between rebels and government forces with a series of heavy explosions and shelling heard in the capital the opposition fighters they do say they are behind the latest damascus that killed several top officials but although there has been some condemnation that's being drowned by strong go western calls for more action against assad and. reports from damascus. we were earlier been hearing reports that it's been a massive very intense bombing but as you can see the building is not very much damage some windows broken and actually this is all the damage as we can see from here also from what we can see from here we can understand that the explosion happened inside the building free syrian army has already claimed responsibility for what happened and for that blast and for the killings the news about blast has come at a very tough time for the syrian capital in the last four days damascus has been seen for what the opposition and free syrian army have dubbed the final battle for

damascus a decisive battle for the syrian capital shootings have been heard in very different parts of the syrian capital also seen black smoke drifting over the city's skyline and we've also been hearing helicopters not only flying over one of the oldest continuously inhabited capitals in the war old but also firing we can see some smoke even now in actually many different neighborhoods of damascus many countries have closed their embassies here in syria one half withdrawn all personnel in this neighborhood alone turkish embassy over there saudi embassy this is the building of american embassy tallon embassies these embassies have also suspended their work but ordinary syrians don't have the same choice the world has come to their door and they have nowhere to run and they're trying to organize their everyday life waiting for this nightmare to end one of the most important rule these days in the syrian capital is not to go to the cities troubled areas where the clashes between the rebels and the army still continue and the names of these neighborhoods are

very well known for everybody here might have began. no i won't take you to my derm it's too dangerous but damascus is a very big city with a population of around two million people maybe these days even more with all displaced families from homs and other epicenter of the uprising from all across the country shelter now here in the capital and in some neighborhoods you can. pictures that you don't at all expect to see in the capital of a country and golf with war or like this family alone picnics really very peaceful pictures so one can flick has been raging for seventeen months already people say they're tired they are exhausted but they also say that life must go on now if your snotty from damascus in syria. and the president assad's government has pledged to continue fighting terrorism after this bombing dr yunus a u.-boat from columbia university says that the complexity of the attack he thinks

indicates that international intelligence agencies could well have been involved. the timing of this this work the way it was carried out the fact that started the major figures within the regime this shows that it's these are professional these are not does this is not someone who just did it by himself or as they tried to portray maybe one bomber acting on his own and of course maybe those inside information and people from inside the regime but that does not exclude the fact that this is the work of some international intelligence service what is at stake now is actually all the geopolitics of the region it wants the whole regime of assad out and they want a very flexible regime that can be used for other agendas the main one being first getting rid of its support given to the resistance in lebanon and also weakening more and more iran. now moscow and washington have agreed that tensions

are rising dangerously in syria in a telephone conversation presidents putin and obama both said they see eye to eye on the final goal of stability but still have some differences of opinion on how to get there after the latest violence the u.n. security council delayed a crucial vote on a new resolution which could see sanctions imposed on damascus ultimately paving the way for that of intervention with details artie's more important. as a vote on a u.k. draft resolution on renewing the u.n. supervision mission in syria now this u.k. drafted resolution is under chapter seven which means that it also calls for the renewal of the u.n. mission in syria for forty five days but it also threatens sanctions against a mask is if the syrian government does not seize the use of heavy weapons and withdraw from heavy populated areas within ten days as we have been reporting

russia has stood firm on saying it will not support any resolution that paves the way for sanctions against syria or anything involving chapter seven of the of the u.n. charter under chapter seven many experts say it could also pave the way for. military intervention into syria china has always has also expressed a similar position russia instead has also drafted its own reza new resolution renewing the u.n. mission in syria for another three months if this mission is not renewed that means that the u.n. security council the international community loses any verifiable reporting and verification that is taking place in syria there are three hundred unarmed u.n. officials in syria while they suspended activities in june there is still a presence there that is able to assess the situation on the ground and report back to the united nations if you lose that mission in syria there would be essentially

no kind of objective force to report back to the international community and that could only make the syrian crisis worse. and. trying to find a solution to the ongoing syrian stalemate others are just getting fuel to the flames as we reported here on our studio audience tonight no live video video training. of the syrian addressed showing basically different methods on how to kill reinvestigate interested in these we feel less. at the b.b.c. it's such a challenge a controversial court ruling banning it from showing its latest film about last summer's riots ending. well the number of dead in the bombing of a bus with israeli tourists in bulgaria now stands at least six official say five israelis on the local driver were killed investigators believe the terror attack was most likely carried out by a suicide bomber who had fake u.s. documents this video has just been released showing the suspect on security camera

