syria's government power most of the things that included the releasing political prisoners and the withdrawal of the government troops and tanks from some of the towns and cities how successful the sad league mission has been is to play simple we actually followed the arab league mission in the final days here in the country now there are questions raised as to when we try to see and the credibility of the mission certainly seeing the way that they operated it couldn't a question really just how it independently they were able to operate in the country all of the sizes before some people were speaking to you he said the arab league monitors didn't really seem to be taking in account a very thing that was being said they obviously couldn't have cared for every single passenger he wanted to speak to the scene another question that's raised a valid question is whether a little more of these monitors were needed then what is going to be interesting even food is whether or not this mission is now extended because it can very

divisive a very as a response to what the people want that the hospital not some people think this really is essential to this mission continues and in fact just possibly that top i was speaking to one of the former advisors to the government and indeed the previous government here in syria what he said to me was possibly there are other figures that he could come in as part maybe of the mission who are more highly qualified you have no background in resolution and conflict resolution and dialogue the symphony seen an accusation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest if it's become increasingly out of the fighting from there if you haven't owned insurgency in areas where now the government no longer have control again you've got all these different factions no one really knows anymore who has the voice of the people and as we've heard from a number of people we've been speaking to that really is an area of major concern. sarah ferguson helping you stay right up to date with the latest developments in

syria by her twitter stream where you can find her first hand reports from across the country and also boring news and analysis on our team's general twitter blog. the ongoing tips for tat conflict between iran and the west has now officially reached the airwaves after britain revote the license of press t.v. iran's english language news channel efficiency reasons given by the u.k.'s top media watchdog including a number of broken agreements and and i'm paid to find it

a press t.v. says it's being silenced in a clear example of censorship alleges it's been targeted oh ever since is negatively cover the costs associated with the british royal wedding as well as last year's london riots so rees the u.k. based author and media analyst believes this is only the next logical step in isolating the islamic republic. but if this had been separated from geopolitics there is no what this would not have happened and some other kind of sanctions would have been would have been made and the deal would have been struck so i think the press t.v. has been viewed through geo political terms press t.v. failed to comply with one or two matters i mean they said they didn't pay the fine and they refused to accept that overall control should lie in it in london whereas in fact it is a an arm of what we see around you in state t.v. . so there. issues there on

a technical level you know this process has been unfolding for a while i mean there's been a bit longer heads for a while of course it was so many things we know by the way from wiki leaks we know very well that the british government at the very highest level was discussing with the american ambassador here how to limit press t.v.'s output in britain so i think the press t.v. has been viewed through geo political terms so that is the breakdown of relations between britain and iran so you know what we've got these we've got a real limiting of dialogue in the british media and i think that's a tragedy and certainly a tragedy at a time when british arraying in relations are at their lowest ebb a long period and staying with iran a little later in the program the making of a supervillain. do you agree with president obama at the nation to monitor iran's nuclear program from the moment. iranian threat or insanity into the realm of fantasy as ordinary people bombarded with media spin to lose

touch in a world of drones cyber warfare and security. and taming the elements in the next winter olympics host city that's already become a heaven for thrill seekers. for many is gripped by the worst protest seen there in over a decade for the second week running people have been making a stand against their government crying out over a low wages rising corruption and authoritarian tendencies hundreds of arrests and dozens of injuries were reported during clashes with police are just on bargain listen to what people are demanding. things to see in the streets is book or arrest. you protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn violent. fighting as this group could out between police and protesters just behind me you

can see the protesters bringing up fences and now bit expected to clash with the phillies line here they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to chime pushy senseis into the police line now. this is a voluntary one hope that they could avoid today but it seems that it has broken out after all it has a fence being thrown. you. really are in the day thousands that poured into the remaining in capital to demand the resignation of the remaining president try and assess opposition politicians address the crowd will that he has come from all over the country means that this right has begun and it must not stop until we reach what we want what we need.

and some people are upset because they've lost their job service because their pension was cut and others because they're being humiliated every day but there's one thing that unites us all that we all want to siskiyou to leave. but later on the mood became more militant then old then bank building factories older posts of schoolchildren the country have to walk five kilometers through the snow to school the youth nowadays what choice do we have to go out and start to steal to start marking people for a person so we go to italy spain and germany to start to steal what for we want jobs. back i think it was. we can see some if you look over the line now some of the misnomer is that if being thrown. just in stages the police are trying to move forward and clear the square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the protest to say it.

