long time leader hugo chavez maybe too will. attend his own swearing in ceremony as the opposition demands a new election if he doesn't show up. troops border with syria after ankara asks for help to defend itself from the conflict next door. french film star arrives in russia speculation he's come to receive a russian passport. and attacks. around

the world online on satellite this is a twenty four hours a day live from moscow that is where it is president hugo chavez who's currently battling cancer may be too ill to attend his own swearing in ceremony on thursday the opposition is demanding a new election if he doesn't show up for his inauguration for a third term at the national assembly but the government claims he could be sworn in later before the supreme court political analyst eric draitser i spoke. to he believes that opponents of chavez are taking advantage of the situation to undermine the government. what is important is the fact that the opposition is using this as a political mechanism by which they can try to deal a jew demise the government in venezuela remember that in two thousand and two when the united states and spain and other powers around the world collaborated and conspired to oust chavez in an illegal coup and we saw what the significance of

chavez was that he had a base of support on the streets in that country that could not be shaken by an international force and so what they're attempting to do is to use his health situation to break apart that base of support and to convince people that chavez is unable to serve the the constitution in venezuela allows for wiggle room here it does not say that just because he can't be at the inauguration at that given moment that there has to be new elections that is what the opposition is trying to create something that is not explicit they're trying to make it explicit the constitution it says that it can be delayed there are alternative arrangements that can be made the swearing in can take place in a different location and also it says that the new elections can only be called if and only if the elected president is permanently unable to serve there is no indication that chavez won't recover from where he is now so to say that he's

permanently incapacitated is not one hundred percent true nato has begun deploying surface to air missiles on turkey's border with syria the alliance approved the reinforcements last month off to ankara requested support their claims the move is to help defend its member from the conflict in syria but political analyst patrick and instant he believes that all teary motives were. the patriot missiles that they're deploying right now in turkey. have nothing to do with any threat from syria i believe that these missile batteries are being parked in turkish territory to prepare for the possibility of a nato airstrike further down the timeline so as soon as we anyone with any military knowledge or any geopolitical. knowledge knows that syria is absolutely zero military threat to turkey and they have no motivation to attack them until all depends on what matter of strategy the west shoes right now option one has

failed they tried to do a libyan style regime change by getting some foreign fighters and paying people then having no fly zone no fly zone is not going to happen it's sending a message to the government syria that nato is making plans whether they push the button or not is another matter but what i think that the western state can't go in on a legitimate basis to what the one of their second option is to gen up a chemical weapons situation and they've done that in the past on many continents with many invasions the other option is the west has is to drag the smallest states into the conflict and use that as a justification for an airstrike by nato i'm talking about dragging in lebanon on or perhaps israel to the south that would give the justification to move in and claim it's a regional conflict that needs to be contained. colonel gadhafi may have funded the

election campaign of one of the nato leaders that helped topple the late libyan leader later this hour we'll look at what is behind the claims nicolas sarkozy received over fifty million euros from tripoli when he was running for president back in two thousand and seven. and also examine the way the political correctness is turning america into a hyper sensitive nation leaving many more prone to biding their time. president abbas has officially changed the name of the palestinian administration to the state of palestine but despite this and a recent status upgrade by the u.n. the nation still remains all but united as artie's paulus lee reports thousands of families are torn into israeli borders. this is the erez crossing one of five land crossings between israel and gaza getting through here is tough you need the right permission and papers but this crossing does not just separate israel

from gaza it also divides families who are trapped on either side of the border these are the tears of a boy who hasn't seen his father in three years mohammed left gaza in search of a better life for his family but what he found on the other side of the border was loneliness and despair and what he left behind destress and fear. i miss my father a lot and i want to see him i'm afraid a lot my father must come back here we must go and live with him but he can't come and we can't go. all they have now to remind him of him are photographs and the occasional phone call oh. i can't live like this anymore i'm sick i'm having a nervous breakdown this happens when a man is very sad and when he has a lot of pressure on his soul and heart. this family is just one of thousands torn

apart by israel's separation policy that makes it almost impossible to move between the west bank and gaza it was only after mohammed had moved that he found out his family could not follow because while he and one of his children have west bank identity papers his wife and four other children don't for reasons unknown to them . it was a big surprise for me they told me there is a possibility of changing it so i sent the papers up until now they have the file but they refused to give permission for them to come i can't give up on my kids but i also want to give them a future. israel says the west bank is a closed military zone and it has the right to prevent people from entering it even those from gaza but palestinians have extensive family ties in both areas and the policy affects just about everyone and there are a number of policies that explicitly say that family separation is not

a justification for being allowed to enter the west bank so even if there's no serious security claim against an individual even if there's no question that that mother is separated from her child that's not enough to justify a travel international law protects freedom of movement and israel itself has recognized guards in the west bank as a single territorial unit but that's not enough to guarantee something people in the rest of the world take for granted a couple from different cities wanting to get married or a father looking for work. but the children miss you so much they hold these pictures and cry when they speak with him on the phone this is that it's not coming back and he says i can't i want to bring it all to the west bank who want to go and live with him it would be safer for the children and they have a better life. that it's a choice no father should have to make to be separated from his family so he can provide for them or join them and together face a bleak future policy r.t.

