but it's blamed for humiliating the vulnerable and forcing people off benefits as part of the country's drive by are making money out of other people's misery quite naturally the old many of them sponsoring the paralympics is something that's 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 or sest moment 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 the. intercession is being free and. it's a disposable. strictly sit and watch the exposure of what moral compulsion will stop to it say it took a great noise from others because i couldn't find any why i took the roof over my head. i couldn't see any y.i.t. he's not so loaded question groups a thirty two people died

a week after being found pics to work by act of disabled people and all that to this have traveled here from all over the country very test against tosses sponsorship of the paralympics they you know you sit in that admiration for paralympic themselves but say an organization and they feel that she was old and rude disabled people should play no part in this 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 mean decisions on people's benefit entitle him and or in welfare policy who continue to make sure that the service we provide is as highly professional and compassionate is it can be but disability activists say that's just passing the buck and that his sponsorship of the games it's a whitewash it doesn't deserve they're trying to clean up very maids by trying to

associate themselves it's both ends you know this is so disability rights people's activity has really given the other side about how alcohol floats how they kill people like ultimate team g.b. athletes appeared to highlight the art or scrounging on the paralympic accreditation during the opening ceremony but activists say that sooner or not when it's all said the government expect to cause a round hole for the million people to do use their independent living benefit in the next four years. and you're with our team still ahead for you in the program the u.s. and israel are left embarrassed as more than one hundred nations supporting iran's atomic program as experts believe the country needs it as a weapon pellant against international military aggression. also echoes of war in the black sea munitions dumped in the water seventy years ago are still threatening

tourist hot spots. tens of thousands of protesters have occupied of the main highway leading to bahrain's capital manama to demand greater freedom and a democratic government the demonstrators held up banners and flags urging the release of jailed dissidents including human rights activist and. the shia majority state which is ruled by a western backed sunni dynasty hasn't been hit by an arrest and protests for over eighteen months the u.s. hasn't been supporting bahrain's regime with its fifth fleet based in the country colleen cavell a former political studies professor at the university of bahrain. it's getting difficult for washington to maintain its influence in the country. the united states wants to retain its edge amount of control not only a little bahrain but over the entire persian gulf monarchies in the entire middle east in order to keep that crude oil flowing however they realize that with increasing democratic opposition in all these countries that they can no longer

rely on the autocratic dictators to maintain control and this is particularly true in bahrain where the population three quarters of the population are out on the streets on a regular basis telling their government to leave saying we are no longer in support of monarchy we don't respect you and we don't fear you anymore 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 had ben ali go we had to go with. the regime in yemen go and so now if iraq obama is reelected and november sweeps of this year then he will complete edging monic transition leads regime more than one hundred nations have unanimously supported iran's nuclear program as long as it's used for peaceful purposes after

the nonaligned movement wrapped up in tehran and amounts to a resigning slap in the face for the u.s. and israel have been trying to downplay the role of the gathering the latest i.a.e.a. report issued during the summit claimed iran has doubled its nuclear capacity by installing new iranian enrichment centrifuges tehran rejected the document saying it was all politically motivated geo political analyst eric draitser think the i.a.e.a. has never been an impartial bot. 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. 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 di or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law cited mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran 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 scented opposed senior figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in addition the president of egypt came to the iran which is a political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enrichment at twenty percent for facilities in tehran which 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 iranian cancer patients hostage the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce uranium at twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but americans and the europeans by taking iranian citizens and people hostage for sea 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 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 simulate missile attacks and those archies policy or 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 around the smiling face on very serious and grim statistics the brochure take about what people should do in a state of emergency it says that there is a need for and 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 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 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 meat on the ranch but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who've suggested that it is really the day to day by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly we've heard that kind of recreated coming out of the israeli political elite some officials have said that we're looking at a civilian council 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 you might think on israeli television and it shows the way in general we sit with the israeli army officers and they're trying to convince him to him this of putting him in the israeli attack on an enemy state presumably the ranch the general at that stage take a bite out of the shopping table not getting in front of him and see if something

along the line doesn't let go and not with the israeli misinterpret to mean that you have given them the queen might be the operations for the missiles not to fall right and you have those who are on the situation and the israelis so we have been putting up with a repeat 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 right here and when we got on like that if nothing little just the general public awareness paid people hate me for no one even a state. what if. that. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. a double suicide bombing near a military base in a central afghanistan has killed at least thirteen people including nine civilians more than seventy others were wounded a bomber on foot was followed by

a truck driven by another attacker whose device exploded shortly afterwards the taliban have already claimed responsibility for the blast. in belgium protests against the early release of the accomplice and ex-wife of a new tourist pedophile killer have ended in scuffles with police the demonstration took place outside a convent where michel martin has been sent after serving just over half her jail sentence the woman was sentenced to thirty years in prison for letting two girls starve to death in a cellar while helping her husband mark do true carry out sex abuse is on the other girls. seven shia muslims have been shot dead in the city of quetta in pakistan police say gunmen on motorcycles forced the group off a bus and shot five of them two survivors tried to run away but were chased down and killed the attack is the latest in a wave of sectarian violence in pakistan as shia groups are blaming the government for failing to help the bloodshed. on 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 artie's alexy 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 might 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 by 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 but we have

