top members of the syrian government say political transition in syria can only be achieved through dialogue at a meeting in moscow they say as russia walls against democracy imposed by force. attorneys say they're being banned from talking about torture and silence that's military tribunals are the pretrial hearings for five september eleventh terror suspects are to begin later this week. and google denies any accusation is a bribe to bloggers to make them support the web giant in a high profile court case. news from russia and around the world this is our see with me thanks for joining its first syria's deputy prime minister says foreign military intervention would be

an infringement on the right of the syrian people to decide their own future the colemans came after a meeting with russia's foreign minister in moscow to look at a political solution to the ongoing crisis but as i listened cough enough now reports western media came up with a rather different picture of what was actually discussed. i want to play to you something that the syrian deputy foreign minister had said during the talks that was grossly missed interpreted and exaggerated in fact in some of the news headlines there are. recommending resignation as a condition before conducting any dialogue means that you can't attend to the matter at hand the dialogue can discuss any problem i don't we are ready to talk about anything even question can be discussed but a resignation before any mechanisms in place for the syrian people to express their opinion is

a democratic approach. plus you can see here right there which i was talking about is the need to remove any kinds of precondition such as for example other requirement to present bashar al assad stepping down before some sort of a peaceful solution could be negotiated but that is not what was reflected in the news coverage of the talks on tuesday between the the syrian delegation and the russian government of course we do it to keep in mind that the press conference that had taken place was in arabic was later translated to russian and then into english but what this really serves to highlight is that the lack of accurate information and balance information coming out about the eighteen month long conflict i also want to bring into the discussion the example of the level as the battle continues to rage in serious second city several news outlets have reported for example what one the free syrian army spokespeople have said that they have taken the trolls are really trying thirds of the level of the syrian government of president bashar al assad has claimed disputed those claims and what all of this really serves to highlight is again the lack of balance information coming out

about this conflict there really needs to be a middle ground in this escalating conflict what we're seeing instead is a sort of black and white paper trail the trading of barbs sort of the lack of ability for the different sides to come together to really move this forward and a diplomatic way another thing that's really not helping. the potential of a peaceful negotiated solution to the crisis is some of the language that we see coming out of the united states as a plate on monday because president barack obama had really caused quite an international stir when he said that the movement or use of chemical or biological weapons by the government of president bashar al assad could trigger would cause the u.s. to reconsider its opposition to military intervention this of course goes completely against what sergei lavrov has been continuously calling for which is unilateral action by any outside power that this is a conflict that needs to be really resolved from within unilateral action by any

country outside of this poncelet will only make matters worse the russian foreign minister had said that it looks like there may be a willingness to discuss a potential solution to the conflict in a diplomatic matter but many factions both within and outside of syria would not wish to see a peaceful resolution succeed so it really remains to be seen whether there will be a way out of this conflict that doesn't further make this ongoing war even worse pastor. and executive intelligence review magazine lawrence freeman says moskos stance on syria's helping prevent extremist groups from getting a strong foothold in the country right now i think russia is playing a very positive role really saving all of us because they have made it very clear that they will not support it an operation that goes around the u.n. and with the call by the pla missy and this is actually the off the obama susan

rice tony blair crowd the idea that we should move fifty to sixty thousand troops into syria to protect weapons chemical weapons is a pretext for overthrowing the government and the danger of syria conceding at this point is you have a bunch of terrorists and no attempts at all different varieties. who presumably would take over the country and that would be far far more dangerous than what we're seeing now so my hope is that the russians and chinese and other good forces around the world will step in and not allow a regime change to take place well guarded takes over with support from the united states go that would be the worst possibility. the internal conflict is quickly growing into a regional one and later this hour we take a look at how you might be feeling the effects of the crisis on its southern border and many are it's now believed that anchor is links to the syrian rebels out by the

firing of ring of the story in just a few minutes. attorneys for inmates had to go on time i'm a big say they've been banned from bringing out this subject of torture in court and they also claim that a number of other legal restrictions are stopping them from building a proper defense in a case that could result in the death penalty pretrial hearings for five prisoners accused of nasty minding and launching this september eleventh attacks are set to start later this week that marie important reports. that as the saying goes everyone remembers their first one time and will be closed no later than one year from now and us president barack obama's first executive order delivered on a promise cemented over the years as president i will close guantanamo reject the military commissions act and it here to the geneva conventions i've said repeatedly that america doesn't torture and i'm going to make sure that we don't torture nearly four years after america's change took office one hundred sixty eight

