washington pledges more support for syrian rebels but the russian foreign minister says that justifying blast in damascus america is all but endorsing terrorism. guilty until proven innocent top u.s. officials of dog themselves for only killing terrorists in pakistan drone strikes this year but experts point out the dodgy definition that blurs insurgents and civilians. but disturbing discovery in russian with loads almost two hundred and fifty human embryos are found dumped in plastic barrels police say they may have been used for the research. and a heavyweight group for julian assange just legal team the man who indicted chilean dictator for no say for human rights abuses now joins the whistleblower in his fight.

oh it's five pm here in the russian capital this is our team nominee for now way with our top story moscow has hit out at washington over its comments on last week's blast in damascus which killed president also a key aides foreign minister sergei lavrov said the u.s. practically justified terrorism is this a calf enough has the details let's essential war of words but a sort of hypocritical stance to some degree when we saw many members of the u.s. administration speaking out almost immediately after various so-called massacres that had taken place on the ground in syria when this latest blast took place killing many high profile members of president bashar al assad's government as they attended a security meeting their reaction from the u.s. state department was quite different they have actively had said that these attacks were not surprising given the. the conduct of the present government one spokesman

even said those who died were key architects of the regime's assault on the syrian people it's a very different sort of response that we've seen two different kinds of explosions on the tops in syria these statements caught the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov here is how he responded to the ongoing battle of words. you can do with because we don't understand why our western partners refused to condemn the terrorist attack in damascus moreover susan royce used to this incident to prove that the u.n. security council could no longer hesitate over the resolution on chapter seven so basically she is saying we will support such terrorist attacks until the security council does what we want it's a horrible approach i can't even find words to express how we feel about this this is simply the justification of terrorism. now just remember the chapter seven resolution that he was referring to in the u.n. would have allowed the u.n.

security council to take a wide range of actions ranging from diplomatic and economic sanctions against syria to possible military action this was a resolution that was with the help of china and russia last week. and syria have seen scores of people displaced but for some refugees it's not the first time they've been forced to flee many rocky's who escaped the violence in their homeland took shelter in syria but now they're returning home saying the new war it left them little choice our correspondent in damascus. has met some of them. if we had their home countries in search of peace only to be ambushed by war in the place they thought was safe syria has long been counted among the most welcoming countries in the region for refugees with almost one hundred thousand of them registered here permanently given before their while and broke out in syria at the residence of fires in our neighborhood were all well familiar with the ugly realities of war or the past decade this area has become home now since of war

refugees from somalia afghanistan pakistan but the largest community here iraqis who sought to escape the us wage war in that country and now have to flee yet again at this bus station iraqi destinations have never been in such high demand as now after several dozen residents of this area were shot of the haddad in the past few weeks many are scrambling to leave the mohammed who arrived here with his family in two thousand and three is also packing i've never come across such securities in syria and such a government is in syria it's a good state a good nation but the rebels come here with weapons to destroy our homes and we have no idea why the residents accuse the rebels of terrorizing their community extorting money or kidnapping for ransom while their regions of the gangs are on known many here believe it's fighting alongside the free syrian army.

the usa is not an independent nation because its government does not hear what its people are saying because whichever country it invades it destroys america invaded iraq libya egypt and yemen and has not brought peace to any of them now after nine years iraq still can't produce enough electricity for a whole day only for an hour or two. they say it is enough is one of the most important share shrines as it is believed to hold the relics of prophet muhammad's granddaughter. just a year ago it was inundated with bill grams but after several worshipers lost their lives in a suicide bombing it is now closed some believe the attacks against iraqis in syria may also be driven by sick terror and division most iraqis a shia most troubles a sunni a year's base shia group has just published a statement calling on the united nations to intervene according to our sources and

see. thousands of shia muslims are in danger of massacred by the free syrian army and groups affiliated with them she rights watch has learned from many shia muslims living in the area that the free syrian army has threatened to massacre all the shia in the area unless they flee yet not everybody is scary the way. a sunni syrian and an m a share iraqi have been neighbors and friends for seven years ever since the killing of animals has been forced here to leave iraq they say we want freedom what freedom do you want in syria mosques we have girls with their heads covered and girls with their heads uncovered we have christians sunni's in shiites they say they want freedom but is this the way to treat your country when you want freedom but iraqis know better than anyone else how relentless and how damaging the foreign quest for freedom would be on the boycott r t reporting from damascus in syria. now syria's opposition says thousands of government troops are being moved

to the country's commercial hub aleppo the city has reportedly seen fierce street battles for almost a week since the rebels moved in from the outskirts the focus of the conflict shifted after the army flushed out what it described as militants from key districts in the capital but those defeats were ignored by the u.s. which held the rebels are actually pledged more support baker from the investigative website who what why dot com says the mainstream media is singing in tune with the empty stats. a decision had been taken and that it was necessary to. intervene or invade or whatever you want to call it and then all the news is fit to match and so what we see is a whole series of documented unsupported allegations and in the case of syria as in the case of libya these are allegations of mass rape. and of massacres without

