new zealand and others is the reason why thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland and the reason why most of the governmental websites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web and to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of libyan and posen in central poland we are expecting more protests tomorrow on friday in more so the problem about this document is that it was worked out in complete secrecy bypassing all governments and the general public had no access to it so that's why the regular users are afraid that this document would be used against them i'll just give you

a simple example for instance you create a website and you put links to your favorite movies on this website and big corporations can in fact start a criminal case against you saying that you violate the agreement so nobody knows to what extent corporations can go in using this document in fact misusing this document as the protesters fear in poland and everywhere they protest against it certainly has some resemblance to the american soap bill which is also being discussed in the united states but the difference is that the sopa bill is a more american local thing the act is definitely international and it will concern all countries which sign it in we are certainly in possibly for more protests across the european continent. correspondent who just heard the recent push by the governments to impose regulation of the internet it's been met with still criticism if you say they don't mind regulation is the problem really lies with outdated

copyright legislation. which we're advocating. a modern view on copyright and other into the corporate assistance i mean it's obvious for every one hundred dollars for it to look for property systems does not work in the digital age it's obviously the people that you turn it users feeling that this piece of legislation is really outdated and doesn't cover of the needs and we need a new kind of law that problem we've talked duckies that the act that we basically are through free is the system as it is now and to make unable to change in the future and we need to check we don't need to change to make the system or precede move restrictions less democratic control we need a system which is flexible and which are dumpster to innovate innovative for our economy and we are really afraid that this system will not come. around the

threatening to switch off its all supplies to europe before the even bugger comes into force in july parliament will discuss next week whether to make the move the e.u. decided to stop buying a rain all in a bid to force to ran back into talks over its nuclear program sharon shelf a from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran explain what message that move sends to europe. the grace period that the i had envisioned for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hand and the other issue is that it shows the complex of the ring in domestic politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty of the wrong there chose that disconnect between. his harlem and his people because this is a model is not something which is going to be to the benefit of the people and

there's also this kind of between the european governments and their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about at the at the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar which is a very good thing in the lot longer and off course they raid in middle class the small businesses who actually do business with the pin businesses that are going to suffer but that is iran claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independents who are iraq as a whole as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign businesses. who weighed just a few minutes or so versus the crisis. longball political and economic leaders meet here at the world economic forum to tackle the euro zone crisis and also the arabs brain meanwhile those who protested activists that want their voices

heard from a locked out. syrian troops have stormed a heavily populated damascus suburb where government forces pulled out earlier this week after clashes with opposition fighters the u.n. security council could vote in the next few days on a resolution aimed at stemming the escalating conflict the draft calls on the syrian regime to comply with an arab league proposal for president assad to leave and pave the way for unity government russia has made it clear it will veto any u.n. resolution the allows for an intervention of sanctions in syria it's so crucial want to trade mission is resume for the first time in a week because of the violence and start of the setback and saw six gulf countries pull out of call on the u.n. to act to syria for. saying they get by and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport their mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis it's never going to be easy so you won't want to stay

i don't want to force right from the word go the missions prove problematic the opposition accused the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and there were logistical complaints to the observers seem to liquid on the ground and there were concerns that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president says see. to a deputy and form a unity government what's interesting that these countries is very interested in democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something pani will talk about. or will have

a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi parties are but what about to do about the west's come up talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it is damascus is rejection was a surprise they sides of the conflict of shame equal willingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the right to damascus yes you know the remind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a creature of a bid to the country's crisis is seen as clinching show the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish he's got enough evidence concrete everything about human rights abuses on the part of the are so very easy to then take to the u.n. and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china feel compelled to

work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground and they did. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the earlier proposal being floated to increase the numbers observers on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving one but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's. waving goodbye that gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in front of the arab league i think. it's diplomacy will give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people

not in the hands not our bleakness good concept so a national dialogue through these reforms spike to mask the mission to be extended for another month and the observers officially saying that they can continue with the task behind the scenes and the sentiment is much less optimistic. it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreement on what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very surface r.t. damascus syria. one post has been killed in a school in russia's volatile north caucuses earlier tonight security services say there were no children the school at the time of the incident you talk is have now fled the sea caucasus correspondent in a coach never brings us up to date. one man was killed during the school siege of the republic of good buddies in the balcony in russia's north caucasus and this man

is reported to be a serviceman aged twenty seven at first also there were reports that there were up to you a seven people taking hostage that leader this information was denied and we know so far that this three armed man stormed the building of the school and at that time several people were playing volleyball in the sport hall and also at that same moment there were no children in the building but the police blocked the whole neighborhood and the search operation continues the capital of focus but you know about cairo republican was a witness to a number of violent accidents in the past couple of months and two just recently in november last year seven militants were killed during an anti terror operation also . were. locals managed to prove beyond a major terror attack over the city when they found a hidden bomb at the same time in the same month were several militants were also

