israel under fire online group anonymous has launched a wave of cyber attacks on israeli websites protesting against the mistreatment of . the united states delays an intercontinental nuclear test after a week of atomic threats naval provocations and ballistic. of the korean peninsula on the brink of war. dozens of residents are forced to flee their homes as a major. swamping a small town with five thousand barrels of oil. and twenty thousand birds slaughtered and poultry markets closed as bird flu hits china but with only six deaths the media is on course to break out of all proportion.

with the top headlines of the week and of today this is the weekly on our with me will receive. the hooker's group anonymous has launched a major cyber offensive against israel the activists say their aim is to disrupt and erase israel from cyberspace while in protest over the policies towards palestine. details it all started with and now i'm seeing their operation on you tube on thursday you know the group published a clip accusing these really government of failing to and settlement expansion and violating the palestinians right now addressing the israeli government of the group stated you have not stopped and les' human rights violations and you have not respected the cease fire you know the announcement was spread through different social media to gather with this type of warning you better secure

your site and asked of early sunday dozens of israeli web sites were on available and if you want to access some of these rally websites you might be greeted with this is heart ready to asked amazed how many sites were hacked and numbers range from hundreds to thousands a one for the israeli officials say that the damage was minimal but that's not the impression you get as if you go online and these really responded by their own online attack now the site of the operation itself was hacked and if you try to visit the pages you will see and hear these really national anthem and also the hackers posted these so called a few forgotten facts all these facts are jewish such as this one for example

king david found as the city of jerusalem the hammonds never came to jerusalem now it wasn't really the fast time dives and monuments attacked israeli. cyberspace you know the previous time it happened during last year's gaza war now only during the four days it lasts one hundred is really websites it was suffered from forty million unique attacks and around seven hundred israeli watched it attacks including some high profile government websites like the websites of the foreign ministry the bank of jerusalem and these rarely defense ministry so as you can see that previous attack had some major impact so wait and see how this one develops or let's get more of the latest hacker attack and its implications from dr phil and expert in the usage of the internet in the middle east and islamic world

a pleasure to see you today thanks for coming on r t let's talk about this. you think it's dangerous. good evening sir well this current their attack is not a serious serious as it's looked like in the media. because first of all. there is no such mass of. those cyber attacks or the israeli websites whether it's a private organization or governmental. that's first of all and second thing it's not only that quantity bought into the quality. even though several websites where hacked or defaced those only the websites that were harmed no a leaked of information no damage to the whole system or to the infrastructure of the israeli. major websites of the government or institutional or networks

that's important to emphasize you know are induced attacks this much of psychology psychological warfare because when you talk about websites that were hacked. and leaked of information you have to know where they do is information are really off. came from the allegedly hacked websites or i gather a few months ago in the past when you sort of. talk about you talk about the the psychological the psychological effect of a cyber attack or we spoke to a guest earlier who called exactly who called this perhaps an online incursion others say well it could be some sort of a cyber terrorism but do you think what anonymous has done and is doing is effective in getting their message across. well it's a fact of the. meaning that you know the media here in israel and i think in the

world of talking about it you know we're spending the time to cover. all of this cyber tacklers but if we lived through this advance and as we try to gather information on. what is the damage and well i think the damage is not exactly as planned and i think that in the operation pillar for defense a few months ago there were more attacks and more valuable attacks all the israeli websites and most important to know that you know there is a big difference between hacking the websites all the face it. and the ability to breach. the seas let me let me let let me let's talk about that for a moment you know you talk about the issue you took out the issue of attacking

a website whether it's just a scratch on the surface or someone is actually leaking information for example we know it's really israeli officials and american officials months ago used the stuxnet virus and were to go go after iran alleged nuclear program and it might seem to some that the way governments use it is a lot more dangerous than perhaps this group known as anonymous. well. the balance now in the twenty first century. is that this side of balance is that the private use of the internet even groups. and hackers kin create many people asian and create damage to come through is you don't need to be a superpower sub a superpower to affect damage all over the country and its institution. and months ago

a year ago pardon. did manage to penetrate a. few websites really websites and to leak information about israelis and their credit cards but. what i think about i think when you bring in the issue all the private citizen and their credit card information all the bank information you know that certainly is dangerous but no haps not as dangerous as certain governments on the ground around the world that are not only worried about for example the pentagon was hacked recently but now they're gone going on the offensive to try and track down hackers dr paul i'm sorry sorry i'm out of time here but a professional and expert analysis on the use of the internet and technology in the middle east and islamic world a great pleasure to have you want to today thank you very much indeed thank you thank you and good evening yes. well the cyber attacks come in the wake of a renewed wave of discontent crashing down on israel deadly clashes broke out