before the bombing but israeli government accused iran of being behind the attack and volatile tough response iran's state t.v. has rejected the accusations as ridiculous as some thirty people were injured with the israeli air force now lifting them home independent researcher and writer. says iran is unlikely to have been behind the blast as it would only give israel an excuse to retaliate. the next time yahoo and israel in fact need to play the victim card in order to be more aggressive and in the past few months few years israel has lost a lot of supporters even here in the united states it's very easy to blame i mean iran and iran is not a very attractive country to the world and the masses are very happy to accept whatever they're told told by mr netanyahu to me it doesn't make sense that iran

would want to carry out this operation it's very hard to accept this iran would willingly have the world and. to the wishes of these really is by providing them with an excuse to attack. what you got to get more details and analysis on this story and many others as well of course iraq dot com let's have a look and see what else you're online right now a nazi war crimes suspect believed to have helped send thousands of jews to. just been arrested in hungary get more details about the ninety seven year old on our web site. plus the contention scientists claim they may have found the skeleton of the woman who posed for leonardo da vinci's most iconic painting but is it really motivates those details we're also waiting for you to see. just now turning ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital of the german parliament is set on a tough vote whether or not to grant spain's ailing banks one hundred billion euros

worth of rescue cash and has been rallying support for the transfer but although lawmakers are widely expected to back her she's still going to have to face down a rebellion with her within her own ruling coalition but. when german chancellor angela merkel addresses m.p.'s just behind me a little later on she's going to be looking to garner their support for further bailout funds for spain's ailing banking sector that without that support that money can't be released from the german treasury now speaking on german television the chancellor seems confident saying that we always get the majority we need however there are rumblings of discontent among m.p.'s here. we saw a minority vote against the new bailout fund that minority coming from angola merkel's own center right coalition we've also heard from the opposition social

democrats who have told mrs merkel that she shouldn't just rely on their support that she's going to have to make a valid case and prove to them the further bailout money for spain is in the best interest of germany now the heartland for bailout money is the wealthy southern region of bavaria there taxpayers and politicians alike wanting mrs merkel to prove this not only is germany giving money to spain in the best interest of the country but also to bavaria giving extra tax revenues towards the poorest states in germany is in their best interests that well as it stands at the moment a very a paying out the lion's share of money to help keep areas of germany such as right here in berlin afloat so the situation in german internal politics mirror mirror the situation that we're seeing concerning germany and its role in the future of the eurozone the question has to be asked can mrs merkel make the case that bailout

funds all the way forward and her class bill sure member of angela merkel's christian democratic union is against the spanish bailout he believes at the end of the day germany will directly suffer as a result. i do not vote for the bailout because i think it's wrong way it's against the rules that we set up for your region for a common currency and now for the first time we're not only bailing out countries what already is against our regulations but also banking institutes in spain and none of them has to be all that wants to be bailed out is any relevance for the whole financial system a lot of germans well anxious they see that we are taking more risks and more risks and that at one point our own credibility would be damaged by this you know we we

have a large severing dept on our road but i think i'm quite sure that we can handle it our economy is performing good about all those savings policy and all this growth policy will be needed this when we then need the money to pay others out this is against the regulation and legal framework we set up when we erected. the european currency union. well i will from germany now to the u.k. there's no end in sight for cuts as prime minister david cameron admits britain will have to endure years more of austerity all these are more because certainly has more of that don't you i mean do you think really the end of the day but the cuts are as bad the forecast as gloomy as cameron is saying well basically they're saying that they'll be extended on so twenty twenty of originally it was supposed to end in two thousand and fifteen so that's postponing there by five extending it by five years which means up people will end up suffering even more pensions god

and again we might even see more protests on the streets if we take a look though at the graph that we're prepared to show you i would take a look at the national debt it started out were two percent five and two thousand and eight i'm also seeing how much stronger and since then and what's more the i.m.f. actually believes that the u.k. economy who post is zero point two percent growth this year this is already lower than there was in the previous year and a lot of people are now saying a lot of brits themselves are questioning whether the coalition can actually come back from this and deal with accelerating that crisis that we're seeing and the national debt becoming bigger and bigger and bigger well later on i have the all the market reaction to this especially in europe that's going out for about ten minutes. from now the b.b.c. is considering contesting a court order banning it from showing a film about last summer's riots in england and the program shows actors reading testimonies the governor in the aftermath of the disorder has now been mysteriously