was the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by take us. on the struggle of those seized. day and night protesters have been demanding big political change in romania. but is this is anything to go by the route to reform that long and hard fought tom bottom. line coming out in the program the ways paradox. this as you can see is still perfectly edible and there's no sense it should be wasted thrown away. a third of the population and poverty a record number of people on food stamps yet nearly half of america's good food goes to waste daily we need those who live off the. u.s. lawmakers have announced as controversial antipiracy legislature has been

temporarily shelved this fall is what some see as the largest ever a hacker attacks an american stop governmental and entertainment industries websites and mass internet blackout in protest over the potential new laws to stop online piracy act and protect ip act were designed to curb illegal downloading and protect copyright but critics say they would lead to censorship on the internet forever tim from the electronic frontier foundation says americans are seeing the news as a real victory in a battle for online freedom. we saw over one hundred fifteen thousand sites somehow alter their web pages or somewhat alter what their web pages a lot of them blacked out completely meaning that users couldn't even gets them including with a pedia which is the sixth largest us this huge huge measured message to congress you know most of the american public hadn't even heard about these bills before the blackout day and once these sites blacked out everybody started calling their congress men and e-mailing them we had sent out over one hundred e-mails on sorry

a million e-mails just in that one day google got seven million signatures on their petition and so by the end of the day we had a huge swing in congress so it was a major victory for you know mind that there's a minute. well america's expanding waistline proves the country's love affair was food but almost as much as it's consumed is being dumped in the trash every day and that's despised to stay saying millions in the country are now struggling to put anything on the dinner plate or not met the so-called dumpster divers say a few minutes of raking through garbage bags can deliver a quick. the number of people on food stamps has reached an all time high more and more people are going hungry one in three americans live in or near poverty and suffering hunger in this land of plenty. in this land of plenty roughly

two point seven million tons of food is reportedly raised and grown each year the same country that loves so much to consume calories. also loves to waste that. this is a geo and although is a dumpster diver instead of paying for food he wrote much as through garbage bags on the streets of new york city here's another truth were tons of edible food is thrown out each night i've never found that's not the size of the pizza here this is a bigger reason reason bagel the twenty seven year old musician makes his way from the bakery to the deli there's hot food here which probably comes from a hot food bar relying on supermarket trash for his essential vitamins even without opening the bag i can see the orange. and some of the

greens what we and those crowding around g.o.c. is that in a country where more than forty million people struggle daily to get enough food millions of meals are literally being wasted as this food as you can see is still perfectly edible and there's no sense should be wasted thrown away. otherwise it would end up. on top of the landfill somewhere and as to me the thirty to fifty percent of u.s. food produced for consumption ends up at landfills each year that comes at an annual cost of one billion dollars simultaneously food prices continue to rise leaving millions more on line at soup kitchens and ultimately searching through trash. eating meat to be sure the documentary dive follows filmmaker jeremy seifert and his friends in the back alleys and rubbish piles of los angeles as thousands of dollars worth of edible food is salvaged it's a result of our excess we are

a wealthy country and we have excess and so waste is really necessarily a byproduct of excess and it's a bad habit of sort of the spoiled rich kid as it were amid america's expanding climate of food waste critics say the country's overall carelessness causes ripple effects around the world it is a global market now and our overconsumption directly impacts the hungry and the poor in other countries us taking more than we need and wasting it affects the prices of food affects the availability of food so yeah i guess that was why they make a film there was a sense of outrage at the injustice of food waste something of a paradox society defined both by wasteful consumption and an ongoing struggle to

make ends meet i need to cut my expenses are first thing that goes food so the question is. why pay for that which you can get for free. marina r.t. new york. and if you missed something on air don't hesitate to catch up on the website all the stories we're covering are always available there for you including the wonders of engineering from u.s. spy drone manufacturers. their latest invention may be cute looking but it's causing outrage among americans as the trademark of washington's overseas operations becomes a major tool for police and home plus. three the man who will always find a use for every piece of scrap you could turn a high power transformer from the sixty's into a fancy to. both or produce a fully functioning by the odds and garage.

last ditch dead right off talks between athens and its international creditors appears to be nearing conclusion that's according to greek officials athens is imploring private investors to forgive one hundred billion euros worth of loans as well as go through with a debt swap negotiations together with parallel bailout talks with the e.u. and i.m.f. are seen as greece's a last chance to avoid financial collapse talks have been ongoing for three days now and dragged on past midnight into today whatever harrison founder of analytics firm credit write downs believes eurozone is shooting itself in the food whether it's the debt crisis. so you have the eurozone and then you have the wider it's not just about the eurozone in terms of debt there are imbalances that are built up everywhere because ultimately the eurozone is in

a policy called which basically means they're they have a failed policy in terms of how they're addressing the crisis they think the crisis is about public sector debt when in fact it's about private sector debt and so that's really caused the same tactics to be applied in terms of austerity budget cuts etc and you know in as a result there's lots of unemployment and the whole thing is going to pieces and there's thinking it's all about the budget but it's not. while top economists and politicians engage in yet more talks to find a remedy to the ongoing debt crisis max and stacy are back to draw parallels between the recent shipwreck in italy and how financial chiefs held the debt contagion that's in the last edition of the kaiser report coming your way next hour here's a preview. and then bernanke you better in charge of rescuing the cruise ship his solution would have been to take a boat out of the ship with

a crowbar and make the hole in the boat and all the problems bigger that's the central bank solution to the global economic crisis is to make the whole bigger with artificially low interest rates this is what's making the situation even worse and of course in europe we find out they're going to expand the european central banks credit lines by a trillion euro that's the exact opposite of what is required to bring some of this accountability that you're talking about the maritime law stepped in people are drowning. they're obviously dying so maritime law came in and said ok we have to impose the law now in the global economy people are dying from the derivatives that are being created that are making the top one tenth of one tenth percent fabulously rich and everyone else is choking on their own fiscal vomit and the regulators are making that easier for the criminals.

