at seven pm in the russian capital this is r t and the many so now with our top story moscow has hit out at washington over its comments on last week's blast in damascus which killed president also its key aides foreign minister sergei lavrov said the u.s. practically just fine terrorism charges lucy catherine upcher has the details. it was a socially a 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 a difference they have actively had said that these attacks were not surprising given the conduct of the present bashar al assad's government one spokesman even
11:02 am
said those who died were key architects of the regime's assaults on the syrian people it's a very different sort of response that we've seen two different kinds of explosions in the tops in syria at these statements caught the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov here is how he responded to the ongoing battle of words and you can you may look closer 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 let's go even to sports which terrorist attacks until the security council we won't be 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 vetoed with the help of china and russia last week. hostilities in 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 left. little choice our correspondent in damascus oksana boyko has met some of them. it fled 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 it was before the while and broke out in syria the residents of the nap neighborhood were all well familiar with the ugly realities of war or the past decade this area has become home what

america's pristine track record of drone strikes in pakistan the syria 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 to creese any men killed by drones as guilty until proven otherwise and with more on those numbers here's our washington correspondent cam. 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
11:10 am
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 explicitly intelligence possed humorously proving them innocent so someone has to prove their innocence after they're dead president obama lawyer by background personally approves the kill list
11:11 am
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 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 whereas if you believe the new america foundation chart it's 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 publicly condemned 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 of 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 for you ahead including

a look at why europe's motor industry is hitting the car sales crumble across the e.u. leaving top manufacturers no choice but to put the brakes on production lines the details just ahead also. your cross' who's the very top was moved to slow the negative. self business the old twenty. but first investigators say hundreds of fetuses found dumped in a wood in russia were over five months old and may have been used for illegal research artie's sean thomas has more on the grim find. 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 there officials say that the remains are medical 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
11:13 am
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
11:14 am
this waist might be part of some of those remains that she brought with her also police say that 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 fetuses 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 in the first place and whether the research that caused these remains to need to be disposed of was legal or illegal. we're more on all our stories head to our website where we're reporting on how the london olympics isn't exactly welcoming everyone from around the world the belorussian

11:16 am
proceedings so these credible reports that we've been hearing about a sealed indictments against do that and also the subpoenaing of the grand jury over in the states have compromised these processes including the process to extradite you deny science and buses are garson is a 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 voice against wrongdoing in both latin america and latterly in spain he has recently been involved in his own legal battles as well earlier 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
11:17 am
recordings of suspects talking to their lawyers he's also been not convicted reprimanded for something that he was involved in which was an investigation into the disappearance of a hundred thousand people in spain under the regime of franco now that was found to be illegal by the spanish authorities an amnesty has been declared on the time that franco was in charge in spain in relation to our says that there 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 assault is that he's got another big hit in the world if human rights protection on his side. now it's tried tax incentives bonuses and steep discounts but europe's car making industry is still hurdling into the red losing business fast a stalling sales even french trying to zero is laying off thousands of workers and shutting down one of its plants in paris as our europe correspondent tess are silly
11:18 am
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 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 the just as i arrived here i hadn't even finished painting the flood just as my wife came here the end i'm still new closure
11:19 am
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 intervene at the social level to be 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 would seem to france's industrial boom are now starting to see a change in their economy and this is a so-called lost generation of young people many of whom are without clothes and they're all seeing a change and want to they can be more clearly 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 must third degree and i cannot find
11:20 am
a 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 prisoned 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 the next we will start a new bottle with p.s.e. group because what's happening is a normal i think. france neither a new revolution we're working on it does or sylvia r.t. paris. well france's president i was on the last. acceptable as he struggles to fulfill his election pledge of more jobs are to put this and his other promises to appear our girl rue and former advisor to france for metherell the last
11:21 am
socialist president of france before a lot of what's next. i think the image of a politician as the brand image the image of a president or a stone is only a part of the truth there is always a dark side so in france well promises growth someone made the same mistake nicolas sarkozy did alone does not control growth it's a promise that risks disappointing the french people he would have a state of grace for six months but by twenty thirteen if there's no revival of economic growth which no one really sees coming he will lose his credibility i like not always prefer the psychological slogans over political slogans of the president purchasing power hugo the president of growth a promise is that dependent on external rather than.
