tonight syrian rebels are thought to have obtained heavy weapons from abroad for the first time despite american officials fear they could be used to target civilian airliners we report. julia salinger's lawyer confirms this sweden refuses to question the wiki leaks supremum in london concerns the country wants more than just solving the sex crimes complaint against him. and i'll be having a look at how to top fellow russian officials who've lost their jobs thanks to an invasion of teddy bears. welcome mrs arty live from moscow it's kevin owen here this with our top story for

you at ten pm syrian rebel forces are thought to have acquired their first surface to air missiles from foreign allies are believed to have been delivered via neighboring turkey the rebel free syrian army denies those claims though which come as ankara 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 were not all over this. journalist speaks out says the headline in the b.b.c. on the guardian syrian regime t.v. reported defects that talking about hats hands who claims he was a reporter to syrian state t.v. channels but couldn't. better 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 right here says he's nothing but a fantasy minister. claims that he used to work as a correspondent in the syrian news channel have nothing to do with reality it's a lie he applied a year and a half ago but the channel didn't find the job so says from outdoing 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 if his labor really was a public figure it wouldn't have been hard to verify his credentials. i saw his preferred on face book and was shocked to discover it says he was right channel

there are lots of ways check this each of us has an idea of a journalist employed by the syrian news channel that we can use to confirm our identity and employment if it comes to that we have our stories and materials to prove that to each journalist accumulate some materials in the process especially if they were the syrian news channel. the british media has used labor to tell a story of a propaganda machine in syria that pumps out a pro-government message with godless of the truth meanwhile the b.b.c. and the guardian appear to be sticking like glue to their own lying ass as equals rebels equal freedom fighters slaver himself now says he wants to work for an opposition channel he told the guardian he met someone from out just the or who called him a government spy with a psychological problem perhaps that is closer to the truth than the british media go. but when it comes to covering the conflict the world's my immediate often picks

up quickly on stories which strike out at the assad regime but they frequently ignore videos like this telling purportedly the other side of the story this footage seemingly shows the execution of assad supporters by rebels from the free syrian army now these pictures that were posted online appeared to show bloodied men surrounded by an excited crowd a gunman who later opened fire we're not going to show you that independent journalist james corbett believes the black and white picture being painted of the syrian conflict in the media is far from fair. what this shows is a coordinated series of efforts on the part of the media to really to really undermine 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 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 survived an r.t. crew is of course in syria have been updating you reporting throughout the event rotating you on twitter as well as analysis this comment their reactions in our correspondents tweets that they think of much as the cam and we're bringing you the latest pictures from the conflict will come from the watching of the last seventeen months of the. genocide and his lawyers confirm to us that are to say that sweden has rejected ecuador as invitation to question the wiki leaks founder and its london embassy now that's despite two years of trying to get

a statement over sex crimes allegations the whistleblowers been holed up in ecuador's diplomatic mission for over six weeks now seeking asylum assad denies the state's crime claim since believes that just a pretext to head him over to the u.s. they face prosecution for espionage after a massive leak of secret diplomatic and military files such as lawyer jennifer robinson says america's given no assurances that they're not interested in prosecuting him even though that could be done by the to very easily. we have requested this trade in government to the very same assurances that we 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 our government to take many suspect that there is an existing sealed indictment for joy and that that that the indictment there simply waiting for the appropriate time to exercise to implement that indictment as

a matter of u.s. law is 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 that if they are not interested as the us 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 harper's magazine told me that even if during the surge does get asylum in ecuador you won't get there without the cooperation first. 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 impossible 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 see to challenge the us over any issue while under really house arrest you and sons produces a t.v. series shown here on on t.v.

interviewing the political five brands who the other networks ignored and if you want to catch up with them if you missed any we can let you know all twelve programs are online to streaming whenever you want to see him at a sun dot com. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact of. the source material is what helps keep journalism we. we wanted to preserve. something else. one of most bizarre stories of the day next beller has fired two of its military top brass over the failure to stop an invasion of swedish parachuting teddy bears you hear me right peter voser all over explain why the fur is flying in minsk over it all right now. but would seem that if you don't have to go down to the woods in

bed to receive 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 rented a light aircraft and lithuania flew it across the border into bellary swear they dropped the bonds 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's in charge of border control the russian president alexander lukashenko and no joking mood when it comes to these tragedies and on the ground to belorussian 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 bears picnic though for those who have lost their jobs or a facing trial. all of our correspondent covering that story for us today online right now we got the stories from around the world when you want them if you're not only a t.v. recovering nice tonight the possible apocalypse coming for coca-cola explain why the do predicting the mayan calendar is set to see the american dream to join a booted out of bolivia later this year one of more than one of our tea don't call . another make an entrance if you're the mayor as only he can yes london's boris johnson has been running around a city park in fine british style with his the union jack their great pictures online for most of.

