syria's rebels rejects a new peace deal submerge with the government has more violence is the country's central homs province and the damascus suburb got the latest. britain's blackbox big brother minister of mull over installing internet devices which would store people's private calls chats and messages. us research his mission to prosecute the world's most famous whistleblower for spying ahead of julian assange just final talk show airing here on arctic.

hello this is r.t. it's ten pm monday night here in moscow my name's kevin and it's good to have you company there are reports that syrian attack helicopters have bombarded a suburb of the capital damascus where rebel stronghold was stormed two days ago there's no word yet on casualties though. rebel groups rebuffed last week's peace proposal to for a unity government talks between will powers in geneva that deal was aimed at ending the conflict which the u.n. says has claimed more than ten thousand lives now his art his method. 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 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

their side in power as allowed in the geneva agreement homebase a position is nest 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 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 of being the only those who really want dialogue should be thought of as legitimate oppositional and who is that there'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. yes 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. i mean like jelly almost 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 course we 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. of the 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 original r.t. from damascus and syria. as well as the problems with the geneva peace process

peace proposal susan position groups are trying to overcome the road differences to a beating in cairo the arab league called on the groups to unite and put the syrian people above their own functional rives oxford university middle east academic show me no one e told me what you see violence must stop before any stability can be achieved and we really need to move away from looking at the rebels who are largely foreign backed. as the only opposition in town there is a dynamic and diverse domestic opposition and i think it's incumbent upon the media and different players to pull out these voices first the government of syria house to ensure the safety of civilians and protect infrastructure before they move on to the next stop i mean you can't rush to the second step without the first so i think there has to be a deescalation of violence inside syria before you can move on what's the point of having peace talks when there are bombs going off in various cities and civilians and soldiers getting killed we have to consider first who supporting the violence

on the ground and it's still a number of western countries and then a number of arab states particularly in the gulf countries we cannot move forward in this process until that part has been taken care of and it's it's unfortunate that iran and saudi arabia are not including the geneva talks saudi arabia is a major supporter of of arming and supporting the militias inside syria this process and the rhetoric behind it that comes largely from the last house to be unraveled before moving forward. online recross the global attempts to end the serious conflict you want to get up to date on the latest check out r.t. dot com what is there to japan going back to nuclear energy despite the fukushima disaster pledge it's not restarted one of its reactors after shutting them all down in may over security concerns after last year's tragedy. and questions over the three major u.s. credit rating agencies says an investigation into the methods is moved forward with greater fifty global banks last month. britain is on the verge of

a where wide big brother with internet and phone providers readying black boxes to monitor private e-mails social network chats and even calls now this legislation still in debate but the liberty bells are already ringing over the government's hunger for a license to listen and there's a london correspondent sara. 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 of motor to the big brother is always watching we'll hear 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 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 it's our. right that they should be able to throw into our private conversation mr tools to probably judge a few people all. the most of it before we just know most almost 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 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 wired a twenty four year old university student he faces up to ten years is in a u.s. prison over allegations of copyright offenses related to his u.k. website t.v. shack dot net now the theme of this day for mission for his extradition to this public opposition is that with a p.d.f. . and it jimmy wales launched recently an online petition to try and block the sex addition going ahead and it's already received in just a week more than two hundred thousand people signing on to that it seems in the internet war the u.k. public by sitting back and indeed we're told that we need to if we don't want to be avoid being caught in the ever widening net that could be set to make criminals of us a. way to get the. look from the open rights group says that if passed the law will put british people sensed information at risk from online fraud. this is

sort of really exposing all kinds of things from potentially journalists sources through government whistleblowers to people talking to lawyers even business people trying to do business deals quietly before they make them public a lot of these things will be in the database ready for the police to get ahold of will find out about the bottom line is if you collect all of this information in one place and then create a sort of secret somewhat protected door for law enforcement to go and view the data and to make queries then you set backdoor up to be broken into and to find all the information for absolutely anybody on the internet and that means that they're going to be a lot of people from government through to criminal gangs who are starting things well you know this this could be really really useful to us you know why don't we have a go at it so you know you can set up as many security measures and you claim that you're going to put on all kinds of safeguards the bottom of. the government is

creating a massive risk for every citizen and business in the country. still ahead for this paying the price for helping your neighbors europe's new five hundred billion bailout fund the buffers as angry germans demand to know why they're digging deep for other countries debts but no return. the u.s. justice department confirmed that wiki leaks remains the target of a criminal investigation it comes as the head of the u.s. senate intelligence committee said the website editor julian assange should be prosecuted for espionage assigned just currently hold up at ecuador's embassy in london waiting for a decision about his political asylum bid is laura smith brings you up to date. 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 ourselves 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 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 the removed 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 broadcasting 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. yes there's too much more you talk about my. 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. you

