thanks. to our. day two of the g. twenty follows hours of intense assyria debate which saw a deep divide able america's war plan without you would commission. all coddling dreadfuls procedure an ancient a christian village and syria with panic residents unable to flee and desperately calling on the army for help. and national insecurity agencies how britain and the u.s. have been waging an undercover war on the internet encryption and digital scrambling as freshly to show they can haggle even the most protected systems.

it's friday morning here in of the russian capital you're live with us on our team with me tom would say it's good to have you with us another day of intense a brainstorming i hate at the g twenty summit in st peter's brick it's also a fresh chance to see some common ground after day one saw the syrian crisis split leaders of the world's top economies into two rival camps. around half of the g twenty members said no to america's intention to strike syria without the un's go ahead washington accuses the masters of using chemical weapons in the more than two year long war but its arguments of fail to convince on live to st petersburg now for the details artie's alexia share ski is there a legacy although no not on the agenda syria proved impossible to avoid how much of leaders time was devoted to syria yesterday.

we've already used to saying the word unprecedented relating to the g twenty summit in st petersburg and it's also unprecedented that the president of the host nation sat in the very first address that he wanted syria to be discussed despite that this is supposed to be if you really economic summit obviously this sign that the syrian conflict dominated this particular agenda is that the goal of vienna which the member states which the president of the member states had last night which was supposed to be all about having a party having a casual talk having the delicious food at the constantine of the palace turned into. a lengthy and very difficult negotiation on the syrian issue and it lasted for more than five hours as far as we understand no official statements came from that but according to the spokesperson of the russian president become trees did indeed discuss syria for the majority of their time there and the position of the

g. twenty member states on the syrian conflict split approximately fifty to fifty. among the members of the g. twenty group now also a clear sign that syria is the most important issue here is that the u.n. special piece and where mr brahimi flew in specially to st petersburg to discuss the issue with both sides opposing the strike on the country and those supporting it were understand that mr brahimi will be holding most of his talks with the presidents of the g. twenty member states during the day and it is sounds like an uncomfortable thought they have now is that actually clear which members could be for all against the u.n. the u.s. intervention in syria. well as i said nothing official came out from the country so far we are certainly expecting some sort of joint statement during the day later on but judging by the statements made in the margins of the summit we can see which

countries are supporting the strike and which countries are opposing it certainly the position of russia and china are staying the same on the case they are strongly against it just as obviously. the countries like argentina india indonesia several other states like brazil and probably mexico also not supporting the strike just as it's in the also said it would not support the military action against syria also we have a statement from the head of the european commission the mr barroso who sees no possible military solution to the problem only a peaceful solution he called on president obama to reveal his evidence of chemical weapons used by the assad forces as quickly as possible even though that hasn't happened yet as far as we understand also we have the statement from the pulpit also sad that the. military solution is not the solution for the syrian call think

it needs to be resolved in a peaceful way and we also have a statement from italy which also was aiming to make a strike to abstain from any possible military action against syria on the other hand on the other side of the barricade as we can put it in this case we have several european states including. denmark frons poland romania turkey is also supporting the military action against syria. also we understand of course the united states and. obviously suggesting this strike they are trying to persuade their allies in this case and we may also expect canada and australia to. support the military action against syria so it's definitely a roller coaster ride here so much discord and disagreement again as i said unprecedented for the g twenty summit and today we're expecting. a lot of the

foreign ministers of the g. twenty countries maybe some statement will come out of that and at around four o'clock pm local time we'll have a press conference of logical person who will also reveal what the size man is to talk about yesterday during the gala dinner a roller coaster ride with the leaders still divided u.s. intervention plan for syria that's alessio there reporting live from russia's the nor the city bring us the latest from the g. twenty summit china says a strike against syria will not only violate the country's saving tea but also be a disaster for the global economy the director of the center for arms control at the time is the institute of international studies outlined to beijing stands to r.t. china worst criticize in the in the pasta two and a half years since the very beginning of the syria crisis by their western countries i don't think you know about muslim issues in words very happy you know

