oh dear it sets out security along mollies border to count up insurgents as papered as more reports of civilian casualties from the french military intervention imad. aspiring diplomats are paying out the plum postings within the obama administration according to a u.s. report examining the president. and israel because it is building a buffer zone stretching find a syrian territory but denies accusations that sending in troops and tanks constitutes an basic.

hello welcome this is r.c. coming to you live from moscow i'm here national. french jets are still pounding rebel bases in remote areas of northern mali trying to cut off supply routes for islamist militants algeria has also increased security along its border with mali to prevent insurgents from crossing it some reports suggest the french led campaign has caused a number of civilian casualties. and now bring you an account of a journalist who is seeing the realities of the vote on country fast and. francois hollande victorias trip to timbuktu marked the declaration that three major cities in northern mali have been declared liberated from rebel although the sharia law and islamic extremism of the rebels and forced will not soon be forgotten nevertheless this victory is a partial one the militants have merely retreated and fled and the suffering in this war has seems disproportionate to the gains made we're learning what happened

in battle day by day in the town of qana we heard stories from the fog of war this small settlement in the mop the region was seized by the more yo tribe they flew. to the north when french troops showed up but it's reported that the cost of that victory was high well french planes killed only two rebels the number of civilian casualties was an estimated fourteen but i wasn't home when the bombing began i started praying when i learned my house was under attack they ruined everything i had my family and my livelihood my wife's name was i mean not her she was forty my son ali was eleven when adam was ten and so you know who was six they all died my son as he called adi the people such as this farmer idris ask themselves if the victory was worth it. we also met the campo family who had suffered badly when the bombing began everyone scatter it in the campo lost two of their saunas unable to

swim they drowned in the river while fleeing the fighting. we also heard the story of a young mother who died from shell splinters leaving three children behind a newborn baby. the village was a complete mess it's impossible to describe how many discuss things i know for sure but i can say that all we had is gone. there's no hue proving some kids came running up to us and said their mother had died i brought them to our house their mother died after an hour of clinging to life the children have nobody else but us screaming as they get out there is a disaster visited every house in the town people reject anything the military claims about victory and say war crimes must be prosecuted under the geneva convention towns like qana want more than just compassion people who suffered at the hands of terrorist groups and drug traffickers are now facing the misery inflicted by warfare about that yesterday without gonzalo one. for our tea.

u.s. vice president joe biden has meanwhile hailed what he called the decisiveness of french president francois hollande in mali america's been providing logistical support for the military campaign and joining auckland of the institute for democracy and cooperation says all i the nation cares about is increasing their influence in africa i think the two main factors in this are france's own desire to strengthen the whole role on the international stage in particular piece of you know european partners and also the american strict future plans for africa it's important to know that america which strongly supports fronts in this mali and intervention has plans for establishing a military presence in the military control over the whole of the african continent some people speculated that used the phrase that this was america leading from behind that america decided to put forward its european allies to do as it were its

dirty work in a continent where china has been establishing an economic presence now very successfully for a large number of years so there is a ground ball for africa isn't there is it just to grab the resources yes it's obvious that the securing of energy resources is one of the key factors behind many if not most political developments today and that's why i say that the of course the issue of hydrocarbons and uranium and other energy sources is a key and may be the decisive factor. coming up later in the poor grow peeping try injured by a so we examined how monarchies in the lower shrink oil rich gulf states are clamping down on both seeking more right. as john kerry begins his term as the new u.s. secretary of state it's been reveals that many of the ambassadors serving under him were major donors to the president's campaign and you report says this year's

competition among the big money back is to land the most sought after diplomatic sports was especially tight on she's been editor count has the details. as you can imagine the competition for diplomatic post is tough especially in safe and wealthy countries somewhere in western europe and asia a recent study by two professors of international relations at pennsylvania state university looked at available information on president obama's donors direct political contributions and the positions that they received and they concluded that those whose political connections to president obama were measured in dollars for the administration service had an increased chance of representing the united states and western europe and a smaller chance of serving in say central asia or sub-saharan africa donors and advisers involved in the diplomatic selection process say the competition this year has been so tight that those who have raised less than a million dollars are for the most part unlikely to be considered so what is the

quote unquote price tag for the highly sought diplomatic posts according to this study friends and monaco topped the list with a level of personal contributions at six point two million dollars quote unquote the price for a position in the u.k. the authors find appears to live between six hundred fifty thousand dollars and two point three million dollars a posting in luxembourg is valued as three point one million dollars and appointment to portugal was predicted to have a value of around six hundred thousand dollars like all modern presidents before him president obama has appointed friends and donors to about thirty percent of diplomatic posts while seventy percent of the posts go to career diplomats so judging by this research career diplomats go to places like yemen while big donors go to monaco nobody of course calls it bribery here and these are just respectable donors who get what they want when they pay the price. israel is considering the

