split challenging day as the market is always another spot on a scandal to some insights minutes because it's out. eleven am and the russian capital you're watching r t a marina joshie plays dubbed the largest spy center in the world many with hail in britain certainly carries an unassuming name but for almost three decades now the complex run jointly by the u.k. and the u.s. has been targeted and even seen by protesters in the latest demonstration just a couple of days ago activists again demanded american forces leave their crying what they see as an insatiable and illogical hunger for security argues laura smith 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 the support to this you kind of organism which. and it sure fishes you get from places like rufio which is connected together is the american military base peter base in menwith hill since the nine hundred sixty s. growing all the time until the site now comprises thirty three of those goals all 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. and 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 are back to you know parliament should normally inform people that were involved in those who were not being 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 consider its 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 is testimonials that will

back up their 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 critics see men with hell as a symbol of that hypocrisy and of europe kowtow it to us power but we're seeing as americans developing a new form of imperialism this is about protection not proceed if you look at the pattern of bases suppressed by the united states the last twenty years it's all about ensuring that they have access to oil and other vital not the resources enough to occur in the persian gulf and we've got to challenge that we really have to start challenging forswear because the next is probably the attack on iran. with the us its expansion plans for the ballistic missile defense shield up to twenty twenty five and with menwith hill already part of the early warning system this pumping of america's nose into other people's backyards is stooping fears that

could be the trigger to a new arms race nora smith men with hill yorkshire coming up in just a few minutes here in our team and ugly trant. here. we saw a lot more of my physical work trophies being paid him in this war it's photographs of their lease of pictures showing soldiers posing with mutilated bodies of against becomes the latest in a series of scandals over the behavior of u.s. servicemen abroad. the u.n. chief has admitted syria c.n.n. asked for lation of sporadic outbreaks of violence recently despite a week old cease fire in a briefing letter to the security council banking moon also said the u.n. monitoring mission working to stabilize the truce should be expanded to around three hundred members this follows reports the team was caught in crossfire in the suburbs of the capital damascus something the observers haven't confirmed and amid

fresh cease fire violations more and more civilians are searching for a safe place both inside and outside here is borders or does that sound like a full. all those displaced by the war and left battling for life's essential. whether it's battle for freedom or against terrorism for those caught in between it's produced on 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 a few g.'s in the tents here in turkey we're here to protest against this because the conflicts and the massacres didn't end the massacre in syria only continue. while the turkish syrian border is seen as the epicenter of serious refugee crisis only a minority of syrian soldiers shelter across the border most are internally displaced and most flats through the c.g.i. of a number for the past three months its population of sixty thousand has almost doubled

refugees are biggest problem now forty five thousand people from the north who try to provide everyone with food and shelter but it's hard this compound was billed as a luxury resort 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 their 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 others forgiveness. here there is no one in mass if you toward those

who fled to turkey they say when running for your life the destination for refuge is not a political statement this hearing the third is have promised that all the refugees regardless of where they're fighting to will be able to return to their homes and will be provided with 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 months or years and maybe they pay it's time going to arthur c. syria foreign ministers from a 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 meeting is said to push for more sanctions against the syrian government and political analyst power phone who's written extensively on the middle east so 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

accusing sanctions and so on on the other hand you have an internal political opposition is mostly i'm able to express way out from the quote nigerian which the country is full. of several months and like to open negotiations with sincerely probably with the government and with the international community then you have armed groups of different sorts some foreign countries namely france for instance wants them to be all represented within the syrian national council but it is not the case there are several groups which are responding to other inputs but not everybody really wants peace because if we take the interests of certain arab states from the gulf evidently they are much more interested to use the syrian case against the possibility of maybe agreement between iran and the united states so they will try to take syria against this and

so everybody is 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. photos of american soldiers posing with corpses and body parts of dead afghans have emerged in the u.s. the images of pain by american newspaper appear to be the latest example in a series of extreme breaches of discipline by u.s. troops are his main import now looks at the fact it may have on their position 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 platoon patch that says zombie hunter on it and that is is laying beside the remains of the afghan bombers now of course this recent incident has not helped anything in going to come to the relations between washington and kabul it's only arguably more pressure because this is just the latest incident in many incidents to taking place this year and 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 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 the option that has come from a u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta he says that the behavior 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 after 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. arena for now reporting their secretary of defense leon panetta portrays the incident as isolated ads of young people caught in the moment such rhetoric is downplaying a whole trend characteristic of every u.s. led conflict that's if you're a former army sergeant turned anti-war activist not the sure. this conversation he

needs to change and it needs to stop revolving around a few bad apples or whatever it needs to start being really getting real about the fact that these aren't isolated incidents and furthermore it's only a matter of time until they all find out if 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 my fingers and ears and tongues and things like that. in this war it's photographs 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 take you body parts there taking pictures i'll find more comment and it also is on the story on our website are also worth checking out there time magazine swaps put in for. the latter known as

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 cancer but now help is at hand are just embarked the ports of what's become an emergency lifeline for many villagers. flying north with me in this old soviet work or so the 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 arrive at this tiny village after crossing hundreds of kilometers of snow we will do the same as a boy here suffering fever and the doctors are going to see what they can do but. inside a small building not warm but two babies and that 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 for those who live in the country you 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 tent. they used to be but now we can go to civilized places so we call for emergency help. back at hospital other patients hope 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 that 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 the calls are perfectly justified sometimes we reproach locals for waiting too long before calling out he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years but vladimir is confident that even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. ciabatta party. after months of political uncertainty south koreans are finally going to get their new president with a landmark and i'm sure ations at a later today just before taking how president elect plenty to bill shared with r.t. what fills the hearts and minds of he's compatriots here's a preview of that interview which will be coming up next hour. we have history for our people to reunite we have been split into two parts one part lives in north korea the other part lives in south ossetia say we held a referendum in ninety ninety two where we asked one question do we want to become

they have more leverage now because of the financial collapse to plead with goldman sachs to pay a little bit more money this background. before you lawbreaking in your group it'll be move your to move those buddha school books we just want you. to do you love. you know this is outrageous that the f.c.c. is begging goldman to write up the find at their coffee table with yeah it's sort of actually you know saying you know what you guys are shameless lawbreaking thugs banks they're scum and we bring it out of sparks and wackier but you know i love these chinese brands who give you know they take a great result back and like to kill him that's a deterrent to death there's a deterrent. crossing out of the world of business here our business and katie there with all the latest katie will europe remain under investor spotlight today really well marina i mean we've got so
