1:01 am
a woman are now added to the list of civilian deaths at the hands of nato forces in afghanistan coalition officials admit carrying out an air strike in the province on the border with pakistan but hasn't confirmed the deaths the major u.s. and afghan operation was supposed to target senior taliban commanders but civilian deaths are likely to the main source of tension between afghan leaders and foreign forces in february president karzai told his troops not to call for strikes and demanded that nato avoid hitting populated areas the attacks are also deeply resented by the afghan public and have even seen taliban support grow. and her relations have soured between the u.s. and afghanistan. these airstrikes come amid repeated pleas from the afghan government of president karzai to stop killing civilians because in course those words they fuel insecurity and instability they further alienate afghans from their government which many afghans see as a puppet government so president karzai although he does all his power to allied
1:02 am
forces to washington specifically but he clearly understands that those civilian casualties more violence in afghanistan and undermine his government even further these are the types of attacks that infuriate the local population like the one in september last year nato killed eight women or in may a nato airstrike killed an afghan family including six children and two women earlier this year president karzai banned afghan forces from calling in air strikes although his order appears to have been ignored by international forces now these attacks also undermines u.s. efforts to negotiate an agreement to stay in afghanistan past twenty four thirteen although president karzai appears to be prepared to strike a deal he knows what kind of a backlash it may have been of again is that in order for u.s. troops to stay they need immunity from prosecution under the afghan law and that's what they were good at negotiating now the deadly. strikes killing civilians
1:03 am
certainly make it hard for the afghans to accept such a deal and allow foreign forces to further operate there with impunity. while the civilian deaths came on the same day that a car bomb killed five americans including three soldiers a diplomat and a defense department contractor in the southern province of the ball david swanson peace activist and the author of war is a lie says that the us media unfortunately doesn't draw enough attention to attacks where innocent afghans die. even the news articles about this strike which killed a greater number of people are dominated by paragraphs talking about another strike that killed americans and in particular one woman who was a state department employee who had met john kerry and the u.s. deaths of course are always smaller number slip they dominate the coverage of americans are not aware of the extent to which this war is essentially a one sided slaughter of helpless people who meant us no ill and has been for over
1:04 am
a decade the debate going on is how many u.s. troops will stay beyond two thousand and fourteen that but the idea that they should be staying until the end of two thousand and fourteen and that we should just accept that is sort of built into all the news coverage in the united states and it's actually rather outrageous because there's been no evidence put forward that there's any sort of progress or any sort of good be done it and they predictably killed far more innocent people then those alleged to be to be guilty of resistance to an illegal occupation but at r.t. dot com you can tell us what you think the consequences will be of this latest deadly airstrike in afghanistan almost half of you think it will spark attacks from groups looking to hit back at coalition forces close behind forty two percent believe the afghan president will make forceful statements but little else seven percent think hamid karzai is hand will be forced when he will have to band nato
1:05 am
airstrikes while the remaining few believe the date for nato troops to leave will be brought forward so had to r.t. dot com and have your say. now another nato led campaign where thousands of civilians were killed was of course an iraq cross talk in the next hour if it's time for those who sanctioned that campaign to face trial. the way the world is set up is we prosecute developing leaders or rebels for war crimes but we don't we can't do it for major powers because they have too much power in the system and i guess that's what people think they're just simply too powerful the prosecute here is what happened the britain and the us invaded iraq and even killing rebels what we would call some terrorists. that was unnecessary so anyone who died in that war. died unnecessarily because it was aggression right so
1:06 am
bush and blair killed probably hundreds of thousands of people the problem that we have in international affairs is that sometimes autocracies are not aggressive and sometimes democracies are very aggressive. israeli enjoy dain dorothy's have reportedly arrested several activists suspected of taking part in a large scale cyber attack on israel government sites were among those disrupted in the attack which the hacking group anonymous says was it wiping out the country wiping the country off the internet the government's claims the there were no lasting effects with disputed by the hackers they cost of the damage at around three billion dollars to tens of thousands of israeli bank accounts were broken into as part of the so-called israel anonymous claims the attacks were in response to israel's human rights violations and legal settlements and violation of international rule one middle east and told r.t.
