al qaida linked to rebels besiege an ancient christian village in syria with panicked residents i'm able to flee and desperately calling on the army for help. day two at the g twenty follows hours of intense as syria debates a which saw a deep divide over america's a war plan without un permission a you're looking at live pictures of from st petersburg all the g. twenty summit underway. and national in security agencies how britain and the u.s. have been waging an undercover war on internet encryption and digital scrambling as fresh leaks the show they can hack into even the most protected systems.

has just gone past the one pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t live with me tom with a let's take a look at our top story. al qaeda linked to rebels have attacked a christian village in syria home to one of the world's oldest one of streets the army has responded and secured much of the settlement but residents say radical opposition fighters have seized nearby hills and are firing indiscriminately at the community our correspondent in damascus maria from national reports. 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 the 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 rar still 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 vast 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 us 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 and after a car exploded at the checkpoint the militants of just stormed as we have on line and i hope you can see it right now showing rebels. the city and residents have been telling media that the same day the militants managed to take over mountaintop sophia hotel and they've been firing from. poor into what we know is that village is a very special place not only speaking. in terms of syrian reality but internationalist pecan it is home to an orthodox trying for century catholic church and dozens of more sex so it's a religious heritage is very soul that it was protected by the government and it was what we saw 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. managed to speak from let's talk here what she says about the situation and about the fears of the christian minority here in syria i mean that in and here how can the international community ignore the brutal killing spree in the early on august the fifth and the tank that affected five hundred people including children women and all the people in the villages travel as they massacred all the residents and burned down the houses in another village almost all of the thirty 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 were mutilated and beheaded there is even a video that shows a girl being dismembered alive with

a so. well it's worth to mention that malula has very troubled neighbors another village of broods center of smuggling here in syria just twenty minutes drive from my little homes the city known as the percent of the question is one hundred kilometers away from lula 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 taken nor. touched by the rebels but these are just rumors it's very hard to confirm. another day of intensive brainstorming has begun at the g twenty summit in st petersburg it's a fresh chance to try and seek some common ground today once all 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 us go ahead washington accuses damascus of using chemical weapons in the more than two year long war but its all humans failed to convince all lives in petersburg when the details are. is they say what can you tell us about the split. well despite the no loud groundbreaking statements have been made so far at the g twenty summit it has already surprised many firstly because the presidents of russia and the united states haven't had a personal official meeting on their schedule something unprecedented even the fact that the leader of the host nation hosting the summit said that

a political and diplomatic issue must be taken into its agenda it's usually been all about it a lot of problems but political issues dominated obviously it's also on greece a day that but even the goal of dinner last night where all the leaders of all the g twenty countries were present was twice longer than originally expected last that for more than five hours and finished that two thirty in the night and according to the spokesperson of the russian president dmitry peskov the syrian issue was basically the only topic discussed at the table at the dinner in the constantine of ski palace and we have no information we have no official statement from that didn't know what exactly was discussed but we do know from mr fisk off that the country's positions the positions of the g twenty member states were split on the syrian issue of the another indication the clear indication that the syrian conflict has pretty much consumed the economic agenda of the g twenty summit is that the u.n.

special envoy mr brahimi took an emergency flight to come over to st petersburg and talked to both barack obama and let him if we can about the ways to resolve the syrian conflict in a peaceful way. judging by various leaders that early are worried that how in those camps divided. well we cannot say everything with absolute certainty but we can definitely point out the camps let's say this way who is on what side of barricades judging by the statements coming from the delegations of the g twenty member countries now we definitely know that russia and china have not changed their stance on the syrian conflict the chinese vice finance minister said that this would be a potential strike would also create a huge problem for the global economy if the prices on oil would go up same goes for germany and italy who did not openly say they criticize the potential strike on syria but they sat there would not participate in any kind of military action

against the country the same position is expected to come out from the leaders of brazil and mexico simply because they have a very soured relations with the united states at the moment because of the choices the brazilian president is still very offended by the revelations of mr snowden that she was wiretapped by n.s.a. and she demands official apology also we have statements from the un secretary-general ban ki moon who said that the geneva convention having both members of the syrian government and the oppositions at the at the unit cohesion table is still vital it's still the only way to resolve the crisis just as the head of the european commission mr but also and the chairman of the european council midst of the old always all say the same thing that we solution is the only need a solution for the syrian conflict it's also interesting in that respect because of this in some way shows a schism in europe because seven european countries including denmark france turkey . allowed to be of poland they also said they were they would support military

action against syria just as the canadian prime minister said as well so the g twenty summit has always been about this time it's about discord certainly waiting for some kind of joint statement around seven hundred local time but we already know from the presidential spokesperson is that this call that. the no united joint statement on syria from the g twenty member states and this again shows that this time the summit is more about disagreement rather than finding common ways to resolve problems alexia shifty they giving us an update on of the political discussions of the world leaders the after the g. twenty summit. now with the threat of an attack on syria already roiling markets of the world the business community isn't taking well america's decision to end the wind down and it's a stimulus program in fact the brics group of emerging economies are gathering speed in setting up a global bank of their own intended to act as

