he starts he don't come. more than one hundred killed and many others wounded in iraq as militants age a nation wide offensive just days after all kind of out of five will come back. the terrorist group also deeper into its roots next story in syria with the war torn state now under international scrutiny over what might happen to its chemical weapons. and poke poke at privacy social networks have complied with around a thousand requests to hand over of personal data this year alone that's despite users setting their info to a confidential. seven pm in moscow this is archie coming to you live from nice to now with our top story

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 nearly three hundred wounded this is a really 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 it's actually also came days after al qaeda is a new leader in iraq laid out on fascist plans for the terrorist cell there here's artie's mideast correspondent paul this lier. 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 veto that you may rock gaiety that he would be retaking

strongholds that had been those day 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 that he didn't 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 isn't largely choosing not to report on iraq to the extent that is it is reporting on developments in syria so the questions being are still first me why is iraq not in the headlines to the extent that somebody is and secondly when you look at talk currently on the table about whether or not there should be any kind of interference any kind of waste in outside interference in syria that simply raises abalos particularly if we look at what has happened in iraq where there was an occupation for decades 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. those comments are going to raise counts in iraq jim brann from stop the war coalition says it's all part of a wider power struggle. one way or another we're talking about proxies when we talk about iraq or when you talk about this man yesterday making his statement i think we have to see it see them as a proxy for what they call the saudi interest because there is this this great battle being fought. for control and influence and then one side stands saudi arabia in general. on the other side stand iraq to present the united states as being some neutral party so somebody with real interest would be quite wrong clearly the united states its interest in iraq has its interest in iraq and one way or another is playing them out and i assured

him that the united states would want a situation in iraq which was relatively stable but not out of control which was factionalized which minimized iranian influence for example but they certainly wouldn't want. the problem because that would reduce their bugging. the impact of the swath of terror in iraq will be felt widely international relations professor mark almond milk at university in turkey says it bodes badly for the entire region. the situation until two thousand and three of course was that saddam hussein had tight control of the country afterwards it was chaos in a space of 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 towards iran and towards her

and so we have a very unstable situation and it seems to me that the western states playing with fire in that we saw you know small scale who i think an astounding like the eighty's we sponsored a radical rebellion we seem to sit on top of her interest for 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 final of the civil wars with huge cost the city of war in a way we in the west and in the wider world what's happening in the arab world can come across and if patriots but are afraid of great you know it is really a battle or religious domination between sunni fundamentalists against shiites. as influence is being felt beyond the iraqi border in neighboring syria german intelligence apparently claims the terror group is behind almost one hundred attacks there since the beginning of the year al qaeda fighters are believed to be working alongside serious armed opposition which is now putting all its efforts

into seizing control of the country's largest cities after the rebels failed attempt to take damascus the commercial hub of aleppo now bears the brunt of the conflict our main opposition clashes have been ongoing for several days archies oksana boyko reports. are that she was one of the few if not the only foreign 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 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 to the use of kalashnikovs or any

political games they don't want 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 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 of cases. net beings 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 in the

distribution of forces in these seventeen month long syrian conflict. continues to update us on what's really happening on the ground in the conflict zone on twitter traveling across the country and there's a visit at a military hospital in the capital around one hundred soldiers died there in the last two days and the majority of them are in their late teens and early twenty's and also get the latest news on syria on our t.v. me twitter. israel says it's prepared to deal with syria's chemical arsenal if it falls into hezbollah's hands should collapse despite possessing such weapons damascus insists it will use them only if there's a foreign attack some regional experts though think it's more dangerous if israel how the syrian rebels to tell the stockpile. i think that the syrians are moving caches of of weapons of conventional or an unconventional nature

within syria that's their own prerogative of a sovereign state they have their rights and their prerogative of moving their weapons wherever they want at the same time if that's what the argument 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 are are doing that so of there's a danger of such weapons falling into the hands of these people then the culprit there would be exactly the. united states but any more to come this hour including europe's curious farmers they say someone from the system and their nothing a drop of the earnings report on why they're making

a splash outside the e.u. parliament also. rich people around the world trillions of dollars in tax paradises finds a new report as the result of spending cuts and job losses in the kreutzer is more details and business just up to twenty. but first israel's lax treatment of its own struggling citizens has seen some horrific acts of protest two people have set themselves on fire within just a week. from physicians for human rights points out that the government is increasing funding settlements in occupied territories at the expense of spending on society. it is an issue of priority but it also in the issue of ideology the whole issue i'm not saying security is a non issue it is an issue and we've seen this as an example what happened. about the attack on israelis it's not saying that the palestinian israeli conflict or

