this is. the u.n. security council be given new evidence of chemical weapons used by the syrian rebels it was a message from russia's foreign minister his deputies in damascus working on a plan to have syria surrender its chemical weapons what. is in the syrian capital and joins us now she's foreign minister sergey lavrov said that russia will turn for the evidence that it received from the syrian government according to we as the syrian government has the. radical rebels alvey hind the deadly chemical attack here in syria last month for the lord we have

a lot of information about the august chemical attack in ghouta we'll examine all of this at the security council along with the u.n. chemical weapons report we still have to figure out who's behind the attack but let me just reiterate that we have a great deal of information to work with so that the russian officials confirmed that they received this evidence and now we know that they are ready to transfer it to the u.n. security council and that is a breakthrough in the situation of an interview to see russia's deputy foreign minister sergei that quote who is now here in damascus to discuss the deal on chemical weapons design them and. when report is biased or war distorted or it was one sided. conclusions drawn by experts are not we are mean we how the from the far reaching. been produced on that

basis for what we do see each repetition of over that mountain ridge from asian we're told cheryl question of where in this report what you. call for members will be or will we begin talking on what to do next we need to figure out why it is for all and why any group you're an expert is not go or even know yet to syria to continue very. brief. search. for the raw still many questions in this story in this is why most is continuing to call for it to. vest a geisha in order to determine who exactly is responsible for the attack in august and who. was behind that. also do the syrian rebels even have access to chemical weapons before a pentagon official says they do show doughty what he said was

a classified u.s. intelligence document detailing how they could've sarin gas michael. revealed where this compound was produced and you can see sarin gas was allegedly manufactured in iraq and taken to turkey to syria for the documents obtained by also state that someone was confiscated from the front radicals auntie's pull scott's hands on these claims. in may there were reports coming out of the talk was suggesting that a two kilogram cylinder of sarin gas was discovered in the homes of syrian opposition rebels connected with al qaeda through the al nasra front now at the time russia called for an investigation into the reports but. actually denied that the reports were true and said that no such weapons had been found and laced michael maloof explains that that is indeed a possibility i have. a report from

a source who has direct connections with. classified information and he basically told me that the u.s. military did an assessment based upon fifty indicators and clandestine interviews that the sourcing siren originated out of iraq into turkey before some of it was confiscated in may in turkey and that there has actually been more significant amount of crn production both in iraq and in turkey going to the going to the opposition principally al-qaeda and we've had separate reports now that al qaeda elements are rather significant numbers and have and now have permeated into the opposition so the ability to be able to. distinguish who gets what and where is going to makes it much more problematic for

this administration. we contacted the pentagon about that leaked document with the defense department said they don't comment on intelligence matters. brazil the who wants to go to learn from the global web and created very own cyber space it's usually comes out of the n.s.a. spying scandal and the latin american country even prompting present duma who serve to postpone or official meeting barack obama in the u.s. and there's a report now on our reports a brazil is determined to ensure its online security. as the n.s.a. spying scandal continues to undermine america's global standing one u.s. ally is not willing to forgive and forget brazilian president dilma rousseff who has canceled her scheduled visit to the white house next month pulling out of what was supposed to be the first official state visit of u.s. president barack obama's second term it would have also been the first for

a brazilian president in nearly two decades in addition to breaking dates for cilia is also taking steps to divorce itself from the u.s. centric internet while seeking its own sovereignty in cyberspace president rousseff has ordered a series of measures aimed at greater brazilian online independence including storing citizens data locally to protect from n.s.a. snooping according to reports the brazilian government is also planning to lay underwater fiber optic cable directly to europe and also link to all south american nations currently most of brazil's global internet traffic passes through the united states now experts say if other nations follow in brazil's footsteps the us cloud computing industry which stores data remotely could lose tens of billions of dollars in business by two thousand and sixteen brazil's path towards internet sovereignty follows revelations that the n.s.a. intercepted president rousseff communications hacked into the network of the state

owned oil company and spied on brazilians in trusting their personal information to u.s. companies like facebook and google president rousseff says she intends to push for a new international rules on privacy and security in hardware and software next week when all the heads of state gather in new york for the u.n. general assembly on tuesday the brazilian leader is set to open the u.n. g.a. debates and her u.s. counterpart president obama is set to take the stage. immediately afterwards reporting from new york marina port niamh r.t. . meanwhile the proposal has rattled the nerves of the internet giants recent statement from google said its main fear was not a violation of privacy and spoiling the vision of the global network of brazilian technology experts say it's too early to worry if the plans are far from complete. there is a huge criticism here in brazil on the on this proposal the fact is the government

wants to offer brazilian internet users a stronger protection for their privacy the government realized that it could be a way to do it that's a great opportunity not only for brazil but for many countries to really take a stand on internet governance and really try to understand how the future of the internet in communications as a whole will end up coming out of this huge scandal about the n.s.a. leaks so internet freedom has being like the flagship the trademark of all discourse from the u.s. government when it deals with and with internet governance well now that you have a situation like this one is clearly momentum that is building up for brazil for other countries in the global south and for other countries as well to really take a stand on that and try to come up with forbearers solution in a way which you could in a truly moot stakeholder way discuss the future of the internet because it's clear

that the way that we are going now it allowed the situation like this one that we had with the n.s.a. and that's certainly something that created a huge impact for a number of fundamental rights and it is definitely a good opportunity to discuss and to reflect upon a new way to do with internet governance. well coming up on the program america's adepts time bomb and send rose in congress over the government's inability to cut spending with national debt reaching double pre-crisis levels details ahead. with a lot from kerry deal on syria's chemical weapons and light it would appear the international system is returning to some kind of multilateral order the united states remains to world's only military superpower but that same power can now be put into check can washington cope with this new geo political reality. there's

economic frustration attacks against immigrants have been on the rise and the radical golden dawn party is now poised to become the country's third largest political force for the people gathered here today the crisis has taken a harsh told many here say they're simply tired of austerity tired of feeling like they're the ones paying for mistakes made by the government and banks if austerity is the cost of sticking with the euro it seems that fewer and fewer greeks are willing to pay that price for reporting from our friends for our take i'm to see how. well you can that catch all the stories we're covering a much more on our website including wrecking up discontent if the allies accuse of routinely abusing its power and actively misleading congress more than a decade before the whole story you don't come. very near miss for one australian i catch in videos on. you tube dot com slash. u.s.

congressional budget analysts say the country's national debt has now reached seventy three percent of g.d.p. the figure was nearly double the average pre-crisis level and the highest since world war two and the smart to project to decline the federal debt in the coming years the non partisan budget office is warning that debt could still increase two hundred percent of g.d.p. in twenty five years time then to a publisher of the trends journal says costly military ventures are partly to blame . we're squandering our resources fighting all of these unwinnable wars that never end and so the nation is going down economically ninety seven percent of the jobs that have been created this year ninety seven percent are part time jobs you're looking at this so no we even saw the war will make a very bad situation much worse we're going to keep taxing the people just as they

did as the roman empire if they tax the people more and it's not only the states by the way look what they did throughout europe they called it or sterrett it measures you know they cut your pensions benefits or raise your taxes so it's a way of keeping it going until the people revolve. the failure to live up to its legal obligations is costing poor countries at least one hundred billion dollars a year that's according to a report put together by a group of european n.g.o.s they say tax evasion by the rich states in schools in developing countries to news their tax revenues. to discuss this further we're now joined by last left grayness and he's one of the authors of the report thanks for joining us here on our today said tell us more about the problems that this report highlights in your opinion. thank you so much the report as she readily

refers puts the spotlight on one issue which is tax of asian partly caused by european policies but actually the report is covering several areas and it points to a very basic problem in the european union the european union is the biggest stone of development eight but at the same time implement several policies that undermines development in developing countries and as you rightly said. it insists one of the major problems so what are the direct consequence is on the development of poor states of all this excuse me can you repeat yes i can what will be the divest direct result of this for people living in developing states. the direct consequence is of these in clearances we see documented very well in the report for example we have a case with a lady from sandia selling sugar products at her stall and it actually

shows that she pays ninety times. compared to income then the. sugar assembly and sugar company which produce the product that she sells so that's a very. blunt example of. this unfairness and part of the reason why. the sugar company pay so low taxes is because of loopholes in the regulatory regime internationally but also european sex relations so what action should be taken by the e.u. to fix all this then do you think. first of all what we pointed out in the report is that this is basically a matter of political will essentially of course all the problems that we cover in

the report. vary from the nature of the focus area ranging from financial regulation to cultural policy natural resources policy and so forth but in every policy area we've put forward concrete recommendations and in the case we're speaking about here. certainly things to do for the european union first of all to clamp down on checks havens some of them even jurisdictions within the union itself and secondly it's about accounting legislation and financial regulation civil directives that could be changed in a way that the payments and so forth of multinational corporations registered in europe would be much more transparent and thereby allowing developing countries but also europe. citizens to benefit. from the profits they make ok larry still left office and chair of concorde's appearance for development group thank you for

converts from other religions islam says no this is no. people find a sense of direction in the because their religion over a gene has lost not because that you didn't have it in the first. they sort of became a leading and in the relation to the laws of the church. think you believe this way they want to make it more mellow the sun and the tract more people into the church and in fact they've lost something that the church of england disagrees with the death of christian england has been greatly exaggerated despite a decade of naysaying and complaining by ses commentators and groups six out of ten people in england self identify as christians a figure which tries to more than two thirds when including people identifying with faith as a whole and yet there are demographers that say that if current trends continue islam could eclipse christianity as the dominant religion in the u.k.
