and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. believe the deadly easter sunday of bomb attacks which left almost three hundred dead were carried out with the help of an international what network. political newcomer a lot of years olinsky secures a landslide victory in ukraine's presidential election the win is widely seen as a call for change but this predecessor failing to carry out his promises and stop

the war in the east of the country. and french police are accused of cracking down on press freedoms after arresting reporters during the weekend yellow bus protests . you're watching are to international bringing you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the easter sunday bomb attacks that left two hundred ninety people dead and hundreds more injured intra longer were carried out with the help of an international network that's according to government officials. we do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who are confined to this country there was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded on monday special forces also blew up a van near one of the targeted churches witnesses reported it had been parked there

since the explosion on sunday. that wasn't anything we heard a loud bang and we fainted and that's all i remember we heard a loud explosion and everything collapsed we managed to protect the children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son had died. i wish to express my heartfelt select are some christian communities affected one that was oppressed with all the symptoms of such cruelty foreigners.

didn't hear any conflicts conflicts in this peaceful island however there was a warning issued by the national chief police. ten days ago and this negligence show that this warden ng if it was taken into account and taken seriously all those casualties would have been avoided. for more on this we go live now to dr sheerin child professor and dean at the school of international affairs and opi jen dawg global university thank you for joining us on the program now what's your reaction to the claim that the international group was involved in the attacks well the local jihad this

stern network could jump to being blamed for these attacks could not have carried you don't go on this we don't significant go far in linkages and support because this is you know a very localized one and did not seem to have the kind of weaponry and the tactics and the training to do this kind of systematic people cite serializer attacks that have killed off hundreds of people saw clearly did was an international angle to this i think the intelligence agencies really have to piece the evidence together and see the tree leaves so my feeling is that the. you know cut and in sri lanka but also all possibly you know some countries in southeast asia that are sponsored you have this start terrorism as a proxy to be stable is the name there could be many other you know foreign players involved and we are only beginning the investigation saw i think critical of the

sri lankan government to claim that he just carried this out with international links he's a quite credible there are reports that the government had prior information that attacks might occur where the attacks perhaps too well planned to prevent or there are serious questions facing the government and security services right now. well you know that intelligence was passed on to the sri lankans by a friendly countries including india and it's just happened there is some along the chain of command it was not passed on our shared way of leaving office and part of the problem is the infighting between the prime minister and become a singer and the president might to policy to say no they belong to the front parties and they have broken up already had they were ally and partner but now they don't see eye to eye so the prime minister is blaming the president essentially who is also the president and also the defense minister and the prime minister saying that i was not privy to any of these early warnings that essentially it's about

being going on that blaming each other and it's not looking good it reminds me of afghanistan when the president actually got me and the c.e.o. of the love them or don't see eye to eye and frequently blame each other for security lapses sandor their research backs so you have the. highly divided the student and so psyches highly divided the ethnic and religious differences are being exploited by these you have these groups to recoup the young muslims to carry on these kind of attacks so it is a challenge to sri lanka as a nation and especially to be going to the single eastern majority who have been ruling the country for decades because they have internecine you know councils that are costing the country security and people's lives are really really bad and if we take a wider view does this reflect a failing on a global level to catch threats such as this earlier on. well yeah i mean you see these things have been going on clearly communications should have been disrupted

and eavesdropping true that we happening and these local groups like how he jumped up which used to be you know a lot of ragtag and very small how could they be one of these networks internationally to carry or something of this scale so clearly somebody had the you know all of the have been caught napping and the whole region in southeast asia we have. threat especially in sri lanka in india in the margrave's we've seen this in myanmar in bangladesh these are so-called isis model which category sensational attacks similar to the one we saw in colombo so overall if you see insult to shea's point one or whatever and. the studio is very you know there are a lot of peace and gendered young muslims even if one percent are winds you don't want five percent of those civilians are radicalized through online means are through travelling to see the fight feiss and then returning there these services need to contract and we should not underestimate this what happens is the politics in these countries obfuscates the thread for example in sri lanka there are lot of

these of mainstream muslim bar additions who are elected as members of parliament who are in the ruling coalition what ministers they showed of these groups like coheed and saying that they are simply performing a charity and social services when actually under the cover of that you know or doing something far more are dangerous and you know and be adding anti social so i think it's very important that the think of all are all too common you know much more holistic being one wing community bridging that not only just serve the wives in the societies and also making sure the elites are united otherwise it's a lost cause. you find it surprising at all that no one has come poor or no group has come forward and claimed responsibility for the attacks. yeah you know down by this time i see seaford on would have claimed or at least appropriate or did and said that you know one of our you know of get a reliable emitter or you know branches of can if it would have done it but they

