and there with opposition claiming the syrian army has been targeting and shalyn the residential areas of the town while the government has been accusing the rebels of using civilians as human shoot during these attacks death toll yesterday alone stood at sixty three people according to opposition sources with more than a third of them army soldiers the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon has said that he's deeply concerned over the increasing violence here in syria and has called on all countries with influence on both the rebels and syrian government to call on all parties to stop while stop atrocities to lay down arms and to pull back as he put it from the brink at the same time we are hearing claims of a completely different nature from another international organization with a surge of violence has been seized on by nato chief hinting at a possible intervention mr rasmussen has compared the events in syria today with those in the balkans during the nineteen nineties that led to bombardment of former

yugoslavia the alliances chief has said that unless you and reached a unified solution nato might intervene on its own without un approval and without un support we've also been hearing a lot about military intervention recently from both un and nato member britain foreign secretary william hague has said that this scenario cannot be ruled out because also stressed that it's up to assad to decide whether he sees the violence and all atrocities in his country and fulfill the rebels' demands at the same time we know hague has stressed that britain is aware of a kind of terrorist operating in syria that the international terrorist organization could fuel the violence and could fuel this conflict so that and the west's message is somewhat muddled that assad is not responsible for all violence here in his country but he is being held with. possible regardless.

of syria's and your opposition leader has also that mass defections from the regime and promised support for the rebels on top of that he u.s. senator john mccain says arab gulf states are supplying fighters with weapons and wants to see washington do the same first of international ations our government says the u.s. will mean true to its idea of regime change the united states and britain and france have made strategic decision they want the hall of mirrors away or 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 launch. supplies weapons or most of that ultimately they will not wish to accept a defeat in assad's 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 like a big role 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 other christ of their own soldiers they saw what have you know iraq still a very one sided international calls. but of course would want to become a multi-sided conflict that were extremely dangerous and lower the risk of course of an explosion in this region. for the mainstream media has been hot on the syrian regime from the outset largely ignoring reports of rebel the choices of persistently hounding asset backed by often contradictory soundbites but as artie's attacks are similar explains for some it's part of a first strike affected by decades of practice. images like these. and words like these innocent civilians were beaten imprisonment 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. 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 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 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 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 is also a very thin line between that end. and keep weapons of mass destruction out right manipulation as many would point to the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction 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 billet 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 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 during the 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 at the first and loudest they are often what sticks and even if corrections apologies come later the damage has already been done what are often the reverse of the. tougher sell you are to me. so the come this hour ignorance

is bliss what on a basic business i did not justice us turns a blind eye to those being held he is 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 it's. back on the brink. now russia's opposition is getting back into protest mode the planned botched through central mosque a due to start in about an hour a similar rally in may descended into violent clashes with dozens of police officers injured in criminal cases filed against those who started the trouble greece is across the story now in the sense that for such a cook all the right is due to start soon there's a lot today's turnout what will meet the organizers expectations. well despite some quite mish who are times where bird does seem like everyone's spirits be down for the so we are still seeing more and more people arriving at the site now we're

still just about a couple of thousand facts of how the moment jeffrey not the fifty thousand officially sanctioned for this demonstration now when it comes to those in attendance see a real amalgamation becomes the political spectrum but those on the very far left the congress pass and also there those on the very far right the nationalist party there in attendance as well now something very similar also dubbed the march of millions was attempted back in may i was just ahead of the inauguration of that amir putin as president there we saw really pulling very short of the expected turnout's with an estimated score some certain amounts eight thousand people in attendance on the day that was course marred by violence still clashes between protesters and police of the day so now when it comes to this protest movement the white ribbon moonalice as it's been dubbed was really had a bit of a full rough ever since the presidential elections ever since those results were announced in terms of people willing to come out onto the streets and voice their

