8:00 am
how successful the mission has been to place it will actually follow the i think this is final day here in the country now there are questions raised as to the trial actually and the credibility of the mission certainly seeing the way that they operated they couldn't a question really just independently they were able to operate in the country on the other side of the falls. didn't really seem to be taking aim. at everything. in another question that's raised about its mission is whether these monitors were there what is going to be interesting moving forward is whether or not this mission is now extended because they can ferry divisive the response to the people the hospital though some people think this really is essential to this mission continues and in fact it's possible that i was speaking to one of the
8:01 am
former advisor to the government the previous government here in syria we can listen to his opinion on the situation. the situation. taking place no we are 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 it's working with the other side. that's certainly seen an escalation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest has it become increasingly divided 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 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.
8:02 am
you can see. twenty four. this is. the u.s. congress.
8:03 am
and some of the largest. industry websites. protest supporters. helped to protect copyright. 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 even the stop online piracy you know the bills didn't go directly after the owners of the site they kind of went around everything around it so it was going to be censored domain names or they were going to be listed from search engines on the orders of the government or corporations were going to be allowed. cutoff payment
8:04 am
processor can advertise it from these sites just basically on an allegation and unopposed 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 blocks inside voluntarily just on the unofficial orders to corporations so 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 something everybody agrees with but the way they want about it was just completely. expansive and quite frankly ridiculous. well u.k. authorities are also being accused of trying to curb the freedom of speech but this time over the waves britain has revoked the license of press t.v. that's iran's english language news channel saying that its editorial policies are controlled by terror on the media regulator also cited licensing violations the press t.v. insists the ban is politically motivated and calls it
8:05 am
a clear act of censorship. and the media analyst believes it's the way the station covered certain events that let it to be taken off. 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
8:06 am
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. without see life from moscow it's good company today and still ahead for you this hour billions worth of products going to waste in the united states. is the. spoiled rich kid is worth a look at how our love for food is resulting in tons of items being thrown away in a country where millions struggle just to get by on food stamps. and it's naming the elements in the next winter olympics host city we meet the people on the daily patrol. under ensure safety for skiers. and the austerity is intensifying in europe with the latest round of rest this time taking place in romania thousands are demanding the resignation of the government
8:07 am
and the president in the worst protests seen in the country for years romanians have been suffering under a harsh austerity measures imposed in order to secure a cash injection from international creditors. reports. things turn nasty in the streets as book or arrest. protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn file. fighting as spray can 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 started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to try and push east and cease into the police line now. this is
8:08 am
a voluntary one hope that they could avoid today but the same that it has broken out after all has a fence being thrown. at. you earlier in the day sounds set forward into the remaining capital to demand the resignation of president try and assess for the opposition politicians address the crowd it will have been just come from all over the country means that this right has begun and it must not stop until we reach what we want but we need. not going to people who are upset because they've lost their job service because their pension was cut and others because they think humiliated every day there's one thing that unites is all that we all want to say excuse and leave. but later on the mood became more militant. all the factions older posts old school
8:09 am
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 start to see oh it's third my gay people for a person can actually go to italy or spain or germany to start to steal what fork let me warn you john but we can see some if you look over the. but it being. 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. as the crowd was broken up it revealed the effect. on the struggle of the. day and night protesters have been demanding big political change. this is anything to go by the router is long and hard for. and founder of
8:10 am
credit write downs believes the problems outside the single currency area in europe stem from attempts just to apply eurozone role. so you have the eurozone and then you have the wider it's not just about the eurozone in terms of debt they're imbalances. and i think that it's important that the euro area. that people outside the euro area stick to the same rules within the euro area just from a cosmetic perspective so the germans don't want to have different expectations of what happens in romania and hungary than they have. in the euro area and so that's really the same tactics to be applied in terms of austerity budget cuts etc. as a result there is lots of unemployment and the riots. and just
8:11 am
a little bit later today here on our next kaiser and stacy hubbard compare the economic crisis to the recent costa concordia cruise a disaster focusing on captains abandoning financial ships who program now coming your way in just about fifteen minutes time. so this captain schettino he's brought to shore he's now everybody knows he's abandoned ship his excuse kosta can cordie a 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 is is the market did it this guy saying it tripped into the lifeboat and so all the way lloyd blankfein and jamie diamond are saying well the market accidentally made me a billionaire i don't know if that up or. i
8:12 am
do stay with us for the kaiser report coming your way in a few minutes from now though russia has announced plans to build manned research colonies on the moon the country's space agency is a viewing possible partnerships with nasa and their counterparts in the e u that's put men back on the surface of the moon permanently peter all of a explains how scientists hope that exploring the moon will help us better understand the nature of life back 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
8:13 am
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 on earth we would get see the effects less and gravity or zero gravity would have on a spacecraft much more than we could 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. is pretty relevant right there well for now moon bases are a bit of a fantasy although some people are ready to believe just about anything especially if you throw a long considered threat into the mix artie's lower half and it goes out of the streets of new york to test this hypothesis. in the case of iran's nuclear capabilities people are quick to make judgments based
8:14 am
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. 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. 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 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
8:15 am
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 right one this difficult yet people say i cite an 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 it's pretty pretty bad to be honest you never going to know anyway even if they did personally up there you wouldn't know anyway so. we don't know if. yeah but do you think common sense takes over a little bit oh ok we don't know. but our moon think we would know.
8:16 am
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. just turning twenty minutes past the hour here and. in a country with an ever expanding waistline millions in the us are still going hungry with tons of edible food going to waste each day a solution to the country's problem could be sitting on the sidewalk. 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
8:17 am
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 rode through garbage bags on the streets of new york city here's another truth were tons of edible food is thrown out the each night i'm never found that's not a slice 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 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
8:18 am
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 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 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
8:19 am
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 a ripple effects around the world it is a global market now and our overconsumption directly impacts the hungry and the poor in other countries 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 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 because my expenses are first thing that goes food so the question is. why pay for that which you can get for free.
8:20 am
waste it can also be put to good use so if. you had a website you can make a russian artist. scrap. the pieces. also. at the side of the. nuclear disaster. tourists find out how much a trip to the exclusion zone could cost you. much much more to. discover it. communicate with you want to. test yourself and become free.
