with the economic ups and downs in the final months they belong to the old saying i and the rest of the life they need a few will be everything. it's eleven pm here in moscow tonight leaders of the world's biggest economies gathering some peters with syria and the u.s. strike plans eclipsing global financial concerns bring you extensive coverage from this major summit. russia publishes a damning report showing syrian rebels were behind a chemical attack last march with evidence that the weapons used near aleppo were not from government stock. and the u.k. record labels are said to break the pirate code as they look to revive the railing industry by crushing free downloading user by use or.

even church kevin owen here in moscow tonight the big story of the day leaders of the world's top twenty economies have gathered in some pages but for the g twenty summit to tackle some of today's biggest challenges. i know it's his rory sushi's analogy twenty students in petersburg with the latest updates on what's happening at the summit are there rory the sun shining awards show has gone down no one has been extremely busy day but the talking the dealing with a crucial matters continues over dinner doesn't it. that's absolutely right indeed kevin thank you very much for that indeed yeah the day is winding down day one of the g. twenty here in st petersburg the venice of the north russia's northern capital

however we understand that there are still some high level delegation meetings going on behind closed doors the rest of the delegates there as you said kevin probably enjoying the champagne and caviar in fact probably feeling a bit warmer than i am right now what started off as a beautiful blue sky and sunshiny day here in st petersburg has now become nighttime clear skies and down right chilly let's get down to the brass tacks for you here the g. twenty and some petersburg of course the g twenty a global economic forum featuring other world leaders and finance ministers from the top twenty economies and including those top twenty at that at the developing and emerging markets as well as kevin was saying earlier and as many networks are saying all around the world the g. twenty ultimately becoming perhaps a bit eclipse in overshadowed by the issue of syria is america going to ultimately go it alone and do a unilateral strike on syria france has said it will join but the vast majority of the european union has said they will not take any part in any type of strike on

syria and i spoke to our season he said now a bit earlier and she was telling me that as well as leaders were winding down their day they set down for dinner they knew that apart from just the basic issues of the world economy stimulus packages and austerity packages as well she told me that the world leaders knew there was something else brewing right in front of them . as these g. twenty leaders sat down to dinner they knew that syria was going to be literally on the table of quite heated. beit possibly taking place behind closed doors it's become very clear on this day one that most of the countries in the g twenty the economy as i should say rather. are against any kind of military intervention it's easier to name the countries that are flat out for it that being of course the united states france ahead of the summit said it would support it saudi arabia and turkey the rest have them one way or another at least hinted or flat out said that they are against military intervention and for a political solution and this debate is going to continue of course over the next

few days about syria we've heard from e.u. officials saying that they believe that a political situ a solution is the only way and the u.n. also representatives here not only bought them on ki-moon but the u.n. route for the situation on syria also both of them stating that a political solution is the only way they are against military intervention i just want to quote bomb ki-moon he said that there is no military solution there is only a political solution which can be can bring peace rather and this bloodshed right now so everyone's positions are really being put out there and if obama was hoping to come to st petersburg and get any more support he certainly hasn't found it on tape want some emerging economies probably not happy that this is taking over the so-called economic summit a lot of these emerging economies one of the economy to say the focus that this summit because they're the countries that are really feeling the pinch from us

quantitative easing they really feel it in the emerging economies so they want to create defense mechanisms what they were already agreed to today is a two hundred billion dollar foreign exchange reserves that would be one of the mechanisms and then on friday we know the second day of the summit they're going to be talking about an alternative to the i.m.f. but again like i said these emerging economies realizing that other issues are going to come up at this summit one of them being. the fact that most of them have been spied on this revealed by whistleblower edward snowden of course another source bought in russian u.s. relations brazil saying it expects an apology from the united states and basically the brics according to to me to discover post let's hear putin spokesperson saying that they agree that this electronic snooping they are lying to terrorism and really a violation of their national security so a very tense atmosphere at the g twenty so far certainly a lot of country countries probably hoping that they can perhaps ease some of that

