kofi islands of peace plan for syria falls into place as regime troops begin their withdrawal for new western and arab funding for the opposition it's rebels against each other and they compete for more cash. security versus liberty the u.s. congress examines a new act into tackling cyber terror the freedom activists want it could become a license for wiretapping by the state. and a three day period of mourning begins for the victims of monday's plane crash in western siberia as our team needs a firefighter who was among the first the purpose of one of it's from the wreckage .

around the world and around the clock this is our take on kerry towards government forces have reportedly begun to withdraw from conflict zones across syria it's ahead of a planned cease fire next week which many hope at long last spring pace to the war torn nation but there's growing doubt over whether the rebels appointed by western cash and support will choose to one of the troops nazis paula slit has more now from the region. a syrian government official has confirmed that syrian troops have begun with point with some calm cities and returning to their bases while in the more volatile cities the troops have been moved to the outskirts now this one is about only a head of a deadline for an international peace plan to be influential devils' the parameters there are forward by the form it you in chief. but according to the plan the

opposition will have seen forty eight hours to stop financing and this is a point that the syrian government has for is that if the opposition does not come to the party then this peace plan has no chance of surviving at the same time on sunday we saw a nice scene by the friends of syria and this was where the united states and other allies cleage with the support to the opposition here we heard that they were willing to find and provide communication equipment to the opposition with the syrian opposition confirming that saudi arabia and other allies disabled they would be played millions of dollars for salaries to the labels so that they could stick up their opposition to the syrian government now this is a very controversial news because on the one hand you have this question of the tension and this if it and confirmation by the syrian government that it's moving ahead with a peace plan but on the other hand you have the opposition seemingly stray saying

that it's going to receive support from the united states and other western allies to increase its opposition. luma from the universal peace corp is skeptical about the decision to fund the rebels so is there is a potential cease fire. sending money as much as millions of dollars to the bills or to the opposition as to the inside syria will help them a lot i mean that will help them in military not just takes military equipment so artillery and this will let's act as a support to the united nations plan b. gen power such as turkey saudi arabia or qatar they want to see you know stop for this civil war i'm sorry to say this because it has been so flawed in action since each year the world to hear that much pressure on the regime of president bashar assad in order for him to leave the country and let them have been the new president has a loyalty to the saudis or the companies and even the west because i mean no such nation has stood up and backed the resistance inside lebanon and even healthy and

a new regime for the islamic republic of iran as such like. and if in the few years that he was president since two thousand and ten. turning to egypt could the muslim brotherhood's attempts to install their own man its president put a damper on the country's drive for freedom. of el challenges his cross-talk guests it's not an advocacy can co-exist with food programs on the air and next hour. in the wake of america's so-called war on terror which. a good muslim brother pushed the muslim brotherhood. and officially political landscape. i don't remember. oh no no no no no no reason first or another. good or in first has he

asked first go ahead or the brotherhood has been underground for decades going back to the year of the nasser so i mean i'm not quite sure where in the view is going is going is fact. a new bill for internet security is finding great to support among u.s. lawmakers it's on the ballot hard information gathering to combat cyber attacks and terrorism and freedom activists say it could lead to what they have proper communication by the state parties or the chicken expose of washington's selective supports of internet freedom. the u.s. government continue spending millions of dollars to support freedom of the internet around the world but is it freedom for all we can leaks which to many has become the symbol of fear now freedom has been under fire from u.s. officials and lawmakers because we can reach publish documents which embarrass the american government in many ways we can expect come to the enemy the u.s.

has reportedly issued a secret indictment against julian assange 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 and he 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 peter ranbir and has served as a foreign service officer of the state department he says he was fired over the book and the blog that he wrote about the failure of u.s. policies in iraq the state department since two thousand and eight has spent seventy six million dollars overseas on internet freedom giving tools and support to 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 inconveniently form of we q leaks and it's work just as hard

and spent probably more money trying to shut down free speech but it opposes supporting free speech but it furthers america's own political goals will receive we call that hypocrisy but it's not just the leaking website is that the us is after but also there's. source's critics say this and mr asian is embark on an unprecedented campaign against whistleblowers in this culture where this administration is going after whistleblowers in a president of way we all have an obligation to protect our sources i have to say that i myself am really nervous about the safety of some of the people that i talk to as a journalist that covers national security i'm talking all the time with people that work in the intelligence and the military community to send shock waves to 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 help people in the middle east and trying to get around iran and blocking firewalls at the same time ironically enough

