syria's opposition rejects a new peace deal to merge with the government because it doesn't bother president assad from the transition. days ahead so bridges internet freedom as the ministers malo brainstorming black boxes which would stall people's private calls and chats and messages. and calls in the u.s. to prosecute the world's most famous whistle blow up a spying ahead of julian assange just final talk show airing here on r.g.p. .

live from moscow you're watching r t with me with say syria's rebels have rebuffed the latest plan for peace or a pause push for unity government at talks in geneva at the weekend but the opposition insists assad has to go the deal was forced to try and end the drawn out conflict to which the u.n. says claimed more than ten thousand lives his artie's maria. the geneva peace proposal was the latest attempt to reconcile the divided sides in the syrian conflict with a unity government but that hope was already 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 homebase a position is less direct though some still warn it's too late for dialogue the

unanswered party boycotted may's 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 again only those who really want dialogue should be thought of as legitimate opposition and who that there's a will the geopolitical interests of big regional players out there 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 point past

first 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. galula 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 peace is possible but that can be done quickly too much money has been spent and too many parties are 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. stubs of iowans well foreign countries. 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 syria's opposition has been pouring over the latest geneva proposals the arab league is hosting the gathering in cairo calling on the group to put the syrian people about their factional roles one former syrian government

advisor told me that the rebels are in the no fit state to negotiate properly with the authorities. the opposition is very much for advantage if there is an opposition that is very much for granted this means that it cannot conduct this four day little with your one people just your position it would be more unified than the musical sort you would be born. now of course in syria there is this outside opposition that is meeting in cairo together with some in turn that will position but then we have on the ground in syria that are not related neither to the syrian national council neither to do you look at opposition groups these are present difficulties for any peaceful solution in syria but i suppose that one the government and the opposition can boss work hand in hand they will be able to pacify syria they. do have. security returned to syria.

online real well cross the global attempts to end serious conflict also at r.t. dot com for the fallout from the arab revolt the war crimes court calls for mamma that after his son's lawyers to be released after their arrest in libya we explained that r.t. dot com. plus the questions over the three major u.s. credit rating agencies as an investigation into the air method say its launch following the downgrade of fifteen global banks that last month. britain is on the verge of a web why do big brother with internet and phone providers are reading black boxes to monitor private emails or social network chats and even calls the legislation still in debate but the liberty alarm bells are already ringing over the

government's hunger for a license to listen in here's a london correspondent sara for. with millions the c.c.t.v. cameras monitoring our every move with fingerprinting and facial recognition many people in britain feel that their privacy is being slowly eroded that we're turning into an oh well in states where all armies are monitored the big brother is always watching well who knows about big brother but the u.k. government looks like it could be thirty in the near future to be revealed for the black boxes which will be monitoring all our emails our telephone calls what we're searching for online even our twitter and facebook accounts other black boxes that hold the states up to a year and allow the government access to it when they were conducting an investigation the government say is a vital tool in catching criminals as they become more technologically advanced but those opposed to it say that it would simply harm innocent people preaching the

rights and they should be able to throw into our private conversation mystery's. touch a few people. for most of it but probably just going to ignore most or most if this passes into law is such a make person the most intrusive surveillance regime in the west many people are calling this an internet war saying that all government m.p.'s passing legislation to do with new connected to still ages simply making too many mistakes that there's a disconnect here and that these m.p.'s don't understand the need to worlds and that's having some quite severe consequences but one of the more sinister consequences of this we can see is the case which they deployed the twenty four year old university student he faces up to ten years in a u.s. prison allegations of copyright offenses related to his u.k. website t.v. shack i don't know now the home office definition for his extradition to this

