who we have been able to speak to the spokes person of the u.n. supervision mission here in damascus they've confirmed to have been fighting in homes they confirm the use of heavy artillery machine guns and they've also been reporting about shellings from helicopter we also hear that they've been a large number of civilians trapped inside the fighting and also the u.n. mission spokesperson has told us that they have the information about a number of syrian army offices being captured the also expressed a concern about this is collation about this file and the country and indeed fears are growing that peace plan peaceful solution for the syrian crisis is now seriously threatened. nato meanwhile is now openly hinting at a possible military intervention in syria that says chief as compare the situation there to that of yugoslavia in the one nine hundred ninety s. before it was bombed by nato into submission international ations professor mark

almond says the u.s. is sticking to its idea of regime change the united states and britain and france have made strategic decision by the long haul are there as a way of putting pressure on iran changing the whole. order of the middle east and therefore if they can achieve that through syrian domestic horses deniable or other arab special courses and. supplies weapons or no to that ultimately i think they will not rush to accept a defeat in the regime survived it would be a huge geopolitical so for our relations between our states and its allies in syria and iran are overwhelmingly ultimately in favor of the western states but of course to go in on the ground i could be written in kosovo in one hundred nine against serbia is a big risk for them you know the could be casualties on our side it's not clear western public opinion is also committed to regime change of a crisis of their own soldiers and so what have you no more rock still

a very one sided international call. but of course would want to become a multi sided conflict that were extremely dangerous and low the risk of course of an explosion in this region. or the mainstream media has been hot on the syrian regime from the outset largely ignoring widespread reports of rebel forces or persistently handing asset backed by often contradictory soundbites but as artie's at this arcelor explains for some it's part of a first strike perfected by decades of practice. images like these. and words like these innocent civilians were beaten imprisoned and the violence protect civilians are often what have preceded military operations in the name of stopping brutal killings by hardened dictators and while authoritarian regimes are not devoid of responsibility for atrocities the story often ends there especially when leaders of intervening countries have to justify their wars to their people it's depressingly easy to sell a war. it's almost becoming

a habit sanctioning even in spite of. the lies told over iraq the same stereotypes crop up again and again and again regardless of who or what kind of regime is being attacked whether it's a secular regime or a religious one to the viewer it's about the good guy bad guy it's about saturating us over and over and over again with the same images but here's what they're good at satisfied the viewing audience without exposing your true agenda in one thousand nine hundred ninety agr. told the story of what iraqi soldiers did to babies in a kuwaiti hospital to think it is and let the children to die of a cloak. her testimony was widely publicized and cited by politicians and justifying their support for kuwait in the first gulf war turned out she was the daughter of the kuwaiti ambassador to the us and her testimony was part of a public relations campaign run by an american p.r.

agency for the kuwaiti government sparking controversy and public anger. p.r. firms or individual spin doctors consulting for governments and politicians is certainly not new or uncommon but while there may be a need for effective communication there is also a very thin line between that and saddam hussein to build and keep weapons of mass destruction outright manipulation as many would point to the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction he used as a pretext for western powers to attack iraq in two thousand and three. communication is a weapon each slogan is a dumb. advertising terms have become war terms we talk about targets we talk about strategy we talk about its impact this is terrible but it is also a weapon in the war because all wars are broadcast live and these images can influence world opinion with it's already been done several times in the past to change the face of war to bring the bodies to make up you can always simulate

a massacre that has not occurred because misinformation it is easier to fall during a period of war. even when history is full of examples to learn from some say people's collective memories are simply too short reality is hardly ever blotted white truth is many sides to it but when the wheels of the p.r. war machine start serving up polish that happens the facts take a back seat the first a lot of take off and what stick even if corrections apologies come later the damage has already been done the plots are often the reverse of the. tougher sell you are to me. also the come this hour ignorance is bliss the us supreme court turns a blind eye to the appeal of several guantanamo bay prison is now being held indefinitely without even being charged with a crime. he knew up to ms and over spain's one hundred billion euro bailout

