you're just joining us it's six thirty here in moscow and parents are out you with a quick recap of your headlines syria's defined president vows to keep out what he calls for in fact terrorists as washington dismisses a military attack other countries are withdrawing from the country over the violence between government forces and opposition fighters that's claimed thousands of lives. was president obama make so move for peaceful foreign policy several war hungry politicians a stick so they're going to calling for military action against iran this says

senator john mccain also fueled the fire by calling for strikes against syria and also an independent group of russian observers cried foul over the presidential election but accepts wudu mid putin while in the majority of the vote from the league of voters also says it won't take its allegations to court. while western intelligence agencies herald the arrests of key web packers as a triumph over cyber crime or had britain's pirate party tells us next why such moves are more designed at clamping down on people's net freedom. joining me is laws leader of the pirate party in the u.k. laws so r.t. now you've been a prominent voice in the protests against actor but why do you oppose it surely

you'll be stopping copyright infringement what 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 soap a bill. cause a huge outcry because this was draconian anti internet legislation when it comes to talking about copyright infringement and intellectual property more broadly one of the things that the entertainment industry would have us believe there is some kind of crime crisis of piracy while there is no crisis the truth of it is that in the united states more music was sold than ever before and last year here in the united kingdom box office receipts hit the billion pound mark for the

first time so there is no crisis and surely something needs to be done here surely . downloading music and videos for 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 that we're seeing that the growth in music sales is being pushed by digital it's being pushed by in fact that there is free and open functioning one ip now what we have to realise is that it's a copyrights a kind of law but it's made. from the tiny difference set of circumstances it's really not that controversial to say she is no longer fit for purpose in the digital age but isn't it the entertainment industry but lobbying for that so surely artists are unhappy that the music's being pirated you can own people. from

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 this is actually trying to create a trick to respond to the new environments so something like streaming services for example now prata the problem is because of copyright terms the the the launch music audience actually controlled basically the entire history record record in popular music with this is in no way healthy it means that it's actually very difficult to set up new innovative services what we're really

concerned about one of the things an actor will do is actually make this more difficult because of the wording is so vague and what it means means that actually it's going to be very hard to do proper due diligence legally setting up a new service it's going to make it very difficult to find the next the next flicker the next facebook these are the kind of things that are that our politicians are constantly praising in terms of of being bringing 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 opportunities. do you not agree that intellectual property only internet need to be regulated and protections like what we're saying in the pirate party. agreements like that i've got it completely the wrong way round at the moment this this rush to

ever more draconian enforcement is actually creating a credible poisonous atmosphere them out what instead what we need to do is that we need an honest open debate to say how 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 actually responsible for drawing up the agreement in place one of the interesting things about this act 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've been at meetings and groups who have been party to meetings. but we can't know where they've argued for or

against or were just there to drink the coffee this is in symptomatic of the entire process because so much has happened behind closed doors he was supposedly involved in the drawing up of act given that a key member state german is now stalling on signing the agreement what does that say about the negotiations i think what's shown and what's constantly coming up is that the comments from governments have been actually where we now have serious misgivings because actually once we're being looking at the details that actually where as concerned as our city. our i think this also think what seems extraordinary that even parliaments. have felt that they've been left out of the loop and this is a serious failing in terms of the democratic debate in fact it 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 think greenland and haven't been party to the negotiations it's simply not credible to have any agreement which is supposedly trained are not to have china 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 or lump it and particularly as it has huge implications for the developing world whose responsibility is it to regulate the internet because that seems to imply that if everyone uses what we've seen is that there is

a narrative at the moment something that president sarkozy's very fond of describing the internet as the wild west was on the site territory that needs to be civil law is what's happening the moment is credit. unpleasant to play it is beginning to rage and also frankly a lot of people are very angry and it feels like the internet is on the sea 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 there from approach it seems to me simply that they were. to download music and films for free now what gives them the right to do that in first but it's a fundamental mistake to think that it's this extraordinary wave of protests right across europe is just about wanting free stuff that is fundamentally

