1:04 am
crackdown on the opposition by calling it a war on terror. this is this is the reality of them a letter to military coups folding in front of our eyes this is a military this is that a yellow coupe them military will try to force it all on edge and on the people and the people have to fight back to the country is divided that's no doubt about that i'm not saying that the country is united just the word terrorism is a very like a political word and cc's using it is using the war in terror just to brand his own crackdown in islamist and put it in make it like sound were american war and terrorism that the same war that george w. bush started so he wants to kill his friends in the united states that i'm doing the same as you do and i'm fighting terrorism too but in fact it is not generous and there are peaceful protesters. sitting in the street are demanding their own

to syria now where at least fifty pro-us and prisoners have allegedly been executed by rebel forces without trial now this comes as the leaders of the syrian national coalition met with the u.n. security council and agreed to participate in a geneva peace conference that was artie's marina park i reports a number of preconditions still have to be met before any such meeting can actually take place the delegation representing the syrian opposition that is visiting new york promised to attend the geneva two meeting it seems as though the delegation that has a lot of. before it will actually arrive at this should be able to meeting it seems as though they want to make sure that syrian president bashar al assad has no authority following the geneva two meeting and another precondition possibly that
1:07 am
we could that was spoken about by the by the french envoy was the fact once the transitional government is established that that transitional government would have full authority over the security of the military in syria as russian ambassador to the u.n. really underscored here is that all this talk of prevent the geneva two meeting from actually moving forward and taking place on the everybody is going to x. with the national committee with the supreme council of the kurds of syria but there is. an understanding has not yet been achieved among them to be jointly represented presented to. the syrian opposition would like to receive the weapons in arms in military aid that the obama administration recently promised to provide to the rebels fighting against syrian president bashar al assad many ask why would washington be shipping more weapons and. getting
1:08 am
a little more because now we should point out here that spray. as envoy to the u.n. just spoke to the media and said that the vast majority of your member states already recognize mr geraci as the sole representative of the syrian people legally i don't know how that can happen within the un there can't be official recognition of someone that is not a head of state or without it being processed within the united nations also with some experts are questioning is the overall legitimacy of the syrian national coalition critics say the group has no work. and recognition inside of syria eugene pier yeah a member of the answer anti-war coalition says he believes the syrian rebels are only willing to negotiate when they have the upper hand. the united states and the united kingdom france other western nations have really made clear that they will only accept the fall of the side and despite the fact that they continually try to say that they're for peace negotiations it seems at every turn whether it's sending
1:09 am
arms to the rebels whether it's in the quote unquote non-lethal aid money in general supporting the gulf countries that are also supporting them that really all of the talk about peace is disingenuous and unlike russia and other countries they seem very. determined to push forward the syrian rebels as the new leadership of the country regardless of the situation on the ground when the russian the united states where originally trying to promote the geneva two conference we saw that the syrian rebels essentially said that they had no intention of negotiating until the situation on the ground changed that is until they gained the military upper hand so from their perspective they seem only willing to negotiate if the military situation allows them to have the upper hand in negotiations but if they seem to be losing the war if it seems that support for them inside of the country is dropping all of a sudden they have no desire to negotiate and they only want to continue to push war which is the subtext of this entire meeting where on the sidelines they have been pushing for more and more military aid from the united states and for it to come significantly quicker. well chris latina who is an analyst for
1:10 am
a public opinion and political strategy web page believes that u.s. involvement in syria could potentially create another iraq. there are so many factions that have so much influence with this coalition and even the assad government has brought in others outsiders if you will to sort of prop up their government that there doesn't seem to be any particular group that can claim to be in charge or one side or the other the whole situation is become balkanize the last thing people in america want is to get into another situation are rock which is very confusing we never really pick the side. to be on that seemed to be the right side and ten years after our invasion. there doesn't seem to be any kind of coalition around a governing body that all iraqis can agree on as far as most americans are concerned this is just another big mess. still ahead on our t.v.

washington says it's moving closer towards closing the guantanamo bay prison by sending two inmates to algeria but as we hear later on in the program their future in the country may not work out for the better plus we report on how some people in venezuela are turning to so-called self-defense groups to quell the danger of staggering street crime as the police would be policy. i would rather as questions for people busy feel instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can run by feel larry king now right here on r.g.p. question more.