carefully trying to establish who exactly did wired who saw what and so forth what we do is we start finding that it goes it's trance traceable back to several individuals who seem to be a syrian emigres living a very interestingly in saudi arabia on others in the united states appear to be connected to exactly the people who want to displace saudi. well who is instigating the syrian war and has it now reached a tipping point that's the focus of today's cross talk at fifteen thirty g.m.t. here's a quick look at what's to come. threatens no one syria is a nonbeliever here in country what's going on is not an uprising it's not a revolution it's not a civil war the i.c.r.c. was paid eight million dollars by washington to lie to lie is if their lie change international law and i disagree completely with stephen

they didn't unleash this power in fact there's lots of debate in washington now and lots of reluctance to supply weapons because they know it might end up in the hands of al qaida but at the same time this level of persistent meddling alarming there are allies to meddle. consistently and kind of fueling the fire in syria is very very destructive and i think this component of the chemical weapons is only going to mother the picture. i. america's pristine track record of drone strikes in pakistan this year has become a source of pride one hundred fifty militants dead and no civilian losses but experts say those figures from the new america foundation just don't stand up the white house decrees any man killed by drones is guilty until proven otherwise with more on the numbers here is our washington correspondent. if you believe this chart as seen on c.n.n.

american drone strikes in pakistan have been so precise that they haven't killed a single innocent person this year the chart shows last year the strikes targeted four hundred thirty one militants and killed only twenty six quote unquote others meaning civilians the data was compiled by the new america foundation now how did this foundation come up with the numbers which look pretty much like advertising for drones they link press. reports when you actually look at the reports reports almost half of them are attributed to some unnamed intelligence officials who give the number of who they refer to as militants and a few more details for example the a.f.p. agency report about a strike in north waziristan earlier this month says quote it was difficult to identify the bodies immediately as some of them were charred end of quote but this survey which was broadcast on c.n.n. doesn't have to go deep into details as to who was identified as who nor does it have to clarify the definition of the word militant in this context as seen by the

obama administration and according to the obama administration all military age males in a strike zone count as combatants unless there is explicit intelligence possed humourously proving them innocent so someone has to prove their innocence after they're dead president obama lawyer by background personally approves the kill list now how does the administration get away with this take no prisoners policy double speak is one of the ways illegally executing people is fine as long as you call them militants as pointed out by the london based bureau for investigative journalism it's very hard to reveal exact numbers they put the total of civilian civilians killed in drone strikes in pakistan at around eight hundred where is if you believe the new america foundation chart its half effect analysts say the reports by pakistani officials are not always reliable because of their dubious position on the one hand the cast of glee allowed the drone strikes on the other hand they condemned them the public to publicly condemn them arguably to resonate

more with the sentiments of the population in pakistan that is furious with u.s. actions population that sees a different chart not the success graphics cast on c.n.n. and the question they ask is how much killing will be enough in washington i'm going to check on. much more lined up ahead for you here on r.g.p. including a look at. why europe's motor industry is hitting the skids cartel's its current sales crumble of cross the e.u. leaving top manufacturers no choice but to put the brakes on production lines for details just ahead so. you're across this is the very top moody's slaps a negative outlook on the form itself will see one business around twenty pounds. but first a horrendous discovery in the russian uro's two hundred and fifty human embryos that were found in the woods may have been used for illegal research or to sean

thomas has more gruesome details. what we know right now is two hundred forty eight human fetuses were discovered in a remote region in the year olds in a forest fire officials say that the remains are a biomedical waste police say that there were four plastic barrels contained remains that were preserved in formaldehyde and some of those remains had tags on them with surnames and numbers also some of the real lives of these containers were off and some of the remains were scattered across the forest floor and they were discovered by a local fisherman who was in the woods looking for some firewood for his campfire sell some containers that he thought he could use for water wanted to bring them home and then he couldn't now the investigation is focused in two parts first of all why and how the by a medical waste could have found its place in this part of the forest could it be negligence on behalf of the company that is charged with disposing of this by a medical waste of the second half of the investigation focuses on the use of the

fetuses in the first place now this could be from research from the hospitals in the three major cities in the area surrounding this wooded area this research was headed up by a woman who was fired in two thousand and eleven it is believed that during that time she took some of the medical waste with her when she left and police say that this waist might be part of some of those remains that she brought with her also police say that the regarding the secrecy around this type of research that it could very possibly well be illegal but that is not unknown at this time hospitals in a one hundred kilometer radius of the area where these remains were found have been given a request to account for how they have used embryos in the past one thing that we do know is that all of the embryos that were found in this series of containers in the woods were past the twenty two week mark which is where women in russia are allowed to legally have an abortion they can only have an abortion for medical reasons so that is one thing that is under consideration in this investigation and

