takers were demanding an end to the french led combat action against insurgents in neighboring mali and there the operation has intensified french troops are now on the ground in support of a heavy air campaign against al qaeda linked groups also received the just tickle support from its nato allies while the e.u. is preparing to send hundreds of military personnel to train the mahdi army u.k. based political analysts down glazebrook says that paris is intervention is a result of failed western strategy in africa. you see what happened since the execution of gadhafi human destruction of libya is that the west and funded may quit. these death squads effectively in libya the flow of weapons and fighters. 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 for. the destabilization spread to algeria and this

hasn't happened the rebels have made their 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 think no no no this is not the idea at all so now they're bombing mali to try and bomb the rebels back into it but i think what we're seeing with the attack the hostage taking as actually played into the west's hands on this is creating good propaganda for for the west to win over the support of their own populations and saying look at these look at these terrorists we have to do away with them we have to put more effort into the war is worth it because look at the alternative look at these crazy terrorists so if this hostage taking is creating the kind of propaganda we're going to see a lot more to justify a long drawn out intervention. and 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 u.s.

air force lieutenant colonel karen kwiatkowski says that the current turmoil is a four out of washington's reckless interference in the country's internal affairs . 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 ico us in the u.n. i think the government our government the united states wastes a lot of money this is another example of that. more opinions and i'm not us is all

the reasons and possible repercussions of the war in mali altie dot com one of the experts we've been talking to believes that france is revealing an imperial approach to the region and that the african state will suffer the consequences let us know what you think of this and other views we've gathered legal feedback in the comments section of the website r.t. dot com. britain's prime minister is using his nation's membership of the e.u. as bait as he looks to carve concessions out of brussels in the much hyped speech but the balancing act is hazardous euro skeptics fear that david cameron won't go far enough with his demands while you're across say he's gone too far already and

is already sort of further port's he risks 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 protests to deliver a landmark speech on europe but with warring factions in his own policy growing euro skeptic sentiment in the u.k. and his increasingly unimpressed european counterparts to appease and the pressure is on if he's struggling right now on this issue up till now i think he has he hasn't given 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 is to paper over the cracks to give a bit of them to them and say that we now are looking for europe to make a response to our proper request 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 does not help. with this speech under such scrutiny maybe david cameron could get some inspiration from the know the conservative leader he's

relationship with the e.u. was often stress. to try to suppress mission and concentrate power of the center of a european congress would be highly damaging and would jeopardize the objectives we shift to a tree in margaret thatcher's memorable speech she set herself against the european superstate exercising and need dominance from brussels all yuri skeptics often forget is that margaret thatcher balance those warnings with a staunch defense of britain's place in the hearts. the truth is though that these days and 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 this is for angry family squabble all out in the open i mean.

the tory party will say much riding on this speech if he tries to please everyone i think david cameron munter 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 been nicknamed the tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow speech it's now expected you get some more sarah. london especially worried about the prime minister's speech of business leaders who warning that cameron is taking britain towards an economic cliff conservative party m.p. steve baker thinks the u.k. is better off outside the e.u. . the consequences are worse for the than they are for the united kingdom if we leave because i think we you would become even more inward looking and really what's required is a change of heart within the nations of europe to be more outward looking and to believe more in dispersed political power it's quite likely that the european union will say you know our way or exit i think all sorts of horror stories will be told

to try and keep us in but in the end the british public of got to have confidence in ourselves the european union's a relatively new innovation we were a great help with looking trading nation and hugely prosperous long before the european union we don't need all these petty forty four being 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 . and by the way stay tuned to r.t. this coming friday as we bring you our special coverage of david cameron's big speech on europe. pakistan's government has reportedly agreed to the demands of a firebrand cleric in return for ending a mass sittin of tens of thousands of his supporters around parliament the team of officials are understood to be holding talks with dr tarheel qadri who is calling on the government to resign earlier he should the government with an ultimatum to

start negotiating with him threatening further action the political chaos in the country is also deepened after the government clashed with a top called his order to arrest the prime minister over a corruption case was refused officials have accused the judiciary and the military of a conspiracy ati has talked exclusively to the protest leader who told us exactly what he means by the revolution. when i say we should keep in your mind in egypt in tunis in libya and all these countries. need to be dictatorship for years and years for a long time. and if people stood up against it in iran there was it were an alkie rule of shen shah that people stood up against their. party stanek is bit different there is no room neither monadic nor a military dictatorship here is electoral authority and twenty billion is electoral

