globally and we all have to be able to other out and try to get this thing back on track so that means shouldering other people's responsibilities are you ok with that. yes or no we asked people on the streets of new york whether it's a good idea to give greece is that the company another chance. russia won't bend to foreign pressure over its stance on syria according to the emir putin who is defending moscow's recent veto of a u.n. security council resolution of this and other robust points were made by the russian prime minister in the run up to next week's presidential election which opinion polls tip into when jake agrees outlines the key areas. really here he was building upon what he said just a number of days ago and dressing tens of thousands of people in mass to show support for the prime minister war here is a bit of

a snippet of what we might expect if he takes the presidency on the fourth of march with words certainly growing in strength and sharpness as well when dressing international relations in general said that russia won't dance the tune of any other nation major upon three key policy areas one being syria defending russia's role in the un security council and the right to wield the veto he also touched upon that of the missile defense shield a sticking point with the u.s. relations expressing even though every nation has a right to defend itself against any national security threats current policies really plenty of problem of a global security threat he also stressed that the u.s. on this issue of proving quite allusive and not very serious when it comes to negotiating with russia but maintained that russia has enough of an arsenal enough clout to bring the us to negotiations on the issue he also touched upon that of iran and economic sanctions there the uranium enrichment program even though when

the in this area the russia russia and the west have seen some similar ideas they also differ as well and that in the future he says he fears that some of these nonproliferation based economic sanctions may be aimed at toppling the regime in toronto. well the u.s. government is about to declare a new war but this time the enemy is a virtual one a string of attacks on government websites by hakas is just an american policymakers into a state of high and that over so-called terrorist threats some doubt the danger even exists in the foothills. it may seem like a quiet day in america but to some it's the scene of a raging battle invisible to the naked eye while there is war underway right now on the internet this is cyber war is the u.s. ready for a full scale cyber war a question asked at the highest levels of the u.s. government by fears of a new type of w m d a weapon of mass disruption in

a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the f.b.i. warns that those keystrokes could soon be more dangerous to america than terrorism itself the cyber threat or equal or surpass the threat from counterterrorism in the forseeable future a future that's got the world's military superpower preparing for the fight ahead of the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system certainly our grid cyber war cyber pearl harbor frightening language for a hypothetical scenario one that could happen but hasn't yet and some security experts like jim harper warned that it never will there's no chance whatsoever that nuclear power plants will be hacked that electric infrastructure will be hacked and taken down for any significant period of time so the worst we can expect is disruption that's not war it doesn't really terrorize so the threats are serious

but they're not to the level of war or terror yet some of the key leaders in the war on terror are now in the business of cyber war michael chaired off once ran the department of homeland security and he now runs a cyber security. consulting firm you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy and maybe even in terms of loss of life as things were to prepare your search it was more frightening once america's top spy chief mike mcconnell now oversees cyber operations for defense contracting giant where the most vulnerable nation on earth to a cyber attack and anti-terrorism czar richard clarke went from advising presidents on cyber security to publishing books about the coming cyber war for once it would be nice for the united states to be able to get out in front of a catastrophe to be able to prevent that catastrophe we know how to do it we just need to spend the money and the money is flowing the u.s.

government will spend more than ten billion a year on cyber security by two thousand and fifteen you know worldwide market that's estimated at eighty to one hundred forty billion dollars a year the budget there we're releasing today it's one of the few areas where the white house plans to increase spending despite other defense cuts and that some say is the problem is going to be even more tempting for folks in the you know the defense contracting community for example to hype cyber threats because that's one of the few strings that mahdi you know sort of still exists forbes magazine contributor shawn lawson is an expert in cybersecurity it's a classic case of an attempt to sort of motivate a response by rally the troops by appealing to fear uncertainty and inside the beltway fear and uncertainty can lead to big business and big bucks most people don't understand the problems with computer and data security most people in

washington don't understand it specifically most people in congress don't understand therefore the quote unquote beltway bandits are in a position to to create the problem to state the problem and offer their own services as a solution. at battle does rage here invisible to the naked eye a war for money contracts and power to seek out. washington. well you can read more about the prying eyes of american corporations on our website totty dot com find out more stockpiles will soon be at google's disposal usat the web giant's discussion. over the little turbulence helicopter in brazil is something to shake you learn to find out more common the video on a you tube channel. is he.

