ceasefire. fresh terror attacks in syria claimed more lives as the un wants its powerless to oversee of peace plan unless it's implemented by all sides. the founder of wiki leaks prepares to take center stage once again as the host of his very own interview show right here on our. quizzes the new president. who was swept to power by a popular uprising just ahead. calls for dialogue with iran struggling to be heard amid the war on capitol hill with a military strike still firmly on the agenda.

it is good to have you with us today here on a. roll re sushi live in moscow in syria people have been killed and dozens wounded in twin bombings in the city of live the government and the opposition both blaming each other for orchestrating the attacks the united nations warns the ongoing violence threatens the peace plan that helped to broker the head of the expanding u.n. observer mission to syria says the road map is futile unless all sides observe a cease fire meanwhile damascus is preparing to hold nationwide parliamentary elections in just a week's time let's not get some reaction from jordan based professor. joining us live on good to see you today both damascus and the opposition say their ultimate goal is peace so who would possibly be seeking to scuttle the u.n.

plan and why. i think it's been obvious that the opposition especially the armed factions of the opposition have said time and again that they will lay down their weapons and this is in conjunction with declarations from some of the arab gulf states and turkey that the opposition needs to be armed now that sends a signal especially to the extreme elements within the opposition the process the process of these stabilizing the syrian regime will still be ongoing and militarily and that are clear if not directly or by by the nato so the blame can be. shouldered here by the opposition for sure. if i may just jump in for a moment you raise a very good point you talk about how the opposition the rebel opposition to being you mentioned whether being by nato directly or indirectly let's address this one

big issue in the past thirty six or so hours eleven on intercepting a huge shipment of smuggled meant for the syrian rebels the weapons came from libya one hundred fifty tons of the weapons that do you think a major gun run like this could have been carried out without the backing of the powers that be only are we talking covertly wargames that play. i think you are very well aware that since the war on gaza the nato and conjunction with. have laid siege practically on the eastern part of the mediterranean allegedly to prevent the smuggling of weapons to hamas so i do not understand or see how this could have all the surveillance video satellite. surveillance or amount of time surveillance by the u.s.

navy or by the israeli navy there's just no way that this could have passed through the southern part of the eastern mediterranean without being detected by nato or at least israel so i'm pretty sure that the this represents an ongoing effort who knows how many shipments of weapons have a skate the action by the lebanese government and at the same time i would like to draw attention to the fact that nato is libya so who can actually prove such a shipment to be sent into syria without being detected in libya by nato or its intelligence officers so i think as the saying out on as you say the weapons that we were talking about here that were supposed to go to the syrian rebels came from one of five warehouses in libya legibly under the protection and the watch of

nato now if we can just move along just for a moment we have a just a week left until the parliamentary elections how is to massacres expecting the results to be recognized when the u.n. says that our side still isn't fully implementing the peace plan. and fucked is going on with this process so stupid a move and the pretext on the part of nato or the arab gulf states that he is not going along with the reforms everybody has been demanding reforms right so what more do you want to have free elections parliamentary elections for the people and now. you know people are saying you should not hold elections because you have instability which is why the way was by in that act and covert military interference from the g.c.c. and the nato and turkey and syria so that's that's a catch twenty two or

a vicious cycle if you want i think that syria is doing this for one reason mainly and that reason is not necessarily to abide by what the nato wants i think assad wants to show the syrian people that he is very serious about instigating reform and the elements and the parties that have been preventing this from taking place as nato and those who are speaking loud those implementing them are let's see let's get it well you know you bring up the issue of implementing democracy that's a whole nother story altogether many call that just a smokescreen for some form of intervention but you talk about the u.n. peace plan the arab and u.n. envoy kofi annan we talk about the rebels being off by these covert war games we talk about assad trying to implement a peace plan trying to to show that he's willing to cooperate with the world community at the end of the day what is the end game with the west's motives in

syria what are they trying to do. i think they are trying to destabilize and overthrow and end the pendent regime and have it replaced by a regime that is friendly to the entrance of nato and this has ramifications that extend far beyond the boundaries of syria they have roots among. them and international empire and the geo strategic struggle with the rising states like russia and china so this is about at this throwing and dependent state that has been relatively successful and building has some i end up on the economic base that is dependent on agriculture and us three manufacturing specifically as opposed to being an importing state that is bound to that from the i.m.f. and the world bank that's the bottom line these people will not let up until they

