a move that would effectively mean all intervention given the opposition to the idea from russia and china britain has hinted at foreign nations could act without the uars approval so it's been argued that buffer zones are needed to help syrian refugees but some experts believe those behind the initiative op assume other interests in their. it's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the country using the united nations as your vehicle it is unfortunately a repetition of what happened in libya where we are the united nations being used to promote war instead of promote case that playbook worked in libya they want to try the same playbook until it goes work anymore but there is no desire by. the west nato to have been negotiated settlement so the oldest purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for life well 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 war the rebel fighting saying that foreign powers coming in and establishing a no fly zone over syria would significantly help them in that finds against the assad regime meanwhile they tactics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising more questions as also he's going to succumb from the 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. 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 this should be a militia with 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 what 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 the times when government forces 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 the 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 no for r.t.

in moscow. although it's still unclear who exactly forms the fragmented the syrian opposition or western governments to help them seize power in the conflict one country and sons has asked to sign opponents to form a vision of government promising to recognize it as the legitimate representative of the new syria analysis of what could be behind this suggestion by paris and its potential implications are mind and heart. during our son once again broke his silence giving his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecuador talking to a pan latin american t.v. network they were sublimer defenders than we can leaks cause pointing out that no one was hurt as a result of publications on the website something that kind of be said about america's actions in iraq and afghanistan which it exposed also lashed out at the u.s. for its overwhelming surveillance practices and what he called a global spy network implemented by google they stay we can leaks believes is

leading to trans trans national totalitarianism the public in the west increasingly influenced by press manipulation speaking about his own future our son has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now said it might take from six months to up to a gear for him to become a free man. from the u.k.'s independence party told r.t. might be right to count on sweden eventually dropping the case against him. i don't see the. very quick resolution to this unfortunately for the. police weren't under enough pressure with all the other police having to do it would be a lympics of everything else at the moment. but i don't see a resolution of your william hague or stop threatening to storm the ecuadorian embassy which i think he was very foolish to even hint to originally but we might come to some arrangement would be ecuadorians i don't know but i think the most

likely thing is that sweden will realize that. they've created by not sending a prosecutor to talk to him in england as 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 by going they're going to end up having to drop it but i don't think they'll do it anytime soon and all twists and turns of journalists. are on our website r.t. dot com and also you can watch all the additions of the weekly leaks are an interview program that was on r c including the one where he talks to ecuador and president rafael. hasn't been seen on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact of. the source material is what he journalism on this week.

we wanted to present. something real. a long lasting conflict between israel and the palestinians continues with new evidence of children and the front line testimonies of former israeli soldiers and a shocking video how they separated a mother from her daughter in a small palestinian village have taken the strive to a new level reports now from. there were demonstrations as indeed there are if we weekend not be silent 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 homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested five of whom were children and there are pictures of the daughters of one woman trying to save their mother as she was manhandled by the soldiers who were using stun grenades now these reports come

hot on the heels of another damning conclusion there is 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 fifty israeli soldiers and commanders in which they deal specifically with how the i.d.f. treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the opera treat of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often the idea of deliberately targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reports also going 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 the testimonies that we've 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 appropriations throughout the west bank arresting i

don't know how many people you know on a nightly basis in 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 radio parisian streets we had to basically invaded the palestinian town south of the city of hebron the children started throwing stones at us so example we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as a shoe. being strong friends he supposed friends would hit him instead of us we were hoping that that would stop him somehow that would stop his friends from throwing stones obviously didn't help him he just got injured in. so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding a been criticised on a number of fronts policy r.t. television. and brings us back to the case of pro palestinian u.s. activist rachel corrie who was crushed by an israeli army bulldoze in two thousand

and three they twenty three year old was taking part in a demonstration trying to stop palestinian homes from being destroyed and garza haifa court ruled that israel was not responsible but journalist tom dale who witnessed corey's death claims israel is trying to sway the incident under the rug . it's tremendously disappointing 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 israeli military before that bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see that even on the base of the visitors' shots presented to the court by the threat of military. head was visible above the top of the boulder sublight just before she was crushed and she comment on a mound of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen

on this but it represents a want what happened on that day a culture in the israeli military contingency for such crimes and that culture impunity it's the silly tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which for the palestinian shoulders because europe is full of civilians almost every area is a civilian and so the israeli government to say i see that we refused to treat anyone in this area officially given that human rights because we've given it this particular name. close matutinal happy to me i think that's just me serving that responsibility. this week iran was at the center of the global political stage showing that despite economic sanctions and widespread vilification it's not as isolated as largely believed to negations from one hundred states gathered in

teheran for the nonaligned movement summit a group of nations who don't consider themselves part of any power block dozens of country need is attended including egypt's new elected president mohamed morsi which marks the first visit to iran by an egyptian head of state south in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the significance of the meeting was also underlined by the presence of the u.n. cheney who came despite the u.s. attorneys discouraging him up doing science and independent research. explains what this says about iran's role in the region. mr brime ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said so this iran 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 iran but 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 to the united states state department likes to say many things and i think it's only because. 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 finds. so the summit in tehran resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and he said nuclear energy seen as a backing of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just as a new were pulled by the un a tonic watchdog unmatched accusing the islamic state of stepping up its you frame and richmond and jew political analyst eric draitser the timing of the release

shows the only a anything but unbiased iranians first of all they believe that 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 the united states and israel too to a large extent are terribly embarrassed about the fact that the nonaligned movement summit has gone off as a tremendous success and the fact that many around the world are seeing the summit as really iran's coming out party in terms of geopolitics in terms of their position on the world stage and so the timing of the report i think is is in fact dubious and i would go further and remind people that 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 eldara di or

his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law. so there had for you here or not see a history of flip flopping on political issues to us public and presidential nominee amy twenty is becoming more of a punch line than a clear frontrunner for the white. also fears of radical islam spread throughout russia after muslim leaders come and time in the city. that's coming up later this hour but now britain's high court has given the final verdict this week in one of the most expensive bottles in legal history russian tycoon boris berezovsky has lost a multi-billion dollar play against his fellow countrymen ramon abramovich the chance a football club owner the months long standoff between the only gox living in the

u.k. scandalous accusations of greed and his own misty. takes a closer look at the case the final verdict in this case found against bodies which means that he won't receive a cent all the more than five point six billion dollars that he was also going for . what i want to promote himself was not in court. was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system that 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 all the viewing of the general public the murky world of russia's mego richard what they got up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it but we're talking about massive sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash or of

cool survive star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of the handshake with new documentation which of course is made this case a very difficult one to judge it. cruel to london to school building a billionaire along with their own megger 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 i'm over it intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact him but he would never business partners that he was making payments to bet as 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

a. full 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 for in cash and totaling several hundred million dollars he says that he paid to travel in a private jet that he bought him 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 from this is been 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. when for better this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. and plenty more news available on our website for you home had a line for the stories that you may have missed on ash like you don't need to stand

thousands of dollars to make a dream come true our chinese hope it stands now tromping on the tree sports car. also that the mind games try. scientists close the gap between man and machine by inventing the sword controlled. us presidential candidate to me troll nick criticised current president of broadband love for his hunting of foreign affairs at the republican national convention this week his comments could be worse and for other nations as america's presidential election approaches romney has a history of flip flopping on issues that are so it's hard to tell what his message will become nov then he's going to trickle down explain. 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 end 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 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 mommy 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 the two party system in the us some voters feel they are with much

of a choice and next hour or so andrew levin shares what he sees as the flaws of america's electro system but he is approved. at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is so thoroughly controlled. all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become a sales promotions they're a brand and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products to a product 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 or most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative.

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 arab families from states where it's an official religion or they got the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology it's. 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 symbolism or any other radical movement of islam of course not part of the official religion here but i thought do you see different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one former house rebuilt into

a mosque in one of many apartment blocks we aren't it's the moms deny being radical but admit they do not support their stance of visual branches of islam. we don't divide brought. there are muslims and there can be no radicalism no terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit as. we were told here believers are taught to sincerely any quality there are no longer up held in modern society looking 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 that bad and it's chopped off and. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal court 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 band or the son of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course that our son is a long way from becoming involved by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to all of our g. guys i doubt our son. just a few minutes off he takes you on board one of the fastest sailing ships in the world but before. the recap on this week's top stories.
