clashes in istanbul with first houses angry at hillary clinton's visit hope promises and not the five and a half million dollars to the syrian rebels as she discusses plans for a future without president assad. syria's rebels plan abide by in key parts of the country's second city of aleppo while the one finds the observer mission with a veteran algerian diplomat tottered as the new peace and order. and that you want so that's all i have to tell ranchos there's no new player but in the works yet but a leading paper reports that an israeli strike on iran could be imminent.
11:01 am
new song russia and around the world this is our she was me you know our thanks for joining us first washington stepping up plans for syria as opposed to assad future and getting ready for worst case scenarios including a possible chemical weapons attack u.s. foreign policy chief hillary clinton isn't turkey has uncorrupt steps up threats to weigh in with force if it feels threatened from across the border washington has also pledged a further five and a half million dollars in aid to syrian rebels bringing to eighty two million its total funding to the opposition says the conflict began last year rise police clashed with protesters from a leftist party trying to reach the building where clinton was meeting prime minister added on and police responded with batons and tear gas and at least five people were injured middle eastern history and politics professor germy saud says her visit is nothing but a part of the us propaganda campaign. this absolutely knows just. by anyone that
11:02 am
chemical weapons would be used will be will be given to his bullet which is obvious just this is all part of a propaganda to try to kind of discredit the syrian government that he clinton came here gloating over three of the watching the murder of some of bin laden and the capitation of the syrian government you know the problem she has and allies have is a place for every syrian government the last eighteen months none of it is what they expected that. would report in a few months at the most and he's still there the syrian army has not obvious integrated they've supported the so-called free syrian army plus other groups they've trained them uniform them on them i've paid them they have kind of sponsored attacks in all of syria's major cities. and could be seen in all kinds of activities across the country if nothing has worked so one of their options to keep doing what they've been doing already to provide the rebels with more weapons and actually intervening sending troops across the border pretext they want to create
11:03 am
a humanitarian corridor or something else that you're really going to mention the humanitarian crisis which of course the friends of syria have very much kind of developed over the last eighteen months or it could question could be another reason for sending troops across the border into syria behavior shifting here has got to be done by the united states by turkey and by other members of the collective calling itself the friends of syria the u.n. chief the presence of international monitors in syria which would provide impartial means of assessing the situation on the ground that service extended mandate expires in less than ten days what the veteran algerian took on last had to become the new you are arab league envoy kofi annan quit and his honor. it's not a job many people would have wanted you think considering the situation in syria but it's that lakhdar brahimi will be taking over from kofi annan as the next special envoy on the syrian crisis now the seventy eight year old former algerian
11:04 am
foreign minister does have pedigree when it comes to dealing with serious conflicts he was instrumental in forming a peace in the late one nine hundred eighty s. in the lebanese civil war in two thousand and one he was sent by the u.n. as the envoy to afghanistan as the united states invaded the country following nine eleven he was again sent to iraq in two thousand and three for the invasion of that country representing the u.n. on that occasion but it's also interesting to look at what type of an envoy he will be kofi annan had quite openly spoke to both the syrian rebels and the assad government now if we look a little bit at but our personal life his personal contacts we might see a different approach from him brahimi is daughter of former b.b.c. and c.n.n. correspondent is married to wear one of the sons of the king of jordan. strong
11:05 am
family ties there jordan of course a country that has been linked to the smuggling of weapons and other arms into syria into the hands of the syrian rebels and jordan of course a haven a place of choice for those defecting from the assad government to go so perhaps we could see brahimi focusing attention focusing his attention on speaking to the rebels as opposed to the way that kofi annan tried to do it with speaking to both the rebels and the assad government but it looks like he will take over from kofi annan so it looks like the next envoy going to be locked up or he the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria. meanwhile syrian rebels say they are preparing a counter our target to regain ground at the country's second city of aleppo after being pushed from a cave district by government forces the syrian army is said to be throwing more time to send airstrikes said the frontline there or through the pool so possibly hear the gunfire in the capital damascus the fighting has increased the number of

refugees fleeing the city and the conflict or state the rebels are pleasing for nor for an aid worker rice and promising nearly eight million dollars worth of that syrian activist alomar white house says there's little transparency. a turkish member of the parliament so that ambulances used to clear wounded persons from inside syria into turkey are actually taking weaponry to inside syria it does go back to mr hague statement he said that's communication weapons communication devices will be sent in order to warn civilians against impeding impending tory government attacks who's going to be warning them are there satellite images that are going to be passed to the ground all those communication devices be released into civilian all will be sent to rebels and will be used as they are intended who can guarantee that you can guarantee that body armor is going to be used not to assassinate political opponents in front of t.v. cameras just like what they did with the bernie foley you know we need

