suppose for a week every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of. thanks for being with us and how possibly our army turn around but the quick look at your headlines syria's on their pressure on the president of pounds to fight foreign backed militia and the problem for the u.n. security council is debating a new draft resolution proposed by the u.s. meanwhile arcee travels join ancient city where support for the regime ends on wavering despite the nationwide protests. global powers agree all new talks with iran over its nuclear program after attack brown says inspectors are both coming to

visit its military sites the move comes on made fresh speculation of a preemptive military strike by israel against iran's nuclear facilities. and despite the overwhelming support of the russians by debatable terms upcoming return to the kremlin a waiting on some western politicians the u.k.'s former top diplomat has called him a dictator who stays on a number of. western governments have certainly been taking cyber threats extremely seriously pushing for laws allowing criminal charges for offenders and netting them all over the world but that of the u.k. a pirate party believes are a free web actually helps promote the internet and loving it limiting it is not the solution. joining me is laws leader of the pirate party in the u.k.

laws thanks. now you've been a prominent voice in the protests here against actor but why do you oppose it surely will be stopping copyright infringement to start with the act treaty has become just another lightning rod for people's dissatisfaction and public anger about attempts to crack down on the internet we've seen that recently recently for example in the united states with the so per bill. courson a huge outcry because essentially it was draconian in anti internet legislation when it comes to talking about copyright infringement and intellectual property more broadly one of the things the entertainment industry would have us believe there is some kind of crime crisis of piracy while there is no crisis the truth of that is that in the united states more music was sold ever before last

year here in the united kingdom box office receipts hip the billion pound mark for the first time so there is no crisis and surely something needs to be done here surely. downloading music in the years to free is an infringement royalties go to the artist one of the one of the things that's really interesting is that we're seeing how the free web is in fact pushing growth for artists but we're seeing that the growth in music sells is being pushed by digital it's being pushed by fact that there is free and open functioning one ip now what we have to realise is that it's a copyright is a kind of law it's made for an entirely different set of circumstances it's really not that controversial to see. way she is no longer fit for purpose in the digital

age but isn't it the entertainment industry that's lobbying for that surely artists are on the music's being pirated do you condone people downloading music for free one of the things that's really interesting is that the time industry is very narrow group of lobbyists has made this nice trick of saying that they represent artists really they represent no one else other than their own narrow interests and actually trying to preserve business models that are frankly at the day it's one of the real problems for artists is actually trying to create a trip to respond to the new environments so something like streaming services for example now the problem the problem is because of copyright terms the the the launch music bodies actually control basically the entire history record recorded popular music well this is in no way how thing it means that it's

actually very difficult to set up new enough that if service is what we're really concerned about one of the things an actor would do is actually make this more difficult because of the wording is so very in that it means means that actually it's going to be very hard to do proper diligence legally setting up a new service it's going to make it very difficult to find the next the next flip or the next facebook these are the kind of things that are that our politicians are constantly praising in terms of being brilliant growth and innovation and heaven knows we need that in europe right now but actually this is going to be made more difficult and there are going to be fewer maturity it's far less do you not agree that intellectual property only internet need to be regulated and protection. what we're saying in the pirate party is. agreements like actor have got it completely

the wrong way round at the moment this this rush to ever more draconian enforcement is actually creating incredible poisonous atmosphere and what instead what we need to do is that we need an honest open and they say how should this look like now how do we rebalance the interests of artists consumers and the wider economy we need to be having that debate but also needs to happen in an open honest way the problem is that the lobbyists have been controlling the game and doing things behind closed doors who are actually responsible for drawing up the agreement and first place one of the interesting things about that is that it's actually very hard to see who is responsible for it and that's one of the things that we've been objecting to all along there are lists of people who have been at

meetings and groups who have been party to meetings. but we can't know where they've argued for or against or we're just there to drink the coffee this is in symptomatic of the entire process because so much has been behind closed doors the e.u. is supposedly involved in the drawing up of act to given that he remembers that germany is now stalling on signing the agreement what does that say about the negotiations thing what's shown and what's constantly come up is that the comments from governments have been actually where we now have serious and misgivings because actually once we're being looking at the details but actually where is concerned as our citizens are i think this also to think about seems extraordinary that even parliaments. i must have felt that they've been left out of the loop and

