find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. comes a report on. the stories that shape the week the western nations are inching closer to military intervention in the syrian conflict plans to set up a no fly zone and threats to authorize a strike on the country. no reason mass killer anders grazing is declared sane and gets twenty one years in jail while his n.t. islam agenda serves as an inspiration for even the bull radical groups. a scandal that unites muslims and jews in their anger after a german rabbi was charged for performing it doesn't age induced by denise and controversial called ban on the practice. and of britain has withdrawn its threat to go into the ecuadorian embassy and arrested in the sunday fight for up to a block of stock in north american nation side we keep that in the diplomatic wrong

. it was a large cheese the weekly with me to say foreign policy came a step closer this week to engaging in serious internal conflict as the us and its allies are dished out fresh threats from suggested that western nations could consider setting up a no fly zone over the stricken country without a u.n. security council mandate a little illya president obama for the first time said hugh could authorize military action on the syrian territory marina portnoy reports from new york. as the violence in syria continues increasing western countries may be inching closer and closer towards military intervention this past week the u.s. britain and france all separately signaled when or why they would take direct action u.s. president barack obama said that washington would intervene if the syrian

government deployed chemical or biological weapons against civilians britain echoed america's sentiments while france called for the consideration of a partial no fly zone to be imposed over syria's airspace and that is a suggestion that u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton previously made now the syrian deputy prime minister who was visiting moscow this week for talks has accused western countries are reaching for any reason that would lead to direct intervention he also said that president obama's threats are linked directly to the us elections damascus also drew parallels between western focus on syria's chemical weapons and the invasion of iraq where the existence of suspected chemical weapons were never confirmed now this uptick uptick in talk and threats over military

intervention into syria calms as the un security council is scheduled to have a ministerial meeting on syria on aug thirtieth that meeting was called for and will be chaired by france reporting from new york marina r.t. . syrian opposition activists have accused troops of slaughtering two hundred civilians in the tanya damascus the report the difficult to verify but the government says it carried out an anti terror operation in the area the rebels cleans up the latest in the series of previous accusations that just the international polls were about to decide their next move on syria dr kevin barrette who's a specialist in the affected region told me earlier he believes the timing is no coincidence. and once again as with the houla massacre we have a very interesting set of circumstances where right before this u.n.

ministerial meeting coming up on august thirtieth we have a big orchestrated p.r. event designed to smear the government in damascus and the west intervening in syria and i'm very suspicious i was asked about this shortly after the massacre and i said we need to wait and see what really happened and there are some indications that much and perhaps most of the killing in the whole atmosphere was actually perpetrated by the rebel forces and the same thing might be true this time the so-called no fly zone of course what that really is this is just a euphemism for an aerial attack on the country yet again i'm told that if western countries do try to take over syrian airspace they may very well be shot out of the skies and so i certainly hope they don't try because this is the world to the brink of a very dangerous confrontation. over twelve thousand christians are trapped in a syrian village near the lebanese border siege by rebels but here we go ok it has

caused a food medicine and other crucial supplies that people can leave the area due to the threat posed by rebel snipers meanwhile across the border in lebanon on the situation remains a fragile following a spike in syria related sectarian violence these fifteen people have been killed and more than one hundred injured in clashes between pro and anti us that gunmen troops were deployed to stop the trouble they were based political analyst up to franklin lamb says as growing dragged among lebanese as the violence spills abel continues. the concierge of my building who is syrian sometimes hides in my apartment they've been round up of syrian national is here in beirut in solve beirut even though it's a great deal of fear all the people are saying not since the civil war. or have things been so likely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure but you know the two very broods in tripoli the ball both for the the.

i'll always be able to bomb instructions right down the middle ironically it is the name of a big street called syria street and that really tells the tale up there but we have seen in beirut and other parts of the country a similar the region things are very much on the. still ahead libya mogs a one year since the fall of tripoli but celebration is anything but a joyous continue travel violence or threatens to send the country further into chaos. plus a resentment on the rise in pakistan as the u.s. continues to blur the legal lines when it comes to the deadly drone strikes. this week or the case of norwegian mass murderer andrus brave they can reach its conclusion the right wing fanatic who admitted killing seventy seven people was declared sane by judges he's been jailed for

