7:01 pm
early morning to you three am here in the russian capital i'm lucy catherine of and you're watching or are taking your first story today a man has set himself a light turn protests in tel aviv this is as thousands of israelis have gathered for a nation wide demonstrations marking a year since the start of a movement for social justice and the man is reportedly now being treated for serious injuries in the hospital campaigners hope that the anniversary will give a second wind to their demands of her better public services such as health education and housing activist she knows stocking who joined us earlier from the heart of the protests said that the movement will not die out until israelis see real change. all the decisions and the committees who are held by the government
7:02 pm
who are completely cosmetics there are real changes. start even in the big by the government and they're just trying to put us down by not really doing any kind of change after one year but we're not going to go back home we're going to keep on running in the streets and keep on fighting until that will be a real change in israel people left wing and right wing. the same interests that their kids won't go hungry to school. up warehousing where nonviolence where people from do if it's really important for me to say that. to egypt now where the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has just arrived to the country for her very first talks with its newly elected as president mohamed morsi now she says that she is there to push for a completion of post revolution change in the country and for economic restoration but middle east expert and independent journalist larry everest says this
7:03 pm
illustrates the country's america's actually eagerness to retain influence in egypt take a look. hillary clinton is claims she's there to help the people themselves determine their future but that's not what's going on hillary clinton and the rest of the us establishment are working out a very fraught situation to make sure the military the military with which they have. remains the dominant force in the egyptian state as it remains today and the gyptian state which was so discredited under mubarak actually religion in my eyes and strengthened by incorporating new social forces like the muslim brotherhood there was no revolution in egypt a state power a means and their hands at the same institutions and class the brotherhood
7:04 pm
represents no fundamental break with. egypt's role in the u.s. dominated the oval capitalist economy or great with u.s. interests in the middle east the u.s. remains the dominant power it's trying to maintain dominance in the new situation with new tactics in the wake of the arab spring as people are rising up against the old order of the us superior. their grip on this region. now for rebel fighters have told syrian t.v. that they were given orders to attack security forces and the promise of hama because of course at the site of a suspected massacre earlier this week now the group had said that they were given an order to take up positions across the town that this is a before the syrian army entered it and were going to strike first and these details are emerging as the un's observer mission has arrived to hama and want to
7:05 pm
investigate all points of the carnage which activists say left over two hundred people dead and washed. and its allies were very quick to blame the government for more on the blame game and what's really going on in syria let's turn now to her and historian gerald horn gerald thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today now a lot of the details are very unclear in the situation i'm a massacre or a gunfight between opposing sides in the civil war in your view what is behind these conflicting accounts. well first of all it's very curious just before united nations meetings next month to take place and. then we hear reports about massacres whole the whole massacre as a whole just a few weeks ago certainly the new york times on its website new york times was very close to washington and ruled in circles there's no there there were not two
7:06 pm
hundred deaths at this so-called massacre that there were perhaps one hundred they also report that this was basically a far fight between the syrian military and armed groups those they also. unlike one would expect for most massacres there were no women and children who were killed they were mostly young men in apparently young men well warm well what is that the point that you just mentioned with the fact that even the new york times is reporting of these conflicting accounts i mean these confessions were given on syrian state t.v. so of course some people could say dismiss this as essentially syrian propaganda that according to some people right but if we even have the new york times quoting from what is the organization the syrian observatory for human rights the u.k. based opposition organization putting questions on the number of those killed finding that most of the dead were as you said young men what does that say about the credibility of this uprising essentially. well questions have been raised as
7:07 pm
you well know first of all there are leading members of the syrian national council . previously to the council. foreign relations and a neat think tank in manhattan the united states of america very close to washington i might say it's well known the saudi. government and arming these rebels to the teeth that they are cooperating with the turks it's also well know that there are those who would like to see a replay of the libyan misadventure when cries. of the syrian intervention was basically a. small or a regime change in regime change is the name of the game when it comes to syria but how do you fight this kind of situation i mean if as you say you have these outside powers who are essentially digging in and trying to side with the rebels fighting their own perhaps for their own perhaps interests how do you move forward and this kind of situation i mean how do you achieve peace if the parties involved in this
