ballance players in bahrain rubber bullets and tear gas rained down on anti-government protesters meanwhile the court delays its verdict on prominent human rights activists until next month. it was the largest islamic body suspended syria with a ram the only member speaking out in support of damascus. and that could also president decide to decide the fate of julian assange he's waiting for an asylum ruling that says u.s. hackers try to crash the wiki leaks website. hello this is r t eight nine pm now here in moscow my name's kevin owen and the top

story for this hour fresh clashes a flare up in bahrain overnight and the government protesters were met with tear gas and rubber bullets with reported injuries and arrests meantime a court has delayed the verdict in the retrial of twenty human rights activists there until next month however prominent campaign the now bill rad job is not among them with his verdict said to be delivered on thursday his prosecution galvanized the shiite rebels in their eighteen month long fight for equal rights for the saudi monarchy currently serving his latest three month sentence for making anti government comments on twitter and taking part in a legal gathering to political analyst patrick henningsen believe despite calls from u.s. lawmakers to release washington is calling on bahrain to suppress the rebels. in bahrain i believe they're getting their marching orders directly from the pentagon the bahraini royal family which is to quell and press in the center and the reason is. the pentagon simply cannot afford to have

a genuine uprising or any form of political instability in a country that is housing its fifth naval fleet is very important because right now after the election or right around the u.s. election there is a war drums against iran they're going to start beating those again and start hyping up a conflict with iran the fifth fleet is a really important piece on the chess board for the united states so obviously bahrain is going to do whatever washington said but this is an direct contradiction to hillary clinton who's parading around with the friends of syria and the arab league and talking about them about democracy while the us is funding al qaeda and suicide bombers in syria so it doesn't make it there's no there's a lot of hypocrisy is coming out of washington when you look at the situation in bahrain which is very ugly. this is r.t. still to come for your friends for the cameras amid growing big brother criticism of the us the government said to be secretly spying on the american public

connecting nationwide c.c.t.v. in a bid to detect suspected terrorists got more now coming up interesting stories also we look at just who might benefit from keeping part of asia stable and filled with terror as we explore the largest province of pakistan. the world's biggest global body outside the u.n. suspending syria's membership the organization of islamic cooperation will also hold of emergency summit to agree a resolution on the country iran's the only member of the block to openly spoken out against sideline in damascus but several member countries like qatar and saudi arabia are pushing to mobilize support for syrian rebels longstanding regional rivals sunni dominated riyadh and shiites have taken opposite stances on syria i guess it expects this is syria's opposition steps up calls for a libya style intervention with reports that fighters who topple gadhafi are among rebel ranks let's talk more about this now with dr every milou she's from is it to a university and a man dr you live on r.t. thanks for taking the time to be with us it's kevin owen here tonight talking to

you know some experts say serious conflict is long ceased being a domestic one that it's not only about rebels versus a sad but more of a question of saudi arabia versus the rand and turkey's increasing role in the middle east the so much in the pot here isn't there what do you think. i think it's not only sort of the area versus iran that's also russia and china versus nato and the united states what we are talking about here is a conflict with many many of dimensions that are a mainly not domestic that are mainly original and. in scope so what we have here is an armed rebellion that is being supported financed and politically covered by these people but dollars mainly money earned from selling oil and in the service of imperialism and these people have been raising and waving the flags of freedom and democracy but we have seen some of their these they have

committed in syria most recently in aleppo against supporters of the us had the regime and they are many by the way there are many in syria and and i would say at least more than half the population are solidly behind. the regime now and these people may have grievances and they may have things that they want to change about that regime but they are definitely against the fragmentation of syria and filling syria's streets with blood as has been happening recently as you have seen don't give much credence to the former syrian prime minister who we heard today cause he recently defected to jordan he said syria's regime is collapsing you says it controls less than thirty percent or about thirty percent of the country so if that's true why are the rebels pleading for a no fly zone and foreign action in syria begs the question doesn't it. i

think mystery his job who has recently defect the jordaan having been prime minister and without practically giving and the legitimate list of demands or complaints against the regime that he was serving and many believe he was bought off by so there may be on qatar with millions of dollars we don't know much right now but that's that's the story we have been getting from from different quarters as far as controlling the lands. you know that they main bases the cities the main streets are controlled by the regime and its supporters but when you have a hide and seek operation taking place as you have witnessed in chechnya and other places around the russia it's fairly easy for a group of rebels that are being held and financed from abroad to operates under guerrilla warfare to strike here and there and then disappear it's very crucial

