thousands of anti-military protesters take to the streets of egypt. >> hello there, we have all the news from europe. a dutch court finds liable for the deaths many. and we look at the future of cinema. >> failure to act against a syrian regime will promote a rogue nation. the russian vladimi president vr putin said if the u.s. attacked syria without u.n. support that would put itself outside of the law, leaving the international community as divided as ever.

first though, peter sharp has our report from the summit. >> this photo a tradition at the g20 but the smiles were a little strained on friday. this was supposed to have have been a summit of the leaders richest nations focused on the world's economy. instead it has been eclipsed by the war clouds of syria. the leaders of the two superpowers, vladimir putin and barack obama, have never been at more odds against each other. >> obama: trying to impart urgency about this, why we can't have an environment in which over time people can get away with chemical weapons use. it's a hard sell, but it's something that i believe in. >> reaching a consensus over military action against syria was always going to be a hard sell for the u.s. president, and

if anything the g20 summit is only further revealed the deep divisions and reservations among world leaders against the strike on syria. with or without the approval of the u.s. security council. a dinner hosted by the russian president on thursday night allowed leaders to discuss syria at length, but they failed to reach their differences. with vladimir putin immovable to the u.s. military attack effectively killing any chance of a breakthrough. >> the use of chemical weapons in prove aggravation on part of the rebels who were hoping to get further assistance from countries who were supporting them in the beginning. i want to remind you that the use of force against a sovereign state is an illegal act. >> one who favors action against syria is british prime minister david cameron, but he's

powerless, he pledged $81 million in medical assistance to those targeted by chemical weapons. >> this is the humanitarian crisis in our world that this generation faces, and we need to deal with it. >> joining fleets off syria, the ministry of moscow said deplo deployment of missiles which include a amphibian vehicle sent into the water of the mediterranean. >> let's have a look at other developments. the u.s. is pulling out non-essential staff from its embassy in syria and turkey. close to the syrian border.

the u.n. arab league say no country is allowed to take the law into its own hands. they would needing to through the security council. france's president françois hollande said he would not wait to make a decision. here to give us a picture inside syria now. what are conditions like where you are? >> yes, two of them, they are killed in the city, and three of them, they were killed through

landmines in the city. two person killed, the army trying to capture and control the place o, because the milit militants, there are airplane attacks, but there is n no one s been killed today. especially after the airports attacked, what you call it, there is shelling in three places today in a small village

here, and there is demonstrati demonstration, they choose the name of not just chemical assad killed our children, and are actually killing and blaming the international community and the countries, especially u.s. britain and france, and all these countries, germany, because they just want to interfere and take action against the regime of assad. 1400 people killed in this chemical in damascus.

they said that more than 100,000 persons killed since two years and a half, and now just taking action. the western countries are supposed to interfere and take action. >> how worried are people about a possibility military strike? how bad are conditions there for people? >> you know, i think there is some--some of them, the majority of them, they want this action will start. they suffer a lot. they lose----they lose their soul, and we need to stop this

regime. since two years and a half they have been suffering. some of them hesitate, frankly, especially in front of others because they think it is their country, and we don't want international communities to interfere with their problem or their crisis. but others want this action against the assad regime. >> thank you very much, in southern syria.

we're joined by barnaby philli phillips, the tensions over syria overshadowing all else at the g20 summit. >> yes, on paper it's meant to concentrate on economic and financial issues, and did, in fact, achieve quite a bit in those spheres, du, but syria bubbling under all the issues. the real passion was on syria. the differences are stark. if anything the russians and americans are further apart now than they were at the beginning.

