international news and comment you're watching r.t. the syrian rebels increasingly coordinated attacks on government forces and suddenly the government's heavy response is being closely watched by the united nations secretary-general ban ki-moon personally voiced his concern as human observers reported intensified rebel activity. has the latest now from within syria . the opposition activists have been accusing the syrian army of shelling the residential areas in the thailand something the government denies since the beginning of the uprising here in syria last march they've been insisting on shelling on targeting only the places where terrorists and militant groups are based we've also been receiving video from homestead shows explosions and shellings you can see and hear them but again it's very hard to very far use targeting 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 the fighting in homes they confirm the use of heavy artillery machine guns and they've also been reporting about shelling from helicopter we're also hearing they've been a large number of civilians trapped inside this fighting and also the u.n. mission spokes person has told us that they have the information about a number of syrian army offices being captured the also expressed concern about this is collation about this file and the country and indeed there is a growing peace plan peaceful solution for the syrian crisis is now seriously threatened. when they tell me what is now openly hinting at a possible military intervention in syria the answer is chief compare the situation

there to that of yugoslavia in ninety nine to before was bombed by nato into submission international relations professor mark omened says the u.s. is sticking to its idea of regime change. the united states and britain and france have made a strategic decision by a 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 support for other arab special forces and. supplies weapons all over that ultimately i think they will not wish to accept a defeat in regime survived it would be a huge geopolitical setback for the loss of all the power relations were 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 rendering 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

that western public opinion is also committed to regime change or the crisis of their own soldiers as they saw what have you know now iraq still a very one sided international call. but of course would want to become a multi-sided conflict that were extremely dangerous and though the risk of course of an explosion in this region. for mainstream media has been hot on the syrian regime from the outset largely ignoring reports of reveller truck cities or persistently handing assad but by often contradictory soundbites as artie's attacks are sort of 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 actually even in spite of all that we now know about 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 now here's what they're good at satisfied the viewing audience without exposing your true agenda in one 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 have a clue. her testimony was widely publicized and cited by politicians in justifying their support for kuwait in the first gulf war turned out she was the daughter of

the kuwaiti ambassador to the us but 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 at the p.r. firms or individuals spin doctors consulting for governments and politicians is certainly not new or uncommon but while there may be a need for effective communication there's also a very thin line between that and saddam hussein to build and keep weapons of mass destruction out right 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 dum-dum it's advertising terms have become war terms we talk about target we talk about strikes again we talk about its impact this is terrible it is also a weapon in the war because all wars not are broadcast live and these i'm in she's going through this world opinion with me but it's already been done several times

in the us to change the face of war to bring the bodies to make up you can always simulate a massacre that is not the current misinformation is easier the 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 realities hardly ever block a white truth has many sides to it but when the wheels of the p.r. war machine start hurting serving up dollars that happen through the facts take a backseat first a lot of states are often what sticks and even if corrections apologies come later the damage has already been done but the questions are often the reverse of the. tougher so you are to me part. well still to come the. is bliss or time a bay prisoners are denied justice says the u.s. turns a blind eye to those being held for years without even being charged with any crime

. you optimism over spain's one hundred billion euro bailout crumbles as markets realise that not even that's enough to bring them back from the brink. russia's opposition is getting back into protest mode with a plan that march through central moscow data on tuesday a similar rally may descended into violent clashes with dozens of police officers injured and criminal cases filed against those who started the trouble when artie's agrees is across the story in central moscow for us now jacob the run is due to start in a couple of hours are there any signs of activists got through starting point. here was thing really a steady flow of people arriving at this. has been officially sanctioned for fifty thousand people the key question is can they amass those numbers now they failed in recent similar protests may the six again the march of millions. of

estimates their master around eight thousand people in attendance that was marred by violence through clashes between protesters and police largely blamed on the fringe element of this opposition movement that has been twiddly in support really ever since those presidential elections the results were announced reship a day in terms of people hours on the street just after the parliamentary elections abuse allegations of electoral fraud some of the key people have played roles in an organizing this we're told by police yesterday in raids now. about the anti corruption blogger also just saying yes check no t.v. personality and that is largely to do for their alleged role in orchestrating the activities on may the sixth that demonstration that took place is going to be quite an important one to watch as the first of its. isaacson important legislation has been passing with the raising the fines in place or disappearing public order now what that means when it comes to demonstrate is worth demonstrations on sanctions

and you turn up well you could be forced to pay a fine of up to nine thousand dollars and for those even though this has been sanctioned they could still face some punitive measures to be fair seem to be covering their faces in the crowds the reason this is being put forward according to the legislators is to try and keep and maintain public order in a company's mass demonstrations that have been critics there saying this is essentially a financial curfew being put in place trampy keep people away from these demonstrations most of the only demonstration or rally to be taking place today we're expecting other ones where they're more jubilant and most nature really celebrating this day of russia the mace their focus is going to be what goes on behind me today asked because they're going to have to really be seen to be the new lease of life into this movement has been dwindling has been suffering for six months after it started up still yet to really establish one leader to get behind perhaps more crucially

