well when it comes to the g twenty v.i.p.'s snooping or to contribute or option we're told so he told us britain has served as a surveillance platform for the united states for decades. i think that kind of blanket surveillance we're talking about fake internet cafes in education being set up blackberries routinely monitored that surveillance is being used and of course with their own the rage and presuming they were trying to make those talks amenable to washington and british interests these kinds of revelations show that when government such as britain and the united states come close to worrying they will use this to try and persuade different officials of different governments to sway them for many years written knew or some british people realized that the national security agency was basically using the united kingdom and the largest spying outfit in the united states is here in britain but who runs the spying who or where is the sovereignty and perhaps british people will realise that they are living in a state where t

it's hardly surprising this is all very embarrassing at the start of this year's g-8. this was the reaction from the head of the russian parliaments international affairs committee. it's a scandal, the u.s. and british special service tapped medvedev's phone at the 2009 g-20 summit. the u.s. denies it but we can't trust them. it's a total lie. now, you might think it ever so slightly hypocritical of the russians to complain about people spying on them and some people might argue it's hardly new the diplomats are interested in listening to each other's conversations, certainly in civil liberties terms, none of this is anything like inflammatory as the original allegation that the americans have been involved in the blanket surveillance of ivilian conversations. there is a window, albeit a misty one, that shows smiling faces and collaboration on the outside but behind the scenes, friendships come way behind in need. the diplomatic competitive advantage. lawrence lee, al jazeera, at the g-8 summit. >> in brazil, protests are growing in the country's largest cities. they s

now britain is trying to rally of the g. eight countries to share financial information to crack down on tax avoiders but it's thought some of these suggestions go a bit too far for some of the leaders to help because the list has been published naming and shaming some of those jumping through loopholes artie's sean thomas discussed this with our business present. well the international consortium of investigative journalists has come out with all these details and exposed people that are using tax havens from thirty countries literally hundreds of thousands of people have been exposed right now and this is all for a timely considering these are the people that exposed politicians rogue nations that religious leaders oligarchs and we know that david cameron is using the g eight to really put tax evasion at the forefront and get international support for his laws that he wants to enforce he needs everybody to jump on the same ship so that everybody else that wants to avoid tax can go to another country and get away with it so

tonight in our top stories in the g. eight summits just drawn to an end in northern ireland with syria as predicted one of the most pressing topics up for discussion despite major disagreements the leaders did manage to come up with a joint statement end of the day russia's president commented on what's been achieved and what differences still remain. following the news conference at locke and for us. from all the g eight leaders is being presented as somewhat of a triumph they managed to come together and issued a statement on syria from everybody one thing about amir putin said in a press conference is that everybody agrees that the only way forward is diplomatic and a diplomatic resolution to the crisis in syria they want to see all the sides around the negotiating table and they want to see the need for to. happen as soon as possible for it as i didn't see that yet and of course really development which is right about a number of giving the point remains. russia's a point of view on the syrian crisis and everybody el
