it's a nurse that president obama apparently authorized secret support for the syrian rebels in their violent drive to oust president asif. also a video was released which seemingly shows the execution of pro asad supporters by syrian rebel fighters a sign of a war often ignored by leading foreign media. from the beginning. from the u.s. from politicians and from. news commentary. that it was screaming. in the most brutal way. jonas on his mother talks exclusively to r.t. in ecuador as she meets the country's president to push for her son's asylum bed.

this is a live from moscow a marina josh welcome to the program president obama has apparently authorized covert support for the syrian rebels to help them oust president reports of a secret order allowing backing by the cia and other agencies follow washington's warning that the current fighting in syria will be and nail in assets coffin anti-war activists brian becker says america's strategy on syria has never been towards diplomacy. well the united states military and intelligence services are as we know now from the u.s. government admission coordinating through turkey through a u.s. military airbase these are all you know turkey is a nato country the military operations for this so-called free syrian army these 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 that the diplomacy of this so-called diplomacy the so-called looking for a negotiated settlement is a fraud that the diplomacy is in fact a form of perjury that the reality is that the u.s. government the obama administration with the pentagon and the cia. neck deep coordinating the military operations to overthrow a sovereign government in syria reports about america's covert support for the syrian rebels is likely to raise eyebrows at the meeting between president put an ad the prime minister of washington's closest ally great britain russia and the u.k. remain poles apart over the syrian issue as artie's laura smith now 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 leaders meetings also taking place as reports emerge that the u.k. is closest ally barack obama has signed a secret order authorizing the cia and other u.s. agencies to support the rebels fighting against president after the moves likely to cause outrage with russia but insists there should be no foreign intervention in the syria conflict or taking the last time cameron and person met the british leader claimed hussein 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.

right now if you think the camera never lies thanks again take a close look at this picture in an austrian newspaper now see how you can pare this to the original we report on the european to use digital deception in the syrian conflict. what is often ignored by leading foreign media when it comes to covering the syrian conflict are the brutal tactics employed by some armed rebel groups a horrific video has surfaced revealing the other side of this year in conflict the food which you're now seeing purports to show the cold blooded execution of assets by it so the rebels several man stripped some of the are close to being are soon being forced to move all in front of gunmen who is an open fire in journalist pepe escobar is done is over research into the images and says with incidents like this

there is no end in sight to the syrian crisis. i received this video as well from a source in arabica then i asked for its reservation this it was a very classy this is a very important planning norse and all it will and some of them there were executed in cold blood this is what this soon a half minute video shows in fact this is an extended when they have like twenty thousand brothers sisters the extended family clan tribe you know so this means that all these people each stand over 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 up because they know that if there is a false assad called by sunni hard core elements the including salafi jihad just this is what's going to happen they're going to be only protected minorities and at

the moment they are protected minority to some of the assad government. the syrian conflict has left hundreds of thousands of people displaced many heading for shelter across the borders into neighboring countries and often our reports even in the refugee camps politics overshadows basic human values. a conflict of contrast and contradictions freedom fighters with guns in their hands and that kind of support call 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 is being used as a breeding ground for hatred and division. plane refugees may have felt this cape through war but it seems the conflict has other plans for them the village of muslims out in the northern lebanon is known for being strongly opposed to both its home government and the syrian regime scene for much tension for years especially

after the death 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 a terrorist organization situated right on the syria lebanon border the border is over there it's where many syrians fleeing the cares at home cared 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 hold the future police and here's what has to be enough the remark from one family i know those here is rice crops. dry milk. the man in charge is a selfie a radical sunni group of hearing to fundamentalist islam and not tolerating moderate forms of the religion she colleague says anyone is welcome to relieve just

so long as they share in his one sided beliefs. we will not accept anybody who supports such a criminal or easy maybe i will try to talk to them but convince them not to be on the bad side if they accept your more than welcome if not last don't tell you. that this. no surprise therefore we didn't find a single a star supporter here newly arrived refugees most of whom are families with small children sleep on classroom floors and are giving 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 if i'm not in the military and if i have an opportunity to kill saddam with my bare hands i won't hesitate to. tell what's on the surface look like helpless refugees in an instant can turn into ardent

