kidnappings ransom in your id and terrorism that's only a glimpse into the internet to find. greece's labor ministry headquarters turns into a battleground as hundreds of protesters broke with police and imminent pension cuts. international news and comment twenty four hours a day this is r.t. syrian military officials claim israeli jets have carried out a deadly bombing raids destroying a military research center near damascus and these two people have died in the attack and five more been wounded. the latest now. the syrian army has said that israeli jets crossed into syria below the radar level at dawn on wednesday and hit

a military research center in general near the capital city of damascus now according to the military they carried out an i'm quoting an act of aggression bombarding the site causing large scale material damage as well as destroying the building and that was a statement that was quoted on syrian state television the military also added that two sites workers were killed in the strike now earlier there were reports that israeli planes had struck a convoy carrying weapons from syria to lebanon the information actually came from the united states as well as regional officials but these reports were later denied by syria the syrian opposition chief was outed for the first time has said that he will have talks with the syrian regime under the syrian president bashar assad not in the past he has said that he will not have talks and that any kind of circumstances whatsoever but he is giving preconditions around the statement he has said that they leads to be the release of one hundred and sixty thousand prisoners

now it is quite clear that assad will not do this what is not clear is where this figure all happen driven sixty thousand indeed comes from the announcement comes amid international warnings that syria right forward into the hands of radical islamists if indeed no solution is found so we are hearing reports from the international community that the country is falling apart and certainly we're hearing reports that it looks like a star is not going anywhere we've heard from the u.n. arab league mediator left brahimi who told the united nations security council that assad may be able to hold on to power for now and he has warned that syria is breaking up before everyone's eyes he admitted that there was no progress in efforts to establish its political transition. well as they are reporting them well they're following developments self that bombing and actually carried out by israel in syria and i am a i think he way editor of pan african news weiss says he asked trike it's all part of a plan to bring down the syrian government. it's quite interesting that the israeli

government as well as the united states has not officially responded to this provocation against syria saying it is inevitably a situation in which they are opening up a nother front in the war against the government of by bashar al assad is part and parcel of a broader strategy part of that strategy of course has been a deployment of patriot missiles in turkey which is also a nato country on the border with syria and then of course with the airstrikes this is designed to create a sense of encircled that in regard to the syrian government i think that the syrian government and those who are want are seeking a negotiated and political settlement to this crisis you know very well that this is only designed to weaken the syrian government and that it will not be successful because in the long term on the ground the syrian government has maintained the military initiative against the various a rebel organizations who have been funded

now for nearly two years to work havoc inside the country in an attempt to overthrow the government of bashar al assad. well the turmoil in egypt now where calls for unity have failed to make a breakthrough to present some adversity with jackson opposition proposal for a unity government and violence in the country continuing to rage more on that in a few minutes time. he rights groups and independent activists are raising the alarm over the rising number of atrocities and literally committed by the modern army as well as civilian deaths caused by the french military government forces are accused of multiple executions without trial or due process reports are emerging of fatal french air strikes france launched its combat mission in mali almost three weeks ago under the banner of rooting out the islamic insurgency in the north west african state lever news international consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament says investigations and criminal

procedures are unlikely to happen. what i hear now is how this surprises me i mean first of all the mali an army does hold a grudge against the people who asked them from the northern part of the country and secondly the soldiers very low paid and have very little armaments and such as a they're not really a regular army in that sense there's only. hardly a state apparatus functioning how can you rejected people and examine what they do you can't you just ground in a country like that so the only thing you can do correctly is if you think people might be terrorist is hold them and arrest them and detain them but you certainly are doing this kind of action judicial executions but eternally surprises me that this is going on right now this country needs support yes this country needs our well why is it that this help only comes in the form of military invasions that's

a basic question usually we should ask ourselves. well still to come here a case of sexual abuse against a russian child services authorities in moscow justice public anger over the internet to ban all american adoptions are still runs high. density theft cyber hostages online terrorism that's not the plot of a new science fiction blockbuster but a forecast given by the chairman of google eric schmidt's have warned that our virtual lives of becoming just as valuable as our real ones. explains. the image of a human future liberated by technology and hunger teleportation and so on just got a reality those from a guy who knows eric schmidt who is worth one point five billion dollars and the chairman of google voice his views on in the internet and the dangers that lurk within it warned that as technology becomes cheaper and easier to use cyber

terrorists could use the web to run a drone war a century or nerd in california could fly a drone strike a target in a remote part of the world in fact schmidt says hackers will be known as cyber terrorists could well become the targets of the same drones but it's not only about potential terrorists states and governments can use cyber technology to isolate and distort the lives and appearance of their critics call this online ethnic cleansing moreover a cyber identities that your online avatar and social networks could be taken hostage for ransom actually they are already cases of hackers remotely blocking personal computers and demanding cash stolen or fic cyber identities me soon also form a global black market where users will be able to buy an identity the always dreamed of in real life schmidt also pointed to the record so much of our lives are stored on servers now any past mistakes will be there for all the world to see typically at the worst possible moment when you're applying for that job mortgage making the

