a clip accusing the israeli government of failing to film an expansion and of violating palestinians rights now here are some of the bits of that video now addressing the israeli government of the group stated you have not stopped a your and less human rights violations you have nonstop to legal settlements and you have not respected the ceasefire that is some of the bits of that's video it's a bit of a it's a bit of a two and a half minutes long now of the announcement of the intended attack on israel spread it was spread by social media and here is one of the pictures of that warning here you can see you better secure your sign so that was one of the warning that the group posted on different internet web sites now there were also reports that scores of large organizations had to close their websites to shield them from

hackers and as of early sunday dozens of israeli websites were on the available so now it is really official and it's on and if you try to access some of these rallies size here's what you will be seeing and not only seeing. it was. really hard to ask him made how many sites were hacked numberous range from hundreds to thousands israeli officials claimed the damage was minimal but that's not the impression you get when you go online anonymous we're joined by other hacker groups and individuals from all over the world leaving their own different morgues right and how has responded to the offensive at least it was warned

right well it was and it did response the side of the operation itself was hacked and now if you try to visit the page devoted to the operation really quite on the spot to be what you see and here is a video of the israeli national anthem and then on the hackers some few forgotten fags is the college now here's one of kin david founded the city of jerusalem mahomet's. well basically i'm going to another jews pray facing jerusalem and muslims pray with their backs to word jerusalem there are many other different as they call it for gazan fags so that was the response that the anonymous group received after their their attack right actually the first time these really cyberspace was a tox wasn't it well right right indeed it was not the first time anonymous has has targeted israeli cyberspace with a with

a previous operation in curing during last year's the gaza war now during the four days it lasted hundred. suffered from more than forty million unique attacks sound seven hundred israeli websites suffered. he did attacks we should target high profile government systems such as the foreign ministry the bank of jerusalem these three defense ministry now anonymous posted the only line personal deed or oath thousands of israeli officials and the group took part in an attack and we the details of thousands of users of the popular israeli email service wallah were also released online so it was not really the first time that that have been around medina live from studio many thanks indeed and of course. you will get more information on this latest development.

today once again. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of kandahar. joint operations room. going on now north korea iran targets war a trick this week and ousting its army's not officially authorized to wage a nuclear attack on the u.s. the warning was followed by reports pyongyang moved to ballistic missiles to the east coast north korea's saying its actions are angels counter countering aggression by washington i should say and has bowed up its military presence in the region as the critic crisis deepens so to downs that pyongyang is capable of turning its war was into action unlike the u.s. which is going to check and explain. to north korea's bellicose threats washington

responds with an even more intense buildup of military power in the region to that north korea responds with even more threats even though defense secretary chuck hagel called north korea real and clear danger the white house says they haven't seen any large scale movements from north korean military forces suggesting that it may be just rhetoric but while north korea talks washington acts apart from f. twenty two fighter jets and other bombers that it sent to the region for the ongoing military exercises with south korea the pentagon is now deploying an advanced missile defense system to guam a major u.s. military base in asia north korea the north korean army has announced that he has the final approval for a nuclear attack on the u.s. as they tell us north korean rockets can't really reach the u.s. mainland but they can potentially attack u.s. bases in the region there are twenty thousand u.s. troops just across the border in south korea so could we see the worst nuclear standoff since the cuban missile crisis between the soviet union and the u.s. even though the rhetoric is probably as hostile as it's ever been no one really

believes that north korea is actually going to carry out an attack north korea itself knows that if it did the attack the united states it would be committing national suicide the united states would retaliate in a tremendous fashion north korea does not want to commit suicide i believe north korea is doing all this sure it can get to a point to actually negotiate some kind of peace agreement with the united states in the u.s. media to you have all pundits basically saying the same thing that north korea is not going to strike because they know it's a suicide that they want to reach some kind of a deal with washington but they're not going to get it you have form officials experts all saying that but with all this war talk from north korea and with u.s. military buildup in the region some say all it may take is for one of the sites to snap or some kind of a mistake before everything spirals out of control in washington i'm going to check on. the north korean crisis also the main focus of breaking the set here and i'll

