syrian troops drive the rebels out of the capital starboard so fierce fighting moves to aleppo the country's largest city and the key stronghold of president assad. status updates new findings that reveal how government. you type and tweet on internet social networks and will be held against. dairy problem is still the outrage literally in front of the european parliament here is a major food industry fix is the proper. hello and welcome to all see twenty four hour news live from moscow my name is you know

main story now syrian government forces claim to have regained control of damascus suburbs crushing the rebels most daring offensive of the country's capital since then bres began it's now the city of aleppo that is bearing the brunt of the conflict with clashes between the army and opposition militants they're running for several days now she's on a boyko visit and syria explains the shifting dynamics of the fighting. art he was one of the few if not the only four in the crew that was able to travel to the last in three months ago and from what we've seen there i can tell you that he's a very peculiar case for this whole syrian struggle no where you can see the kind of virgins of the genuine democratic movement and pure criminal activity so that in the s. and on one hand aleppo is home to a major university so a lot of people you meet there are liberally minded intellectuals they oftentimes

disagree with the policies of bashar assad many of them call on him to step down but at the same time they strongly object the use of kalashnikovs who are any political games they don't want that democracy to be delivered through these very bloody conflicts through this very bloody struggle on the other hand aleppo is home to many militia groups this is probably because it's far more closer to the north and to the turkish border that is used to supply all those arms and in the left of you here are a lot of stories a lot of cases of industrial terrorism for shops and factories for sat on fire simply because their owners your fused to pay the so-called revolution their attacks that the free syrian army attempted to impose on local businesses there are also a lot of cases of kidnappings and those kidnappings are carried out not so much for political aims or goals but rather simply for ransom so a lever is indeed

a very important strategic location for both the army and the opposition and the battle for aleppo will be very important in determining the balance of power of the distribution of forces in these seventeen month long syrian conflict. meanwhile the rebels themselves describe their fences on the leper as in a parisian to liberate the city but the added seven dependent media channel syria tribune says that claim is a fanciful one to liberate the city from its own people that's what they need and i actually saw far for the past fifteen months and has shown nothing but great support to the syrian government to the president. this was manifested by huge rallies several times. the issue the idea of the opposition field repeatedly to to demonstrate in the city to assure their their size in peaceful demonstrations or. they reverted to recruiting others from other areas

and have them circulate the area in the countryside but not inside the city so far . and well some see the fall of the assad regime as a bit of a long shot others have offered detail scenarios of how it might happen so pfizer all in fiction books published in english sometimes that's where many people turn to to fill the gaps when the information coming out of the countries so hard to verify r.t. south explores and whether books can provide an accurate picture. the facts of what's been happening on the ground during the course of the fighting have often been very hard to come by reporting from inside the country a valuable in a summation often came in the form of firsthand accounts from the syrian people heaping witnesses to the events as they happened and could help further our understanding of what was happening and why now as the conflicts continue to be seen a number of books in analysis populist about what's been happening inside the country

but these texts as vivid and compelling as they are being published as the conflict is ongoing and so the question does need to be asked whether these takes time give us a full and accurate picture of what's been happening inside the country now to help me answer that question i'm joined by historian richard avery so it's unlikely that question to turn these eyewitness accounts in real time reports ever be free from the motion while the conflicts ongoing and if no it's time they be relied upon as unbiased accounts they certainly can't be relied upon as biased and i think the important thing is that historians take all kinds of evidence over time they have to be aware of the problems of the didn't they have to be aware of the emotional content you have to be aware of who's producing the documents and why but the end of all her motion is joran has to do is to produce a balance judgment tesing is a danger to the general public readership will pick up these texts and read this

information and take it as undisputed facts pose a danger because of the public will read what they want to read and believe what they want to believe and i think you should have your story and sure always to stand back and say hang on a minute some of these things might take on the status of miss you've got to be very careful because miss can become embedded in popular percent of popular identity miss can be very dangerous and i think your stories can contribute anything. people you know you need to be very careful when you approach any of this kind of material richard thank you very much for joining us well it's often said that your perspective depends on where you all standing now was these texts and eyewitness accounts invariably provide us with the all important insight from people who have been there as the situations unfolded they are of course just part of a broader picture and that may take as many years to piece together the conflict in

syria intensifying daily and while some of these techs may have already reached their own conclusions the final chapters of the conflict in syria as yet remain on race and. so our correspondents on the ground in syria do their best inform you on what's really going on in the conflict torn country by that twitter feeds and on his account of boyko is describing how the life and the market is starting to get back to normal but despite that still an impression that there are more tanks and taxes in the syrian capital so all have first hand accounts attacks on a point on the screen one.

