footage fiction in syria guitar's al jazeera t.v. channel is accused of twisting of guns and staging shots to shape the opinions there after. the ball's in their court as britain as america's leaders get together to discuss getting out of afghanistan. around brushes off claims by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it's trying to erase evidence of explosives testing at a key military site but israel's threats of attack is still stand.

for joining us this wednesday to o'clock here in moscow on charon taraji syria's turmoil has been laid bare on our t.v. screens for more than a year some networks are being accused of affecting rather than reflecting the conflict various emotional reports now on how there's more to the coverage on the qatari owned al-jazeera t.v. channel that meets the. 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 they want to take the syrian lives rafi cloth 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 homs the 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 with. the receiver it's clear it's not an explosion it ignores the people reporting it to a very neatly syrian city and in another video from a hospital in homes someone behind camera talks to a doctor in the corner we see little now. joe bush our good will punish you and talk about his words. again after some thirty minutes awaiting the crew starts to get nervous. maybe we know we need al-jazeera while live on al-jazeera eventually the girl will forget some details. to 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 buildings can take a good reason why. he did it could be two hundred get there in the last hour or two . two hundred dead love reality. in the pit. we got the big deal. here could be to become james extraordinary patience as hard as possible. to produce but not everyone is happy about it well known war correspondents are used to report to al-jazeera from the world's conflict hot spots but syria has become the rubicon he couldn't cross he mentions armed groups fighting against assad's army and his bosses and doha told him he needed a vacation he has just resigned because of biased coverage he says that's right

you know promoting. egypt tunisia whatever for example the revolution in bahrain and saudi arabia they entered the ritchie from beirut where ali has been working has also quit for same reason. we started to invite guests from americans who only criticize the regime in syria and support the regime and and persons who justify nato intervention this is unacceptable. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by experiment by some local actually likes of the government by the media the west through this world. with no and not proof emergence of the international media as involvement in the arab spring revolutions the question remains open to what extent do they influence events and how much responsibility do they therefore share what follows. r t beirut lebanon.

bringing the war in afghanistan to a close is the american and british leaders main focus as prime minister david cameron visits the us london has been washington's main ally in the conflict but cameron says people now want an end game before the tough talk the leaders took some time off to watch a game as going at it you can reports. 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 the two nations have been allies with 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 galveston 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 and we 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 only say becomes increasingly clear that their nation building effort has been a failure insurgency in the country's rampant afghans clearly want the allied forces out is events 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 carrying production in afghanistan is increased dramatically in the last ten years of the war there and is now a record level so part of the money from its sales effectively goes to support terror around the globe by the way the first country to fall victim to the rampant opium production in afghanistan is russia and it's 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 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 most often with bartlett going to send all our aid just don't tell us the. we're winning and the why isn't going to be listening what do we have to say here no opinion poll showed 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 compared to other on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. u.s. defense secretary leon panetta has arrived in afghanistan on an unannounced visit he's stupid meet president karzai as well as u.s. troops stationed there investigative journalist simon isaf says that despite all

efforts to normalize relations u.s. soldiers as war crimes means the campaign is doomed. they will be trying to manage what i think is going to describe as 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 we just feel that the whole kind of moral case for the war has collapsed have been trying to keep joe away from the afghan war for a while i mean. remember it's all you know it's over ten years now and we've had so many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the surge is the magic so just troop surges all these things have failed and you just feel that there is this this is just to leave quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here but it's an inside this that if you've just flown out completely but the reason they went in was to destroy al qaeda and osama

bin laden 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 the point to say well i 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 losses of their own fate. so i have for you on r t a forget the dead here's what you rule makers are really and a flop about. crowned chicken cages are bans of forcing farmers to shell out for expensive hand houses but not all are playing fair. iran has dismissed remarks by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it may be trying to erase evidence of explosive test from a key military site promise to allow the i.a.e.a. into the parish facility which the agency suspects is being used for nuclear

weapons research israel meanwhile isn't backing down from its threat of attack but polis lir reports that's not striking a chord with the people. but. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel that the government refuses to listen there's no logic in attacking iran but we have a government that plans 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 why now is whether or not it's or would go it alone it could call on its closest ally the united states for hope but washington is making a lot of noise not to strike a good think of is a possibility that israel will say. we.

affirm america before we strike and the best i would say. we don't think spoke the green light. we can say it was probably a little. relations between israeli and american leaders are tense but of drama demanding an end to the loose talk of war coming out of little yahoo's government not buying me say that. you know. your work is rough surf on. the u.s. car. character here is really in. you know where. you are. in a war and while no israeli official has gone so fast to confirm an attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such political moves very well. put namely. closing the straits of.

