they brought foreign terrorists from outside and money it was a conspiracy from the first day. of the against observations while foreign countries are financing and supporting the rebels but it seems that no matter how much international game playing there raise 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. syria's opposition has been poring over the latest geneva proposals the arab league is hosting the gathering in cairo i'm calling on the groups to put the syrian people above the factional rials one former syrian

8:07 am
liberty alarm bells already ringing over the government's hunger for license to listen in here's our london correspondent there for it. 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 is going to be your internet searches is going to be to your texting to your e-mailing even your facebook all this data is set to be stored in black boxes which is the lord's pass 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 as 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 at this information
8:08 am
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 contents of that and of course that causes a huge concern amongst the british population were already living in an age and certainly in the u.k. where we're monitored every single day by millions as c.c.t.v. cameras we've got facial recognition time and again in surveys the u.k. ranks right up there 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 if i don't like it one veteran 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 and of course it all sounds

8:10 am
a rogue guy just be employees rogue government officials or just hackers breaking into the atmosphere and stealing all of this personal information you know on the internet as it is you know a lot of personal information moves through bitterman but it's not all kept in one place by having these computers store it all there creating a huge target for criminals. so i have for you this hour why america's looking abroad to keep the cash registers ringing. part of what you're seeing is i'm looking for a place the week i pushed down american middle class with folks from other parts of world where the economy is going better and wages are growing whether public or out of pocket or washington is pushing to tap the tories to fill the coffers. and do we explain why moscow's broadening its arises and swelling to more than double its sides. and what is a story about the boundary changes is that as much as this is most go no so is here as well. the u.s.

8:17 am
services you know medical services business services tends to create much higher quality or paid jobs and tourism which tends to create a large 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 now to some other news making headlines around the world a man dressed in police uniform has opened fire in southern afghanistan killing three british troops the shooting happened at a checkpoint in helmand province where the soldiers were tending a meeting of tribal elders the gunmen was injured and later detained four hundred twenty two british soldiers have died in afghanistan since two thousand and one. the biggest palestinian crackdown on illegal weapons in five years has been to the

8:20 am
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 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. most those boundaries are broadening out to the city's officially more than doubled in size. of a explains why and what it means for the people of the russian capital. it was always one of europe's largest cities and now moscow has gotten even bigger from the first of july a huge chunk of what had been the moscow region has now been 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
8:21 am
a half times covering an area roughly the size of a quarter of a million football pitches but the idea 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 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
8:22 am
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 i think is bad for a village and we got used to a family life and its name changes lincoln immediately victory think we. pre-screen now that we. do in the middle of august 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 the money to him a real one so in 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 piece for all of r.t.