right now so police have their hands full trying to figure out exactly how these remains that got to this wooded area the first place and whether the research that caused these remains to need to be disposed of was legal or illegal. so for more on all of our stories you can head to our website there now we're reporting on the london olympics and how it isn't exactly welcoming everyone from around the world the bell russian president is a night access to the games we tell you why at archie dot com. that's a big no from the n.g.o.s as the heads of groups in russia threatened to boycott a new ban obliging them to register as foreign agents find out more online. where the league's editor julian a song which hasn't been sitting idle while holed up seeking asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london has been bolstering his legal team in a big way signing up the human rights lawyer who indicted the late chilean leader augusta pinochet or to laura smith explains what this means for

a sumptuous case what his team is constantly trying to do is keep him in the public eye and this is certainly a significant development that. they spanish judge and lawyer says all cost on has been hired to take his case and it means a new legal strategy and also to show how what they're calling secret u.s. proceedings so these credible reports that we've been hearing about a sealed indictments against stupid ass arms and also the subpoenaing of the grand jury over in the states have compromised these processes including the process to extradite you to innocence and buses are garson is that is an incredibly interesting character in fact he's the man that hollywood is preparing to make a movie about his life he's a spanish lawyer and a judge who shot to fame just over twenty years ago when he shook the international justice system by issuing an international arrest warrant for pinochet and since then he's really spearheaded this fight against wrongdoing in both latin america

and latterly in spain he has recently been involved in his own legal battles as well only this year he was fighting three different cases at the same time one he. was found guilty of and he was in fact disbarred from being a judge or a magistrate in spain for eleven years as a result of that in february this year he was found guilty of ordering illegal recordings of suspects talking to their lawyers he's also been not convicted but reprimanded for something that he was involved in which was an investigation into the disappearance of one hundred thousand people in spain under the regime of franco now that was found to be illegal by the spanish authorities and amnesty has been declared on the time that franco was in charge in spain in relation to judith miller says that there's seems to be a worrying lack of safeguards and transparency as far as his case is concerned so what it really means globally for julian i saw it is that he's got another big hit

in the world if human rights protection on his side. so it's tried tax incentives bonuses and steep discounts but europe's car making industry is still hurting into the red losing business fast stalling sales even french time is laying off thousands of workers and shutting down one of its plants in paris as our europe correspondent has sort of silly explains it's not only the economic slowdown that's putting a spoke in the wheels. anger among workers eight thousand jobs across france will be slashed by their employer p.s. if usual situation more than three thousand in this plant alone a blow to the new president's pledge of creating new jobs and to france is once a thriving industry. but trigger has been working for the company for eighteen years at the end of last month he lost his job at another peugeot site that was closed down and was transferred to this factory as luck would have it he's about to get fired a second time and he showed us what exactly this would mean for him. after the

close the other five g. i had no choice but to move to get closer to the only site where they had moved me otherwise i would have been unemployed but just as i arrived here i hadn't even finished painting the flood just as my wife came here their names the new closure i just don't know what to do now but workers say it's not just the economic crisis that's hurt them it's also politics specifically sanctions against iran. the iranian market is huge it's the second market after france four hundred fifty thousand cars sold in two thousand and eleven so it's fifteen percent of the sales so it's a lot of money lost so if the government can intervene on a commercial level you can intervene at the social level to ban firing the workers of this plant say that they have no other choice but to keep on fighting but they're not oblivious to the fact that a whole generation of older workers who had seen a france's industrial boom are now starting to see a change in their economy and then there's a so-called lost generation of young people many of whom are without problems and

they're also seeing a change in want to be more literally getting up more on their own it's out of the closet a capitalist system of riches the myth in my generation we've been studying for years. myself i am. a master degree and i cannot find any job of course i cannot buy a house or buy a new car or if i want to do it i have to go to the bank and i get a credit so that means there will be prison with reason alone this car dealer says the number of young first time car buyers has indeed gone down staggering youth unemployment adding injury to an already. bleak future for europe's car makers and be it generations of workers for their generation a similar vision you might see them. we will start a new battle with p.s.e. group because what's happening is

a normal i think. france neither in your evolution we're working on it does or still your r t paris. protests have broken out in southern dallas after police officers killed an unarmed man this comes after a long forces shot dead two suspects one of which was on arm in anaheim and brutally dispersed demonstrations across the city parties are among the lindo has more on the unrest in california. the city of at home to the happiest place on earth but today activists are calling this city a powder keg which is ready to explode following those two deadly officer involved shootings over the weekend now this all started on saturday when. an armed latino man was shot and killed by police officers but there was a spontaneous protest of this police shooting and police responded by shooting pepper balls indiscriminately into that crowd which included women and children

getting reports that there will be increased patrols not just here in city hall but in those neighborhoods where the shootings have been so a lot of people in this community believe that the increased police presence is only going to heighten tensions between police officers and the community. but the american people's growing mistrust of their police is driving some to protect their own families later this hour renew an in-depth look at the fine line between self-defense and violent their talent. was shot four times in total. three of the boys are still a lot of. people should be allowed to defend themselves or they are younger than the law abiding people are not sure i feel.
