if you knew the song from the phone stupid. stunts on t.v. don't come. syrians to choose their next leaders during free elections with an all inclusive transitional government and me interrupt an international deal agreed in geneva sets out a way towards peace but. we syrian opposition claiming they can be no solution unless president abbas and assad steps down is a growing here in damascus and the latest peace initiative forged in zuniga will only remain a solution on paper. britain's big brother internet and phone firms are to record that own private email social network activity and telephone calls in the u.k. but there is deep concern over a new government plans to pry into citizens a personal affair. and fresh calls to try julian a songs for spying

are made in washington while the top whistleblower waits for an answer on his asylum bit as our team prepares to air the final episode of this interview show. hello and thank you for joining aren't here with me karen tara this monday it's eight o'clock here in moscow and transitional government and free elections that's the latest international plan to try and put an end to syria's bloody internal conflict and a deal agreed in geneva states the syrian people are to decide the fate of the country and there are no demands for regime change are cheesier going to school reports. the diplomatic roll calls to reform the stores we're going through ups and downs and even before this calling for. in geneva. russia's foreign minister

sergey lavrov met with hillary clinton in st petersburg after that meeting he said she changed her position but then she wasn't really at the media conference following that meeting. meeting to confirm that so it wasn't really clear then the conference in geneva itself much longer than initially expected nobody really nobody really knew what's going to what was going to come out of it but in the end they did end up signing this document sixteen months it's a very long time and since the beginning russia has been saying this is an internal matter for syria and no outsiders could order a solution to the situation there and. it's a mystery why it took so long for the international community to agree because now it's reflected in this final document it took all these vetoes and discussions it's just unclear really why it took these sixteen months. we consider it of the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian side how the

transitional process should happen politically how exactly this process will take place is up to the syrian people this document is very precise. well the idea of this plan is that syrian people and that's the most important part syria will establish this transition government or body which will include all sides of the conflict with the authorities and all groups within the opposition including the rebels then. that they will have a new constitution and democratic elections everything will be monitored by the united nations and specifically by u.n. special envoy kofi annan is awful planning to visit syria and for talks with both sides but the bottom line right now is that the international community was able to reach this understanding that it's vital for this unity to be sustained and even if some new interpretations do appear then it's all inked in this document syria's

opposition has rejected the new international plant and the country's bloody internal conflict they say they don't want president assad to be a part of the political transition. has more from damascus. syrian opposition has already criticised harshly and agreements reached by world powers we can't engineer has to beg to be able to and the ongoing crisis the sixteen month loan crisis here in syria we've been hearing from both syrian national council turkey based opposition umbrella and free syrian army military wean off the opposition that can be no solution unless president bashar al assad steps aside we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but of course skepticism is growing and fears are growing that with the opposition now claiming they all will not accept the interrogation and if i saw it and his closest allies will also take part in

that. this latest peace initiative. with all they remain as solution paid for we have been able to speak to all three people here on the streets of damascus and they've been saying that all they want is peace and security and safety to come back to the country they don't oppose as part of this government if only these helps to stop the violence here in the country. turkey isn't letting tension is on its front here with syria sending six fighter jets to the area says it's in response to helicopters from the arab states flying close to the border though there was no violation of its airspace the move follows the shooting down of a turkish fighter jet last month after it crossed into syrian airspace claim to the plane was on armed and had strayed briefly while just testing its own side's radar

in response to the downing of the aircraft turkey began deploying artillery along its border with syria damascus meanwhile insists it was just protecting its security. and still have for you a little later news from another middle eastern country where the wounds of the arab spring remain open. libya's questionable headway towards democracy reels under a crushing blow as protesters tear an election authority office into pieces in the very birthplace of last year's uprising. and the unprecedented sanctions against iran are now in force will they succeed in making abandon its nuclear ambitions they can find out in a few minutes here on our team. the u.k. has found another way to snoop into citizens affairs enter net and phone companies are such to install so-called black boxes which will monitor e-mail social networking activity and calls and store them for a year it's all part of

a government plan to catch terrorists and sex offenders the authorities insist that only limited details will be stored but activists are raising privacy concerns. this is almost literally orwellian under the plan as it's been described the government will have boxes deep cryptic everyone's private emails and web surfing and for saying companies to record all of that data to be turned over to the government at any time i mean it's almost like literally opening up every letter that gets sent through the post office so that the government can make a copy just in case one of the biggest issues with this proposal is that the boxes you know will be kept by the peace and it's very hard to say that this is going to make it one more secure given that it's easy to imagine it's either a rogue guy has to be employees wrote government officials or just hackers and they were breaking into the i experienced using all of this personal information you know on the internet as it is you know

a lot of personal information moves through budiman but it's not all kept in one place by having these computers store it all there creating a huge target for criminals but allies incredibly vague and brought it just as the government needs the power to spy on everybody what it is that they're actually interested in it's hard to say and i think it comes out of an intelligent not trying to solve a particular problem but just if they could like oh wouldn't it be nice if we were powerful you know governments always want to be more powerful they always want just in case the ability to spy on everyone but the government has provided no clear explanation of what the problem is they're trying this all. the embargo of iranian oil is now in place along with fresh u.s. sanctions against countries dealing with teheran and the measures are aimed at pressuring iran to curb its nuclear program and islamic republic says however that it's been stockpiling money as a buffer and that selling oil remains a problem thanks to america exempting some countries from penalties including china and singapore author and journalist offshore aton sea says the sanctions are

