when the syrian people desperately need action. there continues to be finger pointing and name calling in the security council kofi annan and quick says the international mediators for syria blaming deep divisions at the u.n. and potentially slowing peace efforts into a tailspin russia calls a man's resignation regrettable. meanwhile it so much that president obama apparently authorized covert support for the syrian rebels in their violent uprising just as russia and america's closest ally britain try to bridge divisions over the crisis plus. they were screaming it is. the most brutal my julian assange and his mother says the u.s. threatens this exclusive r.t.

interview in ecuador where she met the country's president as part of the whistleblowers asylum played. a very good evening thanks for being with r.t. from moscow it's kevin owen here with you this with our top story at ten pm kofi annan is standing down from his role as syria envoy blaming finger pointing and name calling at the u.n. security council and iran's been the key figure in the international hopes to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the crisis in the stricken country let's get live comment now from our new york correspondent necessary on a sissy hi how does a man explain his decision to resign asunder the last few hours bring us up to date . kevin kofi annan the u.n. special envoy to syria is in fact resigning officially this resignation will be

finalized at the end of the month on august thirty first when his mandate expires we have to remember of course that the nobel peace prize laureate was recruited by the moon u.n. secretary general around six months ago to join a. team of countries working in trying to resolve this conflict and the united nations to be the key meditator in solving attempting to solve the syrian crisis but because of the intricacies of the cause of the conflict itself unraveling on the ground for the last seventeen months as well as the conflicting positions of members of the united nations security council u.n. experts have been dubbing his role in this whole crisis as a diplomatic mission impossible take a listen to what kofi annan has to say about his resignation and. the increasing militarization on the ground and the clear lack of unity in the security council have fundamentally changed the circumstances for the effective. of my rule to turn

when we need when the syrian people dispiritedly need action there continues to be finger pointing and name calling in the security council. and coffee an envoy kofi annan is words are really showing to be true because we're already hearing from the united states saying that his resignation his departure from the post underlines it turns out russia's and china's failure to participate appropriately in supporting the syria action but the gist of the story here is kevin basically russia we have heard from russia say that look all of the countries signed up for trying to make sure that both sides of the of the conflicts sit down for talks and negotiations but in reality behind closed doors russia has been so it has been said that behind closed doors it's important to just not pretend and say

this on paper but also make sure you're not supporting any specific side of the conflict and we have seen developments of that sort take place in the syrian crisis and this is something that russia has been saying is an unacceptable and getting in the way of solving the conflicts take a listen to what the russian ambassador to the russian ambassador to the u.n. had to say earlier today unfortunately i think one of the reasons that mr honest efforts have encountered so many difficulties is that his appeal for no further militarization of the conflict which it started out with as he came in first here to new york was not really heeded by a number of influential members of the international community so we have another strange situation i would some countries who are like talking expressing their regret about while and even in syria a lot of the same time those countries are providing weapons almost openly to the

armed opposition groups. well kofi annan leaves behind a six six point peace plan and we do know already that bonn ki-moon is already in negotiations with the arab league trying to find a successor for non we do not know yet who that person is going to be and we will have to wait and see whether this this new negotiations will stick with a nonce plan or find something completely different we do know that many experts have dubbed the plan and realistic and saying that that's why didn't work out but for the for the month kofi annan will be around and we have heard from leaders say that they hope this month will be productive in his work still but we do know of course that many have expressed regret including the russian president vladimir putin. the french who produce the view there from new york appreciated when i spoke bit earlier to journalist neil clark he believes western nations never but kofi annan peace plan and this solely to blame for the ongoing bloodshed. his work

tirelessly trying to bring peace to syria but unfortunately being undermined every step of the way by the western powers basically don't want to see a peaceful solution to this crisis we can't really understand what's going on until we realize that that russia and china will do so if you think back to point one of his plan was that there would be a syrian led solution to this crisis is one of the west internet they've been backing rebels all the way along this of this of the us and it's our rights because they're the ones stoke the fires you know we had a vote back to separate what democratic constitution syria eight percent serious folks yes do to free elections that were elections so there is a framework to solve this peacefully we don't need violence it is no reason but of course america wants a violent regime change all they care about is to present a sad that's what's causing the bloodshed so let's make no mistake about this the responsibility for that much and that's going on now the tragic lies with the u.s. and its allies before nine announced he was quitting that of most of us president

barack obama apparently authorized covert support for the syrian rebels to help the most president assad reports of a secret order allowing the cia and other agencies to give back and follow washington's warning that the current fighting in syria will be a nail in assad's coffin the syria issue came into focus at a meeting between president putin and the prime minister of washington's closest ally great britain to follow that side of the story today laura smith in london. it was quite important that this came to light about obama having starting this authorized secret kind of cia an agency support for the rebels who are trying to oust president assad in syria that came to light just before the meeting between christian and cameron it won't make that meeting any easier tool of course what obama's also represents is foreign intervention in syria and it is taking sides in syria and those are two things that president putin as we know is very manly