7:08 pm
conflict aren't just internal players. well that's the sixty four dollar question but there are some developments that are taking place as we speak that might change the game i'm sure you know about the recent uprisings that have taken place in eastern saudi arabia in the oil producing region of the oil country. that riyadh will be tied down sooner rather than later and putting out fires in its own backyard rather than trying to ignite u.s. fars in syria i think that is also important to note that in the recent meeting in the syrian opposition there was a noticeable really with the syrian kurds basically deciding to stand apart from the rest of the opposition because they like many others. like influenced imbedded in the opposition i should also say though there is certainly a lot that has developed consisting of syria iraq and iran that's going to be very
7:09 pm
difficult to dislodge no matter what the saudis and the tories and their north atlantic allies choose to do but that certainly cast doubts on any possible negotiation of peace that there are so many sub covert interests like us fighting in syria but let me ask you before we have to wrap up here if we have questions emerging about the credibility of these allegations of a massacre if it seems that the picture is not as black and white as it's been reported in the western media in terms of what's going on in syria what do you think that what cations are for the future of president bashar al assad if any i mean can anything change for him and the international community. well i think that that's probably too soon to say what's going to happen to the president although certainly his military is well i must say i've been very disturbed by these recent reports in the united states press the chemical weapons in syria we're told that these allegations about weapons of mass destruction was
7:10 pm
a great ending to the attack on saddam hussein's iraq just some years ago it seems that the same kind again is now being played would not surprise me in the least if nato already is hashing a plan quickly where it looks we're going to get a series of well it's certainly a dangerous game with a lot of potential and negative consequences not the least of which the loss of life gerald horne thank you so much for joining us that is harold horne author and historian. all right well arty's maria phone ocean is one of the few foreign correspondents reporting from the heart of serious on the rest i want to bring up the fact you can follow all the latest doppler developments from the conflict zone on her twitter feed there you can also find firsthand comments analysis as well as images.
7:11 pm
right well while the world's top whistleblower julian i saw him just waiting for an asylum ruling out that dorian embassy in london has caused as a thriving across the atlantic at 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 quote big brother policy is what is there to report but before there was we q.e. there was hope that's an acronym that stands for hackers on planet earth and i am not there nine. new york city this is a bi annual event we're not first come together to discuss different topics such as government surveillance freedom on the internet the surrounding whistleblowers and of course there are also discussions about how do you keep the system years ago julian assange on schoenberg wiki leaks the supposed to be the keynote speaker at the last spring this year it was menacing whistle blower william binney he worked
7:12 pm
for the n.s.a. thirty seven years for stepping down and he said that it was the u.s. government's encroaching surveillance of his citizens that was close to him to finally leave his post and 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. real foundation of this country is the spying that's going on and. internally in the united states with its own our own people you know when you had the freedom to do think you could try to use and you had but you felt that this country would let you try things and now you're starting to since the sense is that people are getting is that they're spying on is trying to control us when he has to do certain things and not other things do you think julian assange in some way provided a good service to americans you know absolutely because it's freedom of information it makes people in government accountable for their actions but the majority of
7:13 pm
people here are a few supporters of freedom of information that's essentially the same thing that julian the son said hell tim inspired him to read we can only subsequently disclose classified information but governments around the world according to me or you know organize our team. i will add it to concerns about privacy are reports of a new generation of laser based scanners are supposed to be were deployed in the u.s. and airports and border crossings now while people under these scanners don't know that they're under examination the machines are working at a molecular level and can apparently detect anything on our inside your body even your lunch in an instant now earlier we spoke to independent journalist charlie mcgrath and he says that all of this is really just about making money and not improving security. look at the fact that we're now it's like drones for domestic law enforcement around the country of course we're going to see disparate to the general public we will be under the eye of big brother we're going to hear that
7:14 pm
