news live from moscow. thank you for joining the program today israel's prime minister of russia for talks with president putin and the latest in a string of international meetings focusing on the syrian crisis comes in the wake of. the syrian capital. russia's black sea resort of sochi where the. the biggest problems between russia in israel right now relating to syria are moscow's shipments of the ass three hundred air defense systems to damascus which is doing under arms deal signed a long time ago and the jewel recent airstrikes over a syrian territory allegedly conducted by israel which is still hasn't officially confirmed but hasn't officially rejected either one of the as three hundred systems

could only be used for defense purposes and to their ship and don't violate international agreements then clearly an airstrike of a country of another state sovereign territory definitely does but what we're seeing here now and benjamin than internationals visit to sochi clearly illustrates that these stumbling blocks are currently being set aside sort of for a greater cause and that is finding ways to finally establish peace in syria these really prime minister is definitely the not the first official to come to russia to discuss syria recently first it was john kerry u.s. secretary of state who came to moscow then british prime minister david cameron fools who came here to sort and then went on to the u.s. to speak with american officials now it's benjamin netanyahu we're also expecting. u.n. secretary general ban ki moon to come here to sort you also to syria as well and

all of this perhaps shows that we are witnessing a change of the approach by many countries since most western states since the beginning of the problem were clearly standing on the side of the rebels while what we're seeing now are efforts to get both the syrian authorities and the opposition to finally sit down at the negotiation table and. discuss ways to establish peace in the country which russia has been calling for basically since the beginning of the conflict in syria. go to school of reporting that all israel is one of the countries with the most to gain from a fast resolution to the syrian conflict it's already being affected by the spillover from the crisis but some believe it only has itself to blame as our middle east correspondent paula now explains. it's a new offer and stand here so that they have to think not one or two like they have

to think one hundred times a day you know what to do with guns armed men that have been given the green light to fire into israel retaliated by damascus patel of its attack last week israeli officials have still not gone on record admitting they carried out to a strikes in forty eight hours but most people here are certain they did and damascus is certain of it it didn't mince its words calling israel's actions a declaration of war the criticism echoes in israel as well out citizens took to the streets to protest and while divided over the support of the side they are clear on one thing israel's actions are wrong jobber sol is a twenty four year old university student despite being some two hundred fifty kilometers from syria his heart is with its people. israel gives itself permission to attack other countries but does not accept any other country doing the same or whether this strike cannot be legitimate and israel should be judged in

international. but far from being judged israeli support the actions of the government to be very frank i don't think that if we would have to do. for you we would've. remember even. i think. it's a very small element on a very long. problematic relationship between israel and syria but it might just catch up with the israelis assad says he's borders are open for palestinians wishing to take military action against the jewish state a sure sign some say that tel aviv has shot itself in the foot. has lost. never had. under tactics no official israeli policy is to prevent. the dogs.

i wonder if this is love. i doubt it very much and some in israel fear the violence will stop at the border after they finish getting. the go ahead to haifa. to. deliver. them as what was once israel's most peaceful border threatens to become its newest battlefront paula c.r.t. television. meanwhile a video purporting to show syrian rebels mutilating bodies has led human rights watch to condemn them for descending into sectarian violence and revenge killings the footage allegedly shows the founder of a rebel brigade cutting open the chest of a soldier and biting the exposed heart the man is reportedly heard swearing to eat the hearts and lives of the soldiers of bashar the dog more on this disturbing video on the reaction from human rights activist so you can just log on to our

website www dot com. live from moscow it's artsy at the u.s. justice department has admitted to spying on associated press reporters a.p. condemned the sweeping phone surveillance as an invasion of privacy and a threat to the freedom of the press guy nature can has more on the story and its implications. the u.s. justice department secretly obtained two months of telephone records targeting a.p. reporters and editors work and personal phone numbers if you believe more than one hundred of its journalists may have been caught up in this surveillance sweep the

