thousand and eight find out why whitney in twenty minutes time. on air and online twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. syria's turmoil has been laid bare a lot of the screens for more than a year but some networks are being accused of affecting rather than reflecting the conflict real financial reports now on well there's a lot of the coverage on the qatari and al-jazeera t.v. channel than meets the eye. clashes in the streets of syria have been raging for a year now but behind the scenes there is a media war that's just as damaging as the one taking israeli lives people off freelance investigative journalist from damascus says he's found what he thinks is proof of media manipulation of the conflict in syria and this video from the syrian

town of homes a camera focuses on the city's all the refinery the shooting begins seven hours before media viewers around the world see a pipeline explosion allegedly caused by assad's army bombardment you can clearly see that something is slowly burning in the distance when the smoke has thickened english speakers correct their cameras position for a better shot of what's going on they shake it to make it look like amateur video. receiver it's clear it's not an explosion. people are reporting it we. see in another video from a hospital in homes someone behind camera talks to a doctor in the corner we see little now. if you kill bush and good will punish you and talk about his work ok let's recusal again after some thirty minutes away to the crew starts to get nervous let's go

a little bit wait you know we need to. live on al-jazeera eventually a girl will forget some details. an issue be sure and your children in this footage we see danny holmes activist known for his exclusive reports from the very epicenter of the conflict history pairing to go live on c.n.n. and there is no shooting until he asks for it. what shall i say tell her she believes can reach a conclusion that. there could be two hundred get dead europe in the last hour or killed. we are two hundred three hours. from now we got the big deal for you. to become journalists trying to make. progress. but not everyone is happy about it well known war correspondents are used

to report. from the world's conflict hot spots syria has become the rubicon they couldn't cross he mentioned armed groups fighting against assad's army his bosses and felt he needed medication he has just resigned because of coverage he says. you know from. egypt. for example revolution in bahrain and saudi arabia chief in beirut where ali has been working has also quit same reason which we started by guests from america who only criticize the regime in syria and support the regime in bahrain and persons who just apply nato intervention this is unacceptable this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by. the. government by maybe the west throughout the through of this war. with no and look proof amergin all of the international media

is involved in the arab spring revolutions the question remains open to what extent they influence events and how much responsibility do they therefore share for what follows. r t beirut lebanon. bringing the war in afghanistan so close is the american and british leaders main focus is prime minister david cameron if this is the us london has been washington's main ally in the conflict cameron says people now want an end game. tough talk took some time off to watch a game. president obama took the british prime minister to a basketball game in ohio as the white house said to underscore the special relationship between the two allies especially indeed the two nations have been t.l. allies for many years with the u.k. supporting all america's wars including the iraq war that was started on lies and now both countries are facing

a huge backlash from their joint campaigns topping the agenda is of ghana's them especially in the wake of the tragedy that happened there over the weekend when a u.s. soldier apparently murdered sixteen innocent afghans in cold blood including women and children analysts say the incident is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems that the allied forces mission faces in afghanistan a basketball court is probably not the most appropriate venue to discuss those very serious matters at hand but the two leaders will surely have more to say as the u.k. prime minister's visit to the united states continues the u.s. and the u.k. are the main contributors to the war in afghanistan and as the two countries are trying to coordinate a timetable for withdrawal and elise a becomes increasingly clear that their nation building effort has been a few their insurgency and the country's rampant afghans clearly want the allied forces out incidents like the latest murder of innocent civilians are used by all kinds of extremists to recruit even more people to their ranks opium poppy and heroin production in afghanistan is increased dramatically in the last ten years of

the war there and is now a record level also in part of the money from its sales effectively goes to support carol around the globe by the way the first country to fall victim to the rampant opium production in afghanistan is russia is watching very nervously and with huge concern at what the allied forces are doing there because their actions directly affect russia's national security what's interesting here in america even the mainstream media have been generally supportive of the war so it's not to say trigger happy have started echoing what most people say here in the united states and the thoughts almost please that you hear of most often was the bar for guidance then or they just don't tell us the. we're waiting and b. why isn't going to ship listening twice that we have to say here no opinion polls show more than sixty percent of americans want their troops out of afghanistan and they want them out now so with this in mind it's going to be very hard for mr cameron and president obama prepare to chatter on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the country. as u.s.

defense secretary leon panetta has arrived in afghanistan on an unannounced visit he's due to meet president karzai as well as u.s. troops stationed there jessica to journalists such since the start of the efforts to normalize relations u.s. soldiers war crimes mean the campaigns didn't they will be trying to manage what i think is a misquote is a moral collapse of the of the occupation we have to remember that poor obama who opposed the war in iraq the afghan war was the good war so this latest incident following the burning of the korans that happened quite recently you just feel that the whole kind of moral case for the war has collapsed i've been trying to tiptoe away from. remember this you know it's over ten years now and we've had so many promises so many lies at the end of the tunnel and so on the surges that dramatic surges troop surges all these things have failed and you

just feel that there is a this a can just to. quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here that it's an insider's view of just really that the reason they went in was to destroy. some of that love was across the border in pakistan so then it became a war against the taliban and then a war against the afghan people and so now at the end of all this horrific process we turn to a point to say well actually need to sit down and talk to the taliban these are not foreigners these are afghans and they represent something inside the country in the end the truth is that they are going to have to be the masters of their own fate so they had few r.t.e. forget that their tears what he'll rule makers are really about crimes chicken cages a bad person goes to shell out for expensive houses all playing fair. iran has dismissed remarks by the u.n.