revolutionaries well i wish i'm with the free syrian army to fight against the sun no matter what will get him i 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 and back in his regime we all know them very well first sobs wife has problems like me i wish the kids i shopped into tiny pieces. these people at their most desperate to give in 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 n.t.'s sideline they will be the ready cool groups happy to feed them it's not only guns but a powerful in this war. from northern lebanon more updates on the situation in syria are available from r.t. on twitter while we are bringing you the firsthand experience of our crew on the ground as well as reactions and analysis and images to r.t.

other of the more calm. now anti-government activists have been arrested in the united arab emirates for awhile the authorities call a threat to the state security but human rights groups say the response is draconian political studies professor stephen zimmer as soon as the opposition movement is simply the public's desire for more input in their close kingdom. these are very the mess to get local activists through who are moderate islamists who want a greater sense of fairness and equity within society they are among three dozen dissidents who've been arrested in the past couple months some people sometimes to

jail not for calling for the overthrow of the government or anything are but simply who are allowing the partially elected advisory assembly to have a little more power than it does currently so it just seems like yet another sad chapter and the crackdown against any dissent in the under that authoritarian regime by and large remains a definitely of the far tearing regime if you stream repression against him and they could easily go so far and i guess work but most fundamentally no really going by the people themselves the move a little more of the mo office with the parties no moves for people to express their grievances a matter how rich you are. sooner or we're going to we want some input about the direction of our country now the front line of the government crackdown across the gulf is no bail or job one of the only activist has made his name known international studies professor of the jaipur shah believes activists like ridge op

should be praised. you have to really salute people like rajab who have been fighting in bahrain most of his life he is the head of the bahrain center for human rights a very important person in the u.a.e. there's a university of sharia law professor i am of yusuf. i mean people like this are to be applauded because there is the flag of democracy they raise the flag of reform in the region we have seen protests being crushed in these various emirates in saudi arabia recently the cleric nimer limit was beaten and arrested once more two people at least have been killed by reason of course the same thing is continuing and in u.a.e. over the last month about fifty people have been arrested about nine or ten just in the last couple of days but yes this is been a concerted crackdown by the u.a.e.

regime but they have been putting pressure on the political reformers who have been at work not since last year but since two thousand and three to create greet their reform greater democracy in the entirety of the united arab emirates. well coming up in the program the u.s. continues to twist iran's arms perfect timing the media storm system around the republican as washington turns its focus from iran to iran expecting it to be up for nine eleven along with al qaida and the taliban. investors across the globe sided with disappointment and start selling as the super mario draghi the head of the e.c.b. fails to impress with any kind of new measures to say the euro by the more and ten minutes. joined us on his mother his magic word or as leader as her

son pleads for asylum there president korea's sad to the decision won't be influenced by pressure from any country christina sounds talk to r t jury her visit telling us that u.s. politicians are still gunning for revenge over weekly leaks some even calling for her son's execution the full interview next hour but here's some of what to expect . from the beginning. from the us from politicians and from. the news coming. that he was screaming out his mood in the most brutal way this is to be. built up all of it would feel like. calling out for a little. insight. and still in the last few weeks this beautiful music is intended to get folks these pages the fallon who was screaming at julian's execution this is somebody who is number one and has done nothing more than any

good in this egregious was to get through this one very war. there was a lower and now has been held up and ecuador's embassy in london for over six weeks now the decision on a songes asylum request is expected in ten days he is wanted in sweden over sex crime allegations bob believes they are just a pretext to hand him over to the u.s. to face trial over the massive leak of secret files scott horton from harper's magazine says even if he gets asylum he won't be out of the woods. 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 a 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 saunas 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 and one time tomorrow and the australian government was we mark a bully 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 the attitude on the part of the australian government towards the united states has been seek to challenge the us over any issue well don't

out the judgments raising questions over how the country links justice with politics as guided she can now explain. the whole trial is considered a symbolic move nobody's actually hoping to collect those penalties you ran from lee 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 its 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 ruling

