on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on we go beyond identifying. rational debate real discussion political issues these. are ready to join the movement and walk the. al-qaeda linked rebels besiege an ancient christian village in syria with panic residents unable to flee and desperately calling on the army for help. day two at the g twenty follows hours of intense syria debate which saw a deep divide over america's war plan without u.n. permission. and national in security agencies how britain and the u.s. have been waging an undercover war on an internet encryption and digital scrambling for fresh leaks show they can't hack into even the most protected systems.

this is already coming to you live from the russian capital a marina welcome to the program now al qaida linked rebels have attacked a christian village in syria home to one of the world's oldest monasteries 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 to mask a summary of the national reports. i 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 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 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 a vast armed 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 u.s. 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 are just stormed and we have online and i hope you can see it right now showing rebels. in the city and residents have been telling media that the same day the militants managed to take over a mountain top sophia hotel and they've been firing from. poor into what we know is that a village is a very special play. not only speaking. in terms of syrian reality but internationalist pecan it is home to an orthodox rhine for century carefully 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. the managed to speak from latar care what she says about the situation and about the fears of the christian minority here in syria i mean and how can the international community ignore the brutal killing spree in the. fifth and the tank that affected five hundred people including children women and all the people in the villages trevor 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 yeah brood 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 village was the only one not taken nor. touched by the rebels but these are just rumors it's very hard to confirm. now the u.s. has a hard job to convince its own lawmakers in the public that its potential strike

against syria is necessary and so do america's usually staunch allies britain saw parliament for cold water on prime minister cameron's drive to help the americans which french lawmakers are also deeply divided over r.t.c. were put off looks at whether there's actually enough for a move to back an attack the intelligence 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 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 saw 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 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 way 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 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 of 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 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. now the united states congress vote on syrian intervention is now not far off and pollsters are keeping tabs on which way the wind is blowing so far it's certainly not blowing in obama's favor while the senate looks likely to vote in favor of war it's a very different story in the house of representatives according to an update a poll by think progress a mere forty three lawmakers say they will or are at least likely to vote in favor of attacking us at a staggering two hundred and twelve though say they will vote no or are leaning towards rejecting obama's war plan furthermore the president has apparently order congress to expand the list of targets in syria for an operation while inviting

rebel leaders to washington for talks meanwhile holding little back america's amboy to the united nations launched a tirade against russia for refusing to back washington's plans for syria take a listen there is no viable path forward in the security council the system has protected the prerogatives of russia russia continues to hold the council hostage and sure its international responsibilities including as a party to the chemical weapons convention worth noting is that the american and voiced anjali refused to name china which mirrors russia's position at its vote on syria investigative journalist charlie mcgrath says international trust in washington has all but eroded. it's extremely harsh i mean you know they're at the the front of the u.n. talking about russia holding the security council hostage i mean making russia the bad guy because they're the 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 in and ask me stepping away from are guaranteed claim that assad was responsible for this gas attack if that's indeed what it was when other day of intense brainstorming has begun of the g twenty summit in st petersburg it's a fresh chance to try and seek some common ground after day one saw the syrian crisis split leaders of the world's top economists into two rival camps.

now around half of the g twenty members said no to america's intention to strike syria with the un's go had washington accuses damascus of using chemical weapons in the more than two year long war but a target failed to convince all live now to same bettors work for the details joins us now i just thank you so much for joining us with all the very latest of course from the summit there well as we know syria was not in the official g twenty a janda this time but clearly became its main talking point to tell us how have discussions been playing out so far. with what has been so much unprecedented things during this g. twenty summit over the past two days first of all of course the u.s. and russian presidents didn't have official meeting on their schedule which something happening for the first time in many many years secondly of course that the leader of the host nation of the g twenty summit for the g twenty countries to include a political and diplomatic role issue on the agenda of an economic summit also unheard of and even the goal of dinner last night which is has always been about

enjoying the delicacies and having a business talk has turned into something of a political and diplomatic a battlefield that lasted almost twice as longer than it was originally expected last the for more than five hours and being up at two thirty in the morning and we do not know of course there has been no official statement coming from that dinner what exactly was discussed and how and what points were raised but we do know from the official spokesperson of the russian president and mr discover that syria definitely dominated the talks between the g. twenty leaders and he also said that there hasn't been any single position on whether a military strike should take place or not the country is basically split in fifty to fifty ratio on whether this strike is actually needed also another indicator that syria has pretty much consume to the economic and. the g. twenty summit in st petersburg is that the u.n. special envoy mr but i hear me talking to merge and see flights to st petersburg to take part in the talks to try to listen to the boat both sides of barack obama and