a.p. boss called it a massive and unprecedented intrusion into how news organizations operate the justice department acknowledged having spied on a.p. journalists but would not say why it sought the records they cited an ongoing investigation a peace process and said the government stalked and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation now the guess is that the investigation had to do with a.p. is reporting on a cia operation in yemen last year and the government's possible hunt for leaks the administration's unprecedented leaks has had an enormous chilling effect on investigative journalism and. organizations here told me that isn't it's never been as hard for them to do their job as it is now because sources that they had previously communicated with now either don't return their calls or say out front that they'd rather not talk they can go to jail obama in the situation has brought up more cases against whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined now as the news of emerged that the justice department has secretly cast this wife's

a veil is that journalists looking for we still don't know what the white house says it knows nothing about this and refers to the justice department and the justice department having acknowledged the phone taps came up with what some saw as as an orwellian response they said that they value the freedom of the press and that they're seeking to strike the right balance between the public interest in the free flow of information and the public interest in the fair and effective administration of our criminal laws that's according to their statement well it's not clear what mine dozens of a.p. jordon they stored their sources have committed to be caught up in this kind of a surveillance sweep but this is sending a chilling effect far beyond the associated press to all journeys that their records can be intercepted and sifted through like this and also made some wish us authorities had to use some of that surveillance bigger to keep an eye on someone like tom of the boston bomber after all those red flags well or could it be that

journalists are seen as more dangerous to national security these days. he's gone age kind of reporting that well the white house insists it was in the dark regarding the surveillance over a p but analysts say the case fits into the general trend of current government policy. since nine eleven particularly we've seen the rapid expansion of a police state in this country it is the infrastructure of the police state is already in place so the restricting of the flow of information by the government and its various mouthpieces this is part of this creeping police state and what i what i want to stress is that the effectiveness of the obama administration in persecuting whistleblowers shows not only the fact that obama himself is no different from any candidate that our president that came before him but also the fact that this is a comprehensive plan to shut out dissent in the united states and hear it on t.v.

also spoke to activist caleb maupin believes spying on a.p. reveals the u.s. government's hypocrisy when it comes to the issue of the freedom of the press. flies in the face of everything obama campaigned on about protecting protecting the press protecting our whistleblowers this is this is very hypocritical all around the world all the sudden the u.s. top starts trying that freedom of the press whenever they're trying to bring down destabilize the government in venezuela they don't like hugo chavez because he's defending the people so all the sudden they're talking about freedom of the press in venezuela but yet in bahrain there's a government that's in it is loyal to the u.s. government and it takes orders from wall street and all the sudden they look the other way while grewal suppression. it's good to have you with us here and i'll see today are still ahead for you in the program a massive blast rocks in libya's restive city of benghazi i want to get putting the country's internal security into question bit later this hour here on the program we take a look at why violence is still the order of the day in libya almost two years

since the western backed revolution ousted kodokan. plus a community in northern england is forced to plug itself into the world wide web of the broadband provider said it wasn't worth their while to provide internet access were put on that and more after a very short break. hunger strike despair pushed to the limits. police are nearly one hundred kuantan of the detainees are screaming for justice. where is the end for good.

will for the. science technology innovation called a list of elements from around russia we've got the future of coverage. after moscow it's r t not far from the world update but for now a soyuz space capsule has successfully touched down on the cosmic step of bringing home the thirty fifth i assess expedition under the command of canadian chris

hadfield and while in orbit the team leader released a series of videos showing how every day life takes on a whole new dimension in space. thomas reports from the mission control just outside moscow. the crew of so use zero seven am has returned to earth safely landing in kazakhstan at just after six thirty in the morning moscow time and this is an incredibly experienced crew with russian cosmonaut romana roman yank oh this is his second flight chris hadfield from canada this is his third space flight and thomas marshburn united states astronaut this is his second between them seven space flights with this incredibly experienced crew now it's always a great moment here at mission control when that capsule lands and they can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they have accomplished a mission and done something pretty special now on this particular mission just a couple of days ago showing that nothing is ever routine when it comes to space

