me for the official figures in about twenty minutes time. eleven am in moscow i met president could have you with us here on our t.v. has been caught up in a fresh violence the security forces use rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters outside the capital manama rallies erupted in several cities against the law the rule of the al khalifa royal family military forces accused of killing scores of protesters and arrested thousands since an anti-government revolt broke out last year and arrest comes amid a retrial about the twenty doctors and nurses convicted of trying to overthrow the government by treating demonstrators injured in last year's uprising the original prosecution of the medics brought widespread international condemnation global research correspondent finian cunningham witness some of the doctors try. adding

the wounded during a crackdown and thinks the regime is persecuting the medics to keep them from exposing the true. peaceful produce and they do which is being human in the cause but also in. the doctors the nurses just chaos and they were doing in my. experience. with hundreds or thousands of people coming in with terminal injury strong. rules cheering us on the things that i think the regime is who took me along to the minix is nothing more than calling witnesses to really religious. issues of human rights then. since to what the current regime were so. peaceful civilian. some in one way or the managed must speak out and will

speak and comedian and i think god's work what's with time this is. you don't. just. procedure. what are the arab world's on arrest has been played out on t.v. screens around the world but it seems the war is good for ratings or somewhere worse or being accused of affecting rather than reflecting the conflict or his arse out of boyko reports from beirut 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 and for rain and no go territory for many of the industry giants were trying to build the truth here into sending to the to the other people and to other countries e.t.v. is into its second to be clear but it takes pride in already having ruffled some feathers and intends to throw spotlight on corruption and mismanagement in

government but involve all to be a watchdog for the arab media themselves other media channels of the spokes t.v.'s for politicians or parties or move most or countries and firm iraqi politician and citizen to washington lobbyist the channels director general is used to talking in headlines for him journalistic ethics is not about the lack of it it's a real preferences or political connections it's coming clean about them something that many of about five hundred arab satellite channels profess but failed to do so there is a perplexing correlation between the rise in the number of arab satellite channels i think recent violence throughout the region the expression media wars has already become a sad face of arabic so much so that the media and worse seem to be thinking of one another many t.v. start a war happened to be an audience capture the first gulf war it was

a watershed event for c.n.n. artsy came to prominence after the conflict between georgia and south and said chair a few channels have earned more accolades for its waterboarding than al-jazeera that is until the channel that once was and with revolutionizing arab news coverage said it sides and revolutionizing the arab world so the right is clearly for anyone for their watches you have your eyes focused on the one. who removed the regime with all possible. and it's government the government of qatar. or the sponsors or friends of the. is calling to smuggle weapons into syria and call him to smuggle weapons that member of the united nations that 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. well i'll just series probably the most prominent example of setting can

you suggest that it's obviously not the only one over the past year arab journalists have been seen riding tanks and warming up crowds you know state media and the official media is that there's even the thought of such a big problem because it's can be predicted but media that call themselves independent and and in fact they're not independently funded by some specific political forces this is the 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 need. some boycott artsy beirut lebanon the syrian opposition has dismissed the u.n. statement appealing for a cease fire is not meeting the needs of the people violence rages on despite international calls on both sides to implement kofi annan peace plan washington's threatened to come down hard on damascus if it doesn't comply and is adamant that

president assad must go u.s. based journalist patrick haynes and says the western media is presentation of the conflict doesn't often jive with 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 one thousand 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 fake news with danny de am the u.s. 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 just does come down to politics when you talk about the u.n. and the security council because it is a political body. well stay with us here on r t still to come the prejudice faced by gypsies and travellers in the u.k. . over the plate was live in peace a prop eight now and he still thinks he's about and need a britain slam for discriminating against the roma community is families are evicted from campsites and some pubs even refuse to serve them. but first israel says there's no agreement with washington what would be the right time to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon and u.s.

military meanwhile has concluded that an israeli strike on iran would spill into a regional war that could leave hundreds of americans dead author trita parsi says a war would spell disaster not just for the u.s. but 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 that 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 of the civilians don't make a decision that would put the military again at the center of a disaster from one perspective one can 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 or 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 and to mean iran in israel over the last two and a half thousand years the relations are more often than not being good it would be a very strong red psychological red line if a war were to break out between israel and iran. the u.s. soldier accused of carrying out a bloody massacre of afghan civilians is expected to be charged with seventeen counts of murder six counts of assault and attempted murder 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 the killing and investigation by the afghan parliament planes up to twenty others have been

involved or a bit of it or a veteran and activist michael prysner says the trial is unlikely to improve the afghans opinion of the americans. politicians and the general that the officers in the military commanders they have made every single person in afghanistan the enemy it is an occupation that the people overwhelmingly oppose and this is the this is the nature of the occupation where every single afghan it seems are fair game by the u.s. military and if we look at the have bases where of massacres have taken place in iraq and afghanistan look at the deep end massacre and the source where blackwater guards massacred dozens of people and these cases of people got off with no deals and so one could argue that these were fair to the people that were indicted but they weren't simply thrown under the bus they made examples of they absolutely were not fair to the victims and their families and so the first staff sergeant bales

