your with our carrie johnson a very warm welcome team now russia's opposition is getting back into protest mode with a march through central moscow now getting under way a similar rally in may descended into violent clashes with dozens of police officers injured and criminal cases filed against those who started the trouble well i've now to artie's grieves for more on this so. we're at the starting point what's happening where you are. still seeing people in large numbers arriving behind me at this starting point for the demonstration now there's definitely in the thousands highest twenty thousand have to bear in mind here does tend to be some discrepancy between the claims of activists and the claims of authority when
5:02 am
it comes to numbers at demonstrations now and in the past normal less doesn't seem like they've reached that fifty thousand has been officially sanctioned for this demonstration just yet and that's going to be the key question is can they. chief that as for those in attendance we already know that. head of the left front while he has arrived in attendance he talked opposition figureheads and when it comes to the others well we've got those from the left the communist party they've been maybe making their voices heard also from the far right as well nationalists indeed even the ultra nationalists we've seen those dressed in waffen s.s. uniforms as well they've been causing a stir as you might imagine this is really. just how much of a brother organization this white ribbon movement is indeed this whole mess started cropping them is the fact that even though they stand united against fire in pusan united against the rerun of for a rerun of disputed elections on their shortcomings is they lack he sure when it
5:03 am
comes to specific political ideologies now this march of the millions as been dubbed what's been attempted before in may then they didn't really come off all that well saw an estimated eight thousand people in attendance then and there's violence in the streets of moscow resort clashes between police and protesters and that's according to many was largely spurred by a fringe minority within the opposition movement itself but as a movement of speech suffering of late in terms of support thirty four were not on the back of the presidential elections just off those results were announced so far from his heyday just after the parliament cheer lections amid allegations of electoral fraud we have seen just yesterday police targeting some of the problems and to opposition activists the moment alexina bounty anticorruption blogger they raided his home they say is because of his involvement in orchestrating the may the sixth demonstration he was not alone when it came to those police raids it's quite interesting demonstration because on the back of major alleged to reform and change
5:04 am
when it comes to fines in place demonstrators could face more fines more punitive measures for disobeying and disrupting the peace as the the police. that could be anything to do with covering your face in public for instance when you're in a crowded mass place here is this sanction demonstration now when it comes to these demonstrations where there will be other taking place around russia today they're going to have more joyous nature there is celebrating this day day over russia but this the focus here at the moment is central moscow is just how many people can the opposition movement still manage to pull out onto the streets. ok for now jake greaves in central moscow thanks for that update. whether you can keep across the opposition rally in moscow at r.t. dot com and you can also watch live streaming pictures from where it's all taking place. now moving on now the syrian rebels increasingly coordinated
5:05 am
attacks on government forces and i side led government's heavy response or they just worry that the united nations secretary-general ban ki-moon personally voiced his concern his universe has reported intensified rebel activity ati's more of a national has latest now from within syria. u.n. morning to us have reported a heavy surge in recent week of rebels called a nation and attacks in response they say the syrian government has given the army too much freedom and too much free reign and the lads to dramatic increase in civilian dads one of the most stark in the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is they have e r two ribbon bodman to of the rebel stronghold backed by helicopter strikes in the central province of homes and again we've been receiving conflicting reports on exactly what happened there with opposition claiming the syrian army has been targeting the shall in the residential areas of the town while the government has
5:06 am
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 third of them army soldiers the u.n. secretary general ban ki moon has said that he's deployed concerned over the increasing violence 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 to 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 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 one nine hundred ninety s. 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
5:07 am
u.n. 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 stress that this up to assad to this. whether he wants to seize the violence and all atrocities in his country and fulfill the rebels' demands at the same time we know hague has threats that britain is aware of a kind of terrorist operating in syria saying that the international terrorist organization fuel the violence and could fuel this conflict so that and the west's message is somewhat mother old that assad is not responsible for all violence here in his country but he is being held responsible regardless for threats of a looming western intervention in syria are being greeted with enthusiasm by rebels there that has opposition forces along with the syrian army accused by the un of
5:08 am