tension on day too. well some people calling it a bit of a shame with the annual g. twenty summit in effect here in st petersburg the focus should be that of world economics but as a nice they were saying just now there is a lot of attention on stress being felt among world leaders or some feeling that they should jump on the barack obama bandwagon and try and and support him with some sort of a unilateral strike against syria but of course a strike in weeks of allegations over the assad government using chemical weapons the u.n. saying it's going to take a couple of weeks at least to confirm any of those results and in fact john kerry the u.s. secretary of state saying in the past twenty four hours that barack obama doesn't need to wait for the u.n. in order to strike syria well that's a bit deeper now enjoin a deputy editor of the backbencher dot co dot u.k. jenkins now joining us here an odyssey. it's rory here in moscow i hope you can hear me ok let's get straight down to the brass tacks here do you think regarding syria can any peaceful solution be reached with twenty world leaders right here

right now in some petersburg. as often the case of the summit sleeves there the make noises of our work together. move forwards. i think the decision for a strike has already been made in washington and in paris i think london slowed things up a bit maybe sure ain't ours more so than to go before the congress parliaments. and surely want to be one of the weeks ago. so so so if i can just jump in for a moment you're saying ultimately that the decision has been made that certain countries i suppose led by the u.s. will do a unilateral strike in syria but one of the questions i have for you lee is the fact that when it comes to evidence hard evidence that shows the assad regime used chemical weapons in syria every time the russian president has asked the american

president for hard proof barack obama turns his back and walk so. a if the proof is then why isn't it being shown to the rest of the world. as a really good question two points on not actually the evidence if you can call it out the camera hold on to. the pieces of a for the russians put together a one hundred pages plus was that you can be sure come weapons is telling untrue about a year ago the us soldier winds on a killing spree in afghanistan on know the full says they was down to the bottom of it was his fault it was a reason way to imagine the present assault is going to see micromanaging every single soldier in the syrian armed forces so no i don't think i'll get some he has his evidence going with this one. now when it comes to if i can just jump in for a moment here when it comes to the pentagon for example langley virginia for years

they've been throwing around a term called out of full spectrum dominance and in part of this whole idea of full full spectrum dominance is to have a military base in every middle eastern country is it possible full spectrum dominance and geo strategic positioning could be hypothetically the true motivation behind this unilateral potential strike against syria. but if you look back on see thirty years ago the bounce of power in the middle east was a lot more a lot more balanced about the us allies of israel tool than saudi arabia was russia was able to go along the likes of iraq syria and libya you look at now on it and he's gone and starts the only one left but if you screw incident stats the us is on the brink having an unbroken alliances from say rock central asia.

you know that's suddenly mali why. to say the least early jenkins or the deputy editor of the backbencher dot co dot u.k. a great pleasure to have you on our team today thank you for joining us all the way here in st petersburg thank you. but we continue our live broadcast here from the two thousand and thirteen g twenty summit here in st petersburg the venice of the north in just a moment here on the program i'll be joined by the host of artes of business program that of venture capital and katie pilbeam the live broadcast continues in just a few. you think story and as you say more from the team just a bit later tonight despite all the wrangling over syria there are plenty of financial challenges that the to be addressed coming up on the program tax evasion financial crime and recessions are key causes for concern they're going to be talking about that a little bit later when i got the latest from the g.

twenty for you. russia's released a detailed report citing evidence that there's a chemical attack in syria was carried out by rebel forces not by the regime is sultan question killed dozens of people near the city of aleppo back in march those findings come as the u.s. tries to convince the world that syria's opposition has no access to chemical weapons has can offer of course. 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 margin 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 homemade 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 this we bored 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 by the intelligence services of the uighurs of britain and france 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 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 poor switch are actually youtube 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 about 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 proved it's not confirmed in the report presented by russia former u.k. counterintelligence terrorism officer charles shubert spoke to me he thinks western powers of blink selves to find findings that undermine the case for intervention.

the u.k. based opposition supporting body the syrian observatory for human rights commented that most of those killed in the attack it reported at the time were indeed syrian army soldiers which again would suggest either a that it was a syrian army accident albie that the russian findings now tend to show you or suggest it's the case that in fact this was an attack carried out by syria's rebels but it doesn't suit the agenda and the narrative put out by britain and the u.s. and france in its intelligence assessments the only really evidence in inverted commas that has been put forward to support this strike possibly on syria is that syria's rebels cannot and do not have the capability to produce chemical weapons and therefore could not have been responsible for the attack did russian report the detail it's contained in doubt about the manufacture of the sarin that was used in that instance is very very interesting because it maintains that the sarin that was