public opposition in fact with a p.d.f. file. and that jimmy wales launched recently an online petition to try and block the sex addition going ahead it's already received in just a week more than two hundred thousand people signing on to that it's things in the internet well the u.k. public by saying back in indeed we're told that we need to if we don't want severe avoid being caught in the case ever widening that it could be set to make criminals of us all internet activists aaron says that as well as giving the authorities access to users personal information the black boxes will become an easy target for criminals this is almost literally orwellian under the plan as it's been described the government will have boxes crippling everyone's private emails and web surfing and forcing 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 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 this is going to make it one more secure given that it's easy to imagine it's either a rogue going to be employees rogue government officials or just hackers and say we're breaking into the area using all of this personal information you know on the internet as it is now a lot of personal information moves through the internet but it's not kept in one place by having these computers store it all they're creating a huge target for criminals. still ahead for you this hour why america's looking abroad to keep the castle registers ringing. part of what you're seeing is them looking for a place to we push down america's middle class with folks from other parts the world where the economy is growing better and wages are growing whether public or out of the pockets of washington's pushing to have the tories to fill the coffers.

and to explain why moscow's a broadening its horizons and swelling to more than double its size. and what is a story about the boundary changes is that as much as this is moscow no so is here as well. the u.s. justice department has confirmed that weeki leaks remains the target of a criminal investigation it comes as the head of the us senate intelligence committee said that the website's editor julian assange should be prosecuted for espionage a son just currently staying at ecuador's embassy in london waiting for a decision on his political asylum bit is laura smith reports. sanchez always maintained that what he fears the most is being extradited from sweden to america to face these charges of espionage and evidence is mounting with these renewed calls that we've heard this weekend from the head of the us senate intelligence oversight committee she joins these calls for us to be prosecuted for espionage she

says she's senator dianne feinstein and she said that knowingly obtained and disseminated information which could cause injury to the u.s. has caused serious harm to national security and should be prosecuted accordingly she said that he shouldn't be protected by the first amendment which of course which of course protects free speech and is enshrined in the constitution he says he calls himself a journalist but he is no journalist he's an agitator intent on damaging the u.s. government we are hearing mixed messages coming out of the u.s. that possibly a little bit confused about what they want themselves as late as last week the u.s. foreign minister bob carr did noids in quotes to remove evidence that there was a u.s. intention to prosecute julian but almost on the same day the u.s. justice department again confirmed there was a continued investigation into wiki leaks this could sway ecuador

which of course is what has always wanted created a good relationship with the president of ecuador and it's believed that that relationship started when he interviewed him for his show which is currently forecasting on r.t. the final episode of that show broadcast here on r.t. on tuesday and this week's installment is an interview with the leader of the malaysian opposition. he talked a lot about his vision for malaysia going forward but also about the problem of islamophobia all over the world in leadership you want to do something. you must not be quite up. for democracy. when we talk about my. agent but you know these things. you have known the moment you know is going to happen of the. you know the problem

with authority in the. times even the leaders in the west including destroy islam or for this. we against this unilateral policy of the state i mean i do. sense. ascribe to the idea of this initial split of the american revolution or you can watch that whole program of course on r.t. on cheese day starting at eleven thirty g.m.t. it's the last episode in the interview program so don't miss it millions or maybe unemployed in the united states about washington has a plan to boost jobs with foreigners held overseas visitors have cash to spend in america one third more in a part their reports and a campaign to promote a brand usa. 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 is moving 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 who creates one job. and because we have so many different visitors you know we have over ten million international visitors in twenty 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 be quite 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 and services no medical services business services tends to create much higher quality or paid jobs than tourism which to answer 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 uniform has opened fire in southern afghanistan killing three british troops the shooting happened at

a checkpoint in helmand province where the soldiers were attending 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 seen two hundred people arrested including security officers the round up was sparked by a shooting attack on a governor's house in may the campaign is targeting alleged gunmen going to palestinian president mahmoud abbas where tom movement around a hundred people have since been relieved for surrendering their weapons. but chairman of britain's the third largest bank has quit its interest rate fixing that saw homeowners and business over charge for loans during the credit crunch micah's ageas is that leaving after regulators slept a four hundred fifty three million dollars fine and barclays for skewing the rate which banks lend to each other other major british banks are also being

investigated. they you embargoed of iranian oil has come into effect along with fresh u.s. sanctions against countries dealing with to run the measures i aimed at putting pressure on iran over its nuclear activities but it iran says it's still selling oil thanks to america extending waivers to several countries including china and singapore iran has stockpiled money and imported goods and to reduce the chances of the embargo hitting the oil and banking sectors author and journalist afshin rattansi 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 most notably china because of course the u.s. has exam to china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these unilateral sanctions are outrageous and wrong johnnie's oil imports