unlikely to have the desired effect. iran will be more than happy to replace all the oil exports to europe with their customers whether they be in love america or lose notably china because it goes the u.s. has exam to china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these you have to also actions are outrageous and wrong. imports crude oil imports from iran rose thirty five percent the back to two thousand and eleven levels it seems a state presumably again lobbied by israel which seems to be running its foreign policy well to do this at the same time as the great economic crisis in europe is causing havoc increase oil prices are certainly going to make not only the euro but european finances suffer so this isn't going to help the world economy and it's certainly not having any impact on the road so to come this hour four years on

since washington's launched a marketing campaign promoting brand usa all for the world. we investigate whether president obama's plan could succeed in a tracking attracting more visitors from emerging economies and create new jobs in his own country. than europe's largest city just got two times bigger inside its former president dmitri medvedev proposal to expand moscow's boundaries has been put into place we have the details in just a few minutes. hundreds of protesters and militia man have raided the office of libya's electoral commission in the city of benghazi trashing equipment and voting paperwork armed men seeking autonomy for the region are believed to be behind me attack just days before the country's first general election after the fall of moammar gadhafi activist and analysts who can chandan says it's just a sign of how far libya is in real reality from democracy. the elections are

about to come about in libya in a few days but i don't think it's a sign of any democratic progress in libya because all indicators which should be there which will lead to. a healthy democracy will be taking place are absent so what we have is the relative persecution of women's rights relative to what happened in the gadhafi persecution of all dark skin libyans who are being persecuted on the basis that they are loyal by it by by dint of the pigmentation of the skin to gadhafi we have intertribal warfare girl or we have four hundred militias all across libya there is no there's no law and order there's no security so this is this is far from any basis of a true people focus democracy but this is the nature of the n.t.s.c. nato democracy and this is the nature of the democracy that nato want to bring to all the peoples of the global south. it's live in minutes past the hour and a u.s. senator has renewed calls for julian assad to be prosecuted for espionage

dot com. back in two thousand and nine president obama put tourism on me agenda as a potential economy booster advertising brand america across the world but the ambitious plan hasn't managed to pull the jobs market out of a slump with june yet another week month for the struggling u.s. economy we're in a point now reports. america's economy was once like the strongest and fastest roller coaster everyone wanted to ride. but nearly four years following wall street's financial freefall more than fifteen million u.s. citizens lack full time jobs. and employment problem the u.s. president hopes the visitors from other countries can help fix more money spent by more tourists means more businesses can hire more workers washington has launched a marketing campaign promoting brand usa all over the world.

with a heavy focus on travelers from brazil china and india visitors from all three emerging economies contributed a reported fifteen billion dollars to the u.s. in two thousand and ten part of what's going on in the united states is americans don't have any money anymore and they can't afford to go on vacation and part of what you're seeing is them looking to replace the weak pushed out american middle class with folks from other parts the world where the economy is going better and wages are growing in an effort to lure the big spenders the white house has made it easier and quicker for more chinese and brazilian citizens to obtain tourist visas before brand usa came brand big apple new york city america's top tourist destination attracted more than fifty million visitors last year now while the weak u.s. dollar has been a burdett for the buying power of u.s. citizens customers armed with a stronger currency have business booming and prices from dropping international

a law jobs for people cleaning hotel rooms and serving meals i decade ago the idea of an american president betting on tourists from brazil china and india for jobs would have raised many eyebrows. today however two hundred million dollars is being spent to brand usa abroad while social services continue being cut at home. r.t. new york. well there are always more stories waiting for you at r.t. dot com here's a quick taste. in time for a change the british prime minister paves the way for a possible referendum on the u.k.'s membership saying his country's people are not happy with relations as they are. also as the demand for drones is expected to continue to grow the american state of florida is devoting a large chunk of funding hoping to become the country's haul before on demand aerial vehicles.

party's candidate third. the boundaries of the russian capital have been officially extended to the southwest as promised means the city is now more than twice as big of an area peter oliver looks into what the expansion means for muscovites. it was always one of europe's largest cities no moscow has gotten even bigger from the first of july a huge chunk of what had been the most go region is now being absorbed into the city proper but why was this done and what differences will it make to the lives of those living in the new parts of the city. the changes which were put forward last year by then president dmitri medvedev see two small cities and three municipal districts coming inside the city limits seeing moscow grow almost two and a half times covering an area roughly the size of a quarter of a million football pitches but the idea here is that these new sites will take some of the strain of moscow's jump city center their plans to make them attractive to

foreign investment also some elements of russia's federal government will see their headquarters relocating to new buildings away from downtown there's even the possibility of building a new financial hub in the southwest of the city and those involved in that project will be hoping it can benefit from its out of center location and even compete with moscow city when it comes to attracting business but what is astonishing about the boundary changes is that as much as this is moscow now so is here as well listen p. village seems a far cry from the gridlocked traffic and skyscrapers of the city center but things are set to change here not only in terms of construction projects for the locals here registration documents are going to have to be changed taxes filed in new locations and for senior citizens the basic pension is set to rise by around one

hundred euro per month so what the locals here feel about becoming muscovites who are pushing fifty years i've been living here i think is bad for a villager who got used to our farming land here in the movies made the changes lincoln immediately victory think we'll see development take place cricket in our area and now that we part of the city doing any of them over goes i think is positive i'm all for the project i think it will be profitable this will create a new moscow with the money for him to feel well in some areas the development is already underway as you can see from the forest of apartment buildings that have being erected just behind me but over the coming years the should be plenty more construction work to be carried out peter all over r.t. moscow. it's twenty two minutes past the hour i'll be back with the headlines after this short break.