that we mention here that the meeting and that was that that is aiming to expel the syrian regime comes on the heels of another defeat for the syrian opposition and i let go they were supposed to have held their meeting for foreign ministers and two days ago but that was postponed. and wait for what was going to happen and i love and of course the opposition forces and i love after having said that that bottle was supposed to be the decisive one to win over syria while they fled before a handful of banks and a few thousand soldiers the syrian army did not even have to throw all of its way into the bottle so i think go ahead. slightly running out of town a few thing. i want to ask you there are also reports that the u.s.

and other western states are seeking to build more direct links with the rebels while at the same time trying to distance themselves we hear from the syrian national council who maybe don't trust so much anymore how exactly is washington going to deal with the rebels who are going to deal with are going to go direct. have seen are made up of the front bands there are outlaws smugglers there are muslim brothers there are al qaida supporters and then the from places they cooperate or they compete against one another sometimes using guns so the purpose here is to destroy the country and many many syrians and arabs have come to see that for what it is is syria is supposed to fall into chaos and fragmentation as has happened in somalia before and iraq so the united states has been engaged and implementing the design of creative chaos in syria

which basically leaves. the superpower the regional superpower that is dealing with dozens upon dozens of men the states that have been cut off along ethnic and sectarian lines to. say to the university to man thanks ever so much for your thoughts. thank you. president says he hopes to decide on june the sun just political asylum plea later this week. told state t.v. that there were still legal issues to examine before making what he called a responsible decision to end the surge has been holed up in ecuador's london embassy now since june with the league said it is wanted on sex crimes charges in sweden but believes that extradition of a stockholm will see him shipped straight off to the united states to be tried for exposing secret diplomatic cables the fight to stop a scaling asylums moved online to with a group of u.s. hackers launching an attack on the wiki leaks website into their pages but affected

for over a week now the head of the u.k.'s pirate party laws kay told me he believes there's a bigger force behind the hack it's thank you but we can show me see that there is a concerted attempt to interfere with a whistle blowing site at the moment this is appears to be the most concern or attack and denial of service attack all regularly for some time now and indeed as you said in the report this group and she leaks has claimed responsibility and put out in new amateurish statements with magical wiki leaks themselves in some kind of united states. though certainly. the amount of traffic seems to amount to miles that me and the machine now difficult to assess shoes in any of the training they would actually seen online actually that a group like antiques a new group we able to mount such as the stained tag but nevertheless it's not

impossible also it is in fact possible to do this with fewer than one thousand machines without will take some. or some organization behind it. those case but it's been a bit early and i just over now we taught to apple co-founder steve wozniak who says the wiki leaks founder julian assange has become a serious thought of the side of the u.s. government. on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the whistleblower blew the truth the people found out what they the people had paid for you know when the government has known or know that people should not know what they paid for what the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody owned the internet space countries didn't own it they didn't control it was worldwide it was people to people it was like we were little people the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and we didn't have to go through other people selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a lot i think that a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i theory i fear

it will be that the gate keepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me yeah i fear that very strongly that especially net neutrality issues like that internet freedom is being interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't bound by any individual country's laws maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles and wife and then as soon as a country figures out a way to get control of them it disappears. americans have been delivered a surveillance slap in the face off it was revealed that the u.s. government's been spying on its own citizens so if we're called claims to be able

to detect behavior associated with it would be terrorists by using c.c.t.v. cameras censorship and technology campaign a source explains a bit more. the n.s.a. is able to use cameras all over the country to zoom in on someone and track them wherever they go there's actually you know they they say explicitly the cameras can pan tilt and zoom in on particular faces so that wherever you are in the country at any of these high risk locations whether they're military bases or corporations or government sites they can zoom in on you track what you're doing at all the pictures across the entire country or the entire globe it all goes into a big face recognition database so that you know if they see the same person at multiple places they can track them wherever they go and in fact there are reports that they've been talking to companies like facebook and so on so not only can they track you in the real world but they can track your face wherever you post online and now can capture. of innocent americans millions of innocent americans the notion that all of this is happening totally unaccountable by