crumbles as markets realize that not even that's enough to bring them back on the brink. russia's opposition is getting back into protest mode with a planned march through central moscow later on tuesday but a similar rally in may descend into violent clashes with dozens of police officers injured and criminal cases filed against those who started the trouble marty's jehu greaves is across the story now in central moscow for us. jacob what are we lucky to see today then given that the main march didn't go as peacefully as planned. well sure many on both sides of the fence will not want to see a repeat of what occurred on may the sixth just ahead of the inauguration about amir putin as president where do you see those but attached seats seen protesters and police and that is largely as an interpreter is being hijacked on the day by the hardcore extreme elements of the opposition movement but again though it was dubbed a march of millions and on the day according to many conservative estimates only

about eight thousand people turned out now for today's proceedings has been officially sanctioned for about fifty thousand people we don't know just yet if we're going to be able to drum up that support because this is a poor space that has been dwindling recently really heats on the back of the parliamentary elections with allegations let's all fraud but just off the presidential elections then ever since then it petered out somewhat now just yesterday we saw police raids taking place a number of homes of key opposition leaders a moment let's say in the valley anticorruption blogger also that's of course any subject known t.v. personality that's for their alleged involvement in organizing maybe six proceedings which ended in that violence today will be quite significant going to be the first mass demonstration since new legislation has been introduced assume if the raising the fines in place or anyone breaking public disorder regulation public order regulation means that if you attend a mass demonstrations mean are sanctioned you could face

a severe fine of up to nine thousand dollars also if during this. thank you demonstration each cover your face in any way then again you could face quite a severe by the backers of this bill has said it's there to protect public order but the detractors the critics have said it's essentially a financial curfew been put in place there will also state be a pro. rally taking place to oppose the opposition movement and their viewpoint and that has been criticized of late many of those in the opposition movement and the list in general has said that there isn't one significant viewpoint one significant leader to take a stand for this white ribbon movement they lack warm but for their ideology as well they just oppose disputed elections and the rule of law to be free to yourself as president. agrees in central moscow for us thank you.

though israel has arrested dozens of sudanese refugees in the first stage of its plan to deport more than fifty thousand african nationals the country stars itself as the middle east so many ways of democracy has attracted many africans fleeing from violence in their homelands but their one way journey rarely has a happy ending reports. the sudanese are a cancer in our body who will do everything to return them to their lands strong words from a politician in the country but by those who survived the holocaust. sudanese dissidents sudanese dissidents and even stronger words inciting racial hatred against african migrants. the. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has boasted loud that israel is the only democracy in the middle east and yet it's his own politicians who calling for verse that vehicle we need to expel the info treaters from the lands of israel and we shouldn't be afraid to use that word many

of the so-called infiltrators have already been expelled once fleeing poverty violence of authoritarian rule some sixty thousand of them have crossed illegally into israel through the relatively poorest desert border with egypt israel is warn of an impending demographic and economic crisis in the future these are people who experienced severe a tram when their native land in therefore they saw their villages burned down era trees who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere and torture camps in sinai and then a new struggle stars for them. is really say most come seeking work rather than refuge and when it comes to growing crime figures the newcomers make convenient scapegoats but the government cannot deport the migrants as they have a group protection those from sudan and eritrea no matter what the circumstances cannot be sent back because they face possible persecution and so they stay but without work permits and denied the most basic rights like shelter and food i feel

very scary. for that we have this this is a really really scary we feel like very secure. now and then there will be the. arts of violence for the refugees and they already have been apartments of african workers set alight and almost daily beatings. far from dealing with the situation prime minister netanyahu has announced his intention to go ahead with building a detention center to house ten thousand africans and to enforce a controversial law that will allow israel forty's to imprison illegal immigrants for up to three years without a trial then assume a leg they should look into the eyes of easy africans who fled violence and despair and think about what they're doing to see how they were demonized how they were called names is terrible i am ashamed and i'm ashamed as an israeli as a jew in recent months street violence against the africans has surged all the more

