hello and thank you for joining our t.v. this monday with me karen tara it is one o'clock here in moscow syria's opposition has rejected a new international plan to end the country's a bloody and turn all conflict they say they don't want president assad or the members of his government to be part of the political transition a meeting in geneva international powers agreed that the syrian people are to decide the fate of the country and there are no demands for regime change is more if a national has more from damascus. the geneva peace proposal was the latest attempt to reconcile the divided sides in the syrian conflict with a unity government facto president really fading even before the delegates in switzerland returned to their homes the syrian national council and see and the free syrian army the political and military forces spearheading the uprising both financed from and based abroad have made it clear they can be no solution with us

are in power as allowed in the geneva agreement the home base position is less direct though some still warn it's too late for dialogue the un and so our party boycotted mase parliamentary elections its leader has said the time has come for all sides to make sacrifices and the government should lead the way. the peace plan will all the work of assad hands over control of the armed forces and security to the interim government they should start seeing the free syrian army and others who are against them as the opposition know everyone agrees some say the syrian opposition is too fragmented to be trusted larp had been the only those who really want dialogue should be thought of as legitimate opposition and who is that there's a battle of wills the geopolitical interests of big regional players and the we're sure to see more games being played to sabotage the peace efforts of the syrian people we spoke to welcome to the idea of

a unity government but with some reservations of their own if their position is internal national there is no problem but if it's an opposition with foreign passports that's just not acceptable. we understand what we want but we cannot understand what the opposition wants apart from assad to go what else. gelly omar said head of the s.n.c. we don't even know who they are we don't need them. with so many unknowns analysts say the syrian opposition has both. covert and open support of nations who demand regime change and to back the rebels with tons of weapons channeled into syria to fuel the conflict. the first thing to do this is take away these arms otherwise a new peace is possible but that can be done quickly too much money has been spent and too many parties involved but meanwhile according to the geneva document the syrian people are the only ones who should decide their country's future but

they're concerned they want to get the chance. of course we did syrian people should decide what we want for ourselves we knew that already if. they brought foreign terrorists from outside and money it was a conspiracy from the first day. of the going stubs of iowans while foreign countries are found in singing and supporting the rebels but it seems that no matter how much international game playing the reason it will be syrians themselves who bear the brunt the dream didn't last long less than two days after the latest peace initiative force forward in geneva skepticism is growing that an interim governing body made up of the syrian opposition and current regime will ever become more than just a solution on paper with more lives being lost every day in this war torn country this bloody saga looks far from over. r.t. from damascus and syria peace efforts are the geneva conference were just talk says

asia terms correspondent barbara believes the rebels and the parties backing them only want regime change. and they will name a lay down arms station because from the past two months they have been heavily weaponized by ball saudi arabia and counter so just like the original coffee annan plan it was bound to fail from the beginning what is being discussed in geneva he's also bound to say it's for show it's to tell the international community which basically he is a few nato countries the us israel turkey and always lead the russians and the chinese and the bric countries are not full by and most of the developing world the nonaligned movement nobody is fooled about it what decent main players for in play of swan's regime change in syria they have to pull some wall in front of the international the so they have to go c.n.n. planned they have the geneva discussions and it's absolutely ridiculous because the

buggers suing fights iran and saudi arabia which are both major players in the syria situation it's ridiculous. meanwhile turkey isn't letting the tension ease on its front here with syria sending six fighter jets to the area and carter says it's in response to helicopters from the arab state flying close to the border though there were no violations and its air space and the followers of the shooting down of a turkish fighter jet last month after it crossed into syrian air space on card a claim to the plane was on armed and had strayed briefly while just testing its own science radars in response to the downing of the aircraft turkey began deploying our chiller e. along its border with syria damascus meanwhile insists it was just protecting its security. so i had for you just a little later news from another middle eastern country where the wounds of the arab spring remain open and on healt. libya's questionable headway towards

democracy and real sonder a crushing blow protestors 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 but will they succeed in making teheran abandon its nuclear ambitions and out a few minutes right here on our team. the u.k. has found another way to snoop into its citizens is affairs internet phone companies are set to install so-called black boxes which will monitor e-mails social networking activity and calls and store data for a year and the authorities insist that only limited details will be kept but activists are raising privacy concerns artists are a fourth explains. well the home office will tell you that they need this as a vital tool in order to catch criminals and as criminals become more

