this is r t tonight fresh rebel calls for a no fly zone over syria where the u.s. where again with its support but reports of the opposition's alleged atrocities are making many activists turn their backs now. egypt says when mr president moves to assert his power over the military as he sat exposed the defense minister and the chief of staff amid a growing militant presence a sign. on the wiki leaks website covers of the cyber attack us hackers claim they want to stop julian assange through finding refuge in f. would.

bring it even to you from moscow it's eleven pm here now my name is kevin irwin you're watching r.t. our top story the syrian opposition is rich rated this calls for a no fly zone in the country although still reluctant to get directly involved the u.s. has previously voiced support for the move even if it means bypassing the un washington and its allies have pledged also more backing for fighters in other developments syrian rebels say the shot the government warplane in captured the pilot activists released a video showing a fighter jet catching fire although it was apparently hit by ground shelling but state officials insist it crashed because of technical failure meantime alleged rebel atrocities are forcing more syrian activists to renounce the opposition it's claimed this amateur footage but to see now there it is shows insurgents throwing the bodies of public sector workers from a rooftop in aleppo now a key flashpoint in the conflict the head of one independent media outlet in syria told me he's surprised the rebels are pleading for foreign action if they have as much populous. port as they say they do. when anybody talks about an all fly zone

they are talking about a regional war they know quite well that the syrian army will not allow any foreign power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and any attempt to create a safe zone or north fly zone will be on the tour by war and any war between syria and turkey or syria and any need to a nation will turn into a large regional war in syria is a part of a huge alliance and for instance the iranians just last week made it clear that if any foreign power tries to interfere in syria they would not just watch their strongest ally for seven workers are being attacked i've seen rebels kill people in the streets lot of them with knives and then miss clinton comes and gives them money they lost in the massacres they are losing in any poll and as usual when ever the they find themselves in a pickle like this they call for foreign intervention and if they claim that they have popular support as they have been saying for seventeen months why do they need

foreign intervention. or some of those backing the opposition are often aware of exactly what's going on in the can but he's got to teach it can shed some light on the darker side of the rebellion. ever thought about adopting someone why not a syrian rebel as this headline says for just one dollar a day you too can help a syrian rebel oust president assad these days you have a good number of organizations which present themselves basically as charities where you can make a donation to the rebels in syria this is the website of one of the rebel groups there saying among other things they are seeking military equipment then there is another organization which collects donations based here in washington and supported by the u.s. government they're called syrian support group we try to reach out to them and ask how they plan to distribute that money we never heard from them another website one called adopt a revolution they also present themselves as a charity but it's organizer admitted that it's hard to see where the money goes as

far as who the donors are he said they range from corporations to retired couples and students possibly those mentioned retired couples who've seen videos like this one where the rebels singing a backstreet boys song oh it was only. in line oh but what the pitch for donors does not say is that not all rebel fighters are some romantic backstreet boys fans probably not these ones and this footage shows an apparent mass execution of all sorts supporters by the rebels in cold blood. reports on the ground show that very six treatments groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's not to say that all of them are all either it's a full blown civil war where the degree of hatred is so high that people commit atrocities

on all fronts i spoke with one of america's leading experts on counterterrorism and he told me the bloodshed will be even harder to stop as more outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question vs a whole. it's a question of saudi arabia versus iran and it's a question of turkey's increasing role in the middle east all these things make this more and more complicated and make it less and less likely there we're going to have a peaceful resolution instead we're going to have a winner take all solution one could say the danger is in simplifying things putting them black and white supporting people who kill can be called anything but charity in washington i'm going to check on. well we've more on the crisis in today's interview too when we hear from dr abdul aziz spent fourteen is a political prisoner in syria he says that a peaceful struggle is the only way to build a democratic future now. day after day very number one and the only group

in the opposition are becoming more and more hostages in the hands of their allies. we are losing. independent decision and they can apply what they think or believe and everybody must corporate. to congress the military groups first of all the regime second round groups of oprah's show that it's time it's high time indeed to come to a cease fire and to start negotiations about what to do and how to arrange some peaceful future. and if you not call it already very see the full interview with the former syrian opposition leader in just over an hour's time again here on r.t.