travel thomas marshburn had to do an emergency spacewalk to help fix what was detected a coolant leak at the international space station that was a last minute decision that they decided to send him out just days before you scheduled to depart the international space station chris hadfield from canada has actually in particular gotten a lot of media attention he is arguably the most savvy social media astronaut in the history of space travel having almost nine hundred thousand twitter followers now one of the things that he became known for is conducting experiments in space connecting to regular people one of the experiments was showing people what it's like to cry in space what happens to tears with no gravity i mean they can't fall down so he simulated the conditions in space and produced a dramatic video one other thing he produced a video of what happens when you bring out a wash towel in the space and shows what happens to the water and all sorts of interesting things with the surface tension and where does the water go if it

doesn't actually fall to the ground chris hadfield is also in the process or has just completed a recording of the first commercial album in spaces so these are some of the things that babe accomplished on this particular mission but as. the crew. on earth safely and everyone. accomplished. the number of.

city. hospitals killed. recent violence between. the u.s. . embassy staff. the editor of the. he believes the western states support for the revolution. it's been over two years

now since the western backed war of aggression and regime change was launched against the gym here the former political system in the north african state of libya i believe that these are recent attacks that have taken place in benghazi in the eastern region of the country which is the cradle of the counter revolution against gadhafi is a manifestation of this disintegration are within the political and economic system inside the country regard to the loss of us and potential loss of british and other european personnel there are political costs associated with such loss or potential losses and this is why they are downscaling their diplomatic staff in these countries we've seen the targeting of police stations and other security apparatus inside the country and the u.s. knows as well as the european countries are quite aware of the fact that if they do

lose any more personnel inside of libya because our political destabilisation inside their own countries. and welled up at a time here we're not see to france we go where poppy sodje man celebrations after winning the football was mobbed by clashes in the french capital fighting broke out after around fifteen thousand fans waited for over an hour for the players to turn up in the city center or in the team only appeared for a few minutes and failed to make a victory speech supporters frustration boiled over into violence right there you see it right police called out onto the streets to disperse the rioters with tear gas. police have identified a man that they suspect opened fire on a mother's day parade in new orleans he's a nineteen year old a kind scott it has a criminal record which includes the possession of firearms drugs and resisting arrest nineteen people were wounded during the mass shooting at sunday's parade a children as young as ten among them. an abortion

doctor in philadelphia has been found guilty of murdering three babies after they were born at his clinic comet goes and performed illegal operations for late patients killing some infants who are still alive which citizens decision on whether he will face a death sentence will be made later this month. and about a three hundred textile factories near the bangladeshi capital dhaka have reportedly been shut down because of protests by the collapse of a factory building last month the owners decided to close down because of almost daily riots by work is employed demands include salary increases as well as the death penalty for the run up to factory which collapsed last month search and rescue operations at the site drawing to a close still though over a thousand bodies recovered. many of the factories affected by the bangladesh collapse and resulting protests were making goods for

foreign retail is coming up next hour here on out see our financial gurus max kaiser and stacey her but comparing the value of cheap clothes in human lives as seen by western business. the deadly factory collapse in bangladesh more than two weeks ago has led to calls for retailers to change the way they do business overseas but a new poll and interviews with shoppers at stores whose garments were manufactured at the ruined factory show that pressure for changes on likely to come from americans few of whom have heard much about the collapse most of whom care more about prices than safe labor conditions right well like the cigarette companies you know they put the pictures of people's cancer ridden longs on the packages to try to advertise to them what happens when they smoke cigarettes i think prime arc should have photos of people factory workers crushed at the factory dead their limbs akimbo with their arms and legs and skulls crushed big that's the price for

the cheap clothes at prime market it's not just crime arc it's every single clothing and shoe manufacturer in the world pretty much uses these sort of factories in these sort of conditions and it's either they say it's the consumer they say it's just the consumer that doesn't want to pay the extra five six seven cents that it would require to build safety measures into these factories but it's also the investor the investor wants its highest profit margin it's possible to extract as much equity so it all goes back to the banks of the central banks and their central and their policies that people like paul krugman supports of paul krugman by supporting the bank of england in the federal reserve bank's ultra low interest rates is supporting wal-mart's ability to squeeze the economy to the point where factory workers have to die so that big fat obese american travel guides get a deal on a teacher. or to be martin's break in the search is just around the bend for knowledge of the u.k. government's moving to a system which will eventually see most benefits claimed via the internet is bad

