hello it's five pm now here in moscow you're watching r t with me kevin i weigh in with you this hour on our top story a mass opposition rally is currently taking place in moscow thousands of people gathered for a demonstration in the center of the city paid for all of us there for us live in the past couple of hours fifteen minutes ago even this heavily sam dead in studio a great big crack of thunder there's been a big storm out there i think the rain has been lashing down as well i guess that's going to that in effect what has been happening over the last hours is the last spoke to you. well that's correct the weather has really been an issue in the past we've seen fungal lightning and an absolute deluge of rain clearing what was tens of thousands of people who study around an hour ago now there's a few hundreds at the front next to the stage listening to one of the bands that was scheduled for this evening is up to date now what we have seen is groups from the far left. to the far right it everywhere in between coming out to voice their.

unhappiness with the current government in russia what was worrying was a one of the largest groups that would here were a group of nationalists i'd say when i was on the march coming from which is guys square here to this street in central moscow i did see several people wearing what can only be described this variant of nazi uniforms including one woman wearing a take on the s.s. uniform fully equipped with a compound on wearing a russian nationalists symbol now there has been groups from all over the political spectrum ie russia today though. official figures said the around twenty thousand i think we might find out there were a few more than not here to listen to speeches on the stage behind me and then the groups that we've heard. the say the weather really coming into to disrupt the the afternoon says demonstration that was planned the actual rally itself was

sanctioned to go on until six o'clock moscow time not just about an hour from now. i guess that could be a crunch time whether those remaining people go peacefully because of course we recall the last opposition rally last month it did result in violent clashes didn't . well that's right what we saw at this site this demonstration on the march that preceded it were sanctioned by the moscow city government the incidents that we saw in may of this year which where the demonstrations were hijacked really by radical groups we saw some really violent outbursts in which both demonstrators and the police were were injured in those clashes now that resulted in an investigation and raids on the the houses of opposition leaders as police try to find out if they were involved in organizing any of of those violent clashes now it also resulted in changes in the law here in russia concerning non sanctioned demonstrations previously it had been around sixty euros that you would have been fined for taking

part in a an unsanctioned demonstration they change that law and attempt to bring it more in line with the the rules in europe could see anybody who takes part in a organizes a non sanctioned rally or demonstration being will hit pretty hard in the pocket around seven thousand euro fine that we put in place all around two hundred hours i believe of community service so these changes to the law were brought in to make sure that people didn't take part in un sanctioned rallies in this demonstration was expected to go on for another hour as they say the weather really putting a damper on that literally. but there are so there is still a heavy police presence here to make sure that anybody who does overstay their time it was a lot said to this demonstration that they will be be cleared off what is usually a very busy road in central moscow that's being shut specifically for this demonstration to spread all of the things that were coming across to again next hour and of course everything does happen for the course the next sixty minutes i'm

sure you'll update us as well now also bring you live updates as well from the rest of our team of correspondents keeping an eye on developments there posting the latest in artie's twitter feed you can watch live pictures to our cameras trained there to the kind of picture you just saw really a lot of security cameras the general security cameras in the street we've got the feed from focused on to what's happening streaming on our web site t. dot com. syria's been seeing spikes in violence on a daily basis u.n. observers now report not just offensive by government forces but also an increase in coordinated rebel attacks two conflicting reports about the number of victims and forces behind the violence of triggered conflicting reactions from world powers . in syria which brings us more. un 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 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 all 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 inshallah in the residential areas of the town while the government has been accusing the rebels of using civilians as human 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 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 nature's chief hinting at a possible intervention mr rasmussen has composed the events in syria today with those in the balkans they were in the one nine hundred ninety s. that led to bombardment of former yugoslavia 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 this 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 all kinds 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 message is somewhat

muddled that assad is not responsible for all violence here in his country but he is being held responsible regardless blaming president assad's forces for all the violence has been branded a deliberate p.r. campaign against the syrian regime but many experts parties test wristed a look back now at how similar tactics have been used before to justify military intervention in sovereign countries images like these. and words like these innocent civilians were beaten imprisoned and the violence 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 in a kuwaiti hospital to think abuse and let the 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 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 individual 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 bullets advertising terms have become war terms we talk about target we talk about strategy we talk about its impact 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 has not occurred because misinformation is easier to fall during

