human rights groups. which allow suspects to be detained indefinitely and keeps open the guantanamo bay prison. syrian rebels fire on international journalists including the arabic news crew were covering the ongoing conflict in the country. and most britons want to get out of the european union and keep cash on the courts the prime minister says he'll be fully you wrote skeptic the next election campaign.

thanks for joining us here today i'm live in moscow with world wide and he was around the clock. the u.s. defense act for twenty thirteen has been greeted by harsh criticism from human rights groups after president obama signed the bill into law despite earlier veto threats or the measure allows the indefinite detention of suspects and backtracks on the closure of the guantanamo bay prison and the lower stuns the restrictions on transferring detainees out of guantanamo for another year despite obama's promise to close it when he first came to power activists say he's failed the first test of his second term allowing the military to indefinitely detain american citizens over terrorism allegations without charge or trial civil liberties groups are pushing forward with a lawsuit against the measure which they insist is unconstitutional activist

tangerine bowl in the told r.t. that to her the new law feels like a major threat i bet against an accident is that my government seriously disapproves have. to be supporting wiki leaks if you're in a science and also bradley manning and as you probably are you know many people and our government have to they're going to terrorist groups and do you know so and. so the language is extremely scary and certainly could be used against their will let me and my international team and a veteran congressman dennis kucinich is also disappointed with the new national defense act claiming it's part of a tendency to ultimately undermine democracy. there are great human rights concerns here. that people could be held indefinitely violates a constitutional privilege that people have. we have a constitutional challenge here where not only the national. defense

authorization act but the patriot act and other legislation have gradually moved america away from a robust. freedom to a more limited freedom that is based on proscriptions by the government this is more than problematic because what has always amazed made america america is the fact that we follow our constitution and we protect our constitution and we protect people against unreasonable search and seizure we protect people against being seized without the right to. know the charges against them or a right to an attorney.

or and us national security agency whistleblower william binney says nobody is safe from being spied on f.b.i. has access to the data collected which is basically the e-mails of virtually everybody in the country. and they have at the f.b.i. has access to it all the congressional members are on on the surveillance to it's not no one's excluded they're all included so yes this can happen to to anyone it may be seen. if they are targeted by the government the government can go in with the f.b.i. or other agencies the government can go into that database pull all that they've collected over them on them over the years and reanalyze it also retroactively

analyze everything they've done. over the last ten years at least. one part and i'm sure that i i i believe i've been on it for quite a few years. so i keep telling them everything i think of them in my e-mail so that they when they read it they'll understand what i think of them. i know william binney interview is in full coming up at eighteen hundred g.m.t. that will be just a bit later today. and all of the arabic news crew and several international journalists have come under rebel sniper fire in syria while covering the ongoing conflict there. news team were accompanying the military on a counterinsurgency sweep i want to colleagues was injured while running for cover this is his account. we arrived at the damascus suburb early in the morning to

report on the syrian army operation we were moving from street to street and when we reached the dock my colleagues and i got caught in crossfire we tried to escape running one after another fearing that armed rebels would notice us a syrian army soldier accompany nuss the entire time he constantly kept his on the situation and helped us to escape the gunfire the rebels were firing on us my colleagues and i were wearing bulletproof bass with the word press on them the firing was very intense and it was difficult to find shelter i ran and fell down i hurt my arms but the syrian army doctors gave me first aid on the scene so i could continue to do my job there were many other correspondents there with me including iranians and syrians one of the syrian cameramen was also slightly wounded like me . meanwhile a car bomb blast has ripped through a crowded petrol station in the syrian capital damascus the conflicting reports say

