america's proxy war in syria u.s. intelligence has reportedly been given a big go ahead from president obama to bomb the rebels and their violent drive to overthrow the assad regime. a wave of states the pressure rolls over rising social movements in the gulf the latest victims being nine accidents arrested in the united arab emirates. they were the privileged in the apartheid era but many south african whites and our public are jobless feeling the effects of what they say is revised discrimination.

international news and comment life from moscow this is all she with me. thanks for joining us the cia and other u.s. agencies are reportedly assisting syrian rebels in that bid to the assad regime with the secret direct approval of president obama washington has been previously open about providing beyond groups and gangs with non-lethal support worth millions of dollars its international allies are thought to have gone so far with rebels apparently receiving high tech weapons via turkey including surface to air missiles and antiwar activists brian back i says america strategy on syria has never been towards diplomacy for a. while the united states military and intelligence services are as we know now from the u.s. government a mission coordinating through turkey through u.s. military air base these are all you know turkey is a nato country the military operations for this so-called. free syrian army the

syrian so-called revolutionaries and it's clear now that this is not a shift in terms of u.s. strategy it doesn't represent any kind of alteration all that it does is reveal the plumber c. of the so-called diplomacy the so-called looking for a negotiated settlement is a fraud that the diplomacy is in fact the form of perjury but the reality is that the u.s. government the obama administration with the pentagon and the cia have been. coordinating the military operations to overthrow a sovereign government in syria. the u.s. says it's registering about three hundred displaced families in syria each day a swelling refugee influx is saying more crimes are being sucked up across the country's border where if a notion travels to one of them are says even that politics prevails of a simple human in. a conflict of contrast and contradictions in fighters with guns in their hands and the support calls for jihad those claiming

to want to stop the violence in the country continue providing the warring sides with more weapons and now a supposedly peaceful humanitarian mission it's been used as a breeding ground for hatred and division clean refugees may have felt they skate through war but it seems the conflict has other plans for them the business of muslims out in the northern lebanon is known for being strongly opposed to both its own government and the syrian regime seen for much tension for years especially after the day in custody of a local man accused of being part of al qaida today it's home to many islamic organizations and many are still believed to have ties with the terrorist organization to it it's right on the syria lebanon border the border is over there it's where many syrians fleeing the castle so hard for comparatively safe haven one which provides shelter for some but by no means all. a group of islamic n.g.o.s is

called in eighteen the humanitarian mission here their mercy carries a subtle message the boxes bear would look to the swords of the muslim brotherhood for the we have quite a few years what has to be enough for a month for one family and those here is rice crops. dry milk the man in charge is a selfie a radical sunni group has hearing to fundamentalist islam and not tolerating moderate forms of the religion she colleague says anyone is welcome to relief just so long as they share in his one sided beliefs. we will not accept anybody who supports such a criminal regime maybe we will try to talk to them and convince them not to be on the bad side if they accept there are more than welcome if not we'll ask them to leave the village. no surprise therefore we didn't find a single assad supporter here newly arrived refugees most of whom are families with

small children sleep on classroom floors and a given just basic creations but empty stomachs are only helping to nourish and sentiments eloquent in the middle additional hope that i would join the free syrian army if only i had a chance but they don't need me i'm not in the military and if i have an opportunity to kill assad with my bare hands i won't hesitate. what on the surface look like helpless refugees in an instant can turn into ardent revolutionaries situation is very bad in syria shelling killing dead bodies on the streets but i left only because of my children i wish i'm with the free syrian army to fight against assad no matter what i will get him will not accept him to leave the country will see cutthroats and all terrible things and when we finish with him we'll go and take those back in his regime we all know them very well as the woman sounds so determined for our own safety we tell her we are from canada well our

first son's wife who's from homs like me i wish my kids chopped into tiny pieces. these people at their most desperate are given the helping hand that they need and it's one that will always be there although we strings attached as long as people are happy to tell you the entier sideline they will be really cool groups happy to feed them it's not only guns that are powerful in this war grief notion r.t. from northern lebanon. and to talk more on syria i'm now joined live by asia times online correspondent pepper ask of our but ask of our it's great to have you with us so reports have surfaced that the cia's backing this syrian rebels drive against the regime what kind of assistance is the u.s. said to be providing. look at even fisherman in fiji new and.