tonight still to come before that the dream turned sour because the team used to struggle to recession many turks and now against their country jordan new despite a long one push for membership previously we'll update you on why that is and we also look at how people in one small asian country suffer injury even death to provide the rest of the world with top high street. egypt's president is take this most decisive step yet to assert power over the influential military he said two top generals they were the defense minister who served as the country's interim leader after hosni mubarak was ousted as well as the chief of staff after the announcement president morsy supporters took the revolution retirees square in cairo to celebrate many see it as a sign of reform and progress morsi started to move more boldly against the army after an attack by militants in sinai lives killed sixteen people who guard the security presence there now has been increased with the president vowing to restore order asia times correspondent pappy escobar told me he believes

a new coup though could be on the cards. we should expect some say to happen not immediately in terms of a counter cool by scott because digital they're still there even if they are prerogatives in terms of that constitutional amendment which transfer of powers from the presidents to them no more civil why did that completely de may have some cards to play in though for a get very good relationship with the pentagon i'm sure a lot of people in washington are horrified about the morsi move and they really are these are areas are really freaking out with morsi more because now they say that he has become an islamic dictatorship so there could be some counter coupes from foreign actors as well basically from the muslim brotherhood point of view they don't want any more frictions between scaf and the press there so we can say that for the moment this koreas muslim brotherhood one skaf zero the problem is the

military even if it is reliant now or rearrange the counter almost forty percent of the egyptian economy egypt is has no money i'm betting in the long run that date will last egypt cool apps in terms of being practically defaulting and then maybe later do rearrange another egyptian military coup and go back to power egypt's neighbor israel meantime as we've been hearing there from peppe is concerned about keeping its borders secure a made regional instability with billions going into defense with a militant presence growing in sinai and winning its way into the ranks of syrian rebels israel feeling isolated right now amid hostile neighbors reports about. as a result of the arab revolutions israel now finds itself surrounded by rivals starting with egypt you have a situation in the northern sinai peninsula that last week saw the egyptian air force being employed for the first time israelis are concerned that you have

a kind of jihad is operating there they're also concerned that they're not going to see the same kind of willingness for cooperation from the new egyptian president mohamed morsi who comes from the muslim brotherhood that you saw in the past between his predecessor of course the mubarak and tel aviv as far as the situation in syria goes the ongoing violence has israelis concerned that should if the charter side is toppled he could be replaced by al qaida the violence hasn't extended to get to the golan heights but certainly israelis are concerned about the toppling of a same troll control from within damascus they're also concerned that you could have chemical weapons falling into the hands of extremist elements in addition to this you have a massive control in the gaza strip you have hizbollah operating from levanon all of this coming on top of an already volatile but dormant situation here is that the the israelis and the palestinians so certainly tel aviv is viewing with growing

concern the volatile situation on its borders afraid that in a moment it could flare up of course here tel aviv party. site wiki leaks has moved online now its web pages been the victim of a major denial of service attack over the past week which is lifted sluggish or accessible a group calling itself and two leagues has claimed is behind the assault it says it's concerned about julian assange just attempts to gain political soliman ecuador support the leader of u.k.'s power a party you believe there's a hidden hand behind the attack. but we can certainly see that there is a concerted attempt to interfere with the whistle blowing site at the moment it is appears to be the most concerned attack and denial of service attack on wiki leaks for some time now and indeed as we said in the records of this group and he leaks it's claimed responsibility and put at some quiet in. the wiki leaks.

in some kind of united states involved though certainly. the amount of traffic seems to amount to possibly thousands of machines now difficult to assess in any of the claims it would actually seem unlikely to groups like antiques a new group we able to mount such a sustained attack but nevertheless it's not impossible also it is in fact possible to do this with fewer than a thousand machines but that would take some. or some organization behind. news in brief now a developing story a number of people reportedly been injured after a shooting in the us a and m. university in houston texas the government was reporting using automatic weapons and was firing from a house these are the latest live pictures we're getting through the new center

