12:10 am
i thought ok this is wrong something else going on i was very angry i mean. i was trembling they are using the democratic. situation and freedom in order to promote something against it which is really really dangerous in one east london housing estate this black flag closely resembling that. haddest groups was seen hanging above the gates for several days before the highly provocative gesture to pay says the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq r.a.f. tornado jets have been sent to support a drops for refugees and to carry out surveillance operations it's also of course a political statement sending a call but yes this is statement of intent in any situation it provides flexibility for the government if the situation on the ground escalates to a point where they deem strikes to be necessary it wouldn't require much
12:11 am
modification at all the jets would be very quick resourced to be there if acquired images of islamic state force a very chill rampage through iraq have been splashed across a media and it's starring public opinion where the demonstration outside downing street and you can see the signs talking about standing up to i said the u.k. prime minister is under growing political pressure to follow the lead of the u.s. and launch airstrikes to try to stop the terrorists of violence that's despite lingering anger over the deeply unpopular iraq war which cost the u.k. nine billion pounds and dragged on for almost a decade iraq's current crisis has been blamed on the power of back you know who are related there is also a sense that because of the iraq war this is you know this is the west responsibility many people consider that of course there's the alternate view that the west has already been into iraq and it hasn't worked out so they should just

12:17 am
israel and hamas looks in a doubt after israeli defense forces resumed firing at gaza it's retaliation for multiple rockets fired into the south of israel just hours earlier a middle east correspondent paula slayer has more on the shaky cease fire what we're hearing from a hamas spokesperson is that the two sides have agreed to a five day cease fire now and this comes as a midnight deadline on a previous specifically two hour truce expires the purpose of these cease fires and truces are essentially on the one hand to allow for humanitarian aid to be brought into the gaza strip where the situation is dire indeed and for days we've been hearing from humanitarian organizations that a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding but even more importantly to allow for the facilitation of talks to take place now for three days the two sides have been holding in direct talks in cairo egypt is mediating these talks and they're the ones that are very often have been dating journalists and the international community as to how they are progressing these stumbling points essentially have
12:18 am
been israel's insistence that gaza be demilitarized and at the same time he must his insistence that israel lift its a.t.'s sea on the gaza strip what we understand in terms of an agreement that is on the table is that some progress has been made there are border crossings that have been lifted the kerem shalom crossing for example which is one of the main border crossings between israel and gaza has doubled the number of trucks that are allowed into gaza each day at the same time the fishing rights of the waters of gaza have also been extended and we're also hearing that salaries that are to be paid to. will now be paid they've been overdue for several months now through a third party however we are also at the same time receiving some kind of conflicting reports we are being told that the israeli delegation has left cairo and is on its way back to israel at the same time we're also receiving preliminary reports that there are sirens sounding in the south of the country now if indeed
12:19 am
this proves to be accurate it will put a spanner in the works just two hours before that seventy two hour cease fire was due to expire there were three rockets that were fired at israel one was intercepted by the iron dome anti-missile defense system and another two landed in open fields causing no injuries now must deny it that it fired those rockets but there have been two other armed groups from gaza who have taken responsibility israeli defense forces has also sent its troops to the israel gaza border just in case the ceasefire doesn't hold and the situation is skillets. now you can keep a good whistleblower down edward snowden's revealed yet more shadowy espionage to the world he's been spilling the beans in a marathon interview with wired magazine snowden avails that china is target number one for u.s. hackers but says intelligence services have gone too far aggressively and often unnecessarily targeting civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and universities
12:20 am
snowden also explains how cyber attacks can be easily spoofed originating from one country but seeming to come from another also in the midst of syria's civil war he claims it was the us which knocked the country's internet offline significant because back then most observers pointed out assad while it seems it was an n.s.a. team trying to get on parallel access to serious digital communications investigative journalist russ baker says america's deep involvement in syria has always been clear but not to this scale. well i think we've always known that the n.s.a. leak reach was formidable at a time where the uprising was being presented as largely a indigenous phenomenon we see that united states security apparatus was actually deeply deeply involved in that country's affairs while snowden's latest league
12:21 am
showed just how advanced digital attacks have become now in one nine hundred ninety eight the first computer was as it's called was created by a student who claimed he didn't mean any harm but something went wrong and they morphed into a virus which cost up to one hundred million dollars in repair bills while opening our eyes to the dangers a year later a simple virus infected microsoft word documents sent an e-mail again unintentionally but that caused eighty million dollars worth of damage in two thousand the young hakka learned how to grind the internet to a hold by bombarding websites with load requests called d.d. o. s. attacks and c.n.n. e-bay and yahoo were among those who felt that one estimated harm over a billion dollars and nearly a decade ago a cyber command from miami stole over one hundred seventy million credit card numbers in what was the biggest such fraud in history more news from around the world now in brazil presidential candidate eduardo can pass has died in

libertarian economist lou rockwell explains so you know the kind of system we've got so you have big companies big banks to start with you could root for big business. and big government against the rest so it's not a healthy system it's really. economic reform fascism this is true of the centers for disease control it's true of the federal trade commission and we're going down the consumer product safety commission down the list of all these regulatory agencies the employees who are involved in creating the regulations go to work for those but so i would say you know all the bad people are benefiting the good people are being hurt and sanctions are entirely wrong apparently immoral as your national laws are always held by the law that says the equivalent of bombing somebody these are very very serious dangerous. things that the u.s.
