and they're planning chemical weapon a terror attack to blame it on damascus well we've seen indeed the rebels been christened lee aggressive and active recently and of course these accusations may sound groundless but we've all seen just recently how the rebels may frame people just last week a from a british journalist alex thompson from channel four has said that while working here in syria he and his crew were set up by the rebels to be killed by the syrian army he said they were deliberately lulled into a death trap and he thinks that the opposition wanted them to be killed by the government of forces to blame it on damascus meanwhile the u.n. monitors are working here on the ground to try are trying to do their best to investigate what's going on. right now they're trying to establish exactly what happened during last week's massacre in the central province some province of how mark how many people were killed and who's to blame but this is extremely hard to

do and the details are very hard to very far. because the reason lot of confusion and the main reason is that the run many many sides been pulled in this conflict in syria not just governmental forces all. of rebels rebel fighters but the reason also at least third part. it may include carbon are the jihad is whose goal is to topple the regime here in syria and any of these sides involved in this conflict may be responsible for the killing and that also could be a provocation so it makes. the world call for u.n. . mission here on the ground extremely complicated we've also recently been hearing another alarm indicate the syrian national council the turkey based opposition group has elected. and. courage courage

the largest ethnic minority here in syria and they haven't been anyhow involved in this crisis here in the country we haven't heard any problem from the area in north east of the country where they leave so this nomination of fear is a growing that the rebels are trying to involve as. people as possible and even involve these ethnic groups and that may lead to even more violence and more violence escalations here in syria. thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update live from the syrian capital damascus. now the appointment of an ethnic kurds to lead the opposition syrian national council is being seen as an attempt to garner wider support for the rebellion but asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the man and the council are two disconnected from the front line . sida who comes after by a home girl yan is

a very shady character he has very good kurdish connections of course so many connections as well but he has also tried to play to the christian answer there although i say look if there is. the government or rejean or we're not going to touch it nobody believes him incites you know in fact did jim braless the opposition umbrella is disgruntled matter in fact you know they don't get along with each other in the air he fields rated on the ground by people who are actually doing a lot of these killings in fact and these people they are mercenaries imported from libya by the way via qatar where i am at the moment and this is a blue subject to be discussed here in qatar i can find anybody here who would discuss with me tranquilly what the qatari intelligence services are actually doing

on the ground in syria but this is part of the qatari foreign policy they are financing and weaponize in the really hardcore arm of the syrian opposition and i'm not sure mr sieda the new ahead of the syrians or council knows what's really going on the ground are as morny analysis and pick tears on our website it could have come online at the moment. and all the scandal files season a police raid on a former head of the balcony bank allegedly exposed misdeeds and side one of the world's most secretive organizations plus. the moment we all may believe tear gas and pepper spray students protesters but they refused to given over to ration the rises the video analysis and the reaction are at home with much more to discover on our you tube channel.

four news today. these are the images the world from the streets of canada. showing operations around the day. of president francois hollande socialist party and its leftist allies stand to take control of parliament following a triumphant first round they and their allies secured more than forty six percent giving a powerful boost to a long before men date to her celia's following the race for power in pairs. what he really wants is an absolute majority if not an absolute majority of all the socialist party getting more than fifty percent that would be a majority of the left at least he would support his policies but let's remember that during the presidential elections people would come and voted for socialist stuff and so long they had voted for change in

a small because they didn't want any more so symbolically this is a test of the young the ability to get support from the french people he doesn't get the majority essentially he will have a president who is on the left and you will have a parliament that is on the right right now before this elections it was the conservatives that was had the majority in the lower house and this will certainly pose problems into passing new laws that he wants to get into place such as his proposal to add sixty thousand new jobs in education sector or tax the rich by as much as seventy five percent you know for so long it was campaigning on. more growth measures and getting faster out of the crisis and then if he doesn't get it if he doesn't get the support of the lower house he will not be able to go on the dispatcher and the conservatives are going to be more for this asserting measures now we see spain in trouble and you see my trickle down into france and if the french people get even more steady proselyting they're certainly not going to be happy about in france where a lot of it just in the beginning of

a storm does not want to see supports less and for the socialist party well as far as foreign policy is concerned the part of the military and defense he has also proposed to withdraw troops from afghanistan earlier a year earlier than planned and if he if he doesn't follow through with the promises he made during his election campaign he will need the support of the lower house he already has the majority in the senate and it's crucial that he does get the support of the parliament in france. grand from the foundation for strategic research has the potential victory of the french socialist reflects the call for change around europe. pretty. interesting because they're not. always go with the overall cycle in europe what do we do see certainly is the rise of those nationalist policies all over the board in europe and this is clearly the case in france where in europe and this is this is a phenomenon that it is happening across the board. when it comes to the rise of

