the now the arab league mission in the country to oversee the implementation of the arab peace plan by syria's government now among other things that included the release of political prisoners and the withdrawal of the government troops and tanks from some of the towns and cities how successful this arab 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 lexi and the credibility of the mission certainly seeing the way that they operated it clued into question really just how independently they were able to operate in the country all of the sites were possibly we're speaking to he said 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 in another question that's raised about this mission is whether more of these monitors were needed then what is going to be

interesting moving food is whether or not this mission is now extended because it can very divisive 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 we can listen to his opinion on the situation now . the situation. taking place no we are weakening syria if you are syrian and you like syria. where you are. you have to put in your mind that you have to have. working with. the certainly seen in africa lation of the conflict here in the country will started off. as

a peaceful protest has it become increasingly armed to fight in some areas 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 he was 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. sara for the reporting right there and she is helping to keep all of us are right up to date with the latest developments in syria this being a via twitter stream you can find her first one hundred boards from all across the country of course more news on analysis you can find twenty four seventh's on artie's general twitter.

it's good to have you with us here today and the ongoing tit for tat conflict between iran and the west has now officially reached the airwaves this after britain revoked the license of press t.v. that so iran's english language news channel the official reasons given out by the u.k.'s top media watchdog include a number of broken agreements and an unpaid fine but press t.v. says is being silenced is a quote clear example of censorship the channel alleges it's been targeted ever since it negatively cover the costs associated with the british royal wedding as well as last year's london riots feel very say u.k. based author and a media analyst believes this is only the next logical step in further isolating the islamic republic. if this had been separated from

geopolitics then you know with this would not have happened and 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 geopolitical terms and 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 me in the british media and i think that's a tragedy and certainly a tragedy at a time when british relations are at their lowest ebb for a long long period. staying with iran

a little bit later in the program here on the making of a supervillain. do you agree with president obama's the nation. iran's nuclear program from the moment. against the iranian threat transcends into the realm of fantasy so ordinary people bombarded with media spin lose touch in a world of drones cyber warfare and nuclear ambition. and taming the elements in the next winter olympics host city that's already become a haven for thrill seekers. romania 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 and they're crying out over low wages rising corruption thora tarion tendencies hundreds of arrests dozens of injuries reported in the recent two weeks now with clashes amid police bottom listen to what it is that the people are demanding. things to

see in the streets of book or arrest. protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn file. 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 pushes fancies 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 there's a fence being thrown. you. earlier 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 is 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 hospitals school children a 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 what. they would. we can see some if you look over the line now.

that it being through. just in stages the police are trying to move forward include a square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the protesters here. as the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by tear gas. and the struggle of those seized the. day and night protesters have been demanding big political change in romania. but is this is anything to go by the route to reform long and hard fought on but party and with romanians are letting out pent up frustrations out on the streets max and stacey now focus on the some of the major culprits behind the issue of worldwide inequality and as it turns out there are striking coincidences between the sinking

of the concordia cruise liner and the state of the world's economy in the late edition of the kaiser report coming your way at thirteen thirty g.m.t. . had ben bernanke event 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 bank's credit lines by a trillion year zero 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. you with on t.v. now u.s. lawmakers have announced that controversial and piracy legislator has been temporarily show this follows what some see as the largest ever. saw in america's top governmental and entertainment industries website sunday mass internet blackout in protest over the potential new laws to stop online piracy act on the protect ip act both designed to curb illegal downloading and protect copyright but critics say they would lead to censorship of the internet traffic him from the electronic frontier foundation says americans are seeing the news as

a real victory in the battle for online freedom. we saw over one hundred fifteen thousand sites somehow alter their web pages are somewhat also what their web page is a lie. of them blacked out completely meaning that users couldn't even gets them including with the p.t.o. which is the sixth largest site in the us this sent a huge huge message 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 i'm 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 online activism in internet freedom with auto yanda still to come in the program the issue of the waste power adox. is this as you can

