a ravenous appetite for security of the world's biggest spy base draws a marathon of protests over fears it could contribute to a new arms race unseen since the cold war. he fired crossfire u.n. monitors in syria reportedly come under a barrage of bullets with both the opposition and the regime trading blame by influential rebel backers prepared to lower the absent new sanctions on hospitality and. in russia's frozen north if you need to get around it is a difficult job but it is an illusion see you need to fly there joining us to look at the efforts of russia's far north following medics for just a few minutes to. live

from moscow you're watching our team with me marina joshie welcome to the program now for a place dubbed the largest spy center in the world menwith hill and britain certainly carries an unassuming name almost for almost three decades now the complex run jointly by the u.k. and the u.s. has been targeted and even sieged by protesters in a later demonstration just a couple of days ago activists of counterman of the american forces lead to crime with a.c.s. and social and illogical hunger for security arches 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 base and part of the early warning system for the upper expanding u.s. missile defense shield is a part of this huge kind of organism which gripping the world i'm not sure if it's easy to get from places like rivers which is connected together is the american

military base speedo base in menwith hill since the nineteen sixty's growing all the time until this site now comprises thirty three of those goals like structures inside each one a satellite dish which collects information for us that's light but also into sets 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 of the global u.s. surveillance network men with watch it talk to steve schofield reckons the inner workings of the 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 real box of. parliament should normally inform people that were involved in those who were not being informed. 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 men with hell because. it's a good patient 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 back up their claims that 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 menwith hill as

a symbol of that hypocrisy and of europe kowtow into u.s. power quote 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 investment by the united states over the past twenty years it's all about 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 through it because the next stage is probably the attack on iran. with the us is 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 poking of america's nose into other people's backyards is still king fears it could be the trigger to a new arms race nora smith r.t. them with hill yorkshire. and coming up in just a few minutes here in our teeth and ugly trail. in vietnam. we saw

a lot more of my physical work trophies being taken. the release of pictures showing sword responding with mutilated bodies of albion's becomes the latest in a series of scandals over the behavior of u.s. servicemen abroad. the u.n. chief has admitted syria seen as an escalation of sporadic outbreaks of violence recently despite a week old cease fire and a briefing later to security council ban ki moon also said the u.n. monitoring mission working to stabilize the truce should be expanded to around three hundred members this follows reports that he was caught in crossfire in a suburb of the capital damascus something he was or was having for an image fresh inspired violations more and more civilians are searching for a safe place both inside and outside syria's borders has examined boyko for all of those displaced by the war and left battling for life's essential. whether

it's valid for freedom or against terrorism for those caught in between it's produced only losses tens of thousands of syrians are prudent 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 human turkey we are here to protest against this because the conflicts on 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 syrians sought shelter across the border most are internally displaced and most flats through the c.g.i. up another brick would have cost three months its population of sixty thousand has almost doubled. when a few geezers are biggest problem now we only have forty five thousand people from the north we 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 homes it is only an hour drive away this mother from baba amr says her house and entire livelihood is now in ruins 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 men who invested everything in this resorts 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 massachusetts or those who flocked to turkey they say when running for your life the destination for refuge is not a political statement pursuing their choruses have promised the older 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 and still unclear whether that's going to take months years maybe decades are some going car thief 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 meeting is set to push for more sanctions against the syrian government and political analyst power 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. you 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 which is mostly i'm able to express way out from the

quagmire in which the country is full full sense of several months and would like to open negotiations to sincerely probably with government 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 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 would argue 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. now twenty

two million dollars find that the latest punishment dished out to americans perhaps most powerful financial giant goldman sachs apparently came after revelations the bank gave inside information to its preferred clients allowing them and unfair advantage over other investors and as always our reports coming up at eleven thirty g.m.t. as lowdown. it makes sense that the commission was able to negotiate a penalty settlement 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 pay a little bit more money around the blues put a little more money for your law breaking in your group little girl who go through those who just want you. to be loved good of you but you know this is outrageous that the f.c.c.

is begging goldman to the right up the fine at their craft a bill with yeah it's sort of actually you know saying you know what you guys are shameless lawbreaking fog banks are scum and how about we bring it out of sparks and whack you get out i love these chinese banks who give you know they take the breakers alpaca like they kill oh that's a deterrent death is a deterrent. photos of american soldiers posing with corpses and body parts of dead afghans have emerged in the us the images attained by an american newspaper appear to be the latest example in a series of extreme very just of discipline by u.s. troops. look savvy in fact it may have on 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 pictures shows soldiers leaned over the body of a bearded. corpse clutching the man's hand in a third photo published by the l.a. times there's a picture of an unofficial platoon 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 when it comes to the relations between washington and kabul it's only added arguably more pressure because this is just the latest incident in many incidents to have taken 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 reported lead by an army staff sergeant this of course being the latest but not isolated incident that is clearly the great end of the u.s. mission in afghanistan fishel reaction that it's calm for the u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta he says that the behavior in these pictures is unacceptable and 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. however now reporting gap as

secretary of defense leon panetta portrays the incidents as isolated acts of young people caught in the moment such rhetoric is downplaying the whole trant characteristic of every u.s. led conflict and that's the view of a former army sergeant turned anti-war activist. this congress a 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 and vietnam we saw a lot more of my physical war trophies being taken like pingers and ears and tongues and things like that. in this war it's going to 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 there taking pictures . i'll find more common else's on the story archie's website and also worth checking out the air. rushes key opposition figure alexina vonnie makes it into time magazine's top one hundred of the world's most influential people apparently becoming powerful enough to squeeze from the list all these country man including president elect. plus. some lax security flaws and one of the world's best football stadiums and germany find out how superstar striker cristiano ronaldo self booed let's just of minutes before we all it's crucial showdown with byron munich.

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 tense but now help is at hand artist on dark reports on what's become an emergency lifeline for many villagers. flying north with me in this old soviet work or so the helicopter is drops of blood a mere 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 this is 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 their parents are waiting for us the doctors instruct them but can't make a diagnosis and decide to bring them to a regional hospital for better care spent lana 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 leave and they keep mothers with their 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 helped by the air on the limbs are being treated for service costs forty million dollars a year to run and there's been controversy with some clothing that locals exaggerate or make up health problems and use the helicopters as

situation because girls of france have both going to be selling the bare bones and they hope to raise as much as seventeen point six billion dollars in debt and that's a spanx double to me that deficit target of the french presidential election takes place on sunday as well and that often means that you are driven out because of pressure as you can see the investor the same a rather optimistic and that's certainly important we got a foot to that point six percent tax i just slightly followed up this hour ok moving on because see how the oil is performing a full this hour and it was indeed hard just like trying to book and it was not all the rocky road a mixed role but both the light sweet on the brant are indeed gaining a vis the hour. the tensions between iran and the west do firmly in investors' minds that didn't tell the stories of russia's overall snap and us for exxon mobil
