international observers in syria arrived in from our province to investigate a mouse guard which over two hundred are reported dead and us rushing to condemn the syrian regime for the attack with out of the. packers versus big brother whistle blowers and computer access are gathering in new york i like what they see as intensifying u.s. government spying on its own people also let's get this party started. here is among the next space station a group are t.h.x. and will be attracted to both take off from twenty four hour.
10:01 am
live from our headquarters in central moscow where it's six pm our top story the un's observer mission has arrived in syria's hama province to investigate reports of the latest massacre where some two hundred civilians were killed washington and its allies were quick to blame the syrian government for the carnage in the village of trouble the regime does not use the accusation saying the army targeted only terrorist western states however are threatening to mask it with consequences in a draft resolution at the u.n. security council that authorizes force against the office of the regime if the syrian army fails to halt military action if they russia and china say the approach is unbalanced many thanks for terribly believes it's you know the incident of the troubles of life just like previous massacres came at a crucial point in foreign diplomacy over. i have seen evidence now from journalists in the field. and i cross the beanbag who insist there are cross the
10:02 am
t.'s carried out by the syrian national council and they all when i say and so on earth of creating mayhem in some areas and they are deliberately carrying out these are crossties so that they can be blamed on to. the regime the regime does its own pings we know that but these people are by no means on the side of the angels as the as they pretend if we're going to have sanctions why not impose on sanctions now on these armed groups that are creating made him in that country it is not only our service that has become very clear over the last few weeks and one can't simply say that this is justified because of who they are fighting against you know the syrian national council is the favored group of the western countries the only way forward is negotiation discussion constitution constituent assembly and that it is
10:03 am
now obvious that the west is not going to lead because they are affectively backing the people who are opposed to any negotiate social. foreign refugees inside syria are also feeling the impact of war with some losing their lives as bitter fighting between the rebels and the army spilled into their camps up to twenty palestinians have been reportedly killed in the latest such incident increasing cause and to attacks on those who want to stay out of syria's internal crisis that we have a notion that now has war and that you might find some of the images in her report though disturbing. while conflict in syria and its seventeenth month hari find proof of cold blooded violence continues to emerge this photo has appeared on some middle east web sites it apparently shows the bodies of palestinian refugees who earlier disappeared in the troubled province of homs while only five corpses are seen in the picture health officials reported that there were fourteen of them all
10:04 am
identified as members of the palestine liberation army in syria there p.-l. a later confirmed that the man who knew conscripts coming back from a training camp when they were kidnapped three more are still missing most palestinian factions in syria have blamed the armed opposition he wanted to both weaken the regime and spread despair among palestinians in order to make them give up fighting for the right to get occupied land back this recent incident has become yet another episode of serious sad reality with palestinians similarly deliberately targeted raising concerns over the fate of a community of more than half a million this is an all syrian affair we're focused on protecting our own council but this opposition have wanted to drag us down since the beginning but now we can see they used all possible tools. it's stupid to think this will succeed we're guests here and nothing can happen that will make us change your position following
10:05 am
the nine hundred forty eight arab israeli war syria embraced thousands of refugees from palestine granting them a full package of civil rights placing them in a far better situation than. that's faced by palestinians elsewhere but for the new york we've come here at the time of our families we've gone through a revolution in modern court and who is at the helm our safety is going to by law is the people here and the system but accept us not just leader or the regime but while the conflict escalates some people fear that stayed out of this could become just too difficult for the. syrian sense palestinians have always been fighting together you cannot separate them of course if syria needs help who will help no one no support to war no one supported the fighting young little bit of course they'll also go fighting but not because they like fighting but because syrians and palestinians are one. we are now in a war against terrorism not
10:06 am
a sectarian or ethnic one and we support this work we are ready to fight against foreigners this is the only one of thirteen palestinian camps in syria the people living here so for more than sixty years already killed themselves yes they say just as a simple logical guests impose their own rules in someone else's house it's just unacceptable for them to get involved in what they say is series our affair this policy of no interference has kept the seven hundred thousand strong community out of the crisis for months now but we persist in the times from both war in size to drive them in people here now fear gets in court in the crossfire. my fresh. from damascus and syria. now maria financial is one of few correspondents reporting from the heart of syria's on ras you can probably do for bell of minutes from her from inside the conflict zone on her twitter feed there you can also find first hand comments analysis and gents.
