information security firm mandiant identified a secretive chinese military unit as the likely source of hacking against u.s. corporations are charged china vehemently denies. however as the u.s. refocuses its military might from the middle east to china's backyard critics say it's no coincidence that beijing is suddenly morphing into america's virtual al-qaeda i think this is part of what obama calls the asian habit which is really a china and this cyber thing is is fits right into that pattern i think what we're looking at is art of this obama pivot to focus on china and to paint china is the new military threat to the world it's a demonization trying to earlier this month u.s. president barack obama signed an executive order aimed at strengthening america's cyber defenses when you know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate

private e-mails we know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets . now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid our financial institutions our traffic control systems we cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our comp but according to reports washington is all too familiar with the offensive side of cyber war it's the u.s. who launches things like stuxnet together with israel to to cripple certain iranian technology capabilities in two thousand and ten a computer virus known as stock snap infected tehran's enrichment facilities destroying nearly one thousand of iran's six thousand centrifuges according to reports the virus made entirely out of code was a joint collaboration between the us and israel in terms of a pandora's box i think it will be slightly harder for the united states to adopt

a position of purely defensive we've sort of made it clear that we're willing to use cyber in advance of our national interest while reports about china's a legit cyber attacks have dominated u.s. mainstream media much less is being said about the pentagon's decision to double down on its cyber war workforce expanding from nine hundred to more than forty five hundred employees experts say the move is indicative of washington's evolving military strategy every commander. is going to the next major war will include is cyber component it won't just be a traditional insurgency a body of their craft a center a ground troops the next floor all certainly will include a cyber component and the edge of cyber war france could become foes by the click of a mouse and some say in a very short time relations between the u.s.

future possible for italian voters. that i could feel like i was becoming was because i was. thirteen i think it's not because i was so thank the program low is not the leader but the face of a movement whose plan is simple to do away with the politics that italy has been used to for the past couple of decades and bring about a new type of rule the number said by my part i don't feel protected by the state i want to state that is visible there is no more state in this country just the bureaucracy of laws that has replaced democracy there isn't anything left among the crowds disillusioned with italy's politics is done nearly alice she started small

by successfully challenging politicians in his small hometown in the south like many talents he does not trust the current political system the phillies although you feel i believe that. there will be a vote was ok if you're going to be that way but you just leave it. of the oh but it is time for a change at least one hundred thousand people showed up to support group movement in the center of rome the biggest political gathering in half a century people say popular because this speaks clearly and this is one of the main thing to say is they have to go. home go home. they're finished this right because the the political class has lost in the in influence on the larger part of the population especially young people the crisis we have a political class absolutely unable to cope with the situation and the situation is

a desperate one the longest recession in twenty years more than one third of the country's youth are without a job corruption that feeds organized crime and manages to siphon off as much as sixty billion euro a year by some estimates and declaring wealth divide between various a tally and regions basically italy's huge or parliament will have a mouthful to chew to avoid choking on the problems which have accumulated over the years perhaps doing away with the old men in suits no matter how respectable they may appear in favor of foul mouth but seemingly honest comedian may be just the thing to put an end to italy's political drama in rome it in a ghost. so they were getting officially closes at fourteen hundred g.m.t. today with end of calls made available shortly after but already political analyst and sandro police say downs any of the candidates will deliver on their promise to rein in his finances. well the problem of your is not the problem of public debts

this is a financial assault that has been concerted by private entities to milk money from the eurozone that said of course berlusconi is not really the best choice to to drive around these difficult obstacles and it wasn't really so much better despite being well connected with the financial world has a wonderful work. but very little content and this is a bit worrying because as soon as he gets in it gets in parliament and it's not just italian politics who make politics in the world and frankly for the moment they don't feel he is really well equipped i hope he will make up because anyhow he will come up with a sizable number of elements to this but they have really to study very hard and very fast to come up with something credible. chancellor merkel brings new hope to

turkey germany calls for a response to staunch talks on un cora's ascension to the e.u. despite serious human rights and economic concerns all that coming up for you. and america's new foreign secretary is on his first foreign towards syria and iran are among the main topics but no significant announcements are in store in a few minutes with good opinion on why he's being so cautious. in the latest attempts to find a breakthrough in syria's painful civil conflicts the country's foreign minister to hold negotiations in moscow the peace process has suffered a new blow zero after the west and opposition withdrew from all international talks complaining of a lack of pressure on the assad regime and. is here with us from central moscow hugo nice to see you so what's the significance of this visit is giving the ongoing

diplomatic standoff that. well this is it comes amid widespread uncertainty over whether or not the syrian opposition will agree to hold talks with the syrian government since a democrat says it's ready for dialogue and the last week there were dim coax that the rebels would do the same since for the first time their leader said that they were ready to negotiate with the syrian government but now it seems that the opposition has returned to its traditional line and even went a bit further since it refused coming to moscow for talks accusing russia of supporting president assad despite moscow's constant criticism of the syrian authorities for the use of disproportionate force but the rebels have also rejected an invitation to come to washington and said that they are not going to take part in the upcoming so-called meeting of the group of friends of syria due to take place in rome now when it comes to moscow their refusal to come. for talks was more

or less foreseeable but it was a total surprise when it came to the friends of syria group which was initially formed to support the opposition the rebels say that all this is in protest for the lack of an international reaction to what they say are atrocities committed by syrian authorities washington has called on the rebels to change their mind openly promising support despite russia's calls for all outside players to apply equal pressure on the two sides of the conflict but many analysts warn that the last control there is over the situation and these are signs of a divide between the rebels and their outside its borders the more the chances of the situation becoming even worse. now right artie the ego is going on as following is a very significant talks and of course he'll be updating us later on in the day all

right thank you very much igor now is a syrian pro-reform activist says western powers could be losing their grip on the rebels who are pursuing their own goals and they do not want to have any dialogue with the syrian government because all their strategy based in a sense on the syrian government falling and them coming as a substitute they do not have a lot of quality on the ground we also know that it is for the rebels rather than the political elite that are called the national council which recently the national commission so all they are interested in is for the government to fall they know that the western societies of western countries have invested a lot in them both in money and time and so on in organizing them and they think that they could probably make a stand here with regards to what they see is the policy this is a bit funny because now if the choose to get out of this sort of international

friends of syria meeting then the western community is really would have no leverage whatsoever in the syrian crisis. u.s. special forces kicks out of a crucial i'm going to province that alleged involvement in the torture and murder of locals has sparked outrage on threatens to leave a key area next to kabul without protection. that report coming up later but now the new point in the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in london on his first official foreign tour of some meeting top officials there he will head to the living altogether the trip will include nine states checking on america's nato allies as well as its key friends in the middle east kerry is expected to talk about iran's nuclear program the french intervention in mali and the civil war in syria and italy will meet with members of the syrian opposition and their allies however he has said this would mostly be a listening tour and no significant change in america stance is expected however

this might mean that washington just wants to shift the burden of foreign wars to its nato allies says john ruiz an expert on american foreign policy it's always been very important for the americans to keep the nato alliance together but they always wanted to keep it together on their own terms it's always been the case for instance that the senior commanding officer in nato is from the american armed forces what the americans constantly want to do is to shift the burden of military intervention on to the europeans hard for to keep political control over the process and i think that we've seen that a number of times recently especially since the american focus is now beginning to shift towards the pacific to deal with the rising threat of china we are going to the europeans now have. a greater share of burden in respect of policing the arab world and north africa what we're seeing here is an attempt to convince the nato allies that they should pay more but have no more influence. iran has announced it
