all. syria's rebels declare civilian a paltai their latest target and along that international flights shooting stray anyway near the country's two largest cities. turkey's push for a no fly zone over syria says activists rarely as far away as germany voted for and against the assad regime. actions will speak louder than words in israel as the country launches a massive war propaganda campaign along with emergency drills. lots of the

sponsor getting attention for all the wrong reasons at the london paralympics anger among disability activists as a forum which they say humiliates them as a key backer of the games. you're watching aren't t a live from moscow with me to bang with a civilian a ports in syria in the crosshairs of the country's largest rebel group the free syrian army in a statement on its facebook page the group said that the a pulled from damascus and aleppo were hosting military flights as part of an alleged arms smuggling networks of the government earlier this month of the rebels were handed to dozens of the film was made and to air missile launches the delivery thought to have been carried out by the rebels western backers via turkey strong

condemnation of the editor of the independent websites to tribunals says the rebels' tactics are beyond the pale. that they are attacking civilian airports now is just one more. 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 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 at the moment the free syrian army is not heavily armed well enough to win any battle against the syrian army of 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 many foreign military intervention in syria would spell total disaster for the peace effort in the

country that's according to u.n. peace envoy to syria a lot of brahimi who made a statement just a day after taking the baton from his predecessor coffee a nun and a large looks on a boy who reports it's a position echoed by moscow. meanwhile russian foreign minister officials have already commented on this latest development the deputy foreign minister again not a good deal of sad that perhaps like this is a direct result of the you responsible to arm syrian rebels in the mean time because russia's foreign minister your brother was talking to you. thank you once again reiterating 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 the capitulation of just the government forces in syria while at the same time urging the opposition continue fighting this position is based on the

front with these forces already to play in extra price which will be a huge number of human lives 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 free democratic stable stay where the main disagreement lies on the means of which being 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 reason pushes for military intervention in syria via a no fly zone have mobilized both pro and anti assad crowds around the world in germany's financial capital of frankfurt about a thousand demonstrators gathered demanding an end to foreign meddling in the civil war across one m.p. to oliver was at the rally. well here in frankfurt in the square in front of the opera house a crowd of around a thousand people have gathered to demonstrate against foreign military

intervention in syria they've been waving the flag of the syrian government at the moment the thirteenth syrian flag also bearing signs with the face of president bashar al assad they've been shouting their slogans in favor of the president and his boss policy however there is a small number of assad's. protesters just over there now there were some heated clashes earlier on between the two groups police have now moved in to separate them but the vast majority of people as i say just around a thousand it is growing throughout the day as this protest continues here they are against foreign military intervention they are in favor of bashar al assad they've come out here today to frankfurt to voice our opinion. we are here to expose the lies about syria that the being shown to the rest of the wood the dead that are being shown were killed by terrorists and blamed. sponsored

by needs of the us. now you can stay up to date with the details and peter's twitter stream they hear reports coming syrian x. pads are demanding an end to interference in their homeland but also citizens in neighboring states follow peter twitter is a faint a formal. there appears to be a wolf in a sheep's clothing among those who finance london's paralympics activists and that for my kids of rushing the lives of thousands of disabled people and trying to burnish his image by sponsoring the gangs artie's laura smith reports on what exactly caused the outrage. the paralympics are the ultimate display of troy 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 toss it's the firm the government is 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 naturally the old many of them sponsoring the paralympics is i think is really lost on them and he seems to divide people into the serving to save and the un to serving tony bradstock went through an at orsa c'est mint which resulted in him losing his entire income for six months he says he was made to feel like a criminal in the process resulted in him attempting suicide that. was going for the world and. this was it. because we sit

and watch the explosions what more occupational health doctor if say she took a break because i couldn't find any why i took a roof over my head. any y.i.t. he's not alone pressure groups a thirty two people die a week after being found to work by at elves disabled people and other activists have travelled here from all over the country to protest against actresses sponsorship of our lives next day you know you see it in the admiration of the paralympics themselves but say an organization they feel was actually ordinary disabled people should play no part in this event. 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 made decisions on people's benefit in title meant or on welfare