10:07 am
well the world's top whistle blower julian a song waits for an asylum ruling at the ecuadorian embassy in london has cost drives across the atlantic and a conference in new york the hacker group that inspired the creation of wiki leaks has been gathering to protest against the u.s. government's big brother policies or is there. there was a week in the us there was hope that's an afternoon that stands for hackers on planet earth and i am not there nine conference in new york city this is a fine i knew all of that for hackers come together to discuss different topics such as government surveillance freedom on the internet cases surrounding whistleblowers and of course also discussions about how to not insist on two years
10:08 am
ago julian assange founder of wiki leaks the supposed to be a keynote speaker at the last conference this year it was n.s.a. whistleblower william binney he worked for the n.s.a. thirty seven years for stepping down he said that it was the u.s. government in coaching surveillance of the citizens that forced him to finally leave his post now he says he wants to make sure that all americans are aware of how their privacy is being violated the fundamental thing that's eating away at the at the real foundation of this country is the same buying that's going on internally in the united states against our own people you know when you had the freedom to do think you could try things and you had but you felt that this country would like to try things and now you're starting to sense the sense is that people are getting is that they're spying on us trying to control us when you should do certain things and not other things do you think julian assange in some way
10:09 am
provided a good service to americans yeah absolutely because it's freedom of information it makes people in government accountable for their actions but the majority of people here are a few supporters of freedom of information that's essentially the same thing that joined us on set propels him inspired him to create wiki leaks and subsequently disclose classified information about governments around the world according to me or you know or not artsy. but into concerns about privacy or reports of a new generation. microscopic scanners to be deployed at u.s. airports and borders while people don't know they're under examination the machines are working like other levels can detect anything on or inside the body in an instant independent journalist charlie mcgrath says it's about money making not security look at the fact that we're now flying drones for timid domestic law enforcement around the country of course we're going to see this spread to the
10:10 am
general public we will be under the eye of big brother we're going to hear that argument from the mainstream and from the businesses that stand to reap an amazing windfall from the sale of these kind of devices that you know it's better for the safety of the people of this country it's better for the safety people the world there is no threat of terror that's a canard so absolutely it's something we should be concerned about we've seen since nine eleven the introduction of the patriot act and every other piece of so-called legislation that's protecting the people is the enriching of the financial super elite in the security industrial complex we see a perpetuation of the fine ocracy where financial interests write legislation that govern this country and all this talk of fearing argument in a shot out of every closet or coming up from underneath everybody's bed is nothing more than a fear tactic so we can enrich a very few people on this planet. well more still lined up for you in the program including spain where police are in no mood for protest dumping their loved bloody hand copy after clashes in madrid that's right officers lash out at demonstrators
10:11 am
furious over the latest austerity cuts. most ideas. tried to get powers made to the police to solve the yeah when power is on the table anything goes right barbara obama and mitt romney ready for anything to get power the president gets new yorkers opinions about political mudslinging coming up. but first washington's upped the ante in its standoff with iran declaring more sanctions against the islamic state over its disputed nuclear to intentions these latest measures targeted companies and banks accused of helping tehran bypass the e.u. and us oil embargo they come after washington announced more military developments with iran with a fourth aircraft carrier heading to the persian gulf such a move would mean half of america's active carriers would be stationed off the country's coast the navy is also bringing in underwater drones to help fleet of
10:12 am
many submarines but politics professor patristic de janeiro from new york university says it's likely only to provoke conflict. but what's happening here unfortunately is that they're playing a dangerous game it's almost like having a mouse who's going to be run for certain is going to attack first and what concerns me here is that it or moving more warships there that iran is going to feel more threatened and there's more chance of triggering some kind of mistake there and then going to see definitely for a set up violence tax this is absolutely dangerous we don't really understand what's happening there we made this mistake with the iraq war and said there were nuclear weapons in the war and now we're on our way for making this the state in iraq really have been saying. but they're on their way to nuclear weapons thanks dear since one thousand nine hundred four so let's sit down and talk before we start pointing weapons at each other which could really facilitate
10:13 am
a large scale it conflict in the region that what is that is starting to pull so many players and. and we've got many other stories bind up for you on our website r t v dot com it could be difficult to light up a cigarette in your own apartment in los angeles very soon as city of herself and what could be a conscious person steps to improve public health. by the extreme measures for the olympics in london as the royal airport has given permission to shoot down passenger jets in a security crisis situation. but our guy faces virtual isolation in south america with neighboring states describing the swept out sink of former president fernando lugo in june as a new kind of coup brasilia brazil argentina and venezuela ties with the state over concerns about the ex leader's removal now part of the voted for the goes impeachment over last month's deadly clashes between farmers and police. it was
10:14 am
lost seventeen killed it was replace by his former deputy federico franco. government until elections next april and interviewed r t the deposed leader says what he thinks was behind his removal. of the young that this parliament is dominated by traditionalists conservatives and right wingers and even if jesus christ shows up out of the blue and tells them to change their mind they were right we were sabotaged all the way parliament gave us a budget with a deficit of eight hundred billion dollars so firms were in short supply for everything come in the truck propelled a deep crisis they asked us for fifty billion dollars for their politicians mind you these politicians are members of political parties who get paid for nothing so we said no that was the straw that broke the camel's back it was a politically charged trial disguised as a constitutional process as one m.p. said it all looked like a circus designed to depose
10:15 am
a democratically elected president. you can watch that full interview with fernando lugo after sixteen thirty g.m.t. and we're also hearing from the man who replaced him the new president frederico franco and his reaction to the coup claims. well a slew of new cuts have led to a fresh eruption of public anger and protest in spain rallies quickly turned violent when police charged and beat demonstrators ball firing rubber bullets more than seventy people were injured in the clashes yesterday cards driving the troubles include tax hikes and the promise of painful pension changes but the protesters say they're being made to pay for the mistake of politicians and bankers the measures were demanded by spain's creditors who plays madrid vital bailout for cripple anish banks more now on the economic and social crisis there a volunteer a founder of the lira s.p.t.
