and. the syrian government says yes to call vietnam's a peace plan for a negotiated end to the bloody conflict as quarrelling opposition leaders seek a unified front against the assad regime. guarantees or an arms race a clear choice is delivered to me could be different to washington over its missile defense system in europe that's as the russian president summed up the results of the nuclear summit in seoul. and it's not the summits agenda which grabbed the media's attention but a conversation between obama and new video which wasn't supposed to go public.

hello and thanks for joining r.t. four o'clock here in moscow on charon taraji peace envoy kofi annan says the syrian government has accepted his plan to halt the country's bloodshed his proposals include a mutual ceasefire and political dialogue archies middle east correspondent polis leader has more details poll is there any confirmation from damascus on this. well so far there's been no confirmation of from damascus over its acceptance of the former u.n. chief kofi annan six point peace plan but the fact that announces that damascus has accepted it is certainly a positive step in the planning the withdrawal of troops as well as heavy weaponry from population centers the opening of political dialogue between all sides and access to humanitarian groups that needs to go ahead and impeded but it is

important to say that for this plan to work it insists that the fighting stops immediately that both sides lay down weapons and that both sides come to the party and in the past we have heard from various syrian opposition leaders that they're not prepared to do this or at least not do it until the syrian president bashar assad steps down now while all of this is happening and there has been a flare up in violence on the ground along the syrian and lebanese border and the mainstream media is reporting that some two dozen syrian troops have crossed over into lebanon and are fighting syrian rebels there but this is being denied by the lebanese state television that says that this has not happened that there was some feinstein earlier today tuesday and that they were some strange but that there are no syrian troops currently inside lebanon what has of the reaction of the syrian opposition been like to coffee and also just friends. we haven't yet received

any kind of official answer from the syrian opposition to coffee announce proposal but certainly they've all been out in the quarter in terms of how events develop from here today tuesday the syrian opposition is nice seeing in the city of istanbul and that is a meeting that was called for by qatar and turkey who hold the rotating chair of the arab league the purpose of that meeting is really to arnaout the differences of the syrian opposition they are known to be a very fractured group with deep divisions so today's attempt is really to try and heal the divisions but there is a lot of skepticism in terms of whether this can be achieved the opposition is known by and large to be quite undemocratic in some circles also they're often charged with following their own self interests so whether or not today's meeting in fact will achieve anything remains to be seen at artie's middle east correspondent hala slayer. but at least x.-press francesco sisi told us that the

deep divisions within the syrian opposition could be a serious obstacle to peace. from what we know the rebels are very divided extremely divided in and these are called. for harder fight between different factions as we have seen for instance only see that leave it in print precious are now in conflict in some kind of conflict with each other this situation is the. brilliance people therefore you would be useful to have a peace settlement now are. nobody clearly winning and everybody would be. more in the mood for for compromise. still ahead for you on the program silencing the whistle. with the leaks wiki leaks we keep leaks which we highlight the lengths washington is prepared to go to to persecute the world's most famous whistleblower

truly an assault. on the private profiteers of bleeding britain's health service dry u.k. lawmakers a vote for reforms that could see a very firms make millions from the medical service. america's plans for a missile shield in eastern europe are a key crossroads wrapping up at the a soul nuclear summit president medvedev said either russia kids guarantees the shields not aimed at russia or an arms race is inevitable as washington also announced similar defenses in asia and the middle east for more on this from it even though we join her now live in the south korean capital so what's behind me because of some warnings. well mostly it looks like the. american president came to this summit mostly trying to push america's agenda when it comes to expanding its influence in the region that is in asia in the pacific region and in the middle

east again they're talking about putting radars. on and south korea considering there already have thousands of troops on the ground in south korea and thinking of putting more naval sits on a base that's being built there of course such plans are causing concern in moscow who are very not happy with the plans for the missile defense shield in europe of course that was one of the reasons one of the main topics of discussion seventeen presidents obama and the first place on monday are behind closed doors and they were hoping to keep them that way but the conversation between the two presidents was leaked and it's hard to media frenzy in the united states of course some of alma's opponents particularly mitt romney example the bandwagon used this as an opportunity to bash obama for supposedly not being realistic but of course the white house was very quick to refute. that statement by mitt romney

saying that. not so that russia is not the united states geopolitical enemy number one and of course the russian president making it also had something to say on the matter during his press conference saying that perhaps somebody in washington is abyss out of touch with reality. if you can in the u.s. presidential candidates to make. it didn't do them any harm to do so. here we are. well by looks of it however most interesting things seem to have happened not at the summit itself but on the sidelines again that conversation between obama and with that of statements made by obama on the eve of his summit when he went to the border with north korea and also use that as a party to the. regime and their ambitions in all things nuclear

