noon in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story bahrain has been caught up in fresh violence the security forces use rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse anti-government protestors outside the capital manama rallies erupted in several cities against the decade long rule of the al khalifa royal family military forces have been accused of killing scores of protesters and arrested thousands since an anti-government revolt broke out last year and arrest comes amid the retrial of up to 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 was witness some of the doctors treating the wounded during the crackdown and thinks the regime is persecuting medics to keep them from telling the truth. and we were just on they do

which is being. in the hospital also. paid the doctors the nurses it was just chaos and they were doing and running. experience with children come with hundreds or thousands of people coming in with internal injuries from. a rules cheerio. under the things you know i think the regime isn't cheap we are going in the military is because they are the prime witnesses to really religious. issues of human rights then he. says to go to the bahraini regime. against peaceful civilian good children some in the way we deem the message must speak arabic and will speak and communion and i think that's what's behind this is. just. procedure. of the arab world that arrest has been played out across t.v.

screens around the globe it seems war is good for ratings but some networks are accused of a fact being rather than a reflecting the conflict or he's outside a boy who 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 rain and no go territory for many of the industry giants who are trying to build the truth here and to send it to the to the other people and to other countries easy to be is into its second week when they are but it takes pride in already having ruffled some feathers in turns to throw spotlight on corruption and mismanagement in government but involve all to be a watchdog for the arab media themselves. media channels of the spokes t.v.

for politicians or parties or most of countries a former iraqi politician and citizen washington lobbyist the channel's director general is used to talking in headlines for him journalistic ethics is not about the lack of idiots or real preferences or political connections it's coming clean about something that many of about five hundred arab satellite channels profess but failed to do there's a perplexing correlation between the rise in the number of arab satellite channels and the increase in violence throughout the region the expression media wars has already become a self phrase in arabic so much so the media and wars seem to be spinning off one another and many t.v. startups 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 the said here a few channels have earned more accolades for its water pouring than al-jazeera

that is until the channel that once was content with revolutionizing arab news coverage said its sides and revolutionizing the arab world is clearly for anyone for watches is focused on one. who removed illusion. with all possible millions and and its government the government. sponsored. the sponsor of the. is calling to smuggle weapons and consider 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 who shoot at government institutions that could be an african. while al-jazeera is probably the most prominent example. you said gender it's obviously not the only one in the past year arab journalists have been seen arriving tanks and warming up crowds you know state media and the official

media mouthpiece there's even that's not such a big problem because it's it can be predicted but the media that call themselves independent media and. in fact they're not independently funded by some specific political force and 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 for integrity. artsy babe ruth lab and on the syrian opposition has dismissed the un statement appealing for a cease fire as not meeting the needs as the people violence rages on despite irrational calls on both sides development kofi advance peace plan washington is certain to come down hard on the baskets if it doesn't comply and is adamant that president assad must go u.s. based journalist patrick hemmings and says the western media's presentation of a conflict doesn't often dovetail 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 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. 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 said to run wild through the streets of damascus and so forth and this is the exact same sort of paradigm we saw in libya see this could does come down to politics where 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. . so sort of it was even piece of pop each night and he seems to think he's bad and made a britain slam for discriminating against the roma community its families are evicted from campsites and some hugs and you refuse to serve them. plus six years of twitter but has done more harm or more good investigate if humans. first it's emerged that at the height of japan's nuclear crisis last march authorities in fukushima concealed radiation data vital to safety evacuating people from the area

japan's got a computer system designed to protect the spread of radioactive releases or predict rather the local media reports say the prefectures government deleted the e-mails that detail the evacuation routes in asia times correspondent pepe escobar says it sounds like a coverup. you need one guy you send this i.t. guy to the minister of education to the nuclear safety tech so pure and disaster response headquarters in fukushima prefecture you find who sent these e-mails who received these e-mails because their logs for all these operations probably a lot of people who shared a building inside this what he thinks oh. i see that if the question of pressure to excel is deeply involved well now there is shifted in play for this little level for sure they were actually detect and their worst radiation in samara areas and it does take time to ensure also with their life or a mission from the public so everybody is in full search it sounds and looks and

there quacks like a major cover up and that itself the japanese public opinion to ask questions also to temper the stress of course in japanese public opinion but to see during. the pill true elements in full and the fact that nobody ger in japan wants to lose face over a needle mr disaster like was fukushima i'm not sure it seems like what happened though fortunately. our web site is a great place to go for more news and analysis here's what's a click away right now the u.n. human rights council urges israel to reverse its settlement policy in the west bank but the country rejects the decision. plus the dramatic footage just emerged of a u.s. helicopter crash in afghanistan last month where remarkably no one was hurt don't forget you can find more of the videos on our you tube channel.