used or that they tested in those samples was not should we say a product of industrial manufacture it isn't standard weapons grade sarin that has been used and so therefore these are not standard syrian army munitions that would point towards syria rebel use rather than syrian military use possibly. bridges a bit more meantime the u.s. is rallying support for military intervention in syria at home and abroad secretary of state john kerry said several arab nations have offered to bear the cost of a u.s. led campaign and made that comment when briefing american lawmakers about plans to strike the water home country. called outside of it tonight. u.s. secretary of state john kerry told lawmakers that if washington carries out a military attack against damascus on its own some arab countries have proposed to foot the bill for the entire operation america's top diplomat says the offer is currently on the table so in theory of a u.s. missile strike and being funded by arab countries an offer that kerry

secretary kerry says is on the table then this essentially means that the u.s. military will be working as a contractor or a mercenary force or block border if you will towards arab partners mr kerry told u.s. representatives that that being militarily bankrolled by arab countries is not in the cards and it's not an option the obama administration is currently considering but some ask why would the secretary of state speak publicly about the proposal if it wasn't being considered a valuable offer and also on wednesday the secretary of state also warned us representatives that a lot of military action against the government of bashar al assad could fuel extremist fighters secretary kerry said that if the u.s. doesn't strike syria then countries that countries are funding the opposition such as saudi arabia and qatar which are america's allies will begin giving more money

to extremist fighters so go and buy this rationale this means that the u.s. must strike syria to prevent its own allies from strengthening radical rebels according to the news blog think progress long makers in the house of representatives are leaning towards voting no on a bill that would allow the u.s. to take military action against syria as of thursday morning think progress has reported that one hundred ninety nine u.s. representatives are expected to reject any strike against syria while forty nine lawmakers in the house are low. two or words of voting yes this leaves a reported one hundred eighty five representatives undecided and meanwhile according to other figures figures that reflect support for the syrian strike among the american people that's also significant latin significantly lacking so if we're adding up these numbers analyzing the numbers these numbers don't work in favor of

us president barack obama our correspondent in new york well will do stuff for a break including an offensive launched by record labels against internet pirates. there's a media leader also we believe that maybe. others the motions your. mother your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics. right to see the. first strike. and i think you're.

welcome back. to face a new crackdown in britain new anti piracy rules could see hundreds of thousands of internet users blocked by the providers and even prosecuted for downloading unlicensed movies and music representatives of struggling media companies will be sharing their grievances with the prime minister during a private discussion next week smith from forbes. well basically this is a move to make internet service providers essentially police the internet so it's

a voluntary thing so far but if the likes of these big sort of instep writers here in the u.k. virgin media bt b. sky b. 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 sent a letter if that letter was then ignored they would seize sites being blocks they could potentially see the slowing down of their internet connection and i think right up to and including prosecution now jim collect 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 and 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 you kind of things you would be very very illegal i think would be extremely dodgy doing those kinds of things you can't just

simply start blocking sites restricting somebody who's internet just because they've. been entered on a database people do have legal rights copyright is a legal right and the p.p.i. could take you to court might well 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 is transparent i think the internet suddenly become interesting to everybody the secret services governments big industries they all want to copy the information you want to have operated in their interests rather than the interests of individuals and all this sort of you know letters sending threats this is a way that 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 key can this database analyst say it'll probably be you in the shape of increased broadband charges. we'll keep an eye on that story for you meantime creatives of spyware are reaping huge profits from

government snooping schemes and that's according to the latest investigation by wiki leaks which reveals cozy ties between private equity firms intelligence agencies that story interests us get a lot of clicks tonight r.t. dot com we've got quite revealing story there right back to our top story of the day you know a lot going on some previous purgatory sushi standing by for a sense of petersburg with the latest from the g. twenty summit as the leaders sit down to dinner. well perhaps kevin you're absolutely right dinner champagne but of caviar as well with course we are in some petersburg russia's northern capital the g. twenty for twenty so it's you know re sushi surrounded by a massive crew of ology correspondents cameramen as well as a real pleasure to be here representing the channel for this g. twenty here for this year of twenty thirty and indeed it's been

