6:05 am
u.-n. morning to us have reported a heavy surge in recent weeks 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 rein and that all the lads. dramatic increase in civilian dads one of the most stark in the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is a happy hour to reboard moment of the rebel stronghold backed by helicopter strikes in the central province of holmes and again we've been receiving conflicting reports on exactly what happened there with opposition claim in the syrian army has been targeting inshallah in the residential areas of the town and 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 deployed concerned over the increasing violence here in syria and has called on all countries with influence on
6:06 am
both the rebels and syrian government to call an old colleges 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're hearing claims of completely different nature from another international organization with a surge of violence has been seized on by nature's chief hinting at a possible intervention mr rasmussen has compared the events in syria today with those in the balkans during the nine hundred ninety s. that led to nato is bombardment of former yugoslavia the alliances chief has cited that unless you and reached a unified solution nato might intervene on its own without un approval and without u.n. support we've also been hearing a lot about military intervention recently from both you and nato member britain foreign secretary william hague has said that this scenario cannot be ruled out because also stressed that this up to assad to disk. whether he wants to seize the
6:07 am
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 all kind of terrorist operating in syria saying 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 responsible regardless. correspond to syria there for national with the threats of a looming western intervention in syria being greeted with enthusiasm by rebels there that as opposition forces along with the syrian army are accused by the un of using children as human shields international relations prefer some are goldman says for some regime change is the same and much can be overlooked. but high states or britain france have made a strategic decision by a long haul as a way of putting pressure on iran change in. the middle east or if they can
6:08 am
achieve that through their interest of horses deniable. the arab special. surprise weapons or whether. they would not wish to accept a defeat regime survived. for still a very one sided international call. but of course to become a multi sided culture extremely dangerous and there is a risk of course. the mainstream media has been gunning for the syrian regime from the outset largely ignoring reports of rebel atrocities while persistently hounding a sad but by often contradictory soundbites but artie's test for a sitter explains next to some is 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
6:09 am
protect civilians are often would 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
6:10 am
in a kuwaiti hospital think it is and let these children today 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 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
6:11 am
about strikes again we talk about its impact if this is terrible 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 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 blotted white truth has many sides to it but when the wheels of the feel warmer things start serving up polish that happens the facts take a back seat the first a lot of they are often what sticks and even if corrections apologies come later the damage has already been done the plots are off the river
6:12 am
for the. tougher still you are to me part still to come ignorance is. tunnel or bay prisoners are denied justice as the u.n. turns a blind eye to those being held for years even being charged with any crime more on that ahead and also optimism over spain's one hundred billion euro bailout crumbles now as markets realize that not even vat's enough to bring them back from the brink . israel is arrested dozens of sudanese refugees in the first stage of its plan to deport more than fifty thousand african nationals the country started self as the middle east the only way says a democracy and as attracted many africans fleeing from violence in their homes but now their one way journey really has a happy ending this policy of. the sudanese are a cancer in our body the will do everything to return them to their. strong words from a politician in the country but by those who survived the holocaust. sudanese dissident
6:13 am
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 is only politicians who are calling first. we need to expel the infiltrates was from the lands 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 or before a tear in will some sixty thousand of them have crossed illegally into israel through the relatively poorest does that border with egypt is really 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 in the trees who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere in torture camps in sinai and then
6:14 am
a new struggle stars for that. is really say most come seeking work rather than refugee. 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 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
6:15 am
a controversial law that will allow israel 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 easy africans who fled while ns 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'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. because it will cover to it r.t. dot com our web site including details on the u.s. state where an obscure law says it can be ok to pull a gun on a police officer starting dot com we want to find out more about that also what should you do on the web a russian tech security firm is warning rhythm it's right now of the international cyber war orchestrated by the same group behind two of the most damaging campaigns
6:16 am
