coming to live at ten pm moscow time washington stepping up plans for a syria without president assad and getting ready for worst case scenarios too including a possible chemical weapons attack us foreign policy chief hillary clinton has pledged a further five and a half million dollars meantime in aid to syrian rebels during a visit to turkey it brings total funding to the opposition to eighty two million since the conflict began last year in istanbul clinton received a far from warm welcome riot police clashed with turkish antiwar activists from a leftist party who were trying to reach the building where she was to me promise to air they were offices responded with batons and tear gas at least five people were injured there ankara recently stepped up threats to weigh in with force in syria if it feels threatened from across the border activists and journalists on the part told me that by supporting the rebels the us is only adding to the violence. there's been some discussion of the possibility of a so-called black ops chemical to. where some of the u.s.
2:02 pm
agent forces that are on the ground in syria fighting the government would launch a chemical attack and attempt to lay the blame for that on the syrian government mind i think that's a real possibility and very dangerous game to play you are on the one hand creating an enemy that has no state ties really isn't almost silent anywhere and that just is highly weaponized very angry and extremely religious the conduct of the war against the government on the soil where the syrian people live obviously cannot bring peace to the syrian people it's intended to provoke a response from the government the government has the choice of either not responding and allowing armed terrorists to blow things up to blow up their troops and to blow up and execute civilians all of which has been happening or to fight back which of course means that there are parts of the cities that get bombed and there are people that are displaced these two choices are what are being presented by american policy in syria. the u.n.
2:03 pm
chief meantime has backed the presence of international monitors in syria which provided partial means of accessing the situation on the ground the observers extended mandate expires in less than ten days with a veteran algerian diplomat tied to become the new u.n. and arab league envoy kofi annan quit peter all of a. 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 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
2:04 pm
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 better he means 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 where one of the sons of the king of jordan. strong family ties their 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 focusing our 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
2:05 pm
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 me the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria. our correspondent peter all over katter's reportedly tried to bribe the syrian ambassador mauritania allegedly promising a million dollars and political asylum in exchange for defection the syrian diplomats thought to have turned down the offer calling it flagrant interference in syria's internal affairs middle east history and politics professor jeremy salt says gulf nations are using their huge financial clout to help topple the government of president. what about the gulf states is they have in the supplies money. to buy people out and this is the first question that should be asked of all these defectors how much they pay you how much do you get and there must be some kind of sliding scale i mean what is the ambassador worth what is a foreign minister worth what is a kind of a low level representative mauritania worth i mean he was reportedly been given or
2:06 pm
offered one million dollars plus twenty thousand dollars a month for the next twenty years which you know is pretty good but one would imagine that people would be offered even more than we know what the beginning of this whole purchase move in the qatar is a bribe. the foreign minister tried to buy him out you refused he just rejected their offer so it's very kind of important part i mean anyone who's now high up in the syrian government if they want to kind of effect begin to get a lot of money to shore and they can go live in doha which might not be too advanced tastes but they will certainly get a lot of money if they turn their backs on their own governments coming up here on r t the fallout from the revolution in egypt few remaining jews fear escalating threats from the country's new leadership as cairo's relations with israel south of the report coming up and keeping the internet safe and free but is it really possible to achieve both we investigate in a few minutes. washington says it has visibility inside iran's nuclear program

2:08 pm
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 what's important here is while israel is weighing this option we know of course that iran continues 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

be great britain united states france germany 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. or britain are case studies in how not to regulate the web you can see the different countries use different tactics whether it's copyright laws or cyber security laws or just using national security as an excuse to go after for screech crease speech may be enshrined in america's constitution but in a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the keystrokes of u.s. citizens are increasingly under suspicion if you see something say something according to these f.b.i. flyers anyone with a passing interest in personal data security could be a potential terrorist report suspicious activity of the authorities.

control the hands to most of the most high tech specially. those you know it's intellectual property out there and they don't know the people testing it if i did something wrong with it there's always a constant tension in not just american families that are around the world is that you have food 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 who is very big when i was his sixty's and seventy's it's come back now again and people are starting to do things themselves again in the room you know actionable isn't your meat 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 that's eaten g.m.o. corn it's not directly consumed by humans but it's indirect and down the line the
