eleven billion the goal is leaving the country in february more on this in twenty minutes. thanks for being with us this wednesday five o'clock here in moscow and as the conflict and syria rages on media spin doctors are fighting their own bout to shape public opinion on the crisis their efforts are made easier by unconfirmed and sometimes contradictory reports on footage from the conflict zone but the zeal of one channel al-jazeera has already forced several key members of its staff to resign in protest in the ocean or as more. 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 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 phones 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. receiver it's clear it's not an explosion the big moving people reporting it to a very new d.c. was in another video from a hospital in homes someone behind camera talks to a doctor in the corner we see a little nap. if you kill bashar good will punish you and talk

about his wife. again after some thirty minutes away taking the crew starts to get nervous and let's go maybe the whole raid no we need al-jazeera wildlife on al-jazeera eventually the girl will forget some details. called punish you wish your and your children in this footage we see danny holmes activist known for his exclusive reports from the very epicenter of the conflict history carry him to go live on c.n.n. he's relaxed and calm. and there is no shooting until he asks for it. it's a digital easy target. no worries just an. so we should assume the whole deal. tell the russian buildings collapsed and we're taking bodies right. there could be two hundred get there just in the last hour or

. two hundred dead in love reality the first. thing the feds can never. do for you to see activity become journalists try to make a chaise which comes close. to the price but not everyone is happy about it well known war correspondents russian history report for al-jazeera from the world's conflicts hot spots but syria has become the rubicon it couldn't cross dimensions armed groups fighting against assad's army his boss is a the heart felt he needed avocation he has just resigned because of biased coverage he says were like you know promoting the revolutions in libya syria. egypt tunisia whatever for example the revolution in bahrain and saudi arabia the engineer a chief in beirut where ali has been working has also quit of 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 justify nato intervention this is unacceptable. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by external power by some of the governments by maybe the west if you will this force. with law and not proof the notion of the international media is involved in the arab spring revolutions the question remains open to what extent do they influence in france and how much responsibility do they therefore share for what follows. te beirut lebanon. for more on the overall situation in syria we're joined now by a brussels based international consultant a load of mr brown nosed syrian rebels have just suffered another setback are government forces on the way to outright victory and will that end of the uprising

no i don't i don't think you can say it right now what it will. reduce is a major setback produced parts of the opposition. and violent overthrow of the regime that is clear but this is not the end of the opposition it's it's wrong to talk about the opposition in syria there are also opposition forces who want a democratic regime after us who want to negotiate. against military intervention this is not good for them. for doing who have chosen the violent way. last year and libya nato stepped in with airstrikes against colonel gadhafi just as his forces were closing in on the last rebel strongholds turning the tide entirely against him do you think the same could happen in syria. well of course first of all we do not know what would have happened if it would not have interfered at that

point in time in libya we don't know that but certainly the situation in syria is that from one major reason that's the veto power that russia and china gave and gives with some time ago this is a situation quite different from a number of these came as a consequence of what western countries a major did after the regime was voted on libya so the situation is different whether that means it's going to have a better solution in syria sorry that is an ornament on the mascot's has brought a new constitution into force and has promised to hold parliamentary elections in may will that satisfy the opposition or is it too little too late but again no one you say will be successful except this by the opposition the an open question it's far too big to tell right now of course nobody is claiming that the assad regime is in them are actually on the contrary the point is whether violent overthrow by

a military intervention is going to i don't think not the thing what we should do is see how and measure how serious he is about these things we don't know yet whether he means to go or not but we should at least give it it's wrong and force him to do it to follow up on these words. tell me what about the claim that syrian political leaders say i lost my last. just hang in there for just a minute. we lost mr van. audio well wait just a moment mr van dusen here. again yes. i was just asking if that's all right i was just asking what about the claim that opposition to this broad vague term political leaders saying they're getting weapons from abroad do you think we need an international arms in bargo. would be. a very good step in the right direction yes but you cannot just enforce an arms embargo what you need is for

