western allies to increase its opposition or more salumi from the universal preschool ration is skeptical about the decisions of from the rebels just that these were intentional ceasefire. sending money as much as millions of dollars to the rebels or to the opposition has to be inside syria will help them a lot i mean they will help them in military not just takes military equipment so artillery and this will not act as a support to the united nations. such as turkey saudi arabia qatar they want to see you know stop this civil war i'm sorry to say this because it has been so fraught in action since here they want to hear that much pressure on the regime of president bashar assad in order for him to leave the country and have the new president has a loyalty to the saudis or the qataris and even the west because i mean no such nation has stood up and backed the resistance inside lebanon and even healthier

1:06 am
a songe the head of the website which leaves hundreds of thousands of documents revealing embarrassing details about wars in iraq and afghanistan five major u.s. financial institutions we said master card pay pal western union and the bank of america have tried to economically strangle weak elites by blocking donations to the web site until recently been around viewer and has served as a foreign service officer the state department he says he was fired over the book and the blog that he wrote about the failure of us policies in iraq the state department since two thousand and eight has spent seventy six million dollars all received on internet freedom giving tools and support bloggers and girlish and online people around the world particularly in countries that we have difficulties with at the same time the state department has spent all that time and all that money supporting those bloggers it has found internet freedom to be inconvenient in the form of we q leaks i just work just as hard and spend probably more money
1:07 am
trying to shut down for the speech that it opposes while supporting crease speech that it furthers america's own political goals overseas we call that a partnership but it's not just a leaking what size that the u.s. is after but also their sources critics say this is mr asian is embark on an unprecedented campaign against whistleblowers but in this culture where this administration is going after whistleblowers in and out of president away we all have an obligation to protect our sources i have to say that i was so a little nervous about the safety of some of the people that i talked to. as a journalist of course national security i'm talking all the time with people that work in the intelligence but military community has said shockwave through the community while trying to stifle inconvenient beliefs at home the u.s. perceives the internet and social networking platforms as major tools for spreading democracy and spends millions of dollars to hold people in the middle east and trying to get around iran and blocking firewalls at the same time ironically enough
1:08 am
american companies provide bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites a lot of the tools of control that are used by so-called repressive governments are provided by american completely different citizens or corporations for better or worse talk about rocker as their motivation the government however the american government talks about freedom and democracy as its motivation when in fact in many ways you can see in the opposite direction some argue that left on control the export of surveillance inside blocking tools by american companies could undermine beer in everything the same way as arms exports undermine peace initiatives as far as u.s. government efforts to secure your air freedom there seem to be two kinds of freedoms freedom that they encourage and freedom that they punish but is there such a thing as too freedoms and very strict reporting from washington party. cyber security and the war comes hard on the heels of the stop online piracy act
1:09 am
and protect yes it's failed because of public outrage but at the berman there from the center for democracy and technology believes the new bill may share their fate as it's a basic infringement of privacy essentially what the bill does is it creates a structure whereby private companies are encouraged to monitor for cyber threat information that goes across their networks and then share that information with the government it doesn't specify to whom in the government that information should be shared but the structure of the bill all likelihood would be that it would be shared. but the national security agency or another component of the department of defense so we have a number of concerns with something like this bill that creates sort of a vast hole in the privacy laws to allow government to receive this kinds of information i think one of the lessons that we learned in the reactions or so is that when congress tries to legislate on the things that are going to affect
1:10 am
internet users experience the internet users are going to pay attention bills you know like congressman rogers bill information bills on congress definitely could affect in a very serious way the internet experience and so you know people are starting to notice. but a little later today we'll bring you more discussion on concerns over a decline of freedom and democracy in the u.s. there's criticism that the two party system is failing but other political forces being choked even before they emerge you can watch artie's interview with one of those a voice is from the outside jerry white. it isn't the choice of americans ordinary americans that you have a monopoly of two corporate back partners it is in the interests of those two corporate back parties to exclude any voices that challenges the political monopoly of the financial elite over society no one asked the american people in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine should trillions of dollars be handed
1:11 am
out to the reckless financier's on wall street that destroyed the economy if they were asked they would clearly say no that money should go to schools should go to jobs it should go to health care so the political monopoly that exists is in because of there is a general consensus in the population for that it is it is it it is a monopoly against genuine democracy. and data from the flight recorders of a plane which crashed in western siberia on monday reportedly shows that the pilot's decision not to spray the aircraft with antifreeze was the main cause of the accident according to a russian newspaper that ice forming inside a moving parts of the wings the aircraft hit the ground just minutes after takeoff you need twelve out of forty three on board managing says. a short three day period

1:16 am

binge drinking. prices in supermarkets encouraging people to drink more but other say creasing prices would help. reports some consequences could be fatal. this is your average friday night out in britain it's not yet midnight but many people have already drunk well over the limit of what's considered binge drinking more now i drink wine. yeah take bites. maybe a couple shots. fired maybe if they succeed it's this kind of heavy drinking being blamed for the soaring numbers of deaths from liver disease. eleven and a half thousand people die each year from the disease twenty five percent more than
1:18 am
just a decade ago according to medical data most of those deaths are down to alcohol abuse so how much is too much the recommended daily limit is four units of alcohol so around two points of beer that even if you drink in a night out so pints of beer every binge drinking according to experts seriously damaging your health but even this is nothing compared to what many get through come last orders. more. than you can cope an amount six times more than what's considered safe by alcohol price critics well there is a very great need to address the alcohol misuse issue in the united kingdom the short and long term side of his on the short term you know the issues around getting weight getting. potentially putting yourself at physical risk or your
1:19 am
violence or something along those lines those are all short term issues that need to be addressed then you have the longer term health issues which are issues around heart disease cancer liver disease the government blames supermarkets selling booze or rock bottom prices just twenty pounds can buy you as many as forty cans of strong cider it now wants to ban these multi buy discounts and impose a minimum price of forty pence per unit it will force supermarkets to effectively double their prices on the cheap drinks but the industry's adamant it's not cost that's causing the trouble the heaviest drinkers people drink problematic levels of alcohol a least likely to be deterred from drinking but price rises when in fact the minimum unit price would do is raise the price for millions of ordinary consumers live there is a section of society likely to be holistic it's the poor it's those are the lowest income so it seems very unfair on a policy that's not actually going to be successful in tackling the problem
1:20 am
drinkers at the moment that falls to the police punch drunk punch ups a familiar sight come closing time the government claims ending bargain losing would instantly cut crime and massively reduce alcohol related deaths but with the bulk of binge drinkers already paying over the proposed minimum it's clearly not the temple bar them from having another destructive night on the tiles michael bennet. but more than three days of nonstop u.s. backed air bombardment in south yemen has left at least forty three suspected al-qaeda militants dead last month washington intensified its support for many government s. trucks that killed both insurgents and civilians charles schmitz of american institute on human studies believes the u.s. is playing with fire by getting involved in yet another conflict. relation. the legitimate target and not. just because the united states is the greater.
