>> the latest diplomatic marathon over syria, the security council. outlining the country's next moves for chemical disarmament. also, claims of state slavery as the football community teams up over building its world cup dream at a lethal cost to immigrant workers. greece's extreme right party, as the police arrest supporters, the first crackdown of its kind since the 1970s.

and the united kingdom looks at unmanned drones, expendable mercenaries, and propaganda to fire up the nationals. >> good morning. this is rt. the top story, the hague says the syrian government should destroy all chemical facilities by december and they have given them until the middle of next year to get rid of the poisonous substances they have arty developed after the you in back to resolution requiring syria to eliminate its arsenal. as moscow insisted, it does not mean there will be immediate use of force if they do not comply. >> this marks the first time the

united nations security council has agreed on a binding document concerning syria. the resolution requires the verification and destruction of syria's chemical weapons stockpile. however, while it mentions chapter seven towards the end of the document, it does not indicate the immediate use of force would be allowed. this is something russia's foreign minister explained in detail while addressing the security council. >> the resolution does not fall into chapter seven of the u n charter and is not allow for the automatic use of force. it reaffirms theamerican agreemt in geneva. the use of chemical weapons will have to be carefully investigated by the united nations security council. the council will stand ready to take action under chapter seven of the u n charter. any incident which is considered

a violation of the resolution would have to be proved 100% before any action is taken. >> the resolution also calls for the convening of the geneva peace talks, which the u.s. secretary general moon says could happen as soon and november. this is where the syrian government and opposition are supposed to negotiate a peaceful path towards their future and in ultimate and to the 2-wood half year civil war taking place in that country. russia's foreign minister says the syrian opposition as well as the government is obliged to comply with all measures in the security council resolution. >> the responsibility for implementing this resolution lies not only with the government of syria, according to the demands of the united nations security council, it will also have to cooperate with you and experts. >> u.s. secretary of state john

kerry said the president-setting resolution shows that powerful diplomacy can peacefully disarm the worst weapons. however, during his address to the security council, secretary kerry reminded members the use of force against syria is an option that u.s. president barack obama continues to keep on the table. >> speaking at the united nations general assembly before the vote, the prime minister said the world is no place for unilateral action against other states and collective approval, in contrast to president obama's theory of u.s. exceptionalism she defended a few days before. they said it is a mantra resulting from america's declining image. >> essentially what we should understand is the language obama is using is not only just to make the case that somehow the united states is above other countries, that the united states is above international law, the united states is above the very institutions the united nations represents.

you don't want to reduce it down to such a simplistic concept, but that is the reality of international relations when it comes to the united states. of course, their anger with the russians, their anger with vladimir putin is his and russia's inability to accept this principle, and we are seeing a tectonic shift i think in global geopolitics as countries who even 10 years ago would never even dare question the notion of american exceptionalism and america's ability, albieit right to assert its military authority, now it is being questioned and this is a combination of different factors, not the least of which is america's global prestige in decline. >> syria's foreign minister said

damascus is ready to comply with the roadmap, but is worried about provocation from rebel forces. >> we control our chemical arsenal, but we are worried that the terrorists who also have chemical weapons, they want to use it to show the west that syria is not committed to its commitments. >> see the entire interview with him on our website, rt.com. the capital of qatar is growing at leaps and bounds going up to the 2022 world cup, but it is coming at the tragic cost of dozens of lives. rights groups accuse the government of treating migrant construction workers like saves -- like slaves, forcing them to work in inhumane conditions. we interviewed some british fans for their thoughts. >> the choice of qatar for the

