titles which are generally reserved for the living leaders have not confirmed or denied levy's death the video could have been taped before he's that's true so he might as well be dead but the confusion has once again raised the question of who's really dying in those bombings and how much do we actually know because it's all very murky what we do know is that the obama administration has dramatically ramped up drone strikes in pakistan around story hundred strikes since he took office it's this area bordering afghanistan which is on the fire but judging by the intensity of the u.s. strikes there one thing that only terrorists leave there that's not the case of course the long investigative journalism says more than eight hundred civilians died in those bombings among them almost two hundred children what's interesting for a year u.s. officials are all together denied civilian deaths in drone strikes but reports on the ground told the opposite and thousands of people protesting furiously in pakistan told the opposite then that was the last straw of the aerial strike which

killed two dozen pakistani soldiers last year by mistake diplomatic have a quality between the u.s. and pakistan pakistan blocked supply routes to afghanistan and they still remain closed by the way a new wave of extremism has been steered by those strikes but it's also interesting u.s. officials have accused this bureau of investigative journalism which works to shed light on civilian deaths saying those drone strikes of helping terrorists one might argue that this label terrorist helper is becoming an all too convenient tool for the government to brush off investigative journalism then there was this yemeni journalist who reported about the drone strike in yemen in two thousand and nine twenty one woman and fourteen children died there the journalist is now in jail were portably at the personal request of president obama himself. there's this line of thought in washington. it's all perfectly fine as long as we're fighting the bad

guy the president approves the list of those bad guys by the way the kill list on secret evidence with no review but does the argument we're fighting the bad guys mean the world should keep quiet about the execution of innocent people in washington i'm going to check out. the coming out just a little later in the program a surprise twist in the egypt's politics constitutional court dismisses the country's parliament leaving more than a year of post about political struggles in the water. we can make a very far themself in sweden by the end of the british judges refused to reopen his extradition case or that it concerns the trial it's just paving its way to the u.s. . after eight days of vicious combat against armed rebel syrian government forces have fun in the open the town of half or two u.n.

observers with memories of massacres still strong for the telltale signs of small to be high on their agenda so far they found vast amounts of abandoned weapons and destruction the most all the government buildings looted. the town also appears to be deserted with suspicion that bodies have either been buried or moved before the universe and right parallels are already being drawn with past massacres is going down to the government's culpability with reports also implicating the rebels david gibbs a history professor at the university of arizona says western media spin has left its mark on the conflict. well as a general point in these types of conflicts the propaganda aspect is critically important and there's an effort in the world with rebels in a kind of purely positive light and see regime in a purely negative light. you know get the facts on the ground it's very hard to ascertain who massacre did for a long time for a while look like it was clearly done by the government but there was

a report on the drive across from typically the front for. and the case that there is some indications it might have been some element of the rebels that might have committed at least part of the massacre the german report with the growth of who underscores the fact that it's very difficult to get at the truth in these types of conflicts where you know both sides are trying to use propaganda and spin to advance their positions and so this is being presented as is typically the case in these types of conflicts as a good versus evil conflict with all the blame on one side even if the reality is more complicated. with uncertainty and competing interests taking the conflict people of else cross-talk program discusses just who and what they've got at stake in syria if it was coming up at thirty g.m.t. . if it hadn't been for the outside interference the army the opposition to prove motion of civil war by the united states britain france and their clients in the region this would not have evolved at this point it was it inevitable that there

would be a sectarian conflict is joshua's seems to seems to ponder there i think the united states and britain and france are on a regime change path they recognize the longer abilities in different societies if they're if they're divided based on religion or ethno sectarian divide those divisions are being utilized in order to break i think i was going to. head now i would not accept that because. the american french are russian plans to change the regime but it started. taking people who are protesting. hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact of.

