as a wave of accusations by government and rebels follow a deadly funeral car bomb in syria we'll look at how the tactics adopted by the opposition are being tense eyes in the mainstream media. with millions in the e.u. sinking into poverty on able to afford basic necessities companies are forced to produce smaller cheaper goods for the struggling masses of the age of austerity. the new york police department is targeted by civil rights groups after six years of spy operations some muslims turned out to be guilty of nothing.

in the russian capital you're watching t.v. with me marina joshie a horrific car bomb attack at a funeral procession in damascus has sparked a wave of mutual accusations by both syrian government and rebels are still conflicting reports but it's thought twenty seven people were killed the opposition claims the government stage that to divert attention from its other alleged large scale atrocities the finding across the country shows no sign of easing the high profile member of the anti regimes here in the national council has resigned she suggests divisions within the opposition prevented from serving the wishes of the syrian people as r.t. is losing confidence reports much of the mainstream media coverage isn't serving the interests of the whole country either. it was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the syrian war a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city. i love you but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups

fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with a very close ties to the us a government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured what human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have escaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c. had aired the story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among

the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were challenged in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war. for r.t. and moscow american author and former university lecturer thinks this shows the tactics of western mainstream journalism to. it's pretty obvious what happened which is that the b.b.c. reported some news that higher ups in the western intelligence apparatus don't want them to report so they forced them to take it down and that doesn't surprise me at all that's just one example of many examples of b.b.c. complicity in this military agenda you know the b.b.c. is heavily complicit in this series of wars of aggression that were triggered by the events of nine eleven and it's very sad because western journalism used to be

more independent and today everybody and all the big outfits located in the beginning speaking countries are putting out propaganda twenty four seven three sixty. and later in the program a glimpse at what syrians who escape the war now think. jordan has called for international help to deal with the growing influx of refugees from its neighbor and saying it can't cope i report from there in a few minutes also an israeli court clear is the military over the killing of a u.s. activist crushed by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three we talked to an eyewitness who says this was no accident. the e.u. is facing up to a new era of becoming progressively poorer and increasingly desperate it's forcing big companies to rethink their strategy and how they can sell their goods to people was a nothing to spare her just as our celia now reports. with more than eighty million people in the e.u.

would risk of poverty including twenty million children this has become an all too common sight in european cities as a debt crisis and its effects drag on from madrid to athens and even brussels twenty three year old the wrong is one of many jobless and homeless europeans when he's not out looking for a job he sits at this corner reading his favorite classics hoping to receive enough money from passers by to buy some food for himself and his dog. before the crisis i had an apartment i worked as a group leader in youth camps there hasn't been much of a difference for me since then except the bread is more expensive everything is more expensive if i meet someone who gives me an opportunity and tells me ok you can work next week i'll say yes ok i'll try it and if it works it works if not the nevermind. but the numbers don't paint a nice picture for people like no home and share everything is increasing and

defeats almost all indicators for the child thing bristol is and think everything is fine as it has its property. the. beach criers no kind of kick a fence or touch the most so this means this is how it is as a higher consequences for people to cope with and big companies are taking notice take you to lever for example the company behind a slew of consumer products from shampoos to ice cream has started to look at europe from a different angle the head of its european business told the financial times deutschland that poverty is returning to europe multinationals in fast moving consumer goods are seeing the state of poverty in europe as more than just a passing trend the thinking of readjusting the strategies they use here and i point it was a big use in developing countries such as asia where you find packaging like this one of them this asian store and what you call sachets for each piece is. cheaper than a bigger packaging and therefore easier on the pockets of consumers

a practice the company has already started doing in spain and greece people have to store savings on their most basic needs. shampoo foods so that's really showing you. what the crisis really means for many struggling people in europe there's while there are disproportionately burden on individual citizens. specifically the increasing fear the rates near the on the most basic problem so that everyone uses it in their daily lives i'm sure this has a huge effect a crippling effect on people like simone a homeless woman and pensioner who only has three euros to spend each day when i can't afford to rent so i try to live where i can i don't eat much i didn't eat much tool it's all because of the you're right many people have problems because of the crisis problems that make the e.u.

