builds its war rhetoric against top we look at how a military that is helping the israeli population prepare for a reciprocal attack. hello and welcome to our team karen taraji starting your saturday off here in moscow we go now to our top story the rebel free syrian army is threatening to attack civilian airports in the country's biggest city the fighters say the government is using the halls in aleppo and damascus for military planes let's now talk to dr ali mohamed the editor in chief of independent website syria tribe which has been monitoring the crisis since it started dr mohammad thank you for joining us so the syrian opposition is warning foreign not to use the airports in damascus and aleppo

now could these foreign planes come under attack from the opposition targeting the government aircraft. first it is no proof that. they will only be targeting the government aircrafts they said they will be targeting civilian aircraft and i don't think they have the means to to distinguish which are government ones and which are not. the rebels saying that they are attacking civilian airports now is just one more step in revealing that actual terrorist nature because it's against every law in the world to attack civilian airports for whatsoever reasons and the fact that the they are of bragging about it shows that maybe they acquired anti-aircraft weapons from their supporting countries and of course when these weapons reach terrorists you can always expect them to use them that way that what entire getting foreign aircraft lead to the rebels really losing the international support that they currently enjoy. i'm actually surprised they are still enjoying the support

when the international community sees the rebels slaughtering people civilian people in the street and throwing them from the roof and still support them this gives the wrong message to the rebels that whatever they do they will still enjoy this twisted support the fact that they are still enjoying the support indicates a big problem either in the media that shows what's happening in syria or in the international community itself now russia has again warned that foreign nations they have warned foreign nations against pushing for regime change in syria and all the while urging the opposition to go on fighting let's listen to what foreign minister lavrov had to say. fighting rages it's just not realistic to only demand one side to capitulate it's not about ideology we're not clean to a regime or a certain actor in the syrian conflict we're just talking here about what is realistic and what is not but those who are demanding the government stop fighting

while at the same time urging the armed opposition to continue the battle these forces are ready to pay an extra price which will be a huge number of human lives. dr mohammad after listening to love of the words there just how critical our foreign powers support to the rebels in terms of continuing the conflict it's very critical i think the only reason their bills are contained are still fighting until today is because they enjoy the logistic weapon and financial support from many countries. what mr lavrov said is very important how can you ask their national army in any country in the world to stop fighting the rebels that you would recognize the existence and since they are there what do you expect the army to do and if you really care for the welfare of the syrian people you should the minimum you should do is ask both sides to stop fighting now there have been allegations that nations like saudi arabia and qatar

are supplying the syrian opposition with anti-aircraft missiles just how have only armed would you say is the free syrian army at the moment. at the moment the free syrian army is not heavily armed well enough to win any battle against the syrian army the syrian official army just like what has been happening in the past months but it is definitely have really aren't enough to harm civilians and to endanger the lives of many syrian people. these countries keep sending money and weapons and also what they call logistics support or means of communication which are used to mainly to broadcast atrocities they commit against civilians and while the. countries know this is no match for the syrian army poses a very serious question what exactly do you want by sending these and that's what it is and now very briefly because we are running out of time i do want to get this last question in turkey and its western allies are now pushing for foreign

protected safe zones inside syria it's a move that would certainly amount to foreign intervention now on kata says it needs to protect civilians what's your take on that. it's actually funny how can you protect civilians by imposing war you want to protect civilians you have to stop for and stop the war starts with stopping the influx of the influx of. money to the rebels and the fact that they are thinking of a safe zone is a big. media. media shake i'm sorry big media media tactic because you cannot start for and end up with civilians are out after i'm a harm of the editor in chief of independent websites or try to be and thank you for your time to get. their answer taken steps to change its image as an international outcast one hundred nations have offer their support over its controversial nuclear program the final declaration of the summit of nonaligned

states hosted by to iran backed the right for all countries to develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes while the gathering was being held at the u.n. nuclear watchdog released its latest report accusing iran of increasing your rein him in richmond. finding suggests the number of centrifuges at one of iran's facilities has more than doubled attack iran has dismissed the document as politically motivated so mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran thinks it's unlikely the timing is purely coincidental. the iranians are saying that this report came out a tentative time to sort of distract attention away from the iranian success the nonaligned movement. conference in tehran has been highly successful. iran being isolated the united states have become isolated centered opposed senior figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in

addition the president of iran which is. political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enriched uranium at twenty percent for facilities in iran we should then produce medical isotopes the fact that the united states and the europeans tried to prevent iran from obtaining that fuel in the past meant that meant that they were taking the iranian cancer patients hostage the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce it you aenima twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but the americans and the europeans by taking in citizen and. people hostage forced the iranians to take that the politicians senior politicians really know that an attack on iran would be devastating for the united states and not only for its economy but for its

