legal action. this is our c coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program torture violence and arrest was used by human rights activists in bahrain to describe the government's attempts to crush and to regime support in the latest incident a riot police move to disperse a funeral procession for a protester who died behind bars after he was allegedly denied proper medical treatment for his point to clear her smile about. mohammed was sentenced to seven years behind bars for participating in pro democracy rallies note that i'm saying pro-democracy rallies his family and his lawyer claimed that he was suffering from sickle cell anaemia and he died while in prison because he did not receive adequate medical treatment and now thousands of people gathered on tuesday for his funeral

procession but it resulted in clashes between protesters and police as the protesters were prevented from reaching the pole roundabout which is the epicenter of last year's a shiite uprising also on choose date six medics were seemed to jail this after the bahraini highest court rejected their appeal to overturn their convictions for the roles in anti regime protests which swept the gulf kingdom last year and human rights groups have condemned this the medics were part of a group of twenty doctors who were charged with inciting violence but in fact were really charged with having been perceived to be on the side of those protesting against the regime what we're hearing from human rights groups is that these are prisoners of conscience they're demanding they release and they have criticized the bahraini government for its dismal human rights record both of these stories have gone launched me and noticed in the mainstream media there hasn't been

a discussion at the united nations there hasn't been any statements issued by washington and they certainly hasn't been any kind of cause by amnesty international observers are saying that you need to look at the difference in response between what we've seen here and if by comparison this had happened in syria. and down on dissent it was explicitly covered in a documentary made by a former c.n.n. journalist on the film one procedures journalism awards but was only aired domestically in the u.s. a decision the documentary maker things was motivated by money. we were able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who'd run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot ambulance drivers who were beaten and as we were heading back out of these villages we were violently detained by security forces and rain about twenty masked men with machine guns who then try to erase all the video that they found and

luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks. and we were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage. is paying c.n.n. to create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't. affect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had c.n.n. to get coverage accurate coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials for dictators and that's this sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and there's

every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying customers as journalists. the uprising in bahrain started a year ago and unlike many other international and he was covering this story since the very beginning timeline on this is and policy has turned reports from the gulf state can all be found at home. not just. the central square of. reportedly killing dozens of people including children the blasts were caused by car bombs in the world followed by heavy gunfire aleppo the major commercial hub it's a battleground for heavy fighting between the army and rebel forces this latest attack comes as alarm bells ring for rebel backers and major concerns their revolution could take another sinister. some experts are convinced that they jewish

community is the number two target of the radical left up to president assad and journalists. told is that anti-semitic sentiment is on the rise in syria. the irony of supporting the rebels who may eventually become great enemies of the west is something that's lost in the interview on the very eager interventionists who are pushing the west to intervene in syria to arm the opposition interviewed a group of rebels in damascus who were holed up in various parts of damascus and various observed i interviewed some of them a few of them who traveled from afghanistan said that they had a big fight against the jews ahead of them and this is a million to me because i've met people elsewhere particularly in pakistan who say that they have a fight with the jews ahead of them so they see that as the ultimate. one of the things that was particularly disturbing to me is how close is being groomed as

a possible replacement for assad not a lot of people know that monopolizes father. lasse is a first rate he's written a book called the marts of design which talks about the blood libel he was smuggled out class was smuggled out of the country by french spies he is he keeps making trips to saudi arabia but not a lot of people know this history behind him and our people should be wary of. clothes being groomed as a possible replacement. series in the only place where there seems no. and inside for violence with the ongoing conflict turning eleven soon even washington is giving up we're going to our website for more on this stage of taliban peace talks . and possible change of pace in russia's home policy and find out whether moscow is going to take notice of the largest and most detailed list of recommendations from the e.u.

. a decade or one challenged rule has come to an end for the now former ruling party of georgia with its head of president saakashvili now under pressure to resign and taking up the mantle is the opposition blog georgian dream promising to undo saakashvili his policies and even hinting at legal action against their leader alex reports now from tbilisi. it felt as if georgia had won the football world cup thousands in the streets celebrated the surprising win by the opposition and despite fears the ruling regime may somehow hamper this triumph soon their worries were swept aside by the president himself. it is evident that the georgian dream coalition has secured a majority this means this parliamentary majority has to form the next government for us at least for me the views of this coalition were fundamentally unacceptable and still remain so. just six months ago an opposition win was deemed impossible

the ruling party's rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that confidence saakashvili was that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister at position many predicted he would eventually fail himself little did he know he was digging his own hole when he made these changes to the constitution again i would say. it is it time to the dream that i never see the parliament these are the majority of his party and we knew that one day eight. but he didn't seem to he would come so probably he. just tailing the constitution on his own shape and on his own he could survive this let's say the owner less think of the link in georgia but that's legal that's. however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes

released in september he'd saakashvili the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities and now the president could face more than simply losing his grip on power if there's a big enough majority perhaps to impeach him maybe. next year remember. the changing point in this election was the allegations of brutality in prisons and torture and the allegation behind that was of course that saakashvili and his prime minister merabishvili had altered this abuse so if you have a situation where the new parliamentary majority wants to investigate abuse it could well produce a crisis fall his close associates so they could not only have lost the election but they could face serious legal complications the georgia dream bars the leader and possibly the next prime minister bidzina ivanishvili has already made his position clear. this man's ideology has established

a crime of violence and torture the food you've seen of the things happening in the georgian prison is the result of his ideology because he brought together the group that carried it out it will be good if he submits his resignation rather than a starting various procedures to force him to resign. it was not only the prison tapes scandal which brought soccer serious fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites daunting poverty and playing hardball with russia all contributed but for now georgia is welcoming and new era hoping for a fresh start georgia's history is rich with different sorts of bloody cold it does and forceful change of governments in the outgoing president mikheil saakashvili came to power as a result of a revolution so this may well become the first days in its country's history of a peaceful transition of power. r.t. reporting from billy c.

in georgia. and party politics are making headlines in the u.k. as well with the annual labor conference and away but that miliband features criticised for putting his life story ahead of the issues our london correspondent brings us the details shortly. they also the french report which highlights some aspects of drone wars that even americans are kept in the dark about all that. it's perched atop a jaw and under view from the ball scrabble and stretches as far as the eye can see . for a city to all of siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but the poles cremains

a spiritual center. scenes like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of also docks worshippers themselves implicity water to commemorate the baptism of jesus. in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslims. surrounded by enemies the balls to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic club siberian fire was the oil of its time bringing in a third of all russia's state revenue put the location head of the says by the russians the russian crowd a revolt against the czar and eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists will stand here and drove. there they created

a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also serves up some bitter irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office where nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were fairly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or gartside themselves whilst leaving this ordinary normal countryside lifestyle that you would have thought was great but within the year the czar and his family would be dead. wealthy british style.

current leadership but as laura smith now reports there is plenty of politics but few policies and the neighbor leaders address. it miliband told the labor party conference about his childhood as the son of jewish refugees. it fled the nazis and his school days at a london comprehensive which he says enabled him to get on with people from all walks of life his ultimate goal though to differentiate himself from david cameron and his chancellor george osborne who have been branded from within their own party as to push boys who don't know the price of milk but in reality just how different is ed miliband his father was a socialist intellectual and his upbringing in highbrow north london circles is worlds away from the lives of most british workers he went to oxford and has never had a proper job outside politics apart from

a teaching post at harvard's this speech was full of bluster about the call me the police the wonder of the lympics an ephemeral vision for britain some might say that's because policies are few and far between he said he'll sorts out the banks make sure companies pay a fair wage and support the national health service but the main announcement of the speech was a promise that if elected labor will instigate a massive increase in food cation the education focusing on the fifty percent of young people who don't go to university a great idea youth unemployment is around twenty percent at the moment but there was no mention of the all important cost and how it would be met miliband has admitted that if labor was in power they'd be making austerity cuts too but he's refused to give any detail until after elected more than anything miliband has tried again to cost himself as a man of the people but many are saying that if he wants the people to listen what

he really needs to do it's not talk about himself the seemingly endless anecdotes about his childhood and his family but seriously and in detail about the country and its problems. at a time. and much of europe is catching water and waves can brussels has proposed a massive increase to its own budget they plan to be voted on this week with sat brussels on a collision course with the states that represents many of which staunchly opposed any rise they southie vials of already new unemployment data the highest in the history of the block and drawn recent research at the european university institute says the members speak for themselves. well ahead of the state of the economy is absolutely dire and it actually tells us that what these leaders are trying to do through all these meetings and these summits is actually aggravating the situation because they're the measures that are being imposed the radical structural reforms each of these things is actually aggravating the situation by undermining growth

bander mining investor confidence and the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain as there is in greece as there is in portugal and if these people who are allowed to decide on their own future they would not choose the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world is that international lenders through international is the tuitions actually cancel the sovereignty of nations states in order to ensure full repayment of the debt i think everything that they're trying to do ultimately is met by financial market panic and what they're not seeing is that you cannot beat the financial markets unless you're willing to take a stand and say that we repudiate part of that and we move on and we set our own priorities. also focusing on austerity. and later does a peaceful about he's gas question just what the very word actually means. it's funny you know that whole term austerity is not one i like very much because

it has all these punitive connotations as opposed to what it really means which is that we need fiscal policies that make sense and by making sense you can't spend more than you take in for very long everybody with common sense knows this they're calling it austerity like like all of us have done something wrong and well now you're going to get it and so either you either want austerity or you want the other thing which is to continue the impossible for us austerity it's terribly austere people are suffering terribly there was you know peter at the stockholm school of economics and some time with my visiting appointment there and in that country we've seen upwards of ten percent of the people have to leave in this massive biblical like exodus i mean it's just absolutely terrible crushing and regarding the unsustainability of the system well yes true it is unsustainable but not for the reasons i think that has suggested. i.

