and china has gone digital and the western superpower isn't feeling confident key intelligence figures think america is already losing a major cyber war after accusing hacking into washington security we're in a fortnight now reports. in january it was my pleasure to welcome president hu to the white house washington and beijing were the a list couple of geopolitics the positive constructive cooperative u.s. china relationship is good for the united states in february america's feelings are fleeting china unleashing its full spy power let's return to the alleged link between china's military and a prolific hacking group most cyber attacks are being carried out by teams inside the chinese military china is officially out of control because don't look now but prove today our sugar daddy is a thief beijing became an overnight security threat last week after the american

information security firm mandiant identified a secretive chinese military unit as the likely source of hacking against u.s. corporations a charge 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 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 that together with israel to to cripple certain iranian technology capabilities in two thousand and ten a computer virus known as stuxnet 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 be is the next major war will include is cyber component it will just be a traditional insurgency bombing from where the central ground troops the next floor almost 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.

and china over a virtual espionage can resemble the law. stalemate that took place at the soviet union during the cold war. archie new york. oh nancy they are calling for you you can have your say and express your opinion on what's going on between the u.s. and china in our online poll and let's now have a look at how you've been getting is so far so here we go more than fifty sixty percent of you so think that this is all part of obama's p.r. campaign a bit more than fifteen percent of you believe these so-called scandal is all about . almost the same number of you said ten percent think this is a glimpse of the next war and finally just six percent see this as a warning to china so do head to our to have home and have your say there. thank you my. god.

my. is the second and final day of voting in italy in a parliamentary compay no fault with base electric and tough questions about austerity yesterday so most major policy made this cause that balance with the voter experience condo survive us to be about this company targeted by protesters so top list felon actually crashed his photo but you say chanting and not with postponing before being sworn in by police and escorted out of the strong functions include the democrats and in you on toast already part of fronted by a firebrand blogger and form a comedian going to school reports now on a vote at the shaping of internet speech or you will start to see the streets of rome aligned with posters from various political parties and candidates all smiles

and bright colors offering the best future possible for italian voters. that. it seems like he was my thank. you very much. thank you it's not was he was thank the program loz 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 on my book you don't feel protected by the state i want to state that is visible there is no stake in this country not just the best received blows that has replaced democracy there isn't anything left him. among the crowds disillusioned with italy's politics is down nearly alice he started small by

successfully challenging politicians in his small hometown in the south like many talents he does not trust the current political system would be a lot easier. if there was a bigger. piece. of that. 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 it speaks clearly and they say it's one of the main thing to say so they have to go or home all home. they're finished and this right because the the political class has lost in the in the 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 euros a year by some estimates and declaring wealth divide between various a tally and regions basically it is huge a 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 a 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. the welting officially closed at fourteen hundred g.m.t. today with exit polls made available shortly after but already a political analyst and a soundtrack pointed to doubts any of the kind that is well done able in their promise to reign in into his finances 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 the moment he 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 you get in it gets in parliament and it's not just italian politics it will 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 parliamentarian's but they have really to study very hard and very fast to come up with something credible. chancellor angela merkel brings new

hope to turkey germany calls for restarting still talks on korea's ascension to the despite serious human rights and economic concerns well that's coming out. and america's new foreign secretary is on his fast foreign toward syria and iran are among the main topics but no significant announcements are in store just a few minutes ago to opinion why he's being so cautious. in the latest attempts to find a breakthrough in syria's painful civil conflict the country's foreign minister is to hold negotiations haid moscow the peace process has suffered a new blows after the western backed opposition was drawn from all international talks complaining of a lack of pressure on the assad regime. brings us the details in all this is it comes amid widespread uncertainty over whether or not the syrian opposition will agree to hold talks with the syrian government since saddam aska says it's ready