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 state to the 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 industry a complex we see a perpetuation of the fine ocracy where financial interests write legislation that govern this country and all this talk of fearing an argument in a shot out of every closet or coming out from underneath everybody's bed is nothing more than a fear tactic so we can enrich a very few people on this planet now as always there is a much more that we're covering than what you saw on the air today are a lot more stories on our website just point your browser to our t.v. dot com one of those stories it could be difficult if you can imagine it to light
7:15 pm
up a cigarette in your very own home that is if you live in los angeles city officials there are planning what could be a controversial step what they say to improve public health also extreme measures for the olympics in london as the royal air force is reportedly given permission to shoot down passenger jets in a security crisis situation. right while a slew of new cuts and tend to reduce spain's national deficit by sixty billion euros has led to a fresh eruption of public anger and protest and country but rallies during the week quickly turned violent when police charged and beat demonstrators while firing rubber bullets and one seventy people more importantly injured in these clashes yesterday cut driving the trouble include tax hikes and promise of paying. pension changes but the protesters say that they are the ones that are being made to pay for the mistakes the politicians and bankers made and the measures were demanded by
7:16 pm
spain's creditors who had pledged to madrid in a vital that bailout for crippled spanish banks now earlier we spoke to go on follow he's the founder of the s b g dot com crisis planning organization and he says that unfortunately he expects more violence to come. you know the basically the banks as you're famously call but they are unwilling to do the forms that need to be done so far as the banking system is concert together based profits are obscene and i think that these governments are bailing them out continuously is just simply i think conscionable now of course the people realize these have they are upset about it but of course the politicians do absolutely nothing to rein in the part of the banks and instead what i thought we could lose to start to be very vocal about it fracking is now as we continue to cut these benefits you're going to see more and more social unrest this is led politicians to assume that more force is needed to maintain the peace and this of course means more violence against people moments against the people means more of the law as they are squeezed
7:17 pm
economically socially and politically and so i would expect to see more and more protests 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 going to be the next year or two and so i would this is just the beginning we're going to see a lot worse. dire predictions there but unfortunately the protests in spain really echo with what we saw on the streets of greece over the past few years there tear gas molotov cocktails and lines of riot police are no longer a common sight and steadily longstanding public anger is that one taking on new forms of expression are to. jacob green has more. greek streets of come to embody mt of steroids the rage in the eurozone huge crowds have marched to
7:18 pm
voice their anger. with discontent fooling around deaf ear is different tools have also been employed for 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 along with nobody else 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 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
7:19 pm
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 a relatively new forms of activism we don't have an experience 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 rate a few much of the anger from. podium to the problem increasingly the euro zone and i.m.f. troika are being depicted as the rumors of greece of domestic politicians the subjects
7:20 pm
. you need to work on. sentiment that's growing and was the government continues to do with the eurozone imposed austerity the right thing for greece is ready on the take of greece athens want to a different side of the globe powell why faces a virtual isolation in south america with neighboring states describing the swift ousting of former president fernando lugo in june as a new kind of code now brazil argentina and venezuela have loosened ties with the state or deep concerns about the former leader's removal now parliament voted for lugo's impeachment over last month's deadly clashes between farmers and police in a vixen dispute which saw unfortunately seventeen people killed he was replaced by his former french rico franco who is now going to lead a transitional government until elections next april now in an interview with our
7:21 pm
team the deposed leader says what he thinks was behind his removal of the young that parliament 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 and when the chaco flood 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 a democratically elected president. i always just heard a little bit of that interview with fernando lugo we also actually spoke to the man who replaced him the new president for draco franco he gave his reaction to the

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 but i'm happy that he's doing what he loves to do so but that i'll be without 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 crew's going to have a really exciting time onboard space station because there's going to be so many activities going on with. time visiting vehicles going to be arriving and leaving from the station. and big e.v.a.'s to be is a big 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