haven't done so and not as i will conduct so it's interesting so it does show that there is a significant local base to this but these guys are highly motivated from the videos that are circulating off of these towhee just. teacher so they are actually a pretty influenced by a cut into the middle east and elsewhere and they're saying that essentially in sri lanka the have we are muslims and everybody else not infidels with these christians all the others are infidels so if that is how they want to be why in the society and who could detect a clash of civilizations it is quite dangerous because are going to be there as i said three existing it not immediately once in the society so for young muslims especially in the western and eastern part of sri lanka where they're concentrated the card you hardly seems like a salvation because they're frustrated for radius reasons so weird and bristols local grievances to and prevent and as essential as we need to snap the link between these international sponsors supporters and the local grievances that's the

only way to solve the problem so the fact that ice is our guy does not think it does not mean that there is no international linkage and i think the fact is they do have it he could be losing it could be inspired it need not who directly or the metered are financed by far and actors but definitely the scale of this attacks are such that you know did not of the need to completely you know homebred of fashion international affairs professor dr sure i am charlie i thank you so much for joining us on the program today. a political outsider known for playing a president on a t.v. show or swap acting for the real thing after winning ukraine's presidential election with almost all votes now counted a lot of resilience he has secured a landslide win over the incumbent petro for a shake up we got reaction and it happened. to you because you were still in school is the same crew a bit of a less

a status but if you're real is known as the guy to let him try but it will be very hard i do not turn to him. which there it's unusual when suddenly a person who works in a completely different field becomes a president of a country it is unusual but at the same time it's natural selenski rightly said that he was created by our show that's an example of everyone's discontent with the policies which were carried out people are waiting for change especially the youth my colleague and her former spoke to oksana boycott the host of r.t.s. political talk show worlds apart about the vote for change in ukraine. well i think political technologists and political analysts will be trying to decipher this victory for months if not years to come you said that people voted for change yes i would agree with that but i think it's also difficult to understand what exactly led them to make such a decision i mean the one clear indication would be the polls prior to devote which

show that almost half of the ukraine in the electorate said that under no circumstances they would vote for the incumbent. that shows you that he had very very very strong negative speech i suppose if he benefited from because while you listed some of his campaign promises he's usually criticized for being very very alive on substance he didn't actually make many complain promises and he's in there with you to deliver and will is still very much in the up and why people voted the way they did. to project an image of a strong watch on lead in the standing up to russia's president vladimir putin given the front pushing to last would you don't question how much of a factor that played in the election i think it's it's an interesting point to consider and i would just add that it's not only he's complained that focused on that his entire policies for the last three or four years focused on standing up to

do russian aggression given that these elections produced the highest margin of victory in the ukraine's. recent history i mean. you've got almost three times as many votes as per cent i think the ukrainian is getting a little bit tired of that kind of message and that's not nothing surprising because people in every country first and foremost want bread and butter issues economy living standards education health care etc i mean at the end of the day every country has a different politics but people in all countries want the same things and i think one of the big. mistakes was to stress so much his wartime image at the expanse of the promises that he made five years ago i think it's also going to be quite a bit of a challenge for the lansky as well because the ukrainian electorate has a very short political fuse they like president one day they totally dislike him

two years later i mean in thirty years that ukraine has been independent they only elected one president for the second term and that's i think one of the reasons why so then scheme is already saying that he's only going to stay for one term because securing the second one would be increasingly difficult and i think maybe he will fill that portion because spain if you years down the line international affairs commentator marco gastric says the election was above all of vote against petro poroshenko. zelinsky represents something new that i mean what do you want to push into represents he represented aggressive rule retirement he tried to be the maggie factual good old the ukraine he tried to really present himself as a rule time leader and at some point the population going to get sick of it comes to rule rhetorical. pockets and the valleys are empty and when they see the corruption that presided over that it makes it even more and they stop thinking all

we being given the story here should we get with it and so on the pushing the governance of the various districts all the ukraine who place we've only got. the middleman is removed and the only got even the population clearly voted against poroshenko and they were the represented. more news after this short break. the housing crisis was the result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times and then like goldman sachs was betting answer all clients and they were engaged in massive fraud again bailed out by timothy geithner it is friends and now they can't go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that all housing is concentrated in a few as like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval it.

seemed wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out these days to come after. and in games from it because betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. journalist organizations have condemned french police after reporters were detained on saturday during the twenty third consecutive weekend of yellow bus to protest or to charlotte has more well the two independent journalists were among the more than

two hundred individuals who were detained by police arrested in act twenty three the names are gassed by the glance and also alexis and we know that the paris prosecutor has said that they were arrested for participation in a group to commit violence or degradation now the interior ministry has been talking about the arrests of these journalists it said that the police c.r.s. these officers are out every week they're out to try and make sure that there is safety for the demonstrators and the journalist carry out these protests and also to cover these protests that have been happening since november every week since november here in france but that statement from the interior ministry then goes on to say that if journalists a deemed to have committed an offense then they are likely to also be detained and arrested by the officers on the ground now the national union of journalists in

