first the radical force barack obama warns the u.s. could attack syria if it suspects there might be an attempt by damascus but to use its chemical or biological weapons this as two top syrian officials are back in moscow for another round of talks about the potential way forward out of the bloody conflict more for me lucy cop and straight ahead. check police investigate a man they suspect was planning a brevig style massacre just days before the norwegian mass killing here's his verdict. and accused of copying al qaida tactics evidence that the u.s. is launching follow up attacks after its drone strikes in pakistan targeting people who come to the aid of the wounded.
7:01 am
scream annulment twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is r.t. and i'm karen tara well top ministers from the syrian government are in moscow to discuss ways of ending the continuing bloodshed in their country that's after u.s. president barack obama said washington could use force if there's any sign the regime might try to deploy its chemical or biological weapons parties lucy coffin of reports. the syrian government does possess an extensive stockpile of chemical and biological weapons and hamas threatening to use them in the country came under foreign attack it is unclear whether this is mere saber rattling by both sides but of course it really complicates efforts to find a diplomatic solution to this ongoing escalating crisis something that moscow has really been pushing for from the start now the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov on monday also reiterated his opposition has his warning of sure that no
7:02 am
unilateral solution is possible or could be effective in syria he said that an international collective agreement would be the preferred way forward to something similar to what the world powers and syria had agreed to in the geneva conference back in june of course all of this this this sort of international way forward has really come under question after the u.n. security council had decided against extending its observer mission in syria but really throwing questions into whether international agreement could really be the way forward when serious topic anomic negotiator was in moscow in the beginning of august and one of the bigger biggest issues that wasn't up for discussion was a potential loaned out for syria by moscow as well as the sale of oil to syria we also have to keep in mind that while lot of food and fuel is not getting into weapons are we've seen the reports of the weapons being smuggled to the syrian opposition through the libyan border this really exasperates the conflict and
7:03 am
really sets the situation up for a potential rapid escalation in fighting more so than what we've already seen ongoing violence has a secluded a mass exodus of syrians into neighboring countries the u.n. says at least one hundred seventy thousand people have already fled and artist fall asleep or reports from a desert camp in jordan where those who escaped are now staying when i'm standing here at the ramtha border crossing between jordan and syria it's one of the main border crossings between the two countries but security. there 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 refugees are currently in jordan they're being housed in refugee camps along this border and 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
7:04 am
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 close this has 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 into jordan just monday before shells that landed here one of them badly hurt a young your jordanian gold in a number of people who rushed to hospital so that as the syrian violence creeps closer and closer into neighboring jordan. there are charity and we've got plenty to come in the programming clothing a year since the nato backed regime change in libya while the lack of stability remains as dozens of suspected gadhafi loyalists are arrested after a bomb attacks in tripoli. check police are investigating the case of a twenty nine year old man who they suspect planning
7:05 am
a massacre similar to the one on their sobriety they currently in july last year the news comes just days before the norwegian mass killer is due to receive his verdict for causing the deaths of seventy seven people in twenty attacks. reports. and off weaponry and explosives to kill dozens of people that was the discovery of the czech police when the raided a twenty nine year old man's apartment in the city of drama 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
7:06 am
police are now does not reveal and does not know what this man's intentions were but already has all the reasons to believe that the man was a sympathizer of the killer from norway and it is brady who is due to have his verdict delivered this week sources within the interior ministry of the czech republic report that this man 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 know of the killer from norway so for now the police is trying to determine whether there have been any connection between the detained man and himself now will know little about this man for now that a few pictures had been released by the czech media of this man detained and 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 if he was planning to act

