russia under around the world with me thanks for joining us first syria has made a key step towards implementing russia's plan to remove its chemical weapons the yuan confirmed it has received documents which will see damascus joined the chemical weapons convention this comes amid crucial talks between the top russian on the u.s. diplomats who are in geneva discussing the plan to put syria's chemical arsenal under international control. reports now on the sides have agreed on and sticking points remain. a lot of people holding their breath in geneva and indeed around the world at the moment while russia's and the u.s.a.'s top diplomats meet to try to come to a diplomatic solution for a way of disarming syria of its chemical weapons a u.s. military strike against syria is currently on pause while john kerry and sergey

lavrov meet and try and thrash out a viable diplomatic solution to the crisis now some progress has already been made we've received confirmation from the united nations that they've already received syria's treaty papers to sign up to the u.n. chemical weapons convention and this morning sore a meeting between john kerry. and the international envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi where the leaders all expressed cautious optimism about the prospects of coming to a viable resolution a diplomatic solution to the crisis let's take a listen to the. government. joining the chemical weapons convention we have to show a professional so there goes that was the chemical weapons for if you should have been ization as we agreed with the united nations. to design a road which would make sure that these issues are resolved quickly professionally . as soon as practical countries our presidents are deeply concerned

about the death toll and destruction. the both sides all sides and we are committed to try to work together beginning with this initiative on the chemical weapons in hopes that those efforts could pay off despite talk of working towards a diplomatic solution it seems that there are a number of sticking points that remain between all the sides now one major issue could be the question of timing in his latest interview bashar asad. has said that damascus will start to provide information on its chemical weapons stockpiles thirty days after signing up to the un chemical weapons convention this is something that john kerry has already rejected he's rejected this thirty day timeframe he says that he said last week that bashar al assad should be able to give up all of his chemical weapons within

a week and he doesn't think that that's very viable that damascus will be able to do that that's already led a number of international observers to question how constructive such a strict timeframe from the usa is whether or not it's even viable considering that the process of chemical disarmament is extremely tricky and indeed dangerous now the u.s. military remains prepared and poised to strike syria if a deal is not come up with here in geneva that is what is at stake here at these negotiations and russia has already said that this very strict condition is unacceptable that they are not going to be able to come to a diplomatic solution if the usa is threatening to use force against syria this is something that was echoed by bashar al assad in his latest t.v. interview as well. this won't be about syria signing a protocol and delivering it with no positive feedback it has to be

a mutual process and above all the united states has to give up its policy of threatening syria once we see the united states truly want stability in the middle east refrain from threatening us and pursuing intervention once we see them stop supplying weapons to terrorists then we'll consider this process is truly acceptable for syria and we'll look to finalize it russia should play a major role in the disarmament process we don't trust washington and don't talk to them is the only party that can fulfill this role now. so many tough positions and sticking points that need to be reconciled here in geneva before the end of the day and many now say that it's up to russia and its role as mediated to help to come up with a realistic plan both for ridding syria of its chemical weapons and then implementing it as well so we're expecting a press conference at the end of the day where we are going to see if all of these

major differences have been ironed out and if the two sides have been able to come together and issue a realistic plan and ultimately narrow avoid a u.s. military strike on syria. or is also dominating a meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization in kurdistan a group which represents more than one hundred the world's population the summit so iran's new president insists that any possibility of force against syria must be condemned. the russian president vladimir putin met with the iranian leader for the first time since he was elected and obviously syria was in the spotlight both countries are completely on the same page when it comes to understanding that any foreign military intervention would not only lead to more violence in syria it would risk spreading it throughout the whole region also both leaders of serious decision to sign up for the international convention on chemical

weapons which basically bans the use and the fact that it agreed to the proposal to move control over its chemical arsenal to the international community in fact mr rowhani added that the way this proposal's been acting else or for greece real chances for a peaceful solution in the meantime is now widely recognized including by u.n. senior officials iran is a key player in the region it's a close ally of. there is no way a diplomatic peaceful solution would be possible without getting involved in this summit here in curious dan is a great opportunity for tehran to start doing so. and just kind of the syrian crisis on the current diplomatic effort surrounding it with dominic. who has served as france's foreign interior and prime minister explained why he things the use of force will do nothing to end the gears long bloodshed that. i think we should do our best to avoid the use of force we know that the force without the force without

