active recently and of course these accusations may sound groundless but we've all seen just recently how the rebels may have framed people just last week a from the british journalist alex thompson from channel four has said that while working here in syria he and he's. were set up by the rebels to be killed by the syrian army he said that they were deliberately led into a death trap and he thinks that he opposition wanted them to be killed by the governmental forces to blame it on damascus meanwhile the u.n. monitors are working here on the ground to try to trying to do they have 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 a province of how much how many people were killed and who's to blame but this is extremely hard to do and the details of very hard to very far. because there is a lot of confusion and the main reason is that the many many sides been involved in

this conflict here in syria not just governmental forces all. of rebels rebel fighters but the results of the police third part. it may include. the jihad is whose goal is to topple the regime here in syria and over these toys involved in this conflict may be responsible for the killing and that also could be a provocation so it makes. the work call for u.n. . mission here on the ground extremely complicated we've also recently been hearing and now there are a lot of mean indicate the syrian national council the turkey based opposition group has elected a new leader and he is a kurd occurrence of 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 with this nomination here's a growly that the rebels are trying to involve as much people as possible and even involve this i think growth and that may lead to even more violence escalation is he in syria where even after reporting there from damascus now the syrian national council has been at odds with some opposition groups inside syria and the new s.n.c. has pledging rapprochement but angel times correspondent have escobar says the man and accounts are too disconnected from the front line. who goes after but. he's a very shady character he has very good kurdish corrections of course so many connections as well but he's also try to play to that christian and so the other whites 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 brail of the opposition if it's

a disgruntled matter in fact you know they don't get along with each other in the air if you will treat it 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 but i believe qatar daughter where i am at the moment and this is a subject to be discussed here in qatar i can find anybody here who would discuss would be trained cli what the qatari intelligence services are actually doing all 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 head of the syrians or is it still can also know what's really going on the ground. always more news analysis and pictures on our website r

t v dot com online at the moment and on godly scandal file season at least rate on the former head of the vatican bank allegedly expose misdeeds and side while the world's most secretive organizations plus. montreal's police tear gas and pepper spray student protesters but they refused to give an over to the rises video of the analysis and their reaction r. and r t dot com. now president francois hollande socialist party and its leftist allies stand take control of parliament following a triumphant first round they and their allies secured more than forty six percent giving a powerful boost to alliance reform mandate tests are celia has the latest from paris the results of the first round sort of these a very good moment for the socialist party in trying to get a majority of the lower house of parliament however nothing is certain definitely there's no time for complacency they can't just sit around and expect the same

results in the second relit saw forget that the actual voter turnout this time is just forty eight point three percent though if more people come out to vote in the second round the question is which side are they going to vote for and also there are still the u.n. people already the conservatives still trying to rally whatever support they can get most of dissipated a policy that is the one that he's speaking about quite a lot during his campaign which is one of growth for friends for the stereo that's on the one having how this translates for the french people is that more jobs taxing the rich it's this tax and spend policy that he wants it limited from it's as much as seventy five percent tax for the rich certainly not something that conservatives want to see if he wants to get this policy like that through he will need the support of the lower house just remember the socialists already have the support of the senate so it will be much easier to get things through you also promise about sixty thousand dollars. the next five years as well as retirement age

bringing it down to sixty and this is i guess from sixty two this is against the a stereotype driven path that the rest of europe is taking so france will be taking a very different approach as you go stare the approach if you will also of course we want to see if we drop french troops a year earlier than wind from afghanistan and he needs the support of both houses to get this through so france will a lot gunning for a majority in the parliament and let's not forget that it's necessary but he provides concrete results for the french people the patience is very low what this point and nicolas sarkozy became deeply unpopular for coming in with promises and not fulfilling any of those promises it's what got him out of the. test are still reporting there now coming on ground from the foundation for strategic research says the potential victory of the french socialist reflects a call for change around europe french pretty. interesting because they're not always go with the overall cycle in europe when we do see certainly the rise of

those nationalist he's all over the board in europe and this is clearly the case in problems where in europe and this is this is a phenomenon that is happening across the board. when it comes to the rise of socialism but. what's clear in the recent elections in europe is the. parties in power about the tendency to lose election that happened in greece in. spain in need to be so this is a situation where the incumbents are in trouble. coming up later in the program will work by unequal pay brain still match the bank balance in the united states we explain why for every dollar a man earns 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 in poland have arrested fourteen people involved in the brawl between polish and gratian supporters just before the gratian island game on sunday it's the latest incident in a string of clashes that has already seen a number of teams warned over their fans behavior while we're in ukraine the fans are not shying away from politics either as responded to 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 i'll certainly 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 study 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 politics 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 mistreatment of former ukraine's prime minister yulia timoshenko 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 so often their stance somehow. was transferred to a hospital in the city of cardiff one of the host cities of the euro twenty two a football championship nevertheless you can witness right here in a central. 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 those who are supporting the protesting her imprisonment they've been here 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 english demanding the political prisoner you know to much as they describe it to be released immediately certainly the e.u. leaders have suffered in their stand some of them will be coming to witness the football here in ukraine but we understand that angle of 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 our 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 such games when they play during the year it was 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 we'll see certainly in the coming weeks how this situation will unfold for now it's been very peaceful here and everyone certainly enjoys the great game of football which we see every night from both poland and ukraine it's an icy mix here has been reporting from ukraine well as for the drama on the pitch this so we've got to hear the details now as for his ability of course we'll see you in a later in the program but here's a sneak. view of what you're going to have their you know yes the degree to as alexa just said the part of him it's the feast of football that just keeps on giving because on monday there's another two huge games the pick of group action looks set to be england's march for france a huge one but get ready for a sea of yellow in kiev cool hosts you create and be prepared to take on sweden team you look very very good indeed in qualifying we've got

