venezuela's long time leader hugo chavez maybe too will after cancer surgery to attend his own inauguration that is the opposition demands a new election and he doesn't show up. the deployment of nato missiles on the two border with syria is underway ankara demanded protection from possible incursion by the assad government. moviestar you're on the bridge you arrived in russia pounding to meet with president putin who granted him citizenship this comes after being there from an attack strong.

and i welcome good to have you company watching r.t. live from moscow with me. president hugo chavez who's currently battling cancer may be too ill to attend his own swearing in ceremony on thursday if he doesn't show. him in office do you political analyst eric draitser.

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 were 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. knights i have started

the deployment of patriot missiles as well as troops on the turkish border anchor asked for the battery units to shield the country from possible attacks coming from neighboring syria but political analyst patrick henson believes that all teary and at work. 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's matter of strategy the west shoes right now option one has failed they tried to do

a libyan style of 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 states 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 that is 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. couldn't gadhafi may have funded the election campaign of one of the nato leaders that helped topple the late libyan

dictator later this hour we'll look at what is behind claims you just saw causey received over fifteen million euros from tripoli when he was running for president in two thousand and seven also later this hour we will look at how being politically correct forces many americans to keep their mouths shut. president mahmoud abbas has officially changed the name of the palestinian ministration to the state of palestine move follows a successful initiative at the u.n. that has given palestine nonmember observer state status but despite this the nation is still a long way from unity as artie's fall asleep reports thousands of families are torn in two by barriers put up by israel. 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 live to gaza in search of a bit of a 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 i'm not 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. love me i can't live like this anymore i'm sick i'm having a nervous breakdown this happens when a man is very sad 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 mohamed 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. the children miss him so much they hold his pictures and cry when they speak with him on the phone this is 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 will 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 him and together face a bleak future policy r.t. israel gaza now you're watching a r.t.

a city in mexico is left completely without law enforcement after the entire police force resigns find out why online. the u.k. government's charitable enterprises abroad are reportedly doing nothing to help the world's poor a study by the center right think tank says billions of pounds in taxpayers' money's being spent that is being spent in merely part of a government. billboard top with artie's or smith where exact about where exactly this cash is ending up. well let me give you three quite stark examples the first is the example of british aid to 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 weren't allowed 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

they awarded the project to 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. vall sum 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 stingy only wanting to help the rich and it does go a long way towards getting rid of an image like that it shows that the politicians and mark not the most sort of make them seem very generous and this information does suggest that the government doesn't really care where the money goes or how it's ministers or how effective it is it only gets seen to be giving this city the study is really quite critical isn't it does it suggest the u.k. 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. saying you know forget forget giving money abroad let's keep it here at home where it's really needed at the moment so here we're seeing we're duction benefits even for very poor people we're seeing tax hikes we're seeing 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 a lot of people say you know we could do something here at home with that five hundred pounds. former french president nicolas sarkozy allegedly received over fifty million euros in illegal campaign money from the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi a lebanese ball businessman who's facing corruption charges says he will provide evidence in a french court similar claims have previously been made by other witnesses

christophe barbier who is chief editor of weekly magazine l'express says if these allegations are proven true they could uncover a deeper trial of corruption. it's true that libya under gadhafi must have generated lots of dirty money with the system and. injuries look at this illusion contribution to sarkozy's campaign really rules for maximum presidential campaign expenditure and load is twenty three million years lived a million dollars more than double over the previous leftover money certainly didn't go towards a campaign but instead ended up in someone's pocket returned to prove his need and as of now there is only a statement by one man on trial who's trying to blame someone else to shift the attention away from himself which carries in the legal weight for the. other stories making headlines around the world this hour a standoff between police and the gunman in colorado has left four people dead

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 them sometimes you want to call a spade a spade and sometimes you want to call it trouble according to recent news and pulled 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 ad a priest substituted to read zero for the eucharist the body of christ ran 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

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 that. 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 well 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 love them or hate them anonymous has promised to put on a good show for twenty thirteen just well. have to wait to see if they live up to that promise. well that's up to date for now i will have more news though in about half an hour but before that i'd sell for one of the coolest experiences imaginable we take
