1:05 pm
a popular protest song about the world bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying well egypt's not going to get but lord if this is the destabilisation that is visiting upon the country but the thing is who can control things in egypt now now that a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting when nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the field has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty off of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that nor can control anything in egypt are currently. france declares it's one the initial offensive against islamists in malim we've got an exclusive one on the collateral damage of the conflict some chilling accounts emerging about the human cost.

america's oil blockade against iran its immersion may have been violated by none other than the u.s. military itself the pentagon has admitted a con to council some of the fuel it brought in for its called gratian in afghanistan it's now suspected that the ranee and petrol made up a significant percentage of imports as artie's then should you can explains. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially spoke to general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in weeks years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it was probably for the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own actions there by letting u.s. taxpayer dollars go to even coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s.
1:07 pm
companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the iranian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allowed where to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from
1:08 pm
iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so for many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else i was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more cash and heading for the stars but lost at sea there's been a rare failure for russia with satellite collaborate as a rocket carrying communications equipment and ditches minutes after takeoff.

1:10 pm
a number of illegal groups ranging from the kurdish separatists to lift just to islamic militants who have launched attacks in recent years in turkey you also have in addition to this violence from syria that continuously spills across the border and in the past artillery from syria has killed turkish civilians what that means is that you have a whole host of groups who could have carried out this attack back in september there was that notorious mission in benghazi in libya where we had four and then we can stop members killed including the american ambassador and then just a few days ago you had britain's foreign office warning of a potential threat against the british embassy in tripoli so what we are witnessing is a chain of events targeting western embassies not least of all the united states that seems to be picking up momentum and it is a reflection of the growing anger against washington and other western countries at a particularly unstable time in the region. professor of
1:11 pm
international relations for bilking jeana versity in turkey says that ankara as foreign policy in the region widely supported by washington could have provoked the attack. the government has been pursuing right wing nationalist groups that are hostile to it but it may have its security made up or taken its eye off the ball the virus radical islamic groups who have been passing through turkey to enter syria i think it's really common for people to stumble up for instance to see people coming from north africa who are parents jihadi types and they then moved down to antioch on the border of syria across so there was danger as we saw in libya that people but the west has supported as opponents of the dictator there against can however decide that they can open fire on the western sponsors or at least one western sympathizers as happened in the american consulate in benghazi in september it is not impossible that such groups have targeted the us embassy in
1:12 pm
ankara i suppose if for the sake of argument the perpetrator could be linked to a state from say iran or syria itself then it is possible that it could be argued that it was only a state sponsors attack an invasion of turkish territory turkey is a nato member its allies should in some sense come to say i suspect the more likely response is obviously going to be an intensified security suite an investigation of how this happened who may have assisted the suicide bomber it's unlikely that it was a solo person. but of course it could contribute to the international tensions but it could of course turn out to be somebody who has a grievance against united states more from an angle that we're not looking at from some other subsection of the population or from some of these maybe twenty to marseilles. sexual abuse harassment and a loss of faith the german catholic church later we investigate how much money and destroyed evidence helps preserve accused of serious crimes escape trial it's often a break.

has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing operations around the day. you're watching our t.v. it's not so great to be in britain that's the idea some u.k. politicians want to promote to potential european migrants they feel a huge influx for some e.u. states that are now allowed to live anywhere in the block. takes up the story. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past you see back in two thousand and four the previous labor government got it really wrong they got the figures so wrong about the number of
1:15 pm
poles that were coming over to potentially live in england they suggested that there would be something around fifteen thousand polish citizens coming over to the u.k. lo and behold less than a decade later the polish community in the u.k. is one of the biggest communities and polish is the second language spoken in england and wales the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's
1:16 pm
been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of looking at the same time but quite so. scathing about the country and we also took to the streets of london to find out what ordinary londoners think about the situation let's take a lesson is that it's pathetic it's mixed messages it is hypocrisy in the day i think a waste of time. actually. seems like the reports are just. don't really have
1:17 pm
a job i'm not home for me telly. at the moment leave here everything too much expense to westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. as you saw there feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. france's president francois landers planning a trip to mali to survey what's being hailed as a successful military intervention against islamists the french acknowledged however that the operation is now entering a tricky phase which is likely to involve guerrilla tactics from the extremists observers say the three week long fighting has spread more havoc across the country with civilians paying a bloody price for it we've got the story of one of the victims brought to us exclusively by local journalists are going to launch. grosser that out of one of us

as betty ellis the war became a real nightmare for the people of this small city and they say google region was one of the first places bombed by french warplanes before more jihadists arrived sweeping south towards the capital bamako the french intervention left a pile of debris and ashes that's just the visible traces of the war they left it civilians who were left with the scars that will last a lifetime one family paid a deep price for this conflict against the islamist terrorists one of the family sons was killed by a jihadist soldier inside his own home. later when mom one brother was attacked by a group of militants the rich children among them he started running and got back into our house but they followed him one of the children fired at him but minutes and then another insurgent shot him inside the house my brother fell and was riddled with bullets we laid his body in the house we couldn't bury him because we
1:19 pm
were afraid to go outside. this is just one example of the terror that the conflict is putting mali and civilians through plague and the weakest the most no one was surprised when india bali once jihadist troops arrived it was discovered that the majority of the military were heavily armed child soldiers. we discuss a upcoming visit of president francois hollande to mali with strasburg based journalist an expert on france a robert harness who believes that the trip is all about political grandstanding. he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically it certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there are now british troops coming in a thousand african troops it's not going to be further and i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian from to go too closely because algeria and
1:20 pm
france as you know have a long history with. a bitter civil war i think this may well be the last chance for all the house to claim victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation and i think that's probably the main reason. there's more news for you online including torture executive executions and a tasteful covering it all up is of the reason why one cia whistleblower turned to gaze the agency and gone thirty months in jail had to r.t. dot com his revelations. and of find out all about a world war two era says the city that exists only for six days a yeah we've got all the details about the russian atlantis and i t.v. dot com. iraq and with communications equipment on board has strayed off course and plunge

the catholic church in germany is facing a crisis attendances dropped significantly over the past few years according to the central committee of german catholics one hundred eighty thousand parishioners stopped going to mass in twenty ten alone many citing church hierarchy unwillingness to do enough about claims of abuse like the ones made by wilfred the priest at the center of this particular scandal is now being moved to a different parish while this church where its alleged abuses took place remains closed to worshippers but just how difficult is it to bring a criminal prosecution in cases like this if those people go to court now it's very difficult to get to a sentence because the witnesses sometimes died in between the memory has got lost and so those attempts to get to have a trial usually fail christine pfeiffer had been in charge of an extensive study