older ground this is absurd this ain't delage and finding signed by obama that's the name called for a secret order this was signed early this year to six months ago so the fact that writers has only been allowed now to report about it through step you know there was high the liberations in washington ok should we let people know about what they already know that the fact that washington post two weeks of school had already recorded about that in effect when the cia wants to leak some seen us they usually go to the washington post and if they have a endemol saat only ground working side by side with the qataris the turks this saudi arabia and of course this sort of jihad this curving from everywhere but especially across the border from iraq if everybody knew about this for months so the picture that the wash it away to project that they are leading from behind know

they're leading the front lines are long side outside our style jihad this qatari intelligence. turkish logistics they are from the just sore all these operations ends at what they are betting not that's the most important thing is only a weakened syrian government in damascus six darrien war all over the place and if you're just watch archy reports this is it the first impression this is it or is now all over please go back of the i guess d'ya think it's illegal and in accordance with international knew. the tactic of waging proxy war the one the us has been using frequently ever everything. yeah but look there's a there's no semblance of for international law since what was decided in libya last year. in fact. and the war dean of the un resolution one

thousand seven hundred three also rising war against a no fly zone was actually war against the bill last year and the international as we know it nation states the old manor anymore we already knew that in terms of financial capitalism now we have learned that in terms of international law protection nation states want to juggle a tickle level this is gone this is over now and if you are neal colonial power like britain and france or an empire like the us you can trample all nations as sovereignty anywhere in anyhow any plates and this is a second what's happening and that's why russia has been through it trying to start because moscow sees that as the end of the the sovereignty of the nation states. i think here has south recently which is an alleged the execution of a silent supporters by syrian rebels it's hard to verify the footage but how often

do you think you have such a incidence and been happening in the conflict and why do we see reports about it so ranny. all the time in fact i received this video as well from a source in arabica that then i asked for answers lation this it was a very clan this is a very important cleansing nourse and i liberal and some of them they were executed in cold blood this is what this tool and a half minutes video shows in fact this is an extended clan they have like two eighty thousand brothers sisters the extended family clan tribe you know so this means that all these people estatic of being recruited to the opposition now they will be fighting the opposition because they are being executed in cold lot and this explains among other things why christians all over syria now are taking up arms to defend themselves go because they know it is. there is a falls a sad controlled by sunni hard core elements including softy jihad just this is

what's going to happen to going to be only protected minorities and at the moment they are protected minority to some of the assad government and the kurds they were very clever they broke a deal with the assad government they're not going to interfere in the war in northeast syria kurdish territory now they are neutral so this means that they knew if they sided with the opposition leader or own they would get a very rough deal and if they went against assad and assad would prevail they will also get a raw deal so date now they are moral less aid to act in their air and they are protected but most of them live in the north east of syria which is very remote the problem is mixed populations like aleppo big in big center two and a half million people are christians alawite sect sunni even some kurds they all live together and now the bechdel of aleppo how is that the way to use development could become an extended lebanon in the seventy's it's that lebanese ition of whole track so who norse and syria in fact and this by the way is there israeli strategy

israel wants lebanon ised and so my allies like the deal somalia libya a very weak good three weeks sic tarion strife all over the place with an overextended army and off course not us against israel so this means an opening the way for an israeli attack against iran we didn't execute months or perhaps two thousand and thirteen all right pepe escobar correspondent for the asia times online at the thank you very much and thank you. and for more our days on the syrian crisis check out our she's twitter feed the links to fast hundred pours direct from the war zone analysis and images are also lined out the that and they sat on t.v. underscore called. syria

will also be in their sides during president putin's brief visit to london russia and britain are poles apart over how to resolve the drawn out conflict as a mess explains. it's unlikely to be an easy meeting prime minister cameron will reportedly use this opportunity to press president putin again over ending violence in syria the two countries have taken opposing views over the conflict britons calling for the removal of president assad and un sanctions on syria while russia maintains talks are the only way the last time cameron and putin met the british leader claims putin had changed his stance on syria and had explicitly called for president assad to go it might have been wishful thinking or lost in translation but either way russia denied that was the case causing embarrassment to cameron

since then britain's described russia's veto of the u.n. resolution on syria as inexcusable and indefensible that may cause some awkwardness but the syria questions just the latest rift in a relationship that hit the rocks in two thousand and six over the death in london of former russian security officer alexander litvinenko the british authorities have repeatedly requested the extradition of their chief suspect andrey lugovoy but the russian constitution doesn't allow it in turn russia wants britain to hand over convicted embezzler bodies. and suspected chechen terrorists akhmed zakayev also refused despite political differences business ties have always remained pretty good and cameron and putin are expected to find common ground in efforts to boost trade to lighten the mood of the two leaders will reportedly go together to the final of the judo competition putin of course is famously a former competitor and

a big family. this is still ahead for you this hour they did it again as the judge ruled ryan and hezbollah along with notorious terrorist groups including al qaida must pay six billion dollars for the nine eleven attack report and why the decision could be an echo from america's military. and julian assange whose mother speaks up for her son personally urging the ecuadorian president to agree to the whistleblowers asylum fully. nine anti-government activists have been arrested in the united arab emirates in the last two days of forces aren't there are cracking down on political dissent saying foreign linked groups are threaten the state security and political studies professor stephen zunes however thousands just suppression of a rising internal social movement. local

he denies any such accusations has blogged the same moral was soon after nine eleven has been laws leader described as quote an entity trapped in medieval ages and bent on killing innocent muslims so they're not exactly best friends and the nine eleven commission back in the day also stated that quote we have found no evidence that iran or hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the nine eleven attack and of quote but the fact that now the u.s. justice system holds iran partly responsible for nine eleven is most interesting both in terms of timing and historical context back in two thousand and three as the u.s. waged war against iraq another u.s. federal judge ruled that iraq must pay for nine eleven attacks very similar rulings so have you have this clear flashback when you look at the headlines from may two thousand and three course the allegations that saddam hussein was doing business with al qaida proved to be bogus but that didn't matter at the time having solid

evidence didn't matter at the time tensions skyrocketed on false grounds with regards to iran the timing is of importance as far as its nuclear program the obama administration says they want to flow mysie and to go she has to work combined with the most recent ruling holding the grand responsible partly responsible for nine eleven one can argue there may never be any easing of tensions or sanctions even if you're right makes all concessions on its nuclear program. jitteriness is not that has met the president of ecuador to plead for has sounds cause as the whistleblower waits for the south american country to decide on his asylum plea chorale has a show that christina sounds his country's family considering their request he has reiterated that the decision won't be influenced by pressure from the u.k. sweden or the u.s. still hold the success of the sex assault on occasions but he fears he will and out in the u.s. to face trial of

a massive leak of secret files how have i getting asylum alone won't save him from prosecution straight away says scott horton from harvesting like a scene. to me it's hard to understand how the ecuadorians are going to play this but 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 it only 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 doing the song may be a guest 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 one town tomorrow 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. whites once reigned supreme when they detested apartheid era in south africa overturned by the arrival of black majority rule in the night and ninety's those who were previously that privilege claim that there instead suffering a revised discrimination policy investigates once the color of all to start and skin was the key to the good life here and now it is merely part of another forgotten face of the new south africa white homeless and unemployed. feels like

afrikaans beacon south africans employment subsidized housing education jobs and state benefits it left the black population out in the cold there used to be a big clause created by the system in south africa and that created in the since sorry fire even for people since one thousand nine hundred four the new government has carried out policies aimed at favoring black employees in a bid to do away with the imbalance of the past what this means is that white people are often overlooked when applying for jobs college bursaries and public positions in this brave but often unsettling new south africa there are many who feel washed up and unwanted forty year old irene funny has lived here with her husband and four children for six years she suffers from the pain of arthritis which makes it difficult for her to walk she calls the government's well meaning policies little short of reverse racism and many many many many.
