crackdown a thinks the regime is persecuting the medics to keep them for exposing the for. peaceful purposes and this is being human in the hospital. the doctors the nurses in these cables and they were doing in my. experience with children killed with hundreds or thousands of people coming in with terminal injuries from. under him this is i think a lot of the regime is. going in there is the theory or the prime witness is really who it is. and he's a human rights then he. says to go to bring the regime. against peaceful civilian didn't. want to meet the team the maiden speech on iraq and must be continued here and i think that's why what's behind this

is. if you don't. just risk. procedure. much of the at arrest in the arab world been played out across t.v. screen t.v. screens around the world it seems the war is good for ratings but some networks are being accused of affecting rather than to reflecting the conflict or he starts unavoidable reports lights camera action and he satellite channel broadcasting in arabic promises to give it your is a bold and impartial take on what's happening in that region. at the top of the news bulletin is protest violence in bahrain and no go territory for many of the industry giants who are trying to build the truth here and to send it to the other people until all the concert is easy t.v. is into its second week when they are but it takes pride in already having the ruffled some feathers it in turns to throw spotlight on corruption and

mismanagement in government but above all to be a watchdog for the arab media themselves out of media channels of spokes t.v. for politicians or parties or most all countries and former iraqi politician and says in washington lobbyist channels director general is used to talking in headlines for him journalistic ethics is not about the lack of editor and preferences or political connections it's coming clean about them something that many of about five hundred arab satellite channels for a fast but failed to do there is a perplexing correlation between the rise in the number of arab satellite channels and the increase in violence throughout the region expression media wars has already become a sad face in arabic so much so the media and wars seem to be fitting of one another community to start a war happened to be an audience catcher the first gulf war was

a watershed event for c.n.n. artsy came to prominence after the conflict between georgia and south of here a few channels have earned more accolades for its war importing than al-jazeera that is until the channel that once was contact with revolutionizing arab news coverage set its sides on revolutionizing the arab world is clearly for anyone focus. is focused on one. who removed the regime and with all possible meanings and its government the government of. he sponsored a french of the era. is calling to smuggle weapons into syria and calling to smuggle weapons into a member of the united nations is almost criminal i mean you don't smuggle weapons into a country and give it to people to shoot at government institutions that is totally unethical and illegal while al-jazeera is probably the most prominent example of

setting been you said gender it's obviously not the only one of the past year arab journalists have been seen riding tanks and warming up crowds you know state media and official media because there's been that's not in such a big problem because it's can be political but the media call themselves independent media and. in fact they're not independently funded by some specific political force and this is a problem and this may be the reason why a new arab channel goes in there every few months in one of the most saturated media markets in the world there is still a large media. artsy they are with a lot and on the syrian opposition has dismissed a u.n. statement appealing for a ceasefire as not meeting the needs of the people by allies rages on despite international calls on both sides to implement kofi annan arms peace process but planners threaten to come down hard on the u.s.

or any kind of hard on the gas because if it doesn't comply it is adamant that president assad must go u.s. based journalist patrick headings and says western media's presentation of the conflict is often far from reality. i think the media has played a massive role in syria again i hate to harken back to libya but if you look back at libya the reports that led to the un resolution nine hundred seventy three a lot of them came from the libyan opposition and we're seeing the same thing in syria with the syrian observatory for human rights which is in london and the syrian national council is based in paris you have these kind of foreign bodies these odd foreign bodies feeding these human rights statistics and building up the death count when in fact now human rights watch has just been implicated really in covering up rebel abuses in syria and that's a major thing because if you think the whole the whole thing is really based on a humanitarian issue that's how it's framed in the media in the west and we don't

