to. call smiles and handshakes at the g. eight as the u.s. and russia with their nod at the same pace on how to solve soon we're left to move towards a diplomatic solution. the more you are surveillance leads to come as players by whistleblower edward snowden in an online q. in a way he has also said that he's honored to be declared a traitor and washington hawks. and a further some seems to be brewing in turkey as labor unions jump on board the protests despite threats that the army could move in. a of. you watching r.t.

live from moscow with me to bomb would say it's good to have you company with us let's take a look at the news this hour. serious on the ending bloodshed is once again proving to fracture relations between moscow and washington at the g eight summit in northern ireland to bloody middle region and barack obama had to admit they don't really see eye to eye on the matter but agreed that peace talks should take place more from artie's party boyko at the gathering in not art. reports coming out today that because of a lack of consensus over the issue of syria g. eight leaders could be preparing a communique that excludes russia now we know that last night u.s. president barack obama and russian president vladimir putin met they said that there were no breakthroughs in talks over syria they very said that they welcome a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the crisis but we do know that last week the usa pledged military support to the syrian opposition. and has reiterated time and

time again that he wants to see a peaceful diplomatic resolution he wants to get both sides to the negotiating table now some people raising concerns about how the west of the u.s. the u.k. france are calling for the syrian opposition to be armed how they can at the same time want a peaceful and diplomatic resolution when potentially arming the rebels could escalate the bloodshed but there is still hope. last night apparently the g. eight leaders all met for. reportedly went back to the back said there is still a chance that that communique of the syria will come from all of the g. eight leaders including russia we know that the e.u. arms embargo was lifted last month that was after a lot of pressure that came from britain and france now we know that in britain

david cameron he hasn't been able to pledge military support to the syrian opposition because he faces a lot of criticism from his own party on from his deputy prime minister even nick clegg has said that he doesn't think it's the right time to arm the syrian rebels boris johnson mare of london a very outspoken man has said don't those syrian maniacs in france we've got political elites now questioning how the syrian crisis came about all together. i'm going to tell you something i was in england two years before the violence in syria on other business i met with top british officials who confessed to me that they were preparing something in syria this was in britain not in america britain is in an invasion of rebels into syria they even asked me although it was no longer minister for foreign affairs if i would like to participate i think there are some at that discussing corp on counterterrorism and thankfully that is a sphere where there is a lot more consensus from all the g.

eight leaders. on paper the g. eight summit is supposed to be a chance to discuss a number of white all social political and economic issues we want to know if you think it achieves anything let's take a look at what you've been saying so far the lines there is voting and our t.v. believe the gathering as a high level platform to talk about what the few results and a third of you a little bit more optimistic saying that it reveals a powerful nations agendas for the rest of the world the rest are split between those who are convinced the meeting is why do and actually brings a positive result and the rest think that the g eight does help catalyze responses to global crisis tell us how you describe it and r.t. dot com. and syrian rebels have killed sixty 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 a bid to reverse the tide of the conflict. to have made a strong push in recent weeks and rebel leaders as say they're in dire need of support so they've already got al qaida in them to militants and for in medicine to resupply on this side and i said to start getting weapons from the west meanwhile government forces have the backing of lebanon's hezbollah and makes them get of a floor of four thousand strong reinforcement from iran the british national party's nick griffin was part of a european fact finding delegation that's just returned from damascus he told us that any third party involved only aggravates the conflict in cameron in the american psyche that we should on 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 extremism the vast majority of rebels of liberal democrats who respect america and western values of jihadists are 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. syria's conflict looms large over the israeli occupied golan heights away the border is already troubled by fighting the prospect of having war on its doorstep is a warrior for israel although not perhaps for the country's elite who have been revealed to you have an expensive and impenetrable hideout looks at what the rest of the country thinks about it. 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 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 is quite possible they have the greatest since the declaration of independence and even since the harsh times during the first decades of this country. no one seen the bunker and there'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. both of the corruption in. hiring congressional and their former but. it's not 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 a 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. then they have a bunker bunker and that's exactly how diamond times when we he doesn't have a shelter news home and has to rely on this public bunker which is almost always knocked it's always people on the street that pay the price of wars or not you know the general or the leader seem to them 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 israel's bomb shelters are run down 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 that cetera et cetera some of them being strengthened rights no special project to us to be more protected but that hasn't stopped mr on 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 left to face it head on police we are tea in the hills of jerusalem. more to come here at all to see all hope is lost for some of the guantanamo bay detainees later reported the. inmates will most likely never be because the u.s. considers them too dangerous to release advise them a trial. so europe's gas guzzlers hunted by high fuel prices them inefficient motors drivers they are looking for cheaper ways to get from aig that's ahead. former n.s.a. contractor turned a whistleblower edward snowden is hitting back at washington and the onslaught from the lawmakers gunning for him fielding questions on the line snowden promised more leaks to come and do you want to do is defending the global surveillance a web that he exposed our correspondent marina followed the q. and a. snowden referred to washington's war on whistleblowers as a draft pony in