using children as human shields international relations professor mark almond so for some regime change is the aim so much can be overlooked brunei states and britain france have made strategic decision by a long haul as a way of putting pressure on iran changing the. order of the middle east. if they can achieve through syrian domestic horses deniable or other arab special forces launch. surprise weapons or who do that but ultimately they will not accept the defeat assad's regime survived huge geopolitical so still a very one sided international. but of course would want to become a multi-sided conflict streaming dangerous and low risk of course of an explosion. so the mainstream media has been gunning for the syrian regime from the outset largely ignoring reports of rebel atrocities but persistently hounding them backed
5:09 am
by often contradictory soundbites but artie's it says our city or 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
5:10 am
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 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 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. 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
5:11 am
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 dumb 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 not 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 the make up you can always simulate a massacre that is not a current because misinformation 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
5:12 am
blotted white truth is many sides to it but when the wheels of the feel warmer things start serving up dollars that happen through the facts take a back seat first a lot of statements are often what sticks and even if corrections apologies come later the damage has already been done the plots are often the reverse of. just personal you are to me. well still to come this hour ignorance. is bliss on top of a personal deny justice as the u.s. turns a blind eye to those being held for years without even being charge for them. you want to miss them over spain's one hundred billion euro bailout crumbles the markets realize that even that's enough to bring about. 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 a middle east and the away says of democracy has attracted many africans fleeing
5:13 am
from violence in their homelands but their one way journey really has a happy ending point to say reports. of 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 dissident sudanese dissident 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 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
5:14 am
through the relatively poorest desert border with egypt israel is one of an impending demographic and economic crisis in the future these are people who experienced severe trauma in their native land in therefore they saw their villages burned down they were 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. i'm 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 they say have a group protection those from sudan and eritrea no matter what the circumstances cannot be simply 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 that we have this this is a really really scary we feel like very secure. now and then there will
5:15 am
be the acts 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 is radial forty's to imprison illegal immigrants for up to three years without a trial then assuming 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're demonized how they are called names is terrible i am ashamed i am 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. we've got the world covered at our two dot com including details on the
5:16 am
u.s. state to an obscure law says it will be ok to put a gun on a police officer. class so watch what you do on the web a russian tech security firm warns were in the midst of an international cyber war the same group 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 about what the tech firms are doing with your personal info and whether you can really keep anything secret anymore will it when artie during the sonship meets the cypherpunk movement who say they're fighting your corner. well my country if a million people have a security clearance and they're allowed to access that private four point three
5:17 am
million how can you call the data private right that's the problem rate is that it is not actually truly one hundred percent secret from every person on the know it is only secret from the people who are from the power of the powerful. 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 owned censorship there are changes in the architecture of the internet from one universal network to a balcony ization of small 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
5:18 am
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 the rest of 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 too to fight. yesterday in a sound just here at eleven thirty g.m.t. and if you've missed any of the series by catch all 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 the spanish banks the initial market optimism quickly evaporated spanish journalists miguel and schumer adam says that on top of all that broke and jobless
5:19 am
spaniards are being there 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 bailout countries when you're one hundred billion euro seen to any economy there. 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 bail out we need our banking system intact of course but people he's angry because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis the case of especially because of the property bubble and all that so people would be saying why bailout the banks very large to us we also need it and now it's i think why they're angry. well that star in 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
5:20 am
problems because of lack of fiscal discipline or fiscal reckless there's that applies to be the really only the greasy has to lie then there is a fifteen percent of g.d.p. . deficit blow up and then that led to the fiscal crisis that actually in spain in the island was the product cycle of that eventual led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large the deficit the greater the fiscal problem with on the 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 filed by seven guantanamo bay prisoners ever being locked up for lengthy periods without even being charged that's despite president obama's actual promise to close in a tourist facility for good and the worthington author of the guantanamo files
