to take an attitude or take a position which is more handy highside so i'm not sure if that be the report will reflect truly the far facts on the ground i think that the report will be will be politicized and in order to show that there are some victims in order to show that our side for example and the syrian army are still practicing oppression you have to remember here that qatar and maybe even turkey is where all their main aim is to be leading so many a voice in the region the only horrible country which has a soyuz maybe to intervene which has a military of a size to intervene is egypt and he jumped to his pro coupled with its own internal problem so i think this is mere rhetoric which we're hearing from cult i don't think would have the support all the horrors of war want to have the support of so western powers as well and we have the latest on this from us arafat's now.
1:01 am
going to have a kid with a fiend the creature did they impose this regime finally get it ready three fold their heads that the nation and the country the town of play just twenty minutes this century in there. was any head of the arab league was. that he cried out we had our good guy bad guy it was probably. was. very introspective i. think it was made we don't want any only we don't want to. only because we want to we don't just get me you're not even going to be don't only learn. them everybody and anybody no need any being. everyone here it seems has been affected by the ongoing crisis everyone has a story that i think they think oh thank you.

1:03 am
a peaceful resolution in syria and there's a very much alive and. well what we're expecting to hear from the foreign minister when he starts speaking in just under an hour's time is syria expected to dominate the address from him now russia its position on syria has been to condemn both sides for their part in the violence which continues to rage in the country russia has said that they are vehemently opposed to any kind of outside military interference into syria whether that's from anybody in the west or whether it's our league peacekeepers being sent into the into the middle eastern country russia opposes any kind of foreign military intervention but russia still wants to see peaceful coming through dialogue in syria and one of the reasons russia so vehemently against outside military intervention is they feel let down by what
1:04 am
happened in libya in twenty eleven where as far as russia sees it the un mandates that allowed to foreign military intervention was far exceeded by nato in fact we are expecting to hear of call for an investigation into how nato is allowed to go as far as russia sees it far beyond the parameters of that u.n. resolution now with regards to iran we're expecting to hear a lover of say that well. a fresh approach has to be found between the west and the islamic republic as far as russia seems to be concerned that the sanctions have placed on iran haven't been working and that if the see a solution to this situation concerning iran's nuclear program that really start to flare up towards the end of twenty eleven if we'll find a solution for the twenty twelve that a new fresh approach has to be taken. so what else is on the agenda today.
1:05 am
well we're very much expecting to hear talk on that the united states has proposed missile defense system now again a topic this towards the end of twenty eleven really we saw some major flash points where the united states refused to give any kind of written confirmation about what type of. how far reaching the anti-missile defense shield in eastern europe would be they refused to give that written confirmation to russia russia said that they were willing to negotiate and continue talks with the united states over the placement of anti-missile defense shield bases in eastern europe however if it needed to be a game of give and take if the u.s. wasn't willing to help russia out then there was a chance that russia could pull out of certain agreements over weapons and the disposal of weapons with the u.s. now we also saw of course radar stations being placed in kaliningrad a response by the kremlin to the u.s.
