the french intervention in mali face the consequences thirty four and kidnapped in a. gas field in neighboring algeria reportedly killed during a rescue mission. the prime minister place. of business leaders warn of. his. knowledge he speaks exclusively to the mastermind of the current public outrage in pakistan a revolution which has nothing in common with the arab spring and political

shuffles. made in china and america. for an easy life facebook by outsourcing is day's work to the east until he was. with news from around the world. now thirty five foreign hostages held captive at a gas field in algeria have reportedly been killed in the operation to free them fifteen of the captors are also thought to have died the militants first attacked the complex on wednesday killing at least two of the staff and kidnapping dozens so we're understanding now here at r.t. we're just getting reports that some hostages are still being held at the algerian gas plant after many as i said were killed in

a military strike the hostage takers were demanding an end to the french led combat action against insurgents in neighboring mali meanwhile the operation in the west african state has intensified french troops are now on the ground in support of the heavy air campaign against al qaeda linked groups that the army's also received logistical support from its nato allies or the e.u. is preparing to send hundreds of military personnel to train the. u.k. based the political analyst dan glazebrook says france's intervention is a result of failed western strategy in africa you see what happened since the execution of good enough human destruction of libya is that the west and unfunded may quit. these death squads effectively in libya the flow of weapons and fighters read them across the region which was again playing into the program of the west to destabilize the region and they ended up in northern mali the hope was

that after libya algeria would fall and that the destabilization spread to algeria and this hasn't happened the rebels made that base in northern mali and now what we're seeing in recent weeks is that the insurgency is starting to spread south into southern mali so france and britain thinking no no no this is not the idea at all so now the bombing mali to try and bomb the rebels back into. now the u.s. says its involvement in the mali operation is currently limited to intelligence sharing but it wasn't always like this many millions who were trained by american agents to combat militants have switched sides retired you from u.s. air force lieutenant colonel karen and he says the current turmoil is a fallout of washington's reckless interference in the country's internal of us. we should not be intervening in countries that we don't understand and i mean i think libya and syria stand as present day examples of that iraq and afghanistan also

stand as examples of that we tend to go to countries where we have an interest and that tends to blind our judgment as to what really is going on on the ground i think if we could let countries kind of settle their problems internally yes people are going to get killed but i think it would be far quicker and far fewer damage to people's lives to property then when the great powers get involved and that includes us in the un i think the government our government the united states wastes a lot of money this is another example of that we can also check out more opinions and analysis on the reasons and possible repercussions of the war in mali dot com and one of the experts we've been talking to believes that france is revealing an imperial approach to the region and that the south african scheme of african states will certainly suffer the consequences you can let us know what you think on this and other views we've got that already leave your feedback in the comments section

of r.t. dot com. it's good to have you with us here on out to today britain's prime minister is using his nation's membership of the e.u. as bait as he looks to concessions out on brussels in a much hyped speech but the balancing act is hazardous euro skeptics fear david cameron won't go far enough with his demands on your account say he's already gone too far up his report sees risking upsetting everybody. when the prime minister first became leader of the conservative party he said the biggest problem was that they spent far too much of their time banging on about europe i see glad those days

are over i. think countdowns as the prime minister prepares to deliver a landmark speech on europe but with warring factions in his own policy a growing euro skeptic sentiment in the u.k. and his increasingly unimpressed european counterparts to pay and the pressure is on is he's struggling right now on this issue up till now i think he has he hasn't given us a clear message a clear point on the e.u. and the u.k.'s relationship with it i think has been for a number of factors whether it be the world economy whether be the economy or whether it be his own backbenchers so widely expected that the prime minister will pledge a major european treaty with vision included in that would be a clawing back powers to britain in key areas they need terms of british membership

in the e.u. would then be put to the country's citizens in a referendum after the next general election he really painted himself into a corner where he's got to have a referendum after an election and he will try a skillful politician if he. paper over the cracks to give a bit. and say that we now are looking for europe to make a response to our proper requests that it will be a very. confident speech until you actually analyze it and you see that he's asking for the e.u. to behave in a way that is not a hope in hell they will do that with this speech under such scrutiny maybe david camm going to get some inspiration from the know the conservative leader he's relationship with the e.u. was often stray. to try to suppress mission and concentrate power of the center of a european kong would be highly damaging and would jeopardize the objectives to

