for the figures out of the thousand about twenty minutes time. thanks for joining us on parents are actually three o'clock here in moscow and syria's turmoil has been laid bare on our t.v. screens for more than a year but some networks are being accused of affecting rather than reflecting a contract worth motional reports now on how there's more of 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 the one take place really lives rafi claude 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 holmes the camera focuses on the city's smaller 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 taken 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. it is on the road as a receiver it's clear it's not an explosion it ignore the people reporting it will be a need to 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 joe bush and good will punish you and talk about his wife or his will again after some

children's leadership 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 his boss is in the heart of the he needed medication he has just resigned because of biased coverage he says were like you know promoting lucian's in. egypt tunisia or whatever but i don't think for example revolution in bahrain and saudi arabia they are just you're a chief in beirut where ali has been working has also quit for the same reason. we started to invite guests from america who only criticize the regime in syria and support the regime in bahrain and persons who just define nato intervention this is unacceptable. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by by experiment but by some new patches like the government by maybe

the west through with words. with mo and not proof emerge in all of the international media is 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 his main focus as prime minister david cameron visits the us london has been washington's main ally in the conflicts but cameron says people now want an end game for the tough talk of the leaders took some time off to watch a game as she 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 in deep 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
7:06 am
now both countries are facing a huge backlash from their joint campaigns topping the agenda is against 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 l.a. 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 there is nation building effort has been a feeler insurgency and the country's rampant afghans clearly want the allied forces out isn't as 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
7:07 am
harry in production in afghanistan grease dramatically in the last ten years of the war there and is now a record level also 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 regard to guide us then or are they just don't tell us the. we're waiting and b. why isn't there going to ship listening was that we have a saying here you know opinion polls show more than sixty percent of americans want their troops out of again and they want them out now so with this in mind it's going to be very hard for mr cameron and president obama to pay to try their on the
7:08 am
back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. a roadside bomb has killed eight people in southern afghanistan when it struck the vehicle they were traveling in that's as u.s. defense secretary leon panetta arrives in the country on an unannounced visit he's due to meet president karzai and u.s. troops investigative journalists solve says that despite all efforts to normalize relations u.s. soldiers his war crimes i mean the campaign is doomed. they will be trying to manage that i think is committing a crime 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 we just feel that the whole kind of moral case for the war has collapsed i've been trying to tiptoe away from the afghan war for a while i mean. remember it's you know it's over ten years now and we've had so
7:09 am
many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the. diplomatic surge is troop surges all these things have failed and you just feel that there was this this attempt just to really quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here that. incidents like this i think have just blown that completely but the reason they went in was to destroy al qaeda and osama bin laden who 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 will 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 and so i had feel r.t. i forget the debt here's what you rule makers are really in a flap about. ground chicken cages are forcing farmers to
7:10 am
shell out for expensive had houses of but not all are playing fair. iran has dismissed remarks by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it may be trying to erase that ends of explosives tests from a key military site for her own promise to allow the into the facility which the agency suspects is being used for nuclear weapons research israel meanwhile isn't backing down from its threat of attack we are reports that's not striking a chord with the people. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel but the government refuses to listen there's no logic in accepting iran but we have a government that bans illogical things and that's really frightening and while most experts agree israel is far from having the capability to attack iran is review officials keep in think a strike could be imminent the million dollar question like now is whether or not
7:11 am
it's all will go it alone it could call on its closest ally the united states for hope that washington's making a lot of noise not to strike i don't think there's a possibility that israel will say. firm america before we strike and the best i would say. we don't expect agree. we can say it was probably. relations between israeli and american leaders are tense but of parma demanding an end to the loose talk of war coming out of little ne government i would not buy any say that. you know. work is wrong. the u.s. government. cannot. be is really in design you know what.
7:12 am
you know 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 they do with woman and report namely. closing the straits of. stopping the flow of oil from the gulf. and the renewable. we are not going to reopen. the flow of oil. a franking iran. in spite of american explicit objection would certainly. relations with the united states. even break them all together and in the long run that might be a gamble even more dangerous then taking on iran. tel aviv. and
7:13 am
later we hear a penny on why the approach the us and its allies are taking towards iran and its nuclear ambitions has been wrong all along. it's not only naive but it's illogical it's naive because the policy of force has clearly failed the 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 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 w m d 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
7:14 am
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 an oppressive recognition of iran's status as a regional superpower. catskill interview with british m.p. john baron and hours time here on our city. clowes described israel as its enemy number one saying it will revise all relations and agreements with salivate and a protest against israel's attacks on gaza gyptian m.p.'s have also voted to expel the country's ambassador and start gas exports a former israeli envoy 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 egypt as a stable country in the last and this is very very important now that when you see
7:15 am
that there is no stability almost 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 going. to be easy suffer in the next thousand years i mean something is really wrong and we hope to do once the transitional period be finished will be elected a new president everything would be changed in relations to come to the right road the right way because israel is no conflict with egypt you have sold. through the peace treaty so why going back and attacking israel but 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. and there's more video analysis at r.t. dot com a quick look at some of the stories they're free right now. president

