if you move from funds to. stocks he don't come. tonight syria's rebels project a new peace deal to merge with the government as more violence hits the country's central home province and the damascus suburb. britain's black box big brother ministers mull over installing internet devices which would store people's private calls chats and messages. from the us reasserts its mission to prosecute the world's most famous whistleblower for spying ahead of julian assange just final talk show airing here on our t.v. .

hello this is r t it's eleven pm monday night here in moscow my name's kevin zero eight and first tonight fighting is intensifying in syria while the latest global plan for peace hangs by a thread in the frame is who's going to get the weapons and how are they being used that's what the u.n. is now tackling in new york has got across this artes and us to see a church is in new york for indeed i says see what is the u.n. looking into now bring us up to date here. kevin the united the united nations human rights chief briefed security council members earlier today on the latest developments on the ground in syria pillai reiterated that both sides of the conflict are continuing receiving weapons which is adding fuel to the fire and escalating the conflict on the ground she also said that both sides have been involved in attacking civilians poli underlines that this conflict should be called called an internal armed conflict because of the involvement of armed groups and

not a civil war and importantly she has asked the security council to refer these human rights violations to the international criminal courts and something that was mentioned an important fact in earlier human rights reports but gone largely unnoticed and underlined again by polite today was that anti syrian government forces have been using children on the ground as human shields and this was all presented to the security council earlier today and of course this is the time when syria's conflicts drawing the attention of course on the international efforts in geneva to get both sides to drop their weapons and get told. absolutely this comes on the back of the geneva conference that included security council members as well as european and middle eastern leaders where a new peace plan was put in place that basically calls for the syrian people to create a transition government which would include both the current authorities as well as members of the opposition and the idea that this transitional government is that it

should be based on mutual consent and this is something that's key because if we were a member of the main sticking points between namely russia and the west and its western allies during the attempts to find a compromise on the syrian click crisis have been that the us has been calling for regime change in syria and russia said it would have none of that peace plan that was put on the t. ball previously did include a clause mentioning that assad would have to step out of the way in this new peace plan assad's positioning and placing in the conflict is left open and is left for the syrian people the authorities and the opposition to decide so this is a plan that the entire international community involved in these negotiations has now put in place we did hear kofi annan say that he holds that this transition government can be put in place and to begin working by the end of the year and we're going to have to wait and see whether or not this happens but the goal of this government would have to be the revising of the syrian constitution as well as

holding new elections on the ground early days i'm sincere about this latest initiative but. despite it being so far it doesn't seem to have brought peace and the further in syria. but that is the case kevin we're hearing many experts really say that this plan seems perfect on paper because it is a big compromise and a step forward in the for the countries that are involved in the negotiations trying to find a compromise it's also an important step forward because it sends a signal that the international community does not intend to intervene militarily or any in any other way but let the syrian people deal with this crisis on their own means using this as a roadmap and of course this is very important to send to the syrian people but unfortunately experts and the syrian people on the ground are saying that this seems like a perfect idea on paper implementing it is

a lot more complicated and for more details on the reactions on the ground and whether or not this implementation of this new peace plan is that all realistic let's now go to the report of my colleague maria was on the ground. the geneva peace proposal was the latest attempt to reconcile the divided sides in the syrian conflict with a unity government that was already fading even before the delegates in switzerland returned to. the syrian national council. and the free syrian army the political and military forces spearheading the opcw rising 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. a position is nest direct sums to warn it's too late for dialogue the un and sort of policy 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 only work if 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. no 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. to milling

