may of this year we sold by flare ups seeing both police and demonstrators demonstrators injured after the rally was hijacked by by radical groups no not his problem to the best from today's investigation and raids in fact on the searching of opposition leaders houses to see if they had anything to to do with instigating those problems in may of this year we've also seen tougher laws put in place for anybody taking part in an unregistered demonstration now what this means is that some to the new law signed by the president you could face a fine of up to seven thousand euro over fifteen days in a jail cell if you all get eyes or take part in an unsanctioned demonstration not just the highlight quickly what that means is that this demonstration events are expected to run on for the next four hours or so but anybody taking calls all refusing to leave after that time is up will be taking part in an unsanctioned demonstration and there is a very visible. very large police presence on hand to make sure that after these

6:05 am
stark in the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is the having to rebuild bodman to 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 claiming the syrian army has been targeting the shall in the residential areas of the town while the government has been accusing the rebels of using civilians as shoot during these attacks death toll yesterday alone 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 in syria and has called on all countries with influence on both the rebels and syrian government to call on all colleges 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 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 said 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 sad that this scenario cannot be ruled out and he's also stressed that this up to assad to decide. 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 her has traps that britain is aware of al qaida terrorists
6:07 am
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 mother hold 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 coleman says for some regime change is the aim and much can be overlooked. the united states and britain and france have made a strategic decision by a long haul as a way of putting pressure on iran change in. the middle east and therefore if they can achieve through syrian domestic horses and deniable. other arab special.
6:08 am
surprise weapons or whether. they would not wish to accept a defeat regime survived it would be a huge geopolitical so still a very one sided international call. but of course to become a multi-sided extremely dangerous low risk of course of an explosion. 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 tests are a sinner explains next 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
6:09 am
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. even in spite of. the lies told over iraq the same stereotypes 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. twelve 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 cold. her testimony was widely publicized and cited by politicians in justifying
6:10 am
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 is 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 fillets advertising terms have become war terms we talk about targets we talk about strikes again 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
6:11 am
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 pull during a period of war the first need to get it even when history is full of examples to learn from some say people's collective memories are simply too short reality is hardly ever block it white has many sides to what the weather will be a warm up things start serving up polish to pop it back to take a back seat first a lot of take off but what stick and even if corrections apologies come later the damage that's already been done but so far off the river for the. dozen or so 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 without even being charged with any crime
6:12 am
but head and also iraq to resume 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 stars himself 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 its policy of. i thought that even. the sudanese are a cancer in our body the will do everything to return them to their lines are strong words from a politician in the country built by those who survived the holocaust. sudanese dissident sudanese to sit down and even stronger words inciting racial hatred against african migrants. point minister benjamin netanyahu has
6:13 am
boasted loud that israel is the only democracy in the middle east and yet it is only politicians who are calling for the first that vehicle we need to expel the infiltrators from the lands of israel and we shouldn't be afraid to use not. 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 warn 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 return as who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere in torture camps in sinai and then a new struggle starts for them. is really say most come seeking work rather than a future. and when it comes to growing crime figures the newcomers make convenient scapegoats but the government cannot deport the migrants or say have
6:14 am
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 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 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 the leg that they should look into the eyes of visa africans
6:15 am
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 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. because it will coverage with r.t. dot com our website including details from the us state where an obscure law says it can be ok to put a gun on a police officer starting with 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 to date again so interesting story it's revealed online at r.t. dot com.
