activist ahmed nagware says the government is heavily influenced by the military. the surface interpretation of what's happening definitely that there are groups who are willing to sabotage anything and try to embarrass the government specifically morsi and the military. on the surface however there are deeper interpretations of what's going on some of the interpretation goes that the military council or the military is behind all of this so that big can have. the grip over this race canal and intensify their presence militarily over there probably we don't want to see an economic development of this specific strategic area because it would hand over to civilian oversight of the canal rather than military oversight of the canal according to doing you constitution there's something called the national defense council this council in most countries and previously had an advisory structure

right now it has more of an executive that has more military members on this board than civilly which numbers the civilians including the commander in chief the president which means they can force the president to take certain decisions which we have just seen in the past couple of days when they had the commander in chief see that he will declare martial law or emergency emergency law in those specific areas. the french box intervention in mali has been marred by a large team rights abuses with activists accusing the joint forces of killing civilians torture and ethnic reprisals by the local army and a genocide envoy says he was deeply disturbed by the reports and else he obtained an exclusive firsthand account from the one family who fell victim to the. grocer that out of one of us as betty ellis the war became a real nightmare for the people of this small city in the segura region it was one

of the first places bombed by french warplanes before more jihadists arrived sweeping south towards the capital by marco 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. my brother was attacked by a group of militants the ridge 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 were afraid to go outside. ever break trust me 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. the french president during his visit to mali said terrorism has been repelled but not wiped out france saw orlanda or a trade had the operation will go on for as long as necessary while calling for elections in mali this july and here is monday from the independent pan-african research when i say shows has the local governments primary goal is to enrich themselves and their back as what this intervention does is strengthen the arm of a group of junior officers who took control of the state and who are just simply. yes i mean the reports we get from mali from bamako it's holies troops just simply control everything they're not interested in any kind of development they're only interested in acquiring wealth for themselves they go in they rob banks complete

impunity they control the economy now with complete impunity they are now the sort of. i guess you know the servants now of world of the french in the u.s. but their real agenda has been to do sell of mali to to the french and to the corporations mollies a place with enormous amount of of all wealth so you're a new book site gold and so on and there's no doubt that french canadian and other interests are clearly interested in occupying that territory in watching on c.n.n. coming up here when just a few minutes. we don't even realize how much of a police state the united states has become a former cia officer who blew the whistle on america's torture program and is now waiting to serve two and a half years in prison tells r.t. why he thinks he's really being knocked out. and greece is labor

ministry headquarters turns into a battleground as hundreds of protesters grew with police over imminent pension cuts as a reporter they said. but now on wednesday news of israel's as strike on syria broke. so much as strikes is quite a big flagrant aggression and a violation of serious forward to mosco said that if that is confirmed it will be an abuse of the u.n. charter serious israeli jets destroyed a miniature research center near damascus killing at least two western diplomats and syrian rebels claim the target was an arms convoy lebanon's border destined for hezbollah militants israel has kept silent about the reports that edge to attack follows multiple failed attempts by rebel groups just stormed the complex and by only as a key way editor pan african newswire said it's all part of a wider plan to bring down the syrian government. well it's quite interesting that

the israeli government as well as the united states has not officially responded to this provocation against syria it is absolutely a situation in which they are opening up the fact in the war against the government of bashar al assad 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 the syrian government has been quite resolute in its campaign against these rebels over the last two years although the rebel organizations many of which are backed that the united states and other nato countries have caused a lot of the. disruption and dislocation inside of syria they have not shaken the result of the syrian government to maintain its position of authority inside the country so this is of course is another effort on the part of the backers of these rebels to further weaken and destabilize the government of damascus. has been

a hindu a breakthrough in efforts to broker announced a serious conflict russia's foreign minister met the needs of the opposition see where a national coalition on the sidelines of a munich security conference both parties agree but as a mountain to climb before negotiations between rebels and the government can happen on his piece on a has the details for us. this is the biggest security conference really in the world and arguably syria is one of the biggest security issues in the world right now sergey lavrov son down for a meeting with more as our who's the leader of the syrian national coalition the foreign minister of russia coming away seemingly quite happy from the meeting he said upon his arrival back in moscow that swell. the syrian national coalition seem to willing to speak with the current syrian government citing the fact that the whole reason that the national coalition exists in the first place is because they

had previously refused to talk to president assad's however sergey lavrov did err on the side of caution saying that there was no guarantees that this dialogue would take place bringing up the point that the coalition is so fragmented he could hardly really agree with themselves never mind sit down to open the gates the ations with the current syrian government syria featured very highly in the address that was given by sergey lavrov to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as a sin called for unity and trying to bring in an end to the violence and bring discussion to the forefront rather than talk of international intervention he did however raise a few questions towards russia's western partners suggesting that was it worth while pursuing their mantra of regime change in countries like syria at the expense of terrorist acts being cast

