broke in new journalists troopers on from syracuse station bosses of fabricating reports to broadcast their view rather than show what's really happening in conflict or in syria. the ball's in their importance as barack obama and david cameron casually molo over their afghanistan strategy after the massacre of sixteen civilians find american soldier in the country. china warns of the urgent need to slow down growth to avoid an economic and political crash just as the death rate in europe eyes of beijing as a potential cash cow. is

uncommon broadcasting a lot from the heart of moscow and karen. well as the conflict rages on in syria media spin doctors are fighting their own battle to shape public opinion on the crisis their efforts are made easier by unconfirmed and sometimes contradictory reports and 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 marches maria has 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 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 holmes the camera focuses on the city's all the refinery a shooting begins seven hours before media viewers around the world see a pipeline explosion allegedly caused by assad's army combatant you can clearly see that something is slowly burning in the distance when the smoke has thickened english speakers correct the cameras position for a better shot of what's going on they shake it to make it look like amateur video. it's clear it's not an explosion because you keep on reporting it well you need to see. in another video from a hospital in homes someone behind camera talks to a doctor in the corner we see a little nap. when you should chill bashar good will punish you and talk about his wife. again after some thirty minutes away to the crew starts to get

nervous. or maybe home can read no we need al-jazeera while live on al-jazeera eventually the girl will forget some details because honey shuba shore and your children in this footage we see danny holmes activist known for his exclusive reports from the very epicenter of the conflict his preparing to go live on c.n.n. his relaxed and calm. and there is no shooting until he asks for it. it's a digital easy target. no worries just do it. or i have thought of that so should i say to hell did you or are tell the recent buildings collapsed and we're taking buildings away. he said it could be a miniature get dead in the last hour or two who are here still haven't said enough

reality in the finale book for it but never really got the details for you to see activity become journalists trying to make a chaise as hot as possible. just to show you the price. but not everyone is happy about it well known war correspondent ali husham 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 the higher well he needed a vacation he has just resigned because of biased coverage he says. you know for. whatever for example the revolution of. the entries here a chief in beirut where ali has been working has also quit for the same reason. we started to invite guests from americans who only criticize the regime in syria and

support the regime in bahrain and persons who justify need to intervention this is unacceptable. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by but it's the. right sort of government. to fuel this world. with more and more proof emerge in all of the international media is involved in the arab spring revolutions the question remains open to what extend the influence in france and how much responsibility do they therefore share for what follows. r t beirut lebanon. has sided government task at all parliamentary elections for the seventh day russia is praising the move but says changing reforms are long overdue on the ground syrian troops have overrun another flashpoint city pushing back on troubles opposition activists claim the area is now become the scene of a crackdown while the government's hailing victory against what it calls foreign

funded terrorism rebel political leaders have confirmed they have been promised more weapons from abroad meanwhile the international community is still only able to reach consensus on how to act but you are an estimated more than eight thousand people have been killed in syria since last march international consultant. says it's up to damascus to deliver on its promises of more reform. it's wrong to talk about the opposition in syria they're all sort of listening forces who want a democratic regime after assad who want to negotiate who are against military interventions now this is not a subject for done it's just for those who have chosen violence when nobody is playing the assad regime is there not to the contrary the point is whether violent overthrow by a military intervention is going to i don't think not i didn't think what we should

do do is see how. a measure of how serious he is about these things we don't know yet whether he means it or not well we should at least give it a try and force him to do it to fall on the moon when he needs. and still ahead in the program nuclear propaganda we report on why israel still hasn't ruled out the other towns on the ground and that's atomic program despite the conflict that's why at. eight civilians have been killed by a roadside bomb in afghanistan just days after a u.s. soldier massacred sixteen civilians in a shooting rampage in washington president obama is hosting his key ally british prime minister david cameron for talks on the afghan military campaign you can reports from the u.s. capitol. both countries are facing a huge backlash from their joint campaigns topping the agenda is of getting sent 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 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 elise a becomes increasingly clear that their nation building effort has been a failure of insurgency and 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 carry on 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 it's watching very nervously and with huge concern and what the allied forces are doing there because their actions directly affect russia's national security but the

interesting here in america even the mainstream media which has been generally supportive of war seems not to say trigger happy have started echoing what most people say here in the united states and the thoughts almost pleas that you hear most often with regard to afghanistan 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 is 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. well he said hand the u.s. defense secretary is in afghanistan trying to mend severely damaged ties of kabul after the furor over the burning of the koran by american troops in the afghan president says the latest civilian killings by an american soldier are forgivable one based investigative journalist simon to solve says the military campaign is

blocked it down i ever changing goals they will be trying to manage what i think is construed 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 birth of the koran is what happened quite recently you 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 heard so many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the surge is that dramatic surge is troop surge is all the things have failed and you just feel that there was this account just to really quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise people will forget that we were here that it's an insider's look you've just blown that completely but the reason they went in was to destroy al qaeda and

to get some of that knowledge 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 a 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 masters of their own fate the global debt crisis is causing world markets to fluctuate yet again and that's our peter lavelle and his cross guest debate whether more financial regulation will make for a healthier international economy here's a sneak peek. if we look at what's going on in the world at the moment there's this huge bill going through america called the 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. and i think

that's the problem we're running into here peter is that actually 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 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 style one isn't 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. china must put the brakes on growth and bring it urgent reforms to keep the world's second largest economy stable and over political counts a stark warning comes from premier wen jiabao i'll prepare to hand over power here it comes as beijing finds a debt laden europe holding its hand out for help our correspondent has her silly

reports. with china's three trillion plus dollars in foreign currency reserves it was only a matter of time before debt laden europe came knocking on its store from chinese sorry about leaders always tell you ok they'll we need this shoulder we need school power so actually you can see it's kind of a like you would be present. if i could not put in practice may be the wrong some kind of a deal for me well it's not even a maybe china's call 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 trunk 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.