opposed to of course the u.k. and russia really represents the polar opposite in the two sides of this argument and of course this is not the only issue upon which russia and britain are poles apart but it is certainly the most important issue at the moment and we understand in fact that as it's two other issues that british relations have had in the past this is now hampering economic relations with the chip between the two countries which might go some way towards solving the problem because as we all know money talks in a way that politics potentially doesn't and of course with these opposing views it is a worry that diplomacy as a part of solving the syria conflict may be slowly dying as this process takes place and right now there are two dot com if you think the camera never lies do think again we invite you to take a look a close look at this picture from an austrian newspaper see how it compares to the original we report on the european media's digital deception of the syrian conflict

. and what's often ignored by leading forward media when it comes to covering the syrian conflict or the brutal tactics employed by some rebel groups and a video surfaced revealing the other side of the syrian conflict now the footage about a sunni screen so it is purports to show the cold blooded execution of assad supporters by syrian rebels several men stripped to the. some of their clothes and bleeding seemed to forced to kneel by a wall in front of government and then opened fire jenna's probably ask about his own research into these images and says with incidents like this there's no end in sight to the syrian crisis and feeds. i received this video as well from a source in arabica then i asked for answers lation this it was a very clan this is a very important plan in the us and all it will and some of them there were executed in cold blood this is what this. minute video shows in fact this is an

extended clan they have like to wait six hours and brothers sisters the extended family clan tribe you know so this means that all these people each stand 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 because they know if there is a falls a subcultural by sunni hard core elements the including salafi jihad just this is what's going to happen they're going to be protected minorities and at the moment they are protected minority to some of the assad government. the syrian conflicts left hundreds of thousands of people displaced many heading for shelter across the borders into neighboring countries but without his reflection reports even in the refugee camps politics overshadows basic human rights. a conflict of contrast and contradictions freedom fighters with guns in their hands

and a 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 had a 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 will look to the swords of the muslim brotherhood so that you have plenty of hears what has to be enough for a month for one family in 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 their more than welcome if not the last time to leave a 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 by giving just basic creations but empty stomachs are only helping to nourish and sentiments and i've been in the middle of this will help but 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. to what's on the surface look like helpless refugees in an instant can turn into ardent revolutionaries. i wish i'm with the free syrian army to fight against assad no matter what 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 first son's wife who's from homs like me i wish her kids i 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 with 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 graves notion r.t. from northern lebanon. well more updates on the situation in syria available from r t on twitter as well if you've been them following the featured nova bring you first hand experience from our crew on the ground as they see it as well as reaction analysis and images some of them sadly of course disturbing it's a party underscore called. for. doing a songes mother could always leaders her son pleads for asylum there president career

said the decision will be influenced by pressure from any other country christina sanch talked to r.t. as well during a visit telling us that u.s. politicians are still gunning for revenge over wiki leaks some even calling for her son's execution now the full interview on air on this channel later this hour in about fifteen minutes in fact here's some of what you can expect. from the beginning. from the u.s. from politicians and from. news commentary. they were screaming at his leader in the most brutal way. this into the filter on how they were feeling. calling out for goofus a major inciting me against my son and still in the last few weeks. there's been a fox is this intemperate because fox these who hate the palin who was screaming at killing six occasion this is somebody who is not right or wrong and it's done

nothing more than any good in this egregious would do is to be interested in what is my doing and what will. melissa blow's been holed up in ecuador's embassy in london for over six weeks now and the decision about his sound is a sudden request expected to come out within ten days he's wanted just to recap in sweden over sex crime allegations but he believes they are just a pretext to hand him over to the u.s. to face trial over the massive leak of secret files i spoke to scott horton he's from harper's magazine he told me even if this does get asylum it will be out of the woods. 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 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 julian the songs may be gassed 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 time 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 seek to challenge the u.s.

over any issue this is coming up in the program the u.s. continues to twist around perfect timing for a media storm surround the republic as washington turns its. expecting it to pay for the nine eleven. long with and the. markets across the globe continue to plummet as the so-called super mario drug fails to impress investors with the kind of new measures to salvage the euro join me in ten minutes time i'll tell you. spanish police have arrested three suspected al qaeda members who are planning an attack in europe two of the men lived in russia's chechen republic during a wave of terror attacks while the other man is of turkish descent all of belief had been trying to. the story the police in spain have arrested three suspected members who they say had amassed explosives and were plotting up in europe that's according to the spanish interior ministry of the also said they found enough