moving on now social networks like facebook and twitter see many users posting that in timelines on line sharing stories and pictures with friends but it seems even that strictest online privacy settings are no match for the spying eyes of governments around the world from new york or in a partner i explain. in the land of social media users tweet tag. friends upload and share information at any given moment in the land of the free what americans post online can and will be used against them. according to twitter of the nearly twelve hundred government requests for user data filed in the first half of this year nearly eighty percent came from the u.s. government the micro message company says it complied with seventy five percent of user data washington requested social media in general twitter and facebook being

prime examples of that are a part of an ever increasingly invasive police state in the united states it's it's not just about surveillance and about tracking and monitoring this is the way in which they're consolidating control in the past year u.s. judges have forced twitter to turn over private or deleted data on users as part of investigations related to wiki leaks or occupy wall street. the ruling according to reports allows prosecutors access to tweets and additional information stored by twitter including the e-mail and i p address of a user it's more about more than just invasion of privacy it's about destroying the concept of privacy online at a recent conference called how cars on planet earth former national security agent william binney detailed the demise of u.s. privacy protection which he says has been carried out by washington for more than

a decade it must have been right for. the border we. decided to begin to tell. you what it is binney spent thirty seven years working for the n.s.a. before resigning to blow the whistle on what he calls the creation of an orwellian state. or for the areas. that we see that we think is. true. at the high. of his career he served as technical director for n.s.a. group a branch that was reportedly responsible for eavesdropping on the world today he estimates that the n.s.a. has secretly compiled and stored more than twenty trillion files of e-mails phone calls and other data belonging to u.s. citizens when it comes to social media he says even users with the strictest security settings are not protected the reality of that is that private all. the

companies don't have. either of them or they share with the unobstructed sharing of information is what's made half a billion people flock to social media sites like twitter but missing from the terms of agreement is the monitoring that can be taking place as citizens are bursting their short messages into the virtual world we're in important i.r.t. new york. and ahead on the program a look at those two certainties in life death and taxes and how they learn to doesn't apply to the world's super rich. and covers the wealth is to lead grading taxes lining their pockets with enough money to cure many of the world's. the rich poor divide gets why the desperation takes over as another israel is set himself on fire committing suicide and protest his government's policies.

scenes of violence have become common for a debt ridden europe where. spilling onto the streets but now it's milk that's being spilled toxic by farmers desperate to draw attention to that cause and they're doing it right outside the european parliament to make their point. milk farmers have sprayed their fields with millions of leaders of milk in protest stormed any peace in strasbourg. that year after year they feel sometimes their voices are not heard when those policies are to the disadvantage and therefore they feel they have no choice but to take their voices all the way to ruffle. quite literally as hundreds of farmers from across europe tractors and cow statues in tow tested against dropping milk prices and were lobbying lawmakers to take their interests into account in reforming policy yeah that's probably

a supermarket that they. are saying how. low the price will be it's the big supermarket chains one day banking and energy giants the next day well critics say those who end up getting their way in the end are almost always the big guys with deep pockets commission as a whole consults much more with big corporate interests. than with all other kinds of interests in society they lead to very unbalanced decisions that are not serving the public interest in a recent report found that in the e.u. commission straight enterprise department expert groups that give crucial policy shaping advice are made up mainly of corporate representatives while farmers for example have a tiny zero point one percent share of the voice. and they hope this adds a bit of volume to their cause in the moccasin it's always

a good idea. whenever a proposal you have to come to brussels and to organize a protest if you if you do it of course in a peaceful way but instead the sign of democratic health but one of the biggest corporate lobbies in the e.u. finds no fault in business as usual a decision or a. policy which is sort of biased black or white into either totally environmental or totally corporate interests it's not exist yet these people would certainly disagree they say in the end it's hardly ever the people who persistently take to the streets that run the real show. does or steal your r t brussels. the world's super rich are hiding over twenty one trillion dollars in tax havens a giant black hole in the global economy the figure comes from a recent tax transparency report which suggests hidden money from the elite in

designations could be enough to significantly improve their finances the report's author james henry says the loopholes and tax rules that the wealthy is tied to more cars. i think one of the ironies is that some of the biggest players in this. scene in the street are major banks that received a lot of government assistance in the bailout of the top ten banks include five u.s. banks that received billions and billions of dollars meanwhile there are you helping the richest people on the planet park their assets abroad and invade taxes so you know there's a there's a real policy problem here we have to cut county gristly this sort of higher industry once and for all you know this example of tax evasion so powerful example where you have relatively tiny group having its way with democracy basically having too much influence or the pass laws of course is that was all from that so that you

know this is a real challenge to our system as well as to our economy has been a lot of rhetoric of. cracking down on secrecy jurisdictions but i think this has been disappointing two thousand and nine we have the g twenty talking basically about trying to crack down on so-called secrecy jurisdictions where a lot of this money flows nothing has been done really nothing substantial. and don't forget all the stories we're covering hail and also here also on our web site and as always plenty will see online play curfew not be heard at a company to contaminating the fukushima plant or the current courage in its workers to record a fake raising a sure reason. to big bottles in the big apple in new york's malaise calling buying their favorite soda drinks in the lodge containers but also the steam cutting is trying to prove they really couldn't find a way to consume other brides this program is on line for you that's

a. good laboratory to mccurry was able to build the old most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything jim's mission to teach me the creation of why you should care about humans and worry that this is why you should care watch only on the. down low the official ante up location on the phone on called talk from the top story. on the go. video on demand all keys my old calls an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the dot com.

