think god's work was withdrawn and this is. going to be dismissed. procedure. should be on arrest in the arab world has been played out on t.v. screens around the globe and seems war is good for ratings but some networks are accused of affecting rather than reflecting the conflict are things outside of boyko reports from there were lights camera action and he satellite channel broadcasting in arabic promise to give it you or 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's giants were trying to build the truth here into sending to the to the other people and to other countries eager to be is into its second week when they are but it takes pride in already having ruffled some feathers it in turns to throw

a spotlight on corruption and mismanagement in government but above 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 to washington lobbyist the channels director general is used to talking in headlines for him journalistic ethics is not about the lack of a due to 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 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 sad phrase 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 and said here a few channels have earned more sports world reporting than al-jazeera that is until the channel that once was content with revolutionizing arab news coverage set its sights on revolutionizing the arab world is clearly for anyone for watches you have your eyes focused on one. of the movable regime with all possible means and it's government the government of qatar which will. soon. the sponsor of friends of the era is calling from smuggle weapons into syria and calling to smuggle weapons the 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 and illegal while al-jazeera is probably the most prominent example of

acting thing 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. and that's not a such a big problem because it's can be predicted by the media to call themselves independent and. in fact they're not independent they are funded by some specific political forces this is the problem and this may be the reason why a new era of channel goes in there every few months in one of the most saturated media markets in the world there is still a large need. art see beirut lebanon syria's opposition is 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 coherence peace plan washington's threaten to come down hard on the mask as if it doesn't comply and is adamant that

president assad must go u.s. based journalist patrick headings and says western media is presentation of the conflict if it doesn't jive with reality. 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. of britain and their allies sit on one side of the table and they would like a cease fire but they do not want to disarm the rebel groups ok the kind of one of them to to run wild through the streets of damascus and so forth and this is the exact same sort of paradigm we saw in libya seabiscuit 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 our t.v. still to come the prejudice faced by gypsies and travellers in the u.k. . so is it if it was even a piece of poppy i mean just to think he's about i mean a britain slam for discriminating against the roma community is families are a big gift from campsites and some pubs you can refuse to serve. plus six years of weeding but how is twitter done more harm than good we take a look at it if you can see. it but first it's emerged at the height of japan's

nuclear crisis in large authorities in fukushima concealed radiation data vital to safely evacuating people from the area japan is a computer system designed to predict the stret of radioactive release but local media reports say the prefectures government to read emails the telling about you asian rights asia times correspondent pepe escobar says it sounds like a coverup. you need one guy you send this i.t. guy to the ministry of education to do nuclear safety check it's so cute and disaster response to 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 share the blame inside is what he's saying talk to what i see that if. you're excel is deeply fault so i'll know there shifted the blame for this little level altricial they were actually detect and their words radiation in

samara areas and to same time day chose three through life permission from the public so avery body is in full it sounds a looks and the collapse like a major coverup and that it's up to japanese public opinion to ask questions also it's pretty stress of course in japanese public opinion good to see drink to kill true elements in full and the fact that nobody in japan wants to lose face over a i'm needles third disaster like. i'm not sure it seems our fortunes. archie dot com is the place to go for more news and analysis online here's some of those stories that are a click away right now u.n. human rights council urges israel to reverse its settlement policy in the west bank but the country rejects the decision. dramatic footage just emerged of a u.s. helicopter crash in afghanistan last month the amazing thing is and check this out

nobody gets hurt in this accident don't forget you can find all this and much more at our you tube. these are the images. from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. israel says no agreement with washington on what would be the right timeline for stopping 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 would leave hundreds of americans dead author trita parsi says a 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. 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 and the civilians don't make a decision that would put the military again i think 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 right 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 that 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 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 their 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 israel and you know the u.s. soldier suspected of carrying out a bloody massacre of afghan civilians is expect to be charged with seventeen counts of murder and 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's a lack of evidence against his client who hasn't confessed to be killing and investigation by the afghan parliament claims up to twenty others could have been involved were better at it activist michael prysner says the trials are likely to improve the afghans opinion of the u.s. . politicians and the generals and the officers in the military commanders they have made every single person in afghanistan the enemy it is an occupation that the people overwhelmingly a close and this is the this is the nature of the occupation where every single ask

him if considered fair game by the u.s. military and if we look at the have bases where of massacres that have taken place in iraq and afghanistan look at had diplomatic or nice or square 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 and made examples of what they absolutely were not fair to the victims and their families and so forth staff sergeant bales whatever his trial is for it to be really fair to the afghan people most truly take their lives in consideration and bring true 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 to 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 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 would say the fear trial should be fair for the afghan people who are the real sex. education health and a place to live are considered basic rights by democracies around the world but it seems not everyone in the u.k. may be entitled to them europe's human rights watchdog has been zeroing in on britain for its treatment of gypsy and traveller communities citing evictions of dozens of families from farm land last october archetype or better reports on the daily discrimination. sophie 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 levon this is happening freely every day freely discriminating against a race a culture that has a minority that has done absolutely nothing wrong i would say it with racism because you know i for example if you know another ethnic minority went

hard. and i said i'm sorry you can't come in here because of who you are absolute 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 to your. white order to please you make your whining about to feel sorry for the plague was living here i'll feel sorry for the pain that they reject thought of it that way is that all that they they were there and they try to start some source of trailer so they're just this is the paper where they and i is the body it's like any system the things you hear about and relay but others are now listening to human rights watchdog slammed the british government for discriminating against gypsies and travellers because in travelers need to access. they need a right to