these are the images and scenes from the streets of kandahar. giant corporations rule today. israel says there's no agreement with washington on what we the right time to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon the 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 after trita parsi says war would spell disaster not just for the u.s. but israel too. there's been an ongoing campaign for the last couple months in which the u.s. military is leaking information about 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 and military to push back and make sure that the politicians in 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 you were sort of go with a compromise that would not meet the israeli right mountains and as a result we 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 the 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 tween iran and 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 a war were to break out between israel and iran. u.s. soldier suspected of carrying out a bloody massacre of afghan civilians is expected being charged with seventeen counts of murder and six out of six counts of assault and attempted murder staff sergeant robert bales is currently awaiting trial in the u.s. and could face the death penalty if convicted his lawyers say there's a lack of evidence against his client who hasn't confessed to the killing and investigation by the afghan parliament things up to twenty others could have been involved war veteran and activist michael prysner says the trials of likely to improve the afghans opinion of the u.s. . the politicians and the general down 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 asking him is considered fair game by the u.s. military if we look at the past bases where of massacres that have taken place in

iraq and afghanistan look at the deep massacre in 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 and 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 for staff sergeant bales whatever his trial is for it to be really fair to the afghan people but most truly take their lives into consideration 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 for 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 of the people he killed in their beds in the middle of the night and so i say that fear trial should be fair for the afghan people who are the real victims that are in an activist michael prysner speaking

with us from los angeles. education health and a place to live considered basic rights by democracies around the world but it seems that everyone in the u.k. in a total about europe's human watchdog agency has been zeroing in on britain for its treatment of gypsy and traveller communities citing additions of dozens of families from far away last october are to serve or 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 refusing to serve travellers two thousand and twelve two thousand and this is happening really every really discriminating against a right culture that has a minority that has an absolutely nothing on i would say with racism because you know i for example if we were another minority went hard.

and i said i'm sorry you can't come in here because of who you are i mean absolutely outcry saffir blames the media the only coverage gypsies get in britain ridicules their culture despite complaints of racism this was deemed suitable advertising no wonder when public opinion so overwhelmingly hostile to the journal . white or dear to you made your wondering about the full story for the paper was livid and yelled feel sorry for the pain that made it extraordinary that made it is that although they were there and they try to start the fight some to also stray away so they just think this is the paper where they and i piece about each other and if you think the things you hear about only larry but others are now listening to human rights watchdog slammed the british government for discriminating against gypsies and travellers christian travelers need to access to what they need or

rights to a home to a private and family life respected and that is what is in presently 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 bailiff's came october's a vixen the violent end to a decade long legal battle that's left fifty families homeless. critics say 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 them there is a roof over their heads but i can see if i wish to i can't force them to put your so i wish to carry on living israel outside of the law but so much of work. 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 a 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 lot so all these caravans is in breach 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're getting the least help i could learn it r t london. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe brands is the keys of intelligence failures with calls to investigate why a self-styled islamic jihad as 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 a police sniper thursday after a thirty two hour siege more authentic self killing a rabbi and three children in a jewish school as well as three soldiers in separate attacks. renegade mollies soldiers have looted the presidential palace with gunfire heard on the streets after they ousted president tory there's no confirmation about the former leader's whereabouts the un security council's denounced the coup and called on the immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government the army staged a mutiny and seized power after anger at the government's mishandling of an ethnic insurgency. the u.s. could resume military aid to egypt secretary of state clinton expected to waive a requirement for the country's new authorities to support a transition to democracy so the u.s. aid can continue critics say its own it sends the wrong signal to the egyptian army which has been in control since president mubarak was top of last year the

country's military rulers have been criticized for crackdowns on n.g.o.s and pro-democracy campaigners. the l.a. county coroner's office says pop legend whitney houston suffered a heart attack before drowning in a bathtub in her otel room last month autopsy results released thursday show use of cocaine was a contributing factor to her death houston struggled against drug addiction for years and died at the age of forty eight on the eve of the grammy awards. finally in the news block at social networking site that started out as a platform for personal trivia about daily lives and became a formidable force for helping bring down governments twitter a marxist six year anniversary but there's criticism over the public in of the influence it has on public opinion with its ability to spread information around the world irrespective of whether or not it's true or he's honest i said in a reports from new york. 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 that tweet really should just be a random utterance and i feel like it should be held to almost zero standard whatsoever it's really sure 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. the micro blogging site helped the spread of protests during the arab spring but it's also become a tool for manipulating public opinion of book has a higher standard of checking than a column does the fact column is a higher standard than a blog and a tweet 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 . you thought he's also appreciate the power of a tweet recently occupy wall street somebody who we don't know who posts you know

