they are. both cars laces as than our scoundrel leaves the hump list american spy at the muscle of the world media with a steady flow of drugs and guns over his clumsy skill. be easy pledges more often than in euros towards rebuilding mali at a major donors called friends even as the eurozone economy shrinks with a six course in a while. also the sound security of a sunk the us government owns up to a massive bayless operation targeting journalists with the white house trumpets national security as the be all and end all. on the clash of the nation's eager to tertian own riches is guessing they go to china and india are now among those who got us to go for is one of the comes to covering up

the breach. you saw russia on around the wall this is all see with me you lash apollo thanks for joining us. the exposure of a cia sprain moscow has yet failed to stir the political arena but caused a major boom in the media instead journalists rushed along the unfortunate spike ridiculing his outdated equipment and clumsy method is. it takes up the story. just have to look at some of the headlines across the western media today to understand the magnitude of the laughter they're having now from russia with the wig james blog and many different headlines have come up across the western media today in relation to the spy incident the latest by scandal mostly because the man

detained ryan fogle had a wig on him and a call which in the era of high tech technology some say is something that a spy may not have but we've already contacted several experts who've said intelligence experts those are who said that despite that we're living in an era of high technologies still things like wigs can be very effective in terms of concealing one's identity and we also have to remember the previous scandals in the previous cases where it says the most recent anna chapman scandal when none of the media actually took the serious and said that she was most likely a model or an actress rather than a spy until the rumor was confirmed but let's dig a little deeper and go back to two thousand and six when a scandal between the u.k. and russia erupted when a russian state channel showed a documentary exposing several of the agents working in moscow gathering intel while they were doing it by means of certain technologies disguised as

a rock while the media was laughing out loud back then as well saying that you know this is a conspiracy theory who could possibly go on information with a rock until one of the former members of the u.k. government actually admitted that things like that existed and this was nothing but true so we have to wait and see of course whether there will be any comments from the official washington on this latest issue so. is it possible that this scandal can pose a serious threat to russia u.s. relations doesn't seem this way because mostly because of the lack of course now we know that the us ambassador michael mcfaul was at the russian foreign ministry in the morning to do some explanations regarding this incident but he had no comments not before not after the meeting with the russian officials this suggesting of course along with the lack of comments coming from the russian side only very very shrewd comments coming from the russian side that this will not hamper the relations as they stand currently especially in the times when washington to moscow seem to agree on the diplomatic level so this doesn't have an indication that this

will probably grow into another scandal another row between the two countries. and online we have collected a selection of the top spying scandals of the twenty first century for you involving the u.s. and russia have to have called this story. almost half again after french troops landed in mali to push back rebels bombings and insecurity is still plagued the north of the country it's a situation heads of state are hoping to seoul as they gather in brussels for a donor's conference that aims to raise native to britain during the war torn country. has more now from the summit for. leaders from the e.u. and france as well as international donors are gathering today here in brussels to drum up and get aid and support for mali a country which has been dealing with a radical islamist militants as well as a political crisis for the last couple of years now now the french foreign minister

aloha fab you said said that the aim of today is to raise some one point nine a billion euros a to give to the country in the what he calls a quote unquote an effort to build democracy dialogue and development now we know that france has been very much involved in the country especially in the beginning of the year when it launched a military operation into the country saying that they were there to fight off islamist militants away from key cities now france is also in the middle of withdrawing some four thousand troops from the country wherever it does plan to keep about a thousand troops in says in what is seen as a long term a kind of posting in the country would this is in contrast to what has been told to the french people in the beginning who had given support to this military operation they were told that it was going to be a short a kind of operation however we have been speaking to some experts who are very familiar with counterinsurgency efforts and have had firsthand experience with them and they've told us here on our team that it's very difficult for counterinsurgency

operations to be a short kind of war because as you drive out militants from key cities they do have a tendency to just keep coming back so there is a question of whether security is really in place to do. any military intervention create. terrorists or walkways. why they move they withdraw or they consolidate somewhere else where they are less likely to create higher living areas of the state of chaos sort of the nato intervention. place to going to get out but it is us they can see. what problems their assets they followed the variation of the whites because they know that sooner or later the intervention forces whether the french in mali or american enough guys are sooner or later the occupiers go home the french foreign minister insists that security is largely in place in the country whether critics do question the extent of that kind of