policy but we will continue to make sure that the service we provide is as highly professional and compassionate is it can be. but disability activists say that just passing the buck and that is sponsorship of the games gives it a whitewash it doesn't deserve they're trying to clean up very big age by trying to associate themselves with sports. just so disability and people's activity has really given the other side. health problems for once thank you michael moore team g.b. athletes appeared to highlight the branding on the paralympic accreditation during the opening ceremony but activists say that's not enough when at or soon the government expect to cause a round hole for a million people to lose their independent living benefits in the next four years lurie smith r.t. . still ahead for you in the program the u.s.

and israel are left embarrassed as more than one hundred nations support iran's atomic program as experts believe the country needs it as a repellant against international military aggression. right also echoes of war in the black sea munitions dump to in the waters seventy years ago are still threatening all these hot spots. well one hundred nations have unanimously supported iran's nuclear program as long as it's useful peaceful purposes after the nun aligned movement wrapped up into run it amounts to a resoundingly slap in the face with the u.s. and israel who've been trying to downplay the role of the gathering the latest report issued during the summit it claimed iran's doubled its nuclear capacity by installing new uranium enrichment centrifuges to run they rejected the document

saying it was all politically motivated jump political analyst eric draitser things the i.a.e.a. has never been an impartial. 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 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 i.a.e.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 l. barra die or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law saying mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran says iran would have never launch a nuclear program but why 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 scented opposed senior figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in addition the president. came to iran which is a political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enrichment at twenty

percent for her so if he's in tehran we should then produce medical isotopes the fact that the united states and the europeans tried to prevent iran from obtaining this fuel in the past met that meant that they were taking iran and cancer patients hostage the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce your aenima twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but americans and the europeans by taking iraq citizens and people hostage for sea iranians to take that 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 the 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 simulates missile attacks and as artie's policy reports war preparations have also moved to the ideological arena. this fifteen page emergency brochure is being distributed by the israeli army across the country and it puts iran the smiling face on a very serious and grim statistic the bush take about what people should do in a state of emergency it says that there is a need for a plan we told the families to get together and talk about what to do if this country is in a state of crisis at the same time because that anywhere between fifty fifty and three minutes is the time frame that israelis will have from the moment fire and 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 now that russia doesn't make any mention of any kind of any rant but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who suggested that it is really the latest statement 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 israeli strikes on the run parallel to the brochure there is an advert that is planking on israeli television and it shows the way 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 this stage take a bite out of the chocolate hazelnut 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 might save if operation for the missiles start to fall guy and you have those who want to move the situation and 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 to me that the official line to be from the government in terms of. this brochure and when we spoke on it was that it is nothing more than just the general public awareness campaign people need from know what to do in a state. where the. right you the two runners of the u.s. presidential race are desperately trying to outwit outmaneuver one another to win the hearts and minds of americans. if you want to get out absolutely none of it why not i hate the republicans you know watch the democratic convention probably not why not i don't need to murder do variations even care as artie's resident to use roaming the streets of new york committed to fever. thousands of protesters have occupied the main highway leading to behind the

capital to demand greater freedoms and a democratic government the demonstrators held up banners and flags urging the release of jailed the dissidents including human rights activist and a bill ridge ob following the story we're joined by cullen covello a former political studies professor at the university of the rain thank you so much for joining us on mr. cavell now branches of the brain have been going on for eighteen months now and have seen lot of clampdowns from the government do you see this boiling over into a new phase of the arab spring. bang the people of bahrain a resolute they cannot be pacified any longer they two hundred twenty nine year. monarchy and the monarchy has become increasingly just. a club they are corrupt and the people demand democracy they have demonstrated time and again over