killed in another anti terror operation and there were reports of that of they were planning a major attack up over the inter ministry off the region so yes indeed this is a region of the you know both kyra and republican russia's north caucasus remains a very volatile filed. more coverage of events in syria as well don't forget available on law and order to go call along with plenty of other stories syria one of the most well is that when you told you about social profiling as the f.b.i. plans to use information from social networks to prevent or of course the message to global threats critics say the move could in danger free speech spread as well from gun sing their way to glory russia through scream ballet troupe when the claim in britain secure a prestigious critics award. for more check out our arts and culture section of our home. it's the second day of business in davos as the world's financial

decision makers and top brass politicians make new plans to keep the global crisis of play while making some profit along the way also on the table at the world economic forum in switzerland fallout from the arab uprisings and finding ways to breathe new life back into the struggling euro zone loyalist is in davos for us. today we heard from david cameron u.k. prime minister who had a apply different message than what we heard from angela merkel yesterday when she opened up davos so david cameron came out and said that number of things that he believes the euro zone needs he said they need a quick speedy resolution degrees of debt issuance is and fiscal transfers and order to deal with imbalances so sounds to me like he's calling for some kind of euro bond said that there needs to be a firewall big enough and said you know really right now the euro zone has none of these things now this is in contrast to angela merkel yesterday who said we're not going to pledge more bailout money even though maybe the investment community wants it we're promising news that we believe this fiscal integration will solve the

problem along with structural reforms geared towards things like creating jobs so different message from u.k. prime minister today but a couple things i thought were really interesting so he was asked about what all this means for the future of free market capitalism which is a debate going on here at davos and the emergence and rise of state capitalism and david cameron continue to tout free market capitalism and the european model as the best for freedom and democracy but one thing that came to mind is what we've seen with the technocrats installed that are now running the governments of italy and greece and pushing through these reforms that were very much dictated or influenced by germany and what germany wanted today we see the focus shift to the arab spring which obviously is a political geopolitical issue but was very much has economic ramifications as we see reports that davos investors are questioning what is the prospect of the change in the arab spring nations and what the prospects for investment are we've seen economic impacts of the geopolitical changes we've seen yields in egypt for example

surged bahrain cost be very high there so i think people are looking for answers to that and we have a number of events today that are geared towards discussing that very issue with some prominent leaders from tunisia and egypt here at the forum this year we've seen the occupy movement gather such steam and. and really of course they would be expected to be at davos at the world economic forum the irony is that as i was reading one analysis they were saying it sounds a little like klaus schwab the founder of the world economic forum is channeling occupy and his rhetoric about the problems of capitalism the irony of course is the occupy protesters and activists are part of the conversation here at the forum focusing on developments in libya now international medical aid group doctors without borders is wrapping up its mission in the libyan city of misrata claiming continued torture in the country's detention centers the groups there working in the city since august twentieth eleven they say they've treated a total of under and fifteen detainees suffering from torture related wounds the

organization says it's reported all the cases to the russian authorities that nothing has changed since january they claim several patients who've returned to the interrogation centers have been told is again spoke to political analyst unglazed glazebrook who says the m.t.c. alice western supporters are aware of the torture but they've got little desire to stop it. it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion on eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death by the rebels and this really set the tone and this kind of behavior by the rebels now the so-called government has continued ever since and the n.p.c. expressed support for this time of. giving out mixed messages when the town after a while ago was ethnically cleansed of all ten thousand of his white residents last year then president of the n.p.c. mahmoud jibril he actually said. what how he was questioned about it and he said well what happens the future of to work is the business of the people of misrata no

one else's business that was given the green light for the torture and execution that we're seeing now this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule is the oldest trick in the book what do they do first of all they destroyed completely the existing state state operators who. then now this is the interesting are they. from the electoral process the biggest most popular and most organized political group in the country just recently the m.t.c. announced no doubt the prompting of his western paymasters that a new electoral roll law would be. the loyalists so-called would be barred from taking part in in the elections so this is a clear recipe for civil war. more international news in brief now syrian troops have stormed the heavily populated damascus suburb where government forces pulled out earlier this week after clashes with opposition fighters here in security council could vote now in the next few days on

a resolution aimed at trying to stem the country's escalating conflict in syria itself the arab league's crucial monitoring mission has resumed for the first time in a week or so after the setback which saw six gulf countries pull out and call on the u.n. to act. in baghdad ten members of a single family have been killed as they slept after the house was blown up by insurgents two police officers their wives and six children died after explosives were planted around three people also died but a motorcycle bomb exploded in the northern city of cook the latest in a string of attacks since the u.s. military withdrawal in december. they tend to mutiny and puppet new guinea is being put a group of around twenty soldiers put the defense chief under house arrest and demanded that the former prime minister be reinstated after he was displaced while abroad for medical treatment the man who replaced him said the crisis is making the country a joke amongst the international community it's the latest development in a power struggle between the two both claimed to be the country's rightful leader.

