wall is fun for one mobile app developer who's made a game which allows players to retrace the syrian conflict leaves little choice except to bring down the president assad. a rocky ride turns into tragedy here in russia as a thrill seeker dies in a solving accident after the ball carrying him and a friend flies off course and falls into a border. guard for dissent who weighed just wary sue activists in jail for tweeting against a meal even though one post didn't even mention the router. and the

divide and rule the british parliament brings the axe down on welfare spending with low income workers said to be hit hardest. twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is r.t. first the bloody conflict in syria which has been dragging on for almost two years and claimed more than sixty thousand lives has now entered the realm of internet gaming called end game syria players get the chance to slide on the side of the rebels exploring various options to conclude the war how do you got these kind of took a look at the game and shared his impressions with me. amazing graphics stunning three d. action not really it's more about an online game which simulates the

situation the standoff between syrian government forces and the rebels so you've got two sides the regime and the rebels you can only plea for the rebels the computer generates what the regime has to offer in terms of combat you can see those are delivery tanks and so on so forth you choose on the side of the rebels what sort of methods you want to use against the regime like entier weapons then you've got tanks also and basically the the game calculates your chances of success there's also the political phase which you can see here the developers have been saying that the game was based on real media reports from the real situation in the in syria. although here there's the perfect example china which is automatically given by the game it's here represented as a country which supports the regime although we haven't heard any open statements

from the chinese government russia is put in the same line with iran. has also actually has a has an openly supported president assad's regime either and neither has russian fact we've been hearing constantly from moscow saying that it's not taking any side of the conflict so if we're talking about any sort of simulation here i guess this is what they call a feel there are many simulator senior leaders of various conflicts real conflicts which happened before war which may happen in the future whatever the game is about whichever side there are you can always pick a side that's our kind of similes and in fact it's really interesting that if you're playing a game about the second world war you're playing on the sides of the nazis for instance there's a possibility of kind of replaying history here even though there is this conflict

hasn't ended yet you're only taking one side. belfast loyalists are urged to negotiate on the six day all over the union flag related rise in northern ireland for the girl doesn't say they don't want to talk and are preparing to take their action to dublin that's coming up in a few minutes. social networking in kuwait has landed two men in jail a court has given each of them a two year sentence claiming they defame to be a mediator with their tweets the uprising in the country is about to mark a second anniversary but the government accused of resorting to any means necessary to get dissenting voices author and journalist afshin rattansi says kuwait is just another u.s. backed dictatorship it's obvious that the united states nato countries just to keep their thousands of troops in kuwait and as we've seen of course there's been demonstrations in bahrain and of course saudi arabia which are not being

covered on any corporate media it's very difficult to cover the brutal suppression of human rights in these nato and u.s. backed dictatorships human rights groups themselves are in a sense a different subject because some of them are being knobbled by u.s. authorities but in fairness than been some human rights groups that have campaigned for the horrible human rights situation suffered by the. elements the we do people under a thousand of those stateless in kuwait and anyone really trying to look for greater freedoms in kuwait in sort of forgotten country in terms of the arab spring and in fact it is hosting at the end of this month a whole conference about syria and about humanitarian help for syria so as love to say about humanitarian things in syria but it imprisons people that tweet anything against them even though it is one of the most democratic places in the persian gulf arab countries. of course you can read more on the crackdown on the opposition

at our teen dot com including some cases of jailing the tweets in another gulf state but rain why imprisoned activists they are losing hope for early release. it was meant to be a bit of fun but ended in a fatality a giant inflated rubber ball commonly known as a saab hearing to thrill seekers has rolled out of control and plunged off a cliff at a ski resort in southern russia one of the men died the other was severely injured the tragedy was caught on camera. all right come on come on. how much is it turned allas where will it go in a minute cool isn't it let's do it now.

you can see the plastic zor ball here which has gone horribly off track from where we just saw it before some people try to stop it or try to put it against some rocks to stop it but it careers on it goes in the end one point five kilometers starting off over the edge of this mountain you can see this on this amateur video which gets a bit shaky now inside a russian father of two and his friends all the others watching the french can see careering down this mountainside it plunged off cliffs and then onto a frozen lake where it came to rest. inside both of them fired around like pinballs one had a broken neck and died on the way to hospital the other escaped with just injuries i mean these kind of a extreme ativan is one always has to think about you know there are repercussions when doing this but what exactly is being for those who have never even heard of the words are being it's looks like quite a strange thing is a giant plastic ball with the sport was invented in new zealand here's one with

this two layers of plastic air in the middle and the person sits inside that they were strapped in his of someone getting in now they're either strapped in or they roll around inside it or slip around inside it i tried it myself once actually and then they push down usually quite quite a gradual slope reasonably short slope and then they spin around bounce around as the ball goes down and then the court at the end very popular sport is caught on or around the world many people try it all over the place at ease said you've tried it it seems to be popular but is it favor the thing is the principle is reasonably quite safe but people like to try and push it as far as it can go here's some people in the city boom you see there upwards of this car people like to try and use this this great ball of plastic. as a creatively as they can and it can go wrong especially when it's not regulated. monitored properly here we see

