with china and japan already brought in a territorial row over a group of islands in the east china sea now a new dispute is flaring up beijing's calling for a review of the oaken now islands which are home to major u.s. military bases and tens of thousands of american troops the people's daily considered a mouthpiece of china's communist party all but laid claim to the archipelago in a article written by academics tokyo quickly head back to nam see the paper as a political tool declaring his ownership of okinawa was beyond doubt james corbett who's the editor of a japan based news website told us china's aim is to pressure japan into making concessions elsewhere. it is at the very least an interesting new development in the territorial dispute and obviously meant to at least increase pressure on japan over the the disputed senkaku islands which is another part of this territorial dispute that's going on but in terms of okinawa itself it's been within the

japanese sphere of influence for at least the last four hundred years now but of course this brings up the fundamental issue of all of this which is china is trying to argue that it has historical claims over the okinawa islands japan has these formal claims that it's set up in a major era back in the eighteenth seventy's but it's this group completely excluded from this is the fact that of course there is an ethnic indigenous population in okinawa who are the ones who are completely forgotten in all of this and are being used as pawns as they have had to suffer through basically imperial regime after imperial regime and now it's basically a site for u.s. military bases and japan i think is going to be more or less a spectator in this i don't think that they have the ability to really stop china from making these types of claims it's just a question of if and when this would actually spill into a military confrontation with a huge u.s. military presence in washington's interests are also at stake in this new

territorial dispute between beijing and tokyo dot com alan is a columnist for foreign policy in focus he says china's move may be a challenge america's asian focus right now. i think it's a couple of things going on one is that the chinese are very very disturbed about the the asia pivot on the part of the obama administration you what they see is that the united states has now moved sixty percent or is in the process of moving sixty percent of their own forces into the pacific region so they find that very disturbing and there was a standoff with the but the clinton administration in the late ninety's in which the chinese had to back down from and they don't want to be in that position again so so part of this is a backdrop is is that this is a way of kind of challenging their asia pivot but they're basically saying to washington is don't push us don't come into our waters i do sing as

well there isn't any kind of drive a wedge to a certain extent between japan and the united states only denied states certainly wants a war with china which japanese are being a bit more aggressive on this the trainees are pushing the the envelope just a little bit to see if the u.s. will back off a little bit on its support of g.p.m. so far that hasn't happened but but a possibility in the future. coming up very shortly it's not a program the u.s. dishes out the dollars for israeli defense spending hundreds of millions on that and the missile system despite criticism but it's not as effective as it's being presented that's still ahead plus. these workers in northern greece on to something a failed factory others though are taking control of the plants to try and keep going join me tomball to nazi for a look inside the crisis in greece in just a few minutes. but next there's a growing spot within the european union of

a so-called benefit to as a four member states are calling for a curb on welfare payments to e.u. citizens making claims outside their home country austria germany the netherlands and the u.k. all say this growing pressure on an already crisis it benefits system of his political report. have you had the one about the dutchman the german the austrian and the englishwoman going to the european commission and asking for cubs on migration within the e.u. it's not a joke it actually happened holland germany austria and the u.k. say that they're concerned about the pressure being put on their public services as a result of so-called benefits terrorism so they've written a letter to the european commission asking for help in making it harder for freshly arrived e.u. migrants to access public services such as schools hospitals and accommodation the move comes just seven months before labor restrictions a lifted and the e.u.'s newest members remain ian ball garia are allowed to live

and work freely anywhere within the european union brussels response to the letter has been lukewarm they want to see evidence that this so-called benefits terrorism actually exists to talk about the issue i'm joined by her be brockman from the joint council for the wealth of immigrants thank you very much for joining us do you think there is the threat of all this pressure being put on public services in the u.k. let me tell you first this isn't a phobia on share mad because i didn't suggest otherwise we nor the two million. nationals came to this country and only thirteen thousand of them out of two million claimed job seekers allowance we know that for the health service that we have got a hundred billion pound the budget for a national health service and only ten to twenty million pounds where recouped

from european nationals so this is a more. backed by evidence the evidence is there if this is a myth propagated by the media then why are the politicians over four key western european countries so concerned about it you see the politicians are pandering to the response to. and publicans i to get some tivo but if we want to have a harmonized economy we want everyone's betterment. then we should want two words not protectionism heavy brachman thank you very much for your comments well there you have it the free movement directive one of the pillars the founding pillars of the european union but it looks like at the moment some key western countries are uniting together against a united europe. london well we're talking about the u.k. it's also under pressure for it's a sturdy drive right now branded by trade unions as a last generation of growth for the country olds too with the international

monetary fund with warnings that belt tightening must be eased spoke the national secretary the socialist workers party says the government needs to rethink its priorities in dragging the country out of the doldrums. six strawberry that the international monetary fund which is the high priests of neoliberalism who have imposed a stereotype as part of the troika along with the european union in the european central bank across the continent even they are now turning osborne that his economic policies are a complete failure and they're causing a heart attack for the economy with no growth with unemployment rising and with social chaos caused by these policies and there are more and more people who are completely fed up with these a stereotype policies which are attacking people's living standards while at the same time at the other pole of society the very very rich grow ever richard the reality is that the attempts to cut the deficit have caused the economy to come to

