a move that would effectively mean armed intervention given the opposition to the idea from russia and china britain has hinted foreign nations could act without the un's approval it's been argued the buffer zones are needed to help syrian refugees but some experts believe those behind the initiative pursuing their interests in the first place. it's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the country using the united nations as your bill is unfortunately a repetition of what happened in libya where were the united nations being used to promote war and to promote case that playbook worked in libya they were trying to save point for going to with those work anymore there is no desire by. the west nato to have been negotiated settlement the oldest purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for pipelines such as by way of syria iran and other places all these other things are excuses to claim that

they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross. the rebel fighters say that a foreign power is coming in and establishing a no fly zone over syria would significantly help them and that's fine to gains that assad regime meanwhile they toxics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising more questions as all this accounting and found out. it was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the syrian war a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city. you know love what i do but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with a very close ties to the government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured about human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian

army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have escaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c. had aired a story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were tallaght in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war. for r.t.

in moscow. still unclear who exactly forms the fragmented syrian opposition western governments are keen to help them seize power in the conflict one country france has asked side opponents to form a provisional government promising to recognize it as the legitimate representative of the new syria the palaces of what could be behind the suggestion by paris and its potential implications are online for you as r.t. . julian assange once again broke his silence giving his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecuador talking to a latin american t.v. network they whistleblower defenders of the wiki leaks cause pointing out that no one was hurt as a result of publications on the website something that cannot be said about america's actions in iraq and afghanistan which it exposed also lashed out at the u.s. overwhelming surveillance practices and what he called

a global spy network implemented by google this the wiki leaks believes is leading to trans national totalitarianism with the public in the west increasingly influenced by press manipulation and speaking about his own future as has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now so it is my take from six months to up to a year for him to become a free man and with and from the u.k. the independence party told r.t. that asuncion might be right to count all sweden eventually dropping the case against him. i don't see. a very quick resolution to this unfortunately for our coffers the. police weren't under enough pressure with all the other policing there are we to do it would be a lympics of everything else at the moment. but i don't see a resolution that you know william hague will stop threatening to storm the dorrian embassy which i think he was very foolish to even hint to rigidly we might come to

some arrangement would be a quick dorian's i don't know but i think the most likely thing is that real. lies that they've created by not sending a prosecutor to talk to here in england there's the offered to do to speak to them to answer their questions by going this heavy handed route i think they've they've made a rod for their own back and they're going to end up having to drop it but i don't think they'll do it any time soon. and all the twists and turns of the long running saga are on our website dot com and also that you can watch all the editions of earning to you program that was broadcast here on our c including the one where he talks to ecuador and president. there hasn't been a thing yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. of the source material is what helps journalism on a real. we

want to present. something real. the long standing conflict between israel and the palestinians continues with new evidence of children in the front line testimonies of former israeli soldiers and a shocking video of how israeli soldiers separate a mother from her daughter and a small palestinian village have taken the strive to a new level. from time to. there's ready 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 and which they deal specifically with how the i.d.f. treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the opportunity of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often the i.d.f. dinner party targets children using them as human shields during its operations but

the support also 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 as you can witness from that distance that we published and from my own experiences as a soldier i have to say that the main point here is that there is there is no real distinction when it comes to treatment between adults and children for example we were doing constant arrest operations throughout the west bank arresting i don't know how many people you know on a nightly basis and many of the people that we were arresting were either children or teenagers did the most occasions we didn't even know why they were being arrested in one of the raid operations that we had that we basically did the palestinian town in the south of the city of hebron. children started throwing stones at us so it's some point we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as

a shield so that the stones that were being thrown by his friends or by his supposed friends with the team instead of us we were hoping that that would stop him somehow that would stop his friends from throwing stones obviously didn't help and he just got injured in the in the occasion now. coming out on a field of another demonstration as in. which is a palestinian village in footage that was captured on camera these soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their own not one person was injured but. and there are pictures of this of one a woman. say certainly not a good time for the idea of being criticized on a number of fronts policy r.t. television. and brings us to the case of pro palestinian u.s.

rachel corrie who was crushed by an israeli army bulldozing two thousand and three the twenty three year old was taking part in a demonstration trying to stop palestinian homes from being destroyed in gaza a court ruled that israel was not responsible but journalist tom de lay who witnessed cory's death claims israel is trying to sweep the incident under the rug . it's tremendously just pointing out on the basis of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three it's absolutely not possible to characterize what happened next to them in my view so i told the coach and as i told the. acacias before the bulldozer driver. a very long drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see even on the basis of the shots presented to the court by the threat of military. head was visible above the took the bull the sublight just before she was crushed and she climbed on a mound of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen

on this that it represents a want what happened on that culture in the israeli military impunity to such crimes and that culture impunity it's the still a tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which the fools have opinion shows because europe is full of civilians almost ever in that area as a civilian and to the israeli government to say we refuse to treat anyone in this area officially given that human rights because we've given it this particular name . coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just me surviving that responsibility. this week iran was the center of the global political stage showing the despite economic sanctions and wanted spread the difficult it's not as isolated

as largely believed that occasion is from of the one hundred states gathered in tehran for the nonaligned movement summit a group of nations who don't consider themselves part of any power block dozens of country leaders attended including egypt's new elected president mohamed morsi which marks the first visit to iran by an egyptian head of state since the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the significance of the meeting was also in line by the presence of the u.n. changed became despite the u.s. and israel discouraging him of doing so and independent research us arrive. explains a lot that says about iran's role in the region the war. this divine ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said so this is a key player in the region and nothing much really can be solved you flowers if you want participation. i'm sure that the united states and israel would like. to come down hard on iraq and there's he's also aware of the flag there's two thirds