between activists and soldiers sparked by the death of a high ranking palestinian prisoners in israeli detention that's amid accusations his jailers did nothing to save his life and more on that a bit later in the program. at least ten children are among eighteen killed today in the latest bungled strike by u.s. led forces in afghanistan and the raid was allegedly called in by troops on the ground after a weekend of fighting and the target was a small isolated village in eastern afghanistan seven men also perished in the strike they are automatically presumed to be insurgents by u.s. forces such strikes have strongly soured relations between international troops and the afghan government prompting president karzai to ban his troops from requesting western support. now in this week's or dramatic escalation on the korean peninsula with pyongyang threatening a preemptive nuclear strike on the united states a response was not left with u.s.

and south korean war ships and aircraft swarming to the north coast but washington has come and sold a planned intercontinental nuclear missile test to avoid further inflaming the situation. 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. 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 one major u.s. military base in asia. north korean army has announced that it has the final approval for

a nuclear attack. as they tell us north korean rockets. 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 tack to 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 so it can get to a point to actually negotiate some kind of peace agreement with the united states in the u.s. media to. all pundits basically saying the same thing that north korea is not. in a 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 former 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 sides to snap or some kind of a mistake before everything spirals out of control in washington. and a specialist on security and nuclear weapons dr jim walsh his take on the risks on the payoffs of america's engagement in korea. the u.s. is for sending a signal to the south koreans it's treaty ally saying we've got you back it's also intended to send a message to the north koreans hey we can reach out and touch you you know be careful what you wish for i do worry though that you know all these moving pieces plus all this new leadership a new leader and a leader in north korea all this stuff going on someone could make a mistake and that could light a match that would lead to a conflict that no one actually wants to have the north koreans are crazy. they're not going to deliberately start

a war but they are they try to stay just below that level of provocation will they react the way we want them to react i just don't know we don't know what's inside the minds of north koreans it's the most closed country in the world but when we brandish arms and do that we we are taking a risk that they will misunderstand that and respond in the wrong way. when a toxic a swarm of oil is who's down the streets of a small town in all console this week forcing dozens of residents to flee off to an aging pipe bust the carly staying in hotels and may not be able to return to their homes for quite some time and locals have started to feel like victims as they say the company responsible for maintaining the pipe did little to address their concerns almost one hundred fifty people have taken legal action against exxon mobil saying the river of oil has forced the value of homes to plummet industry expert richard steiner says basic regulation is not being enforced there is no excuse what so ever for oil pipelines to be anything over thirty years old or

general design life is maybe twenty to thirty years the federal administration within the department of transportation of the us the pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration isn't doing its job or is industry there is this general complacency with an industry and government that look don't worry we've got this be happy we know how to do this work stay out of our business but this happens time and time and time and again and it just goes to show you that people make mistakes human error always crops up and equip fails live from moscow this is azzi a street battles prison strikes and fresh exchanges of fire on the gaza border palestinians have been venting their fury at israel off to one of the high profile nationals died in an israeli jail while serving a life sentence now some of the follow up clashes in the west bank turned deadly

off the two teenagers were shot dead by i.d.f. soldiers nazis are going to go has more. one man's death turned into a rage of the masses at the beginning of the week sixty four year old my sorrow bookham d. a died in the israeli prison according to his family the palestinian prisoner has complained about his health since the summer of last year 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 death spread like wildfire cost palestinian territories clashes haven't asked numerous towns and villages across the region resulting in the deaths of two palestinian teenagers but the most intense clashes between israeli security forces and palestinian protesters took place right here in hebron the hometown of abu hamed to hear rage smoke tear gas and rubber bullets filled the streets as people express their feelings about the treatment of from dia as well as thousands of other palestinians in confinement

there is a state of widespread anger and diggnation over. what many people here. a primitive murder by. palestinians think that the death of my father a humvee was a direct result of israeli criminal negligence as well as moral powerlessness 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 occasion or for

