polling stations because they think they should be explosions and bombings and terror attacks there the interior minister has said that fourteen thousand polling stations have been set up for this referendum and about fifteen million people have the right to come and vote but it's very hard right now to predict how many will actually come. friends among the reaction as he's been hearing is that western powers don't want him diplomatic solution to syria because assad crossed them determined to see him out of the office. the policy of the worst now is not about a negotiated settlement it's not reaching progress the reforms that were being talked about and it's about regime change because from the point of view of the worst. has been nothing to do with human rights and nothing to do with reform between to do with pursuing a long. in that is truly independent of the law in that is it to be imposed on the

entire middle east if it was a boat human rights on reforms then people would be interested in engagement because it's quite clear from everybody that there's been violence of violent situation in do you look at a national civil war if you're sincere about wanting to avoid a potential civil war then you wouldn't go into action you do have one potential side in that civil war as an alternative government in exile and in effect incite a push towards for regime change even by virus you respond to the diplomatic signals that are coming out when you try to pursue a peaceful solution it's quite obvious that washington and london are a present not interested in that negotiated solution and of course we do value your opinion you're invited to cast your vote on our web site r.t. dot com where we're asking you what do you think the constitutional referendum will mean for syria while the majority of you are saying that it will hardly change

iran is building an atomic bomb but iran insists it's only seeking a peaceful and interest supply the u.s. and its allies have been imposing tough economic sanctions while israel has even threatened the military action against iran's nuclear sites but it's being reported that america's intelligence community has doubts about the new allegations and on her own and then a columnist at foreign policy in focus magazine says the west going to send over iran's nuclear program is merely a pretext to take control of its vast energy resources. i think the nuclear bomb is really in many ways a smokescreen this is not about nuclear weapons if along were to use a nuclear weapon safe or against israel it would be an act of national suicide i think this has a lot more to do with the politics of the middle east and the politics of the control of energy resources of the nineteen seventy nine revolution in iran essentially remove the second largest oil resources and the third largest natural gas resources from direct control by western oil and gas companies and essentially

made it independent now the west would love to get those resources barack and they would love to also not have that kind of independent force in the middle east. thousands of students in spain have again staged a protest in valencia against a planned educational cuts this week the police were accused of heavy handedness when similar demonstrations and did in clashes and our correspondent sara perth reports now from the east coast city. i think down the line in the spring and you can see. thousands of people. in. education a. little . bit of the job of.

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 interest secular clothes now i can be what i want to be well but that came at a cost in order to have here today muslim dress code i have 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 here for our school doesn't require students to wear uniforms in fact your heart says none of your 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 the 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 sell your arabia or qatar and they provide more than money for work the exploit their ideology here we already have politicians calling for the creation of caliphate. 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 kyrgyzstan's most prestigious university. she says she was

a strong supporter of religious freedom until she visited her home village last year. and 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 and i saw three young women all covered in black i wanted to come up to them and say look around you can do so much with your life but i held myself back because who might tell them anything can a minute later they came up to me and started saying don't turn away from the border 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 go vigil of what we're not of fears that if muslims in kurdistan are given full really just freedom it would be just a matter of time before other basic rights are done away with the still she says she would rather have all sorts of headwear in her classroom than the risk students had being filled by the wrong lessons elsewhere it's not going to artsy kurdistan.

the world's biggest ever debts was on the way as greece scrambles to get its desperate find ourselves back on track and bondholders will lose out to the tune of at least one hundred billion euros gets the view from the street now to ask how deeply we should dig to save a nation of debts trouble. greece is getting another bailout one hundred and 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 got the wrong person do you think a lot of people know what's going on in greece no greece it all iowa got more g.o.p. g.d.p. then then greece their butts out so what's greece is going to do to us i mean whether they can bail or they're 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 all of the greek all of i'm from germany and we have a strong. will and the greens have a weak you all 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 let's. hope that 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 it but it's really nice day out i mean they will tell you to have enough time as it is without having to bail out another country so i think we have to start to think globally and we all have to believe 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 and all those things

but if that goes then that affects me and affects my children too so sometimes not to quote hillary clinton but i guess it does take a village the bailout with the u.s. car industry sort of had an ok ending and i was skeptical about that so i don't know i don't think i am quick to really say actually that's a good exam. because you hear bellow it might sound like you're getting something for nothing but it's an example of one that worked so maybe this will work whether it's a stepping into a european union or whether it's going to be someplace in asia steps in public china china all of us in them so is that a good thing i mean maybe that we're all globally tied and we see these kinds of situations arise with the global economy and good progression it was a natural progression it's not as if anyone could stop it when you have free trade where would i mean it's going to happen this way more interdependent countries at this point 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 it different. after where we'll have at times to count several u.s. federal websites officials have been quick to point out there's a new terror battlefront that's aimed that they were from deja exposer is that they are threats being blown out of proportion by those making big bucks by playing on people's digital distress there's a cover of has a story. 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 well there is a war underway right now on the internet this is private war is the u.s. ready for a full scale cyber war a question asked at the highest levels of the us 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 warn that it never will 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 maybe even in terms of loss of life as things we typically your service here with more friend 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 that 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 it's 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 money 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 i have healing 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
