china to agree on international sanctions against president bashar al assad to this point russia and china have opposed any type of international pressure in the form of sanctions instead referring to kofi annan six point peace plan and fully supporting that so of course these statements coming from a top u.n. official declaring civil war in syria can be a game changer within the security council in the days ahead you have to remember that ninety day mission three hundred unarmed observers in syria was adopted under the idea that there would be a cease fire in syria if there is no ceasefire what is there left for observers to be monitoring and that is something that the u.n. peacekeeping chief mr la to also stated we should mention that the u.n. said that three u.n.

vehicles were fired upon when monitors were trying to enter the syrian town. on tuesday according to the u.n. the crowds were throwing rocks and metal rods and also there were shots fired at the cars nobody was injured but clearly this increases the amount of danger surrounding the u.n. peacekeepers that are in the country next month this ninety day mandate for this mission the u.n. syrian mission expires and council members may not be willing to renew this mandate if they feel that the u.n. observers will be in danger if they are in syria which has now been deemed a civil war. well meanwhile u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is alleging that the shipment of attack helicopters were on route from russia to syria but refused to reveal her sources turns ago and was subsequently put in an awkward position admitting it had no

knowledge of any such event clinton also claimed that kofi annan who drew up the international backed peace plan for syria was also working on unseating. he said he was drafting election isn't to ease the syrian leader out of power even so many analysts are convinced that and six point peace plan remains syria's only hope. i think the situation has reached very dangerous proportions and there are civilians that are being killed and today we had some. there were some pictures of harder but massacres children have been targeted and innocent civilians and i think however it's not too late to i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. a desperate call yes but it's not the end of the road there is still a chance to actually have

a cease fire to have the plan that has been laid out in the past by kofi annan and implemented to have a ceasefire and go for the political dialogue there is no military solution they cannot be a military solution and in fact what the western powers are calling for. military interference is is in insane initiative it would not lead to any progress in this situation it would only make the situation worse. were coming up the decorated u.s. veterans are counting the true cost of battle throwing away medals they are fighting their country's borders we'll tell you what. spain gets squeezed by record high boring rates after investors fail to be convinced by the help of. alien banks. nearly one hundred thirty polish football hooligans have been arrested after attacking russian supporters taking part in

a sentient march ahead of the euro twenty twelve match in warsaw what is it richard went on for it was that. the real trouble started really a couple of hours before kickoff or russia had planned march from a city center to serve a stadium in warsaw which is about two kilometers outside of the city center march was obviously given the go ahead by the local authorities but i'm forty the trouble started when russian fans started to reach the stadium as a bridge just a few hundred meters away from the stadium and polish fans really tried to attack the russian fans i mean i've been following the russians seem to quite a long time and a lot of the fans in this march they were just purely football supporters and you can easily tell a football supporter from someone who's looking for trouble and there were a number of casualties. ten people have been taken to hospital and unfortunately. there was trouble brewing as i left the stadium is a very short walk from the stadium where i'm speaking now and you could hear some supporters saying saying things which could provoke the situation the russian fans

were very well reserved didn't respond to these provocations but unfortunately i'm sure it's bound to happen. well for more on what's happening at euro two thousand and twelve both on and off the pitch you can head for r.t. dot com. twenty three prayers in the russian squad our sports section has full profiles of both the stars and newcomers and national team. also at r.t. dot com where freedom activists take this struggle against the stop online piracy act of whole new level their own distinctive approach to bill of rights. if. britain is considering pulling the plug on whistleblowers circulating through parliament which if it comes

into force might discourage people from speaking out against serious violations or corporate wrongdoing so if earth looks at the possible risks for those who want to do the right thing it's a war of attrition a good one to some who has nothing against people that have a lot of wealth and lot of power behind them a battle against. this video named collateral murder is just one of many wiki leaks revelations exposing real crimes revolutionizing whistleblowing and tearing down the divides between governments and ordinary people and the government's view. exposing wrongdoing can previously business as wendy addison found out back in two thousand whilst working as a treasurer of the south african company leisure net she discovered the c.e.o.'s was stealing money from shareholders and sending it to offshore accounts and she blew

