that there is a war between two groups on the outside the country and it's the syrian national council pitching itself as the main opposition but it too has failed to unify the many different opposition factions and this lack of unity has hampered the calling coups the direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and in a far cry from previous schools the dialogue qatar and saudi arabia is no tool to the opposition and they've listed cost even more lives to say many least lead to find. rebel groups you have to work with the other side it's working with the other side. of. the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilian. who have this mean square here in town with people who come out and protest every evening the

security forces try to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here that it remains a precarious situation in the moments of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots still says where they've come from all from who i know you can't believe it that a lot of confusion here on the safe even if you're reading in a different direction it's not exactly sure what's going on at all that really not a safe situation to bear right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center is just a day before it's a chip break of the demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer. that only you can get. that everybody and they are you. yeah. i mean why did you sir is keeping

a blog updated at all so you don't call my site where she's posting extensively on the situation in syria that you can find images as well from various parts of the country that have made their way here the latest pictures in fact from well i can tell you now people rallying inside but it's about. down the official placation. talk from the top story. on the. video. my old. friend says feed now in the palm of your what. on r.t.e. dot com. polish protesters refusing to give up the fight over the empty web piracy impact their countries signed up to in the week more demos are planned against actor the multinational deal forged in secrecy that activists say allows firms to

he's work is under threat because of actors obscurity with the international backed worked out in complete secrecy issues with. legally censoring information. it's very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four and nobody's been told anything unlike the week's massive anti active protests in poland friday's showdown had clear political overtones while the majority of the crowd was voicing no to the treaty a large chunk was directing their anger at the government and experts say the scale of public dissent has managed to make more soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern. people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is

supporting something without it was purely political answer to no we don't believe this but this considers the harm governments are pretty steadily. scenes of their point of view are already tactic and the end may not ratify act and they will have a second fault so after a week of ignorance i think suddenly they realize that the protests are much deeper much broader and. to become law in poland actor needs the approval of both the polish and european parliament nobody knows for sure how long this might take but protesters say they will continue piling the pressure on the authorities to stop this happening and i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. to. do this going to think i think there will be a lot more they last for at least two weeks i think because. i think how long it will take to actually. prime minister to have been adamant war so would not give in

to and blackmail in the streets with what was initially acquired social protest has become politically broader with every rally ask elating in both the numbers present and the level of aggression. reporting from warsaw poland. european liberty campaign to dominate could be have skipped believes the polish government should have listened to the public because the web's real stakeholders. the way it did. it my brian nagel baby should be done an entire year. without really touching the goodbye later in the internet and those internet providers those companies which are taking advantage of. the internet increasingly should be aware when the.

people are feeling that they were keep it by the government and that something is wrong and that there were no concentration then there was no particularly good the day before where. were the signature of the document there were maybe happens in every. man who would be internet and every time people have the impression that the government is taking that without the basin without. their now and internet use their ok we're in a kind of related story twitter isn't a flap over a censorship scandal of its own right now it's after the microblogging firm said it can now remove tweets country by country if they float local laws good idea or not show you've got some views about this well needless to say many users are furious at the potential free speech purge reaction now than from our own swore under a second director of the progress dot org organization campaigning against the

internet censorship i guess you've heard it before r.t. very pleased to see you again you know i've got that very. press release that was issued on friday the twenty eighth of january two thousand and eleven to see a year ago twitter twitter's own blog wrote the tweets must flow to defend freedom of expression is putting the pressure on forcing this change do you think just twelve months on. well i think it's a result of twitter's international expansion you know twitter is a fast growing company and like most fast growing companies they want to do business in different countries around the world and while they're in the u.s. you know they obey u.s. laws but now that they're moving into the united kingdom and into japan and into other countries soon i'm sure they have to obey a whole patchwork of laws in all these different countries all right but what's the point if the abuses can't properly take property say anything they want to say kind of undermines it doesn't it. you know it's certainly frustrating i mean the important thing to understand about twitter is policy though is that it's reactive

they get it in response to government order or court order and what's nice about twitter is because it's a real time service the government is going to be slower than twitter almost always you know by the time you get a court order asking someone to take down a tweet and by the time twitter reviews it and it goes through all the policies is will probably be passed and everyone on twitter will have read it already it'll have been retreated hundreds of times you know it's going to say i guess there is a chance in this country specific censorship actually could backfire against governments because those messages you saying this surely going to get big and published in the elsewhere there's nothing like banning something to make it more popular isn't the end of the day yeah twitter has been especially admirable in how they deal with this in that they are particularly highlighting tweets that have been censored by the government so there's now none of this disguise that goes on with some of the other major companies where things just suddenly disappear and you don't know why twitter has said that make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be a huge step in pressuring both people to share the stuff that was censored but also pressure on governments to change their policies just

