video on demand. now in the palm of your. cofee and peace plan for syria falls into place as regime troops begin the withdrawal of the new western and arab funding for the opposition it's rebels against each other as they compete for more catch. to keep the security the u.s. congress examines a new act tamed tackling cyber terror but freedom activists want it could become a license for baptising by the state. calls the last orders of the supermarket alcohol in the u.k. with binge drinking on the rise the government passed a plan by discounts that fact that the growing problem.
4:01 am
well news and much more twenty four hours a day you're watching him carry just the top story now the government's 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 bring peace to the water on the nation but there's growing doubts over whether the rebels are void by western cash and support and choose to all of the troops. cross to ati's call us live for more on the story paula and can you tell us more about the latest situation in syria on the ground. well eighteen united nations personnel have started arriving in syria and this is to pave the way for monitors that will be there to oversee and april tenth ceasefire agreement and now that agreement was
4:02 am
brokered by the former u.n. chief kofi annan it into some six points and among those points are the withdrawal of syrian troops from cities laying down of arms on both sides and also the establishment of humanitarian corridors we have heard from the syrian government that they've begun a troop withdrawal that in the more volatile cities the troops have moved in the perimeter and in the palace cities the troops have actually moved back to their bases and all of that coming to a little bit of this april tenth deadline but at the same time fighting does continue in several syrian cities fighting on both sides so it is raising alarm bells in terms of just how effective these preliminary moves will be and we haven't yet heard any word from the opposition they will have some forty eight hours to lay down arms and of course the syrian government is making the point that if the opposition do not come to the party and here to this side of the green and then they can be no real peace in syria a has there been much reaction it should be
4:03 am
apparent without government forces both internationally and in syria so. well thought from actually supporting the syrian government's moves we've heard from the united states of a threatening the regime with the un security council action the men can bassett it to the united nations used words such as urgent and serious consequences and here the referral was to the syrian government if they don't adhere to their part of the cease fire agreement there was no mention made of what would happen to the rebels and the opposition this comes just days after a friends of syria conference was held and that saw the united states and other western and arab countries pledging visit port to the opposition we've heard from countries like saudi arabia and qatar pledging some one hundred million dollars and it was talk of this money being used to pay salaries to provide equipment as well as other support for the rebels in their opposition fight this has received
4:04 am
a lot of criticism by the international community the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said these kind of moves would be accidental to any kind of peace plan he also said that even if the international community arms locked position to the teeth this will not see the overthrow of the syrian regime and willing state lead to a thirty three aged civil war. ok from the our porous they are already correspondent thank you for that update. we're going to be hearing a saloon from the universal peace federation skeptical about the decision to from the group was just days for potential cease fire. the money as much as millions of dollars to the rebels or to the opposition is today 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 and regional powers such as turkey but want to
4:05 am
saudi arabia they want to see you know stop for this civil war i'm sorry to see 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 let them have the new president has a loyalty to the saudis or the companies and even the west because i mean no such nation has the resistance inside lebanon and even healthy arabian regime or the islamic republic of iran as such like. and in the few years that he was president since two thousand and. four turning to egypt could be was limit brotherhood's attempts to install a man as president put it down there on the country's drive for freedom. people a valid challenges his cross to guests i think islam and democracy can co-exist food program is an air of the right of thirty candy. in the wake of america's
4:06 am
so-called war on terror which effectively the muslim brotherhood pushed the muslim brotherhood. to the party. and officially in the political landscape. no no no no. the brotherhood has been underground for decades going back to the era of the nasser so i mean i'm not quite sure where in the view is going is going the fact. a new bill for internet security is finding a way to support u.s. lawmakers who are now in hunston from asian gathering to combat cyber attacks and terrorism but freedom activists say it could lead to wiretapping of private communication by the state or not is going to expose washington selective support
4:07 am
of internet freedom. the u.s. government continue spending millions of dollars to support freedom of the internet around the war but is it freedom for all we keep leaks which to many has become the symbol of an average been under fire from u.s. officials and lawmakers because we can reach publish arguments which embarrass the american government in many ways we can beat the comes the enemy the u.s. has reportedly issued a secret indictment against julian a songe the head of the website which leaked hundreds of thousands of documents revealing embarrassing details about wars in iraq and afghanistan five major u.s. financial institutions he said master card pay pal western union and the bank of america have tried to economically strangle we here least by blocking donations to the web site until recently peter van buren has served as a foreign service officer at 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 and the state department since two thousand and eight has spent
4:08 am
seventy six million dollars overseas on internet freedom giving tools and support to bloggers and journalists and online all 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 can leak so this work just as hard and spent probably more money trying to shut down for the speech but it opposes while supporting free speech but it feels furthers america's own political goals overseas we call that a proper sick but it's not just a leaking website is that the u.s. is after but also there's sources critics say this is mr asian is embark on an unprecedented campaign against whistleblowers in this culture with this administration is going after whistleblowers in a president away we all have an obligation to protect her sources i have to say that i myself am really nervous about the safety of some of the people that i talk
4:09 am
to as a third. the covers national security i'm talking all the time with people that work in the intelligence and military community get a sense shockwave through the community while trying to stifle inconvenient leaks and 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 china get around 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 which we control that are used by so-called repressive governments are provided by american company big differences or corporations for better or worse talk about profit as their motivation and government oh however the american government talks about freedom and democracy as its motivation when in fact in many ways it changed in the opposite direction some argue that left uncontrolled the export of surveillance inside walking tours by american companies could undermine
4:10 am
the air in every in the same way as arms exports undermine peace initiatives as far as u.s. government efforts to secure area 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 then a second reporting from washington r.t. . well the planned cyber security though comes hot on the heels of the stop online piracy act and protect i.p.o.'s which both failed because of public outrage candle burning from the center for democracy and technology but here is the new home they 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
4:11 am
shared primarily with 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 law to allow government to receive those kinds of information i think one of the last sins that we learned in the reaction to. it is that when congress tries to legislate on the things that are going to be a fact internet users experience the internet users are going to pay attention and bills you know like congressman rogers bill and information bells on congress definitely could act in a very serious way the internet experience and so you know we know people are starting to notice. we're still to come for you and there's more i can say sions of parents are going badly this is part of yemen military itself being dragged into another so they can call. israel's prime minister says economic
4:12 am
isolation isn't enough to make iran and its nuclear program a small it's a lack of evidence that representatives offer anything other than domestic and. the u.k. government is calling for an end to cheap deals on alcohol and efforts to curb drinking they say bargain prices in supermarkets are encouraging people to drink more but others say increasing prices won't help so it seems have a good at their reports for solving the consequences could be fatal. this is your average friday night now in britain it's not yet midnight but many people have already drunk well over the limit of what's considered binge drinking from now on i drink about people the blind. know it. yeah take pipes yeah maybe a couple shots. fired maybe fifty sixty it's this kind of heavy
4:13 am
drinking that's being blamed for the soaring numbers of deaths from liver disease in the. 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 the hall. so how much is too much the recommended daily limit is four units of alcohol so around two pints of beer but even if you drink nights so four points of beer every binge drinking and according to experts seriously damaging your health even lease is nothing compared to what many get free come last orders are a very. few shops example. and you can quote that amount six times more than what's considered
4:14 am
safe by alcohol or by screwfix well there is a very great need to address the alcohol disuse issue in the united kingdom and short of long term side of his on the short term you know the issues around getting weight getting in trouble potentially putting yourself at physical risk or you know 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 blamed supermarkets for selling booze 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 fall 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 who drink problematic levels of alcohol a least likely to be deterred by price rises the minimum unit price would do is
4:15 am
raise the price for millions of consumers liberals the section of society likely to be caused it it's the ports those are the lowest income so it seems very unfair in a policy that's not actually going to be successful in tackling the problem drinkers at the moment that falls to the police the punch drunk punch ups a familiar sight come closing time the government claims ending bargain for using 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 town for the fall down from having another destructive nights on the tiles are the bennett's party. we have many more stories that like catch your eye on our website r.t. dot com here's just a taste of what's lined up for you there today the scandal in india as a leaked letter reveals the country's defenses too weak despite billions of dollars

