the spanish. visit actuality. an agreement on peace talks but g. eight leaders failed to catch wind of differences on the syrian conflict with russia and the west remaining at odds are it with the future of the syrian leadership. the us government won't be able to block for the surveillance revelations that was snowden speaks out in an online q. and a slamming obama's war on whistle blowers. and polys so raids in istanbul and ankara result in more than eighty a rest of the turkish government greece in its tactics against the protests gripping the country .

live from moscow this is r t with me to one would say let's take a look at the news of this hour right world leaders desperately seeking to bridge the gaps in their approach to the syrian crisis at the g. eight summit in northern ireland but signs of unity remain scarfs with the russia and west the west seeming to have agreed to only on the need for peace talks involving all sides of the conflict artie's point to boycott the gathering at last . just had the russian deputy foreign minister say that all the g eight leaders have managed to pull together and they're going to issue a joint communique about the issue of syria in the coming hour or so and of course they're talking about pulling together and calling for the peace talks in geneva but on the other hand a date hasn't been set for those peace talks so it's been presented as somewhat of a of a triumph but there are still some very that remain that we know that because that

date hasn't been that there are still problems for example russia has said that bashar assad is willing to come to the negotiating table to school with the opposition the opposition on the other hand hasn't hasn't been so keen they've tried to set preconditions on the cost it's the same time we know that the usa is and has pledged to arm the syrian opposition they've said that they claim that the . government has used chemical weapons that is something that russia today said that they demand to see evidence of the same time we had russia's deputy foreign minister saying that sending arms to the opposition would suggest that there is a military outcome potentially to be had from this conflict and that's not the way russia sees the situation at all they want to see diplomatic talks seeking

a peaceful resolution to this conflict so presented as a triumph for. at least they managed to pull together to. create some sort of written document on the issue of syria today but these differences really do remain no major breakthroughs and a lot of experts are you saying that the g. eight might be seen as a bit of a dress rehearsal for the forthcoming g twenty summit in st petersburg in september where some real decisions might be made. and the russian president is to read bob the results of the g eight at a news conference later this hour right will be bringing you the event live here on our t.v. now on paper the summit is supposed to provide a platform for discussions on the vital social political and economic issues today in our online poll we ask you knew whether you think i was shooting for such gatherings actually produce tangible results are not let's take a look at what you've been saying so far the majority of you at fifty eight percent

who voted already believe that the results of very few and a little over say the summit serves only to reveal powerful nations own agendas and just basically putting them out really in their out to the world the remaining few versions are split between days who are convinced that the meeting is vital for outlining further actions on the world's most pressing issues while the rest of you think that the g. eight does help catalyze responses to global crisis tell us how you'd describe it as our t. dot com. while the g eight struggles to find a diplomatic and to the syrian conflict violence on the ground keeps escalating at least sixty government troops have been killed as me aleppo and a car bomb attack allegedly carried out by al-qaeda affiliated rebels the blast occurred shortly after another car bomb went off me a minute she checkpoint in the capital damascus leaving ten soldiers did this

latest string of attacks comes against the backdrop of us armed forces making significant advances in greece and recent rebels of pushing their foreign backers for lethal arms supplies meanwhile emersion saudi arabia has been supplying syrian militants with empty aircraft missiles about two months now making griffin from the british national party was a member of the european fact-finding delegation that's just returned from damascus he told us that any third party involvement only aggravates the conflict when cameron 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 strike but 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 harpy extremism the vast majority of rebels all liberal democrats who respect america western values 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. on the some of the sidelines eurocrats and u.s. officials lay the foundation for medical supplies of free trade zone a little a deliberate form how the plan has your privileges against each other and why watchdog agencies are ringing the alarm bell. the g eight summit is taking place just as the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden drops another information bombshell in documents that prove the u.s. and the u.k.

