syrian rebels the full truth of heavy weapons from abroad for the first time despite american officials fear is they might be used to target civilian airline. lawyer confirms that sweden refuses to question the wiki leaks of primo in london and it concerns the country once more than just solving the sex crimes complaint against him. and i'll be having a look at how to top belorussian officials who've lost a job thanks to an invasion of teddy bears.

this is r t live from moscow it's kevin and he would do this with our top story at nine pm moscow time syrian rebel forces are thought to have acquired the first surface to air missiles from foreign allies they believe have been delivered via neighboring turkey the rebel free syrian army denies those claims though which joined the u.s. in saying president assad will be forced to leave soon some american officials have been wary of arming the opposition with missiles fearing they could easily be used against civilian airliners the u.n. also confirmed that assad's opponents now have heavy weapons including tanks as laura smith reports opposition forces are also busy courting some of the world's most respected media even though the facts. journalists speaks out says the headline in the b.b.c. on the guardian syrian regime t.v. reported defects that talking about how tan slave who claims he was a reporter to syrian state t.v.

channels but couldn't bear to be a part of the propaganda machine. anymore and after spying for the rebels for months eventually defected to turkey but the syrian news channel. says he's nothing but a fantasy business we. used to work as a correspondent on the syrian news channel have nothing to do with reality. so says from near the other t.v. stations labor claims to have worked for also confirmed he never had nevertheless the guardian and b.b.c. have jumped on the story as the first example of quote a high profile defector from damascus is powerful propaganda. but as an actual anchor from pointed out when we spoke to him it's labor really was a public figure it wouldn't have been hard to verify his credentials for i think i

saw his profile on facebook and was shocked to discover it says he was right channel there are lots of ways to check this out each of us has an idea of a journalist employed by the syrian news channel so we can use to confirm our identity and employment if it comes to that we have our stories of materials to prove that to each journalist accumulate some materials in the process especially think the syrian news channel the british media has used labor to tell a story of a propaganda machine in syria that pumps out of pro-government message we're godless of the truth meanwhile the b.b.c. and the guardian appear to be sticking like glue to their lying. rebels equal freedom fighters labor himself now says he wants to work for an opposition channel he told the guardian he met someone from al-jazeera who called him a government spy with a psychological problem perhaps that is closer to the truth than the british media

got. well when it comes to covering the conflict the world's main media often picks up quickly on stories which strike out of the assad regime but they frequently ignore videos like this telling me other side of the story this footage simile shows the execution of a sad supporters by rebels from the free syrian army these pictures that were posted online appear to show bloodied men surrounded by an excited group of gunmen and later opened fire independent journalist james colbert believes the black and white picture big painted of the syrian conflict in the media is far from fair. but this shows as a coordinated series of efforts on the part of the media to really to really undermine the basic journalistic truth when it comes to the reporting in favor of skewing the story against the assad government and towards the rebels and that shows the political bias of many of these outlets but what's happening in syria even if we want to talk simply about the internal conflict in syria we have to look at the deep sectarian divisions in syria and talk about the the sunni majority the

shia minority the alawite minority within that shia minority christians and how all of those forces are at play in this conflict and it's something much much more difficult to to understand than simply framing it in that pro-democracy versus tyranny type debate that that appeals to to the black and white narrative that they're trying to portray and i think that doesn't even take into account the bigger picture of the international forces that play there. i just remind you and r.t. crew is of course in syria updating via twitter to this analysis comments and reactions from our correspondents tweets that i will bring you the latest pictures from the conflict of countries where. julian assange just lawyer has confirmed to r.t. that sweden has rejected ecuador as invitation to question the wiki leaks founder and its london embassy that despite two years of trying to get a statement of a sex crime allegations they were supposed been holed up in ecuador's diplomatic

mission now for over six weeks seeking asylum. denies the sex crimes claims and believes they are just a pretext to have them over to the u.s. he fears prosecution for espionage after a massive leak of secret diplomatic and military files so just lawyer jennifer robinson said americans give no short and says they're not interested in prosecuting him even though it could be done easily. we have requested the a straight in government to ask the very same assurances that we're now seeing ecuador ask in accordance with their obligations in investigating the political asylum application but it is a great shame this is to my knowledge the first time in history than a straight in citizen has sought refuge with a foreign government because our government refused to take the action which was legally possible for a government to take many suspect that there is an existing sealed indictment for joy and that that that indictment there simply waiting for the appropriate time to exercise it was implement that indictment as a matter of u.s. law as a criminal offense to reveal the existence of a sealed indictment but what the u.s. government has not done and which is available to them if they are not interested

