how successful this tired league mission has been to play simple we actually followed the arab league mission in the final few 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 question really just how independently they were able to operate in the country on other sites as possibly we were speaking to he said league monitors didn't really seem to be taking in i can a very thing that was being said they obviously couldn't have had from every single person he wanted to speak in another question that's raised a valid question is whether these monitors were needed so what is going to be interesting moving food is whether or not this mission is now extended because it can very divisive as the response to what the people want that to happen or not some people think this really is essential to this mission continues and in fact just possibly that time 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 how he could come in as part maybe of the mission more highly qualified you have mo background in resolution and conflict resolution and dialogue because listen to his opinion on the situation. the situation. taking place no weakening syria if you are syrian and you like syria. where you are. you have to put in your mind that you have to are. working with the other side. that's certainly seen an african nation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest has it become increasingly armed to fight some. if you haven't

and 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 radio is an area of major concern. for us is helping you stay are right up to date with the latest developments in syria by her twitter stream where you can find her firsthand reports from across the country and also more news and analysis on our teams general twitter blog. it's.

going to have for tap conflict between iran and the west has now officially reached the airwaves after britain revoked a license of press t.v. iran's english language news channel the official reasons given by the u.k. stop media watchdog including a number of broken agreements and an unpaid fine of press t.v. says it's being silenced in a clear example of censorship challenges it's been targeted ever since it negatively covered the costs associated with the british royal wedding as well as last year's london riots still rings a u.k. based author and many analysts believe this is always the next logical step and isolating the islamic republic. if this had been separated from geo politics you know with this would not have happened some other kind of sanction 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 so that is the breakdown of relations between britain and iran at the end of the day i think that most of the criticisms

of press t.v. ad been due to its coverage because you know it sees the middle east very differently for example than the mainstream media in britain this repeatedly comes up pro israeli groups repeatedly complain about it 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 now what we've got is we've got a real limiting of dialogue in the may even 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 for a long long period. and stay with iran a little later in the program the making of a super villain. do you agree with president obama's initiative to monitor iran's nuclear program from the moment. against. iranian threat fran townsend to the realm of fantasy as ordinary people bombarded with media spin lose touch in

a world of drones cyber warfare and security. and taming the elements and the next winter olympics host city has already become a heaven for thrill seekers. romania is gripped by the worst protests seen there in over a decade for the second week running people have been making a stand against the 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 and listened to what people are demanding. things to see in the streets of book or arrest. you protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn violent. fighting as predicted out between police and protesters just behind me you can see the protesters bringing up fences and now bit expected to clash with the police line.

they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to chime pushy sensei's 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 has a fence thing thrown. you. are in the day thousands that poured into the remaining in capital to demand the resignation of the remaining president try and assess the opposition politicians address the crowd will that change 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

there's one thing that unites us all that we all want to say ask you to leave. but later on the mood became more militant then old then i'm old factions old hospital school children the country have to walk five kilometers through the snow to school the youth nowadays what choice do we have to go out and starts just you 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 they would. we can see some if you look over the line now some of the missiles but it being through. just in stages the police are trying to move forward and clear the square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the first testers here. as the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by take us. down.

and 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 bot. and coming up in the program the waste paradox. is that as you can see it's still perfectly edible and there's no sense that it should be wasted away. third of the population in poverty and record number of people on food stamps yet nearly half of americans get the goes to waste when meet those who live off the big. u.s. lawmakers have announced that conversation anti-piracy legislature has been temporarily shelved as follows what some see as the largest ever happier attacks on america's top 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 of the internet trevor tam 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 mess a 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 a million e-mails just 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 that there's a minute. america's expanding waistline proves the country's love affair with food but almost as much as it's consumed is being dumped in the trash every day and that's despite its district saying millions in the country are now struggling to put anything on the dinner plate now i'm at the so-called dumpster divers to see a few minutes of breaking through garbage bags can deliver a banquet. 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. geo and although is a dumpster diver instead of paying for food he romances through garbage bags on the streets of new york city. 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 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 other green 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 is this food as you can see is still