researchers at columbia university have released a fresh report on the dangers of drone warfare for the u.s. the paper says not even top military stuff know the exact death toll of these unmanned strikes hailed by officials as surgically precise and it can have long running consequences for america's diplomatic relations so as in no real shock one of the authors of the paper. whenever the u.s. is going into a country and exerting its force they're going to polarize public debate in those countries so the us and tell you a sentiment it's not that's the beginning of the iceberg the tip of the iceberg really because we're also talking about governments in those countries they're seen as cooperating with the united states they might lose their legitimacy in their own publics views that can have a destabilizing effect on democracies and governments all across the world where we're conducting drone strikes we're talking not just about the number of civilians killed or the number of militants killed but the toll on these communities in parts of pakistan somalia and yemen we're talking about regions where there's already

a problem of war but this is really adding to the problem as we have civilians who are really caught in the crossfire between milligan militant groups on the one hand and u.s. drone strikes on the other they're afraid of being being targeted merely because they're associating with individuals because they're outside they don't know what will let them be targeted and that's creating for them environment of hysteria and psychological torment when they just don't know when a drone will strike. while debris for world news in brief i should say joint african forces have taken control of the lucrative somalia pool city of kiss my oh that was long used as a stronghold by al qaeda linked to islamist fighters of the al shabaab group it took five days of fierce street by street battles to reclaim key facilities in the area militants have now been forced from all of somalia's major cities. at least sixteen people have been injured in the bangladesh capital dark between riot police and opposition protesters. gas shells and used buttons against the demonstrators

the activists came to the streets to protest the electoral film under which the incumbent government kind of a see the next election the polls were controlled by an independent caretaker government. and kyrgyzstan irani demanding the nationalize ational a gold mine is turning into chaos as protesters try to storm parliament dozens have already breached the building police are using rubber bullets stun grenades and guard dogs to disperse. the activists the demonstrators have threatened to force the parliament's dissolution if their demands met. time now for the latest market rocked marina take it away thing sea level will start with the european markets which are extending the losses and that's mainly because everyone's disappointed after the spanish prime minister said that the country will not be seeking a bailout any time soon let's take a look at currency and see what's happening with the euro which has been weakening against the u.s. dollar for the past couple of hours and right now it's more or less flat when it comes to the russian currency it is losing against the currency basket this one is

that it would take a look at the russian markets there are external losses as well it's a sea of red mainly tracking the losses that we've seen overseas and also lower oil prices are helping either well let's stay with the country and talk about the third largest oil company b.p. which is looking to get out of the room in six a crude broken as well on the oil field that's been developed by a group of companies allowed by all the giant rolls that have a twenty percent stake is on the table which is worth about two hundred million dollars and another russian oil company which is sort of going to have to gus quit the project last month. and a quick look at the asian markets which are on their way out of the trading session and we see a mixed picture of the neck a scores almost half a percent down and that's was mainly looking forward to see what will happen on friday when we'll get the u.s. jobs report and then on foreign payrolls report as well and that's all we have in this edition of business back to you live thanks for that marina in a few minutes on the story and also jeffrey world is high as we discuss world the

world has learned from history's deadliest. overcoming a barrier like. something . when you.

go do whatever it takes to get all the luck of the world on our teeth my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems . i was missing my leg and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me where my hands you know just as if anyone would. but they do tell a story they tell us story of. the oxen who.

geoffrey robertson a historian and author of a great new book called stallions general it's a book about marshall as you quote who actually liberated the soviet union from nat isn't let the soviet army to conquer berlin in ninety forty five so will recommend . so in your book you discuss general marshall jacoby's life and his

military genius but do you agree that military genius taken alone isn't really enough to have a great victory or to win a great war because you also need self-sacrifice you need enthusiasm so if you look at the words of today let's say the war on terror there it doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm from people outside why is that is it is it because the cause isn't justified or are people just tired to wars. that the second world war a great protracted war wasn't just one boy because of course it was one boy you know the whole sort of people. sort of victory defend it depending on the popular support for the war and the willingness to to make a huge sacrifices also depended on our you know political and economic system that was able to survive the challenge of the war on the a monster.
