the 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 commission human rights abuses and they repeat this message obsessive li 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 far to see where hasty jokingly saw 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 our truck you have if you were in korea 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 murder on programs occur of innocent civilians by government troops serving it was lame presented with ultimatum and ramble again and bumped back than the yugoslavian government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the

killings in this case blaming the benon separatists from the cost of a 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 interestingly enough over the past of we've been reports of syrian rebels whoever they are liaising with the. other think of being in kosovo liberation army the people who were basically agents of mido in the cause or basically treading on by i don't know they were saying they were training in democracy and human rights but definitely the only training that the caylee could have ever given anybody is how do you figure masculine or stage a war and i believe that's exactly what's. now. but even with hindsight after the
6:04 pm
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 donated the risk is that the 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. 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 who's extensively covered civil conflicts in our countries. the united states is trying to kill it but it's absolutely essential that some sort of peace oriented mission take place
6:05 pm
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 if they're still 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.
6:06 pm
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 what unquote began. coming up late in the program the gypsies he wanted more than life and killing cairo places like the idea ok i think it's what demonstrators call a lenient sentence because the market has on my right hand probably. cyber threats attack and old office should be aiming to tackle internet piracy but in fact infringing people's rights to online privacy it's an increasingly topical subject and the world's most famous whistleblower is aiming to get to the heart of it and the latest edition of his interview program he. gets together with activists from the amazement here's a taste of what's to come on tuesday. technology enables told also that eons of every communication then there is due to the other side of the coin is what we do
6:07 pm
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 to the control that the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is a police and when we get to those police issues and we were looking at the earlier you have. to sign something and don't understand the underlying technology which is why research and what hope about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war search 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 route technology into that and so 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. and we hear that one of the cipher func activists by julian assange jeremy's them
6:08 pm
a man was held for questioning on his return from france apparently the purpose or was that official information about the we found out it's not the first time the program has provoked a wrestle with the top human rights activists one bahrain detained after talking to a son to a month ago. canadian students are back on the streets are thousands have was through montreal two days after talks with a key backed government on the tuition fees collapsed now students group sides mending a freeze on planned increases in education costs but authorities have ruled out that possibility protesters are now vowing to renew daily rallies at which in last month and like to clashes with police and more than two and a half hours an arrest and as guy energy can report what started in february as a student strike has now grown into. popular protests mirroring the welfare system of canada when made by. the canadian province of quebec a region that prides itself on free healthcare and affordable education for its
6:09 pm
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 across the borders and seeing what the united states are doing and trying to become closer and closer to what the united states are working on which is more in my presence is a shame and so they're having a 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 will face education costs almost double what they're paying. i mean he notes 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
6:10 pm
in the future higher education just won't be an option for many if it's too expensive for children or may not even think about going to school because it's another world is part of something that's accessible they're not even think about being a doctor or if you know what it would be. and what i was saying is 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 cambric walk to fund skyrocketing tuition fees americans carry massive student loan debts on their shoulders that we need to preserve this and become what we've seen. growing in the united states right now having a lot of students they are still paying for their university program and when they are seventy years old so we need to make sure that every students will be able to
6:11 pm
a country. or. region and make sure that they have they can afford actually to start maybe yeah they're 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 debt shackle 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
6:12 pm
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're striving to i'm going to check our reporting from montreal canada. don't forget all the stories we're covering are also available anytime online here's what they did and radio at are two dot com a life sentence for a russian man as may be a cunt they say but twenty people. but they insist they were made as a. russian billionaire. planning a big political one that is after securing six million votes in russia's presidential election discover the details that are.