nuclear watchdog that it may be trying to remove evidence of explosives tests from a key military side tehran promised to allow other a partial to something which the agency suspects is being used for nuclear weapons research israel meanwhile isn't backing down from its attack as the reports that's not striking a chord with people. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel but the government refuses to listen there's no logic in attacking iran but we have a government that illogical things and that's really frightening and while most experts agree israel is far from having the capability to attack iran israeli officials keep hinting a striking could be imminent the million dollar question like now is whether or not it's all would go it alone it could call on its closest ally the united states for hope that washington is making a lot of noise not to strike i don't think there's

a possibility that. we need. an affirmative american before we strike. we don't expect a green light but we can say it was probably a little. foolishness between israeli and american leaders our chains are demanding an end to loose talk of war coming out of little yorkies government i would not buy . this rough surf on the u.s. government. can write your ideas abuse really impresario you know one of us. you know war and well no israeli official has gone so fast to confirm an attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such political moves will be

very very. broad namely. closing the straits of. stopping the flow of oil from the gulf. we are not going to reopen. the flow of oil. iran. in spite of american and explicit objection would certainly. relations with the united states might. even break them all together and in the long run that might be a gamble even more dangerous then taking on iran's. r.t. . later we hear opinion on why the approach the us and its allies are taking towards iran on its nuclear ambitions has been rather low. it's not only

naive but it's illogical it's naive because the policy of force has clearly failed policy of saber rattling and sanctions has not worked they are yesterday's promises and we've got to look back and realize that the nuclear program has been a stated objective of the iranian state for quite a while we're going back decades they see it as a means of expressing their power within the region state this is important in the region we underestimate the importance of status in the region the reason saddam hussein for example did not deny the existence of puppy wendy is because it was in his interest not to do so so i think you have to be realistic the present policy is a failed the present policy is a heightening tensions what we want is now to pull back from any chance of military conflict and take a fresh look at the situation and adopt a fresh approach which i think should include an implicit recognition or at least the offer of a new present recognition of the translators as

a regional superpower. but i you can catch the full interview with british a page on barack and our strike here nazi. egypt has described israel as its enemy number one say they would revise all relations and agreements hotel of it in a protest against israel's attacks on gaza peace of all servants and to expel the country's ambassador and stop gas exports and a former israeli envoy to egypt blames that on that country being in a state of flux since the revolution their first let us start with president mubarak he kept egypt as a stable country in the last thirty this is very very important now that when you see that there is no stability it's almost a disaster for the country if a parliament of a great country like egypt proves such a statement something is wrong in this parliament because if we are the main and if

egypt is really is it could suffer in the next thousand years i mean something is really wrong and we hope that the once the transitional period would be finished there would be elected a new president everything would be changed and relations will come to the right road the right way because israel is no coffee to egypt we have sold all out conflict with egypt through the peace treaty so why going back and attacking israel well i know it comes from the muslim brothers they're now the majority it's a problem it's a problem for israel's a problem for egypt but this is the reality. well there's more video that's artie dot com ok look at some of the stories there if you're right no written protest a hundred vs another citizen to america internet while stuck in student is the latest on extradition laws it was designed to tackle terrorism. and deep into the unknown with russia plans to boldly explore the solar system that was said

given the leeway on the smaller deficit of brussels red tape isn't expected to grow and he's already hitting the region's struggling farmers and also the reports. there is much ado about these feathered creatures. on january first of this year the european commission's welfare of laying hens directive that the use of battery cages like this and now requires at least seven hundred fifty square centimeters of cage per head. and. they look at it a mobile investment to make they will say no thank you i will not work the rest of my life and they did i think so some and it's a good medium and small and stoped completely and produce a. another welcome scenario and already crisis hit e.u. countries but michele is one of the lucky ones he shelled out more than three

million euros to build the new cages i was at which was easy because i was i'm not so i. think i was around better. then stuff. wasn't i was. i they also now have to be trained to lay eggs in a special nest which isn't exactly easy for the all creators of this world that would really bring an eight. but the issues extend beyond that these cages manufacturers in france for example have called for urgent help after several farms were forced to stop production for failing to comply with the rules and that drove prices up by as much as seventy five percent in just four months in belgium union say prices of more than tripled since january