whatever his trial is for it to be really fair to the afghan people but most truly take their lives and i think that aeration and bring justice to them which would really be you know a life sentence for this soldier so we want to talk about fear 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 stuff sergeant bales quite a bit but we're not really hearing the name of his victims of the children who are going to see their parents again the people he killed in their beds in the middle of the night if i say that fear trial should be fair for the afghan people who are the real victim. the actions of american military personnel seem to be coming under the scrutiny of authorities we were. port on our t. dock a u.s. marine faces and downgrade the right for taking to facebook to condemn president obama and u.s. policies in afghanistan. but also online prison break russian style a convicted murderer from bolivia go launched a daring escape from jail by helicopter to find out how it all ended at archie dot

com. it's emerged that at the height of japan's nuclear crisis last march the authorities in fukushima concealed radiation data vital to safely evacuated people from the area japan's got a computer system designed to predict the spread of radioactive release but local media say the prefectures government deleted e-mails detailing it let's have more perspective on this from asia times correspondent pepe escobar frequent contributor here on r t so it sounds worrying that information so important for people's safety was apparently handled carelessly what's your take on the situation. this is a completely unbelievable story and you know what it takes to solve this mystery which by the way was uncovered by the japanese press you know. you need one guy you send this i.t. guy to the minister of education to the nuclear safety tech into an disaster response headquarters in fukushima prefecture you find who sent these

e-mails who received these e-mails because there are logs for all these operations the explanation by this official that he deleted the you maybe it's because they were taking too much space this is you know this is a explosive profile for the late eighty's early ninety's not for two thousand and twelve is this going to happen simple as that no szczepan it's a very ritualistic and secrets of society people extreme face if this is uncovered here when i mean people i mean higher ups probably people inside a ministry of education inside that mechanism in talk of the nuclear safety tech and all be asleep at fukushima prefecture it could be that governor also because she may receive these e-mails in probably not a low level official so is this going to happen you know definitely there seems to be some shifting of the blame already going on a pretty picture authorities claim they didn't have the public are relevant or

didn't give the public relevant information because it was the national government's job to do that but neither share the data in the end so where was the fault where was the blame. exactly this is what our right seat guy could see if he examine all the computers and pull they'll be very simple and also the full logs and cell phone logs as well as calling home from way or two where it's a very simple investigation in fact let's. talk you do we. did probably a lot of people who share the blame inside is what he thinks so too but i see that if. you're excel is deeply involved so now they're shifting the blame for this whole level off issue unnamed by the way who probe is going to given him the lope somewhere it's probably going to get a cushy job be a cushy job somewhere either remold i alluded to fair everybody will follow and

nothing will be sold japanese by the way. response to the crisis has been criticized from the beginning by some people when the government try to downplay dangers or radiation levels it's one thing to try to avoid panic but another thing to conceal information that's lifesaving so where do you think is the right balance here. is actually a look at this and there's something very interesting. after the earthquake fukushima prefecture self be detected in some areas around four shima to luria one thirty two. this was under x. day it was during the time line word tools e-mails or be sent from tokyo is a liter were deleted so this is a lose discrepancy here because they were actually detect their worst radiation in sam areas and at the same time date sure also we're throwing for a mission from the public so if everybody is in full you know it sounds it looks in

the quacks like a major cover up and it's up to the japanese public opinion to ask for question. so it's a pretty stress of course in japanese but we put in a good to see three. cool true elements in called in the fact that nobody just in japan wants to lose face over a. disaster like what's fukushima i'm not sure it seems i took up a fortune or appears from our usual times correspondent thanks for your insight thank you. education health care no place to live are considered basic human rights by democracies around the world but it seems not everyone in the u.k. may be entitled to that europe's human rights watchdog has been zeroing in on britain for its treatment of gypsy and traveller communities saving evictions of dozens of families were far away last october or he's over better reports on the daily discriminations syfy is a victim of racism she's training to be

a barrister but as an english gypsy she's frequently turned away from bars for refusing to serve travellers two thousand and twelve two thousand have and this is happening freely every freely discriminating against a right culture that has a minority it has done absolutely nothing on i would say it with racism because you know i for example if you know another minority went apart. and i said i'm sorry you can't come in here because of who you are unhappy absolutely outcry saffir blames the media the only coverage gypsies get in britain ridicules their culture despite complaints of racism and this was deemed suitable advertising no wonder when public opinion so overwhelmingly hostile if you're. white or the kids if you made your wiring in or out of florida played with live in
