it's an actual news live from moscow this is our she was me our thanks for joining us first at least eighty two people have been killed in a wave of blasts in iraq in the bloodiest day the country has seen this year they're toxic mostly targeted security forces and come only a day after the new al qaeda leader in iraq wanted terrorist group is returning to its former strongholds there and he also threatens the u.s. with a time and norm that is let's now crossed our middle east correspondent paul it's clear hello there paul it's iraq engulfed in violence paula i can hear it's. hi can you hear me yes we can find time six engulfed in violence can you tell us more about what's happened that no one can see them i want to bring up if i can't find my phone all right of course and we're well bring paula see it later this hour but now let's move on and for more on this story when i joined from oxford by it mark almond and he's a visiting professor of international relations have built in turkey mr ahmed thank

you very much for your time so this huge and bloodshed has come just after the new leader of al qaida in iraq had promised a violent resurgence and there's been no claim of responsibility get but does it look to you that al-qaeda was behind this. so those groups that waged the war against the americans are. using the same sort of tact but i think we also are trying to get by these some fundamental groups of all sort of embraces what's going on in syria at the same time the government of course has been sympathetic to the syrian government not so the opposition has for instance close the border with syria and iran or radical. groups who cross against syria so there seems to be a ration to struggles going on a role who people don't understand that we should be going wasn't something for the small threw off syria so they are not bordering countries with

a similar situation just say you have a sunni fundamentalists insurgency against. the damascus regime allied to show your arm of the of its legs in the years since u.s. combat troops left a rug how would you describe the situation in the country today as compared to the way it was during the occupation and indeed before the u.s. led invasion. well the situation until two thousand and three of course was saddam hussein had tight control of the country towards the possible chaos and save space of these kinds of terrorist groups to oppose the american presence. that began to wind of only the americans produced democracy in iraq but of course the irony if the americans falls that sixty percent of the iraqis voted coppola to use that now one of them that doesn't want to pursue u.s. policy mr leakey the current or minister of iraq was of course a refugee get us out of syria under saddam hussein so we have the situation but in

a certain way the radical islamic groups are engaged in terrorist attacks in iraq running the insurgency to great extent of the south in syria are in no way on the same page as the right states even though only a few years ago they were told think sysadmins find a couple of tracks and so on against the american presence in iraq so we have this very complicated game of international violence international. relations in which for instance america's allies saudi arabia the gulf states are supporting the other sunnis against shiite states and groups because as we know saudi arabia is. where i'm speaking states like iraq becoming a big in the world getting its oil by home stream and perhaps challenging the predominant society very clear so in a way we in the west and in the wider world look at what's happening in the arab world and democrats and patriots but i'm afraid a great you know it is really a battle for religious domination between sunni fundamentalists and shots and it's

what fate won't face do you see for iraq if al qaeda steps up its presence that. well there is a danger that this kind of bloody. will come back and this could also spread across a great presence on the mediterranean coast of syria to war with iran and. so we have a very unstable situation and it seems to me the western states are playing with the car in that we saw you know small scale who are in a stand in the 1980's responsible radical rebelliously seem to suit your view of the plan by michael now in a much bigger area with much more portable source for the seams of the danger very severe disintegration or the very least i'm one bloody civil war with huge cost the city of what i'm talking about the ok i did leader in iraq again he's also spoken about the seaborn uprising and al-qaeda in efforts to oust the assad regime wants

that interest in syria. well syria of course is a country where the majority of sunni muslims but it's true to say that the ruling elite is fortunately our way shiites and christian groups so many of the opponents of a sad it's not just about having a more democratic regime for having a more religiously correct we will salute you but of course i'll call you the seeds so if some of the rhetoric of who you are you get on the web is very much one of saying that there was. something hundred in the school which must be asserted looking at him muslims like israelis or. western who are also against the muslims who don't comport to the correct and very narrow who would miss one of them was you know and that's certainly true of the syrian regime that was very secular more support for its not. going to visiting professor of international relations and. in tech many thanks indeed thank you alright and now we are able

to bring policy out of the pool so can you hear us i hope. yes you can graze all right iraq window and gulf involved and says please update us on the latest tell us more about what's stop and. what is the a string of bomb attacks and shootings across the capital city of baghdad and also north of the capital that have left at least eighty two people dead and some one hundred people injured this is the most deadly attack in at least if you know in iraq it follows a day yesterday that saw some seventeen people killed in just one incident some eighteen people were killed in one neighborhood now we're hearing from a security personnel spokesperson that the target of these attacks is predominantly security and iraqi police it comes just days off to a warning by the leader of al qaeda in iraq abu bakar al but gaiety said he would

