7:05 am
a lot of this outrage which we're seeing would not have happened some of the outrage would have happened a lot of it is frustration at the way the government has been ruling by its government and what is the solution to this problem the solution to this problem is not you know people standing on tanks. storming the president. it would be for the government to go to a poll. washington is deploying patriot missiles and sixteen fighter jets to jordan the u.s. central command says they'll begin military drills fast and may remain afterwards and a nation which waters war torn syria moscow has condemned as they planned as pumping weapons into the volatile region on his policy of it's not what's behind
7:06 am
a move the u.s. and says there's only aimed at helping an ally. well it's certainly not really about jordan what we do know is that the deployment of a patriot missile battery and its sixteen fighter jets to jordan comes amid escalating international tension over the syrian conflict what the u.s. is saying is that the weapons are meant to be part of a military drill but it has said that they could remain in jordan afterwards to counter the threat posed by the syrian civil war now this comes several months since nato deployed patriot missile batteries in turkey along its one of our border there with syria and although the batteries are designed to intercept scud missiles they could potentially be employed to enforce a no fly zone and certainly this is the indication from recent reports that say that the white house has asked the pentagon to draw up plans for a no fly zone inside syria that would be enforced by the united states and other countries such as science and persian according to old contracts with the syrian

a peace activist who says it wasn't these documents that were doing harm. this is an unprecedented legal case being brought by the government arguing that making secrets public through the media in dangerous the united states people by aiding the enemy that is if you make something public any whistleblower any media outlet any were reporter or journalist because some enemy to get a hold of public information you have aided the enemy and they will they will bring evidence that osama bin laden had used a session information that came out through bradley manning leak they will not as far as anyone knows present any evidence that any harm resulted from this to any civilian or soldier. in stark contrast to the harm being brought upon so many civilians and soldiers by the us government's actions that this pushback against bradley manning helped end the occupation of iraq which was

a system unlike any other one of the world's largest publicly funded health services but britain's n.h.s. is facing growing problems austerity means cuts to vital services at a time when demand for their services is that an all time high perhaps more concerning for many is a raft of scandals regarding substandard care at n.h.s. hospitals around the country february saw the publication of the francis report which looked into failings of care at the mid staffordshire hospital near birmingham where over one thousand people may have died needlessly as a result of patient neglect the outgoing head of the n.h.s. who presided over the scandal has even been dubbed the man with no shame and there's been accusations of failings of care at all the hospitals around the country gary walker is the former chief executive of the united lincolnshire hospitals trust he lost his job after trying to alert his bosses to the fact that patients were risk gary you tried to tell your bosses what was happening what went

7:18 am
that there needs to be twenty billion pounds saved in the n.h.s. now that's twenty percent of the budget so that means you know one in five hospitals potentially need to close so i think what's happening is this is a slight revolution where that's where the staff are getting up in large numbers and saying we can't reach as individuals anymore and sacco's you now have got too many people raising concerns you need to do something kerry welcome any thanks for your comment on a new report out from the british medical journal says that patients are more likely to die if they have operations near the end of the week. od see london. the monsters of global finance are finding it hard to prop up the idea that austerity is the answer to the world's economic doldrums and kaiser and stays a hard look at a new fiscal trend. for good keynesianism or austrian school the only economic theory today is potemkin ism according to wikipedia the phrase potemkin

york magistrate judge gary brown has ruled that it's ok to track people's will cation via their cell phone the judge supports his decision by saying that there is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the perspective of a cellular telephone where the individual has failed to protect his privacy but taking the simple expedient of powering it off this statement seems to hint that cell phones are some sort of luxury and that people are just too lazy to turn off their phones when they want privacy this ignores the fact that there are many people who have to be on call twenty four seven like surgeons and server technicians these people can't just turn off their phones so does that mean that certain professions can't have privacy also this presumption that people have no expectation of privacy what about people who send images of text messages of a sexual nature to each other joy think that all these people just assume it's all

7:29 am
explaining to the judge that the leak was meant to expose the u.s. military's disregard of human life in iraq and afghanistan he said that he would have hoped it would prompt a much needed a debate on u.s. foreign policy unfortunately this guilty plea doesn't seem to be enough for the obama administration which is now seeking to convict manning on the more severe charge that of aiding the enemy and violating the espionage act if convicted manning could go to prison for life it's a bleak reality in that former whistleblower daniel ellsberg knowledge of the bradley manning rally this past weekend there he spoke to r.t. about the administration's handling of the case. and really cheesy and done. this show glue shit now. was and is unconstitutional the supreme court in those clauses the supreme court has never ruled on that count or listen pretty fortunate to know that citizen constitution my day forty years ago weighed almost surely would have sold.
