this is already coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program now russia has released expert findings showing that a chemical attack in syria was apparently conducted by the rebels and not the regime the assault in question killed dozens of people near the city of aleppo back in march the report comes as the u.s. strives to convince the world that syria's opposition has no access to chemical weapons are does it work to skin off reports. this is a detailed one hundred page long report which provides thorough analysis of the weapons which were used in that attack in aleppo in mid march and first of all it concludes that it wasn't fact a chemical attack the weapons which were used were custom made and were similar to the ones usually used by. one of the most radical rebel groups with links to al-qaeda fighting against president assad regime investigators also found traces of hexagon which was used to release the chemicals that is not the way it's done in the military and also found traces of the xyron nerve gas which was produced not

industrially but it was all made and found traces of another chemical which was used by western western nations in the times of the second world war so these are the main arguments presented this report which is to suggest that that attack in aleppo the chemical attack was in fact conducted by syrian rebels this is actually the second time that we're hearing about the board russia already passed it over to the secretary general of the united nations back in july but neither then or now we are actually hearing about it international media basically de facto this report is being ignored by world powers and international media unlike the or it's published just recently on the recent attack near damascus they were presented by the intelligence services of the u.s. britain and the u.k.

and all three suggest that that was a chemical attack which was conducted by syrian authorities a lot of media attention is currently being we'd to these reports basically the are in international spotlight even though one of the key arguments in all three is that while they are based on interceptions of communications satellite photos and open source reports which are actually you tube videos. and information from other social networks the how correct it is is raising lots of questions and another argument shared by all three intelligence services pointing that it was the regime which held that attack is that the rebels the syrian rebels are simply incapable of dealing with chemical weapons something which is not approved it's not confirmed in the report presented by russia well we talked to the u.n. veteran an informal man a tarion coordinator for iraq hans christian graf on spawning who explained why

russia's findings are largely be the norm by international community you can ask that question on the range of other. reports that have been received which not convenient for those who are determined to carry out an attack but we cannot avoid looking into this and the media have. an obligation also to shed light on this when there are rumors that saudis and qataris have supplied chemicals is that true i don't know that the israelis were involved in this let there be a broad based. presentation but i would say about this is that the stalemate that prevailed in the u.n. security council i say this because i am a person who has thirty two years worked in that organization that stalemate has been created by the insistence of the peace three france britain and the united

states that the only ansara to a crime whose origin we don't even know yet must be military action. and in the u.s. obama's push for a strike on syria has passed the first hurdle after the senate committee voted in favor of the resolution the us secretary of state also pitched the case to the house of representatives one reason for an attack the kerry side of what's to prevent us allies in the gulf states from increasing their support to al qaeda cells within the syrian opposition which they might do in desperation to topple ossett the sands allison author ivan eland says this rhetoric does not stand up to scrutiny so it's implicit blackmail and i don't really think it's you know really a conditional thing i think they'll probably do it anyway and i don't see how u.s. bombing would stop that in fact as i say it may cause the jihadists even more to be

more active in the war simply because the u.s. is attacking an islamic country they're actively trying to alter the situation on the battlefield against assad but on the other side you have al qaeda and i think al qaeda may even be worse than assad and also our worst slowly getting dragged into this war if you're trying not to get embroiled in a war because then your employer simply taking one side over the other even more so than if you're just bombing them to say you shouldn't you you have to use chemical weapons and i think then you get a stake in the outcome of the war and it's the conflict in syria the time on the minds of the world leaders that have gathered in scene because we're for the g. twenty summit. and one of the main points the g. twenty spacing this year is u.s. plans to strike at syria are doing the reports on the latest updates on that from

the form. the g. twenty leaders have already arrived to the city of st petersburg and some meetings have already taken place in particular the meeting between the russian president and that his chinese colleague there is has been no press statement following that meeting but we do know what they talked about apart from the top deal between russia and china deal multibillion deal which was signed in june the sides also talked about syria it's not a secret to anyone that beijing and moscow have been sharing somewhat of a common stance on the syrian conflict and the words of the vice finance minister of china in the morning basically confirmed that he said that should any strike on syria happen this would seriously damage the global economy because of the ask elating oil prices obviously these was one of the one of the subjects discussed at the talks between the two we are certainly expecting more on that to come and it's no secret to anyone here as well that at the summit which is supposed to be about

economic issues syrian conflict is in the spotlight on greece at the end of the there have been no official meetings on the schedule of the both presidents of russia and the united states so the only chance they may actually have to talk to each other is during the official meetings or during the a gala dinner tonight at the palace here in st petersburg but officially they are not meeting each other and this is hardly a surprise given the very harsh rhetoric which has been coming from both presidents lately definitely no love lost between them despite that president putin in his interview ahead of the summit described obama as a good listener as a good person to talk with still experts are finding it hard to believe that they would actually try to find any common ground over the syria issue we do understand though that obama is on his way here to present some kind of evidence which he believes is the prove that. perform the attacks against the syrian rebels and we