technologically advanced so must they but you've got to really look at what they're trying to justify here because this is going to affect absolutely everyone in the k.n. it's going to be your phone calls it's going to be your internet searches is going to be who you are taking to your e-mailing even your facebook all this data is set to be stored in black boxes which if the lord is part of the government would be able to access and snoop on our private information whenever they want now this is part of the draft bill the communications data bill the government is saying they need to it's being nicknamed the sneakers charter was the home of the save that they're not going to actually be storing the contents of that information this information that would be kept in these like boxes would be kept for up to a year and those tech experts that we've been speaking to has said that they you know they would be able very easily to access the content of that and of course

that causes a huge concern amongst the british population rule ready living in an age and certainly in the u.k. where we're monitored every single day by millions of c.c.t.v. cameras we've got facial recognition time and again in surveys the u.k. ranks right up there at the very top of the surveillance society we've been speaking to some of the people online and on our twitter and asking them what they think about this latest measure people are very very unhappy about these proposals we have one person saying that sounds very sinister i don't like it one invests in another person on twitter who responded said it reminds us of a u.s. air t.v. series that was about the same sort of surveillance system well they do say the real life is stranger than fiction sometimes you put it all sounds a bit all well and doesn't having this sort of to tell a terror in state the mass surveillance is justified in terms of the greater good was big brother might not be watching us the u.k. government could be set to in the near future. all right it's nine minutes past the

hour and the e.u. embargo of iranian oil is now in place along with fresh u.s. sanctions against countries dealing with iran the measures are aimed at pressurizing iran to curb its nuclear program islamic republics it's been stockpiling money as a buffer and that selling oil remains no problem thanks to america exempting some countries from penalties including china and singapore author and journalist option written see 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 chilling because of course the u.s. has examined china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these you have to all sanctions are outrageous and wrong johnnie's oil imports crude oil imports from iran rose twenty 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 is the great economic crisis in europe is causing havoc increase oil prices certainly going to make not only the euro but european problem to suffer so this isn't going to help the world economy and it's certainly not having any impact on the road still to come this hour four years on since washington has launched a marketing campaign promoting brand usa all over the world will investigate whether president obama's plan could succeed in attracting more visitors from the marching economies and create new jobs in his own country. than europe's largest city just got two times bigger in size and former president jimmy to meet video proposal to expand moscow's boundaries has been put into place we have the details in just a few minutes. scores of armed men seeking

autonomy for libya has been a house rated the city's selectorial commission office trashing equipment and causing extensive damage that happened just days before the country's first general elections since the fall of gadhafi in the central city says the attack shows just how far libya actually is 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 would lead to. a healthy democracy will be taking place are absent so what we have is that is the relative persecution of women's right 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 and by but by dint of the pigmentation of this skin to gadhafi we have interest or i will war for a 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 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 a u.s. senator has renewed calls for julian assange to be prosecuted for espionage australian media reports that u.s. senate intelligence committee had dianne feinstein has reiterated that the whistleblower has compromised america's security just currently hold up and i quote doris and to c.n.n. london waiting for a decision on his asylum meanwhile the last episode of this talk show is set to air here on our key this time malaysian opposition leader anwar ibrahim he tells the whistleblower about his fight for freedom at home and what he sees as the hypocrisy of some western leaders. you want to do something. you must not be caught up.

in yes to work in of course polity is the art of compromise i'm not seeing that you know you're like a political philosopher dictating issues but this at the ground groups you have to accept it don't you know i mean. for democracy you become a western. when we talk about market can only you become. agent but you know these things i mean one of the. you have it now there will be with you you know it's going to happen of the. but i think you know people you know the problem with authority and indeed. even the leaders in the west including destroy islam or for these. we are against them this. policy of the states i mean i do. sense that the. ascribe to the

idea of this this nation split or the american revolution or differs saudi an idea or the habits of the heart the talk of you talked about the dog and that is our concert. you can watch last episode of joy in a sanctions interview show right here on our team on tuesday eleven thirty g.m.t. now course you can watch our previous episodes at a sound started. back in two thousand and president obama put tourism. economy. random air ha ha ha ha. ha in the charts market out of a slump with june yet another week month for the struggling u.s. economy very important i 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 kept business booming and prices from dropping international visitor are they're great shoppers and they spend a tremendous amount of money there brazilians spend a tremendous amount of money many europeans the chinese spend a lot of money george is the c.e.o. of n.y.c. and company an organization that markets the big apple around the globe he also serves as marketing vice chairman for brand usa every eighty five visitors foreign visitors it comes to the united states you creates one john. and because we have so many different visitors you know we have over ten million international visitors in two thousand and eleven and now we have well over three hundred twenty five thousand jobs in the hospitality and travel and tourism industry so it's