as the u.s. ambassador states then it would be a simple matter for the u.s. attorney general to state explicitly to confirm that the criminal investigation is over and that no charges will be laid and no extradition request would be made but they have so far failed to do so scott horton from the harper's magazine told me that even if it does get asylum in ecuador he won't get there without the u.k. or sweden is cooperation. to me it's hard to understand how the ecuadorians are going to play this about even if they decide to grant his request for asylum that doesn't mean he would be able to walk out of the embassy go to heathrow and fly to ecuador he would still be held there you don't need be able to transfer out with some sort of consent from the u.k. government and i don't think that will be forthcoming without some sort of agreement from the swedish government so it's diplomatically very very thorny and setting up a scenario in which julian the songs may be aghast in close quarters

in the ecuadorian embassy for many years the question with australia is one that's been in the background for many many years in fact if you look through the history of the war on terror you find a number of australian citizens who were seized by the united states who were mistreated some tortured some held in possible conditions in guantanamo and the australian government was remarkably quiet about all of this not really not only not intervening but sometimes attacking their own citizens and i think what's going on there is frankly a rather surprising attitude on the part of the australian government towards the united states has been seed to challenge the us over any issue scott horton with the last no while on the earlier house arrest to his sons produced his own t.v. series it was shown here and interviewing political firebrands who the other networks ignored if you want to catch up and those programs going all twelve of

them are online instantly you can watch them but as rather song dot com streaming we have you want to see it as. dot com. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political act. before the source material is helps keep journalism we. we wanted to preserve. something else. better rose says fired two of its military top brass over their failure to stop an invasion all of swedish parachuting teddy bears you hear me roy artie's peter all over explains why the first flying right now in minsk. it would seem that if you don't have to go down to the woods in bellary see if you are looking for

a big surprise the teddy bears are literally parachuting in from the skies now those bez aren't parachuting in for a picnic they were parachuting in bearing the messages of free speech against human rights abuses now it's understood that the swedish p.r. group calling themselves studio town were behind this stunt they believe a rented a a light aircraft in lithuania flew it across the border into bellary swear they dropped the band of b. all means if you will as funny and his life hard as this all seems it has resulted in two of belarus's senior generals losing their positions we're talking about the heads of the belarusian air force and ed's offenses as well as the general who is in charge of border control by the russian president alexander lukashenko and no joking mood when it comes to these tragedies and on the ground to better russian citizens who are being arrested and charged with aiding and abetting the swedish

stunt could face seven years up to seven years in prison so as much as this is a very fun story and not so much of a teddy bear as picnic though for those who have lost their jobs or a facing trial. online right now it has got the stories from around the world when ever you want to click on them including the apocalypse coming maybe for coca-cola we explain why the dude predicting mayan calendar is set to see the american drink giant routed out a bolivian later this year what does that matter will tell you online r.t. dot com and how to make an entrance if you're the mayor why london's boris johnson's been hanging around the london park. spain's regional leaders a squaring up to madrid and boycotting the latest tough deficit targets the euro

zone's fourth largest economy is desperately trying to fill its budget gap and recently imposed the deepest cuts in decades but authorities are reports next people are refusing to accept measures which are taking them to the brink. still probing us as we barely have anything left this has been the message over the past few weeks of hundreds of thousands spain yards who have hit the streets in anti-government demonstrations. stare into measures unacceptable especially with so many already in the streets it's going to be on the ice and then strangling our own country it's crucial that we react if we don't do because in any country of the world and it's here that the social divide in spain is seen clearly policemen and firemen are on both sides of the protest unlike the greeks the spaniards have been very peaceful in their anti-government protests but the deeper the country goes into austerity measures the hungry and the more aggressive people get taking their

anger into the streets on july eleventh the spanish government announced more budget cuts will be introduced in order to find another sixty five billion euros for a bank bailout plan and called it a necessary last resort measure this well and thought if you can this moment that this is a hard moment it was difficult for us to accept these new measures we understand the feelings of the protesters and the only thing we can ask now is to be strongly that if these measures are necessary the. hundreds of thousands were quick to react hitting the streets across spain in eighty cities in total and in the rather untypical scenario for the country ordinary citizens clashed with the police thirty nine people were injured in madrid alone while police had to use tear gas and rubber bullets against the regime crowds some of which shockingly enough were there callie. the people when you take their food you take all that they have you take

