. >> this is al jazeera. >> hello, and welcome to the news hour. coming up, u. n. inspectors looking into an alleged chemical weapons have left damascus. >> clears the way for possible military action, but president obama says any response will be limited and narrow. first verdict in the gang rape case in murder that cubbed outrage in india. a teenager is found guilty and given three years in detention. security forces move in to break

up protests in iraq over pay and benefits. and the new technology that copy art masterpieces but look and feel like the real thing. >> well, the last of the u.n. chemical weapons inspectors have now left syria, the 13 member team, drove across the border today. they have been gathering evidence at the sites of suspected chemical weapons attacks in the circa capitol. u.s. president has described those attacks as a challenge toe the world. he says he is considering a limited and narrow response. while in europe the german chancellor seen here with rush leader says russia and china's action over syria has weakened the united nations. in an interview with the german

newspaper it is very regrettable that russia and china have refused for some time to come to a common position on the syrian conflict. joining us live from the crossing on the lebanon syrian border, first of all, we understand there have been people crossing over that border, tell us about the situation there? >> yes, this is the main border crossing between lebanon and syria. damascus a mere 15 minute drive. you can see behind me, people fleeing syria, but a lot of those cars really have demas. discuss licensed plates. five lot of people we have been talking to believe that the possibility of western strikes is real, and they do belief that damascus strong hold will be targeted. ten people are scared. they are concerns about their children, and basically what they have been telling us is that the regime, the army has

been taking its own precaution. what they have been doing is repositioning their artillery to civilian populated areas. we understand that army soldiers as well as their families have been moved into schools can are previously used by the internally displaced people. they are also opposition activists have been telling us that the army is moving political detainees into military barracks. now it is hard for us to independently confirm. we are relying on the stories we are hearing from people here as well as activists inside damascus. people are scared. they are expecting this attack. most of the people that live here live in regime territory and are supporters of the regime, and most of them what they want is a political solution. they don't believe there's a military solution. >> u.n. inspectors also crossed that border and that's leaving many people to think that we could be just hours away from a u.s. strike. tell us, what exactly are the

concerns there about the regional fall out and implications of a u.s. strike on syria? >> well, we heard syrian firs say that they are ready to defend their country. defend "aggression." and but they really didn't explain how they intended to retaliate. they are not divulging any details. really the fear is that if this is a limited strike, if the west carries out just a few -- or targets a few, there won't be a reaction. but if this continues syria can rely on its allies. one of its allies the shiite group he is b he is bo la. but they haven't said what they would do. but iran has said it would retaliate against israel. if the regime survival is in

question, then you can see the possibility of all out confrontation, a regional war. because at the end of the day, syria's asaad syria, really, for his regional backers it is also a question of their unsurer vile. and maybe this is why the west is quite hesitant, pause this is really the unknown. what was the response be, will there be any form of retaliation, and will this conflict do beyond syria's borders. >> the border between libya and syria. those u. n. inspectors does clear a way for a likely u.s. military strike. washington has said the u.n. investigation will not affect its response, it could come at any time now, then. the president obama says any strike will be narrow, and limited. >> insisting he hasn't decided what to do, president obama made it pretty clear he will do

something. even if traditional allies don't go along. >> part of the challenge that we end up with here is that a lot of people think something should be done but nobody wants to do it. >> behind the scenes all indications is he will order a strike using cruise missles. >> where a thug and a murderer like bashar allah sad -- >> secretary john kerry described the evidence but didn't provide any. instead releasing a summary he says proved that he is behind this attack. much of the reason for their confidence of these special net videos. but the u.s. also says it has proof, the syrian unit responsible was in the area for three days before the attack. was told to use gas masks and that the rocketed were fires from government locations. detailed on this map, provided by the white house. >> we also know many disturbing

details about the after math. we know that a senior regime official who knew about the attack confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime. reviewed the impact. and actually was afraid that they would be discovered. we know this. >> what they admit they don't have, physical evidence from the scene. and they don't have hard evidence that asaad ordered this attack. all of the allegations are being called lies by the syrian government government. >> mr. kerry was dependent on all tails put forward by terrorisms more than a week ago, which contain fabrications, lies and false allegations. >> polls show administration has yet to show the majority of american it is necessary. almost 80% want congress approval first. that does not appear to be the plan, but as the military plans

