seat night no apologies from nato for the killing of eighteen civilians most of them children during a coalition air strike in afghanistan also. something happens the catastrophe intrade noble will seem like a kid's fairy tale russia's president is on a trade trip to germany was the west against ratcheting up tensions on the korean peninsula saying peaceful talks of the only solution. deadly car bomb near a damascus school hypes fears that targeting civilians is become a part and parcel of the syrian conflict now. britain's first and only female prime minister margaret thatcher has died after a stroke takes a look at the legacy of the iron lady was both loved and love in her life.

hello there very good evening if you just joined us is kevin over here live at the r.t. new center tonight just a tad after nine pm now and first a roadside bomb has killed at least nine people in afghanistan it's the latest in a series of violent attacks to hit the country meanwhile nato still not claimed responsibility for the death of a team civilians including eleven children during a coalition air strike over the weekend it's going to take us more correspondent r.t. to go piskun off either we go it's not the first time women or children have been killed we're hearing reports time and again. it's sad news how's it being greeted on both sides. well nato is still looking into what exactly happened the afghan authorities have condemned the death of these women and children and unfortunately this isn't the first time that we're hearing these news president karzai personally ordered all afghan troops not to call for airstrikes he's pleaded with the united states and the alliance to stop targeting populated areas to stop killing civilians

and throughout the years it's estimated that around twenty thousand civilians lost their lives in afghanistan this is a very sensitive matter of for the country and many of these lost lives are connected with airstrikes in fact the u.n. acknowledges that every year the amount of killed children and women arises and here are just a couple of examples just from last year february two thousand and twelve seven children and young adults killed in an air strike me two thousand and twelve six children and two women from the same family killed in an airstrike july september and the list really goes on and these are only airstrikes and only cases which have been confirmed by need to while they're also drawn strikes a reads and while many other cases where there are unfortunately casualties and of course we go coalition forces say they're ready to pull out in twenty forty as well if they do and how much they pull out how does that give effect the security

situation this is a very complicated question for the united states and for afghan authorities if the americans do want to stay in afghanistan after two thousand and fourteen they'll need some sort of guarantees that they won't be prosecuted under afghan law and the or losing trust from the local population well if it could be called that way since the locals are pretty much outraged at this point. for all of these casualties but it's not only that without going to for authorities themselves on. losing this trust and actually the taliban are actually gaining this trust and all of this is definitely connected to all of these innocent lost lives actually i think of president karzai clearly understands this that with each innocent lost life the trust that he still may have from the local population decreases because can offer correspondent thank you. when

a separate incident over the weekend five americans including a diplomat were killed by a suicide bomber while they were delivering books to an afghan school while the story made headlines in the u.s. media the killing of afghan civilians is often ignored according to peace activist david swanson 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 not burst 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. 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 bead on it and they predictably kill far more innocent people than those alleged to be to be guilty of resistance to an illegal occupation. russia's president as well but any further escalation between south and north korea could have catastrophic global consequences put him a putin spoke at the world's biggest industrial fair in hanover peter often was there to this new. president putin then chancellor angela merkel took the stage here at the house of a trade fair in one of the issues that both president putin and chancellor merkel agree on a whole heartedly is that the provocation from north korea must be stopped and. something happens the catastrophe entered mobile will seem like a kid's fairy tale i think this threat does exist but i'm calling on everyone to

calm down sit at the negotiating table and solve the problems which is piled up in recent years the hano the trade for one of the biggest it's the biggest i believe in the world beg your pardon it's the biggest trade fair in the world and there's plenty of things on display from all over the globe but while. i'm glad i'm here putin we're looking around there they were interrupted by a topless then protester. 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 all the place to be naked well they voiced 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 cypriot 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. so that the threat of its communist neighbor undertaking another nuclear test is not imminent that south reports of increased activity at the north korean facility were previously three detonations and taken place the latest of which in february no yang sent letters to foreign embassies to asking stuff to leave before a possible attack this wednesday the north has unleashed a barrage of threats lately indeed reacting to un sanctions and military exercises between south korea and the u.s. washington delayed a missile test of its own on sunday fearing it would unnecessarily provoke people here and it has however though brought forward the deployment of a missile defense system to u.s. territory pacific political analyst now bowie thinks america's actions like north korea's threats though look justified didn't want to make it seem like it was

