finding rangers in syria is the city of aleppo amid some calls for humanitarian corridors of moscow says the balance is stemming from foreign support to the rebels . the world's top whistleblower might not need to go to sweden up to all that is if stockholm agrees to ecuador's all four to question julian a song in a london embassy instead. and with the olympic summer spectacle only hours away its corporate giants eleven to grab a gold people leaving london this traffic jams and political controversy. and thank you for joining me karen tyrol chew your with our t.v. it's friday and it's ten o'clock here in moscow and almost a week long battle for syria's city of aleppo looks to be entering its final stages

syrian opposition fighters are amassing ammunition and medical supplies while government troops say they're preparing to halt their offensive some states are calling for humanitarian corridors to be set up but as are two socks on a boy the reports there are fears that will be impossible amid the continuing violence. the efforts to put an end to violence in syria or on the country to stoke tensions in this country that depends on your worldview worse still continuing just a few days ago the arab league has called for an emergency meeting of the un general assembly to discuss this meant off humanitarian corridors now in theory the square there should alleviate human suffering and allow for the safe passage of humanitarian workers and refugees but in practice when you look at the map of syria it is surrounded by the countries that are being used to smuggle weapons for the free syrian army we are talking about turkey lebanon on iraq possibly even jordan

just a few days ago the reuters news agency published a story quoting an f.s.a. officer who was boasting about new deliveries of rocket propelled grenades katyusha rockets anti-tank missiles on the top of that refugee camps on the border with these countries being used as a recruitment grounds for the syrian opposition my colleague mario for the trouble to one of them on to lebanese border just a few days ago and she says that people who run these camps make no secret that they provide humanitarian assistance only to the f.s.a. sympathizers so in this context it's hardly surprising that the syrian authorities reject the idea of humanitarian corridors they believe that all these humanitarian talk is here and not their efforts to give a strategic military advantage to the other side also if such corridors were established the syrian government would automatically cede control over

a certain parts of its term tree and they believe that it would seriously undermine their efforts to fight against terrorism now russia does sides with syria on this issue russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has ruled out the idea of humanitarian corridors indic current circumstances when certain countries openly supply arms for the syrian. position or acquiesce to that territory being used for smuggling to get out of also sad that if the west and its regional allies were truly interested in putting an end to violence and stopping plactic they should first start arming the free syrian army government consultant horse dole who has been to syria recently believes despite rebel fighters being armed by their arab and western backers to lose the fight for aleppo the attack on damascus was pushed back very successfully there are now seeing the house chicks in the massacres going on by the army by the

government army and what we have in aleppo is of course a fight for the main let's say production and trade center that is a very serious syria in the survival of the government and as for now i'm quite confident that pushing back of the insurgents come terrorists will be successful that we had an influx of one to. ten thousand fighters from outside syria into syria mainly from jordan and lebanon recently and these fighters have made their way. to the mask because we have a leading group of small attack teams very highly trained obviously and to my best guess with a secret service background sponsored by the usa. so i have for you this hour wore for some show time for others. it's really something that you want to see from oh i

know wreaths weren't always right will be present but there isn't a fraction can see this very factually occupies the media now we were born why a vantage point on the israeli border with syria has become a tourist mecca for people armed with binoculars and cameras. criminals no more the u.s. could make a u. turn on its attitude to hatter's and star and solving them in matters of national security as we report in a few minutes here on our team. there's a glimmer of hope for a whistleblower doing a song after news that a long time demand he's been making which he believes will help refute allegations against him could now be met the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's currently taking refuge says swedish authorities are welcome to come over to question a songe over sex crime allegations a south american country is currently said to be seeking assurances from all parties as to the wiki leaks editor's final destination if extradited from the u.k.