are readies the targets need to be carefully selected. >> the united states and fran and others are going to be -- have to be careful not to strike the actual kem scal weapons depots because in doing so, one could make a bad problem much worse. it could spread these agents. it could career craze a localize environmental disaster. >> a senior official say they don't know where all the stock piles are, but the administration is very clearly trying to send a message this will be a quick strike. not a long involved conflict. the president is clearly talked about what his intentions are. he wants to send a message. they are not in washington talking about what the unintended consequences could be. al jazeera, washington. >> al jazeera kimberly explainss what the u.s. president is expectedded to do before any strike is launched. >> we do know that president obama has not yet made the

decision about military strikes. once that decision is made lit be ex-computed within hours. it will be sent to the chair of the join chiefs of staff who will then issue what is known as an excuse order. that will be sent to the destroyers currently posting in the east mediterranean. we know there are five warships there now, onboard those are tom hawk missles. now, the president has said repeatedly that this will be a very limited military operation, in both size and scale. these will be very precise targets that will be hit in a precise manner. he will be able to do this because these tomahawk missling carry gps cord nantz on them. they will be hitting what we believe will be the command and control as well as communications operations for the syrian regime, as well as any facilities that hold

chemical weapons. >> all right, let's bring you some lines that are coming in about the potential u.s. military action in syria. we've got reaction coming in russia's leader saying that the u.s. allegations that syria used chemical weapons was "utter nonsenses." he is also saying that the u.s. should present any evidence it has to the u.n. security council, and is describing any possibility of unilateral u.s. military action as being "extremely sad." so obviously not a lot of support coming in from the potential military action from russia. russia, of course, is one of the five permanent members of the united nations security council, and they have been updating on the progress of the inspectors were making look back. james base has more from the u.n. in new york. >> can hear from the sen take general today. >> the ambassadors of the security council on their way to a meeting. be this wasn't a formal session around the table of their

chamber, the final quarter of international security, the place where historically so many decisions about global war and peace have been taken. instead, the last to arrive at a meeting at the office of the u.n. secretary general, was the ambassador of the country, that now looks close to action bypassing the security council. they told the five ambassadors the weapons inspectors have made good problem taking statutes, and witness samples at the sometime of the chemical attacks. they will now take their scientific evidence to europe for laboratory testing. >> the team is doing its up most to expedite the process of analysis. but while keeping this in mind, they also have to keep in mind something else which is the need for rigorous attention to maintaining the integrity of the process. >> that laboratory work could

take days make weeks as the u.s. prepared to wait, right now the corridors beside the security council are empty. this is supposed to be a three day holiday weekend for the united nations. but many security council diplomates will tell you they expect their break to be interrupted by military action. al jazeera, at the united nations. >> justin crump is a security and intelligence expert. good to have you with us. what sort of strikes are likely to be on the pent gone's list now? >> as you have heard, they have offered a limited deployment the moment of these things. and i think what you are looking at is headquarters the syrian army, there are three main headquarters there. you are looking at some air defense, that i think will be struck. that's preparing something in the future, and of course there are assets in place that could help against these strikes. i think that will be part of any targets.

the biggest problem is how you send a message to the regime. and that's not really a military term, or a military objection. the military is driven by what we call effects based outcomes. there's an effect they are seeking to achieve, and it can be punished those considered to be used chemical weapons. actually striking chemical weapons stock piles is very very dangerous. ten what you are looking at is whether they target the people they consider responsible on an operational basis this does seem from the evidence the u.s. is presented that's what they believe. that that was an operational level, taken to achieve a military effect. and so therefore, attacking the actual unit that launched the attack, and any other known units is probably quite likely as well. >> syrian forces have obviously had a bit of a warning, they have had time to prepare for

these attacks. >> that's the thing. you have seen the dispersal of things already. one of the biggest problems if you want to remove a chemical weapons capability, you can't strike the stock piles. the next option is the delivery. they are artillery shells, so the amount of weapons that can be used to fire chemical weapons very very very great number. and these things are also things that the weapons system also thing the regime is using at the moment having a military advantage. so if you remove that. so again, when president obama says limited his options are very limited in terms of what we can do. >> judging by the statements from the u.s. president, it doesn't seem like we are looking at a very heavy campaign, something similar to cost slow, what effect then would this have on the military balance of power?

