chris reports on our. washington pledges more support for the syrian rebels but the russian foreign minister says that by justifying the blast in damascus america was all but it. perfect killing streak u.s. media credits the one hundred percent accuracy of america's pakistan drone strike helped by a liberal interpretation of the word terrorist. a disturbing discovery in russian woodland police say almost two hundred fifty human fetuses found dumped in plastic barrels were over five months old and may have been used for illegal research. by the heavyweight judy the sun just legal team the man who chilean dictator pinochet for human rights abuses now joins the whistleblower in his fight.

oh well could be watching r t it's kevin owen here in moscow at nine pm with the top stories for you and first moscow's hit out of washington over its comments about last week's blasts in damascus which killed president assad's it's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the u.s. practically justified terrorism. from port. was essentially 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 different they effectively had said that these attacks were not surprising given 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 and at times in syria these statements caught the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov here is how he responded to the ongoing battle of words. 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 force we won't 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.

still it is in syria of seems scores of people displaced but for some refugees it's not the first time they've been forced to flee many iraqis who escaped the violence in their homeland took shelter in syria but now they're having to return home again saying the new war left them little choice a correspondent in damascus or. if their home countries in search of peace only to be ambushed by war in a 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 even before their while and broke out in syria the residents of the in our neighborhood were all well familiar with the ugly realities of war or the past decade this area has become home one thousands 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 this bus station iraqi destinations have never been in such high demand as now for several dozen residents of this area were shot or beheaded in the past few weeks many are scrambling to leave i don't know how many were right here with the 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 unknown many here believe it's a 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 to 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 worshippers lost their lives in a suicide bombing. is now close some believe the attacks against iraqis in syria may also be driven by sectarian division most iraqis a shia mosque travel's 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 writes 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 they have girls with their heads covered and girls with their heads uncovered you have christians sunni's in shiite and 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 syria's opposition says thousands of government troops have been moved to the country's commercial hub of aleppo the city has been plagued by fierce street battles for almost a week now since the rebels moved in from the outskirts of whose money is to catch

up by phone with a reporter who is currently in the city. from the many police centers in the city by the opposition members of. syrian free army. as you know. there are some clashes in the city in some parts of the far east. side of the city syrian retreat for. the freighters there are just some. by some helicopter we can't break through the fences are very full. fossil organisations the volunteers that are trying to help those people government in the trying to help by opening the school they are trying to help these things to work and to give them what being the berries are really knowledge for to see changes but not the people will. change but

a gun or change by force you know they will. because we are full of examples in other cities like dance like. other cities. i think we ring in for people in syria is think the change in. peace in a political way by council forces the focus of the conflict shifted to aleppo off the army flushed i want to describe these militants from the key districts of the capital damascus but the u.s. has shaken off the setback handing the rebels actions in pledging additional support from the investigative website who was why the com says the mainstream media is singing in choosing with washington's anti assad stands. 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 wide 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. keeping a close eye on the developments in syria more analysis on the timeline of the conflict are available about t. dot com and our crews are reporting from the heart of the syrian war zone the voices in damascus we saw earlier she's bringing you the latest updates via twitter all of the most recent post says people in the capital are cleaning streets of dust and rubble left over after last week's rebel or so to the city show says the

infrastructure damage across syria is estimated at around eleven billion. america's pristine track record of drugs drugs in pakistan the shoes 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 add up the white house decrees any man killed by drones is guilty until proven otherwise with more of the numbers than is a washington correspondent guy and. 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 report it 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. to fight 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 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 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 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 they test with glee allow 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 graphics cast on c.n.n.

and the question they ask is how much killing will be enough in washington i'm going to. much more lined up ahead for you in r.t. tonight including a look at why europe's motor industry is hitting the skids right now. from going across the e.u. living taught my new fighter is no choice but to put the brakes on the production lines got more money ahead also. bureaucrats this is the very top was moody's slaps a negative outlook on the e.u. bailout fund itself we'll see why in business around twenty polls. stories emerged today investigators say hundreds of fetuses found dumped in a wood in russia were over five months old and may have been used for legal research r.t. shaun thomas has more on the grizzly 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 now also some of the lives of these containers were off and some of the remains were scattered across the forest floor 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 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 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. sure thomas is our correspondent there now for more normal stories that we've

brought you take a look at our web site r.t. dot com we're reporting there now how the london olympics isn't exactly welcoming everyone from around the world the belarusian president being denied access to the games will tell you why but r.t. dot com and it's a big no from the n.g.o.s as the heads of groups here in russia are threatening now to boycott but a new law has been brought in a bludgeon them to register as quote foreign agents unquote find out more about that as well on our website. this is r t thanks being with us wiki leaks editor julian assange chosen been sitting idle while he's been holed up seeking asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london he's been bolstering his legal team in a big way signing up now the human rights lawyer who dated the late chilean leader or goes to pinochet artie's or

a smith explains what that means for sanchez case now. what his team is constantly trying to do is keep him in the public eye and this is certainly a significant development that this spanish judge and lawyer has are costs on has been hired to take on julian assange and 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 indictment against julian as sons and also the subpoenaing of the grand jury over in the states have compromised these processes including the process to extradite you know innocence and balances are garson is a is an incredibly interesting character in fact he's a 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 shot shook the international justice system by issuing an international arrest warrant for pinochet and since then he's really spearheaded this five c.

gainst 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 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 julian assange 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 assange is that he's got another big hitter in the world if human rights protection on his side. it's tried tax

incentives bonuses steep discounts but europe's car making industry is still hurtling into the red nonetheless losing business faster stalling sales even french giant persia is laying off thousands of workers and shutting down one of its plants in paris as our europe correspondent test for solar explains now it's not over the economic slowdown is putting a spoke in the wheels either. anger among workers eight thousand jobs across france will be slashed by their employer p.s.e. 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 it 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 all seeing a change they want to be more literally getting up more on their own that's out of the closet a capitalist system of riches limits to my generation we've been studying for years. myself. a master degree and i cannot find 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 a 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 carmakers and be it generations of workers or their generation a similar vision unites them. we will start a new battle with p.s.e. group because what's happening is a normal i think