the number of killed was up to eleven with children among the dead dozens more civilians were also wounded u.s. war correspondent russ baker says such attacks a typical of the western backed a rebel fight has a trying to bring down president assad i've covered a few dangerous situations myself over the years and we ality is there is no way to be saved in war time though these are the basic things that we are doing there is we're providing the kind of a gritty tax here for the average person so they can kind of a sort of experience that from the far there's going to be a lot of in the way of covert operations as fonts are by outside parties that have a stake in haste inning some sort of a resolution of the situation there's no question and we this is pretty obvious on the surface that western countries even including my own have stepped up their involvement and want to get assad out as fast as possible these are the sorts of

the thing. things that we've seen historically going all the way back to the coup in guatemala in the one nine hundred fifty s. in iran and so forth these sorts of provocations are very very common i think we're going to see them increase until something or other is resolved there pretty clearly i think the western countries don't want any kind of halfway measures they want out entirely and i think he is not going to do that until the last possible moment. you want you know if you live from moscow on britain with brussels the future majority in the u.k. now want the public is disillusioned with the e.u. membership and prime minister david cameron has promised to enter the next election with a clear euro skeptic position my colleague bill dog discussed it with alex he's probably point. they even use popularity at a very very low amongst the british public at the moment we just had a poll that asked respondents to grade institutions like in school and the european union got an average grade of a d.

plus from the british public that's not very very high now or a more serious note this recent poll it's really marked a tipping point because for the first time in decades the number of people that say that they would vote for a person leaving the european union is the majority of the british public so it's really turning a person telling internation of real euro skeptics at the moment and it's not just the result of one poll we've seen things like for example british support for political parties and to european ones like the u.k. independence party it's at an all time high so lots of bad news for pro europeans at the moment so what is the main drugs that many people are holding against the. well the british public has always been very divided over membership anyway but the past year has been particularly difficult we've seen you know the chronic financial crisis in the eurozone with

a real loss of confidence that grows at the same time at home they have crippling austerity measures so there's a growing resentment towards the vos sums of money that leaves the british treasury and comes straight from the u.k. budget goes straight to brussels every year when very terrible project. it's not just the money there's also the aspect of the control of north that comes from britain brussels that many people want to see returned back to westminster so this . goes to the top of the u.k. doesn't it right at the top of political levels. well indeed david cameron the prime minister has just said that the conservative party is going to be going into the next general election in twenty fifteen as a euro skeptic party is an anti european political party that really shows that you know the government's banking on the fact that the british public is are you going to get more fed up with british membership in and that they're really confident that that's going to happen what about brussels and how is it responding to the way

that britain is giving the cold shoulder transaction what it can't be too pleasant listening to all this negativity about yourself and of course there are reports flying around now that. senior members of the european parliament want to offer britain a junior membership status associate membership and it would in fact be a bit of a demotion whereby britain since its grumbling so much over its membership in the european union it would have much less influence over issues within the european union itself so it's got all the hallmarks of a relationship going quite sour and now it's either going to be a question of who dumps who fluster or not salvageable but with public opinion turning towards britain getting out it's going to be harder and harder to stay in. what is political reporting writing well on a tourist russian businessman is once again in trouble this time though in cambodia so to get a long ski whose t.v.

show brawl went viral just two years ago swept into custody for threatening local sailors that's coming up shortly. and investing in com china paused billions of dollars into tibet in an attempt to quell tension in the rest of region over its rule all those details in just a minute. welcome to the. science technology innovation called the least of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. something. lies beneath. thousands of meters of the ice and broke.

the law. for many. but dangerous even to those who keep it to distance. good to have you with us here on our to today i'm rory sushi i live in moscow just over seven months ago the french place their trust in socialist leader francois hollande giving him a mandate for change but his promises ranging from economic prosperity to allowing for gay marriage are proving harder to achieve than perhaps you may have thought

that actually got a shock you found out people are already losing trust in the new lead. the debate on whether gay marriage should be allowed has split french society for years with protests about the issue often ending in violence with francois oman coming to power the gay community breathed a sigh of relief but it may have been too soon activists say the new law which is going through parliament in january is not exactly what they've been dreaming of but we are. very happy that flow has been introduced by the government to open marriage to same sex couples and adoption and supposedly. medically assisted procreation but we're still very concerned because. people against same sex marriage same sex equality are getting very strong including in the parliament. in the mayor's were obliged to officially register gay couples marital status and