a kind of thought you'd be jumping up and down the more about this than you are i mean after the anger over the american web piracy bills which have been covered extensively. shelled we could do a go through of public anger in those websites he went to go on strike do you think the massive to take he wanted to see will be able to force a change of mind about this do you think we want to change your mind that you don't seem too upset by it you know i mean this certainly terrible timing for him and people are you know angry and they're angry about censorship but we need to make sure the focus is on the real problem you know getting twitter to change their policy isn't going to help because the same policy is going to be in place like google and facebook and all these other companies were much less vocal about it what twitter is done is they've highlighted it and they've brought in the public debate but we need to redirect that energy against the countries that have laws censoring stuff the fact is even if we've got twitter to move out of these countries google and facebook are not going to what we need to do is change the laws so that eh. everything on the internet can be transparent but the bigger the more general picture of big firms web giants governments will tightening control

any way they can over the web it seems these days where do you think this is all heading you know having a web access police store do you think free speech will find a way in the end where do you think it's going to go. i mean i think ultimately free speech is going to win we've seen you know like you've talked about just now this incredible uprising all around the world against censorship in various forms whether it was soap in the us or act in europe and i think it's just going to build people realize they have this power now they can win changes not just from companies but from governments and the more people realize that the more people are going to get involved and participate and the more that happens the harder times everyone's going to come since certain people appreciate your thoughts thanks available program marriage short from demand progress dot org joining us there from boston u.s.a. . is that. this is r t international just ahead how even the wind chills don't stop global warming getting people hot under the collar. they don't care about the planet until until it affects them personally and financially that's the world we live in the resident asked people in new york what they would sacrifice to save the

planet got some interesting answers coming up but there we skedaddled off the salt chief skiis they're putting the slopes through their paces for the first time before they welcome those glorious winter olympics in two years' time. the ratings firms keep reading the blows of the beleaguered eurozone now fitch has downgraded five countries in the last twenty four hours they include spain and italy which are of course the big worries because of this size if they fail e.u. leaders and key for nancy is a struggling to try to find a remedy to the debt crisis at the new world economic forum for where loyalists to reports. we've seen leaders not only from the euro zone but from other countries financial and political leaders also continuing to fight and to argue over the proper solutions for the eurozone crisis and at the center of it is a lot of people pushing for a larger bailout fund for a for a secure fire wall the irony is that as they're talking about this we hear that

germany wants greece to hand over control of its fiscal budget as a condition for the next bailout package the further irony is that we've seen capitalism really be one of the topics one of the issues here at this davos questioning of capitalism in its current form is still serving the global and these western nations and i just heard david cameron in his remarks at davos asked about this and he said you know despite the problems i still believe that the capitalism in its current form and western democracies is the best first serving freedom and democracy at the same time that we see not only technocrats managing it to push through very difficult budgetary reforms in italy in greece these are people that were not democratically elected now to go a step further we have germany wanting greece to hand over control over its budget

entirely this sovereignty over its fiscal matters at the same time that the backdrop where we're hearing that this is the best situation for democracy as opposed to the chief economic correspondent for the british newspaper the had to believe greece has already come to the fold but in reality. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that it's not just the indebtedness of some countries but also the euro zero the common currency is a single currency for an area where some countries need a devaluation i don't know whether technically greece is going to be in default or not but if your read the thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be four to seven forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky that it any rational say it's the is the country

defaulting on its debts and whether technically that it is or whether it takes seems to me to be not that relevant because once you've dealt with greece ok you try and have to put a fireball behind that but people may say look if i'm not going to get my money back on greece why should i learn to portugal why should i lend to spain why should i lend to italy. from the u.k.'s independent newspaper spring to be a bit earlier on just about a two in about two hours from now the kaiser report taking a swipe at the politicians and bankers who are doing enough to reassure the markets and the people who recovery is just around the corner. the governor of the bank of england urged against despair because all crises coming to an end eventually he says he looks pretty miserable doesn't think he should talk like usually very telling people don't despair you don't look like you're about to top yourself you try and have a smile and butter like clown nose on really like a burner he's usually got the clown those are always delivering that economic

a month ago so much snow we wanted to write so badly and know we had this chance. super this is also cool to a brand new resort just off the black sea coast but the numbers just plan to attract ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers of tracks that will be able to compete with many european resorts means six to ten thousand tourists will be able to stay here to show your work and seasonal warm weather left a few foreign destinations a little high and dry but at their own staff here it was i who got to became snowed under with work as skiers sort of new resorts just a little while and you. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning yes that's true. but there are also photos biggest test is yet to come in february and march just about two thousand and fourteen winter olympics it will mean two or just will be strictly our best but for

behavior like they are walking to any destination that's under two miles instead of driving like what i'm doing today is that yes yeah yeah i absolutely absolutely. look good what about showering for under a minute. i'm always. pretty much broke so. they've got the current opposed to lose the clock on the market. do you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though they are proud to call it selfish you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally unfortunately that's the world we live in whether or not you're willing to change your energy consumption habits now the bottom line is you might just have to in the future if global warming continues to progress. twenty four hours when it's past my moscow time around the world in brief the
