3:06 pm

3:08 pm
they want to go back into syria to conduct raids but again the that the western agenda i'm afraid to say that is the western agenda on syria is already decided certainly turkey is a nato country so the west has been wanting to drive turkey into the civil war under the nato better and certainly turkey one point salute too by the russian foreign minister sometime last year that turkey would be running point for nato 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 shooting fish in a bowl for the wesley didn't libya russia has faced a barrage of criticism this week for allegedly sending 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
3:09 pm
civil war but it's already the subject of a full blown media will ships on a ship that's been the question for the past week as reports well are since it was on its way to see according to the reports the battleships were late in with oh i'm send troops and headed to syria it later turned out they would know when me syria that right now home port of sevastopol and take 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 were. there to get there through this information as usual like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventies also there was a delay of 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 to syria q
3:10 pm
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 the shape of which is being discussed but these days that indeed was scary for the defense systems and it was carrying the three helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control of scientifical cells of a there was a soviet helicopter seventy five feet in syria from seoul did this and of course i wouldn't say there was a concert very few of the bastille to be assembled when they are delivered a fifth of the symbols of the entire process will fade with less than three months
3:11 pm
so to speak about something which we just sold to syria and which is being used. in action is not true that it wasn't only ships apparently war games were planned to it rainy 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 the. suited them for the us and use the agency love the 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. the conflict instead of seeking the peaceful solution so they like the story you know. and use agents use then there's the war of words british prime
3:12 pm
minister david cameron came out of a meeting with president putin at the recent g twenty summit saying putin no longer wanted president to act that 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 a media attack on syria that the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent of media so two percent on the ground so there is a quite a lot of stories every day. like for some model of stations by just some of those using you tube and there is no confirmed reports anymore it's said the first casualty of war is the truth and all this international rumor mongering and
3:13 pm
jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people the situation doesn't change regardless of which country won the latest battle of words lower smith. the syrian stalemate was in focus when presidents putin and obama met in mexico coming up on our more on how the leaders agreed that syrians should be able to choose their own future and must avoid a civil war. and world leaders agree boosting growth is he is they hope to escape the fallout from greece. but first the ecuadorian embassador to the u.k. will hold talks with president rafael caray on the fate of julian a songe who's requested political asylum in the latin american country the whistleblower took refuge in the country's embassy in london tuesday after the u.k. supreme court rejected an appeal against his extradition to sweden assigned if years he'll be immediately sent to the u.s. where he could face the death penalty or has 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 explain and freedom of speech the charges of of imported games julian assange that 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 see the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange has once again caught the eyes of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy those julian assange takes recchi 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 us and failed by the u.k.'s legal system but he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking
3:15 pm
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 largest 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 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 the records rather than we'll of course these on time found it concerns as
3:16 pm
a long list of u.s. biggest. openly calls 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 the cable guy has embarrassed the american british government freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game new rules new players and unexpected me even first on his 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 he paying that
3:17 pm

3:18 pm
windows during a television of protest most of them have since been released but some twenty will be facing criminal charges the demonstration was called after the arrest of a social activists a day earlier protestors are concerned about the escalating cost of living and police brutality at earlier rallies i'm now joined by journalist and writer maya going airy who's live for us in tel aviv thank you for being with us so amnesty international is among those who've expressed concern over the brutality of israeli police in this case but do you think it was necessary or was it necessary to subdue protesters who are apparently going to start looting. i'm not certain that we can jump to the conclusion that they were ready to start looting i think that breaking the windows was a symbolic act i think and you know designed to kind of express the frustration and the lack of the chains here in israel the cost of living is this high is over last year's protests you know that happened last summer have not led to meaningful teens
3:19 pm
and so we see now a kind of overflow of this anger. now israel saw a large social demonstrations last year but this student organization but this year student organizations opted out saying there was no need for more protests how do you view the situation. i think of the student organizations are correct i don't think that there's no need for more protests i think that the protests are needed but i think that what they learned from last year's protests is that the government doesn't really care what the people think the government isn't really going to respond or do anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean shockingly high shocked with my bill. so i think i mean there's a need for a new strategy and i think what we might have seen last night was a manifestation of a new strategy i stumbled upon a meeting at the at the end of last year's protests but not even at the protests at