a woman flies outside here in slow motion we can just see her right here and she shoots up and that was on a controlled course that was that wasn't supposed to happen a tall so what is in principle looks totally giant protective prostate wall can actually prove quite dangerous. g.'s tom barton with the story for us drones that take it to the skies over disputed territory in the east china sea if you have even more cash and i take andres with analysts warning surveillance could lead this government that's ahead. tensions between loyalists and police in belfast over the flying of the union flag appear to be far from easing this after appropriators demonstrators pelted security forces with petrol bombs were six consecutive day to talk more about this we're now joined by a pole not all deputy leader of the u.k. independence party who is in london mr not your party has condemned the decision to

limit displaying the union flag as part of a war against the u.k. but in most of the u.k. the flag is already flown on special days only why should belfast be any different . world obviously the. very important to the u.k. and it's full of many buildings here in england over unfortunately we also have the european union flag flying on sundays as well obviously to the people of northern the flag is particularly important. to see because they see that as a sign of their their whole identity really and obviously there's a lot of trouble out there at the moment as a result. now while anger from certain groups might be expected police say paramilitary groups and even some does ignited terrorists are orchestrating the protests isn't this getting a little bit out of hand. well i think it is getting out of hand and the reports

that there are sort of quasi fascist groups and far right elements who are now directing this this protest is very worrying indeed i think the decision taken by belfast council to lower the flag or only allow the flag to fly in certain days was a wrong decision i hope it is overturned but as i say i condemn the violence was wrong and this should be done through politics and not through people on the street . the lawyers leaders the loyalists leaders though have been called to sit and talk this over but those behind the protests have refused to do that what are ways that they had to settle this. well i think it's going to take a long negotiation i do hope that the council overturn the decision and come to some life this is a decision in the end which will have to be taken i suspect often store months in the northern. or we're calling for is peace and calm and to the people on the streets what i do say is please let the politicians of we don't want any more violence we don't want any more harm to come to police officers we don't want any

more to come to the protesters let the politicians sort this out and let them get roundtable we understand that the loyalists say they are preparing to hold protests in dublin on saturday could we see violence there too well i certainly hope not and i'm not sure about the logic of holding a protest in in dublin it is in effect obviously the republic of ireland is a different country to our only other u.k. northern ireland is part of the i fear that there might be violence i hope there's not but as i say this is a job for the politicians this isn't a job for people out on the streets let's get the politician on the table and let's hope that the council can see sense and let's have a unified speaking of those politicians fifteen years after the good friday agreement where does this all leave the peace process. well the peace process is is quite fraught at the moment obviously we have forced coalition out in northern

ireland which has been a bit of a book better for some of the unionists for quite a long time we want to see peace in the world and i would want more than i want to be part of the union part of the world see the flag flying at belfast that sits in a hole all we hope is that the politicians get round the table the council seeing the sense that we want to see a piece of. coal not told the u.k. independence party thank you for your time thank you. sure. kept quiet we could make a bradley manning windsor moving against the ministry i with a hoss treatment off him while we report on claims of double standards towards whistle blow as. the government no longer represents the people. the people the term.

the or the. the way our economic system.

you're watching our maritime dominance appears to be turning into high tech high stakes andre's and these china sea china and japan are vying for paul in the disputed territory and it strains that out quickly coming to the forefront of the ways james called it added to all the japan based news website says some stand to gain from the escalating crisis. i think they are preparing to to be ready to commit more more resources to the military expenditures and they're getting ready to do that even as we speak and i think we see really the start of a new normal here and in east asia as unfortunately i think tensions military tensions are going to lead to increasing military expenditures on both sides as japan is looking to buy some more global hawk drones and china is launching some new line up to its own fleet of drones and i think that washington is perfectly

happy to to encourage japan in this not only because it obviously benefits their armaments industry and the defense contractors who stand to make the billions that japan will be spending on increased expenditures but also because i think when the further the wedge is driven between japan and china the more it plays into american hands as long as this doesn't actually come to a full scale war i think the more off balance japan is the better it serves america as they seek to get a bigger toehold in the region and i think we're going to see more and more of this because now that abi is in power he's known as a hard line nationalist and now that she paying is taking the helm of china for the next ten years i think he's looking to to put his stake down it's as someone who can really be a strong defender of china so i think we're really going to see an entrenched position on both sides and it looks like there is a new normal of wars and increasing expenditures that are likely for the next several years. and fears over drones as not just limited to asia the fate of the