the whistle it was a data point that my whole life fell apart. lost my career it was literally when i started getting death threats anonymously there were occasions where i was almost inclined to console exciting society completely. and this is a very common thing for. talking about suicide despite risking everything when he was in poor old in a lengthy legal wrangling and it would be more than a decade before those who committed the crime went to jail modern whistleblowing techniques have been giving people more power to take on big corporations and even governments now the proposed changes to the law potentially threatening the protections also at a time when the culture surrounding whistleblowing be making big leaps forward the law could be set to take a big step back the problems are being caused by. this the enterprise and regulatory reform bill which is currently making its way through parliament and one

small discrete line buried away in the text referring to a public interest test we were really worried that putting in a public interest test into the legislation will have a chilling effect on the ability of workers to speak up a member of the international whistleblowing research network and an employment lawyer david lewis tells us the proposed test has dropped a bomb on whistleblowing provisions the great virtue of the existing provisions is there's no public interest it was a very simple test as long as you had enormous motu if you could be sure and it found that you would be protected now individuals those claiming to use the provision will have to satisfy public interest to us make it very difficult for people to advise them the government argue that the changes are aimed at closing a loophole this meant that employees with personal grievances a for employment contract have been able to use the whistle blame provisions that the son this will be seen as just the latest measure making it harder out the truth. of course is

this trend. this is blowing the whistle have to differing degrees had their lives changed their reputations threatened or ruined their freedoms removed but in the process they've revealed secrets that the rich and the powerful never wanted us to know who has been told i was doing the wrong thing. and yet it felt so right for me and i knew what i was doing the watching their battle highlights the importance of protecting whistleblowers and the public's right to know something they all say was well worth fighting for. r.t. . the world's most famous whistleblower sundries away to the u.k. supreme court decision after he asked it to reopen the case on his extradition to sweden. it's off to do zing his last ditch appeal that a fortnight ago his lawyers are challenging the legality of that ruling in what

said to be an unusual move the founders wanted in sweden of a sex crime but it's supporters fame it's a cover towards handing him over to the u.s. for sunday's price isn't keeping him from tackling the world's biggest sheets and his latest show and you know t. he takes on those plundering online privacy. but the fundamentals of the cypherpunks written recognizes 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 that effectively even if the people who are best of intentions it doesn't matter i mean dark there sure is the truth it's true for the internet with regard to communications those 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 that's what awful murder you've heard of a lot of the other rights on american citizens by the u.s. president obama you know when he killed on laura locky 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 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. iran says it has started building its first nuclear powered submarine announcement comes during preparations for another round of international talks over terra's disputed nuclear activities but russia's foreign minister is visiting the country ahead of the key negotiators in moscow something many iranian expert sees a positive step. more diplomacy is almost always a good thing and when the permanent members of the security council the united nations security council plus germany sit down at the negotiating table with iran

if there's no prep work that's done in advance of those negotiations then it essentially becomes a process that's tantamount to having a kitchen full of cooks and nobody has a spoon so laying the groundwork and taking care of some of the technical political aspects in advance increases the likelihood for already difficult diplomatic process to be more successful than it would be otherwise while the united states is spearheading a western effort to embargo if not outright reduce iranian oil exports and imports there are a host of other conflicts going on in the region there is economic instability in europe but there is also to ensure that countries like saudi arabia who have swing capacity when it comes to producing energy increase their output and maximizing the output that's been increasing in libya places like iraq and things like that getting countries off aronian oil oftentimes requires them to have a different refining process for different oil than iran's oil so it's

a longer term process that they've been working on for a while now and we really are in uncharted waters so it certainly is the role of the dice that could come back to backfire particularly in an election year if the obama administration doesn't play its cards carefully. the countdown to a potential strike against iran continues the united states and israel still considering it as an option when i start to talk to a strategic analyst here who says if israel makes the first move it may cost the state it's the us. is a fury in the united states that is what we are going to do that an israeli attack . draw the united states into that war prematurely it would force the united states to get into a war because an iranian counterattack would almost undoubtedly targeted against. them as against israel so it would be drawn to such an

