benefits nato is plans. turkey's playing both sides trying to play both sides of the fence with regard to syria they will food and giving refuge to free syrian army guerrillas that are western backed. a run across the protection over the turkish border and they would go to syria to conduct raids but again. the western agenda i'm afraid to say this the western agenda on syria is already decided certainly turkey is a nato country so the west has been wanting to drag turkey into the civil war under the nato better. run point salute to by the russian foreign minister sometime last year that turkey would be really point for nato but as far as a no fly zone is something they desperately want to do in the west is to establish a no fly zone it will make it like a fish they're shooting fish in a bowl for the wesley didn't libya russia has faced

a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly shipping arms to syria claims denied by moscow artie's laura smith looks into the hyped up reports being used to drive the headlines. syria may be on the brink of civil war but it's already the subject of a full blown media war ships on a ships that's been the question for the past week as reports are since it was on its way according to the reports the battleships were laden with oh i'm still in troops and headed to syria it later turned out they would know when it is syria they're in their home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of war any reports however it accurate has some kind of influence as long as you have so many forces. excited about the your option there is that things are always just there and they

will. get there through this information as usual like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's also. some information there was one ship it was turned back off the coast of scotland after it was found to be carrying helicopter parts bound for syria q assertions that russia was supplying combat helicopters to president assad we are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria which will escalate the conflict quite dramatically it's an allegation that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says is part of a propaganda campaign pushing for which is being discussed with these days when people scary for their defense systems and it was carrying three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control of the size of the soviet

helicopters seventy five feet in syria from seoul gives them the fuel cells and that was it going for the repeal of the bastille to be a stand. well delivered the gift of the symbol to the entire process will fit with the three months or so to speak about something which we just sold to syria and which is being used. in action is not truthful it wasn't only ships apparently war games were planned to it made me a news agency fawaz reported that iran russia china and syria are planning to conduct joint military exercises in syria next month analysts think the story was planted by syria or iran as a show of strength but the u.s. outlets took it up because it suited them for the u.s. the news agency love this story because it matches their narrative you know the.

regime and its supporters in iran or russia or china or. they are the ones who are. getting the conflict instead of seeking. a story you know greatly pay attention to your opinion and use agents use then that's the war of words british prime minister david cameron came out of a meeting with president putin at the recent g twenty summit saying putin no longer wanted president back in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later denied that was peace his position but was it a case of lost in translation wishful thinking on the prime minister's parts or another attempt to exert pressure on russia in the last fifteen months is being in media attack on syria that the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent a media so two percent on the ground so there is a quite a lot of stories every day. like for some odd of stations by just as

a mother was using you tube and there is no confirmed reports anymore it said the first casual. rule is the truth and international rumor mongering and jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people the situation doesn't change we go up a list of which country one that latest battle if what. oh it's see. the syrian stalemate was in focus when president putin and obama met in mexico still to come on our team or how the leaders agreed syrians should be able to choose their own future and must avoid a civil war. and world leaders agree boosting growth is key as they hope to escape the fallout from greece. but first the ecuadorian ambassador to the u.k. will hold talks with president rafael correa on the fate of julian assange who's

asked for political asylum in the latin american country the whistleblower sought refuge in the country's embassy in london tuesday after the u.k. supreme court rejected an appeal against his extradition to sweden a saudi fears he'll be immediately extradited to the u.s. where he could face the death penalty. as more from london. held under house arrest and oppressed by the government in an effort to silence a pro-democracy message to the public but we're not talking about famous political dissident song suchi she's now free and being warmly welcomed by the british government we're talking about the western exponents of freedom of speech the charges of ever being bought against julian assange yet he still spent more than five hundred days under house arrest fighting extradition to sweden and possibly the u.s. now he's desperately hoping ecuador in the safe haven he seeks the latest from attic twist in the case of julian assange has once again caught the eye of the

world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy julian assange takes refuge but away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man who has been abandoned by his own country persecuted by the u.s. and failed by the u.k.'s legal system but he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking for political and diplomatic assistance and he's looking for the government to stand up for and son just fight has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the resulted in the rejection of his supreme court appeal against extradition to sweden what this was about was once julian assange gets extradited to sweden he's in prison in sweden the next thing that happens is the u.s. assuming there's an indictment large is an extradition warrant in sweden eventually the u.s. gets his hands on him they stick him in a prison in the united states fears of what might await him across the atlantic may well have prompted his latest i think you'll end up actually go through some very