israel gaza you want your tea we're coming from the russian capital now we've got plenty more news for you to come this hour so don't go including is one of france's most famous actor gerard depardieu about to become a famous russian actor on up after the break. something. beneath. thousands of meters of ice control.

a row of escalating taxes on his body in a culture never has the details. we're going to russian president's press secretary dmitry pisco crane sees it as a producer is on a personal trip to someone and there is a possibility that he might attend an informal meeting with the president flies middle pugin and there he might be given his brand new russian passport meanwhile gerard depardieu has already been granted russian citizenship and before that he remembers his french citizenship and move to belgium where reportedly he has some real estate now this news comes as french president francois juan is trying to push forward a law that will see french citizens who earn more than one million euro piece seventy five percent of their earnings to taxes meanwhile in another french legendary movie i can brigitte bardot is also think of following the food stamp card to preview however firmly is backed by completely good reason you know she's

demanding a change of. pace and. in the fight to bring down the crime rate in mexico local authorities destroyed thousands of. u.k. governments charitable enterprises abroad could be doing nothing to help the world's poor in fact a center right think tank says the billions of pounds in taxpayers' money being spent and maybe part of a p.r. campaign to promote the image of the government when i discuss with autism or smith where exactly this cash is ending up. well let me give you three quite stark

examples the first is the example of bush's eight ethiopia which totals three hundred million pounds evidence studies b.b.c. investigation shows that in fact it wasn't used to help poor people it was used by the ethiopian government to cement a corrupt hold on power the u.k. government refutes that saying that the money doesn't even go through the government but according to human rights watch they say it does and this investigation showed that in fact supporters of the opposition. to receive food or seeds or fertilizer which is what the aid was destined for a second example is in india a three hundred eighty eight million pound project aimed at improving indian schools the government here hailed as a huge success they said more children are going to school as a result of it but the indian government says that around seventy million pounds of it was either stolen or lost much of it was allocated to schools that didn't even exist and that some of it went to by cause for dignitaries officials in india

again the u.k. government refutes that and nigeria thirdly one hundred million pound project improve again the quality of education in nigeria an independent report showed that actually the results of it had been not to improve the quality of education at all and they awarded the project in nigeria their second lowest rating again the government here refutes that same report sources that only visited a handful of schools so it's a pretty damning indictment of what's happening to all this money. vols some of money how does it exactly help the image or british politicians. well of course the conservative party here in this country has an image of sort of stinginess and only wanting to help the rich and it does go a long way towards getting rid of an image like that it shows that politicians are magnanimous sort of make them seem very generous and this information suggests that

the government doesn't really care where the money goes or how it's ministers or how it is it only has it seems to be giving this city the study is really quite critical isn't it does it suggest to you should stop helping communities abroad altogether i know it's not suggesting that it's just suggesting that the money is allocated and administered much more efficiently of course this is all happening against a backdrop of austerity at home and many people are saying you know it gets forget giving money abroad let's keep it here at home where it's really needed at the moment so here we see a reduction in benefits even for very poor people we're seeing tax hikes we're seeing raids on particularly public sector pensions so a lot of people say keep this money at home don't give it give it a broad and the budget is continually increasing it's now going to be no point seven percent of gross national income and that equates to five hundred pounds

a year for every household in a lot of people say you know we could do something here at home with that five hundred pounds. from london the former french president nicolas sarkozy allegedly received over fifty million euros illegal campaign money from the libyan leader moammar gadhafi a lebanese border businessman who's facing corruption charges says he will provide evidence in a french court some of the claims of previously be made by other witnesses to stop bobby who's chief editor of a weekly magazine l'express says if these allegations are proved to be true it could uncover a deeper trail of corruption. it's true that libya under gadhafi must have generated lots of dirty money with a system in place that poured cash into western countries look at this alleged contribution to sarkozy's campaign but really in your remarks in the presidential campaign expenditure and now there is twenty three years left in the end that is more than double what about the potential is left over the last second to be very

