moving song from phones to christian. downtown t.v. don't come. 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 for britain's internet freedom as ministers mull over installing black boxes which would store people's private calls chats and messages. press calls in the u.s. to prosecute the world's most famous whistle blow up a spy i had a video messages final talk show airing here on our team. the rally continues on the surprisingly productive summit last week and the russian markets post gains of almost one per cent in the first day of trading this week

more on this trip to be. live from moscow are you watching r t with me to say syria's rebels have rebuffed the latest plan for peace world powers push for unity government at talks in geneva at the weekend but the opposition insists that 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 a memory of. 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 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 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 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. someone like jelly almost said or 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 we the syrian people should decide what we want for ourselves we knew that already . they brought foreign terrorists from outside and money it was a conspiracy from the first day. you can stop the violence 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 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 latest geneva proposals the arab league is hosting the gathering in cairo calling of the groups to put the syrian people above the factional rouse asia times correspondent repairs cobar says of the geneva peace efforts with just talk because the rebels and their backers only one regime change. they are unable lay down their arms station because from the press two months they have been heavily weaponized by all saudi arabia and counter so just like the original kofi annan plan it was found 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 is a few major countries the us israel turkey and always lead the russians and the chinese and the bric countries are not full by it and most of the developing world will not align movement nobody is fooled about it what the main players foreign

players want regime change in syria they have to also in front of the international look to so they have a go she hadn't planned they have the discussions and it's absolutely ridiculous because the only little buggers doing fights iran and saudi arabia which are both major players in the syria situation it's ridiculous. online no way across the global at times to end serious conflict and also at our t. dot com japan goes back to nuclear energy despite the focus human disaster pledge it's restarting a reactor after shutting them all down in may of a security concerns putting last year's tragedy. plus the questions over the three major u.s. credit rating agencies as an investigation into their methods is launched following the downgrade of fifteen global banks last month.

britain is on the verge of a web wide big brother with internet and phone provider as a rating black boxes to monitor private e-mails social network chats and even calls the legislation 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 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 were turning into an oh well in states where all armies and motor to 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 repealed

for life but since bush will be monitoring all our e-mails our telephone calls what we're searching for online even our twitter and facebook accounts other black boxes that hold the state 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 rights and they should be able to throw into our private conversation mysteries to probably judge a few people all. the most of it before we just could know most or much if this passes into law is such to make a person the most intrusive surveillance regime in the west many people are calling this an internet war saying that old 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 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 age-y. of the 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 gave the mission for his extradition to various public opposition if i work a p.d.f. . and at jimmy wales low intrinsically an online petition to try and block the sex addition going had this 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 be avoid being caught in the case ever widening that it could be set to make criminals of us all internet activists sara and so on so 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 directing everyone's private emails and web surfing and forcing companies to report 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 eye of speed and it's very hard to say that this is going to make it even 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 breaking into the 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 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 why america's looking abroad to keep the cash registers ringing. part of what you're seeing is them looking to replace the weak pushdown american middle class with folks from other parts of world where the economy is growing better and wages are growing where the public out of the pockets of washington's pushing to tap the tories to fill the coffers. and we explain why moscow's broadening its horizons and swelling to more than double its size. what is astonishing 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 could make the remains the target of a criminal investigation it comes as the head of the us senate intelligence committee said the website's added to julian assange should be prosecuted for

espionage is the current you hope the bad ecuador's embassy in london waiting for a decision on his political asylum bid he's a lawyer smith reports. has 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 our sons 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 u.s. 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. but the more you talk about market konami 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. times even the leaders in the west including the strong. and we against this. policy of the state i mean i do. since. ascribe to the idea of use this initial spirit 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 said mr. millions or maybe unemployed in the united states but washington has a plan to boost up with foreigners help overseas visitors have cash to spend in america one set up ordinary port 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 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 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 kept business is booming 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 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 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 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 pay 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 they men dress in a police uniform has opened finds them stand as 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. two war crimes court lawyers are to be released after twenty six days in detention in libya they've been under house arrest visiting one of the dozen son in prison and allegedly sharing documents that libya's compromise national security. faces