see this week at our web site to say the full well among other things abi i asked have guessed when the u.s. could possibly gain from keeping this is rationing. the war rhetoric from high level north korean officials is not letting up and as a result the u.s. announced that in a precautionary move they'll be speeding up the deployment of advanced missile system defense to the region in the next few weeks this following a series of u.s. training exercises in south korea as a show of military straight including sending b. two stealth bombers each of which cost taxpayers more than three billion dollars but wait before you run for your bunkers supported understand the legitimacy of these threats and the context of why they're happening in the first place you know i just read today that north korea is actually proposed continued efforts for a peace treaty in the past it kind of flies in the face of everything that we're told that north korea is this hostile nation if this is true why isn't this proposed peace treaty come to fruition well because the united states is interested

in peace i mean as we know as many people in america do not know one of the key negotiating points for the north koreans has always been the side of peace treaty only an armistice has been signed the united states refuses to sign a peace treaty because they feel they have no interest in a peaceful resolution of north korea the north korean issue because their north korea would be free to not spend all their money on the military not have to be consistently concerned with being invaded by the united states and so by keeping up the pressure on north korea militarily and by sanctions it sort of forces them into a fortress like mentality which makes it look like the least desirable place in the world to live and that's very valuable to us propaganda in terms of saying to other countries you should do what we. want. to do you ever seen anything like. the u.s. state of unconsoled has launched a probe into north pole in the city of mayflower on which affected at least sixty

homes there local government along with two households which had filed a federal lawsuit is taking reimbursement from one america's largest oil company is responsible for the disaster and chris harrell whose home was affected by the pegasus pipeline rupture told us here tonight i got off work early and was headed back to my home and the police officer at the entrance to the neighborhood not allowing anybody in i asked why he said the issue was there was no will still in the area and i told him our family and my wife and children at the home so he allowed me in a little town to get them on the road in and to kind of survey the damage and it was all just flowing down the street behind our house well it actually went through some yards and some of the houses and down one of the main streets in our subdivision it's a big effect on quite a few houses what about the people who were turfed out of the houses i think it was twenty two not as affected are they back in their. notes or there are still staying in local hotels in the area and they they've been allowed back in their homes

through you know twenty minutes at a time and together belongings take care of pets and they don't know when they'll be back for good i guess a lot of people from officials in exile know bill then coming to apologize and one of the speak sure. there are some in the area there's a claims apartment that's been sent out but we've not heard a lot from just yet so it's we're going to taking a wait and see approach what happens next how are we going to be compensated and along with for our some of our neighbors can get back in their homes would you have hope for a more hands off of approach maybe from them so far could you don't mislead a few more people from the company. well so far as the cleanup process they've done a good job there but they've not done a really good job of communicating to some of the residents that would be this all part large city sixty five years old is one of the oldest in the country is not only were there worries in your community about this before consider him out of all that was going through it daily and it's a huge huge well truth of the matter is a lot of the residents in our neighborhood weren't aware that the plan was even

there. yet believe it or not and that may be a shame on us kind of thing but friday afternoon when the wall was running down the street that was the first time many folks even knew it was anywhere in the area and you can follow the oil spill timeline on our web site dot com including photos and videos from the disaster hit area. of the world keeps a close eye on the bus to break in china panic is already spreading across the neighboring countries six people have died so far out of the eight and a factor figure is far from an epidemic and his case appealing looks now at who might hope to benefit from anybody. the panic is already spreading across the globe over fears of a bird flu epidemic in china twenty thousand birds were slaughtered at one local market japan has health warnings on people coming into the country from china hong kong shares slumped in chinese airline stocks in an attempt to restrict travel

vietnam bans poultry imports from china and taiwan raises quarantine level alerts while u.s. and china are already looking into creating a vaccine for this specific type of bird flu drug producers are already poised to jump in produce a cure at a price of course now let's look at the example of the swine flu epidemic which cost the british taxpayer one point two billion dollars asked the government panicked and splashed out billions on vaccinations pharmaceutical giant black say smith kline secured a billion dollar contract from it making a billion dollars from vaccines alone last year i reality four hundred fifty seven people died from swine flu a third of which dive regular flu every year so while china battles with the flu drug companies are no doubt preparing for a multi billion dollar order. only britain where big pharmaceuticals made

