johnston. syria has plunged into a full scale civil war so says the head of the u.n. peacekeeping operation there he added that fighting had reached a previously unseen ferocity as government forces seek to blunt a nationwide offensive by the rebels who had withdrawn from the internationally backed cease fire. has more developments at the u.n. . the u.n. peacekeeping chief our a lot too who recently made those comments saying that the conflict in syria is now a civil war he is the first you want to fishel to have made that type of declaration following the fifteen months of violence taking place and escalating in syria and now of course his words can carry a lot of political weight inside of the security council where the u.s. and its western allies are pushing for sanctions against the assad government now this is a campaign ongoing for months now the u.s.

pretty much leaving it trying to get russia and 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 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 the ninety day mission of 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 you and observers to be monitoring 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 and while u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in there doing that said you shipment of attack helicopters from russia to see. area refused to reveal her sources the pentagon was subsequently put in an awkward position and meeting it had no knowledge of any such shipment clinton also claimed that kofi annan is putting together an international team to ease the syrian leader out of power to include russia on the list even though it's opposed to any idea of foreign sponsored regime change despite these developments many analysts are convinced that earns a six point peace plan remains serious only hope. that 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 harbin massacres where 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. desperate call yet 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. we're coming up with decorated that u.s. veterans are counting the true cost of battle throwing away the medals thing and

fighting their country's wars we'll tell you why. spain gets released by record high borrowing rates after investors failed to be convinced by the help offered to pop up in spain banks. up to one hundred fifty polish football hooligans have been arrested after attacking russian supporters who were on a much they were marking russia day ahead of their team's your twenty twelve encounter in warsaw violence also flared after the match leaving at least ten people injured parties which had been portrayed was there. the real trouble started really a couple of hours before kickoff for russia had planned march from the city center to the stadium in warsaw which is about two kilometers outside of the city center march was obviously given a go ahead by the local authorities but unfortunately 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've been following the russian team for 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 can hear some supporters saying things which could provoke a situation the russian fans were very wild reserve they 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 twenty twelve both on and off the pitch you can head for r.t. dot com all twenty three players in the russian squad sports section has full profiles of both the stars and newcomers in a national day. also r t dot com web freedom activist take their struggle against the stop online piracy act the whole new level with their own distinctive digital

wrongdoing can prove risky 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 were stealing money from shareholders and sending it to offshore accounts and she blew the whistle it was a decade point of my whole life fell apart. lost my career it was it was literally me i started getting desperate synonymously there were occasions where i was almost inclined to consider accepting 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 of the tension is 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 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 whistle blowing provisions the great virtue of the existing provisions is this no public interest test it was a very simple test as long as you had enormous motive if you could be sure and it found that you would be protected now individuals will those claiming to use the provisions will have to satisfy public interest to us and make it very difficult

for people to advise them the government argues 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 whistleblowing provisions but the some this will be seen as just the latest measure making it harder out the truth. of course is this trend. is one crackdown in whistle blowing blowing the whistle have to differing degrees had their lives changed their reputations threatened or ruined their freedoms removed but in the process they reveal secrets that the rich and the powerful never wanted us to know that i was being told i was doing the wrong thing. and yet it felt so right for me and i knew that i was doing the right thing 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. london. the world's most famous whistleblower during this sunday's awaiting u.k. supreme court decision to ya stick to reopen the case on his extradition to sweden and after losing his last ditch appeal there a fortnight ago because the lawyers are challenging the legality of that reading what's said to be an unusual move to look at expounder is wanted in sweden of a sex crime allegations but his supporters feel it's a cover towards handing him over to the u.s. but songes plight isn't keeping him from tackling the world's big issues in his latest show anyone here in r.t. he takes on those plundering online privacy. but the fundamental things are so for punks 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 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 look yeah it's a little like lawful murder you've heard of a lot of lot of 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 not 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. washington is accusing iran of seeking global domination claiming that the threat it poses is real well right now preparations are underway for another round of

international talks of a terrorist disputed nuclear. activities russia's foreign minister is on his way there prior to the key negotiations in moscow where head of those r.t. spoke to side attorney who's iran's chief nuclear negotiator for his view on the tensions over his nation's nuclear plans. iran's nuclear program is under the watch of the international atomic energy agency if everything we do is done according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and every single one of our location is carrying out nuclear work there are i. all of our nuclear activities peaceful all of it is done in it. and the nuclear nonproliferation treaty limitation and yet still some people and nations find it in themselves to denounce our work and attack us and it's not only cyber attacks our scientists are the targets for terrorists that the question is how can they let

themselves carry out any outs of sabotage the issues against a country with only a lawful and peaceful nuclear program it is also interesting that they don't keep it secret openly announce that this is their work. now a possible strike against iran is taking closer the united states and israel still considering it as an option well to the south at least expert rewrapping explains why israel's threats are a driving force behind ever toughening international sanctions on iran. i think therefore the israeli leadership is doing just to. capitalize on kind of a memento with the sanctions first of all in the mind of many israelis the implementation of sanctions is kind of a byproduct of an israeli pressure because israel actually threatened to militarily attack you this was all forced the european union and the americans especially the

americans to come up with a much more strict policy with regard to iran in order to appease israel this is how israel takes think. of the u.s. military. has admitted that major mistakes were made during its wars in iraq and afghanistan and a report that showed flaws in training and policy though so highlighted that given the standing of it the realities faced by troops it seems the country's war veterans are joining an increasingly angry public and what they see is america's constant cycle of war so maybe ditching it is a valid. experience. true patriots they followed 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 ourselves. but instead he and many others discovered an ugly truth about the military escapades they were involved in. riemann gave for years to the u.s. army and spent five years in kuwait as a contractor his experiences changed his perception of the u.s. there are gray in the violence in the piece and there are people from their culture from their communities and killing people in drone attacks. this group a veteran 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 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 this terrorism is a is a war. other motives for money and political power agendas boil in chicago dozens of veterans march the streets. and dump their war medals. by simply throwing them out in rejection of what those medals signify this is where we are. basically this is still. in the military when they were told they would be. in these protests the veterans were joined by thousands of other americans also outraged with us 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 a whole. r.t. chicago illinois. or some other international headlines for you now there's been a series of deadly bombings across iraq at least fifty three people and injuring dozens of others several blasts targeted shiite pilgrims across baghdad as a mark religious anniversary twin blasts went off outside a restaurant frequented by police in the southern city of hillah two more car bombs and struck many shiites in baghdad. and it is the most web site has posted a video of al qaeda second in command who's killing by a nato drone in pakistan was confirmed by u.s. officials a week ago shows. me calling on insurgents outside syria to fight against president

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 america needs that conditionality the spanish government can't hope to survive if there is that conditionality they've lost control of the story and they're beginning to believe this nonsense the crisis has followed a pattern they've been phrenic bailouts for greece portugal ireland and spain and what's happened is that after every bailout the amount of time it takes the markets to read the fine print realize that indeed this is nonsense it is an all set to get smaller and smaller and smaller so we've gone from two months to two weeks to two days and in the case of spain it took literally two hours for things to turn around this is by far the end from from the end of story. well it's time now to join katie on the business desk and news that russian railways are set to build a railroad in the united arab emirates is that right yeah that is a carrier yeah the russian company is bidding to build a tractor to an average and to buy so more details on that let's let's go through