stopping the flow of oil in the gulf. we are not going to reopen. the the flow of oil. franking 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 policy r.t. tel aviv. and later we hear opinion on why the approach the us and its allies are taking towards iran and its nuclear ambitions as been wrong a lot. 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 the 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 a 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 an offer of an oppressive regulation of iran state as a regional superpower. we can

catch the full interview with british m.p. john baron just a little over fifteen minutes time here on our. egypt has described israel as its enemy number one saying it will revise all relations and agreements with televisa and a protest against israel's attacks on gaza gyptian m.p.'s have also go to to expel the country's ambassador and stop gas exports a former israeli our boy to egypt blames the vote on the arab country being in a state of flux since the revolution their first let us start with president mubarak he kept is used as a stable country in the last and this is very very important now that when you see that there is no stability and was a disaster for the country if a parliament of a great country like egypt is through such a statement something is wrong in this parliament you see because if we are the main and if egypt is really is a sufi the next thousand years i mean something is really wrong and we hope that

there once the transitional period will be finished there will be elected the new president everything would be changed in relation to come to the right road to right away because israel is no coffee to egypt you have sold all of egypt through the peace treaty so why are you going back and attacking israel but you know it comes from the muslim brothers they're not the majority it's a problem it's a problem for israel's of all of egypt but this is the reality. there's more video and analysis at r t a quick look at some of the stories there for you right now. great move her prayer is to hand over yet another citizen to america they enter that file swapping students is the latest target of extradition laws about are supposed to tackle terrorism. and deep into the unknown a russian plans to boldly explore the solar system with research centers on mars

and now it's time for all alone as business news katie has got the latest for us katie what is the latest on the markets well the latest karen at the moment is capital we mentioned a lot and as far as the russian markets is always a dominant now at the moment with saying eleven billion dollars leaving the country in terms of a monthly right and that's the highest figure seen since two thousand and eight during the financial crisis so it it is a concern but it's having said that in january we saw rates seventeen billion dollars so it's particularly high note was made he said recently reelected as we know has said that he's going to address this problem but at the moment we can see companies and businesses are holding back let's see what the figures are doing at the my about the my stocks. still remaining posted. by exactly the same amount as you can see is going to good day for us in markets let's see how the

stocks are performing which ones have benefits so vast that one of the main ones that as you can see over sixty percent i must also be because one of their shareholders. has said that they're going to increase their states are controlling was last benefiting. from is still gaining they're planning to increase their gas production by three percent now over in europe they're still trading business at the moment and also benefiting from that positive finish that we saw in wall street and interestingly is the banking stocks that are leading the gang there we've got credit suisse and barclays pits. hey cleve well i mentioned the us are going to have a look at how they finished up because they said the president's the first today actually it's a strong day for them because so many indicators coming out we had strong retail sales it was a ninety saying that he's going to see growth in the next few quarters of positive sentiment but we've also got the fact that fifteen out of nineteen banks manage to pass a stress test these have been put into play to put the banks through their paces in

case there is another financial crisis fifteen hours of mind is a brilliant but it's not bad and investors are demonstrating that they are indeed pleased by that our oil all at the moment is dropping that's a largely because we've had comments from opec ministers recently. minister saying that they will be able to keep up with the supplies there was a spike earlier on in all prices because of the overriding involved. in july so that was causing prices to head on into the black canal is to the purposes for this hour and so we've got the year right it is indeed the dollar rising against the euro and that's because of comments that we're not going to see quantity of easing just yet he didn't give us any clues on that right now the dollar is indeed rising against the euro group or is makes the main currencies we can see it's lower against the greenback and higher against the year right now as far as a russian billionaires are concerned they are not very happy at school. because of

this robin hood tax now they are not happy they want to keep hold of their billions and there was a meeting yesterday in moscow where they were up in arms about this and she was saying it was rather sorry. it's revolutions like nineteen seventeen the hype of when you put social clauses against each other so i could serve warm bridge street billionaires don't like the luxury tax and they found billions of loopholes won't work the children expensive calls brings in peanuts a tax on looks free housing soviet pension as with most flats and anyway bureaucrats will steal any earnings they claim is that of threatening tycoons with new problems says derry joint. chief. tax then a mystique to all those who bring their own least or dishonest wealth but from a brawl in one thousand seven thousand. it was no wisdom to.
