we strikes again this time by starting to publish over two million e-mails from syrian politicians government departments and companies dating back years. meanwhile as the violence in syria continues to as kool aid dozens more are killed across the country we look at why people far from the front line are now struggling to survive. was greece slams the british prime minister for threats suggesting he could block greek immigrants and other eurozone citizens from entering the u.k. . i've been suggested britain should be looking through its own banking scandal before the whole thing judgement on all the move for me in london in just a moment. it's

four pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live from an isa now a with our top story and we can leaks is publishing close to two and a half million e-mails from syrian government officials from as far back as two thousand and six the leak is almost one hundred times bigger than the release of american diplomatic cables which rock the u.s. military and leadership and made ricky leaks founder julian assange an enemy of the state so our firth is following developments. there's going to be some very anxious people in the syrian government right now more than two million emails are in wiki leaks possession and they're going to be released in chunks over the coming weeks now the message from julian a song was this isn't about criticizing one group or another wiki leaks saying that this isn't only embarrassing for the syrian government but also for the west western companies how they say one thing and do another but yet the message from

julian assange really was that this isn't about criticizing one particular group it's about looking now in a working about what's going on behind the scenes in this conflict and it's only by understanding this that he says that we can hope to resolve the conflict so that was the sort of message there from the wiki leaks founder of course this is the latest that we've had as he's fighting against the extradition to sweden we're joined now by. the founder of the front line and also you actually had julian assange staying in your home state thank you very much for joining us i want to give it about the media's role in this story because obviously you seen a lot of criticism and backlash against julian assad and yet the same people and the same media that were criticizing him and now going to be covering this story for the next couple of weeks is going to be the headline you say i mean sort of double standards going on i think. i think there are double standards i

think julian has somehow treading on a territory a journalist six. and journalism is resentful of that to an extent that's partly what's happening in my view and so you see these shrill comments against these people feel that they have the right to patrol the information and they actually do very little to promote journalism's ethics outside the profession so there's a sort of professional competition going on and i think that it's it's wrong and i think history will be very critical of this because ultimately journalism. fails in its task its task is not just to protect itself you can look you know i look at julian assange as a. catch a robin hood but certainly it is another big ski for wiki leaks and i think it really puts the focus back on why this fight. fight and why the fight for wiki leaks indeed is so important we've spoken a lot of times to kristen have he's described as a second public face and i think really the emphasis is always been on the fact

that you know wiki leaks does operate without julian assange and it's not just about these big stories and the big story surrounding the man himself but you know the most important thing is the information that wiki leaks provides and we see a once again with the syria files just what an important service that provides. now iraq's foreign minister is blaming al qaeda members for orchestrating the uprising against syria's president in a news briefing he said militants from the terror network were flowing into syria the violence inside the country has worsened with over one hundred people killed throughout throughout syria in the last three days reports say findings intensifying in homes where troops are clashing with rebels for the citizens though in the middle it's a daily battle to survive as the captain 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 to news headlines on syria but death

is not the only toll of this war warden or the citizens who haven't picked sides in this conflict now living daily fear for their lives and now they're also paying dearly with their livelihoods prices for food fuel everything are very highly were 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 or oil 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 in for

a month but now you need twice as much as i'm able to find i spend hours waiting for 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 half of the average syrians monthly paycheck i mean that's huge and with shortages spreading across the country even those supplies are. guaranteed. if you're reaching for a. few. you 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 the 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

will now buy about this amount and even staple foods 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. and syrian politician opposition member kondrat jamil says anger in the country is being fueled by the burden of sanctions and western support of the uprising more from him coming up in our interview waiter this hour here's a preview. i was out 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. where greece is furious at the british prime minister over his remarks that the u.k. could restrict greeks from entering the country the move could also prevent other eurozone citizens coming to britain to escape recession at home greece says london should be focusing on its own financial troubles as laura smith explains. there's been speculation about massive waves of immigration from not just greece but from

other economies that are struggling at the moment 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 pasok 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 your resume 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 rattle 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 the european bailouts to keep their economy afloat and so of course they reacted very strongly to any comment like this 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 greece have said that he's talking about policing measures that violates all the principles in the freedoms in the rules essentially of the e.u. and also that comments like this damage the trust that is really essential for keeping the euro zone together under these circumstances but lawyer george cut through growing david cameron's idea offensive and illegal. everybody feels insulted because a. police. statement because the prime minister

