the syrian opposition can only increase the bloodshed already taking place in syria so of course syria looked like it would be the main headline of this summit but rather unexpectedly these revelations of the spy scandal taking place back in two thousand and nine at the g twenty summit that britain hosted have come out we know from the documents that edward snowden has revealed is that the british security agency was spying on foreign dignitaries at the last g twenty summit that the u.k. also hosted back in two thousand and nine so not setting a great precedent as host of a summit we had even reports that they set up fake internet cafes in order to intercept the e-mails of the whole delegations foreign dignitaries and even tapping into the phone calls of the then president of russia dmitry medvedev so definitely

president barack obama is actually building better whistleblowers by targeting and punishing all those. government wrongdoing as for the website that served as a strong platform for whistleblowers snowden referred to wiki leaks as a legitimate journalistic outlet on the topic of obama snowden accuse the president of entering the white house and slamming the door on many campaign promises such as in vesta gating systemic violations of law instead snowden says the u.s. commander in chief is deepening and expanding several abusive programs that began under the bush administration the former booz allen hamilton employees says the u.s. government destroyed his possibility for a fair trial at home by openly declaring him guilty of treason and his acts as criminal unconstitutional and unforgivable snowden now reportedly hiding out in hong kong claims he did not reveal any u.s. operations against legitimate military targets he says his leaks pointed out where

the n.s.a. has hacked civilian infrastructure such as hospitals universities and private businesses covert operations that snowden claims is aggressively criminal and dangerous now even if the u.s. government ultimately catches and in prisons him snowden believes that it will not prevent more people like him from coming forward reporting from new york marina r.t. . it recently emerged that the n.s.a. may be running not just the prism spying system but a whole series of secret programs designed to try the public a funk that america political commentator believes hosting jews. over the weekend the washington post kind of published an article showing that not just is there prison but we have nuclear on and we have marina. we have maine where there's all these major programs prison is by far provides the most intelligence for the president but it takes you know there's about five million people now with
1:08 am
security clearance and that's going to be a problem moving forward when now that the secrets of started to come out others are feeling more and bold to tell secrets it's going to be a matter of not just how bast the surveillance system is but which which countries in which governments can keep their secrets safe with this with all these security clearances out there coming up all hope is lost to some of the guantanamo bay detainees later on r.t. we report on the official list of inmates who most likely never leave because the u.s. considers them too dangerous to release but denies them a trial. syrian rebels have killed sixteen government soldiers near the city of aleppo in one of the deadliest single strikes a suicide bomber detonated a truck reportedly filled with six tons of explosives in an attempt to reverse the tide of the conflict a sad troops have made a strong push in recent weeks and rebel leaders say they are in dire need of support they've already got al qaeda linked militants and foreign mercenaries

