ravenous appetite for security of the world's biggest spy base draws a marathoner of protest over fears it could contribute to a new arms race seen since a cold war. ceasefire crossfire you have monitors in syria reportedly come under a barrage of boards with both the opposition and the regime parading the blame while influential rebel back person prepared to lower the new sanctions on us it's hat and. in russia's frozen north if you need to get around it's a difficult job but it is an illusion see duty to fly there joining us to look at the efforts of russia's far north flowing medics in just a few minutes on oxy. it

is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.r. marina joshie welcome to the program for plays dubbed the largest spy center in the world man with haleigh in britain certainly carries an unassuming name but follows three decades now the complex run jointly by the u.k. in the us has been targeted and even seen by protesters in the latest demonstration just a couple of days ago activists and can demand american forces leave decrying what they see as an insatiable and illogical hunger for security reports. it's a little piece of america in the middle of the yorkshire dales it might look like some kind of theme park but it's actually a spy based and part of the early warning system for the ever expanding u.s. missile defense shield is a part of this huge kind of organism that's gripping the world and it sure fishes you get from places like network which is connected together is the american

military base peter base in menwith hill since the nineteen sixty's growing all the time until the site now comprises thirty three of those goals like structures inside each one a satellite dish which collects information from u.s. satellites but also intercepts the communications of other countries that information is then fed back to the u.s. i've used in what they call intelligence led warfare which includes special operations and drone attacks. to keep up with new forms of warfare billions of dollars have been invested in menwith hill over the last ten years it's enabled the base to remain a vital component to the global u.s. surveillance network men with what should talk to steve schofield reckons the inner workings of around a hundred countries are closely monitored here something he dubs an unprecedented level of intervention the u.k.'s providing

a facility here it's involved in drone attacks that we know from independent assessment by killing and injuring thousands of civilians these are acts of war and normally when we have lots of people parliament should normally inform people that were involved in those who were not paying for entirely in the dark about this isn't news to locals they've been coming up here to protest weekly for decades but now their cause has drawn the attention of a global movement occupy helen alexander is from occupy leeds and sees a common cause in menwith hill. it's implications on our on our individual civil liberties the fact that they can listen to all of our phone calls they can intercept our emails you know this whistleblower evidence this testimony is that will back up the claims that what goes on there is not only political espionage but commercial espionage it's a far cry from the land of the free rhetoric the u.s. is famous for and chris sixty men with hell is

a symbol of that hypocrisy and of europe kowtow it to us power but we're seeing is americans developing a new form of imperialism this isn't about protection of democracy if you look at the pattern of this response by the united states over the past twenty years it's ensuring that they have access to oil and other vital not the resources in africa and the persian gulf and we've got to challenge that we really have to start challenging that force to it because the next is probably the attack on iran. with the us is expansion plans for the ballistic missile defense shield to twenty twenty five and with menwith hill already part of the early warning system this poking of america's nose into other people's back yards is to king fears it could be the trigger to a new arms race norris meth r.t. them with hill. ok and in just a few minutes here in our team and ugly trant. in vietnam. we saw

a lot more of my physical work trophies being taken in this war it's photographs. to release a picture showing soldiers posing with mutilated bodies of against becomes the latest in a series of scandals over the behavior of u.s. servicemen abroad. and the u.n. chief has admitted serious and escalation of sporadic outbreaks of violence recently the spider we called ceasefire in a briefing later to the security council and also said the u.n. monitoring mission working to stabilize the truce should be expanded to around three hundred members of his followers reports the teen was caught in the crossfire in a suburb of the capital damascus something the observers haven't confirmed it freshens fire violations more and more civilians are searching for safe ways both inside and outside syria's borders time both of those displaced by the war and left battling for life essential. whether it's battle for freedom or against terrorism for those

caught in between it's produced only losses tens of thousands of syrians uprooted from their homes left at the mercy of strangers for their basic needs and so far it seems those who feed them also define their story we're if you g.'s in the tents you turkey we're here to protest against this because the conflicts in the massacres and the massacre in syria only continue. while the turkish syrian border is seen as the epicenter of serious refugee crisis only a minority of syrians sought shelter across the border most internally displaced and most through the c.g.i. up another bit over the past three months its population of six thousand has almost doubled. refugees are biggest problem around forty five thousand people from the north try to provide everyone with food and shelter but it's hard this compound was

