but that could come at a dear cost. conflict between turks and kurds has been simmering for some thirty years with thousands of victims of both sides in fact the last eighteen months have seen seven hundred deaths from the confrontation between turkish security forces and the kurdistan workers party or p k k recognized by some western nations as a terrorist organization some believe the thirty million kurds are ready to rise at a moment's notice to at least gain some autonomy if not reach their ultimate goal the kurdish state the syrian crisis may very well provide such an opportunity and of course increasing animosity towards both kurds and damascus it may very well be turkey that will end up being the biggest loser in this political game kurdish representatives in the turkish general assembly firmly believe no matter the outcome of the conflict the kurds in syria are set for some sort of autonomy and

they're eager to follow suit the syrian kurds have their own. autonomy for long years we are also struggling for democratic autonomy we want our identity to be recognized and we want. regional autonomy. we should have our south governance right but these desires seem to fall on deaf ears within the turkish government within caracas kurdish conflicts coming under increasing scrutiny from human rights organizations accusations of rape torture kidnappings and use of chemical weapons against suppose that kurdish separatists have been backed by independent reports and investigations and are a major stumbling block on a crusade for e.u. membership the turkish government nevertheless seems determined to avoid the issue altogether instead turning its attention across the border into syria in

that secret laboratory tim curry was able to build a most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and . this is why you should care only dot com. again the eurozone jobless rates hit a new record high with spain again suffering the most followed by greece with nearly twelve percent of people out of what across the lot it's

a bad picture fortunately they can't find a job while the number comes only for. demonstrations in the. thousands of doctors be marching against government plans to party private health care a move they fear will ultimately lead to further job cuts spanish political analyst miguel unsure what are the says it's not alarming sign that traditionally pro-government medical workers turned to protest. but it's interesting about these protests in the health care sector is that is different from a sociological point of view from all the protests we're seen around spain we've seen of course teachers and and. public sector workers of all sorts transports all the services are basically on strike or staging protests now what is different about the is that you have doctors which are traditionally in spain like elsewhere are traditionally more conservative they most of them they backed the government prior to its election so this is their own people that he said happy with the way

the government is going so i think it will it will make a difference it will it will cost some extra problems for that for the current government as an employment and brings despair to what was once a lot of prosperity many of those who and then for a better life and i'm making some unexpected choices lucy catherine of reports from venezuela one of the country's becoming a more attractive place to to move. with no end in sight to the financial crisis many are finding refuge in countries with an alternative economic model or some venezuela represents hope new opportunities the bolivarian republic may be a surprising choice after all it's been ranked as one of the most corrupt nations in the hemisphere whose murder rate exceeds that of iraq still the world bank says venezuela draws the largest number of immigrants after argentina with one million flocking here in two thousand and ten alone who's. going to get weaker rosa is one

of them after decades of struggling in the u.s. she decided to start anew in venezuela by the end that come to you completely alone you go that trying to find a new way but you really alone nobody helps you there nobody in caracas the helping hand came from the government a cheap loan to kickstart a small business and subsidies that enabled her to purchase this home that's why rosa and others like her see the country as a place where. you can move more freely you have more opportunities. robust economic growth and increased spending on social projects to help create those opportunities having the state on your side in terms of the benefits is a huge think as you don't have to worry about your basic necessities everyone has the right to universal free health care quality health care education at all levels the government provide subsidies to start up small businesses medium sized businesses that do the same in terms of housing to help people if they're coming

from a country where the economic crisis is so bad they've been cutting all those benefits but as well it begins to look like a paradise that may certainly seem to be the case for those on the bottom president hugo chavez helped bring the poverty rate down from fifty percent when he took office to roughly thirty one percent and the u.n. says venezuela has the lowest level of inequality in latin america. it's one child as diehard supporters among the poor but what about the rich critics say chavez is alienating the wealthy many of whom turned out in droves to vote for his opponent in october closely contended election twenty first century socialism hasn't helped us it is her job his opponents blame his so-called socialist experiment for problems like limited foreign investment they say that it's driving businessmen and entrepreneurs out of the country. by daniel year g.'s himself a young businessman disagrees after spending twelve years in barcelona he decided to return to venezuela not just for the economic benefits he says but for the