that's where many revolted including francois labelle the mayor of central paris. allowing same sex marriages in france and moreover permitting them to adopt children will destroy the foundations of our family institution if we allow this now the next step will be allowing paedophilia and incest. so it seems in this scenario no side is completely happy which puts the french president and his electoral promise under serious pressure from bringing the french troops back from afghanistan to creating more jobs in france and preventing the country from going into austerity during his campaign to become a normal president francois hollande had made many promises some of which now experts say may backfire against the french leader and if the gay marriage law wasn't divisive enough all on splurged to impose a seventy five percent tax on the wealthy may become another sticking point several

million years have already decided to take their businesses out of france that's called a lot of problems and it does divide the country because a lot of people realize that the rich aren't going so fast as financial problems everybody's going to have to pay france's national programs including socialist voters which of course frost all along when he was being elected gave the impression that. this wouldn't happen the latest polls suggest. he has dropped by twenty percent winning the election may prove to be the far easier challenge than what awaits the french president now with the economic producers for twenty thirteen in france looking far from optimistic he could face an uphill jordan. ski r.t. reporting from paris. now russia's president vladimir putin is second to none he was nominated as the most influential man on this according to us.

losing the first place though to nobody. that means on our website. or your movie about osama bin laden's demise the u.s. with the senate now launching an investigation to determine if. the film's creators about information on the raid. the walls around israel are being extended but the country now building a security barrier on its border with syria israel says it wants to safeguard its citizens from the ongoing syrian conflict the latest construction comes right after of. the border with egypt where the most visible wall however separates. supporters say it reduces the risk of suicide attacks on the jewish state or the. palestinian land. believes israel helping the middle east.

israel has three to recalculate what they are doing in the middle east israel dealing with the middle east as a dominating power and they try all the time to build a wall of walls around them themselves claiming that the people is hating them and they are targeting israel has been harmed the whole region region and the area around around israel they are building the wall around the palestinian areas the clean that is for security what it looked the palestinians in forty percent of the land they built around gaza and they turned into a jail the biggest prison in the world and you know we know how did it was the situation in gaza there are still look you point syria and they are building a wall on the occupied land so they want to keep this london to keep themselves as a key player it's not the solution that you keep building walls you need to do peace with the region you have to write to the people can't build its future on the

expense of the people of the region and that then building walls to protect the to protect themselves walls is not going to protect israel's peoples have rights and they will keep claiming the right israel is even good and pushing it for the explosion we witness in the settlers is attacking the palestinians every day and many villages this is north of the jordan valley is evacuated not by now by the israelis there is severe attack on the people on the south of people on settlers attacking the people in the middle areas so they are russian war on the palestinian people and they want the walls at the end to to bring peace to them stealing the people's land looking them in jails divorced it in their life is not going to bring peace in any way must realize that their years changing and they must they must understand this change that needs for them to consolidate with the people deal with the people i to i don't we don't consider yourself as part of europe or do you

want to isolate yourself and look yourself within the walls from the region you can do that. now the notoriously centric russian businessman surrogate has been arrested in cambodia it's after he and two other russians are virtually threatening local sailors with a knife locked them up in a cabin before forcing them to jump into the sea polanski rose to dubious fame after a video of a brawl on a russian t.v. talk show went viral on the internet in two thousand and eleven a heated debate with fellow billionaire alexander delivered finished with liver death a punching polonsky who fell to the ground tearing into jeans in the process another bizarre preserve caught on camera saw him eat a piece of an actual necktie during an online. poll and ski was skipping his word after promising to eat a tie if the price of his company's real estate didn't grow by twenty five percent . i let's get some other global news for you in brief time for the r.t.
