if you really really. backtracking on promises human rights groups america's new defense which allows suspects to be detained indefinitely and keep the guantanamo bay prison. syrian rebels international journalists including the arabic news crew were covering the conflict in the country. i must britain's want to get out of the european union and keep cash in the courts. prime minister says he'll be fully skeptic during his next election.

but. it is a pleasure to have you with us here on out to you today. the u.s. the defense for twenty thirteen has been didn't obama signed the bill into law despite a. one ton i'm a one ton of vote for another year failed the first test of a second. without charge or trial

unconstitutional activist. i think and so he's my government. running man and as you. and. the language of. international team and a veteran congressman dennis kucinich is also disturbed there are great. violates a constitutional. balance

here where not only the national. descriptions by the government this is more than problematic because what has always amazed made america america is the fact that we follow our constitution and we protect our constitution and we protect people against unreasonable search and seizure we protect people against being seized without the right to charge against them or a right to an attorney or a right to a trial we have in the past condemned government being involved in spying now we have a much broader. spy network this is something that is profoundly anti-democratic

i have repeatedly taken exception to it as a member of congress well enough a recent move viewed by critics as anti democratic obama extended an act that allows for the wiretapping of americans without a warrant us national security agency whistleblower william binney says nobody is safe from being spied on. f.b.i. and access to the data collected which is basically the e-mails of virtually everybody in the country. and they have the f.b.i. has access to it all the congressional members are on on the surveillance too it's not no one's excluded they're all included so yes this can happen to to anyone if they become a target for whatever reason. if they were targeted by the government the government can go in with the f.b.i. or other agencies of the government can go into that database pull all that they've

collected over them on them over the years and reanalyze it also retroactively analyze everything they've done. over the last ten years at least. one part and i'm sure that i i i believe i've been on it for quite a few years. so i keep telling them everything i think of them in my e-mail so that they when they read it they'll understand what i think of them. and i william binney is full interview coming up for you a bit later today that will be at eighteen forty five. now at r.t. arabic news crew and several international journalists have come under rebel sniper fire in syria while covering the conflict there the news team were accompanying the military on a counterinsurgency sweep and one of our colleagues a bit of a. who was injured while he ran for cover and we have his account for you right

here. we arrived at the damascus suburb early in the morning to report on the syrian army operation we were moving from street to street and when we reached the dock my colleagues and i got caught in crossfire we tried to escape running one after another fearing that armed rebels would notice us a syrian army soldier accompanied us the entire time he constantly kept his on the situation and helped us to escape the gunfire the rebels were firing on us my colleagues and i were wearing bulletproof pass with the word press on them the firing was very intense and it was difficult to find shelter i ran and fell down i hurt my arms but the syrian army doctors gave me first aid on the scene so i could continue to do my job there were many other correspondents there with me including iranians and syrians one of the syrian cameramen was also slightly wounded like me . meanwhile a car bomb blast has ripped through a crowd a petrol station in the syrian capital damascus

a conflicting report say the number of killed is up to eleven children among the dead dozens more civilians were wounded u.s. war correspondent russ baker says such attacks typical of the western backed rebel fighters trying to bring down president assad i've covered a few dangerous situations myself over the years and the reality is there is no way to be saved in war time the basic thing that we are doing there is we're providing a kind of a gritty tax here for the average person so they can kind of sort of experience that from the far there's going to be a lot of in the way of covert operations a sponsor by outside parties that have a stake in haste innings some sort of a resolution of the situation there's no question and we this is pretty obvious on the surface that western countries even including my own have stepped up their involvement and want to get assad out as fast as possible these are the sorts of

things. we've seen historically going all the way back to the guatemala in the one nine hundred fifty s. in iran and so forth these sorts of provocations are very very common i think we're going to see them increase until something or other is resolved there pretty clearly i think the western countries don't want any kind of halfway measures they want him out entirely and i think he is not going to do that until the last possible moment. live from moscow this is r.t. without brussels that's the future of majority in the u.k. now want the public is disillusioned with the e.u. membership prime minister david cameron has promised to enter the next election with a clear you wrote skeptic position my colleague bill dog discussed it with point but use popularity at a very very low amongst the british public at the moment we've just had a poll that asked respondents to grade institutions like in school and the european union got an average grade of a d.

plus from the british public that's not very very high now on a more serious note this recent poll it's really marked a tipping point because for the first time in decades the number of people that say that they would vote for britain leaving the european union is the majority of the british public so it's really telling we're looking at britain telling internation of real euro skeptics at the moment and it's not just the result of one poll we've seen things like for example british support for political parties and to european ones like the u.k. independence party it's at an all time high so lots of bad news for pro europeans at the moment so what is the main drugs that many people are holding against the. well the british public has always been very divided over membership anyway but the past year has been particularly difficult we've seen you know the chronic financial

crisis in the eurozone with a real loss of confidence that but also the same time at home they have crippling austerity measures so there's a growing resentment towards the last sums of money that leaves the british treasury and come straight from the u.k. budget goes straight to brussels every year when very terrible love project and it's not just the money there's also the aspect of the control of north that comes from work brussels that many people want to see returned back to westminster so this. goes all the way to the top of the u.k. doesn't it right at the top the political levels. well indeed david cameron the prime minister has just said that the conservative party is going to be going into the next general election in twenty fifteen as a euro skeptic party is an anti european political party that really shows that you know the government's banking on the fact that the british public is are you going to get more set up with british membership in and that they're really confident

that that's going to happen what about brussels and how is it responding to the way that britain is giving the cold shoulder children well it can't be too pleasant listening to all this negativity about yourself because there are reports flying around now that senior members of the european parliament want to offer britain a junior membership status associate membership and it would in fact be a bit of a demotion whereby britain since its grumbling so much over its membership in the european union it would have much less influence over issues within the european union itself so it's got all the hallmarks of a relationship going quite sour and now it's either going to be a question of who dumps who fussed or not salvageable but with public opinion turning towards britain getting out it's going to be harder and harder to stay in. put a book reporting there from london now one of torrijos russian business men once again in trouble this time though in cambodia so it's sort of a public school t.v.