would it open unany opportunities for the opposition, for example. >> i honestly believe given the current situation, that's something the u.s. will probably on many levels with seeking to avoided operation nally. again, they want to mark the fact that chemical weapons use is not acceptable. they want to bolster up president obama position that this is a red line. and there was something that needs to be done about this, and that's what they want to achieve. but they don't want to alter the conflict. and i think on a practical level, so that does leave to a very small set of things. and again, what they can achieve is very very limited. i think the world is well aware of that. so it degrayeds the effectiveness sending the message, when everybody knows the message can't be effective. and of course, if you want to get more on the situation in syria, as well as other stories we are following find it at al jazeera.com. there's a special page there with indepth features and

analysis. as well as a life progress with all the updates. that's at al jazeera.com. >> coming up in the news hour, troops are on the street of columba's capitol after violent protests and support of striking farmers. plus, how a band organize is willing the hearts and minds of people devastated by floods. and a five step battle between two former champions. find the winner later in sports. an indian juvenile court has found a man guilty. he was the most brutal accused. she was attacked when a bus in new delhi last desks and died later in hospital. the incident led to massive protests across the country.

joining us now live from new delhi, what was decided in court. >> that's right. well the suspects was a minor at the time of the attack, in december last year has been found guilty, of rape, murder, kidnapping, and destruction of evidence. we have yet to hear more details as to how the proceedings went in court, but so far serious reaction from across the border in india, what we can see this is an interesting point in case, given that the suspect was a minor at the time of the attack, he has been tried by a juvenile, special juvenile court, and as a result the punishment is certainly not at the scale that the others the four other whose have been accused will perhaps face in the future. >> are we likely to see a pick up in street action over the sentence? it was controversial even before it was issued? >> absolutely. this has been a case that has captured the attention of the

nation and the world. we are not anticipating any street action as we have mentioned at the moment, following this conviction but we will see much reaction, a lot of debate, as has been the case. keeping in mind that this case has put the spotlight on the treatment of women in india, and that it has become an exceptionally big national issue. so it won't stop here, and crow can expect there will be quite a lot of reaction and talk to come. >> all right, thank you so much. five people have been killed in a suicide cabo attack at a police check point. it happened after police stopped the attacker. the bomber then detonated explosives no one has claimed responsibility. at least four people have been killed in a u.s. drone strike in northwestern pakistan. the attack took place in the the alley district of the north tribal area. now iraqi security forces have

in cities across the country. activists have formed some mass protests against pensions the fallen security, and lack of basic services. security forces are reportedly arrested a number of journalists and closed several roads leading to the capitol. >> rebels in the east of the democratic republic of congo have withdrawn from their positions outside the city of goma. the group has. fighting government forces in the u.n. troops were there. these soldiers are having a good day. their enemy has withdrawn from their positions. this man says congo belongs to us. who killed their defeated. and these men say, they will send the rebels to neighboring

rwanda. they believe the rebels are backed by rwanda, although rwanda denies it. the advance following heavy fighting. the u. n. has been fighting alongside the government. >> these troops are moving forward. north of the city of goma. with u.n. support, they said the rebels suffers heavy losses. >> there's no rebels here fires as a show of might. >> the u.n. says it has consistent and credible evidence that rwanda troops have enters congo and fought alongside the reasonables. den, rwanda denies it.

nearby this hill top is a rebel strong hold. this telecom was destroyed in the shelling. at the pot tom of the hill is the body of a man shot dead. his arms are tied. he looked like a prisoner that was executed. both sides say the other is responsible. m 23 claim it fought back to make way for independent on servers but everything here suggests there was a lot of heavy fighting. we cannot stop fighting because they are fighting us too. we also have to retaliate, they need to lay down their weapons and surrender, only then will we stop fighting. >> scone go sols continue their advance. the rebels are somewhere ahead. these men are some gains but their fight may not be over yet. >> joining us from goma, first of all, you have been to the front lines what sort of

