six pm here in moscow welcome if you just joined us this is r.t. it's kevin owen here with you this hour with our top stories and a mass opposition rallies taking place this afternoon in moscow tens of thousands of people gathered for a demonstration in the center of the city paid for all of us following the protests and brings us more about the people taking part. what we have seen is groups from the far left the far right it everywhere in between coming out to voice their. unhappiness with the current government in russia 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 it's got a square city's streets in central moscow i did see several people wearing what can only be described as variants 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 of the protests the demonstration on the march of

both being very peaceful from all sides seeing as you say there there was worries about the the number of nationalists and the message that they were putting across but it doesn't seem like that's flared up any problems of course in the last demonstration we saw in moscow in may that was really hijacked by some radical groups we saw violent clashes and sometimes extreme violent clashes seeing both the police and demonstrators enjoy it so 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 people day to day because in violations of the law demonstrations these include things like wearing masks to cover your face with nazi fast defines in fact up to around seven thousand euro for forward to seeing an unsanctioned rally now this brings us russian government

concerned russia in line with the other european countries that have in some cases much stiffer penalties for breaking the law at demonstrations. played all over their member more pictures more videos of the rally available on our website r.t. dot com of history we have pictures all afternoon that we've got the best pictures of them online for. catch up with what's happened. in syria has 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 on the number of victims and forces behind the violence have triggered conflicting reactions from world powers how it is more if an option is in syria shows the latest. 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 too dramatic increase in civilian dads one of the

most stark in the recent example of this fresh wave of violence here in syria is the heavy artillery bombardment 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 and 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 here in syria and has called on all countries with influence on 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 they were in the one nine hundred ninety s. that led to nature's bombardment of former yugoslavia 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 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. has stressed that britain is aware overall qaida terrorists 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 but 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 test for a sort of looks back 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 but 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 abuse and let the children to die of a cold. 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 about strikes again we talk about its impact if this is terrible it is also a weapon in the war because all wars not are broadcast live and these images contemptuous world opinion with you but it's already been done several times in the past change the face of war to bring the bodies to make up you can always simulate a massacre that has not occurred it was misinformation it is easy 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 feel warmer things start serving up almost the opposite the facts take a back seat the first a lot of statements are often what sticks and even if corrections apologies come later the damage that's already been done the plots are often reversible. just or so you are to me. so i head for the program a hundred big. early in the euro burton investors say the sum set aside to bail out spanish banks won't be enough to cope with the crisis as ordinary people continue to bear the brunt of austerity and promises unfulfilled father why inmates at guantanamo bay have been detained at the chance to denied the chance to continue their legal fight for freedom after being detained at the notorious facility

without ever being charged but it makes sense a turn of the story will. ok now wiki leaks founder julian assange has asked britain supreme court 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 and what's said to be an unusual move the famous will supply was wanted in sweden of a sex crime allegations but his supporters fears extradition will just be a step towards handing him over eventually then to the u.s. recently has contacts the quaids and says experienced evidence of the pursuit of some of them being held for questioning particularly after taking part of his program was broadcast on this channel and you can watch in fact the latest edition of a science show throughout the day here today at the us activist from the cypherpunks movement about the invisible war over our future that's being fought right now online. but the fundamental things that cypherpunks written recognize is that the architecture actually defines the political situation so if 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 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 sort of like lawful murder you've heard about a lot of the water and 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 a 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. you watch the second part of julia's songes talk with cypherpunks activists in a little over an hour here and if you missed the first part of that we had last week is of course available on our website along with the rest of the series as well for the last couple of months come. the rescue package for spanish banks will come with strings attached that's the message from the e.u. is the european competition commission has said the load is set to be supervised and that's contradicting 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 spending surely. says the resolution of the country's troubles remains a distant prospect nonetheless. when you're one hundred billion euro seen to any economy well you're likely to get a hike in shares seem to stop market of course that was to be expected but we've

seen that before in all their very large countries. smirk 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 sorted 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 this is the root cause of peace crisis case of a spain because of the property bubble the cheap loans and all that so people would be saying why bring a lot of the banks very large to us we also need to be citing why they're angry. later this hour on r t american economist nouriel roubini tells us where the euro zone's financial woes could ultimately lead the union and the global economy. there is certainly a risk that the situation could become this or that in the eurozone like at these

orderly the fall of the magazine by. contagion with iran on the banks they made early and then there was market and then they eventually have that is that after 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 poems like a nation of another depression interest. israel's attending dozens of african migrants in the first stage of a leadership planned there to deport over four thousand people eventually from the country itself the government initially welcomed the refugees are trying to escape violence in their homeland because of his policy or found out they face further strife if they 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 to sit down 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 verse that the we need to expel the infiltrators 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 fleeing poverty violence of authoritarian rule some sixty thousand of them have crossed illegally into israel through the relatively poorest desert border with egypt israel is warn of an impending demographic and economic crisis in the future these are people who

experienced severe a tram when their native land in therefore they saw their villages burned down or trees who were slaves of a dictatorial regime somewhere and torture camps in sinai and then a new struggle stars for them. is really say most come seeking work rather than refuge and when it comes to growing crime figures the newcomers make convenient scapegoats but the government cannot deport the migrants as they have a group protection those from sudan and eritrea no matter what their circumstances cannot be sent back because they face possible persecution and so they stay there without work permits and denied the most basic rights like shelter and food i feel very scary that most for that we have this this is a really really scary we feel like very secure. now and then there will be the. arts of violence towards the refugees and their already have been apartments of african workers set alight and almost daily beatings. far from

dealing with the situation prime minister netanyahu has announced his intention to go ahead with building a detention center to house ten thousand africans and to enforce a controversial law that will allow israel for eighty's to imprison illegal immigrants for up to three years without a trial then assume the 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're demonized how they're called names is terrible i am ashamed am ashamed as in his really 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. much more alive should r.t. dog kong right now a perilous place for babies take a look at these pictures we can bear it for the over this annual ritual of a spanish town named banishing evil spirits from newborns much further to death if

you were one of watch more of the see what the rationally doing it said r.t. dot com. and cyber war enters a new era with the head to late as most dangerous virus attacks orchestrated by the same group now according at least to a leading russian internet security law because firstly that's the latest they're telling us more about online as well. the u.s. supreme court refused to hear appeals followed by seven go in tandem obey inmates challenging with a galatea of the detention without ever being charged this continues to highlight president barack obama's failed election promise to permanently shut down the prison author of the guantanamo files on the worthington believes the judge's mentality is exposing the deep flaws in the country's justice system. for the last

two years and particular the d.c. circuit court said the appeals court has been rewriting the rules of detention has been overriding that it signals 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 their decision it's very very politically motivated by the d.c. circuit court these are very right wing judges they don't want prisoners released under any circumstances what was happening in the early days was the judges were very impartially looking at the evidence and 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 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. the world news headlines now as many as one hundred people are feared dead after two earthquakes have rattled northern afghanistan rescue crews continue to search for survivors after trying to spot a massive landslide burying dozens of homes damage has been reported across five districts and only a few people being pulled from the rubble alive the quake was felt as far away as the capital kabul one hundred seventy kilometers. in pakistan the northwest of the country in fact a commander of anti taliban forces there survived an attack from