stability the mali may be seeing at the moment now there is no argument among everybody involved that a stable mali is in the interest of a secure region the regional security however there is that question of how sustainable and how effective the efforts have been so far there are also plans of having elections in the country in july if and when that does happen what kind of a democracy and system will be put in place considering that the country is still facing some of those militant threats it's not one hundred percent out of the a country also since today is largely a fund raising activity there are questions on the money now are there mechanisms that will make it should make it very transparent as to where this money is going to go and if it will actually reach its intended destination a lot of questions that need to be answered as these leaders and international donors at me today here in brussels and. from the french anti-colonial group a serviette says throwing money at mali will not create a stable state. bringing money in

a system that is greatly corrupted where the money never goes to the people that reading needs it and bring in it in the results you have to do it have a strong strong political institution you have to have strong polices. aim to improve the conditions the west conditions of the people you have results in death case we are putting the stages one bit before another but in the in the wrong in the wrong since just part of that world as being directly. targeted by a lot of. countries there were. who are looking for the natural resources and friends have has a traditional very strong position in this continent and they are looking not to lose disposition so they are showing their muscles if you want and just north of mali a police state from bones and leave is restive sailed in gaza two days after

a mysterious comp last reports tell of escalating violence in the former revolution . look at the tension gripping the country and what is feeding the address that. the u.s. justice department is on the bike through defending its massive splay operation against this state of press news agency about one hundred journalists and editors had the phone stop for months but the revelations sparking wide wide spread outrage . has been following the scandal. it's being called an unprecedented government intrusion the justice department secretly collected two months of telephone records from the associated press and its reporters. a.p. believes this story prompted the secret investigation the cia uncovered a plot to bomb a u.s. bound airliner a plot originated in yemen and was carried out by al qaeda they arabian peninsula

by reporting this al qaeda was put on notice that the cia had an inside look at their activities be a piece as the justice department did not say why they needed the information but says among the nearly two dozen telephone records collected at least five of them were from reporters working on the story in question this was a very serious. a very serious leak and a very very serious leak. i've been a prosecutor since the one nine hundred seventy six and i have to say that this is among if not the most serious it is even the top two or three most serious leaks that never see it put the american people at risk and there is not hyperbole eric holder announced today that he was recusing himself from this a.p. investigation the prominent news agency condemned the government's actions in a letter to holder yesterday associated press c.e.o. gary pruitt says quote these records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the news gathering activities undertaken by the

a.p. during a two month period provide a roadmap to news gathering operations and disclose information about a.p.'s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know now the a.p. is asking for an explanation as to why the government pulled reporters' phone records without notifying them the worry now is the effect the news will have on the media and its sources i think the effect on the media has already been felt i mean you have. sources that are being shut down doors just being shut in people's faces now that was probably the intention the intention was to scare. the turn off the faucet in other words from leaks in the wake of the controversy white house press secretary jay carney reiterated the obama administration's dedication to transparency he believes strongly in the need for the press to be unfettered in its pursuit of investigative journalism he also believes strongly as

a citizen and as president in the need to ensure that classified information is not leaked because it can endanger our national security interests this balance between transparency and national security has been a delicate one since nine eleven the obama administration has a history of aggressively going after whistleblowers prosecuting more people for leaking classified information than any other administration combined and washington was wall artsy. all to contribute to our show what science is says that the damage has been done and no whistleblower will ever risk going to the associated press and able to notify the head of associated press because it would undermine the security of the whole operation the idea of justice anyway in the united states around the world we see now how can there be a problem of justice with torturing august strikers in cuba and as for eric holder himself well what exactly are they thinking when they're actually naming associated

press the american taxpayer will have to be reparations to associated press because let's face it whistleblower source is now going to call the a.p. desk in new york or washington d.c. and generally it has to be said that given the obama administration's attitude you know really an american journalist if their phone calls are being recorded or at least the phone logs on being noted down and sent to the f.b.i. . the world's most maligned essential facility a dock miles started nights nine days of a mosque one destroyed and authorities that it is have had enough inmates have gone tunnel obey our reporting escalating harassment and saying that they were subjected to painful such as for reasons as petty as a telephone call that no was all about the natural.