serious charge probably life in prison if not the death penalty and it will be a stacked against those who are sitting with the bradley manning case united states now has carried the records rather than we'll of course these on time found it concerns as a long list of u.s. figures. not only for songes incarceration even for his death this guy is a traitor treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a and here's why because of his work with wiki leaks this guy has made some powerful enemies you know the collateral murder video shows american helicopter gunships shooting reporters the iraq war logs the afghan war diaries all of this. has embarrassed the american british government freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game with new rules new players and unexpected me even first

songes legal team this was a complete surprise so we found out about it on twitter and say the man he revolutionized whistleblowing and three wiki leaks released groundbreaking stories has in another twist become the story himself and there are many now a ping that the next big release will be julian assange himself surf city london weekly exact of his clark strictly things are called or is a songes best option for asylum as the country is unlikely to bow to pressure from washington. we're not so worried about him going to sweden actually that's that's just small business what were most worried about is him getting extradited to the united states and it's being orchestrated by the department of justice and most of the mainstream media doesn't seem to know about it because no one is allowed in and this is been going on simultaneously as bradley manning

struggle i would say it's a fifty fifty chance either it does or doesn't i pull in for it sounds like this is a very good option so that julian can continue to do the great work he has been doing for journalism ecuador would be a very good choice i think the likelihood of an extradition from ecuador is a lot less than it would be from sweden or the u.k. well under house arrest in the u.k. julian assange who was filming his talk show that airs weekly here on r t ecuador us president rafael correa was in fact among his guests catch the next program tuesday eleven thirty g.m.t. and you can also watch the entire series aired so far on our website that's at asahi dot r.-t. dot com wire there you can also check out other stories we've got lined up for you today including this the roof of a busy mall in canada's ontario collapses leaving at least four people injured and prompting

and. now with the palm of your. comb both moscow and washington have stressed that syria should be able to choose their own future in a democratic process at the summit of the g twenty in mexico presidents putin and obama agreed a civil war must be prevented this was the first time the two have met as heads of state they also called on iran to follow un resolutions and cooperate with the international atomic watchdog to prove their nuclear program is entirely peaceful but there seems little progress on america's controversial plan missile shield for europe the leaders said the dialogue will continue but russia has yet to get guarantees the rockets won't be aimed its way a former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says american policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he wants. i'm convinced

that putin does not will conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding their russia he doesn't want conflict and obama. he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of a government that wants regime change in syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to stop that. he will do what he can to get along with bruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent or me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. state of the euro zone's finances was the main concern for world leaders in mexico this week boosting growth has been named the main goal with fears

the fallout from greece could lead to a global contagion the leaders of germany france italy and spain have agreed for a one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling euro meanwhile greece's newly formed coalition is seeking an additional two years to slash its deficit athens is hoping to avoid a further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions that have caused countless protests political risk and sought in china holzman says whatever greece does the calm before the storm won't last long. it was a little much although this buys us a respite the reality is that this mad hatter's tea party doesn't change anything in the long run greece is going to have to live up to these terms they may get a little bit more time to do so but the terms themselves as the foreign minister of germany made very clear aren't going to change so i think the greek people are in for a tremendous disappointment the danger on one side and it's a game of chicken the greeks think if we go out it could lead to contagion with much bigger economies and ruin the entire euro zone so they're not going to be mean to us and the germans say the greeks need us more than we need them because without

a constant infusion of money we simply can't meet salaries and greece goes back into the middle ages sadly i think both have a point but the point is managing this difference along the way becomes very very difficult but really the drama begins now because once maurice doesn't get the terms he wants to remember this new government is going to have only about forty eight forty nine percent of greek support behind it what's going to happen then with surprise the leading demonstrations in the streets growing ever more popular and then they can say you see we were right nothing has changed stay with us here on r t still to come a growing evidence the u.s. and israel were behind a massive hacking attack against iran it's believe that you will develop the malware which elected intelligence it was created to sabotage tehran's nuclear program details if you moments. but first let's show you some other stories making headlines across the globe eighty five people were detained in tel aviv overnight after clashes between demonstrators and security forces a riot arrest of twelve social activists protesters blocked the main roads

