of darius cannot be in a panel e verify but the government says it carried out and a terror operation in the area the british foreign office has responded that sunday's massacre highlights urgent need for international intervention against the assad regime moscow insists any unilateral action will only worsen the conflict that's already claimed more than eight hundred thousand lives president assad has vowed to stand firm in the face of what he deems to be a western plot against his nation this comes amid reports by activists that rebels of the free syrian army have shot down an army helicopter over damascus that only specialist in the red believes what we're seeing now in syria could be a setup for military intervention. but once again as with the houla massacre we have a very interesting set of circumstances where right before this u.n. sterle 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 school massacre and i think 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 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 airspace he 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. by soured he talks a german a left wing politician now that i can about the ongoing bloodshed in syria he believes the government in berlin is to face to when it comes to the crisis. officially they don't take sides something sure of the. human rights. repression

within the comfort sure enough but officially them taking the other side with the records of whatever informally and we see it from their involvement you know with this question from the ground. and they invite syrian petitions for the time they're off to train them here so i'm officially they seem to take sides but it's unclear to me who they are so if somebody selected people on. the basis of which for tyria no clue i mean we now have been invited for a final discussion i'm all for me how can you train some people not to mean we let's party do linking in germany we have context left politicians some people in syria i would know what i would pick but obviously these are different people. around one hundred pro policy activists have been stopped by israeli authorities on

their way to the west bank from jordan the group aims to deliver aid to schoolchildren in bethlehem refugee camps but were reportedly turned away without an e. explanation israel's defense ministry and later a label the activists move as a failed publicity stunt this latest incident follows another scandal involving palestinian children a number of israeli veterans have spoken out describing it degrading culture of abuse and harassment of youngsters in the west bank and gaza activists have released a report containing dozens of testimonies that detail numerous cases of violence committed by former soldiers publicly or has the story. the israeli defense forces has come under fire from its own rank and file an organization known as breaking the silence has published the testimonies of some thirty israeli soldiers and commanders in which they deal specifically with how the idea of treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the op or treat use of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often

the idea of deliberately targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reporters who go on to say that even when children are not deliberately targeted they are not afforded any kind of protection when there is a shootout or any kind of military operation now these reports come out on the heels of another two danny conclusions that were reached by two separate groups one being an imminent group of british lawyers and another an international human rights group known as save the children foundation now both of these found that the idea is in violation of international law when it comes to how it treats palestinian children they say that very often these children are put into solitary confinement they are treated and abused they suffered extensive damage at the same time the army is using things like shackles to extract confessions from these children that those confessions are extracted under duress and also these children are not afforded any kind of legal representation now also this weekend there were

demonstrations as indeed there are even weekend the big salad which is a palestinian village villages there are complaining about the gradual encroachments of a nearby settlement on the water supplies they say that those water supplies are being taken over by the citizen as a result they have no water with which to use on the fields all for drinking water but in footage that was captured on camera these soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested for. five of whom were children and there are pictures of the daughters of one woman trying to save their mother as she was manhandled by the soldiers who were stun grenades so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding itself being criticized on a number of friends point of. television well coming up later in the program tolerance test it. with the. world they

have to accept that in germany it is ok to criticize islam if they cannot accept that they shouldn't be allowed to be here. germany reminded the muslim community who is the law's come first by allowing protesters to display cartoons of the problem of hama also. in just a few minutes find out how doing the basic things all journalists should by gathering of good land reporters on a blacklist of some governments. now iran's foreign minister has rung the opening bell of a conference for countries which don't consider themselves connected to any of the world's power blocs it's the largest international summit to have ever been hosted by the islamic republic with one hundred twenty states taking part equaling two thirds of all u.n. members united nations secretary-general ban ki moon has decided to attend despite pressure from washington and its allies which have been accused of trying to play

down the importance of the summit asia times correspondent pepe escobar believes no western attempts to undermine the gathering will succeed. just look at the math it's very simple who is into run at the moment this is the real international community trying to find solutions to pressing problems such as the runnion nuclear dossier and the war in syria and the coverage i have to talk about journalism here as a journalist to cover it in american mainstream media ranges from the that sick to the up serve the only talk about iran trying to use credentials and show that it's not isolated it was never isolated in the first place this is a figment of the imagination of the ability ministration and european pulls the allies and the g.c.c. but your monarch is in the middle east so this is a real zari important meeting this is how to implement diplomacy works at the highest levels you have to find a solution involving the main partners in the region and

a solution that will save face for everybody the problem is there may be people who are interfering which are basically they just to see better monarchist even if they are in in washington they don't want a rational solution they want three g. change and so you know this goes way beyond you know you can have joint to five summits all over the world and you'll never find a solution for this contradiction how are you going to spread democracy in the middle east when you're calling for a humanitarian bombing or regime change based on a bunch of guerrillas in a sovereign nation. back to our breaking news story at least three people have been an injured in a blast at a local market in the city of ms ronit russia's republican machete well all three were taken to hospital with one of them said to be critical condition authorities say they close of device went off and one of markets pavilions police are