insidious because it seems to be getting the nod from above policy r.t. tel aviv. but we've got the world covered at r.t. dot com including details of the u.s. state of ski onor says it can be ok to pull a gun on a police officer. plus watch what you do on the web a russian tech security firm warns where it's an international cyber war the same people behind to the most damaging campaigns to date. high tech gadgets and software are supposed to make our lives much simpler but to do it they have to gather your private data but there's a fear of what the tech firms are doing with your personally and whether you can

really keep anything secret anymore where to an art teacher in a songe meets the cypherpunk movement you say they're fighting your corner. what three of a million people have a security clearance and they're allowed to access that private data point really how can you call the data private right that's the problem is that it is not actually truly one hundred percent secret from every person on the planet it is only secret from the people who are from the pile of the powerful virtually goes out which showed when we talk about internet censorship it is about centralizing power to do it online what people remain be able to access or not and whether it's government censorship or also private on censorship there are tinging the architecture of the internet from one universal network to a broken ization of smaller networks but what we are discussing since the beginning are all global issues whether we're talking of the the financial system going henri

whether we're talking of corruption whether we are talking of geopolitics or energy or environment or i don't know all of these are global problems that mankind is facing today and we have one still one global tool between our hands that enables better communication better sharing of knowledge better participation in political and democratic process what i feel what i suspect is that global universal internet is the only tool we still have between our hands to saw a rebel. those global issues and this is why this is a central fight that we have to fight and that we all have a responsibility here to to fight them. but. thirty g.m.t. and if you've missed any of the series so far you can catch all the editions at r.t. dot com. now a hundred billion euros is not enough to allay the e.u.'s pains that's the message

being signaled by investors just days after the eurozone agreed to an enormous bailout for spanish banks initial market optimism quickly evaporated with spanish journalists to me and schermerhorn says that on top of all that broken jobless spaniards are left to fend for themselves while their banks get another rescue the spanish government has been pushing a very very strict agenda of austerity cuts for months already we've seen that before in all their very loud countries when you're one hundred billion euro seem to any economy. for a few days and then investors realize that we're still in an economic crisis in an economic downturn in the case of a spain even in a recession certainly the banks have to be bailed out we need our banking system intact of course but people because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis case of especially because of the property bubble and all that so

people would be saying why bailout of the banks very large to us we also need it now besides saying why they're angry. well later this hour a lot of american economist nouriel roubini tells us why europe's debt ridden states can't all be tarred with the same brush. some people tend to say the eurozone problem is because of lack of fiscal discipline or fiske of reckless those that applies really the only only degrees yes there is a lie then. there is a fifteen percent of g.d.p. there that is a blow up and then that led to the fiscal crisis but actually in that in spain in the island was the private side of that eventually led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large that was the greater the fiscal problem was not a fiscal problem the first place. so you know you cannot generalize there are different types of cries within the eurozone.

the u.s. supreme court is refusing to hear an appeal followed by seven guantanamo bay prisoners who are being locked up for lengthy periods without even being charged despite president obama's an actual promise to close the tourist facility for good and the wellington author of the content of the files believes such an approach makes a mockery of the entire us justice system. for the last two years in particular the d.c. circuit court said the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has been overriding that decisions that were made by the district court judges has been saying effectively anything that the government says we should be treating as though it's true. and has been stopping any of the prisoners being released through these legal means in the last two years not a single prisoner has when they hate this court was decision it's very very politically motivated by the d.c. circuit court these are very right wing judges they don't want prisoners released

under any circumstances what was happening in the early days was that judges were very impartially looking at the evidence and saying look you're calling upon the evidence of some of the prisoners fellow detainees we also see here that you have actually said that you don't trust the statements that were made by a lot of these prisoners we don't trust your statements that were made by people in the field they were very carefully looking at all the different sides as they're supposed to do but there's been these persistent refusal to release people regardless of how they're judged and i think that makes a mockery of the entire process if we keep having review processes under bush and now under obama saying we do not want to keep holding these people and yet we don't release them what does that say for our notions of justice it makes a mockery of it. we're coming up otoh nine thirty g.m.t. the u.s. also comes under fire as one of the few countries who still use capital punishment

on special report looks are the people campaigning for it to end an inmate who spent years on death row. you've got a story around about this crazy lady with a convertible that. has these people. it is necessary to. everything we do. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today in large part. and.