shelved until further notice he said laura smith explores the reasons behind it. the bonds program is the two parts huge draw involving actors reading excerpts from interviews with two hundred seventy people involved in last august's riots in titled the riot in the woods the interviews were originally done for a project aimed at understanding the causes of the disturbances as to why it's being fans this is an extremely opaque and unusual case legally we are not allowed to name the judge who hunted down the order the court he was listing in for the case the decision referred to we understand this kind of order is sometimes made in cases of breach of privacy but at the moment there's absolutely no indication what's legislation has been applied it's here as far as reaction goes the b.b.c. it self doesn't seem to be able to talk about it either just putting out

a statement confirming the cool and that is unable to add anything meanwhile press brita groups have cooled to move to the big and indicated they feel this is that we should just remind you that riots broke out from love to visit the sick following the shooting of mark duggan by a police officer in north london they then spread countrywide and over the next three days cities across england were terrorized by violent looting and often since then a lot of studies and programs have been made looking into the cool business it's very unclear why this particular one in the school and out of the pool although it does come close to the on the bus three it's a place to be in with lots of limpid the b.b.c. the lawyers are considering appealing the decision and promise to show you the programme at a later date perhaps only then will it become clear why this highly unusual decision to ban the programme was made in the first place far before we get to be

a let's return our focus not about. of syria and so where the conflict is intensifying it seems that the violence has filtered now into many aspects of life including the internet one example is a spate of new videos linked to the unrest offering training on how to use assault rifles as r.t. sarah further reports many are wondering who put them up and why they have not been taken down. just a click away and the internet is full of these video training guys that are providing dangerous tips that kids see cyber war is taken from their computer screens and given the practical skills to kill the many of these videos that have emerged in the last year or so aimed at the syrian opposition and the syrian rebel forces that are fighting against the syrian regime in the country at the moment but they're easily accessible you have a huge number of views on the huge chief sites where these videos are going up and

big questions about the regulation of these videos about why they're allowed to stay out for so long now many of these videos was aimed at the syrian opposition aren't actually made in syria itself is that many of them originating from other countries including a lot of them coming from the u.s. and of course that again raises questions about the u.s. is involvement in this type of cyber warfare of course many other countries and many other governments also stand accused of participating in this type of cyber warfare but there are big concerns because over the last couple of years certainly countries like the u.s. and the case have identified as one of the main threats in this war on terror as being the lone wolves people who are sat in the privacy of their own home and able to access information that trains than to be able to carry out an attack and say videos like this are of course deeply disturbing was this

a verse of know how might be aimed at the people fighting inside syria right now of course is just a click away for anyone who wants to log on and have a look and that raises very very serious questions and has terrifying implications he's reach is far beyond the syrian conflicts. to the outside world out there we go where our egypt's former spy chief and vice president omar suleiman has died in the u.s. at the age of seventy six he was in the country for medical checks his aides said that he felt fine suddenly took a turn for the worse during the tests he was taking in the cleveland of course of the death is yet to be announced so lame it was made vice president days before hosni mubarak was ousted in egypt's popular uprising last year he was going to run in this year's presidential elections but was disqualified from taking part in. families of american citizens killed in drone strikes in yemen have filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the u.s. against four top military officials the defense secretary leon panetta and cia

director david petraeus are among those named in the case relatives accuse them of approving and directing the strikes which i say are unconstitutional if they occurred outside of military conflicts and those killed were allegedly linked to terror plots. well separate attacks on spiritual leaders of russia's mostly muslim republic of tatarstan the mufti of the republic's finds of was injured when his car was blown up in the capital cazan several deaths have also been reported and the investigators are currently working at the scene in a separate incident the mufti's deputy was shot dead while leaving his home on thursday morning investigators say the attacks may have something to do with the fact that both clerics were staunch critics of radical islam a criminal investigations now have been launched. will see marina with a business shortly for now going back to their roots farmers in india cutting out

