said those days are gone well obviously they're not french intervention raises memories of colonialism which are not very old remember france really ruled this out entire region even after giving it independence the french still ran it from behind the scenes it was called france a freak and a lot of west africans still resent this is the problem is that what's happening in mali now is going to spread to unstable chad where there's no uprising going on a central african republic i recall ost even to nigeria so one has to be very careful here this is a dangerous upper asia what it's doing it's it's like dropping an explosive the middle of the fire it's spreading the fire where it rivaled putting it out. france's military mission is increased fears of revenge attacks on its own soil islamist militants and issued a warning to parents saying it opened the gates of hell by intervening in the country london based political activist john reese believes the rise of terrorism

worldwide is a result of nato's battle against it more than a decade ago the head of the security services in britain warned of then prime minister tony blair that the intervention in afghanistan and iraq would spread the threat of terrorism not reduce it that warning has proved sadly absolutely correct there was no al qaeda in iraq before we invaded there it's now al-qaeda had not spread to pakistan in the way that it has now since the invasion of afghanistan the intervention in libya has led directly to the spread of al-qaeda in mali now we should at least have learnt by now but this is not the way in which you reduce the threat of terrorism we can actually way in which you both for it in which you increase its attractiveness to young people in the region it is something that identify with in exactly one week israelis will head to the polls as the country holds a snap parliamentary election with the situation in the turbulent middle east heavily

for those people every day was. the work killed an estimated three million vietnamese and more than fifty eight thousand americans the u.s. stepped in on the side of south vietnam in its fight against the communist back north which was seeking to unify the country on january fifteenth one thousand nine hundred seventy three thousand excess and announce the end of offensive operations against north vietnam a military crusade that would lead or become a foreign policy benchmark for washington to never repeat the primary lesson that the us foreign policy establishment should have learned from vietnam and i don't think did learn from vietnam is that they cannot in spite of the fact that they have great military supremacy go in and just destroy a government occupy a country and remold their country so it becomes a proxy or a client of the united states forty years and six presidents later critics say washington has done a better job at repeating mistakes rather than learning from them we still keep it

in the. wall for wars or interventions another country's. i mean it's wrong period you're not going to win. we don't win in iraq. we didn't win in the afghanistan war gracefully and when even there with our tail between our legs and the same thing is like a vietnam we didn't win nothing who won absolutely nothing and you know and they just don't get it we've tried to rule the world we've tried to do it in the novel way in a way that's been damaging to every nation in the world but in the process the united states has become less and less free it's become less and less economically viable and with each passing decade war has generated more and more profit for the u.s. military industry i topic r t discussed with filmmaker and vietnam war vet oliver stone we have not done well with interventions anywhere but we continue to be an empire you know we have eight hundred plus spaces since some of the very secret and we believe created a huge infrastructure

a global infrastructure where we're trying to be the world's policeman when it comes to america's security republican senator chuck hagel has been nominated to replace leon panetta hey goal would be the first vietnam vet to ever head the u.s. department of defense when i was in vietnam in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight united states senators making decisions that affected my life. and lot of people who lost their lives but they didn't have i didn't having a say about someone needs to represent that perspective and in our government as well the people in washington make the policy. but it's the little guys who come back in the body but since two thousand and one an estimated sixty six hundred u.s. soldiers have returned from iraq or afghanistan in body bags and last year suicides by american soldiers surged to three hundred forty nine a historic high the u.s. military has had decades of experience in areas like asia latin america the middle

east and africa however experts say if leaders in washington don't begin learning from the past the only foreign policy factor that will continue changing is the geographic location of america's fates halliday's and repeated mistakes reporting from new york. r.t. . up to twenty people have been killed by a double blast in syria's northern city of aleppo that rocked a university that the building is believed to have been housing refugees of course has the details. unconfirmed reports suggest that twenty people have been killed and dozens more wounded syrian state television is calling it a terrorist bombing although from activists there on the ground they say that at this point because it is unclear we are hearing from some sources that there were two explosions in near the university's adorns but it is not immediately clear whether the blasts were the result of shells in vaughan's now several vehicles are also on fire the university is located in an area that is under the control of