7:08 am
with our team and washington is being accused of turning to al qaeda style tactics to follow up strikes in and strong operations in pakistan there's been growing evidence that u.s. missiles are fired at the site of earlier attacks to target people coming to the rescue. of american drone strikes in pakistan have wiped out over a dozen people in the last few days in the areas the u.s. claims are full of militant activity is going to carry reports on the legal questions that lie ahead. 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
7:09 am
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 expanded its target assassinations program in different countries essentially putting itself above the law now i'm joined by john pfeffer 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 mystified 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 a 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 are some of
7:10 am
the. other figures that have been attacked by drones over the last few years but 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 the u.s. government as you said you know this 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. there'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 and there is no 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
7:11 am
but i think the chief concern here for the united states in terms of getting caught 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 of the drone program a retired senior officer of the pakistani air force says that in the end u.s. drone attacks end up drawing more people into the ranks of the militant calls. i'm afraid the information which is being 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
7:12 am
a militant will be considered a militant irrespective of the fact whether the person is a parrot or start not but it is a mockery of all kinds of human rights and especially coming from a country which calls itself the 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 its 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 they are told that since your for their leaders have been targeted and killed it is high time that you can take a revenge and in fact the number of terrorists who are being groomed and recruited in this way is rising so it is not just a double edged sword it is counterproductive and it is increasing terrorism rather than reducing it right still to come this hour cyber retaliation a group called anonymous launches a series of attacks on u.k.

market why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines cars report. here with our team and we turn our attention to egypt they have demanded that the libyan authorities ensure the security of that's diplomatic mission in the country that's after a blast hit the car of an egyptian diplomat in the eastern libyan city of been golfing on monday it came only a day after a twin bomb attack left two people dead in the capital of tripoli over thirty suspected loyalists of the country's former leader moammar gadhafi have been arrested in connection with the incident meanwhile so you fall islam gadhafi the son of the toppled leader is due to face trial next month libya remains on stable
7:15 am
since the nato backed popular uprising resulted in qaddafi's ousting and deaths last year editor of black star news melton ali mahdi believes the security situation in the country will only get worse before it has any chance of getting better. it's not definitely known who could be behind these kind of actions i think what might be disturbing is that normally when these kind of activities start they don't just and so sadly there could be such more actions as similar explosions in the days and months to come and judging by the situation on the ground it's not clear that things are any better in libya today than before the nature 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 armed militias there was some
7:16 am
talk and 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 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 than the proposed trial of one of qaddafi surviving sons . now to some other stories making headlines across the globe this hour a car bomb attack at a police station has left at least eight people dead and more than sixty injured in southeast turkey no one has yet claimed responsibility there's been a rise in violence between turkish police and kurdish rebels who are demanding autonomy in the country's volatile southeast onkar believes the rebels are taking advantage of the conflict in neighboring syria to set up bases there. at least

of the activists. anonymous is doing that has been going on there so it's very beginning. name. because he has and his organization has become one of the most driving forces in something very very positive and necessary. arrangements as we used to do you know overseas mindset between citizenry and their governments that's why this is always been a major issue that i missed and why what would seem to be actually when we see the behavior of the so we've seen from britain for instance of the last few weeks saying such things as al you get is not acknowledged the ability to provide to another nation a government that's ugly obviously the west has forged it in terms of diplomatic policy to the fact that william hague would say something about if that actually shows us what who we're dealing with the terms of how crazy they get when they have to so you know we're always a very very happy that people have many many options by which to get involved in

this situation which one side is very obviously gain control behavior and the other side is engaging in a small but those. abandoned by his russian birth mother and then abandoned by his adoptive american mother as well the case of ten year old are created not just a personal tragedy but also a media start after the boy simply said all alone in a plane back to his homeland now moscow is proposing a new system to ensure cases like this can never happen again as our school of reports. he's ten years old but has already been through more than most people would face in a way of time. this boy suffered deep psychological trauma and he often becomes secluded locks himself out from the rest of the world and when it comes to america he still never talks about it in his relatively short life already been abandoned twice first by his biological russian mother and then by his american forster

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 use them to film porn they've now been convicted another u.s. 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 such stories of neglect ever happening again as for out of tombs former foster