. diplomatic efforts is always useless that's why the priority to the negotiation but of course we should go forward and we should have results today we have one result to see the signature by the syrian regime of the convention on the ban of to be called weapon that's a first step but that's not enough washington is convinced syria agreed to be designed only because of the real threat of being attacked and bashar al assad says that's not the case or do you think well i think you're firmness is part of the game is showing some results but i think the main factor is the willingness of russia to take responsibility and russia taking the lead. making some proposals this is really changing the. figure of the whole fijian army of the

of the situation threat of military force is now a stumbling block in negotiations and diplomacy as sad ones the threats to end while washington wants to keep the possibility of strikes on the table off the way out of this we know that military strikes are not easy. because there is nobody already in the congress favoring the use of force second because we know that in the last thirteen years the use of force did not gave any result in the international scene we've seen it in afghanistan we've seen it in iraq we've seen it in libya so we know that the solution for syria is not force. and we know also that there is a way to escape from force from the use of. an attack and this way out is to have some results on the ground some diplomatic results in order to find better solutions for the syrian problem that any other interests be behind the u.s. and its allies in wanting to strike syria beyond just punishing assad for the

chemical attack here legibly connected. well first we know that punishing assad should not be by force for that we have. the league delusional legality we have the international criminal court so the answer to punish is never to use force the answer to punish is to go through justice that's the real issue but the main problem today again is to try to protect the syrian people and for that the force is not going to give us any force will mean more people dying on the ground it means new escalation we should not forget that not only we have a civil war in syria but we have a big fight between sunnis and shias and so the problem is not at the level of the use of force and we have seen in iraq that force. only created more problems

we have won the south than people dying every month in iraq so i don't think force is and then they answer is to use diplomacy to have steps going forward and that will eliminate the risk of force if we can have peace again. and his guests on artie's cross-talk program again address the syrian issue later and this time they did raise the recent chemical disarmament proposal made by russia's president and you can watch the full story at seven pm chance here but here is a little taste. which not just the suit him but many other people have been saying is this matter has to be dealt with in accordance with international law while all the great powers discuss everything with security council there are a hundred thousand syrians dead the last time i came on this program i told her twenty eleven there were three thousand syrians dead mark my words if this is numbers off it will be another hundred years of the next time i appear and a hundred thousand after that what is extremely dangerous is when certain countries

the united states bruton to some extent fronts claim that they have a special prayer group to all rights which no one else has to intervene in those situations where they judge what they call international law norms being violated. by the n.s.a. in google's clothing media reports such as the you are spying agency has been gathering private data through a stealth site they all allegedly do so by carrying out so-called man in the middle attacks which help trick users into giving away information voluntarily and here's now how it works imagine you want to find something online you log onto your computer open up a search engine and type in details and now the interesting part one clicking on the globe button your data is being directly transferred to the agency remotely

connected to your internet service provider and that information is checked your request reaches its final destination in the blink of an eye so you wouldn't notice . britain's g c h q is believed to be practicing this same techniques but it's not only governments tracking your online steps university is traced students private data claiming this could improve their education experience . at where good intentions may lead. remember the film minority report it's the one where tom cruise is a cop in the future and uses pass in the day to stop crimes before they happen while the fictional feature is now universities are out allies the electronic trail of students how often they use the library what books they guess out even where they park their cars to create a picture of them and how they learn and they use the data in different ways the