government forces fighting between rebels and government forces in the lipper has reached a stalemate and has left the city divided and secondly witnessing an increased in terrorist activities we just look at and left her a letter was the commercial hub of syria before fighting erupted last july it's been a major front in the country's ongoing fighting between government troops and rebels frequently exchanging rockets and mortar rounds in the city over recent months and also the country's capital damascus has been hit by a wave of explosions that have killed scores of people many of the bombings which have largely targeted government buildings and government institutions have been claimed by groups fighting to overthrow the syrian president bashar assad now elsewhere in syria on tuesday troops and rebels fought in the embattled suburbs of damascus and certainly before the billion is only the stabilizing the situation in

the country making extremist activity that possible. stripping protest as old this citizenship police brutality and arrest say of a twitter posts bahrain has seen it all and in the latest news of an elderly man hailing tear gas during a demonstration we reveal how he hadn't felt safe for some time even in his own home. the u.s. state prosecutor was warned freedom of information activist aaron swartz could kill himself stay with us for more on the life and legacy of the twenty six year old in just a minute from now. we'll look at. sunny's technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see

a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations rule the day.

news continues here on r.t. e.u. leaders seeking to concentrate more power in brussels may face a setback from the union's most reliable member germany there thousands signed a petition against the european stability mechanism which would allow the block to use members' funds to help other states in trouble and the germans not exactly happy about letting someone else decide where their money goes as peter oliver found out. there's a rising feeling here in germany that it's not the germans who were really in charge of that country. the government has taken the sovereign rights of the german people and given them away to bureaucrats in brussels specifically with regards to currency this is a painful injury to the sovereignty of germany the issue is said to be fought out in the second tightest court this group calling themselves the civil coalition movement want to stop germany's fiscal future being decided by the european central

bank particularly how much german cash goes to the eurozone countries and so the pressure to democracy because it's no longer the governments who have to make a policy but is the european central central bank deciding which policy is paid for over five thousand people back their petition as they look to challenge one of the most common pieces of perceived wisdom in europe that germany is the success story in the eurozone there was no other country which had so little benefits out of the euro if you come to look to the numbers according to their legal team those numbers showed germany being forced to pay for the euro zone countries despite this not being part of the deal and the single currency was created finance isn't the only place where germans feel a grip is slipping one former german foreign minister gave different reasons why

they may be issues with sovereignty suggesting that they have their root in the memory of the country's past but sometimes we shy back from our responsibility as a sovereign states this is a problem not that we are pressed from the outside defense is also a concern for those who believe germany is losing control of its sovereignty the country is still home to nato bases over twenty years after the end of. cold war germany today faces no major military threats nor does any european state and that's why this gigantic military machine that the americans have built up is completely unlike christic there appear to be historical cultural and economic reasons why some germans feel less sovereignty is disappearing and for a group of lawyers getting ready for their legal battle with the european central plank twenty thirty look set to be an important year and what they see is the fight to return german rule to the german people peter all of a r.t.

berlin violent clashes between police and protesters a flare up in bahrain once again as an outrage crowd went to the funeral of one of the activists the elderly man died after inhaling poisonous tear gas in the previous rally the opposition blame security officers for dozens of killings using harmful substances has been darwish one of the activists says police tend to shoot first and ask questions later. bahrain has been using tear gas canisters or as i like to call it toxic gases against citizens even in their houses not even protestant and the streets in a person an experience that happened to me and division with me is that i am nearly nine months pregnant and just now before few hours of this interview our house was like targeted by pure gas canisters and this men stormed into the house.