10:16 am
dot com crisis planning organization thanks for being with us on the line from santiago again many of the protesters say it's greedy bankers and colluding politicians that should be punished for starting this crisis do you see that actually happening well they're right on the one hand because that really bankers i mean competent government have not been able to solve the financial crisis but on the other hand what has happened is that people have been accustomed to nearly generous benefits over the last ten fifteen years frankly benefits that the spanish government the spanish people could ill afford now a lot of these are true forms and so far as employment benefits and the rest of that were carried out in germany during the so-called good times of two thousand and three two thousand and five and so on but now that these structural reforms especially in point reforms are necessarily going to have to be carried out in spain at the same time that you have the severe economic depression going well of course it's going to hurt people much much more that if you start to reforms it in
10:17 am
the carried out during good times. one of the last unbroken promises the government in spain made was not to touch the pension system now they say that they'll be reforming it is the crisis is so dire that promises are just too cheap to keep yes you're exactly right because look this is a basic accounting problem if you have you know too much too much money flowing out and not enough money flowing in in terms of tax receipts and the rest of it then of course eventually you're going to go bankrupt and that is what's going on with spain now of course all these pensions are simply too generous to be for the special are meant to be able to afford now they are going to have to cut them and of course as they continue to cut them because as i say this is basic accounting. now as they continue to cut these benefits you're going to see more and more social unrest and this is going to affect principle the center parties both center left and center right to the advantage of the extreme parties both far left and right
10:18 am
and so i would expect to see more and more protests that turned violent and more and more. growth in the extreme political parties as these extremist parties begin to make political hay out of people's discontent we're going to see this in spain we see it in italy and we're going to see in france in the near term future in the next year or two and so i would this is just the beginning we're going to see a lot worse soon. i don't think something that might worsen that is the fact that we're we're basically getting the message that bankers and the banks are immune to any of the mistakes that they made it's of course not just in spain but all over the world really now. yes and that's exactly the fault of the politicians who are in power because they are so beholden to the financial interests of the basically the banks as they're famously called but they are unwilling to do the forms that need to be done and so far as the banking system is concerned the banks profits are obscene the fact that these governments are bailing them out continuously is just
10:19 am
simply unconscionable now of course the people realize this and they are upset about it but of course the politicians do absolutely nothing to rein in the part of the gangsters and instead put out the police to start to be very cold about it cracking heads and not solving the problems that we have we have on the one hand an out of control financial sector which is basically raping the public. and on the other hand you have necessarily cuts to the very very generous social safety net that had been promised but simply cannot because it's simply too expensive now this is just a recipe for more and more social this intent that we are going to see throughout the e.u. right now you say that you expect mass protests really and in spain one of the features that has defined these protests is that they do often and in violence quite. tough violent sometimes we've seen houses and then say a barcelona madrid why are the police so heavy handed is that going to solve the
10:20 am
problem no certainly not the reason the police are so heavy handed is because the the people in power or the political leadership in the e.u. as well as the united states don't quite seem to understand what is going on and they don't quite seem to understand that they are holding to the jurors and so they are acting on behalf of the banks or as in a frankly i would accept a chronic regime now they are simply protecting the richest people in society which are the banks troops and they are saying that you have to comply at the security state that we have had over the. ten fifteen years certainly after the terrorist attacks at the beginning of the decade this is led politicians to assume that more force is needed to maintain the peace and this of course means more violence against people and more violence against the people means more protests around the law as as they are squeezed economically socially and politically right as that
10:21 am
word banks there's gathers more and more negative connotations though there are founder of there as p.g. dot com crisis planning group thank you very much for your analysis my pleasure thank you. well the protests in spain acar with what we saw on the streets of greece over the past two years but their care gas molotov cocktails and lines of riot police are no longer a common sight instead longstanding public anger is now taking new forms of expression taken griefs reports. greek streets of come to embody and tear stare to rage in the eurozone huge crowds have marched to voice their anger. with discontent fooling around deaf ear is different tools have also been employed to me the graffiti strewn on the capitals is simply an eyesore but for others it's a chance to keep their message keep their demonstration you've almost nobody else
