the good of. your show. pussy riot and their global fan club for new governments and media hit out at the two year jail sentence given to the members of the russian female punk band. reaching the president veterans and protesters take over barack obama's election office in oakland calling for the release of jailed whistleblower bradley manning. plots and occupation in flames nato and international troops on alert as afghan forces deemed friendly increasingly turned their guns on their man. this is r t you coming to live from moscow the jailing of three members of russian

punk band pussy riot has attracted criticism from across the world and seen protests in support of the women they received a two year sentence on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for their mosque prayer in russia's main orthodox cathedral foreign governments also have their say on russia's internal matter the u.s. even calling on the authorities to review the case are reports from new york. there's been both political and public reaction over the pussy riot verdict now around the globe there has been several protests on friday in support of the three russian band members that were convicted of hooliganism paris brussels london and tell of evil are among the cities where demonstrators gathered to denounce the trial and the two year sentencing those that are in support of these three women and members of the pussy riot say that the decision that was made by moscow's court . emblematic of russia's intolerance of dissent on the more political front

the u.s. embassy in russia has called the verdict unfair and. there was also reaction coming from amnesty international which said that the decision was a bitter blow to freedom of expression in russia also political figures in europe have begun to weigh in on this developing story we heard from the high representative of the european union catherine ashton who has said she's deeply disappointed by this verdict calling it disproportionate a similar sentiment has also been echoed by germany's foreign minister so clearly this story taking place in russia has ignited a wave of reaction around the globe. u.s. based journalist don de bar says washington should look closer to home and tidy up its own affairs before judging others. the united states has other double standards

that bear on this case too first let's look at the one nine hundred eighty nine case of st patrick's cathedral where act up members came into the church about forty five of them were arrested before they could really voice their own protests and numerous times since the beginning of the iraq war around the united states people have tried to go into churches to speak to the congregations i know nick modern for example an activist in the united states has done it about thirty times to try to say look your religious beliefs are so and so what's happening violates them please join us and they've been threatened with arrest arrested and worse so the united states does exactly this not to states which has more incarcerated people than the next three countries on the planet and that's only in absolute terms in terms of relative terms more than any other country on the planet the united states has all these people in jail and it's going to lecture other countries about how their legal process should work i just think it that has no

credibility around the world and i think it's shameful the coverage of the pussy riot trial was hyped by foreign media and that's the opinion of larry jacobs managing director of the world congress of families. i don't really expect immediate pseudosphere really. always report truthfully in the u.s. and western europe we have seen some of the same issues so it's politicized the issue that made it about objection to putin in about supposedly a political statement but again. you know we have plenty of opportunity to make political statements. but we need to be responsible for our actions and there's no question that they were that they were guilty of any group is free to protest. if it's again on a place where they. are they're not violating someone else's rights in this case they certainly violated the rights of the church they trust other vandalised and so

you have to expect the consequences. there's more on the pussy riot story online to check out our tos you tube stream for more videos from inside and outside the courtroom where the russian female rockers received their sentence all you'd see the moment the trio finally discovered their fates. these are the images and seeing from the streets of canada. operations are over. to the u.s. now where a police were called in and arrests were made after protesters occupy barack obama's campaign office in oakland the group made up of veterans and activist was part of a one hundred strong march in support of bradley manning. demonstrators

marched on the office chanting frey bradley manning he's accused of leaking classified information to within weeks at a found guilty could face the death penalty the protesters demanded that president obama release the whistleblower scott olsen an iraq war veteran and one of the testers says the government's making an example. of the north. korean brother matter so. if you're. a little off on that one do you get mad and. is clear that they're trying to make an example out of them their own people not actually it was a war soldiers but it was a war. going on and that's why he went through the mission and