placer of on those injured well there's no information of any fake teletubbies as such but we has been taken into custody warnings been issued advising people to avoid the area it's in the actual universities in the city college station if you look at the map that's between hoost and dallas in texas there so as to say we're hearing at the moment the alleged shooter has been taken into custody no confirmed fatalities these are the latest pictures not seeing an awful lot there at the moment we'll keep an eye on them if we get anything more to show you we'll update you of course more world news now police in norway could have done more to reduce the number of people killed by anders breivik last year that's according to the official report which blames offices for taking too long to reach a toy or island brother could miss it killing seventy seven people mostly teenagers in twin attacks there a verdict we delivered next week the decision will determine whether we sent to prison or indeed to a psychiatric facility. occupy hong kong protesters have been ordered to leave the

camp that's been set up near the headquarters of h.s.b.c. bank. which gives them two weeks now to get out says the empty capitalism protesters of misusing public space all this came amid criticism the tent town attracted vagrants and the homeless inspired by the popular occupy wall street movement hong kong's protesters took to the streets last october and at their height hundreds of activists living at the bank. if you saw it last night i did it was super you have to say london's olympic summer spectacle the end show has come to an end with a star studded closing ceremony many of britain's most popular artists performed at the event with some across the generations cheered on when they just bought stadium while the international athletes poured into the center of the release of former the union jack. a flag is very clever the band was then handed over to rio next the next summer olympic host because the next winter games due to be staged here in russia are in the russian city of sochi lot of work going into that you can watch our sports policy later that day if you like to know more about the medals one of

the recordset actually in action. the other side to our business desk has more on the financial trappings of sporting glory in the event. russia turned out to be the most generous country in terms of its prize money awarding its sportsman with seven million dollars china only accept the gold paying nothing for the silver and bronze and the u.k. traditionally does not provide any financial stimulus for more on this joining me in just a few. for over two decades turkey's been seeking membership a goal that recently though lost much of its appeal thanks to the ongoing euro crisis financial glooms cause some turks long term the residents to head back home again that in search of better jobs and opportunities. got their story tonight. what about five and a half million turks living in the european union their presence is certainly felt in societies in europe but as the e.u.

continues to be deep in the red the lure of their original country's economic promise is getting harder to resist and the residents living on this street known as little anatolia say that more and more of their compatriots are thinking of cutting their losses and heading back home like the owner of this snack bar belgian born outside has been finalizing his plans and is set on relocating his family back to turkey. europe is finished the crisis is getting worse every year it's going to continue first greece then spain italy right now belgium there is a lot of stress lots of taxes bills to pay while in turkey every year turkey is very powerful life is good you can live well why would you want in belgium it's no longer like this and the numbers say it all the e.u. managed a one point six percent growth in two thousand and eleven while turkey was at about seven point five percent gaining recognition as last year's fastest growing economy in europe while it is expecting

a slowdown this year the grass still looks greener on their side and dependence on europe is not quite as it used to be the trade volume used to be very high with the e.u. countries percentage wise that used to be around fifty percent now it has gone down to just over forty percent that means we're diversifying our trade more and more trade with african countries asian countries all around the world and this of course has spurred a lot of growth so we need people to be able to manage this we need qualified people personnel so we see that a lot of people are now coming you know second and third generation immigrants are coming back home for this purpose but there's another reason why a growing number of turks want out of the e.u. you know with the crisis what's the result we reject. foreigners obviously now that there are fewer jobs less money what happens is play origin is first given to the belgians and after the foreigners the turks the moroccans the russians my decision

to go back to turkey is economic but also because when there's a crisis there is discrimination if you know of this community you have as this migration trend rises turkey is still officially knocking on the e.u. store its candidacy for membership hanging in the balance for the last twenty five years thanks to a long list of requirements to fulfill and political opposition from some e.u. countries people are afraid that the e.u. will come up with more and more excuses even if we do overcome them people say that the other excuse is in front of us not that it matters any longer for some turks and turkey doesn't need europe it's europe who needs turkey in a few years you would see that i mean against turkey becoming part of the e.u. and right now turkey doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry either does or sylvia r.t. brussels. works twenty four seven to bring you a great selection of stories great pictures great features each and every day r.t. dot com there right now the story about the american network c.n.n.

