it's four pm in moscow this is our coming to live with our top story and syria's state t.v. says a suicide bomber was responsible for an attack which killed at least four people in the country's hamam province the incident happened just as u.n. observer mission headed to the area to investigate reports of the latest massacre there washington and its allies were quick to blame the syrian government for the carnage but reports of over two hundred people killed in the village of tremseh the region regime i should say denies the accusations saying the army targeted only terrorist western states however are threatening damascus with consequences and a draft resolution in at the u.n. security council it's hard to force a third force against the assad regime the syrian army fails to help military actions within ten days russia and china say the approach is on balance mideast expert tariq ali believes it's no coincidence that the trumps of bloodshed just
8:02 am
like previous massacres came at a crucial point in foreign diplomacy over syria. i have seen evidence now from journalists in the field i cross the beanbag who insist there are crossing t's carried out by the syrian national council and they are when i say from supporters of creating mayhem in some areas and they are deliberately carrying out these are crossties so that they can be blamed on to. the regime the regime does its own pings we know that but these people are by no means on the side of the angels as the as they've protected if we're going to have sanctions why not impose sanctions on these armed groups that are creating mayhem in that country it is not only our survey that has become very clear over the last few weeks and one can't simply say that this is justified because of who they are fighting against you know
8:03 am
the syrian national council it is the favored group of the western countries the only way of forward is negotiation discussion constitution constituent assembly and that it is now obvious that the west is not going to lead because they are affectively backing the people who are opposed to any negotiate social. foreign refugees inside syria are also feeling the impact of war with some losing their lives as bitter fighting between rebels and the army spilled into their camps up to twenty palestinians have reportedly been killed in the latest incident increasing calls for an end to attacks on those who want to stay out of serious internal crisis we have a notion i has more on that you might find some of the images and her report to stir pain. while conflict in syria and its seventeenth month party find proof of cold blooded violence continues to emerge this photo has appeared on some middle
8:04 am
east web sites it's apparently shows the bodies of palestinian refugees who earlier disappeared in the troubled province of homs while only five corpses are seen in the picture health officials reported that there were fourteen of them all identified as members of the palestine liberation army in syria the p.l.o. later confirmed that the man we knew conscripts coming back from a training camp when they were kidnapped three more are still missing most palestinian factions in syria have blamed the armed opposition they wanted to both weaken the regime and spread this fear among palestinians in order to make them give up fighting for their right to get. back this recent incident has become yet another episode of serious sad reality with palestinians seemingly deliberately targeted raising concerns over the fate of a community of more than half a million this is an all syrian of we're focused on protecting our own camps but this opposition have wanted to drag us down since the beginning but now we can see
8:05 am
they used all possible tools. it's stupid to think this will succeed we're guests here and nothing can happen the law makers change your position following the nine hundred forty eight arab israeli war syria embraced thousands of refugees from palestine granting them a full package of civil rights placing them in a far better city. nation that's faced by palestinians elsewhere but for the new york we've come here at the time of our families we've gone through revolution court and who is at the helm our safety is going to by law it's the people here and the system that except us not just the leader or the regime. while the conflict escalates some people fear that stayed out of this could become just too difficult for the. syrian sense palestinians have always been fighting together you cannot separate the two of course if syria needs help who will help no one. war no one supported the fighting the army of course they'll also go fighting but not
8:06 am
because they like fighting but because syrians and palestinians are one. we are now in a war against terrorism not a sectarian or ethnic war and we support this war ready to fight against foreigners this is the only one of thirteen palestinian camps in syria the people living here some for more than sixty years already kill themselves yes they say just as a simple our guests impose the rules in someone else's house it's just unacceptable for them to get involved in what they say is serious own affair this policy of noninterference has kept the seven hundred thousand strong community out of the crisis for months now but with persistent attempts from both war in size to drive them in people here now fear getting caught in the crossfire. my if not. from damascus in syria. well maria is one of the few correspondents reporting from
8:07 am
the heart of syria's on grass to follow the latest developments from the conflict zone on her twitter feed there you can also find first hand comments and malice and images. well the world's top whistleblower julian a song choice for an asylum ruling at the ecuadorian embassy of london has cost drives across the atlantic at a conference in new york the hacker group that inspired the creation of wiki leaks has been gathering to protest against the u.s. government's big brother policies. is there before there was a week in the us there was hope that's an acronym that stands for hackers on planet earth and i am not their whole nine conference in new york city this is a by an annual event where hackers come together to discuss different topics such
8:08 am
as government surveillance freedom on the internet cases surrounding whistleblowers and of course that also discussions about how to not into the system two years ago julian assange founder of wiki leaks the supposed to be a keynote speaker at the last conference this year it was and i think whistleblower william binney he worked for the n.s.a. thirty seven years for stepping down he said that it was the u.s. government's encroaching surveillance of the citizens that caused him to finally leave his post and now he says he wants to make sure that all americans are aware of how their privacy is being violated the fundamental thing that's eating away at the at the real foundation of this country is the spying that's going on internally in the united states and it's so our own people you know when you had the freedom to do think you could try. i think you said you had but you felt that this country
8:09 am
would let you try things and now you're starting to sense the sense is that people are getting is that they're spying on us trying to control us when he has to do certain things and not other things do you think julian assange in some way provided a good service to americans yeah absolutely because it's freedom of information it makes people in government accountable for their actions but the majority of people here are a few supporters of freedom of information that's essentially the same thing that you leave us on set for hell to him inspired him to read we can weeks and subsequently disclose classified information about governments around the world according to me or read up or not r.t. . adding to concerns about privacy are reports of a new generation of microscopic scanners to be deployed at u.s. airports and borders now and people don't know they're under examination the machines working at molecular levels can detect anything on or inside the body in an instant independent journalist charlie mcgrath says it's about money making not