news though for many people in the rural areas who want even close to being online on the surface that one community in northern england which has now been forced to plug itself in. the rolling hills and dales of the daily english countryside eat but what lancashire in the north of england has in secluded d.c. it lacks in mills and in a city despite major provided bt reporting a feast in profits local communities like these haven't felt the benefit and have had to dig deep into their own pockets and land to try to get connected we have on camera a beach executive. power which is one of the highlights poised over in the distance that survey english area and say just look at the forsythia fulfil a sure it is just no economically viable for them to come out the way

to connect up the three or. four as they say are concerned the. homes in the countryside will have to carry on with the old couple was through the telephone because you know economically viable or no economically viable i think that's what we were told only cheese coffee and cake the project cooled gold band for the rural north all bond the shoot might be in the early stages still but it could be set to make this quiet like cool setting a cooler you pull internet hotspots they have a fading into the ground the fibro think cable that provides the input that cannot hit all of this has taken years and pascoe planning and as you can see behind me a lot of hard work in the ball and to vote for the best part about it is that once it's all up and running this area is going to how much faster internet connection than the u.k. average it's unlikely bt will be daunted by this local competition yet but

the project is attracting high level attention. to government he's he's actually now seriously looking. can this be an example of best head for other areas and hopefully now they've actually seen a bill or not the from being on the ground regime to allow smaller groups like this to access the major forms that we're rolling out across the country back in the fields and it's all hands on deck as volunteers look to get the community here connected so that she's just going to go around and talk to one of the other people volunteering or you've been involved in this quite heavily as well what else does it mean because obviously it's providing the internet connection but it's also a way of bringing the community together isn't it really is yes want to me know if you can see here people who've never met future of the before find themselves

working in some cold field project. there are. a lancashire in the north of england. just about time for abby martin so without her trusty sledgehammer breaking the setting just. the illusion of safety trumping you're right seems to be the main political theme of post nine eleven america and no one is pushing the keep you safe at any cost and blow up more than new york billionaire mayor michael bloomberg who recently had to defend his stop and frisk strategy after giving a speech to police brass stop and frisk is the practice of just being able to

search anyone in new york at any time for any reason with your hands this gestapo style practice has been in place since two thousand and two but thankfully was finally recently found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge you know the fourth amendment all the talk about no unlawful search and seizure seems pretty clear to me why did this take so long to figure out bloomberg despite that silly constitution thing stands firm with this policy declaring if you end street stops looking for guns they will be more guns on the street and more people will be killed it's just that simple well to that i would say if you stop nazi style first kings of random innocent people there will be more freedom on the streets it's just that simple but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. i mean. as i've said it really messed up. the east coast of the.

worse. you heard a little a little light on the. radio guy for a minute. what. we're about to give you never seen anything like this i'm telling. you guys i'm out in march and this is breaking the set so let's talk about monsanto you know the company behind most of the genetically modified foods that are put in your body the company who owns half the world steve market well sadly it looks like the biotech corporation is continuing to tighten its advice on the neck of washington d.c. this morning the supreme court ruled on a patent case where a seventy five year old farmer was sued for mixed soybeans that were not created by monsanto with other g.m.o. seeds because as we know month they don't can't rest until they know farmers are

only growing crops with their label on it check it out. they don't want me to go to the elevator and buy the grain then congress should pass a law saying you can't do it sadly the justices agreed with one santo and if you're infuriated that a massive corporation can lay an eighty thousand dollar lawsuit on american farmer for infringing on a life patent well that's just the beginning think back to march when congress quietly passed a bill done the month santa protection act basically allowed the company to be above america's judicial process and immune from prosecution. so they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars so in small farmers across the u.s. but they're also operating above the law so no one can sue them that seems fair right oh and you know that the supreme court justice clarence thomas used to serve as an attorney for months santo back in the seventy's surely there's no conflict of interest there are all of these little ted.
