but the latest world news at twenty four hours a day says r.t. . amid calls by the u.s. to increase international pressure on the syrian president to step aside the mask this is now saying are of the monitors to extend their mission in the country where it won't allow any change in the scope of their brief observers or to ensure compliance with a peace plan but mission has drawn criticism from syrians themselves for failing to help stop the violence the observers mission is set to present its findings later this week released experts at the risk thanks states being steered into a biased report while the arab league was very clear it has said that the that

there was cooperation from the syrian side it also has said that there have been armed groups however there will be pressure from the west to take an attitude or take a position which is more anti her side so i am not sure if that the report will reflect truly the far facts on the ground i think that the report will be will be politicized in order to show that there are some victims of others 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 a leading sunni voice in the region the only arab country which has the size maybe to intervene which has a military of a size to intervene is egypt and egypt is procope with its own internal problems so i think this is mere rhetoric which we're hearing from i don't think will have the support of the horrors of nor will it have the support of so in western powers as will. why don't we have the latest on this from sarah first now.

the mother grandmother was with the scene as they greeted observers the infant was the seems fine always it is a reservist free for their observer mission ends come to the town of guess way just twenty minutes from the center of damascus thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you to the people who have access. to the writing was. that thank you thank you thank you father we thank you. thank you thank you i think the extremely dangerous but if i. think you mean everybody domo one day you only normally want the people only because you want to rebuild this go me go home or are never going to be gone only marry. some everybody and. none of the

neighboring everyone here it seems has been affected by the ongoing crisis everyone has a story the only people who think the. right you. see today was yes oh yes ok i'm not sure yet for the guy we knew was any of the over the lot only if so much you're wishing graphic mabel phone footage of a man who protesters claim was tortured and killed by security forces the government insists that they're fighting militant groups. now are pushing for stability through dialogue in syria calling for an end to the campaign against iran and furthering ties with the past of the economy's just some of the issues moscow has been basing with on the global arena twenty seven russia's top diplomat is set to face tough questions from all three hundred russian foreign

journalists on the country's policies during the past twelve months when artie's at peace all of the foreign ministry forces now in moscow. russia has been trying to mediate a peaceful resolution in syria and those efforts to very much you know about me. what we're expecting to hear from surrogate lover of 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 happened in libya in twenty eleven where as far as russia sees it the un mandates that are allowed to foreign military intervention was far exceeded by nato in fact we're expecting to hear sort of a lover 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 we're to 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 that twenty twelve that a new fresh approach has to be taken. so peter what else is on the agenda today. well we're very much expecting to hear talk on the united states has proposed on to 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 where and continued 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 brush her 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. is refusal to give us a these 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 hear sort of a lover of 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 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 four hour. care even if an artist

thank you for that. you know with the head of the threat to an open internet the largest online encyclopedia shuts down in protest over u.s. bill it says frankly damage internet freedom. to the ousting of changes in the president you know a new government a life of prosperity in one region which. promise hasn't come to fruition investigate why in a few minutes. hundreds of activists from the occupy wall street movement rallied on capitol hill in washington d.c. decrying 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 being arrested and we have already seen several people arrested the. 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 corporations 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 tense and end of banners you know won't change anything what do you say to that i think the tents in 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 kaput. to the white house.

here they are hundreds of people standing right outside the white house. and. the movement has certainly if paul i mean you see the last of the tents across the country already under different that is a victory of the protesters out of their occupied locations where you see more of these one time 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 a whole 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. speaks to the tourist. that is exactly how money makes the u.s. political well go arounds. why i think corruption is illegal in washington right now ultimately every member of congress is taking a check for 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 so what i propose in my book and the effort that i've been engaged in since i got 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 kind 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 broad happy end of the day. and

they can watch the full interview with the former the obvious jacket about in about fifty minutes time head out to. the world's most popular online encyclopedia 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 investigative journalist tony please the law 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 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 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 news rooms 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 a taste of what's online for you at the moment you can read about the rush from the tank on a mercy mission to an hour spent the last town to bring emergency fuel supplies an ice breaker helps it through after its last two failed to reach its destination due to intense storms and now the supply it's through no thousand residents would have enjoyed the long run going to winter plus. they have been captured by iran last year for now the u.s. is set to get its top secret surveillance photos back to catch on it's a new toy two times smaller than the original. it's easy to.

prayer. the gas a-basin is home to tunisia's phosphate mines one of the key exports in the country which ranks fifth in the world for phosphate production yet for the past three years the workers and their families have been involved in a bitter struggle with their employer gaffes of phosphates that we never took anything from the government and the authorities have always forgotten about us this year the gaffes are phosphates company or c f g conducted a competition for jobs just like they did in two thousand and eight we hope their choices would be based on a different criteria this time but they weren't. shares involvement in support of action for the miners during the authoritarian rule of president ben ali resulted in a prison term. in two thousand and eight we went on strike with the miners and were arrested all those who supported them lawyers teachers professors we were told we were an organized gang who wanted to overthrow the regime. the government's been

gone since then but the problems remained so the strikes continue unemployment in the region is at a staggering fifty five percent and while local residents believe they should be given priority when it comes to filling jobs at the mine the c.g.s. has been employing people from other regions there are no jobs for those whose parents died or were injured in the mines their families never received any compensation for their loss but i've been protesting here for six months but will stay here for a year to hear however long it takes to resolve this problem. there are many tunisians hope the ousting of autocratic ben ali will improve the situation the country the reality is rather bleak allah has what evolution has and solve the economic issues which have been happening for months now the provisional government hasn't even begun looking at ways of better than poverty and had a hole for these workers any delay in solving this crisis cost lives

a lot of people are killing themselves others are leaving the country and some have died because they were too poor to afford medical help. after the tunisian revolution and the new provisional government has promised a life of prosperity and better employment opportunities for workers in this mining town once passed by but the miners say the situation has only got worse the original location far from what their goal center of the country means their plight is as unreasonable to the new government as it was to the old one in those carty tunisia. follow all the business news is next and we cater to. business a bullet in the cellar a number of european energy firms will now get cheaper russian gas and energy monopoly gas prom has cut the cost of some long term contracts to bring them in line with market price those the move followed a ruling from several e.u.