10:22 am
on the streets protesting. with aerosols rather than amplifiers their outrage is left a lasting impact around greece. going by the name of muppets he largely uses graffiti to combat the growth in far right racism is taking the country by storm but others target the government's relationship with a major euro zone play is an impact it's had on a desperate population we can see here. and the money that the politicians spend about buying things we don't really want that military hardware was acquired from germany the official who bought it now resides in prison on charges of corruption some works appear to be more angry schools than art an outlet for a generation that feels forgotten others a more direct attempt to sway the opinion of a nation but all relatively new forms of activism and we don't have an experience
10:23 am
of this kind in the past mainly because since i was born in cleese or a couple of years later after the germans left greece as an occupying force. it's been it's been an upward ruled all the way he's last two or three years have been greece's first experience of going down rather than upward a stalled economy is soaring jobless rates a feud much of the anger from the podium to the problem not increasingly the e.u. euro zone and i.m.f. troika are being depicted as the rulers of greece of domestic politicians the subjects.
10:24 am
in the distance lies the rocket launcher that will be propelling at the thought used here may outdo the eye it says from by cannot cause we're talking about the team have had a very very busy weekend they've had press conferences with cameras and photographers all of the celebrity like lifestyle for them just before their big day friends and family have been gathered here at baikonur cosmodrome just giving them support and saying that we're all behind you on your important mission what will they be doing up there well as always a research and scientific research is on the agenda they'll be looking at looking at how humans can live in orbit with the world's media watching and photographers
10:25 am
clicking this shot as a way to get the perfect shot one wonders how the three people on the spot like today feel about their next mission to the international space station expedition thirty two thirty three is underway because they sort of started thinking about this a little bit and the black eyed peas come to mind and if you know the song tonight's going to be a good time and the second one of course is let's get this party started after two weeks in we're all very relaxed including the back of crews. we're ready for launch and. not just us but the vehicle itself is ready. i took one of my daughters small plastic toys i took it by accident so i must bring it back yuri of course was the first person to get married in space and his spirit of strength has always been his wife when i was how she felt she said lots of emotion i'm happy that he's doing what he loves to do so but that i'll be without
10:26 am
him for the space shuttle missions rely on many resources to make them possible but the rocket pad and space craft remains one of the most important aspects of getting the astronauts to orbit tons of steel and engineering put together so signs and astronauts can continue their research so what will this mission be looking out at . at the i assess i think the crews going to have a really exciting time on board space station because there's going to be so many activities going on with. nine visiting big balls going to be arriving and leaving from the station. and the e.v.a.'s should really be is a bit going on as well so it's going to be a very busy time for them. and then i have flown with that yuri on my last flight so i know they'll have a good time with siri. sonny is just very outgoing big areas saw use the launch of facilities technical complex constructions it really it isn't rocket science but
10:27 am
what about those who live among the rockets themselves the scientists what's life like for them living yeah connected with space when i go to work and i see a rocket disappearing into the skies i always clap it's a tradition here for good luck getting mechanics plane how i feel when i see a rocket launch every time it makes me feel nervous as if it was the first time i'd seen it i'm also very proud then to nationals based asian is the largest and most complex scientific project in history as the station's potential continues to grow most sophisticated research is in demand it's a shared vision of these astronauts and their community we're always looking to get the party started from earth to the milky way. the bomb was day. by canal as the sun. we have some very incredible pictures now we want to share with you of
10:28 am
a lucky escape indeed after a road smashed in the or in russia take a look this four digit was shot by a passenger bus driver you can see the bus here. just wait for it you see this truck caught on you go and of course it's worth fueling station several people were injured amazingly because this. nothing serious in the number of damaged cars but he unscathed scaped i should say on skates not a scratch and that's despite to have a vehicle speeding right at him and with nowhere to run as you saw well the miraculous survivor well now testifying as a witness to the incident we're going to take a short break and next we meet up with the people filling up healthfully i want supermarkets in america are throwing out that's after the headlines.