a huge boon to the economy but some argue quantity may not equate to quality it does tend to create fairly low paid service industry jobs that doesn't tend to create great jobs having people in the business of manufacturing or high end services no medical services business services tends to create much higher quality or paid jobs than tourism which tends to create 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. there are always more stories waiting for you at r.t. dot com here's a quick peek of what we have. 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 hub for unmanned aerial vehicles. time now for a brief look at some other stories making headlines across the globe it has been confirmed that three nato soldiers killed in southern afghanistan by a man wearing a local police uniform were british the attacker was injured and later arrested it brings the number of foreign troops killed this month to thirty nine meaning death toll of two hundred fifteen so far this year the attack comes ahead of the handover which will see control of the country pass from nato to afghan security forces in twenty fourteen. hundreds of protesters have demonstrated in japan

over the country's first restart of a nuclear plant since the crisis at fukushima last year the move was ordered last month as the prime minister said economic and living standards couldn't be maintained without atomic energy the country shut down all its nuclear plants after a meltdown at the fukushima plant triggered by last year's tsunami and earthquake. so one thousand people have been killed with over forty wounded in simultaneous attacks on two churches in northeast kenya massed assailants launched gun and grenade raids the worst in the country since it sent troops into somalia to pursue militants since then as law must have been blamed for a string of blast across kenya though they've never admitted to the violence in the country. in mexico the luminary results show the opposition candidate and wreak. has won the country's presidential election his victory means the return to

power of the institutional revolutionary party which has had less friendly relations with the us and the party which has ruled mexico for the past twelve years the winners party had previously enjoyed seven decades in power but had gained a reputation for widespread corruption toral fraud and offer tearing rule. boundaries of the russian capital have been officially extended to the southwest as promised meaning the city has now more than doubled in area peter oliver looks into what the expansion means for muscovites and for those who have now been made city dwellers after the move. 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 moscow 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 sensor 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 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. fifty years i've been living here for the village and we got used to our family life. it's going to change is going come immediately but i think we'll see development take place quickly in our area and now that we're part of the city there will be more than we're goes i think it's positive i'm all for the project i think it will be profitable this will create a new more school with me for him to deal with and 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 shoot to be plenty more construction work to be carried out these are all over r.t. moscow. across a lot of the business just natasha our equity markets extending last week's rally it looks like they are and fact at the moment what we're seeing in europe as that it is trading higher mainly thanks to the banking sector let's take a quick look at the actual figures and as you can see the footsie is now gaining three quarters of a percent mainly thanks to banks being higher as i said in london barclays is gaining on the news that as chairman the world presided over the benchmark interest rates scandal and although the good news coming from europe namely about the european union leaders agreeing on some measures to help the euro zone out of the current banking crisis certainly driving the stock market higher it's not helping

the european currency as you can see it's losing value at the moment against the u.s. dollar the russian ruble is also shedding value against the dollar but is gaining against the european currency and now on to the russian stock market where as you can see the picture looks quite robust and fact the myself has managed to gain more than one percent trading above the psychologically important level of fourteen hundred. points some of the biggest movers on the my sex include in the financial sector is very bank as you can see it's gaining more than a quarter percent all groups the diamond producer is shedding value and that's despite the reporting its net profit doubling last year and the basha nafta is also in the red after the company said it will invest one hundred twenty million dollars into its first international project namely an oil field and iraq and now on to crude one of the biggest indicator of the health of these russian stock

market and as you can see it's actually down this afternoon at the moment a light sweet is trading bull eighty four dollars a barrel and that's after a big rally last friday as fast as saw one of the biggest daily jumps in more than three years apparently some see that as a profit taking opportunity and now staying with the oil sector b.p. has given up on the idea of joining the nord stream russia's subs to europe last week gals from said the british companies interested in extending that old stream pipeline to britain but commerce on daily reports the russian shareholders of t.m.p. b.p. insist the move should be done through the russian joint venture and that's not something that he wants to do at the moment last year blocked the british companies deal with rosneft saying it violated a shareholder agreement to exclusively represent b.p.

and russia. and that's all we have for you from the business desk this hour i'll be back in about fifteen minutes see them all right we look forward to it. with a recap of the headlines after a short break. well

for the finance technology innovation all these developments from around russia we've got the few jerks covered. it's. history claims the process is perfectly. safe seems say that brings nothing but. the environment knows better and the industry isn't telling the whole story.

they're here to. me he. says.
