over a hundred killed and many others wounded in iraq as militants staging a nationwide offensive after al qaeda revives its plan around the country. the terrorist group also deepens its roots next store in syria with a war torn state now under international scrutiny over what might happen to its chemical weapons. and a public privacy social networks have complied with around a thousand requests to hand over personal data this year alone despite users sending their info.

from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now it's good to have you with us our top story this hour and a wave of terror in iraq attacks explosions and suicide bombings have killed at least a hundred and seven people across the country and left near three hundred wounded the seemingly coordinated assault turned today into the bloodiest episode in iraq since u.s. troops left the country government officials police and army units appear to have been the primary targets of the onslaught and attacks also came days after al kind as new leader in the country laid out a dash of plans for the terrorist cell there here's artie's mideast correspondent paula slayer with the latest. this is the most deadly attack in at least to go in iraq it follows a day yesterday that saw some seventeen people killed 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 qaida in iraq abu bakr gaiety that 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 here dean 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 which is reporting on developments in syria so the questions being are still firstly why is iraq not in the headlines to be extent that's it really is and secondly when you look at the talk currently on the table about whether or not there should be any kind of interference any kind of whiston outside interference in syria that simply raises abalos particularly if we look at what has happened in iraq where there was an occupation for a decade today in iraq we see chaos we see constance triumph we see

a death toll that is constantly on the increase and concern is being raised whether or not the same kind of somalia might eventually play out in syria. international relations professor mark almond from bill cohen university in turkey who says the flavors of rounds bode badly for the whole region. the situation until two thousand and three of course was that saddam hussein had tight control of the country afterwards it was the chaos in space that these kinds of terrorist groups to oppose the american presence there is a danger that the kind of bloody chaos that. will come back and this could also spread across a great present from the mediterranean coast of syria to war with iran and. so we have a very unstable situation and it seems to me that the western states are playing with fire in that we saw you know small scale who i think an astounding one hundred eighty s. response of the radical rebellion lead seem to sit on two of the. michael now in

a much bigger area with much more important resource seems to be the danger of a very severe disintegration or the very least firearms and bloody civil war that huge cost the city of war in a way we in the west and in the wider world of what's happening in the arab world can come across and a page of a great deal or it is really a battle for religious domination between sunni fundamentalists and shiites. well kind of influence is being felt beyond the iraqi border in neighboring syria german the german intelligence apparently claims the terror group is behind almost a hundred attacks there since the beginning of the year fighters are believed to be working alongside syria's armed opposition which is now putting all its efforts into seizing control of the country's largest cities the rebels failed attempt to take to mask if the commercial hub of aleppo now bears the brunt of the conflict army and opposition clashes have been going on there for several days or his socks

on a boy or. art scene was one of the few if not the only for the crew that was able to travel to aleppo 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 virgin's of the genuine democratic movement and pure criminal activity so that the s n l 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 conflict 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 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 your fused to pay the so-called revolutionary tax that the free syrian army attempted to impose on local businesses there 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 aleppo 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. thoughts i was updating what's really going on in the syria conflict on twitter saying that to

mask this rather than are opening their homes to refugees fleeing from volatile areas the latest news of syria is also lined up for you on our t.v. main twitter feed as well. but israel says it's prepared to deal with syria's chemical arsenal if it falls into. regime collapse on monday damascus admitted it possesses such weapons but insists it will only use them if there's a foreign attack some regional experts though think it's more dangerous of israel attains the stockpile. i think we need to define what wrong hands mean here i mean i think weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the israelis are in the wrong hands i think that the syrians are moving caches of of weapons of conventional or non-conventional night sort of within syria that's their own prerogative of as

a sovereign state they have their rights and the prerogative of moving their weapons wherever they want at the same time if that's what the argument as as defending lebanon but then again let's see who is supporting the salafi fundamentalists in syria who is supporting the. fundamentalist thought of being smuggled smuggled into syria i think it's clear that she and turkey aren't doing that so there's a danger of such weapons falling into the hands of these people then there's a culprit that it would be exactly the. united states. and plenty more to come for you this hour here on our team including europe's furious farmers someone through the system and they're not seeing a drop of the earnings report on why they're making a splash outside parliament. on the rich around the

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 ip 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.

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 or 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 marina portnoy r.t. new york. there's more for you on mind of our two dot com including the rage against police over a california killing when officers gunned down a twenty four year old resident because neighbors marched in anger likely to be hit with tear gas and police dogs some on them. and here's what you get if you mix a rats heart cells with silicone it's the world's first artificial jellyfish we'll tell you why this creepy creature could save lives.

europe's dairy farmers are feeling the squeeze they say big business is forcing milk prices down to below the cost of production and they say they're getting nowhere with their employees who they accuse of. following the corporate herd here's our europe correspondent our silly. milk farmers have sprayed their fields with millions of readers 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 protested against dropping milk prices and are lobbying lawmakers to take their interests into account in reforming policy yeah that's probably supermarkets that. are saying. the price will be it's the big supermarket chains one day banking and energy giants the next day the 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 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 and 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 mocker see 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 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 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 say in the end it's hardly ever the people who persistently take to the streets that run the real show you. just are still your r t brussels

maintain that a friendly relationship that we've seen silvio berlusconi established in previous years that sort of deals on all that's what everyone wants to hear in particular we know that italian banks will lend to russia speed to be two hundred seventy million euros and that's to renovate moscow's sports infrastructure also known as nickel and so these tech in are going to run the bait as soulful plant that's located in russia as a far north we have another deal that has to do with it's of these and e.u. and of course a rolls there and basically they've ironed out all the financial details on their deal to develop to oil reserves in the black and barren seas and also we already have analysts estimated that investments into those two shelves will exceed the won a billion dollars well i know the deal with the one billion euros this time around is an investment and so russia is a more caucuses and this is why it's harley and develop ready sonnie the acar and of course it's really is a very important partner for russia just last year bilateral trade increased. what is six billion dollars that's almost we crisis a levels and of course as i said

this is all about their trip was to establish the fact that the friendly relationship but the best the relationship will continue for now back to you daniel and i will be checking in with you throughout the day for the latest and of course in moscow thank you now the world super rich hiding off to thirty two trillion dollars in offshore havens according to a new report the size of the u.s. and china's economies combined it employs on paid tax revenues of up to two hundred eighty billion dollars john christensen from tax justice network which published the report explains some of that money actually did return to these countries now some cases it does but it comes back dressed up with direct investment with all the tax breaks the baggage that comes with foreign direct investment this is a process known as round trip being which happens a lot of many countries like brazil india a lot of the indian and brazilian campbell has moved offshore tax havens and comes

disguised by companies so it's not clear that the world's originated with from india or brazil first place. but certainly 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 to the commodity markets and sometimes real estate markets in europe and north america so a lot of this capital doesn't actually getting gauged in productive activity if it's just chasing rental income what economists call rent seeking i think you see even down to the kind of buying british football team like. let's see how extreme markets are performing this hour because europe is sliding on the back of fresh protests in the euro zone both the footsie index one point seven percent down this hour the euro is me eleven year lows against the japanese yen itself the spain's valencia region of madrid for financial aid fueling worries about the deepening

crisis in europe it's one million dollars have left farms that are investing in russia last week capital outflows for a third month in a row weak economic data have been and corn prices ended last week of record highs as drought in the united states continues to devastate crops the organization of economic development was 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. global food up will be hollowed calling instead for increased productivity ortiz tom bolton has been figuring out how to achieve that. we're talking about the future of food so why is 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 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 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 cetera things in people's diets means that it's simply going to have to get more expensive story lives a bit of more for you next hour that's the business.