fighting on their side and are now set to start getting weapons from the west meanwhile government forces have the backing of lebanon's hezbollah and seeing get a four thousand strong troop reinforcement from iran the british national party's nick griffin was part of a european fact finding delegation has just returned from damascus he told us that any third party involvement only aggravates the conflict. when cameron in the americans say that we should arm the rebels what they're saying is that a lot of people are being killed in a war so the solution is to send more guns like it's madness unfortunately the americans the british the french and especially the saudis are playing this with a straight bat their interest isn't in sorting out the syrian problem it's overthrowing the assad regime which is rid of the last secular tolerant regime in the whole of the middle east and replacing it with one hobby extremism the vast majority of the rebels are liberal democrats that respect america and western
1:10 am
values of their jihadists you know the first invasion of syria by foreign forces is the fact that at least forty thousand of the so-called syrian rebels are in fact jihadist terrorists from north africa central asia and even western europe there's an estimated six hundred western european born jihadi is fighting against the syrian government right now well syria's conflict looms large over the israeli occupied golan heights where the border is already troubled by fighting the prospect of having war on it still a step is a worry for israel although not perhaps for the country's elite who have been revealed to have an expensive and impenetrable hijacked poor display looks at what the rest of the country thinks a batty. when the missiles come israel's leaders will be here deep underground somewhere on the road between jerusalem and tel aviv about a decade ago news broke that the government was building a bunker here in the hills of jerusalem to the tune of some two hundred million dollars criticism at the time was that the country had survived for fifty years
1:11 am
without one and could for another fifty but back then the threat of a nuclear iran was nowhere near where israel's prime minister netanyahu claims it is today. i am not exaggerating when i say the threats are greater than ever it's quite possible they have a greatest since the declaration of independence and even since the haass times during the first decades of this country. no one seen the bunker and it's been very little media coverage of it all that's known is that it can withstand an earthquake biological war or atomic attack it's rumored to have living quarters and command facilities able to accommodate several hundred people it's. important that we have such an installation so as to make sure the government is really in shape and can actually operate under any circumstances but gideon spiro doesn't buy the hype he's one of only a handful of israeli anti nuke activists who've been calling on the government to disarm nuclear.
1:12 am
hiring can go from there but. the proper for a charisma. which means that while netanyahu rants and raves he can do so knowing full well he has a hideout to sit out the nuclear winter should it come but it's not so simple for the person in the street in case of an it extreme situation of a nuclear attack or a severe attack on israel and they're all protected afterwards who are going to be ruling was going to be left around for them to govern on is the question is if every citizen can. every banker cannot as a banker and that's exactly how diamond times when we he doesn't have a nice home and has to rely on this public bunker which is almost always knocked it's always simple people on the street that pay the price of wars and not you know the generals to lead us into them there's very little you can do i mean the

instructions given by the army to israelis are staying home in a room that does not look towards the east that's the best they can do but it's well known that many of. and neglected about twenty percent of the population doesn't even have access to one we still have a problem with those that were constructed in the eighty's and seventy's it's some of them being strengthened snow by the special project to enable us to be more protected but that hasn't stopped newton yahoo turning up his rhetoric in recent weeks the irony is that should will begin the man who called for it will be safe in a bunker while his fellow citizens will be lifted face it head on police we are t. in the hills of jerusalem now online we've plenty more stories for you including the latest on wiki leaks whistleblower jitteriness aren't you says he's prepared to spend the next five years in the confines of the ecuadorian embassy in london the

high level talks to break the asylum impasse. and a bloody weekend of shootings across chicago in the worst violence so far this year even as the city desperately tries to shed its deadly reputation you can get all the details at r.t. dot com. the u.s. government has released a list of forty six current guantanamo bay prisoners who can forget about freedom officials say they can be prosecuted even though some of them were recommended for trial but they can't be released either because the government considers them too dangerous to be let out shaikh mohammed who's already on trial for masterminding the nine eleven attacks is one of those on the list which consists of mostly afghan and yemeni nationals is a blow to the campaign to get the jail shut down this had been boosted by the appointment of a veteran noire as an envoy to push for the closure of the camp over one hundred of the guantanamo detainees have been on hunger strike for months now over their

a cell all alone for twenty two hours and the contraband that they could possibly store is limited to what the guards provide them so it's literally nothing that could possibly be hidden and this area by these men who are in solitary cells for twenty two hours a day. coming up surely north korea's offer to take part in peace talks is falling on deaf in the u.s. washington is demanding pyongyang is the need arise ation is the starting point that critics of suspect america is not really that keen on easing the tensions on the peninsula. europe's is owned by high fuel prices and inefficient motors drivers they're looking for cheaper ways to get from a to b. just ahead. builds on the bones of its makers one through one of the wildest and most beautiful