a story just goes on and on doesn't it. it does who knew that would be using this wonderful lovely monday afternoon to be talking about pussy of all things but it does look like two members of the anti-christ and punk band pussy riot have actually fled russia boarding to a lawyer for one of the jailed members the two women no longer felt comfortable in russia they were fleeing to avoid persecution prosecution for participating and anti an anti stunt essentially at the crisis savior cathedral which you can see right behind me but if you check out the group twitter feed accounts it looks like the two members are actually planning on taking their protests worldwide they tweeted that they will be recruiting foreign feminists for a new protest action those remains to be seen what exactly that will mean and what form this will take we do know that several weeks ago on august seventeenth three members of the post the right group were sentenced to two years in prison for participating in this protest it was an effort to gain publicity they've certainly

succeeded as the move has a worldwide condemnation as well as the russian government for the sentencing of the members opposition groups here and russia have claimed that this was some sort of part of a clampdown by the russian government but those members were actually sentenced of charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred the identities of the two women weren't released but we do know that there are several people associated with the groups who do still remain in the country that according to the husband of one of the sentenced members we also saw sort of similar protest actions inspired or sparked perhaps by what pussy riot had done immediately after the sentencing. brainy and group them and have actually cut down a russian or an orthodox cross in key of several days afterwards more crosses were cut down so regardless of how this story plays out it certainly looks like it's sparking attention by other members who seem to be interested in putting together

these kinds of stunts the story certainly isn't going away any time soon it seems all right was he thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details lizzie reporting there thank you. now germany is struggling to see eye to eye with its muslim community over whose laws and always should prevail from end to extremism protester openly displaying portraits of the prophet muhammad demonstrations have been taking place in a number of cities across the country are just bitter all over reports. demonstrators in germany display cover to choose of the prophet mohammed outside a mosque german courts gave the green light to allow the cartoons of muhammad to be displayed saying they were protected by artistic freedom and did not qualify as a call to hatred the same cartoons which originated in denmark have resulted in violence around the world since their publication in two thousand and five. those

behind the protests say that they're doing this to gauge the willingness of the islamic community to out here to germany you've got what you have missed your all this is not provoke ation on the contrary we are testing the propensity of extremist muslims who have built a base here in berlin to respect their laws a spokesperson for germany's islamic community has said they won't be baited into taking action. point out we're going to ignore these people and we will not organize a concert demonstration that is the right position to take and it is one that will hold there was reaction elsewhere though in egypt among tossed for nail bombs into the grounds of the german embassy he said he was incensed by the court's decision to allow the cartoons to be shown during the protest right wing politicians say that while in germany muslims should accept german law i would. invent some of his

and this is not the islam make world we should be able to decide what cartoons are shown or they have to accept that in germany it is ok to criticize islam if they cannot accept that they shouldn't be allowed to live here and right wing groups say that muslims the enemy their problem is with government policy which they claim allows islamic extremism safe haven within german borders and if they're doing awful quiet our message is clear it's not the kebab solar but the politicians following false policies who are your enemy for. they're the ones living in extremist thrive here the incident with the cartoons isn't the first time german courts of past controversial judgment regarding islamic beliefs already this year a ban on circumcision received outcry from the country's muslim community if lawmakers want to avoid future protests of this nature that it's up to them to come up with a solution to tensions between non muslims and germany's islamic community peter

all of a r.t. . now take a look at some other stories from around the world it's been a bloody twenty four hours in afghanistan where an ambush attack by taliban insurgents at a military outpost in the south has claimed the lives of at least ten soldiers four others were injured and six more troops are said to be missing in a separate incident suspected members of the taliban be had seventeen villagers in the neighboring kajaki district meanwhile a man an advantage to form a shot dead two nato troops in the country's east violence by alleged afghan soldiers advanced coalition forces has recently escalated in the country and the taliban says it's part of its nato tactics. at least one person has been killed in a drive by shooting in yemen when gunmen opened fire on a peaceful protest hundreds of people gathered for the sit in demanding reforms related to the uprising that toppled the country's longtime leader ali abdullah saleh last year meanwhile five suspected al qaeda members have been arrested in the

country's a volatile south the break came over a week after a deadly attack on the country's intelligence headquarters which left twenty one dead. the libyan interim me interior minister has resigned amid fears of renewed sectarian clashes in the country this after a sufi religious sites were destroyed by armed self this and government security forces libya remains volatile ever since the popular uprising resulted in the ouster and death of its longtime leader moammar gadhafi last year the country is currently ruled by an elected general national congress. as tropical storm isaac heads to words the u.s. gulf coast at least three states have already declared emergencies the storm hit south florida with heavy rain on sunday and is expected to slam into other parts of the country as a category two hurricane on wednesday this as restoration works began in haiti

after ten people died and fourteen thousand were forced to evacuate to scape the flood waters battered the caribbean. well everyone should now both sides of the story or at least in principle yet that's not the premise the u.s. government seems to be sticking to what it comes to telling the truth about its operations overseas as a gun at you can now reports it's the people tasked with uncovering their real facts there are left to face the music. in the u.s. free speech is protected by law so what can the government do when they don't like what some journalists reveal about them it turns out a smear campaign is one of the options chris woods is co-founder of the london based bureau of investigative journalism the organization to great efforts to report on the deaths of many civilians in cia drone strikes overseas the cia. elements of the u.s.