spain's regional leaders a squaring up to madrid and boycotting the latest tough deficit targets the euro zone's fourth largest economy desperately trying to fill its budget gap and recently impose the deepest cuts in decades but it's artie's alexina a jet ski reports next people are refusing to accept measures we should 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 not going there by 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 and necessary last resort measure. 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 strong these measures are necessary. 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 crowd some of which shockingly enough where they're calling. 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 forecasts for next year suggest things will be getting even worse if the government sticks to its all stereotype policy seen. if there are no radical changes in political economic and social spheres then spin will gradually turning to greece the level of street tension will reach a climax in danish 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. r.t. reporting from madrid in spain a bit later this one of the architects of the european union speaks to us tells us why the integrated bloc should not leave spaniards and greeks to face the problems alone. in the same boat you are in east timor. living together. you are in the same boat rowing one is trading the others would probably. arab israelis could soon find themselves called up for the military they 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 volunteer because that is a traitor as our middle east correspondent paula sleepier explains. a monument to israel's fallen look more closely and you will see many of the names are of arabs all gers fighters who joined an army that many of their birth one here call 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 time for 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 them were there supers 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 chill 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 well then why are you doing i mean and doesn't go like this a vast majority of our community sees a. bad 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 paul asli r.t. tel aviv iran's big wall that must negotiate limits on its nuclear program or face the threat of u.s. military action defense secretary leon panetta is also made some follows a fresh round of sanctions imposed by washington the policy director of the national iranian american council told a c believes those restrictions do nothing but hurt 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 wanted this bill did do was to actually sanction every single financial energy inside of iran to make it legally impossible to send any goods to iran or for you want 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 there 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 and we bring up to date on this world using brief tonight a second israeli man has died from self-immolation in a local hospital after protesting against israel's drastic welfare cuts it follows the death of a fifty seven year old disabled man who set himself on fire station early last month the so-called occupy israel movement over social injustice is gaining momentum these billions the government struggles to boost the economy through increasing taxes and cutting spending a typhoon the swept through the philippines is no claimed at least eleven lives police and coast guard searching for the people who went missing after strong winds and intense rain swept through the country more than one hundred thousand have been displaced flooding interventional downpours in the capital also forced the u.s. embassy compound to be closed. america's chief diplomat is in africa to work

leaders to reconsider the 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 wire believes hillary clinton's visit will do more harm than good. one clinton went through our africa last year she expressed some trepidation about the growing relationship between africa and the people's republic of china. but it appears as of most of the states in africa i 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 both. 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 its relationship with china. this is known to be true we are waiting for is just minutes away now that crucial fed meeting what are we expected to hear to be treated well you know the best thing for the markets would be to hear that the economy is weak as controversial as it may sound because that could indicate that the fed is considering more stimulus measures and that's exactly what the market wants right now but what we have at the moment latest macroeconomic day it says come in from of the also makes it that's a processing or a.d.p. on the jobs market saying that the private sector added one hundred sixty three

thousand jobs and that's a bit better than in the previous month a bit better than expected too but the expectation is that the unemployment rate will still remain at eight point two percent which is well quite quite. rather higher than average level manufacturing has also improved by just a notch to forty nine point eight percent and still below fifty percent which is. the milestone between contraction and expansion in new factoring so therefore the markets right now are quite cautious as you can see the dow jones up by a bit nasdaq even looking to be red right now so no big moves ahead of the actual minutes released from that fed meeting although in the very beginning of the trading session there was a lot a lot of trading and lots of volumes and one hundred forty stocks were actually put for review i've just been reading because

a trader suspect there have been glitches in the system which would cause this kind of unusual activity on the market over in europe the market is closed with the london feeling a much better than frankfurt potentially this is because of course that the olympics are happening in london not in frankfurt and that's causing traders to be quite optimistic and they're rather buying the selling going out over on the russian markets we've seen a mixed picture and that's on the back of a weakening ruble there for the my six which is denominated in rubles is the games like the other ones second to some of the biggest movers and the financial sector was looking pretty well as you can see the v t v gaining measure was the outstanding performance of the day it's up more than six percent of the close as it said steel production was up thirteen percent first half of the year and gazprom is worse than the market as it's and of course trying to fight off the nationals action in the pipeline and. over on the commodities market we're seeing

a positive move in that stockpiles in the us a fall in the most in seven months and this is creating a buy signal for commodities although the russian ruble has not yet reacted to that we might see a completely different picture than it was today is akin to what was happening in currencies the ruble was weakening against the euro and the door. by quite quite a margin actually around half a percent which is. a lot for one session whereas the euro and the dollar barely changed out the whole day there's barely any movement there but that. things hurt. and now atop a banker has admitted that his profession was to blame for the financial crisis and the haldane of the bank of england said that fear is quote became a theological dog trainer and we started believing assumptions and saying things that made no intellectual sets now this is the latest salvo in the crisis blame game with both the state's the european union blasting each other over the world's

economic problems but i'll be back in fifty five minutes so i'm going to bring you one final when they get all right thanks very much about fifteen minutes the latest action from the olympics in london that's a course in our sport front of you shortly before the main stories are just started twenty six minutes past ten so that's coming up in four minutes from now.