of the countries that belong to the united nations are member countries of the nine aligned group the united states state department likes to say many things and i think that's precisely because they do tend to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in mind they would love to be a global vision monic power. the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of aggression to resist this kind of double standards and hypocrisy and i think that's probably really thinking of the united states this point. so today's summit in ten run resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and ease of energy of nuclear energy i should say seen as a by king of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just as in you were pulled by the you want to make watchdog a much accusing the islamic state of stepping up its uranium enrichment and

political analyst eric draitser it sounds the timing of the release shows the i.a.e.a. is anything but unbiased 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 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. and so we had a few there with a history of flip flopping on political issues as republican presidential nominee and me to romney's becoming more of a punch line than a clear frontrunner for the white house. plus the years of radical islam spread throughout russia after muslim leaders coming into the city of quetta. but now britain's high court has given the final verdict this week in one of the most expensive bottles in legal history south as the russian tycoon buries very salty has lost a multibillion dollar against his fellow countrymen are among the brim of it but charles the food bowl club owner the months long standoff between the two only gods living in the u.k. had scandalous accusations of greed and dishonesty actually is lower smith takes a closer look at the case. the final verdict in this case found against

a body that is old school which means that he won't receive a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was also going for for a. run up but i want to promote himself was not in court but his old scheme was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but was the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up for the viewing of the general public the milky wolds all of russia's maaco richard what they got up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it back then we're talking about the history of sums of money off shore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash or of kools five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with no documentation which of course has made this case

a very difficult one to judge it's cruel to london to school building a billion eggs along with their own maker expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this area in their shades in a menacing way but he's got his old ski says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that promote it intimidates him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they want but abramovich says that in fact him but it's also good whenever business partners that he was making payments to but is also key but they were only for political protection. roof in russian which has become a common hollins in the legal circles here in london as a result of this case is that he did make regular payments to put his old ski up full of political protection but he says that. they weren't anything to do with the partnership they were often made in huge cash sums up to five million dollars

hundred in cash and totaling several hundred million dollars he says that he paid for but is also key to travel in a private jet that he bought in a french chateau and he also bought him jewelry for his girlfriend but as he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two for which this is being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the results of this case no win this time around but we may see more cases of this nature here in london. and of course plenty more news available on our website and i don't live for the stories that you might have that start that he don't need to spend thousands of dollars to make a dream come true learn how a chinese puppet state is now driving a luxury sports car. mindgames chinese

scientists close the gap between man and machine by planting controlled trials all the. u.s. presidential candidates may troll need criticized the current president barack obama for his handling of foreign affairs at the republican national convention this week his comments could be worse for other nations as america's presidential election approaches romney has a history of flip flopping on issues though so it's hard to tell what his message will become november. second explaining. mitt romney is now officially barack obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough

throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also nations at the republican convention where he accepted his nomination mr romney did not fail to once again highlight his any masorti towards russia he criticized the president for not being hard enough in his view on russia when it comes to missile defense mitt romney says under his administration quote mr putin will see less flexibility and more backbone and of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for a lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against

it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney's flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is. from the tonight show with jay leno it says actually mitt romney and hurricane isaac have something in common they can both change directions that any moment and another comedian goes obama is like you can be whatever you want to be while romney is like i can be whatever you want me to be there are tons of jokes about mitt romney and his backbone issues apparently one way of showing some backbone for him is this kind of tough talk full of threats we'll see how far it will take him in this november election. with a two party system in the us some verses feel they are on to left with much of a choice and later this hour also andrew levine shares what he sees as the flaw of

america's electoral system but he is a. at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation are there isn't that much difference romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is software although control and. all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become sales promotions they are a brand and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products to a product and it's. a pressure that not all it's not so much of the pressure the tard to resist it's a pressure that most people that most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. and let's now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world at least

a dozen people are dead after a double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan more than seventy others were injured the taliban said it's two bombers one driving a truck packed with explosives and put. belgian protests against the early release of the accomplice and ex-wife of the notorious child killer and paedophile have ended in scuffles with police the demonstrations took place outside a convent where michel martin has been sent after serving just over hard her jail sentence the woman who was sentenced to thirty years in prison for letting two girls starve to death in the celeb while helping her husband mark the truth carry out sexual abuses on other girls. seven share 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 try to run away but work trays down and

killed that time it was the latest in a wave of sectarian violence. pakistan has shed groups blame the government for failing to halt the bloodshed. pressure is a triscuit facing a wave of islamic radicalism after a dagestani muslim spiritual leader was assassinated in his house on tuesday a female suicide bomber and the clerics home disguised as a pilgrim and blew herself up this comes in the wake of last month's double assault and muslim figures in the republic of tatarstan some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east but others say the threat from islamic hatred could become even stronger he got this kind of now reports. the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when it sees a blast through him from his core the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among the lever survived to find his deputy was shot dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack

but the spotlight is now on to understand most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington . some of the local muslim communities are financed by arabs from states where work is an official religion because the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here. like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world it's forwards often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but abysmal in the other radical movement of islam of course not part of the official religion here but i see different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one. we build into a mosque in one of many apartment blocks we aren't it's the moms denying being.

article but admit they do not support our stance official branches of islam. we don't divide brother muslims and there can be no radicalism no terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit islam. we were told here believers are taught to sincerely any quality and there are no longer up held in modern society with justice can only be achieved through islam and when someone says islam is the only fan way of life and social order that called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing the hand is chopped off. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal code nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be partly to blame on how the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. often in books by

classical world famous author is a bound more than some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence of course start our son is a long way from becoming engulfed by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key in the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to have already because i doubt our son. or the headlines in just a couple of months don't go away. you're .
