afghanistan coalition officials admit carrying out an airstrike in the coun our province on the border with pakistan but hasn't yet confirmed the deaths the major u.s. and afghan operation was supposed to target senior taliban commanders but the civilian deaths are likely to stoke the main source of tension between afghan leaders and foreign forces in february president karzai told his troops not to call for airstrikes and demanded that nato avoided hitting populated areas the attacks are also deeply resented by the afghan public and i've even seen taliban support grow. looks at how 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 al. it

forces to washington specifically but he clearly understands that those civilian casualties there are more violence in afghanistan and undermine his government even further these are the types of attacks that infuriate the local population like the one he 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 airstrikes 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 teen although president karzai is appears to be prepared to strike a deal he knows what kind of a backlash it may have been of ghana's then in order for u.s. troops to stay they need immunity from prosecution under the afghan law and that's what they were negotiating now the deadly strikes killing civilians certainly make it hard for the afghans to accept such a deal and allow foreign forces to further operate there with impunity well the
4:03 am
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 bull david swanson peace activist and the author of war is alive he says the u.s. 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 numbers but 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 a decade the debate going on is how many u.s.
4:04 am
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 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 being done it and they predictably kill far more innocent people than those alleged to be to be guilty of resistance to an illegal occupation that r.t. dot com you can tell us what do you think the consequences will be of this latest deadly as strike in afghanistan so far almost half of you think that 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 how made cars eyes hand will be forced and he will have to ban nato airstrikes while the remaining few believe the date for nato troops to leave
4:05 am
will be brought forward you can have your say by heading to partake dot com another nato led campaign method thousands of civilians were killed was of course a rag cross talk in the next hour asif it's time for those who sanctioned that invasion 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 in 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 bush and blair killed probably hundreds of thousands of people the problem that we have in
4:06 am
international affairs is that sometimes autocracies are not aggressive and sometimes democracies are very aggressive. israeli enjoy deigning authorities have reportedly arrested several activists suspected of taking part in a large scale cyber attack on israel government signs were disrupted in the attack with the knesset website still is disputing government claims that there were no lasting effects. he's in tel aviv. well what it does not seem like that israel has stained any palpable damage to its infrastructure and we're talking about billions of dollars in term of financial damage so we have to wait and see until the business day actually gets underway at least here and tel aviv of course there have been some sites which were down including some of the governmental sites there were obvious hogs into the private accounts twitter facebook private accounts of
4:07 am
israelis and that was actually probable when i saw a lot of a lot of the spam you can see coming from most of these really counts some of which i had no idea even existed and they were all just information which led to various up palestinian sites israel knew about this attack have claimed that they are prepared for and they have according to their data they actually have employed at least five thousand i specialised in order to prevent the d.d. o. s. attacks of having an effect but it does seem like those preventative measure measures have actually somewhat failed now we do know of course that the palestinian hackers they have. the anonymous groups and they have promised not to stop just here and by all indications this seems to be just the beginning of their cyber warfare. we are the sons of palestinian people and we feel the pressure of the israeli occupation not only in gaza but also in the arab and muslim world and as the first retaliation we committed to fast and full scale
4:08 am
attack on israeli web sites to warn israel in 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 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 larger surprise that the curious thing about this however is that it seems that these really harker's have been maybe perhaps even more effective than the israeli government when it came to stopping their d.d. o. s. attacks they have also helped some of the palestinian sides and put up pro israeli messages on there as well as they have delivered the following address saying that for every one hundred conducted against israel there will be
4:09 am
a retribution of dozens similar hacks on the person who conducts those hacking attacks so it does seem like we're looking at sort of a beginning of a new state this time it's going to be an internet stage in the standoff between palestine and israel. while israeli defense forces have previously admitted being engaged in cyber activity consistently and relentlessly to disrupt enemy projects which target the country's military and government along with the us are widely believed to be behind the stuxnet virus which made waves across cyberspace several years ago the program got into iran's natanz nuclear facility infecting the software which regulates the nuclear equipment it sent fake readings about its state damaging as many as a thousand centrifuges there the subsequent flame virus which contained some of the same code is in it has been among the largest most sophisticated malware of its kind iranian officials admit the virus damaged their computers and access personal

information and thousands of machines mostly across the middle east are believed to have been infected former m i five agent and shown believes the recent attacks on israel pale in significance to 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 us and israeli governments committed an act of cyber terrorism when they attacked the iranian nuclear production facility is when they released the stuxnet virus now this is a 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

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 so in russia as a good investment president putin highlights the country's economic growth at the opening of a trade fair in hannover in a few minutes so 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 cairo's main christian coptic cathedral into the latest battleground. technology innovation. developments around russia. the future

happening at the european parliament it's supposed to be democratic but it's not at all representative of what the people of the european union think there is a very strong proportion of people who are generally model and these people are not represented by the european parliament so i think that electing the success of resentment of el dorado is not a screen it's to make people believe that there will be an increase in democracy but in fact the mortal the economic model the truth is killing democracy my. and you can catch our full interview with marine le pen at six forty five pm to. protests have once again erupted in cairo this time outside the city's main cathedral a mob threw rocks and five birdshot as several hundred christians who were marching against egypt's islamic government which they seems a failing to protect them one person is being killed and around sixty injured the