u.s. and the war on terror can focus on made claims obama's pick for the top job at the cia is to trigger happy don't miss that late in the program. bridges famous welfare system is going through the mill with paul of a drubbing stamping a tap on benefit dreiser's the justification is the exorbitant cost of handouts and abuse by many on benefits but figures show that by far the hardest hit will be low income workers are g.'s laura smith picks up the story. members of parliament have voted in favor of this bill which would have a one percent cap on benefits welfare benefits ministers say this cap is needed because the states handouts have been rising twice as fast as pay as in work pay in recent years this bill will now go through to further reading so it's not passed yet but we can expect significant changes to the welfare budget in the years to

come it's all about this kind of what we've seen in recent weeks this this strivers versus sky versus thing where the government says it wants to support people who are going out to work trying hard to make money versus the people who are staying in bed all day and they say it's fair because public sector pay. is being kept and private sector pay is rising below the level of inflation so why should people who are on benefits get more money but a lot of it goes to in fact two thirds of it goes to the lower paid workers so people who are strivers these various tribes that would be essential workers nurses rubbish collectors people without whom the country would come down to its knees and that's what labor's talking about working tax credits child benefit those kinds of things and in fact a charity the children's society has come out and said that if you are single or single primary school teacher or a nurse with two children you're going to be losing four hundred twenty pounds a year by two thousand and fifteen under these new measures so certainly very

controversial it says we're not all in it together in fact what we are what we governments proposing to do according to labor is hits households towards the bottom of the socio economic scale much harder than they hit household. more children in poverty they say of the landlords association says it could contribute to more homelessness it'll hit women particularly hard because they're the people who child tax credits go to for example and of course people struggling to pay for rising inflation rising fuel prices rising food prices and to put food on the. table and then on the other side of the coin we've got his tax cuts for the rich that will be introduced in april less anything happens if you're over one hundred fifty thousand pounds per year to april you'll be paying five percent less tax at the moment you pay fifty percent it'll be forty five percent owning a million pounds that's going to save you forty thousand pounds per year and people are up in arms about the. debate over the ability of president to rule

venezuela is heating up in a few minutes a report on the climate in the goblin's which is why so many leaders authority despite is recovering from cancer and the opposition's own political ambition. a small victory for private bradley manning with a u.s. judge ruling any eventual sentence he may receive should be reduced by one hundred and twelve days the justification was the especially harsh treatment he received after being locked up for the team fast and wide information tweaky leaks but any time colonel morris davis says that he sees double standards here nonetheless i think the government here is overplayed their hand if you recall when the wiki leaks documents were going to come out it reminded me of the y2k scare everybody kind of braced and expected the worst and then when it came out not much happened and i think the government really overplayed this i'm not aware of there being anything more than embarrassment that has been caused by the wiki leaks documents

there been any operations that have been compromised or any individuals harmed i'm not aware of it but it certainly seems at this point this is more of a case of embarrassment than actual harm it seems to be that they're good leaks and they're badly that you know when it helps make the administration look good on a leak is ok when it's an embarrassment like it is with bradley manning then you know it's a capital offense. this week marks an anniversary for an infamous institution america's guantanamo bay artie's special coverage starts this friday. your borders and beyond the courts eleven years on the guantanamo remains open for business marty looks at the interrogation nerve center of america's war on terror. with barack obama nominating john brennan to head to the cia the future all the

u.s. drone program has come into focus brennan nicknamed by some assassinations law is a supporter of on men drone attacks paul craig roberts a former assistant secretary of the treasury believes america is now becoming the battleground in the war on terror brennan is moving the cia to a more powerful position which the cia will like what you see here is the movement of the cia away from challenges agency but toward being a police agency and in a military force the. war on terror is becoming more and more directed at the american population it's the american population that's being spied on around the clock and we now have drones flying here domestically all of this is coming on here sparring with drugs and the unaccountability of these growing

police agencies. they're often called a men's a best friend but when danger is the attack they can go off that never heal coming up we look at what's being done to control the u.k. the dangerous animals. the inauguration are banned as well as reelected president hugo chavez has been postponed the country's legislators have voted to give the commandant ten facing complications after his fourth cancer surgery enough time to recover before throwing him in the opposition says the move is unconstitutional and wants an official court ruling to resolve the issue that the escobar from asia times online believes that tavis is political power then a shaky position. shows this war is not a monolithic saying like us would dare to say the communist party in china there at least four or five different factions fighting for power and this is a lot of problems if we have an unsteady situation in terms of chavez else because

there will be an internal struggle for power inside this ball game at the same time we're going to have more possibility just of foreign interference in trying to control the you know a loser of this process and especially our friends in washington who have all the news will see an opening well maybe this is the beginning of the end of just of shut these books let's get it out. is there life on mars if not soon could be found on the bank of pay for planning to send people there to live i love more about his wild plan are. preparing for the football world cup brazilian style authorities in that country are leaving nothing to chance giving that's workers free english classes the details on a website. there