military is prevailing now. >> it seems they actually have pulled back. quite a substantial distance, and when we were up there, then it seems that it had been to some extent the tactical withdrawal. they didn't have a lot of military hardware, and so on, they have managed to pull all of that out. so it seems they may have kept fighting with a small number of men that were shooting up the government positions while pulling back a lot of their hardware and taking it to a safe place before taking out the last men. >> now, malcolm, we have new allegations again that rwanda fors are involved, we have counter allegations that they are dealing with shells falling on their territories. they are able to discern any of this? >> and those rockets landed in

rwanda. rwanda says it is the condoles government that is doing it. it is possible to find out where they came from, because ballistic teams can analyze them. the rwandas say it's the condoles. either way, tensions are rising. and rwanda says it has reached its limit, and says it has to defend its people. we have heard from several eyewitnesses they moved a large amount of military hardware towards the border. they say they have to defend they wants, they have to defend their territory, and that's presumably the reason why they have been this build up of military hardware and soldiers in the border area. >> that is the latest from malcolm web, thank you. >> gold miners in south africa are threatening to go on strike on tuesday after talks over pay.

the main union miners want a 60 pest increase. they have given notice of the stoppage. >> columbian soldiers are patrolling the streets of the capitol to riots there killed two people. the violence began on thursday at a march in support of striking farmers. >> a step forward, at last, after 12 days of disruptions the spread from the country to the cities the leaders of the farmers said the while the strike continues they were ready to lift the roadblock that cut off entire regions of columbia. >> after exhausting days of talks with the national government delegation, partial agreements have been reached that give us the power to invite protestors to allow the transfer of vehicles. >> earlier in the day, the president sent troops to patrol the streets.

in response to thursday ease violence, that left two people dead. >> last night, i ordered the military into boga that, andly do so from now on any municipality, or any area where the presence of our soldiers becomes necessary. >> the government offered the farmers concessions, better prices for their products, access to cheaper fertilizers. but also accused them of being infiltrated. and of being directed by political movement, the government considers close to the rebels. >> rural development was the 1stpoint of agreement between the government and the rebel in the peace process. but if there's one thing that this strike shows is that social conflicts in columbia go way beyond the war with the rebels and will not be solved exclusively as a negotiating table. >> this process is just the tip of the ice burg.

the peace negotiations are transforming armed conflict into a social conflict. in coming years we will see more and more rural demonstrations because the people are so behind in reaching equal rights they will take action. >> a possible deal in rural development, promise to bring change in time. but strike demonstrates that farmers across columbia have ran out of patience. >> all right, storms are brewing let's get more on that now with the weather. >> thank you. well, we have been watching our tropical depression as it has been working its way through the north. so within this system, there is a tropical depression, and it is certainly capable of giving us some very very heavy downpours. now, the storm didn't make land fall in china, but you can see the clouds it has generated and that intense fied the rains.

♪ welcome back.

let's recap our headlines now. the last of u. n. chemical inspectors have left syria. russia's president says the threat of u.s. force is unacceptable. accusing the syrian government of using chemical weapon weapons utter nonsenses. and indian juvenile court has found the teenager guilty in the gang rape of a woman last december that shocked the nation. he has been sentenced to three years in the reformry on charging of rape, murder, and abduction. iraqi security forces have disbursed protestors using water cannon. hundreds of people rallies in several cities calling for mass protests. the fallen security and the lack of basic services. returning to our top story. let's get some reaction from turkey, which has been an important regional player.

first of all, strong words from the turkish prime minister, haven't we. >> yes. he was against the idea of launching a day or two against the regime. they want a wider military intervention. basically they want the prime minister and the government wants. is for that action to be -- that forces the president to accept a political solution that sees him upon. so in other words they want to enforce the military action to enforce the president of syria, to accept political dialog to negotiate his departure, and have a new temporary, perhaps transitional government. they are against one or two day type hits and run type of thing. they are more calling --