fears if handed to stockholm hell end up in the u.s. which wants him over the release of classified diplomatic cables by his website wiki leaks ecuador says it will decide on whether to grant asylum after the london olympics which ends on this twelfth michael ratner a legal adviser to both julian assange and wiki leaks says ecuador does offer hope to a son. that's positive in two respects it's positive because julian assange made a choice not to go to sweden because he knew in sweden he would be put in prison. not given bail and that it was more likely than not in fact my view is that the american lawyer for julian or someone that it was almost one hundred percent that he was going to be indicted and extradited to the united states never getting out of prison. so the fact that he might be able to do what he has been demanding for almost two years which is to be question in london about these allegations would be

a major step because it means he could answer questions so it's a major positive development it's one that joined us on has been demanding for a long time but despite that demands we refused to in the second respect i think it's our hope that when julian gets an opportunity under the circumstances that sweden questions him that he would be exonerated of these allegations and that would be the end of it he should be overwhelmed first of all that the united states is going after him that you know i'm a man who should be protected by our constitution and the first amendment why if the united states gets its hands on to be put into an underground prison and created cruelly like bradley manning was treated the man who allegedly got access to the documents so he's obviously very worried about that situation and very angry that the united states is wanting to suppress what probably one of the major truth tellers in the world today. all eyes will be on london later today when the

olympics extravaganza kicks off the athletes and spectators have arrived but the preparations for the games have been plagued by countless security traffic and political problems the british prime minister claims the country can deliver many among the public bell seem to disagree artist laura smith reports. it's been seven years in the making and the greatest show on earth is finally kicking off in london but not everyone's please this has come to town in fact according to research by currency exchange firm travelex londoners are fleeing their city in droves people are saying specifically that they want to avoid the olympics you know they look at the streets and they look at congestion and they look at the charges that particular on the london area so they have taken the decision to go earlier a third of people traveling this summer will head off during the games but for

those who stay behind it will be a television only affair millions ended up disappointed in the public lottery to get tickets and it's recently been revealed that hundreds of thousands of tickets returned by foreign olympic committees are being privately sold to corporate sponsors it's provoked outrage but not surprised a lot of tickets have gone to not only the corporate sponsors but big corporate hospitality packages in general is an inevitable result of the way the goings have done primarily for the interests of the rich and the olympics i'm afraid just the epitome of some of the worst things in the world the removal of resources from poor people and giving it to rich people parents drop at station they can be no doubt what's going on the whole place is branded london twenty twelve i'm also surrounded by massive billboards on every building there's an advertisement for one of the main corporate sponsors b.m.w. lloyds t.s.b.

but only. here is the stratford that always was struck. it's full of independent traders who've come up against the big corporate sponsors unlike rich corporates local stallholders aren't allowed to capitalize on this world class event in their hometown edict from the brand police mean they can't even use words like a limp pick summer or gold in their advertising any games related merchandise must be official and according to stall holder daryl that's not easy it's too much for rich we really small businesses we call open accounts with huge companies and that's one x. amount of. you know it's a very small business i would love to but. it's created an uneasy relationship between locals and the games are the corporate monster is such that it's negativity to the games itself which is just a what's a lawyer who people

a bit upset i'm not particularly positive to the caves but is really to see structures will be covered and coated with the corporate sponsorship so from that point of view i don't like it despite the much vaunted olympic spirit it turns out the great is show order isn't for everyone while the fat cats sit back and watch the olympics cash race in the london as the streets seize up because of special olympic traffic lanes and their commuter trains grinds to a halt as they route the day the games picked their city the first thing i did when i heard. one of my good friends in paris and congratulations laura smith r.t. london. thank you head online to r.t. dot com to find out it's not only london getting in on games action today india is

or in more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers to the future of under the microscope. we've got the future covered. thanks for being with r.t.f. fourteen minutes past the hour hundreds of human fetuses found in a forest in central russia may have been removed from a local medical university police are questioning a researcher who was fired last year and could have taken the material she was working on with her however some doctors say the dumped fetuses could even be the product of cloning as archie's sean thomas reports. right now the investigation is focused on two parts first how did these four plastic containers containing two