american companies provide bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with their technology to effectively block websites a lot of the tools of control that are used by so-called repressive governments are provided by american companies the difference is that corporations for better or worse talk about profit that's their motivation the government however the american government talks about freedom and democracy as its motivation when in fact in many ways you can in the opposite direction some argue that left uncontrolled the export of surveillance inside blocking tools by american companies would undermine beer in everything the same way as arms exports undermine peace initiatives as far as u.s. government efforts to securing our 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 to freedoms and then expect our reporting for us to take our to. the

cyber security door comes hot on the heels of the stop online piracy act and protect ip act which fails because of public outrage temple 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 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 by merilee with the national security agency or another component of the department of defense so we have a number of concerns with something like this that creates sort of a vast hole in the privacy law to allow government to receive those kinds of information but i think one of the lessons that we learned in the reaction. is that . when congress tries to legislate on the things that are going to have

a fact internet users experience the internet users are going to pay attention and bills you know like congressman rogers information. could affect in a very serious way the internet experience and so you know we know people are starting to notice where the fleet of this i will bring you more discussion of concerns over decline of freedom and democracy in the u.s. there's a criticism of the two party system is for you with a political force as being true for you where you can use interview with one of the some of its leaders very what's his interest. it isn't the choice of americans the ordinary americans that you have a monopoly of two corporate backed parties it is in the interests of those two corporate back parties to exclude any voices that challenge 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 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 isn't because of there is a a a general consensus in the population for that it is it is it it is a monopoly against genuine democracy. now. data from the flight recorders of a plane which crashed in the western siberia on monday reportedly show 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 parts of the wings. hit the ground just minutes after takeoff and then twelve out of forty three on board

managing to survive a fish or three day period of mourning for the victims has begun the first feels expected to take place later today greets caught up with a man who was among the first to come to the aid something. i heard a boom from work called and they told us to come so we wind up in the sea billets you realize something was wrong because the magnitude of the situation hadn't quite sunk in among the first fighters on the scene yuri immediately spotted one with few survivors. the first thing we saw was the point debris on the fire when we started putting feelings out there was this man standing alone he didn't seem to have a scratch and he can we gave him a lift he spoke ok but he was shaking he said he was very cold he kept on asking us to turn the heater on even though it was all radio. people lost their lives in a tragedy this shocked the country there are only twelve other survivors pulled

from the wreckage one dying on route to the hospital others remain in a critical condition the investigation here continues but for a brief moment those involved stop their work that's a relief family members arrive at the crash site a site where they lost their loved ones for the chance to pay their respects to say well word out still to rule the cause of flights. the. thrust into grief relatives have. left searching for answers and already some think they know the most probable cause if it's true is a tragedy that could be diverted. we have reason to believe that the plane was not properly sprayed with antifreeze because. we intend to send instructions of preflight safety measures to airlines to prevent such accidents in the future. but

the investigation is far from over and hasn't reached any conclusions black box flight data and the launch see intact cockpit may provide answers team scour the flight's final minutes looking for clues relatives of the victims are left to cold to play their loss to greece assy. well sort of confidence out more accusations of pentagon meddling this time the unit u.s. military finds itself being tracked into another escalating conflict also. like the bombings of the part of a few. come out of the sample. binge drinking on the rise of the u.k. government valves to ban or to buy discounts an effort to curb the growing. iraqi government has accused its autonomous kurdish region of illegally softening off

for iraq it's the most laissez faire economy on the planet and this is exactly what corporations want these raids political disputes amongst the amongst the regions but no one's actually looking at the bigger picture which is the pillage of iraq by western private corporations. remember we have many more stories that might catch your eye on our website at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's not and if you did today arms scandal in india as in the letter use the country's defense is a two week response billions of dollars spent on weaponry. plus the charging of the truck about how russian agent and friend anna chapman is getting close to a member of president obama's cabinet morris party dot com.