5:21 am
believes such an approach makes a mockery of the entire u.s. justice system. but the last two years 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 courts 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 you we also see here that you have actually said that you don't trust the statements that were made by
5:22 am
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 their church 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. a couple of other international headlines for you now the united states and south korea have held more joint military training three hour live fire exercises in northern volved a multiple known rocket system the drill took place amid worries that korea could launch a third long as a pause they would attempt. in heavy rains of course of flash flooding and
5:23 am
mudslides in taiwan killing four people who three thousand have been evacuated from across the island large swathes of the capital were submerged in the high floodwaters after a night of downpours potential rains are expected to last into wednesday. ok it is the latest business use force. which you can see what's going on hey kerry well you know that the russian markets are closed today is a public holiday has said right now i'm really concentrating on the international markets and there's certainly a lot to keep me occupied about european stocks that continuing to move higher or being cautiously now the markets look to stabilize and us off to the choppy session that we had driven by the package that the foundation banks so quite meeting investors expectations and that's because this is with some gaps in the details at
5:24 am
least that's what analysts are saying and i should say the first round off of this and our eyes are percent imposed to territory just want to what the u.k. is walks is just because of figures come out now to do with industrial production a drop for the fourteen consecutive month in april that's on an annual brace is also a manufacturing also declined as well for the period but the focus is still remaining optimistic and on the right hand for those about cyprus because we're talking about greece we talk about italy we're talking about all of those countries the room in trouble but cyprus may be the next on three boys for an international bailout no monday is finance minister him to have struck country may apply for financial aid before the end of the month in case economy finds it difficult to support banks which are highly exposed to grace as you can see the interlinked almost just the domino effect that we've got so it is a concern as you can see them. are listening from ok let's go to the asian markets
5:25 am
now they already closed but they were feeling the pressure from europe today as you can see the nikkei over percent down the hang around four tenths of a set in negative territory now as far as well investors are telling me right now they are holding on to their positions traders really don't want to move much this way cannot because you've got the greek election coming up on. seventeen of the holding on left his positions to really anticipate what's going to happen there because we could see greece exiting the euro zone and that's what a lot of people is already priced into the markets and moving on we'll have a look at the russian markets i did mention they already closed today so they won't open on stock today so this is how they closed on the results of ism in the i would you believe how much things can change in two days we had high oil and we also had the fact it was optimism in europe because that was before the spanish banking system has requested the one hundred and twenty six billion dollars in financial
5:26 am
aid and moving on and it's about ball carrier actually now now it's going to get eleven percent discount on not to pass it buys from russia i'm not starting from a roll was around one hundred twenty million dollars now the also is conditional on signing the south stream pipeline deal to bring not a true god to solve and your gas problem may find out the russian hold of the pipeline and then call that its losses from. pay that. all writers have a look at the variable and see how its initial sausage was it makes before minutes against the basket of currencies as you can see that they managed to lose out through the year and get against the u.s. dollar for the common currency right that is still dropping a one twenty four sixteen as it really digest all the tensions that are going at the moment and that's what all prices are doing as well now i've been talking about economics global economics but also want to talk about political tensions because they still very much remain when it comes to oil and discredit china has recently
5:27 am
said that all imports from iran off there and transparent also what it says well that accounts for forty percent of the world's oil production at that meeting almost forty of the jane and they're going to decide on how much production they're going to allow for the second part of the year so the oil markets are holding out for that one all right gary i was back in fifteen minutes with another update ok thanks for the update kitty. well now in just a couple of minutes we'll take another look at this hour's headlines.
5:28 am
there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something real. and i'm sure all of our got a story are out about that crazy lady with a convertible that honk for every time she bad. i was on death row for nineteen years there were more anything that
5:29 am
a lot of these say they don't know why i mentioned that because we might maybe just a little over a society has condemned these people as less than human it is necessary to punish crime and everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis and the sad part is the state of texas gets their way.