to date again so interesting story it's revealed online at r.t. dot com. and while we're talking about high tech high tech gadgets some software is supposed to make our lives much simpler but to do it they have to gather our private data and there's a fear now over what the tech firms are doing with our personal info and whether you can really keep anything secret anymore in the next julian assange meets the cyberpunk movement who say they're fighting our 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 pillow it is only secret from the people who are from the power of the powerful. when we talk
6:17 am
about internet censorship it is about centralizing the power to determine what people remain be able to access or not and whether it's government censorship or also private on censorship there are changing 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
6:18 am
that global universal internet is the only tool we still have between our hands to sort of 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 too to fight. and you are on here with you just over an hour's time if you mystery the rest of the series so far you can catch it all whenever you like on our website r.t. dot com all the dishes ready to stream whenever you'd like. a hundred billion euros is not enough to allay the pain is that is the message being signaled by investors just days after the euro zone agreed to an enormous bailout for spanish banks the initial market optimism quickly evaporated a spanish journalist 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 of austerity cuts for months already we've seen that
6:19 am
before in all their bailout countries when you one hundred billion euro seem to only 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 spain even in a recession certainly the banks have to be bailed out we need our banking system intact of course but people each time because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis the case of a spain because of the property bubble the cheap launch and all that so people would be saying why very loud bangs very loud to us we also need to be citing why they're angry and they did bit later this hour on 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 problems because of lack of his car the discipline or fiske of reckless those that applies the really the only only the brits who is there lie then there is the
6:20 am
fifteen percent of g.d.p. . that is it and then that led to the fiscal crisis that actually in the in spain in the island was the private side of that about to lead to the problems of having to bail out the banks large there for the greater fiscal problem was not with his core problem the first place. you cannot generalize there are different types of cries within the eurozone. next the u.s. supreme court refusing to hear an appeal filed by seven guantanamo bay prisoners over being locked up for lengthy periods without even being charged thus despite president obama's electoral promise to close the notorious facility for good the worthington author of the files believes such an approach makes a mockery of the entire u.s. justice system for the last two years in particular the d.c. circuit court so the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has
6:21 am
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 made this call was a 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 learn your calling of 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
6:22 am
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 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. couple top world news stories right now the united states and south korea hold more joy military training this live fire exercise in the northern valley evolved multiple launch rocket systems but drill took place amid worries that north korea could launch a third long range rocket followed by a process. heavy rains and cause flash flooding and mudslides in taiwan which killed four people more than three thousand been evacuated from across the island now large swathes of the capital was submerged too with new high floodwaters after a night of drenching rains are expected to last until wednesday. committed twenty
6:23 am
three minutes past two in the afternoon moscow time is going to call for the biggest business no. course is a public holiday here in russia today the rest of the world carries on regardless what we've got for us yeah exactly so it's quiet here in moscow the markets are closed heaven as you say so i am concentrating on the international markets in the certainly lots to keep me occupied now there are some of his i just want to say as well they did close up high on saturday but of course that was before spain requested the one hundred twenty six billion dollars in the bank of the european stocks as i say they are indeed open now they all gaining but they're cautiously gaining now after an incredibly choppy session that we had and i just want to mention as well that spanish bond yields are continuing to climb dangerously high so as you can see see there are four tenths of percent it does on six tenth's of percent up in positive territory also what about the there's been some news coming

6:25 am
. policy easing is beginning to find some traction as you can see the. growth in the k. and the hang seng i should say finished up down the last because the initial optimism that we saw coming from the spain banking bailout that the last completely during the end of the session and that's because details in the deal on the power and investors they want it to be more transparent they want more details on the wall and i was happening all right let's move on now i did mention russia so let's have a look at how they closed up on saturday and you see that they did end up higher and that's because it was higher oil on saturday and it was also optimism ahead of the head of despair india as i say let's talk about well gary. now is going to get eleven percent discount on the national guard bars from russia from. around one hundred twenty million dollars the offer is conditional on signing the south stream