a private corporation that's building these big databases of where anyone is at any time and being able to zoom in on them it's really quite frightening there's no evidence that this is helping keep us more secure the government has repeatedly failed to show examples of where collecting all of this vast for with data has actually prevented terrorist attacks instead what we do have are clear examples where it's been abused used against the constitution the fourth amendment protections we have in the united states and used to go after political enemies as opposed to actual terrorists. it's the largest province in pakistan and plays host to the crossroads of serious international economic interests energy resources intelligence agencies and homegrown terrorism and the region soon finds itself a focus of growing global importance and concern is he's going to she can explain. don. you may have never heard of it or maybe caught a glimpse of it in a hollywood blockbuster but the place is a hawk this nation for intelligence services from around the globe hotbed of the

insurgency home to various terrorist organizations kidnappings assassinations terror that's part of everyday life in baluchistan looking at its location as part of pakistan bordering afghanistan and he ran you may think well no surprise they enjoy his place but apart from being a dangerous place the lucious done is a big geo political importance where major world powers have interest and china one of them a lucious than a sitting at the crossroads of oil and gas pipelines coming from central asia iran's and elsewhere the iran pakistan pipeline that took minutes then of ghana's stand pakistan india pipeline not to mention that baluchistan itself has its energy resources besides its water port and its right here is the access point of chinese chinese commercial shipping to the indian ocean and on to africa.

but all the violence and instability there doesn't make it an easy place for business investigative journalist very draitser tells me some world powers might be interested in keeping it that way first of all we have various indigenous terrorist organizations that operate inside of below tristan the liberation army. republican army lashkar e tayyiba just to name a few. is an organization that for decades has been focused on destabilization of iran now the confluence of these various terrorist organizations of course is not coincidental this has a direct relation to the interests of the united states in the western powers these the blocking the chinese the stable. as in pakistan and part of waging their covert war against iran in hopes of not just in circling that country but to collapse it from outside the us government denies having any connection with the june dollar

and baluch terrorist organizations although cia memos leaked recently say these really mossad recruited john dollar members quote under the nose of u.s. intelligence officers end of quote as far as other terrorist groups like the baluch liberation front there are a few people in u.s. congress who expressed readiness to support the separation of baluchistan from pakistan like dana rohrbacher from the house of representatives comedian on foreign affairs any bad if anything that's coming up right now that the pakistanis don't like about our attitude is being caused by the actions taken by their government as far as who could benefit from instability in baluchistan most experts say it's extremists of all kinds mainly al-qaeda and its affiliates and as well as the taliban they certainly have an interest in maintaining instability but some also see baluchistan is a key square on the geopolitical chessboard the united states knows they cannot

compete with china economically or industrially so they have to stun china's development through these various subversive tactics they're willing to engage with various terrorist networks that they've had for many many years if not decades in order to try to make the chinese stall in their economic development so according to you wars are real and creating instability is one of the instruments to gain advantage but wouldn't it backfire and that terror violence instability could it backfire in terms of terrorist reciprocation against the united states this is entirely possible but that didn't prevent the united states in the late one nine hundred seventy s. from financing and supporting the mujahideen against the soviets allegations that some global powers maybe stay. violence in a place like baluchistan for their geopolitical interests are quite disturbing and raises the question whether pipeline wars are a reality in washington i'm going to check out. more stories few online of course

twenty four seven the scales of israeli justice are out of balance wrong as was made right that's the call from activists after israeli soldiers killed a palestinian mother and daughter was given just one month in jail and what was meant to have been a spectacular show in spain turned into catastrophe of a road work ignited thousands of others in a church bell tower that goes you can see the extraordinary video on our you tube channel to. run the world is tuesday night in brief a series of deadly attacks of hit afghanistan multiple suicide bombers of it the town of the ranch in the southwest of the country the death toll now being put at thirty six over one hundred were injured meantime a separate bomb blast in the northern province of. killed at least ten people including children. but it has continued for a city of more than one hundred youths from a deprived neighborhood clashed with authorities buildings and cars were set alight swell police were shot sixteen officers were injured president francoise lance

vowed to get to the situation under control by sending reinforcements violent riots in france are become a common occurrence in recent years with a sense of unease persisting in many poor ethnic neighborhoods. one hundred kurds clashed with police in the south east of turkey protesters threw stones and potential bombs at security forces who responded with smoke grenades and water cannon the violence comes twenty eight years to the day since the kurdistan workers party began its insurgency against turkey developing an autonomous state. but you do i believe from a democratic republic of congo along with three of the country's coaches says god missing in the u.k. following the end of the in limping games the men disappeared from the olympic village with their luggage and the reportedly no answering their phones authorities in london are also looking for seven athletes from cameroon and also go missing there were reported to be trying to stay in the country to continue with their boxing and claim that have to give up the sport if they return home.