know where these statistics are coming from c.n.n. has been caught staging sake news with danny de am the u.s. of britain and their allies sit on one side of the table and they would like a ceasefire but they do not want to just on the rebel groups ok the kind of one of them to run wild through the streets of damascus and so forth and this is the exact same sort of paradigm we saw in libya was the disk does come down to politics when you talk about the u.n. and the security council because it is a political body. stay with us here on our t.v. still to come prejudice faced by gypsies and travellers in the u.k. . home to sort of play goes live in peace a pop each night and he seems to think he's bad and need a break in slam for discriminating against the roma community is families are a big hit from campsites and some hugs even refused to serve them. plus twitter has been online for six years now but it hasn't done more harm or good we investigate

in a few minutes. but first israel says there's no agreement with washington on what would be the right time to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon u.s. military meanwhile has concluded that an israeli strike on the islamic state would spill into a regional war that would leave hundreds of americans dead author trita parsi says war would spell disaster not just for the u.s. but for israel to. there's been an ongoing campaign for the last couple of months in which the u.s. military is leaking information about a how dangerous it would be if the israelis were to attack iran how counterproductive it would be and what it would do to the united states because it would drag the us into a war. its main objective is really difficult to achieve militarily if not impossible so this is a way also for the military military to push back and make sure that the politicians or the civilians don't make a decision that would put the military again at the center of a disaster from one perspective one could say that the netanyahu government seems

to be more fearful of a negotiated settlement on the iranian nuclear issue because of a fear that the u.s. would go with a compromise that would not meet the israeli red lines and as a result they actually seem to be more comfortable with the idea that there would be a military confrontation but i think there is also a miscalculation of what lies in israel's interest because in the long term a war will not be in israel's interest either because it will bring about not only a tremendous amount of turmoil in the region but also so far israel has not had a military confrontation with any of the middle east's non arab states in fact continue on in israel over the last two and a half thousand years the relations have more often than not being good it would be a very strong red psychological red line if it were to break out between as you were in iraq. the u.s. soldiers suspected of carrying out a bloody massacre of afghan civilians expect to be charged with seventeen counts of murder as six counts of attempted murder and assault staff sergeant robert bales

currently awaiting trial in the u.s. and could face the death penalty if convicted his lawyer says there is a lack of evidence against his client who hasn't confessed to killing an investigation by the afghan parliament cleans up to twenty people could have been involved or a veteran and activist michael prysner says the trials unlikely to improve the opinion afghan people have us. politicians and the generals and the officers and the military commanders they have made every single person in afghanistan the enemy and it is an occupation that the people overwhelmingly a close and this is the this is the nature of the occupation where every single afghan is considered fair game by the u.s. military did we look at the have bases where of massacres have taken place in iraq and afghanistan a look at that had been massacre in the source where blackwater guards massacred dozens of people and these cases of people got off with no real sign and so one can

argue that these were fair to the people that were indicted but they weren't simply thrown under the bus to me examples of they absolutely were not fair to the victims and their families and so for staff sergeant bales whatever his trial is for it to be really fair to the afghan people but most truly take their lives if we think that aeration and bring true justice to them which would really be a you know a life sentence for this soldier so we want to talk about here we have to talk about the fairness of the afghan people who are now mourning the loss of their family and the interesting thing is you know we hear the name sergeant bales quite a bit but we're never really hearing the name of his victims of the children who are going to see their parents again of the people he killed in their beds in the middle of the night i say that fair trial should be fair for the afghan people who are the real victims. the actions of u.s. military personnel now seem to be coming under the scrutiny of u.s. authorities as we report on our team dot com a u.s. marine facing a downgrade in iraq after take or taking to facebook to condemn president obama and u.s. policies in afghanistan. also wrong ryan prison break russian style

example if you are another ethnic minority who went. and i said i'm sorry you can't come in here because of who you are absolutely outcry severe blames the media the only coverage gypsies get in britain ridicules their culture despite complaints of racism this was deemed suitable advertising and no wonder when public opinion so overwhelmingly hostile to your. wife or appear to few make your whining about awful stories a pretty good living yeah i feel sorry for the pain that made the addict daughter it yeah that way is that all that they were there and they try to start some sorceress really so they're just this is all the people really and i piece of garbage like anything the things you hear about enrile but others are now listening to human rights watch dogs land the british government for discriminating against

