international news commentary and analysis this is augie with me to bomb would say let's take a look at the headlines and the main news of the. by the roadside bomb has killed at least nine people in afghanistan it's the latest in a series of violent of tags to hit the country meanwhile nato has still not claimed responsibility for the deaths of eighteen civilians including eleven children during a coalition is trying to over the weekend local officials say they had requested a nato bombing run against the taliban but a residential area was caught in the blast president because i strongly condemned the killings and banned afghan security forces will calling for in strikes support for the u.s. led operation is losing popularity among afghans ahead of the twenty fourteen coalition pullout in the country are g.'s granted to reports on how major's tactics are she two years own strategy in the float. 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 forces to washington specifically but he clearly understands that those civilian casualties steer more violence in afghanistan and undermine his government even further these are the types of attacks that infuriate the local population like the one who's supposed to 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 or the president karzai appears to be prepared to strike a deal he knows what kind of

a backlash it may have been of ghana's spent in order for u.s. troops to stay they need immunity from prosecution under the afghan war and that's with very good 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. in a separate incident over the weekend five americans including a diplomat were killed by a suicide bomber while they were delivering books into an afghan school men while the story made headlines in the u.s. media the killing of avg in civilian says often ignored a contemplates activist david swanson even though 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. 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 is any sort of progress or any sort of good being done it and they predictably killed far more innocent people than those alleged to be to be guilty of resistance to an illegal occupation. right news just in here on our team our grabs that former u.k. prime minister and the only female to eval hold the pose died this morning putting

a stroke at the age of eighty seven algy's andrew from a brings the insight on the life and the legacy awful woman known widely among her many admirers as the iron lady. whether viewed as a hero or villain margaret thatcher also known as the iron lady or simply maggie is a strong feelings she was one of the most influential forces on british politics in the twentieth century but her life had a humble beginning margaret roberts was brought up by a family of gross's in lincolnshire she was educated at the local grammar school graduated from oxford university as a chemist and later qualified as a barrister i am married husband denis in the early fifties but she found politics to be her true calling becoming a conservative m.p. for the north london district of finchley in one nine hundred fifty nine. the tory party seventy five and. the power she became britain's

prime minister but it wasn't. characterized. at number ten. the britain she inherited was in turmoil unemployment and inflation were rampant as was industrial unrest she tackled it with right wing money trees policies that became known as thatcherism state companies were privatized taxes were lowered public spending decreased and the trade unions before it had gone the russians said i was and i am legit. they're all right. the no nonsense policies brought down inflation but unemployment actually doubled and during her first term opinion polls showed she was britain's most unpopular prime minister ever but that was turned on its head by the handling of the full

planes war a year before the next general election argentina invaded the islands that she sent to british task force to get them back and victory bush did her popularity in time to win a second general election in one thousand nine hundred three. the second one was just as turbulent she survived an assassination attempt by the ira at a party political conference and her bitter battles with the unions continued miners went on strike for twelve months were eventually defeated by a prime minister who was again standing up for what she believed they were out to use their power to hold the nation to ransom it was that which searcher ism if you call it that. tried to stop on the international stage that she was a staunch supporter of us president reagan and back to america's bombing of libya in one thousand nine hundred six her attacks on communism had earned her the nickname the iron lady relations improved under reformist soviet leader mikhail

gorbachev famously saying we can do business together in one thousand nine hundred seven she won a third term to become britain's longest serving prime minister in one hundred years but eventually. after the introduction of the unpopular poll tax which led to nationwide protests. following that she resigned but she did remain active in politics gaining a seat in the upper hanks of parliament policies is still in place today and continue to influence contemporary politicians she will be remembered as one of the most dynamic yet controversial leaders of the twentieth century andrew farmer. riper means to have any fire and water cannon to disrupt

a mass protests on sunday present court in istanbul in turkey several hundred people a healthy on trial over an alleged plot to overthrow the government that's all trying to live up to rub his producer lizzy feel and find out the latest what's the problem to solve the protests. today i'm right now i'm currently standing in the prison compound in syllabary just an hour outside istanbul where the trial and ongoing trials is being continuing today and it's to try to teach huge opposition there's been thousands of people which have come since midnight last night in buses from across the country and extremely angry this is what you know one of the biggest trials that has ever gone on in turkey and today they've been trying essentially to storm the compound and they they got they managed to get through the barricades and obviously they you know this was expected because back in january when there were similar protests outside the court they also tried to

storm the compound so this time there was an anticipation from the riot police and the military police known as the movie that that would happen so they managed to break through the barricades and that was immediately met with water cannons they were drenched in water and it is not a warm day today and it was they were also several rounds of take. that succeeded in pushing them back behind the barricades and then they were now confined to a smaller space and what they essentially calling for is for the government the government to resign saying that these trials trials are a sign that the government has slipped in. and it is an extremely controversial process because we're talking about some three hundred plus people that have been for about five years without charge and these are high ranking military officials that have been arrested. very prominent journalists. prominent members of

