in the past the threat of force drug obama wants to do us good at time zero that sees it trying to see use it chemical or biological weapons as they go on as to make two point five million are in need of humanitarian aid and made in a basement by. police investigate a man they suspect was planning a british style months ago just days before the norwegian mass killing here is. the keys of al qaida time takes evidence that big was trying for law back after his drone strikes in pakistan targeting people who come to the aid of the.
12:01 am
new song russia and around the world this is us he was me our thanks for joining us washington the house threatened to use force in syria if there's any sign the regime might try to deploy its stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons the warning from president obama was the strongest yet to suggest american military intervention could be on the cards heavy clashes between the rich instances and rebels continued on monday in the suburbs of the capital damascus as well as in the letter and daraa activists say after thirty people have been killed russia has moved against taking any unilateral action against syria insisting that unity government between the regime and the opposition is the only way out and to take syria tribune ali mohamed says any reckless western interference will only to support. the western countries are only after their own interest and they don't care about the syrian people despite the shame of this every single day if they.
12:02 am
about the syrian people they would work with russia with china with every other nation on earth to bring an end to this violence not too late and feed it with more weapons and money when i hear obama talking about chemical weapons out of the blue i can tell you with no doubt that they are preparing a chemical weapons scam the question is why would the syrian army use chemical weapons the syrian army is winning every single battle it's having against the rebels so why would it need to do that to the syrian government learned quite well from iraq from libya from other places if the government's army is winning why would the government give the u.s. as a pretext to attack it just out of the kindness of its heart mr obama talked about being warry that the chemical weapons would reach the bad guys and the question is why is he and his administration supporting the bad guys and sending them to syria and in the in danger in there by the safety of the chemical weapons if he doesn't want bad guys to control the chemical weapons why is he supporting them now where
12:03 am
can this leave actually this can lead to one place only regional war devastating regional war if obama at that syria or directly or via local proxy with or without the chemical weapon pretext this will definitely lead to a diverse state and regional war that will create a whole new middle east. ongoing violence has instigated a mass exodus that syrians into neighboring countries the one hundred seventy thousand people have already fled oh she's policia reports now from that doesn't count in jordan where those lucky enough to escape are now staying. well i'm standing here at the border crossing between jordan and syria it's one of the main border crossings between the two countries but security here is tight and border controls are very very effective and this is a way for a man to deal with the growing influx of syrian refugees into this country now according to jordanian estimates at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian
12:04 am
refugees are currently in jordan they've being housed in refugee camps along this border the jordanian government has build forts in the process of building another one but the situation in those camps is alarming and has caused humanitarian groups to talk about a humanitarian crisis we know that the camps are overcrowded people there have little to no access to water and electricity at the same time to the closest was broken out of the jordanian health ministry is talking about health risks they were clashes last week between some of those refugees trying to break out of those camps because they actually can't leave them without permission now the violence behind me in syria is starting to spill over to jordan today there were four shells that landed here one of them badly hurt a young jordanian killed in a number of people were rushed to hospital so that as the syrian violence creeps closer and closer into neighboring jordan the united nations observer mission has expired with no real peace prospects on the table in fact the situation in syria has actually gotten worse with violence there spiraling out of control just monday
12:05 am
there were heavy blasts and violence in the capital city of damascus we know that a number of people in the international community have expressed regret that the observer mission is wrapping up we're hearing from the now newly confirmed new peace envoy that it is his intention to stop the civil war in syria and at the same time he has welcomed the ran into peace talks he says that there needs to be a concerted effort by the international community to deal with the syrian violence as far as russia goes moscow has said it it regrets the fact that this observer mission is wrapping up and that all that is being left in damascus radio. a small office to deal with a very big problem the russian foreign ministry has stated that the idea that is being put forward to create security zones unilaterally is an idea that will not work they cannot be any kind of unilateral actions and that what is needed is a collective action by the international community action that is based on the document that was adopted at the geneva conference earlier this year in addition to
12:06 am
this moscow has said that it is concerned by reports of more evidence that is coming forward that syrian rebels are receiving the weapons that have been smuggled in from libya in addition to this we also know now that the opposition is using british intelligence that is hoping that with its rebel attacks on government forces so a lot of new evidence coming to the fore and certainly as the situation in syria does not seem likely to hold anytime soon. the line from playing to to come in the programming clarity again in a soap box regime change in libya at the lack of stability remains as dozens of suspected picked up in the lead rested after the attacks and. check police are investigating the case of a twenty nine year old man who they suspect was planning a massacre similar to the one on this break and linked in july last year the news