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 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. of the current stops of 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 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. there even optional r.t. from damascus and syria let's go to. coming go live to beirut now and get the thoughts to talk to jim i working as a political analyst and professor at the lebanese international university dr thanks ever so much for being with us as we heard from our correspondent you know the talks keep happening the diplomacy appears to be suffering and again tonight reports of more violence across syria as the people that are suffering which side needs to budge first to bring about real change here do you think i believe the

insurgents in syria they are supported by the united states that is not keen on getting get started now. and the conflict in syria the united states is trying to establish. a coalition of islamic states starting with turkey. of course saudi arabia and now with the rise of islamised or in egypt they want to form a triangle of. islamic states that could face what they consider iranian expansionism sheer expansionism that is backed up by both. by both russia and china so we have an international struggle serialize and the mother of this international struggle. didn't want to severe his ties with iran as was

requested by the americans and that's why we see this mounting opposition to him this. rebellion that is supported financed by turkey by saudi arabia and by a partner so this is the way we should see things i believe that the russians are willing to go for a settlement over syria with the americans however it's the americans that are trying to expand violence in syria in order to topple the regime and. as they consider. we are trying to strip russia and china from an important geostrategic as you saying so many elements here so many layers were from a gas last saying that it's a very complicated pictures may take a long time she thought to try and sort this out is there any chance internally that the opposition groups are capable of speaking with one voice as we heard from the meeting in cairo do you think they can settle if they want is it so no i don't

believe so because the syrian politics has always been fragmented throughout the history the modern history of syria and it was only during the days of half of the us that we have monopolizing of power and the hands of one person and one political regime now. the fragmentation to which the syrian opposition is subject is the reflective of different political. even. different political loyalties we have groups that are loyal to turkey we have other groups that are loyal to saudi arabia others that are loyal to. tribes and central iraq so this fragmentation of the geopolitics of syria gets reflected on the political. of syria especially that of the opposition it's unlikely that we have a unified political agenda for all groups or to

a couple of things i wanted to ask you touched on the the u.s. and what it's potentially doing here just now the u.s. knows impacts those rebel arms deliveries from qatar and saudi arabia how can it be confident those weapons are getting into al qaeda is and the end of the day. well i believe that the united states has no real problem with al qaeda as long as it plays into its own interests after all the united states was able to light to al qaeda members in iraq in order to use them as a card against the government of nouri maliki this happened in the past few years they were also the ones who trained and used our clyde against the soviets and afghanistan after all we have negotiations between the americans and responded by now so i don't believe that there is a radical conflict between the two and i believe that whenever the americans can use our clyde they will do it they will do it as they did in chechnya as they did

it in other places as they did it as a pretext they can use it as a pretext to intervene for example and under the slogan of fighting terrorism so i don't believe when it comes to achieving american interests it would be an ideological or even ethical problem for them to deal with al qaeda or any other member or any other group all right thanks for your thoughts of saudi rather time the doctor working political analyst professor at the lebanese international diversity we appreciate your time. britain is on the verge of a where but why dig brother with internet and phone providers ready in black boxes now to monitor private e-mails 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 is our 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 that we're turning into an oh well in states 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 have been repealed for black folks and who should 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 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 the best tools to probably judge a few people all. the most of it but probably just going to ignore most or most 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 ages assembly 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 most sinister consequences of this we can see is the case why a twenty four year old university student he faces up to ten years in the u.s. prison allegations of copyright offenses related to his u.k. website t.v. shack dot net now the home of this day for mission for his extradition to this public opposition fight with a p.d.f. . under jimmy wales launched recently an online petition to try and block the sex

addition going ahead has already received in just a week more than two hundred thousand people signing on to that feelings in the internet while the u.k. public back and indeed we're told that we need to if we all want severe avoid being caught in the ever widening that it could be set to make criminals of us all didn't kill the open rights group told me that if passed the law will put british people sensitive information at risk from online fraud. this is sort of really exposing all kinds of things very potentially journalist sources through government whistleblowers to people talking to their 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 hold of will find out 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 there are going to be a lot of people from governments through to criminal gangs who are starting to think 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 might need is you know the government is creating a massive risk for every citizen and business in the country. still ahead here on r t with me kevin oh in paying the price for helping enable us europe's new five hundred billion euro bailout fund could hit the buffers as angry germans demand to know why they're digging deep for other countries debts but over. the next the u.s. justice department confirms 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 said it. should be prosecuted for espionage charges 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 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 ensure and 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. last week the u.s. foreign minister bob carr did. in quotes the remotest 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 good. 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. as to when we 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 is going to happen of the. you know the problem with this awful rooted in leaders. even the leaders in the west including destroy islam or for these. we against this. policy of the state i mean i do. sense that the. scribe to the idea was 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 so don't miss it you know we're showing it throughout the day it's also online as well after the first broadcast will be r.t. dot com. europe's new five hundred billion euro bailout fund could get stuck at the starting blocks with germany's highest court now looking into whether it's even legal the country's parliament approved the european stability mechanism and the e.u. tougher budget rules on friday but opponents say they contradict german law political risk consultant john holzman told me the e.s.m. is yet another example of chancellor merkel going back on a 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 the 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 and parliament and there isn't time the end of her judicial 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. libya's chaotic road to democracy so protesters stormed the national election commission on sunday burning materials and smashing computer equipment now with the polls supposed to open in less than a week let's talk about what kind of vote is going to be patrick hayes from the online spiked magazine told me west interventions left chaos in libya. 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 in particular in the east calling for a boycott of these elections july the seventh twenty twelve will be the first elections since ninety four in libya it should be an 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 effectively 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 in libya is in the state of chaos at the moment and these elections unfortunately i think i've been 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. let's talk business now twenty