parliament and heads of opposition parties and they many of them don't even know what they are actually being accused of i mean they know that being accused of being a member of an organization called. which the government says has been responsible for decades of violence as well as plotting to overthrow the government but many of the many of the opponents of this controls say that there's no even there's not even any evidence evidence that this organization called. actually exists and that some people say that this is almost like. of the war on terror whereby. hundreds of people are detained without charge essentially just to get rid of any opponents of the ruling party the a.k.p. party and i mean the main organizers of the protests today two political parties one which has members in parliament both of them have met members which are. going

to control so one of them is the republican people's party and the other one is the workers' party the head of which is detained. accused party of using the country as an excuse to detain people who oppose what they say is the a.k.p. dry to wither away the secularity of the turkish state and they also if you accuse the a.k.p. of using this process to detain anybody who is in opposition to what they see is the a k p's closeness to the united united states and of course a member of nato and that the workers' party is very much against membership of nato so is a dreamy controversial process is. very unclear what the outcome of this process is going to be the trial today has been again postponed they say until tomorrow so we can expect probably more protests to be taking place here. and from our lives we

feel and i'm sure we'll be following with you tomorrow as well the feeling there are up the producer giving us a full update on the mass of protests that's happening right now outside a prison court in istanbul the tricky. flooding we've put in is in germany promoting russia as a solid opportunity at a time of prolonged global economic turbulence the president's speech at the world's biggest industrial fair in hanover covered a range of key international issues from the cyprus bailout deal to tension on the korean peninsula artie's peter oliver has been listening in. president putin and chancellor angela merkel took the stage here at the house of a trade fair in a voice tone talked about some of the issues that they perhaps don't see eye to eye on cyprus is a major war and president putin saying that the way in which the recent similar period financial crisis was dealt with was really not acceptable that it shouldn't

be repeated in the future that private. private account holders should never be having their money taken to bail out the wrongs of the government n.g.o.s have been something of a a hot topic regarding germany and russia of late russia implemented some new laws that require n.g.o.s to register to meet putin again reiterating what he said and an interview with german television last week that the reason that it's n.g.o.s having to register was due to russia wanted to find out just where the financing that goes to these non-governmental organizations comes from and what it's been used for in fact with regard to not only most one billion dollars that it's being put into n.g.o.s operating in russia vladimir putin said well that should have been given to cyprus and that would have sold all of the country's problems and got them out of the financial maya that they find themselves in the hunt over trade for it's one of the biggest it's the biggest i believe in the world pardon it's the biggest trade fair in the world and there's plenty of things on display from all over the

globe while i'm glad i'm here putin were looking around there they were interrupted by a topless then protest of president putin taking a moment to well a few jokes ago about the protesters saying thanking the ukrainian feminist group for promoting the trade fair here and saying that well as much as he appreciated it it wasn't really the time or the place to be naked but one of the issues that both president putin and chancellor merkel agree on a whole heartedly is that the provocation from north korea. be stopped. we are against nuclear development and for the denuclearization of the whole korean peninsula we are very alone by the escalation there because we are neighbors and if something happens the catastrophe international will seem like a kid's fairy tale i think this trend does exist i'm calling on everyone to come

down sit at the negotiating table and solve all the problems which have piled up in recent years president putin there calling for calm over the going tensions being raised by north korea and their nuclear saber rattling. and staying with the tension on the korean peninsula seoul says another thread of its communist neighbor undertaking another nuclear test is not admin and that's after reports of increased activity at a north korean facility where three previous detonations took place of the latest instead green paling however did announce that suspending all work at the joint industrial zone with the south and pulling its work out washington delayed a missile test of its own searing it would unnecessarily provoke the north it has however brought forward the deployment of a missile defense system to guam the us totally in the pacific them at the heightened rhetoric the no that has unleashed a barrage of swathes laid the reaction to un sanctions and minutely exercises

between the south and america he declared war on seoul and threatened to strike the u.s. bases in the region this is an analyst glenn ford says and neither of the two koreas want to be perceived as weak. and we've seen a number of instances over the last few years where they've been trashed to create around there was a limit line at sea between north and south and in the current climate over trash like that could very easily escalate i don't think either side actually intends to start a military conflict the dangerous of these things can happen by accident started with you kim jong un actually it may evolve you know into satellite lord back in december then we have the nuclear test in february just before park going to hate the new south korean president took office we have a situation now where she certainly doesn't want to be seen as weak the same is true of kim jong il and so we're sort of escalation upwards and neither side seems

capable of actually looking at how they might deescalate from where we are now as the north koreans generally see that you actually screen the north koreans are always been asking for bilateral talks between between the united states in pyongyang washington and pyongyang rather than salt. because they say if you don't washington actually calling the shots you know ultimately so we've got to a situation we've probably not seen in terms of the dangers for you know several decades at least so i don't think it can get much worse and you start getting better as soon as possible. on the way a mutually assured of digital destruction israeli and arab hackers traipse lot of us sell those and a massive exchange of malware all the details in just a couple of minutes here on our team. well with. science technology innovation called the least developed from

around russia we've got the future covered. ten years ago but i was overtaking. ten years of political infighting terrorism and economic decay. chimes in iraq a rise. or fall of. our april ninth on our take.