for dialogue and the last week there would be improved so that the rebels would do the same since for the first time their leader said that the region 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 of husing worship supporting president assad despite moscow's past and criticism of the soon afterwards for the use of disproportionate force words of the rebels have also rejected an invitation to come to washington and said that they are not going to take part in the upcoming. meeting of the group of friends of syria due to take place in rome when it comes to moscow their refusal to come is 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 rub. or say that all this is in protest for

the lack of an international reaction to what they say are atrocities committed by syria in our forty's and washington has called on the rebels to change their mind openly promising support despite russia's calls for all outside where to apply equal pressure on the two sides of the conflict but many analysts are warning that the west control there is over the situation and these are signs of a divide between the rebels and their outside borders the more the chances of the situation becoming even worse and syrian pro-reform. what cap says once in power 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 is 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 the also 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 they choose to get out of this sort of the international the friends of syria meeting then the western communities really would have no leverage whatsoever in the syrian crisis. u.s. special forces that kicks out of a crucial afghan province that should vote on the locals as a big threatens to be the key area next to kabul without protection that story is coming up after this break.

you watching all she is good to have you with us let's move on now the new appointed u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in london on his first official foreign toll after making top officials that he will head to lynn altogether the trip will include nine states checking on america's nato allies as well as its key friends in the middle east or is expected to talk about iran's nuclear the french intervention in mali and the civil war in syria and italy will meet members of the syrian opposition and the allies however he has said they swim mostly be a listening tour and no significant change in america stance is expected how about this might mean that washington just wants to shift the burden of foreign wars to its nato allies. but on american foreign policy. it's always been very

important for the americans to keep the nato alliance together but they always want to keep it together on their own terms it's always been that senior come out of the story nato is from the. american armed forces and what the americans do want to do is to shift the burden of all military intervention on to the european powers but the key 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 to take on 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's found thousands of tons worth of uranium reserves on it says it will use them to expound its nuclear

pan adeline according behold the unforgivable that's one else to write such a political analyst and journalist that because of the economic situation they take their citizens without any design to enter them. we have to see that european union is no democratic pro chafed its political approach a sort of ideological approach because when you ask the people in germany if they wanted to have the euro for example fifteen years ago that huge majority of the people who were against getting that europe ask the people if they want to send troops to the turkish syrian border they say no the european union is a construct without any democratic base it's an ideological base and so maybe hopefully we can hope for for the turkish people that they will have the right to take part in the referendum of oh to took a turkish new membership because i can imagine that for the turkish citizen to see

afghanistan's president hamid karzai has ordered u.s. special forces out of a crucial province the americans were doing so they torture and murder of local villagers an area seen as vital for defending the capital kabul the move comes as nato prepares to hand responsibility for security to local forces by twenty fourteen and politics professor patricia de janeiro says afghanistan will struggle on its. the wardak province is you know the family is strong the place isn't volatile and i think they're kind of tired as well as most afghans having u.s. forces going in that people's houses that are and comment cards like president karzai needs to take care of his own situation but seeds definitely president karzai is trying to make a statement and our fact they haven't come to an agreement yet they you know there

is there's still a little i'm sure power play going on between the u.s. and the president as to who's going to stay who's going to be in charge you know what kind of numbers they want and how they're going to work but absolutely you know an afghan leader is going to have to show that he has a little bit more support throughout the nation and then just his region within the south there. and up next here and i'll see the latest edition of consult with baseball about. there's an old urban legend that says that the u.s. already stopped using circular targets for rifle practice because the soldiers would be hesitant to shoot people on the battlefield the logic is that if you practice shooting something that looks like an enemy soldier you'll be desensitized

about killing real enemy soldiers so again the logic is to practice shooting at what you want to kill so you won't hesitate and speaking of not hesitating the law enforcement targets incorporated has created a special line of paper targets for police called new more hesitation so it's on these targets well maybe mexican drug cartel members or l.a. street gangs nope children and pregnant women yeah law enforcement targets offers a product to desensitize police from hesitating to blow away women carrying the unborn and innocent children and you know it's even sicker than that i bet law enforcement agencies are probably buying these things up by the thousands but i just my opinion.
