president saying the same thing the americans obviously taking the lead the specter of a military solution has returned after the syrian regime was condemned internationally for the death of one hundred eight people half of whom were children the full investigation into who was responsible was even launched there all say that the assad regime is committing human rights abuses and they repeat this message obsessive i am confident to predict that indeed it will remain fixed in people's minds and could well be used as a pretext and you don't have to look back to florida to see where hasty genitally is so a rush to take up arms at the cost of war and nine it's exactly what happened in our division of a massacre which was the village of rochester you had a u.n. in korea that was severely bullied by the u.s. ambassador it was leaving your observation mission on the ground yet claims that it was a brutal massacre as occurred innocent civilians by government troops serving with blame presented with ultimatum and random games and bombed back then the

yugoslavian government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the killings in this case blaming the 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 we've been reports of syrian rebels whoever they are liaising with the i think of being in kosovo liberation army the people who were basically agents of mido in the coastal war basically trading on i don't know they were saying they were training in democracy and human rights but technically the only training that the caylee could have ever given any. here's how to figure stage

a war and i believe let's see exactly what's happening now. but even with hindsight after the nato bombing of yugoslavia ruling the alliance is a strikes 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 reason is that punishment will come before even those who are truly responsible are exposed and that could mean not just also of justice but also huge loss of life reef nationality mosco. residents in lebanon's northern city of tripoli have gone on strike kids in protest of the deadly clashes between groups linked to the warring factions in neighboring syria thousands of troops have been deployed after more than a dozen civilians were killed there over the weekend as the conflict in syria

spreads sort of musak from america's syracuse university believes the growing violence is largely being fueled by a third party. the regional countries are are interfering in syria this easily becomes a regional conflict and it's devastating for lebanon which has suffered enough already so many years of civil war between one hundred seventy five and one thousand nine hundred and now you know the violence is happening on a much more extreme level in the north and the lebanese are getting nervous they don't want to have to live through another civil war and it seems like the international and foreign in the gulf states are only encouraging the lebanese to get more involved and to drag it into a civil war and again i think this is more a political agenda than anything else this has to do with the resistance access this has to do with hizbollah this has to do with iran and the west determined 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 if the west didn't instigate them to. talk to you officials are expected to press russian president vladimir putin to change. during this summit in st petersburg alongside china the kremlin is opposed to any kind of military intervention and wants dialogue ansted but it was other issues the end of the day including some of russia's own refers. to follow the top level talks of the final press conference attended by the chairman of the european commission. and of course the chairman of the european council. of course puts in at question was posed by one of the foreign journalists he said that there were leaflets distributed at the hotel where he is saying. no to russian pinochet and hundreds of position members are in prison

and just a quick aside we are apparently staying in the same hotel we did not see any such flyers but the question was posed and the russian president was quick to come up with a response to it. political whenever i go i'm asked about mr holder. and the european court of human rights. criminal cases. so if someone suggested i go to prison you don't have good company of course we're talking about me here the former oil tycoon who is in prison at the moment on charges of investment and tax evasion and now they're of what were of course other issues covered at length and the first and foremost of those was the economy of course the euro is finding itself in the rather tight grips of the economic crisis we have greece which is threatening to leave the eurozone and of course the decision on that is just weeks away from from now but it did look like the european

leaders actually saw the picture and rather roams the colors they said that they're adamant in keeping a greece in the eurozone but it's on the terms and conditions that they themselves put down for the country and this of course comes. on monday when the markets have crashed yet again. greece is gearing up for a parliamentary election in less than two weeks time which could mean nothing scrapping in spain deal with the e.u. and i.m.f. greece's future in the euro zone is also under intense scrutiny and in an interview coming up next hour american economist a nobel laureate eric mask and says an end to the financial woes is still nowhere in sight. greece could go on. and so on term depression unemployment could grow to astronomical high it's already very high but it could it could certainly get higher. the. things are by no means currently as bad as they as they could get i see the the greek

situation as a tragedy because so much of what has happened could have been prevented if europe were truly. integrated unit. cyber threats hacker attacks and laws officially aimed to tackle internet piracy but in fact infringing people's rights to one line privacy at the same time it's an increasingly topical subject and the world's most famous whistle blows only to get to the heart of it in the laces edition of his interview program here on r.t. julian assange gets together with activists from the cyberpunk movement is a taste of what's to come in the next twenty four hours. technology enables those also variants of communication then there is do the other side of that 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 drill this judicial supervision where to draw the control that the citizens can have over the use of this technology is and this is a police and when we get to those police issues and we were looking at the earlier we have. to sign something and don't understand the underlying technology which is why we see so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they understand it but 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 over technology of these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff. so i salute as an aside to those well we're hearing that one of the cyberpunk activists interviewed by. jeremy zimmerman has been held for questioning as he got back to france