detainees are still being held at guantanamo awaiting their day in court before a military commission but even then the obama administration will not allow them to testify about the alleged torture and harsh interrogation techniques some claim to have suffered according to the government there is no scope to admit to the evidence to defend its account of his torture in the course of treatment the government's justification for that is that disclosing that information in court could be damaging to u.s. national security interests at a pretrial hearing at guantanamo bay the defense attorneys will challenge u.s. secrecy rules and a litany of other restrictions that experts say undermined the right of detainees to receive a fair trial and defense counsel may want to communicate or send a letter you know provide the current updates on news information to inform

them of certain things that that may apply to their case and every one of those pieces of correspondence is then run through a vetting system where the government is reviewing all of that to determine whether or not it's proper material the confidences are being contaminated directly by the u.s. government over the years the u.s. military has gone as far as dosing detainees with high levels of psycho tropic. drugs according to reports released by the pentagon prisoners were forced to take mind altering drugs often against their will before being interrogated a story first broken by truthout lead investigative reporter jason leopold what the inspector general said was is that detainees were interrogated while they were on drugs that is known to produce or will end up producing unreliable information

so then you have the government going into the d.c. circuit ok and arguing that all of the detainees statements are true critics accuse obama of following in the footsteps of his predecessor george w. bush by continuing a system that revolves around censoring defendants in the name of national security this is not a legitimate process how do you prosecute someone cheney years after the crime when you have full control of their body and the evidence for that and entire period of time nearly eleven years following the september eleventh attacks the us military commission is set to hear the first set of arguments in preparation for the trial of five suspects the u.s. president meanwhile is campaigning for his second term apparently forgetting about the monumental promise he made when beginning his first marine aboard i am artsy

new. and of course this is only the latest and here is a long standing concern of the lack of jew prices and going ton of money the former chief prosecutor that colonel morris davis explains what caused him to leave his post. what really put me over on the other side was being compelled to use evidence obtained by torture i think folks could make a an argument whether it's morally justified to engage in torture to collect intelligence to maybe prevent an attack this eminent but then to take that same information and hand it over to me and say ok now use this as evidence in an american criminal proceeding to obtain a conviction a potential potentially a death sentence was just a step too far and so rather than go forward with tortured evidence i chose to resign. this is our c.n.n. says account of the program the diplomat six parts of it cheered and continues but aquittal saying it could take the issue to the ones international court or the

were open as you all come a blind eye to the border man who was firing into syria was always the risk of course your horse will smile while. there's also another. mind is the risk of religious extremists and his rudeness from the men who don't necessarily recognize any water between syria and turkey who don't necessarily want to create a culture state she wish to create a kind of county and they've probably have no great chance to do so they could calls and have called the one who trouble in other countries who cause trouble sometimes well there are reduced to minorities who get into he said because along the border. and some other international news abbrev rise the spillover from the syrian conflict continues in lebanon at least seven people have been killed down thirty three wounded as gun battles raged overnight in its northern city of tripoli armed forces have been moved to the area in an effort to

a story. and the never ending patent war between tech companies there are no hostages from apple to samsung microsoft to a.o.l. and as you can see by this rather confusing chart right here it seems everyone has a stake in the industry of the future and that brings us to this oracle versus google the biggest case in tech and it just got a whole lot more interesting with billions on the line and the future of technology development at stake a u.s. court has ordered google to disclose any of the names of authors bloggers or journalists that may have been paid to quote report or comment on the case but let's take a step back and explain how we got here the entire court case hinges on a claim by oracle that google owes the company upwards of a billion dollars for using certain technologies in their popular android platform after an initial decision siding with google oracle promised to aggressively appeal the ruling and has been in attack mode ever since that brings us back to now judge

william alsop wants to know exactly which journalists and bloggers the two companies have been paid to tip media coverage in their favor citing concerns that the evidence presented over the course of the case was directly or indirectly influenced by financial compensation so after failing to comply with the original deadline google now has until august twenty fourth oracle on their part admitted to paying stanford law professor paul goldstein as well as foss patents tech glore blogger florian mueller calling him a paid consultant he coincidentally also has known ties to microsoft google however struck back at the court stating it did not pay off anyone adding there had been zero quid pro quo arrangements made despite this the pressure is still on google to provide the name of any contractors consultants or employees that might have covered the case so at the end of the day it looks like google might have to confess who had paid for its positive press however it's not just the money and