much a campaign but instead ended up in someone's pocket at the time proof is needed and as of now there's only a statement by one man on trial who's trying to remain someone else the shifting attention of money from russia each carries legally if it is. coming away later in the program online activists keep us society. i want the government i don't appreciate people hacking us social justice is real thing and so something has to be done. we have the means to do it and we should do it. resident people in new york their feelings on a prominent group of hackers who to be very active in the twenty thirty knots just ahead. such check out some of the stories making headlines around the world this hour standoff between police and a gunman in colorado has resulted in four deaths the assailant barricaded himself and four hostages inside a house in the town of aurora was later shot dead body authorities off the aisles

a touchy subject. america is a country that pioneers freedom of expression but is the rising tide of political correctness reigning in the right to say what you think white people do. to actually speak their mind it's almost as though you have a sort of a code to call or sometimes you want to call a spade a spade and sometimes you want to call it trouble according to recent news and poll the majority of citizens think the us is overdosing on p.c. turning the land of the free into a nation of hyper sensitive sissies. were even corn chips can cause mass controversy in this add a priest substitute to do read zero for the eucharist the body of christ. the commercial was created for a possible super bowl broadcast but after an uproar among catholics frito lay apologized and pulled the plug on the satirical spot during a commercial being pulled is

a classic example of americans freaking out about something insulting to do with religion i understand why the catholic league might flip out that's their job however be able to laugh at yourself folks. the price of humor can end up costing big maybe captain owen honors entrusted with a nuclear powered aircraft carrier worth half a billion dollars was fired over racy morale boosting videos created years ago having survived eighty five combat missions owen was shot down by for tuesday style gestures and comments but as for the man who wrote nineteenth century classics not even mark twain as protected from present day p.c. two of tweens books are being republished with the word sleeve replacing the n. word it's about laziness it's not about liberal guilt to not want to do offend or conservatives want to want to sanitize or plain vanilla is history and art it's really about laziness we don't we don't want to trust people to look and examine to

look at some. and then go beyond that said what does it mean what were those times like what is the author trying to say when film critic roger ebert took to twitter to criticize the censorship he was criticized for simply writing the n word a federal jury will soon decide if a white people can use the n. word at work this as a white t.v. reporter is suing a fox news affiliate in philadelphia after being fired for using the n. word during a staff meeting white house chief of staff rahm emanuel has apologized he's apologized and of course the r word can also make you a glorified villain as was the case when former chief of staff rahm emanuel privately called a group of liberals retards rahm emanuel and i think he has some indecent and insensitive ways of being sarah palin is a great talk at e.s.p.n. sensitivity surrounding sex has become a touchy subject announcer ron franklin was fired for allegedly calling

a female reporter sweet baby when you say political correctness has neutered the american language creating a super sensitive society incapable of laughing things off a p.c. employee that left more people biting their tongues for fear that freedom of expression may be more trouble than it's worth more in a corner artsy new york. it's the news which will breed fear into companies and governments worldwide the prominent hacking organization anonymous is valid in twenty. things up more than ever before with a wave of fresh cyber attacks when i was his very own new york resident went to find out if the underground group still has the support of the people it claims to be fighting for.

the hacking collective anonymous issued a statement warning the world to expect them in two thousand and thirteen is that a good thing this week let's talk about that it is an all course of business that they interfere with they can write their congressman they can vote. i work for the government i don't appreciate people hacking us we've got people's personal information that has to be protected that these people they decided hey i want to take them and now that's their information because they've decided to take the law into their own hands this is ok yes definitely keep on going why are they important in the world today well because to bring a certain information to the public. because of the activities social injustice is real thing and so something has to be done if you like if we have the means to do it then we should do it what about the fact that they do it anonymously they don't show their face or their name do you think that they have to because what they're doing is illegal or do you think they should show their names and faces but i think

showing their names and faces would just block them out blacklist them and stamp them out so i think that's the reason why it be anonymous i think they're meddling kids legally should not be doing what they're doing definitely but so do we just let governments and corporations do whatever they want unchecked no not unchecked but do it legally through the law and follow the guidelines that are set before us for example with the united states were built on the constitution and that's how we have to follow the law through that i'm against anything illegal just because i like to follow rules and i don't want to be a put in jail or i wouldn't want to be put in jail even if it does mean sticking out for other people i think it's a good thing they should continue to do what they're doing what about the people who say that they're just meddling kids. well i think a lot of people or ignorant to the reason that they're protesting. i think what they say makes a lot of sense and i think people need to do more research to understand exactly

what the true purpose is love them or hate them anonymous has promised to put on a good show for twenty thirteen we'll just have to wait to see if they live up to that promise. well that's all for me build out of the news team for the moment and he'll be in the chair in about half an hour from now before that's we have kept an account from the u.s. capitol this is. choose your language. because you know if you.
