2:15 pm
and gas reserves there are a lot of them in patagonia. ok well since we get the bullet points from we will of course update you throughout the course of the evening that was a live news conference there between the russian argentinian presidents. britain's publicly funded health service responding carved open by american health care giants according to protest is in london who are anxious about a plan trade deal between the e.u. the united states the marched of the e.u. office in the british capital and polly boyko was there to. but this protest is all about what could end up being the biggest trade pact in history the u.s. and the e.u. are negotiating over the potential creation of a massive free trade area now washington and brussels say it's all about the creation of more jobs roosting the economy and making more joyous more your arsenal to make the most fun as you can here by the slogans and the banners that deal has
2:16 pm
more than its fair share of a home and here in britain there's a particular concern over the future of the national health service the universal medical care system that is being asleep guarded by a lot of people here in the u.k. now the coalition government as part of a shake up of the n.h.s. has already contracted out an increasing number of services to private profit making companies and the worry is that this deal would allow u.s. companies to come into the n.h.s. and privatized parts of it irreversibly said the protesters here are demanding that the national health service the british national health service is kept out of the potential us e.u. trade agreement entirely now of course these talks are being held in secret that worries protesters as well they simply don't know what's being discussed but the main e.u. negotiator has assured that the future of the n.h.s.
2:17 pm
will be fully safeguarded so briefer than the pros and cons of the t t o p agreement supporters say it will benefit europe by creating new jobs and generating a hundred billion euros a year the air is potentially affected by the treating clude the environment investment health care education and labor critics though say the deal will open the doors to things such as fracking and genetically modified food and maybe lead to a corporate takeover and declining wages to the agreement as a golden concern in europe germany peter all of us spoke with civil rights campaigner michael airflow about the possible threats posed by the treaty. what are the major concerns for germans about the tea tape negotiations. in germany there are a lot of citizens who are worrying that european standards will sink we're talking about consumer protection and environmental protection those standards are lower in the u.s. there are also worries that international investors and corporations will receive
2:18 pm
special legal treatment that will lead to the abolition of some environmental and social protection laws. in the last two weeks we have seen the relationship be somewhat strained with regards to spying but do you think that would have any kind of impact on the negotiations for the trade deal all is this pretty much already a done deal chimney all set to sign that part of it is going to cause i don't believe it will have a significant effect on talks it's going to take until the end of two thousand and fifteen when negotiations should be completed this current affair will be forgotten quickly and i think negotiations will continue as if it didn't happen thank you very much it does seem that despite germany taking the unprecedented action of expelling that cia operative and seemingly standing up to the united states when it comes to trade they are going to sign this deal despite the concerns of some of the citizens here in germany. well talking of spying and trade coming up the changing role of drones from being deadly to bringing deliveries the military of but given

2:22 pm
quickly in developments in commercial drone technology feed into military drone technology third reason it's also probably bad for working people it's a form of automation but displaces jobs for three reasons is that with many drones in the skies it's going to be very difficult to identify them not to mention the whole issue of privacy we already have a government with the n.s.a. poking into our business we don't need more surveillance in this country. play more stories here online as well including the bullets which always hit their mark whichever way you aim them thanks to self guided ammo that now being developed by the us seems that snipers will soon no longer need to be good shots plus to dig deeper into the mysteries of love what we have here will archaeologists is celebrating finding this pair of romantically in twine skeletons the romeo and

2:25 pm
state in a convoy of over a hundred vehicles including ten tanks ceased from syrian government forces for several years now u.s. officials have been trying to create this image of the syrian opposition as former teachers farmers and dentists fighting against bashar assad the speedy advance of the isis showed just how much more complicated the situation is the obama administration began to stumble when answering questions about the contradiction between u.s. efforts in syria and now in iraq. oftentimes the challenge is if you have former farmers or teachers. or pharmacists. who now are taking up. opposition against a battle hardened regime. with support from external actors that have a lot at stake how quickly can you get them trained washington is still determined
2:26 pm
to continue arming the syrian opposition the white house has asked congress for half a billion dollars in aid for the syrian opposition and you have many hawkish lawmakers here who want just that the white house the forces there are now providing weapons to our moderate but what does moderate mean in that part of the world where everything can change overnight we get into this conflict between who is a radical and who's a moderate and who we're going to arm and then people change sides look what happened in iraq in recent years and it gets so confusing that even the experts don't understand it and get all tongue tied when they try to describe it in light of the onslaught of these lawmakers state you can often hear the criticism that in its zest to remove assad washington may have overlooked the threat of this radical group in washington i'm going to check on our team. thanks for being with us now
2:27 pm
before i disappear for this just to take over the books that we were showing a lot of media conference with the russian president's talking just now we thought it was over but we hear apparently president putin may be talking to the media again in the upcoming minutes don't know why don't we going to talk about as soon as that will take in life to it meantime the next about international martin challenging the mainstream media and if in the u.k. you've got sputnik for you with george galloway. when people talk about human rights violations you should involve some pro western protesters getting beaten up and response with mainstream media is usually to bomb somebody somewhere so good thing they haven't picked up a story from detroit that the u.n. is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city or sadly the former motor city

who are hundred fifty dollars or more behind on their water bills are getting their water shut off completely the detroit water and sewage department is five billion dollars in debt and that is the justification to crack down on deadbeats on the surface the seems like an open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near a huge bodies of fresh water that other cities can only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of a right to water but a right to decent employment in a corruption free city government back when people in detroit had good salaries and a government that wasn't flagrantly corrupt they would have any problems paying for their water bills but that's just my pain. right now seeing. first rate. and i think you're.
2:29 pm
partly. that's out in focus i'm having martin and this is breaking up the set so between speaker of the house john boehner so you know obama over obamacare and the gazelle impairing on the i.r.s. scandal to say that congress is getting nothing done would be a severe understatement but yesterday the senate actually managed to take a big step forward on one of the most important reasons why our current representative system is so toxic and corrupt campaign finance seen a ten to eight vote the senate does.
