u.s. these days some reporters have accused the police of acting outside the law to suppress media freedom artie's innocency a choke and i reports. i no. dramatic scenes unfolding in the u.s. a must cover band for journalists that the idea i showed them and apparently that wasn't enough for the new york police his press pass feeling to pass the test this reporter got arrested while covering the occupy wall street protests no muss no fuss officer just books. and i just. tried to tell him that i'm a journalist. people out my state department. whether i have your police on unfortunately that's one expired keil rights for daily russian newspaper and has worked in the us for the last three years old don't prove you have they don't really care that just you just business and you credentials can't really protect you sent through a whirlpool like legal system the seasoned journalist was treated as a protest participant under arrest twenty four hours behind bars a quickie trial six hundred dollars in fines were his punishment for doing his job covering the news of the day and then there were the tw

that region which is has a very serious strategic importance for most of the western media again especially in the u.s. made a huge story out of it that the russia is supplying assad's regime with weaponry but it's as i said not the first time we were just heard another story that some media reported that military exercise involving iran syria china will be held somewhere in syria in the next couple of weeks these reports were also turned into a mask you syria by the media saying that russia is playing a dangerous game in the syrian backyard but this also has already been denounced by the russian defense ministry which said that no such games are possible in a conflict zone which syria so much in the is at the moment so this is definitely an all out information was not something we are completely not. we just have to wait and see what's there stories and what all this insatiable that was the media produced as i've said russia has been denying any involvement in supplying the assad regime with weaponry and firmly stands on its position that it's not so you know decides and that it's not doing anything

intervene even if it means bypassing you want you to counsel there's actually speculation in the u.s. media that the pentagon has completed its plans for military operations there must always strongly against any foreign military intervention calling for everybody to stick by strictly the quote be on peace plan and is actually saying that these calls for foreign military intervention are only backing and reassuring the rebels which is actually leading to more violence in the country and what about this story today as well about the russian ship the accusations of the russian ship making its way to syria what we know about that. just a few days after hillary clinton accused moscow of supplying military helicopters to syrian authorities the claims were not confirmed even by the pentagon or denied by russia and now we're getting new comments from the united states this time from senior military officials who say that moscow may send a small military contingent to syria they're talking about a small navy cargo ship which is all legibly sealing from the black sea navy fleet of. two of the. darkn

security council there's speculation in the u.s. media that well reported leave that mind to gone has already completed its plans for military operations there moscow is the strongly against any foreign military intervention calling for all sides to strictly stand by the coffee on peace while in fact russia is saying that these calls for foreign military intervention are all the supporting and reassuring the rebels which is actually leading to even more violence in syria ok for the most of it thanks for your help today. at this news as well now you know service in syria say they've suspended activities in the country because of escalating violence we'll bring you more on that news launches come in the last hour we spoke to this merriam yes they from a christian ministry in syria centrist in chad coming up and she says armed rebels are playing games with the u.n. monitors. we were of the first in the world to phone to the scene to tell in the night of war would end the people told us they have seen the militia and varying out of around the

during the clinton administration and the u.s. media was concentrated and it's now owned by about five big firms it's no longer run by journalists run by corporate advertising executives the value of the corporations are their federal broadcast licenses so they don't want to fish and washington or the powers that control the government so we can't rely on him on major ports and no i'm not making any excuses for obama of course not i mean how can you make excuses for a man who sits in the oval office and draws that list of people to be murdered without due process of law i don't have any excuses for any of them i'm just saying that is long is the united states can't keep the focus on europe it can keep the focus off its own far worst financial problems there are two hundred thirty trillion dollars of derivatives of which ninety six percent are on the books of the five largest u.s. banks this dos in a count of financial crisis in europe so that europe crisis is a useful thing to point a finger at so no one looks here. so what do you think

to bring espionage act charges against a staunch but that would have horrible implications for u.s. media in terms of also facing prosecution under the espionage act because so many in the mainstream media both domestically and abroad have reprinted in part or in whole things from wiki leaks and and that's the thing he hasn't even been formally charged yet but some say that the attack on assad is also an attack on a whistleblower is. absolutely you know i think it is and he has not been formally charged sweden just want him for questioning unfortunately i mean i have seen whistleblowers have to face pretextual allegations of all sorts including criminality and espionage so i understand why he may think that sweden is trying to get him over there for all teary or reasons and i don't think it would fare well in the climate right now in the u.s. where there has been no holds barred in going after people who are trying to get information out there people who are trying to tell the truth and reveal information the government in the u.s. might find embarrassing. or controversial or illegal and

u.s. in the mainstream media why not. well this is a great question and i wondered the same thing myself you look at attendees from previous years and you see very top media moguls this year we had google co-founder facebook was their pay pal so you see a lot of people in the communication network you see a lot of people high up in the media industry working to draft policies we've known in the past they're intricately involved with government entities drafting policies i mean g.e. owns and as n.b.c. so you look at just kind of the lawn of who owns these media top down corporate entities and they're kind of intricately involved in these government policies the reason why the mainstream media doesn't cover it is just that i mean you can say that they're complicit in whatever is going on in there that's a lot of what the protesters are saying the problem is that when the mainstream media does report on it they had it in previous years but this year you saw it kind of eating into the headlines and they just kind of use the t

u.s. the media chasing after any story linked to osama bin laden reported on the doctor's alleged links with the cia. here is what didn't make many headlines. health officials here say all those bin laden reports hurt the polio campaign. many pakistanis here deeply conservative, already suspicious of strangers coming into their homes, now thought the vaccination campaign was part of some sort of foreign spy plot. this father of two says he rejected free polio drops for his children. the u.s. pays for these campaigns to destroy muslims and make them slaves, he told us. >> that incident of the doctor, it affect our polio program, not only our polio program, but the rest of the health-related activity. >> reporter: health officials say thousands of pakistani families have yet to vaccinate their children without good reason. but with help of local religious leaders and aggressive awareness campaigns, they're making progress, they say, convincing more families the free vaccine can save them a lifetime of hardship and pain. children like ekra and their family endure it every day. we're trying our

u.s. from the media and civil society and other governments. they were sitting like the elephant in the room. as young people, we felt that we had to call our country out and make sure people knew that we didn't think the government was speaking on our behalf and we tried to push for more urgency and ambition. >> and what's been the response since that time? people come up to you et cetera, what do you think has been the response since that time? what has been the response after that event? >> it's interesting you saw in the video. the moderator said no one is listening to you. i didn't hear him when i said that and i kept on speaking. i think the response that is that people were listening. when young people speak up, people do listen. we don't have to be told that we need to wait until we are older to have an influence and shouldn't speak now. we have to get degrees and we have to see the world and then we will understand. i think it shows as we can all probably attest is that when we do speak up and act, people are watching. it makes an infl

u.s. support of the rebels and its recognition that there is fighting among them and already know that the media even according to the u.s. . they're concerned for example. like groups in iraq and. syria. are you know likely believed by the u.s. to be behind some of the spectacular bombings terrorist attacks in syria on the one hand you have the u.s. saying that they're concerned the armed opposition and their links to. others on the other hand you have u.s. providing so-called non-lethal aid to the armed opposition basically giving apparently a green light to other countries to arm the opposition so yes there is a contradiction there. but american secretary of state hillary clinton has sparked a war of words with her russian counterpart sergei lavrov after accusing moscow of selling attack helicopters to president assad something not even the pentagon seems to know anything about well. as more on the diplomats fiery exchange. while the top top u.n. official may have labeled the syrian conflict a full fledged civil war according to the u.s. secretary of state russia could actually be to blame fo