different you need for marketing courses but also to predict which students are likely to fail or dropouts and here's where it is into nineteen eighty-four territory in the dystopian novel any negative thoughts is thought crime every party member has the telly screen in his or her home which the thought police use to watch them and record anything that resembles an unorthodox opinion or in the struggle now look for a university in the midlands says it's considering doing something frighteningly similar monitoring students private emails but negative comments on their university experience to see if they're at risk of quitting. students at the london school of economics are not keen on the idea. that it would be an infringement of my integrity it sounds a bit the cia now i think people are the things that went on i think people are much more kind of them. could be more violated i don't think it's right it's a kill if you can say sure you wouldn't do it in denmark where you come from i

think people would like that i would mom my e-mails to that money. i mean the private e-mails to should have exclusive rights to n.b.c. ok so again private universities do have a good track record for keeping dates of private but the worry here is that there's so much data and of course how it could be used ultimately the information could be used to allocate resources for example if it identifies the type of person most likely to fail universities could stop recruiting those people altogether or not waste money on trying to retain them as students start returning for a new academic year they'd better beware big brother is watching them now more closely than ever. and right after the break. down on protesters in bahrain stay with us for that.

pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today i roll researcher. right. first street. and i think you're. on our reporter's.

hello again this is the welcome back bahrain's reading monarchies threatening legal action against anyone taking part in protests today on saturday and on to government demonstration was violently despised by police meanwhile in london and casing anti-riot equipment intended for bahrain security services so approaches from acts of is demanding the british government stop supporting oppressive regimes but human rights activist syed ahmed awa diy says not even weapon or legal threats will stop the movement for change. we have witnessed a severe a crackdown on the peaceful protests since february two thousand and eleven and

surprisingly those the protests have continued to protest and in fact nothing of them we have seen all the art of entering the train and participating on the crackdown. the. carry on they did not only with the more restrained the government the more burned the basically issue the more people are more determined to continue i mean we have seen the last month they stopped the people from protesting anywhere in manama and yet there is ongoing the process than minima people are determined to continue to be there more repression they face the more they are clear about achieving the demand for freedom and democracy. as always we got more news online for you including from the wire said figures shima so graceful the crippled the site admin the situation there is out of

control had to call for more details of the crisis delayed for sanity. and also the flames ravaged a seaside tourist park in denmark in the state of new jersey devouring fifty businesses including an ice cream shop the dramatic the dramatic footage is in our website for you. now blaze in a psychiatric clinic in northwestern russia has claimed thirty seven lives including a nurse who died trying to rescue others twenty three people managed to escape the fire which witnesses say had been caused by one of the patients to france has the details. the fire of reportedly broke out in the evening hours and in me in a wooden annex of this facility in the northwest of russia near the village of luka . and ward many of these patients were bedridden at the time

witnesses are saying that they saw a person within the facility who was engulfed in flames before the structure caught fire obviously investigators are taking a very serious look at this and trying to ascertain the cause of this blaze now crews arrived within minutes but it is said there was very heavy smoke and rescuers have spent the morning searching the surrounding areas to find possibly any patients who escaped the fire and run out into the into the areas surrounding the facility in are possibly still hiding so many many concerned people out there trying to find people who may have survived this blaze one nurse it's reported died trying to save patients now the martis emergencies ministry has said that it's cited this facility for safety violations and the facility had until august first of twenty fourteen to fix those so obviously that's being looked at very closely on the under very tragic morning in the village of luka what really brought fire

safety into focus the infamous lame horse nightclub in december of two thousand and nine one hundred fifty six people killed this was because of a pyrotechnics show on stage at the at the night club one leaf of a double doors was sealed shut and that really brought fire safety into focus here in russia and unfortunately tragedy has struck again last night and this morning in the northwest. and some other global headlines this hour in the rock at twin bombing and near a sunni mosque code at least thirty people and injured dozens the blast targeted a wash because as they were leaving friday prayers that came just two days after of a session as were killed in explosions that struck a most conduct on that sectarian violence in iraq has since to thousand days with of a five thousand people lisa. and there lies this year. found guilty