was spying on the delegates of the g twenty summit in london back in two thousand and nine story and has a promise to even more revelations and predicted more whistleblowers will follow his example this was during an internet q. and a session marty's worrying about mail follow the online chat. snowden referred to washington's war on whistleblowers as a drop clooney and campaign he believes will ultimately escalate the scale scope and skill involved in future government leaks in short snowden believes that u.s. 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 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 employee 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. . right it was snowden's revelations had already led to some tension between the u.s. and china has demanded that washington expand its surveillance program cyber spying to the international community james called by the editor of an independent news website the called report says for the damage to relations between the two countries is inevitable. there will definitely be further followed in terms of their relations i don't think this comes as a surprise to anybody in the audience let alone the chinese government or intelligence services especially given the fact that it was admitted earlier this year that the general in charge of the n.s.a. who also happens to be a u.s. army general in charge of cyber command is head is ready to deploy forty cyber battalions in u.s. cyber by two thousand and fifteen thirteen of which are going to be specifically for preemptive cyber attacks so is it any surprise that the n.s.a. is actively targeting and conducting cyber operations against u.s. enemies in cyberspace of course this is no surprise to anyone but now that this is

been put on the table and made quite explicit i think there is going to have to be some sort of reaction from beijing and this is going to complicate already complicated relations between the two when especially as this was just it the topic of the first meeting between president obama and president xi jinping since took office there in california just earlier this month. closely watching the developments on the story log on to our website at our dot com for the full timeline of events expert analysis and the latest updates. by the world at large is free trade say they see and spend the atlantic compassing the populations of the u.s. and the european union lobbyists to bureaucrats and executives how to work preparing the grope but critics point to insurmountable problems with the whole idea of business present occasion pilgrim has the details. france is expected to oppose the deal because they are demanding that their industries get certain

protections and continued subsidise asian a point that's not sitting well with other e.u. nations plus our whole bunch of consumer watchdogs and food safety organizations are concerned that washington is caving into pressure from us farm and food industries who want street food standards rules removed why example of this is greenpeace which is already concerned that standards will slip as a result of the deal if this trade agreement does go through it's not your will have to relax its attitude towards genetically modified crops too the first thing that comes to mind is the monsanto a highly controversial g.m.o. company and i just recently we saw a global protests erupt against a company with thousands expressing anger towards it and its practices of the european consumers organization also expressed serious concerns fearing that this would this deal was watered down the consumer protection rules they have already

the choice all teach spanish find out more visit i to allahabad t.v. dot com. welcome back more than sixty people have been detained into these largest city istanbul after police asleep on the city targeting protest as another twenty three were a sit in the capital ankara and as art is really going to school explains this is not the only addition to the governments and to demonstrations methods. the 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 that as a good a great way to show his protests towards the violent dispersal of those who are in the park and in taksim square just days earlier by the police he was soon joined by about a dozen of other protesters that he left and the rest of those who have joined him

were arrested by police they were however released a last night we know of at least seventy people who were arrested allegedly for their connection to the protests for the turkish authorities put out for instigating violence and basically calling on people to go to the streets and instigating also 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 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 and now what does

the government do aside from arresting people they believe are somehow connected to the protests there are 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 the some of the functioning of this social media which may be the newest and possibly the most interesting developments 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 policeman to quell the protests they will bring in the dharma 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. i don't mind we've got more stories and analysis of from the worlds of news makers including the latest on weiqi lisa whistleblower julian a saundra 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 asylum impossible to. russian foreign minister says iran's new president is ready to hardly hold you raney i'm in richmond but under certain conditions head towards dot com to the new where the west should make compromises. well iran's new leader and his promises of nuclear transparency don't seem to have convinced israel that the alleged threat will be lifted anytime soon prime minister netanyahu has said to their president elect rouhani you will have no say in the country's nuclear policies israel's elite is well prepared in case of a possible attacked well that expensive and impenetrable hideout at their disposal policy a lot of 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 are 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 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 remit 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-nuclear activists who've been calling on the government to disarm nuclear. both of the corruption. and their former but. the group are per 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. then they have a bankruptcy and not a banker and that's exactly how. he doesn't have a shelter miss 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 and leaders into them there's very little you can do i mean the instructions given by the army to israel is the same holding a room that does not look towards 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 and cetera et cetera some of them being strengthened right snow by the special project to able us to be more protected but that hasn't stopped mr yahoo turning up his rhetoric in recent weeks the irony is that should war 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 policy r.t. in the hills of jerusalem. a powerful blast in kabul has left at least three people