a lot of all other statements was have been meeting quoting the press conference from the russian president all of that seems to be happening at the most particularly interesting things seem to have been happening all around the summit but not quite. the nuclear security summit in seoul all right everybody thank you for that. irina has all the developments in seoul on twitter including those candid comments by the presidents in one tweet. who leaked the obama conversation during the summit and quotes that person is saying it's what journalists are supposed to do. eric see wrote co-founder of the campaign to end the korean war believes u.s. involvement in military games in the korean peninsula is aimed at spreading its influence in the asia pacific region. they do as has its eyes on china and has its eyes on names painting its military superiority in the region you have to remember

that south korea is the largest purchaser of conventional weapons from the united states than any other country in the world there's a lot of money involved in this process and there is an eye on china to kind of flex the muscles and show that the u.s. still has. hope for a role in the region and we really need to find a way back to the table not see individual acts as a provocation north korea has a right to put a satellite into space as other nations do but let's demilitarized let's look at the face issues let's look at getting a peace treaty to end the korean war finally and then i think these kinds of issues want to arise. branching out big way about all the details of the spread of u.s. influence across the oceans at r.t.u. dot com including the latest plans by the pentagon to deploy missile defense shield

in some gulf states australia and japan this and much much more is also lined up for you on my. sofa resistance for new job rates of. the roots of new cumin for example the search of its own. breast cancers more than sense on its toes cancers fourteen times if you get the exact pieces with a few numbers there's not nothing that you have ever found in any epidemiological study do you have there is a way that brings victory. to its creator. he's not alone some are more severe than others we have something that is born without

skulls without ne and sometimes with their legs totally to mr means death to those who it's point is. to those who choose to swim. and the celebration and they don't realize that stand looking at their own future can't so i'm this is just. that so science. leakage and i show you so the extent how much i have leakers.

you're watching r t with me karen taraji the wiki leaks founder julian assange has pledged to push for openness in government for elected to the australian senate but that's if he ever gets the chance to stand and made america's growing outside to prosecute him along with other whistleblowers and as artie's merino board now reports some journalists are concerned that if a sausage is put behind bars it will mean the end to all press freedoms. he's an australian citizen in the custody of britain fighting extradition to sweden julian assange just fate plays out like a game of chess and no one wants the king of wiki leaks more than america with you leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks since january two thousand and eleven washington has had plans for

a song i secret uncovered earlier this month after five million confidential in mails from the global intelligence company strafford were published by guess who we are. a defendant is outside of the u.s. well hidden indictment which is secret they all see all the charging document the indictment they will ask for an arrest warrant and that matter well also that way the u.s. stands behind a big large boulder. and then jumps out from that boulder and arrest someone under house arrest for more than a year assigned has not been charged with any crime in any country though sweden wants to question him over sex related allegations the u.s. meanwhile is determined to punish the forty year old if you put your finger payback for exposing confidential cables repeatedly shaming america by shining

a spotlight on illegality and overseas military operations and some embarrassing tactics and opinions from the state department in washington that it's publishing the documents has created a national security risk the justice department has reportedly mounted in unprecedented investigation into wiki leaks aimed at prosecuting a songe under the espionage act you're going to continue to go after this through to make the point that we're tar and we're not going to let anybody or whether it's al qaida or whether it's an australian national and some say they'll go through any links. to make a point u.s. government within the federal criminal arena likes to charge others who are either aided and abetted assisted or were full blown coconspirators likes to go after those in an effort to flip on to get them to cooperate with the u.s. government against the major players in this case mr resawing sources tell r.t.

that the u.s. is now working on flipping none other than private bradley manning the u.s. soldier is facing twenty two federal charges for allegedly leaking seven hundred thousand documents and video to wiki leaks he's one of six americans obama's administration has charged with espionage if one of those cases makes it to the supreme court. err on the supreme court upholds the espionage act as an act which essentially criminalizes any whistleblower anybody who exposes work crimes anybody who challenges the official narrative of the lies of the state. then that's it because that would mean that any leaker can automatically be sent to prison for life and at that point any idea of freedom of information is over we will only know what the state wants us to know it's supposed to be a power to protect in the national security united states that is not the way that

you're listening to street will you are we will be as being something that is a message to them be careful you talk to me careful whom you write me what you write because you could be next in i think a number of reporters are going to say i'm not risking critics say the obama administration's unprecedented war on whistleblowers could ultimately deliver i death sentence to freedom of the press if people or publishers could be criminally convicted and jailed for exposing the truth more and more journalists may prefer to abandon first amendment privileges and reserve the right to remain silent marina we're not party the. other was topless represent a lifeline for a true democracy so says social sciences expert professor marcelo foote i don't know the interview in full is just about fifteen minutes but here's a preview. of disclosure is made by weakening aim to

reveal the secrets that truly belong to the people we should have elected pl so for it is we start abuse in power by not telling the truth and with that we think he is doing a huge favor to democracy in my opinion. with leaks actually sending in lifeboat to democracy. but it. wouldn't. turn for forget it for. taking a look at other news from around the world this hour sixteen people including afghan soldiers hoppin over rested in kabul after intelligence officers and found nearly a dozen suicide vests in the ministry of defense building it's believed those arrested plan to detonate themselves on several also is hiring staff back and forth

to work tensions have been high with one u.s. and two british soldiers killed by members of the afghan security force in separate incidents yesterday and earlier this month an american soldier went on a killing rampage shooting dead seventeen civilians. the father of mohammad marandi the man who murdered seven people includes france said he will sue the country for killing his son he's criticized the police for shooting rock saying officers could have used gas to capture him instead of deciding to kill him during a thirty two hour long siege meanwhile the gunman's brother is being held on charges of complicity in murder and terrorism. former international monetary fund chief dominique strauss column is under formal investigation again this time over alleged involvement in a prostitution ring a french court charged him with aggravated pimping he was then bailed for one hundred thousand euros strauss kahn resigned from the i.m.f.