1:06 am
is refusing to give us a taste these written confirmation over just what the u.s. is planning to do with their missile defense shield it's not just military topics that will be on the table of course we were expecting is also to. speak about the future of the economic growth in the bric countries the group of brazil russia india and china these emerging economies russia hoping to develop trade with that group over twenty twelve the end of two. eleven we saw india and indian delegation here the prime minister of india in the country to talk about the ring trade. well we expect to hear him say that type of furthering of agreements between these this group of emerging economies will be developing over twenty twelve throughout twenty . carry over there for now. thank you for that. are you with the head of the threat to an open internet largest online encyclopedia

shuts down in protest over u.s. bill gates basically damage internet freedom. to the ousting of easy and president you know a new government a life of prosperity in one region which. promise hasn't come to fruition investigate wine a female. hundreds of activists from the occupy wall street movement rallied on capitol hill in washington d.c. crying corporate influence in america but the event didn't live up to the hype of organizing to draw tens of thousands of people going to church again has more. the protesters have shifted their focus from wall street to capitol hill and here they are hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the u.s. capitol building they have a permit to protest on this lawn but once they step outside the lawn they risk
1:08 am
being arrested and we have already seen several people arrested and there are. protesters say when the interests of big corporations are at stake their voice their interests no longer count and they're angry at the fact that the influence of money is only set to grow in u.s. politics supreme court's decision now allows cooperations to funnel as much money as they wanted to candidates and protesters say it's legalized corruption. the cozy relationship between big businesses on lawmakers here ledge to the complete lack of oversight over wall street which brought about the financial crisis of two thousand and eight and not just americans were affected but the whole world so people here want money out of politics but it's easier said than done and a lot of people especially outside the movement are very much skeptical about whether the protests can actually change something some say that the tents and the
1:09 am
banners you know won't change anything what do you say to that i think the tents and the banners are crucial part of being publicized and being public about it because it's so easy to ignore movement unless it's in your face do you think the movement has any impact i mean it's been there for four months right on the movement has a huge impact in that a lot of things that are not even talked about in the political agenda usually are now being talked about there is in the news on a constant basis talking about income inequality the fact that corporations are running our government have stolen our elections so many times with all the legalized bribery in the campaign finance system and other things that are most legal moving into the night hundreds more you not thousands joined the protest and they marched all the way from capita. to the white house. here they are hundreds of people standing right outside the white house.
1:10 am
the movement has certainly in paul i mean you see the last of the chants of the country was already under different pretenses and that is they have a victory of the protesters out of their occupied locations but you see more of these one time actions one day rallies like this one which started on capitol hill and continued all the way to the white house right here these people are here to get their message across all a lot of young people around but again whether or not these protests will bring any result that that still remains very much on clear. but we'll keep our eye wall street movement has been protesting against the power of corporations and big bucks for four months now let's speaks to the tourist lobbyist jack abramoff that is exactly how money makes the u.s. political world go around. why i think corruption is illegal in washington right
1:11 am
now ultimately every member of congress who's taking a check a contribution from a lobbyist or from a company or from a union or anyone who needs or get something from washington whether it's conscious or not they're involved and so what i propose in my book in the effort that i've been engaged in since i've gotten out of prison is a way to separate money out of politics here and basically to say that if you're a lobbyist or you're somebody who's trying to get something from the government here you may not give a dollar politically of any car because the end of the day political contributions if i give you something if you're a congressman and i give you a contribution and i want something from you that contribution may not be called a bribe but it is a brawl at the end of the day. and they can watch the full interview with the former the obvious jack up in about fifteen minutes time here out. of the world's most popular online encyclopedia
1:12 am
has gone on strike the english language version of wikipedia has shut down for twenty four hours of an anti-piracy bill is being debated in the u.s. congress designed to protect copyrighted material critics point out it could also damage internet freedom best it could save journalist tony guzzling believes that all is already obsolete but media corporations are still hoping to use it to control public opinion. who are the real pirates who are the big guns here in the in the media world and on the internet the answer is the people with the big money who are backed by the banking system wall street etc i mean what we've seen for example in the last few days is even rupert murdoch coming out and talking about google as the pirates google piracy this is absolute nonsense of course because all google is simply doing is linking to other sites there is existing law which is perfectly adequate to actually stop people who are doing genuine piracy and also
1:13 am
responsible big providers like google and you tube they have perfectly good systems if someone is having their material taken away removed or whatever and just pirated around the internet as they call it then all you do is you you contact those people you explain that this is your material and they're actually very good at identifying that stuff and taking it down when necessary this whole proposal from the industry is really because the internet is is eating in to their monopoly on what we see and hear and i actually like to see the internet do that more and more in the future because we've got we're getting a bum deal from the mainstream media in the western world what they're doing is they're spinning for stuff far too much and what's happening is that some of the mainstream media newsrooms are becoming chokepoints for the truth the truth simply isn't coming out because they've decided what messages they want the public to hear in the western world. well there's more news an eye catching video twenty four hours a day at r.t. dot com here's