global position and its credibility despite washington clearly not favoring military confrontation with iran israel isn't ruling it out major drills simulating missile strikes in case of a war with the islamic state have been held in tel aviv and those emergency exercises are not the only way israelis are being prepared for an attack as our middle east correspondent paula slayer found out. this fifteen page emergency brochure is being distributed by the israeli army across the country and it puts of on the smiling face on very serious and grim statistics the crush of hate about what people should do in a state of emergency it is that there is a need for a family to take the family should get together and talk about what to do if the country is in a state of crisis at the same time if there's anywhere between fifty fifty and three minutes is the time frame that israelis will have from the moment fire when found until there is

a state of emergency care and also there are just people to go and check that they bomb shelters up to scratch how the pressure doesn't make any mention of any kind of any rand but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who suggested that it is really the way to hit by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly we've heard that kind of rhetoric coming out of these maybe political elite some officials have said that we're looking at a civilian conference some five hundred people in any kind of war that would follow and it's raining strike on the run parallel to the brochure there is an advert that you're writing on israeli television and it shows a with some general research with these maybe army offices and then trying to convince him to give this to put in an israeli attack on an enemy state presumably the ranch the general at that stage take a bite of the chocolate hazelnut that sitting in front of him and he said something along the lines of let's go nuts which the israelis misinterpret to mean that we

have given them the green light for this operation and for the missiles start to fall right and you have those who want to move the situation the israelis to me have been putting up there with me and it does seem as if there is something on the go we have heard some israeli politicians on record saying that a strike on iran is going to happen soon but the official line to be from the government in terms of. this procedure and when we thought was that it is nothing more than just a general public awareness campaign that people need to know what to do in a minute what is. still at all on our team i start a link discovery and see what have exposed hundreds of thousands of summer tourists to dangerous chemicals plus. have you been watching not at all why not because i don't like either one of those guys with america's election season coming

his friends don't talk t.v. don't come. thank you for joining our team the power alum big games in london are underway but thousands of athletes to find disabilities just to compete but among the sponsors is a company which accused which is accused of leaving many physically impaired people to feed it and to check that artie's laura smith has the details. the paralympics are the ultimate display of triumph over adversity a showcase for people who've overcome their disabilities and achieved something amazing but hanging over this event is a shadow cast by may just sponsor at office it's the firm the government's paying to assess disabled people's ability to work but it's blamed for humiliating the

vulnerable and forcing people off benefits as part of the country's austerity drive but they are making money out of other people's misery quite naturally the old many of them sponsoring the paralympics sees this i think it's really lost on them and it seems to divide people into the serving to say and the un to serving tony bradstock went through an at orsa sesamoid which resulted in him losing his entire income for six months he says he was made to feel like a criminal and the process resulted in him attempting suicide at work i feel if your session intercession is going for the world it's possible i would say this because if it. was quickly said explosive watch exposure what more occupational health doctor a shade took a great knowledge of all this because i couldn't find any wire to cook with a roof over my head not from a cookie sheet anyway i'd say he's not alone pressure groups

a thirty two people died a week after being found fit to work by at offices disabled people and other activists have travelled here from all over the country to raise test against actresses sponsorship of the arab league makes their you really see it in the admiration of the paralympics themselves but say an organization then they feel was actually old and rude disabled people should play no part in this so take the bet. in a statement the company defends its practices and passes responsibility back to the government department for work and pensions which actually makes the final decision we do not make decisions on people's benefit entanglement or on welfare policy but to continue to make sure the disservice who grew wide is a halle professional and compassionate as it can be. but disability activists say that's just passing the buck and that at all says sponsorship of the games gives it a whitewash it doesn't deserve they're trying to clean up very image by trying to

associate themselves with sports and you know this is true disability and people's activity has really given the other side no help from floats thank you michael smith team g.b. athletes appeared to hide the branding on their power olympic accreditation jury in the opening ceremony but activists say that's not enough when a toss in the government expect to cause a round hole for a million people to lose their independent living benefits in the next four years laura smith. and we've got more news on the paralympic games for you at our website r.t. dot com as well as some other stories you may have missed on the air. insulting the owner of the devastatingly funny learn how a new british sitcom split the muslim audience in the u.k. . plus making money the easy way learn how