shattered the windows of banks and scuffled with police last summer thousands took to the streets of israel calling for economic and social reforms but not all of the demands were implemented. by facing political isolation with some of its a lot of american neighbors recalling the passengers from the country the move comes after president fernando lugo was ousted from power in what he calls a parliamentary thirty nine to four vote in the senate saw him dismissed over his handling of. violence between farmers and police last week in which seventeen died newly sworn in leader frederico franco has promised to prevent the country from becoming a regional outcast. and in neighboring bolivia the army has been deployed to patrol the streets as police continue their strike against low pay the unrest started thursday when dozens of officers seized elite units headquarters close to the presidential palace talks between the government and striking police stalled with no agreement reached in two thousand and three a revolt over wages led to

a gunfight with soldiers left in one thousand people dead. sectarian fighting in myanmar has left more than eighty dead over the last month clashes between buddhists and muslims at all has refugees set off a refugee crisis and caused many muslims to flee across the border to bangladesh where most were turned back as illegal immigrants eric draitser and analysts with stop imperialism dot com thinks there is a wider geo political agenda behind the conflict many of the conflicts that we see in myanmar and elsewhere in the world but in particular in that country are the product of a proxy war an economic proxy war that the united states and the western powers are waging to prevent chinese economic development in myanmar we see the presence of a u.s. funded n.g.o.s that is not to say that everything that they do is negative that everything that they do foment chaos but rather that the presence that they have in the country indicates the presence of u.s. the u.s. government and the u.s.

intelligence community in an attempt to block the chinese. and unnamed u.s. official says that america was responsible for last month's massive cyber attack on iran the state of the art malware dubbed flame is said to have been created by the u.s. and israel to spy on and sabotage the islamic states nuclear progress or he's got a cheeky and has more. guides that american officials may sound defensive when they talk about cyber attacks as being a major threat to the country's security a weapon of mass disruption you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in terms of kabul also ryan fashions we typically associate with more for the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power systems or in our grid acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists and suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer but it turns out the u.s.

government itself carries out cyber attacks against other nations the washington post cites officials speaking on condition of anonymity who say entrap aeration full cyber sabotage against iran the u.s. and israel developed the flame virus flame is the most complex computer spying program ever discovered it has the capacity to steal or else or elec trani documents by now nobody doubts the program was development by a government entity that something like this appears to be what they would call state sponsored it sounds like the n.s.a. it is a means by me that necessary to see has it does this kind of thing we know they've done this kind of things you're getting intelligence without having to put someone actually there it's cyber espionage while the flame war was collecting intelligence the stuxnet virus borrowed into iran's nuclear program and created havoc in its uranium enrichment centrifuges the obama administration did not deny the leaks in the new york times that it had teamed up with israel to create stuxnet at some fear

that the move almost invites retaliate where you attack or for instance iraq's nuclear program you provide the iranians with their weapons your worm which they can that really reverse engineer take apart figure out how it works turn it around send it your way. eating moscow based security firm which i covered the flame virus says part of its code is nearly identical to the code finding stocks net and suggested that the viruses were developed by two teams working in collaboration leaks in the press support that assessment one official also on condition of anonymity said is just the beginning and the u.s. is preparing the battlefield for another type of covered action we're setting precedent for other nations and that's where the real problem lies because we've been criticizing china for allegedly attacking united states companies and u.s. governments while the same time engaging in this in the same conduct with other

countries feel bomb administration has openly confirmed hacking websites but only if alleged al qaeda sympathizers in yemen the u.s. secretary of state described the cyber effort as part of a larger attack on terrorism but many fear the u.s. cyber efforts go well beyond that as u.s. defense authorities go offensive in cyber warfare the pentagon's cyber command has fast tracked the development of the weapons that ministration just announced a one hundred ten million dollar program to solicit proposals from the universities and video game manufacturers to so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they're saying that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to rope technology into that and so when we have no control of our technology we have these people that wish to use it for further and for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff cyber space as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as that vast area of opportunity you can't really tell the government

don't do to others what you don't want them to you but in light of the recent revelations about the u.s. being a state library one might ask what sort of message that is thanks to the way the government beeman the dems library. hackers and all but it felt like one hell of a hawk. i'm going to check out reporting from washington art. still to come we discuss the media coverage of syria and what's next for a country torn by conflict but first an update of the headlines stay with us.