hundred forty eight fetuses end up in the woods about seventy kilometers north of why and where did these fetuses come from the possible explanation is legal scientific research we do know that all of the fetuses that are in question here were terminated between twenty two and twenty six weeks this is well past of the twelve week mark which is considered legal abortion in russia after twenty two weeks of women can only have an abortion only for medical necessary reasons so is this illegal abortion operation or is this scientific research no one really knows they're trying to get to the bottom of that we talked to one medical doctor this is what they had to say about the subject. this looks like some sort of organs were removed from fetuses to extract distances theoretically can be used to reach people there was a criminal case in ukraine who want to go when we didn't to terminate pregnancies quite late to extract tissue for rejuvenating. there is one woman who was in charge

of some scientific research in the area she was terminated two thousand and eleven police are looking to see if she had taken some of the material she was working with with her when she left and if this could possibly be that material now there are some other disturbing theories saying that illegal scientific research could be behind this find as well in fact this is what one medical expert says on the subject. it may sound a bit. but these fetuses could have been the product of cloning despite its universal ban and that's why they were thrown out like that these were not future human beings but half human half artificial creatures it's a very daring. this might of course have been the product of miscarriage and it's the fetus this could have been thrown out and purpose to create scandal and attract attention maybe attract attention to the ban on cloning humans. to shock people with the science of we've been tracking this story from the very beginning following the developments and the feedback that we're getting is that it touches

at the very core of what people believe in so it's a controversial story it has shocked many people around the world of course we'll be continuing to follow developments online at r.t. and here on the screen as well as they become available. the u.s. could start actively engaging have matters of national security after it was confirmed america's surveillance chief is due to attend the largest annual hacker gathering in las vegas and that could represent a major u. turn on the u.s. government's approach to cyber warfare as artie's marina explains. over the past two years the f.b.i. has arrested and jailed dozens of alleged how curves and or whistleblowers in connection to groups like wiki leaks. anonymous and the file sharing site mega upload but in addition to prosecuting master hackers it appears as though the u.s. government may soon begin aggressively recruiting them now one indication that many

are pointing to is the fact that the head of the u.s. national security agency general keith alexander is expected to speak at the def con conference in las vegas now this event is considered to be the world's largest gathering of how curves and so-called computer geeks in this year an estimated fifteen thousand people are expected to show up general alexander's attendance at def con marks the first time america's top surveillance chief would be participating in this event since it began two decades ago but today in an air of cyber warfare many experts believe that washington may soon begin ploy the same people that they've been jailing if it means that the u.s. government stands to benefit from having hackers on team usa reporting from new york. r.t.

. time now for some other stories making international headlines. police in tunisia have fired warning shots and tear gas up protesters who attacked a provincial government headquarters angry over poor living conditions demonstrators also tried to set fire to the local office of the ruling islamist party after bursting into it last year the country's a long time dictator was driven from power by revolt which sparked the arab spring . and identified gunmen have attacked riot police in the south east of tajikistan wounding four earlier government troops launched an offensive against militants in the area killing thirty and capturing forty after which a ceasefire was announced and talks began in mountain region is still volatile fifteen years after a civil war and its seeing heavy fighting between government troops and militants loyal to a former warlord. thousands of people have rallied in the remaining capital before

us in support of the president who is facing an impeachment referendum on sunday but i am also schools backers believe his opponents are trying to seize control of european union funds however his rivals are claiming the president was meddling and government business people little turmoil began after a new opposition party or came to power in may following the collapse of two pro assessed governments it's. the raging called liked in syria is not just of interest to politicians and journalists it seems but also tourists in israel thousands have been flocking to the border for what they're calling a must see event but as archie's fall asleep are reports what's pain and heartache for some is little more than a photo opportunity for others. up close and personal you don't get basic ringside seats in this this is the israeli syrian border and it's now also the latest israeli tryst attraction feels good to be able to get close to it