a period of war we 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 truth has many sides to it but when the wheels of the p.r. war machine start serving up dollars that happen through the fact take a back seat the first a lot of they are all but one stick and even if corrections apologies come later the damage that's already been done the questions are often the reverse of. just or so you are to me. coming up with a program one hundred billion euro burden investors say that some seven. spanish banks will be enough to cope with the crisis will make people continue to bear the brunt of austerity also promises are fulfilled father why inmates had one type of being denied the chance to continue their legal fight for freedom after being detained at the notorious facility that. will be charged. with the leaks founder

julian assange has asked britain supreme court now to reopen the case regarding his extradition to sweden almost two weeks after he lost his appeal there his lawyers challenge the legality of the previous ruling was said to be an unusual move the famous was the blow is wanted in sweden over sex crimes undergoing but his supporters fear is extradition will just be a step towards handing him over then eventually to the u.s. recently his contacts and acquaintances experience evidence of the pursuit of a surge some of them being l. for questioning tickly after taking part in this program that broadcast here on this channel r.t. and you watch the latest edition of fags over sanjay's latest show throughout the day today is the us activist from the cypherpunks movement about the invisible war over our future is being fought online right now. but the fundamental things that cypherpunks written recognize is that the architecture actually defines the political situation so you have a centralized architecture even if the best people in the world are in control of

it no matter where we look we can see especially with financial systems that effectively even if the people have the best of intentions it doesn't matter i mean the arc there sure is the truth it's true for the internet with regard to communications the so-called lawful intercept systems which are which is just a nice way of saying spying on people so you can use them. yeah absolutely lawful murder you've heard of a lot of a lot of rights on american citizens by the u.s. president obama you know when he killed on lorillard he's sixteen year old son in yemen that's it lawful murder or targeted killing as they put it right so so-called lawful intercept is the same thing you just put lawful in front of everything and then all of a sudden because the state does it it's legitimate but it's in fact the architecture of the state that allows them to do that at all and it is the architecture of the laws and the architecture of the technology just is the same as it's the architecture of financial systems and what the cypherpunks wanted to do was to create systems where we could compensate each other in a truly free way where it was not possible to interfere. i can

tell you can watch the second part of julian assange just talk with cypherpunks activists later. and if you missed the first part indeed that was the last week in cuts that old line while he waited for the second part so my website. the rescue package for spanish banks will come with strings attached knows the message from the e.u. as the european competition commission has said the loan will be supervised that of course contradicts comments from the country's prime minister who did decatur that the hundred billion euros of financial aid was different from the conditional bailouts of other e.u. states spend a. whole lot of other says the resolution of the country's troubles remains a distant prospect. when you're one hundred billion euro into any economy well you're likely to get a hike in shares into stock market of course that was to be expected but we've seen

that before in all their very large countries since the c.i.s. mirth 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 we have sort of this one out about we are still in big trouble the spanish government has been pushing a very very strict agenda of austerity cuts for months already certainly the banks have to be bailed out we need our banking system intact of course but people east anglia because the banks are actually at the root cause of this crisis in the case of spain because of the property bubble the cheap loans and all that so people would be saying why bailout the banks bailout us we also believe you know besides saying why they're angry. next hour on our team as well american economist nouriel roubini tells us where he thinks the euro zone's financial world could ultimately lead the union and the global economy. there is certainly risk that the

situation could become this or that in the eurozone like it is all of the early the fall of the an exit by. contagion with iran on the banks they made earlier spain and then there was market and then they eventually have that is the heart of the event that's not appreciably a few years down the line they also exit the euro zone in which case the euro zone you know breaks up and you could have a significant european and a global financial turmoil and then you could end up like japan with a long term stagnation and if another depression interest. israel is detaining dozens of african migrants in the first stage of the leadership's plan to deport over four thousand people from the country. it's after the government initially welcomed the refugees who were trying to escape violence in their homeland but as artie's paula slayer found out they face further strife upon their return home i thought that. the sudanese are

a cancer in our body who will do everything to return them to their lands strong words from a politician in the country built by those who survived the holocaust. sudanese dissidents sudanese dissident and even stronger words inciting racial hatred against african migrants the. 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 are calling for a verse that the we need to expel the info treaters from the lands of israel and we shouldn't be afraid to use that word many of the so-called infiltrators have already been expelled once feeling poverty violence of authoritarian rule some sixty thousand of them have crossed illegally into israel through the relatively poorest does it border with egypt israelis 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 or trees who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere in torture camps in sinai and then a new struggle stars for their own. 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 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 a leg they should look into the eyes of visa africans who fled violence and despair and think about what they're doing to see how they were demonized how they were 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. tel aviv. awful lot more few online our website r.t. dot com a perilous place for babies find all of this annual ritual of in spanish town aimed at balancing evil spirits from new boards being facebook you know figure looks

