serials rumbles declare civilian airports are there along with the latest target and warn that international flights shouldn't stray anywhere near the country's two largest cities. actions speak louder than words in israel as the country launches a massive more propaganda campaign along with emergency drills. plus the sponsor getting attention for all the wrong reasons at the london paralympics anger

among disability activists as a firm which they say humiliates them as a key backer of the games. hello and welcome to you r t i'm karen tara broadcasting to you live from our studio in moscow now civilian airports in syria all are in the crosshairs of the country's largest rebel group the free syrian army in a statement made on its facebook page the group said that the airports in damascus and aleppo were hosting military flights as part of an alleged arms smuggling network for the government earlier this month the rebels were handed dozens of lethal u.s. made anti air missile launchers the delivery thought to have been carried out by

the rebels and western backers and yet turkey drew a strong condemnation the editor of the independent website syria try view says the rebels those tactics are beyond the pale. 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 i'm actually surprised they are still enjoying this support when the international community says they're able slaughtering people civilian people in the street and throwing them from their office and still support them this gives the wrong message to the rebels that whatever they do they will still enjoy this twisted support at the moment the free syrian army is not heavily armed well enough to win any battle against the syrian army or 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 endangered the lives of many syrian people. the syrian rebels new threat to target airports isn't going down well with

the international community including russia in moscow our foreign minister sergey lavrov reiterated that the path to peace does not lie in arming one faction or the other. guy has the details. meanwhile russian foreign ministry officials have already commented on this latest development the deputy foreign minister again not a good deal of sad about rats like these is a direct result of the irresponsible policies to arm syrian rebels in the meantime his boss russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov was talking to you to try if you once again reiterated that if international players are really interested in trying to put and to bloodshed that they should apply pressure on both sides of this conflict. those demanding that could be just the government forces in syria while at the same time urging the opposition continue fighting since this position is

based on the these forces already to play in the extra price which will be a huge number of human lloyd's to go abroad he also sad that when it comes to goals international goals in syria russia has absolutely no disagreement with the west russia also wants to see syria as free democratic stable state where the main disagreement lies on the means of what shipping that goal and whether it could be done through violence and armed with this international intervention or whether it could be done through diplomatic efforts and internal syrian dialogue and that's are. there only recently returned from syria she says what she witnessed can only be described as a split among the country's opposition. who wasn't only along ideological lines but two and her article on r.t. dot com oksana explains very different matters and broach to the conflict you can

read that and much much more at our dot com. what's usually seen as a celebration of both physical and moral courage has been marred by controversy the disabled community is finding it difficult to swallow the fact that london's paralympics off sponsored by a company they blame for damaging hundreds of lives parties laura smith has more. 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 they are making money out of other people's misery quite literally the old many of them sponsoring the paralympics is this i think is really lost on them and he seems to divide people into the serving disabled 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 to session is going for the world it's possible i would say this because if it. was because they said explosion watch it's because of what moral composure well stuck to it shades are she took a great knowledge from all this because i couldn't find any why i took the roof

over my head or not appreciate any y.i.t. he's not alone pressure groups a thirty two people died a week after being found to work by at us disabled people and other activists have travelled here from all over the country to raise test against actresses bonsa shipment of our lives next day you really see it in that admiration the paralympian themselves but say an organization and they feel was actually ordinary disabled people should play no part in this so take it back. in a statement the company defends its practices and policies 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 on welfare policy but to continue to make sure the disservice super wide is a heavily professional and compassionate as it can be. but disability activists say that's just passing the buck and that his sponsorship of the games gives it

a whitewash it doesn't deserve they're trying to clean up very major by trying to associate themselves with sport and you know this is so disability and keep those activities that's really given the other side about how how strong floats thank you know michael to my team g.b. athletes appeared to highlight the. power olympic accreditation juror in the opening ceremony but activists say that's not enough when at last 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. all right still ahead for you and the program the u. wasn't real on left embarrassed as more than one hundred nations support their wrongs atomic program as i expect to believe the country needs it as

a repellant against international military aggression. also ackles of war and the black sea munitions dumped in the water seventeen years ago are still threatening to force hotspots. the educated.

news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operational day. here with our team and more than a hundred nations have you know none of misleads supported iran's nuclear program as long as it's used for peaceful purposes after the nonaligned movement wrapped up

and wrong it amounts to a resulting slap in the face for the u.s. and israel who've been trying to downplay the role of the gathering the latest report issued during the summit claimed iran's doubled its nuclear capacity by installing new you rein him in richmond centrifuges though rejected the document saying it was all politically motivated geo political analyst eric draitser thinks the i.a.e.a. has never been an impartial body. the iranians do it partially for self-preservation they also do it for propaganda purposes and to lend themselves clout on the world stage they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as it is now accepted international law so i think that's the first one the second one of course is the geo political reality that they look around them you look at the map and they see

that they are surrounded literally on all sides by the united states or various allies of the united states and the principle is quite clear that the united states will invade nations that do not have the threat of nuclear weapons and the united states does not invade the nations that do have that threat the. a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a. is always led by us produced think tank individuals like eldora die or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law. mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tampa says iran would have never launched a nuclear program but for international pressure. the iranians are saying that this report came at a sensitive time to sort of distract attention away from this iranian success the