a talented swindler cheated billions of dollars out of the trust fall investors. charges were wont to be filed against dozens of cia officers accused of torturing two terror suspects to death detention facilities in iraq and afghanistan the u.s. justice department officially closed its investigation saying it didn't have enough evidence for a conviction alison weir from the counsel for the national interest believes the basic rules of law have been thrown out by washington. many of us feel that this is not the image that we are opposed to what went on and that there should be true justice and true pursuit of justice going on which we have not seen yet the cia destroying some of the tapes that in itself is a criminal action that that itself shouldn't been pursued. hopefully will be pursued some time so the fact that there may be some difficulty in gathering

evidence we don't know that's really the case but part of the difficulty certainly is because important evidence was destroyed there are still people in in the united states as well as around the world who are outreach to what's going. on but this has been a you know this is still the george w. bush administration's activities being carried on by the obama administration's actions as well i think they did expect that a great many liberals especially the conservatives to would be outraged at this violation of the rule of law and that's probably why this was announced as you say after you know a number of years that the announcement came the day before a major holiday in the united states the labor day holiday i don't think that that coincidence is by accident u.s. presidential nominee mitt romney closed out this year's republican national convention with some harsh criticism of iraq obama and his handling of foreign

affairs but did americans take any notice the resident as a new york to find out. in the us republicans and democrats are holding their national conventions and to hear the media and politicians talk about them that the most important things going on right now so who's watching and what have they seen this week let's talk about that have you been watching why now because i don't like either one of those guys so you don't watch and you don't vote and that's that no i do but i don't like voting for the word who's who's not the worst of the two. but do you need to watch the conventions to be informed know it's all crap have you been watching you know absolutely none of it why now but i hate the republicans you know watch the democratic convention probably not why not i don't need to do you think there is actual information being said is sad at the conventions or is a just kind of b.s.

but i think it's sort of you know sounds good on camera do you think that. conventions actually do anything you know. spend money our money our money how do you feel about that i don't like that. i do we get them to stop because you know romney's going to say leave town. the content is not so much the poor important as the outside how people perform that that's my first impression that people are choosing the heads not the i think most of europeans are through obama and that's it and you don't need to watch any of the badness. really want to show us that i was really i mean congress or us is smarter than that that was really awful i'm sure what better way irritates me is that these people aren't too bad she's really think we're stupid what are they covering up well she's a very intelligent lady but i mean she's she sat there for an hour striking mitt romney so you go well you know americans smarter than that you know that way i mean

america needs someone to stand up and take charge i think a little it's face it. for themselves that's it i give up on it but don't they when i mean you're not happy with the way things are going and so the solution you've chosen is to check out doesn't that mean they may win. yes. yes so it seems like most people aren't even watching but if you do decide to tune in and remember to watch it for what it is extremely calculated very expensive showmanship designed to influence the way you think whether or not that works is up to you. take a look at some other world news and pray for you this hour at least twelve people including ten civilians have been killed in central afghanistan a suicide attack near a local military base more than fifty others were also loaned it first a bomber on foot detonated himself apparently to clear the way for

dead dolphins washed up on crimean shores ecologists say this is down to an infection and the actions of local poachers but others have connected these deaths to something more sinister divers recently discovered these barrels containing poisonous gas which were dumped in the sea by the retreating soviet army prior to the nazi invasion of one nine hundred forty one if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be on imaginable he breed gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological watchdog firmly denies this threat even exists. are divers and specialists from the interior ministry check the bottom of the sea or the board tori's tested water for poisonous substances and we found nothing. but this recently declassified documents suggest the opposite in two thousand and four crimea's authorities urged private colleges to check the coastline for threats that is when those containers were found former m.p.

oleksandr couzin is probably the only politician in ukraine who is making comments on the issue because she says the authorities are deliberately keeping the public in the dark and europe it would get that cement tally kratz who come in for a year or two now face and don't want this problems on their hands meanwhile more and more kids who turn virus infections from crimea's summer holidays and this is definitely caused by travel projects state of the sea water cools and he says lifting those containers from the bottom of the sea is impossible they will fall apart that's why experts suggest a different solution. there's a technology which allows us to see all these containers all for seven hundred. years underground come for gases are constructed and put above the decaying barrels this would solve the problem. it is hard to estimate how much this kind of operation would cost but as long as these barrels are a threat to every black sea country key of would most certainly get international

aid should it appeal for help this year's tourist season has finished with no major incidents but some say that next year unless there's urgent political action the region may not be so lucky alexi russia of ski r.t. reporting from crimea in ukraine. to try and stay with our back at the recap of our top stories shortly.