is target of reducing poverty and social exclusion by at least twenty million people over the next eight years seem further out of reach. does or sylvia r.t. brussels. financial woes are only a one of the problems the e.u. has to deal with r.t. spoke with a former member of the french intelligence service cuomo nikkei on radicalization of terrorism in europe is coming up next hour but here's a preview. we would probably feeling. a pool you. will feel excluded is. likely to be about you guys because it's common sense but we have a. university degrees and we have people who are fully integrated if you take for instance the people of the july two thousand and five there we thought they could number a deal with the group that one of them was the son the oh no. oh

no he was walking in education you know the job. he was. brought on to fully integrate the but he was for the guys that if you are in the bottom of crisis you are weak and you could be other guys. and israeli court has rolled out the country's military was not responsible for the death of us activist rachel corrie who was crushed by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three the twenty three year old was taking part in a demonstration against the demolition of palestinian homes in the gaza strip the judge rejected the civil lawsuit filed by the girl's parents saying her death was an accident that she had brought upon herself the case has drawn international condemnation over the years journalist tom dale who witnessed rachel corrie's death says the court is simply turning a blind eye to the atrocities of the israeli military. it's tremendously

disappointing on the basis of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three it's absolutely not possible to characterize what happened as an accident in my view so i told the coach and as i told the investigation before that bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see even on the basis of the visit of shots presented to the court by the threat of military. had both the talk of the boulder sublight just before she was crushed and she clambered on a mound of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen on this but it represents a want what happened on that day a culture in the israeli military impunity for such crimes and that culture impunity is the silly tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately

turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which the fools palestinian shoulders because europe is full of civilians almost every area civilian and to the israeli government to say we refuse to treat anyone in this area especially given that human rights because we've given it this particular name. coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just a means of evading that responsibility. well we've also been following the proceedings in rachel corrie's case on our website and that's where you can find a full background behind the tragedy here's a quick log of what else is there for you defending the internet freedom twitter refuses to release information about an occupy wall street activist saying its users should be able to find sam valid government requests. as education protest in chile gain momentum and we've got a timeline of the movement at r.t. dot com and our you tube channel is well.

you're watching r t now the republicans in the u.s. have officially nominated mitt romney to challenge president obama in the race for at the white house recent opinion polls show romney and obama locked in a tight race with republicans accusing the president of causing unemployment and high taxes the party's main convention in florida was pushed back a day men fear of hurricane isaac might disrupt the proceedings the storm has now hit louisiana unleashing full flood waters and putting residents on alert for evacuations but a blogger richard spencer says it doesn't matter who takes office as neither will solve the country's economic well. it's wrong to believe that a president really any president has so much power that he can with a magic wall and makes the dow jones industrial average go up or increase in oil or no president can really do this and another thing that's connected with that is

that a lot of these economic problems quite warm in the making and if you're going to look back at what caused the financial crisis of two thousand and eight it was a horror george bush's policies to get anyone with the paulson to hold it into a thirty year mortgage but it was also this the federal reserve policy of essentially giving up free money to banks when it comes to low interest rates and also bailouts and things like these problems or more structural in their deeper than just having a different face in the oval office and if you really think about it presidents get in or change they they come and they go but these bankers. the new york police department is under fire from civil rights groups who say they broke federal guidelines on information gathering for over six years informants in the big apple spied on muslim americans watching them pray they work and talk on the phone and artie's more important are reports all that peeping came to nothing. in

a post nine eleven world it's no secret that the u.s. has exponentially expanded its surveillance practices in the name of national security however recent revelations indicate that local and federal officials have wasted many years and enormous amount of tax dollars and feast no consequences over targeting muslim americans according to court documents the commanding officer of the n.y.p.d. intelligence division has testified that the department's so-called muslims by program has not produced even one lead or terrorism investigation in the past six years now the new york city police department following the september eleventh attacks created a demographics unit this according to the sociedad press that unit mapped unmonitored muslim owned businesses and also had police officials infiltrate

mosques and muslim student groups throughout the city of new jersey according to reports the n.y.p.d. was also eavesdropping on conversations taking place between muslim americans now many civil rights lawyers say the n.y.p.d. violated any laws and civil liberties by targeting people based on their ethnicity or their language they also argue that laws were broken because officials were trying to gather information on people that did not commit any crimes so here we are nearly eleven years following the september eleventh tops and america's most powerful arms of law enforcement still appear to be targeting muslim americans this is of course left the f.b.i. in the n.y.p.d. producing very little results but critics say it's also left us citizens with very