4:22 am
want to do something and you take a selfie iran iran has allowed i spect time and again in the country and the problem with iran seems to be its uranium enrichment program which is iran's inalienable right under the nonproliferation treaty article four and that seems to be the basis of all the problems that the us has to run and 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. well let's join katie and find out what's happening in the financial markets today katie what's the latest carrie well it's pretty much the same picture of him and we're seeing a little red colors at the moment and that's all following through from the losses in asia and they were following on from a negative drop in

a wall street and that's because the u.s. federal reserve seems less eager to launch additional monetary stimulus as the economy remains stable as they did but it was a necessary look at the russian markets was seen as a very disappointing day we're going to turn off our trade here in moscow as you can see the r.t.s. around of the stand down my six around half a percent in negative territory now that was a report by hey justin b.c. showing that business activity growth slowed in the country's service sector last month was certainly having an effect as well as seeing what the stocks are up to today ross hardware they have had a particularly disappointing day over a percent in negative territory now and that sort of falls a cubit in dollars of its shares to state the bank has been despised we've also got a change of options with them they wanted to drag themselves back into up positive territory now one of the minority shareholders is to freeze its shares of a australian iron ore companies it's an interesting one to watch out for and i have

4:25 am
one is that we can have a look at these oil figures see how they're getting on they are indeed is the kind of greedy move that she in the last several hours that you have got like so weak that one hundred three and a half dollars per barrel or one hundred twenty four and a half of the bread blend that now on this topic of natural resources despite all the efforts by the russian government to steer away from the dependency or not to resort to was also his head local businesses are already getting even more addicted would you say they are appalled by the national agency for final two studies that this was seen among small and medium sized businesses the agency polled people from around two thousand and fifty two percent said prices were the most important factor for their companies and that's compared to just forty seven cents a loss as something i love to talk about is that barclay we're going to probably i.p.o. and it could take place in the russian market. this month the country's top sparkling