last may offer being arrested on claims he sexually assaulted a new york hotel maid charges which were later dropped. but in wealth before help is the perception among. british public after their parliament voted through controversial measure medical care reforms many of the lawmakers who voted yes have links to private suppliers which stand to benefit leaving physicians and patients fearing for the u.k.'s free health care our smith has more on a system in need of a checkup. it's a merry go round of self interest along for the ride members of parliament the house of lords and health care companies opening up britain's national health service to plum duff by profiteers the jewel in the u.k.'s welfare state is under strain promising free health care but with criticism that it can't cope the government says private sector involvement is the only but some say it's not those

in need of care but rather those in power who are set to benefit the directors sitting on the boards. in the company. and yet they with these vested interests are allowed to vote on the health and social care bill with these private health interests which is a conflict of interest. institutional corruption at worst friends with benefits david cameron prime minister received two hundred ten thousand pounds to his party from nursing and care home tycoon pockets and made him a lot part of the party twenty five thousand pounds just a week after the health reforms were announced andrew lansley health secretary got twenty one thousand pounds to fund his office from john nash who is the chairman of care u.k. which already gets ninety six percent of its business from the n.h.s.

the list is long and illustrious it runs to nearly one hundred fifty names all lords and m.p.'s who voted yes to opening up health care to competition and stand to gain from the results there may be more the research isn't finished yet and now that the bill has passed its detractors are powerless to stop private companies stepping in and making health care about profit not healing investigation show a number of westminster m.p.'s quarter of britain's house of lords have links with private health care provider. as to investment patronage membership and the parties in power conservatives and liberal democrats have received substantial funding from paris private health care interests following the legislation those companies are already starting to see a number of private health interests starting to look very seriously cherry picking

some of the best most profitable parts of the national health service they were just waiting for this legislation to go through parliament and of course now ready to pounce the changes have been highly controversial and these people think they don't damage the quality of care many feel the m.p.'s did declare their interests they should have been banned from voting the government code of conduct as anybody with an interest must never take part in these difficult very interesting issues told were driven it's to do with private enterprise use. profit says not to do with. inside westminster m.p.'s reportedly banned the table in jubilation when the reforms passed outside the bell tolls the free health care. coming up later today our team's financial guru max kaiser has another story of powers profiting from the people. is that are sending them to the front line in

afghanistan or iraq you put them in one of these products they're now conscripted they're in this bind where they're giving their life essentially for the glory of the banks or the cultural revolution is it the bankers are glorious let us let us revel in the glory of the banks first you too can give away your life gets sucked into it when they sell these products out of the same kind of pretense you know byproduct is we're going to fight al qaeda by advertising dollar college you know that's total nonsense it's immoral it's illegal this poor person is now going to be facing a lifetime of onerous debts but it's all for the glory of the glorious pranksters as part of the cultural revolution. in the. plan to see what's happening on the money markets with danielle and it seems like the world bank's graded russia yes the economy has stabilized according to the reports in the last twelve months employment is ope we inequalities and trade is

strong but there is a coach welch of this is being fueled by oil prices because of the risk to from the world bank told us russia is not making the most of those benefits. when you look at the last four or five years from the rebound of the crisis we see that russia actually has a rebound slower than say its own rebound compared to the ninety eight crisis and it also has rebound slower compared to the many other emerging economies after the two thousand and eight crisis so what's making the recovery so slow given that high oil prices really have helped the recovery we think that a key factor for that is that investment in russia still is sluggish to parts for this on the macro economy side policies have to emphasize stability buffers have to be rebuilt so that when the next crisis comes russia is in a good place to address this crisis as well as russia to make progress on the

structural side to make the investment climate more friendly for investors. you know the most exists looking further to sell or trade as cash in yesterday's profits let's check individual share movers the blue chips are following those losses starting with russia's biggest. bt b.'s also reports that may boy a forty percent stake in top insurer in goal strength and. steel is also posting improved results for twenty eleven on full cost no longer into the red the is still tracking gains on wall street and asia. on reports of the front made by. kreutz just going into the red on the one who is seven. is still holding over one hundred twenty five bureaus just a bit lower against the dollar the bull is now also gaining against the ruble reversing yesterday's this morning's losses bureaus also up against russia's currency and russia's richest man has warned in