12:07 am
comes days before when a witch unmasking is due to receive his verdict for causing the deaths of seventy seven people in twenty times oh she's an executor chefs get reports. and off weaponry and explosives to kill dozens of people that was the discovery of the czech police when the raided at twenty nine year old man's apartment in the city of straw the man was reported by his neighbors to have some mental problems that's why the police decided to take action and later they arrested this man he was carrying a remote detonator for an explosive device on him when he was detained but it's also been revealed by the czech police that an explosive device made of an aircraft bomb was found in his apartment and they did it could have killed dozens of people it was believed to be a very powerful explosive device of several kilograms of explosives in it the police for now does not reveal does not know what this man's intentions were but it
12:08 am
already has all the reasons to believe that the man was a sympathizer of the killer from norway on this break who is due to have his verdict delivered this week sources within the interior ministry of the czech republic report that this man used a brave as he is on the internet in different forums and different social networks so they have reasons to believe that the man was sympathetic all of the of the killer from norway for now the police is trying to determine whether there had been any connection between the detained man. himself now will know little about this man for now a few pictures had been released by the czech media this. cuffs on him being put in a police car but for now the police are trying to keep all the information secret regarding this man so that he won't have any more followers and they're trying to determine whether he actually had any more followers or he was blinding to act alone motion is being accused of turning to al qaeda style toxic so follow up
12:09 am
strikes and it's true an operations in pakistan that's been growing evidence that u.s. missiles are fired at the side of tongues to targets people coming to the rescue so a flurry of american drone strikes in pakistan why it's out of a dozen people in the last few days and there is the u.s. planes are full of militant activity and she's going to check out reports now on the legal questions raised. the u.s. prides itself on the rule of law but on a number of issues the line between what's legal and what's not has kind of blurred in the last decade or so is wiretapping legal no but in the name of national security yes there are attempts right now in congress to legalize big brother on the web by making it legal for providers to funnel all private correspondence to national security agencies the law in the u.s. protects free speech but never before has there been such a hunt for whistleblowers that's in america but as far as u.s. actions abroad the issue of what's legal and what's not even murkier washington has
12:10 am
expanded its target assassinations program in different countries essentially putting itself above the law now i'm joined by john feffer author and co-director of the institute for policy studies he has an interesting theory of u.s. foreign policy he compares it to dexter the t.v. show dexter is a fictional character who is a good citizen by day and a serial killer by night but he only kills bad guys for what's so wrong about being dexter i mean everyone loves dexter was a very popular t.v. show here in the united states and all across the world but this is difficult moral questions because of course dexter is judge jury and executioner and sometimes he makes mistakes and the united states too is in a similar position united states often says it only kills the bad guys with some of the. other figures that have been attacked by drones over the last few years but
12:11 am
the united states also makes mistakes there have been any number of civilian casualties associated with these drone strikes so in some sense they're in a similar moral quandary dexter and the u.s. government as you said you know there's administration has expanded its drone program dramatically and the strikes in pakistan yemen and other places they end up killing many civilians we're talking about extra judicial killings and. here's a question that pops out. you know when when someone does something outside the law they're usually afraid of getting caught but in the case of the us who is the police to catch them there is not police is there well there isn't any police of course there are international laws and there have been a number of reports on the implications of international law on the drone attacks and the un for instance report tour has condemned drone attacks as being illegal but i think the chief concern here for the united states in terms of getting caught
12:12 am
is being caught by blowback in other words by the consequences of these drone attacks and those i think are significant because of course we've seen people here in the united states who have cited these drone attacks as the reasons for their terrorist activities for instance so i think it's blowback which really represents the casualty or shall we say the consequences that are most direct the drone program for thank you very much is it legal to overthrow governments no but the u.s. still does that is it legal to execute people without court verdict no but the u.s. does that one could argue that the reason why the rift between law and practice became so deep is that there is no law enforcement nobody to define the lines the u.s. can and cannot cough for now in washington i'm going to check out. the senior everytime they pakistani asshole says the drastic tactics used by the u.s. and his country may well. i'm afraid the information which is being
12:13 am