dead and dozens injured on the the same day nato hands ever security to national afghan forces the attacks are believed to have targeted a high profile politician that's i'll talk to a political analyst and a former afghan m.p. tonnes of oil who's joining us live now mr sultanzoy it's not all special security been handed over to the afghans how ready is kabul to take. i think. kabul or any other city of this size may never be fully one hundred percent secure in a war of the sort these kinds of wars don't have fronts and specially in congested areas and rural areas in urban areas there are differences of of how security is held so unless we solve the problem of all together security in kabul will not

be one hundred percent. desirable. there's been a huge surge in violence as a dream's move out to how can i as good forces fight the insurgency on their own. will they be able to do it you know. i think to a certain extent where you need to use. foot soldiers and infantry the military is ready but when it comes to surveillance. and intelligence armored capabilities air force and airborne capabilities the military is lacking those things and. it will be quite a while until our military is equipped and capable of using those forces so yes in the infantry and its related aspects are capable but still it's not

a full fledged army that all of address all security needs. there's been quite a growth in terms of the taliban strength and it's now setting up a political office we've just heard in qatar and present because i want to talk peace with that with the so-called militant what was spending so much time fighting the taliban even with it. i didn't get the last part because your voice didn't come through so we spend the troops who have been out in afghanistan but afghanistan have spent so much time fighting the taliban whereas now president karzai is saying that he's going to sit down with them and talk with that did we did the troops spend so much time out there fighting with the wrong people the taliban was it with it. this is what the people have ganesan. also are asking this is a question that we all ask was so many people died they lost their lives the

country has been in a state of war for so many years so many troops from all over the world were here so much money was spent at the end of the day today of course we are seeing a historic moment where the taleban are announcing the opening of the emirates the office of the emirates of afghanistan with a flag and so the question is a lingering question what is this war what was this war fought for what is going to happen after this this is a very very important turning point and if the americans sit with the taleban and on one hand they will be talking on the other hand the people of afghanistan will be dying this is going to. devastating situation for a nation will have to be right there morning out of time mr. sultanzoy political analyst and former afghan m.p. for joining us on r.t. . some other news making headlines around the world this hour violence has once again a striking iraq's

a capital baghdad two suicide bombers are blowing themselves up in a shia mosque killing at least thirty three people more than sixty others were injured in the blast a bombing over beit of attacks on shia neighborhoods which have tamed of the lives of more than one hundred people. riot police of clash with protesters in brazil's the biggest cities are following mass demonstrations people are venting their anger at the government spending and staging the twenty fourteen world cup it crippled the social and health system as well as the rise in transport from the rallies have now entered a second week with more expected in the coming days. an explosion has occurred near the u.s. city of new orleans are witnesses reported hearing a blast and seeing a bright orange light in the sky i guess company has confirmed that one of their pipelines was to blame for the blast no injuries have been reported but the

explosion follows a spate of incidents on america's chemical and fertilizer plants which have claimed sixteen lives and left seventy people injured. one of the founders of the live sharing resource pirate bay godfried. the bathroom is to be extradited from sweden to denmark over hacking charges he is accused of stealing information belonging to the danish police including data on persons wanted in shanghai and states if convicted he faces up to six years in prison the exact date of his extradition is not yet known as he is standing trial in sweden for alleged fraud and hacking. i hate to we wrap up warm to try out life in the planet of problems moving regions of the break.

you know what's worse than a crop bureaucrat who sucks at being corrupt a scumbag bureaucrat in veronese russia just couldn't help himself and put some very hefty charges for services contracts for road repair and construction in just three years use 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 an absolute slap 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 isn't your old ricci you know this car is being specially modified it's about to undergo one of the toughest all for journeys in russia and everything needs to be perfect. this car is in you cruise in one of the most extreme places on the planet you don't want to break down and put that out here. business old jessica is used to hoist the car up with. the pleasure of a shovel without one they would let you compete on the rise because. conditions can be pretty extreme. you'll probably need it. and once the new tires are on and the motors finally to. it's off to the races.