a part of the purpose was to fish out information about the wiki leaks founder it's not first time either the programs provoked a rush you may recall of watching the last couple of weeks a top human rights activist from bahrain was detained after talking to a month ago. canadian students are back on the streets thousands of march through montreal two days after talks with the quebec government on chu issued fees collapsed student groups are demanding a freeze on planned increases in higher education costs but the authorities have ruled out that possibility protesters are now vowing to renew daily rallies which last month led to fierce clashes with police and more than two and a half thousand arrests and result is gonna change you can reports now what started in february as a student strike has grown into a popular protest. against mirroring the welfare system of. the canadian province of quebec a region that prides itself on free healthcare and affordable education for its residents students here pay a fixed amount for tuition fees around twenty five hundred dollars

a year for all of the colleges and universities that's the lowest rate in north america and the taxpayers pick up the rest but that model might change as their government looks sounds they are looking at present borders and saying what the united states are doing and trying to become closer and closer to what united states are working on which is more and more proof is a shame since i don't like having your social programs that harbor. tens of thousands spilled onto the streets when the government said they'd be pushing up to ration fees every year and in five years the students of care back will face education costs almost double with their pain. i mean he knows is a student at a montreal university she works part time at a local ice cream shop she says if the people of keg don't stand there around now in the future higher education just won't be an option for many if it's too

expensive. even think about going to school because it's another world it's part of something that's accessible they're not even think about being a doctor or. you know it would be you know it's a symbol and what i was saying is a new isn't so expensive so the people the poor people they want to study they have no choice but going to army for that the prospect of having to join the military to provide for their education is not the only thing about the u.s. example that scares the kubrick was to fund skyrocketing tuition fees americans carry massive student loan debts on their shoulders and we need to preserve this and not become what we've seen growing in the realize. i think a lot of students they are still paying their university program and when they are seventy years old so we need to make sure that every students will be able to. make all region and make sure that they have. to start and maybe their

new and new businesses the rest of north america should be looking to come back as an example of how to mobilize student association should function through direct democracy and how they should actually organize and challenge these measures and challenge this system. to protest clearly signaled the path that is willing or 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 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 keep. reporting from montreal canada. just ahead of the program the egyptians who will mold the life for killing cairo braces for the presence of demonstrators called a lenient sentence falls in the form of. the. biggest. billion dollars since two thousand and three but. no reason for the peace. business is about to move. we will now the u.s. defense secretary is in vietnam was part of a charm offensive in asia right now that slowly encircling china in its own backyard washington's beefing up its military presence in the asia pacific area is seen as an attempt to contain beijing's growing regional influence panetta was

around the clock protests are continuing in cairo's tahrir square as demonstrators divonne the death penalty for president hosni mubarak his interior minister was sentenced to life in prison for their role in the deaths of protesters in last year's uprising although other mubarak associates were cleared of the charges are reports from the egyptian capital. protesters are occupying tiris square in central cairo they're calling for a second revolution to change the situation in egypt initial happiness but former president hosni mubarak was given a life sentence turn to anger as other senior security officials were acquitted of involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters last year mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood's candidate in the upcoming presidential elections second round in the country towards the camp he said that the revolution should continue and that if he was chosen as president he would try and get mubarak back on trial and

how him execute it and the chief prosecutor of egypt has also said that he's going to try and appeal the acquittals of some of those senior security officials after made shafique is the other presidential candidates in this race seen by many as not really being sufficient not up to what they hoped for for this revolution and they see the courts verdict at this very crucial time in egypt as a sign that not much has changed and that they're all you military regime is still in power and mr shafique said that he would not reinstate that old regime and that a choice for the muslim brotherhood would take egypt back to the dark ages as he put it all those going to have a lot of convincing to do to make people believe that he's not part of that old regime in the meantime as this election divides the egyptian people more protests

are being held here in the capital and elsewhere over the country and more are being planned including a million man march through the capital to a bar in cairo. he says both remaining candidates in egypt's presidential election are trying to spin the reaction to. their way. there are people demonstrating against. life sentence which d.c. is very lenient but it also has to be said there are also commentators and other people who. keep to successful resolution is precisely to do this on the move and indeed since an execution of mubarak would be a setback to not only egypt's revolution but also to the arab spring in general surely and key to a successful revolution is not to see the merits of tactics being used in an entry in democracy in egypt but the two candidates who were switched to capitalize on.

said that he was in great danger just. because it means that nobody is among now this is a man who was very trying to highlight he's traveled the muslim peace dies with little new regime and earlier in his campaigning. in briefly a rebel spokesperson says libyan militia allegedly ended their earlier airport takeover but there's no official confirmation yet an armed group seized the capital's main international airport earlier storming it with heavy machine guns and armored vehicles and also forced airport authorities to divert flights there and is apparently directed at the country's leadership for detaining one of their commanders on sunday the world news headlines right now emergency crews in nigeria say they fear the country's worst plane crash in nearly two decades has claimed many lives on the ground as well all one hundred fifty three on board died when the mcdonnell douglas eighty three jet plowed into a two story building in a neighborhood near lagos airport the exact cause is still not known but the