their you know homes and they respond quite viscerally what we saw were you know police charging against other police protesting police we saw them charging against firemen and we saw them charging against public sector workers and chasing them through the streets of madrid and. you know neighborhood neighborhoods in madrid the actual people that lived there were actually throwing flower pots from the balconies at the police now that's a qualitative change what is adding more fuel to the already explosive situation is that financial forecast for next year suggests things will be getting even worse if the government sticks to its austerity policy seen are you will if there are no radical changes in political economic and social spheres then spain will gradually enter into greece the level of street tension will reach a claim. that spain already possesses europe's highest unemployment rate of twenty four percent or six million people imagine what a crowd of this size could do in

a moment of street rage should madrid take another risky attempt to deprive them of their means of survival alexi russia c.r.t. reporting from madrid in spain. just let you know next hour on r t one of the architects of the european union tells us why the integrated bloc should not leave spaniards and greeks to face their problems alone this is better whatever. you are in the same boat you are in east timor. clambers of the mountain link together. you're in the same boat rowing if one is trading the others will probably. arab israelis could soon find themselves called up for the military they'd previously been exempt from having to serve in the israeli defense forces but now they face a difficult decision risk in order to fight against their own people or volunteer and the car started as

a traitor as our middle east correspondent paula slayer explains. a monument to israel's fallen look more closely and you will see many of the names are of arab soldiers fighters who joined an army that many of their birth one here called the enemy. but in meetings like this across the country the mood is changing most arab israelis are saying no to being drafted into the israeli defense forces the issue is up for debate as is well with views current military draft laws that allow orthodox jews and arabs to avoid national service. the israeli military wants to make a serve not because they need us because we want to control the arab state of mind and divide us. in a time of war the army generals will call a party in ages and against whom will they fight against our arab and palestinian brothers. but remarkably some arabs actually choose to serve in the last two years those volunteering for the i.d.f.

doubled to four hundred. i volunteered because this is my home away and i don't have another land and i live here and so i feel it's my responsibility to contribute to the country without the right of of them led super's two brothers also serve an idea if it means their family has been branded traitors people who have sold out to the enemy for money. i'm not a traitor i am an israeli arab i think it's high time that the arabs of israel shoulders some of the responsibility and volunteer for the army i'm not saying there's no races no deprivation but still me a country that's perfect. the i.d.f. is working hard to recruit from the ranks of the country's one and a half million arabs one of the recruiters is colonel ram is made from the druze minority. when the i.d.f. is composed of the full spectrum of israeli citizens becomes a more moral army but the issue of culture is very significant we are so-called

disconnecting the soul just from their culture and immersing them in another call. which is israeli integration is difficult. but the voices of criticism from within the arab community are loud not in a shift says the i.d.f. is an occupying force and those arabs who choose to serve in it cross the line you cannot ask me to serve them better than why you can discriminate against me i mean and doesn't go like this vast majority of our community says the. thing to do. with the towel nor citric spy on august the first arab israelis and ultra-orthodox jews who until now have been exempt from military service may find themselves forced to do so regardless of their beliefs each israeli prime minister has said to the arab community first serve in the army and then you will be treated as equals but arab israelis are asked what kind of equality is it when regardless of whether they serve in the army or not israeli jews will always be more equal than them r.t.

tell of of iran's being warned it must negotiate limits on its nuclear program or face the threat of u.s. military action defense secretary leon panetta says ultimatum for a fresh round of sanctions imposed by washington policy director of the national iranian american council believes those attractions do nothing though but heard ordinary citizens. i think what we have in place is it constitutes economic warfare and it dovetails nicely with the cyber warfare and the covert warfare that we are now engaged in with iran but what they want to build a do was to actually sanction every single financial energy inside of you broad to make it legally impossible to send any goods to iran or for iran to send anything out the majority of what the bill does is actually impose these restrictions that are blocking medicine from getting into iran that are blocking food and humanitarian products from getting into iran they're isolating iranian students who want to study abroad and so when you actually add them all up the human rights