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. thanks for staying with us you're watching our team police in israel and jordan have reported the arrest says several activists suspected of taking part in a massive cyber attack on israel thousands of sites have been disrupted by the digital barrage was several key israeli resources still down hackers say they'll continue their onslaught in retribution for what they call israeli crimes against arabs as archie's a regular school reports from tel aviv. well of the moment it does not seem like that israel has sustained any palpable damage to its infrastructure there were obvious hogs into the private accounts twitter facebook private accounts of israelis and that was actually probable when i saw a lot of a lot of 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 showering me with information which led to various up palestinian sites israel would know about this attack have claimed that they are prepared for it they have got into their data they actually have employed at least five thousand i.t. specialist 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 thought they'd be gawkers the anonymous groups that 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 this really occupation not only in gaza but also in all the arab and muslim world and as the first retaliation we committed a fast and full scale attack on israeli web sites 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 of the curious thing about this however is that it seems that these really hackers have been maybe perhaps even more effective than these. well the government when it came to stopping d.z.o.'s attacks they have also had some of the palestinian sites and put up a pro israeli messages on there as well as they have delivered the following address saying that for every one hundred conducted against israel there there will be a retribution of dozens similar on the person who conducts those hacking attacks so

it does seem like we're looking at sort of a beginning of a new stage this time it's going to be an internet stage in the standoff between palestine and israel israel itself has previously been accused of taking part in large scale cyber warfare destructing major projects are broad tell of even washington are wildly believed to have been responsible for unleashing the notorious stuxnet virus on cyber space three years ago now the malware dogood to the vital sectors of iran's digital network and even made its way into the system of nuclear enrichment labs and last year another virus nicknamed flame and a very striking similarity to stuxnet that was set loose on arab countries and also targeted iran from a m i five agent and he was showing believe the anonymous had heard tacks on israel pale in significance to stop a strike carried out by some government. it is very much measuring convenience 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 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 solidities but it's now out there in the world it can be used and abused and tasted by real for the criminals out there so what the u.s. and the israeli government to stop net is actually far more damaging than any protest movement trying to bring down certain websites in certain countries. david cameron who was meeting with his spanish kind of broad marianna

a whole way to promote his ideas of. these are the blog must change and give more flexibility does members as n.t.e.u. sentiment grows among voters back in the u.k. now for more on that let's not talk with robert oulds the director of the bridge group with think tag the promise of the idea of a less centralized europe most of all before we get into the strip of mr david cameron who has now subsequently returned back to the u.k. after the announcement of our ex prime minister margaret thatcher who has just posited today i want your thoughts on that it's very sad news. prof former prime minister margaret thatcher was of course the president of the blues group and she had an enormous effect on britain she changed britain arguably greatly for the better and really did change the world she put the great back into great britain and made us feel proud to be british again and it showed a different way of doing things she broke the former consensus in british politics

restore prosperity and also criticised the european union its drive to more centralization which has damaged many you states and of course undermined to our democracy throughout the year so she was a very influential figure she made people feel very proud to be british she had great deal to success in the falklands war when argentina tried to seize the british overseas territory of the falkland islands and her effect on britain was was enormous and books should be very greatly massively missed it's a very sad day indeed i want to talk a little bit of some of the points you said about margaret thatcher you said he made the english people feel very british and so forth but the legs are what mr cameron is trying to do isn't that he's now going to spain trying to talk to mr off why to some of his counterparts in germany as well as in france what do you make of this trip will all the e.u. leaders back him on this idea that he wants to pick and choose european laws to

adopt and not toward opt. well yes since margaret thatcher criticised the opinion of a british leaders have wanted to be like her tony blair wanted to get involved in poland overseas military adventures so he could be as successful as as margaret thatcher in foreign policy course hasn't really been very successful. prime minister david cameron of course wants to emulate margaret thatcher's effect with regarding the opinion course margaret thatcher was unfortunately removed from power after she criticized the because there were some in the party who wanted to return to the main tide within the european union was david cameron will i think be less successful than margaret thatcher margaret thatcher secured a rebate from the e.u. she got some of our money back from brussels ok let me ask you this the british prime minister said insult the support of the e.u. within the u.k. is a way for thing do you think that britain will see britain exiting the block in the

near future. i think so because other e.u. countries are not predisposed to want to give powers back to the u.k. they don't want special opt outs for britain they don't want the central a you institutions to hand back powers from the e.u. to the democratic column and in westminster he actually david cameron has actually few friends in europe that are willing to listen to him chancellor merkel in germany does not want to take part in his balance of competencies view which is a british government looking about what powers whitely or wrongly belong to the european union the judger they just don't want to support that home and found her said that a renegotiation is not going to be possible because that's all i would love to continue this conversation with you but as you know here well we're always tight on time news always have to go on but thank you very much for your insight and that very thoughtful message on margaret thatcher ernie allen thank you right up next

peter lavelle and his guests debate whether george w. bush and tony blair should be hailed small can't the killing of civilians during the invasion of iraq. more news today varla.