that exact effect of a tear gas excessive use of tear gas that is being thrown into the houses effect people i can use tens of months ago we have been and the stressing on them amount of kyrgyz as being used in resentful areas and houses and against peaceful protesters and we are very disappointed at the international community reaction especially the e.u. as and the u.k. position and toured the area near dilution. being being an ally and applying double standards when it comes to dealing with this situation in. on life at the moment crying wolf here in russia the threat is real this time though republican side bierria are authorizing hunting the animals down due to their fondness for livestock. also mind the dreamliner that can take you to your worst nightmares the list of problems with boeing's brand new aircraft continues to grow

with complaints of fuel leaks becoming more common to find out more about that and r.t. how come. the funeral of freedom of information activists aaron swartz is being held now in chicago the twenty six year old committed suicide on friday he faced decades behind bars over accusations he illegally downloaded academic documents for public use what his family who claim prosecutors were complicit in his death has received tens of thousands of online messages in support . an i.t. entrepreneur and founder of the swedish pirate party says almost all information should be free to whoever wants it. you could easily say that military secrets or medical journals should not be free to distribute because it violates privacy by those national security but in terms of access to knowledge to public public documents and records. certainly committed not no crime and that even goes with the

law so what the federal prosecution did was instead throw the book out and the way this had been obtained in terms of how he had walked into the technical university mit in the united states and set up a laptop to download these public docket public documents so they were throwing the book at him to make an example out of spreading knowledge and i think that is a terrible terrible thing to do such a caring and spreading knowledge was never bad for anyone. now for some more world news in brief for you this hour protesters are angry that a decision to stop flying british flag permanently from the city hall in belfast again clashed with police leaving an officer and a bus driver injured this is the latest eruption of violence in seven weeks of demonstrations more than one hundred police have so far been hurt in that time and eighty five people charged for offenses related to the rioting. a train carrying young army recruits is derailed south of cairo killing nineteen and

injuring more than one hundred the number of dead is expected to rise according to authorities egypt's railways have a poor safety record last november more than fifty people died when a train crashed into a school bus. in another crash on the railways this time in sweden a cleaner actually stole the train before tearing into a residential building in an upmarket suburb of stock on the woman who was the only person on board was badly injured to emergency services nearly two hours to free her from the wreckage the forty say five people were in the apartment block at the time but no one was hurt. well known voices in russia will be taken into account lawmakers are promising that parliament will soon start looking at internet petitions this fall as a major public dispute over a new law which includes banning americans from adopting russian children you have this kind of as the details the recent ban for americans to drop russian children

has definitely caused a massive reaction in russian society many are calling on the authorities to abolish the new war and last year russia's leadership announced that if any online petition gathers at least one hundred thousand signatures then it will have to be reviewed by the parliament so now one of russia's newspapers norberg on its website has published a petition which is against the adoption ban and just last weekend we've seen a massive protest rally we should gather thousands of people taking to the streets of moscow and many of them are very away to have also left their signatures on that online petition but now the problem is a lawmaker see that there is no procedure for this petition to become a draft which could be reviewed by parliament it's pretty much as distant from it as say a sketch of a core is the software away from actually driving vehicles or several members of parliament who are also a very active opposition members of the improvised is going to be through them that

this petition is going to become a draft law which the parliament will have to be will have to review but it's very unlikely though that the petition will change the deputies mind since the over we've already supported the actual adoption ban itself but it is definite that the process has started it is going to take time before it could become a factor but of course fully it will persuade more online users to be come more active and to leave signatures in petitions that the would want to the government or the parliament to discuss fixing sort of this bridge between the electorate and the government. well that's it for me and the news team for the moment we'll be back with more for you in about thirty five minutes from now in the meantime next. an orthodox view on the world's finances because a ripple coming away official bringing.

yet another tragic shooting right on the streets of the capital is again cause to open the gun debate across the nation now all the talking heads are saying that you got to take away the guns to be safe well the problem is that the shooting happened right on the streets of the capital of a country where the guns have already been taken away paris france three kurdish women one of whom was a kurdish separatist party co-founder were shot dead the scene of the crime was right outside of a cursed institute which leads the police to think that it was an assassination you see when it comes to terrorism drug cartels in the mafia you can make all the gun laws that you want but the bad guys will still have plenty of guns because they live outside the law al qaeda and mexican drug cartels don't go to the stores and patiently wait for their background checks to be done before they buy their guns

taking away all the guns through legal means won't matter there will still be murder and there will still be armed thugs and terrorists but that's just my opinion. which brightened. from plans to. start time don't.