nonaligned movement. conference in tehran has been highly successful instead of iran being isolated the united states has become isolated centered opposed to senior figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in addition the president of egypt came to iran which is a political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enriched uranium at twenty percent for facilities in tehran which then produces medical isotopes the fact that the united states and the europeans tried to prevent iran from obtaining the fuel in the past 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 twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but the americans and the europeans by taking iranian citizen. people hostage

forced the iranians to take that step 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 now washington seems reluctant to endorse a strike on iran israel is getting all geared up for it people in tel aviv have been practicing emergency drills which simulate missile attacks and those are just possibly are now reports war preparations also move to the ideological arena. this fifteen page emergency brochure is being distributed by the israeli army across the country and it puts a raw the smiling face on very serious and grim statistics the brush of hate about what people should do in a state of emergency it says that there is a need for family to take the family should get together and talk about what to do

if this country is in a state of crisis at the same time if it's at 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 here and also going to people to go and check that they bomb shelters up to scratch how the pressure doesn't make any mention of any kind of you want to rant but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who suggested that it is really the day to day by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly for that kind of rhetoric coming out of these maybe political elites 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 is lighting on israeli television and it shows the west in general we sit with these maybe army officers and they're trying to convince him to give their support 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 he has given them the green light for this operation and for the missile stock to fall by and you have those who want to move the situation the israelis so we 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 question and when we but the only one that it is nothing more than just the general public awareness campaign people need to know what to do in a state. what is the level. of our team and still to come this hour in a sense or impunity human rights activists who lash out at washington strive to put

an end to the probe into the cia's interrogation tactics they say torture is being swept under the rug. the beaches of ukraine's crimea draw thousands of tourists every summer however a recent underwater discovery may compromise the resort's long established reputation. he finds out how far the authorities will go to keep inconvenient facts from surfacing. locals in the crimea admit that the tourist season this year may have been better but still we're talking hundreds of thousands of stories from all over the world who have come here for summer holidays but none of them are aware that swimming in the sea here might actually be dangerous this summer dozens of 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 archives suggest one thousand two hundred containers are scattered around the crimean coast we have find in identifiable kitchens of around five hundred in twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles officially expired meaning that starting from twenty eleven these containers can start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be on imaginable he breathed gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological ward. dog firmly denies this threat even exists. are divers and specialists from the interior ministry check the bottom of the sea or the board tories 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 kusa 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 you ship it with it now that sim intelli barrack rats 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 this virus infections from crimea's summer holidays and this is definitely caused by travel project state of the sea water cooler says lifting those containers from the bottom of the sea is impossible they will fall apart that's why experts suggest a different solution if. there's a technology which allows to see all these containers all for seven hundred years underground succumb 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. alexy rush of ski or see reporting from crimea ukraine the two runners in the u.s. presidential race are desperately trying to outwit and outmaneuver one another when the hearts and minds of americans. but the question is do voters even care r t a's resident asks people on the roaming streets of new york amid of that pre-election fever now in other news the u.s. justice department has ended a long running probe into the cia's brutal treatment of detainees without filing any charges the last remaining cases involved the killings of two terror suspects

were tortured to death in the agency's facilities in iraq and afghanistan the investigators say they didn't have enough evidence but some experts believe it might have been destroyed on purpose. the cia destroyed some of the tepes that in itself is a criminal action that that itself shouldn't been pursued. would be pursued some time but this has been no you know this is still the george w. bush administration's activities being carried on by the obama administration actions as. the lead prosecutor on this. done and wasn't committed by me casey who was appointed under george w. bush who was one of the neo cons who. was very put anti terror and islamic in the number of respects so we're seeing the same kind of thing going on under those who ordered them and those who covered up those who ordered the coverup

they should be in court we should be investigating them all right it's twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow it's time now for a look at some other stories from around the world. a double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan has claimed at least thirteen lives including nine civilians more than fifty others were also wounded a bomber on foot was followed by a truck driven by another attacker whose device exploded shortly after afterwards the taliban have already claimed responsibility for the blasts. thousands of protesters have occupied the main highway leading to capital to demand greater freedoms and a democratic government demonstrators held up banners and flags urging the release of jailed activists leaders a shia majority state which is ruled by

a western backed sony dynasty has been hit by rest and protests for over a year. and the u.s. the presidential race is heating up with fresh maneuvering two months before the election republican candidate mitt romney has paid a sudden visit to the gulf coast areas hit by hurricane isaac stealing a march on barack obama he's planning his trip there on monday romney had earlier slammed his rival for his handling of foreign affairs while obama's staff criticize romney for paying little attention to troops in afghanistan the question is how much do americans really care for pre election exchanges artie's resident is in new york to find out.

in the u.s. republicans and democrats are holding their national conventions and they hear the media and politicians talk about them 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 not because i don't like either one of those guys so you don't watch and you don't vote i meant that you know i do but i like voting for the we're . not the worst of the two. but do you need to watch the conventions to be informed no it's all crappy of you watching it all absolutely none of it why not i hate the republicans are you going to watch the democratic convention probably not why. now i don't need to do you think there is actual information being said sad at the conventions or a say just kind of b.s. but i think it's sort of you know sounds good on camera do you think. conventions actually do anything no. 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 pro obama and that's it and you don't need to watch any of the bad now if you really want to show us that i was really i mean congress or us are smarter than that that was really awful i'm sure that's what irritates me is that these people aren't too bad she really think we're stupid what are they covering up well that 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 elite let's face it. people that are out for themselves that's it i give up on it but don't they win 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 that they 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. next we talked to foreign affairs expert and german left wing politician jambon about the western agenda in syria.