next r.t. talks to a british author and middle east expert who explains what he believes was the arab spring turning point and who he thinks is still stoking the unrest. i'm talking to john bradley who's a foreign correspondent who's dedicated his life to writing about the middle east to publications all round the world in the wake of the arab spring he says fall

from the democratic pluralism that the west would take over was in fact washing into the power vacuum is. john albright thanks very much for talking to us today now we'll start with the situation in iran because it's very much in the news at the moment the e.u. has banned all new oil contracts with the country and it plans to extend sanctions on the iranian central bank how much do you think that's going to cost iran the e.u. the global economy in general it's certainly going to cost to run we've seen today the rear of the local currency. against the u.s. dollar in history and the fact is that iran explore a sizable amount of its oil to the you with american sanctions unilateral sanctions are already in place against iran it's going to hurt but what we're seeing essentially is the first phase of economic warfare against iran the hawks in washington there are allies in saudi arabia and israel are absolutely determined to

bring iran to its knees and it seems like it's now or never and they're going for broke you are very worried about ethnic divisions all through the middle east have come to the fore in both iran and also in syria. in the is a mistake in control of most of the middle east. what do you think the outcome could be if you look back at the arab spring the turning point came in late february when saudi arabia was given the go ahead by washington. and what happened then is related very much to everything that's happening now because it's the only country that is a majority ruled by a sunny minority and iran has the story claims to the island and the u.s. navy's fifth fleet is based crucial to containing iran and so essentially what we've seen is a sunny divide reemerge in the middle east with washington clearly backing sonny powerhouse saudi arabia close american ally and saudi arabia in turn along has

taken control of the revolutions out swearin so for example it's funding and into the main islamist party in tunisia the muslim brotherhood and more extremist groups in egypt and of course in syria the main opposition is made dominated by the muslim brotherhood and the so-called free syrian army is dominated by not only radical jihadi is from within syria but also jihadi is from throughout the region where we're told constantly that there's no real threat because these are moderate islamist parties but of course the definition of moderate makes absolutely no sense you say that that is that it is the miscreants who have stepped into the breach in many of these countries are you saying these weren't genuine people's uprisings at the time. the idea. behind it is that they hijacked the revolutions and precisely because they were in fact islamists inspired the beginning in tunisia

could never have been because it's rather in prison already and the muslim brotherhood in egypt openly came out against the revolution initially the problem is that the motivation for these revolutions was economic internees here for example it started in the deep south. the impoverished neglected deep south in syria it started in a city near jordan which hadn't been experiencing a drought for three years i mean egypt an extensive opinion poll carried out even among those who went to her here just after mubarak fell showed only nineteen percent of the free and fair elections and free expression and so on of the top of their gender their main priority sixty five percent was the economy now the people who provoked these revolutions foolishly declared their revolutions leaderless and they didn't have an agenda anyone who knows anything about revolutionary uprisings in the past knows that what happens in the post-revolutionary chaos is that the

groups that are most disciplined. and most ruthless politically then fill the vacuum and so when you couple that with the fact that they're then with the funding that we've been talking about from saudi arabia qatar able to manipulate the electoral process. they were perfectly poised to to step into the into the cap and fill the vacuum and that's what they've done is what we're seeing in syria basically and islamic revolution absolutely if we've been hearing constant greatly exaggerated predictions of the syrian regime's t. minus for eleven months now if a popular revolution was going to happen it would have happened already the fact is though they may have no great love for the cucumber face president. the. general feeling of better the devil we know and you talk about the arab league do you think that the mission in syria has essentially played into the hands of days

to exacting pressure on the syrian also receive it is it the stepping its mok when it makes demands while the needy ating the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street and everyone knows that it's the top of the g.c.c. . same is not to create momentum that the arab league itself can then implement all the recounting and has imposed sanctions and suspended syria and could possibly impose a no fly zone what they are going to do is what they did with libya before. the fall the u.n. resolution on libya the arab league coming and conveniently almost all of those who voted were from the gulf cooperation council in support of the no fly zone in libya what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is get enough evidence concrete evidence about human rights abuses on the part of the assad regime to then take that to the u.n. and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china will feel compelled

to what but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know that the monitors seem to know more about what's going on the ground than they did at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one john albright thank you very much thank you. wealthy british style sun it's time to. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy which might stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines
