forcing the issue russia's foreign minister says the syrian opposition should be made to sit down for peace talks with the government if the u.n. will meanwhile reveal its findings about chemical weapons use in syria they did today. under fire r.t. continues its series of reports from the heart of the syrian war this time our correspondent joins a syrian troops dodging sniper fire on a damascus suburb. and. it's revealed that the u.s. and national security agency is keeping a close watch on international financial operations monitoring banking transactions of customers worldwide.

well he's in comments twenty four hours a day this is. the syrian opposition should be forced to sit down for peace talks with the syrian government or some message from russia's foreign minister who believes it's time to get the opposition on board after the syrian government agreed to destroy its chemical weapons and join the geneva talks without preconditions. has more. the main message put forward by foreign minister lavrov is that time has run out for games this conflict has been going on for too long and so much effort has been made to for a diplomatic peaceful solution to be possible and the opposition in syria according to foreign minister a lateral has to stop making preconditions and if needed it has to be forced to sit down and negotiate peacefully the foreign minister also commented on the latest demands coming from france britain and the u.s. which wants to see the u.n.

security council pass a fresh resolution on syria before the end of the week moreover paris wants to see this resolution under chapter seven which basically gives the green light for military intervention it's the same chapter seven which allowed a military operation in libya in iraq and during the korean war and according to foremost a level of these demands distorting reality and go against the previous agreements reached between moscow and washington and the rules which was put forward and proposed to the moscow it's agreed to as well we are expecting a report from the u.n. experts later on monday which should really shut some light on what happened in august on the outskirts of damascus meaning that alleged chemical attack but it's not expected that the report will actually establish which side used to allegedly use the chemical weapons but it is expected that they should establish whether or

not a chemical attack did in fact take place we're also expecting to find out some details which should really paint a clearer picture about what really happened there the situation currently is still very fragile just remind you there is a heavy international military presence there in the region military intervention is still very much possible earlier the u.s. said they didn't need the approval from the u.n. so it's still very fragile. well most of the world supported the syrian a chemical disarmament deal which russia the us shook hands on in geneva last week rescued a journalist they ask about things washington is trying to take all the credit for itself and downplay moscow's crucial role in the diplomatic breakthrough. you're worried about history she is trying to steal all the credit for everything that's going on from the russians when in fact the obama presidency was see why display which is not all in a russian this is

a plan that was discussed in the. the iranians the russians and the syrians when we were all the brink of war week to see what was going to happen in even before obama you know last minute lloyd this sided to pass the bolt of congress so the old one of presidency essentially was saved by the syrians the remnants and the russians and now they're claiming the ground for themselves. and a syrian opposition will meanwhile get more help from the west as announced by the french foreign minister and his counterparts from the u.s. and the u.k. the un report indicates both sides in the conflict have committed human rights violations and clude such crimes by the opposition have been on the rise as more foreign mercenaries arrived in british defense study has found that nearly half of those fighting against the assad government are either jihad this or hard line islamists who now has the number of opposition fighters breaks down in that defense report one hundred thousand rebel fighters are split into many different factions

and these include al qaeda linked groups about ten thousand jihadists fighting amongst them the hard line islamists in syria are similar but they're focused solely on the syrian war not on the global is mr struggle. well there are moderate islamists which means that secular or nationalist fighters are in the minority parties where if national has been reporting from the front lines and has her report from a damascus suburb where she's witnessed syrian government forces battling the rebels. now underage just a few kilometers from the central damascus it used to be a nice and beautiful very picturesque town where the population of up to three hundred thousand people but it's been torn by questions between the governmental forces and the rebels rebels two years now the result you can see everything is ruined the residents left the only people we can meet here either the army all the militants. fighting against i guess i can't take you at all now we're going

with the army to one of their operations. during a itself or the capital is sponsored a powerful militant belt around damascus known as eastern ghouta the scene of recent fierce clashes it is also where a chemical attack last month brought international resonance in its wake all weapons smuggled to syria through jordan in the sols comes through here providing local militants with a secure supply line for. fire come. here. this is what the syrian war looks like today to urban battlefield provides dense cover and that's work of underground tunnels also shields the militants there is no defined front line and you don't know when your enemy's watching. the syrian army soldiers say they could be snipers