given out is very sketchy because especially since two thousand and nine the united states seems to have changed the rules it has declared that any able bodied person . who can be considered a militant will be considered a military perspective a fact whether the person is a terrorist or not but it is a mockery of all kinds of human rights and especially coming from a country which calls itself a champion of human rights and the only reason why the united states is banking upon the use of drones is because it considers it means by which it's own troops its own people are not put at risk and sitting from ten thousand kilometers away but the fact is that the relatives of the victims are approached by the terrorists and their tall dark sense. of their lives have been targeted and killed it is high time that you can take revenge and in fact the number of terrorists who are being groomed and recruited in this way is rising so it is not just
12:14 am
a double edged sword it is counterproductive and it is increasing terrorism rather than reducing it. u.s. general martin dempsey chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is in afghanistan to try and work out a way to bring an end to the recent spate of so cold inside a tox on nato troops and the last two weeks of time american soldiers were killed by their afghan counterparts amounting to a set of total us troops in the same period the game is often put only time it's set to be investing in fighters into afghanistan it's on me but many believe that on ten american sentiment in the country is so high that anyone could have been behind that time. to expect from afghans after ten years of enduring bombings and rape and mass murder in the hands of under us occupation the violence is not going to stop after ten years of american rule the afghan civil society has been
12:15 am
destroyed i mean the infrastructure we have a puppet government in kabul increasingly becoming authoritarian and it's not going to stall and it's a sad thing the fact of the matter is the united states does not have a goal or purpose in mind and occupying afghanistan and and we're there just so we we are sending american troops there to pacify a country that doesn't want to be pacified under u.s. rule and they are responding to that by writing resisting american imperialism so the fact that i guess it's very site it's a vicious cycle that's not going to end just because the u.s. wants it to em. this is a come for you this hour cyber retaliation and hold an anonymous long transit series a time some u.k. government website to show that anger at britain's treatment of drugs.

in childhood he looks at the lives of thousands were adopted neglected by families are bored the whole story coming up in just. egypt has demanded that leave in authorities ensure the security of his diplomatic measure after a blast head because of an egyptian diplomat in the eastern libyan city have been ghazi on monday the blasts came only a day after twin bomb attack left two people dead in the country's capital tripoli of a set of suspected khadafi loyalists have been arrested in connection with the remains unstable in the main survived a popular uprising that resulted in the ousting and death of the country's former beatle make it out in us here and that's sort of blackstone milton i mean marty believes the security situation the country will only get worse before it has any chance of getting that. it's not definitely known who could be behind
12:17 am
these kind of actions i think what might be disturbing is that normally when these kind of activities they don't just and so sadly there could be such more actions similar explosions in the days and months to come judging by the situation on the ground it's not clear that things are any better in libya today than before the nato intervention i think there's a rush to try to create a semblance of normalcy you really cannot have stability without addressing the issues of the weapons that are widely available at the end of the day the people that really exercise power in libya today are the arm militias there was some talk in the international criminal court that nato would have to be brought. to account for what amounted to war crimes who is going to address those issues so rather than focusing on the proposed trial of the son of gadhafi that's really addressed the
12:18 am
more serious issues the destruction on libya that was caused by the nato who is going to compensate libyans for the lives that were lost and the property that were destroyed that to me seems to be a much more serious issue and then the proposed trial of one of qaddafi surviving sons. and there are just some other stories making headlines across the globe this hour a car bomb attack police state has left at least eight people dead and more than sixty eight injured in the southeast and no one has claimed responsibility for that time so far there's been a rise in violence between turkish police and kurdish rebels who are demanding autonomy the country's volatile southeast believes the rebels are taking advantage of the conflict in neighboring syria to set up bases. at least twenty five people have been killed and scores injured in a prison i want to embrace where as three armed gangs of clashed fighting broke out while family members were visiting relatives officials say the situation has now

why is hard to imagine what sort of stress i have to go through fortunately in a lot of time but he is recovering surrounded by other children unfortunately thomas white has not been an isolated case. around sixty thousand russian children have been adopted by american families over the past two decades but twenty children have died through neglect and cases of mistreatment have become all too common. one family adopted six girls from russia and used them to film porn they've now been convicted another us family specifically adopted children with disabilities just to mock them they tied them up threw them into a swimming pool put hoses in their mouths and turned on the water and these are just the cases we know of moscow is calling for the creation of a separate body within the u.s. government that will monitor the lives of children adopted from russia to prevent