already have a quote from the head of the european commission mr barroso it was said that europe . a political solution to the dispute and wants to present this evidence as quick as possible now as my colleague. explains there's been a roller coaster ride between the united states and washington in particular between obama and putin over the last several weeks after president obama canceled bilateral talks with president clinton over russia's decision to grant edward snowden asylum many thought it couldn't get a new worse the two won't even talk to. now says there will be an opportunity for the two leaders to meet on the margins of the g. twenty summit so it looks like as much as washington wants to snub moscow president obama and putin will have to talk the u.s. is about to bypass the u.n. security council break international law and attack syria we believe very strongly with high confidence that in fact chemical weapons were used and. mr assad was the

source russia says america's we believe is not enough and that if there is credible evidence it has to be presented to the u.n. . the question of authorizing the use of force is being discussed by the congress and the senate but it is an absolute commonsense substitution in international law the congress and no country can sanction such a thing what they trying to authorize is aggression because everything outside the u.n. security council is aggression if this is truly an atrocity that the world has signed on to oppose how come we're so alone president obama is expected to use the g twenty summit to rally a coalition for a strike against syria the u.n. chief in the meantime said he will use this summit to urge everyone to respect the international law we should all void for the beneath origination of the country and revitalize the search for a political settlement the g twenty and actually found it to deal with global

economic issues will of course give a platform to world leaders to voice their position on the crisis in syria but it will be here in chad there in washington i'm going to check out to follow up on what again has said that while the g. twenty summits have always been about finding unity and solving economic problems this time however it's all about discord and disagreements between the country because it's not only with president putin that barack obama may have a very difficult conversation it's also with a brazilian leader. who is clearly offended by the revelation. mr snowden that she was wiretapped by the n.s.a. and she is demanding an official apology from but obama if that doesn't happen she will cancel her planned visit to washington next month moreover we do know already that barack obama is expected to meet the french president francois hollande and he's not meeting the british prime minister david cameron so it is rather warm and peaceful outside the constantine the skip bayless years in petersburg but there are serious doubts that the climate within this walls will be just the same now trying

talk talk that kind of people if they sign up is understood what they'll do is create a database of repeat offenders if you like repeat illegal downloads that first be sent a letter if that letter was then ignored they would see sites being blocks they could potentially see the slowing down of the internet connection and a thing right up to and including a prosecution now jim collector of the open rights group is here to talk to me about this he's our go to guy for all things concerning internet and rights on the internet now these i s p's policing the internet basically though they'd be doing it at the behest of an on behalf of these rich huge industry titans music business film business will they be willing to do that you think is it legal is should they be the ones to do it the kind of things you would be very very illegal i think would be stream you don't mind seems you can't just simply start blocking. restricting somebody as internet just because they've. been entered on

a database people do have legal rights copyright is a legal right and the b.p.i. could take people to call them that would be reasonable at least then you would know what the evidence was somebody could say well look i'm innocent i didn't do this it was not me. and you could see some kind of logical conclusion that you know he's transparent i think the instant suddenly become interesting to everybody secrecy says governments big industries they all want to copy the information want to have the operated in their interests more than the interests of individuals and all this sort of you know letters sending threats this is a way to you know you customers and it's not a way to actually make money and collect thanks very much of course there's another important question who will pay the keep in this database out of the say it'll probably be you in the shape of increased broadband charges i mean while spyware creators are reaping huge profits from government snooping schemes that's according to the latest we can makes investigation revealing cozy ties between private i.t.

firms and intelligence agencies the revelations show there's no women to what can be intercepted from phone calls and text messages to just about any online activity but while the so-called digital mercenaries are cashing in the implications for web users are alarming pully boyko explains. the days of. listening to their phone calls and. e-mails. three reveals that it's british companies that are pioneering the technology this is a promotional video. the program. which allows the government in fact. in the country.

