away vaccinations by government and rebels follow a deadly funeral car bombing in syria we look at how ugly tactics adopted by the opposition are being sanitized into the mainstream media. with millions in the e.u. sinking into poverty unable to afford basic necessities companies are forced to produce smaller cheaper goods for the struggling masses of the age of austerity. and why v.d.'s targeted by civil rights routes after six years of spy operations on muslims that turned out to be guilty of nothing. for the most goods national culture which kicks into gear to day details in the business into an .

eleven am an archon capital you're watching are. a deadly car bomb attack on a funeral procession in damascus has sparked a wave of mutual accusations by both syrian government and rebels there are still conflicting reports but it's thought as many as twenty seven people were killed the opposition claims a government stage that to divert attention from its other alleged large scale atrocities the fighting across the country shows no sign of easing and a high profile member of the anti regime syrian 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 now 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.

and balanced budget which was after all the main point of having the money from the from the troika i think that there is an invention on part of mainly berlin and barriers to have greece as the sole example of the medicine not working so in order to achieve that it is very important to portray portable as a country and that is not that is unlike reese does a country that is unlike greece and everybody else has it as countries that are and like greece so to say the problem that the greek problem then rupee characterized as a problem of the greek political ethos of the greek government is searching of history or culture or whatever the recession and austerity is not working either in greece portugal or ireland that seems to be the way out. what you are going to live from moscow still have the program questionable justice as a record clears the military over the killing of a us activist crushed by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three we talked to

3:12 am
no president can really do this and another thing that's connected with that is that a lot of these economic problems quite long in the making and if you really look back at what caused the financial crisis of two thousand and eight it was the 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 interchanged they they come and they go but these bankers. his 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 work and talk on the phone and.

unmonitored muslim owned businesses and also had police officials infiltrate mosques and muslim student groups throughout the city and parts 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 power. arms of law enforcement still appear to be targeting muslim americans this is of course left the f.b.i. and the n.y.p.d. producing very little results but critics say it's also left us citizens with very