there and they pulled curtains like this one just to protect to prevent snipers from seeing what's going on here. the simple system helps save many lives every day where it doesn't work soldiers just strong. in a full two minutes with travel from one district to another we follow the army as you can see through. buildings through the hells and the walls like this one all these one they're everywhere. and you can't you fall on the pavement. can. you salute is here in the morning is the need. for life. in this war snipers are from both sides of the frontline. is what they do most of

the time waiting for the enemy. in office assures me the map they update every day this is where we are the militants are in this big building the army liberates the town street by street building by building very slowly and very carefully has just addressed militants to surrender their arms promising it will be sweet sometimes to leave their work and sacrifice but sometimes they refuse and we have no other choice but the quite of an american strike seems to be on the backburner at least for now but syrian civil war goes on and on. damascus suburbs syria. but you can follow maria on twitter she has the latest updates from the fighting in syria right now she's tweeting about what's going on in the battles around and ask us. i am.

a western governments are blaming the syrian government for the deadly chemical attack in august and now the country has agreed to get rid of all such weapons from middle of next year and take a look at where the stockpiles are believed to be stored and how you can see that well how the ongoing conflict has divided the country into rebel held and government controlled areas some places still hotly contested rebels have been strongest in the north. the country they area where a chemical weapons storage facility is also believed to be located the rebels could have already had a chance to grab control of some of their stockpiles imminent threats of the u.s. attacking syria may have been put on hold for the disarmament deal that has france now reports some american companies have billions of reasons to see their country go to war. raytheon is the manufacturer of the b g m one o nine better known as the tomahawk missile individual units sell for around one

million dollars it's been the weapon of choice for the u.s. military and has been used in each of america's conflicts over the past twenty years raytheon is the largest manufacturer of guided missiles in the world statistics from the wall street journal show the company raked in more than twenty billion dollars in arms sales in two thousand and ten it's already delivered two hundred fifty two missiles this fiscal year and engagement in syria would likely mean a future increase in tomahawk orders and profits for raytheon its share prices when talk of a four re in syria intensified reflect that between april and august this year stock surged by a third another big shot in the world of weapons lockheed martin the biggest arms maker in the world in two thousand and ten it grossed just under three billion dollars think advanced combat missile rocket manned and unmanned systems as well as aeronautics in two thousand and twelve it reeled from the us budget sequestration

and fiscal cliff just before the last presidential elections lockheed threaten to lay off vast amounts of its one hundred twenty three thousand employees the white house intervened and lockheed martin back down again as stock surge with the beat of war drums then there is boeing it's not only concerned with passenger aircraft like the seven forty seven or the dreamliner just under half of the company's total sales in two thousand and ten came from strategic missile systems g.p.s. and electro optical systems all potentially used in syrian conflict should washington decide to act and to tie it all nicely together it pays to look at the top three contributors to federal candidates parties and outside groups boeing lockheed martin and raytheon all shelling out nearly three million dollars each in the two thousand and ten election cycle to people who may. or breaking u.s. foreign policy the numbers can't be ignored the more conflict american gauges and

the more money flow into these companies coffers the talk may be about saving the world from tyrants but the actions and the figures also point to big money. and some news just in the u.n. inspectors say there is convincing evidence that chemical weapons were used in syria there's no indication yet on who was to blame of course i will bring you more details on that as soon as they're available. later in the program no more cash for questions u.k. government attempts to regulate lobbyists all next with a wave of criticism as charity funding comes under threat bring you the details. america's national security agency is widely monitoring international banking and credit card transactions that's according to reports published by the german magazine der spiegel. relations shows that the n.s.a. is keeping track of phone records tapping person conversations across the globe

belgium also was penetrated by n.s.a. that smells like espionage on the economic level that is to say that the n.s.a. can gain details of what a german bank may be doing what a russian bank may be doing what a chinese bank may be doing and pass that on to their u.s. competitors thereby giving the u.s. competitor an advantage in the financial market how will this affect us using our credit cards and regular banking services on a daily basis if n.s.a. is able to penetrate these so that raises the question of what other agencies and entities are able to penetrate visa and that opens up a pandora's box that can lead to all manner of fraud. to the head few this matter of not so mutual benefit as front struggles to heal its economic moon scientists say it's becoming more addicted to cash flowing from the east found out