these two and goes for the asians and that is something that can be done if there is a political will. well military intervention is becoming nato's way of dealing with political conflicts as in libya for example is syria syria a similar scenario or is it entirely different no i wouldn't say it's entirely different but it's not similar to the reasons that i just gave you the other was probably it would already be. mentioned which is not the case now this would be spoiled for another so mary look we don't know because what we see in libya is not really a temptation to a peaceful democracy and this is not the same we want for syria if we are serious at least while bringing democracy to the. country like syria which is also a matter of debate live from brussels that was international consultant and former belgian m.p. loaded thank you mr. sawyer but. still ahead in the program nuclear propaganda.

we report on why israel still hasn't ruled out the possibility of an attack on iran and its atomic program despite public this quiet at home. eight civilians have been killed by a roadside bomb in afghanistan just days after a u.s. soldier massacred sixteen civilians and a shooting rampage in washington president obama is hosting his key ally british prime minister david cameron for talks on the afghan military campaign and if you can reports from the u.s. capitol. 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 analysts say the incident is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems that the ally forces mission faces in afghanistan the u.s.

and the u.k. or 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 isn't as like the latest murder of innocent civilians or used by all kinds of extremists to recruit even more people to their ranks opium poppy and carrying production in afghanistan has increased dramatically in the last ten years of the war there and is now at record levels and 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 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 war see if 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 send or they just don't tell us that we're winning and b. why isn't the leadership listening to us that we have to say here note 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 to pet each other on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. with no peace the u.s. defense secretary is in afghanistan trying to mend a severely damaged ties with couple after the furor over the burning of the koran by american troops the afghan president says the latest civilian killings an american soldier are unforgivable london based investigative journalist simon isaf says the military campaign is bogged down in goals. 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 chip 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 many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the surge is just troop surges all these things have failed and you just feel that there was this this is can't just to really quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here but it's inside this sort of thing of just blowing that 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 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 don't have to be the losses of their own fate. the global debt crisis is causing world markets to fluctuate and again later peter of l. it has crossed gas debate whether more financial regulation will make for a healthier international economy here's a sneak peak. if we look at what's going on in the world at the moment there's this huge bill going through america called gold for a huge advisedly i mean it's now up to something like six and a half thousand pages how can anybody in their right mind expect to use that to create any sort of a framework apart from a large amount of paper that you can go and sit on or possibly make a suit for and i think that's the problem we're running into here peter is that actually what we can talk about these lovely concepts all day but actually we've got a nightmare coming up because everybody's going to be potentially in danger of wearing an orange jumpsuit because they won't do what they're able to do and if we don't

have any markets whatsoever then reasonable commerce is going to come to a hold because actually i think god will said it best first of all you can't be extreme you can't have total regulation because of stalin ism and those markets didn't work terribly well and you can't have complete 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. china must put the brakes on growth and bring in urgent reforms to keep the world's second largest economy stable and avert political chaos a stark warning comes from premier wen jiabao who is preparing to hand over power later this year it comes as beijing finds a debt laden europe holding its hand out for help our correspondent has are selling our reports. with china's three trillion plus dollars in foreign currency reserves it was only a matter of time before debt laid of europe came knocking on its store from the

chinese sorry the leaders always tell you ok they'll really show that we can reach the car so you can see that's kind of a thank you to be present. it's like not putting in practice may be some kind of a deal or maybe well it's not even a maybe how china's clout is clearly on the rise and so is its confidence this time around china has no qualms letting the e.u. know that it is well aware of its truck card and that any help will come at a price top of its list of demands gaining the status of a full fledged market economy and lifting the one nine hundred eighty nine ban on its purchase of military weapons from the e.u. . and for the first time china has openly used its potential cash card to lash out at the e.u. for a recent anti subsidy and dumping investigations into imports of chinese made steel products precisely because the chinese know there is

a danger of some form of protectionism what they want to do is have companies and bases in europe factories manufacturing products. and screwdriver companies in europe so that a lot of their products will be labeled made in germany made in france made in greece and so on so they will not be considered to be importations from china and the plans already in action just last month the first chinese automobile assembly plant open to bulgaria aiming to produce fifty thousand vehicles per here for the whole european cant of it raising more fears of china's far reaching influence it does would emerge so far as. it is you know. he's it's from cards where you can but europe hasn't thrown in the towel just yet it still has the power to grant china's wishes and as the country's second biggest trade partner the fall of one is the fall of both the e.u.