a home and for private and family life respected and that is what is in the present and not respected in this country. dale farm used to be the largest concentration of travelers in the u.k. as in over a thousand people had been 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 was a roof over their heads but arkansas if i wish to force them to a good job for is that they wish to carry on living as they are outside of the law but so much of. a roof yes but simply not an option for

a centuries old nomadic culture that's why many at dale farm prefer to live outside of the law they say discriminates against them the travelers who are left are allowed to stay so long as they stay within these walls that's the legal law that's left here that is still quite big it's not big enough for everyone according to the local authority anyone outside of that block so all these caravans is in groups are 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 either bennett r t london. taking a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe friends accused of intelligence failures with calls to investigate why a sub styled islamic jihad it was allowed to kill seven people in toulouse. was

being tracked for months and had even been on a u.s. no fly list but he was killed by a police sniper thursday after a thirty two hour standoff more off build himself killing a rabbi and three children at a jewish school as well as three soldiers in separate attacks. renegade troops in mali have looted the presidential palace with gunfire heard on the streets after i was sitting president touré no confirmation about the former leader's whereabouts and u.n. security council's denounced the coup when called on the immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government the army staged to me and seized power after anger over the government's mishandling of an ethnic insurgency. the l.a. county coroner's office says 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 the use of cocaine a contributing factor to her death he struggled against drug addiction for years

and died at the age of forty eight on the eve of the grammy awards. filing this news block it's the social networking site that began as a platform for personal trivia about our daily lives and became a formidable force in helping bring down governments twitter of marks 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 on a stasi churkin or 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 a tweet really should just be a random and you know like it should be held to almost zero standard whatsoever it's really shows 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. 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 checking than a column just a column is a higher standard than a blog tweet is the lowest circle of fact during iran's green revolution tweeted i witness accounts of government brutality helped boost western support for protestors turned out many other bloggers were thousands of miles from the action. you thirty's 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 it 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 reporters to try to find out what happened in

a closed door meeting but they're 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 it's from terrible things about his bosses on twitter and his job or someone like as their client is now back on him as are the seed but in two thousand and seven he was on with tim russert and tweeted. can i say this on. russert with an acid spiny text. you know lost his contract with imus or 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 we are 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 seductive i don't know if it makes them stupid or if they come to twitter already stupid they simply use it stupidly i think probably the latter is closer to the truth the micro blog is a minefield for those not cautious and they can twitter account can 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 is a waste of time for me. to guess if you really care what you see and it will look over your following as the say it's not always time for you social networks or the death of a war time you see where you stand on what it can contribute and information. everyone's made we can explain to everybody else nonsense the world burns 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 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 talk trending topics of today include bieber our boyfriend and things i hate about sex some tweeters we won't regret that one i think in turkey r.t. . grover out of the business desk very very we all were sitting there i guess we're told we're just on the market. tell us more i will do you mean i'm going to get started if i may way that oil actually because it's extending its gains it's rebounding from the lowest close in weight and that is on concerns that supplies might like to persisting tensions in iran now the its national energy agency says he's not planning to see crude stockpiles despite the price growth you can see there on your screen meanwhile the obama administration wants ten nations including

china and india to present specific plans of how they will cut down that iranian imports in the past cards aren't enough to win the exclusions from the u.s. sanctions so that prizes are for this hour russia is going to apparently return to the so-called. this is the practice of saving oil revenue now that went for crude cash will be stored in special stability for something that was abandoned during the crisis presidential economic aide of how the talk of it says a decision yet needs a formal approval by by the government so that certainly an interesting month. ok that's all it is back into the markets and have a look at europe because they have got modest gains this hour actually they're still having a weekly loss of more than two percent growth and investors in that region are awaiting us home sales but as you can see that output see around a third of

a percent up to half a percent at this hour moving on to have a look at the current says that the euro dollar is still marginally higher actually we've just seen the european figures so it's no surprise that is higher now as far as the ruble it's now higher against the u.s. dollar it just changed in the last few minutes or so but it's still lower against the euro right we move on the hard look at the russian big. and see how they're doing. now is the round. two are benefiting us off the best stocks fell in a row in the worst losing streak in seven months and that's because for the metals declines as manufacturing contracts in both europe and china see if they can hold on. friday afternoon here in moscow that's how they look at the stocks and see who's benefiting at this hour look at gas you can see it is indeed oben it's in talks to buy millions of tons of liquefied natural gas a year from a huge new field offshore israel which could strengthen its hands in

a booming asian market. you can see is indeed gaining the lead to see her mcgrath says it will be possible to cut the stake in the russian bank below fifty percent but that is going to take years apparently that is after the necessary changes in legislation. we've also got power exporter in so raul that too is benefiting at this hour the company so a net loss of around five billion dollars twenty eleven compared to net profits in the previous year but under russian accounting standards. i'm moving on to russia as the largest coking coal producer could lose the right operating the fields the country's environmental regulator found license violations i want to make sure was the main unit because it says the company didn't produce the required amount of coal from the fields this particular unit operates so fulfilled including russia's

largest coal field now the loss of licenses for the field could cost up to one and a half billion dollars. have been no significant violations and hopes to resolve the problem. came out that's how the markets are looking right now this hour i'll be back in about fifty five minutes to give you another update on the great thanks very much for that update and also all the latest updates coming your way with technology special report after the headlines.

well. it's not all stunning games as barcelona hosts the biggest tech gathering of the year in this digitized world stay connected like never before and a whole host of new services means to me the living is now only a quick call right away. but don't get lost in the crowd with one russian blog that proves all the stereotypes wrong take knowledge eco station here on our t.v. screens the church coverage. wealthy british style.