creation of a buffer zone inside syria they could stretch several kilometers into neighboring syria or the israeli military sources this is than not invading a sovereign state israeli's plan to put a number of troops and tanks on foreign soil they stated aim of this only super vent emotion and rocket attacks from inside the war torn country should also stop radical groups coming close to its territory if assad government falls security plans is also being erected along the frontier with syria on the golan heights but many see this as an exploration of syrian territory and dr jamal like things it has very little to do with security. imposing a buffer zone will make israel in the future to. negotiate over withdrawing from this buffer zone rather than withdrawing from the golan heights this is very similar to the attempt of israel in one thousand seven hundred eight to body and impose a buffer zone in south lebanon where it was the same claim that it wanted to defend

it's not the border the objective is to annex more territories under at the same time and to threaten the mask so israel extends its domain by another seventeen kilometers this will make it reach close very close to damascus and this is very dangerous to the stability of the regime and with it will give the insurgents like free zone and free base a secure base to launch attacks against the syrian regime so this is a direct and thank them and of israel. now partly covertly gratian big u.k. lips to put on bold guerin's and romanians so britain considers a negative propaganda campaign against itself to prevent a deluge of newcomers when the e.u. restrictions are removed next year. report is on its way. to also show

force in the east china sea the u.s. and south korea play war games sending warning signals to the nets mills and on us all not coming up after the break. well. it's technology innovation all the moves developments from the round russia we've got this huge earth covered. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today.

this is. going to take three years for charges three. three. three. three. three bomb video for your media projects a free media r t v dot com. this

is on c welcome by now it's cold and wet so you really shouldn't come that's the message the u.k. is sending to fellow e.u. citizens in romania and bulgaria london's looking for ways to count on immigration fearing eastern europeans will fly out of britain when given unrestricted access to the e.u. in twenty fourteen but as he's born a boy car of poles romania has found a way to get even with the here. we'll show many things going for our country the english language testing times a brilliant history very creative people some of the best universities in the world a great place to do business we need to stand up and shout about how great britain

is and get people to come and invest and visit but that's not the message that europe's newest member states will be getting come january twenty fourth teams twenty nine million romanians and bulgarians will be able to live and walk anywhere in europe including britain but the u.k. government is reportedly brainstorming ways to dissuade what's feared could be a flood of eastern european immigrants from coming to britain. one idea and negative advertising campaign where the government would say britain isn't all it's cracked up to be the english somehow imagine that everybody in the world wants to come to england because england is obviously the most finest greatest country for english people it is but they seem to forget that in the case of romania for instance and remain as a beautiful country it's a loving warm exciting country to live in today so when they produce these statistics about thirty million remain and what are the images that everybody is

going to leave and then the last one is to turn out the light and it isn't going to be a single person left and remain it really is nonsensical. as one minister per ticket a negative ad campaign would help to correct the impression that these streets a paved with gold but even considering how to put off would be migrants the british government has managed to offend not one but two whole countries and now one rumania newspaper has decided that rather than getting mad it's going to get even instead. the prime advertising campaign says that since living in the u.k. is no walk in the park brits should move to remain a instead stereotypes about british food women and even the royal family come under fire danger by the british people to come to romania arguing their humor half of our women look like kate and the other half like her sister so this is

a funny campaign what if you can see behind it there's actually a serious message which is that romania have still valuable resources intelligence and humor and britain should take advantage of this next wave of immigrants instead of marking their nevertheless last month the u.k. home secretary said that migration puts downward pressure on wages and has a bad influence on social cohesion and some ministers have suggested limiting remaining in symbolic ariens access to health services and housing when they arrive as you can imagine not all the romanians living in the u.k. are cleaning the toilets some of them are highly qualified even to understudies there so they find this very aggressive and on the senate campaign really whether or not the anti britain campaign will ever make it to a billboard near bucharest is now beside the point the british government has already made the ease newest members feel that little bit less welcome here polly

boy arty london. and online for you this hour our on. website barack obama has been chief the american president can no longer cyber war which a country he was actually with just a push of a button even if there's no concrete evidence of a threat had thought it out hope that the details. for that on line the fifteen pakistan where osama bin laden was killed is to get a running mate but to improve its image go online to dot com to find the former home of the world's most wanted terrorist in mind. people in oil rich gulf states enjoy high standards of living because they're sitting on a treasure chest of natural resources but countries such as bahrain and kuwait haven't been immune to. resorting to harsh quantum dollars against protests and one man in kuwait received attorney had jail time for criticizing the enemy on twitter

for your five year sentence for another month also in the chargers'. exam is now the struggles plaguing the people of the prosperous kingdoms. see. life in the gulf used to look like this. but the black gold hidden beneath these sands transforms the arabian states from inhospitable deserts came storming structures of glass and steel physical testaments to their wealth and power in a wider region known for its tinderbox tensions the gulf monarchies have stood out for their relative stability and for an oil dependent west eager for a military stronghold to counter on the gulf became a strategic a waste of petro dollars have helped to insulate the gulf against economic hardships plaguing other states but not against popular uprisings now the gulf monarchies as a whole have been struggling to stave off the effects of the arab spring with