a busy day for the first day but who knows more than i do with that will be our host of uppishness program venture capital. pilbeam now joining us here at day one . another day tomorrow so far so good so far so good plenty on the agenda i know a lot of pavan saying that syria has been dominating but in terms of finances plenty going on of course the tax evasion a president vladimir putin he was saying the how's been progress he seemed quite pleased us to the progress that has been made so far but the emerging economies we know they have been suffering there's been a bit of a a role reversal going on this is due to the developed world is managing to reignite it is out to take leave us some wash and that's why ben bernanke has said he's going to turn the tap off stop inject it has and in ton that's why the developing world is suffering because investors they're taking that cash and poppy it back now this brings me to talk about sound the former finance minister. but this we know

he's very well respected in the finance well he had a great career here in russia and he said that the global economies almost like to see her said it and this cash is needed it's the medicine is steroids to keep the help they will only know how healthy it is when it's left. i suppose this here the man himself and he's saying what if we can. just go to work. the world's economy its current state can be characterized as being on life support where it's vital functions are being kept running by the federal reserve the european central bank and other banks like constant cash interactions this should only be temporary if a sick man goes through treatment and it doesn't help there's no point continuing it is an ongoing effort now to buy time for reforms and changes but this will end in the world's economies will be left to stand on their own feet which countries economies will be able to stand and which ones won't remains to be seen.

yet suddenly katie is an issue there with mr cooper in there saying which global economies are there they can truly stand on their own feet certainly you know if you want to have a look for example of the eurozone how many areas how many years almost any packages for greece for its only people in oz and as well portugal no one talks about portugal anymore that was going down the drink in the past couple of years yes yes getting too many headlines so certainly as you say katie a lot of big news here to talk about the g. twenty twenty thirty here in st petersburg but on a slightly more fun note what behind you yes the hummocks museum or the former winter palace all of those are you know one of things i russians have told me that the winters in some petersburg a much more brutal than that and more so i had to say what more fish yes yes i have always at the start but actually spent a winter up here also in petersburg you know the head of the bay of finland the baltic sea here the winds get ferocious and with the high humidity it gets very very cold indeed what we're waiting for katie now is tonight

a lot of the world leaders from the g. twenty now heading to the peterhof palace as tonight they'll be a laser show doing also the pictures on the side of the palace as well as artists from the marine ski theater as well going forward to it i'm famous again for the hype i see mr obama that he gets in lays this together have you got an early start to morrow. are you going to go ladies or jim brady if i say i'm going to look at some place it's not i want lime getting to the city why not embrace them hand after business and pleasure but to morrow i am really looking forward to that state because i get into t.v. i.m.f. . christina like god i'm listening to be talking to the head of the aisle or you're talking you're talking big names that could be. a t.v. day two of the g. twenty day be going to be a big one in days already fully set in florida and he will get some good rest and i often later show don't stay up and party and not all night katie not all night so you're fans of research disappointed all right well look the live coverage continues here from the g. twenty summit here in st petersburg and rory sushi with an enormous crew i hope you can stay with us for the next thirty six hours the live coverage continues the g.

twenty live on r.t. from sioux petersburg. thanks guys snow here in moscow after the break find out who reaps the profits from u.s. surveillance on the prison system is the subject of the college to report their own to it right after the break. iraq afghanistan the balkans somalia haiti libya yemen and so on and so on the list of engagements and airstrikes by post cold war nato just keeps getting longer and now it looks like it's serious turn a lot of people have written me asking me to predict what is going to happen next which for me is impossible i am not good at predicting the future but i can say is that we are living in

a very tense moment in history many argue that the us economy with its unfathomable debt is really propped up by war in the petro dollar so if the us backs down here won't could be the beginning of the end for the world's only hyper power but if they do attack syria there will probably be some sort of reaction from iran russia and china if you haven't noticed nato has been trying to encircled these nations and had russian internet conspiracy land a lot of people are saying that russia is next you see if there is no resistance in syria then one by one all resistance to the un ending hunger of nato will be smashed out one by one the reason syria is so important and so scary is that you have one massive military force that could be very motivated to attack for its old self interest while you have a group of massive military forces how they voted to counterattack for their own self interests this is a very tense standoff that could lead to a major moment in history military history but that's just my opinion.

and this is. could you take three years for charges three major and three. three. three. old free books videos for your media projects free radio done to r.t. dot com. hi this is max geyser this is the kaiser report. you know it's all about drones and helicopters in this day and age i have my own little personal drown i'm going to launch it on the tenth avenue.
