a russian delegation and also the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad is here he has said that to voters is a martyr who lost his life serving the venezuelan people and preserving human and revolutionary values now of course chavez and i didn't judge were very close allies and really the relationship was an example of how to have as you use the power of this country which is not to be based on its very large oil reserves to extend solidarity to countries that are targets of saber rattling economic interventions and threats of military aggression by the united states and other western powers now there's also very much a sense of anger amongst many people here at suggestions by some senior western political figures and media figures that somehow chavez's death is of course this. liberate that somehow it's a good thing for the venezuelan people and for the world of course the grief very much continues amongst the people here in caracas who have come to see him elections are held in approximately thirty days time now of course the outcome of
11:05 am
that election is very much unknown but at least amongst the people here very very much determined that maduro must replace chavez with one of the most popular chunks here being with chavez and i do know that people are safe lizzy feelin for r.t. got us well meantime the leader venezuela's opposition in reeky capri liz is accusing would do rule run for chavez's socialist party of politicizing the funeral latin america expert steve ballmer told us to spot the harsh words the opposition is not likely to win the people's trust. the opposition and understands that it will not win elections just on the base of the middle class the opposition has made an effort to appeal to the poor people and the campaign for the presidential elections in october last year the opposition candidate. in the company. wayne to the body spoke to the poor people and that was the main thrust of his
11:06 am
campaign there is a great amount of distrust among the poor people if copy of no matter what the people he says pretty much that deep social programs that were so popular they were so politically successful. will will be abandoned if the opposition return returns to power the keil that is is that what do or don't do not have any trouble with the upcoming presidential elections he is closely associated with chavez you know when she was left venezuela to go to cuba he called on venezuelans and his people in particular to vote for my daughter to support a majority and to elect him president if the situation came to that.

the twenty one u.n. peacekeepers abducted by syrian rebels in the golan heights have been released and handed over to the jordanian authorities now observers were captured by militants on wednesday rescue efforts were hampered by sporadic fighting between syrian troops and rebels despite a fragile temporary ceasefire earlier fighters set their demands for government troops to be drawn from the area as a precondition for the release of the peacekeepers rebel groups also backtracked on claims he used to miss human shields syrian activist danny makki believes the radical factions will drag syria into further chaos as western states boost funding to the opposition and that now the syrian opposition leaders need to really negotiate with the syrian government in order to find a political solution to the ongoing crisis in syria so some of the western countries through the funding and arming the rebels and opposition fighters have essentially act as a bloc block any political solution which could happen in the future where you have william hague who stated that there is a great threat of terrorism threat of jihad is coming back from syria having an
11:08 am
ideology of killing which is going back to britain there is britain which is jihad is the first british jihad he was killed two days ago so there are the rules threat from islamic terrorism coming from syria and he says that we must stop syria from becoming a bad or a kind of hog of terrorism at the same time he claims he wants to arm the syrian opposition he was to give them non-lethal aid so it's a policy of hypocrisy which is filled with a lack of understanding of what is happening within the arab world and within syria so some of the western countries through the funding and arming the rebels and opposition fighters have essentially blocked any political solution which could happen in the future as they have essentially allied themselves with the armed opposition and they're seeking regime change in direct inadvertent way as opposed to a direct libya style intervention. u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel visit to afghanistan from our series of suicide attacks taliban suicide bomber on a bicycle detonated explosives near the country's defense ministry killing at least nine people there. at the time roads around the building located near the
11:09 am
presidential palace of been closed local taliban branch said the attack was intended to send a message to the u.s. defense chief while a children and a police officer were also killed by another suicide attack in the east of the country. says locals fear the situation in the country only get worse. first the taliban will want to send a player message today united states into. defense secretary and that they are able to launch this kind of attacks even in the capital kabul in particular of times disappoint off all security measures have been taken by the afghan and nato forces in the capital secondly i believe that the taliban insisted on the prairie conditions that they are not to ready to negotiate with the government of afghanistan or with the nato forces also with americans. future of afghanistan india will continue to fight against to enter national troops and against afghan
11:10 am
government until all that. foreign troops leave it to counter this is a new wave of of tax from the taliban kabul in their cities and afghanistan is going towards more violence in the next coming months the people of afghanistan has a strong concern that situation will go well will be wars particularly after. two thousand and fourteen when they're all foreign troops leave the country. so led to this divide and ride israel in the future separate bus was called a stint in the west bank sparking accusations of them segregation on a bus find more and also coming up to action than the four bit we're reporting tonight on the collision between a russian spacecraft and some chinese space junk discuss just how and it will all just like that could take a big consequences so after the break. did
11:11 am
any of you see darth vader and storm troopers trying to make their way into the ukrainian justice ministry as part of a protest well probably a lot of you saw this fun viral video but how many people remember what exactly they wanted and what their protest demands were all about now probably not that many trust me i understand that using wacky protest tactics gets media attention and if you are pushing a cause that media attention is critical but when no one even gets what you want or why you're in that wacky costume it doesn't help there seems to be like almost a protest a culture and language like you see people and they're so satisfied with themselves and their costumes and silly gimmicks but if your protest is actually aimed at people in power then how is a guy to care cost of goods with the opinion of heartless bureaucrats sitting in some soulless office again media attention is great but if you want to be taken
11:12 am
seriously wearing a rainbow wig and thawing while fighting for your rights doesn't seem to send the right message but that's just my opinion.