8:10 am
security. look at the fact that we're now flying drones for timid domestic law enforcement around the country of course we're going to see this spread to the general public we will be under the eye of big brother we're going to hear that argument from the mainstream and from the businesses that stand to reap an amazing windfall from the sale of these kind of devices that you know it's better for the safety of the people of this country it's better for the safety people the world there is no threat of terror that's a canard so absolutely it's something we should be concerned about we've seen since nine eleven the introduction of the patriot act and every other piece of so-called legislation that's protecting the people is the enriching of the financial super elite in the security industrial complex we see a perpetuation of the fine ocracy where financial interests write legislation that govern this country and all this talk of fearing augmentin is shot out of every closet or coming up from underneath everybody's bed is nothing more than a fear tactic so we can enrich
8:11 am
a very few people on this planet. well more still lined up for you in the program including sprain where police are in no mood for protests are left bloodied and copped after clashes in madrid as right officers lash out at demonstrators furious over the latest austerity cop spots. then he would have never got to look. today with his lifestyle but womanizing enormous yes absolutely absolutely is that a good thing that politicians go there or is it better we just don't know you don't know political mudslinging the name of the game or a slimy strategy at election time the resident finds out. washington's of the n.t. in its standoff with iran declaring more sanctions against the islamic state over its just nuclear intentions these latest measures target companies and banks accused of helping tehran bypass the e.u. and us oil embargo now they come after washington announced more military
8:12 am
deployments to iran with a fourth aircraft carrier heading to the persian gulf such a move would mean half of america's active carriers would be stationed off the country's coast the navy is also bringing in underwater drones to help catch iran's fleet of mini submarines but politics professor patricio janiero from new york university says it's likely only to provoke conflict. what's happening here unfortunately is that they're playing a dangerous game almost like having a mouse who's going to be run for going to attack first and what concerns me here is that if we're moving more warships there that iran is going to feel more threatened and there's more chance of triggering some kind of mistake there and this band of going to see definitely a heightened escalation of violence and a tax this is absolutely dangerous we don't really understand what's happening there we made this mistake with the iraq war has said there were nuclear weapons in the war and now we're on our way from making this mistake in iraq these realities
8:13 am
have been saying that they're on their way to nuclear weapons thanks dear since one thousand nine hundred four so let's sit down and talk before we start pointing weapons that of south africa which could really facilitate a large scale in conflict in the region that is starting to pull so many players and. we have many other stories specially for you on our website r t v dot com it could soon be difficult to light up a cigarette in your own apartment in los angeles as city officials planned what could be a controversial step to improve public health. also extreme measures for the olympics in london as the royal air force is given permission to shoot down passenger jets the security crisis situation. a slew of new cuts have led to fresh eruption of public anger and protests in spain but rallies quickly turned violent when police charged and beat up demonstrators firing rubber bullets more than seventy people were injured in the clashes the austerity
8:14 am
cuts driving the trouble include tax hikes and the promise of painful pension ten changes but the protesters say they are being made to pay for the mistakes of politicians and bankers the measures were demanded by spain's creditors who promised madrid a much needed bank bailout and in greece longstanding public anger is now taking new forms of expression jacob greaves reports. greek streets of come to embody entier stare to rage in the eurozone huge crowds have marched to voice their anger. with discontent fooling on deaf ear is different tools have also been employed for me the graffiti strewn on the capitals is simply an eyesore but for others it's a chance to keep their message keep their demonstration. with nobody else on the streets protesting. with aerosols rather than amplifiers their outrage is left
8:15 am
a lasting impact around greece. going by the name of muppets he largely uses graffiti to combat the growth in far right racism is taking the country by storm but others target the government's relationship with major euro zone play is an impact it's had on a desperate population we can see here. and the money that the politicians spend about buying things we don't really want that military hardware was acquired from germany the official who bought it now resides in prison on charges of corruption some works appear to be more angry schools than art an outlet for a generation that feels forgotten others a more direct attempt to sway the opinion of a nation but a relatively new forms of activism and we don't have an experience of this kind in
8:16 am
the past mainly because since i was born in cleese or a couple of years later after the germans left greece as an occupying force it's been it's been an upward ruled all the way he's last two or three years have been greece's first experience of going down rather than upward a strong economy a soaring jobless rate a feud much of the anger from the podium to the problem not in. recently the e.u. eurozone and i.m.f. troika are being depicted as the rivers of greece the domestic politicians the subjects. you know. in two thousand well it means you must mean. you need to work out a sentiment that's growing and what's the government continues to do with the euro zone imposed austerity the right thing for greece could be ready on the wall to greece party. later today max and stacey are back to bring up pressure on the
8:17 am
bankers who are keeping the rest of us down. on wall street they know that if they get caught that of course we're going to get away with it because regulators change the laws to accommodate the crimes this is over and over and over again there's no barrier anymore for committing crimes there's no punitive damages there's there's no there's no you know i don't understand why most people don't get their brokers license and their banking license is not that hard to do you can get a serious seven broker license and three or four months you take the series of an exam and you can make a millions of dollars stealing money out and it's foolish not to think that you know why not why don't more people do it i was a broker i stole millions but it got boring after a while i left a business it just got so boring stealing money there's no challenge to it and i'm thinking you know it's got to be something to do that's more interesting than just calling people up all day and stealing very money.

