iraq's deadliest day of the year ninety three died as a series of attacks target security forces it comes just found to be all right only during the country bred popular surgery. as syrian troops drive rebels out of the capital suburbs fierce fighting moves to upload the country's largest city and the key stronghold president. and status update new findings reveal how government snooping i mean what kind and tweet on social networks can and will be held against your. quote from our studios in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said

now our top story at least ninety three people have been killed in a wave of blasts new iraq in the bloodiest day the country has seen this year but the violence mostly targeted security forces and follows a warning from the new al qaida leader in the country that the terrorist group is returning to its former strongholds there he also threatened the u.s. with attacks are mideast correspondent paula fleer has the latest this is the most deadly attack in at least you know in iraq at what is 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 almost to a warning by the lido i'll cry that you may run abu bakar al bug i.v. that he would be retaking strongholds that had been those day he would be pushing

out the united states and its allies in an already a recording that will. posted online he said and i'm quoting and he was referring head to the united states you will see was a dean at the heart of your country since war has only just begun now these latest developments in iraq not parallel to what we seeing unfolding in syria but it is interesting that the mainstream media is in largely choosing not to uphold on if you run to the extent that it is it is reporting on developments in syria so the question is being on sophistry why is iraq not in the headlines to the extent that simply isn't sickens me when you look at the talk coming to you on the table about whether or not there should be any kind of interference any kind of way stand outside interference in syria it simply raises and i was particularly if you look at what has happened in iraq where there was an occupation quite nice to dictate today in iraq we see chaos we see constant strife we see a death toll that is constantly on the increase and concern is being raised whether or not the same kind of scenario might eventually play out in syria. mark almond

professor of international relations at bill can't university in turkey has warned of a grim fate for the region if the invasion of iraq is repeated in syria if international intervention came to syria it would have the same approach in iraq a key part of it's going to plonk a divided society over a call. into chaos and it opens the door spokes to these radical groups who may not have too much focus support the talk you call bombs the intimidation to try to call out what they see as the truth on the banned list islamic state medical sets against all the muslims and also against the christian the americans sadly in iraq the christians for instance and virtually disappeared as a group because of the stuff about them so the american invasion into very seriously in the country along with lebanon in the middle east that have a substantial christian population but there is

a risk that they would be posted so we would have religious perhaps ethnic cleansing as well as a religious civil war criminal and i think that is the most dangerous for the region because there's no will because boundary to well that would lead to civil war between shiites and sunnis would end. in syria government forces claim to have regained control of damascus suburbs crushing the rebels' most daring offensive in the country's capital since the unrest began it's now the city of aleppo that's bearing the brunt of conflict with fierce clashes between the army and opposition militants they're running for four days now marches like from a boy who's in 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 these whole syrian struggle no where you can see the kind

of virgins of the genuine democratic movement and pure criminal activity so vividly as in on one hand a leper 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 al 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 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 and to the turkish border that is used to supply all those arms and in aleppo you hear a lot of stories lot of cases of industrial term reason for shops and factories for 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 kidnapping zakk carried out not so much for political aims or goals but rather simply for ransom so it 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. well rebels themselves describe their offensive on aleppo as an operation to liberate the city but editor of independent 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 little has shown nothing but great support to the syrian government that the president. this was manifested by

huge rallies several times. the issue the idea of there the opposition shield repeatedly to demonstrate in the city to show they are their size in peaceful demonstrations or. battles and they diverted to recruiting others from other areas and have them circulate the area in the countryside but not inside the city so far. it's on the ground in syria are keeping you up to date on what's really going on in the conflict torn country via their twitter feeds our boys. started to. build an impression of there are more than taxis in the syrian capital.

social networks like facebook and twitter see many users posting their entire lives online sharing stories and pictures with friends but it seems even the strictest online privacy settings are no match for the spine of governments around the world from new york artie's explains. 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 email 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 weekend. to decide to begin. with this mini 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 period. that we see everything. you know. true. at the height of his career binney served as technical director for n.s.a. s m 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 that's not private at all if the companies don't have the government doesn't have it so either of them have it where 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 marine important i.r.t. new york. there's plenty more to come this hour including a look at the devastating impact of the rich poor divide desperate to take over as another israeli sets himself on fire committing suicide in protest of the high cost of living and his government's policy. while the poor get more

desperate the rich get richer the world's super 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 world and just a few minutes. but scenes of violence have become common for debt ridden europe were empty austerity anger is spilling onto the streets but now it's milk that's being spilled a tactic by farmers desperate to draw attention to their cause and they're doing it right outside the european parliament to make their point arduous tests are suing the ports. 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 too nervous and vandals and therefore they feel they have no choice but to take their point that's all the way to brussels. quite literally as hundreds of farmers from across

europe tractors and cow statues in tow protested 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. the prize will be it's the big supermarket chains one day banking and energy giants the next day or 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 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 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. whatever 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 is that 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. policy which is sort of biased black or white into either totally environmental or totally corporate interests 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 cilia r.t.

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. well later today the focus is shifting from social turmoil to political problems in israel with the conflicts that with the conflict that's lasted for decades to bated in peter the bells cross talk. to me and 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.

with i'll cross over to the business that's given me the bombing of an italian italy's premier monti is meeting with his russian counterpart madrid in moscow to talk business i understand exactly and considering russia's special relationship with this predecessor silvio berlusconi will be really interesting to see if the business climate stays just as warm between the two countries monty's and russia with his first official visit he's meeting president vladimir putin and prime minister dmitry medvedev to discuss business projects with a focus on the energy sector and let's not check out the equity markets to see what's going on there and first we go to europe where it's pretty much a sea of red across the board as you can see the dax at the moment is losing more than one and that's three quarters of the sound that the footsie is roughly the

same and basically the banking sector is really pushing the the foot sea down and onto the currencies and the negative sentiment on the european markets and all the bad news that we're seeing coming from europe really pushing the euro down against the u.s. dollar in fact it's trading near a two year low and the euro is also added an eleven year low against the japanese yen at the moment the russian ruble is shedding value against both the euro and the dollar and moving on to the russian equity markets the russian markets are also sharply down in fact the r.t.s. is moving almost four percent really major losses going on there and of course investors a fleeing from all the risky assets namely emerging markets one of which is russia russia focused funds lost around eighty one million dollars last week. we're seeing capital outflow for

organization of economic development says despite the weather high food prices are here to stay in fact you can expect to pay twenty percent more for your average meal over the next decade economists say boosting productivity is the only solution archies tom parker has been figuring out how to achieve this. we're talking about the future of food so why is precisely why 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 in vast 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 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 all and if it gets any more expensive i propose that eating less certainly in the developed world that might be the solution now back to you here and i will be back with an update in about fifteen minutes all right looking forward to it thank you for that update i'll be back with a recap of our top stories just after birth.