points is by many analysts is the fact that even though they're united in opposition to flatter me putin and stand against disputed elections i don't really at the moment share any political ideals and ideology. greece in central moscow thank you. well israel has arrested dozens of sudanese refugees in the first stage of its plan to the port more than fifty thousand african nationals the country stars itself as a really it's a way system democracy has attracted many africans fleeing from violence in their homelands but their one way journey rarely has a happy ending point to slip in our reports i thought that. 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 built by those who survived the holocaust. sudanese dissidents sudanese to sit down and even stronger words inciting racial hatred

against african migrants. point 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 first. we need to expel the infiltrators from the land of israel and we shouldn't be afraid to use that word so 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 one of an impending demographic and economic crisis. these are people who experienced severe trauma in their native land in therefore they saw their villages burned down or trees who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere in torture camps in sinai and then a new struggle stars for them. israeli 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 good 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 that most for we have this this is a really really scary we feel like very secure. now and then there will be the arts of violence towards 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 visa africans who fled violence and despair and think about what they're doing to see how they're demonized how they're called names is terrible i am ashamed 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. television. while the hour across the world at r.t. dot com including details on the u.s. state where an obscure law 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 of ones where in the midst of an international cyber war the same people behind two of 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 fear of what the tech firms are doing with your personal info and whether you can really keep anything secret anymore when i turn our teacher in the silence makes the cypherpunk movement who say they're fighting your corner. when my country of a million people have a security clearance and they're allowed to access that private four point three million 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 poem it is only secret from the people who are from the power of the powerful you're exactly sure when we talk about internet censorship it is about centralizing power to determine what people remember be able to access or not and whether it's government

censorship or also private on censorship there are changes in the architecture of the internet from one universal network to a bulk and 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're 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 sort of wrestle them 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. well to the scientists here at eleven thirty g.m.t. and if you've missed any of the series so far you can always catch all editions at r.t. dot com. now there are one hundred billion the euros is still not enough to allay the ease pains that's the message being signaled by investors just days after the eurozone agreed to an enormous bailout for spanish banks in the short market optimism quickly evaporated a spanish journalist to me go on adam says that on top of all that broken jobless spaniards are being left to fend for themselves the spanish government has been pushing a very very strict agenda austerity cuts for months already we've seen that before in all their very large 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 a case of a spain even in a recession certainly the banks have to bail out we need our banking system intact of course but people east anglia because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis in the case of of spain because of the property bubble and all that so people would be saying why bailout the banks bailout to us we also need it and besides saying why they're angry. next hour an hour to american economist nouriel roubini tells us why europe's debt ridden states can't all be tarred with the same brush. sometimes people tend to say the eurozone problems because of lack of fiscal this is the brain or fiske of reckless those that applies to be the only only the greece yes there is a lie then. that is of fifteen percent of g.d.p. and the deficit blow up and then that led to the fiscal crises but actually in the spain in the island was the private side of that eventually led to the problems of

having to bail out the banks large that is the greater the fiscal problem was on the fiscal problem the first place. so you know you cannot generalize there are different types of crisis within the eurozone. the us supreme court is refusing to hear an appeal filed by seven guantanamo bay prisoners ever being locked up for lengthy periods without even being charged that's aspired to president obama's electoral promise to close in a tourist facility for good and the worthington author of the quintile in the files believes such an approach makes a mockery of the entire us justice system. for the last two years and particular the d.c. circuit court said the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has been overriding that it's citizens that were made by the district court judges has been saying affectively 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 the judges were very impartially looking at the evidence and saying look you're calling upon the evidence of some of the prisoners fellow detainees you 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 refusals 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

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. more international headlines for you now. students in montreal are closing the latest protest over tuition fee hikes in canada they targeted the country's grand prix is on ongoing rallies at least thirty nine people being arrested for trying to disrupt leave it a few days ago demonstrators were subjected to tear gas and spreads and clashed with police students have been protesting for months demanding a freeze on tuition fees. that it states and south korea have held a joint military training three hour live fire exercise in a very old multiple launch rocket system. drill took place amid worry

that north korea could launch a third long range rocket test for april's failed attempts. american negotiators have left pakistan after weeks of efforts failed to reach a deal on reopening nato supply routes into afghanistan desirable band alliance convoys last year after an american drone strike killed twenty four local soldiers their hours intensified since then with similar tragedies involving service personnel and civilians jason did from antiwar dot com believes the u.s. no longer cares about winning pakistan's favor. 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 and stopping the drone strikes that end i don't think the administration is prepared to to make any concessions at all so i think this. tench relationship is just going to keep trying. to change a person join katie on the business there's her there katie so the european markets have just opened their what's happening yeah exactly zero is still concerned really that sort of the theme of the day i'd say kerry now the optimism we saw at the

beginning of the wake which is of course fueled by the spanish bank balance of one hundred twenty six billion dollars aig now seems to be a distant memory and that's because investors they will details and its concerns over the find it details that are sending spanish bonds higher surging by the most in four months now investors as i say they are continuing with caution and that's ahead of the greek election on the in the seventy eight and also possible federal reserve stimulus and european bank easing as well so let's have a look at the scene now i mean they've been open for about twenty minutes or so so it's certainly early days but as you can see both relatively flat reading just now there's been reports in the financial times that the european commission president jose manual but also said that the banks need to go beyond measures proposed last week and submit to a single cross border supervisor now he spoke about the need to go in terms of integration so this deeper problems that is still there and investors as i say not