us a budget with a deficit of eight hundred billion dollars so firms were in short supply for everything and when the chaco flood propelled a deep crisis they asked us for fifty billion dollars for their politicians mind you these politicians are members of political parties who get paid for nothing so we said no that was the straw that broke the camel's back it was a politically charged trial disguised as a constitutional process as one m.p. said it all looked like a circus designed to depose a democratically elected president. but he wants a full interview with fernando go later this hour i'm also bring you the words of power wise new president frederico franco who gives his reaction to the coakley. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the globe this saturday over twenty five have been killed after a suicide bomber attacked a wedding in northern afghanistan the dead include a prominent afghan m.p.

8:21 am
this is the year of important elections the world around and many of them involve dirty negative campaigning are you ok with that this week let's talk about that john f. kennedy would have never got elected. today would his lifestyle a womanising enormous yes absolutely i'm still is that a good thing that politicians go there or is it better we just don't know it's very don't know because it's going to do a beautiful get i don't thing we have to mix politics with personal life yet but if it helps someone get elected is that ok. i don't think so if one candidate is doing towards another i think that's a little unfair but if both are going back and forth which they normally are i think it's completely fair it's all part of the game in politics and i think that it's a fair point is that like that and now when all you know you this is crazy about that they are laura's just more calm or do they stick to the
8:22 am
issues yes so do you feel like more gets done that way yeah i think so it's not all about the personal lives or who's left who is the public so dumb that we don't recognize it's all spin and flops why aren't we demanding more i don't think we're dumb we're just complacent we want to be taken care of we don't really care we think it's going to be ok and we really don't feel like we have a. voice how is it in denmark well not as bad and. well yes the same tendency. they lost ideas and. tried to get power as many of the political parties i think yeah when power is on the table anything goes right how does it change. take our money take out power but i mean it's it's it's something that's just kind of just pop. how it works unfortunately so i don't think there's
8:23 am
a fairy tale way that it will stop and i would rather hear about their policies and their records as politicians and public servants if one politician stuck to that while the other one was throwing mud what do you think what would. i like to think that the guy that stuck to his record of the woman who stuck to her record when i'm voting for her yeah me too but whether or not you think it's ok for politicians to smear their opponents the bottom line is it's up to each of us to sort through the noise to find the truth for us that. was us on a day now to go before the new international space station crew of three blast off to the final frontier or just having more to say has been to the launch site speaking to those who'll soar to the stars. in the scorching heat of kazakstan right there in the distance lies the rocket launcher that will be propelling at the
8:24 am
thought used here may outdo the eye it says from by cannot cause but during september now the team have had a very very busy weekend they've had press conferences with cameras and photographers almost a celebrity like lifestyle for them just before their big day friends and family have been gathered here at baikonur cosmodrome just giving them support and saying that we're all behind you on your important mission what will they be doing up there well as always a research and scientific research is on the agenda they'll be looking at looking at how humans can live in orbit with the world's media watching and photographers clicking this shot as a way to get the perfect shot one wonders how the three people on the spot like today feel about their next mission to the international space station expedition thirty two thirty three is underway because they sort of started thinking about this a little bit and the black eyed peas come to mind and if you know the song tonight's going to be
8:25 am
a good time and the second one of course is let's get this party started after two weeks in but we're all very relaxed including the backup crews. were ready for launch. and just the vehicle itself is ready. i took one of my daughter's small plastic toys i took it by accident so i must bring it back of course was the first person to get married in space and his spirit of strength has always been his wife when i was how she felt she said oh lots of emotion but i'm happy that he's doing what he loves to do so but that i'll be without him for four months the space shuttle missions rely on many resources to make them possible but the rocket pad and space craft remains one of the most important aspects of getting the astronauts to orbit tons of steel and engineering put together so signs and astronauts can continue their research so what will this mission be looking out at. at the i assess i think the crew's going to have
8:26 am

8:27 am
seen it i'm also very proud of the international space station is the largest and most complex scientific project in history as the station's potential continues to grow most sophisticated research is in demand it's a shared vision of these asteroids and their community we're always looking to get the party started from earth to the milky way. and. the bomb was day. by candle as the sun. that wraps up our main news block i'll be back with a recap of the headlines in just a mum. resistance