be retaking strongholds that had been those of al qaida he would be pushing out the united states and its allies in an audio recording that was posted online he said and i'm quoting and he was referring here to the united states you will see which i have been at the heart of your country since war has only just begun now these latest developments in iraq are parallel to what we're seeing unfolding in syria but it is interesting that the mainstream media is largely choosing not to report on iraq to the extent that it is it is reporting on developments in syria and this is largely because there seems to be almost a preoccupation amongst the mainstream media pointing fingers at the side what he's doing austen how he has come back to putting pressure on him questions are being honest why is iraq not in the headlines and at the same time a more pressing question whether or not what we see in iraq today which will be the result of the beast the dictate of united states and western occupation and occupation that has resulted in conflict and an ongoing violence where they will

not will witness this unfolding in the long term in syria. for a full. middle east correspondent on the latest developments in iraq paula thank you very much. moving on now in syria government forces claim to have regained control of damascus suburbs crushing the rebels most dating up then served on the country's capital since then rest began and it's now the city of aleppo that's bearing the brunt of the conflict with clashes between the army and opposition militants they're running for several days on a boy who is in syria explains the shifting dynamics of the fight. art she was one of the few if not the only foreign crew that was able to travel to aleppo less than three months ago and from what we've seen there i can tell you that is a very peculiar case for this whole syrian struggle no where you can see the convergence of the genuine democratic movement and pure criminal activity so

vividly as in 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 or any political games they don't one democracy to be delivered through these very bloody conflicts through these 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 than to the turkish border that is used to supply all those arms and in the letter you hear a lot of stories a lot of cases of industrial terrorism where shops and factories were sat on fire simply because their owners refused to pay the so-called revolutionary tax 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 the offensive on the left as an operation to liberate the city but the seven dependent media channels syria tribune says that claim as a consequence. liberate the city from its own people that's what we need actually so 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 being the idea of the opposition shield repeatedly to demonstrate in the city to assure their their size in peaceful demonstrations or. battles they reverted to recruiting others from other areas and help them circulate the area in the countryside but not inside the city so far. and our correspondents on the ground in syria do their best to inform you on what's really going on in the conflict torn country via their twitter feeds and also he's a convoy carrying is describing how life in damascus is starting to get back to normal but despite that there is still an impression that there are more tongues than taxes in the syrian capital for her first hand accounts at oksana boyd underscore. it.

let's move on social networks like facebook and twitter has seen many users posting their entire lives online sharing stories and pictures as friends but it seems even the strictest online privacy settings are no match for the spying eyes of governments around the world from new york he's more in a fortnight i explain. in the land of social media users tweet tag friend 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 hackers 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've been writing for you for the week if you were. to decide to begin with you are one of the many 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 your vote for kerry is that we need to rethink this and. turn the key. at the height of his career then he served as technical. after four n.s.a.'s 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. private all. the companies don't have the government doesn't have it some of them have it where they share with the unobstructed sharing of information is what's made half of 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. r.t. new york and there's plenty more to come this hour including a look at the devastating toll the rich poor divide desperation takes over as another israeli sets himself on fire committing suicide in protest of the high cost of living and his government's policies plus. of all the poor get more desperate the rich get richer the world's super of wealthy may be hiding

up to thirty two trillion dollars in offshore accounts that's according to the latest study all the details in the business bulletin in just a few minutes. scenes of violence have become common for death rate in europe where . spilling onto the streets but now it's milk that's being spilled and talked to by a son is desperate to draw attention to the cause doing it right outside the european parliament to make that point all his tests on c.n.n. there are reports. farmers have sprayed their fields with millions of readers of milk in protest storm in strasbourg. that year after year. they feel bad sometimes their voices are not heard when those policies are to their disadvantage and therefore they feel they have no choice but to take their voices all the way to brussels. 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 supermarkets 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 the end are almost always the big guys with deep pockets commission as a whole consults much more with their big corporate interests. than with all other kinds of interests in society it leads 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 a 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 of one of the biggest corporate lobbies in the e.u. finds no fault in business as usual a decision or a legislation 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 see in the end it's hardly ever the people who persistently take to the streets run the real show. does are still your r t brussels. and don't forget all the stories we're covering here are also available at home