provoking north korea but if it really had that intention it wouldn't have flown the b. two bombers nuclear capable bombers it would have sent an f. twenty two stealth fighters to north korea. it is they do nothing to improve the situation to escalate hostilities and i think ultimately it creates animosity and it allows the king james version of treaty saudi power because it effects of the generalizes the rhetoric that the united states is of course in nuclear war on the insulin so i think cool heads really must prevail in this situation and i think russia and china i think it's high time they put the incentives on more and more pressure on dialogue and bringing the parties concerned to the table as it's really getting to the situation where it's going to be very problematic statistics indians . new revelations from wiki leaks next has the pub website publishes an unprecedented number of u.s. diplomatic records described by the sides and it's doing

a science is the most significant geo political publication ever as to where that and with kristen happens in the spokesman for the whistleblowers website joining us live from our washington studio hi there kristin and these documents are several decades old why there is wiki leaks interested in them the history well we can use this is dedicated to bringing historical records to the public attention when there is an attempt to keep them hidden although these documents have been declassified excuse dreamy difficult to approach them and assess them in their current form of the only year in the national archives so what we did was to gather together with help and publish them in a searchable database a very robust database and merge them with the two hundred fifty thousand u.s. diplomatic cables that we published under the cable gate. extremely important to have these olds in the public domain so end of the day what's in them anything or shattering. well i mean we are working with eighteen media partners who have been

working in. ploughing stories in the database and they are publishing stories as we speak and i've already published material that has been the great interest in the hindu for example bring forth a story that rajiv gandhi was involved in a. shady arms deals with sweden cetera et cetera so this is off the interest i mean there are people there that actually are still in the political arena that are mentioned there so this is not that long ago this is in from the period one nine hundred seventy three to one nine hundred seventy six a very interesting period in our contemporary history where a lot of things was happening in the cold war and in the emergence of new nations etc christian what kind of response to make spec from washington i mean as you said these are not strictly speaking classified anymore but you kind of collated them all together to make them easier to get hold of is washington talk uncertain about any of this. well i haven't heard of any response from the authorities

here in washington of course they should be very pleased that we're doing the job that they should be doing themselves we're doing a public interest so maybe we should apply for some funds and continue his work from the us government and they should actually focus on one tension of supporting over a concert or continuing that is unprecedented and relentless is an attempt to prosecute julian or sons' and all the members of that we can use team if he says he's being hounded by the u.s. government the first true could these latest revelations make it washington even more determined to see him beyond bars do you think. well i mean this is the this is from a shoe that belongs to the public and it would be hard for them to say that we have somehow violated some laws but they might actually try that of course or we are being hounded the. investigating into weekly so that has been going on now for years of unprecedented scale it has been admitted and. australian diplomats have

reported back to the country that has surfaced in formation or that were made available through freely from ation act and you know forty two thousand documents had already been gathered in the this interview in this occasion one a year ago so it is of prison the scale christine a final thought where does wiki leaks go from here at a recent press conference you called for the leaks of more documents but of course since your organization has been around security is being tightened up as well so you've got to show itself in the foot of it. no i mean that is that always a means to get information to us and what we are showing as well today is how would the organisation is able to to process in a very inefficient manner huge cache of documents we're talking about two million documents that there is in a search a performant made very easily available in the user friendly manner to the general public this of course is the background work that we've been working on and shows

that we are ready for more leaks and. we'll continue our work we should read it with interest christian have recently spokesman thank you for the time tonight. coming up on the program with me kevin oh in turkish police crackdown on a mass protest outside of prison near a stop bowl where hundreds wrong trial over alleged plot to overthrow the government we've got the story. world. science technology innovation all the least of elements from around russia we've got the future covered wealthy british style it's time to. find. the. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global

economy in these kinds of reports on. the book about international airport in the very heart of moscow. and this is our take margaret thatcher former u.k. prime minister and the only female to have a hold the post has started today after