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 to work with the most recent ruling holding the grand responsible partly responsible for nine eleven one can argue there may never be any using the sanctions or sanctions even if you want to make a sentence on his nuclear program. alice take a look at some other stories from around the world spanish police have arrested three suspected al qaeda members who are planning an attack in new york all are believed to have been trained in pakistan before going to the russian republic of

answer i know that well the e.c.b. chief mario draghi was giving his comments on what's happening in europe and he was dubbed super mario one point when he promised to do whatever it takes within the mandate of the e.c.b. to save the euro well everyone was expecting to hear something from him as to what exactly will be the measures that he's going to introduce but he basically failed to provide any so what's going on right now is the markets are really dropping let's take a look at more detail what what mr mr druggy said now a he basically suggested that will the exchange rate would be point seven five percent that would not change and that the at the e.c.b. would still be ready to stand by and by our government bonds in case of emergency and would go ahead with open market operations. now if we just take a look at what's what's happening on the world markets you'll see you'll see

actually what's going on the russian market is. dropping right now are the odds yes and the my six are declining around two percent and one and a half percent this hour and this is of course on the back of these failed to impress comments by the e.c.b. ted. now let's move on to two stocks and hydro is gaining one point three percent rosneft is losing this hour one of the biggest losers this on the back of its surprise a loss in the second quarter traders dubbed. the last very bad the two hundred forty seven million dollars here followed the profits of three billion dollars in the first quarter blames a high tax bill as well as volatile well and ruble markets rose there let me remind you is the biggest oil company with a great presence of the government in its shareholder structure.

let's move on now russia is doing everything it can to hurry up and develop its arctic shelf and in order to do so providing new incentives will provide you with more information on the following program. and let's now move over to european markets as you can see mario drug after his comments everything changed from from quite positive to completely negative with the dax now dropping one point eight percent of course the fact is that investors basically heard everything that they expected to hear from mr druggy and there were no surprises that they were probably hoping for. and on the currency markets the euro was a gaining you have to leave it just an hour ago and now it's dropping as you can see there forty three points versus the dollar the russian ruble is dropping have

to live against as you can see the dollar because treasuries have been lifted as a result of this sell off on the market now staying with currencies is that time of the year when the economist releases a big mac index basically comparing the value of currencies in different countries by saying just how much calculating how much that these currencies can buy hamburgers in that specific country has reports from. this is one of the most of the mcdonald's of all rights in the heart of moscow a big mike here was such a back about suit dollars and twenty nine cents that you can that's expensive then you probably live in hong kong because that is the only country where big mac is cheaper than the us most of the money over the. kernel tastes the same and i know from experience what in the us well you would pay for returns of more than. a dollar. you.

know if you love your big macs and are on their part to finish up and stay away from countries like norway switzerland and brazil as well to tackle countries that are considered more exotic like time and south africa but don't just take my word for it let's take a look at the charts in detail this year the big macindex looks at changes since the global money market seized up in the summer of two thousand and seven the economist assumes that production costs are equal overall that means it's possible to measure the purchasing power of world currencies in reference to the dollar according to the price of big macs you can see there that the ruble one from being undervalued one percent to about fifty percent products was born again straw in the heart conclusions from this index because it is based on the theory of purchasing power parity which says that extreme rates of moves at the point of

a basket of goods is the same in each country but as we all know of course with the low wages around for countries that varies why says so it's like this where a grain of salt and during a big mac. i know i'll be doing that and don't think too much about it. so there's your answer some people are enjoying the hamburgers while others are really seeing stocks plummet all across the globe all right imagery well i guess to reconcile all of us let's have a cup of tea thanks very much indeed for the sub date and looking forward to more next hour now from money to music in just a few minutes as we talk to future of jass one of the xan wrists grammy winning musician.