billed as a luxury. it now houses more than a hundred families from homs which is only an hour drive away this mother from baba amr sas her house and entire livelihood is now in ruins and what kind of freedom is that i have for kids who are living off other people's charity who can't get proper health care this fight for freedom left me with nothing. what was once a pool is now living quarters for three families once a week each family receives the ration paid for by local charities the man who invested everything in this resort says the refugees will stay here as long as they need everyone has sins in my life i've also done things i'm not proud of and it's my way to get allah's forgiveness. here there is no one in massachusetts or those who fled to turkey they say when running for your life the destination for refuge is not a political statement the syrian authorities have promised the old the refugees

regardless of where they're fighting to will be able to return to their homes and will be provided for some sort of compensation to help them rebuild their lives but given the scale of destruction in the north it's still unclear whether that's going to take years maybe decades arthur c. syria foreign ministers from the friends of syria group which includes key western and arab states are gathering in paris to bolster pressure on the us and regime the french led me to push for more sanctions against the syrian government and political analyst power a phone who's written extensively on the middle east says some of these world players don't really care about the peace and welfare of the people in syria. we have a government which is the assad government which is under attack internationally accusations sanctions and so on on the other hand you have an internal political opposition which is mostly able to express way out from the

quagmire in which the country is for the full sense of several months and like to open negotiations to sincerely probably with the government and with international community didn't have armed groups of different sorts some foreign countries namely france for instance wants to be represented within the syrian national council but it is not the case there are certain groups which are responding to other inputs not everybody really wants peace because if we take the interests of certain arab states from the gulf evidently much more interested to use the syrian case against the possibility of maybe agreements between iran and the united states so they would argue against this and sort of everybody's trying to get something out of syria but nobody's really caring for the syrians themselves and what is going on inside for the population. and it's

a comprehensive program slashing profits. of hope for millions of cancer patients if india that's half the country liver is a major blow to the sort of money makers paid to make medications portable those. photos of american soldiers posing with corpses and body parts of get our hands have emerged in the us the images obtained by an american newspaper appear to be the latest example in a series of extreme breaches of discipline by u.s. troops i just really important i looked out the fact it may have been their position in afghanistan. they show soldiers from the eighty second airborne division posing with the limbs and or corpses of the suicide bombers back in two thousand and four example one picture shows two shoulders holding a dead man's hand while raising his middle finger i know there are picture shows soldiers leaned over the body of a. corpse clutching the man's hand in

a third photo published by the l a times there is a picture of an unofficial close to me patch that says zombie hunter on it and that is that is laying beside the remains of the afghan bombers now of course this recent incident has not helped anything in going it comes to the relations between washington and kabul it's only arguably more pressure because this is just the latest incident in many incidents to have taken place this year if we remember back in january there were images of marines urinating on the dead corpses of afghan civilians in february there was the incident of the koran burnings by u.s. soldiers and in march of the course there was this shooting rampage that came here seventeen afghan civilians were killed reportedly by an army staff sergeant this of course being the latest but not isolated incident that is clearly damaging the

brand of the u.s. mission in afghanistan fishel reaction that it's calm from a u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta he says that if he havior caught in these pictures is unacceptable an investigation will be launched he also said that he asked the los angeles times not to publish these photos we should also mention that the investigation is all only coming out of the l a times got in touch with the department of defense indicating that they do have these photos this is all coming as nato ministers are meeting in brussels right now to discuss the future of afghanistan after international forces pull out. now reporting in from new york secretary of defense leon panetta portrays the incidents as isolated acts of young people caught in a moment such rhetoric as downplaying the whole trans characteristic of every u.s. led conflict that's a view a former army sergeant

a target antiwar activist. this conversation he needs to change and it needs to stop revolving around a few bad apples or whatever and needs to start being getting real about the fact that these aren't isolated incidents and furthermore it's only a matter of time until they all cried out this is symptomatic of. a long history of war and the types of wars that the u.s. tends to write you know in vietnam we saw a lot more of my physical war trophies being taken like been years and years and tons and things like that. in this war it's totally graphs instead of taking perhaps things with them and they still do i know of examples and so does the media but you know more so than taking body parts to taking pictures. well fine moral commentary and analysis on the story on archie's website and also