a stroke at the age of eighty seven spoke to the former personal interpreter of many solve it leaders. thread who gave his recollections of the late prime minister to. i do have one vivid memory of. prime minister sartre which dates back to nineteen eighty five when the then leader of the soviet union karen enco died and she came to moscow for his funeral and he was replaced of course by mr mikhail gorbachev before that he met with him as prime minister and she was the first leader in the world to say after her meeting with mr gorbachev who at that point was a second or third ranking person in the party hierarchy and mrs thatcher is famous for having said you can do business with mr gorbachev so when

she came for the food or of mr turton and co she had a one on one meeting with mr gold with her all and you know i remember this very vividly as if it had happened just yesterday when she saw him in the office in the kremlin her face lit up and our eyes sparkled you know i had a feeling and i still have that she was in rapture right mr gorbachev and lady was something that came from the from the russian side as well something that she loved to coin let's just listen in to margaret thatcher a second when she was using that. infamous iconic phrase as it is now the russians said that i was an iron lady. they were knights. of the of. britain needs an iron lady but she took it as praise i'm not sure

initially park in one nine hundred seventy six the turmoil lady was actually meant as praise was it of course not. that was a huge blunder. which played right into the hands of the iron lady because they wanted by using that phrase they actually wanted somehow to belittle her but she took it not only took it you know stride it became her catch word phrase. well join to contribute ration returns is talk a little bit more about this he's in london hi there i should even cheer margaret churchill the name iron lady as we've just been hearing there for a strong leadership what lessons did britain learn and i recall working at a local radio station in south wales back in eighty four the height of the miners' strike and i know how she was viewed by the miners there then nevertheless she's left a huge legacy hasn't she what's britain learning to this day from it what's it brought

forward and embracing. what i would have time for you kevin back there in the miners' strike that's certainly one of the pivotal moments of the twentieth century as we can look back on it as for what's happening right now well her body is at the ritz hotel belonging to the barclay brothers the millionaire barclay brothers but of course the attitude of the british people to a very mixed or maybe it isn't because she deliberately and from a principled stand as she saw it deliberately laid this country into something that wasn't after the one hundred forty five world war two post world war two consensus and what inadvertently perhaps she would say is what she did is to make this country more and more divided and now up to ninety nine percent maybe younger generations of british people don't remember that britain was more of a one nation they weren't so many gated communities and so for the images that are ruthlessly used her ideas which came from theoretical ideas hajek and so on milton

friedman but they need to be fitted in with the washington consensus we mustn't forget she was elected very shortly after the british government of jim callaghan was in hock to the i.m.f. and world bank her first term was it mrs thatcher was of the i.m.f. and world bank it was running economic policy what she was doing neatly fitted in to a particular structure and a particular elite structure in britain that matched different types of wishes and desires so that we would end up with asset stripping on such a large scale and the mass sell off of of success one of them being a place. and the being a place of she was around now for her government is she the kind of character that you'd need a strong leadership in government now maybe to write some of britain's current problems. without doubt she's out there massive effect perhaps the biggest effect is on the parliament i remember watching her before bollman was televised in the

house of commons and obviously this generation of parliamentarians watch what problems brulee watch your videos because they follow her policies the opposition labor party of tony blair of ed miliband let alone the party of david cameron they're much more to the extreme right of his is that your reference is that you're a socialist compared to the present people in the british parliament but she of course he said that huge influence as to whether they can learn anything the tide is completely turned. in the taxpayers' hands and the talk is of nationalisation after the massive failure of the kind of blip some may look upon it thousand years from now of this new liberal idea of a nation of shareholding a shareholding democracy as we all now realise what it is to concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands and ultimately cause division that was dangerous to the stability of the nation itself afshin thanks for being with us tonight russian

returns here. car bombs exploded in the syrian capital killing at least fifteen people and wounding over one hundred forty more the attack happened near the headquarters of the central bank on a busy road in damascus the blast caused extensive damage to buildings and was followed by an intense barreled shotgun fire it is the latest in a series of car bomb attacks in the capital the most recent one killing fifty three people in february it comes as pro-government forces continue their major push to force rebel militias out of the strongholds across the country their money locks and writer a german reporter who specializes in syria spoke to us about this is said that targeting civilians in the capitals become a common tactic now for rebel fighters. they are not in the military they are not even the security forces they are civilians in our case today a special case they very mean children the car bomb exploded right in front of a school where a lot of children were among the dead people are also children the tactics is to