6:20 pm
6:21 pm
poll are it in economics it's great to have you with us sir today it's a pleasure so let's start with greece and the latest news we know that chris his public finance is practically paralyzed that pensions and salaries won't be paid in june and then you have people and companies transferring their assets out of the country how much worse can actually the cash crunch get will they even be able to get to the seventeenth of june election we don't know the answer to that since. the election that was. in the near future i suspect that they they can and hobble
6:22 pm
through to the election but things could deteriorate and get even worse and in the meantime i see be the greek situation as a tragedy because so much of what has happened could have been prevented if europe were truly an integrated unity if the same steps had been taken on the fiscal side that is the public spending and tax side as were taken ten years ago on the monetary side so that there were there were it would be true. fiscal integration true centralization of fiscal policy. the. public debt problems that we see in greece but we also see spain italy and number of other countries would have
6:23 pm
automatically have been solved by by virtue of having a centralized europe spanish banks bankia has requested the biggest spill out in spanish banking history and have the spanish banks all soak up the already sure spain has had. some real problems too. and. while they have whether or not nearly. as serious trouble. as greece. it's bad the austerity program there has has only made things worse but just how much financial power. to national and the e.u. authorities have to support spain in countries that are in similar situation like italy for example if they wanted. exercise more
6:24 pm
power at the level of the of the union they could do it there are lots of things that could be done to ease the fiscal problem and spain and portugal one good idea which has been proposed and which i hope will be adopted at some point is the idea of euro bonds to translates private debts and. ordered national debts and so the european objects some fund managers are openly right now dumping they hear assets and it's no surprise that it's running really logans dollar. but is dollar a safe bet at this point i mean america itself has a huge gap and it's government up six its g.d.p. the dollar has always been a safe haven at times of economic uncertainty and i think it will continue to be a safe haven for for many years to come yes there is
6:25 pm
a. a debt problem in the u.s. in the sense that the debt to g.d.p. ratio is higher than it normally is and that it's. if you extract the way it's going for the current situation going forward. it looks as though the jet g.d.p. the debt to g.d.p. ratio will actually. continue to increase but in fact. the seriousness of this problem has been exaggerated so you don't look at it as a crisis i look at it as as a problem but as a fixable problem and not a problem that has to be solved immediately by any means like i think a much more important problem in the united states is to get three a con and
6:26 pm
a back to normal uninformed of the still running at something like eight percent which is too high the first priority should be getting the economy back to normal and then to worry about. about solving the long term debt problem if that's a two three mm and four years ago someone would have sat that you were already facing at crisis of this scale probably people would laugh in your face like no of course not do you think do you think scholars missed something or is it just that the world economy the model of the world economy is running low and it's out of battery and just unable to deliver growth now i actually i don't think this crisis was missed i mean the financial crisis of way nine was was something of a surprise to many economists but the problem with europe we're not at all is that
6:27 pm
there were many economists many prominent economists who pointed out at the founding of the monetary union beginning at the last decade that there was a serious asymmetry between the way monetary policy and fiscal policy were being handled that monetary policy was centralized in the european central bank that fiscal policy was not centralized that in the long run this asymmetry was not sustainable right my skin thank you very much for this interview my pleasure. i had a family i lived in a fairly nice community wasn't rich wasn't upscale it was just like you know our society ok then they started showing up here what happened was my company decided
6:28 pm
i could get cheap labor and they got rid of structural bruiser long rows in legally blonde legally. every morning we have to go to work and you know we have to pay our bills and we have to do and that's just the american dream and if you want the american dream you have to go by the last i figure it's here's one of the major trails into the united states. i watch and they run down my property and about this noise. from the wire is protecting the country i'm the kind of guy who doesn't mindedness panch dirty so i come out here you know we're all immigrants that we all came from somewhere else . with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off
6:29 pm
by mistake especially one of the weapons on hair trigger alert. but most of the victims to use it as a three it all as an extra bit but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see if 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.
6:30 pm

6:31 pm
. we had to earn it i mean we have to earn it every single day of our lives we have to get up every morning we have to go to work and you know we have to pay our bills and we have to do it and that's just the american dream and if you want the american dream you have to go by the last life figure broken like the great granddaughters when they were. yes yes. where were all immigrants were all immigrants as well know that we all came from somewhere else. and there's a tolerance level where there's only so much the the united states can except without severe economic consequence i'm not afraid and never have been i'm not writing that flag has been up here for a year and a half and i will stand i will die keeping that flag up there.