worth checking out there a look at the face of a man behind the deaths of seventy seven people last july in norway. the trial of a mass murderer. has seen him flash fascist salutes and cry tears over not having the chance to tell more get all the latest from the oslo courtroom at r.t. dot com. also online some surprising security flaws at one of the world's best football stadiums in germany to find out how superstar striker christiane although . just minutes before we all screw shall showdown with byron munich. just some. time now to explore one of russia's most remote regions in artie's close of serious where we had to an area so hard to get

to that medical help has taken to the skies. but we are in russia's arctic far north where residents rely on a team of helicopter medics to provide sometimes life saving care hours from the nearest village or hospital for years medical problems were treated in local towns but now help is at hand artist on board reports on what's become an emergency lifeline for many villagers. flying north with me in this old soviet work course of a helicopter is dr vladimir brodsky and his team from the region's medical aviation service we head across ever more barren tundra higher and higher into russia's arctic far north until eventually we see our landing spot with the right this tiny village after crossing hundreds of kilometers of snow a world that us as

a boy here suffering from fever and the doctors are going to see what they can do. inside a small building not warm but two babies and their parents are waiting for us the doctors inspect them but can't make a diagnosis and decide to bring them to a regional hospital for better can't settle on a doesn't like taking her baby away from home but she's been before and agrees to go. that's the usual practice with those who live in the thunder they keep mothers with a newborns in hospital for a month. on the way back another stop to check on the health of some native minutes reindeer herders out in the tundra it can take many hours to reach the nearest village so our medical problems simply fixed here in the temp. they used to be but now we can go to civilized places so we call for emergency help. back at hospital other patients helped by the air ambulance are being treated the service costs

fourteen million dollars a year to run and there has been controversy with some claiming that locals exaggerate or make up health problems and use the helicopters as a free taxi service accusations blood amir firmly dismisses your brother it's not true in all the years i've worked here they have been very few full schools usually because a perfectly justified sometimes we've been reproached locals for waiting too long before calling out he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years of vladimir is confident that the even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. john watson r.t. . after months of political uncertainty sound the saints are finally going to get their new president whether landmark inauguration said or later today just before taking the helm president elect plenty to bill of shared with r.t. what fills the hearts and minds of his compatriots here's

a preview preview of that interview which will be coming up in about fifteen minutes time. we have this stream for our people to reunite we have been split into two parts one part lives the north the other part lives in south a set yet say we held a referendum in one thousand nine hundred two where we asked one question do we want to become part of russia people answered yes to this question over ninety nine percent did so we still have this issue and this problem cannot be solved in a day we will work together with north the setia towards reuniting our people and this is the dream that i shared before. now to go is a lot of stories from around the world india has launched a nuclear capable long range missile that is able to reach as far as europe and china chast initially scheduled on wednesday had to be delayed due to heavy lightning in the region experts say the rocket could come into service within just two years in twenty ten the country's successful you launched an intermediate range

missile. the president has threatened to oust the government of south sudan saying people should be liberated from it this comes a bit heavy border clashes after the south seized the hadley oil field claiming it was its territory the new government has been rolling stops the d.n.c. last july and the country gained independence. iraqi officials say three separate bomb blasts have gone off in the capital baghdad six people are sought to have been killed and more than twenty others injured the car bomb and two roadside explosions targeted mainly shiite neighborhoods india has a multi-million dollar cancer treatment market but only one pharmaceutical corporation allowed to lead the profits of the company's hunger for money has left scores of patients priced out of care and doomed to death but as our british leader now reports for my be a white on the horizon. she one of the one of the two point

five million people in india dying from cancer while she spent three thousand dollars of her money and traveled for three hundred fifty miles from her home to get proper treatment she believes there is no hope for abby and the magazines these stores are experiencing who have come from so far so there are times we don't have money to burn. but now there might be a chance in a revolutionary move india's patent office has decided that they're a german pharmaceutical powerhouse would lose its use of rights to manufacture a life saving cancer pale i use was absorbed into the heart of the group you can manufacture from abroad and soon here it was an affordable population and now a compulsory license would be given to a local indian pharmaceutical manufacturer that could make the exact same drug buy cheaper if all of us had been bozos who are