billions from the swine flu panic so let's now take a look at how the fear spread across the globe during the outbreak so after the first suspected case was reported in mexico in march two thousand and nine it took less than a month for the world epidemic to appear in the media and that was even before the five deaths from swine flu was confirmed well when that happened swine flu immediately became the most covered news story in the media shortly after the world health organization declared a swine flu pandemic and mosques and nations were for jews despite the thousands of deaths worldwide it transpires that many millions of dollars spent on the vaccine were wasted and less than a year after the doses were ordered in the u.s. alone and forty million of them expired and had to be destroyed and as a result billions of dollars worth of profits were made by a big pharmaceuticals in a little over a year as you can see here so we'll have to wait and see where the current bust the

hype leads they star on right here with our see more news coming your way after a short break including the rage in cairo more pleasure than egypt capital with police firing tear gas to despise those protesting against the islamist leaders. also the hunger strike a gone time of day and sudden months and a risk to prison us how grows and rapidly we'll look at why washington continues to talk down the scale of the broader s. that's after a short break. the

international airport in the very heart of moscow.

this is the wiki line from moscow welcome back egypt has once again been grabbed by protests and fighting five people have been killed and at least eight hundred in clashes between christians and muslims in the town near cairo there some of the worst six terror and violence the country's seen in months in the capital itself an anti-government demonstration demanding regime change attended by thousands and it is couples with the riot police cairo based journalist tom dale has the details clashes have broken out in downtown cairo metal barricades have put being called across the street tear gas and smoke fills the air and the wave of sirens the familiar green laser cutting through the gas once again patches of spread to the town of mahatma which is so important the first of the april sixth movement five years ago on my day five years ago police fired live ammunition into a crowd protesting against rises in food prices they killed three people including

a fifteen. on the easy echoes of that day up once again an unarmed peaceful demonstration has been fired upon there are complaints of the interior ministry and the security services are brutal and reform food prices are roy's involved wages remain stagnant and in that context this is just the latest sign of a growing polarized zation between mohamed morsi says the misled government and the opposition on the streets i spoke to the leader of the april sixth young she led the movement to support the muslim brotherhood. and president mohamed morsi indeed against the alternative contender for the presidency in some way last year but now the muslim brotherhood and president mohamed morsi were broken the promises which they made to the revolutionary youth including to april sixth and that's why people are on the streets and that's why they're angry. staying in the region and tensions between israel and palestine have flared up once again this week fueled by the death of a high profile palestinian prisoners suffering

a life sentence in an israeli jail the backlash include a divided process across the west bank last hunger strikes by palestinian inmates and fresh walk exchanges between israel and hamas all she's a rino going to cause in the west bank closely following the developments. one man's death turned into a rage of the masses at the beginning of the week sixty four year old my sorrow book handy a died in the israeli prison according to his family the palestinian prisoner has complained about his health since the summer of last year but it was only in march that doctors told him that he had a terminal illness and only days left to live news about the hunt is that spread like wildfire cross the palestinian territories clashes haven't asked numerous towns and villages across the region resulting in the deaths of two palestinian two majors but the most intense clashes between israeli security forces and palestinian protesters took place right here in hebron the hometown of abu hamed to rage smoke

tear gas and rubber bullets filled the streets as people expressed their feelings about the treatment of from the as well as thousands of other palestinians in confinement. a state of widespread anger and diggnation over. what many people here. primitive murder by. palestinians think that the death of my father was a direct result of israeli criminal negligence moral carelessness more than four thousand palestinian inmates went on hunger strike to show what they thought about him d. his death gaza broke the fragile four month long cease fire rockets into southern israel and the listing an airstrike from tel aviv come to his death provided an outlet for frustration that has been building up for years since the palestinian uprising in the beginning of the century known as the second intifada