action without an american consent would cause the great damage to israel. with the united states for an extended period of time. they fought for their country now they're fighting their consciences they created us war veterans are joining an increasingly angry public of what they see as america's constant cycle of war even ditching their own is a valid what is necessary as the story. true patriots they follow the order to fight their country's battles scott olsen survived two tours in iraq only to be critically injured upon returning home by police clashing with occupy oakland protesters also had joined the military to do good work to help other people to be part of something bigger than. but instead he and many others

discovered an ugly truth about the military escapades they were involved damn me remained gay for years to the u.s. army and spent five years in kuwait as a contractor his experiences. changed his perception of the us create in the violence there stop in the peace and there are people from their culture from their communities and killing people in drone attacks. this group of veterans says the system they were part of is one that throws away billions of dollars and less wars pinches every extra penny when it comes to those fighting them when veterans come home one in three of them will be homeless we have eighteen veteran suicides every single day every thirty six hours an active duty soldier kills himself. u.s. veterans are increasingly taking to the streets to challenge what they believe to be false pretense wars agree with this illegal occupation that's been held in afghanistan pakistan iraq and other foreign countries because the war base of

terrorism is a big it's a war based their motives for money and political power agendas boil in chicago dozens of veterans march the streets. and dump their war medals. was a blow. by simply throwing them out in rejection of what those medals signify this is where we are disobedient. really get it i mean basically this is going to. join the military and of course we're not what they were told they would be. in these protests the veterans were joined by thousands of other americans also outraged with u.s. wars the american people are angry they're frustrated and they don't know which way to turn anymore with presidential elections around the corner these veterans see real change can only come from the bottom up i didn't expect any changes in two thousand and eight when obama got elected and i surely don't expect any changes now

those ones taking commands to fight on foreign soil now taking command of the battle for peace at home. r.t. chicago illinois. the u.s. military has admitted that major mistakes were made during its wars in iraq and afghanistan a pentagon report points to training and policy for its strategic leadership repeatedly failed screaming from executive intelligence review magazine says the missions when they were clearly defined. the missions in afghanistan and iraq did not have a mission they were a military deployment they have destroyed a portion of the military their weakened us power in a situation with the similar to what we were in the vietnam war although we haven't lost the war because there is no mission to actually carry out any policy in iraq or afghanistan and military right now is fighting back and defending itself the

united states if it goes into a country to carry out regime change which we carried out in iraq and we carried out in afghanistan then the military is stuck in a horrible position because they're not trained for this the point is that the president right states first president bush and then in afghanistan president obama did not define a clear mission for the military and did not have to find a clear american policy mission for the development of these countries and therefore the military were from the very beginning thrown in to make up for this vacuum and that's the problem that we have today. album of the well as it may need for you now yemeni officials say they are now in control of two major cities in the south had been seized by al qaida in cities service key militant strongholds for more than a year the miniature operation is seen as a major success for yemen's new president who has intensified in

a crackdown since taking office and five brain but he's missionaries from a vast parts of the south still controlled by militants. two car bombs have gone off in the southern iraqi city killing at least ten people injuring thirty two others a few details at the moment but police say the blasts happened in a restaurant and you know this week two attacks targeted. killing nine. sprains boring costs have soared to their highest since joining the euro but misery continues piling up with ratings agency fitch downgrading eighteen spanish banks the country has had to tap into one hundred billion euros from a financial backer fund to help shore up its banks which have been saddled with a mountain of bad. thing that was supposed to post a faith in the euro but political risk consultant john huntsman says it's getting increasingly tough for politicians to convince investors. the point is that of course the germans are going to part with their money without conditions mrs merkel

has a very tough political scene or sell and if she were said to just give the spanish hundred million euro the people in germany would think she lost her mind so they're going to be conditions of course the troika is going to look over spanish banks of course there's going to be conditionality the e.u. level and the spanish and what's happening is you see the politics of this getting harder and harder this is miracle needs that conditionality the spanish government can hope to survive if there is that conditionality they've lost control of the story in the beginning to believe this nonsense the crisis is follow the pattern they're going for any bailouts for greece portugal ireland spain and what's happened is that after every bailout the amount of trying to takes them are. realize that indeed this is nonsense it is smaller and smaller. to two weeks to do and if. we really are true our worst thing is to try to ruin this is very different from the story. well it's time to join in on the business that there are