dictatorship truly maki to see does not exist in dissociate neither in political field nor in social feed nor in economic democracy so this is a lot less and less total chaos and anarchy in this country got more distorted dysfunctional. saw that this is the single nation single country in the whole muslim world having a nuclear capability and if the same situation continues there could be a very big disaster if we come to the level of collapse so our this martin movement is anti corruption to educate our society from corruption and this is need of the whole muslim world. and old third world and developing muslim countries have to get rid of corruption and corrupt leaders. and ask that creation of the pac nationalists for a lobbying group says these protests herald the unraveling of the existing political system. 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 leave 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. well it's always good to hear from you on the issues we're covering here on r.t. so head to our t.v. dot com for our poll on whether you believe we're seeing something similar to the

arab spring in the country there in pakistan now here are the options we're giving you on the website at the moment is this a military plot to seize power other western interests here at play or do the pakistanis really believe they've had enough of corrupted teacher ships or perhaps if the media frenzy dies down so will the protests well let's have a look and see how your reacting so far we've just updated the website in the last half an hour and we can see that a little over half of you a significant fifty three percent say western interests are at play here followed by nineteen percent saying that this is actually a homegrown protest with outrage at corruption in pakistan seventeen percent believe that the protesters will eventually quietened down and eleven percent are saying this is a military plot well if you haven't done so already please tell us what you think always good to hear from me r.t. dot com online all the time and we'll do another update on the website a little later and of course we'll be keeping up to date with those developments in

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 in revealed the breach by accident when they received a request from a us company asking for help in understanding anomalistic to what he was witnessing in his private network and open an active connection from shane young china we hear the u.s. constantly complain about chinese hackers but apparently with employees like bob when he texts. a temper again for mel that could lead to long lost ing financial disaster later russia was of

a looming people criticising it would strive towards devaluation of the yen as tokyo bids to boost exports that's just ahead for you here on. the first israel has issued two hundred tenders for new housing in the west bank 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 about giving them new homes any more about him as he far 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. it's a good government betrayed me it betrayed the people it sent to settle the land and build their lives there but it's a mistake a mistake that should be fixed. 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 and 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 the 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 little now 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 it 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 concern than 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. well the settlements issue would of course be one of the main decision drivers when israelis had to the polls in less than a week for a snap parliamentary election when you join r.t. on voting day that's generally the twenty second for special coverage. how will change with to run develop settlement expansion isolate can there be peace with jazz or what's next in relations with america will not in yahoo survive his snuff election on january twenty second. israel decides.

russia has warned a currency whirled 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 do the same but it has a story. an economy not so far away that 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 has been printing blocks for the last five years to support the markets but that also makes the dollars cheaper in washington has been looking over the shoulder and china which was 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 to 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 or was part of the lead up to world war two but that's not all if we explored become cheaper imports become more expensive so ordinary citizens can buy a 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. now time for some international news in brief in our world update this hour four people being killed and more injured after the past caring afghanis sheer pilgrims near the iraqi city of karbala the blast tore through the underneath of the vehicle more than twenty two people have died in two days of attacks targeting shia muslims . tens of thousands of people turned out in the turkish city for the funeral of three kurds assassinated a week ago in paris women whose bodies were flown back from france on wednesday the members of the kurdistan workers party the p k k leaders of the group of blame turkish nationalists for the execution style killing. the us defense secretary's in italy during his last week long tour of europe before he steps down the on panetta has been reaffirming washington's military wings across the atlantic in madrid he

said that america will double its presence in spain this year international human rights lawyer curtis doebbler believes washington is stuck in a tedious cycle with the defense industry. the american military industrial complex which we've been warned about by presidents is a very significant threat to the united states being at peace in any type of permanent manner wars for the united states are a double sided sward on the one hand because the military industrial complex accounts for probably about seventy five percent of the american economy they produce an input to that economy on the other hand as we seen in afghanistan interact they also drain the economy on one side so it's almost a endless circle a have to continue off and b.'s the intervention still be able to bring in the resources to be able to then say we're able to have new interventions and

unfortunately that's been the story of the last. thirty or forty years so they're constantly moving troops around in part because countries dr very comfortable with having american troops stationed there as you've seen in the far east in japan troops have committed crimes on the civilian population and that has caused difficulties with their acceptance within the population. well that's the way it is at the moment. with the news team for in about an hour with more news in the meantime another edition of the kaiser report starts in a couple of minutes that's after this brief break stay with us this is auntie. congress' approval rating has hit an all time low never has american record history been so disappointed with the lawmaking 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 governed 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 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.

but as a report. things are getting this out there so toxic derivative nuclear meltdown is no no no. micrograms of particulates air so thick you can hardly brave people so fickle dead you can barely stand living next to them though your lose filled with the risk who still to me is a good idea why don't we just remove all the rest from the world oh that's right because of that risk there would be no fricken capitalism at all stacey herbert yes max we're going to talk about risk in this episode in the fact that with derivatives.