a maximum of twenty one years for his bombing and gun read page in oslo and island last year brave akes murder when he heard the verdict which he says he will not appeal during his final statement here haulage eyes for not killing even more people he's always insisted on his sanity and that the killings were part of his fight against the islamists if occasion of no way in countries was suffering a rise in the far right activities before the tragedy but it's just a silly i mean fourth of raving's ideas are fueling even more hatred towards immigrants and islam. there's no doubt about his guilt far right militant unders brave massacre of seventy seven people in norway thirteen months ago to show his rejection of government policies of immigrants and islam oh this case once again highlighted europe's deepening divide over immigration had integration and the subsequent radicalization of ideas. last week

a twenty nine year old suspected brave exemplifies or was charged in the czech republic officers found weapons and police uniforms in his flat and they believe he was planning a brave slaughter. while in norway police are investigating a threatening email sent to newspapers and politicians from a person who claims to be brave and in command i would my soldiers to give all due respect to our people our culture and our ethnicity and warn all advocates of multiculturalism they get is this war we are now so deeply in physical violence. that we draw very clearly now multiculturalism in the sense that everybody could keep this culture well this idea which has been the official idea for over for the last twenty years this is over there is a leading culture of european values culture such far right fire has gained traction in europe but it's also angered racism groups and proponents of the left

there are some sort of very public displays of opposition. while there's an increasingly vocal quassia biology's and a rise in political extremes one step up the fringes countries are increasingly criticised for failing to properly engage people on what's needed to sort the problem out and so my social tensions are testing the limits of tolerance across europe yet despite the obvious threat of a deepening standoff between europeans and immigrants others say europe's tendency to walk in their. shell's in the name of political correctness makes any real and honest debate all but impossible when you are. with implication of you missed and if we want to try to find some excuse. you but condition of life and if we don't send a clear message to everyone for

a ride found ok tricks muslim. become impossible to understand the police and others brave extraordinary have reached a conclusion but europe still no where near to wending at all to whether the cycle of fear and hatred. just are still here r t brussels. amid a growing talk of a crisis of tolerance in europe another scandal flares up in germany after rabbi was charged for performing a circumcision that's after a regional court in cologne banned religious circumcisions under a new law because outrage among jews and muslims worldwide accusing the authorities of infringing on religious freedom german base read by just spain or says the issue could be exploited by radical movements. there's no question that this issue is of a piece with the minarets read through in them and so it's real and with the birth of a question in france with the ritual slaughter question in holland thing that is particularly

striking about this issue is that from the perspective of those who do not actually ones who are uncomfortable with this of all minorities in their presence this is a fabulous issue because one cloaks the criticisms and the undermining of religious freedoms in protecting the rights of infants and so this is a noble position which is a much harder position to say cow when one speaks about workers or minarets of ritual slaughter and so this really to a great extent i believe is the issue goes people in western societies who are going to try and push back against genuine tolerance are going to use it's a very convenient issue for them it also unites almost all jews and almost all muslims so it's killing a number of birds with one stone in a very pretty stone and that. the diplomatic spat between london and has eased as britain has retracted its threat to storm the ecuadorian embassy and take julian assigned by force they were told all comes that just

a day after the organization of american states announced the port of backward as moves in the saga involving the we can be found up north where that brings us the details of the meeting that prompted a break in the standoff. it was a meeting that lasted five hours but eventually ecuador got what it wanted out of the meeting essentially the foreign minister made a speech in which he condemned britain for what he called an assault on your sovereignty and eventually what happened was that these thirty four countries signed this resolution which rejects any attempts to put at risk the inviolability of diplomatic premises anywhere in the world and and expressed solidarity and support for ecuador in their offering of asylum to julian our sons but also urged to continue talks between ecuador and britain to try and sort out their diplomatic problems the usa and canada are members of this organization and they were very much against this meeting from the very beginning and they all say that expressed

reservations about the resolution that was passed in the end but it goes to show that particularly in its own region ecuador is not acting alone and it's now got huge international backing across the americas but we've seen no movement in britain stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assad and to fulfilling this court order which says that he must be extradited to sweden whatever happens and in fact we've seen further proof in recent days that britain is not going to abandon its plans to arrest him we had a policeman photographed outside the ecuadorian embassy one of the many policemen who is guarding the embassy twenty four seven holding this piece of paper a piece of restricted information that says that julian assange should be arrested essentially at all costs whatever it takes even if he emerges in some way in a diplomatic car even if as some have posited here merges in some kind of diplomatic crate or bag that is not going to put the british police off arresting

