killed artie's i've a bet it has the latest on this. syrian observatory of human rights it's one of the most widely quoted sources of syrian casualty figures but it's not always telling the truth and ownership at the syrian observatory for human rights is left several media outlets quoting false information as to rivals fight for the same name the original group was hijacked by opposition activists who are posting military deaths alongside civilian ones both sites claim they're the official observatory this is the original site in arabic with an english version on facebook and this is the fake site launched in the center and mostly in english several foreign news outlets have assume they are one and the same thing quoting the fake sites casualty figures the consequence of a very different perspective of the crisis the original sites latest figures showed just over five thousand one hundred civilian deaths against almost two thousand

military casualties the rival site claims well over six and a half thousand civilians have been killed and barely six hundred troops a difference many claim suggests this is a lot more than just a numbers game i don't think even the people using these figures are have any objectivity really they have an agenda a clear agenda is the just the fire by any means possible that assad regime is a brutal massacring regime and it needs to fall a soon as possible and we can see the united nations security council when that human rights strategy for regime change doesn't work how annoyed western governments are how got syrian observatory original observatory strictly opposes military intervention the man who hijacked it's name disagrees. used to translate at the real observatory he was fired after falsely claiming to be an official spokesman and using a live interview to call for a no fly zone since the. he's launched

a smear campaign against the original group claiming they're the impostors as are we and these figures have been quoted by the b.b.c. c.n.n. and a.b.c. australia the other groups say they tried to pass some political views censored by calling for no fly zone for international intervention and we made the clear a sit on their victory for human rights. original organization is that we are i guess an intervention we are against the no fly zone all we need is to stop the bloodshed in that is going on in syria as always and is group refused to speak on camera stating i cannot waste my time talking about this is the moment whilst people are dying in homs they're my priority right now he did refer us to another opposition group based in london and they too refused to comment on the ownership of the observatory but they did confirm that reporting military deaths was not in their interest it's not our position to report the casualties of.

government troops the b.b.c. and the guardian had to withdraw material after falsely quoting as always the human rights observatory the un stopped counting the death toll claiming it's too difficult to keep track of but its human rights chief also said five thousand civilian deaths should be enough to provoke international action the real observatory still documents the deaths civilian or otherwise but it may be too late for the numbers to matter either bennett's party london. and the us based professor. believes outside forces are fueling the fire of quantity in syria by waging an information war. media as. it is. that is killing innocent civilians and then there is a commission or fact finders found by the arab league who.

said that this is in fact facing. off but you come on we. public and private property killing civilians and the military and security forces and any government in the world has to put down any kind of arms that is a system restore law and order it seems that the outside forces or some outside force has some words the worst. thing. not helping at all. and the moscow is condemning all sides of the syrian conflict for instigating violence while saying president assad is ready for talks with the opposition and a political analyst. believes russia's approach will actually help to solve the crisis by leaving the rebels in syria no choice but to negotiate after so many months of military operations by the rebels in syria at this pretty clear that what

we are dealing with here is definitely not a peaceful protest but an armed rebellion supported from abroad the veto helping peace more than anything because at the styling the forum by the opposition that cannot count on the foreign intervention as happened in libya and they lock the top of the regime and therefore and fuck the butyl is creating better conditions for the opposition to come to the negotiating table and in that sense the vehicle is fostering peace. you with your company today and just coming your way a bit later in the program the legal advice for the caffeine craving for workaholic america opens the market to new energy fixes but there is a hidden danger. to stick around for the latest edition of.

the team has been to the bar of screen. where the country's middle starts its way across the ocean. now our team goes to the area. good looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. the four by fours are made and can be tested to the limit. welcome to the. close up. it's only ten minutes past the hour here in moscow as the u.s. and its allies piled sanctions on iran over its nuclear program and the country's president is set to face pressure on the home front as well iranian lawmakers have summoned. to parliament for the first time since the islamic revolution of nine hundred seventy nine he will answer questions on his management of government and

economic policy this comes amid the latest oil between iran and the west the european union is preparing to stop importing iranian fuel from july you can see most account for around twenty percent of iran's oil output the islamic state warns that europe is shooting itself in the foot by cutting off trade and that view is shared by the spanish ambassador to tehran based journalist. says the e.u. embargo was actually masterminded in washington and serves u.s. interests. what we're seeing here is not at the station that comes actually from european countries to spain never wanted. to. proved to be put in place this is something that comes externally from the united states pressure on the european union the european union actually had a very good relationship in terms of the economy and trade with iran it was retrieved in the last twenty years the connections that have been lost after the iranian revolution and the situation was improving until we came to this new

