partnership including holding more joint drills president putin is currently on a state visit to beijing to forge closer ties with the asian giant china's growing influence is causing worries for the united states which has shifted more of its warships to the asia pacific. in the chinese capital for. not only the diplomatic and economic ties seem to be very strong between moscow and beijing but now we have it confirmed by vladimir putin and this is something he stressed in particular that the military partnership between the two countries will also expand now it's already been very strong i mean here that russia and china have already conducted a very successful joint military exercises in the past and certainly the weapon exports from russia to china is also massive but now we understand according to put in that this cooperation will expand suddenly this is some kind of news which would hardly be very welcome in the west in the united states in particular which have been growing a very much war with china's growing military might and the recent visit by the

u.s. secretary of defense mr panetta to the asian pacific region basically confirmed all these worries with producing statements like the united states must be vigilant in the face of. china's growing military power but beijing is also growing very impatient and very irritated with the actions of the united states which in particular this visit often that the saying that the growing military presence in the region may destabilize the whole situation we certainly are waiting to see whether there will be any reaction coming from washington on these statements coming from beijing but definitely the fact that russia and china are growing their military ties certainly adds a very interesting spin to global geopolitics and if you follow that story i'll be interested to know later this we look at how the u.s. might be eyeing how to counter the strengthening russia china part of america's courting new delhi to boost military cooperation we explore whether it's to help.

done by bob woodward where they played out two chapters of information about current operations and also with the catholic bigelow project regarding seal team six takedown of the law last year at this time the film in question which is titled asked zero dark thirty covers last year's raid by u.s. commandos on the pakistani compound where osama bin laden was hiding. the conservative watchdog judicial watch has obtained records revealing that hollywood filmmakers were given access to precisely undisclosed information about the operation oscar winning director kathryn bigelow and screenwriter mark boal were even granted at tour around the volt as cia building where tactical planning for the raid took place the film is out in december but was initially due to be released just weeks before november's presidential elections sad facts all some flak fly the administration's way while the entire project has raised concerns over

the way intelligence is being used it's best that this kind of information particularly as it revolves around what's surrounding this movie remains classified it absolutely has to it's very unfortunate that it's coming out to be used for political purposes for a congressional election however there is nothing unusual about the defense department collaborating with the makers of hollywood blockbusters it's a partnership that dates back to the middle of the twentieth century and it has proved effective the pentagon has what hollywood filmmakers one access to millions of dollars worth of military equipment to use in the movies and hollywood has what the pentagon wants the instance to sugarcoat its actions and attract millions of potential recruits in recent months to other movies about the navy seals long survivor and act of valor how first if official assistance veteran hollywood

reporter david robb says the pentagon has for a long time had access to the scripts of hollywood filmmakers to show the military in a better lot when the american people. are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind so while some will get. others to project patrick and propaganda on to the silver screen you know question archie reporting from los angeles california and just one just waving catchy yesterday the world's top whistle blower julian assange has got his very own interview program here on this channel if you missed any of the episodes including yesterday's latest one can always catch them online as well the streaming whenever you want to see it at home. bridging rules during

public protests may now cost a pretty penny here in russia as lawmakers approve a new bill supporting tougher punishment for violations it's yet to get signed off by the president but the bill's already caused a storm among politicians and opposition groups and even set a new parliamentary record for the time it took to be passed. in office got the details. the draft significantly increasing the fines for violating the rules of taking part in mass rallies from the current seventy year olds to a maximum of seven thousand euros for average citizens or around two hundred hours of community service so that's why it's caused such a wee fall for fierce criticism and anger both from the official and unofficial opposition many of whom are calling this draft draconian but its supporters say very corresponds with western european standards and actually if we compare the figures in the penalties in some western european states are often much more severe

and the flying could be much higher as well reaching seventy five thousand euros the draft was initiated after a launch protest rally ended in clashes between some of the protesters and the police we've seen pieces of concrete flying around small grenades and injuries on both sides it was more of a marathon last night when it took eleven hours for the. state duma to work through the draft because of a new tactic being taken on by the opposition which is new russia. which is similar to. the united states wants to be. possible to do real the vote but by around midnight it still ended up being passed and despite this fierce debate. now we go later stories on our website. interested in this arrest celeste to the side of the radio here. gasping in amazement.