this is a serious failing in terms of the democratic debate is ratified and goes through to countries like china and russia are part of one of the reasons why this treaty is in fact not really worth the paper it's written on it's because russia china india and brazil are not part of the agreement and haven't been party to the negotiations it's simply not credible to have any agreement which is supposedly about trade are not of china or russia in it it's simply no longer acceptable for western governments to negotiate a significant international agreement and just expect the rest of the world to to join in a century like it will nump it and particularly as it has huge implications for the developing world whose responsibility is it to regulate the internet because actors

seem to imply that it's everyone's uses what we've seen is that there is a narrative at the moment something the president sarkozy's very fond of describing the internet as the wild west as mislike this territory that needs to be civil war is what's happening the moment is credibly unpleasant the play is beginning to rage and also frankly a lot of people are very angry and it feels like the internet is under a sea which we've seen all sorts of different types of legislation and treaties like act which essentially have the have the potential to trample people's fundamental rights to expression a lot of our anger from oppression and seems to be thin. they will be in a download music and films for free and what gives them the right to do that in the first place it's a fundamental mistake to say that it's this extraordinary wave of protests right

across europe it's just about wanting free stuff that is the fundamentally this understands the nature of the protests at the moment it's not about free stuff it's about free people and free expression that's what's driving people out onto the streets because we're constantly told by governments when it suits them how important it's the internet it's for local look how quick a western governments of britain's appraise the use of social media in the arab spring but suddenly when it comes to territory they don't seem to be like a light to be challenged now what we've always been saying in the pirate party is that what it is it's not simply about that it's about culture and this particular arena it's about saying what are the tools that we're giving to go our governments

that's what we need to be concerned about we are giving our governments tools to censor the internet it's however good intentions may be from some people they are simply not the tools that we should be handing to our governments and that is what the anger is about that's what britain that's what's bringing people out on the streets in the hundreds of thousands across europe why is eastern europe in particular the hotbed for these protests it's been very striking advance and particularly central eastern europe have been. have been leading the way in europe on the issue of actor and i think it's particularly this is it's the people of central and eastern europe have experienced what it means. your freedom of expression taken from you is to their credit the people most people are saying if there is a danger if there is the potential to be

a threat to land. and i think it's been very inspiring but also seen is a real change in our politics of working in the twenty first century but it's no longer western europe that necessarily leads or looks hard but also eastern europe can show the way that also we can learn and we should be ready to learn do you think the protesters are harming their own cause here by aligning themselves with groups such as anonymous induction a number of illegal hacks. one of the things is about the movement against actor is incredibly broad what. it takes in texan political groups it takes an ngo i believe and even now here in the united kingdom we're seeing parties even like the united kingdom independence party who who are euro skeptic party beginning to speak out against that so there's a wide range of a wide range of people i don't think anyone said there is some kind of formal

alliance when you start to push for draconian legislation people will push back and particularly if it feels that there is no proper democratic outlands then people do will grasp with direct action it's what we saw that government start listening to voices of internet freedom and so the real grassroots otherwise simply people will be alienated and that's hugely dangerous. thank you. culture is that so much given to each musician on the market in the case of the dog this is how some would characterize the current drumbeat for war against iran

out to reach the top of the podium in the sixty six k. class at the london summer games. i'm doing my best i'm going to fit in in big metal in order not to have regrets that i missed my chance of course it's going to be harder this time because i'm older and my health got worse my father also wants me to participate in london so i want to please my parents to not let bother i love dean is known throughout they did stand as the proud sea keeper of his son sporting treasure and clearly his biggest fan almost and they were missing his son's training end of major competitions let alone the tournaments themselves in fact i've let international glory would probably be impossible without his father who's dedicated his entire life to support his son. of course they want him to improve his achievements lose health is no longer good whoever any athlete has to. exactly places like that that he is still very young and russian coaches know that he is

reliable and if you qualify as i'm sure they will not be disappointed despite not let sitting out the european championship in belgrade and the preceding high profile even european tournaments in siberia coaches in the national squad are still pinning high hopes on this wrestler was it because if you gave he just on the championship over russia in may which was more this year i think i'm really opposed the best candidate for the sixty six cuellar category is the youngest and most promising wrestler but he has to train hard as to win several competitions go including the russian championships but here is a good perspective. by the end of spring marvelettes will know if he is to get a third shot at the olympic gold but as in most sports this superstore has to earn his place on the national team on his own merits. not lead but the road has hardly anything else to prove in the world of freestyle wrestling having already won two olympic gold medals but at the age of twenty eight