advanced degrees and there's a staying in the tail though their salary still lags far behind their male counterparts what's worse is that conservatives are blocking legislation to get fair pay as more important explains. he said it landscape 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 in the u.s. certainly aren't seventy seven cents for every dollar made by a man according to recent statistics men earn a higher salary say 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 heads. definitely has a lot of cases where women are blindly discriminated and where they are just discriminated. 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 with the double master's and i'm going to go for my ph d. man doesn't have to do that for this move if you feel that you know you need to be paid more you need to put it with don and say that i need to be paid more there's still racism that's still sexism i feel like there's a men feel they have a higher power women just any 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. wage babson is in part because it's hard to access that feel like the old boys' network and remember we're going to be 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 there should be taken 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 of the company's success has and is really due to the participation of women on its platform more than sixty percent of the people who participate in facebook are women maybe even more importantly than that one seventy percent of the actual sharing stuff that drives average and the stuff that makes facebook as dynamic a platform as it is. and the question by women and yet they went public

without a single woman on their border. 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. privacy is all but a thing of the past with savvy technologists tracking and collecting details of our every move but there is an invisible war being fought by the cypherpunks movement to keep our data private and they are on the latest edition of the julian assange show on tuesday here in our. when you say let's let the voters decide what the policy will be i can answer you from the perspective of what was the internet

in the last fifteen years where innovation was so-called bottom up where new practices emerged out of nothing were couple of guys in a garage invented a technology that spread like. for nearly everything. everything everything everything that happened on the internet just. being unknown a few months of few years before so you cannot predict what will be the next innovation my point here is that its. policy has to adapt to society and not the other 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 then we'll 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. well time to see what's happening in the world of business there for us as always so a mystery man is paying an eighty one year old american investment banker for a one shot. we're talking three and a half million dollars to have lunch with warren buffett is small details on the marina i'm going to start talking about spain because that's the big story of today and it all happens over the weekend we have the spanish government requesting a bailout for the fragile banking system we're talking one hundred thirty five

billion dollars that's equivalent to ten percent of g.d.p. making in the fourth year a nation to receive a is now in the official statement by the spanish economy minister he said the loan will cover estimated capital requirements with an additional safety margin now with that in mind the move means spain now has a fire wall should the greek election on june the seventy that we're waiting for if it does a fresh round of markets in other words. we're holding out of that not long now actually is it until the. election let's see if we go peter markets and see how they're responding right now and they are indeed still gaining for the sea on the optimism is really being felt just one of the iraqis as well as the spanish forces are still gaining strength four percent now are actually also to much of what growth figures coming out later on in today and they are expected to contracts of

out of the one to watch and also until her age of the session is actually closed but they were the first stop markets to get the news from spain and they too were grateful to say the least so we're looking at sort of temporary relief really chinese stocks rose for the first time in two months not just because of international data though also because of domestic dates that came out to do with their trade china's trade which is encouraging indeed now. exports jumped fifteen percent that was beating expectations and that's from the year before now industrial output and retail sales so they weren't quite so good because they did come in below estimates now alison now saying that the chinese authorities will likely continue with their stimulus measures to boost the growth now of thursday the country's central bank cut its interest rates the first time in more than three years all worries of a set low down in europe let's get on to the u.s.

markets and see how they closed up of friday and there was all this misery because they were very much pinning their hopes on the fact that the spanish government would make moves to counter the problems that they're enjoying with the banking system so as you can see that down three quarter of a cent around one percent opposed to territory for russia though it's actually closed today we're going to market holiday today and tomorrow but the markets were open on saturday and they were really a fairly optimism why because of oil prices which were indeed gaining we know that has a direct knock on effect here in moscow so as you can see they were gaining and that for the first time since february here in russia that was good stuff let's get us in curses and we see the exchange raise the ruble that is how it finished up on that stuff today's trading session so it was a mixed performance against the basket of currencies as the year the euro though is taking a battering in recent weeks because of all that but as you can see it is jumping now one twenty six fifteen for the traders favorite pair is that actually for its

biggest winning streak against the greenback in eight months all right let's see those oil prices are different in that they are indeed gaining and china's imports of crude have climbed to rec orders world of the second biggest consumer of oil and you can see both the light sweet the brands are indeed gaining at this hour ok so let's have what warren buffett now and a lot of us is set to pad a three. out of all million dollars to have logged with warren buffett eighty one year old billionaire he still bought it on to his fortune by cashing in to out of favor stocks and ideally hold such little action to benefit this charity now when i can invite up to seven of his chums to share e-mail and have a chance with the legendary investor now interestingly though buffett says most of the questions he gets lunch is not about investing is that about you. how did he

make his money so if i'm going to pay that much. what i mean he doesn't invest a lot in charity these days so this indeed is a noble cause so well done for him and katie thanks very much indeed for the days and recap of our top stories is coming your way shortly. comfort is the least you have. the money