about three dot com. and cyber war into the new era with the two latest most dangerous virus attacks orchestrated by the same group according to leading the russian the internet security law because spur ski going to get speed on that story is print bigger the news this week so our website. you're watching r.t. the us supreme court refused to hear appeals far by seven guantanamo bay inmates challenging the legality of the detention without ever being charged this continues to harlow than president barack obama's failed election promise to permanently shut down the prison author of the guantanamo files only worthington believes the judge's mentality is exposing with the flaws in the country'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's citizens 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 need this court was a 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 that judges were very impartially looking at the evidence and 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 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 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. let me briefly if you will on some other world news headlines as many as one hundred people feared dead after two weeks of rattled northern afghanistan rescue crews are continuing to search for survivors after a tremor sparked a massive landslide is buried dozens of homes damaged has been reported across five districts there with only a few people so far being pulled out from the rubble alive but the quake was so big it was felt as far away as the capital kabul one hundred seventy kilometers south.

in northwest pakistan a commander of anti taliban forces a survived an attack from a suicide bomber but his bodyguards were killed the local tribal leader was in his car when the explosive set off two other people were injured in the attack which comes just days after a similar strike killed nineteen on a bus carrying government employees no one's paying responsibility for either incident. egypt's former president hosni mubarak said to be in a stable condition after doctors work to revive him when his heart stopped twice but the country's official news agency has denied that mubarak went into a coma as some reports have suggested the eighty four year old's health has worsened over the last few days the former leader's no in a cairo prison hospital serving a life term for his role in the killing of hundreds of protesters during last year's uprising. but it's really a half minutes past five in the evening here in moscow let's get across the business i spy dmitri medvedev the business test pilot u.s. markets and of course by the kickoff now it's been a quiet day in moscow in oh yeah in moscow it's a day off basically because it's

a national holiday but the u.s. futures are pointing to a positive start we've had a bit of a choppy trade pretty much this week so far this is all ahead of the greek elections let's take a look at what's going on in europe so far now it's trading flat to positive we've had a bit of a downside yesterday movement but right now it's pointing to just point three percent up now there's been reports in the financial times that the european commission president jose manuel barroso who has said the e.u. banks need to go beyond measures proposed laws we can submit to a single cross border supervisor so this is driving markets rather than. in cyprus may be the next country poised for an international bailout on monday its finance minister hinted that the cash strapped country may apply for financial aid before the end of this month that's in case the economy finds it difficult to

support banks which are highly exposed. over in asia we've also had a negative session of following losses down downside in the united states overnight on monday basically the nikkei is down one percent as the i.m.f. hints that the yen is overvalued and that japan needs to do something about that over here in russia as kevin mentioned it's a national holiday and trading is off we will have some trade tomorrow this is these are saturday figures if anyone wants the books and yesterday i was telling you that it's kind of complicated the way things work on the trading markets this year a lot of working saturdays to give people many days off there was a pretty good session. leading up to a very good week basically one of the best weekly gains of this year so far. and also garia will get an eleven percent discount on natural gas that is buying

from russia starting from april that's worth around one hundred twenty million dollars the offer is conditional on signing the south stream pipeline deal to bring natural gas to southern and central europe gazprom a finance both russian and bulgarian part of the pipeline and then covered mostly from france a place. which brings us to the commodities markets and oil is seeing its ups and downs pretty much just like the currency market we're seeing light sweet now twenty five cents for hovering about eighty three dollars per barrel the saudi arabian oil minister has been quizzed by reporters yesterday of comments that he made in the beginning of july that opec might need to in larger production and he said maybe there was a need for higher group production and this is creating downside pressure on the brands and the euro is regaining some of the positions it's hovering around the one point two five mark versus the dollar as versus assess the risks that could arise the following as this or that outcome of the greek elections on sunday the seventh

of june. that's the way the markets look at this ok all right thanks for that and just a few minutes later julian assange show on air right here today about whether or not it's possible to keep anything secret in the world of modern communications straight out of the headlines for you in three minutes time. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.
