on our team tonight the u.s. president outlines a possible military plan against syria but russia warns against democracy by bombs syrian officials told pieces here in moscow. a suspected and there's a graphic sympathizer is charged with plotting a copycat massacre in the czech republic days before the norwegian mass killer is due to hear his verdict. plus washington slammed for qaeda style tactics for striking those arriving to help victims hit in the wake of an earlier american drone. helos is r t it's not nine pm tuesday evening here my name's kelly now in our top story to start the hour moscow believe syria has chances of reaching peace despite

those keeping the conflict burning inside and outside the country ways of ending the bloodshed have been under scrutiny for top syrian officials here in moscow across the atlantic president obama meantime said washington could use military action if there's any sign the syrian government might try to deploy its chemical or biological weapons you see cuffing off reports. because quite against moscow's position moscow has continued to insist that a political process towards peace is originated and settled within syria by syrians by the factions involved in the syrian civil war that's been escalating for nearly eighteen months now and president barack obama's comments really caused quite a global stir when he effectively said that the country would be willing to reconsider its opposition to military intervention if the government of president bashar al assad if he uses chemical or biological weapons the top a syrian negotiator who's in moscow for these talks had called the discussion of chemical weapons by the west as

a pretext for intervention and potential an invasion it certainly doesn't sound like that based on president obama's comments but we do have to keep in mind that syria does maintain a rather large stockpile of both the chemical and biological weapons and the syrian government has threatened to use those if the country comes under for an attack so the best we could demise from all this is a lot of saber rattling but of course saber rattling that could have devastating implications for a peaceful negotiation to the crisis which is what moscow has been pushing for that has been echoed by foreign minister sergei lavrov he said the best of the west to do the best that external forces would have interest in syria could do is create a condition for internal talks to take place by the different factions cautious optimism from the russian foreign minister where he said there is hope some hope for a potential national reconciliation on the ground within syria but he did also warned that there's the if there's a lot of factions on both within and outside of the country who do not want to see a political solution to this crisis we did hear from both the the syrians who are

visiting in moscow and the russian foreign minister that there is an effort being made to bring a various sides to the negotiating table we did hear the syrian delegation say that they are welcoming any any members of the opposition who wish to negotiate will be welcome to their concerns will be heard out we also have to keep in mind. the situation isn't just about what's going on within syria there are external forces who are exerting influence in that country we've heard a lot of reports about arms being smuggled across the border for the opposition and effectively a radicalization of the escalating conflict so while all sides do seem to hope for some sort of a political solution it's very difficult to see at this point whether that will actually play out on the ground a place in the czech republic or investigating a man suspected of planning a massacre similar to the killings carried out by norwegian anders breivik last year weapons and police uniforms were discovered in his apartment just days before brevik shooting here the verdict for killing seventy seven people in two attacks

and jet skis got the story for you. and off weaponry and explosives to kill dozens of people that was the discovery of the czech police when they 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 are now does not reveal and does not know what this man's intentions were but it 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 and different forums and different social networks for now the police is trying to determine whether there have been any connection between the detained man and himself now we'll know little about this man for now a few pictures had been released by the czech media this man detained 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 planning to act alone. alexia reporting for us to you know still to come we also sweden now say for a son just senior official says the country. to the u.s. to face death row but is that enough to persuade to the whistleblower to go to face

the sex assault claims will be discussed in a few minutes also as well. and the and and sometimes beaten the moves to protect russian orphans adopted a broader call this story see a few minutes as well. now washington is being internationally condemned for turning to al qaeda style tactics by using follow up strikes in its pakistan drone raids the attacks target those who arrive at the initial scene to help victims multiple american missiles have killed over a dozen people in pakistan in the last few days in areas the u.s. claims are full of militants gutted she can't escape the story. 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 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 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 the question of 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 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 this blowback which really represents the casualty or shall we say the consequences that are most direct the drone program. to the top story says only the u.n. security council alone can authorize the use of force against syria warning against unilateral action this kids love comment on this from lawrence freeman from executive intelligence review magazine is joining us on the line from washington d.c. lawrence good evening thanks for being with us now is the use of chemical weapons in syria would be a red line for military intervention are we close to any of that and if military