3:20 pm
the very very end when the city was going to come and dismantle you know the last tents there on the show and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the grew. out of it and it was kind of ignored by the people leading the meeting but he said we need violence you know violence will be the only way to change things no i mean i'm not sure that it was correct answer. you know i'm a cynic i don't think things will change if they didn't change after last summer when you know hundreds of thousands went out i don't think that that much is going to change i mean even if people break a few windows i think you know if you could get maybe a million or two million marching that could seems things but i don't think that's going to happen people in israel too much to lose. the cost of living is higher but this is an egypt where people have less to lose and so they went out into the streets where israel has been come under criticism for heavy handed security
3:21 pm
methods especially against the palestinians is this a pattern that we're seeing here. certainly i mean this is a military a sick society society that you know everyone goes the army and this is part of that kind of. indoctrination and so i mean and the question is constantly of security and so now you know you see that's question now being applied to the. fourteen movement if you will where you saw last night a kind of idea that they need to be cracked down on as well so the kind of message i think is the same that you see in the territories and that is that you know people are just supposed to put up with the government's policies and not speak out and do anything to be agents in their own lives and to change things and we have heard mutual threats recently between israel and hamas this week despite wednesday's truce there was an exchange of rocket fire hamas respect the claim
3:22 pm
responsibility for firing those rockets for the first time in more than a year do you think that situation could escalate. i don't really think so i think that you know there are these flare ups from time to time they don't always as scully i expect that. things will kind of quiet down and the whole that way it's own thing has any interest in seeing things escalate i don't think israel does either and i think you know hamas has learned in the past that in the school ation is not going to lead to meaningful change and i guess we could kind of talk about that you know and compare it i mean in a small way to the protests that escalating things doesn't lead to a meaningful change the. state is strong you know the army and security forces are strong and so you know the people inside of israel in the territories are kind of you know at the will of the government or living under the will of the government
3:23 pm
all right we have to leave it there margaret every journalist on the right are live for us in tell of you thanks. both moscow and washington have stressed that syrians should be able to choose their own future in a democratic process at the summit of the g twenty in mexico presidents obama and putin agreed a civil war must be prevented 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 its nuclear program is entirely peaceful but there seems to be little progress on the u.s. controversial plan missile shield for europe and leaders said dialogue will continue but russia has yet to get the guarantees it wants that the rockets will be aimed its way former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says u.s. policy makers may not allow obama as much license as he wants. i'm convinced that putin does not want conflicts with washington he wants to resolve
3:24 pm
the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding in russia he doesn't want conflict and obama. he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of your government that more wants a 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 scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. of world original me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. the state of the euro zone's finances was the main worry for world leaders and mexico this week boosting growth has been named the main goal but here's the fallout from greece could lead to global contagion leaders are germany france italy and spain agreed for a one hundred thirty billion euro package to safeguard the struggling currency
3:25 pm
meanwhile greece's newly formed coalition is seeking an additional two years to slash its deficit athens hoping to avoid having further drastic cuts to salaries and pensions which have caused countless protests financial struggle as thomas to guess and says greece may have to leave the euro if the bailout deal isn't negotiated good this is the moment that new democracy and pasok they only have the majority in parliament due to the peculiar greek election rules in fact more than fifty percent of votes vent to e.u. critical parties none of the two blocs in the greek parliamentary election had a credible plan for turning the greek economy around from its current meltdown and the risk of a greek exit from the euro remains high either there will be a renegotiation off the treaty or rispoli eventually have to leave the euro and the problem here is that if the economic circumstances to deteriorate any further now everybody can see already today that austerity is killing greece it's also killing spain portugal ireland and other european economies if you believe that too fast up
3:26 pm
to long it won't be a deliberate and political decision when greece leaves it will be followed by economic circumstances so i think germany will have to back off from this one all face the responsibility of some kind of euro break up before too many months have passed. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe paraguayan is facing political isolation with some of its a lot of american neighbors recalling ambassadors from the country the move comes after president fernando ludo was ousted from power in what he calls a parliamentary who 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's promise to keep the country from becoming a regional pariah. in neighboring bolivia the army was deployed to patrol streets as police continue their strike against a low pay an arrest started on thursday when dozens of officers seized an elite
