the british prime minister is slammed by athens after he proposes blocking greeks and people from weaker euro zone nations from entering the u.k. . been through jeff britain should be looking through their own banking scandal before you pull through judgement on all the moves remain in london in just a moment. as violence in syria boils and despite the best efforts of peace makers it's a lack of food and soaring prices that's taking its toll on people who haven't even taken sides in the conflict. and europeans are hailing their parliament's decision to reject the controversial anti-piracy act which has been slammed for violating internet freedom.

thank you for joining r t where we bring you the latest news twenty four hours a day seven days a week well athens has lashed out against the british prime minister over his remarks the u.k. could restrict the greeks from and during the country they move could also target citizens of other struggling euro zone nations but athens said london should be looking closer to home to solve its own financial trouble let's now talk live to our tease laura smith laura what is cameron trying to achieve here. well that's the sixty four thousand dollar question it seems that he's trying to appease elements inside this country there's been speculation about massive waves of immigration from not just greece but from other economies that are struggling at the moment and

david cameron in response to that said that britain could potentially close its doors to immigration from these struggling euro zone countries including greece he was under pressure really to say there was a lot of speculation about these kind of migrant issues and he said if the borders came under unusual stress then the legal position was that britain could take action and close down those borders greece has responded quite vehemently it was the it was the path party one of the parties in the leading coalition at the moment that said that david cameron should look to his own house he should keep his own house in order before commenting on these euro zone issues the greeks are referring there to this scandal that's recently broken about barclays bank rigging these interbank lending rates making them seem much more favorable than they were the greeks say that he shouldn't rush will the markets in the euro zone with talk of restricting immigration he should in fact look to barclays and the banking sector

here in this country and get that in order for before he does the greeks of course are already feeling humiliated by the fact that they have to rely on european bailouts to keep their economy afloat and so of course they react very strongly to any comment like this not only the greeks that seem to be commenting but even the euro commission president jose manuel barroso said that britain seems to be taking delight in the euro crisis. yes that has come from jose manuel barroso and of course david cameron has to be very careful here because the u.k. is not part of the euro zone so any comment he makes of this nature looks like somebody who's just on the outside looking in watching from the sidelines as some commentators is saying and and commenting you know rattling everything by commenting in this way of course david cameron again is under increasing pressure internally to set up a referendum on whether britain whether the u.k.

should remain a part of the e.u. as a whole all whether to downgrade the relationship with brussels and has done a lot he stood back until about a month ago and then about a month ago he really stepped in there attracting a lot of negative commentary from euro zone leaders who said that he is blaming the eurozone for britain's own economics trouble economic troubles of course although britain isn't part of the euro zone it is deeply dependent on the euro zone for its own economic stability and so cameron is looking to protect that really but comments like this are widely seen as unhelpful the greeks have said that he's talking about policing measures that violates all the principles in the freedoms in the in the rules essentially of the e.u. and also that comments like this he's heard from the from the one of the foreign ministry officials would damage the trust that is really essential for keeping the eurozone together under these circumstances well we certainly will be following the

story closely on live from london artie's laura smith thank you. and as laura was just saying britain's grep to buy a rape raking scandal barclays former boss tried to distance himself from troubles as he was quizzed. on allegations the bank of england and political top brass were involved in over charging interest on loans a third largest lender has been found guilty of fixing a system of interbank lending rates at sol homeowners and businesses overcharged at the height of the financial crisis the government's ordered a full parliamentary inquiry into the country's banking sector financial advisor patrick young believes the whole system needs to be revamped before banks can be trusted again. what we've got is a situation where the banks were ultimately during the course of the years running up to the credit crunch of two thousand and eight two thousand and nine power probably incompetent very few people really have paid any price within the banks

then we had this incredible wave of money where the government for some reasons that are really no one don't need to themselves swarm the banks with money but effectively didn't get a good pint of flesh i did them to reform the system and then we've got this situation knowing what of course it's finally come out that what the banks were actually doing was they were manipulating their own interest rates which is basically like having a business and saying you can set the wholesale price and you can set the retail price and ultimately of course they didn't do it in the interests of the consumers they did it in the interests of the banks the difficulty is this is not limited just to london's bankers i mean this is a global financial problem the system has to be reasonable which is that essentially bankers should not be given a free check they should not be given rewards when the buying makes money and when the bank loses money they have no punishment and they still get rewards the whole system has been effectively socialized so that the community are paying for the

bankers and the bankers can be as incompetent as they want because they always walk away with the cash though. the tragedy there is morality and finance but there's a great deal of house to be done to the banking system in order to make it truly compliant with the sort of community that we need and also to fund our businesses in the future well there has been some good news for the europeans after all at least for internet users. as mass protests against the controversial anti-piracy treaty or act persuade the e.u. lawmakers to scrap it and. corporate greed comes under fire on independence day in the u.s. as the occupy movement sweeps through philadelphia. while diplomats and politicians are struggling to find ways to contain the escalating violence in syria ordinary people there are simply trying to survive and it's not just bombs