varying degrees of success kuwait is largely seen as the most tolerant of the gulf countries but the worry is that the trend could be reversed activists say that it already has been. political gatherings of more than twenty people are banned as are political parties and when the last opposition dominated parliament challenge the ruling authorities it was dismissed voting rules were changed to ensure critics say a more compliant parliament speaking out against the system has landed many activists in jail as for those who took to the streets to protest we were beaten up by. the special forces. the sound bombs and but on and after the march whoever is on the street has a just being detained and thrown into jail it's a struggle activists in bahrain are all too familiar with. three days after egypt's former president was ousted from power the protests began in bahrain like the kuwaitis they were demanding an end to the monarchy but more

representation at a violent crackdown saw a shift in some of those demands but there's still you got to stop it is a daily in different areas against the regime against that because of the shit i gainst that the situation. one thousand five hundred prison others we have. every day we have a lot of. security forces some rounding gave us but i think the people like the king and houses as in other gulf states the monarchy blames the unrest on a radical minority they are hardliners they want to see regime change they want to implement their own style of government and impose on the rest of the population of bahrain a system of government that is totally unacceptable these demands called for. a westminster style democracy captain head of style democracy in golf but

critics disagree saying the protesters simply want their governments to listen i want to comes to violent crackdowns he says westminster and capitol hill simply turn a blind eye. we are the victims because we live when they're going through which i've always thought the us and then at the. they don't get aboard the people who don't care about the human and they don't care about the bahraini blood they killed aboard the go you know. whether in bahrain saudi arabia qatar oman or kuwait seems like this one are becoming increasingly more common but nasa shows a week like this one show that the dots will walk alone isn't enough to insulate the countries from people taking to the streets and demanding a greater say in their political system and unless the monarchies show themselves willing to listen their stability may prove to be a mirage you see catherine of r.t.e. kuwait. let's not try some other stories from around the world at least two children have been injured by

lesion we need is going to be taking is maiden voyage over the next couple of weeks that's what's expected now military chiefs has said that the thing billed as the future of the air force but experts have warned that this could open the doors to a whole new type of warfare there's concerns about robo warfare where machines that are able to launch their own attacks could attack humans and of course a lot of control the sea that always surrounds east of drones as well is still there and with the here and now because the controversy surrounding drone warfare has been highlighted recently when the u.n. launched an investigation in to civilian deaths caused by the drones now assisting the u.n. in their research is a team from goldsmiths university of london and i'm joined by one of thirteen now professor. thank you very much for joining us this new technology a lot of talk about a lot of excitement but a huge number of unanswered questions to go along with these developments you're

taking part in this investigation now we haven't even really got questions all to date of the legality of. these attacks and yet we're seeing technology sort of leapfrogging a that the law at this point sure i think that what the fear is is that we're seeing a de facto legislation by practice the modes of warfare actually creating the law for the problem of the law of war is it always legs behind the technologies or for of course technology moves much faster than the laws of war and the technology change the way in which we conduct our wars and especially the kind of a new type of activity we've been seeing in the last decade that is called an extra duty to really cool assassination and of course this is really what your investigations hinge on is gathering the all important data is that absolutely the forensic architecture project at goldsmiths what we look at is the nature of war in

an urban area and the most drone attacks are launched on inhabited areas areas with a lot of civilians with civilians and militant are in town called in the numbers are very difficult to establish because both israel and the united states would consider every man over a certain age sometimes sixteen sometimes eighteen is a militant by definition we know we can is not true the details of that investigation the results are expected towards the end of the year old tabor thank you for joining us today to talk about britain's steep terrain and of course all the unanswered questions that go along with that. the u.s. and south korea are flexing their military muscles in the east china sea and they'd fears north korea is preparing for another nuclear test seoul said they trail's a part of regular military training while pyongyang claims it's a plot to attack it human rights lawyer and co-founder of the national campaign to end the korean war every. washington is making an already inflammatory situation

even worse. it's the worst thing you can do under these circumstances is to inflame volatile situation to conduct these military exercises that always inflame that use live ammunition up and down the border with with north korea this is inflammatory on a lot of levels and we need to step back with these naval exercises it's like a race to the bottom if you will when are we going to get more creative in the way that we resolve conflict in this world this conflict gives us such an opportunity with a new secretary of state new leader in south korea we should be pushing for peace suspend these naval exercises and go from there yes there should be non proliferation of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula but we don't even recognize north korea as a nation have a peace treaty or formal relations to deal with these matters what do we expect. and up next a mock tries and stays ahead it revealed they scandals beyond the financial had
