calling for intervention we've seen the new french 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 before an investigation into who was responsible was even launched they're all saying that their side regime is committing human rights abuses and they repeat this message obsessive lee 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 too far to see where hasty judgments saw a rush to take up arms but the cost of war and nine it's exactly what happened in our division of a massacre which was the village of russia you have a u.n. inquiry that was severely bullied by the u.s. ambassador it was leaving your observation mission on the ground your claims that it was a brutal massacre or as a group innocent civilians by government troops serving it was when presented with

ultimatum and rambling aimed and bumped back than the yugoslavian government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the killings in this case blaming the ban in 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 have 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 treading on i don't know they were saying they were training in democracy and human. right but the only training that caylee would have even anybody is how

to. stage a war and i believe it was happening now. but even with hindsight after the nato bombing of yugoslavia ruling the alliances these 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 donated the risk is that punishment will come before even those who are truly responsible are supposed and that could mean not just a loss of justice but also huge loss of life refinishing r t moscow . now the rebels decision to quit the un backed truce was largely motivated by the behavior of the u.s. and its allies that's the view of antiwar activist don de bar was extensively

covered civil conflicts in arab countries. the united states is trying to kill it but it's absolutely essential that some sort of peace oriented mission take place or there will be bloodshed horrible bloodshed in syria little make libya look like a picnic united states has been very clear from the outset really of the activity in syria that they want to see assad go on they have geopolitical reasons for that particularly the relationship with iran but i mean let's be realistic here there's the u.s. has been intervening since this uprising quote unquote began the report earlier mentions the fact that these are clearly professional soldiers that are conducting these operations these are not protesters that decided to grab some rocks or maybe a pistol because of the response of the state to their protests this is an army that was placed there either emigres from syria or just foreign nationals gente generally that's being supplied from the outside from turkey the nato country from

jordan and from lebanon and so the intervention is already a fact whether or not it becomes an overt intervention outside of the u.n. which by the way is illegal or you know take some other form the intervention has been underway since this you know since the arms struggle quote unquote began. totty you officials were expected to press russian president vladimir putin to change his stance on syria during their summit in st petersburg alongside china the kremlin is opposed to any kind of military intervention and wants dialogue instead but it was other issues that took the spotlight including some of russia's own affairs artie's arena governor scott has been following top level talks. at 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 rome pay and of course puts an egg question was posed by one of the foreign journalists and he said that there were leaflets distributed at the hotel where he is saying. no to russian

pinochet and hundreds of opposition 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 and you. called political prisoners whenever i go i'm asked about mr holder and his future as we know the european court of human rights ruled that there are no political motives criminal cases. so if someone suggests i go to prison then i 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 there of what we're of course other issues covered at length and the first and foremost of those was the economy of course the euro for is finding itself in the rather tight grips of the a comic crisis we have

a 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 rather rosy colors they said that they're adamant in keeping a greece in the euro zone bods 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 part of the mentoring election in less than two weeks time which could mean athens scrapping its bailout deal with the e.u. and i.m.f. greece's future in the euro zone is also under intense scrutiny and in the interview coming up later this hour american economist and nobel laureate eric mascon says an end to the ears financial woes is still no words like. greece could go away. and so a long term depression unemployment could grow to astronomical high so it's

already very high but it could it could certainly get higher. things are by no means currently as bad as they as they could get i seem to be the greek situation as a tragedy because so much of what has happened could have been prevented if europe were truly. an integrated unit a. cyber threats hacker attacks and laws officially aiming to tackle internet piracy but in fact infringing people's rights to online privacy it's an increasingly topical subject on the world's most famous whistleblower is a me to get to the heart of it in the latest edition of his interview program here on r t julian a song gets together with activists from cypherpunk movement here's a taste of what's to come on tuesday. technology enables us to do those of aliens

of every communication then there is do we do the other side of the coin is what we do with it we could admit that there are some indeed some legitimate uses of investigators investigating the bug. but guys and so on but the question is where to draw these judicial supervision where to go to the control that the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is a policy should and when we get to those but you see shoes and we were looking that earlier we have. to just 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 wars are talking about technology as if they're saying that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to root technology into that and so when we have no control over 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. and we hear about

one of the fly for punk activists interviewed by julian assange jeremy zimmerman who was held for questioning upon his return to france apparently the purpose was to fish out information about the wiki leaks founder and it's not the first time the program has provoked a top human rights activist from bahrain detained after talking to a song months ago. in other news canadian students are back on the streets thousands have marched to montreal two days after talks with the quebec government on tuition fees collapsed student groups are demanding a freeze on planned increases in higher education costs but 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. can report what started in february as a student strike is now well into

a popular protest against mirroring the welfare system of canada's southern neighbor. 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 her supporters and seeing what united states are doing and trying to become closer and closer to what the united states are working on which is more and more proof it's a shame since i don't but i have a new social programs that cover for everybody. 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 keg will face education costs almost double

what they are paying now. i maybe even know of 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 their ground now in the future higher education just won't be an option for many if it's too expensive porch adenoma not even think about going to school because it's another world it's part of something that's accessible when i even think about being a doctor or if you know it would be you know it's a symbol and what i was saying is that in usa it's so expensive so the people the poor people they want it 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 carrick wa to fund skyrocketing tuition fees americans carry massive student loan debts on their shoulders we need to preserve this and become what we see growing in the united states right now having

a lot of students they are still paying for their. university program when and when they are seventy years old so we need to make sure that every students will be able to contribute to the. region and make sure that they have you can afford actually to start maybe yeah there are new and new businesses the rest of north america should be looking to go back as an example of how to mobilize how student association should function through direct democracy and how they should actually organize and challenge these measures and challenge this shackle system. to protest clearly signaled the path that 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 fees 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're striving to keep i'm going to check on reporting from montreal canada r t. don't forget all the stories we cover are also available anytime online here's what's up loaded and ready for us are. a life sentence for a russian man as libya convicts over twenty people for helping ex leader moammar gadhafi but they insist they were working as an engineer. russian billionaire. planning a big party a political one that is after securing six million votes in russia's presidential

reinstate that old regime and that a choice for the muslim brotherhood would take egypt back to the dark ages as he put it although he's 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 of being held here in the capital and elsewhere over the country and more are being planned including a million man march through the capital. classes are reported they've taken place between rival libyan militia groups in tripoli as main international airport earlier reports said armed groups seize the capital's airport storming it with heavy machine gun. an armored vehicles there's anger their anger as i should say is directed at the country's leadership for detaining one of their commanders on sunday after omar shore from the institute of arab and islamic studies says the situation in libya is still tense as it struggles to maintain post revolution

with the end of the boer war and going the way of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially with the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. because of the victims to use it as a threat all as an extra bit but you know if you keep spinning a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you can you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