the official anti allocation your phone oh i pod touch from the. video on demand. and. now in the palm of your. on the dot com. islam is on the rise in many central asian republics in kurdistan which is always branded itself as a secular state religion is starting to play a greater role in everyday life politics and the economy but there are fears that

religious freedom and influences from abroad main factor corrupts the country's traditional values which is the story. it's a mix of religious compliance and teenage defiance ever since fourteen year old one had left the school half a year ago she never misses a chance to walk past it in full muslim dress who was first put out teachers wouldn't let me enter the school with my head covered or where i'm going to buy it so for the past three months that i was studying here i had to find a place to change before classes into secular clothes now i can be what i want to be but that came at a cost in order to live here to the muslim dress code i had had to transfer to an adult learning center with follower educational standards she still wants to get a university degree but if she succeeds she'll be an exception. i personally know many girls who are muslims like myself and who faced with the ban on head cover just had to quit schools altogether and now stay at home. your former school

doesn't require students to wear uniforms in fact rahat says none of her classmates was ever reprimanded for wearing short skirts or low cut tops the school officials are doing their best to draw a veil over this controversy they refused to comment saying only that they have to abide by the school dress code which bans students from covering their had so wearing any other religious symbols while in class this case is quite common for kyrgyzstan a former soviet republic in central asia that over the past decade has witnessed a dramatic rise of a more conservative islam the country of five and a half million people already has around two thousand mosques and the state has little control or even understanding of what is being preached in them. up to eighty percent of new mosques were built through some sort of partnership with arab countries mainly saudi arabia or qatar and they provide more than money the exploit their ideology here we already have politicians calling for the creation of

caliphate as well for she said is this rapid change of cultural and religious norms that war is many of the countries liberals were not a bribe or teachers social scientists of kyrgyzstan the most prestigious university . she says she was a strong supporter of religious freedom until she visited her home village last year. then they lived there we didn't have a mosque now there are three all built by foreign jonas as i was walking past one of the mosques i saw three young women all covered in black i wanted to come up to them and say look around you can t. so much with your life but i held myself back because who might tell the many think a minute later they came up to me and started saying sister don't turn away from allah and that moment i understood that my country has changed it's now a country where i can't tell anyone how to live their life but muslims feel they

can be delivered. we're not of fears that if muslims in kyrgyzstan are given to really just breed them it would be just a matter of time before other basic rights are done away with still she says she would rather have all sorts of had to wear in her classroom than the wreaths students had been filled by the wrong lessons elsewhere and then we aren't see who gets. violent and to us protests spreading from afghanistan into pakistan as people vent their anger of the burning of the qur'an well here this week afghan workers at a u.s. military base discovered several of the muslim holy books in an incinerator. but if you contribute to questions american policies which by contrast protect poppy fields from being burned the way this case of the qur'an disintegration by the u.s. personnel in afghanistan just reminded me of my first encounter with the qur'an in my geed reach happened to me thirty years ago in afghanistan during one of the

successful raids by our team we uncovered a car shake off weapons and this particular copy of the holy koran the decision was made to retrieve and to secure from the potential kinetic encounter between our two opposing forces this sort of forces were burning. in afghanistan while doing their best to save the carcass of g.-d. on the other side within the rules of engagement promulgated by the us policy in afghanistan and pakistan it is still acceptable to desecrate yet again the holy book while at the same time it is strictly forbidden to threat or to burn him poppy fields that's in the essence the main difference if you compare this side of it and american policy and regulations. between the two campaigns in afghanistan. world news in brief for you now this out multiple blasts and

deep trouble. greece is getting another bailout one hundred thirty billion euros is that a good idea this week let's talk about that do you know what's going on in greece right now. you know idea you've got the wrong person greece. got more g.o.p. g.d.p. greece their butts out so what's greece is going to do to us whether they bail or are there save that money matter of foreign is the third largest. g.d.p. in the world i mean got to worry about greece they only got good greek all of i'm from germany and we have a strong. will and the greens have a weak you or and so we should help to give your ok with that you don't feel like there should be responsible for themselves they should be less bond but we should

help them if it was coming directly out of your pocket would you still be in support of the bailout no no doubt in my book. so as long as that other european countries are ok with that but really nice day out i think we have to start to think globally and we all have to build it other out and try to get the same back on track so that means shouldering other people's responsibilities are you ok with that. yes or no you know part of me says you know i work hard i do what i'm supposed to do i've done how my parents raised me and work hard pay my taxes not all those things but if that goes then that affects me and affects my children to whether or not people even know what's going on with the greece bailout the bottom line is it's happening let's see if this one will make a difference. the russian pilots have made a safe landing of a passenger plane minus one set of wheels aircraft was on route from berlin to st