chance to partake in a different sort of future order there are two very different political forces in this country one wants to move towards capitalism the other is on the path of socialism in the october election the people of venezuela voted to make the country greener fairer to create more opportunities and in this regard many venezuelans like myself have decided to return home and so they do showing that for some gambling on venezuela system may be worth the risk. of r.t. venezuela. of course one of the main matters in the minds of those in venezuela right now is the health of the president hugo chavez is due to be inaugurated on thursday to serve another term but he could be too ill to attend while he continues to battle cancer his political rivals demanding a new election if he doesn't show up to be sworn in for his fourth term the basket from asia times online told me they'll be many will try to take advantage of the situation to undermine them. and show his war is not

a monolithic saying like would dare to say the communist party in china dad least four or five different factions fighting for power and this is one of the problems a few we have an unsteady situation in terms of chavez house because there will be an eternal struggle for power inside share is more in that the same time we're going to have more possibilities of foreign interference trying to you know louvered this process and i mean specially our friends in washington hall all the news will see an opening well maybe this is the beginning of the end of just off shabbiest work let's get it up. around the world for top stories in brief in china hundreds of people have rallied and rare show support for a liberal newspaper that chanted slogans for political and democratic reform outside the quarters of some weekly paper had been forced to change authorial calling for reform of the ruling communist party protest comes after dozens of

as co-founder of one of the largest companies in the world do you think that you have a responsibility to speak out about issues like internet regulation i don't think anyone comes with a responsibility just because their company is really big especially since i'm not the one who wanted to run a company just be a great engineer that helped start it so i don't feel that anybody has a responsibility however i do like it when well known people that are in the public eye speak out on social issues and give their opinion what you think about legislation like so. and why you think that they are so unpopular it turns out that the the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody owns the internet space countries didn't own it they didn't control it it was worldwide it was people to people it was like we little people in the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and we didn't have to go through other people selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a lot but still those were items that were kind of against just being able to use

the wires to send whatever you thought of to somebody else who's a friend or whatever sharing sharing data so a lot of people have done that sort of thing they have freely shared a song maybe a song with son or maybe they've shared another file with another good friend and they just don't want interference now sure it's illegal to share copyrighted material fine there are laws in place but these were new laws that we're going to just totally try to put up roadblocks to services that have other very good purposes in our life for example i might make a promotional video for an interview like this and then e-mail it to you well it's too big to email so i'll upload it to a little site maybe it's dropbox maybe it's my apple idea maybe it's make upload all upload to a site and send you the u.r.l. and now you can download it and i do that regularly i heard you previously talking about kim dotcom case. and you know you mentioned that the charges against him were pretty much phony

a lot more on what you meant by that yes first of all he ran one of the larger. file sharing services in the world so the most movies and all were being exchanged by people through that site it's not a site where you could link connect to it and say search for avatar there was no searching somebody could upload a file and then pass out a u.r.l. on their own and they're violating the law if it's copyright material like a movie and the person who downloads it is violating a law too but the what kim dot com rant is just a service that's like a post office he was the post office it was being mailed through winding shut down the post office thinking that's where the problem is it's not so that was a phony charge they tried to charge him with a copyright violation himself for uploading sixty songs or something but they had come off of c.d.'s he had purchased so they say it was all these attempts that i call phony then they had to figure out a way to extradite him they needed a crime that would get him five years in prison to meet the law the new zealand law for extradition so they made up phony charges of racketeering like he's some big

mobster connecting you know a big financial empire and all these countries i mean apple does that but kim dotcom is just a nice soft little sweet guy when you meet him who tells the truth openly you know that you know when somebody is being truthful when you're with them personally and he doesn't hide things he doesn't share he doesn't have concocted lines to tell he's not a. racketeer there's a they charge him with mail fraud because he said i deleted some files and what he had done was delete the links to them it's like if you have a computer and you take a file and you throw in the trash. the file is still on your hard disk it didn't really get a race the link is gone you can't find it any more by that link so that's a phony charge and really had got rid of the one part you could get rid of to make it look as though it was deleted the phony charges just indicate that they're going to they're doing everything they can to make the public think they the prosecutors are in the right you know but you don't do phony things when you're in the right you have an open and shut case there have and they're having to go be on the