a little bit and besides seeing only the items on television i was actually thrilled to come here today to syria to realize that with only a few kilometers and a country unfortunately there are hundreds of people being killed every day it's the perfect spot it seems for war voices keen on getting a glimpse of syrians killing each other all from a safe vantage point the only hard way they carry binoculars and cameras rely on our armed forces that they are aware of the situation and take all the precautions and so i feel i feel very safe you support his family to see where he fought against the syrians nearly fifty years ago the border areas which could erupt again as the free syrian army takes on assad forces near israel but for now it's good business and two guys are making a killing it's really something that you want to see some oh i know we too are

annoyed might not be present but there is an attraction to see the thing that actually occupies the media now it's like you feel you are in the center of stuff the fog was sparked when israeli defense minister who came to see for himself what was going on. here in the border was real fighting in syria and you can hear the moans and sprawling here where one kilometer from the border. cotton couldn't wait to get her jewish parents fled syria in the early fifty's. this visit is a dream come true it's like the promotion because my parents lived there and they told me that they really buried. all the people and that's why we went. some two groups are now thinking of income. they may be day trips now but disasters on who should define to get closer until of choose to get involved. on

the border. all right let's get a business update now home or e-mail so you have more bad news about the u.k. from what i understand what's going on there yes other carol basically its economy relies way to march on europe tell you the details in a second but first let's take a look at international markets will start with russia where trading kicked off a couple of minutes ago and we can see that the r.t.s. m i six are adding extending their gains from thursday everyone's of course that's in stark contrast to what we saw at the beginning of the with what we saw as the losses across the board and of course what's helping it is stronger crude prices which we'll have in just a second let's move on and asia is performing it's also trading right now and there we're seeing gains is the nikkei and the hang sang are adding over two percent in fact the hang seng is almost two percent in the black this hour and there we have record breaking a profit record for the south korean giant of course samsung electronics that's helping to subsume and also the fact that the european central bank says that the

euro zone will remain intact but i want to talk about something else because a b.p. has finally seems to put a lid on its of course or the disaster in mexico and we know that it has come close to finalizing a seven billion euro deal with the u.s. authorities to basically end all the civil and criminal claims and a bushel takes a look at how that might not be enough to settle all the differences of this natural disaster. this is turning into a huge costly concern for the industry scientists here at the institute of oil are trying to find a way to contain what's become an ecological unpublicized. russia spill six b.p. disasters a year from it says one report that's more than any other country even volatile nigeria the african superpowers just point show for its biggest. two years after the world's longest of chill disaster b.p. is nearing a deal to settle all outstanding claims but fishermen affected say it's impossible

to count how much and how long their lawyer will continue to be hit fish of the coast of louisiana being born with disease and missing movements in the gulf six times more dolphins than usual still. this week is the second anniversary of the costliest on shore oil spill in u.s. history protesters shouted the color of the eight hundred thousand gallons of crude oil spilled into the river people will no longer put up with the damage to their health from polluted learned and water but with ever more desperate to put full in stocks of crude it seems the conflict will only get worse then you will show. that in a second look at oil prices back up and we have lies in trading just under nine dollars a barrel and the brand by just one hundred six dollars a barrel and all this comes after a pledge from a european central bank to think we were selling and had said that the euro will

survive and also we have economic reports suggesting growth in the u.s. which is passion that was the largest consumer and the world now ever come along take a look at currencies but now that the ruble is the strengthen against both major parents is the sour i want to come to the skating against the u.s. dollar and i want to stay with us on let's talk about the u.k. and particular because we know that the country has been list of countries exposed to that crisis in europe. new research says it relies sumatran exports to the continent and europe's banking system also there is little britain can do if europe collapses and that's because of strict austerity measures as you can see there on the graph follow the u.k. in this let's stop poland hungary and the czech republic. also many believe that the summer olympic games could help the u.k. get back on track sadly historically they almost always leave the host country with financial troubles greece by the billions to make the two thousand and four games success but now its economy is collapsing one positive thing about the olympics

though is that it increases foreign trade by an average of three percent all right in this what i have in this edition of business for now back to you karen in the studio and thanks for that update marina seen in the next hour. shortly. the u.s. doesn't seem to want to tighten in gun control laws up next an update on our top stories in a few minutes stay with us. question