achieve in margaret thatcher's memorable speech she set herself against the european superstate exercising and need dominance from brussels yuri skeptics often forget is that margaret thatcher balance those warnings with a staunch defense of britain's place at the heart of. the truth is though that these days in that speech will be a hard sell with growing and. sentiment it's uncertain whether he'll even be able to please those within his party rest of us sidelined for can't believe this is going on here for angry family squabbles all out in the open i mean destroy the tory party with say much riding on this speech he tries to please everyone thinks he can the very real risk of pleasing no one. and say the time has come for the big speech delayed so many times already it's being

nicknamed the tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow speech it's now expected you get some more sarah. london and especially worried about the prime minister's speech business leaders are warning that cameron is taking britain towards an economic cliff a conservative party m.p. steve baker thinks the u.k. is better off outside the. consequences or worse off if you know what you're going to miss because i think we've become even more inward looking i really want to change. and. it's quite like you say you know our way or. sorts of stories it's all drawn in but in the end the british public have got to have confidence in ourselves the european union's a relatively new innovation we were a great outward looking trading nation and hugely prosperous long before the

european union we don't need all these petty for regulation we certainly don't need to surrender the sovereignty of the people so i think people need to just be considered and think carefully about what kind of future they want or do i stay tuned to r.t. this friday we bring you our special coverage of david cameron's big speech on your . right a ten minutes past the hour moscow time pakistan's government has reportedly agreed to the demands of a firebrand cleric in return for ending a mass sit in of tens of thousands of his supporters around parliament a team of officials are understood to be holding talks with dr currently who's calling on the government to resign earlier he issued the government with an ultimatum to start negotiating with him or threatening further action of political chaos in the country has also deepened after the government clashed with the top

court order to a rest of prime minister over corruption charges was refused. accused the judiciary and the military of a conspiracy in the last he has spoken exclusively to the protest leader who told us what it is exactly that he means when he calls for a revolution. when i see it whooshing we should keep in your mind in egypt in tunis in libya and all these countries there were lead to the dictatorship for years and years for a long time. in that people stood up against that in iran there was it when alkie a rule of shan shah the people stood up against their. party stand cases be different there is no one alkie allude neither monadic elul nor the military dictatorship here is electoral authority and twenty guineas electoral dictatorship true democracy does not exist indecl cited neither in political field nor in social

feed nor economic field or democracy so this is a lot less and less total chaos and anarchy in this country government is totally dysfunctional. saw that this is the single nation single country in the whole muslim world and in nuclear capability and if the same situation continues there could be a very big disaster if we could come to the level of collapse so out of this margin movement is anti corruption to educate our society from corruption and this is need of the whole muslim world the whole turd world and developing muslim countries the have to get to the end of corruption and corrupt leaders. and ahmed correction of the pack nationalists form of lobbying group says these protests herald the true unraveling of the existing political complex. what we're basically seeing is that the democratic system of the country is in the throes of the final stages of collapse collapse under it under the weight of its own corruption collapse under

the weight of its own incompetence so it's a major development it's important to remember that these demonstrations may not lead immediately to change or the immediate collapse the fall of the government itself but the process has a started it's a failed democratic system it's a small clique of elite politicians who are intermarried interrelated to each other through family marriages and so forth and they're divided in the using different parties to sort of divide the cake and of course indulge in massive corruption i think in the in the seventy year history of modern pakistan we've seen the most corrupt government ever in this short history of ours. we can always head over to r.t. dot com for our ongoing poll on whether we are actually seeing something similar to the arab spring are coming to that country we're giving you several options on our website our dot com and if we can show you some of the options if indeed we can at

r.t. dot com people saying basically the bears no spring coming yet it's just a military plot and here we have some more of the options as well some saying that also it's just just what we got a military plot to seize power it's a western conspiracy also some say that what the pakistanis are just fed up with a government that doesn't even listen to them and here we have the final choice as well that well when the media frenzy dies down always blaming the media thank you very much perhaps people lose interest always bring out the pie charts here from r.t. dot com and see how you are voting for this hour right now and it looks like still the majority up to fifty three percent now are saying it's all about western interests in the region the western powers are plotting to remove an unfriendly regime just down to the second position now saying that is actually true outrage at corruption that the government doesn't listen to the ordinary average person just a couple of points behind that that the protest will die down if indeed the media