a blind eye to as those acts take place against the civilian population and the the syrian army we also saw around two thousand people gather elsewhere in munich in protest against what they say is they just continuing growth across europe that was relatively peaceful but it was also a topic that had been touched on by surrogate laughed it off in his address where he said that there was no real need. so to expound in the way that it was in those two thousand or so people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. and on r.t. dot com right now for you iran demonstrates its growing self-reliance rolling out a full design for homemade wine to jets which officials say on designed for defense purposes only and kind of aid raider take a closer glimpse of the website. and also days really soldiers used tear gas and stun grenades against a group of palestinians who are up to the tent camp in protest at settlement expansion in the west bank from all that had to.

that vote authorizing war but. not only. making up the stance of tales about massive biological chemical weapons stockpiles and nuclear program and delivery systems the livery systems like our thing but you know when it was clear that that was all drawn up there had so-called weapons of mass destruction we said you were. in the way because saddam hussein was a terrible danger and we have to pass the of making this kind of weapon sometime to mention of course back right here together we're going to thirty countries will start hearing that i have military. unconventional weapons and kerry was essentially to give me a from certain lie that hey you have a right. to criticize them on you know iraqi was your sash years ago and now in libya we're seeing all those fox appearances i'm very of those two hundred thousand men under arms. and these militias not controlled by the government you

see the false read somalis algeria elsewhere is a single part of short sightedness that we've seen so many other politicians in washington. the first man convicted of the america's prison torture program was waiting to start a turn to hold here a jail sentence but a decorated cia veteran john kiriakou didn't interrogate anyone his crime was to tell the wild about washington and then in secret program in one of his final interviews before being locked away he told us he exactly what he thinks he's being punished for. first of all my case was not about leaking my case was about torture when i blew the whistle on torture in december of two thousand and seven the justice to department here in the united states began investigating me and never stopped investigating me until they were able to patch together. charge and force me into taking a plea agreement and i'll add another thing to when i took the plea in october of

last year the judge said that she thought the plea was was fair and appropriate but once the courtroom was packed full of reporters last friday she decided that it was not long enough and if she had had the ability to she would have given me ten years in this post nine eleven atmosphere that we find ourselves in we have been losing our civil liberties incrementally over the last decade to the point where we don't even realize how much of a police state the united states has become you know ten years ago the thought of the national security agency spying on american citizens and intercepting their emails would have been anathema to americans and now it's just part of normal business. the idea that that our government would be using drone aircraft to assassinate american citizens who have never seen the inside of a courtroom who have never been charged with a crime have not had due process which is their constitutional right would have

been unthinkable and it's something now that happens every every so often every few weeks every few months and there is no public outrage i think this is a very dangerous development. the timely closure of guantanamo bay as promised by president obama four years ago is as far away as ever the montages to with shutting down the detention center has been transferred meanwhile investigations into america's so-called black finds abroad revealed little say so for a few details have been released from a years long program to covert cia jails in poland in particular and there's a report even if box were forthcoming just this might not be. guantanamo may hold all the headlines but all the interested it means people are moving their focus elsewhere so-called black sites secret prisons were established by the cia during its well publicized war on terror unlike the cause however these

secret facilities were never publicly discussed by the authorities the u.s. claimed they could hold prisoners outside the u.s. because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions and international law and humanitarian law reports suggest such prisons were in existence from two thousand to basically not long after the events of nine eleven the u.s. 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 the

records from the airport in germany where it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used by the cia very important evidence because until then everyone denied b.'s landings and reported different destinations of these flights to europe controlled 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 is on earth during its course remains unknown therefore the extent of the investigations progress just like any information about the torture of prisoners regarding who what where when and how all of it remains a mystery and building investigation is rumored to conclude next month by the looks of it whatever its outcome may also be a state secrets and swept under the carpet. let's not trick out some other stories this hour in spain riot police clashed with hundreds of excesses in madrid alfredo

door of their lives blocked very violently against the odds are not only peaceful and calm and the most recent when it seemed the last three or four weeks i completely not go for propaganda try to convince us that now is it worse is becoming that's the reason i don't believe that this is true is exactly because we are following this same set of courses of was thirteen years of us that the fourth leakiest has condemned these last five on a slow death that this recession of the economy going to actually move the economy on a third source or other measures followed by a vote but i do see some of the book really busy and also affect the socialites i think that as fathers are well aware for all these said to a slow for this is there's not cool much. so i had for you getting the same treatment as the treated medical wife bahrain claim they are called from cape town