telling me they came here. will now. have left pakistan after weeks of efforts failed to reach a deal reopening nato supply routes into afghanistan and some of the. last year. killed twenty four local soldiers there are between them has intensified since then with similar tragedies involving soldiers and civilians which. is about winning. i think right now the the administration is determined to partridge itself as being tough on pakistan and

a hawkish hawkish on pakistan heading into the november elections and they don't want to show any signs of weakness we go even further and say the other key pakistani demand is an apology for the november attacks on pakistani military bases which no one seems to think were intentional attacks in the first place but which the u.s. is adamant about not wanting to apologize for it's inconceivable that the us can keep up this occupation of afghanistan in the long run without. at least nominal support from the pakistani government simply to it expensive to use the central asian supply routes but did business seem to be any simple solution right now beyond the us finally coming to its senses and apologizing for the november attacks stopping the drone strikes and i don't think the administration's prepared to to make any concessions at all so i think this tense relationship is just going to

keep getting more tense. we're looking around the world now at some more of this hour's international stories northern afghanistan has been hit by two earthquakes the lot of killed up to one hundred people the tremors struck the mountainous region triggering a massive landslide that buried dozens of homes is reported damage across five districts with the rescue team searching through the rubble for survivors. but as well in president hugo chavez has routed thousands of his supporters to his bid for reelection was first elected back in ninety ninety eight and is seeking another six year term vote in october he spent the past year undergoing treatment for cancer including two surgeries which he says had been successful. there are reports that egypt's former president hosni mubarak is in a coma his health has been deteriorating over the past few days with doctors having to abide the eighty four year old after his heart stopped twice in america is now

in a cairo prison hospital serving a life term for his role in the killing of hundreds of protesters during last year's uprising. a twenty four hour blaze at a missile depor in southern russia has been contained but rescue teams confirming they found everyone who was reported missing residents in the by military village fled their homes and a fire set off a chain of explosions they are stored left at least three injured local authorities used aircraft and military equipment it's not an eight hundred people battling a fire or storing a mission has been a small matter in russia lately as dozens were killed in accidents that is in the past two years. or twenty minutes from now the mood among the russian football squad is up for its euro twenty twelve clash with hosts parroting the first headline stay with us.

sort of a throwback and if i can codified long. it goes back to a time when people would lie down in their forces in the wild lands and pick up these future dates and put him into the sheriff for prosecution of the adult females. and when they go out there he's got weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad can. move. forward chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind though there's a two million dollar bill for his arrest. but not super hero they can be killed to you know they shoot me in the head i'm going to die. and. once you hit and run you never go back to hide anything else.

leak well slim it's technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got this huge earth covered.

this is r t the headlines down united nations observers witness a mass intensification of rebel attacks across syria as nato zone chief into the possible armed incursion with or without u.n. backing. russian opposition activists scare up for another mass rally in moscow after similar deborah last month led to clashes in the protests trend on the way. israel begins implementing its plan to expel more than fifty thousand african refugees is what seen as a racist purging policy deepens in the cell phone away so democracy. when next i mean down the economist who predicted the two thousand and eight will financial crisis. gives us his forecast what we can expect next and whether europe can

weather the storm. mr b. thank you very much for your time in two thousand and six you predicted that there would be a deep economic crisis and six years later we're still in it now did you expect it to last so long that it would be so deep and where are we in the middle in the beginning or maybe there's like the end of the tunnel and the krises morphed into thousand and six was a problem of too much or had that kind of leverage of the private sector households vinings financial institutions corporates now as a result of the response of their cries is this god's theme of those bailing out banks and there is of a massive surge in public that and that sits and now there is a risk of conferees as opposed to individuals or bangs going badly qantas having solvent risk in the fall.