the position or the you know the attitude taken by the chinese government to the u.n. security council you know we several resolutions are proposed by the u.s. side and so i think this is our we're pretty simple you know our foreign affairs our foreign policy diplomacy so we have a two week for the final result of the international inspection team the use of chemical weapons in syria. the u.s. not only failed to get anywhere near a unanimous nod for if war plan for syria at the g twenty it's also struggling to convince its own lawmakers and the public about the strike is necessary even usually staunch allies like britain's parliament pour cold water on prime minister cameron's drive to help the americans are going off i looked at whether there's

actually enough proof to back the bombing religion services of the us france and britain have all presented reports suggesting it was the syrian authorities who used chemical weapons on august twenty first so let's look at their arguments opensource reports are presented among the key evidence by all three services instead of being tucked safely in their beds at home we shore rows of troops lying side by side sprawled on a hospital floor open sources are actually videos on you tube and social networks this brings us to the second arguments presented once again unilaterally its knowledge of previous chemical attacks allegedly conducted by the assad regime un experts however still haven't been able to agree on whether or not chemical weapons were deployed during the conflict in syria and why which side now argument number three washington paris and london claim intensified fire in the area of the alleged

attack is another sign the authorities were behind it this way they allegedly tried destroying the evidence finally the fourth key argument presented by all three is that the rebels are simply incapable of using chemical weapons there is no credible intelligence or other evidence to substantiate the claims all the position of chemical weapons by the opposition. earlier the u.n. said it had evidence suggesting otherwise so it's pretty clear the arguments are completely the same but interestingly the reactions they cause in these countries are not the government's amendment does not mention compelling evidence against president assad i will seek authorization for the use of force from the american people's representatives in congress i'm waiting for an answer from cannot act on its own so as washington waits for congress paris for washington and london has dropped out altogether u.s.

senators are set to make a decision on the issue next week meanwhile russia has presented findings from its experts who looked into another chemical attack which killed twenty six people in march there are reports that just said rebel groups were behind the attack here's why now the shell carrying the substance was apparently similar to homemade devices previously made by rebel linked groups in addition of the cells a de detonator was not what normally use was standard chemical munitions the findings also indicate the soil and shell samples contained the nerve agent sarin which was not of an industrial standards u.k. counterterrorism intelligence officer charles issue bridge that it is the argument that the assad government so really has such weapons. the u.k. based opposition supporting body the syrian observatory for human rights common to most of those killed in the attack reported at the time were indeed syrian army

soldiers which again would suggest that it was a syrian army accident obey that the russian findings now tend to show or suggest is 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 inverted commas that is being 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 is contained in doubt about the manufacture of the sovereign 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 toward syria rebel use rather than syrian military use possibly. by some estimates a punitive bombing attack against syria will stop the u.s. backed twenty billion dollars but arab monex is see a way out there offering to pick up the tab for washington and finance the entire operation otherwise for them it means relying on radicals in syria to do what the americans want. has war on the gulf off the u.s. secretary of state john kerry told lawmakers that if washington carries out a military attack against a mask it's on its own some arab countries have proposed to foot the bill for the entire operation and their cause top diplomat says the offer is currently on the table so in theory of for us in missile strike ends up being funded by arab. countries an offer that kerry secretary kerry says is on the table this essentially means that the u.s. military will be working as a contractor or

a mercenary force or block water if you will for its arab partners mr kerry told us representatives that being militarily bankrolled by arab countries is not in the cards that 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 lack 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 funding the opposition such as saudi arabia and qatar which are america's allies will begin giving more money to extremist fighters so going by this rationale this means that the u.s. must strike syria to prevent its own allies from strengthening radical rebels

clearly what we see is that many countries have their own agenda that are playing a. role in this ongoing syrian crisis hold a little little bag of the u.s. envoy to the united nations launched a tirade against russia flew fusing to back washington's plans for syria take a listen to this there is no viable path forward in the security council the system has protected the parag tubes of russia russia continues to hold the council hostage and sure of its international responsibilities including as a party to the chemical weapons convention. i worth noting is that the american envoy staunchly refused to name china which may or as russia's position and its votes on syria charlie mcgrath are from wide awake news that says international trust in washington has all but eroded it's extremely harsh i mean you know they're at the front of the u.n.