a buffer to western crisis now we're going to go live to st petersburg call with katie pilbeam out from archies venture capital program she's there live with us you'll be having a guest there to talk a little bit more about the business side of things will get katie in a little while as soon as we get her right now to other stories in the meantime we've got a various live streaming coverage of from of the g twenty summit for you at our dot com here on this channel though a look at the financial side of things in st petersburg there's just a hade ride to the u.s. and not only failed to get anywhere near a unanimous nod for its war plan for syria at the g twenty it's also struggling to convince its own lawmakers and the public that the strike is necessary even though usually stange allies like britain parliament pour cold water on prime minister cameron striver to help the americans and our g.'s

e got these kind of looks at whether there's actually enough proof to back the bombing. the intelligence services of the u.s. france and britain have all presented reports suggesting it was the syrian authorities who used chemical weapons on august twenty first let's look at their arguments open source 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 children 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 argument 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 now 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 claim all the possession 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 reaction is the cause in these countries are not the governments 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 whew 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. the united states congress very much on the syrian intervention is now not far off and pollsters are keeping tabs on the which way the wind is blowing so far it's certainly not blowing in obama's favor now while the senate looks likely to vote in favor of war it's very different story in the house of representatives according to an updated paul by think progress a mere forty three percent pardon me forty three lawmakers say they will or at least likely to vote in favor of attacking a staggering two hundred twelve though say they will vote no or leaning towards rejecting obama's war plan furthermore the president has apparently ordered congress to expand the list of targets in syria for an operation that while inviting rebel leaders to washington for talks.

little bag america's envoy to the united nations launched a tirade against russia for refusing to back washington's plans are for syria take a listen to this there is no viable path forward in the security council the system has protected the parag approves of russia russia continues to hold the council hostage and sure its international responsibilities including as a party to the chemical weapons convention. let's now take a look at worth if it's worth nothing is that the american envoy stenchy refused to name china which mirrors russia's position and it's very it's on syria but investigative journalist salary growth 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 media stepping away from our guaranteed claim that assad was responsible for this gas attack if that's indeed what it was. right the g twenty summit is not only just a mob politics is also about business and joining us right now live from st petersburg is katie pilgrim from our to venture capital program katie at it's day two a lot of money talk up planned for today what more do you have for us on that. yes it's all about business now because we just have the b. twenty leaders saying this is when the business of the big global heavyweight

business while gets to meet with the political one and ask the questions that they want so we know this for a good intentions here at the g. twenty to deal with job creation and dealing with unemployment as well as the stagnate growth of the global economy is in during might now the question is how is this going to be achieved so i've got the frame on to answer these questions right here how it macor right here from the financial institution of course the big questions for you because you with your business month i want to know is that enough being done to you confident that the global leaders can sort out the problems that we're dealing with at the moment two hundred million people unemployed how is this going to be resolved to tell me enough being done. well yes i think there's an awful lot but we've got to get them really focus in terms of the priorities in terms of what it is that's going to create the kind of growth and job creation that we both want so really when you start taking a look at the g. twenty you got to look at the continuity where were you in korea four years ago and

then france and mexico last year and now in russia on this one next year in australia and in turkey so what we want to see is that laundry list of priorities get narrowly so that we've got some of the very specific priorities that are going to lead to that kind of growth in the implementation and we want to make sure that there's progress being made here in the year after so from a b. twenty standpoint one of the things that we've been pushing on very aggressively is those things that are going to create longer term growth and the core priorities that we have pushed back on are trade and investment that's the those two both are the key priorities to you know getting the kind of growth and job creation she want the second what is the nancy for growth in infrastructure between now and twenty thirty the world is going to spend some seventy trillion dollars on infrastructure . on that one so we need to see that area continue to improve and therefore we want to see financial policies ok better going to be me you know i can be helpful you

know to raising that kind of money not limited to the capability of raising that part of the next areas energy and environment and the fourth area is transparency and anticorruption so we think that you know if we can focus on those four key areas that we're going to be able to achieve that kind of growth in the life now as you and i casey were talking just a moment ago there's still an incredible short term orientation. on the on the g twenty leaders so they're focused on unemployment heaped on employment jobs quality jobs and the like and these are the problems that we've got to solve and really it's the. long term issues that you really got to focus on to achieve the kind of growth that will give you the jobs and you're going to talk to you about me federal reserve tapering because this is really hurting guys at the moment see creevy emerging economies they seem to be the ones suffering and tell me is the global