a level not seen since the two thousand free agent flu outbreak and while there's all the ruckus about having to follow new rules in fact farms and thirteen countries including belgium and france still haven't complied the e.u. commission has launched infringement procedures against the states which could go all the way to the european court of justice if needed the fact that we have taken the procedure is a clear sign of the commission will not back down in the meantime these cheaper illegal eggs could still make their way on to the market much to the dismay of more ability and member states in our country they spend four hundred million pounds of drug money getting their. systems legal and of course they've been very very worried when they look across the english channel and they see eye to eye with which it's needed. stupid the old illegal banks replete with there will be to close but coming up that is what british producers are so upset about it that people pay

us to disobey the law. a law that has ruffled more than a few feathers in the industry but at least some can go about their business slightly happier. this or cilia artsy brussels. europe's financial woes having causing world markets to fluctuate later than his crosstalk guests. or fewer regulations will make the health system exchanges. we've nightmare coming up because everybody's going to be potentially in danger of wearing an orange jumpsuit because we won't know what they're able to do and if we don't have any markets whatsoever then reasonable commerce is going to come to your hold because actually i think i will said it best first of all you can't be extreme you can't of total regulation because that stalin ism and those markets didn't work terribly well and you can't have complete are not capitalism which admittedly we've never really seen in the world but i suppose you could argue happened during the industrial revolution because that's going to be a mess my argument is as

a practitioner we need pragmatism and that means simplicity and the problem is as we go on and on and on and every time there seems to be a question we have another degree of complexity to the regulation it's not going to work if you zoom the regulators have god like powers and absolutely give them cold war thore the problem is they don't consumer products safety regulation you just need some simple principles of selling products inappropriately to people not fooling people and. not solving them products that have no chance of getting from. very much crosstalk in the ten minutes time. it's of course over to the business hi katie i understand the russian markets are open so was the latest yeah you're exactly right there they are now in their second hour trade kerry they are indeed are it's been a positive day so far and it is been

a positive we catch here they've opened up in the black every day so far i can tell you though as far as how the outflow is concerned a big topic when it comes to the russian markets we're now seeing less than a billion dollars that's the rates that it's a reach and as far as that monthly rate is concerned that's the biggest rate we've seen since two thousand and eight when we have the financial crisis so yes it is a concern but a lot of this is believed to be because big companies are big business there is a whole. back to see if the newly elected of last day putin will inforce the measures that he said he would do so in his mandate so they're just holding back for now that's why we've got the outflows at the current levels but let's see the figures for this hour are as i was saying second things are still looking good for both the artist in the eyes it's the around the same the same amount for analyse how the individual stocks they get to go on. russia's second largest lender no they've just begun accepting applications for that from the shareholders for

their buyback scheme not happening at this weight we're talking big money we're talking four hundred thirty nine million dollars that are talking about luko as you can see they've also got a green arrow that they announced this week that they're going to be boosting their investments in a rocky filled to two billion dollars i suppose that gazprom as well they're going to be increasing their gas production by three percent this year so that's how the stock's done you can see how the us got on yesterday because they serve the president ready for the rest of the stock markets it was a strong day for them and that was largely because the federal reserve chairman he didn't give any indications as to quantify how about interest rates are going to be kept out i love you so investors seem to be quite positive in that region i can tell you that was stress test result and out of all the banks fifteen out of

nineteen cost not a lot of brilliant results why you need to have to tell you that it was the banking stocks that did take killie well interestingly also we had some strong retail sols that they were positive as well and also if you look at the nasdaq number just there's over three thousand mark and that's that was for the first time in over eleven years. ok let's move on and see how i got on as i say they were benefiting from those of us results the nikkei. they finished up. late is still trading right now they have lost some traction but they still remain in positive territory if we take a look at oil oil will be so lightly in the red as you can see. down the u.s. has had some assurances from saudi arabia the united arab emirates i'm. sure and says they haven't confirmed that the us have said that confident that they will indeed do that cars is

a dollar is high ok it's the year right now the ruble is stronger. and i can also tell you that pretty soon as hit in russia are not best pleased. because they are fearing at the robin hood tax which they say is going to cause some social strife and those are actually a meeting in moscow where apparently by all accounts israel the fire rate is full of tycoons and little buzz phrase the new push was. revolutions like nineteen seventeen but when you close these against each other sort of wall. street billionaires don't like the luxury tax and they found billions of loopholes . a trial judge expensive cars brings in peanuts look three posing soviet pensioners with more flats and the way corrupt bureaucrats. instead of returning to new problems they rejoin.

the only speak to those who bring their own least. foot from abroad. it was no wisdom. he would be actually. selection. if you truly. take stacks. but i make a mistake for it but i would like to be clear as in. the old there kid still sore the money with a with the help of round the world they should bring it here is they should pay once upon a time tax leaves they will pay so much ten percent it will be more money otherwise people will be so much pleaded to them they were going to keep a sense of bones and poise distinct types is under constant threats of you all but

three charges is one just one of the four hundred private jets owned by russians all bridges did in this country the rich propose the complete opposite to get the government all fair but. the new of us know that i'll be back in fifty five minutes trying to. cool. this respectable british gentleman's.
