it was a program are innocent civilians by government troops serving with blame presented with ultimatum and ramble again and bombed back then the yugoslav and government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the killings in this case blaming of benon separatists from the kosovo liberation army an investigation was launched to find out whether the victims were innocent civilians as the international community claimed or whether the country's army had been battling professional fighters two out of three forensic inquiries proved. most of the casualties died in combat the third report by an e.u. team has never been made public interesting we know about the then reports of syrian rebels whoever they are liaising with the. think of being in kosovo liberation army people who were basically agents of mido in the course or.

basically training on they were saying they were training in the marsian human rights but definitely the only training that caylee would have ever even anybody is how to figure masculine or stage a war and i believe that's exactly what's happening now. but even with hindsight after the nato bombing of yugoslavia ruling the alliances those tribes in libya last year history isn't been prevented from repeating itself again and again. when these disturbing images from the syrian village of whole are made world headlines everybody agreed those who are guilty must be punished but the reaction from the international community has been so sweet and so called in ated the risk is that punishment will come before even those who are truly responsible are supposed and that could mean not just also of justice but also huge loss of life. refn ocean r.t. most. residents in lebanon's northern city of tripoli have gone on strike him protest

10:06 am
attempt to undermine these players in the regional politics because they know how popular they are and you know how powerful they are and it's just going to make the whole region into a complication huge conflict and this could be avoided if the gulf countries step back didn't get involved in lebanon didn't get involved in syria and the west didn't instigate them to talk to e.u. officials are expected to press russian president vladimir putin to change his stance of syria during this summit in st petersburg earlier alongside china the kremlin is opposed to any kind of military intervention and it wants dialogue instead but it was other issues into the day the took the spotlight including some of russia's own of his really followed those top level talks. the final press conference attended by the chairman of the european commission chose emmanuel but it was a and of course the chairman of the european council herman van rompuy of course with an egg question was posed by one of the foreign journalists and he said that

every communication then there is to the other side of the coin is what we do with it we could admit that there are some indeed some legitimate use investigators investigating the bad guys and bad guys and so on but the question is where to draw this judicial supervision where to go under the control that the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is police and when we get to those police issues and we were looking at the earlier we. are asked to sign something and don't understand the underlying technology which is why we see somewhat hope about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they understand that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to rope technology into that and so when we have no control of our technology we have these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff. more of that tomorrow the

function through direct democracy and how they should actually organize and challenge these measures and challenge this debt shackle system. the protest clearly signaled the path that came back is willing rather not willing to take when we look towards the united states we see a country in which the idea of access is wrapped up in the ability to pay and this is what we're seeing the resistance against that access to things like higher education or like health care are in fact access to public goods and that there should be a way of controlling the costs and ensuring that people no matter what their monetary capabilities are able to take advantage of these kinds of programs. what the world knows about the protests here is that they have to do with students and their tuition but for people of the problem it's not so much about the economy but more about their identity and the special welfare model that they are striving to i'm going to check our reporting from montreal canada r.t.