four minutes past eleven at night moscow time or so the markets reacting indeed to the new sanctions against iran and the risk of the vitally important strait of hormuz being blocked dimitris on top of all this business center news there what is the update well you know one thousand nine hundred eighty on the eve of the islamist revolution in the run or oil prices jumped three fold today they're pretty much apathetic about what's going on in iran if we just take a look at the prices that we're seeing right now they're basically coming down not going up which would be the logical thing to do actually if we're talking about supply disruptions but right now they're coming down of one dollar thirty three cents for light sweet crude and that's on the back of bad macro economic data in the u.s. we'll talk about that in just a few moments first of all let's move to the russian markets to see how they closed on the first day of the week and that was a pretty good session. on the rally from friday on the back of

a very successful e.u. summit which came out to be more productive than was expected and therefore despite the fact that group prices are falling russian markets are still jumping on the bandwagon on the year of my six so we're seeing the financials leading the gains will be to be up almost three percent of the diamond producer was in line with the market after reporting net profit more than double in the previous year and gazprom was a bit weaker than market up one percent and that's as bt has pretty much given up the idea of teaming up with gazprom in the north stream project which is a pipeline connecting russia with europe and last week gazprom said the british company is interested in extending the north stream pipeline to britain but russian shareholders of ten k b p called. they insisted the move should be done through the russian joint venture yet again and that's something b.p. does not want to do well because i did see one of the head of the national energy security plan said the situation is indeed legally complex. this agreement between

b.p. and it hearkens also means not bob is not transparent that is why we see a lot of discussions between two companies for example. i sink and that is impossible to sell thanks to the sound then got the feel of the possible bottom up b.p. is thinking that it is possible to sail through to the sound of the company but not . the same story it is a vile disagreement. as i said in the united states we've had a batch of negative macro economic data and that's on manufacturing that has contracted in the month of june something we have not seen since mid two thousand and nine and therefore the dow jones is pressured moderately down point four percent nasdaq however those of territories are really still seeing the continuation of that rally from last week on the e.u. summit second to what's going on in europe and the markets they're up more than one

percent one percent in the quarter actually that's as basically. after that e.u. summit the process of gaining access to bailout money now does not necessarily of quite bail out so that's a very positive mood over here in europe and we're seeing also barclays leading the gains in london after its chairman stepped down following that libel scandal we've been talking about and on the currency is market we're seeing the euro dropping well you would say on a normal day massively versus the dollar but given the huge jump we saw on friday this is basically a technical correction and russia's ruble is pretty much in line with the global trend weakening against the dollar and gaining against it. that's the way the business looks on a monday here in the moscow to join my colleagues eight twenty am moscow time on tuesday oh yes never miss in the business thanks for that catch up it's more than i

guess now coming up shortly tonight as the united states continues with drone strikes we look again take a close hard look at where the really effective so off the headlines and should next here in r.t. . culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money maintaining it is a show me even a lot of people are hearing the use of unmanned drone attacks has surged during the obama presidency proponents of this weapon claim to be

a precise say for american. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we thought. we wanted to present. something else.