iran or syria is not an issue but there are also domestic issues and while it's healthy for an example while the public expenditure on health has been gone down for the past three decades and has put israel in the lowest one of the lowest place compared to other developed countries. i mean public that spends public expenditure is very low in israel as compared to other countries there is vestments in settlements there is just a recent survey saying that. expenditure on settlements on welfare in x. and settlements has been five times the amount that the expenditure on welfare inside the green line so it is a matter of priorities it is a matter of ideology and the whole domestic issue has been. has no. not been dealt with for years israel's push for ever expanding settlements in

the west bank is also the subject of debate nor to use cross talk coming up in under twenty minutes 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 in 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. millions of us turned just social networks like facebook and twitter to share our lives with friends and family but what you might not know is that you could be

giving away your personal data to governments as artie's were in a porn i explained no privacy settings can bar the authorities prying eyes. 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 of 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 was the right for a few more weeks. to decide to begin. if we knew what it was 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 we were told or for the military. that we see everything is not. true. at the height of his career then he 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 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

milk prices down to below the cost of production and they say they're getting nowhere with their m.p.'s who they are following the corporate herd here's our europe correspondent tess our sylvia. milk farmers have sprayed their fields with millions of metres 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 brussels. quite literally as hundreds of farmers from across europe tractors and cows. protested against dropping milk prices and were lobbying lawmakers to take their interests into account in reforming policy yeah that's probably the supermarkets that they. are saying.

the prize 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 their 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 i and j. 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 just one of the biggest corporate lobbies in the e.u. finds no fault in business as usual a decision or. legislation or policy which is sort of biased black or white into either totally environmental 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 so you're r.t.d. brussels and then a look now at some other stories from around the world thousands have marched to the execution capital in protest of the country's presidential election results and wreak a pair let me i'm told one with just over thirty eight percent of his rivals accuse him of buying votes the runner up refuses to accept the official result and is

everywhere asia closed in the red europe followed suit and the e.u. was dropped over two percent in just the first four minutes of trade and of course all this begad after what it comes to russia right the flooding the oil prices and the fact that we had a capital outflow of eighty one million dollars the last number that aren't helping matters but the main problem is europe italian and spanish songs with banks taking major beating as a sovereign bond yields a star opposite in fact we know that and that's really in some major banks trading was suspended for about an hour because of softness the drops and all this comes from renewed fears about the eurozone without palencia suggest that it will ask for financial aid that this comes after and the other status legion said it might have to do the same over the last week and also greece is back in the spotlight after reports in germany suggested that the international monetary fund might stop its aid pavements to the country and it seems to be just one blow after another when it

comes to the markets will know it's a domino effect that in this case it really seems that the situation is go from bad to worse or marina forcing a foolish rush hour traffic in mosco thing. very much worried of course of our correspondent there this chick markets those markets because london will close read in a few minutes on reports spain will last for a huge bailout much bigger than greece's it's boring costs to a eurozone record seven and a half percent hundred billion dollars wiped off the value of the nasdaq in the first minutes of trade as we just heard from marina on the back of your mcdonald's earnings fell on a strong dollar ruble slipped the most on the greenback in two months and the euro's at multi-year lows on rival current. region's possible financial assistance from madrid russia fell sharply off reporting capital outflows for the third month in a row and the world's super rich are hiding up to thirty two trillion dollars in offshore

havens according to a new report shows the size of the u.s. and china's economies combined and just paid tax of two hundred eighty billion dollars john christensen from text 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 as our own 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 campbell has moved offshore tax havens and funds that discourage five companies so it's not clear that the world region is written for 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 investments in 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 if you see even down to kind of buying british football team right now corn and soybean prices hit record the last week of a drought in the united states continues to devastate crops but the organization for economic cooperation and development this point food prices are here to stay they all thought twenty percent in the next decade the economists call for better yields from existing fuels to tackle the problem ortiz tom barton is at the chicken farm with the story. we're talking about the future of food so why precisely have i decided to come to a chicken farm but if you want an insight into the future of food in the coming decade you could do a lot worse and 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 of both of those and to go major changes first of all demand the world's population is still. 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 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