will stop focusing on it so much because as we always do or people do blame the media it's always our force and then down to the bare minimum that will be eleven percent for this hour from r.t. dot com that it's actually a military plot to overthrow the government well we'll continue to cover the story and continue to take your opinions at r.t. dot com welcome you to post posted and reevaluated every hour from hour to hour the fluctuating numbers has the arab spring finally made its way to pakistan with more of that to come and more news to come after a short break. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the ip interviews for intriguing stories are you. trying.

thanks for joining us here on. live in moscow now watching you tube videos while picking up a good salary getting good performance reviews possible dream for the world's desk jockeys one enterprising american he secretly outsourced his day's work at multiple companies to china and thought he's gonna reports and he got away with it. you may already know that outsourcing is very popular in american companies outsource manufacturing to places like china they outsourced services including call centers to places like india american companies outsource jobs all the time but some americans took outsourcing to a whole new level by getting someone in china or elsewhere to work under their name and credentials one of america's largest broadband and telecommunications companies why is that most recently caught one of software developers doing exactly that someone they refer to as bob paid a software consulting firm in china less than one fifth of his six figure salary to

do his job bob gave them all the codes necessary to access the critical infrastructure company's internal system so while the chinese were ransacking the internal system of as critical infrastructure company in the us bob devoted his work time to facebook reddit e-bay and cat videos seriously his browsing history revealed that's what filled bob's typical workday apparently bob had the same scam going across multiple companies earning several hundred thousand dollars a year and only paying the chinese consulting firm about fifty thousand annually at one of the companies he reportedly received excellent performance reviews for the last several years in a row even being hailed the best software developer in the building it was a sweet deal for bob which is apparently not his real name until the rise and revealed the breach by accident when they received a request from a us company asking for help in understanding anomalistic tittie was witnessing in

its private network and open an active connection from shane young china we here in the us constantly complain about chinese hackers but apparently with employees like bob who needs efforts. reporting right now israel has issued two hundred ten days for new housing in the west bank a settlement watchdog group has issued a report saying the government is deliberately using construction in vital areas to undermine the creation of a palestinian state and many israeli settlers feel this isn't actually about giving them new homes any more. i.v. fast is wary about unpacking again he's already been forced to move twice first from the israeli settlement of in the sinai peninsula and then twenty three years later from the settlement of gaza in a move television hoped would inspire peace both times his government had encouraged him to put down roots in the settlements and both times his government forced him out there's a good argument that our government betrayed me it betrayed the people it sent to

settle the land and build their lives there but that's a mistake a mistake that should be fixed that though but first of all in the thousands of other former gaza settlers need to fix their lives a group of them live here in central israel in small temporary structures they built with the own money some of the laws the government didn't do what it was supposed to do didn't rehabilitator swe have no roof over our heads. so when prime minister benjamin netanyahu announces the approval of thousands of new city units the settler movement while police can't help but feel suspicious that they are merely being used as chess pieces in the government's political game. it's obvious to everyone that all of a sudden there is approval of big construction plans what does that mean that i'm supposed to vote for netanyahu or someone else i'd be happy rather to have a prime minister who approved construction in any part of israel. tamera range works for property development group in

a neighborhood in east jerusalem that has passed the pre nine hundred sixty seven green line construction here is controversial but the waiting list of hopeful buyers is overflowing i think the government of meccano realizes that most important for them now is to give the settlers what they want because the constituency of liquid part of the party is the far right and they're playing into their hands and unfortunately not in the hands of the general public interest. but could these new city units be bashed on in the future like what happened to the settlements in gaza and yes there is this amount of uncertainty but you know when we created this country when we established. four years ago there was even a greater level of uncertainty and keep on the table we are thriving community