intelligence community chose to attack their work. rather investigate some of the points that we were writing for them particularly around the deaths of civilians in several articles including this one in the new york times an anonymous u.s. government official tacitly accused the journalists of being sympathetic to al qaida let's be under no illusions there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help al qaeda succeed to suggest that in any way only or more a news organization a pure investigative journalism or in any way sympathetic towards al qaida or its goals it is disgraceful i do think those kind of smears indicate the stakes involved the cia remembers claiming that it killed ninety civilians in pakistan for more than a year our reporting the reporting of many other credible news i presume academics now shows that simply isn't the case that simply untrue usa today journalist tom

banda burke and ray locker became the subject of a sustained internet campaign to discredit their work just days after they began publishing the results of their investigation into a multi-million dollar pentagon funded propaganda mission in iraq and afghanistan fake websites twitter feeds and facebook accounts were set up under the journalist's names in which they were accused of being backed by the taliban we tried to contact mr a locker but he wrote back saying his editors prefer that he does not do any interviews on. subject but a smear campaign wasn't the punishment for the prominent yemeni journalist. shying he was the first to report on the u.s. drone strike in yemen which killed fourteen women and twenty one children back in two thousand and nine he's now in jail in yemen upon the request of barack obama himself convicted of having ties with terrorists and what's what's most outrageous for me as a as an american journalist is the role of the u.s.

ali abdullah saleh the president of yemen gets a phone call not from john brennan or whatever obama's advisers but from president obama himself and president obama said we're very concerned about the release of this guy we don't know the full extent of what happened in that phone call with the white house and state department in fact i interviewed the state department admit that obama in fact said the u.s. wants him to stay in jail here in the u.s. or in the u.k. for that matter journalists are protected by law and it's not easy to put them in jail but there is one way to get back at them try and discredit their work by suggesting they're helping terrorists or the taliban or whatever else one might argue that the label carries out it's becoming an all too convenient for the government to brush off investigative journalism which exposes their flaws i'm going to check our reporting from washington. well back to our breaking news story well at least three people have been injured in a blast at

a local market in the city of misrata in russia's republican bush area and all three were taken to hospital was one of them said to be in a critical condition authorities say the explosive device went off and one of the market's pavilions police are investigating at the side of the blast and sporadic violence has been erupting in the volatile republic for years well the last attack taking place a little over a week ago when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the funeral of a police officer. well let's switch gears now and see what's happening in the world of business daniel is here with us day already and we're going to gold is already a record highs it is expected to double in price again metals groups and the coach and explains what. you have massive amounts of printing right now that's been sort of very carefully and very well concealed to plug up deficits what people are sinking about and you talk about the four thousand five hundred dollar notes argument is when the velocity of money does kick up basically what happens everyone

scared take the money of the banks take the money out of different things that investment and keep the money cash i know where it is narratives that he's a basically beat the churn over money goes down now once people sort of see there's lots and lots of printing money into the system to get money to move around in the build new businesses and everything else was that starts to kick in and the velocity of money kicks up but they printed so much money in the past three years that when the velocity does kick in the effect it has is much bigger because that much more money out in the system and that's where you can get the gold price to book. but as i understand gold prices have been mostly driven all only by the belief that base is as safe as it is about the ultimate bubble to say that it's a bubble it's pretty hard because if you talk about the total amount of assets invested in gold globally it's minuscule very very few people actually have gold in their investment portfolios very people very few people have gold this or gold mining shares or gold related stocks in their overall investment portfolio and so that this doesn't smell like a bubble

a bubble is when people take out margin one hundred to one to buy an internet stock that they don't know anything about has no revenue no earning and who knows you know has been around for two months it's not a bubble if you're buying for cash gold not on margin and sticking it in your safe that's not a bubble and that's more that represents more of the gold market today than any sort of public stocks have past. moscow's gone all read off the money in my most were so veiled law says that victim like a drug germany central bank has dubbed e.u. buying of spanish bonds adding it doesn't solve the e.u. debt crisis the footsie is closed today they were called decide if it's up or down so they've really struggling for direction against the greenback and shares in some cities have suffered their biggest plunged. in four years offer a u.s. court will the infringed six apple peyton's for mobile devices south korean tied to more per billion dollars compensation but it has another hearing upcoming that could lift a sales ban on some of its products in the states. don't know is expanding into
