of south and north american nations side with peter in the diplomatic wrong. that's why i am here in moscow you're watching r t with me tom would say first foreign policy came a step closer this week to engaging in syria's internal conflict as a u.s. and its ally 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 earlier president obama for the first time said he could authorize military action on the syrian territory where an important i 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.
9:02 pm
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 u.s. elections damascus also drew parallels between western focus on syria's chemical weapons and the invasion of iraq where the existence of suspected
9:03 pm
chemical weapons were never confirmed now this uptick uptick in talk and threats over military intervention into syria comes as the u.n. 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 porter r.t. . syrian opposition activists have accused pro ass achieve self slaughtering up to three hundred civilians and in tanya damascus the reports a difficult to verify but the government says it's carried out an anti terror operation in the area there as claimed that these are the latest in a series of simulate previous cycles aisha's that all changes that as international policy about to decide their next move on syria doesn't have been buried was a specialist in the affected region told us that he believes the timing is no coincidence but once again as with the houla massacre we have
9:04 pm
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 whole 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 mess here 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 is just a euphemism for an aerial attack on the country and again i'm told that if western countries do try to take over syrian air space they may very well be shot out of the skies and that is 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 besieged by rebels the chewing blockade has cost such as of food medicine and other crucial supplies but people can leave the area due to the threat posed by rebel snipers meanwhile across the border in levanon the situation remains fragile solving a spike in syria related sectarian violence at least fifteen people have been killed and more than one hundred injured in clashes between pro and anti assad government troops were deployed to stop the travel beirut based political analyst of the franklin lamb says there is growing red among the lebanese as the violence spilling over continues the concierge of my building who is syrian sometimes hides in my apartment they've been round up of syrian nationals here in beirut in south beirut even to a great deal of fear. people are saying not since the civil war how things is
9:06 pm
so likely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure but you know there are two very broods in tripoli the most certain for the the. allegories and the battle to bomb instruction right down the middle ironically is a 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. right still ahead a libya marks one year since the fall of tripoli but the celebrations is anything but joyous as continued tribal violence threatens in the city. plus the resentment on the rise in pakistan as the u.s. continues to blur legal lines when it comes to its deadly drone strikes.
9:07 pm
this week of the case of norwegian mass murderer andrus brave big reached its conclusion the right wing fanatic who admitted killing seventy seven people was declared sane by judges he's been jailed for maximum of twenty one years for his bombing and gun rampage and also law and order their island last year braving smirked when he heard the verdict which he says he will not appeal during his final stage when he apologize for not feeling even more people and he's always insisted on his sanity and that the killings were part of his fight against the islamification of norway e.u. countries were suffering a rise and fall right into victories before the tragedy but. in paul's graves ideas are fueling even more hatred towards immigrants and islam. there is no doubt about his guilt for right militant unders brave it massacred seventy seven people in norway for thirteen months ago to show his rejection of government policies of immigrants and islam all this case once again highlighted europe's
9:08 pm
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 this flat and they believe he was planning a brave extol 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 is . a line 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
9:09 pm
for the last twenty years this idea is over there is a leading culture of the european values and european culture such far right fire has gained traction in europe but it's also angered the racism groups and proponents of the left there are some resorting to very public displays of opposition. while there's an increasingly vocal wash of ideologies 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. yet despite the obvious threat of a deepening standoff between europeans and immigrants others say europe's tendency to walk on eggshells in the name of political correctness makes any real and honest debate all but impossible when you are. in. with integration of. everyone trying to find some excuse.
9:10 pm
but condition and if we don't send a clear message to everyone far right. muslim. it's become impossible to understand the police others brave extra we may have reached a clue. zhen but europe still nowhere near to ending at all to whether the cycle of fear and hatred. just are still here r t brussels. amid growing talk of a crisis of tolerance in euro but another scandal flares up in germany after read by was shut for performing a circumcision as after 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 where by just spain s.s.a. issue could be exploited by radical movements there's no question that this issue
9:11 pm
is another piece with the minarets referendum in switzerland with the burka question in france with the ritual slaughter question in holland the thing that is particularly striking about this issue is that from the perspective of those who do not actually want for are uncomfortable with visible minorities in their presence this is a fabulous issue because one cloaks the critics and the undermining of religious freedoms in protecting the rights of infants and so this is a normal position which is a much harder position to seek out when one speaks about workers or minarets a ritual slaughter and so this really to a great extent i believe this 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 standard that. the diplomatic spat between london and tito has eased
9:12 pm
says britain has retracted as thread has drawn the ecuadorian embassy and taken innocent by force they were drawl comes just a day after the organization of american states announced its support of acted as moves in the saga involving the weetabix founder laura smith 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 attempt 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
9:13 pm
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 also then 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 in the stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assange 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 doing that so i should be arrested essentially at all costs whatever it takes even if he emerges in some way in
9:14 pm
a diplomatic car even if as some have posited he emerges in some kind of diplomatic crate or bag that is not going to put the british police off arresting him that they're really very intent on arresting him and fulfilling this court order so that'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 doing us of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out. brought all the twists and turns in julian assange long running saga as well as exclusive into we with the ecuadorian president rafael correa all available on our website also on archie dot com find out the details of the free all songs operation as anonymous hacktivism once again take down british websites in support of the weekly kept the song targeting interpol and the nation's police force.