president vladimir putin said he was ready to be convinced about evidence. he was quite explicit in his press conference in the end as far as he was concerned he talked about the alleged use of chemical weapons being a prov a provocation staged by the rebels, so no meeting of minds here. >> now let's go to kinda. what happens now? it's set up for a debate. the debate is passionate and personal for so many in the u.s. senate who will be voting on this until the middle of next week. that's because there is a deep division between the democratic and republican party of how to

cast their vote. we heard president obama speaking at the g20 summit there and conceding he may not be able the american public for support for the authorization for the military strike against syria. ultimately we'll see the house of representatives voting in a couple of weeks. because this vote will be taking place here in the u.s. senate, the white house campaign to try to win over support for that measure is very intense, almost a week now of classified as well as open briefings here on capitol hill. vice president biden will be hosting a number of republicans at his home as they discuss this issue and he tries to win over their support. have there is no guarantee that the president will get the yes vote he's looking for.

elected institution. >> let's go to our correspondent in ka cairo, who we're not namig for security reasons. tell us about what is going on in the streets of egypt today. >> in terms of topography there were rallies and marchs in most of the population areas of egypt, which are under a curfew. 7:00 local time for 17 gmt is the time people are not allowed to be out and about in many parts of egypt. the protests.

>> they carried on well after the curfew. it's hard to say exactly what the situation now, they have been in the last half hour. they are well beyond the curfew. >> the courts have ruled that the netherlands are liable for three in 1995. let's get more from our london

who took shelter as bosnian serb forces over ran the area. they forced the muslims out. >> i think our friends, "our friends," the united states, great britain and france made it impossible for us to do what we had to do. the side of that, of course, we couldn't defend the enclave with 420 soldiers who were there with only 250 infantry soldiers. >> the horror that followed was the most brutal episode of bosnia's three-year civil war. they're currently facing charge of genocide before the war crimes in the hague. >> they take the tragedy, this

is a crisis and tragedy. >> some analysts say that states could be reluctant to take part in future u.n. peacekeeping, and could be held responsible for situations that get out of control. al jazeera. >> and on that same story both officials say that the serbs were in place.

at least 20 people have died in floods across niger. heavy rain has affected village as and farms and have been hit by an invasion of locusts because of the flood. there is growing anger following the death os of a coup there in bangiu. >> this is where two of his friends were killed last month. she shows me how armed men made them lie down on the ground. then shot them at close range. >> i came out of the house after i heard the shots. i approached the bodies. one of the young men held a young men to my head and asked what do you want? i said nothing. the other young man said, don't

do it, it's a woman. i went up to my child and called his name out. he responded twice, and then passed away. >> the people hearsay the men spoke arabic, and took power in a coup last month. she admit that they disarmed people in this part of bangui. this area used to be a stronghold of the previous president. the people hearsay they have no weapons, and pose no threat to the government. >> civil rights groups also accuse soldiers loyal to the former president of committing atrocities, but most people here blame the rebels for what is happening, and say the government is not doing enough to protect them. >> the government says its taking the response "law & order" and giving it back to the police. it insists the people committing these abuses are criminal

criminals{^l" ^}. >> selic waxer was a force of five thousand, now there were 20,000 men. they come out of prison, some of them are claiming to be seleks. >> many are documenting human rights violations, but louise said she has no hope of justice. >> even if we go to court, the people in power threaten the judges, and the verdict will go in their favor. >> since 1960 there has been reperebellion and crisis here. it has left the people no security, law or state to protect them. al jazeera, bangui. >> ma howie said that the said t

parties will be elected prime minister. he seems to have put his party in a competitive position. saying even genuine refugees who came by boat would not be settled in australia have dulled opposition claims that only they could stop the boat. the carbon tax on pollution under lining another attacks. he concentrated on defending existing members of parliament rather than winning seat for new once. >> three or four are on the edge of melbourne. some seats in brisbane and running up the greens land coast, these are the coalition and that would defeat the government. >> abbots' campaign has been a tour of small businesses and factories. he said he would cut spending,

but whoever wins is likely to face a tough ride as australia's boon ride comes to an end. >> the fact that we've got the biggest mining boon in two centuries now in the rear vision mirror. that means we have a whole bunch of new problems we've got to deal with. it has the potential to be a very important threshold election. >> as for confirmation of who has won, there won't be long to wait. >> those here count it as they cast. which means results are fast. it's likely australians will know if they have a change of government coming within two hours of the close of polls. andrew thomas, al jazeera, sydney. >> think of fine wine, and that's what south african growers are serving up.