short to show that there is no more spot any more safe and to show the civilians who are to to let them feel the fear and the panic that the rebel forces that the so-called free syrian army is in charge from where indicated do what they want we are in the west always from the media that the regime the so-called rich beem is aiming the population this is what we hear nonstop the reality is what chills the bomb explosion of today right the other way the rebel forces are pushing on the civilians and they are of panic and then terrorists are infiltrating the cities and of course they are not just the taking the central bank like today but also very important to see billion sports like electricity stations schools. the stations and so on so you see it's hard for the government to secure every square metre of the city from terrorist attacks while the u.s.

military has admitted the number of detainees a hunger strike could go and tell them obey now is a good reason it officially stands at forty one but lawyers for the captives claim hundred thirty of them have been starving themselves for more than two months now the protests were spot where the military guards are measurably mishandled the personal qur'an of the captives rather detainees more than half of them cleared for release years ago a furious had been held indefinitely without charge lawyers say some of their clients are now close to death but the military maintains it won't let anyone die in its force feeding some of the inmates. please so fired tear gas water cannon to disrupt a mass protest outside of prison court near istanbul in turkey several hundred people were held there on trial over an alleged plot to overthrow the government the details now from roughly producer lizzy feelin. there's been thousands of people which have come since midnight last night in buses from across the country and extremely angry so they managed to break through the barricades and that was

immediately met with water cannons they were drenched in water and it's not a warm day today and also several rounds of take gas were fired upon them and that that succeeded in pushing them back behind the barricades and then they were confined to a smaller space and what they essentially calling for is for the government the turkish 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 people that have been trained for about five years without charge and these are high ranking military officials that have been arrested very prominent journalists many permanent 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 again a car which the government says has been responsible for decades of violence

as well as plotting to overthrow the turkish government but many of the many of the opponents of this controls say that there's no even there's not even any evident evidence that this organization called. actually exists and that some people say that this is almost like version of 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 to a.k.p. party it's extremely controversial process it's 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 again tomorrow. as you feel in reporting the first come out exactly twenty six minutes past nine at night moscow time it's a monday night sport with a full weekend round up after the break.

you know i always try to stay clear of falling into the trap of fake outrage on this program people love to come on t.v. and be angry over this and angry over that just to fill air time but trust me seeing obama signing into law with that wacky lobster like way he has of writing the bill marked the month santo protection act well it does not put a smile on my face that's for sure not only does this bill effectively bar federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of g.m.o. seeds and crops no matter what the health concerns are according to ib times but the bill was also written by senator roy blunt who's gotten sixty four thousand dollars for his political campaign pain from the g o giant monsanto itself so that's what it costs to allow companies to possibly poison millions if not all americans with risky and proven g.m.o. technology sixty four thousand dollars that's not even enough to buy

hello welcome to the all t.v. sports show another weekly roundup of sporting action from russia and around the world with me kate partridge and here's what's coming up. the army marches on and says god be vulgar to kneel to stay eight points clear at the top of the russian premier league with seven matches left to go. plus a family values the biathlon season ends in style for one russian family with brother and sister taking gold in the moscow race of champions. and off and down to scott cruz into the year in a glass date as group winners but he bowed out after losing it defending champions and the p.r. costs. a lot less with the kick off with russian footballers tesco mosco maintained their eight point lead at the top of the premier league with a two no way at home to struggling volga because of him but top off brings us all

the weekend action. i do first call goes in five minutes at the illusion to steady and were enough to seal any sloot man beat wall and clinch their fifth rate league win often elway in the visitors keep it the night it was more sounds freekick might go if was quickest to the rebound then five minutes later it was deja vu these time wagner lost bonds to nat his third in four matches but the brazilian managed to get moved twice in stoppage time and if he went it didn't affect the final score to nil as the army go marching on towards their first title in seven years. i too was defending champions in it still lead the chasing back up to edging struggling criticize the other one meal at that bitter osca stadium strike a halt arguably dive to earn a shot from the sport and the brazilian left the goalkeeper no chance which honest ballot is man extended their winning streak to three.