why he is the reason you know. you know we're not going to we're going to. you're trying. well fears the u.s. is desperate to lay its hands and join us on the man behind the wiki leaks website or playing on the minds of diplomats to declassified documents from the australian embassy in washington reveal concerns can lie and up the trial in the states aside just currently stuck in ecuador is london embassy with britain vowing to prevent him taking asylum in latin america but we believe spokesman christine happiness and believes the matter may go to the international court of justice. let's hope that the the going to do will come to its senses and give them safe passage so a country it's the only right seem to believe they're on to is in this hard line

position which is going to be assured of giving this to themselves is. the attitude legal team or julian that we can use the inspectors just to but as it goes forward as indicated that he will take the measure before the international court of justice. and force the government to give as it's you know you say that this is the u.k. authorities want to go to extraordinary have called for a. strong reaction especially in light of the american countries. be on my list and the way the william hague will take such extreme step especially when the negotiations were ongoing in accordance with that was already using the. between two countries and this should include offset with the nations all over the world and i'm pretty sure that. we must be. very secure in voluntarily areas giving effective than all the government is ready to violate to the convention on the twenty two with these threats that i just

will be leading. coming up later in the program permission to pray in the holy land as well as accused of denying palestinians access to mosques during the holy month . and arresting those allowed through. court on the new private military contractors entering the market to clean up the blackwater a solid energy of guns for hire. the un has officially named like dar brahimi the former algerian foreign minister as its new and voice to syria kofi annan successor is a veteran diplomat with experience in still volatile iraq and afghanistan some have questioned his objectivity because of his ties to jordanian royalty his daughter a former reporter at c.n.n. is married to one of the king's sons jordan has allegedly been providing support for rebel forces in syria lakhdar brahimi has received wide backing from the

international community by arab x. bert's warned against excessive optimism. the region. is going to go for a while and can be easily attributed to. security council really front of you and you. will continue to. do or want to go to break he seems to be a bit discouraged or even from the stir track record but nobody will or successors. aside from roadside explosives and taliban and al qaida fighters nato forces in afghanistan are increasingly under attack by a new photo friendly afghan forces two more u.s. troops were shot yesterday an insider shooting episode bringing the total to a dozen soldiers in just over a week as artie's got it she can now reports this is a problem that multi-billion dollar to fans projects just can't solve. the ads

for military hardware in the u.s. local like hollywood blockbuster trailers whether it's for a tactical armed drone which can fit into a backpack. or for a special robot like clothing for soldiers they sense what the user wants to do where the user wants to go and then extend those who like to call these men on the system but many ask why with all the high tech gear the u.s. can't win against the man of simple means from some of the remote afghan villages a u.s. marine general estimated that eighty percent if his troops casualties in afghanistan were caused by her made bombs components of which often cost no more than a few dollars. jake dilla better served in afghanistan at the beginning of the war the camera and the armored humvees are cost millions of dollars and they're

destroyed by something that costs the price of a pizza and we don't have any effective weapons to combat that animosity that raged against american presence there's no such thing it's sort of like if the chinese moved into you know wyoming or you somehow that why oh why oh why it's going to be happy now not at all there's no way that they just simply want them to leave the u.s. investment military gear more than the world's ten other biggest military spenders combined the pentagon resists cuts in their gigantic budget arguing that they need to fight terrorists in other places we continue to face very sleek serious security challenges in the world of today we are still at war in afghanistan we still confront terrorism even though there's been significant damage to the leadership of al qaeda the reality is we confront terrorism in somalia and yemen in north africa . the u.s.