know the problem with this awful rooted in leaders and. even the leaders in the west including this. we against this. policy of the state i mean i do. since the. scribe to the idea was this is the 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 also be streaming online as well if you know your t.v. europe's you five hundred billion euro bailout fund could get stuck at the starting blocks with germany's highest court looking into whether it's even legal the country's parliament approved the european stability mechanism and the e.u. stuff a budget rules on friday but opponents say they contradict german law political risk consultant john holzman told me the ear same as yet another example of chancellor merkel going back on her word. the problem with the whole process is

that mrs americal says something will never happen and then three weeks later it happens and she's dragged kicking and screaming into doing it that's the worst of both worlds meaning she's never getting ahead of this she's never comprehensively solving the problem she's only being dragged by circumstances to continually go back on what she said which of course is the worst possible outcome it leaves people against giving anybody angry and it leaves the debtor countries angry which i mean is really amazingly enough frankly she needs to move faster than the glacial pace of the twenty european markets can move money and with a flick of a keyboard millions of dollars so she know she has to go faster but if she goes too fast there isn't due process meaning there isn't time to deliberate over this in parliament and there isn't time then he will review in the courts so if she does move too fast she loses the very democratic legitimacy which is vital if she's going to bring germany along with her so she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. libby is chaotic road to democracy so i protest to storm the national

election commission on sunday burning materials and smushing computer equipment now with the polls supposed to open in less than a week as to what kind of vote is going to be cases from the online spike and i can see who's been watching closely what's going on in libya since long before the gadhafi uprising began patrick good to see you tonight thanks being with us in the radio was talking about there was not the only one the bit rates on polling stations throughout the country yet the national transitional council says no less saturday's election will go ahead all those elections in danger they stage that does by the question doesn't it. i think it does indeed yes and i think the striking thing is that the national transitional council really don't have any control of the militias really because of anyone to police these elections so it's a very easy easily splinter off into chaos you already see large sections of the country particular in the east calling for boycotts of these elections the thing i find really striking about this should be a monumental event on saturday july the seventh twenty twelve will be the first

elections since nine hundred sixty four in libya it should be in historic occasion but because of the interference of the west basically handed over the administration of these elections to a national transitional council which do not reflect the will of the libyan people it means affectively people do not know i mean they don't know who they're voting for there's little campaigning going on at the moment there's a lot of militias still exerting force but libya is in the state of chaos at the moment and these elections unfortunately things are being handed to the libyan people from outside rather than something that they fought for in a struggle to bring about democracy in their own country and it's the western intervention that's really interrupted that process of bringing about a democratic election that we could really celebrate and historic moment and if those libyan citizens do go to the polls at the weekend what sort of the security will be provided for them. well i mean just say i mean it's

a positive note eighty three percent of libyans who are eligible to vote which is over three million have registered to vote but in terms of the security as i said it's very hard to tell especially in the south and egypt in eastern regions that there are already claims that there are going to be many more protests people are very unhappy with julio especially in benghazi which is where the uprising started last year where this great move towards democracy actually started you see the greatest discontent with the national transitional council now in terms of potential violence i mean that's hard to tell only recently in tripoli in the main cities it has been relatively peaceful but it can be a very much a tinderbox and there's talk in benghazi already as of a second revolution taking place or a second uprising because they're very unhappy with the way in which this election is being administered there are two hundred suits very little for the council only

sixty have been given to the eastern region and they feel very hard done by galaxy and in the old kind of city region of siren i should. say they've tried to declare independence or spoken about anywhere that this is that much rings of a second revolution how much more of a worry is that. well i think unfortunately what we've seen now is to be respectively post gadhafi gone reverted back to the nine hundred sixty three divisions which effectively kind of which italy produced when it formed modern day libya i think the reason for that is that you've effectively got people reverting back to the tribal divisions effectively because there hasn't the struggle to bring about a post gadhafi era was interrupted by western intervention and i think that that is very problematic i mean certainly benghazi have already declared themselves pretty much as semi autonomous and whether or not the results of these elections will be

respected by councils in the east and in the self very much open for question i mean you can tell that now by by the damage that's been done to the electoral commission boxes i mean the small number of people who are doing these saying alike see the ballot papers and causing the protests at the moment but you can certainly tell that you know things could really light up and you could see very quickly. a second revolution obviously in uprising depending you look at it does worst case scenario post this election is there any reason to be cheerful the going to bright side here. i think that the reason to be cheerful is that i mean first since gadhafi we've had the national transitional council headed by mr padilla you who was cherry picked effectively by the west because they saw him as someone fit to do business with at least following the election will be in a situation where you have representatives from two hundred regions. two hundred representatives of the libyan people who will then be able to forge