gypsies and travellers trips in travelers need to access to a home then you go right to a private family life respected and that is what isn't present in not respected in this country. dale farm used to be the largest concentration of travelers in the u.k. housing over a thousand people but then the bailiffs came october's a vixen the violent end to a decade long legal battle that's left fifty families homeless. critics say it could have been averted had the government provided enough legal caravan sites in the first place one square miles all that's needed to house the four thousand gypsies with nowhere legal to live in the u.k. right now but local authorities are refusing to give up land pledging housing instead it's a matter for the there is a roof over their heads who work in cycles i wish to i can't force them to the offer is there if i wish to carry on living as they are outside of the law that's

a matter for. a roof yes but simply not an option for a centuries old nomadic culture that's why many they'll farm prefer to live outside of the law they say discriminates against them but travelers who are left are allowed to stay so long as they stay within these walls that's the legal plot that's left here it is still quite big it's not big enough for everyone according to the local authority anyone outside of that so all these caravans is in brutes of planning regulations pursuing yet another court order to have all of these people remaining travelers and gypsies are one of the most vulnerable groups in britain they have the lowest life expectancy and education levels of any ethnic minority but at the moment they getting the least help are the bennett party london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe brands being accused of intelligence failures with calls when best to gate wise self-styled

islamic jihad as it was allowed to kill seven people in toulouse mohamed merah was being tracked for months and had even been on a u.s. no fly list he was killed by police and they prefer to stay after a thirty two hour siege in iraq filmed himself killing a rabbi and three children at a jewish school as well as three soldiers in separate attacks. ready good soldiers in mali have looted the presidential palace with gunfire heard on the streets after they ousted president tory no confirmation about the leader's whereabouts the u.n. security council's denounced the coup and called on the immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government the army stage to be and seize power after anger at the government's mishandling of an ethnic insurgency . the u.s. could resume sending military aid to egypt secretary of state hillary clinton expected to waver acquirement for the country's new with already used to support a transition to democracy so u.s. aid can continue critics say it will send the wrong message to signal or the wrong

signal to the egyptian army which has been in power since president mubarak was toppled last year the country's military rulers have been criticized for crackdowns on n.g.o.s and pro-democracy campaigners. los angeles county coroner's office as pop legend whitney houston suffered a heart attack before drowning in a bathtub in her hotel room last month autopsy results released thursday and showed a use of cocaine was contributing factor to the death used and struggled against drug addiction for years and died of age forty eight on the eve of the grammy awards. finally in this news block it's the social networking site that started as a platform for personal trivia about daily lives and became a formidable force in helping bring down governments twitter and marking its six year anniversary but there's criticism over the influence it has on public opinion and its ability to spread information around the world regardless of whether or not it's true or he's an assassin churkin reports. six years ago the little blue bird

chirped its first tweet a new era of social networking took off point of view squeezed into one hundred forty characters a tweet really should just be a random utterance and you know like it should be held to almost zero standard whatsoever it's really just a brain fart but with half a billion users today from anonymous bloggers to world leaders twitter has become a much more powerful force than that of. the microblogging site helped the spread of protests during the arab spring but it's also become a tool for manipulating public opinion a book has a higher standard of joking than the column does the fact column is a higher standard than a blog is the lowest circle of fact during iran's green revolution tweeted eyewitness accounts of government brutality helped boost western support for protestors turned out many of the bloggers were thousands of miles from the action