fate is have become a growing headache for native europeans as well. it may be called the european union but discord is right and the swing to the extreme is becoming a little more mainstream especially when it comes to discourse on immigration and in some cases leads to outright violence from norway. to greece. to hungary. just in our streets girl is a rape of an l.s.d. and insults by gangs of the. eighty years mean leader of the new solidarity alternative or and they say group in belgium was convicted on charges of racism he denies being racist but says he's against immigration because belgium can no longer cope with the economic and social demands of mass immigration that's the fault of the liberal democracy democracy in whole in all the west it's economics that's nothing to do with race it's more extreme right or extreme arrest or what

a lot of the bad weather it has to do with it. such as the argument that has gained traction in crisis hit europe with soaring unemployment recent elections in france and greece showed a big gains for the far right and immigrants say they've increasingly been on the receiving end of prejudice in many forms. in all of europe a woman with a bill can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but it build women cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and racism into every. live to people are facing because they don't report because they don't trust the police so every time you get inserted on the street or issue in this town woman that you had coffins taken off of you have or whatever you don't report simply a two thousand and ten report by the european network against racism and discrimination found that racially discriminatory practices are widespread institutional in nature and practiced at all levels of society across europe in two

if you don't get ours this in more so than they would have them are kind of us ready. to push other countries to do the necessary. so it's very open how this all really but i fear that in in the end. to political pressure and start running the printing press. what goes around comes around as here appear desperately six a financial stimulus and they feel another blow this time coming from iran the country's oil minister has warned that oil sanctions will be a tough burden for the blocs economy that's ahead of major international talks over iran's nuclear activities which according to the country's top diplomats are entirely peaceful. that firstly we are strongly against weapons of mass destruction today the republic of iran the capacities to cooperate in disarmament in nuclear nonproliferation so these get better should be used by the international community

there so i can lean that we expect that the wrongs right if you nuclear technologies including you are in human richmond as will be recognized and respected this is something that is clearly defined by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and i think that addressing these two issues will help to advance negotiation is. what a full interview is coming your way in about ten minutes time here in r.t. . now a look at some other international headlines for you. argentina's president has appeared at the colonization committee arguing that falkland islands should not be under british rule because he sided with the thirtieth anniversary of the war with britain over the territory which claimed more than one hundred dives decades on the ownership dispute has not died down and alan does hold a referendum next year to decide the future. claims of british elite occupied the

well trust is easy to lose and harder to that's what russia's cardiologists experienced first hand their patience looking over the border when it came to treatment for serious heart disease but this may soon change that artie's ridiculous criticism. home is where the heart is but for many russians their country is not where the chance to get their medical care especially those with heart problems is many is just saying thousand russians are here just to go abroad to get treatment because they say health care at home leaves much to be desired for the country's leading cardiologists it's a great concern. is that we have thousands of cases which can be very successfully treated here at home i say with all responsibility ninety percent of all treatment is done abroad can be done here. but many remain unconvinced even though centers like most goes back will of institute have perfected some of the most complicated

procedures which can give the old or young taker and new life dr busier she believes the country's recent past is partly to blame that's of us that after the break up of the u.s.s.r. the state had to be created in you and in the process the situation with medicine was led to go to the point where people have unfortunately lost the trust in russian health care to mean it's not so for two time hard bypass survivor italian mean i have the former diplomat underwent extensive treatment both abroad and at the back we have center most of. our health care is far stronger and kinder than western especially now when many medical centers have the technology we're used to seeing in the west so it's most importantly our doctors have sold this that along with well trained hands is something which allows russian doctors to save lives daily with operations on heard of just a few years ago such as replacing

a human heart valve with one from a calf the worst although i'm holding a frame was profuse as of an ear to evolve from the cardiac cycle for cuff we purchase hearts from meat packers bring them here isolate the necessary tissues give them the necessary treatment the treatment methods are protected by a. and then we see from this tissue the confused damaged human. thousands of such procedures have already been deformed at the center on patients as young as just a few weeks old to those whose lives are in full bloom like twenty four year old man tyler who suffered from inherited terry heart condition it's just the feeling right now is that i understand and feel like a completely healthy person. a priceless feeling of in your health achieved without hitting outside russia's borders in moscow it even goes to r.t. . a joint case on the business desk a lot of nerves on the trading floors ahead of the greek election katie i would

interest rates they've kept on changing a lot of investors were hoping that they would change them in order to boost growth ahead of the election and amidst all the european crisis that we're suffering from at the moment as well as u.s. and china growth dropping tell you but as you can see it's not a cigar in just a modest one basis points behind a sign that one point six percent are in positive territory please see the u.s. and see how wall street closed up yesterday again today we've got the federal reserve talk of them forcing some stimulus to also want to mention the fact that the u.s. stock futures are pointing to the north side so they are indeed pointing upwards i guess that it joins a one point two percent six tenths of a percent oil it was a big news event yesterday because opec had a meeting to talk about their oil production and for the rest of the year and they did decide as expected to keep it. as a result we've got your prices getting ever such