a halt and what we need is to completely change the priorities we need to stop the imperial adventures in afghanistan and the talk of more involvement in syria we need to stop the trident nuclear program and we need to take the power away from the wealthy people at the top of society and start putting people first not profits more thoughts on economic heart failure the cause report nine hundred thirty g.m.t. tonight as well as a tip too for women on how their skin met reflect the markets true. it's a girl band and they're aged between seventeen and twenty three their theme is that if the stock market the need goes lower their skirts go lower towards the ground if the stock market goes higher they shorten their skirts that's their schtick so when the stock market the nikkei i recently went over thirteen thousand for the first

again the u.s. says it plans to push further to get israel and palestine to the negotiating table with secretary state john kerry following another trip to the middle east but the peace efforts are not stopping washington from spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the israeli military including funding that. missile shield on his paulus lee it's been hearing from the people who say the defense system just isn't worth it. the brains behind the iron dome is radie but the funding is mostly american born the americans. assistance it solves the discussion and offered their assistance they have washington recently pledged an additional six hundred eighty million dollars for the point to intercept a system that advocates claim has a success rate of more than eighty percent you know the numbers i've seen the results and. even obama has gotten in on the act his first stop at a recent trip to israel was to an iron dome battery where he told soldiers they're

doing an amazing job because so much money has been spent on this defense missile system it now means to be marketed and sold otherwise how do you justify something that has already cost the american taxpayer millions of dollars but for all its height the iron dome which is designed to intercept and destroy short range rockets aimed at populated areas is not foolproof i have a lot of question marks questions that include the system's effectiveness weapons experts new united states and even in israel say the i.d.f. has why the overstated its intercept success rate by a factor of ten or more you can see very clearly that the addict like this that it's impossible to get a warhead work. so you've. destroyed eighty four percent of the incoming orchids the celebrated technological wonder exploded onto the international stage after last year's israel gaza war but the math did not add up

it proved disproportionately expensive as a defense against crude homemade palestinian rockets and. militants there are assembling these rockets which cost about one hundred dollars to make. which are very little more than than a pipe with an explosive to propel it forward. and they aren't going rockets. actually cost fifty thousand dollars. each bucket so shooting two rockets to intercept one. of the amounts makeshift ramps a makeshift rockets would cost a thousand times more than the cost of the rocket that is being intercepted but the i.d.f. has good reason to mislead the world about its effectiveness not only to taxpayers once you know the money is being well spent but enemies need to be deterred especially gaza militants firing at israel's southern border city of stuart it's not very solution even more they develop their own to defend the war that was.

the only area the can not defend is they were given the history of missile defense to steps in and the strong israeli incentive to deceive the people who pay for the system should be asking hard questions about how well it really works policy r.t. tel aviv cover stories online tonight reporting about an inferno in eastern russia a cargo train turned into a massive fireball there are fifty fuel tankers the rails for thousands of people evacuated from their homes in the area of the dot com for more on this ongoing incident also to shedding light on last year's deadly assault on the american envoy in libya after a u.s. official claims that washington rejected desperate calls from its diplomats on the fire line dream. as the city is often the mother of invention nothing will stand in the way of some workers endeavor to make a living as we've been finding out god's great pictures coming up even nature's

best efforts couldn't get in the way is out isn't it a culture with a story. it really seems like one collab just look at the q there are so many people there and amazingly they're not just standing there for a bus right there actually crossing the river using these to ask invaders so for some it can be have a traffic and for others to have a way now let me give you some details on what is actually happening that this video was shot at the end of march in the north of the you will mountains and as you can see the area is flooded and it also seems that there is going to be a bridge build there in the future but for now people still have to cross it somehow and it seems they found a way better call it an adrenaline right now you've got one ask evader loaded with three sometimes even more people now it means the other one half way people climb from one ask a vader to be other it all looks rather dangerous but look at the people they seem

quite pleased with themselves anyway when this video first appeared on the internet it went viral was so many comments and very few people were actually concerned about the fate of the passengers some even labeled this video as another example of how russians can be resilient and resourceful well it's really hard to argue with that watching this footage. back of a commute to work though in the right twenty past nine and i know some top stories in brief to bring it up to speed with clashes between police and the testament students were rather chilly but nearly one hundred thousand people turning out to demand a fair education system right eunice in santiago used tear gas and water cannon to push back the activists though students have been venting their anger at the government over affordable public education since the eleven. nine u.s. military bases can remain in afghanistan after troops pull out in twenty fourteen according to president karzai but he added however that washington will have to

a desperate after twenty two months without pay they receive food aid from unions and solidarity movement they guard the stock and the plant seeing it is their only way to start earning money again despite the owner's threats but with the law stacked against workers in crisis torn greece few dare try the same this more the general picture i mean i don't think i'm going to see huge movement to forgive someone to take over the octopus for these workers though this is an economic loss down and they're trying nothing less than to change greek law to recognize the concept of self management in order to legally sell their products and when i ask them they have a message for the owners after myself and that if they abandon us here it disappeared so i have nothing to say to them they prefer to pay for these trials instead of paying our salaries. aleck ross and his coworkers don't see themselves as revolutionaries instead they thought predicament is

declare themselves the official conspiracy theories that's silly obviously it isn't good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing but on the other hand if you never question what the glowing box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker the kind of sucker who bought that there were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt in one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it's pearcey theories are a matter of belief but actually they're completely a matter of facts and there's a lot of good evidence to support a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a reptile in from the cosmos yeah you might want to just stay away from that one but that's just my opinion.
