how successful the sad league mission has been to place it will actually followed the arab league mission in the final few days here in the country now there are questions raised as to the neutrality 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 although the size of the force. didn't really seem to be taking in account a very thing those things that they obviously couldn't have had from every single passenger he wanted to see in another question that's raised about its mission is whether more of these monitors were needed than what is going to be interesting moving forward is whether or not this mission is now extended because they 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 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 weakening syria if you are syrian and you like syria well there you are. where you are. you have to put in your mind that you have to work with the other side working with the other side. of the certainly seen an escalation of the conflict here in the country will start it off as a peaceful protest if it become increasingly on the fight somewhere 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.

up to date with the latest developments. you can see right here. all across the country. twenty four. temporarily to controversial. and follow some of the largest ever.

governmental industry websites and. internet blackout in protest support a. little help to protect. google and wikipedia. the free flow of information lawmakers have stressed that although the initiative will be revived. these laws are not just. fortunately the provisions were written so broadly that they would probably end up censoring millions of innocent users who never even thought about copyright infringement and the worst part was it wasn't going to stop online piracy you know the bills didn't go directly after the owners of these sites they kind of went around everything around it so it was going to be censored domain names or they were going to be delisted from search engines on the orders. government or

corporations were going to allow be allowed to cut off payment process or an advertiser from these sites just basically on an allegation in a post court order and then again there was going to be brought immunity for in that service providers to enforce these bills so they could end up over blocking sites and capturing innocent users and even blocking sites voluntarily just on the unofficial orders of corporations so that there was a lot of a lot of free speech problems with these bills overall goal of stopping online piracy you know it's it's it's something everybody agrees with but the way they want to about it was just completely. expansive and quite frankly ridiculous. well the u.k. authorities are also being accused of trying to curb the freedom of speech but over the airwaves britain has revoked the license of press t.v. . news china saying its editorial policies are controlled by. the media regulator also cited licensing by press t.v.

the ban is politically motivated and calls it quote a clear censorship. of media analyst believes it's the way of the station. that led to its being taken off the air. if this had been separated from geopolitics then you know what 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 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 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. still have for you this hour billions worth of products going to waste in the united states. just. sort of the spoiled rich kid as it were look at how a love for food is resulting in tons of edible stuff being thrown away in a country where millions struggle just to get by on food stamps. and taming of the elements in the next winter olympics host city we have people on daily patrols who punched out on launchers that ensure safety for skiers. and the austerity is intensifying in europe with the latest round of on a rest taking place this time in romania thousands of people are demanding the

resignation of the government and the president in the worst protests seen in the country for years romanians have been suffering under harsh austerity measures imposed in order to secure a cash injection from international creditors tom botton has these details. i. think. the streets are correct. protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now with the demonstrations in flight. fighting as broken out between police and protesters just behind me you can see the protest is bringing up fences and now going to expect it to clash with the police line here they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to time pushes fences into the police line now. this is

a voluntary one hope that they could avoid today but the same that it has broken out after all has a fence thing thrown. at. 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 all that didn't just come from all over the country that 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 than i was then and only factions old opposed to 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 start marking people for a person so we go to italy spain and germany to start to steal what for we one jockey went back into what we can see some if you look over the line now some of the missiles but 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 first test to see if. as the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by two guys. and the struggle of those seized the day and night protesters have been demanding big political change. but if this is anything to go by the route to reform

that long and hard fought bought out. and a little bit later today here on our t.v. max keiser and stacy herbert compare the economic crisis to the recent costa concordia cruise disaster of focusing on cuttings are abandoning financial ship so the program coming up next hour. so this captain schettino he's brought to shore he's now everybody knows he's abandoned ship his excuse costa concordia captain says he tripped and fell into lifeboat and that's the reason why he abandoned ship that sounds exactly like the excuses that lloyd blankfein and jamie dimon gave to congress i tripped and fell into tarp that well the algae would be the one that they always years is the market did it this guy saying he tripped into the lifeboat and sell the way lloyd blankfein and jamie diamond are saying well the market accidentally made me a billionaire i don't know how. it's

good to have you with us here today russia has announced plans to build a manned research colonies on the moon the country's space agency is viewing partnership with nasa and their counterparts in the e.u. it's put men back on the lunar surface permanently all of a explains how scientists hope exploring the moon will help us better understand the nature of life back here on our planet. ross cosmos want to send first off to unmanned probes to the surface of our nearest celeste steele neighbor and take samples bring them back to earth so they can be studied and analyzed with the hope eventually that we can set up a permanent base on the move 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 of course the the gravity of the moon much less than there is an earth would get see the effect that lessened gravity or zero gravity would have on a spacecraft much more than we can ever simulate on earth hopefully lots of very exciting things that we can see coming up in the next few years there say they're hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up a permanent home on the moon what he's put her all over according right there so moon base is still rather a fantasy for now although some people are ready to believe just about anything especially if you throw a long considered threat into the mix artie's or half of us went out of the streets of new york to prove it. 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 has to out. we can talk 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 by me that they agree with the program from the moon oh that wouldn't surprise me at all that people not human there 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 guy of disease you know you find so many interpretations so which one is the difficult and people say i saw it on 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 anyway even if they did put something out there you wouldn't know anyway. we don't know if. yeah but do you think common sense takes over a little bit oh yeah ok we don't know because that's deep space but our moon you'd think we would know. tonight they're going to look up there to see if it goes for

the anything or make it to show a comrade so it seems like some people are listening to what's being said and are thinking for themselves let's just hope think catch the much more subtle inaccuracy as they're bombarded with by the media every day. this is artsy in a country with ever expanding waistlines millions in the us are still going hungry with tons of edible food going to waste each and every day the solution to the country's problem could be sitting on the sidewalk and saudis were important reports 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 good geo and although is a dumpster diver instead of paying for food he wrote midges through garbage bags on the streets of new york city. here's another tooth were tons of edible food is thrown out each night i never found that's not the size of the pizza here this is a raisin 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 you know 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 to 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 getting the show or 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 over consumption directly impacts the hungry and the poor in other countries us taking more than we need and wasting it affects the prices of food if 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 i need to cut my expenses are first thing that goes through so the question is why pay for that which you can get for free.