a campaign he believes will ultimately escalate the scale scope and skill involved in future government leaks ensure. president barack obama is actually building better whistleblowers by targeting and punishing all those that aim to expose government wrongdoing as for the website that served as a strong platform for whistleblowers snowden referred to wiki leaks as a legitimate journalistic outlets 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. 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 track the public that are t. america political commentators themselves believes holds dangers of its. over the

weekend the washington post kind of published an article showing that not just as their prism but we have nuclear on and we have marina and we have main way there's all these major programs prism is by far provides the most intelligence for the president but it takes you know there's about five million people now with 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 too so 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 the security clearances out there we've got the latest on turkey protests and the g. eight the fight against tax avoidance as you stay with us. away builds on the bones of its makes its the winds through one of the wildest and most beautiful regions of russia a place that's home to less than

a million people and to keep this the great frosts. join me james brown as i travel to the coldest inhabited place in the world. and meet some of the toughest people i'm told this time is on the clinic's. just make sure that you keep your eyes on the road well for. the. race so the poll of polls only zero known to you. stream quality enjoy. if you're away from your television. you can watch on t.v. anytime anywhere.

welcome back you're with us here on r.t. . protesters have returned to square. efforts to clear the plaza and bring in the military to quell the unrest. protests in taksim square last night were in fact started off as a lone protester simply standing there for hours on end it was a performance artist who found it as a good a great way to show his protests towards the violent dispersal of those who are in gezi park in taksim square just days earlier by the police he was soon joined by about a dozen of other protesters they were however released a last night i know of at least seventy people who were arrested allegedly for their connection to the protests for. the turkish authorities put it for

instigating violence and basically calling on people to go to the streets and instigating a civil unrest those people should be released within four days we're being told that at the same time just talking to protesters people who were out and gives you park you have to understand that they may be gone off the streets not all of them of course a lot of them are actually regrouping right now of course you have your labor unions coming out also showing their indignation at the situation in the country at the way that the government has handled the arrest in the country which have been going on for more than two weeks at this point they're extremely unhappy with the way they're showing their solidarity with the protesters and by the looks of it it's just we're right in the middle of the eye of the hurricane now what does the government do aside from arresting people they believe are somehow connected to the protests we're now beginning to closely monitor the social media websites such as twitter and facebook and they're actually they actually have drafted a law which is soon going to go into into examination by the turkish parliament

on restricting use of the functioning of this social media which maybe is the newest in possibly the most interesting development in lieu of recent events considering the fact that a lot of protesters actually are being organized through twitter or facebook there was the statement that if there will not be enough policemen to quell the protests they will bring in the armory and if those will not be enough then of course we will be seeing the army also working on calling the protest in the country. online we've got more stories and analysis of the world news makers including the latest on the weekend whistleblower julian assange who says he's prepared to spend the next five years in the confines of the ecuadorian embassy in london after high level talks to break the silence in parts of fatah. and a bloody weekend of shootings across chicago in the words violence so far this year even as the city desperately tries to shed its deadly reputation get the details at

r.t. dot com. the u. is the government has released a list of forty five current guantanamo bay prisoners you can they'll forget about freedom one the other man on the blacklist is khalid shaikh muhammad to who's already on trial for mastermind in the nine eleven attacks officials say the rest who are mostly afghan and yemeni nationals can be prosecuted even though it's somewhere recommended for trial they can be released either because the government considers them too dangerous to be let out of. the activists had been boosted by the appointment of a veteran oil as an envoy to push lloyd's closure over one hundred of the guantanamo detainees have been on hunger strike for months now over the indefinite detention cindy is an attorney for one of the inmates and she told us that sometimes lawyers paulina's to defend their clients. there is