talking about russia holding the security council hostage i mean making russia the bad guy because they're you know putin is one of the only people in the international community who has the you know i want to say courage to stand up and ask super commonsense questions who benefits from this and let's not rush to launch one point five million dollar tomahawk cruise missiles because we have a five page report that is in large part made up of you tube clips and twitter feed i think the world is war weary and they're no longer trusting the message or the messengers so it's not a surprise to me that the international arena is stepping away from our guaranteed claim that assad was responsible for this gas attack if that's indeed what it was. to rebels have attacked a christian village in syria i'm home to one of the world's oldest want to st the army has secured much of the township but residents a say radical opposition fighters have scenes and nearby hills and firing

indiscriminately at the community and let's not question our correspondent in damascus maria phenomena maria you've tried to actually get into this christian a village what's the situation like the. well yes we tried to go to my little village shortly after we heard that the clashes erupted there and it's just one hour drive from damascus north of the capital but we were stopped by here army and warned that it could be a one way ticket because first of all the road from damascus to milo is not safe but even if we're lucky enough to get. to the village the clashes still continue there and the raw are still some snipers who are active on the ground so the situation is very dangerous so it's better not to go there as we were told we're hearing that the fighting is between the army and the militants mostly from. al qaeda affiliated groups fighting here in syria. against the regime of bashar assad

but mostly for their own radical islamic state and it's known it's believed to be the best and the most successful and at the same time the most aggressive opposition force here in syria and it's listed as a terrorist organization by the you when viewers and some other members of the international community and we can see that the tactics were also. very similar to those that terrorists all around the world use we know that. early on wednesday. suicide bomber struck a checkpoint at the entrance of my little village we've been hearing reports that it was and nami checkpoint but the military confirmed that at that checkpoint or was made of the gate of the village was protected five members of the national committee so they were all local residents maybe even civilians and after

a car exploded at the checkpoint the militants of the storm and we have online and i hope you can. right now showing rebels. in the city and some of them are on truck with heavy. machine guns and they're firing with different directions and residents have been telling media that the same day the militants managed to take over a mountain top saffir hotel and they've been firing from. poor into the whole community towards law and before and shortly after that the army appeared at the scene and the clashes started that. very moment. maria there have been a number of incidents between rebels and minorities i mean the reporters slaughter of about four hundred kurds

a month ago by al nusra front fighters attacks on christians in here is the suggestion conference growing. well it's very hard to say but what we know is that malala village is a very special place not only speaking. in terms of syrian reality but internationally speaking it is home to an orthodox trine and for century carefully church and dozens of more sex and it is known as. the only place on earth where residents local residents in the shelves in there during their daily life they are made the language that jesus christ believed to think so it's a religious heritage is very soul that it was protected by the government and it was. during this crisis respected by the rebels but after this recent attack of

course the whole christian community not only here in syria but all over the world was shaken and let's not listen to one another on. the managed to speak from latoya care what she says about the situation and about the fears of the christian minority here in syria. how can the international community ignore the brutal killing spree. earlier logs the fifth target affected five hundred people including children room and all the people in the villages trever they massacred all the residents and burnt down the houses in another village almost all of the so to seven locals were killed only ten people were able to escape twelve alawite villages were subjected to this horrendous attack it was a true slaughter house people who were mutilated and beheaded there is even a video that shows a girl being dismembered alive with the so far. well

it's worth to mention that malula has very troubled neighbors another village of brood center of smuggling here in syria just twenty minutes drive from my little homes the city known as the percent of the question as. it's been in news. during. the crisis here in syria is less than one hundred kilometers away from malala but it's never been seen to question. this village itself so it was protected and was respected as i said but we are hearing from some free syrian army members that from some opposition members that the idea of attacking this village was to clear the road from the city of homs in central syria to damascus because. this religion was the only one not take the north. part just by the rebels

but these are just rumors and it's very hard to confirm the situation is escalating every day so many casualties maria for national in a damascus reporting the live for us could it israel's idea projection plan b. a step too far it's launched a biometric database you battle identity theft but previously campaigners worry about the government potentially having also to those faces and fingerprints on while reporting that later. and europe has plenty of good to give those in every vehicle to forcibly stop or europa's a driver's a from speeding reporter and how that's going down in the u.k. . an army of supercomputer is converted to work with internet companies and technical trickery this is a force that's allowed america's n.s.a.