the past eighteen months since february of two thousand and eleven that they want the monarchy to go they want the king and the royal family to abdicate to lead bahrain they want democracy they want to make their own rules they want to rule their own lives they want their own responsibility and accountability there too hard of a single family running the engine our country with general courts with no justice at all and with disparity amongst the population so you know that the u.s. has been supporting boss rains a regime you know of course as the fifteenth base in the country i think going to maintain their support a stance in the face of growing protests that we've seen the last couple of months . well. the united states wants to retain its edge amount of control not only a little bahrain but over the entire persian gulf monarchs in the entire middle east in order to keep that crude oil flowing which we have relied upon since the

famous deal with president franklin delano roosevelt and nine hundred forty five in the great bitter like of egypt within the leader of saudi arabia so they want to keep that all flowing they want to retain their demonic control however they realize that was increasing democratic opposition in all of these countries that they can no longer rely on these autocratic dictators to maintain control and this is particularly true in bahrain where the population three quarters of the population are out of. in the streets on a regular basis telling the government to lead saying we are no longer in support of monarchy we don't respect you and we don't fear you anymore you've got officers and leaders that rise up the regime put them in jail and the new ones rise up so what the u.s. is doing with president barack obama is to replace these autocratic despot we

started with the north african regime egypt mubarak was removed in egypt we've been only go khadafi go. the regime in yemen go and so now if iraq obama is reelected and november sixth of this year then he will simply is a demonic transition these regimes and the now let me just jump in there because we are short of time and i want to get serious some of these questions with you just think we have this story about range jailed a human rights activist nabby already jab seems to be repeating itself in saudi arabia way to activists ickes of plotting against the state how common is this kind of sheet wind of dissidents in the region. it's very common mom america ternium saudi arabia is on trial to very forcefully not a human rights organization that's our common to do even if you speak your out any type of rights you're merely put in jail you're immediately subjected to torture

many times and often kill and saudi arabia is particularly harsh there's a case right now in saudi arabia and egypt in woman who is being on a repeated basis simply because she got on the wrong side of one of their royals in some very despotic regime the us knows they cannot contain the democratic forces there are now erupting all over the middle east well let's leave it right there we've just run out of time which we had more time to speak colleen cavell former political studies a professor at the university of bahrain thank you for speaking to us here on r.t. . the beaches of ukraine's crimea draw thousands of tourists every summer however recent underwater discovery may compromise the results of long established reputation. finds out how far the authorities will go to keep inconvenient effects 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 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 an identifiable creations of the rhine five hundred in twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles officially expired meaning that starting from two thousand and eleven these containers to start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be unimaginable

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 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 usually what it meant was that cement tally barrack rats who come in for a year or two now office and don't want this problems on their hands meanwhile more and more kids return from this virus infections from crimea summer holidays and this is definitely caused by travel project state of the sea water cools and says

lifting those containers from the bottom of the sea is impossible they will fall apart that's why experts suggest a different solution. does 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 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 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 ukraine now moscow celebrating thirty day marking the anniversary of with eight hundred sixty fifth and on our website you can see some

of the festivities. brian was fortis from red square the way an animal military music festival took place combined with the flushing parade uniting of the two military units from all over the world on our website. both online and how one of the world's falses developing markets has become a battlefield germany ready to join the economic war between china and the u.s. at the wrangle over the price of so many. clouds t.v. race route and new bridges sitcom about a family of pakistani immigrants stirred up a storm of complaints from muslim viewers.

the u.s. presidential race is heating up with fresh maneuvering two months before the election republican mitt romney has slammed his rival barack obama for his handling of foreign affairs but wasn't turning out accused of paying little attention to troops in afghanistan but how much should americans really care for pretexting exchanges artie's resident is in 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 not because i don't like either one of those guys so you don't watch and you don't vote and that's that you know i do vote but i

don't like voting for the worst 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 it all absolutely none of it why now 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 a sad at the conventions or a say just kind of b.s. but i think it's sort of you know it sounds good on camera do you think how these conventions actually do anything. 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 terms i think most of europeans are through 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 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 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 let's face it ok. literal 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 they went. yes. just so it seems like most people aren't even watching but if you do decide to tune in remember to watch it for what it is extremely calculated very expensive showmanship.