and bullets that threaten their livelihoods but also soaring prices and the lack of basic goods are ceaselessly coffin of reports. the conflict in syria that is now being called a civil war there was more bloodshed and killing in syria today the newest massacre in syria well bullets and body bags may lead news headlines on syria but death is not the only toll of this war ordinary citizens who haven't picked sides in this conflict now live in daily fear for their lives and now they're also paying dearly with their livelihoods prices for food everything are very highly under growing crisis. now serious currency has lost more than half of its value since the fighting began it used to cost about forty seven syrian pounds to buy one u.s. dollar before the war one hundred pounds for a dollar one year later this inflation unfortunately is only set to get worse with the government now printing more cash just to stay afloat now was once

a pillar of syria's economy but an embargo has cut revenues for the government by nearly one third now those sanctions may have been aimed at the government but of course it is ordinary syrians who are now paying at the pump four thousand that's about sixty dollars used to be and for a month but now you need twice as much. to find i spend hours waiting. and it's not just fuel for cars that's difficult to come by a single tank of cooking gas can now eat up about house of the average syrians monthly paycheck i mean that's huge and with shortages spreading across the country even those supplies are guaranteed. a few weeks and for a week. we want to live we want to eat but we have no this is how we have to live there's no other choice now according to the united nations more than one point four million syrians are already at risk for hunger and those who still have access to food are finding that prices are soaring out of

their reach now let me show you what i mean when it comes to the average syrian a carton of eggs used to cost about one hundred and ten syrian pounds before. war after the uprising that amount of money is enough for just two eggs now take sugar for example the price of a bath like this has tripled in cost the amount of money one used to spend on it now by about this amount and even stable food like rice i mean this is a really common food in syria probably enough to feed a small family for about a week like this has doubled in cost now when it comes to the arab spring the cost of food and fuel has played a critical role as prices rose so did anger in arab nations the same holds true in syria were simply surviving and making ends meet as now a daily battle in the end the price of bread may prove to be a bigger obstacle to peace than a loaded gun for r t i'm lucy catherine of in moscow the road to peace in syria is blocked by the burden and sanctions that are fueling the conflict from grassroot so

says the country's minister of domestic trade and opposition member and col du jamil feels it's nothing more than hypocrisy from the west. lot of. syria is in a difficult situation in social and economic terms it has been isolated which primarily hurts the people of syria rather than the assad government therefore the attitude of the west in isolating syria is pure hypocrisy and their claim that the embargo is damaging the assad regime is own substantiated we believe that once we manage to bring about national reconciliation and restore unity we will be able to end the blockade the way it has happened time and again throughout history both in syria and in other parts of the world. don't miss the full interview here on our team in just about twenty minutes that

europe's internet users are celebrating the rejection by the e.u. parliament of a controversial anti-piracy treaty act is an international trade agreement aimed at preventing large scale intellectual property theft critics claim the treaty with threaten people's wealth freedom outside the e.u. actor has been signed by the us canada japan and several other countries earlier my colleague kevin i went to last k. from the pirate party u.k. says the rejection by the e.u. parliament is a historic victory for citizens over lobbyists. despite the wild claims that the copyright lobbyists and there was no actual proper evidence to show that act was going to help anyone on either in terms of jobs or in terms of growth for the economy i think it's worth pointing out that attitude was not just rejected it was comprehensive cry. heard david martin said this was actually.

over her rejection of a measure that was already in commission ok the question for europe at the moment as it stands do. i think we'll ever be a pan global set of rules coming into place i think what's really clear is that it was a fundamental mistake to try and mix so many different things together but also equally it's a fundamental mistake to try and negotiate to such a treaty behind closed doors but it also without countries like russia india and china. have typical arrogance of western countries to manage we can just push some things through i do i'm actually looking forward to us changing gender now actually moving away from the negative entertainment industry agenda and i actually think about oz into the protecting digital freedoms and actually talking about how shared culture and i actually access. the internet into technology how that would benefit

all institutes and one citizen. there is a school of thought that the day that x. is being turned in europe where piracy is going to be encouraged is one step forward is it a free for all now in your eyes no not a top i think it's worth remembering what the many objections to act were was essentially setting up a surveillance system of turning turning your internet service provider into a copyright but it was not just about intellectual property also organizations like medicine some form to get warning that it could affect the ability of developing nations to access a portable generic drug so this is a tremendous victory against actually what would have been hugely damaging agreement. there are no online restrictions whatsoever on our website it's

available for you twenty four seven and here's some of the stories worth checking out right now the overly strong arm of the law and the west bank human rights groups hit out at israeli soldiers. hitting them selves at a nine year old palestinian boy read all about it. and all three arrested members. have gone on a hunger strike to find out what's close to them toward such a move and watch the videos of some of their most outlandish performances that are calm and make sure all of our best videos on our you tube channel. is he.