knows that if you scroll through the european know what he has said yes remove those people is one of the fundamental truth of the european union it is not the case in the us in the states to grow keep it your movement or citizens of other european states to dorie this is the needle of the future of europe but the same time we are feeling about the sentiment of national relation exactly because they are through the must not exceed sins or second order this is one of the fundamentals you're going to need if we do not cut the movement of people this is of course going to who the european union is the time when it's really got it it is more than ever needed i think that we're going to see a divide between the european insult but this is the future you see. now more travel trouble a little later on r.t. when we try to check in on israel anything to declare the country airport security

is now battering real personal email of those wanting to visit the holy land. how is the idea of multicultural society. sharing the motherland r.t. . oh the goldfish bowl that told. her hand.

was an independence day with a difference in philadelphia as members of the occupy movement from across the u.s. gathered for a key demo at least two people were arrested following the rally which had a heavy police presence are you going to do you can was out to protest against corporate greed inequality and debt. for the occupy movement to gather 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 next liberation of independence was first read aloud at the u.s. constitution was adopted so far u.s. authorities have a big take 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 was arrested in new york the judge demanded twitter to hand over his wit's end user information or could buyers took it as a message whatever you say may well be used against you may be 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 as 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 they would not get bailed out economic injustice the cozy relationship between big businesses 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. you money has more power in washington than there are voices i'm going to check on in philadelphia. a look at some other stories making headlines around the globe but first truck supplying nato in afghanistan has crossed the pakistani border the first to do so since transit routes were reopened the killing of pakistani border troops last november led to islamabad shutting them off only when the u.s. finally apologized this week to pakistan passage of the disagreements over deadly american drone strikes and islam about alleged taliban support still hamper relations. the pentagon will reportedly invest forty million dollars in underwater cable from the military base in guantanamo bay to an undisclosed link in south florida in two thousand and nine president barack obama promised to close the

controversial facility used to hold terror suspects over the last decade many of them without trial critics of get most exists to save the construction and execution of the execution of the project is expected to take several years. to brown's released its final report into the fukushima nuclear plant tragedy calling it a profoundly manmade disaster it hardly it's serious deficiencies by both the government and the company in charge of the facility tepco the operator says there was nothing you could have done to counter the earthquake or tsunami which led to meltdowns and radioactive leaks in march two thousand and eleven. well airport security can be a little overzealous at times but in israel it's taking off to a whole new level beyond the scammers pat downs and bag searches guards even asked to inspect passengers personal e-mails for any traces of pro palestinian activism i

suppose there are now reports even a tourist family tree can get them turfed out. they come in millions to touch the hoody now and many of the frustrated seniors will 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 tamale from illinois in the united states was one of the disappointed i had with my passport over and the young woman looked at me and what is your father's what is your grandfather's name and when i told her she asked. have a space waiting room sandra tomar we kept 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 mail account. when i refused my g. mail accounts that's. the height so. i was asked very plainly are you

a terrorist and i didn't know whether it's serious. 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 she 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 so. that they can find your contact list they can find if where are where are your plans where are you 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 mailed it saying let's focus on the beauty of it all but also remember aware of the problem operators are telling potential tourists what to say. we encourage all of our groups to sure. 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. israel strictness follows a series of run ins with international activists in recent years hundreds of

protesters student demonstrators was stopped from flying into the country recently as israel tightens its grip on who can and cannot step foot in the holy land police . television. israel security forces hit by human rights abuse scandal as we report online israeli soldiers are called pushing a nine year old palestinian boy to the ground or getting him to give a full story online. also a law in ukraine to recognize russian as an official language in some regions causes protests and clashes in kiev. does not cross over to the business to ask for an update in a class and joins us now what's the result of the european central bank's meeting well yes the e.c.b. the interest rates to store it all of the zero point seven five percent a little less than an hour ago the move comes amid fresh signs that europe's

strongest economy germany has actually hit the down hit the valen turn and charles roberts of the capital in moscow told us the european central bank should have done that a long time ago. it's not going to make much difference it's a psychological boost if anything but the markets of pretty well priced in a twenty five basis point rate cut now. i would have thought they should have already last month and then followed up with another cup this month. and let's now check out the equity markets let's see europe first and as you can see it's actually gaining doing quite well the footsie is higher after the bank of england pumped an additional fifteen billion pounds into the economy and has completed its takeover of porcher which is driving volts wagon shares higher and moody's warning that it can downgrade barclays following the rates scandal now let's check out the currency markets and as you can see at the moment the euro is shedding value