have achieved their goal and i've said this time and over again on this channel that they are not serious about peace in syria what they really want is store overthrow the regime that's the end game are professor ibrahim al lucia joining us live from amman many thanks indeed for coming on our team today thank you very much . the world's number one it whistleblower returns to ati's screens on tuesday with the latest episode of his controversial show of course julian assange cheez already interviewed the head of hezbollah by then brought together to political extremes from both sides of the atlantic laura smith previews the next installment. well this is the third episode of the program and the guest this week is the first president of the new president. she needs here of course is where the arab spring first really kicked off and the jasmine revolution as it's come to be

known was ok but one of the most successful revelations that the arab spring has caused it was prompted of course and this is why this is this program is so interesting the revolution was prompted at least in part by revelations from wiki leaks the wiki leaks released some cables at the time about corruption in the she was in government told them. it's been in power since one thousand eight hundred seven and that was the first really hard evidence to meditation that the people of tunisia had seen that their government was so corrupt the government couldn't suppress that information months of muscle is cut from in an entirely different cloth from his predecessor he's a doctor and he's also a human rights activist and in fact during the reign of the previous president ben ali he was exiled and imprisoned and so he is seen to have some of the greatest moral authority of all the arab leaders at the moment during his imprisonment he

was kept in solitary confinement which he considers to be torture he talks quite a lot about that during the program and he's determined there will be no more talk during the program he recalls a time when he was invited to the u.s. to talk about the human rights situation in tunisia and he says that that reveals a complete set of double standards four years ago i was a right to. talk about human rights in tunisia. i was a very. important. dealing with. issues no i'm not going to meet this person because it would be ridiculous to talk with this guy knowing very. well you know there was probably be implicated in the. problem you going to talk. to somebody. in torture in his own country and this guy is going to give you some lesson about how to promote human rights in

tunisia this is why i didn't accept to meet him that's just a tiny bit of this program you can catch the whole state of the world tomorrow tuesday at eleven thirty g.m.t. . it is good to have you with us today here on are still to come for you in the program that of the british bias corporation we reported by the b.b.c. has gotten free was angry over its failure to challenge the government with impartial reporting now just think of the. of the changing face of technology russian engineers are breathing life into. motors to try and help

improve people's lives. as the six world powers prepare for a new round of nuclear talks with iran next month the hawks on capitol hill don't seem to be quite ready for change the u.s. congress has voted down a bill which i was aiming at a direct diplomacy with tehran. and explains why the motion didn't stick. juror thirty six a number of u.s. lawmakers have proposed a bill to end the no contact policy between the u.s. and iran after three decades of diplomatic silence congressman dennis kucinich is one of them he says the old approach when washington wants to resolve differences with a rant not talking to them is unsustainable we're being told we should have any contact with them we're being told that we shouldn't be negotiating with them we're being told. to get ready for war all of that is wrong what we need to

do is to have direct negotiations we need to be talking with iran and we need to stop this vainglorious notion that somehow we can settle our differences with iran through war how many people share your view among their colleagues eleven. ten eleven that's how many votes. out of four hundred thirty five members of the house of representatives has recently voted four hundred eleven to ten in support of the bill which would make it illegal for any american official to make contacts with a new radio in a third hole without congress' approval so in light of the numbers dennis kucinich is counter efforts seem more symbolic than real if we congress is a message to the world that says look we don't have to talk to you we don't have to

negotiate with you wage war on you if you don't do our do our bidding that's not how you treat people imagine for a moment if at the height of the cuban missile crisis if. nikita khrushchev and john f. kennedy. we're not speaking to each other opponents of direct talks with iran argue why the u.s. should do it before iran lift its own ban on negotiating with the us are the iranians ready for direct talks i don't see the iranians lifting their ban before the u.s. does that's because the iranians are in a much weaker position than the united states and so it does take more capital for them to agree to such steps opinion polls show the majority of americans seven out of ten say yes to diplomacy with iran but is that a message their representatives want to hear the voice of. arms merchants.