explosives to quote destroy boss and he also said that these three men had received training in camps in places like afghanistan and pakistan now one of the men was arrested on his own they say that he is from turkey and that he's considered the facilitator in this group of the two other men were arrested together while they were planning to make their way to france and these two men were said to have lived in chechnya and as we know is part of russia's volatile region of the north caucasus which over the years have seen the waves of violent attacks now well cording to officials these attacks and have had the links to al qaida and the men would masterminded them and also received training in places like afghanistan and pakistan and we know for example one of the a chechen militants. one of russia's most wanted man he had also been put on the united states list of the most wanted terrorist in the past russia and the u.s. of issued this statement a several times a day agreed to further cooperate in fighting al qaeda and the threats of global

terrorism now as far as europe is concerned they've been on high alert for some time now ever since the attacks of nine eleven attacks in the united states. spain in particular has arrested dozens of suspected al qaeda members over the years and even more so after the two thousand and four train bombing in madrid now they say that the three man be arrested today had been under monitoring a by the authorities for some time now and we can see that and we can expect that authorities here in europe will definitely be an even higher alert after the arrests that were made it today more world news for this family sworn in its first government since hosni mubarak the new cabinet is designed to allay fears of domination by the muslim brotherhood whose leader was elected president and you are also going to technocrats but the military remains in some key roles something which led to months of violent public protests in egypt with many people still furious over the power grip. of state hillary clinton is in uganda's capital of

part of africa of course uganda currently battling an outbreak of the deadly ebola virus which is so far killed sixteen people nationwide u.s. officials admit the seven nation visit is largely to push to prevent china's growing influence in the continent as they put it clinton's next stop is south sudan whose vast oil industry depends heavily on chinese investment. updating you on that slow moving typhoon has been sweeping through asia it's now hit taiwan and it's left seven people dead in its wake surveillance video shows one man tragically fall to his death when a road collapsed burying him in rubble drenching rains flooded low lying areas paralyzing the main international airport and railway network earlier this week the typhoon killed twenty three in the philippines. u.s. congress has approved new sanctions against iran targeting the country's energy sector it coincided with a federal judge ordering to run to pay part of a six billion dollars compensation package for supposedly aiding the nine eleven

attacks along with al qaeda the taliban and hezbollah since it's certain no one's actually going to pay up the judgments raising questions than over the country links justice with politics as going to it you can explains now. 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 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 diplomacy and negotiations to work with the most recent ruling holding the brand of responsible partly responsible for nine eleven one can argue there may never be any easing of conditions or sanctions even if iran makes all concessions on its nuclear program. much of the business now dimitri's there lots of disappointment coming today of course from super mario the e.c.b. chief not a lot of information in fact that's what caused the problem that's right apparently is not being able to back his words with actions at the moment see once promised to

do everything to save the euro but apparently at today's monthly address mario draghi did not provide any specifics as to which measures will be used to save the currency but i'm going to campbell from our london capital group says that this is because the e.c.b. basically lacks the tools to do so. the most important thing about the e.c.b. and its current mandate is that it does not have the same sort of powers of other central banks like the federal reserve or the bank of england it is very restricted in what it can do it hasn't specifically got the power to really do full blown quantitative easing and it's the germany the paymaster of europe who are really trying to drive home that the e.c. be must not step outside its mandate so without those sort of powers there is not

much they can do beyond as i say what they've already done this is this isn't enough for the market. and let's take a look at the market reaction now towards what's happened in frankfurt well jones the down more than one percent since pretty much says it all is that i mean investors are totally disappointed with the fact that there haven't been any measures announced and it seems that this crisis is not being resolved yet to any extent also factory orders the u.s. came in with a with a decline of half a percent so that's also holding investors the dax as you can see they're down more than two percent in europe investors really want to hear something concrete as to you know new measures being adopted to stall the debt crisis not just words. over on the currencies market the giro was gaining one hundred seventeen points i mean

they could have been gaining more i haven't checked that but that was the the biggest number i've seen at least today but it's now declining sixty three points versus the greenback so very much is depressing for the a european currency and the russian ruble in line with the global trend as you can see there it's stronger versus the week of versus the dollar over on the russian markets everything was looking very well on the high oil prices today but then super mario came out with no decision and therefore everything when topsy turvy and dow. among the interesting stocks actually a positive move was a rose by joe reporting avodart declining thirty seven percent but apparently investors which is something even worse so this was accepted as a positive sign and ross telecom up one percent on the back of the deal being mauled with the sweden's tally two on asset swaps or merger they have diversified

the details yet but looks looks positive ross now down two and a half percent largest oil drilling in the russia. reporting a very surprised. result for the second quarter it was a loss. traders have dubbed this loss a very very bad two hundred forty seven million dollars as opposed to a profit of three billion in the first quarter that has blamed high taxes as well as volatile oil and ruble markets. also russia to hurry up the development of its resources rich shelf prime minister medvedev has said that by twenty first see by twenty thirty sorry its gas output should be quadrupled while the oil production should increase five fold and that of also pointed out that the shelf development is currently constrained by lack of infrastructure and financing calling for boosting public private partnerships that. so i have forgiven tonight already. now