social isn't. clear in the recent elections in europe is that the. parties in power have the tendency to do that action that happened in greece in the netherlands in spain in need to be so this is a situation where incumbents are in trouble. and coming up later in the program equal work but on equal pay brains don't match the band balance in the united states and we explain why for every dollar a man aren't a woman gets just seventy seven cents. just four days into the euro two thousand and twelve football finals and the atmosphere certainly hotting up in poland and ukraine and it's not just on the pitch with aggressive fans and politics threatening to overshadow the championship police polish police have arrested fourteen people involved in a brawl between irish polish and supporters just before the game

on sunday and it's the latest incident in a string of clashes that has already seen a number of teams warned over their fans behavior over in ukraine the fans are not shying away from politics either respond if you have seen reports. ukraine's capital kiev is joining in with the feast of football that is certainly the euro twenty two world football championship with the national side to play a swedish national side here on the monday evening out suddenly flans fans are flocking into the city with at least twenty five thousand arriving here on sunday alone so joining the huge army of swedish fans and fans from all over europe who have come here to witness this tournament now certainly from the organizational point of view everything has been smooth so far and certainly the tournament is all about sports it's all about football but to some extent you are twenty twelve is being overshadowed by boat six now we certainly remember that some leaders of the european states of the european union member states decided to boycott the

championship because of what they describe as a mistreatment of former ukraine's prime minister yulia tymoshenko who is serving seven years in prison for the abuse of power and now we understand that some of the members some of the leaders of the member states of the e.u. member states have solved in their stance some how much anger was transferred to a hospital in the city of critical one of the host cities of the euro why did well for the. championship nevertheless you can witness right here in a central key of what it's all about you can see the entrance to the fan zone and just meters away from the entrance to the fans on we see the tent of the opposition of those who are supporting you and the protesting her imprisonment they've been here in part for almost a year now they decided against removing their town with the euro twenty twelve coming to the ukrainian capital now suddenly they're still demanding that you must be freed and everyone all the tourists coming here can observe the posters they hang out in the demanding the political prisoner you know it's much like as they

describe it to be released immediately certainly the e.u. leaders have soft in their stance some of them will be coming to witness the football here in ukraine but we understand that angela merkel the german chancellor who always attends german matches when the national side plays decided against coming to ukraine at least during the group stage should germany qualify from the group stage then maybe we'll decide to come here and witness her side play some other side in the quarterfinals but for now i understand that she decided against coming here as well as almost all of the members of the dutch government the only sound of the minister of sport here to ukraine to attend the dutch games but other members who always attend dutch games when they play during the euros decided against coming here i also understand that the dutch supporters ahead of their game against denmark in the city of try to get marched the streets of this ukrainian city wearing t. shirts saying free so you can see for yourself that this story is being closely connected to politics closely connected to the pressure from the european union on

ukraine to release you will see certainly in the coming weeks how this situation will unfold for now it's been a very peaceful here and everyone certainly enjoys the great game of football which we see every night from both poland and ukraine. i suggest you for now as for the full bill itself we've got all the drama on the pitch was here and he's for its next hour. well see british science. is no time to write. down. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports on our.

line. would be soo much brighter if you need some from funds to pressure in some. news for instance on t.v. dot com. economists fear the one hundred billion euro loaned out the euro zone's agreed to give spain might not be enough by lending the cash to spain where one and four people are out of work ministers want to be sure investors and erect a crisis firewall spanish banks were left with billions of euros of bad loans after the property bubble burst sending the country into a deep recession are you spoke to a man who was often called the euro's founding father and in the next hour former

european commission president from our priority says the future of european governments should be based on working for their common good. if he's read all the governments. rules even if they follow all those they are democrats for all the while because they have to take the field in the one that. not that not that they cannot touch tax capital because it slows the way all the european states losing suffering and that this is a tragedy and so i've got to we put our so very together or we lose all our support for the reason you linked from france italy spain and the other compass for this more balance of policy in that i don't see that they will be a gauge generally because this would be stupid you know germany must be the leader

of the world in terms of economy and we need. dollars future up for discussion in crosstalk later today peter lavelle's guest asked whether it's time to retire the greenback asked the world's reserve currency when china is giving more bang for the buck here's what's ahead at seven thirty g.m.t. . i think everybody on the program knows china's foreign reserve holdings are a big political issue at home it's the blood sweat and tears of the chinese people what happened to its value what do you mean you wrote it off and second again as everybody knows if you were writing art of part of china's debt off you would start with the part that's in euro's you would start with the part that's in dollars so you know this is. a u.s. the u.s. fiscal situation you are to. according to morgan stanley. greets that of greece ok i'm not even talking about you know all the other better countries so that the u.s. is better than the eurozone i would very much doubt that and it's the real reason

why we have to train good money after bad because the u.s. is bankrupt. i know we formed opposition group and georgia is gathering steam with thousands rallying in the congress is country's second largest city the georgian dream party is the brainchild of the nation's richest billionaire who hopes to challenge president bush really and i actually at this here right now polls for his party around twenty percent behind the ruling united national movement that director of the new york based you arrange a democracy initiative warns that the government's response to the rallies may not be peaceful. no the opposition has criticised increasing. which already very issue has not gotten enough trikes among voters because government has to do with opposition protesters quite harshly and this one

particularly brutal crackdown if you remember occurred in two thousand and seven ironically the fourth anniversary of the. and yet the opposition sticks to its useful methods and or so going through his government will not have a good enough excuse to project on it it will have to rely. on the peaceful times in doing with these demonstrations but to be denied media coverage to the opposition. i also believe it is still. always take a look at some other stories from around the world militants from nigeria's rocket launches were bought a rom have attacked two churches fifty people were one hundred by a suicide bomber in the city of jost the blast triggered street protest in which six people died in a separate attack gunmen opened fire and worshippers in borno killing one person and injuring three others but the rams carried out a number of church attacks in its attempts to impose sharia law across nigeria.