a number of medicine and were very you know there's those that believe that it's news to folks on the price it's all possible because of a revised trade and international property rights agreement passed by the world trade organization known as trips the trips agreement focus is to provide medication to all people in developing countries that means that global pharmaceutical companies are required to sell a life altering medication at a reasonably afford of right to people in those countries if they don't do that patent offices in those countries can ask these global pharmaceutical companies to provide compulsory licenses so that a local manufacturer can benefit make those drops the idea is that the global pharmaceutical companies would then be stripped of their monopoly on drugs in developing countries. barry has said in statements that it is quote disappointed in

the ruling and is looking for ways to challenge it this is a solid birth of what i'm going through that i don't hold us to he. you know but i seen him give all the other things you know we didn't give them a chance to live and a chance for india to stand up against domination from the west preassure either r t new delhi india. at twenty two million dollar fine that's the latest punishment dished out to america's perhaps most controversial financial giant goldman sachs palace he came after revelations the bank gave inside information to its preferred clients along down and i'm fair advantage over other investors as always our kaiser reports coming up next hour as a rundown. it makes sense that the commission was able to negotiate a penalty solomon over four times the two thousand and three penalty settlement so yes goldman sachs already paid a penalty in two thousand and three for this exact same technical violation but

they have more leverage now because of the financial collapse to plead with goldman sachs to pay a little bit more money this time around the blues put a little more money for you or bridging in your group it'll be move your please go through those who just one of you. who are being recruited do you love the little blue but you know this is outrageous that yes it is begging goldman to write up the fine if they're caught the way yeah it's sort of actually you know saying you know what you guys are shameless lawbreaking fog bank. and how about we bring it out of sparks and wacky you know i love these chinese banks who give you know they take the big result back and like to kill home that's a deterrent death is a deterrent. some time to get all the latest business news and right to katie so katie russian

markets are now open any better than yesterday you know ball yes they are ever so slightly we did see this on the markets yesterday but they managed to open up in positive territory so let's head over to the figures and see how the my says and the l.t.s. are performing and the first sort of twenty minutes this side of trade today as i say it's very light days but gains nevertheless we've got the l.c.s. positive of a my space around a third of a percent of the watching them all day to see if they can really hold on to those gains let's see how the variable is performing because that is now moving up and it is indeed losing against the u.s. dollar and the year right here it's all. is definitely want to watch today because this sorry many news events happening in the european markets today but with spanish bond auction that's really on investors' minds it's ten year bond yields

are happening today longevity so that's one to watch if we move on with see how the asian markets are getting on because they're not getting towards the end of the trading day and not much has changed really the nikkei is still suffering those sort of nine tenths of a percent in negative territory behind sign still holding on to a percent and now the nikkei if i just start talking about that want such silly off the back of rising the most in three weeks that's rather disappointing on wednesday now the losses are in spite of reporting the fosters export growth year and a smaller than expected trade deficit as always that you news from europe is really weighing on investors a minds we do have some arises though and among them the. one and a half percent the company said it we helping out russia improve their electric grid and moving on we'll have a look at how the u.s. finished up yesterday now its earnings season we had technology firms releasing.

intel and i.b.m. they were both down but if i joke about. which i'm sure a lot of your familiar with. six point nine percent that's off the cells of profits of the world's largest internet marketplace top expectations how much of the success is being put down to the company pay pal which it uses for payment online payment business and moving on to the oil prices or will it is still a make that hasn't moved much as a tool in the last three hours or so is now trading at a near the lowest level in more than a week after a government report says that us still calls rose more than twice as much as a forecast and in other news that offshore project. from three percent to almost half of russia's oil and gas production over the next twenty years that's what that's what russia's deputy prime minister said late on wednesday the section

expects more kills like the one that we saw this week between votes there and exxon to be joined by others and he's talking about potentially norway's french possibly u.s. share front as well. russia's energy watchdog says investment into the industry will reach one hundred billion dollars this year and half a trillion dollars by twenty twenty big numbers ok so when i come back i'm going to talk about the european pickers because they'll open up very slowly here you think very much an evil bring us this and of course there is a lot coming up your way here on our team including the first stamps of a newborn nation out of syria and after a brief recap our top stories are stay with us for that.