measures fall pretty short and it's sort of a joke to say that this is advancing human rights when you're punishing people on a humanitarian level like this more world news in brief a second israeli man has died from self-immolation in a local hospital protesting against israel's drastic welfare cuts it follows the death of a disabled fifty seven year old man who set himself a light during a demonstration earlier in july the so-called occupy israel movement over social injustice is gaining momentum as the government struggles to boost the economy through increasing taxes and cutting spending. the typhoon that swept through the philippines is now claimed at least twelve lives police and coast guard searching for the people went missing after strong winds and intense rain swept the country more than one hundred thousand displaced flooding and pools in the capital also forced the u.s. embassy compound to be closed. america's chief diplomat is in africa to urge leaders to reconsider their growing ties with china washington's increasingly concerned over beijing's rapidly spreading influence in the region as

a kiwi's editor of the pan african news and believes hillary clinton's visit will do more harm than good. one hillary clinton went to africa last year she expressed some trepidation about the growing relationship between africa and the people's republic of china but it appears that most of the states in africa have a very positive view of the burgeoning relationships between the african states and china and i think this is something that's very very frustrating for the united states the u.s. has been heavily dependent upon all that comes from various parts of africa there has been huge discoveries just recently of both and natural gas in east africa off the coast of east africa and these of course are providing new opportunities for the people's republic of china to enter into economic partnerships with africa and because of the economic crisis in the united states

it's going to pose a challenge to the u.s. state department i don't believe that hillary clinton is going to be successful and discouraging this growing relationship between africa and china in fact she may bring about some resentment for involving herself in the internal affairs of africa and africa as a relationship with china. this is a right now live from the business center dmitri medvedev because they dmitri stimulus is the name of the game tell us more well we're looking out for the fed meeting which is actually a couple of hours really and we're really looking forward to seeing some kind of vocabulary which would indicate that the door is at least open for more stimulus measures also a policy meeting for the e.c.b. the on tomorrow which could also give us. some kind of hint as to will there be more support to the market and it appears in the united states it's actually quite in demand because recent stats of come in from the a.d.p.

automated data processing on the jobs market showing that there is one hundred sixty three thousand new jobs added in the private sector which is a minor improvement on the previous month we've got a full fledged report friday coming out from the labor department and manufacturing went up by just one notch but still below fifty percent for the p.m.i. index in the united states which means there's a contraction rather than an expansion now over on the u.s. markets we're seeing the dow jones and nasdaq now moving into positive territory this is because on the back of these hopes that there may be a stimulus over in europe the london is much more much more optimistic than frankel second look at europe. the footsie ended up one point four percent of course the festive mood over in the british capital as the olympics is going on and probably this is brought to investors to the world to buy rather than sell whereas the frankfurt is a bit of a different story now in a raw show we see it also a bit of

a mixed session but the difference between the my sex and the r.t.s. here lies in the exchange rate of the ruble because both forces denominated in different currencies the rubles a bit weaker so the mice explore a bit of a boost secondly what's moving the m i six and that's the financial sector led by v t v and also one of the best performing stocks was metals miner met shell up more than six percent very impressive after posting an increase in steel production of around thirteen percent in first half of this year sending a very positive signals investors and gazprom was worse than the market as it continues fighting the national station of pipeline and if you were in that. range . and now let's move over to commodities that we're seeing a big move in both light sweet and brant and that's on the back. stockpiles in the u.s. fall into the lowest level in seven months seven months falling by the biggest

level in seven months i should correct myself and that coupled with the stimulus hopes this is providing more buying activity on the commodities market. and now let's take a look at currencies the russian ruble was not getting any support from the world price we might see a bit of a different picture tomorrow of course when at ten thirty am most of time ten ten am moscow time will see the opening of the currency markets but it was losing around how percent against the basket of the euro and the dollar whereas the above piece main currencies remain pretty stable against one. finally a top bankers admitted that his profession is to blame for the crisis he said and the haldane of the bank of england set theories became a theological dr e. adding quote we started believing assumptions and saying things that made no intellectual sense the latest salvo in the crisis blame game with the states of the european union blasting each other for the world's economic problems well it's now

up to them both the fed and the e.c.b. to decide upon stimulus measures that. will have forgotten. more in the way we look at how the central bank affect the rest of us during these tough economic times that's coming up after the headlines in a few minutes with me kevin zero in just under four minutes in fact here on moscow .