>> barack obama and vladimir putin have opposing positions on chemical attacks in syria, in speaking at the g20 summit in st. petersburg. >> what i'm emphasizing and continue to impress that this is

not just a tragedy, it's a threat to global peace and security. >> i want to remind you that force against a sovereign state can only be done in defense, and as you know syria is not attacking the united states. doing so would put themselves outside the law with the united nations. >> in other news anti-coup protesters have defied the nighttime curfew, three people have reportedly been killed, and 7 arrested. and the dutch supreme court has ruled that the netherlands is liable for the death of three men during a massacre in bosnia. they were in charge of an area when bosnian forces over ran it in 1995. back to our top story. we spoke with mark, a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary

of defense. >> well, there seem to be reports today that he is broadened the target set, the emphasis in the past seem to be on the punishment and the deterrence aspect of the mission, but now there seems to be more emphasis on the debraid aspect of the mission to reduce the military strengths of the syrian military primarily to perhaps to rebalance the battlefield calculous on behalf of the rebels. >> now it doesn't seem clear that a lot of people have bee have--leaders have been won over for the military strikes. can the u.s. carry out this operation with perhaps only limited international backing? >> first i found it interesting to president putin, who invaded jordan, is now lecturing the

world on foreign military intervention. having said that i think there is significant capability of force being assembled right now to execute the mission as stated, a limited military operation to punish assad, deter future users of chemical weapons, and to degrade the military capabilities. >> what if congress doesn't say yes? what will be obama's options if congress does not approve such an intervention. >> the options are obvious. he can either do the military strike or not do the military strike. my view is he has the authority to use military force in this case, but it has preferred to seek the endorsement, not the approval, but the endorsement of the united states congress to carry out this mission. my view is he wants to get their endorsement but is prepared to conduct the mission without their endorsement. >> what will happen next?

that was also a question put to the u.s. president. what happens if syria continues to use chemical weapons? how broad of an operation can this develop into? >> that's where we've been concerned, sammy. we've heard the specific narrow case, a shot across the bow, so to speak, but it doesn't really solve anything in the long run. assad will still be in power. the syrian military will still be fighting the rebels. the syrian government will still be killing their own civilians. i do not see the connective issue that gets us to where the world watts us to be, a syria absent assad, and a country at peace with its neighbors.

>> does the u.s. want to see the defeat of assad or just see him weakened until a stalemate continues on both sides? >> no, there is this conspiracy theory that america does wants nothing more than to weaken them. if we were only that intelligent. it is clear that the united states policy wants to see the assad regime gone, and the people in its place. that's where the policy remains and that's what it is leading us toward. >> 15 people have been arrested after palestinian protesters in jerusalem's city. it happened in the oaxa compounds. one person was injured.

u.s. and british spy agency versus cracked online encryptions. they say they got the information in documents leaked by former national security agent edward snowden. >> reporter: the u.s. cyberspy agency has cracked many of the codes a that are meant to keep internet information private. since contractor edward snowden, the nsa has invested billions of dollars to break encrypted communications including banking transactions, consumer e-commerce, medical records and

other ostensibly confidential information. they forced technology companies to provide keys to their inscription programs to e-mails and chats in the u.s. and across the world. the government communications headquarters, the agency boasted of an aggressive multi-pronged effort to break widely used interrupt encryption technologies saying that fast amountvastamounts of online datw being exploited. the british agency reported they had developed access opportunities to google's encrypted traffic. there are over 400 us 400 millis of g mail, and include yahoo,