intervention did what it sidelined the u.n. . well you have to look at the history of this that you have a president obama is now in a very forward motion mode of activity to start a war in syria or support a war in iraq and for this reason he should be removed legally from office he should have been removed earlier what is being said now is exactly what we saw in the scenario leading up to the iraq war remember tony blair two thousand and two the downing street r.c.a. saddam hussein could have nuclear weapons hit europe in forty five minutes this was picked up by president bush in his state of union address and then we had this as the excuse to go to war we saw the same thing in libya so this is a pretext there is the idea that we should move fifty to sixty thousand troops into syria to protect weapons chemical weapons is

a pretext for overthrowing the government and that's why that's why president obama really should not be present anymore at this point yeah damascus insists it would never use a weapons like this in damascus itself saying it's a pretext come along the lines of what you're saying now all right well moscow's warned that the u.s. and its allies should not go with democracy by bombs as it's put it but who could stop them after washington and its allies moved in on the very rapid libya without full sanction as well didn't it. well right now i think russia is playing a very positive role in fact they really saving all of us because they have made very clear that they will not support an operation that goes around the un and with the lavrov called bomb diplomacy and so they have threaten the world essentially with the sending themselves with nuclear weapons and this is actually backdoor the obama susan rice tony blair crowd as well as people in our own joint chiefs of

staff such as general dempsey but on the other hand obama is a neural type candidate personality he's a little bit crazy and he cannot be ruled out that he will take a crazy action prior to the election or even a democratic convention moscow for it's still believes there is a chance of reaching priest it's our top story today and judging by what you're saying though it's a foregone conclusion that's not going to happen it's not a foregone what we're dealing in very dangerous times i mean most people going to election and i stated even in europe now coming back in their vacations they do not understand how serious the world is right now and if you look at iran you look at syria you look at now it's going on in turkey you look at the overall palestinian question you look at the crazies around eighteen yahoo we could be seeing a war and therefore we should be taking action an american citizen should be voicing very clearly that this president has got to go because he could start

a war and we've got to get some better presidential candidates on both republican and democratic side but we're living in a very dangerous time and i think everybody should take that quite seriously structure thought from the executive intelligence review magazine. sweden says it won't turn julian assange to a third country if there was a risky face the death penalty their justice ministry official made the comments with german newspaper the sun she's now in london faces extradition to sweden over sex crime but he fears he could then end up on trial in the united states over the release of american diplomatic cables get some thoughts on this now talk to laws of the u.k. pirate party is joining us on the line from manchester laws i do think julian asserts can rest assured that he's not going to be extradited to the united states if and when he goes to sweden what we are seeing a very strange stalemate here in the. essentially ecuador is not backing

down from the exile from granting asylum and also the united kingdom is also saying it has to do and all know the arrest warrant but now it's also leaves us in this bizarre situation but clearly he can stay in the embassy indefinitely but it's difficult to see how we all get out now to danes and now. it seems to me that tend to try and get out of this stalemate but essentially. amounts to stating the only. it's common practice that countries don't accept died when there is a question of the death penalty so i don't think that these insurance that were given today will be likely to actually satisfy the count. the so the so what needs to happen is that there is actually much stronger assurance since

coming from sweden now it's correct technically that assurance it's actually don't know how much kind of also a legal binding nature because this is a common practice diplomatically essentially it's time to try and. we've been warning for months now. in the higher part. of the united kingdom or continue to pretend there wasn't a problem developing here that actually there would be a political political crisis for how that now so it's trying time to use this crisis and the kingdom can play its part to actually stand up and. actually take a political leader so long as you say this can't go on forever i wonder what their son is going to do next move for example if they do get a strong reassurance about extradition and of course he claims he's innocent about the sex crimes therefore he's got nothing to lose as well indeed but it's also

clear that every party in this saga now has to play its part in united kingdom it's important that actually we actually karo we that we are willing to you all know. the principle what's going to give it first do you think. it's again it's difficult to know or i think it's also i suspect that no progress will be made as long as he. continues to give the impression that that actually they're not taking the allegations seriously there's actually a huge role has broken out here in the united kingdom as respect and he george galloway commented on the case. here to imply that great allegations are just akin to bad behavior. these comments are hugely pensive and also hugely on how so now it's time to actually see