1:07 am
that country can expect more of the saying in the future. legally. we are the sons of palestinian people and we feel the pressure of the israeli occupation not only in gaza but also in all the arab and muslim world and as the first retaliation we committed to fast and full scale attacked. on israeli websites to warn israel and all its supporters about the threat that hangs over them they have weapons and we have our own means as a result of this attack we receive the names of those who cooperate with israel the aim of the attack was to show the world the true face of israel and its armed forces and we coped with our task we failed to fulfill our goal by using force to resist but we succeeded through the cooperation of palestinians in the whole arab and muslim world so now we make a clear warning to israel in the future be ready for a new larger surprises. well most government websites are back on line but these
1:08 am
writing knesset site remains than right now is writing hackers have meanwhile staged a counter offensive by taking down the op israel website and several others warn that side of the story now from our days at a nickel. the information is coming from a palestinian twitter account from the palestinian authority presidential adviser on technology and communication who said that israel has retaliated to the daylong how king attack on israel by arresting several palestinians and several of the west bank towns they have the attack on israel is going on for the entire day. twenty eight meijer israeli sites have been down including the knesset's site of the israeli parliament which we are hearing is still down also the activists are saying that tens of thousands of israeli facebook and twitter accounts have been brought down as well as they tried to target the banking system as well as other major
1:09 am
sites all of this of course is being done. by the had to his group anonymous or it or groups associated there with who are saying that this is their way of getting back at israel for occupying limbs in the west bank and mistreatment of palestinians where there is an attack there's seems to be a response now at least their husband response from the israeli hackers who have issued a statement saying that whoever whoever is participating in the so-called israel is weak and feeble minded and for every attack that they do is really have to tell you doesn't fold but at the same time you have to understand that israel is a rather powerful country and of course the officials long before the attack has actually taken place and it was well it was well advertised you may say they have said that they're fully prepared for this doc and they have their best specialists working on preventing it and yet we're looking at twenty major sites down we're still looking at thousands of israeli counselors who are being housed which kind of brings the question exactly what exactly is happening with the israeli specialist
1:10 am
and just how powerful the the anonymous hackers really are. israel also suffered a major hack last november when the country's defense forces were fighting in garza a former m i five agent released these attacks pale in significance to the cyber operations carried out by some governments it is very much matter of inconvenience to the websites that are under assault but of course it does get a lot of publicity the difference between this and real hacking real cyber attacks can be seen very starkly what happened when the u.s. and the israeli governments committed an act of fiber terrorism when they attacked the iranian nuclear production facility is when they released the stuxnet virus now this is the first we have western governments colluding to attack the infrastructure of another sovereign country so that is cyber terrorism that is what a real cyber attack looks like and of course it has ramifications now because the stuxnet virus went out to attack these precise facilities but it's now out there in
1:11 am
the world it can be used and abused and mutated by real cyber criminals out there so what the u.s. and the israeli government did with stops net is that you far more damaging than any protest movement trying to bring down certain websites in certain countries selling russia as a good investment president putin highlights the country's economic growth at the opening of a trade fair in hanover in a few minutes we report on how russia and germany are looking to boost business and talk about europe's financial troubles also ahead deadly sectarian violence in egypt as religious groups turn caro's main christian coptic if they drill into the latest battleground. of. technology innovation. developments

test site it comes after washington delayed its long planned missile test it made tension piling up at the korean peninsula then yang has been toughening its rhetoric recently threatening a preemptive strike nuclear strike on the u.s. and declaring a state of war with so the u.s. and south korea responded by sending warships and aircraft to the area as you expert tim bill says the north's harsh words are the only response it can give to america's threatening actions. these particular war exercises were burned in the largest ever we see the americans rolling out one frightening weapon system after another b. fifty two to be to the f. twenty two with the exception cetera so the real fear is that one of these days when americans will actually actually do it i mean these are exercises goes for the purpose of recognizing attacking north korea attacking invading north korea landing

1:24 am
while first locals fired weapons into the cathedral there were five people killed in four fools which is a town outside of cairo in sectarian writing four of those were christians and it was their funeral which was being held at the st mark's cathedral sectarian violence in egypt is nothing new it goes back decades so we have a combination of hardline religious activism and security forces by the standing by or actually getting involved themselves many mourners and many others feel that the muslim brotherhood and freedom and justice party government is encouraging an exclusive religious identity the basis of what it means to be an egyptian so this is the second consecutive night when we've seen violence in cairo on saturday the clashes resulted from a protest by the april sixth youth movement which was calling for a new more inclusive government and an opportunity to rewrite the constitution