for spectacular footage of this the transit of venus across the sun much better look at our web site of course look at it direct really happens every hundred five years and staying with the final frontier we investigate the mystery of. the ship cloaked in secrecy. a morning nato strike in eastern afghanistan has left at least eighteen people dead including women and children according to local officials the people living nearby say all those killed were celebrating a wedding nato denies that claiming they took out a military commanders in that strike it doesn't mention at all civilian casualties in this statement let's talk about this in a couple of other matters no doubt when you're a she's joining me live he's president of the pac nationalist forum is on the line from islamabad rather our commit to where this event first it's only a week since the u.n.

report since talking whether the number of civilian deaths in afghanistan by nato saying it was far too high now today we have another deadly air strike what impact is this latest. air strike one of a better word i'm going to say accident we don't know there's a strike going to have. first of all i'd go with the report of the of government and their complaints about the civilian deaths of course i would not take into account the denial of the nato because the government does not have a reason to lie and of course they have a reputation to protect in front of their own people they have their answerable to their people so i would go with what the afghan government is saying and they're saying that civilians have been killed today and i think without exaggeration it would be safe to say now that the vast majority of the of gun people have really rebelled against the foreign occupation of their country though the only reason you're seeing increasing and more blunt and more courageous resistance attacks against the coalition forces in afghanistan is because the ordinary of guns are

providing sanctuary are providing protection of providing access to the resistance fighters to the to the al qaeda to the taliban whatever you want to call it whatever nato wants to call them so basically and everything you hear frankly about winning the hearts and minds is really ancient history that the americans have absolutely lost it as far as the of gun people's hearts and minds are concerned on the mission was to protect the wider afghan population wasn't it i mean there's been another event as well twenty two civilians killed to get on top of what i've just been talking about twenty two civilians killed in twin terrorist bombings earlier on of the day as well this protection of the afghan people is going so well as it. the of gun people kevin have lost more of their civilians in the first decade of the twenty first century then the united states lost on nine eleven it was a tragic event of nine eleven but this is no less a tragedy and frankly we don't see any justice in this that the afghan people did

lose this many and of course nato and the u.s. military and guns done a very quick to condemn the taliban for their bombings in various cities where and attacks of course were civilians are killed but how is the u.s. military and nato any different they kill as many civilians there and i think and i hear we hear we talk to a lot of of gun activists and i think anything government in afghanistan after the americans are in order to reclaim credibility i think they will have to initiate some sort of a reconstitution process whereby they would have to move some legal cases maybe go as far as the u.n. or the international court of justice and ask for compensation for what happened i mean of ghana stan will be left with with with wounds that would take it decades to heal i mean just just thousands and thousands of civilians have been killed who would look after the the orphans who would look after the psychological and the

other social problems resulting from the that this. an ending endless deaths of civilians and milk cow and to belittle whatsoever on the u.s. military and the nato. that's let's talk a bit about for a minute complained about the u.s. drone strikes they don't choose they say in the alliance acts against international law is markedly similar to what western aid is accused syria's president of the kind of double standards own land. i think no one has really undermined the international system in the twenty first century the first decade now of course we're in the second ticket of the twenty first century no one has undermined the international system more than nato and the united states and this is very very dangerous i mean this might sound a little alarmist or romantic maybe but if we go back a hundred years ago the early years of the twentieth century the very reason the world went on to extreme armament didn't weaponization and of course endless wars

is because of the mistakes committed by the western powers and i'm very concerned to see these very same western powers sort of messing up and really planting chaos in our region and we will pay the price for what these people are doing here and i think i think good people of this region the countries in the region the major powers in this region russia china pakistan others should really step in and try to sort of contain some of the mess that these western powers are leaving behind or i thank you for your thoughts there on the line from islamabad president of the matchless for. some international news in brief now at seventeen minutes past six o'clock moscow time hundreds have marched through to rome to in support of quebec students have been rallying for months against jewish and hikes since february hundreds of demonstrators have been detained with almost two hundred thousand refusing to attend university wednesday's toronto rallies united local students and