is extensively using drones to go after who they identify as terrorists. but will there ever be enough weapons to kill terrorists in this look at anwar locky before he was assassinated by a drone did we stop al qaeda on the arabian peninsula we stop this march on yemen no we did not we actually in many ways made it worse by the fact that others besides a walkie were targeted and killed in that same campaign civilians we invest in the military hardware destruction which obviously is to perpetuate the cycle of killing kill five ten come back you've got to have more hardware to kill that ten. retired lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer says the pentagon's obsession with military resources hasn't changed since the time when their enemy was the soviet union it was all about the numbers it was all very accountable regarding hardware

hardware purchases how much how many missiles can you have how many can you defeat it was all very binary this or that this or that it was always it was a match force on force. and the current today's war it's not like that there's no force on force equation there's no way of measuring the number of tanks that will take care of the taliban because the taliban doesn't use tanks they don't need them and so this is where our current paradigm the us paradigm on war is completely outdated all those fancy weapons certainly project power but in real warfare in afghanistan for example all that advanced gadgetry still hasn't delivered victory some argue is because while spending tremendous amounts of money on military gear the u.s. has failed to fully understand their enemy and what motivates them to fight i'm going to check on in washington our team. well the u.s. labor department has released alarming data suggesting unemployment test surged again in almost every state later today our teams financial gurus max kaiser and

state her pull no punches about those they believe are responsible for economic hardships all the full show is coming your way later to sour. you putas not calculate anything having to do what a sustainable economy and life affirming qualities the only thing that contributes to g.d.p. in the u.k. in the u.s. in the g twenty countries is suicide if you commit suicide fast like they do in india the farmers are committing falcon's of suicide a month because of monsanto that's considered a growth story the emerging market it's a happening contrary they're committing suicide really fast there's the u.k. people are committing suicide at a more leisurely british pace like oh darling i think i'll tell myself ok that's considered g.d.p. but not quite as aggressive as india in the united states oh yeah well in their case it's more homicidal suicidal so you get those massive shootings and then you've got people killing themselves ordinarily so it's a combo play. in the name of the end of the holy month

of ramadan drawing to a close muslims around the world they're flocking to mosques to celebrate but in palestine that often means standing for hours at security checkpoints only to be denied permission to pray policy or reports. people here want to pray but soldiers stand in a way it's a painful game of control and every day it is played out at checkpoints throughout the palestinian west bank at this time of year during the holy month of ramadan it's at its most crucial. they threaten us like dogs been here since half past five in the morning announced twelve thirty seven hours i'm here and they won't let me cross with a nod of the head or the wave of an arm and israeli soldier says if you can pray and who cannot it is a distressing scene for those who wait palestinian worshippers desperate to get to jerusalem have been standing pushing and shoving here for hours many have already been through several checkpoints it does of course then in order to retain order

order is very important. control over the palestinians is important because that's how you can. take control over their lives the alex a mosque is the third holiest place in islam on fridays the holy day hundreds of thousands of worshippers from across the west bank in east jerusalem make their way here human rights groups say the checkpoints have eased up this year but in the past his radio soldiers would ride on horseback into the crowds and use tear gas on fasting worshippers the hardest we have found that people who are considered dangerous during the rest of the year are suddenly allowed to cross during ramadan because they're about forty years old it means they still been a terrorist for a short while it's absolute and it shows there is no security problem but israel says its checkpoints are here for just that the army says it wants to avoid trouble

by making sure men between the ages of twelve and forty don't pass unless they have special permission that sometimes takes weeks to organize the influx of hundreds of thousands of palestinians into most of them since an unmistakable message to the israelis and that is. better wisdom is no easy matter. the grand mufti of jerusalem accuses israel of having and i'll tarry a motive when it comes to the al aqsa compound at the. radical jewish groups say they want to demolish and take control of they claim it is a part of israel and if not the mosque itself and then the yards they want to show our mouth's proving once again there is no democracy in israel and for those who make it through the israeli barriers it's a small victory the other store just told me pass this suspect that i'm going without gets me from behind and is started to talk bad things about me like what you do do that you must quit and that is that the shout let me go because i have

that mission and so i just said no we have to take you i said that subject me you don't have that. you are going to have to kick me again those who don't make it through simply bow their heads in prayer and silent defiance they know another degrading struggle lies ahead next week oh paulus the r.t. . remember you can always check out more reports from our middle east correspondents at r.t. dot com and here's a taste of what else is there for you. the rains crack down on the opposition anger from international human rights groups after a prominent protest leader gets a three year sentence. plus a modern day robin hood toughest already cuts drive a spanish mayor to mastermind robberies and give money away to the poor.