vladimir putin so definitely syria has been pretty much the top story here well of course he had is in the foreground now and as you said there's been a fifty fifty split there in opinions as to who is for and against can tell us a bit more about who is for and who's against at this point. suddenly judging by the separate statements coming from the camps of delegations of the g twenty countries we can say who is on what side for instance we know that russia's and china's position on the syrian conflict and its resolution hasn't changed the slightest russia still believes that first of all there needs to be a viable evidence of the chemical weapons used by any side and also that the u.n. security council must vote unanimously for any kind of military action china at the same time says that the possible strike on syria may cause a huge downfall of the global economy with oil prices potentially going up and this could be serious harm to the world economy pretty much the same stance we can see

from germany and italy who did not openly say no to military action against syria but said that it would not participate in such actions should it happen we can expect the same stance from brazil and mexico mexico have very serious problems in relations with the united states at the moment because of revelations by edward snowden of wiretapping the country's president we also heard from the leader of from the head of the european commission mr but also has said that the only solution is the peaceful one the same basically the same sentiment comes from the chairman of the european the european council missed of on their own and also the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon who said that the geneva convention must be held as soon as possible that is the only way to bring a peaceful solution to the matter he also stands firmly against the military conflict now anyway the european perspective brings another degree to the whole syrian issue because we have news already that the e.u.

defense ministers have agreed that assad bashar assad has used chemical weapons against the opposition that's according to a meeting coming out of their statement but still there is no unity among european countries we do know that seven countries of europe are agreeing that a strike on syria should take place that is front stern. poland. and denmark know that canada shares the same opinion but. other countries of europe are either against the strike or haven't decided yet so this in many ways show how much discord has been there at the summit in st petersburg and despite we're not expecting any. joint statement on the syrian issue that's according to the spokesperson of the russian president still it is pretty much telling the story of how large the disagreement between the g twenty member states on the syrian conflict absolutely thanks so much for your op date from saying that as well there . now was the threat of an attack on syria already shaky markets the world's

business community has reacted badly to america's decision to wind down its stimulus program in fact the brics group of emerging economies are gathering speed and setting up a global bank of their own intended to act as a buffer to western crises and let's go live now to. our tease of venture capital host of the program katie thank you so much for joining us here from st petersburg so do tell us what is dominating the business agenda there. well we've just heard the b. twenty six when the global business leaders get to meet with the political leaders and we know that it's all about job creation dealing with unemployment tax evasion as well as trying to support the emerging economies as well sometimes the business is plenty going on a car like they hold a shelf right here the head of seven sallah buses giant still make it to it's me but some of the topics going on the first will tell me what is being spoken about

in the business community to know that syria is dominating the agenda somewhat but tell me is a lot going on and is there enough going on what it's always thought of as you mentioned issues of job creation economy grows. innovation and of course of course for all of these new economy grows more personal specialty you've also trade with the chairman of for the past first three years and the focus in our american invasion zones in medicine is real for the global trade and through trade you could achieve better growth if you speak specifically about the conditions well for our group here in india for seeming to be exposed to experiments then stuart green room commitment of global economy will become priests . not to extend protectionist measures and extend. so-called money going mechanisms are already started your you should you took in junior morning tory and go for. protectionist measures in the world which we believe we'll

be helpful for the world economy and we'll help the economy grow. trade liberalization it's a it's a feels point and actually we've got the comments you this morning from leaders at the most probably should expect a positive decision involved extension of standstill agreement not on gross or protectionism until two thousand and sixteen at least and second the conditions east to facilitate the adoption of signing call for free to shoot ration agreement should be expect will be successfully negotiated with your and psion in the ministerial conference of the beach or in bali in december we believe it's an important impetus for world trade basically and you move in barriers for three by transborder movement of plates of for goods and services because now the up in additional ecstacy from on the city costs transfer and as a source of water so an effective custom especially just a bureaucracy is too complicated and costly measures and they believe it is just an