. 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 been used in places 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 plants made in greece and 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 can't of it raising more fears of china's far reaching influence it does would emerge so as. it is you know.

these it's from cards were 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. politics. is very much really quick on a mix in part because of pool 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're trying to prime minister when the album when jacko tried to persuade its people and people and. colleagues the.

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 a dime without asking for the world in return tesser cilia r.t. brussels. well the roller coaster about the global economy has become some countries are sparing seeing absented downs and terms of their international standing as we report online greece has been given the benefit of the doubt by the ratings agency which raised the country's credit status from its pretty deep ball level after it sealed the second bailout from the e.u. . colleagues shot london's bobbies go on a spree rather than on the beat by water cannons chemical gas and even more tasers find out what they're planning to do with their new equipment on our web site. also

my old girl. and a russian street now in the palm of your. machine on the job called. you're just joining us it's eighteen minutes past the hour what's been called a leb oratory of death has been discovered in a garage in russia. or a public containing nine oh i'm so and large quantities of explosive making materials the amount was equivalent to a hundred kilos of t.n.t. and to demolish a large residential area police have established the identity of the owner of the garage and are now searching for him investigators believe the explosives were intended for terror attacks in the crowded areas of the city all of the devices work a few disposal experts. now to some other news from around the world a bus or with a belgian students has crashed in a tunnel in switzerland killing twenty eight people most of them were children in

a vehicle was taking fifty two tourists back to belgium from a steam train when the crash happened near the a time order of investigation was launched into the calls hope the tragedy. a series of earthquakes has rattled tokyo and northeast japan the strongest tremor measured six point eight on the richter scale and was centered around two hundred 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 has convicted old warlord in the democratic republic of congo of using children as soldiers and a tribal war thomas lubanga will be sentenced at a later hearing and could face up to life imprisonment prosecution also accused him of using children as young as nine bodyguards and sex slaves.

iran's president has appeared before parliament to answer questions regarding his foreign and domestic policy decisions mahmoud ahmadinejad is accused of mismanaging the nation's economy and challenging the authority of that country's supreme leader he denies the allegations of but now faces calls for his impeachment it was the first time since one nine hundred seventy nine but iran's parliament has summoned the president. meanwhile in iran iran has rejected allegations by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it tried to clean out the radioactive evidence of secret nuclear work at a key military site so far and also says it's ready to allow i.a.e.a. inspections there but under certain conditions meanwhile television backing down from its threat to attack but its policy or reports that's not striking a chord with israeli public opinion. there's a growing chorus of anger in israel but the government refuses to listen there's no

logic in a clacking iran. 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 israeli officials keep in tng a striking could be imminent the million dollar question right 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. we. ferment of america before we strike. i would say. we don't expect a green light and we can say it was probably. relations between israeli and american leaders are tense but obama demanding an end to the loose talk of war coming out of netanyahu government i would not buy any say that.

you know. the u.s. government. cannot exist because really. you know we're. in a war and while no israeli official has gone so far as to confirm an attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such moves very very. namely. closing the straits of hormuz. stopping the flow of oil from the gulf. we are not going to reopen. flu or. striking iran. in spite of american explicitly objection would

certainly. israel's relations with you know states. even break them all together and in the long run that might be a gamble even more dangerous then taking on iran's policy on television british conservative m.p. john baron told r.t. that type of attacking iran will only make a peaceful outcome less likely watches full interview later this hour but here's a taste of what's to come. 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 iran is not going to be deterred from pursuing its nuclear program but it's also a logical because we're keeping an option on the table which clearly inflames the

situation people know that it's would be a disaster if we pursued that option of force 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. right now it's time for the latest business updates matrix keeping us well informed throughout the day i dimitri how are the markets reacting to the increasing capital outflow in russia although you seem to be completely ignoring it actually it seems investors are quite used to seeing more and more billions of dollars coming out of the country we did see up to seventeen billion leave in january another eleven billion these are all estimates of the economic ministry leave in february but if you just take a look at those numbers the l.c.s. of them i say it seems to be well completely happy about what's going on in the

global markets in the united states in europe stress tests of american banks and doesn't see the capital flows having any kind of effect on the on the verses moods so as you can see there are more than one percent for both indices and russia so going to the main movers on my sex some interesting stories here after buzz is up four and a half percent on rumors that it's part of red no need a controlling stake in the company lukoil is a bit weaker than the market up by just the nacelle just saying it's planning to spend around twenty five billion. all is investing in its rocky west colonel field and the preferred shares burbank have shot up even more more than five percent this hour and they're at the highest level since summer two thousand and seven. we take a look at what's going on in other markets in the in europe it's actually it's all causative i have i have no idea how this happened but these arrows should be green the first see is up by half

a percent of the action is up one point four percent bit of a technical glitch there sorry for that and actually the markets are driven by what's going on in the united states stress tests of the u.s. banks wardley positive the dow jones is therefore up for for a second session in a row around one third of a percent bit shy here but after gaining one point seven percent the previous session this is still a good sign there's no correction. on the commodities markets or oil is retreating by just a bit still quite high and supporting both the russian economy and the russian ruble if we take a look at those figures you'll see the ruble continuing to strengthen versus the greenback and versus the euro while the dollar is gaining versus the euro on this positive assessment that we heard yesterday from the fed chairman ben bernanke the positive about the economy interest rates will remain quite low. and also inflation is quite a temporary spike and that's all we have time for this hour we will be back in

fifty five minutes time with another market update.