show role when two years ago swept into custody for threatening local sailors just ahead for you on the program. and investing in china poured billions of dollars into tibet all of this an attempt to quell tension in the rest of region over its rule all of that and more after a short break. the

. this is our city with me rory sushi thanks for joining us this evening just over seven months ago the french place to trust in socialist leader francois hollande giving him a mandate for change his promises ranging from economic prosperity to allowing gay

marriage proving harder to achieve than perhaps he thought as. you found out people are already losing trust in the new leader. the debate on whether gay marriage should be allowed has split french society for years with protests about the issue often ending in violence with francois hollande coming to power the gay community breathed a sigh of relief but it may have been too soon activists say the new law which is going through parliament in january is not exactly what they've been dreaming of but we are. very happy that flow has been introduced by the government to open marriage to same sex couples and option and supposedly. magically assisted procreation but we're still very concerned because. people against. mary. are getting very strong including in the parliament. in the initial

plan mayors were obliged to officially register gay couples marital status and that's where many revolted including francois labelle the mayor of central paris. many for. allowing same sex marriages in france and moreover permitting them to adopt children will destroy the foundations of our family institution if we allow this now the next step will be allowing paedophilia and incest. so it seems in this scenario no side is completely happy which puts the french president and his electoral promise under serious pressure from bringing the french troops back from afghanistan to creating more jobs in france and preventing the country from going into austerity during his campaign to become a normal president francois hollande had made many promises some of which now experts say may backfire against the french leader and if the gay marriage law

wasn't divisive enough all on splurged to impose a seventy five percent tax on the wealthy may become another sticking point several million years have already decided to take their businesses out of france that's called a lot of problems and it does divide the country because a lot of people realize that the rich aren't going so far as financial problems everybody's going to have to pay. a national. including socialist voters which of course frost all along when he was being elected gave the impression that. this wouldn't happen the latest polls suggest. he has dropped by twenty percent winning the election we proved to be the far easier challenge than what awaits the french president now with the economic producers for twenty thirteen in france looking far from optimistic he could face an uphill joran. r.t. reporting from paris now the walls around israel are being extended in the country

now building a security barrier on its border with syria israel says it wants to safeguard its citizens from the ongoing syrian conflict the latest construction comes right after a fence sprang up on the border with egypt are the most visible wall however separates israel from the palestinians in gaza supporters say it reduces the risk of suicide attacks on the jewish state and opponents claim it's an attempt to annex palestinian land activist believes israel's barriers are meant to help it dominate the middle east. israel has to really to recalculate what they are doing in the middle east israel dealing with the middle east as a dominating power and they try all the time to build walls around them themselves claiming that the people is hating them and they are targeting them israel has been harmed the whole region region and the area around around israel they are building the wall around the palestinian areas the clean that is for security but it looked

people are seen as in forty percent of the land they built around gaza and they turn goes into a jail the biggest prison in the world and you know we know how the diversity of the situation in gaza they are still syria and they are building a wall on the occupied land so they want to keep this london to keep themselves as it is it's not a solution that you keep building walls you need to do peace with the region you have to write to the people israel can't build its future on the expense of the people of the region and that then building walls to protect the to protect themselves is not going to protect israelis people's rights and they will keep claiming the rights there is leaving it and pushing it for the explosion we witness in the settlers attacking the palestinians every day and many villages this is north of the jordan valley is evacuated now by no way there's an alias there is severe attack on the people in the south of settlers attacking the people in the

middle areas so they are rushing water on the palestinian people and they want the walls at the end to to bring peace to them stealing the people's land looking them in jails diversity in their life is not going to do to bring peace in any way must realize that their years changing and they must they must understand this change that needs for them to reconcile it with the people deal with the people i too i don't we don't consider yourself as part of europe or you want to isolate yourself and look yourself within the walls from the region you can do that. are just twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital and the russian president vladimir putin second to none he was nominated as the most influential man on this according to a survey by a prominent american think tank losing the first place to nobody find out exactly what that means on our website. also online for your movie about osama bin laden's . u.s.

ambiguous mix of modern technology and tradition communism and religion. double is eighty six his son is a buddhist monk but ten years ago this elderly man joined the communist bangalore do i knew that the party is breathing new life into our nation and me my just your time this is quite a normal scene for us every day believers gather in the city center to pray right outside what is traditions are very strong here but at the same time chinese national red flags are hanging almost on every poor in every building as a constant reminder which country tibet is a part of. and for decades china has been accused of occupying tibet and destroying its culture human rights organizations report numerous abuses there on a daily basis some are even willing to go to the most extreme measures in protest

in almost all instances protests are put down through violence so chinese security personnel will come in and more use violence to basically stop those protests we documented cases where the chinese state lethal force against tibetans in one town fifteen people were shot legal authorities denial of geishas of human rights violations claiming the suffering malaysians are organized from abroad accusing the worst of a full scale media assault on china the united states has been using to that for. six decades now and since the truman administration co-opted to fight communism and they will continue this because their modus operandi these days seems to be human rights violation over the years china spent over sixty billion euros dollars to build schools roads and water supplies as well as developing industries from