induction off with a little cheese and hitchens agreement could according to several surveys in the world economy grows by one billion a year and create twenty one million jobs and we believe it's a good price for a lot of little minor costs on all costs actually at all because morality has really significantly limited girls opportunities on a lack of unless one's persisted also in the circumstances he's played for cetacean could be a good step forward in the us. will send. a signal to her she didn't make it happen and so they can envision relates we so-called preferential digital trade to get even in absence of progress from doha round to be seen. between countries to form regional agreements to overshoot the trade regional of free trade agreements we all know about nafta customs in the russian participation and now in the field of news about the start of negotiations between the united states. europe european

union about a new free trade zone and he would like. to ask global leaders to send the seeds of the disease free trade zone financial great agreement should be compared to build his doublet you're aiming to improve world free trade not to impede it through exclusion of other countries but just. give a better chance is not only countries which are. also as a trade participants to participate in the liberal trade and the. global you just go out of your to give your best practices and make it available for those countries who are in negotiations well to help them to form agreements regionally even if you know with each of you for shooting straight and we'll make it compatible is that with your uncle you'll see with all those policies in mind sounds quite positive in fact encouraging but when will we see the results will they be felt in the real economy the next day after that from if we'll continue

standstill means really annoyed use of protectionism measures and trade means free facilitation and better economic opportunities for everybody for a better economy grows and better quality of life if you sign the hope you'll sign on ministers will sign and disease prevention of disease. in the in-body december of this year basically immediately after for education real impact helping countries to do. procedures which we'll all of us feel immediately after the saying about potential trade agreements. is in the form of regional speech will be helpful and they include you four four four four countries and companies can actually get nice we like it suited the better ok i like the motor stuff thank you very much indeed have a seven star for joining me here today at me on the twenty eighth and indeed the g twenty as well. thanks very much indeed for this katie and that was killed he'll be

in from st petersburg with all the business update. well thank your encrypted internet is on breakable wrong the n.s.a. has a way into your info i'll tell you more after the break. the main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with two. flights for each. from a turkey supplier. let people think your prices purer water. on our teeth. they use it up there and wash their hands. and flush their toilets with the same

water that this series is selling and spraying water. we speak your language i mean some of the will not advance. programmes is documentaries and spanish what matters to you. a little tentative angle is stories. that teach spanish to find out more visit. welcome back here with an army of supercomputers covert work with internet companies and tell them go trickery this is the force that's allowed america's n.s.a. and britain's g.c. h.q. to crack into an e. encrypted system they wanted to get access to the sensitive personal data of millions of users artie's laura smith explains just how big this is. 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 insert when you transfer money shot paying 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 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 in christian software so again in on the ground floor and it turns out has made significant inroads into breaking into hotmail google yahoo and also facebook 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 so essentially the message is from these leaks that if the n.s.a. wants to get into your computer it can but there are some things that security experts say can make it more difficult for them to do that and ultimately that's what you're aiming to do really so first of all you can use this redirecting software enables online anonymity but you can also encrypt your communications again not failsafe not foolproof but it will protect you slightly better another thing the security expert in the guardian is suggesting today is to have a computer that has never been connected to the internet you do all you really important kind of secret work on there and then if you want to over the internet you encrypt it on that computer and you put it onto a u.s.b. stick and walk it literally across the room to the computer that you send it on the internet on also as we've learned don't don't trust. well because that's likely had

a back door inserted into his already by the n.s.a. or g c h q this is heresy exposing the guardian sums it up by saying look you know the n.s.a. . basically efficient at doing this it seems but ultimately they're not magicians they can't do everything and they're constrained by the same financial and economic constraints that all the rest of us are so basically all you can do is make it as difficult for them as possible and just cross the fingers was a look at some other stories from around the world pitched battles have broken out in the chilean capital after tens of thousands of students marched to demand universal education access at least three protesters were wounded and more than fifty arrested as police used water cannon to disperse the crowds and santiago students have been holding large rallies for two years calling for two is expansion education expensive education system another to be made free. a u.s.

drone strike near a town in pakistan's border with afghanistan has killed at least seven suspected militants pakistan intelligence officials say missiles hit a sprawling compound used as a hideout by terrorists america's drone program has resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths in recent years raising considerable tension with islamabad that i've margin goes all out on a media machine breaking the set up next year in our. 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 and the petro dollar so if the us backs down here would 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 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 opinion.

what's up guys i am abby martin the suspect in the sat so no surprise here the serial war drums are still beating the loudly in the halls of congress and the main man drumming that beat as none other than secretary of state john kerry has gone above and beyond this week.
