syria's opposition rejects a new peace deal to merge with the government because it doesn't bother president assad from the transition. dark days ahead for britain's internet freedom as ministers mull over installing black boxes which would stall people's private calls chats and messages. and fresh calls in the u.s. to prosecute the world's most famous a whistleblower post by julian assange just final talk show airing here on r.t. .

live from moscow you're watching r t with me tom would say syrian rebels have rebuffed the latest plan for peace world powers push for unity government at talks in geneva at the weekend but the opposition and says the us side has to go the deal was forced to try and end the drawn out conflict which the u.n. says has claimed more than ten thousand lives has artie's maria. being 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 this eerie national council s. and c. 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 assad 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 un

and sort of 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 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 is that it's a battle of wills the geopolitical interests of big regional players but we're sure to see more games being played to sabotage the peace efforts. the syrian people we spoke to welcomes 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 wanted but we cannot understand what the opposition wants apart from assad to go what else. simulink 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 the covert and open support of nations who demand regime change and backed 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 no 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 on their side of course worried the 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. who can stop the violence while foreign countries are financing and supporting the rebels but it seems that no matter how much international game playing they raise it will be syrians themselves who bear the brunt of 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. or even optional r.t. from damascus and syria. syria's opposition has been poring over the nation's geneva proposals the arab league is hosting the gathering in cairo i'm calling on the groups but the syrian people up off the facts now rouse times correspondent

pepe escobar says that the geneva peace efforts were just talk because the rebels and their back has only one drinking change and they are unable to lay down arms. strong at best 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 so what is being discussed in geneva he's also bound to say it's for show it's to tell these international community which is a few nato countries the u.s. israel. and always lead the russians and the chinese and the bric countries are not full by it and most of the developing world they're not aligned movement nobody sold about it what the main players foreign players want regime change in syria they have to pull all in front of the international community to so they have negotiated gland they have the discussions and it's absolutely ridiculous because

the buggers doing fights iran and saudi arabia which are both major players in the syria situation it's ridiculous. online no way across the globe will attempt to end serious conflict also at r g dot com for the fallout from the arab revolt the war crimes court all calls for once again that his son's lawyer is to be released after the arrests in libya we explained at r.t. dot com. plus the questions over the three major u.s. credit rating agencies as an investigation into their methods is launch of following the downgrade of fifteen global banks last month. britain's on the verge of

a web wide big brother with internet and phone providers readying black boxes to monitor private e-mails a social network chats and even calls the legislation is still in debate but the liberty alarm bells already ringing over the government's hunger for license to listen in here's our london correspondent there 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 we're turning into a know well ian state where all armies and monitors the big brother is always watching the news about big brother but the u.k. government looks like it could be thirty in the near future plans to be revealed for black folks and who should be monitoring all our e-mails 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 it's our preacher right and they should be able to throw into our private conversation mysteries you probably judge a few people all. the most of it but probably just know most almost 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 old government m.p.'s causing legislation to do with new connected to still age is a simply making too many mistakes that there's a disconnect here and that these m.p.'s don't understand the need to two worlds and that's having some quite severe consequences but one of the more sinister consequences of this we can see is the case of richard a e d y of

a twenty four year old university student he faces up to ten years in a u.s. prison over allegations of copyright offenses related to his u.k. website t.v. shack dot net now the home office a few mission for his extradition to various public opposition if i were competing . founded jimmy wales low intrinsically an online petition to try and block the sex addition going ahead that'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 and indeed we're told that we need to if we don't want to avoid being caught in the ever widening net that could be set to make criminals of us all. internet activist sarah and so was us says that as well as giving the authorities as the seasons personal information the black boxes a 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 directing

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 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 idea of speed 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 for a government officials or just hackers breaking into the stealing 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 all kept in one place by having these computers store it all there creating a huge target for criminals. still ahead for you this hour on why america is looking abroad to keep the cash registers ringing. part of what you're seeing is

them looking to replace the weak push down america's middle class with folks from other parts of world where the economy is growing better and wages are growing where the public out of pocket and washington is pushing to tap the tourists to fill the coffers. and we explain why moscow's broadening its horizons and swelling to more than double its size. of 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 we hear leaks remains the target of a criminal investigation it comes as the head of the u.s. senate intelligence committee said the website added to julian assange should be prosecuted for espionage our son is currently staying at aqueduct embassy in london awaiting for decision on his political asylum bid artie's laura smith reports. has always maintained that what he fears the most is being extradited from sweden

on 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 arms 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. to cause 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 insurance 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 us there possibly a little bit confused about what they want themselves. last week the u.s. foreign minister bob carr did. in quotes to remove evidence that there was a u.s.

intention to prosecute but almost on the same day the u.s. justice department again confirmed there was a continued investigation into wiki leaks this could. 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. for democracy. the more you talk about market normally you become. agent but you know these things.