a constitution and bring engage in a battle of ideas about how to actually drive the country forward and i think really the sooner the national transitional council let's go and allows the libyan people to decide their own rulers the better it's going to be messy it's going to be chaotic but the less external intervention there is in this process of forging a new libya the better and i think we can have faith in the libyan people that they want to do this we saw very inspiring kind of movements of people against gadhafi who was ruthless to them last year they can bring that about they're perfectly capable of bringing about a democratic libya by themselves i think we can be very optimistic about their ability to do that what i'm concerned about is that external intervention may hinder that further work coarsely when we see the international criminal courts get about a movie and interfere in the prosecution of saif gadhafi we could talk so much more about this in the fray times against as we're following close and we appreciate

your input patrick report of your mind magazine spike thanks. to. the radio lawmakers who drafted a bill that would close the strait of hormuz to countries supporting a wall sanctions against around the straits of vital shipping records for global trade the embargo on a rainy day all came into effect yesterday it's aimed at putting pressure on iran over its nuclear activities but turan says it's still selling oil thanks to america extending waivers to several countries including china and singapore adarand stockpiled money on imported goods to in order to buffer the impacts of the embargo . or will. news now in brief a man dressed in police uniforms opened fire in southern afghanistan it's killed three british troops the shooting happened at a checkpoint in helmand province where the soldiers were attending a meeting of tribal elders the gunman was injured and later detained four hundred twenty two british soldiers have died in afghanistan since two thousand and one. chairman of britain's largest bank has quit its over interest rate fixing that saw homeowners and businesses overcharged from mons during the credit crunch marcus

agius is leaving after regulators slapped a four hundred fifty three million dollar fine on barclays for skewing the rate which banks lend to each other other major british banks are also being investigated to well let's stay with i find this notion to me the business centered news desk tonight how low how the markets reacted to those new sanctions i was talking about just imposed against iran and of course this news out now the risk of vitally important straits of hormuz possibly being blocked well i'll be honest with you it seems that for the moment it's not really being priced in seems that you will well markets are really reacting technically to the big rally and jump in the price that we've seen last week let's take a look at the prices what they look like right now so in the dropping more than two dollars for light sweet and in case there would be worries about supply disruptions then we would of course see oil prices going going up words and that is not

happening on friday indeed we see we saw the biggest jump in three years in the oil price and ballard there's just a technical correction. now let's also take a look at how the russian markets react as a drop in the oil price and it seems that basically since this is not based on fundamental factors the markets continued their rally after friday's big rally also on the back of a very productive e.u. summit over in europe which basically facilitated access to bailout money without. going through bailout procedures and on the russian stock exchange financials were making the biggest moves up three percent of our also was up in line with the market after a reported a net profit last year more than double and gazprom as the book has been a bit weaker than the markets and that's as b.p. has given up basically its idea to tie up with the russian gas giants in the north

stream project last week gazprom said the british company is interested in extending the pipeline to britain and russian shareholders of basically insisted this move should be done through the russian joint venture and that's something b.p. does not want to do now because that didn't seem enough for the head of the national energy security fund says the situation is indeed legally complicated. music remain between b. b. and they are going for some is not public is not transparent that is why we see a lot of discussions between two companies for example. i think in that it's impossible to sell fifty percent in ten can't be other possible partner b.p. is thinking that it is possible to sell fifty percent to other companies but not. the same story it is about this agreement. now on the u.s. markets we're seeing a decline on the dow jones of around one third of

a percent this is on the back of manufacturing coming in with a contraction in the month of june of that something which has happened in the last three years and that's worrying basically increasing the risk of a recession in the united states nasdaq is feeling better about over on the european markets we are also seeing the continued high from last week for the folks in the dax gaining more than one percent and barclays in the lead in london after its chairman stepped down holding this alive. and in the currencies markets will look at it in the just a second chinese banks still have become the most profitable lenders last year that's according to the bank a magazine magazine says the chinese lend accounted for almost a third of the total profit in two thousand and eleven and that's compared to just four percent five years ago analysts say china's banks are breathing in the next of a struggling european peers eating into their market share now in the currencies market was seeing the euro dropping against the dollar but that's also

a correction after a huge jump on friday in the price of the euro went up about one point two six and the russian ruble is mixed against both currencies in line with. so i'll be back in one hour's time with one final monday update oh yes keep it up late tonight thanks to maytree all the way does nuclear fuel have a future after fukushima big question a lot of people in japan very upset about it at the moment russia's top atomic official tells us what he thinks after the headlines just a couple of moments with me.