evidence against many men that has been deemed classified and the attorneys for the men have never seen and may never see and they will not be able to challenge the detention of the men or the evidence that's held against them and so some of the men who u.s. has deemed. to be are able to be indefinitely detained we won't ever be able to see the evidence being used to support that claim what the administration is saying at the camp is that they are searching for contraband that may apparently be stored in the general area of the men and keep in mind these are men who are in solitary come now as of may they are in a cell all alone for twenty two hours and the contraband that they can 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. a quick look around the world at some other stories at this hour one there have been massive rallies across brazil holding over one hundred thousand people angry at the crippling tax burden is adding to the fury is the immense cost of saving the twenty fourteen world cup the protests began last week and although the latest demonstrations were largely peaceful little skittish is that with the police in rio de janeiro. a ball for blast on a convoy carrying an afghan m.p. has left at least three people dead in kabul on the day nato hands over security to national afghan forces police say the attack happened to the west of the capital near the parliament national parliament security responsibilities have now been formally transparent and is a significant milestone towards the fall draw coalition troops planned for the end of next year. britain is trying to rally other g

eight countries to shift financial information to greg down on tax avoidance but is sorta some of these suggestions go a bit too far for some leaders to help the cause a list has been published naming and shaming some of the those who are jumping through the new polls artie's son thomas discusses with our business presenter katie pilgrim. 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 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 stagnant 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 dependences an isle of man i love whites 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 to paper just yet shown in all of this is your show 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 a light at the moment because of exposé like this is making mr cameron's job that much easier and i got expert analysis on their spend areas he's 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. 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 obvious example but luxembourg still switzerland before they were offering the services as a business it becomes a big part of their economy and it's very difficult for a small country like some to tell them they can't do it because they have been making money so i think that one thing that can be avoided at the g eight summit is the topic of tax evasion a world away from the g. eight issues merger is in europe have no choice but to keep pumping the heart and

cash into power in the cards just as i saw your reports the cost of getting about can be greater than the car dealer claim and expense in mounts up. when i went to the store that told me that's a very economy car it's only five point seven liter. you know one hundred kilometer. and i never. i never make that consumption i 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 an expert. car ads in the e.u. advertised expected a fuel consumption of their car models whatever recently 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 protocol 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 what 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 a sturdy but there's

a financial incentive as well the more money people have the more they can spend which did release the economy the fuel the people above boeing for their cars is a big part. that 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 i would cost them as they believed they were buying into to begin with the lie to me and it's it's it's not fair to answer so you are to brussels. to a wrap up warm to try out live in the planets of fathers and mills when reason is that's after the break.

you know what's worse than a crop bureaucrat a core pure crap who sucks at being corrupt a scumbag bureaucrat in veronese russia just couldn't help himself and puts a very hefty charges for services contracts for road repair and construction in just three years hughes able to take enough of a percentage off of these contracts though investigators raided his house he had the equivalent of over three million dollars in russian money all over his home news not mail dot ru claims he had entire laundry hampers and twenty five kilogram sugar sex filled to the brim with box first off when someone is this flagrant that means that he felt rather comfortable and not getting caught so there are plenty more of these guys out there but second this is a absolutes left in the face to russia taxpayers who are hungry for new roads i think for instance it's a flagrant in your face obvious crush corruption russia might need to reconsider that moratorium on the death penalty but that's just i mean.

this is a year old. this car is being spent. modify it it's about to undergo one of the toughest journeys in russia and everything needs to be perfect. this car is in you kusa one of the most extreme places on the planet you don't want to break down and prepared out here. this whole jack is used to hoist the car up. without one they went but you compete in the race because the conditions can be pretty extreme. you'll probably need it. and once the new tires are on and the motors finally to this car is off to the races. ladies and gentlemen.

is home to the mammoth driving club and when these boys and girls get together they get a rather special sendoff. maybe the size of india but it's below freezing here for at least seven months of the year and less than a million people are spread out over its three million square kilometers of space it's a vast wilderness but it's an off road drivers paradise but it might be one very first rally but we're not doing anything because of a going to one of the world's most inhospitable places along one of its most infamous roads the pole of cold along the road of bones. we were having to come but called a sinner.