allegations of copyright infringement it's the notion that media can be bought and sold to the highest bidder and yet another stark reminder to always always question more party. and generous professor at georgetown university christopher chambers believes there are huge questions over google's conduct in the case there's been a jury verdict in the copyright and patent actions this is after you know the smoke is cleared and this judge is doing this it's it's utterly utterly. unprecedented i do believe in there where there's smoke there's fire thing and because oracle who'd lost you know who was the plaintiff you know had you know one or two people that they said they had dangling there must have been something there must have been some of camera as they say in latin to the judge that you know something was going on here or he just looked and saw you know article upon article blog post upon blog post lining up you know in google's favor and said there's got to be something

going on here i don't think this judge is either a moron or crazy so there there's there is fire there somewhere. and if you have missed some allow stories you can always find them online well whatever you wanted at home like a failed experiment but japanese government allows a phishing ear they distrust because shame a nuclear plant they can't bring some worry. the debates dividing germany criminal charges are filed against a rabbi in barbaria for performing a ritual circumcision so do you go to r.t. dot com or they tailor. download the official application so choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites from our. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v. all you need is your mobile device watch r t any time.

despite recent economic reform sound forecasts project spain is set to slide deeper into recession the country's difficulties have seen thousands of people rally or repaired of many months but then no the only one is suffering as ours has alexei our shops case playing. for several months thousands of spain ers have been protesting loudly and angrily as the government's austerity measures spark rage among those who feel those cuts most painfully the recently published financial forecast for twenty thirteenth suggests that should madrid stick to its current financial policy things will be looking even worse for the pensioners and the unemployed. but while these people can stand up for themselves these four legged fellows cannot voice their discontent since spain plunged into an economic crisis

horses have also become its victims this looks healthy now but a month ago he was barely alive he is the only survivor from a herd of more than ten seven more dead bodies were recently discovered by workers of this animal shelter in madrid they get absolutely the number of horses we have to care for has increased dramatically with the crisis people can't afford to keep them that's why they dispense with them find a mentor about condition owners did their own excrement and drink green water to survive keeping one horse costs around three hundred euros a month something many private families and horse riding schools cannot now afford price are often being sold almost half their value for seven thousand euros instead of twelve c. boy this last us we're losing money is good if we can please cover our expenses and we're afraid we might have to sell our horses to slaughterhouses if we don't find the means to survive and that is exactly what thousands of horse owners have done

since spain plunged into recession this year the horse meat industry registered in increased input of percent thirty. and. horsemeat is not so popular with spanish consumers so it is usually exported abroad to countries like bill germany france and russia about eighty percent use for human consumption twenty percent is processed into animal food this shelter hasn't seen any state subsidies in for months but private donations ensure its survival expired groceries from local markets may not be much of a delicious treat for these horses but it's better than becoming food for someone else as austerity measures continue to strangle spain many of these once loved animals will most likely pay for human economic mistakes. ski r.t. reporting from madrid spain. and time now for business with daniel good morning

before w t o membership the country was receiving approximately around three three and they have billion dollars worth of investment after w t o accession this figure went up two to three full but this is really up to each country to decide how much it can try to reap from w t o accession because obviously w.t.r. accession benefits the pound also the accompanying policies of countries and their companies argentina this week while the w two complain against the european union i can be w. chill sensually be an effective mechanism of resulting trade disputes yes so far actually one of the more efficient parts of the operation of the w t o is precisely in the sphere of settling disputes and this is something bad russia

could certainly use after w t o accession especially in an effort to lift restrictions against russian steel exports for example and the exports of chemicals there are almost one hundred restrictions currently now in existence against russian exports abroad. the euro study in early asian trading off to hitting seven we rise in the previous session investors still waiting to see if the u. e.u. will move to stem its dick crisis biggest jump in a fortnight in moscow on tuesday with the rising almost three percent we'll give you the first figures in two hours time street finished a low on tuesday would be a simply retreating from four year hoy's dragged off to failing to settle a costly pay to this business and asia is heading lower as we japanese trade reports dumped in sentiment us we've got for you this hour you know we'll have more on chinese situation nextel they are identical thank you very much indeed well