with the ring in oil sector as well as shipment and things he's a say trick in their reports. according to a major daily israeli newspaper the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister would like to strike iran as early as before the u.s. presidential elections taking place in november this year now amid escalating media records and expert predictions that such an attack could in fact be around the corner the peepers front page article on friday offered by its senior commentators and reportedly based off of conversations with israel's defense minister says that if it were up to benjamin netanyahu and his minister of defense israel would cause a military attack on iran sometime within the next several months importantly israel's security cabinet ministers have been resisting such an option for now
11:09 am
what's important here is while israel is weighing this option we know of course that iran could. to insist that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes exclusively and we have seen the obama administration be careful in urging israel to stick with diplomacy and now of course the big question is whether israel may in fact go ahead with such an attack and whether or not it will wait for a green light from washington importantly experts in this article are quoted to say that if such an attack were to take place before the u.s. presidential elections there this would cause a major embarrassment to barack obama as well as really cast a blow to his success in these elections because as we know his main rival republican mitt romney has never excluded such an option. and there's always more stories for us all to dot com and here's a look at what you can find out right now ralph johnston's find out what the white house ignored a correspondent on indefinitely detaining american citizens were down. a

dangers from sort of a space critics say every proposal or race destroying web freedom lucic out of has story for us. is hard to argue against protecting young ones from dangers like child pornography that's what russia's new internet law aims to do you by making it easier to remove harmful content from the web it gives the government new powers to blacklist pages even entire domain. bypassing the courts but critics say it could be used for altogether different purposes russia's wikipedia was one of several websites to go dark and protest about militia and it has been using this law to protect children means blocking access to information for everyone including adults and that's not protection that's censorship. he could be three degrees the united states france germany my lawmakers say the bill is on par even weaker than what's on the books elsewhere but for online activists countries like the u.s.

a microphone in everyone's living room so you can listen to all the conversations and what is really bad guys internet freedom advocates help defeat to controversial copyright bills but the u.s. house voted to force private companies like facebook to share personal data with the government and military when it comes to protecting our civil rights and civil liberties we don't usually give government blank check and that's really what these bills have done in a lot of ways across the atlantic britain is on the verge of a web wide big brother and. net and phone providers are reading black boxes to let the government to monitor every email phone call even as this is the first step to government taking control of the internet already blocks web pages it deems illegal but under the digital economy act it will soon and copyright violators to the blacklist anyone suspected of illegal downloads could have their internet cut off. the war over how and who should control the internet in inevitable you're saying yourself well now i understand this internet concept

a lot of the internet is. one of the biggest challenges facing governments of today and matter how well intentioned regulations will always be subject to criticism in trying the line between security and censorship while it may be harder than it seems you see captain of. the u.s. congress is trying to pass one hundred billion dollars a year which also aims to reduce food stunts sold over the next five years but the industry's big hitters such as those making food dominating the discussion ahead of the attrition and health groups and food historian ken says however that the desire for natural products is likely to grow. the people who control the actions and most of the most high tech of specially don't want those you know it's intellectual property out there and they don't know the people testing it the funds of the

global that there's always a constant tension in not just american families that are around the world is that you have some scientists inventing new things for a new flavors and very consistent things like that that go into our food and have other people who say i just don't want this and i'd rather eat whole foods and things that are grown organically or or at least stain of leaf if you think of this search object or you know how our attitude towards changes then we move toward natural food is very big when i was sixty's and seventy's it's come back now again and people are starting to do things themselves again they call their own you know their actual bowls and your meats and the cheese and things like that so this is definitely action against industrial food right now but i think it's going to be the next trend in a major way for the next several years cow or a pig that's eaten g.m.o. corn it's not directly consumed by humans but it's indirect and down the line other things we don't really know what that does ten years after consuming people finds this causes some disease but the government so far has decided that these are

virtually equivalent you know the corn that is g.m.o. in the corn and it isn't. really you don't have to test that g.m.o. corps because the same organs which i think anybody might disagree. and staying with nutrition or do you prefer cheap and easy first food oh taking some trouble to keep yourself healthy with ten saves his resident reporter has been on the streets of new york to see how this came to be mean and green. are you sheep an easy or all organic when it comes to what you eat this week let's talk about that i don't care you don't care so you don't care what you put into your body you. do. for the expense of organic food i mean it doesn't to me it doesn't really make a difference i actually started juicing this year and i found out about it when i was getting a facial and there's a place called free foods right down that way and they have the best juices i've
11:25 am
ever had in my life kale spinach faisal i mean it's like and it's like changing it sounds that listen it's delicious and expensive actually it is expensive but if you think about it a glass of wine is like nine dollars and it costs the same amount why do you think organic costs so much more regulation at least in finland it's really strict on what you can do and how you do it so and the crop is smaller so that's the problem doing doesn't that defy logic shouldn't it be cheaper to eat a tomato yeah yeah. that's the world we live and yeah and a medical doctor is there the day the food is. let's say polluted or where it's not healthy like contains a lot of transfer send someone so on then it can lead to cancer but genetically modified food cannot lead to consummate this nonsense so there's a lot of people that assert it dies why do you think they get away with that but why does jammo have such a bad rap i think it's mainly some kind of propaganda
