double veto from russia and china at the u.n. as they block the use of force against the syrian regime while heavy border clashes in the country continue to rage. angry crowds are met with rubber bullets and tear gas and strain as the public events frustration at the country's policy of more cars and return for bank rescue by the e.u. . also name and blame israel now accuses iran's ally hezbollah attacking israeli tourists in bulgaria and killing six people.

oh and welcome to our t.v. this friday with me karen terror well the un security council has agreed to disagree on syria russia and china have vetoed another attempt by western states to push a resolution threatening sanctions and use of force against the assad regime now the extension of the u.n. observer mission in syria is at stake and marine important i reports. russia has said for from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would include the potential of sanctions being imposed or even military intervention this western backed resolution that was drafted by the u.k. called on damascus to immediately seize any kind of fighting and the use of heavy weapons and withdraw from populated centers and the resolution gave the

syrian government ten days to comply with those demands otherwise sanctions would be imposed. what was attached to that draft resolution is a forty five day extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria so that is quite clear why russia would not give its support to this western backed resolution because it was putting all the pressure and consequence on the syrian government and not putting any pressure consequence on the armed opposition that are part that's participating in the violence in syria that has been increasing as we've seen over the past seventeen months so the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the media saying that there is still a time for the security council to reach a consensus but he said that russia would not support any any moves or past for military intervention into syria and he also warned western countries may be trying

to destabilize syria to possibly of move further in and around iran to make you know to the lesions to you there is no. adult about it that the major geopolitical about is being fooled on the fields of sudan which has nothing to do with the interests of the syrian people the clock is ticking because if this mandate expires and it is not renewed then that means that the united nations would not have any force in syria that is. verifying what is taking place on the ground what. the u.n. said is that they have drafted britain has drafted a new resolution that was over the u.n. mission in syria for a final thirty days and that is something which the security council is considering but according to turkey there are still very many questions surrounding this new drama that has been proposed by britain the british draft is in many ways. because

it has only two q but that are going to and they contradict each other the first but are going to says that it's the final extension of thirty days and the second paragraph says that the mission can be extended provided certain conditions are being made and the united nations at the end of the day does need a mission on the ground because if that mission is removed then the situation in syria can get worse without any objective reporting that's tied to the u.n. . in an exclusive interview with r.t. russian ambassador to the un vitaly churkin explained why the country said no to the western backed resolution in the crucial vote on syria you can see it here in about twenty five minutes time meanwhile fierce clashes continue across syria as rebel fighters manage to seize all four border crossings with iraq and one into turkey more than twenty soldiers are reported to have been killed when a remote army outpost in iraq was attacked rebels also managed to take control of

two checkpoints on the frontier with turkey free syrian army is now trying to build on the momentum gained by fierce clashes in the capital and wednesday's bomb attack that killed top syrian military officials they also claimed for the first time to have captured a pocket of damascus trying to inspiring professor lawrence davidson from west chester university in the last says that if the international community really wants to stop the violence in syria it has to put pressure on those sponsoring the rebels. or un resolution was something of a red hering. because it wouldn't have made much difference on the ground the british ambassador to the u.n. made a statement that said that. the resolution would have helped save lives i think this is just utter fantasy i think from the american standpoint why into being openly when it's possible that the regime might fall not just through clandestine

intervention in direct intervention and if the british and the americans and the french want to save lives all they have to do is put pressure on those saudis and qataris and others to stop running guns into this area and tell you how a rebel. as lawrence davidson has surface or it was just university in the u.s. . angry protesters were met with tear gas and rubber bullets on spanish streets as they marched against more planned austerity a number of people were injured and many detained clashes followed massive peaceful demonstrations which were joined by tens of thousands of people across spain people are furious that public spending is once again being slashed in response to rescuing the banks the german parliament gave the green light for the one hundred billion euro bailout on thursday current affairs journalist charlie mcgrath says