five hundred workers have died in garment factory fires in the past five years i suffer a lot now i still have to buy medicine it still hurts a lot of my hands hurt my legs hurt too it's very difficult for me to walk around because of its extremely low wages bangladesh is one of the largest garment producers in the world attracting american brands from tommy hilfiger to j.c. penny to gas but the conditions at the factories are shocking low safety standards crumbling buildings and poor electrical wiring make working extremely dangerous many of the clothing companies look the other way when things go wrong claiming that they don't know what their far away factory owners are up to labor activists say that the companies should take an interest in people rather than just profits it to it's very clear that these factories don't care about anything except money once dozens of workers may have. months. corruption between the factory owners

and politicians extreme poverty and a slow justice system make it nearly impossible for western brands to be held accountable garments account for eighty percent of bangladesh's x. for nearly ten billion dollars more of the products are shipped from here mainly to the united states in europe every year to fight the international demand workers still put in long hours and work for extremely low wages and those who are brave enough to speak out against the system are often times silent. only one percent of bangladesh's garment workers belong to unions most like lovely are terrified of speaking out she never received a penny in compensation from any higher ups in her factory or the companies they exported their garments to and has now been abandoned by her family because of the high costs of the medication she needs to survive. i hope that something like this

never happens to anyone that no one has to go through such a trauma while lovely hopes that no one else suffers here the scars are an every day reminder that because every time in the garment factories her life will never be the same preassure either our t. dhaka bangladesh is. a story that we're just too but after twenty three minutes past eleven the time to be trailed before late at night good to see japan's economic slowdown has been a bit of a chill for the markets today isn't it yes indeed japan has reports of g.d.p. figures week short of expectations point three percent in the second quarter therefore annualized it goes down to one point four percent and that indeed is a slowdown so we have seen some selling going on today although right now it's come back to a flat to negative picture in the u.s. as you can see the dow jones declining just a first of a percent nasdaq even better so now in europe we've also seen pretty much the same picture with the footsie and the dax also declining within half

a percent but volumes today for about the whole session almost the whole session before the u.s. markets opened was very low around thirty to forty percent lower than usual so it's been trading day of basically traders sitting on the sidelines on the commodities markets also we have seen gains in the morning around two dollars per barrel that we've seen pretty deep losses so at least that was a bit of a bit of a surprise to see go from plus two to minus one and now it's also flat with brant over maintaining in positive territory three cents on the russian market we've seen contrary to the global picture a positive session with reality as m i six gaining ground within three quarters of a percent and that's basically based on the ross now have been other companies they were gaining for most of the session because of gains in the world price which declined just at the. very end of brushes and also you know what they call most of

the biggest gainers these two companies reported the second second quarter net profit go down by as much as thirty to fifty percent however both reports were better than was expected and on the currencies market the euro still higher versus the dollar around thirty four points around actually precisely thirty four points and the russian ruble was. gaining against both currencies but ended the session on a negative no there was a lot of selling the idea that such horrible despite all the ups and downs and yo yos on the financial market it seems nothing can hamper the mood of athletes coming back from a london especially medalist because millions of dollars have been paid by different governments to those who have raked in medals and could be faster higher and stronger in the name of their country. pilbeam takes a look. the olympics is now over for the winners they have

a permanent reminder of their victories a big shiny medal but what can the champions expect in financial terms with a return to their homelands well that depends on the individual and national olympic committees who wore their own sports stars the u.s. was the country with the most gold winners and the victorious that these can all expect a bonus of twenty five thousand dollars when they get back to the states in total that is one point eight million dollars that the u.s. government will be dishing out china hasn't revealed its official bonuses but its gold winners will reportedly get a fifty one thousand dollar prize for u.k. athletes there's no extra cash to be won but there is a privilege of getting your head on a stamp so it depends what you consider to be more valuable russia has promised out these one hundred thirty five thousand dollars for gold but some athletes can expect even more the russian judo gold champion is i have can look forward to a one million dollar paycheck when he gets home and even countries that are near

the bottom of the league table still offer a lowering amounts singapore was hoping a one million dollar bonus would bring a gold medal but it'll have to wait four years for another chance although it hasn't won a medal since nineteen fifty six and the economic crisis isn't davening the incentives with debt stricken italy giving one hundred eighty two thousand dollars to each of their winners so while it may be the taking part that counts winning certainly leaves you counting more cash. all right kevin that's it from the business team for today but we will be back eight twenty am moscow times of war of course no worries thanks. whether americans think of themselves as part of an empire a good question. for i brought you the headlines the next. time .

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you. are welcome to the big picture.