allegedly spearheaded the fast i could now face decades behind bars r.t.s. andrew blake has more. we had five guys four russian nationals and one ukrainian man who over the course of around seven years were able to penetrate a number of the networks of leading financial institutions banks all sorts of systems where very important information was being stored and over the course of several years those men broke into the databases allegedly took a sensitive information and in the end u.s. prosecutors now say that those five men were able to compromise roughly one hundred sixty million credit cards causing upwards of three hundred million dollars of damage they were able to elude authorities for around seven or eight years now but actually masterminding this operation itself took a lot of very careful planning now of the five men that are believed involved in this each one kind of had a separate little niche that they would specialize in for instance were experts when it came to penetrating computer networks others were would go into these networks after they were compromised in mind for even more would build up very very

sophisticated internet networks to be able to communicate anonymously so by having different specialists in different sectors they were all able to put the pieces together and cause millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage and affect people around the globe two of them were arrested one of them has since been extradited from the netherlands the other one is awaiting extradition and three of them are at large so once they are brought to the u.s. and tried the could be looking at likely decades in prison. that was unsealed thursday this week it all stems from a previous investigation that began a few years ago and did with the conviction of an american computer hacker who is currently serving several decades behind prison for a similar crime. and while washington is trying to secure cyberspace from illegal acts for private data seems to be gaining momentum this with reason exchange commission lining up to monitors people's private e-mails without

a warrant for more on that to go to our website or to dot com also there for you. you may think these people would be ready to file a complaint for being pepper sprayed but that's not exactly how it plays out as the police officer who is now demanding compensation learn why online. two guantanamo bay detainees may be about to be transferred from the prison facility in cuba to be held in their home country algeria the white house says the move is part of obama's plan to close the prison and algeria has successfully managed detainees in the past almost half the inmates of the prison are still being
1:16 am
held behind bars despite being cleared for release now dr alan singer from hofstra university in new york state says that he believes the move is an attempt by the u.s. to break the hunger strike at the detention center. in many ways due to act of desperation by hunger strike has embarrassed the united states all over the world so they try to break down destroyed by pushing out a couple the people but these are people that are being detained without any legal justification one of the things i find so curious is that trying to get out curiously jake to the people algeria is not well noted for the due process of its courts countries with established legal proceedings do not want to touch this yes saying to the states and saying dog i love you made this mess you're stuck with it i am an expert on the other jury in prison system but i had a go to jail i think i'd much rather go to sweden or denmark the traditions in general in algeria are very very harsh i mean i think they're looking to send

seamless as of late specially over the past several years of course there was the orange revolution the recent gas kong here the raw bourses inside the country and say that you would feel much better off staying on friendly terms with russia rather than playing a back seat role for your. ukraine is distant to strive for favorable relations with russia for thousands of reasons suffice it to say that every third ukrainian has close relatives living in russia and although more than half of the country prefer to choose a moscow friendly course the league is moving in the opposite direction afraid of dissent because the voice of the protesters isn't and it won't be. at the same time moscow wants to see its next door neighbor to play a bit of a more active role in regional cooperation for example by starting by joining the customs union of which russia of course is a. player ukraine's economy is also highly dependent on russia with some seven hundred thousand ukrainians employed in russia on top of that they're all forced

boy oh boy there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there from mysterious extra planets drip killion creatures living among us but there also may conspiracy theories that are very plausible and some that are well actually true one that i've heard for a long time is that they are specifically trying to fill the police with dimwits to abuse the american people which is silly right right well according to a.b.c. news a discrimination lawsuit revealed that robert jordan was denied the chance to become a new london police officer because he was too smart his entrance exam score was a thirty three which is an i.q. of one hundred twenty five and it was just too high to allow him to defend the public good that police department only accepts candidates who have scores from twenty to twenty seven the logic is that people who are too smart get bored as
1:26 am
policeman and they're more likely to quit after years of costly training. yeah this is proof of a conspiracy theory well the lowest score they accept is still around an average i.q. so that doesn't mean they're specifically trying to fill the place with sub par people but it does seem really weird to fear people with high i.q.'s entering the police force this case that the confirms nor denies the conspiracy theory but is definitely food for thought and does a kind of not make sense to discriminate against anyone ever for having a high i.q. i don't know but that's just my opinion. live live.