bahrain found out she says that gammas finn spice was used to get her off to she took part in anti-government protests looked like a genuine email addresses from another political activist saying that they were going to begin talks with the king of bahrain about the future of the country so i was in fact very intrigued very curious the manufacturer was government and not just opened my eyes into this other world of surveillance technology monitoring so we know that the british intelligence carries out this kind of activities but allowing private the private sector to carry out these kind of activities for other foreign governments researches have identified. around the globe. activists and journalists last year with all servers with spyware the. number of other countries such as turkmenistan carter we also found a sample of the spyware by spyware appeared to be targeted to

ethiopia the scary thing. is that this technology cooperated around the world without any sort of debris it may be the stuff of spying movies but campaign is say the british government needs to wake up and start regulating who's hands in basic technology is falling into we need to start acting like the weapons that can be used online are exactly the same as the kind of weapons like bombs and guns that can be used to hurt people. on the scene. extensive coverage of the g. twenty summit that's getting underway in st petersburg. political issues seem set to dominate the gathering this year but that doesn't mean financial issues will be left completely on the back burner leaders are to discuss

tax evasion plans for a new world bank and forge fresh economic alliances kenya pilbeam from marty's venture capital program is insane but his work was more on what's to be explored. job creation that's one of the central themes we know that there's still two hundred million people across the globe still searching for work seventy three million of those are use we know in the likes of spain and greece wanting to use are looking for jobs that's really a central theme going on here and the implications of that because as we know it's already a witness social unrest in certain parts of the world to do with the fact that people can't find it was that is a big problem and that goes along with the theme of growth long term growth but the problem is the emerging economies a day are suffering right now there's been a role reversal and earlier on i spoke to alexei courage and he's the former finance minister of russia and he's very well respected in the find as well that he was talking

a lot at first of all he said to me that the problems in the emerging world now i look to do with the fundamental problems that were created by the developed world and added to that he actually compares what's going on at the moment on the global economy to a sick mouths of this and as what he had to say. she just got to work america the world economy its current state can be characterized as being on life support it's vital functions are being kept running by the federal reserve the european central bank and other banks by constant cash injections this should only be temporary if a sick man goes through treatment and it doesn't help there's no point continuing it but there's an ongoing effort now to buy time for reforms and changes but this will end on the world's economies will be left to stand on their own feet to which countries economies will be able to stand and which ones won't remains to be seen scary stuff just that and he's really talking about this medicine these steroids

he's referring to the fact that central banks keep on pumping money into the economy and we know that the federal reserve chairman ben bernanke he said a back in may that he would be tapering those measures. in response to that the emerging markets had money pulled out from the already lost a sawmill fifty billion dollars india is particularly suffering at the moment the rupee has dropped by a fifth of its value so really the leaders here at the g twenty they have to convince us that they are indeed the doctors if you like to heal the patient which as christian just alluded to just that is very sick right now. now look at some other stories from around the world a blast in the egyptian capital has ripped through a convoy of cars carrying the interior minister in an apparent assassination attempt officials say two of the attackers were killed during the assault by the

series of crashes involving a one hundred thirty cars continued for almost ten minutes firefighters were called in to free people who were trapped in their vehicles. south african peace again nelson mandela is back at home in johannesburg after a three month stand in hospital is still critically ill and getting round the clock care but relatives of the father of the nation are busy finding ways to make money on the back of their famous name also the reports on the dash for cash that's dividing a family. as far as reality t.v. shows go this one's right up there sibling rivalry and feuds and family gossip but it's not any old family we're talking about here it's a mandela's it's clearly not an arson one project it's someone down a family project is very uncomfortable about his name or his image being

associated with commercial projects so the question becomes where do you draw the line the reality show follows the lives of two of mandela's granddaughters as they spend and lose money on extravagant business ventures and go on wild shopping sprees it's a far cry from the humble background mandela grew up in all the grim reality facing millions of south africa's poor black citizens bus argument bella's children it's their name and they have a right to use it however they see fit i think that he has paid his dues to society and i think his family who very often we don't mention the prize that they've had to pay to be without a father a husband and uncle who was behind bars all these years. and yet it's disgusted most south africans that while the icon lay for months in a hospital bed many of his family are cashing in on his famous name two of mandela's daughters took him to court for his legacy it hurt him deeply and dragged the country's moral compass to

a new low is absolutely an outrage that's why the i understand why they're doing it there's a lot of money and after all if you have that name i suppose you feel the mark want to keep the last one. is like the father is a bit of a nation actually so all of these that i have pretty right now i'm not really sure if this is appropriate for people to be using this but iraq to use the mandela name it is their family name you chemical fall in south africa without being reminded of the ninety five year old nobel laureate he is everywhere on t. shirts banknotes bookshelves smiling down from up above more than just a man he's become a global brand one that's estimated to be worth millions of dollars. an extension of a brand has to be almost more of the same it has to respect the qualities in the founders about brand into all those other areas so it's a tricky area. nelson mandela is being stretched and tortured and pulled in

different directions but for most south africans nothing can match the man himself who lived inside this house this is the mandela family home for weeks people have been leaving here flour was gifts and cards the crowds might have gone but their messages and hopes remaining graved on small stones it's a sad irony that the father of the nation who bought south africa back from an almost certain civil war has seen his own family descend into but fighting within itself policy r.t. johannesburg south africa. and next the russian president's press chief talks to r.t. sophie shevardnadze that's in just a couple of moments.