to the. mayor in more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers to the future of food under the microscope. we've got the future covered. welcome back and let's now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour in the you are on the high end police officers have been placed on paid over their alleged role in the fatal shooting of an armed man the local chief of police the reason all the shooting is under investigation and these students lead to violent clashes

between officers and raged witnesses who stormed the police department on sunday morning. least thirty seven people have been killed by the heaviest rain and six decades in the trying to ease capital bay training the restart house called one spread calles flooding major roads and streets around the picture thousands of people have had to be evacuated from their homes and more than five hundred lives have been cancelled. i will try using all the veteran and social justice protester has set himself alight in israel is the second such incident and fix that attempt in a week with the previous one coinciding with massive rallies against government policies and. has a public housing activist and a regular demonstrations says the leadership is ignoring its citizens' cries for help. i think what people are feeling is despair and this is what people are

trying to say to our government people are dying here every week people are committing suicide they do it in their homes they're doing it far away from our eyes but this happens here all the time people are not dying here of hunger but they are dying of despair binyamin. throughout his political career has always had a new liberal economic view which is pro privatization which is the whole idea is that poor people have to handle themselves. and this is what we have seen and throughout his career so i am not surprised that binyamin netanyahu is not answering us very quickly i am surprised that our minister of housing does not understand that either he gives real solutions to people or he should resign from this government. next hour the focus is shifting from social turmoil to political

problems in the zero with the conflicts dance lasted for decades debated and crosstalk. i'm palestinian my parents were born there my grandparents are buried there my great grandparents are buried there i would like you to tell me why you a new york born white jewish man with no apparent. personal family ties beginning with your parents and going for why do you feel you have more rights than i do to live in that land or my parents who can't even step foot there. just answer that question. if you want. time now to cross over to the business to ask the tough assassin those tools that greece may no longer receive financial aid from the european union is that right well actually there's

a lot of talk about their meeting later in out then so we'll bring you all the latest as soon as we have the results there but yes you're absolutely right that is a possibility let's see what's going on in the equity markets this hour asia is in the red following an avalanche of bad news mainly coming from europe on sunday the german press reported that the international monetary fund may stop sending money to greece as its austerity program is proving that effective on friday spain old soul lowered is to g.d.p. estimates for this year next year and for twenty four you know the bad news for europe obviously this hour as you can see tokyo's nikkei is shedding more than one and of percent a recurring yen is failing to help exploiters as so often does banks are dragging hong kong down and losing more than two and a half percent this hour now speaking of banks j.p. morgan chase c.e.o. jamie dimon has bought the bank's stock worth about seventeen million dollars he

hopes this will convince investors that the worst of the crisis is over for j.p. morgan has lost about seven billion dollars last year but it managed to post a five billion dollars profit in the second quarter of this year now let's see how the european currency is reacting to all the news coming from europe and it's trading fly too negative to the u.s. dollar this hour and it has had an eleven you a low against the japanese yen that's after spain's of the lens the region has asked madrid for financial aid that's obviously fueling concerns that the europe. crisis is deepening and the russian ruble on the opening is trading lower against the major currencies notes let's now see how the russian markets opened and we're seeing losses there in fact major losses considering that the r.t.s. is already down more than one and a half percent within the first twenty minutes of trade funds investing in russia

lost around eighty one million dollars last week as investors flee from the assets they consider risky we're seeing capital outflow for a third month in a row and crude futures a slide more than one dollar for both. and the rant on monday also own concerns mainly about the health of the european economy but traders also worry that china the world's second largest economy is slowing down as well which is lowering an energy demand going forward now staying with the energy sector b.p. wants its russian joint venture t.m. gave b.p. to pay one billion dollars in dividends the ideas surface that the first board meeting in more than six months meetings of february and may did not have the warm so the shareholders left without the payments the proposed dividends would net b.p. five hundred million dollars and on to other news soybean and corn

futures trading near record highs as the drought in the united states is really devastating the crops the organization of economic development says high food prices are here to stay in fact in about a decade you can expect to pay about twenty percent more for your average meal economists say a boosting global food output is pretty much impossible so instead they call for increased production artie's tom has been figuring out how to achieve this. we're talking about the future of food so one. precisely how i decided to come to a chicken farm well if you want an insight into the future of food in the coming decade you could do a lot worse than come to a place like this the o.e.c.d. and the food and agriculture organization have published an outlook of the future of the world food market in the next ten years the main themes of that report

supply and demand sounds boring but both of those undergo major changes first of all demand the world's population is still increasing combine that with the vast increases in wealth in the developing world people across asia and elsewhere want more food and more meat in their diets because they can afford it that's where chicken comes in it's easy to produce involve quantities and a lot of efficiency has gone into it that means that it's going to make up a lot more of people's diets up to perhaps thirty percent along with other food sources that people want more of going on to supply there simply isn't enough land in the world anymore that means people are going to have to increase productivity on the land that already exists the overall conclusions of the reports are that the demand for higher quality food more meter things in people's diets means that it's simply going to have to get more expensive. well now that we know that food is actually getting more expensive it's really wrapping up the whole business bulletin