support and how does a day speak just after the parliamentary elections based allegations of electoral fraud because those organizers involved in this a happy very pivotal well police told them just yesterday a few rays were launched among them a lesson about the anti corruption blow to his home was raided now the police say they did this because of their leisure involvement in organizing the may the six demonstrations that did in fact turn violent it's going to quite interesting demonstration to watch as because it comes just after some key legislation is being passed this will raise the fines in place for anyone to disobey what's called civil order so that could include many things so when it comes to un sanctioned demonstrations we turn out we could face quite a hefty fine even for sanction demonstrations like this. if you're to cover your face again you could be paying quite a substantial fine for that now the backers of this bill say it's there to keep on killing public peace public order but there are others and there are those critics

who say that really this is mainly about having some sort of financial penalty in place to keep people at home to keep them from coming out and demonstrating protests they know will be other rallies all the straightest throughout the course of the day of course that is day over rushes they will probably be much more jubilant in nature but the focus here is going to be whether or not they can get those numbers out on the streets today because this speech six months in is starting up since it started out this movement still doesn't really have a leader to rally behind they still lacks according to many analysts in terms of political. ideology to unite this movement. for now a crease in central moscow thank you for that update. now israel has arrested dozens of sudanese refugees in the first stage of its plan to deport more than fifty thousand african nationals the country stands itself as

a middle east away says of democracy is attracted many africans fleeing from violence in their homelands but the one way journey rarely has a happy ending point to slee reports. i thought that. the sudanese are a cancer in our body 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 to sit down and even stronger words inciting racial hatred against african migrants. 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 infiltrators from the land 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 will some sixty thousand of them have crossed illegally into israel through the relatively poorest does it 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 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 there without work permits and denied the most basic rights like shelter and food i feel

very scary that most 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 towards the refugees and their 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 for its he's to imprison illegal immigrants for up to three years without a trial then assume a leg they should look into the eyes of these africans who fled violence and despair and think about what they're doing to see how they were demonized how they were called names it's 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. tel aviv. or you've got the world covered at r.t. dot com including details of the us state obscure on law says it can be ok to pull a gun on a police officer. or us watch what you do on the web russian tech security for one square in the midst of an international side toward the same people behind it to the most damaging campaigns to date. high tech gadgets and software are supposed to make our lives much simpler but to do it's they have to get your private data base for their way of what the tech firms are doing with your personal information whether you can really keep anything secret anymore with a two hour t.j.

renaissance meets the cypherpunk movement they say they're fighting your corner. one might even million people have a security clearance and they're allowed to access that private data or four point three million how can you call the data private or right that's the problem right is that it is not actually truly one hundred percent secret from every person on the pillow it is. only secret from the people who are from the pearl of the powerful. when we talk about internet censorship it is about centralizing the power to get online what people 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 broken ization of small seven 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 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 disorder rebels and 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 this are just heritage and thirty g.m.t. and if you've missed any of the series so far you can catch all the editions and r.t. dot com. now one hundred a billion the euros is still not enough to allay the e.u. spain's that's the message being signaled by investors just days after the euro

zone agreed to an enormous bailed out the spanish banks initial market optimism quickly evaporated spanish journalists me galen chamorro says that on top of all that broken jobless spaniards are being left to fend for themselves. spanish government has been pushing a very very strict agenda austerity cuts for months already we've seen that before in all their bailout countries when you know one hundred billion euro seem to any economy there is sense to see as much 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 the sangria because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis in the case of especially because of the property bubble the cheap loans and all that so people would be saying why bailout the banks bailout us we also need to be citing why they are angry. now later this hour an r.t.

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 problem is because of lack of fiscal discipline or fiske of reckless there's that applies really the only only degrees c. has to lie then. that is of fifteen percent of g.d.p. . deficit and then that led to the fiscal crisis that actually in spain in the island was the product cycle that eventually led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large deficit the greater the fiscal problem was on the fiscal problem the first place. so you cannot generalize there are different types of cries within the eurozone. the u.s. supreme court is refusing to hear an appeal filed by seven the guantanamo bay prison is being locked up for lengthy periods without even being charged that's

despite of president obama's of actual promise to close in the tourist facility for good and the worthington author of the guantanamo files believes such an approach makes a mockery of the entire used justice system. for the last two years and particular the d.c. circuit court so the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has been overriding the 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 hey this court has 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 were 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 refusals to release people regardless of where 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. well small international headlines for you now students in montreal have shared good clues in their latest protest over hearts and turn of the talk to the country's no previous party. with at least thirty nine people being