welcome back britain is trying to rally other g eight countries to share financial information to crack down on tax avoiders but it's thought some of these gestures do go a bit safe office some leaders to help the cause a lisping publish naming and shaming some of those jumping through loopholes which is shown thomas discussed with business present. well the international consortium of investigative journalists has come out with all these details and exposed people that are using tax havens from thirty countries literally hundreds of thousands of people have been exposed right now and this is all for a timely considering these are the people that exposed politicians rogue nations that religious leaders oligarchs and we know that david cameron is using the g
1:19 am
eight to really put tax evasion at the forefront and get international support for his laws that he wants to enforce he needs everybody to jump on the same ship so that everybody else that wants to avoid tax can go to another country and get away with it so taxes are all important because these are tough economic times in the u.k. yeah exactly we know that britain is dealing with stagnate growth at the moment it has been since the financial crisis but there's a bit of criticism going on because britain actually created the tax haven and is actually in charge of ten crown dependency is an isle of man i love why and there's a lot to talk about and he's got to get those countries on board he's held the fact that he has already done that but nothing has been put. in all of this is easier said than done as in all things with politics right this is actually a tough task it is a tough task just because it's so secretive but that secrecy is coming to light at the moment because of exposé like this is making mr cameron's job that much easier
1:20 am
and i got expert analysis on their spend areas he is the editor in chief of business new york magazine i said to him how realistic is it that we could have a tax haven free world. because it means you'd have to police the entire world think about the system is necessary international. any country one tiny little country who chooses not to abide by this can do you know offer as. i say convenient services for people trying to hide money. means that the whole thing becomes a mockery there's no way of controlling it. you can work towards it you can it will take time and probably it's a good idea but you've got several countries like cyprus is the obvious example but luxembourg still switzerland before who are offering these services as a business it becomes a big part of their economy and it's very difficult for a small country like luxembourg to tell them they can't do it because they have no other way of making money so i think that one thing that can be avoided at the g

eight summit is the topic of tax evasion. well a world away from the g. eight offshore issues motorists in europe have no choice but to keep pumping their hard earned cash into powering their cars but as tests are still reports the costs of getting a back can be greater than the car dealers claim and the expenses can sing up. when i went to the store told me that's a very economy car it's only five point seven liter. in one hundred kilometer. and i never. i never make that consumption always make more and in a time of crisis when every penny counts the difference doesn't go unnoticed i pay more because i use less or more feel that i'm expecting. car ads in the e.u. advertised they expected the fuel consumption of their car models whatever recently
1:22 am
published report shows a discrepancy of up to twenty five percent on actual fuel consumption of motorists on the road the study by the international council on clean transportation notes the disparity between real world carbon emissions and what drivers get accounts for an average of three hundred euros more per year but this three main reasons for the discrepancy the first is that the test is very out of date over thirty years old the second reason is there was lots of loopholes that they can introduce preferred main reason as they do the tests but the lights are switched off the air conditioning is all heating would be zero so it's not being driven like a proper car taken together the end result leaves motorists across europe choking on the cost of their fumes many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet one trend that's taking shape as a steady continues to bite is more people opting for two wheels rather than for the european cycling federation claims that sales of bicycles across the continent now

outnumber. cars by two to one italians for one have already been actively making the switch thanks to all sturdy but there's a financial incentive as well the more money people have the more they can spend which did malaysia's the economy the fuel the people of boeing for their cars is a big part of their disposable income so if we can reduce the costs to consumers of filling up their car by having more fuel efficient cars then that puts money in people's pockets which is exactly what our good costumers they believe they were buying into to begin with the lie to me. it's not fair just are still your r t brussels. and motorists are the only ones whose wallets are under attack it seven thirty am g.m.t. max carries a look at why investing in your own higher education could leave you with a hole in your pocket for life. yes the minute now is that these students will be

in debt for the rest of their working lives and why because the people who are on pension accounts who have blown through their legacy of their pension money want higher yielding investments that are going to steal it from the students as a wealth transfer from the students to the pension holders from the younger generation to the older generation facilitated by an outside group the rothschild bank that has totally through prism through the n.s.a. through m i five through m i six they just totally control and manipulate and advise the garbage how to best confiscate wealth put in the pockets of the shysters the criminals the banks of the financial terrorist the financial branches and then they just take the other through the pockets the kids are left with a nickel to pound to rub together to buy a bag of decent dope. because report a bit later on america is skeptical of north korea's proposed or to launch high level talks between them to reduce tensions on the korean peninsula the obama administration says it wants actions not words asia especially as tim beals says