facebook and hot mail. the information from eric snowden has been shared with the guardian and others. the new poll released by the pew research systems say 7 out of 10 believe laws and government policies are inadequate to protect their private data. >> the snowden revelations about the nsa, i think he is, that has focused a lot of attention on this, and i think the pew poll shows that people are concerned. >> reporter: they say their code abilities are a touch card against russia, china and others countries. in the future, one document states, superpowers will be made or broken based on the strength of their krypto analytic

programs. >> the pakistani school girl who survived an assassination attempt by the taliban is a news winner. she was only is a years old when she was shot in the head on her way to school. she spoke out on about education for girls. >> in my home country of pakistan, the terrorists use terror to try and stop girls from going to school. i am just one target. there are many others. there are many others whose names are not known. it is for them that we must continue our campaign to ensure that all children all around the

world have a chance to excel and have the right to go to school. >> french and british investigators say industrial espionage or family disputes are possible motives for unsolved murders in the alps. a man and his wife and mormon were shot in their car. a french cyclist was also found dead nearby. a family feud over money is still the main focus of that investigation. >> he has been arrested, and we continue to make those inquiries as they have been outlined by my french colleagues. he is not in custody. he will return in october. >> we've been told that 3-d

movies are the future. but 3-d viewings are set to drop for the first time in 2009. at the venice film festival there are only two 3-d movies. >> if there is anyone who can tell you how amazing 3-d movies, it is this man. mario maziol, movie extraordinary. >> cinema viewings are up, but 3-it are down. is it reaching it's own unhappy ending. mario said no. he is a photographer with a keen eye for detail and a very keen eye on 3-did. >> to mario they don't make movies like they used to, and that's a good thing.

the studios claim 3--d is changing film for the better. but at the venice film festival there are only two 3-d films on show. >> after an explosion of 3-d movies, some of which were good, some of which were not so good, the public is becoming more discerning. >> aside from the big budget blockbusters, many of the 3-d movies are made in 2-d and then they go through a process to concerconvert them. when you consider the fact that 3-d movies cost more, to some it's not worth it. world box office sales hit

$34 billion last year. but this 3d ticket sales are set to drop for the first time in three years. but they still account for the majority of cinema visits in russia and china. the hope of the industry is though 3d is here to stay, that is if the audiences can be convinced. al jazeera at the venice film festival. >> i hate to think what we would look like in 3d. back to you in doha. >> investigators say a campfire is to blame for the massive blaze in yosemite national park. the u.s. economy is gaining steam released to new figures released on friday by the labor

department. more than 170,000 jobs were added, but some people are still feeling the effects of the recession. we have more from committee. >> the help wanted signs are back out, but not, it seems, for long-term unemployed. >> it's a struggle to be unemployed and want to find work and not have the opportunities available. >> short-term joblessness is back to pre-recession levels. but long term unemployment remains where it was. more than 3 million americans have been out of work for six months. economists make this economy renuke in recent history. >> what is interesting in this stagnation the share of the officially unemployed who are the long-term unemployed are far hire than previous.

>> american cities are bustling again, but not everyone is fielding it. older and minority americans are disproportionately unemployed. and the longer you're out of a job, the harder it almost to find a job. the longer you're out of work, the more companies worry your expertise is outdated glad i pick off where i left off and accepted out 50 resumé as day. i'll get a hit, i'll go on an interview and i just look forward to something turning up. >> a hope that is likely justified, but it might an long-term process. john henry, al jazeera, chicago. >> still to come we'll explain why japan's oscar winner master ever animation is calling it quits. and a familiar face ahead of the italian grand prix.

hosts moldova in a few moments time but the big game will be tuesday when they go to kiev. the england manager knows they can't afford any slipups on friday. >> i don't subscribe that this is an easy one and this is a difficult one, and then you have a fairly easy one and then a difficult one. i don't quantify or qualify games that way. i mean, in our first victory, whether we took them by surprise, we had a good win. but since that time they've proven very hard to beat. >> in arab, jordan and pakistan played a scrappy one-one draw in their playoff. the outside took the lead on the half our marhalf hour mark to m.