cherian lyrae an archie. and a russian microsatellites but by chinese space junk could have been floating around up there since two thousand and seven indeed there's an abundance of space debris there and even a small objects is small as a sugar cube can cause a lot of damage apparently thomas told my colleague andrew farmer about the threat posed by even tiny objects in space. this is a sugar cube and it doesn't seem like it's very much but if it hits you at seventeen thousand miles an hour you can imagine it can do significant damage now in terms of this specific incident this is a collision between a piece of space junk from a chinese satellite which was destroyed back in two thousand and seven it collided with a small russian blit satellite the incident actually happened on january twenty second but it took up until now to discover exactly what happened and here's why
11:15 am
scientists discovered basically that there was a change in st jacques a change in the orbit and even the spin of the satellite and at that point they had to work backwards kind of reverse engineering to find out what happened what they decided is that at the point where they had this change there was a near miss with this piece of space junk so they decided well this is the size that could have caused such a change in trajectory and so they've just determined that was indeed a collision now space junk doesn't seem like it kind of sounds comical but really if you think about it there's more than five hundred thousand objects being tracked by nasa and other agencies in space right now and that's twenty thousand of those the size of a softball or larger if you think about that those things hitting at seventeen thousand miles an hour significant damage to satellites and lots of millions of dollars if you will because satellites are a commodity so there's a lot to be concerned about and must be very hard to try to mean something as small as a should you keep trying that in anticipation what are they doing to solve this problem oh yeah and that's only the stuff that can be tracked there's
11:16 am
a countless number of things that are smaller than one centimeter that can't even be tracked i mean we've been shooting things into space for more than fifty years now so there's different telescopes and laser imaging systems that are in the process of tracking different objects and what happens is when they determine that there is a near miss or there's going to be an instance where these things pass kind of close to each other then they change the trajectory of the course of the satellite but then there's also something called cancer syndrome is basically. critical mass where we've sent too much stuff into space it's created so much junk that we can't send something into space without hitting something and there are some people who believe that we've maybe already hit that critical mass so that the more stuff we put up the more expensive it becomes the more dangerous it becomes as well sean thomas our correspondent there were back on terra firma more news around the world today balances continued in pakistan ransacked and christian neighborhood in the eastern town of before your arrest or up to that last night after a christian man was accused of committing blasphemy

a crime punishable by death in the country police took the man into custody in attempt to pacify them or hundreds of christian families for the. hearing for the safety. nigerian extremists claim to have murdered seven foreign hostages now kidnapped recently in the north of the country according to the group's website the killings retaliate for a joint british nigerian military attempt to reclaim the prisoners the seven foreign workers from the u.k. greece italy lebanon the philippines are all employees of said truck over lebanese construction group working in the region. under nuclear and gives spreading across asia or in taiwan tens of thousands took to the streets to demand the plans for a nuclear plant was billions of dollars scrapped meanwhile in japan thousands more are protesting for an end to nuclear power there just days before the second anniversary of the fukushima disaster yesterday tepco the company cleansing reradiated side announced that it needs an extra four years just to flood proof the area delaying the removal of melted uranium fuel. there