trial over the deadly suppression of the protests during the libyan uprising which toppled his father but the i.c.c. is concerned he won't get a fair trial in libya. a german of britain's a third largest bank has quit over interest rate fixing the saw home owners and businesses overcharge for loans during the credit crunch marcus agius isn't leaving after regulators are slept four hundred fifty three million dollars fine on barclays for stealing the raid which banks lend to each other other major british banks are also being investigated. iranian lawmakers have reportedly drafted a bill that would closer the strait of hormuz two countries supporting. iran the strait is a vital shipping route for global trade the e.u. embargo on iranian oil came into effect yesterday and is aimed at putting pressure on iran over its nuclear activities but to run 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 the embargo hitting the oil and banking sectors of the in journalist. 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 of a customer's with a baby in latin america or most notably china because the us has examined china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these unilateral sanctions or 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 that the united states 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 iran. moscow's boundaries are broadening out the city is officially more than doubled in size to all of our reports about the big changes to the city and the life of people in 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 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 of 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 of living here i think is bad for a village and we got used to our family life if you think the changes we can immediately think we'll see development take place quickly now. now that we're parts of the city there are even workers i think it's positive i'm all for the project i think it will be profitable this will create a new more school when you were in some areas the development is already underway as you can see from the forest of apartment buildings that have been directed just behind me but over the coming years the shoot to be plenty more construction work to be carried out piece for all of r.t. moscow. dimitris next there with the business that now dimitri's o.b.b.

is not going to team up with gazprom ofter all right that's why they've abandoned the idea of joining the north stream project which was a gas pipeline linking russia with europe last week we heard gazprom saying that the british company is interested in building a new extending the existing lines of north stream to great britain but the shareholders in the russian shareholders insist that this should be done through its russian joint venture and that's something that b.p. doesn't want to do well a concern since even of the head of the national energy security fund says that the situation is indeed complicated. music remain between b. b. and they are going for some is not bob is not transparent that is why we see a lot of discussions between two companies what example. i think in that it's impossible to sell fifty percent do you think i'd be two other possible partner to

be is thinking that it is possible to sell fifty percent of the company but not. the same story it is about this agreement. or let's move over to the markets and manufacturing has moved back into contraction territory which it hasn't done over the past three years so that's pretty worrying in the us and therefore was in the dow jones and that's dr klein but quite moderately as the hype of from last week's a huge summit still remains and in europe as you can see the footsie and the dax up close to the closing bell up around one percent led by shares actually after the resignation of its c.e.o. . also china's banks became the most profitable lenders last year that's according to the bank a magazine magazine says the chinese lenders accounted for most a third of the total profit in two thousand and seven as compared to just four

percent five years ago and that's a chinese banks are breathing in the neck of these struggling european peers eating into their market share years and banks accounted for forty six percent of the global profit in two thousand and seven and i think it dropped to six percent last . second to what's going on in the commodities market in this pretty much a declining but that's more of a technical drop of to friday's big rally where we saw a jump that we haven't seen the last three years so basically nothing to worry about and indeed on the russian market we're not seeing that much of a worry on this or declining oil prices and therefore yes my six closed will within around one point one percent driving the my six were financials with d.t.b. gain. almost three percent as you can see there also our ross doing better than the market outperforming it after last year's profits more than double the bash nafta's up in line with the market after it said that it's investing hundred twenty million

dollars into iraq you will field its first international budget. and in currencies the russian ruble continued weakening against the dollar as you can see there but its strength and slightly versus the euro while the euro is a might scare the falling out of four points versus the dollar but we've seen a tremendous jump last in the last week after that a surprisingly productive e.u. summit so therefore nothing to worry about it's all technical again. thanks for that dimitri will speak to you a little bit later on on the business update. coming up shortly as the united states continues withdrawing strikes we'll look at how effective the weapon is coming up next after the headlines with me in a few minutes. well