violence in the capital of chile was sparked by a t.v. documentary which praised the country's former dictator augusto pinochet police had to use tear gas and water cannons to break up the angry crowds in santiago an estimated three thousand people were killed during pinochet's hardline seventeen year rule while thousands more were arrested or forced into exile. representatives from the war crimes court have flown to libya to negotiate the release of staff detained after visiting market office captured son saif al islam it's claimed one of the lawyers was carrying documents considered a danger to levy and national security the i.c.c. president is demanding the group's release saif al islam is accused of a role in killing protesters during the revolt that toppled his father's regime. and it was a sea of red and colombia's twenty thousand people took part in the six and tomato fight festival fifteen tons of the squishy salad vegetable were only in radiant for

an event which is staged to recognize farmers hard work. also inspired by spain's famous tomatina festival organizers say it's not wasteful because the tomatoes were considered in that a bowl and not suitable for the grocery store. now america's women are now top of the class overmanned when it comes to getting advanced degrees there is a stay in the tail though their salaries still left far behind their male counterparts and what's worse is that conservatives are blocking legislation to get fair pay as read up or not now explains. these medical and skate of america's professional force has undergone major reconstruction over the decades women now make up fifty percent of the nation's labor force sixty percent of the voting population and they've surpassed men in earning advanced college degrees but when it comes to salary the land of opportunity remains a land of inequality for women working women in the u.s.

certainly aren't seventy seven cents for every dollar made by a man according to recent statistics men earn higher salaries in nearly all occupations including nursing teaching and even secretarial work but experts say the pay gap has less to do with qualifications and much more to do with stereotypes surrounding gender united states that any differently has a lot of cases where women are bluntly discriminated and where they are just discriminated based based on sex the u.s. government says that the current earnings gap will cost the average full time working woman at least four hundred thousand dollars by the time she's sixty five years old we keep going for higher and higher degrees you know almost done with the double master's that i'm going to go for my ph d. man doesn't have to do that so this move if you feel that you know you need to be paid more you need to like put it with don and say that i need to be more this sort

of racism that still sexism i feel like there's a myth. men feel like they have a higher power of a woman just i mean sort of that even the workplace socially it just doesn't make sense according to the institute for women's policy research females working on wall street or in real estate face the largest earnings gaps making as much as forty percent less than their male counterpart financial occupations in those occupations women like. the wage gap some is in part because it's hard to access that. there is like the old boys' network and i don't remember the miracle of your best friend or your worst enemy america's old boys' network of the one nine hundred sixty s. depicted in the show mad men who put a man in their salute to get seriously seems to still permeate in most corporations today less than sixteen percent of fortune five hundred companies reportedly have a woman on the board. facebook has none this is

a company whose success is really due to the participation of women on its platform more than sixty percent of the people who participate in facebook are by me and maybe even more importantly than that and seventy percent of the actual sharing stuff that drives average and stuff that makes facebook as dynamic a platform as it is is being done and being questioned by women and yet they went public without a single woman on their board of directors inside the boardroom of america's lawmakers republicans recently block legislation aimed at strengthening equal pay for women the paycheck fairness act would require employers to prove that differences in pay are based on qualifications not gender and why did the window of time for filing discrimination lawsuits decades after breaking through the glass ceiling america's working women represent professional muscle but are still fighting for genuine equality. r.t.

new york. our privacy is all but a thing of the past with savvy technology is tracking and collecting details of our average move but there's an invisible war being fobbed by the cypherpunks movement to keep our data private and we are on the latest addition to join a sound show on tuesday here on r.t. when you say let's let the voters decide what the police you will be like and then you from the perspective of what was the internet in the last fifteen years where innovation was bottom up where new practice is emerged out of nothing were couple of guys in a garage invented a technology that spreads like. nearly everything from. everything everything that happened on the internet just. being unknown a few months or few few years before so you can predict what will be the next

innovation my point here is that it's. has to act to society and no deal the way around we have the impression with the copyright wars that. the legislature tries to make the whole society change to adapt to a framework that is defined by hollywood say ok what you're doing when you're with your new cultural practice is just morally wrong so if you don't want to stop it done with design legal tools to make you stop doing what you think is good this is not the way to make good policy so i'm convinced that when you enable the most powerful industrial actors to decide what policy should be you don't go that way. and coming up here in our get insight into america's down route and that's after the headlines in just