a message of 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 from this information or propaganda you have a very misleading tweet from some of the members of the security council in the sense of if you're kind of using it for propaganda they're right today we said you know and it's very selective they don't want reporters to try to find out what happened in a closed door meeting with their tweeting things are often falls 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 like charlie sheen who can come out and say terrible things about his bosses on twitter and his job or someone like as a client who's now back on him as a v.c. but in two thousand and seven he was on with tim russert and tweeted. i say there's some tim russert with an acid spine attempt. and you know lost

his contract with imus and the c.e.o. for arguably the most notorious downfall now former congressman anthony weiner's tweeting a photo of his most private of parts wiener certainly is one model of what not to do 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 subjective i don't know if it makes them stupid or if they come to twitter already stupid and they simply use it stupidly i think probably the latter was closer to the truth the micro blog is a minefield for those not cautious make a twitter account and post you know anything you wouldn't want your mom to see or wouldn't want be reported in a newspaper you probably shouldn't put 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 is a waste of time to meet with you know if you really care what the senate will look

over your following as they say it's not always time for you social networks or the difficult work time is wasted on how to contribute and information. everyone is made we can explain to everybody else and since the world. at the end of the day you can use it to dumb down you can use it to smarten up that's how you use anything that really matters this expanded verse three of the first tweet marks billions of tweets already posted and revolutions guided lady gaga is the number one blogger with over twenty one million followers the micro blogs top trending topics of today include bieber our boyfriend and things i hate about sex some tweeters may well regret. i said sure got our t. . over and out of the business. standing by with all the latest on the markets this hour absolutely we're just in the european markets i've been in the last twenty

minutes or so so let's see how kate and in the early few minutes of trade with things very modest gains as you can see that after a very disappointing day today so interesting to see if they can hold on to the gains of the last trading day of the week as you can see that we've got the foot just the slightly up too is the dax if we get up to oil we'll see that it's actually rounding from the lowest close in a week about some concerns supplies. this thing tensions in a wrong the international energy agency says it's not planning to release emergency crews stockpiles despite the price growth that you can see on your screen right there new all the obama administration wants ten nations including china and india to present specific plans of how they will cut down that iranian imports saying that paul's cuts aren't enough to win the an exclusion from new u.s. sanctions so that's oil based our going to have

a look at the current see right now we do see that european markets are even slightly higher so it's no surprise that the euro dollar has a had a change of fortunes in the last hour or so it is trading higher now if we look at the ruble it's pretty much the same as when i was last on your screens it's losing against both the u.s. dollar and the euro this hour as we look at the russian markets for a minute or so we'll be able to see that things are looking up actually they're still grabbing those gains so far this morning they've been open for over two hours now and also falling for a six day capping the worst losing streak in seven months as all the metals declines manufacturing contract to europe and shyness that was a concern to be interesting to see if they too could hold on to those days on the last. this have a look at the stocks and see no surprise you've got some green arrows on the screen right now because gas wrong in talks to buy millions of tons of liquefied natural

gas to get from a huge new bill talk show israel which could strengthen its hold in a market that is asia if you look at the financials they too are gaining we've got state run as. the lead to see. graphs says it will be possible to cut. in the russian by fifty percent in about four years that's also the necessary changes in legislation are interim and says we've also got power exposer into ral that choosing brother was a the company saw a net loss of around five billion dollars in twenty and that's compared to the net profit in the previous yeah but that's on the russian accounting standards right now it's looking rather moving on russia's largest coking coproducer could lose the right to operate its key let me fill you in on this one about the office of the country's environmental regulator found license violations by one of the main units called it says the company didn't show the output orleans required by the

license agreements and this particular unit is operating several fields including russia's largest coal fields the loss of licenses for those could cause up to one of billion dollars natural sees no significant violations and hopes to result in the crew of a number that's the company's papers dropped almost six percent in new york on. an interesting stock to watch out for today so that's it stands out by my month so europe's up russia is up now for a very very very much for that update remember sports is coming up in fifteen minutes but first best of moscow. for the headline.