arrested for trying to disrupt the event few days ago demonstrators were subjected to pepper sprays they clashed with police students have been protesting for months to money a freeze on judicial fees. not to states and south korea have held more joint military training. by rex a size thirty four a multiple launch rocket systems. means that. the launch control test following. every rains have caused flash flooding and mudslides in taiwan killing four people and three thousand evacuees from across the yard and large swathes of the capital were submerged in flood waters after a night of downpours potential rains are expected to last until wednesday. well it's time for

a look at the business news now over to you katie was what's going on everywhere the european stocks they're now moving cautiously higher the markets are looking to stabilize. pride and that was driven by the disappointment over the bad package this now it s. is they want these houses the final details that they want that they're still not happy you know price is still up in the and it's maybe because of the jails as well the spanish while they are edging towards dangerous. now investors are continuing with course and as i say and all of that as well is that the greek election is coming out of june the seventeenth just a week or so for that we've also got concerns that the federal reserve. the european bank will have to step in as well to really fuel growth as you can see the sea and the dots as they say we do have gains but they are indeed modest if we look

at the asian markets will be able to see how they got and say if they posted. losses as you can see the nikkei is now closed over a percent in negative territory the i.m.f. as well was saying that the yen is far too strong the japanese currency and saying that it does need some intervention in order to bring it in line with the rest of the global currency is because as far as exposures are concerned a strong currency is quite frankly a nightmare now we've got the hang signs as well china as they did post some really optimistic export data earlier on in the wake and that was fueling optimism but that has appeared to have died because of the european sovereign debt crisis continuing to run. its have a look at how the u.s. markets closed yesterday the dow jones was lower for the first session five as you can see i wanted to mention apple as well and i was just reading about this now. the stock has seventy five to say you believe that my goodness may now that is

impressive also thirty billion apps have now been sold by our four now i'm talking to a fool because yesterday it was in the headlines over stateside and that is because they have come out with new software technologies because they want to. talk about the russian market because i want to say it's actually a holiday here in russia right now yesterday and today the markets are closed investors are enjoying some leisure time so right now you're looking at the close of business stuff today they were open. consolation and they were higher and that's because over the weekend we had a little optimism. would get a bailout and that has happened but it's not quite as restive as that we would have hoped so there was optimism on saturday also we. high oil prices and sauce as well which were helping out the moscow markets i'm going to talk about spoke area now now is did they get an eleven percent discount on the natural gas it buys from us is starting from april and it's worth about one hundred and twenty eight million

dollars the offer is conditional on signing the south stream pipeline delivering natural gas to solvent and central europe may find both the brush and hold for the pipeline as they cover its losses from transit. alright let's see the ruble that is see how about a fan based on a game is not trading today because of the holiday and we've also got the euro dollar to look at as well which is actually declining this eyes dropped slightly off to having a job in yesterday's session the good old prices now now trading at their lowest level in a month because the opec meeting on june the fourth they're set to discuss production for the second halls of the shia as well and i pad account for forty percent of the world's oil production. and we also have at the prices they are indeed declining are i that not the market's not be back in about fifteen minutes gary ok thanks for

that katie. about twenty minutes from now we gauge the mood among the russian football squad so you're up for the euro twenty twelve clash with host president first the headlines stay with us.

that's how the main headlines. noted nations observers reporters saw rise in the rebel attacks on syrian forces as nato chief incite a possible. god backing. russian opposition activists gear up for another massive rally. after a similar demo last march led to clashes trend on the way. and israel begins implementing its plan to expel more than fifty thousand african refugees it's not seen as a racist. democracy. when next every now and economist who predicted the two thousand and eight global financial crisis the real

roubini gives us his forecast of what we can expect next and whether europe can weather the storm. 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 light at 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 vang's financial institutions corporates now as a result of the response to their cries is this god's theme of those bailing out banks and there is of a massive surge in public that and that seats and now there is a risk of conferees as opposed to individuals or bangs.