see it's still perfectly edible and there's no sense that it should be placed in the way of the population in poverty a record number of people on food stamps yet nearly half of america's good food goes to waste on a daily basis we need those who live off the. rushers space agency has now announced ambitious plans to step up exploration of the moon and is even called for the creation of a permanent base that cosmos sort of also boost cooperation with his partners in the u.s. and the european union. now brings us more on the story. really what we're looking at is the first steps towards a new chapter in the exploration of the moon of course the closest thing to us in the cosmos we really should go back there and find out more about it now what with what ross cosmos have proposed is to send two unmanned probes to the moon that will

collect samples and return back to earth so that could be analyzed with the hope eventually that we can set up a permanent base on the moon now this all sounds very science fiction but it could very soon be science fact a moon base has been said that it could very well be a very good place to to launch spacecraft from could also be a very good place to build spacecraft to cause the the gravity of the moon much less than there is an earth we would get see the effects less than gravity or zero gravity would have on a spacecraft much more than we can ever simulate on earth now this is something that's not only exciting. also exciting those that keep an eye on space exploration and show his genius post which will first explore the planet structure in order to understand the moon's origins which will help us understand more about the earth origins we want to know how the earth came into being and the moon will help us in establishing this because it still preserve some elements that have vanished from

the earth the moon's conditions for a launch in space missions are much better than the earth's they're less energy consuming so it may well come at some point to building spacecraft there filling them with fuel made of water developed right there on the moon and sending them are from further space missions that's what i think it will be like hopefully lots of very exciting things that we can see coming up in the next few years there i say that hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up a permanent home on the moon. it is pretty all about reporting right there now if you missed something on era don't hesitate to catch up on our website r.t. dot com all the stories we're covering always available for us twenty four seven including the wonders of engineering from the u.s. spy drone manufacturers the latest eventually may be looking but it's causing outrage among americans as the trademark of washington's overseas operations becomes a major tool for police use. the man who will always find

a use for every piece of scrap he could turn a high powered transformer from the nine hundred sixty s. into a fancy d.j. booth will produce a fully functioning bike. and found. with r.t. live from moscow 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 despite statistics saying millions in the country are now struggling to put anything on the dinner plate. porton i am at the so-called dumpster divers who say a few minutes of raking through garbage bags can deliver quite the 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. doesn't look like geo and although is a dumpster diver instead of paying for food he romances 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 raisin raisin 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 balls. 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 that it should be wasted and 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

a big show in the documentary die 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 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 because my expenses are first thing that goes food so the question is why pay for that which you can get for free. marine upper nile r.t. new york ok let's spend a moment here with the r.t. world update or some other headlines from around the world for you in brief 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 the al qaeda linked militants it's the biggest offensive on the islamist stronghold now in several months. a series of coordinated gun and bomb attacks of

killed at least nine people in northern nigeria including two journalists at the radical islamist sect boko haram has claimed responsibility for the deaths that targeted different locations including police stations and the regional police headquarters of the group has been behind a recent campaign of violence in the country's mostly muslim north. the parliament of yemen has a rule that the country's x. president ali abdullah saleh can keep his political and legal immunity altering law proposed by the temporary government paper said the subways administration should also be immune from prosecution but under the new ruling they can be tried on corruption charges it was produced at the end of last year and signed by as a precondition to his departure following nearly ten months of civil unrest but before that though he had been president for about thirty three years. i think it's from around the world already have their sights firmly set on the next

winter olympics in sochi that's happening in two years' time and the host city which is always been a lure for scores of thrill seekers is making safety a main priority today artie's it's a nice polaski reports on the brave men 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 peaks clear and see. 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 full of 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 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 you know if the kelowna we build a thirty page thirty centimeter color 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 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. sure calling this birch over. were given permission to lead the tours to 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 wide beast will be more important than ever done as will all ski r t. twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow where there is a wide spread consensus that certain governments and groups to go out of their way to make iran seem a bigger threat than it could be but as the practice continues public opinion on

the country and ways to deal with it are becoming all but surrounded by fantasy parties new york resident laurie huff and us went on to 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 rub 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 that they get into 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 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 shaky hands 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 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 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.