there's also significant display of solidarity jaw was this state delegates all for over one hundred nations which don't consider themselves allied to any pol block a county convening in toronto for high profile summit research director of the national iranian american consul in washington a reason rashi says the gathering shows iran is not as isolated as the us once the rest of the world to belief. there are one hundred ninety three members of the united nations general assembly and about one hundred twenty of them are going to be intact iran 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 seeing to accomplish the summit takes place just a few days after the u.n. atomic watchdog declared that recent talks with iran had failed israel claim that
9:17 pm
to run is a speeding up its work on a nuclear bomb while this let me state insists it's only pursuing peaceful energy some experts believe the west rejection all the runs 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 spouse 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. now remember you can find all the latest stories comments and videos on our website at c.n.n. dot com here's a look at some stories if we you know clothes made of the matter how do they find

9:21 pm
dozens injured after the fighting paul does use heavy weaponry including anti aircraft guns political analysts and consultant peter things 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 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 so the military is still trying to pull the strings there and of course such failing very fast and i think we will see a natural rebellion occur 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
9:22 pm
a series of insurgent attacks of left at least eight people did in iraq two policemen were killed and one injured in an early morning shooting in the country's south hours later gunmen opened fire and shot dead three private security guards in eastern baghdad meanwhile two roadside bombs that 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 loves the refinery has risen to at least forty one president hugo chavez has declared three days of mourning a government run plan to was rocked by a blast caused by gas leak nearby buildings were also damaged by the explosives impact the accident is the worst to have ever hit the south american nations oil industry. and a powerful typhoon has had the japanese island of all to know all forcing thousands of people indoors typhoon bolivarian has caused blackouts bringing winds of nearly

two hundred fifty kilometers per hour this fall people have been injured with around three hundred others taking shelter in public buildings of course transport calles with highways closed and flights canceled pakistan is investigating a u.s. drone strike that reportedly killed by a druid in the leader of the haqqani turd group the taliban claims is still alive the u.s. led attacks have long been a source of contention among pakistanis and as young as you can explain these actions that are fueling 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.
9:24 pm
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 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 difficult moral questions because of course dexter is judge jury and executioner and sometimes he makes mistakes and the united states too is in
9:25 pm
a similar position united states often says it only kills the bad guys. in 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 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
9:26 pm
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. coming up barty's high tech teammate spills the come fluid and gadgets of a new russian research vessel that's sailing on the country's rivers that's right after the headlines.