the european governments are betraying their own people. in europe just like the rest of the world you know the what the western world we have the a system that is putting the onerous fraudulent debt of the bunch of private institutions on the back of the people now they're calling it austerity and there are a lot of people are you know they're completely frustrated they have nowhere else to turn and a lot of the signs even say we have nothing else that we can do other than take to the streets there is no representative government where there are there happens to be politicians that want to stand up on behalf of the people you know we have the european community deposing them in installing their own technocrats so you know big heavy handed tactics you know bought and paid for security that's going to go out and quell the rabble if the government decided to do the right thing by the people of the country i think there would be understanding that we're going to all go through the west the united states europe the entire planet is going to go through some tough economic times but when you have politicians going forward and

saying well you know what we're going to take more of your financial future so we can give it to a bunch of banks you know there's going to be reaching a limit of understanding by the citizenry of the world. almost six million people in spain are out of a job struggling to find the means to support themselves and their families some are seeking a better life beyond the borders of their country but it looks like they might have to go further afield the neighboring euro zone states artie's test ourselves or has the story. twenty four point six million people are without jobs across the european union seventeen point four million of them in the euro zone countries without employment at its highest levels of the single currency was introduced in spain unemployment hit twenty four point three percent the worst rate in the e.u. in among the spanish and greek youth it's more than half. statistics may paint the big picture but they don't quite show the human story real people struggling

through each day like this one gary a man who came to belgium three months ago that's leaving in a street and i never did before so it's really really hard i disappointed you know i don't want b.b.c. three of them i mean i don't want i don't i don't want to. be you know is that. i want to work i want to go to. the current levels of unemployment around acceptable. it's eighty eight simply cannot continue this way and it also leads to reliance on state subsidies a polite face by job seekers across all sectors and all levels of society when you are within the european institutions too early to be detached from there and you are among the. euro kratz when you say unemployment benefits are too high compared to paid salaries this is the wrong way to see the problem most people aren't paid

enough for their jobs in two thousand and ten more than twenty five percent of the e.u.'s g.d.p. was devoted to social benefits seen as a heavy burden on a crisis stricken europe since then various cuts have been made by member states particularly greece portugal spain and ireland as part of e.u. imposed stared even powerhouse germany has joined in the crunch a local newspaper reported seeing a leaked directive from the labor ministry blocking a basic unemployment benefits for people who moved to germany from some e.u. countries and it's been a target as an attempt to curb abuse of the system by discouraging immigration from struggling e.u. economies you can't really blame the individual people they are just a victim as everyone else from an economic system in which they're living and you come on. many of those who don't tout thoughts turn to the state for unemployment

benefits which may be reduced a bit as a bit already due to continue to sturdy across the eve you know substantive budget cuts have also stunted economic growth and job creation which leaves the job seeker at exactly the same spot jobless state dependent and increasingly extreme cases living in desperation just or sylvia artsy brussels. still to come this hour attack or self defense the u.k. could declare a cyber war on its enemies with m.p.'s calling for the aggressive use of korver acting to protect the country's interests even though it's illegal. and mounting foreign threats to see china pumping billions into amassing weapons promoting fears of a new arms race. israel is now blaming hezbollah the a lebanese ally of iran for carrying out an attack on a bus with israeli tourists in bulgaria which left six dead and earlier israeli pm

benjamin netanyahu said all signs pointed at iran with turkey refuting the accusations as baseless but the standoff between the two seems to have reached new heights as archie's paula slayer reports but no minutes on yahoo says that the focus and because of this attack that happened on wednesday in the modern city of burgas is clearly on the shoulders of hizbollah netanyahu says that his bill that acts as the longer of iran in the region and while this is no secret certainly everybody here does know that hizbullah is a proxy for iran and the fact that an attorney who is not naming his below is only going to food to stroke tensions in the region israeli prime minister also went on to say that it was no ned head attack to be behind attacks on israelis in countries like thailand georgia greece and cyprus in the past not israel has true. to deal with his bill on the past but it has failed back in two thousand and six israel

