moscow the french president has called on the syrian opposition to form a provisional government saying it would be recognized by paris france were already the second leader to be backing military intervention in syria barack obama he said chemical weapons would be a legitimate cause for direct action this is heavy clashes continue in the syrian capital with opposition supporters claiming rebels are shot down an army helicopter over damascus activists have blamed syrian security forces for killing more than three hundred civilians in the town of daraa near the capital the government said it carried out an anti terror operation in the area the syrian president has vowed to stand firm in the face of what he described as a foreign plot against his nation journalist neil clark says it's no coincidence the word massacre is once again being used you may find some of the following images disturbing. we look to see who who said this it was opposition activists again and straight comes out condemn syria before we actually know what's going on and so it's pretty clear that there's an agenda here is to blacken the syrian

government and to use it on the pretext for intervention it's happened before it happened again a great. massacres always seem to happen just want to point you and me to we've got to ask ourselves why it's all about the likes of william hague and hillary clinton trying to book pressure on russia trying to change their positions and so before we get any independent verification of what's going on we get these calls from these hawks to say look you know it's murdering his own people we've got to intervene and then when the dust settles and we kind of information is not as clear cut as it appeared to be let's think back to who we were told that was the largest massacre we were told you know thousands dead hundreds dead hundreds of thousands of people killed and then we because it was a governor responsible later on we find that actually the rebels were responsible for much of the killing that it was a clear cut so we've got to be very very wary it's not a question of taking we with a pinch of salt i think going to take a lorry load of salt the very last thing the west wants consumer is they want the very last they want forcible regime change and we've already got a democratic solution on hand in syria the constitution in syria we've got free

democratic elections that could be held there again opposition could take part in the book why doesn't the west want to go down these democratic elections park in syria because they know the fact parties to popular they know that if there were elections in syria tomorrow all the parties standing present sat right when and that's the last thing they want so they've got to they've got actually to bomb their way to the government that they want because they won't get any other way. one of the lead here or not you will be talked to a german left wing politician couldn't he says his government has revealed its to face nature when it comes to the conflict in syria. officially there don't take sides some ensure the. human rights. repression within the country sure enough but officially them are taking any other sides with the rebel to whatever got informally and we see it from their involvement you know with the spice upon the ground and other stuff and they invite three and petitions for the time thereafter and train them here so officially they seem to take sides but it's unclear to me

who they are so somebody selected people and i don't know on the basis of which criteria i have no clue i mean we now have been invited for final discussion by margaret i mean how can you train some people and other smart i mean we left party 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. when you can see the full interview with german left wing politician young van auken in just over an hour from now here on. israel's spoke to run a hundred international pro palestinian activists from crossing into the west bank from jordan who are trying to bring school supplies to children in bethlehem's refugee camps but the incident is not the only one involving palestinian children israeli soldiers are being accused of

a longstanding culture of abuses paula slim now reports. 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 opera 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 damning conclusions that were reached by two separate groups one being an eminent 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 as if they very often these children are put into solitary confinement they are treated and abused 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 every week and the big salad which is a palestinian village villagers 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 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 and what was done grenades so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding a been criticised on a number of fronts portly art. well earlier i talked to stoller he's a former soldier in the israeli army and now a member of the breaking the silence rights group which blew the whistle on abuses by israeli soldiers and he recalls incidents when his regiment use children as human shields during his service. well it looks as if we have a technical problem there we hope to bring that comment a little later to you here on our t.v. later this hour now still to come for you the hunt for runaway rioters two women from the russian punk band pussy riot have reportedly fled the country to escape

arrest and recruit new members. sister come protest against radical islam hit germany streets with demonstrators saying they want to test the muslim community's appearance to be country's civil rights. so when that story come for you this but first iran says it's trying to help forge solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues at a summit in tehran over one hundred developing nations which don't consider themselves aligned to the u.s. are taking part iran says it will discuss a comprehensive package to resolve the crisis in syria it's also calling on participants to oppose western sanctions over to iran's nuclear program egypt's new president is attending the gathering the first gyptian leader to visit iran in over three decades u.n. secretary general ban ki moon will also visit the spot attempts by washington to play down the summits importance of showing political analysts from hong kong city university says the u.s.

is losing ground internationally. the fact that the summit is now in turkey iran and well as members of the non allied rules mainstays including countries like . egypt and so on certainly is very much against the first scenario of the united states washington d.c. actually soon understand that it is rather fluid tool excerpt pressure on didn't on my money and since it has to be worth about you certainly doesn't look good on the obama administration and there's certainly we've fracs that brought strain of countries desiring more independence more influence than i think most foot will governments understand by free fully following the american nine they may support. seventeen afghan

civilians have been beheaded by insurgents for taking part in the music event of the taliban controlled area this amid two days of violence which left a total of twenty nine people dead in afghanistan earlier on sunday two american troops were shot dead by an afghan colleague while in a separate attack ten local soldiers were killed at the checkpoint political analyst sultanzoy says it's an alarming trend. there are pockets of unrest and pockets of stability but of course every news of this kind rattles everybody and it also reminds us of how fragile everything is and it is a double edged sword on one hand the taliban are trying to portray their presence and they're trying to score on the other had also these kinds of trustees remind the population that if if people are beheaded because they were listening to music then what will happen if these guys come to power one of the things that we always

look at is that talking about whether they will take control and they probably don't want to take control all they want to do is disrupt and disrupt in the strap in demoralize and and debilitate the government's capabilities to perform and to deliver and then they have reached their goal and then after that they probably don't even have a vision beyond that. just to remind you more stories on our website don't come online all the time right there now at the moment to al qaeda members serving life for plotting terror attacks in the u.k. the country's intelligence service to the european court of human rights as they claim m i five was complicit in that torture. was a trainee priest in belgium will have to undergo psychiatric training to prevent cases of paedophilia in churches and find out the details at all to dot com.