balance of what's what's right to try to convict him what kind of precedent do you think this sets for just government overstepping i've read a lot about how they confiscated his data files actually took him to the united states and they didn't have the right to do that it's it's the trouble is we've developed what sort of rights you have to have against accusers meaning the place in the prosecutor's they are the accusers presumption of innocence means the burden of proof is on the accuser they have to prove things you have the right to be notified what you're being charged of you have a right to a lot of different rights that make sure you're being treated fairly and prosecutors and governments have found every way they can to get around those rights and that's what bothers me is that you know if they want to convict you of something you didn't do they have an awful lot of techniques to do it lot of ways to do it and you founded the electronic frontier foundation to protect free speech should the principle of the first and then be protected with something like wiki leaks free speech is not absolute in my mind it's

a very important right it has to go through considerations of did you violate it in ways that might be hurt somebody else some free speech could actually trigger harmful events could trigger even murders so does murdering an abortion doctor count as free speech no there are limits to free speech i don't know in the case of wiki leaks. i don't know where that's going to fall out so i think there are limitations in terms of kind of opening or protecting all free speech online in the war on whistleblowers will. all free speech online i was brought up with the belief that the first amendment was such a good thing every every one of our bill of rights in the united states was so crucial to my heart the way my dad taught me but free speech meant you could say something bad about the president even you could say something bad about your government you had that right and we were taught you don't have that right in communist russia so i believe in that right very strongly. as far as as far as wiki

leaks you know i wish i knew more about the whole case for on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the whistleblower blew the truth that people found out what they the people had paid for you know and the government says no no no the people should not know what they paid for growing up in a generation where you've seen the internet proliferate into something that's so massive and where political and social movements are birds online now what do you think just about the evolution of the internet and how you know apple has really played a role in expanding that to people you know when we started the company i was go back to that point did we have a vision of computers being prolific in everybody's hands throughout society yes did we have the idea that it would lead to you know the incredible connection that the internet would come onboard the broadband would come on board for almost everyone who wants it and that that would lead to all these you know basically the way we live life in the way we do things put everything political everything social the way we do things with other people is all done with your computer on the

internet with your i phones with your mobile devices now and it's a totally different world than it was when will we have powerful computers but they weren't a part of your life as much as now and i'm just as happy as everyone else to see it having turned out this way how do you see it going do you think that it will still continue or do you think that we'll see kind of. curb i mean what the political and social movements now where everything's integrated everything's being homogenized in the entire world and we're seeing the arab spring the occupy wall street movement really because of social interaction yes i think that all. a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i think i fear it will be that the gatekeepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me you know i fear that very strongly that especially net neutrality issues like that internet freedom is being interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the

internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't bound by any individual country's laws maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles in life and then as soon as a country figures out a way to get control of them it disappears i'm an optimist and i believe we can move more and more towards net neutrality the trouble is a lot of it has to be enforced by the government and. conservative types and libertarian types say government shouldn't have any say in control over that that takes away our freedom wrong it takes away the freedom of the companies that are taking away the freedom from us every freedom we have in the united states every one of them was given to us by congressional regulation it's called the bill of rights that that is what gives us our freedom and yet it was from the government was government regulation no there are times when government regulation says you will not impede with the internet neutrality of the users what do you think about

this whole hacktivism movement that's come out of you know the one whistleblowers in the occupy wall street and anonymous and you have you know they take downs of government websites and then you see legislation lexis cyber intelligence security protection act that kind of puts a stop to these things you think that that's kind of working as a guys. and using the hacktivism and hacktivists to kind of regulate the internet even more so i really think that there are means for legitimate discourse and trying to bring attention with activist x. is wrong on the other hand i believe very strongly in legitimized marches and that sort of stuff you know with the approval of the authorities there's room in our society to go out and have a microphone and to have a say and be heard by so many others especially in this day of the the internet so there are a lot of avenues it's just trying to you know grab something to get on the news and i don't think that's the way to maybe it's

a start it puts ideas in people's heads but i really. i don't i don't think that's the right way to solve things and i said before that no one really has the responsibility to speak out about anything but why why do you save why do you speak out and why you think so many others don't about these issues you know what the whole world is very conflict oriented we want to take a side and fight for my side my side might be my country it might be my computer platform it might be that which browser i use and i take my side and everybody else's back. and i want to fight it and i only want to look at the world one way and i'm the i try to be so wide open and just you know accept everything and judge it that's the logical scientific you know approach don't take a side don't be like for one religion against others that sort of thing thank you so much for your time.