. who thought he also appreciate the power of a tweet recently occupy wall street somebody who we don't know who posts you know a message that say a cop should be killed ok my guess is the cops post you know because then they were the ones that reacted to it made it a story whether for this information or propaganda you have a very misleading tweet from some of the members of the security council in the sense of it they're kind of using it for propaganda they're right today we said you know and it's very selective they don't want reporter to try to find out what happened in a closed door meeting with they're tweeting things that are often forced from inside the closed doors to private affairs outed reckless twitter posts have seen its authors humiliated and virally hated even fired so whether it's somebody charlie sheen who can come out and say terrible things about his bosses on twitter and this is job or someone like as their client who's now back on amazon the seed but in two thousand and seven he was on with ten russert and tweeted. tim

russert with an acid spiny test. and you know lost his contract with imus and the c.e.o. for arguably the most notorious downfall and now former congressman anthony weiner's tweeting a photo of his most private of parts we are certainly is one model of what not and i think that if i were ever going to cheat on my wife i don't think i would start by broadcasting it over twitter but this new broadcasting tool available to all is seductive i don't know if it makes them stupid or if they concepts were already stupid and they simply use it stupidly i think probably the latter was closer to the truth the microblog is a minefield for those not cautious and make a twitter account and post you know anything you wouldn't want your mom to see or wouldn't want they've reported in the newspaper you probably shouldn't on twitter so what are we putting on twitter and early study found so-called pointless babble

made up forty percent of tweets news only four percent it's a waste of time for me with you know if you really care what sandra bullock over you're following has to say it's not always time for you social networks or the death of. war time is wasted on what it can contribute and information. everyone we can explain to everybody else about nonsense the world. at the end of the day you can use it to dumb down you can use it to smarten up it's how you use anything that really matters the sixth anniversary of the first tweet marts billions of tweets already posted and revolutions guided lady gaga is the number one blogger with over twenty one million followers and micro blogs talk trending topics of today include bieber our boyfriend and things i hate about sex some tweeters may well regret that i was this in turkey party. i'm going to run out of the business desk. on more this hour about well the latest is that in asia

they're coming towards the end of the trading day right now and i can tell you they're heading for the biggest loser choli of the year so it's very concerning that the my among the stocks that are really losing out today is banks and profits for the leading that applies in hong kong china that's the highest ranking you can see that we've got many stocks down including frankenstein. thank you china is one and a half percent so if we look at japan the nikkei it was you see that it's a strong yen that is really weighing on exporters we've got no need down over the we can send now we've also got. all down around two percent they are huge global exports as we head on to you as we can really see that yesterday it was a domino effect leading from china will see the same will happen they did indeed

and that was from the news from china that they reported a fall in manufacturing raising questions about the global economy and how the slowing of it so as well is that we also have news from europe as well manufacturing and services unexpectedly decline in march that was a way of energy majors one of the biggest losers. so we'll see how the prices are faring into this hour and oil is indeed rebounding from the low was close and we got some concern surprise may tighten insisting tensions in iran the international energy agency says it's not planning to release the emergency crews supply so despite that price i mean well though it's not all doom and gloom the number of americans going into the economic improvement in the u.s. so the world's biggest consumer of crude oil. the highest level in eight years that's according to a survey by. although i was don't expect

a significant rise in crude prices unless the trade in consumption rises in the us so we're really watching today if we look at russia now we're just about under an hour until that opens up again here as you can see yesterday's disappointment it really was disappointing because in the morning we saw some more this growth results by the end of the day it wasn't looking too good to see how but as you say and about two minutes right now there's look. where the biggest losers we had financials and they were looking we had two percent down call also a friend of territory. in the day they had some great gains in the morning and then by the end it was over one and a half percent down this isn't gold and see how that say getting on because gold seems to soften as soon as the economic outlook suffers as you can see is indeed is

managing to redefine expectations at the moment but it's still even though it's high this hour it's still heading for its second week decline after dropping to its lowest level yesterday for more than two months as you can see if you're trying to fortunes to still there just get in to read some of that is that the market is there makes the point of the moment as it's right next to the russian markets like they're going to be. looking forward to that thanks very much and all of you viewers can look forward to technology coming up after the headlines stay with.