a practical way forward ok let's go back to what we got a minute we've only got about a minute left there's a couple of things i want to get one of the cover with the only during a speech on sunday service called a washington to stop the witch hunt against whistleblowers but is that kind of wishful thinking because it's more than just revealing wrongdoing that's going on here there were reams of other information widely thought to be endangering others lives of course. well look. it's really unfortunate it's where he leaks my remains mired in this ongoing and ongoing case never improve that anything that the whistle blowing organization is done as put people's lives in danger however the truth remains with at the moment both sound used to travel to and supporters. have been deemed by this ongoing ok to me but at the moment that the united states is not wiki leaks worst enemy. is its own worst enemy

it's clearly time that we actually start to defuse this situation but the case is that it's now a political crisis not just a legal one and it's time to diffuse the political crisis last march for taking the time to be with us tonight it's good to see a leader of the a pirate party u.k. other things when r.t. . world news and if you want to own a web site r.t. dot com couple stories that i might have picked out for you might be interested in amongst the very very many years of covertly spying on muslim neighborhoods by secret new york police today has been bragging useless for not leading to a single investigation people about that online from us and apple may be the world's most valuable company at the moment been reported this week but it's not the biggest ever details of history. it's now a shadow of its former self from us but our. more international news that this choose tonight that's making headlines right now

a car bomb near a police station in southeast turkey has killed at least nine people including four children and is wounded scores of others the kurdistan workers party is suspected of the attack which comes amid intensified clashes between turkish troops and kurdish rebels who are fighting from autonomy's region the group's issued a denial which turkish officials have dismissed as not credible. a gun battle eleven of its northern city of tripoli has left at least two dead and several others wounded the country's enjoyed a number of clashes between supporters of the posers of the regime in neighboring syria the military moved into quell the fighting on both sides but it later we started. an insurgent attack on the u.s. air base in afghanistan is damage the plane of america's top military officer general martin dempsey wasn't near the aircraft at the time but manged news group was slightly injured dempsey was in kabul to discuss the recent wave of so-called friendly fire attacks by afghan soldiers against international forces to hit on the general's planes embarrassing for american forces after the taliban claims of shot

down one of their helicopters last week. to remain here now that the president narrowly escaped impeachment but only because turnout is a referendum on his future was below fifty percent try and assess has been at loggerheads with the center left government which accuses him of interfering in the law and parliamentary business but he's also blamed for deeply divisive anti austerity measures which have been backed by e.u. states such as germany. every year thousands of russian orphans are adopted by american families with the hope of giving them a fresh start in life but so sadly it doesn't always work with tragic stories of abandonment and beatings even for. eek eek opus can offer a ports next for us there is still one place those vulnerable children can call home. he's ten years old but has already been through more than most people would face in a lifetime. this boy suffered deep psychological trauma and he often becomes

secluded locks himself 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 mother she changed her mind just six months after the adoption dumping him all alone on a flight back to moscow with nothing more than a note and a change of underwear for the last six months out of jordan has been living in a children's s. always village just outside moscow an international project that brings a new format to the traditional concept of children's homes and foster families here children move in groups in separate houses each group then has its own foster mother heading up what are john himself now called a real family. the main goal for now is to help cover to get over

his psychological problems and catch up education wise there's a large gap between what he knows and what he's supposed to know at this age. dozens of other children live in this village and although our john declined to speak on camera he's once again playing and talking with the others about so wise it's hard to imagine what sort of stress i have to go through fortunately in a long 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 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 terms former foster mother she was fined sixty thousand dollars by a us court and ordered to pay a quarter of her salary every single month until he's eighteen to a boy she rejected despite once having legally agreed to love and protect you god is going to moscow. for those who go to business now it is the. last hour of these times of uncertainty people are struggling to know where best to invest if there is a good place exactly that will the choosing commodities that he tevin at the moment and that is why the prices of food will materials are really sky rocketing hitting record historical highs the full details of this is class us and that square has