private military firms are now as big a part of modern war as death and destruction and they operate in an industry has image has been destroyed by the alleged crimes of blackwater in iraq so at least on bart and went to meet some new players in the field who are on a p.r. offensive. fighting for profit traders as old as. the modern private military contracting is a growing market and russian companies want in on the action this training is to home the skills of the stuff and it is military training not just security but i want to be here in this forest outside moscow they want to be working in places like iraq and afghanistan.

russian security systems or our s.p. is a private military company founded by former russian soldiers they offer convoy and guard duties around the world they use selling point they say they are more careful than other forms about what they do. is that we know that there is no state no high ranking official to backers but we work on our own a russian company must respect all the rules and laws of the country of residence as well as its lifestyle and mentality where when you're holding your guns for hire so what's the difference between military contractors and mercenaries that's the tag that some american firms have been labelled with after killings where they were based for guards from u.s. based military contractor blackwater which has since changed its name of facing fresh indictments for allegedly opening fire at a baghdad road junction in two thousand and seven killing seventeen iraqis the discrediting of blackwater has opened up the market for russian firms says aristide

but in this business there will always be a tension between morals and money who chairs the company the purpose of creating a private military company is to make profit and as a rule the biggest profits come from clandestine operations so that attempting for the company and for individual operators should not be permitted he would call them what you will the market is there for a reason the private sector is supplying services that overstretched state forces either can't or won't provide such as in the treacherous waters of somalia come under bring your car crew did everything in their capacity to fix the engine as quickly as possible but i remember my heart throbbing because we knew there were pirate ships in the vicinity them who could assault us at any moment put on them while pirates bandits or others could strike it seems governments and companies are prepared to accept the controversy and pay for the likes of dimitri and his kind tom barton artie. well let's now take

a look at some of the stories from around the world. south africa's president has ordered a probe into the shooting death of a work turn for striking platinum mine workers by police jacob zuma called the events shocking and unacceptable police opened fire on a crowd of protesting miners armed with machetes toward the manning better working conditions one of the worst incidents since the end of apartheid and nine hundred ninety four. the nasa curiosity rover is preparing to make its first big lead buys zapping a rock on maurice with a laser and that's just one of ten tools it has available to help study the red planet and its ability to support life back on earth r.t.l. or hardness when to find out whether ever new yorkers are excited about your ya cities adventures. human technology is on mars so what this week let's talk about that i hope will

find so mother going to fly from there and i think it can help to understand that we are not alone in the universe do you think that we will shift our perception of how to be if we learn man i hope so i hope so maybe you will become a bit more. i hope so it's for you to say that because i'm french and we're not on board all but i think we need to understand that we're not alone i don't think as many people are into it that should be i posted something on my face we're going to have a head of one comment or one like at all and that was a couple days ago so that's kind of a little bit of a little bit of a disappointment why is that you would think reaching another planet deller i feel like maybe the olympics shadowed it you know and kind of eclipsed the moment but i tend to think there's more pressing issues here on earth and i'd rather see the money invested in. environment and. global food

issues and that kind of thing but could we possibly find other solutions if we look outward. possibly i think it's great to i feel like we've lost that spirit of exploration largely world so it's underfunded a lot of people have it but we don't we don't commit enough to education either at school in our government or in our living room or in our solar system. is that maybe they'll find some oh worm holes or something of carbon you know carbon based or some of that but no martians no martians when if they did find martian then i don't think they'll want to come to earth but if they're getting our television they won't be want to be coming though they'll be seeing our lives our dashing said i got to know whether or not you think it's a big deal that humans have technology on mars the bottom line is it kind of is the big deal or at least it's a massive accomplishment no matter what we learn from man's.