tension and he's not just to spain and italy also greece imports lots of oil from iran it could be hard hit in a way that would bring them bankrupt in the coming future that would be a complete disaster for the european union and for the euro and that can happen because of these of these political move it has now become an economic issue and can have even more. destructive effects if the iranians decide to say cut of the strait of hormuz or even if they now decide to beat europe to it by. by by cutting off their oil now because we need this time to find alternative supplies if they cut the supply now we want to be able to find them there will be a huge recession in europe. you're watching r t a u.s. drone attack in pakistan has reportedly killed al qaeda is pakistani leader died it months or along with three other suspected militants the latest attack comes after

a report by london's bureau of investigative journalism which uncovered dozens of deadly drone strikes carried out by the u.s. and pakistan president barack obama has claimed the attacks only target terrorists but the findings suggest scores of civilians and the rescuers trying to help them of also being killed it's also reported a funeral possessions of taliban members were killed in strikes those of also being targets coming up next hour pakistan's foreign minister tells r t that u.s. drone strikes are actually damaging to the war on terror here's a preview. the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid this region rather than follow sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid this region in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and had

north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one straight leads to getting you target number one or target number three to be you're creating five more targets with ten more targets in the militancy that is in the in the for doing that it gets to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks. and without special artie interviews next hour here for now britain could soon be turning to chemical weapons to and force the law this according to the national academy of sciences if made legal police could use substances currently banned for military use while burke field from the education activist network says the u.k. shouldn't be using the same type of gas that was internationally criticized when

used by greek police last year. the income past. nerve gas as it is as it is called has been used against protesters in the june general strike in greece and amnesty international condemned the use of tear gas in normal language it's called choking gas and has said that the greek government has waged a chemical warfare upon its very own citizens now you can actually die from the from the gases be being used against protesters against larger crowds and what we have seen is that the police time and time again has lost control of the streets and thus it doesn't come as a surprise in the context of global revolutions and revolt that now the u.k. is starting to use the same measures as countries as mubarak has done in egypt or even the greek government has done to its very own citizens over the general strike so it wouldn't surprise me if these chemicals are being used on british streets

that similar a cure and so is what happened but we need to say is that the police have overextended the use of force on previous demonstrations so far they have curtailed the right to protest by threatening students to use rubber bullets and water cannons and the latest announcement actually makes very clear the intentions of the police to further curtail our right to protest. let's get to the outer world of but here some other international news for you will start with greece the crucial between the greek prime minister and debt inspectors on averting the country's bankruptcy has ended with no result. failed to secure the support of his coalition for a raft of new austerity measures they reportedly could not agree on cuts in pensions eurozone finance ministers are to discuss the bail out on thursday and greek political leaders were expected to agree a deal prior to that meeting. the criminal court of the multi-verse has issued an arrest warrant for ousted president mohamed nasheed and his former defense minister

a passion pushing people to devour caffeine in potentially dangerous amounts as artie's portnoy reports the country continues to build its craving. in the city that never sleeps our perpetual craving for energy never eases i nearly every manhattan street you'll find two things a coffee shop and customers cupping their fix a liquefied legal stimulant that most can't envision quitting i feel lightheaded and i get ahead of it again. so i just have to are both of the three of yes actually yes i don't know if i could give. it five or six cups a day but i'm not good to much of anything. is going to drink three cups that definitely. americans consume four hundred million cups of coffee per day making the us believe in consumer of coffee in the world according to medical

experts daily intake of caffeine should stay below three hundred milligrams or fifteen ounces of coffee one large cup of starbucks contains more caffeine than the daily maximum recommendation however in recent years the country's addiction to caffeine has grown both in portion size and means of consumption consumers no longer have to down twenty ounces of starbucks or sixty four ounces of soda to get an energy high. unconventional products such as five hour energy drinks and stimulant least gum have made caffeine america's most marketable legal drug because of the work imperative in america who are working really long hours people are chronically sleep deprived also so they're reaching for stimulants to get amid ongoing economic instability u.s. energy drink sales increased more than thirty percent between two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven. the newest stimulant hitting the market is a slim
