but demanding an end to the french led combat action against insurgents in neighboring mali and that the operation has intensified french troops are now on the ground in support of a heavy air campaign against al qaeda linked groups also receive the just tickle support from its nato allies while the e.u. is prepared to send hundreds of military personnel to train the modern army political analyst patrick henningsen says its business interests which france is actually trying to safeguard with its troops and force. well in the mainstream media will tell you in the short term that the the islamic al-qaeda and the islamic magreb is is to blame for this really with regards to the hostage situation the jury but what france and what your other news competitors are neglecting to tell the world is that the al qaeda in the islamic magreb is working closely with the libyan islamic fighting group for whom france itself intervened on behalf of a nato this intervention with the bombing in libya in their gallant raid of libya

in two thousand and eleven so libya's becoming how kind of a playground and that is mostly down to western sponsored al-qaeda playground if you look back just in the last twelve months without any question without any really debate in foreign policy circles countries one of the united states the u.k. and france are now militarily active in the african theater what we're seeing is the world police here and what they're doing is protecting corporate interests in africa there's a british franco a gold mining industry in a country like mali well earlier we spoke to u.k. based political analysts downplays broken he says the french intervention is a result of failed western strategy in africa. you see what happened since the execution of gadhafi and the destruction of libya is that the west armed 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 form and that the destabilization won't spread to algeria and this hasn't happened the rebels have made their base in northern mali and now what we've seen 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 that kind of propaganda we're going to see a lot more to justify a long drawn out intervention. you can take out more opinions and analysis on the reasons and possible repercussions of the war in mali but all to dot com a website online all the time and 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 well let us know what you think of this and other views we've gathered you can leave your feedback in the comments section of the website. a temper that could lead to long lasting financial disaster later russia warns of

out rageous the out of control you say let them lend their own money and interest do what they like but you open up an interest free loan supply from the national bank that's the one thing moving a king will not do and which the present government will not allow because it that smashes the power of the commercial banks and the present european community structure is of elitist and it has no longer taking any concern of the of the the political interests and reactions of the people surveyed up it's not just the u.k. it's the people of france it's the people of holland it's the people of ireland until they were deceived it's all the peoples of europe they want a new relationship in the political structure. spinning for fitness at any age find out a lot what inspired the sixty chinese woman to turn to pole dancing and her question . was when washington upped the number of signatures required for petitions before they triggered

a statement from the white house just days after it was forced to explain why building a star wars inspired death star was a moment to do that had to r.t. dot com for the details on that story and plenty of others. israel has issued two hundred tendence 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 about giving them new homes anymore avi four hundred is wary about unpacking again he's already been forced to move twice first from the israeli settlement in the sinai peninsula and then twenty three years later from the settlement of the night in 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. of there said my 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 that. but first evian the thousands of other former gaza city has 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 reef 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 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 down in the future like what happened to the settlements in gaza and you meet yes there is the center 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 but we are not cheap on the table we are thriving communities with fourth generation israelis that were born and we are here to stay . and for as long as the governments on this side of the settlement abate their 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. tell of. well the settlements issue will of course be one of the main decision drivers when israelis had to the polls in less than a week from now for a snap parliamentary election you can join r.t. on voting day that's generally the twenty second for a special coverage. how will tension with to run develop settlement expansion 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 on arts or. the violence in syria has led to more civilian casualties over the past few days reports by activists allege over one hundred were killed by president assad's forces near the town of homs now that follows tuesday's double blast in university in the city of aleppo which killed over eighty and in nearby live car bombings have claimed at least two dozen lives most of them government troops to imprison activists talk to you as an adult i think of a man who says that most people here passively opposing the rebels thousands remain silent while the change. in the majority of the syrian people remain silent and the majority this silent majority have always wanted to change in syria but they did not want the change that the rebels are being going to about so

there is a difference between the revolutionaries in one sense or the peaceful revolutionaries or people who peacefully want to change and those who adopt of terrorism as a means to it so i think from the very very beginning there is a split between between the i the elf wanting change and wanting to adopt terrorism now if you look at the acts of the so-called look at the free syrian army and the different parts all districts of syria they are now completely notorious for looting sects and kidnapping that's all that they do and the other part that was described as the most effectively militarized are in the store front and in the eyes of all all all all the international community they are they are acting in their terrorist passive so the syrian the syrian public is completely dissociated from from the so-called free and free syrian army or the terrorist groups however

unfortunately this groups are support whether this agrees with the will of the syrian people or not. more international news in brief this hour here naughty four people being killed and injured. in the past caring afghani ship 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. sons of thousands of people turned out in the turkish city. for the funeral of three cuts assassinated a week ago empowers the women whose bodies were flown back from france on wednesday were members of the kurdistan workers party the p.k. k. leaders of the group of turkish nationalists for the execution style killings i. have triggered massive floods killing four people in the capital twenty thousand have been evacuated from their homes cars would normally be packing the streets but

explain delaying his speech. well this long awaited fourth speech is now being put back the prime minister saying that this is cheetah the own going crisis at the algerian gas plant now obviously we see the situation there developing and the prime minister saying that it's a very dangerous very fluid situation and saying that there's a possibility that we should prepare ourselves for the bad news now see there are forces families involved in this of course many many other different countries as well of it also have their nationals that we know that there are police liaison people we're told with the families tonight that are all basically watching the situation as it unfolds with the concern. of course gee today's ongoing situation the prime minister's speech being delayed once again and it really is living up to business now. absolutely the nickname the tomorrow tomorrow to maurice speech and

you know once again it was supposed to be tomorrow we seeing this delay of course the very very serious and troubling reasons but i think the prime minister really in this circumstance assert himself for a full release lessons of wide open to the criticism here we saw this speech range from right back last year around gene time it's been put back four times already the various reasons that one point the prime minister having jokes comparing the speech to tantric sex saying if you know me better when it actually comes you know that's not looking particularly funny anymore and people wondering when if indeed it will ever come well everyone was looking for from this speech with clarity leadership over this issue we've been speaking to a lot of the british public over the past few weeks and they're very confused about what cameron stance is on europe and i think david cameron as prime minister he's definitely in a tight spot right now he's he's not looking particularly strong he's not looking

like he's led the way one m.p. i was speaking to said this is why this is the tail that's wagging the dog that this hard call group of euro skeptics within his own party were really dictating the prime minister's actions and so you know he is a lot of trouble here we've seen the speech today once again say the uncertainty continues i'm afraid so thanks for that sort of first reporting live from london. russia as well the currency world war is looming for the global economy the concerns are spot 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 or as you can open a can of worms 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 has been printing blocks for the last five years to support the markets but that also makes the dollar cheaper in washington has been looking over the shoulder and china which was the majority of u.s. foreign debt and reading is also accused of holding back the u. one reason why they do that is the one currency is dropped at 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.