countries but michelle is one of the lucky ones he shelled out more than three million euros to build the new cages how was i going to do it was easy once i was i'm not so i think it was around seven or six. i think that it's. actually i do not i they also now have to be trained to lay eggs in a special nest which isn't exactly easy cases like this but with really bringing an aid. to the issues extend beyond 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
7:22 am
more than tripled since january a level not seen since the two thousand and three avian 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. by down in the meantime these cheaper illegal eggs could still make their way on to the market much to the dismay of more and bt and member states in our country they spend four hundred million pounds of money. that legal and of course they've been very very worried when they look across the english channel and they see i think it's if you mean the bird. studio in the thank you kate with the review course but coming up that is what british producers are so

obsessed. with that used to disobey the law. a law that has ruffled more than a few feathers in the industry but at least some could go about their business slightly happier. this or cilia artsy brussels. paris financial woes have been causing world markets to fluctuate later peter lavelle and his cross style cast are paid whether more or fewer regulations well make for healthier stock exchanges. but we've got the nightmare coming up because everybody's going to be potentially in danger of wearing an orange jumpsuit because they 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 a halt because actually i think arnold said it best first of all you can't be extreme you can't have total regulation because that stalin ism and those markets didn't work terribly well and you come to a complete ought not capitalism which admittedly we've never really seen in the world but i suppose you could argue happened during the industrial revolution
7:24 am
because that's going to be a mess my argument is as a practitioner we need pragmatism and not mean simplicity and the problem is as we do on and on and on and every time there seems to be a question we out another degree of complexity to the regulation it's not going to work if you zoom the regulators have godlike powers and absolutely give them total authority the problem is they don't and so there's there are two cases for simplicity and regulation one is that it's better for markets but the other is that it's better for regulators to just play within their game so to speak and so on consumer product safety regulation you just need some simple principles of not selling products in appropriately to people not fooling people and. not selling them products that they have no chance of benefiting from. much crosstalk in ten minutes here on our. now it's time for the latest

business update katie's keeping us well informed through the day hello there katie so are the russian markets still doing well this hour but you know ok and that's right they are doing well today actually this do remain in positive territory and that's despite the sas but we have seen capital outflow reach eleven billion dollars this month we've not seen figures like that since two thousand and eight when there was of course the financial crisis having said that in january we saw figures of seventeen billion dollars so you could say things are going to be out of it but it's still a massive. look at the numbers that they can show you as i said they are doing rather well today but the my stakes up a cent if we look at the individual shares we can see that up so bass is one of the biggest gainers and that's largely because one of their shareholders. has said that they're going to increase their state to a controlling one's investors are obviously quite optimistic about that we've got
7:26 am
comes from as well they're going to increase their gas production by the wreaths and this year also luke all they've been saying that they're going to increase that that oil output by half by twenty twenty one cents for us a lot of oil we're talking about that's going to europe and see how they're fairing now banking stocks are pulling the market figures that we got credit suisse barclay's and leading the pack now as we consider the u.s. markets yesterday they were particularly strong and it was banking stocks that were doing well now we have the stress test in america yesterday and we saw fifteen out of nineteen banks cost also one of the ones that failed one of the biggest ones were sixty eight but as far as investors are concerned they're quite optimistic now these tests all about put in the banks through their paces to see if they can withstand another crisis so as you can see investors opposed to the fall but if you look at the mass that figure just that i can tell you it's about three thousand for the first time left in years that just gives you a bit of perspective in school. as to how much for big balls there's going to be.
7:27 am
despite the international energy agency cutting their forecast the supplies we can see that war prices are indeed down at this hour so they could be increasing in the short term certainly to keep an eye on that and they of course have a direct effect on the russian markets occurrences the toll is rising against the euro. and the ruble is high against both of. you you're right. i do believe that so we've got time for for this hour to join me in about fifty five minutes it will be back to the rest of the business r.t.t. with more market figures.