you have no the woman with you you know is going to happen of the. you know the problem with this awful rooted in the. dying even the leaders in the west including the strong. we against this. policy of the state i mean the. since the. scribe to the idea was this initial spirit of the american revolution 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 but washington has a plan to boost jobs with foreign help. obviously is visitors have cash to spend in america once it and maria part mary port on the 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 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 to 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 of world where the economy is growing 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 budget for the buying power of u.s. citizens customers armed with a stronger currency have kept moving and prices from dropping the 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 and 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 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 a 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 you know medical services business services tends to create much higher quality or pay jobs than tourism which to answer 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. now to some other news making headlines around the world a men address in uniform has a 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 leaders the gunmen was injured and later detained four hundred twenty two british soldiers have died in afghanistan since two thousand and one. they've been at these are two hundred arrests in the west bank in the biggest palestinian crackdown on illegal weapons in five years in an unusual move or the operation rounded up suspected gunmen linked to president abbas fatah movement which controls the region normally is such a target a jihad is insurgents and members of the rival hamas a group around a hundred people have since been released for surrendering their weapons. the chairman of britain's

a third largest bank has quit and there's over interest rate fixing that saw home owners and businesses overcharge for loans or during the credit crunch marcus agius is leaving after regulators led to a four hundred fifty three million dollars fine and barclays was skewing the raid which banks lend to each other other major british banks are also being investigated. the iranian all has come into effect along with a fresh new with sanctions against countries dealing with to run the measures are aimed at putting pressure on iran over its nuclear activities but its 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 to reduce the chances of them bubble hitting the oil in banking sectors author and journalist afshin rattansi says the sanctions are unlikely to have the desired effect. iran will we need to replace all the oil exports to

europe with their customers whether they be eleven american or most notably china because the u.s. has examined 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 twenty five percent back to two thousand and eleven levels it seems the state presumably again lobbied by israel which is to be running its foreign policy was 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. moscow's the boundaries of broadening out of 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 our 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 south west of the city and those involved in that

project will be hoping it could benefit from it out of sense some locations 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 leafy village seems a far cry from the gridlock 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. which you fifty years i've been living here i think is bad for a villager if you go east to a farming life if you think the change is going come immediately the two think

we'll see development take place quickly now. now that we pilots in this city there will be even more progress i think is positive i'm all for the project i think it will be profitable this will create a new more school for the many of you were 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 shoot to be plenty more construction work to be carried out peter all of a r.t. moscow. now dimitri's next with the business news and in the spotlight today b.p. changing its mind about teaming up with gazprom that's right it's a base or given up the idea of joining gazprom in extending nord stream the russian gas pipeline to europe to great britain basically last week gazprom said that the british company was interested in joining this project but the russian shareholders in k b p and says that the move should be done through its russian investment

vehicle now that's obviously something that b.p. does not want to do and consented siminoff the head of the national energy security fund explains the complexity of the situation. music remained between b. b. and they are going to close on these not bubbly is not transparent that is why we see a lot of discussions between two companies what example. that it's impossible to sell fifty percent then got to be other possible partner b.p. is thinking that it is possible to sell fifty percent to other company but not. the same story it is a vile disagreement. take a look at what's going on global markets and in the us we're seeing an initial decline on the dow jones about a third of a percent you can see there that says the factories gauges fallen below fifty

percent indicating a contraction and that's depressing investors slightly although the hype still lives on in europe on the results of the e.u. summit from last week the sake of what's going on there and indeed the footsies up half a percent more than one percent still seeing a lot of gains from this unexpectedly productive summit which basically put so that facilitates access to e.u. funds without the need to go with the bailout procedures over on the commodities market however we're seeing a technical correction with both nymex and brant falling around one and a half of dollars per barrel but this is as i said it's a technical correction after a huge jump that we've seen on friday basically one of the biggest jumps in three years now on the russian market there for despite the fall in the oil price we're seeing a positive movement with my six gaining almost one percent stake in to what's moving in the russian market that's notably financial shares joining in on the global

trend with the t.v. gaining three and a half percent there is down around half a percent despite a doubling of net profit last year and is down slightly a bit weaker than the market as it's said that it with joy. no rocky project where four hundred twenty million dollars of the best. china's banks became the most profitable lenders last years according to the banker magazine magazine says chinese lenders account of almost a third of the total profit in two thousand and eleven that's compared to just four percent five years ago now it's a chinese banks are breathing in the neck of the struggling european peers eating into the market share his own bank's account of forty six percent of the global profit in two thousand and seven and that figure dropped to six percent last year. all right basically fifteen minutes left on the clock for the russian markets to trade and this is how the ruble is doing it's

a losing against the dollar fifteen kovacs but it's gaining slightly versus the euro and that's in line with the with the correction that we're seeing in the price of the euro although we did see you show last week in its value against them. so as i said twenty minutes left on the clock i'll tell you at the top of the hour how the russian markets closed always a mixed bag thanks to me three. now nuclear energy is in focus tonight and to be shortly but first i'll bring you the headlines.

industry claims the process is perfectly. safe sees its costs that brings nothing but clean power and comfort but the environment knows better and the industry isn't telling the whole story. they're goddamn whiners. they're here to. make as much money as they can.