and are due out in their masses across the country but the key political figures in are going to great lengths to get french consumers to buy more homegrown products to boost the economy r.t. stressed r.c.a. reports now on a new potion to buy local and think national when france's industry minister struck a pause looking as french as one can be consumer affairs minister been one more thought it was a joke. this is a real photo of on new moon. i don't believe it was only when the value. in fact of what it was message was serious choose french products of or foreign made ones to help more of their countrymen and keep jobs and appeal to french patriotism in the face of a thirteen year high unemployment rate with the number of jobless hitting three million for the first time a move that comes as france talks about reforms to restore global competitiveness

a critical priority says the international monetary fund. a recent study suggests that if consumers were to buy only french made goods they would have to spend between one hundred three hundred euros more each month and amount that would stories an already weakened purchasing power because of all the publicity the french are even more aware now are made in france products versus those coming from the outside but most of the time the difference could really be seen in the prices of the goods of this one for example is peaches from spain it costs for ninety five per kilo rather this one which is clearly marked made in france cost six and ninety five per kilo that's a two year old difference so the question here is how well it will decide d.s.l. to the french. we definitely know i won't spend three hundred extra you have to find this money first. yes if i have the money certainly. it is no i think globalization allows us to find cheaper goods you know it when you

look at the product you know a. shirt or whatever. bottle he has been dug into in france but bought over the been done as well in fact a french political parties have been accused of hypocrisy as a local newspaper's investigation last year she lection campaign materials had been made in china back when they were rocco you name it. here for example this little case is made in china so i'm not afraid buying things in china that's the part the point is we have. no hope in france at all is a d.c.m. is a brand that takes pride in having its manufacturing base in france its director says the study more is an important point that paying more to support their own industries creates local jobs it is far less of an economic burden than the cost of

three point two million unemployed big amount of those stocks of course. the social care we have in france and a big moment of the social care is employment so we'd move we would be much more healthier in france and with lower deficit public deficit if everyone was to have a job the world trade organization has criticized this campaign as patriotic protectionism as france's economic why why it's getting trickier to manage politicians seem to be grasping at straws the government's new call to arms may look good on paper but its critics point out it could end up an economic fall past . juster sylvia r.t. paris. and coming up here in a sad how one major company turned a fling whistles into and multibillion dollar industry still.

david silver and president of american atheists initially had his request for a custom license plate with the word atheist on it rejected atheist written with a one as the i was deemed to be just too offensive after some pressure the new jersey motor vehicles commission caved and allowed the plate this is only logical because a properly spelled atheist point had already been in use i look at this two ways one if you're going to give people the freedom of choice of expression then some people are going to express themselves in an offensive way so if you're terrified of offending people then why not just give everyone a random plate with a random number and no one will be offended at all or to if you really believe in freedom of speech and expression all that then allow drivers to pick whatever they

want and be responsible for themselves if someone throws a brick through their car window for having an ultra offensive license plate and if you want to express yourself or express something really offensive on your car then you better be prepared for some blowback or at least a few people spitting on your windshield but the show just my opinion. russia has formally presented a proposal for the disarmament of syria's chemical arsenal plan amir putin has personally appealed to the american public and political establishment to give negotiations a chance in war torn syria so tough questions remain primarily whether washington can restrain from its homage to abusing brute force. ah. the population of pakistan totals one hundred eighty million

and it's still growing in lahore alone there are ten million people clean drinking water is in short supply. for nestle introduced pure lies bottled water was a rare sight in pakistan. now nestle dominates a vast market that it created itself i grew up in a city where you could go just like anyone else for you also water and you would get a glass of water for free without any fear of its quality or it sounds and what's happened over the last ten to fifteen years i mean in my own consciousness is that i have seen and witnessed a replacement of drinking water a commodification of drinking water. i would see that it's nestle that's done it it's been a confluence of factors nestle appeared on the scene it started providing your life drinking water and all of a sudden coca-cola shows up that's the shows up and then a whole bunch of private local manufactured water school shows up as well all producing clean water water clean.