2022 world cup has raised more than just a few eyebrows. all football fans wonder how they will avoid alcohol restrictions and concerns over the desert heat, an investigation by britain's guardian newspaper has uncovered an all more serious controversy. according to the publication, nepalese migrants working on major infrastructure projects for the world cup have been subjected to forced labor, even denied water and extreme heat, and they were dying at the rate of almost one per day during the summer. for football fans in london, the news adds insult to injury after britain's bid to host the world cup was rejected. i have come to london, where football fans go to the pubs to find out what they think. >> 44 people died in two months. that is a higher rate in building the hoover dam back in the 19 20s and 1930s. that is almost first world war

standard. that is a lot of people dying and there's not a great deal of government going on if that is what is happening. >> that was one of the great gambles with china having the olympics is they could be encouraged to reform, and the same goes for this. >> the only way to make it global is to bring questionable countries into that folder. >> the atrocities are going on, trying to turn those around, i think it will highlight that. >> the 2020 two supreme committee, responsible for the organization of the tournament in qatar, says it is deeply concerned by the allegations and has vowed to investigate them. but the nepalese ambassador to qatar is ardea said abuse of mike nash has already said abuse of migrant workers is so entrenched it might as well be called an open jail.

for those watching from the sidelines in london were pubs like these, it raises questions over whether qatar should be afforded the privilege of hosting the international tournament. >> we have comment from the human rights organizations, which says that the car has a long history of abusing human rights. >> these allegations are very credible. this is not rocket science. his is not a question of money. it is a question of enforcing the good loss, getting rid of the bylaws, and prosecuting offenders. to become a leader in the region where the migrant workers rights is a serious issue and has been for a long time. it is an opportunity for employers, most of them from qatar, and it is said to be horrific abuses which have been

reviewed. >> very soon on the channels tonight, and historic phone call, but no guarantees. the presidents of the u.s. and iran speak directly for the first time, but it could be drowned out by the loud voices of america's anti-iran allies. rick authorities are conducting a sweeping crackdown on the extreme right golden dorm party, arresting leaders and senior officials stemming from the murder of a prominent antifascist two weeks ago allegedly by golden dome. the party has become greece's third-largest and is most known for attacking political rivals and attacking migrants. they said bring it down will not be easy. >> it's clear there are ties between the party and certain parts of the greek state apparatus. this has been going on for decades. he did not just take lace

recently. it is clear, for example, golden dome -- golden dawn has close ties to the greek police. there have been arrests of prominent policemen and mebers of golden dawn and the greek security services, security officials who are in charge of monitoring the movements of the party. turned out to be in fact a cousin of an mp of the party and was probably an informant for the party inside the greek intelligence. so far, they are not banning golden dawn because they want to avoid a situation whereby the movement, the organization goes underground and becomes a more threatening force in greek politics. at the same time, however, they are resting members and going through something like a de facto ban without a proper legal band. >> for the first time in over 30 years, the leaders of iran and

the united states have spoken to each other directly. barack obama said he hoped the stalemate over their nuclear ambitions could be resolved soon, but said there was no guarantee of success and are still serious obstacles to overcome. america's top ally israel remain skeptical over the softer approach voiced at the united nations general assembly. prime minister netanyahu said it was a smokescreen that could not be trusted. analysts believe the toughest hurdle to a solution is the strong anti-iran lobby within the u.s.. they said their influence on the president could prove decisive. >> the united states needs iran to help it pull out successfully from afghanistan in 2014. recall, in 2001, the iranians were very helpful to then u.s. president george w. bush in terms of helping dislodge the talibn from power. iran can also be helpful with regard to the crisis in iraq

with bombings at a level not seen since 2006-2007. the problem is the israeli lobby in the united states is very powerful, not least in mr. obama's own democratic arty coalition, and it is no secret that mr. netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, is itching to launch military strikes against iran's nuclear facilities. given such pressures, it is not clear how these diplomatic talks will turn out. >> the historic phone call had public support back home. he was greeted by hardline protesters, some throwing shoes at his car, angered at the apparent softening of the president's stance on washington. coming up, a man who has billions in the bank, hates the euro, but is a fan of the death penalty. he has made his way into austria's parliament on the back of a surge of skepticism. and, firing up the play of the

game, the rehearsal for the olympic torch lighting ceremony from the very birthplace of the legendary sporting event. >> hello again. it is 1:15 in moscow. mercenaries may be the only way for the united kingdom military, put together by study. turns out that army chiefs are worried the british public will not be sold on war anymore. they're looking at reinvigorating the warrior spirit. >> how to sell a war to a british public that is not buying. that is the topic of the latest study by the ministry of defense. the acting to what the paper calls a wrong assumption the british people have become risk- averse. in a nutshell, the paper says it is not that people don't want