chemicals putting aside pesticides as they say that traditional techniques are more effective. explains what's behind the stock changed agricultural thinking. i mean she's sharma is part of a movement of tens of thousands of farmers in india breadbasket turning back to their traditions in organic farming. single gannett farming we are not dependent on anyone to do we don't have to buy anything on the market as we so sufficient. but it wasn't always that way millions of farmers in india got hooked on chemicals and passed aside during the so-called green revolution a time in the one nine hundred sixty s. when the indian government began importing hybrid seeds to increase crop yields after a major famine this opened the door for several foreign agricultural corporations to shout into this new market the increase in expensive chemicals also brought

about a new dependence that buried farmers deep in debt even forcing some to suicide money is going to the book itself like the nation of not put in the book or so the farmers who saw the. problems will cite you will notice that the problem of the images was like only. the good will to show is introduced. farmers like sharma also noticed that while he had an initial buy you can crop yields ultimately the soil was so depleted of its natural nutrients it became infertile and the incidence of cancer due to chemicals in the communities drinking water increased significantly in the years since the green revolution more farmers here in punjab are starting to reclaim their land and stopping the use of chemicals here they say they're not only lowering production costs by keeping their land more sustainable for future generations farmers say they are able to make more

money and spend the last without using any chemical pesticides and fertilizers and seeds if that are going to be that the buy don't to organic farming we can conserve the environment. wildlife that will be beneficial for the next generation you know . reassure either party through india. other. investors are reacting in any point to the latest headlines the news today well here's the thing naturally we should see them reacting negatively to all the comments made by prime minister david cameron of course and when they play at least we're not seeing any of that if you take a look at the latest figures in europe will see that both the footsie and the german dax are adding no major gains but still german dax is almost half a percent in the black there and of course another thing that investors are focusing on are the board all kinds that are taking place in spain and in france when it comes to spain managed to sell just under three billion euros worth of

government that which is what they were accounted for haven't said a spanish foreign calls are going higher and the demand was lower than expected we're still waiting to see what happens whether france itself out bald option now moving on a second look at what's happening with the currencies for the last couple of hours the euro has been flat against the u.s. dollar we see that it's still considered to be like that when it comes to the ruble it scared me against both major currencies this thursday push the markets off when the optimism that we saw both of the asian markets on wall street overnight and in europe as well another factor influencing the investors here is the fact inflation is our record low right now but when it comes to this year at least prices are about are about four point two percent from the beginning of the year and this is a great boost for boston that's was mostly prices again for the seventh street straight session now physical is that some individual share moves on my six most of the blue chips are naturally higher we have gas from one per cent in fact we know that it's time to talk about with the southeast asian nation i should say confused

in that east asian so south asian nation during the day at about the mostly partner not been developing liquefied natural gas also we have to chatting about a third of a percent i would know about her the box halts all the companies with b.p. in this russian partners over a restructuring of the oil venture to me that is near. and that's a bargain got in over one percent in general financial stocks are doing quite well across the board today when it comes to all the news here in russia the country is a business is now pushing to increase in income tax and what's weird about this is that entrepreneurs themselves up motions to increase to fifteen percent for high salaries and also over the next two years at the moment basra has a lot and come tax rate of thirteen percent as you can see there it's lower than in most developed and even emerging markets now the bill to hike taxes may look even more alluring as russia's cabinet meets the cash to fulfill its election pledges

and tom barton caught up with p.w. c. partner karena good to discuss this issue. so just start off with we'll talk about this proposed tax change it's only two percent thirteen to fifteen percent is it going to make any difference for the budget it will not make a huge difference because russian budget system personal income tax has never played by the little so maybe the tax collections will increase the number to effect of introducing this additional charge will completely undermine this additional tax collections but surely russia seems to have a lower tax rate than many comparable countries surely it's time the government started taking more money to give services i would say that we should. tax rate that we have with russia with the top tax rates that we have another countries and if you look at the facts if tax rates i think russian tax rate is relatively comparable to my new tax rates in the developed countries so i wouldn't say that increasing tax rates now will solve any problems it will only damage the investment

climate and it will only cause public anger russia is unfortunately you know tourists having a lot of problems collecting tax has that situation improved. tremendously i would say since the introduction of the tax court back in two thousand and two thousand and one that. improved tremendously and this goes both to the legislation and to the tax system and how it's administrative obviously certain problems still exist but someone who has been in this profession for eighteen years i would say that i have seen in the changes in how tax system works in russia. and that's what i have for you this hour. with some more doom and gloom rory and then i'll be back about the more they're terribly enticing murray thanks so much. in a moment here with the modern day robin hood ok he doesn't give money to the poor