for generation. that were born and we are here. and for as long as the governments on this side of the settlement abate they're staying at least for now but a showdown is inevitable israel says its settlements are an issue to be discussed during negotiations but palestinians say they won't hold peace talks while israel builds on land they want for a future state policy r.t. tel aviv. on the settlements issue will certainly be one of the main decision drivers when israelis head to the polls in less than a week for a snap parliamentary election to join us on our team here for the voting day that will be generated twenty second for our special coverage. how will change with to run develop sensible to expunge just isolate can there be peace with gaza what's next in relations with america will not in you know who survive his snuff election on january twenty second. israel decides. to

stay with us for that if you can for now though russia has warned a currency world war is looming for the global economy the concerns were sparked by japan's move to lower the value of the yen in pursuit of better exports causing fears of a massive chain reaction as other nations could follow suit artie's a good person often has the story. an economy not so far away actually the global economy is on the verge of a currency war allow me to paint a quick picture for you in japan where the newly elected prime minister has been pushing for a more aggressive central bank policy has been dropping the yen went down by eleven percent since december meanwhile in europe the euro is rising and that's right despite the debt and eurozone crisis austerity measures and so on the euro grew by seven percent in the last six months and experts say europe has fired the first shell e.u. financial authorities warn the rise of the euro is threatening the economy so it is

possible it will be deliberately dropped meanwhile across the atlantic the united states have been printing blocks for the last five years to support the markets but that also makes the dollar cheaper washington has been looking over the shoulder at china which holds the majority of u.s. foreign debt and beijing is also accused of holding back the u. one the reason why they do that is the one currency is dropped the export becomes cheaper making the country more competitive obviously that's not greeted with applause by its competitors other countries which we tallied by dropping the very currencies so it's like a domino effect and the last time a major currency war happened was during the great depression in the one nine hundred thirty s. which resulted in a slowdown of international trade and all was part of the lead up to world war two but that's not all if x. force become cheaper imports become more expensive so ordinary citizens can buy less imported goods and traveling abroad traveling abroad rather becomes more

expensive that leads to public disapproval unrest and so on that's why russia which only cheers the g twenty is so worried and it's very likely you will see a major skirmish when the groups financial ministers meeting next month in moscow. order starting with iraq into the antiwar dot that we go to where four people have been killed and twelve more injured after a bomb hit a bus carrying afghani shere pilgrims knew the iraqi city of karbala and the blast tore through the underneath of the vehicle and blew up most of its windows open twenty two people have died in two days of attacks targeting shia muslims. and monsoon rains in indonesia have triggered massive floods killing four people in the capital twenty thousand have been evacuated from their homes cars would normally be packing in the streets here but the roads across the city have been totally blocked off officials have warned the rains could continue of the next couple of days. after obama has called for sweeping gun controls in the wake of the connecticut

elementary school shooting that killed twenty six proposals include placing police in schools compulsory background checks on gun buyers and a ban on assault weapons u.s. president used his executive powers to bring a number of changes into immediate effect bypassing congress but the house will still have to approve key. and some experts believe a close relationship between lawmakers and the influential gun lobby where the president. and members of congress are worried about are not how they do the general election but how they do in the primaries so even if they may personally support you know more background checks smaller magazines or what have you what they're worried about is that in the primary they get an n.r.a. funded more right wing on it who comes in and call them a gun grabber and then obvious and they're out of a job so that's going to be a big obstacle. just ahead for you here on out see just a couple of seconds away it's going to be our special report made in america.

congress' approval rating has hit an all time low never has american record history been so disappointed with the law making body the united states even former arkansas governor mike huckabee said that their approval ratings are just barely above a pedophile so i guess that's good news for the disgusting pedophiles out there soon you won't be the most hated group in america anymore but i don't think this statistic reflects the quality of government but so much the quality of the government in some small country with a hard to pronounce name if the government became that unpopular the country would simply collapse but no matter how many wars congress gets involved in and no matter how many jobs are shipped overseas or no matter how much the american dream gets stamped out everyone still rallies around obama and votes democrat and republican

this popularity rating doesn't show how effective the government is it shows how arrogant they are because they seem to have no fear whatsoever of not getting reelected or being punished in any way for their bad behavior so you know congress i have to save us keep up the good work go for one percent popularity and maybe someone will actually do something about you but that's just my opinion.