war, it is that they don't understand how it will benefit them. in an effort to explain war better, the think tank made some recommendations. first, make a larger investment into drones. suggesting that if people in foreign countries are killed at arm's-length, it would be better. and small arms contractors, mercenaries, to lessen worries about casualties. third, use more special forces soldiers, because apparently the loss of elite soldiers does not have as much impact on the public because their role is perceived as inherently more risky. fourth, something military families already are calling disgraceful tom a reduce the profile of repatriation ceremonies, perceptions of hearses carrying coffins straight to the union jack when bodies are brought back from afghanistan. a war weary british public is not keen on having its opinion

swayed, and it is particularly adamant about keeping repatriation ceremonies in the public eye. >> they should be respected for what they have done and we should be aware of it. >> war is difficult. i don't think there is anything they can do or say will organize or publish to make war more palatable and should be avoided whenever possible. >> i think they should not be doing at all. >> trying to avoid war, but making it sound nicer. >> the paper appears prescient because it was written before the british parliament voted against getting involved in syria under the immense weight of public opinion. it seems unlikely the public will be manipulated into supporting conflict quite as easily as this. even the ministry of defense admits the current version to war is a result of a people better informed and an opposition that is more sophisticated. >> perhaps unpiloted drones

could be an idea, more than half of the united kingdom eyelets admitted dozing off at least more than once. and they said they have noticed colleagues doing it as well. also, a u.s. christian group wants a kansas education board in court for teaching children about evolution and global warming, saying that it violates religious freedom of genesis. that story is online. >> the dress rehearsal for the

lighting of the 2014 olympics torch is taking place in greece is ancient olympia, the final preparation before the ceremony on sunday. >> we are watching the rehearsal for sunday ceremony here at olympia, the birthplace of the olympics. this ancient site will actually hold the start of the next olympics, augusta a look the claim -- because the a look the claim will be lit here. they are practicing what they will do on sunday. at this moment, the first torch bearer, who by tradition is always a greek. he will hand that to the first russian torchbearer on this occasion, who incidentally has been released by the russian camp one weekend early to carry out the honor. that torch will then go on a seven-day tour of greece before ending up in athens next

weekend, then taken to moscow for the russian leg of the torch relay. >> they will then take the olympic torch to the highest peak of europe, then to outer space. the torch will fly to the iss next week, taken out and a spacewalk. we will be watching the ceremony and will bring it to you as it happens. when austrians vote sunday, it will be an unusual ballot in europe because they're doing it while enjoying a fairly robust economy. even so, the parties are polling strongly. peter caught up with one group. >> the latest information ahead of the election sunday suggest the country will see a return of the so-called grand coalition between the social democrats and

the conservative people's party. this election has seen a rise in the amount of people turning towards euro-skeptic parties. to talk more about that, i am joined by the founder of one of those parties, frank. why has skepticism caught the imagination in austria? >> we are not skeptics, really. we have just always thought that common courtesy -- the current currency does not make sense. it is not economically viable and the science does not work. >> do you think they have too much say over the sovereignty of nations like austria. >> again, it does not work for the simple reason because each country has a certain culture for hundreds and thousands of years and each country must over in their own destiny. on the other hand, the european unity is that people can move

freely around and products can be moved around freely, but again, the currency just does not work. >> how important the rest of the e.u. is this election taking place in austria? >> well, i don't think we will get a majority this time, but we have set it's a bulls -- we have set principles and those will be tax reforms and parliamentary reforms and parliamentary reforms that we hope to reduce the power of politicians and that citizens represent it will have more say in government. >> thank you very much for talking to me, the founder of the party running in this year's austrian elections. >> austria may be carving itself a safe passage through the financial turmoil, but in the kaiser report, we have the global world of business. >> ben marsh, the ceo of aig,