is exactly. true. two pussy riot members who've been on the run from authorities reportedly fled russia wanted for questioning over their part and performance in the country's main orthodox cathedral which has landed three of their fellow activists in jail meanwhile defense lawyers of the convicted have appealed against the two year prison sentences counties lucy reports. according to unconfirmed reports two members of the punk bands the punk band have reportedly fled the country. to in order to avoid prosecution and potential questioning over their participation in

a very controversial stunt at the christ the savior speech which you can see behind me that really really stirred international attention now post by the pussy riot group twitter feed it looks like the two women are planning on supposedly quote recruiting foreign minister for new options although remains to be seen what that actually means and entails now we have to remember back on august seventeenth three members of the punk band were convicted on charges of hooliganism sentenced to two years for their controversial stunt the movie really divided opinion here within russia and also raised some serious criticism of the russian government abroad this was a political stunt is certainly worked as we've seen another group called famine in ukraine which had cut down and are orthodox cross they're following that action more crosses were actually cut down so regardless of how the pussy riot story plays out it does seem like it is sparking similar action and story is certainly not

dying down any time today. demonstrators have taken their grievances to the doorsteps of mosques in the country they've been brandishing caricature of the prophet muhammad which spoke to volman backlash the first time they appeared in denmark. has been following events the demonstrators in germany display cover to choose of the prophet muhammad 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 and resulted in violence around the world since the publication in two thousand and five. behind the pro. say that they're doing this to gauge the willingness of the islamic community to out here to german law difficult you and me your office 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 our 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 a reaction elsewhere though in egypt a man tossed four 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 obviously. this is not the slimy quilts 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.

right wing groups say that muslims aren't the enemy their problem is with government policy which they claim allows islamic extremism safe haven within german borders and if there were not a quiet our message is clear it's not the kebab solar but the politicians following false policies who are your enemy they're the ones letting slummy extremists thrive here the incident with the cartoons isn't the first time german courts of past controversial judgement 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 then 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 party. well to some international headlines now in our world update this hour the libyan interior minister has resigned in protest to criticism over the government's failure to stop sectarian violence this after so if the religious sites were

destroyed by salafi islamist sectarian clashes have risen since the end of the eight month civil war that toppled colonel gaddafi the country is currently ruled by an elected general national congress. a drive by shooting by unknown gunmen has claimed the life of at least one activist in the second major city one hundred protesters gathered in the city center demanding reforms after last year's toppling of ali abdullah saleh whom all five suspected al qaeda members were arrested in the country's terror plagued southern region the crackdown comes as a backlash to the attack on yemen's intelligence headquarters that left twenty one dead last week. the tropical storms hit the florida keys and is now targeting the northern gulf coast of the united states state of emergency was declared in four states and some fifty three thousand residents have been urged to evacuate tropical storm isaac is predicted to bring winds of over one hundred mph by the time it reaches the coast in haiti the death toll from the storm has risen

to nineteen people with some fourteen thousand fleeing the disaster site. freedom of speech and journalism tend to go hand in hand but it's not a union that everyone supports in the united states for example the government's found its own methods of punishing reporters who oversees operations don't meet with the wishes of washington what is going to church can has a story. 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 raising for the particular of 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's disgraceful i do think those kind of smears indicate the stakes involved the cia remembers claiming that it killed the civilians in pakistan for more than a year and our reporting the reporting of many of the credible newspapers and 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 locker but he wrote back saying his editors prefer that he does not do any interviews on the. subject but as 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 admitted 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 and kind of check our reporting from washington. when it seems that gold is really glittering these days natasha has the business took a small natascha well done fairly it's glitter is absolutely irresistible it's off the record highs it reached this monday but it's still expected to double in price

that's according to a metals expert tim mccutcheon. you have massive amounts of printing right now and it's been sort of very carefully and very well concealed to plug up deficits what people are sinking about any talk with the four thousand five hundred dollar enough argument is when the velocity of money does pick 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 be the churn over money goes down now once people sort of see there's 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 on the system and that's where you can get both price to go right but as i understand gold prices have been mostly driven all only by the belief that this

is a safe house and 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 ministry very very few people actually have gold in their investment portfolios very people very few people have gold is there 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 who's 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 stock has happened. and it's time now to check out the markets and though let's go straight to of russia and see how it ended its trading session and as you can see it ended the session with the wall says it has slipped into red after mining giant oval solid down just a second quarter of

a losses and crude failed to all. offer its support to the russian equities it's feeling the pinch of this speculations that the united states could release crude from its strategic reserves to really level off of the prices jumped as much as eight dollars a barrel for the w t i that would boost the oil supply and hence drive the prices down now onto the currency market the ruble closed mixed it was stronger to the dollar but weaker to the european currency and the euro itself was under pressure as some german politicians talked about the cost though a temporary greece exit from the euro zone whatever that concept for me and a europe the footsie was closed for a holiday the dax and did the trading session was pretty have two losses about one percent greece is tightening its belts the country's prime minister will sell two