of war contractors. but people who just make money off a war they don't care where the war is or who it hurts i just want to make money and they can push the us spawning another war they'll do it and members of congress have to be wise as to when they're being played by interest groups who may want them to vote in one way but it would be a way that would be adverse to the interests of the american people with a decision to outlaw any contact with the iranian government american lawmakers are building brick by brick a legislative wall which makes the prospect of ever having normal relations with iran virtually impossible we also see many ukrainians there in the e.u. that it's not their nuclear program that was after the regime change a proposition that would only lead to further escalation now reporting from washington our people are struggling to nigeria now to kick off. an explosion has

renewed government buildings in nigeria's state killing seven injuring twelve it comes less than a day off the coordinated attacks on christian worshipers on a university campus and in a chapel in the country's north that left at least twenty one dead at this point no one has claimed responsibility but the islamist group a book is active in the area having killed one hundred fifty people in a blast in january. any anti government activist will be retried along with twenty other opposition members a military court sentenced. to life in prison in june for plotting to overthrow the state's rulers he began a hunger strike three months ago reportedly bringing him self close to death the anti-government protests first began in bahrain in february last year up to sixty are said to have died in clashes since. spain has fallen to

a second recession now amid government measures to rein in the country's debt ratings agency standard and poor's has downgraded nine. spain's banks many of which are bogged down in bad loans the recent protests have seen thousands taking to the streets once again goodbye sweeping cuts to health care and education. now it presents itself as a bastion of free speech to the world but the b.b.c. is increasingly finding itself on the wrong side of online mudslinging britain's main broadcaster is being accused by its viewers of being too pro-government in its reports that is either bennett investigates why critics believe the b.b.c. is failing the very people who fund its existence. here the new prim and proper speech may be on the way out but the message is still the same impartial reportings the top priority is the b.b.c.

television does britain's public broadcaster really represent those who run the. b.b.c. and in my mind has a judy to challenge the government in power and they are failing to do that and they are not representing the people they really need to listen to the public because at the end of the day we are paying their wages the b.b.c. gets three billion pounds from the public every year in the form of license fees so if you own a television in britain and you have to pay almost one hundred fifty pounds just to watch it now that's spent on programming as well as news that many don't feel they're getting their money's worth. on twitter for example b.b.c. bias is a hot topic the channel's reporting of the government's controversial health and welfare reforms have stoked recent debates. many still fiercely opposed the bills passed in parliament and claim they've been ignored not just by the government but by the broadcaster to die i truly believe had our national

broadcaster accurately reflected everything that was taking place. in terms of the welfare reform bill and the n.h.s. they wouldn't a contrary parliament you will notice that when they talk about austerity measures they don't necessarily refer to cuts they refer to savings and that for manipulation of what opposition party labor made an official complaint over the wording it accused the broadcaster buckling under government pressure to get on side when challenged on this the b.b.c. gave us this statement b.b.c. news provides impartial and balanced coverage across all output and we believe we have a food in the n.h.s. reform bill the appropriate level of coverage across radio t.v. and online. news programmes and bulletins reported extensively on a wide range of opposition views from politicians health workers and members of the public good coverage on other thorny topics like scottish independence has been

heavily criticised too with doubts recently cast over the impartiality of senior correspondents these b.b.c. training videos posted on you tube show its reporters attacking scotland's pro independence stance stance distinctly unpopular down south of the b.b.c. again it denies bias but some say it will always pander to whoever's in power here the b.b.c. is guilty of gross journalistic irresponsibility m.e.p. gerard batten risk to prosecution for publicly refusing to pay his t.v. license fee his protest against the b.b.c.'s coverage of the two thousand and nine european elections he claims it plugged a pro europe government fed line the b.b.c. does things with propaganda now that. marvel at their subtle use of language the way they present stories the way they try to make you think something based on their presentation you know and i've done a fantastic job if you're in the propaganda business you know. what really makes me

angry is doing it with our money and this is my reason for being opposed to the license for judging by the. growing dissent on twitter others could soon follow suit. see london. to access all of our stories and much more at any time just log on to our website. some of the stories are standing by waiting for there right now including replicating history let's hope there's a happier ending to this one titanic the second set to set sail by two thousand and sixteen those details about si dot com. also one line i drive by. google street view cars were intentionally collecting private data from wife uses something up until now the giants have always been our.