all crashes a broken out in athens with police using tear gas to disperse protesters who had broken into the greek labor minister's office demonstrators were venting their anger over fresh pay and pension cuts were part of the government's austerity drive lawyer george says this kind of crackdown on protesters is part of a new approach. the government has decided to follow up one of the seals see that the evidence as it sais i did is that that is distance to the state to measure us so we have deemed the government to take in medicine measures but they are of course the deuce another i guess the very center psychs and now we have seen toward their economies very violently against a generally peaceful and calm do mostly see where only seeing their last three or four weeks i complain of propaganda try to convince us that's now their words has become this that is what i don't believe that this is that is exactly because we

you're still with r.t. live from moscow now egypt's president mohamed morsi has dismissed opposition calls for unity government aimed at ending chaos in the country announcement came during mercy's visit to berlin where he's attempting to negotiate a partnership agreement with german chancellor angela merkel he planned to visit paris next but decided to head back home instead of violent protests in egypt have been ongoing almost a week or so to more than fifty deaths as is have been calling for an end to mercy's room clashing with police and troops and defying emergency ignore. the faulty service on its reduce curfew hours of three sue is now city's going journalist while eskandar says merci hopes to gain outside support to validate his crap so she. is going to the europe trip to secure funds perhaps for for egypt but what will he do with these funds when he's very hesitant and

they you know he cannot even run his country how did morsi left at a time when the police were exercising extreme brutality with a lot of people killed in. the way and him imposing the emergency law which he promised he would never would. so so it's actually has been present and i think he's just trying to secure an international relationship so that he can oppress the people you know back in his country. hopes of a timely closure of guantanamo bay have dimmed further with a man tasked with resettling inmates and shutting down the u.s. detention center in cuba now transferred elsewhere the white house has so far not assigned a replacement daniel fried was picked for the job in two thousand and nine by president of allah with valor to shut down a tourist prison freed worked to convince other nations to take those gone time

inmates considered to be low risk the new laws complicated the repatriation of detainees one of the almost eight hundred inmates that have passed through and time ago only nine have had charges brought against them including the five nine eleven suspects currently facing pretrial hearings i mean one investigations into america's secret prisons abroad are making little headway a years long probe into covert cia jails in poland in particular has left investigators frustrated with washington not volunteering much help as our teaser into the school reports even if the details were forthcoming justice might not be. guantanamo may hold all the headlines but all the interested it means people are moving their focus elsewhere so-called black side secret prisons were established by the cia during its well publicized war on terror unlike the calls however these secret facilities were never publicly discussed by the authorities the us claimed

they could hold prisoners outside the us because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions and to international law and humanitarian law reports suggest such prisons were in existence from two thousand and two basically not long after the events of nine eleven the us government denied the existence of these prisons until two thousand and six now the only country in europe which has acknowledged the presence of a secret cia facility on its territory is lithuania and if you were to look at it you will you will see something almost a deliberate site except for the imposing fences surrounding it likewise a suspected secret prison poland is believed to be located here apparently in one of the most beautiful spots in the country according to various reports mostly from journalists or human rights organizations so-called high value detainees were flown in by the cia for interrogation at these polish facilities. i managed to get records from the airport where it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used

by the cia. very important evidence because until then everyone denied. and reported different destinations of these flights to your control however just like their american counterparts the authorities in warsaw have been extremely frugal with the details and investigation into the secret prisons has been dragging on for almost five years now but what earth during its course remains unknown one man who has been charged with involvement is poland's former chief of intelligence and security is big news tonight koskie the first high profile official of any nation to be prosecuted over. the issue was investigators have only one response to all questions concerning their investigation all the information has been classified as it involves state secrets which of course they're not allowed to divulge on top of that since the case directly involves u.s. officials one would imagine warsaw and washington working very closely together yet

people who are privy to the investigation say this is definitely not the case the united states or thirty's have not helped the investigation in any way in fact i can say they obstructed the investigation by invoking in my opinion an absolutely bad. article three of the mutual legal assistance treaty between poland and the united states. they've refused to produce any information requested by the prosecutors therefore the extent of the investigations progress just like any information about the torture of prisoners regarding who watch where when and how all of it remains a mystery and the investigation is rumored to conclude next month by the looks of it whatever its outcome it may also be a state secrets and swept under the carpet. the country away from. the.