went to war with lebanon on over his below but by all accounts that was a war which israel lost at the time it was said that hizbullah a small army of fighters was able to take on the great israeli defense forces and women it gave the arab world back its wide so to some since israel has almost an say told school college was his villa and that is why there is a lot of speculation whether or not by now naming his villa this one yahoo is going to try and use the bus bombing on the winds day as a pretext for perhaps attacking his fellow once again but the timing could not be worse you've gone to a region in flux you've got on going violence in neighboring syria you've got for the first time and islamised president in neighboring egypt but netanyahu is also known for often using the international concerns and the international community to do it to detract attention away from problems he has on the domestic front there is the real threat that you will see social protest is growing in number in the coming

weeks we need to just remember that last year we saw social demonstrations in this country that's all the largest number of his ratings on the streets and at the same time this week the largest israeli political party. the ruling coalition of netanyahu says that he has problems to deal with on the domestic front. political analyst kamel walsall believes netanyahu is claims are nothing more than rhetoric aimed at improving his own standing. that has made it very clear that they are not going to use tourist in eastern europe to carry. against israeli and i think they made very clear statement they're against killing i mean civilian the weather is an israeli or other people but i think mr netanyahu always tried to play the iranian card down the hezbollah card to remind the international community that he has an enemy and it comes to the point because the nuclear file of the iranian always wanted to keep it on the spot light i think it's merely rhetoric and i would in

a lot of money on what netanyahu will say he's very good at what he does are using this a broad background to gain popularity inside of israel but i think at this point the region is on fire and i think the last things that every indian or hizbullah will take you know a shock value in israeli which they clearly said they will not target. israel iran and other countries are at odds with the u.s. and europe and they could find themselves under a fresh unconventional attack british m.p.'s say the u.k. should declare cyber war on states and organizations which target it by carrying out aggressive hacker attacks itself here's archies laura smith if you can't beat em join em that seems to be britain's new attitude when it comes to dealing with cyber attacks a new report by the u.k.'s intelligence and security commission has concluded it's

not enough to defend against cyber attacks additionally the military and spy agencies should be actively declaring cyber war on enemy state attack evidently is in their view the best form of defense although in this case they're calling it active defense. they're voicing that britain should be secretly hacking into enemy systems using programs like the stuxnet virus which disrupted iran its nuclear enrichment program it comes just two years after the launch of a six hundred fifty million pounds national soluble security program but progress according to the m.p.'s on the committee has been slow the national security strategy ranks the threat of cyber attacks alongside that of terrorism and yet this committee of m.p.'s seems fully prepared to engage in it itself this despite the

fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks all preventable three basic measures like using security software and proper post. cyber attacks of course have another name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its first hacking case is currently in the courts including that of autism suffer a gary mckinnon he's been voicing his extradition to the us for hacking into the pentagon's computer system for ten years now so far his government has refused to protect him maybe if state sponsored hacking becomes the norm that will change. well there certainly no cyber wars on our web site are all the way of us news and videos here's what's online for you right now. how more than a third of japanese children who live in the area affected by last year's nuclear

mordant china resembles the soviet union just like the last days of the u.s.s.r. billions are being spent on military needs and despite the seeming economic disparity the gap between the rich and the poor is simply striking in the last year alone the number of poor in china has hit a quarter of a billion but instead of addressing daunting poverty issues beijing is having to buy new weaponry and investing billions into producing its own you have a large army this is now the second largest in the world hundred six billion dollars this is an enormous expenditure of wealth. that could make a real impact. on poverty and it's also happening at a time when there is a moment slowdown that is happening. throughout asia the same applies to india which last year was the world's leading weapon importer including an eye watering

twenty billion dollars worth of french fighter jets this is why washington's return to asia policy from selling weapons to holding joint war games in the region is deeply troubling countries here especially china the u.s. wants full spectrum dominance in the region in what it wants to project its military power to everyone concerned specially china i think the u.s. may not be headed for a direct military confrontation with china at the moment but the u.s. wants to china wants to encircle china and keep it subservient to us that this situation draws historic parallels with the cold war say experts many are still sure that the huge arms race in the one nine hundred sixty s. between the united states in the u.s.s.r. was washington stacked into some of the soviet economy. the becoming more gloomy group is that if we continue on through we could. see it's a stupid. it's been going on ever since the fifty's for the you would look