crude oil imports from iran rose five percent back to two thousand and eleven levels it seems absurd that the united states presumably again lobbied by israel which is 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 iran. moscow's boundaries are broadening out the city is officially more than doubled in size. of 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 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 back 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 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. fifty years i've been living here i think it's bad for a village and we got used to our farming launch. it's going to change is going come immediately because i think we'll see development take place cricket in our area and now that we're currently the city doing remove them we're going to 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 to give you one 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 of a r.t. moscow. dimitris next year with the business news and in the spotlight today a cause of b.p. changing its mind about teaming up with gazprom what's that about that's absolutely right b.p. has basically given up the idea of joining gas problem in extending nord stream russia's gas pipeline link to europe basically extending it to great britain last week we got reports that gazprom said that the british companies interested in joining this project but the russian shareholders of b.p. insisted that the move should be done through the russian joint venture fruit and that's something that b.p. does not want to do now to discuss this i'm joined by constantine seaman off the head of the national energy security fund constantin very good to see you so if north stream is an overseas project then basically b.p.

can go ahead if i understand correctly and join gazprom but why has it decided not to do that. you know it's not an easy question because this call into this agreement between b.p. and they are going to close on is not bubbling is not transparent that is why we see a lot of discussions between two companies for example. that it's impossible to sell fifty percent and then. god beefier other possible pot and let it be a sink in that it is possible to sail through to the sound of the company but not. the same story it is about this agreement because guest room is russian company and maybe maybe according to this agreement is that it does break even the four b. who failed. to have good curation was another russian company you want us speaking about with the world present so that is why i think the b.p. it is afraid that i can so some can go to the court and also use this case these

guys pro. bowl is the b.p. has already failed as we all remember to team up with ross never why is it going ahead and basically moving in the same direction now with gas from the why is it so interested in creating a new partnership in russia. you know full b p rashi's extremely important council and the extremely important part not when all the bronx wants to go to so the percent of the income of global company b. is coming from russia so russia is extremely important to us because of our jobs to be in business russia is extremely important they were speaking about rubys also be counted and that is why it could be rationed was going strong is also good about doing before be to increase the presence on the pound when you own the global guess my could because you know now old be all major us they are preparing to be global guest major and its the jewel sale the facts of mobile also which is that there

will be feet that his wife will be is exceedingly important the sink about to get the ration with the biggest gas company in the world but no matter if b.p. joins or does not join gazprom in extending the north stream pipeline what do you make of this whole concept do just this gas from actually need to do this to extend north stream to great britain is this a feasible project. is an interesting question because you know for. one point the one from one point that we always see very serious can be the shin i guess but the u.s. is now on european guest michael and from these point though you maybe we can say that there is no need to build new infrastructure there is no no need to build the salt station or floor steam and maybe there is no need to build for pipes of southeastern but from another point though we must understand that we really don't know what will be the fuel shelf european guess michael for example after five years later and of it now there are no realistic forecasts and old produces all

forecasts they are on fortune to allow in the way the best situation because we have no release of information about the future guess michael so that is why. in five years i think we can see as with the different situation on european markets and especially in the mike of the great britain and it's an interesting story of the u.s. speaking about for example the position of gas from the south by the fuel of the east by the fuel we see some decline for export from russia to these areas but they were speaking about the presence of the strong only united in the market in great britain we see the reason i think there is no consumption of gas from strong growth so that is why we see that it's possible to increase share of best brought on the market of great britain maybe it's better to build all of the connected between germany and great britain but it's possible to think about put in prison

a friend still going strong on this michael right constantine thank you so much running short on time that was a consenting seaman of the head of the end of national energy security fund talking to us live and that's all we really have time for this i will be back in fifteen minutes to bring you an update well thanks for that dimitri and i'll be back with a recap of our the main headlines awful short break stay with us. the.

there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum physical impact possible. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something on. the. line in russia would be so much brighter than if you knew about someone.