a palestinian being israeli prison that is an issue that. can really explode there can be very very sophisticated playing how to go whole world to deal with. and with thirty one occasion of a dead palestinian prisoner and demonstrations and shooting at the demonstrators the whole thing can explode this was the second palestinian death in an israeli jail this year the three year old earth larger adult 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 which some believe could be and should be changed. that israel

will. release. a good number of palestinians to. troll. readiness for negotiations with the palestinians a simple solution that maybe to some but it depends on whether israel has the good will to get it was the bank in tel aviv even called my team. and i t. is coming to you live from moscow a nearly three hundred protesters were arrested in montreal this week ultimately they were defying a law that was announcing the protests were illegal there are concerns that a heavy handed police repression is having a chilling effect on human rights so that's coming up after the break.

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. for about twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital this is artsy a new type of bird flu has been discovered in china this week promoting the government to cull tens of thousands of birds so far the virus has killed six out of the eighteen people infected now it's not the first time a new strain of flu has hit china let's have a look at how the infection has spread not just across the population but in the media as well and many of the articles written read like horror stories sparking panic away out of proportion with the facts you will remember the past bird flu and swine flu outbreaks and the attention they grabbed across the media artie's kitty

pilgrim has more on how the hype took hold. 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 says slumped in chinese airline stocks in an attempt to restrict travel vietnam pounds poultry imports from china and taiwan raises quarantine level alerts while the u.s. and china are already looking into creating a vaccine for this specific type of bird flu co-produce is already poised to jump in and produce a cure out of 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 off of the government panicked and splashed out billions on vaccinations pharmacy school giant black say smith kline secured a billion dollar contract from it might lead to

a billion dollars from vaccines alone last year i reality four hundred fifty seven people died from swine flu a third of which die regular flu every year so while china battles with the flu drug companies are no doubt preparing for a multi billion dollar order. the russian president vladimir putin is heading to in germany today he'll try to calm the international hype by office searches of nongovernmental organizations in russia across the role of the country's funds and that hit. peter all over has more of what to expect from the upcoming talks in her . a lot of mia putin will begin his visit to germany in the netherlands by opening the world's largest trade fair here in hanover russia is one of the main partners of this year's events and over plenty of russian technology on display but also provide a chance for vladimir putin to sit down and have

a chat with german chancellor angela merkel just recently to be a putin gave a interview on german television one of the things that he spoke about there was giving reassurances really to germans as well as other europeans about new laws that have been brought in in russia regarding n.g.o.s he said that they aren't laws that are being put in place to form any kind of witch hunt against non-government organizations working in russia they have merely in order to make these organizations reveal where their funding comes from for the work that they're doing which is the law does not prohibit anything you know there's a limit close down anything should organizations financed from abroad a lot for didn't carry out any type of activities including internal political ones the only thing we want to know is who receives money and where it goes i repeat the law is not some sort of innovation of our own also during nothing interview he fact the the you wrote he said that russia would continue to hold some of its reserve

currency in russia holds just over forty percent of its currency in euros they said they would continue to do that and the major players in the european union were doing the best job possible in order to try and get the ailing year zero back on its feet however it's not all smiles there are some disagreements between europe and russia notably one of those regarding cyprus which russia was very critical of a decision to place a levy on deposits that were in banks in cyprus germany is russia's largest trading partner and you. europe and with around a quarter of a million people expected to come here to hanover for the trade fair hoping to do a little bit more business in the future but we'll also be getting a glimpse asked will be where the future of the relationship between angola and vladimir putin is heading after we hear what the two leaders have to say after

they've sat down and discussed the many things that need to be talked about by the two lead is what he's put her on fire right there heavy handed police of clamping down on an unannounced rally at montreal arresting nearly three hundred protesters noodles say a demonstration has to be registered with the author already used for it to go ahead legally ethan caulks is the quebec correspondent for the canadian affairs website rabble dot ca he says the lower is a clear violation of citizens' rights. yunus will by law six years and acted in the height of the strike last year in your provincial law. law as well which was announced by everyone united nations high commissioner on rights to back bar association representing all provinces lawyers prosecutors and it was a serious violation of civil liberties which was then you'll by the i mean the interim government nobody really knows what to make of. lived 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 want to go out they want to challenge this by law they know what's happening it's not right but at the same time they're afraid. just a moment here on our t.v. report on the lives of palestinian families but brushing shoulders with an israeli way stop life for most of this is. 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 listen 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 that's 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.