they will athletes the want the u.k.'s only concerns right now that the elim pigs have come to a close the games chief military planner says involvement in security for london twenty twelve means it'll take the operations of the armed forces two years to recover now that is it was revealed that the olympics also failed to boost britain's dire economic climate laura smith reports. it was a full night of sports and celebration but now that the party is over the house inevitably kicks in it's come in the form of a big economic headache and the governor of the bank of england hasn't provided any relief as he says the live picture leads to any kind of last sting boost to the british economy mervyn king ted olson the game's current old said the underlying economic situation the country faces and the reality of that situation is becoming increasingly clear the u.k. is officially in a double dip recession the u.k. economy's been string cake for the last week quarters and the latest report from

the bank of england basically puts the growth forecast but this year at zero revised down from an estimate of north point eight percent in may one of the things contributing to a lack of growth this recession in the euro's day and damaging exports but something else the u.k. central bank cites is holding but growth is the government's fiscal consolidation program in a serious crisis of public confidence five out of six voters now believe the coalition won't survive until the next general election in two thousand and fifteen the liberal democrats and conservatives have vowed to stick together to solve the economic woes but if they fail to do that it could easily be a very long and painful hangover. thankfully without the business to. do so well we've got serve we've got the markets pushing up but there's certain text for example which are going very deep down and that's groupon

for example is take a look at first at the figures what's going on the dow and the nasdaq and indeed moving very slowly but still just a point one percent because one share on the mast which is going to twenty seven percent down and that's group on the internet which specializes. selling discounts and coupons for the from services and goods well basically it had an i.p.o. last november and saw the shares at twenty dollars per share now they're worth barely five and a half dollars so basically not a good investment down seventy five percent from the i.p.o. price very bad well of facebook is still looking very much lower than the i.p.o. this could mean could mean an indication of a new tech bubble basically you do need to watch out for those dollars now over in the europe we've had the positive g.d.p. data from france and from germany coupled with u.s. retail sales which came also better than expected with this is the closing picture

that we've seen frankfurt up one percent on the currencies market the euro is flat versus the dollar well the russian ruble managed to post actually some gains against both parents and even against the euro which was stronger against the greenback for the most up to a session now on the what is this commodities light sweet and brant are adding around half a dollar per barrel this is on expectations that on wednesday we might see a report of u.s. crude in the trees shrinking again to the lowest level in four months and therefore the hype on the russian market these high or prices have been providing support for a second day in a row d.l.c. s m i six very point seven percent which is pretty good compared to the rest of the world those past two sessions are now moving to my sextile we have the report of the profits and so did gazprom second quarter profits coming in really a season of reports right now and everyone's apparently so far reports it will

profit shrinking but i guess traders expectations were worse than that more pessimistic and therefore that's a positive surprise to the. russians however continue to spend more and more and go deeper into debt. now corporate loans are growing three times slower then loans to just people personal loans apparently russians have been taught a lesson from previous crises and now they know that inflation and ruble devaluation can eat up your savings so therefore they go out and spend that other picture of wars. what a feeling of self and all folding prizes a scooping russia a slumping old price a roof will come up like in the mind is what the russians doing about it well they go shopping but they are born with more money than ever to do so present card debt is expected to rise almost eighty five percent this year it is already thirty three

percent and that is adding writable market minimum twenty four percent interest when the crisis threatens europeans historically tighten their belts postponing big purchases such as cars and houses by the russians this july for example more than two hundred fifty thousand new cars were sold here in russia more than pre-crisis peaks in two thousand and eight mortgages already. this figure is expected to truthful by the gear and despite the fact that the russian transfield must pay a minimum twelve per cent annual interest three times higher than in the u.s. for example. as for everyday shopping while fails in europe the creasing. bargain for the post here grew by seven per cent it could be we are seeing a distinct russian consumer confidence but what. kind of lies in europeans low cost suspicious russians sure lower prices even more lower shelf and continue to high