economy ready to pull the plug on these tests in jackson county yes you know and it's a question of when. it's not a question of it. and yes and i think you can ease your way into that. but the economy is growing at a much better rate than most people think you also have a much better distribution of economic growth in the world today than you did five years ago ten years ago the developed countries you know had most of world g.d.p. today you have a much even split between developed developing and emerging markets and therefore you know that you're seeing more growth you know starting to take place you're starting to see much more of a solid recovery on this part yes you know we are ready. you know to start to put more discipline back into the system not what you don't want is to overregulate over text one point where you create an anti-business environment you

want to grow business and partly because you want to put the onus on the business for your entrepreneurship for started small businesses to always be small and medium sized enterprises and all of those are that's where the jobs are going to come from so you want to create this business environment that's very conducive. you know for employment to work right so you can't look at just the problem you've got to look at the long term priorities of what it's going to take my case it's all about a long time i change long term growth meaning not the main message absolutely all right thank you so much indeed very much appreciate your time trying to get a lot of business going on you'll be pleased to know here the b. twenty and empty the g. twenty as well right kitty pilgrim the host of bad chick capital giving business leaders the third degree for answers on the global economy. i don't think you're encrypted into that is unbreakable wrong the n.s.a.

has a way into you know in full i'll tell you more off to the break. but how you would test the intentions of somebody and how would you know the intentions of george w. bush one can launch that war on false pretext is now recognized internationally that saddam hussein never had weapons of mass destruction i think that sharing your point of view in any circumstance is a good thing so if you want to open up another country's eyes to a different source of government or a different type of government or a different type of authority i think that being open minded in taking it in and perhaps there are better ways of doing it than through force like i just said being invasive but i think that to be open minded i guess. choose your language. killing the kid with knowing if you're going to stay still

some. choose good sense to. choose to use the great. choose the stories that if you. choose to be access to. thanks for staying with us here on our team an army of supercomputers converted to work with internet companies and technical trickery this is a force that's a lot americas endlessly and bridges the g c h q to crack into any encrypted system they wanted to get access to the sensitive personal data of millions of uses laura smith is here to help explain just how big this is laura one of these agencies capable of in terms of snooping. well if you read through the newspapers on this

this morning it seems that they're capable of doing practically anything essentially all of the stuff that you do online the emails that you send the banking data that you when you transfer money shopping all those passwords that you've created to protect yourself online even your medical records it turns out that the guarantees that you've been given by the internet companies that all that stuff is protected are rendered practically worthless by this. and of course they can be accessed by governments which is key here but they can also be accessed by criminals who use a century the same technology so this is the national security agency in the u.s. and also g c h q in the u.k. and they've got this battery of methods that they use to get into your personal stuff the n.s.a. it turns out has control over setting of the international encryption norms so it's even at the bottom line of what the christians should be and how strong it should be they've got these super computers which basically use brute force to break codes

and then here's the kicker it turns out that they're collaborating with the internet service providers themselves secretly also inserting back doors into commercial encrypted and software so again on the ground floor and it turns out has made significant inroads into breaking into hotmail google yahoo and also facebook and they've got a variety of ways of doing this of course these agreements with the internet service providers themselves to essentially spy on their customers are key in this and the leaks say that they have agreements with all the u.s. and all the major u.k. ones as well and some foreign ones too but where they don't work or don't stretch to of course there are all of these these direct taps that they've got on what's called the backbone of the internet these cables that run under the sea transatlantic that carry all the internet traffic and then of course intercepting satellite communications so basically you name it they're there and security experts say it's the. if it be an attack on the fabric of the internet

a cell and of course the prithee of. laurie this is very concerning but it will have to leave it right there laura laura smith the telling us more about this as snooping that's going on with all the supercomputers n.s.a. and the british g c h q thank you very much the right up front about heads up next with the worlds apart after the break it's goodbye from me. 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 a possible i'm not good at predicting the future but i can see is that we are living in a very tense moment in history many argue that the u.s.

economy with its unfathomable debt is really propped up by war in the petro dollars so if the u.s. 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 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 own 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. bring it.

russian bride or further display of that beauty will save the world but more than a century later this is yet to be proven what is beauty and what is its place in the world well that i am knowledge oid by miss universe two thousand and twelve

olivia culpo thank you very much for your time olivia of course how would you define beauty. beauty is defined by something that is not only outward i really think that being beautiful is making other people feel good in whatever way you can and that's something that you can achieve just by being pretty it's about what's inside and about what you can give to others what you can make them feel interesting i know that what do you think the title stands for because i understand that you know part of your job is promoting certain brands now but is there anything more to the title then just abandoning your beauty to you particular product absolutely i work closely with me awareness and something that has been carried on for every title there and but for me another important thing is just being able to be a role model for girls i came from a school that was all girls so having that camaraderie is really important to me and i feel like i can help a lot of girls that don't have a lot.