him really very intent on arresting him and fulfilling this court order so that it's a position that hasn't changed in the last few days and i see no reason that it will change as a as a direct result of this but as i say the international pressure is growing meanwhile due to messages of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out. no the twists and turns in julian assange long running saga as well as the exclusive interview with the i could or in president rafael correa available on the web site also on r t dot com find out the details all of the free us on shop aeration as anonymous activists once again take down british websites in support of the weekend this time targeting interpol and the nation's a police force. down

currently convening in toronto for high profile summit research director of the national iranian american consul in one chintan reason rashi says the gathering shows iran is not as isolated as the u.s. wants the rest of the world to believe. there are one hundred ninety three members of the united nations general assembly and about one hundred twenty of them are going to be in teheran with some kind of diplomatic representation. because that's how many members there are of the nonaligned movement so you know it's a great talking point to say that iran's international isolation will continue but if you look at the totality of the world a large degree of countries maybe don't agree entirely with what the united states led sanctions are doing and what they're seeking to accomplish. and the summit takes place just a few days off to the u.n. atomic watchdog declared that reason talks with iran had failed israel claim that iran is a speeding up its work on a nuclear bomb while the islamic state insists it's only pursuing peaceful energy

some experts believe the west rejection of iran's right to atomic energy could backfire but there's no doubt that iran has quite a bit of support among the nonaligned movement you know among those countries that are the nuclear have nots if you will. they do in fact have a lot of support for the point of view which the spa was which is that they have a right to enrich uranium the western powers are essentially taking trying to take that away from them for political purposes essentially using a double standard or even worse. remember you can find all the latest stories comments and videos on our website at r.t. dot com isn't it that some stories they have for you right now carries that don't to make them bad or do they find out what attire to avoid when trying to board a passenger plane in new. protests abroad to two wanted to see

don't come. on the threshold of the first anniversary of the fall of tripoli libya seems to me well came the event with violence and chaos and the latest in a series of recent attacks on say fishwives us a lot of these lemons were blamed for blowing up and bulldozing a fifteen the century sanctuary sectarian tension in libya have reached new levels off to safety religious sites were destroyed by armed salafi this and government security forces this is against the background of. via ethnic clashes which have spiraled since colonel gadhafi was ousted most recently at least twelve people were killed and dozens injured after the fighting parties used heavy weaponry including empty clock on political analysts and consultant peter you think the libya will only descend deeper into chaos. libya is following the same trend as all the other

countries where there was a force regime we have the same scenario in iraq we have the same situation in afghanistan we've got the situation in libya which was again a force regime and as you would expect there will be breakaway groups because at the end of the day although gadhafi was a fraudster in many ways brought that country from the doldrums into great prosperity and the wrong government got in and showed the military is still trying to pull the string you say and of course such failing very fast and i think we will see a natural rebellion. like it's ongoing in iraq like is ongoing in syria and egypt and now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world a series of insurgent attacks have left at least eight people dead in iraq two policemen were killed and one injured in an early morning shooting in the country south hours later a gunman opened fire and shot dead three private security guards in eastern baghdad

meanwhile two roadside bombs claimed the lives of three more soldiers in western iraq over two hundred people have been killed in deadly attacks this month throughout the nation. the death toll of an explosion at venezuela's largest oil refinery has risen two words these forty one president hugo chavez has declared three days of warney the government run plant was robbed by a blast caused by a gas leak nearby buildings were also damaged by the explosive impact the accident is the worst to have ever hit the south american nations oil industry. now powerful typhoon has hit the japanese island of okinawa are forcing thousands of people indoors typhoon bolivarian has caused blackouts bringing winds of nearly two hundred fifty kilometers per hour at least four people have been injured with around three hundred others taking shelter in public buildings it's called transport carriers with highways closed and flights canceled. pakistan is

investigating a u.s. drone strike that reportedly killed but gruden a leader of the haqqani terror group the taliban claims he's still alive u.s. led attacks have long been a source of contention among pakistanis and young age again explains its episodes like this that fuel the insurgency. 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 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 each 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 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 of 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 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 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 a case of the us who is the police to catch them 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. 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 blowback which really represents the casualty or shall we say the consequences that are most direct the drone program. i'll be back with the headlines in a few minutes and right after that a leading middle east analyst describes how to solve the syrian conflict that's an identity to.