france sees that as being just right and it has gone even further saying it believes that some journalists are being specifically targeted. there is the question the merging is their determination to intimidate journalists we have an impression some of them are being targeted since the end of vast movement a pit the number of incidents targeting john that's when they're filming or photographing how has the walk the press and nimitz the coverage of events which represent crucial public interest it's now five months since this protest movement began twenty three consecutive weeks of protests and every week sounds a little sister writes st sticks flying into all this protests last saturday i twenty three it was sixty thousand offices deployed across folks trying to fix all those protests and we've also seen the protest is turning on the police in recent weeks this if it kills saturday where there were protesters that filmed screaming

at the police go kill yourselves let's take a look at the violence that marred yet another generation protests. leaked so what can put out the fire of these protests that have been going on for so long in front president michael in hopes that the speech he's due to make on thursday to outline his response to the big debate this is the debate that they started to ask people what their issues were in france will actually call the protests will it well i'm not so sure because so far nothing has been able to stop these protests. the king of bahrain has reinstated the citizenship of more

than five hundred people it falls a wave of condemnation from global human rights groups almost a thousand nationals a pub or so since to provoke since an uprising in the country back in two thousand and eleven artist reports. this really is evolution look here if someone's being a nuisance like activists or the opposition a normal dictator would get rid of them but it's messy and everyone complains in bahrain they've come up with a novel way of getting around that it's simple and genius new citizenship new voice the un high commissioner for human rights is deeply concerned that one hundred thirty nine people in bahrain were convicted of terrorism after a mosque trial which reportedly did not meet with international fair trial standards one hundred thirty eight of these people so all but one had their

nationalities revoked standards mandates it works since two thousand and twelve according to the americans for democracy and human rights and bahrain authorities have revoked the citizenships of nine hundred and ninety nationals the third of them just last year among them the will of the undesirables the human rights defenders the political activists journalists and so on everyone who can't seem to shut up this verdict demonstrates no through sales of weaponized the aba dhruva case of citizenship to punish normal average bahrainis were and guess what happens if you complain about it yeah he loses us citizenship or get jailed or exiled this is win win for the king anyway. so much for everyone outs. they the glamour of the formula one there is

a former senator side to brain revealing the country is a deeply repressive state where anyone critical of the government can be jailed merely for posting a tweet yes but the king is also merciful he takes with one hand but gives with the other his highness has issued orders to reinstate the citizenships of more than five hundred people. citizenships so if you were sentenced to life in jail you still and die in prison but as a citizen how much more mercy do you want understand also this is been a stressful time for the king he and his family really didn't like the arab spring all that commotion and protesting and cools for democracy in common is they really didn't like it. violent clampdown.

bahrain was different from the other arab countries oh sure they bashed protests the heads in like everyone else the difference is no one really cool for the king to step down france and friends didn't bomb it like they did libya the u.s. didn't fund rebels in the islamists like they did in syria europeans didn't call for regime change like they did in egypt you know why because bahrain is a friend whom to the largest u.s. and u.k. naval bases in the region holding the pre stages title of major non nato ally.

these gulf partnerships are critical to achieving shared regional objectives defeating isis countering radical islamic terrorism protecting global energy supplies and rolling back iranian aggression with friends like these who needs human rights bahrain can get away with murder and the west will turn a blind eye and i mean a blind eye they know full well what the king is up to what his henchmen commit what suffering they heap on the people human rights issues included allegations of torture arbitrary detention political prisoners arbitrary or removal interference with privacy restrictions on freedom of expression the press and the internet substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association remarkable they'll bomb syria over mere ruelas tweets sanction iran just out the habit at this point threaten then exile or

interfere meddle in its politics trample its sovereignty because well because but bahrain with its torture abuses classical courts of making drunk on power. that's where they draw the line apparently that's just going too far in our strategic approach it is important to acknowledge with a degree of humility that there are some things that beyond change authorities claim is serious security threat remains and their actions are aimed at achieving stability and bahrain's interior minister claims terrorists coronated with iran iraq and the house by a group in lebanon have undermined peace in the region we spoke to former m.p. joe unfair rules who came under government pressure he believes by iranians are not getting enough international attention. i was part of the first group where their citizenship being revoked it and seventh of november two thousand and

twelve and they start with our group and that was. an order from minnesota and curio no evidence other than all claims being given to us political and economical rights you will lose it and you don't have any access to the health care nor do they do cation i describe it like as social dis unfortunately there are those standards and the foreign policy or many western countries mainly u.k. united states that has so much of it practical pretty well they did well the allies when the international community hit especially he was international can we did a good thing in all the reports that out of as bad as the type of the you morons well if she was in bahrain particularly out but meanwhile is being back though telly by these international allies the united kingdom may not states and not only that even

they are supporting them internationally and they mentioned and many of those speeches that bombing is going on right track why they are proud to have such allies so we see there is no logic behind it. that it is wrapped up for now but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first character that you type into the search bar. it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they

can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more rope we give them the sooner we are all. joined me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this unless i'm showbusiness i'll see that. i'm after a time when you're watching going underground and while we're away we'll be