prohibited. from adopting russian children continues to cause heated debate. authorities in. a criminal investigation into allegations. the increasing number of news of inhumane treatment of russian children adopted by americans is alarming to say the least but what's worse is that the russians can hardly do anything about it from here from across the atlantic and all russian investigators could do is launch a criminal probe here locally common sense says it will not affect the alleged

child rapist at all forty two russian investigators the family that sexually abused him had already been convicted by u.s. courts earlier for acts of abuse against moxy now mind you the word sexual never came up and they only got probation that signed russian diplomats are unable to be of any use to kids in such cases which earlier prompted russia and to. live a law and that law prohibits americans from adopting russian kids altogether now live was an adopted child from russia and that he was left by his american parents locked in a car and that he eventually died from suffocation now when the law was passed it prompted huge debates both here and in the united states whether the would benefit from such restrictions while the local authorities in the united states seem

indifferent to the fate of little kids adults of from here in russia. for more on how that story has been developing as well as expert opinion from both russia and the u.s. at r.t. dot com. about carriers government is expected to use its dominant position in parliament to keep in force a decision not to build a new nuclear power plant because struction earlier received sixty percent backing in a referendum but the turnout was a mere twenty percent some analysts believe that losing nuclear power would lead to disaster and the question was put through to vaguely no one explained to the average voter the particulars of nuclear energy bulgari keeps using only the to react is that it already has it will soon find itself out of power as their service time is running out alternative sources of power have proven to be too expensive

we've lost out on a lot of economic assets over the past year is losing nuclear energy would turn us into a third world state completely a couple of international headlines for you now the south the us economy strong for the first time in three years according to an initial estimate for the fourth quarter of twenty twelve it's fair the contraction could force washington into belt tightening american citizens have been under financial uncertainty since the beginning of twenty thirteen the fiscal cliff first sparking concerns of higher taxes a last minute deal between the white house and congress of verted major tax hikes and spending cuts. seven members of a rescue operation have themselves been killed while saving six trapped miners in northeast china it's believed that carbon monoxide was the cause of the deaths chinese mining facilities have a poor safety record with dozens of employees losing their lives at work each year

. it's a painful anniversary for the u.k. as it marks forty one years since british soldiers shot unarmed protesters in northern ireland fourteen people were killed on what became known as bloody sunday it stirred up nationalist tension for years as r.t. sarah firth reports the deep divisions still remain. so far i am still there walking the pavement and i can drink in the look the smell sound and smiles of the street i'm sharing joy and pride and progress and pain this is the story of life living and working in a loyalist community that was such a narrative of violence and dysfunctional relationship every level of the community politically in the community leaders as well as in their homes and their families written by a former youth worker harriet long's writing struck a chord with many trying to make sense of the recent rising on the surface and the

latest trouble was with the decision to limit the number of days the union flag would fly from belfast city hall in northern ireland and the flag has an important political and cultural meaning a reminder for loyalists that the province is part of the u.k. but also that it must remain say the catholics though a reminder of a less equal past youth worker mark davies tells me that despite this new young generation having been brought up in peace times social issues have made it easy to fall back on old narrative. they are generation. who have grown up in peace times but that doesn't mean that the tensions on the issues are deep seated within their families or within this community having gone away with the reason rising political divisions to have once again become apparent we have to also oust the two unionist party p.

and pay for their action of distributing forty thousand leaflet to inflame the situation to whip up tension in loyalists areas very emotive language the leaflets i was referring to by no means a cause of the riots but only example of the war of words. many feel contributed to an already volatile situation. is this leave the us a lot of the homes do you accept that there is a responsibility that the d.v.d. had been contributed to what we've seen play out on the street no one the letter that leaflet wasn't and we should be careful here you think that the majority know we asked the question read the leaflet the leaflet osteo advance of the vote to contact the alliance party and ask them to change their mind it's very difficult to tell a trial not to hit somebody when you know maybe in their community their leaders

are using violence to keep control and but that politicians and maybe aren't using violence but they're using violent or they're using words that are on help with calm having returned to northern ireland the time being wasted now in agreement that the peace process here needs to evolve. in seeking so with the political level there were many things needed now is a solution that works at a grass roots level amongst the the meanest. thing to me ha that's a followings so. we're coming up after the break it spotlights with hosts are going off stay with us.

you know i can kind of sort of understand the mindset of an evil dictator trouble understanding what is going on or maybe not going on in the minds of the terrified cogs who believe all the propaganda give up all their rights for the lucian of safety to coach or seinfeld who are. these people well maybe some of them may be working at your local school braindead bureaucracy zombies at a pennsylvania school suspended a kindergartner note kindergartner as a terrorist threat because she threatened to shoot another student with a gun that shoots soap bubbles i guess this was all a mix up because the girl she wanted to shoot didn't understand that it was in reference to bubbles and not bullets children in kindergarten can often misunderstand things but the administration of the school seems to be no smarter than six year olds immediately going into total panic mode guess what this is hardly the first time that something like this has happened remember the kid who pointed a piece of chicken at

a teacher and said bang the thing is that the real terrorism of the event is that the mental sleeves of fear propaganda that work at these schools are raising a generation of children to be just like the somebody shoot me with a bubble gun that's just my opinion. and welcome to spotlight the interview show on r t i well they're not mad my guest on the program today is caught on the fruits.