you're watching aussie live from moscow it's great to have you with this conversation over the vast natural resources is taking a new twist china and india states hardly associated with the north pole are joining forces with four other nations that have been awarded permanent observer status to the arctic council and to talk more on these cold consolations are joined in the studio by aussie news editor i have a cross he had a very nice to have you again in the studio so please tell us more about this he said composition that well what we witnessed today at the arctic council in meeting was also we're calling an asian rush to participate in the group at the arctic council oversees the arctic area and the receding ice flows have opened up shipping routes for asian nations particular to take advantage of and there's also

a lot of interest and resources in the mineral resources that are specifically in the arctic area the u.s. survey in two thousand and eight estimated that twenty two percent of the earth's. oil and gas was under the arctic bad so there's a lot of people very interested in getting involved in in the arctic area trouble is people aren't really sure how to divide it up so we've had strong proposals that the arctic be divided according to long to two tortured coastline exposure to the the arctic area but there's also been a suggestion from the u.s. which is a permanent member of the council to an international zone be created as a free for all if you will a lot of people fear that that would open a pandora's box certainly the countries would who border the arctic region feel that might let players into the arctic area who don't necessarily have the best interests of the indigenous people of the arctic at heart. the u.s. plan funnily enough. finds echoes in china's stance towards the arctic where they

they now call themselves a near arctic nation and they would be delighted if the arctic was opened up and allowed exploration from nonspecifically. so how about china and other state like india who basically have nothing to do with. that well very briefly f m c g faster moving consumer consumable goods the interest in china in particular from china in particular but also from singapore which also join the council today is a major trading how they can shorten the transport time to european markets for the i phones the i pads the televisions and what comes from the asian markets to to europe they can shorten the. travel time or transport time by at least a week if not two weeks and this would basically help increase profit margins for those who would be interested on the other hand there are resources as well and the chinese as you know are very eager to. secure resources on a global basis we've seen their work in africa and i think probably was we'd see

a continuation of that policy in the arctic and talking about countries shaz and how to be divided doesn't mean that the more global influence you have the bigger the slice you can get well one might be forgiven for thinking so given that the exposure or the emphasis right now on the arctic is very much on its mineral resources and its and its potential as a shipping route however we did see a rather unusual move today the e.u. was also in in the hunt for a observer status position and was surprisingly blocked by canada so on the one hand what we did see the arctic council expanded more voices come to the table on the other hand we saw a very definitive line being drawn by the canadians the gradients took a stance many believe canadians took a stance on the e.u.'s decision to ban seal meat and seal for two thousand and nine canadians feel that that harms the interests of the indigenous arctic people who live in canada and they want you to repeal that ban so what we saw there was a very clear line being drawn and i got some political push and pull factors taking

place right across i thank you very much for your insight i thank you. at least one person has been killed in libya's second largest city benghazi after medicines that stormed a police station is being reported that the building is still on fire was minister missing that time comes i mean that frantic pull out of the u.s. and u.k. and this is stop due to the recent spike in violence and lawrence freeman from executive intelligence review magazine things the west could be leaving behind the mess it helped create with a green monster that they could no longer control and it's during against them in a way that it's absolutely foreseeable that fact at the tony blair policy which obama kameraden circles you follow people made in europe with support khadafi in orbit two thousand and eleven created this condition which way the understandable anyone who is going to happen we worked directly with the ok the issue should also

weigh out to you guys you know other parts of libya and now libya has become the new government of the so even the people who are usually needed in minutes after the need to protect themselves because nobody of the victim in the situation is completely out of control. and of course lots more news stories for you online including actress angelina jolie is a must check summary which has created some unexpected side effects as the fund that is the pace of so how so-called brass council dream so its share price skyrocket and also that. you know where to hide a dutch company can discover all about your past details like your gender and age just by looking at a ball to write on your twitter account find out how it's done on r.t. dot com. a simple telephone call with lawyers now of course gone tunnel inmates at the grazing border search according to

prisoners there less that authorities are determined to stop the outside world learning about the desperate situation they're up to eighty percent of inmates at the detention facility are now on the hunger strike that is marking its ninety ninth day and dr frank on old from the medical justice network says torture back and teen use repeated insertion root really worried board feeding tubes is obviously painful. the joint task force piece shows that rather than leaving the tube down as would be safe and humane it's being removed and shoved back down routinely regularly and painfully with a patient in restraint over and over again the policy behind v.s.o.p. is to punish hunger strikers for daring to protest. is a protest against what this record sees as denial of access to justice in this case a decade or more of detention without charge or trial or possibility of release and

it's clear that the hunger strikers are being kept under weight and look forward to the planning of their force feeding whether it's punishment as a means of control or through medical error so i think there's a real chance that something will go badly wrong and fairly soon about the doctors in guantanamo and breach of their ethical duties by colluding in torture the medical association and the un agree with this these doctors like everyone else have duties to refuse unlawful orders and to expose abuse that was established new yorker because they do not want the hunger strikers do not trust and sometimes fear those doctors who are responsible for cooperating and what they see as abuse so there is no doctor patient relationship their hunger strike despair pushed to the limit. one hundred thirty one hundred guantanamo detainees are screaming for justice. where is the end for.