there's always plenty north of the on line like a story with a happy landing find out how the pilot of an american at sixteen fighter jet successfully objected to right before the aircraft had the waters of the pacific near russia's karelia islands. and no big bottles and the big powerful new york's mayor is calling for binding the sale of soda trains to large containers but he's teamed kirby's trying to prove the move could violate consumers' rights this program is on line for you at. and let's now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour. in the two hours to anaheim police officers have been placed on paid leave over their alleged role in the fatal shooting i turn around the local chief of police said the reason of the shooting is under investigation the incident led to violent clashes

between officers and enraged witnesses who storms the police department on sunday i . have been protests in japan against their arrival of twelve australia hybrid aircraft a local us marines base it's again provoke sanction of the us military presence of the country the australia has suffered a number of crashes raising concerns over its safety record surveys have shown that seventy one percent of people in the okinawa prefecture are opposed to the u.s. military base there. wheelchair using it on the veteran social justice protester has set himself alight in israel is the second such incident on fifth attempt in a week with their previous one coinciding with a massive run is against government policies and. a public housing activist under 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. later today the focus is shifting from social turmoil to political

problems and these are all the conflicts that's lost it for decades debated it peacefully. i 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. all right time for the business news and that touches here so no touch over to here

while i have an interesting story for you the world's a super rich are hiding up to thirty two trillion dollars and our shore haven that's according to a report by a former mckenzie quantum is that's the size of the u.s. and trial qualities combined it also implies the unpaid tax revenues of up to two hundred eighty billion dollars according to the study russia lost around eight hundred billion dollars to our shores since the early ninety's and to discuss the issue i'm now joined by john christian science from tax justice network which published reports mr christianson thanks for joining you use the official data including from the i am asked the world bank and other banks and you research it says that thirty two trillion dollars in hidden there not sure is that implies an unpaid tax revenue of up to two hundred eighty billion dollars that's roughly one percent no country has taxes that low right. well first of all good morning henry's go to data from across the world has taken many years to do this. let's

look at the can retain a return of capital with a trick worth thirty to a stockpile of so to do trillion dollars of capital the income of that capital is what. at the moment the returns on capital not particularly high. old even the most conservative. kind of investments like go cash deposits so we've taken the very very low rate of return on capital and apply a tax rate of only thirty percent to that so if you're cheating three percent return. and that's being taxed at the thirty percent would yield us something of the order of two hundred eighty billion a year ok even that is the story you. ok that makes sense do you do you have any ideas where is the majority of the perpetrators come from what's the country that's the global leader in terms of untapped private wealth well this is certainly russia's up there at the top but at the very top you have countries like china

india brazil. and many of the countries that have suffered most from rice that is. being shipped off shore to taxation are among the world's i love leading developing countries or so besides the poorest countries in the world particularly in africa and latin america and the large that the victims of these. axioms being the economies of the south and south of the world. does any of this money ever come back to the economy perhaps enter in the in the form of investment of some kind i mean people are sitting on such wealth that could really be used as credit then these uncertain economic times. you know you're absolutely right to be really helped to have some of that money actually did return to this condition in some cases it does that it comes back dressed up as foreign direct investment with all

the tax breaks that. comes with foreign direct investment this is a process known as tripping which happens a lot of many countries like brazil india a lot of the indian and brazilian cavalry has moved offshore tax havens and comes disguised behind offshore companies so it's not clear that the wells originated with from india or brazil first place. but a very large proportion of this capital doesn't come back into productive investment much of it goes around chasing speculative investment on the equity markets of the securities markets commodity markets and sometimes real estate markets in your. america so i'm a lot of this capital doesn't directly getting gauged in productive activity of chasing rental income what economists call rates. even downs of kind of buying for this local teams and stuff like that it's absolutely fascinating thanks so much for

joining us that was john christensen of tax of the justice network and let's now move on to take a quick look at the equity markets and first to europe and the picture there is certainly not pretty an avalanche of bad news is really bringing european equities sharply down let's actually see the numbers there on sunday the german press reported that the i.m.f. may halt pain and sue greece as the austerity program is proving ineffective and that the moment the footsie is losing more than one it house percents now into the equity markets negative sentiment as an effect of the european currency it's shedding against the dollar the russian ruble is losing to both the euro and the dollar and that's all we have time for in this edition of business will be back with an update in about fifteen minutes see about that andy's touches thank you very much indeed for that update we'll see you later and i'll be back with a recount for our headlines in just a couple of minutes. wealthy
