a look at the last sixty five years it's pretty clear that israel is intending to continue to bomb in destroy as much as possible in gaza i think it would have been aved to expect that the cease fire would these talks would lead to anything since we have on one hand who works for the israelis or the americans and we have units and yeah really has no motivation no intention to stop terrorizing and stop this brutal violence against. the palestinians in gaza. one hundred billion dollars development bank has been born in brazil a result of the brics summit that's underway there the new financial institution is challenging the west economic monopoly to the benefit of the five emerging economies artie's poor scott is at the summit. well russian president vladimir putin going to meet with the leaders of believe you a year ago i and venezuela for example amongst many others that these countries

5:21 am
the calls for further oversight g.c.a. activity it's an argument that we've heard many times before and it's not one that's looking likely to quieten down any time soon so our reporting from london meanwhile the british government is far from asking the intelligence community to limit their powers to new security law that has been already approved by the house of commons will further expand monitoring capability will make mobile companies keep customers private data for up to twelve months twenty dollars laying an investigative journalist says the government is interested in watching everyone. well it's certainly not going to protect citizens what what how on earth can you protect british citizens by eroding our civil liberties and we just had an announcement this week from david cameron the business spend one billion pounds bought on the violence so rather than running back he said norma's industry which is out of control he's actually want to spend more money on surveillance they've
5:22 am
been doing this in concert with the n.s.a. for so many years now that companies like google twitter microsoft facebook are actually almost part of that surveillance system not interested anymore in going to the courts in order to ask a judge if they want to put somebody under surveillance they just assume that everybody is under surveillance still to come on the program is that a question of human rights or company profit californian activist demand that the business stop selling water from a dragged region. if you want to hear some red hot arguments then you could do worse than listening into a u.n. security council debate here we have russian envoy tired of talking and his u.s. counterpart samantha power laying into each other over the crimea and he once told her not to speak while talking when she raged on with an argument later she said tolstoy in charcoal food being envious of imagination well arty's miniport i found

out who's had the last word in their latest round. the russian and american ambassadors to the united nations usually keep their negotiations and debates within the chambers of the world body headquarters however a tit for tat between the two diplomats is currently playing out in the public domain sparked by something written in the pages of a glossy magazine the august issue of vanity fair features an article on samantha power in which she strikes a bit of a verbal jabs against her russian counterpart here's the context the reporter says he reminded miss power that ambassador vitaly churkin jokingly asked her if she'd join the russian punk group pussy riot after she met with the two famous band members and bassett or power says she told mr churkin that their first concert stop on tour would be where russia holds its political prisoners though regrettably she can't sing the u.s. envoy claims she got the last word in that conversation saying it's what passes as
5:24 am
a small victory oh if only the verbal jabs and snarky miss ended there it doesn't in a statement posted on facebook ambassador churkin says while it did stoke his vanity to see himself referenced in the article he found powers pussy riot tore stop comment to be rather lame saying quote they never performed in guantanamo after all ouch a reference to america's biggest stain on international law and human rights violations ambassador churkin also sets the record straight saying quote i called samantha and explained to her that russia did not have any political prisoners she seemed to be amused and promised to get back to me on this she never did unquote ambassador churkin claims that mr power told him he got the upper hand in that exchange but he says he will claim it as a small victory hopefully when the two diplomats meet once again face to face at the u.n. there will be no hard feelings and the debates can go back to revolve around issues
