a setup for military intervention but once again as with the houla massacre we have a very interesting set of circumstances where right before this un ministerial meeting coming up on august thirtieth we have a big orchestrated p.r. event. to smear the government in damascus and the west intervening in syria and i'm very suspicious i was asked about this shortly after the a massacre and i think we need to wait and see what really happened and there are some indications that much and perhaps most of the killing in the whole atmosphere was actually perpetrated by the rebel forces and the same thing might be true this time the so-called no fly zone of course what that really is it's just a euphemism for an aerial attack on the country and again i'm told that if western countries do try to take over syrian air space the me very will be shot out of the skies and so i certainly hope they don't try because this is the world to the brink

file an organization known as breaking the silence has published the testimonies of some thirty israeli soldiers and commanders in which they deal specifically with how the idea of treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the opera treat use of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often the idea of deny bookie targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reports also going to say that even when children are not deliberately targeted they are not afforded any kind of protection when there is a shootout or any kind of military operation now these reports come out on the heels of another two damning conclusions that were reached by two separate groups one being an imminent group of british lawyers and another an international human rights group known as save the children foundation now both of these found that the idea is in violation of internet. normal when it comes to how it treats palestinian

children they say they very often these children are put into solitary confinement they are treated and abused they suffered extensive damage at the same time the army is using things like shekels to extract confessions from these children that those confessions are extracted under duress and also these children are not afforded any kind of legal representation now also this weekend there were demonstrations as indeed there are even weekend now being silent which is a palestinian village villagers there are complaining about the gradual encroachments of a nearby settlement on the water supplies they say that those water supplies are being taken over by the citizen as a result they have no water with which to use on the fields all for drinking water but in footage that was captured on camera these soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested five of them were children and there are

protester openly displaying portraits of the prophet muhammad demonstrations have been taking place in a number of cities across the country i despair all over reports. demonstrators in germany display cover to choose of the prophet mohammed outside a mosque german courts gave the green light to allow the cartoons of muhammad to be displayed saying they were protected by artistic freedom and did not qualify as a call to hatred the same cartoons which originated in denmark have resulted in violence around the world since their publication in two thousand and five. those behind the protests say that they're doing this to gauge the willingness of the islamic community to out here to german law you've got what you have me so you know all this is not provoke a shoot on the contrary we are testing the propensity of extremist muslims who built a base here in berlin to respect our laws

a spokesperson for germany's islamic community has said they won't be baited into taking action. point out we're going to ignore these people and. not organize a concert demonstration that is the right position to take and it is one little hold there was a reaction elsewhere though in egypt a man tossed for nail bombs into the grounds of the german embassy he said he was incensed by the court's decision to allow the cartoons to be shown during the protest right wing politicians say that while in germany muslims should accept german law obviously. this is not the islamic world we should be able to decide what cartoons are shown or they have to accept that in germany it is ok to criticize islam if they cannot accept that they shouldn't be allowed to live here and right wing groups say that muslims aren't the enemy their problem is with government policy which they claim allows islamic extremism safe haven within

german borders and if there were not a quiet our message is clear it's not the kebab solar but the politicians following false parlor sees who are your enemy they're the ones wearing islam extremists thrive here the incident with the cartoons isn't the first time german courts have passed controversial judgement regarding islamic beliefs already this year a ban on circumcision received outcry from the country's muslim community if lawmakers want to avoid future protests of this nature then it's up to them to come up with a solution to tensions between non muslims and germany's islamic community peter all of a r.t. . tipple see riot members want to buy the russian authorities have reportedly fled the country they're said to be hoping to strengthen their movement by recruiting feminists abroad the news has come just over a week since three women were jailed for two years after pulling an anti putting stunt in the country's main cathedral their trial polarized communities both in

the u.s. intelligence community chose to attack or work. rather investigate some of the points that we were raising for the particular of the deaths of civilians in several articles including this one in the new york times an anonymous u.s. government official tacitly accused the journalists of being sympathetic to al qaida let's be under no illusions there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help al qaeda succeed to suggest any way oh my news organization of your investigative journalism or and who are sympathetic towards al qaida or its goals it's disgraceful i do think those kind of serious. mistakes involved the cia i remember is claiming that it killed many civilians in pakistan for more than a year and our reporting the reporting of many other credible newspapers are

condemning scenario shows that simply isn't the case that simply aren't true usa today journalist tom band of burke and ray locker became the subject of a sustained internet campaign to discredit their work just days after they began publishing the results of their investigation into a multi-million dollar pentagon funded propaganda mission in iraq and afghanistan fake websites twitter feeds and facebook accounts were set up under the journalist names in which they were accused of being backed by the taliban we tried to contact mr locker but he wrote back saying his editors prefer that he does not do any interviews on the. subject but a smear campaign wasn't the punishment for the prominent yemeni journalist. shying he was the first to report on the u.s. drone strike in yemen which killed fourteen women and twenty one children back in two thousand and nine he's now in jail in yemen upon the request of barack obama himself convicted of having ties with terrorists and what's what's most outrageous

for me as a as an american journalist is the role of the u.s. ali abdullah saleh the president of yemen gets a phone call not from john brennan or whatever obama's advisers but from president obama himself and president obama said we're very concerned about the release of this guy we don't know the full extent of what happened in that phone call with the white house and state department in fact i interviewed the state department admitted that obama in fact said the u.s. wants him to stay in jail here in the u.s. or in the u.k. for that matter journalists are protected by law and it's not easy to put them in jail but there is one way to get back at them try and discredit their work by suggesting they're helping terrorists or the taliban or whatever else one might argue that the label carries out it's becoming an all too convenient for the government to brush off investigative journalism which exposes their flaws i'm going to check our reporting from washington. all right straight to danielle now

driven all only by belief that base is as safe as it is about the ultimate bubble to say that it's a bubble it's pretty hard because if you talk about the total amount of assets invested in gold globally it's minuscule very very few people actually have gold in their investment portfolios very people very few people have gold is there gold mining shares or gold related stocks in their overall investment portfolio and so that this doesn't smell like a bubble a bubble is when people take out margin one hundred to one that buy an internet stock that they don't know anything about that has no revenue no earning and who knows who's been around for two months it's not a bubble if you're buying for cash gold not on margin and sticking it in your safe that's not a bubble and that's more that represents more of the gold market today than any sort of public stocks have an. addictive like a drug germany central bank has dubbed you buying of spanish bonds adding it doesn't solve the used to crisis that's the opening straight to the footsie is