a growing number of israeli settlements palestinian prisoners and as a result a peace process in jeopardy every. palestinian being israeli prison shoes. it can really explode there can be very very sophisticated how to go. to be with you and with one. of. palestinian prisoners. the most triples the whole thing can explode this was the second palestinian death in an israeli jail this year old earth large i doubt died of a heart attack in temporary causes such as these only adds to the anger palestinians feel towards israel people on the street want some movement and we do not see any movement toward liberation what we see is continued occupation

intensification of settlements intensification of abduction and killing of people every aleksey somebody could be and should be. released. good number of. troll. really. means a simple solution that maybe to some but it depends on whether israel has the good will to get into was very into where the even go to school or to. and right now from on air to online stories including sometimes why you just don't have enough the statistics shedding light on the rising number of america's richest people cashing in millions of unemployment benefits learn how that's possible at r.t. dot com. and of merkel baby in india

a ten month old girl survives thirty six hours trapped under the rubble of a collapsed eight story building in mumbai at our web site with a whole story. behind bars without charge and starving for justice hunger strikers and grant on our way have been engaged in a desperate act of defiance for two months now the risk to their health is growing rapidly but u.s. officials continue to downplay the scale of the crisis and a federal public defender carlos warner a lawyer for grant on a detainees told r.t. the government's drowned itself into a no win situation. military is underestimating the number by at least two thirds i think we have at least one hundred thirty men on hunger strike in guantanamo as we speak today the resolve has changed in that week the military can force feed them they are playing a game of chicken with an opponent who is ready to die and you can't do that you

will lose that game of chicken the military doesn't seem to grasp this logic at this point it's premature to even ask the president close guantanamo we're just asking that he charge somebody with with the responsibility just one person if president obama gives us one person we can talk to and gives that person the strength of his office we can close guantanamo the pentagon general kelly from the southern command went on the record and said look this is frustration because the president broke his promise that's unprecedented in our society to have a general tell the president look this is what's causing it it's not about the qur'an it's about the frustration that is going to animals so there is no law in kuantan a mo you have people that everyone even the ones that have been declared innocent are there for life until they die there indefinitely detained in montreal almost three hundred people have been detained and fined for opposing a lou and it's clamping down on rallies in the nation's says groups are required to

provide state authorities with and i before they hit the streets only to march as a needle and even conks about correspondent for canadian affairs website rabble to ca's says the new is a clear violation of citizens' rights. mina's followed by a lot of the sixty's and active at the height of the student strike last year and your provincial law. was twelve which was denounced by everyone in the united nations high commissioner on human rights to back bar association representing all the provinces lawyers and prosecutors and it was a serious violation of civil liberties which was then repealed by the incoming provincial government and the fact that the montreal police are now using this file always here is that in so many ways in which it's also been denounced by every civil liberties and human rights organization and this is really troubling it's it's a clear violation of our constitution and and one that's obviously going to be found to be a violation once it once the court case is heard that it's it's a very it's

a very disturbing situation right now high and the end result of the use of this file right now is that people are to be rounded up and and charged and given six hundred thirty seven dollar tickets for no crime other than that tempting because hey you can use a protest nobody really knows what to make of this late in a country where we've always taken for granted the right to protest the right to express our opinion and so a lot of people right now are very very fearful and so there's an attitude that people want to go out they want to challenge this by law they know what's happening is not right but at the same time they're afraid. to report good god it does next. what if one third of the population of a capital city of

a small arab country took to the streets in protest while the mainstream media would scream the people of nation x. are crying out for democracy we have to intervene and take their oil i mean help them but the earth shaking a large protest isn't an arab country it's in paris france and for traditional marriage yes protesters in paris claim that they had eight hundred thousand people on the streets of france's capital and even though the police said that half those numbers for a city of less than two point five million people this was a huge protest for a cardless the european union loves to educate the world about democracy and show the liberal values around and yet that doesn't really seem to listen to the citizens very much who want to stop the madness of waves of illegal immigrants bailing out members on the times of other nations and for focusing the union's national attention on social issues like gay marriage instead of creating jobs to the e.u. officials out there who claim to believe in democracy maybe it's about time you

actually try you know listening to a few voices who disagree with you before you keep promoting policies against possibly the will of the majority but that's just my opinion. the international airport in the very heart of moscow.