you know just a moment i'll get to dmitri with the business of russian engineers seem to have found a way of making science fiction science fact they are creating androids that can not only imitate real people but also see and respond to objects and faces and as peter out of how about the development can also help those with limited abilities. all over the world scientists are making leaps and bounds in robotic technology in a small lab just outside of moscow a team believe that they are on the cusp of creating a robot body that can be controlled remotely with a human brain. itself i think in the next few months we will make a robot that will be able to move around on wheels the next step is to make a robot that can walk controlled by the movements of a human operator which we hope to do by next year if you want to see what our

ultimate goal is you can watch movies like avatar are surrogates robots controlled by human thought. this is the team's current prototype it was designed to test the robot's eyesight each is an individual camera which observes and remembers the surroundings obstacles and faces underneath the latex lines a complex system of motors and electronics the designers hoped that this robotic skeleton could be the first step towards creating the next generation of artificial intelligence perhaps even robots that think for themselves. exciting stuff however there are those that are asking the question just because we can does that mean we should make you a. scientist are not always able to answer these questions clearly these projects are on the borderline between science and human morals but a scientist is always tempted to play god to create a symbol in so themselves an artificial human that as far as i know projects of

that sort have all failed questions of. are of little worry to vladimir and his team their only concern is the advancement of science. i don't think there are any serious issues of morality here we are trying to create life only further our knowledge and understanding of what is capable we're not all the projects being developed here sound like they'd come straight out of a side five movie like this robotic arm actually being used to help people that have lost limbs. at this definitely can be used to help the disabled people will read or in some experiments the subject without hands tried this technology he said the hand was working for him all it takes is to teach electrodes to the undamaged part of the arm so they can read the must look to a team. the dream of one day having a humanoid robot that can be controlled remotely is shared by more than just the

scientific community meal but t.v. suffers from cerebral palsy highly educated driven and creative his condition leaves him trapped in his own body for all. this technology would enable people like me to do the things most people take for granted was called chores doing the laundry moreover this made it possible for us to go out to live. on these would be astounding progress for people like me. it's hope the first fully automated robot bodies will be online by twenty forty five leaving us just over thirty years before we could see science fiction become science fact piece or all of our party. rated imagery there you are going to see you again i know you've got the business news are more data coming in around the world are pointing to an economic slowdown you're just a fountain of positive news today. it is a slow day but we've just had consumer growth consumer spending growth slowing down

in the united states on the other hand incomes have gone up point four percent so really a mixed. feeling on that data over in europe we are seeing however a negative picture on the back of g.d.p. data coming in with a slow down zero point three percent growth in the first quarter compared to the previous quarter sun and poor's also has downgraded sixteen banks and therefore using the four c. and the dax in negative territory but not so much it seems investors are hard to impress the same applies to the commodities markets where we are seeing oil declining with nymex in light sweet losing around a half a dollar per barrel that's on the back of supply stabilizing on the other hand really an economic slowdown in the united states and therefore we have seen the most narrow margin and terms of trading and well in april and more than seventeen years over in currencies we are seeing the euro weakening slightly versus the

dollar but that's been the case of the past week pretty much these values that we are seeing right now have been there the russian ruble strong the day we can do against currencies and on the russian market of course it's a day off so connected with the may holiday festivities we did see a working day on a saturday next saturday will also be a working day today is a day off very complicated too long to explain the r.t.s. and my sex we're pretty much flat on saturday moving over to another story to russians have made it onto the list of the richest people in the united kingdom actually the top three positions their owners basically have made their fortunes in markets now the shareholder of facebook and the owner of mattel and they're stylish it was smart of is the second richest person in the country his fortunes were around twelve point three billion pounds as you can see there but i want to know

more which comes in third with his nine point five billion pounds he owns russia's largest. and the richest person in the u.k. is. he's an indian born owner of the world's biggest steel producer. well overall britain's richest people achieved record levels of wealth last year despite the country slipping back towards recession. and that's all we've got for you this southwest business will be back next hour to bring an update rory to meet you always a pleasure seeing that. are still to come here and i will be back with a recap of the headlines and then a very special report on how you can escape civilization and move to paradise.

this is. the room. civilization notice your absence. is there life outside solution possible.