and bridges g c h q to quake into any encrypted system they wanted to get access to the sensitive personal data of millions of users it's emerged from the latest edward snowden leak which says online banking and even medical records have apparently been breached chris kids. who establish an encrypted secure service says it's alarming who can potentially get their hands on such information. it's not only industrial espionage think about the value of you know how many people have access to this huge treasure trove of data there one point four million people in the u.s. who have top secret clearances are all those people engines i don't think so so you have the issue of who has access to this data and mr snowden was able to get quite a bit of it so you know he's obviously he's not alone there are at least thousand to probably tens of thousands of other people who do it what's valuable for for political blackmail it's hugely valuable if you had all these private conversations

from a political opponent think what you could do you win every election this is basically something that's completely worldwide and you know you should assume that it's anywhere if you're anywhere in the world and you're using something electronic that someone is listening and getting a mug shot fingerprints taken usually reserved been up to no good in israel though it's been used to come but id folate but not everyone's happy that the government's planning to hold biometric info on every citizen as a model is a correspondent policy with more. for sixty days your of moore's every move was watched by the names of fifty cameras and the eyes of complex fans of israel's version of big brother contestants of the hit show often complain it feels like their lives are owned by the viewers but for your of that really happened after beating the house when his identity was stolen. a couple of weeks ago i received a phone call from the police at first i thought i was being pranked but then i

realised it was very real they do arrested somebody who'd been stealing id he also stolen mine and opened many bank accounts with it a week later i received a letter from a company asking me to pay thousands of shekels and it's exactly because of like this that says it wants to pull out all the stops to protect its citizens but many complain it's now going a step too far the technology is nothing new you put your finger here and then you look into this camera and it all gets recorded but what has people up in arms is the fact that all this information is going to be recorded in one governmental database that may not be one hundred percent secure the cost in privacy terms and in financial terms of giving your finger and your face to the government is too heavy it creates a risk a risk that the database will lead or be used against you by corrupt individuals or corrupt civil servants the to your pilot is asking citizens to voluntarily scan

their faces and fingerprints once the information is collected it will be accessible without a court order to the police army and security forces when there is a court order the entire daughter base could then be transferred to other agencies including foreign bodies and the film which would involve. nineteen eighty-four is ancient history compared to this there is another side five book called my name is legion in the book all of the people were categorized by the government we are getting closer to the future if not in this generation than in the next one baby's d.n.a. could be taken upon birth. if successful the national biometric database will become compulsory. every person who uses facebook or social networks gives away biometric information we're tired in those photos we give away our locations we give our biometric information to private companies and no one thinks it's a big deal for some reason there's

a bad reaction when it's the state that the state will use the information to protect us so we need to take this into consideration but even you have thought nothing about having dozens of cameras follow his every move in the big brother house is against it. i don't know who will see this information how it will be used the government will know everything about me and where i am. something many argue is already the reality you don't need to be in the big brother house to live in a big brother world policy r.t. . is wrong. or is that the world's largest retailer lashing out to you a supermarket giant for wal-mart is the biggest private employer let's start saving need a decent a minimum wage somewhere rested we've got this story at our dot com. and rochelle will hold a wonderful pics with the words of the president she was given the preparations his

seal of approval on a website all excitement over the winter game is heating up. if you're a driver in the u.k. you should make the most of your time alone in new york before the european commission sits in there with you and wants to install an automatic foot on the brake in every vehicle for when motorists a breach of the speed limit is arching political on brussels backseat driving plan . got a need for speed of fancy yourself as a bit of a petrol head perhaps well lawmakers in brussels are thinking of ways to slow you down the european union wants to improve its road safety record and they're coming up with innovative new ways to do it the latest proposal fitting all cars with a technology that would read a road speed limit and automatically slam on the brakes if you go over it so in the u.k. that would mean a limit of seventy miles per hour and matter how big your engine is so we decided

to find out what some of the members of london's for vireo owners club think about the idea of the fun out of drawing wouldn't occur isn't that you've got this one at the moment but i've got various other classics and we just had the fun of the whole scenario thing it's something disappointing for everyone if somebody saw for you but it's like going to vince on congo so many different cars so if some of them are applying. the new technology i'll be ok but on the special in the sense of control cause you know think you some people sleep because if they if they realize that they're being controlled by speed or forget to drive they'll forget to be aware so poor drivers will just simply cause more actions even though they're going this quickly so if people are so worried about people not being able to make the right judgment call then we need better education not draconian rules where one size fits all they're exempt to that law we can't do that no not sportscar but that and i would sports car.