appears to be a shadow of apartheid in israel palestinians commuting from the west bank and now being urged to board special buses that were launched this last week by the transport ministry after some jewish settlers feared this safety was at risk artie's paula slater reports now one of the roots of the racist overtones though go even deeper. on the first of december one nine hundred fifty five a black woman by the name of rosa parks made history by refusing to give up her seat in the so-called colored six in of a crowded bus in montgomery alabama that incident became a formative event in the u.s. civil rights movement and again this week israelis and palestinians are remembering that incident as the transport ministry introduces segregated bus lines in other words bus services only for kind of stimulus coming in and out of the west bank the move has created emotive reaction both for and against it both inside and outside
11:19 am
of israel the israeli transport ministry justifies it by saying that the move is an attempt to alleviate the distress of palestinian passengers having to travel for long hours in and out of israel but the truth is that behind the scenes there was a lot of noise being made by israeli settlers who refused to travel with palestinian passengers they say because they're afraid now newspaper editorials have had a field day with criticisms that israel is acting in line with a party that this smacks of racism and it echoes of the policies back in the united states decades ago the palestinian passengers on this bus saved leaves a bad taste in their mouths but the irony is that it cuts the travel time as they no longer have to travel through the settlements the ticket is a lot cheaper and the whole travel journey is a lot less stressful seven age it's very hard to live with this you can call it a racist action or whatever but it makes it even more impossible for both sides to understand one another. we're supposed to be working in
11:20 am
a civilized country but they're separate not bad i feel like israeli people look at as a second class or not equal to. do with social issues i feel very bad it is not acceptable at all but in the end of the strong side decides what happens we have to deal with this reality but the segregation here runs much deeper than just separate bus services we're talking about. different legal systems for israelis and palestinians we're talking about different allocation of resources and preferential treatment to name just a few policy r.t. on the way from qalqilya. have you ever wanted to rewind the clock maybe delete the embarrassing mistakes of your past well the usa of course seem to know that feeling quite well as this is it scrubs wrote strikes in afghanistan reports and website you know more about the mysterious data disappearance on our website ourselves r.t. dot com just click away russia's chechen public on new construction of
11:21 am
a mosque which it claims will be the second largest in israel will be named after the father of little of next present danger of ramzan kadyrov remember that as well r.t. dot com. in the seven years since its inception twitter has become an integral part of twenty first century life reflecting everything from people's routine habits to revolutionary political messages for the last two years every single tweet sent in the united states has been stored in a massive archive in the library of congress as it concerns and over privacy now the official reason is for research purposes but so far that data's been kept going closed doors is our lives well. it's part of the social media landscape that has revolutionized the way we communicate. twitter allows users to broadcast their thoughts one hundred forty characters at a time. from the very first tweet to declaring historic presidential victories
11:22 am
to the downright dumb all of it has been stored at the library of congress well the popularity of smartphones and i pads users can tweet pretty much anywhere at any time and the library of congress is taking note of the way people are communicating and expressing themselves along with journals and other publications social media is being stored as a part of history it began in two thousand and ten when twitter agreed to hand over to the library every tweet since the social media site launched and the tweets keep being stored with an estimated half a billion tweets per day it's a massive undertaking basically taking this body of information about the culture of this country and putting it into some kind of storage well we're talking about one hundred fifty. well now that the library has collected this massive archive it's not clear what they're going to do with it how do you search that how do you how do you how do you catalog that and split it into searchable pieces of content
11:23 am
and they haven't been able to figure that out yet. the libraries blog says quote although the library has been building and stabilizing the archive and has not yet offered researchers access we have nevertheless received approximately four hundred inquiries from researchers all over the world so far the library tells us the goal is for researchers to have access to the database not the general public and we asked are there any limits to what information the library can distribute the library tells us they've set a few no tweets newer than six months old will be handed over to researchers and the tweets can. be used for commercial purposes and researchers can make a big chunk of tweets available for downloading on their website still questions remain if you delete a tweet does the library still store it and how easily can law enforcement obtain your tweets people are worried about privacy pretty sure the n.s.a. and homeland security has already threw up the so perhaps the takeaway as think
11:24 am
before you tweet because it's going to be stored right here at the library of congress and washington liz wall r.t. . china says it's open to cooperating with the united states in the asia pacific region but as the chinese foreign minister stressed washington needs to respect china's interests and concerns at the same time that statement comes during a turbulent period for bilateral relations with the u.s. significantly beefing up its military presence in china's backyard hong kong city university professor joseph chen told us that american posturing in the region will only add to rising tensions. china still valueless very good relationship with the united states because it understands that this still needs a lot of time it needs a peaceful international and vironment to concentrate on this modernization and he will continue to work hard to avoid serious conflicts with the united states but
11:25 am
since twenty ten chinese leaders are increasingly increasingly worried about american dealing with all of them and indeed the territorial dispute in the asia pacific region name need to do you tie island is filled with the pan and the time the dispute of the countries and china is concerned that he returned to asia strategy on the part of the power obama administration coincides very well with the hedging strategy on the part of these asian countries i think wow there will be a lot of poles soaring there will be considerable escalation of tension but all countries concerned do not want a military conflict and they will carefully to avoid incidents of military conflicts but. certainly we'll continue to enhance tension concerning the military concerning the territorial disputes. we'll be following it closely kevin i

11:29 am
a new all time low against bitcoin and the paper millionaires in the paper billionaires are really highly suspect because they're part of a manipulated world manipulated fed policy manipulated bond markets they manipulate the price of gold and silver but all that money printing that they've done has flowed into the only non manipulated currency in the world and that is bitcoin bitcoin is the true and. lation rate paul krugman good point is the true inflation rate ben bernanke and once again i gotta tell you if feels great to be a bit coin millionaire you know it's gone up almost fourteen hundred percent in the last year and i'm loving it because there's anonymity there's power you're taking a stance against the paper pushers like jamie diamond over j.p. morgan and this is really this is the currency of the resistance so let's look over and back at the dow jones because that did hit an all time high and i will look at charles beat her man and his daily.