the official. from the. video. and. minutes past the hour and from across the u.s. have returned in full force to philadelphia where they held a mass on independence day the protest against corporate greed inequality and debt began over the weekend dozens were arrested after he was met with heavy with a very heavy police presence is going to have reports. the occupy movement together

here in philadelphia on the fourth of july was certainly a symbolic move the area is widely known as the cradle of liberty where the necklace of independence was first read aloud the us constitution was adopted and as occupiers here in philadelphia went about exercising their rights at least two people were arrested one of them because police wouldn't let him process certain line with the sign over all there was heavy police presence but the gathering was very peaceful so far u.s. authorities have occupiers from all of their camping locations all across the country and those were largely very peaceful protests more than seven thousand people have been arrested since the beginning of the movement last fall many of those demonstrators were charged and still face trial one of them malcolm harris who was arrested in new york the judge demanded twitter to hand over all his links and user information occupiers took it as a message whatever you say may well be used against you and maybe

a scary tactics too many now might be aware of speaking their mind freely online and there's many goals and demands of the occupy movement and in covering it's clear that what they want is a society that is economically just and where there's a quality where people under the law are held to the same standards that banks would not get away with and get bailed out and people would be told that they have to pay and they would not get bailed out economic injustices the cozy relationship between big business and the government those are some of the things that they're focusing on one thing is clear that is too many people in the u.s. are unhappy with business as usual washington but most of them don't take to the streets there in silent protest they support neither of the candidates and say they feel money has more power in washington than their voices i'm going to check on in philadelphia. coming up in a few minutes of the purpose is high but the methods are questioned. if you're

a terrorist and if you're smart you wipe the lot of them before you drones if you have a dumb week you know so good no one will ever. israel's try border control puts many harmless tourists straight back on a plane home but failed to spot a terrorist as we report in a few minutes. that's now have a look at some other world news in brief for you this hour a final report into the handling of the nuclear crisis at the fukushima plant last year has been released by japan's parliament the findings claim both the government and plant operator failed to take measures to avoid the disaster the company had said there was nothing it could have done against the huge tsunami wave massive criticism and angry protests broke out following the accident which led to an all due to all the nuclear plants being shut down in the country although recently one reactor has been switched back. the independent tunisian body tasked with

reforming the country's media has resigned the commission sided government censorship and this information for halting its activities it was created following the outs are of president ben ali has spent the past year drafting a new press code to guarantee freedom of speech and independence in the media tunisia was the country where the revolution in the name of democracy was born. another huge protest in peru has seen one person killed and one of its leaders beaten and detained it comes just a day after three people died in clashes between police and demonstrators peruvians are opposing a multibillion dollar mining project financed by u.s. based company opponents claim it will harm the area's ecosystem destroy water supplies and fail to bring local economic benefits. five people have been found following

a hostage standoff in southwestern germany an armed man whose girlfriend was facing forced evictions from her apartment killed four people before turning the gun on himself among the dead was the assailants fifty five year old partner was discovered shot dead in a bed the woman had fallen behind on payments and the flat was sold at a foreclosure auction. by tourists may be flocking to the holy land from all over the world but the spiritual journey of some of them comes to an abrupt end at passport control as really airport security is being accused of overstepping its authority by demanding access into people's private data and the time to prevent terrorists from sneaking into the country artist policy or reports. they come in the millions to touch the hoody now and many of the frustrated a little more than the airport instead of touching the holy land they are brushed by a port security and sent home with them goes

a large slice of the country's tourism sandra to mari from illinois in the united states was one of the disappointed i hated my passport over and the woman looked at me and what is your father's name was your grandfather's name and when i told her she asked. how it's in a waiting room sandra tomar we kept that seat warm for eight hours in that time she was interrogated seven times and then the question became focused on my e-mail and what i thought of you and we'll account then when i refused to give my g. mail account that's so much to be hiding so. i was asked very plainly are you a terrorist and i didn't know whether it's. love. israeli airport security was as serious as it could be they didn't believe her story of coming to visit family and taking part in an interfaith conference they also knew she'd been involved in campaigns calling for boycotts and disinvestment from israel. a day later she was

on a plane back to the united states. sandra's experience is not unique there are many more who have suffered in the same way it appears this experience could be merely the tip of the iceberg this is way beyond anything it's like asking you to go back home and open your safe. see what's there they can find your contact list they can find out where where are your plans where you're heading to everything but the think is that if you're a terrorist and if you're smart you wipe your laptop before you cross and you have a dummy account so that no one will ever access your mail but saying let's focus on the beauty of it all but also remember aware of the problem two operators are telling potential tourists what to say. we encourage all of our groups to sure.

also. don't. go in we were to the west bank but deleting facebook profiles from setting up fake e-mail addresses doesn't touch on legal questions there certainly is no basis in law whatsoever for them to be asking people for their passwords and usernames and entering their g. mail accounts i find it incredibly difficult to believe that they had obtained a warrant for any of these searches. and so i think it would be very difficult to find a basis in israeli law for this kind of search israel strictness follows a series of run ins with international activists in recent years hundreds of propellants t.v. and demonstrators were stopped from flying into the country recently as israel tightens its grip on who can and cannot step foot in the holy land police here r.t. television. business time with daniel and conditions are so painful there are members are getting money elsewhere for the next. you member on the verge of going