to find and identify locations of around five hundred twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles eventually expired starting from twenty eleven these containers to start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be unimaginable he prayed gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological watchdog firmly denies this threat even exists the laws are divers and specialists from the interior ministry check the bottom of the sea or the boards or is 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 should be what it meant was that the mentality of law. in forty years now and i don't want these problems in the hands of meanwhile more and more kids who counter this virus infections from crimea the summer holidays this is the . i try not to logic state of the one who 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 succumb for a 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 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. well moscow has been celebrating city day marking the anniversary of its eight hundred and sixty fifth that year and on our website you can see some of the festivities. tchaikovsky's eight hundred twelve overture wash footage from red square where an annual military music festival took place combined with a flashy parade uniting of the military units from all over the world. also online how one of the world's fastest developing markets has become a battlefield germany looks ready to join the economic war between china and the

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 in that senate though i do vote 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 a 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 that these 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 deport important as the outside how people perform that that's my first impression that people are choosing the heads not the times i think most of europeans are through obama and that's it and you don't need to watch any of the bad never. really want to show us that i was really i mean congress or us is smarter than 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 and 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 lou let's face it ok. people that are out 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

when live on your television screens and your computer screens this is r t twenty four hours a day seven days a week from moscow let's get right your top of the headlines syria's rebels declare civilian airports are their latest targets and warned of that international flights shouldn't stray anywhere near the country's two largest cities. outrage against turkey's recent push for a no fly zone over syria sparks rallies in germany by both pro and anti assad groups. actions speak louder than words as it israel appears to be gearing up for war with iran launching a massive propaganda campaign along with emergency drill. plus anger at the london paralympics a key sponsor of the games is accused of humiliating a disabled people as part of the government's attempts to cut welfare benefits. of

next r.t. talks to foreign affairs expert and german left wing politician yawn von ancken about the western agenda in syria. as one of the world's major economic and political power houses germany has a lot of influence which it can exert over global situations not to talk with me a little bit more about what jim is doing on the global stage right now i'm joined by. the foreign policy spokesperson for the left body here in germany thanks very much speaking to me. syria is of course the major flash point in the world right now what's chimney's view on the situation moment. i would love to know i know what my position is in syria and i think i'm the only side i can take that those people are still peacefully demonstrating for the right for the democratic and human rights. but the german government officially they don't take sides something sure

of the. human rights. repression within the country sure enough but officially them taking any other sides with a rebel to whatever but informally and to see it from their involvement you know with this by ship on the ground there. and they invite syrian 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 now you mentioned the training of politicians for a syria without assad how are those people chosen. i know i do your i mean this is buy it it's not the government think tank but it's the think think that's close to the government we have in germany 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 margaret i mean how can you train some people and others not i

mean we left party to link in germany we have contacts left politicians some people in syria i would know who i would pick but obviously these are different people so if these people being brought to germany because germany sees them as being beneficial for the country in the future sure obviously i mean there's sort of an idea this government has which is not out in the public space i don't know about it but obviously they have an idea who they want to govern the country with or this is ethnically based religiously based or politically based no clue i can figure i can imagine i would think that they would look for people who are not too close to the muslim brothers. to islam for way from from us what is possible maybe not too critical about turkey but i don't know so is germany setting itself up as the best place to to train politicians for the post. that's what they

are doing i mean obviously they are inviting people here and they call it training for the situation there after. so yes they are training people for government positions they want to have the relationship with the german government and you mentioned the muslim brotherhood there are another country where they have huge influences of course in egypt how do you view the situation in that country after their revolution and their transition into a new egypt was very difficult situation for a long time i was afraid that the army would take over. now as of today it looks better so that they are losing some of the power of the military to the elected president this situation continuous hopefully to future for the situation within egypt what this means for the whole region i mean we had the clash at the border to israel so really have no idea i think it's very volatile right now for israel libya

syria. and especially then all the threats from israel against iran so it's too early to say that the revolution in egypt is one is over everything is peaceful and happy happy but it looks better today than four weeks ago well to move to libya now what's the situation there in your opinion how does a country like libya want to rebuild itself and one of the aftermath very few people talk about is that many of those who fought in libya now went to the area and are now fighting in mali for example were we have no sort of a civil war going on some really extreme muslim took over the north a part of mali many of those fought before that and worked with weapons everything were trained in libya so we see sort of the fallout of this war in the neighboring countries is there a chance that the type of situation we see right now in libya it could be repeated in syria as is today the situation for me in syria looks much worse than in libya

because i mean the whole environment you know with the middle east conflict. is one problem the other problem is that right now there seems to be so many other countries. who have their own interests within syria supporting one side or the other turkey with the kurdish problem so they are supporting the movement just to prevent the kurds within syria to have their own you know autonomy then you have the gulf states supporting the rebels you have the cia on the ground you have german spy ships on the ground i mean this seems to be the whole world have their interest now with one group or the other syria and that looks to me like a recent piece for a long civil war within syria now we talk about contagion when we're talking about the eurozone crisis is the risk of a war contagion in the wider middle east area if the situation in syria continues contagion is the very risk.