6:16 am
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 cyber pearl movement to say they're fighting our corner. well my country if a new in 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 rate 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 but 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
6:17 am
government censorship or also private on censorship there are tinging the architecture of the internet from one universal network to a bulk and 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 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
6:18 am
a central fight that we have to fight and that we all have a responsibility here to to to fight. and to do sanjay is here and here with you just over an hour's time if you mr the rest of the series so far you can catch it all whenever you like on our website r.t. dot com all the patients ready to stream whenever you'd like. hundred billion euros is not enough to allay the e.u. spain's 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 who says that on top of all that broken jobless spaniards are being left to fend for themselves. despite his government has been pushing a very very strict agenda of austerity cuts for months already we've seen that before in all their bailout countries when you put one hundred billion euro see into any economy there is sense to see us murder for
6:19 am
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 the sangria because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis the case of especially because of the property bubble the cheap loans and all that so people would be saying why bailout of the banks bailout 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 fiscal discipline or fiske of reckless those that applies would be the really only the great. ally then there is the fifteen percent of g.d.p. . that is it and then that led to the fiscal crisis that actually in spain in the
6:20 am
island was the part of the cycle that eventually led to the problems of having to bail out the banks large there for the greater the fiscal problem with on the fiscal problem the first place. so you cannot generalize there are different types of cries within the eurozone. next the u.s. . courts 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 said the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has been overriding that it seems that were made by the district court judges has been saying affectively anything that the government says we should be treating as
6:21 am
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 look you're 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 supposed to do but there's been these persistent refusals to release people regardless of how they're judged and i think that makes
6:22 am
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. couple top 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 a drill took place amid worries that north korea could launch a third long range rocket followed by a pulls. 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 submerged to a new high flood waters off to a night of drenching rains are expected to last until wednesday. committed twenty three minutes past two and a half time is going to call for the biggest business no. recourse is probably
6:23 am
whole of a year in russia today 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 this 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 dating 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 you see there are four tenths of percent it does on six tenths of the set up in positive territory also what about jim there's been some news coming out of the u.k. i just recently industrial production it's dropped from forty eight consecutive thousand an annual basis in april while manufacturing also declined as well good talk about
6:24 am
cypress now this isn't baby than it's country poised for an international bailout so monday is finance minister hinted the cash strapped country may apply for financial aid before the end of this month in case the economy. finds it difficult to support banks which are highly exposed to grace and i also wanted to mention in germany as well where this is now the. national polls have come out saying that people are against helping out the peripheral countries so they certainly won't want to hear about another country in trouble. moving on if we can take a look at the asian markets we see that they closed up on the back earlier today uh there's been some news come out to do with the chinese banking lending to households and corporations actually expanded in may now that's significant because beijing's policy easing is beginning to find some traction as you can see the. growth in the k.
6:25 am
and the hang seng i should say it is stop down the last because the initial optimism that we saw coming from the spain banking bailout that lost completely during the end of the session and that's because details in the deal on 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 also optimism ahead of the head of the spain deal 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 pipeline to bring natural gas to solvent and sent to europe gas problem may find out the russian parts of the pipeline and then cover its loss from transit payments
6:26 am
i will have a look at how the group will finish up as well it was indeed a mixed performance that managed to lose out to the euro again against the u.s. so you can see as well that the euro dollar is managing to gain that it's got one twenty five forty. the trade is favorite pair this hour did mention oil there's also want to talk about now is calling for a fourth day and that says the saudi arabia or minister said that which comes from forty percent of the world's production of oil they're going to need to see that out as well also the u.s. has also made some exemptions from the countries start to do with the embargo that we're talking about so this international crisis is well polling into that so what that means is it's cutting the risk of. disruptions all right because they're taking countries out of the exemption. all right have enough i'll be back in fifteen minutes clear as mud. but it would think you know twenty minutes from now
6:27 am
6:28 am
6:30 am
is r t from moscow it's kevin owen with the headline update here russian opposition activists launch another mass rally in moscow today with a reported twenty thousand people taking part but a high nationalist turnout sparking fears the demo may not run as peacefully as intended with people across that story all afternoon for you also united nations observers report a sharp rise in rebel attacks on syrian forces as nato zone chief hints at a possible armed incursion regardless of u.n. backing. that israel begins implementing its plan to expel more than fifty thousand african refugees as what see there's a racist purging policy deepens in the self-styled oasis of democracy. next a renowned economist who predicted the two thousand and made global financial crisis speaks to us no real robina gives his forecast of what we can expect next
6:31 am
whether europe can weather the storm. mr beattie 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 all we middle in the beginning or maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel and the krises morphed into pozen a six was a problem of too much or had that kind of leverage of the private sector households bangs financial institutions corporates now as a result of the response to their cries is this comes theme of those bailing out banks and there is of a massive surge in public debt and that sits and now there is a risk of conferees as opposed to individuals or bangs going badly.