the insurance giant that took $85 billion of bailout money from the american taxpayers said congressional outrage at the ensuing bonuses paid to these executives in aig was "just as bad as deep south lynching." that sees a kinship with the ways that blacks were lynched. the us is what i think black americans should do in light of this revelation. they should demand reparations for having built the united states of america. they are owed by some calculations, and this was an issue five years ago, $5 trillion, $7 trillion in cash right now. this cracker thanks his

suffering is equivalent to you building the entire country he profits from! i'm a victim! they forced billions in bonuses from a! i'm a victim! i cannot stand it! i'm being lynched! >> world news in brief, angry crowds in by rain have clashed with security forces in the arrest of a prominent opposition figure taken into custody, charged with inciting terrorism. the police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters. the opposition is demanding human rights reforms and accuses the government of conducting a ferocious crackdown. security forces in sudan open fires on demonstrators, killing another four people in protest which have raised all week. the unrest is rooted in the cut of fuel subsidies last week approved by the president. rights groups say 54 people have been shot dead so far, driving anger over the police's

increasingly lethal crackdown. a boat carrying asylum seekers from indonesia to australia has capsized off the coast of java. at least 21 people have drowned. they say they radioed australia for help several times, but it seems the help came too late. it is thought more than 100 people were on board at the time. many are still missing. a mass of people trafficking network in china has been smashed in a major nationwide operation. the police rescued 92 about the children and made over 300 arrests. the group kidnapped many women and children and sold them to workers or wives across china or force them into prostitution. trafficking is a major issue for china, blamed on the strict one child policy. thank you for your company. up next after the break, breaking the set on whether the

undoing of america's vast surveillance empire lies in its very own senate. >> i bet anyone who lives in the united states knows a few people who are dismal with geography. a small percentage of the country cannot get it that canada is above us. it really does not matter that much. he was writing a response to the question, where is damascus, which challenges people to find syria's capital on a map. he said this does not affect the wisdom of an impunity strike against the use of chemical weapons. that draws our attention to places we have never heard of before. let's look at us this way, i don't know or a person's kidneys are or how they work, so by all

normal logic, that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove kidneys. my opinion does not down because i am ignorant about kidneys. if you know so much about syria you cannot find it on a map, then there must be an intervention to save the people there and you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them, but gosh darn it, intervention sounds nice. knowing where a country is on the map is the first step in building an informed opinion, but that is just my opinion. >> this is japan's largest produce market. handling fresh foodstuff from every part of the country. once nationwide distribution networks were established in the 17th century, it became possible

to bring all kinds of food to tokyo from the provinces. this led to the development of a very sophisticated food culture, with an extensive range of tastes they enjoy today. the japanese approach to food, with its subtlety and artistic expression of seasonal things, created one of the world's great cuisines. at this tokyo festival held each year, crowds gather to eat this delicious seasonal fish, brought here from the fishing ports to the charcoal grills on the streets. living in tokyo lets you enjoy culinary delights from every region of japan. and not only at outdoor events, tokyo is full of specialized regional restaurants.

this restaurant, for example, serves southern delicacies. from the other end of the country, here are unique northern dishes, like this vinegar-flavored water vegetable. it's hot simmered food is typical of the heartwarming fan from the colder regions. it brings back the tastes of my childhood up north. elevated railway lines are common in tokyo and you often find japanese-style bar/restaurants under the tracks. even among japanese restaurants, these have a unique style. perhaps they are best known dish -- perhaps the best known dish

is skewers are charcoal grilled chicken. people also try various kinds of often, seasoned with soy sauce, or miso flavored vegetable soup. this is perhaps the easiest way to sample japanese-style home cooking. i like to have a drink and just talk to people. also, the food is great. the specialty of tokyo is the restaurants offer a range of world cuisines on the same menu. asian, south american, even african cooking. great effort is made to make sure the taste is completely authentic. i love to come here because i can try food from all over the world. tokyo also hosts many international themed food events. whether you want to discover world cooking or japanese

cuisine, tokyo truly is a gourmet paradise.