also has its own demands for one backing on syria and iran part of the political game but the national politics game that has been played is very much real quick on a mix in particular to natural resources but behind the gates of cash rich china it's fighting its own battle trying to sell the idea to its people chinese internet forums were abuzz with annoyance at what they see as poor ordinary chinese paying for rich europeans so that's why they chinese prime minister. try to persuade people and people and. colleagues in the government. helping the european union is also helping ourselves not all the chinese are convinced but if business must go on one local commentator wrote don't hand over

if you're just joining us almost twenty minutes past the hour what's been called a little boring story of death has been discovered in the wrong. do you know ball carrier a public containing nine bombs and large quantities of explosive making materials the amount was equivalent to a hundred kilos of t.n.t. enough to demolish a large residential area police have a sample of the identity of the owner of the garage and are now searching for him investigators believe the explosives were intended for terror attacks in crowded areas of the city all of the devices were defused disposal experts. and now to some other news from around the world. belgian students has crashed in a tunnel in switzerland killing twenty eight people most of whom were children the

vehicle was taking fifty two tourists back to belgium from a skiing the trip when the crash happened near the italian border the investigation was launched into the calls of the tragedy. a series of earthquakes has a brand of tokyo and northeast japan as strong as tremor measured six point eight on the richter scale as it was centered around she wants thirty kilometers from the coast in the pacific ocean a six point one magnitude quake was later felt in tokyo just last year a massive earthquake and tsunami hit japan leaving nine hundred thousand people dead or missing. the international criminal court house convicted a warlord in the democratic republic of congo of using children as soldiers in the tribal war thomas lubanga will be sentenced at a later hearing and could face up to life imprisonment for prosecution also accused him of using children as young as nine guards and sex slaves.

iran's president has appeared before parliament to answer questions regarding his foreign and domestic policy decisions. is accused of mismanaging the nation's economy and challenging the earth already of the country's supreme leader he denies the allegations but now faces calls for his impeachment it was the first time since one nine hundred seventy nine that iran's parliament has summoned the president. meanwhile iran has rejected allegations by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it tried to clean up radioactive evidence of secret nuclear work at any military site tapper and also says it's ready to allow y. actions there but under certain conditions meanwhile tel aviv isn't backing down from its threat to attack but as possibly or reports that's not striking a chord with israeli public opinion. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel that the government refuses to listen there's

no logic in attacking iran. 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 a strike could be imminent the million dollar question right now is whether or not israel 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 destroy. me . before. we don't expect agreement. we can say it was probably. relations between israeli and american leaders are chains like apartment demanding an end to the loose talk of war coming out of little yahoo's government i would now

say that. this roster on the contrary the u.s. government. cannot exist is really. you know one of us. you know and while no israeli official has gone so far as to confirm an attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such political moves have been very well. put namely that. closing the straits of. stopping the flow of oil from the gulf. we are not going to reopen the flow of oil. franking iran. in spite of american explicit objection would certainly.

israel 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. television. now it's time for the latest business our day dimitris keeping us well informed through the day dimitri so cash continues to escape russia those rights in february according to the economics ministry around eleven billion dollars left the country that's after up to seventeen billion dollars according to different estimates left the country in january and now well it seems that full. many analysts political risk was a factor for capital i hope now that elections are a thing of the past this could of course change just think of how the markets are reacting it doesn't seem like it is actually affecting the markets at all this news because the obvious that my stocks are well above one per cent