>> to what ebb tent will turkey participate in any military strike or action again syria in is that clear? >> no, it's not. and that's why the remarks made by the prime minister, and some spokes people for the foreign ministry is basically vague to turkey's position in all of this, or it's indeed willingness to be part of that military action. one spokesperson for the ministry did tell al jazeera that they may or may not be part of any military action, however, he kept the door open for speculation that if the government of this country deems it necessary, then turkey is ready to be part of take whatever necessary to protect its country, it's border as well. but we need to understand, when this comes to saying if turkey's military is capable of doing any

military attacks or military intervention, yes, it can. it has a powerful military one of the powerful militaries in the areas. it has a food air force and navy power, so when it compares to other people in the country, turkey has what it needs to carry out such intervention. >> all right, thank you so much. >> the turmoil in the middle east has worries of ill price increases. tom reports from san antonio in texas. >> the oil producing countries of the arab world decided to use their oil as a political weapon. >> in the heat of the 1973 arab israeli war, the countries that dominated opec clamped an oil empargo on the west that's when

americans first learned what it is like to cope with long cues at filling stations. and the u.s. president first set the goal of making america energy self-sufficient. >> by the end of this decade, americans will not have to rely on any source of energy beyond our own. >> four decades later the u.s. still depends on imports. but president obama says the surge of domestic crude protection together with more fuel efficient vehicles is putting energy independence within site. >> we are finally poised to control our own energy future. we produce more oil at home than we have in 15 years. >> despite stricter sanctions against crude and recent supplied disruptions in libya, iraq, and nigeria, american consumers are hardly feeling them reflected in what they pay to fill their tanks. >> gasoline prices at the pump in the u.s. this summer are virtually at the same level they were one year ago that largely

reflected the studiness in crude oil globally. >> thanks to the dramatic rise in u.s. oil output, the international energy agency forecasts that 2014 will see the biggest worldwide supply increase in 20 years. that will mean cheaper average crude prices on the world market, and weaken the power to influence prices. >> so already the demand on oil is less by 2 million per day, less than what it would have been had there not been this reversal of the u.s. oil production. >> that extra accusation has made it easier to tighten the boycott screws on iran. but some experts warn against being complacent, they note that oil still takes up nearly the same share of the u.s. economy today as it did 30 years ago. >> the market is still as vulnerable to supply disruptions today. and i think that's important for policy makers to understand. that we -- we are still one event on the other side of the

world from throwing the entire u.s. economy off the tracks. >> the potential for another oil shock gives advocates of renewable energy, one more argument for other alternatives. al jazeera, san antonio, texas. >> well the u.n. top human rights official says sri lanka is showing signs of heading in an all situation. she says she is concerned about increasing military involvement, and the camel dominated north. >> i have received access to documentation from the government, on how they are investigating matters. but i do see that they have to do far more to investigate past and current conflicts, disappearances, killings. it has to be comprehensive. >> one sudan and south sudan

separated millions of people found they wants on the wrong side of the new border. many were allowed to return to their respective countries, but as anna reports thousands of people living along the disputed border have no official status. >> in this south sudanese village, people are dancing to celebrate the success of their farms. >> was they are sharing their land now with people that had to flee their homes. mile 14 is one of them. in april around 10,000 people living there left when sudan's arm forced bombs them. adelle is one of them. >> they claim our area to be their place. we as civilians ran, and we brought our children to where it is safe.

>> since then adelle hasn't had much assistance, because she isn't officially classified as a refugee, because south sudan claims the land she came from, the government says she is technically remains in the same country. but because the state of mile 14 isn't claimed, international can't classify her as a displaced person either. there are hundreds of thousands of refugees getting assistance from aid organizations. but because this population doesn't have an official status, they are not getting the same services. many of the people though came with absolutely nothing, and they simply don't have the means to sustain themselves, and at the moment, there isn't a safety net for them either. >> according to aid agencies it isn't possible to offer this community the same assistance as a conventional refugee population. >> we cannot put them into a camp, because it would mean that they are legal status is a priority to us. we do not wish to discuss the

determination of their legal status before providing them with assistance. we are providing them assistance as persons who need assistance, and not determining first their legal status. >> food is already scarce in this community, and health problems are expected. but as things stand, this displaced population won't be entitled to sole humanitarian support. al jazeera. >> in the u.s. emergency crews are continuing their battle with a massive wild fire in yosemite national park in california. it's devastated more than 800 square kilometers in the past two weeks. the cooler temperatures this the last two nights helped firefighters bring part of the fire under control. most popular areas of the park are zillion open for public, but low numbers of tourists effected local businesses.