understands the nature of the protests the moment it's not about free stuff it's about free people and free expression that's what's driving people out into the streets because we're constantly told by governments when it suits them how important the internet is it's for its local look how quick western governments of britain's appraise the use of social media in the arab spring but suddenly when it comes to home territory they don't seem to be like a like to be a challenge now what we've always been saying that the pirate party is what it is it's not simply about that it's our culture and this particular arena it's about saying what are the tools that we're giving to god 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 these are simply not the tools that we should be handing to our governments and that is what the anger is of belt that's what britain that's what's bringing people out on the streets and the hundreds of thousands across europe why is eastern europe in particular hotbed for these protests it's been very striking that balance and particularly central and eastern europe 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 your life is to their credit the people people are saying if there is a danger to them if there is a potential to the threat to the ground. to stand up and i think it's very inspiring but also what we've seen is a real change in how politics working in the twenty first century but it's no

longer western europe that necessarily leads all the time 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 have conducted a number of illegal acts. one of one of the things about the movement is incredibly broad. so it takes in political takes and political groups it takes in n.g.o.s i believe and even now here in the united kingdom we're seeing parties even like the united kingdom independence party who you're a skeptic party begin 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 grass for direct action it's what we saw that government start listening to voices on internet freedom and so the real grassroots otherwise simply people will be alienated and that's hugely dangerous. thank you. for sure is that so much do you think. mark when you think you saw the dog this is how some would characterize the current drum people are against iran at the center of this campaign is the image.

wednesday in florida northern irishman remark arroyo will be very much in the headlines after claiming the world n o one rocking last weekend following his win at the honda classic but pressure says the twenty two year old is just part of thinking i feel like i do thrive you know in the spotlight and i like the attention not someone attention seeker i. like. you know you know you're doing something right when you're spotlight and you know i'd love to keep myself here for a while had a tremendous run he's. being extremely consistent and obviously that the when last week was press if i didn't see much of it to be played great and you know i've struggled and that's the way the rankings work you know if you struggle with the game you're going to drop down. the european freestyle and greco-roman wrestling championships are underway in serbia but one

a key member of team russia isn't there a limb pick the winner not let but you're off with more than an eye on this summer's a limpid games us from on cost for every port. i have money left but a year off was virtually unknown before the two thousand and four appen summer games it's a good dagestani just six months to storm to the olympic summits and four years later in beijing he did it again i mean a whole chain or not everyone already treated me more seriously at the beijing olympics so naturally i had to be more inventive i had to use my head and brain to find a way to and with my rivals it's very difficult to beat an opponent who newton like the back of the hand. but zero began his international career in the fifty five killer category when he took the highest honor in athens but he moves up the weight to the sixty killer class where he's thinking climb the next target working flat out to reach the top of the podium in the sixty six k.

class at the london summer games. or i will do my best to win a third an impact medal 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 too . let's barter i love dean is known throughout that you stand as the proud say keeper of his son sporting treasure and clearly his biggest fan almost never missing his son's freighting end of major competitions let alone to turn his themselves in fact let's international glory would probably be impossible without his father who's dedicated his entire life to support his son. of course i want him to improve his achievements lose health is no longer good however any athlete has to make sacrifices like that but 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 motherless sitting out the european championship in belgrade and the preceding high profile you by your region tournaments in siberia coaches internationals. what are still pinning high hopes some this wrestler who's alive because if you gauge and he just won the championship gold rush which was more than i thinking of lear was the best candidate for the sixty six kewl category is the youngest the most promising wrestler because he has to train hard to win several competitions no including the russian championships but he has a good perspective. by the end of spring let's we'll know if he's to get a third shot at the olympic gold but as in most sports this superstore to earn his place on the national team on his own merits. not lead but zero 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 he's not really considered

a better and another piece of the most coveted silverware is probably the next logical step on cost of r.t. russia's republic of dagestan. and finally it appears as if sprinter usain bolt's preparations for this summer's olympic games might not be going totally to plan not suffer he was beaten in a race in jamaica by prince harry the pair were posing for photographers on or about to start their race when the third in line to the british throne destructed the world record holder and then less than trailing in his weight boats with no answer to the prince on the monday really run up the olympics next summer bolt is preparing to defend his one hundred meter two hundred meter on four by one hundred meter relay titles in london. and i want to spend sorry isn't a time not to tell your sport for another. all