perfectly edible and there's no sense to be wasted and thrown away. otherwise it would end up. on top of the landfill somewhere and estimated 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 online at soup kitchens and ultimately searching through trash. getting ready for 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 effects the availability of food so yeah i guess it was why did they make the 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 the need to cut my expenses the first thing that you know is food so the question is why pay for that which you can get for free

ditch dad 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 its one hundred billion euros worth of loans as well as go through with a debt swap that gather with parallel bailout talks with the e.u. and i.m.f. are seen as greece's last chance to avoid financial collapse talks have been ongoing for three days now and drag on past midnight into today at work harrison founder of analytics firm credit write downs believes the eurozone is shooting itself in the food with its approach to the debt crisis. so you have the eurozone and then you have the wider it's not just about the eurozone in terms of their imbalances that have built up everywhere because ultimately the eurozone to the policy called us which basically means there they have a field policy in terms of how they're addressing the crisis they think the crisis is about public sector when in fact it's about private sector debt and so that's

really cause. the same tactics to be applied in terms of austerity budget cuts etc you know in as a result there's lots of unemployment. the whole thing is going to pieces and they're thinking it's all about the budget but it's not while top economists and politicians and gage and yet more talks to find a remedy to the ongoing debt crisis max and stacey are back to draw parallels between the recent ship back in italy and how financial chiefs handled the debt contagion that's in the last edition of the kaiser report coming your way at nine thirty g.m.t. here's a preview. had ben bernanke the 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 set on the next winter olympics in sochi in two years' time and the host city which has always been

a lure for scores of thrill seekers and making safety a main priority today are thousands dennis polonsky reports on a brave man who are fighting the danger lurking behind a picture perfect mountain peaks. hunters have explosives and cannons on their song and. their mission to keep the moment clear and see. and this is the air support. hydrogen proved cool daisy bell is deployed from a helicopter to glue ups new 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 lineage 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 you know 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 the kelowna we build a thirty page thirty centimeter call a tall one and we hit it with a shovel exactly ten times very slightly as the calling falls apart at some point that means the snow is too soft and it will collapse the avalanche team surveys every new can cranny 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 there is a hold out and besides giving warnings to free riders all areas have to be avalanche free the morning survey is over so now it's time for snow angels to

descend to their headquarters and pass on the good news. skipper cold calling dispatch over. their north routes were given permission to lead the tourists and start the cable cars. in february and march this resort will host international ski competitions bringing new challenges for the avalanche team ahead of the two thousand and fourteen winter games when the venue faces its ultimate test learning to tame the white beast will be more important than ever. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world somali government forces and african union troops have launched an offensive against islamist rebel hideouts on the outskirts of the country's capital four somali soldiers and a government official were killed in the heavy fighting against al qaeda linked militants it's the biggest of these launches strongholds in several months. a

series of coordinated gun and bomb attacks have killed at least seven people in northern nigeria the radical islamists. claimed responsibility for the deaths that targeted different locations including police stations and the regional police have quaters the group has been behind a recent campaign of violence in the country's mostly muslim north. the company which owns the costa concordia cruise ship is facing a lawsuit in the u.s. italy's consumer association of once at least one hundred sixty thousand dollars for each passenger on the vessel many blame the captain of the ship for the tragedy which killed eleven people and injured hundreds more when the liner hit rocks last week. while there 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 about surrounded by fantasy are these new york resident or hardness

went out into 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 is the threat specifically. our safety passed out. we cannot tell you what's his initiative to monitor iran's nuclear program from them based 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 one 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 tried to have a meaningful discussion with someone about politics. i try every day a little pretty pretty bad to be honest so you never going to know where they were even if they did put something up there you wouldn't know anyways so it's a show you we don't know if it is a year's overstress or not sure yet but do you think amundsen's takes over a little bit oh ok we don't know because that deep space but our moon you think we would know. tonight they're going to look up there the shiva goes for the anything on my digital camera so it seems like some people are listening to what's being said and i 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. our special report on the mystical traditions of siberia's coming up in a few minutes after an update of the top story stay with us.