athletes from around the world already have their sights firmly sat on the next winter olympics in sochi in two years time in the host city which has always been a lure for scores of thrill seekers as making safety a main priority they are reports on the brave man who are fighting the danger lurking behind the picture perfect mountain peaks. so chiefs avalanche hunters have explosives and cannons on their side. their mission to keep the mountain be clear and say. and this is the air support. the hydrogen prove called daisy bell is deployed from a helicopter to blow up snow banks and hard to reach areas it's been snowing heavily in sochi this weekend skip earth for a magnificent but what may seem is just snow to most of us can provide prize last

day total recall avalon chanters learned is the team's lead expert he uses computers and weather stations to monitor the snowfall but being a local who's been living in the caucasus mountains for over forty years the man says there is more to his job than that. though is a living being it has its own life you just have to learn how to understand it and this in turn is only possible if you spend your life with it. at times however the snow can turn nasty if there's more than twenty centimeters chances are high it's going to slide for real proves the clues are easy to discover if you know if the guy gal or not we build a thirty page thirty centimeter call of a tall one and we hit it with a shovel exactly ten times very slightly at the call and falls apart at some point that means the snow is too soft and it will collapse. the avalanche team surveys every new concrete any of the resort they say russians love to push the boundaries and many skiers like riding off the beaten track but safety is first that draws

a holder and besides giving warnings to free riders all areas have to be avalanche the morning survey is over so now it's time for snow angels to descend to their headquarters and pass on the good news. people are. going to dispatch over. there not. given permission to have to start the cable cars. in february and march this resort will host international ski competitions bringing new challenges for the avalanche team head of the two thousand games when the venue faces its ultimate test learning to team the white beast will be more important than ever. are. now is to look at some other stories from around the world somali government forces and african union troops have launched an offensive against islamic rebel hideouts

on the outskirts of the country's capital for somali soldiers and a government official were killed and having fighting against al qaeda linked militants it's the biggest offensive on these lot a stronghold in several months. a series of coordinated gun and bomb attacks have killed at least seven people in northern nigeria the radical islamic sect balkan iran has claimed responsibility for the deaths that targeted different locations including police stations and the regional police headquarters the group has been behind a recent campaign of violence in the country's mostly muslim north. a company which owns the wrecked costa concordia cruise ship is facing a lawsuit in the u.s. italy's consumer association wants at least one hundred sixty thousand dollars for each passenger on the vessel many blame the captain of a ship for the tragedy which killed eleven people and injured hundreds more when the liner hit rocks last week. where is a widespread consensus that certain governments and groups go out of their way to

make iran seem a bigger threat than i could ever be but as a practice continues public opinion on the country and ways to deal with it are becoming all but surrounded by fantasy are these new york resident or hardness went out on the streets of the big apple to see just how far the truth can be stretched . in the case of iran's nuclear capabilities people are quick to make judgments based on what they hear in the media but are they actually listening to what's being said this week let's talk about that do you agree with president obama's initiative to monitor iran's nuclear program from the moon. yes why i think it's important to know what's going on i do yeah why well just because of the threat to the world what it is is the threat specifically. our safety passout. we can talk he says initiative but to monitor iran's nuclear program from the base

on the most yeah yeah i think that's crazy it's just crazy to monitor it from the moon or what they're doing whatever you believe do you agree with his program. i think you're putting me on you don't believe that from the moon. maybe from a satellite but i think you're putting me on would you be surprised to know that a lot of people just say blindly that they agree with the program from the moon oh that wouldn't surprise me at all that people not humans are lemmings well for things i like to jump off cliffs doesn't the media have a responsibility to guide the lemmings down a better path no lemmings should have their mind of their own and they should be educated i mean people are watching t.v. radio internet so it's if you know even if you're looking for some going of disease you know you find so many interpretations so which one is the right on this difficult yet people say i saw it on the internet so i believe it's absolutely true

so it's very hard to find the right source most people just don't have the time don't have the inclination come people there to get into it if you ever try to have a meaningful discussion with someone about politics. i try every day it's pretty pretty bad to be honest you never going to know where they were even if they did put something up there you wouldn't know anyways so. we don't know if he has a year's overstress or not so yeah but do you think common sense takes over a little bit oh yes ok we don't know because that's deep space but our moon you think we would know. tonight they're going to look up there to see vegas for the anything on my digital camera so it seems like some people are listening to what's being said and are thinking for themselves let's just hope they can catch the much more subtle inaccuracy as they're bombarded with by the media every day.