the u.k. government is calling for an end to cheap deals on alcohol and efforts to curb binge drinking they say bargain prices in supermarkets are encouraging people to drink more but others say increasing prices won't help those artes other reports for some the 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 family now drink about the line on time classics maybe. fifty six yeah tech bytes. maybe a couple shops it's about. five or maybe if they succeed it's this kind of heavy

drinking that's being blamed for the storing numbers of deaths from liver disease in the u.k. eleven and a half thousand people die each year from the disease twenty five percent more than just a decade ago according to medical data most of those deaths are down to alcohol abuse so how much is too much well. the recommended daily limit is four units of alcohol so around two points of being the even if you drink in the nights so points of beer we binge drinking according to experts seriously damaging your health but even lease is nothing compared to what many get free come last to what is already a very for that what we don't want what i tend to operate more. parts are not have a few were. you shocked for example. that you can cope an amount six times more than what's considered safe by alcohol the boisterous 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 you getting weight getting in trouble potentially putting yourself at physical risk or you know bryants 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 to selling booze that rock bottom prices just twenty pounds can buy used many as forty cans of strong cider it now wants to ban these multi buy discounts and impose a minimum price of pulte pence per unit it will fall supermarkets to effectively double their prices on the cheap piece drinks but the industry's adamant it's not cos that's causing the trouble the heaviest rain caused people to drink problematic levels of elise likely to be to drinking by price rises in france a minimum unit price would do is raise the price for millions of ordinary consumers

especially with getting involved in yet another conflict but is the relation of who's a legitimate target or not. and you know just because the united states is the crowd it is a military target how do you determine what you are. right i think that a danger is that the united states will be drawn into a counterinsurgency operation i think that's where we're headed maybe noticed division between you know somebody who's a terrorist or united states. and you know somebody who's this is not participating in a counterinsurgency inside of yemen and there's a very dangerous president. now with another country to me that's a government but it's all he said but it should just north of developed by its neighbors with immediate exit from power are we come on to seize control of months to suppress rebels in the country's north. that follows

new evidence that iran had breached the nonproliferation agreement should mention friday from the school of oriental and african studies in london says the case against iran is built on the faulty logic the eye ear concerned as it is stated in all its two poor since two thousand and three is that i cannot confirm that iran does not have any intention to build nuclear weapons and that is basically trying to prove a negative which is logically impossible you cannot prove that somebody does not want to do something and it's a case of iran iran has allowed. time and again in. the country the problem with iran seems to be its uranium enrichment program is iran's inalienable right to nonproliferation treaty article thaw and that seems to be the basis of all

the problems that the us has. the us wants iran to give up its uranium enrichment program altogether and only import nuclear fuel which is something that iran cannot accept and should not accept and i don't think that will accept in the future. that's across services this is their joint case here katie what's happening on the business front here well it seems that global investors are still unmoved. and that's following the meeting that we had yesterday with the u.s. that's. now they seemed less eager to launch additional monetary stimulus and disappointed some investors today let's have a look at the russian market because they opened up in the last twenty minutes or so as you can see it's completely different from the last three days of gains that we've seen here they are tracking those over seas losses there was also a report by hate just b.c.

showing that business activity growth slowed in the country's service sector last month as what is that your growth rate is the lowest level in three miles or still remains relatively strong particularly when we look up back at historical rates but there's a few concerns we're going to be looking at today as far as the russian markets are concerned as you can see we've got we've got losses in the first hour of trade this is how the group wall is trading that's now moving. and as you can see is gaining against the euro but losing against the us dollar today it's had some strong gains against the us dollar recently so that's somewhat disappointing if you look at the year at all is one thirty one ninety seven at this hour plus the how asia is getting on now stocks that opposing up the shop for today call have been closed all day for a public holiday finished up higher after a positive chinese manufacturing data that was released yesterday as you can see the k.-i over two percent down their shares have really been under pressure it's

metal firms that are really taking a hit and that's after commodity prices dropped after the fed meeting that i was talking about is have a look at oil prices and see i do believe they are still declining and that would be for a second day now another report showed rising u.s. crude stockpiles as well as a conclusion from the federal reserve meeting i was. you are indicating that frank you see no need for more moderate to easy on a less economic growth lies i am even while we're on the topic of natural resources that despite all the efforts of the russian government to cut not true natural resource dependency local businesses are getting even more addicted to resource a poll by the national agency for financial studies says this was seen among small and medium sized businesses the agency has poll people from around pew thousand fathoms fifty two percent said prices were the most important for their companies

and that's compared to forty seven percent a year ago as this thing worked. leave it on top of the i.p.o. could take place in the russian market this month the country's top bulking wine maker. says they are preparing to offer up ten percent of their shares the company estimates itself at around one hundred million dollars. ok i'll be back next i'm going to talk about the european markets i'm also going to be chatting about the individual families on my six israel care a very straightforward. very clear with a recap of the top stories shortly you're watching it stick. see. that the. coming.
