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 uars approval it's been the buffer zones are needed to help syrian refugees but some experts believe those behind the initiative are pursuing other 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 vehicle it is unfortunately a repetition of what happened in libya where we are the united nations being used to promote war instead it promotes case that playboy who worked in libya they want to try the same playbook and go with those work anymore but 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 you brought in other places all these other

things are excuses to claim that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross law they have a fine to say the foreign powers coming in and astonishing a no fly zone of a sea ram would significantly help them and their fight against the assad regime meanwhile they tactics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising more questions as well he's a sick af and i found. 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. no love i told you 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 us that 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 touch of 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 a scaped after the bombs failed to detonate 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 challenged in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and the further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war who seek out for no

for r.t. and moscow. still unclear who exactly who forms the fragmented syrian opposition or what's in government so keen to help them seize power in the conflict own country has asked us not opponents to form a provisional government promising to recognize it as the legitimate representative of the new syria and they so analysis of what could be behind this attraction for paris and its potential implications are online for you at all so you don't call. it an assumption once again broke his. silence giving his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecological talking to an american t.v. network that whistleblower defenders that we can exclude is 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 exposed a songe also lashed out at big lots of whelming surveillance practices and what he called a global spy network implemented by google and they still weekly could believes is

leading to a transitional rather transnational totalitarianism with the public in the west increasingly influenced by press many pure asian speaking about his own future asuncion has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now so this might take from six months up to a year for him to become a free man. from the u.k. his independence party told r.t. that a stange might be right to count on 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 they're having to do it would be olympics and everything else at the moment. but i don't see a resolution or you know william hague will stop threatening to storm the ecuadorian embassy which i think he was very foolish to even hint to rigidly we might come to some arrangement would be

a quid dorian's 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 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 of course all the twists and turns of truth in a long running saga oh no website ask dot com and also that you can watch all the dish and or the we can legs our interview program that was broadcast here on our c including the one where he talks to ecuador and president rafael correa. hasn't been seen on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact of. the source material is what helps keep journalism on we.

we wanted 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 always radio soldiers and a shocking video of how they separated a mother from her daughter in a small put seen in village have taken the strive to a new level of reports now from tel aviv. there were demonstrations as indeed there are if we had not big sally 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 or signaling stun grenades now these

reports come out on the heels of another damning conclusion there's really 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 in which they deal specifically with how the i.d.f. treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the op or 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 and using them as human shields during its operations but these reports 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 distant one is 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 or nightly basis in many of the people that we were arresting were either children or teenagers did in most occasions we didn't even know why they were being arrested in one of the raid operations we had to basically invaded the palestinian town south of the city of hebron the children started throwing stones at us so exampling we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as a shoe. to distort the pool being thrown by his friends or by his supposed friends who did 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 the in the occasion so certainly not a good time for the idea for twentieth i've been criticized on a number of friends poorly r.t. television. and there's brings us back to the case of pro palestinian. 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 evil court ruled that israel was not responsible but journalist tom dale who witnessed corus death claims israel is trying to sway of 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 as an accident in my view so i told the coach and as i told the. question 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 even on the face of the digital shots presented to the court by the threat of military. head was visible above the took the bull's eye sublight just before she was crushed and she came with an amount of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen on this but it represents

a want watching what happened on not kosher in the israeli military think unity to such crimes and that culture impunity is the senate take it fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which the fools palestinian shoulders because europe is full of civilians almost everyone that 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. coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just me serving that responsibility. this week iran was at the sun till the global political stage showing that despite economic sanctions and why it spread if occasions it's not as isolated as large have believed delegations 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 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 and the significance of the meeting was also underlined by the presence of the u.n. chief who came despite the u.s. and israel discouraging him of doing so an independent research a sariah support over explains all the sounds about iran's role in the region and the. histogram 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 hurons participation i'm sure that the united states and israel good likeness to ban ki moon 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 movement 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 the summit in tehran resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and peace of nuclear energy seen as a binding of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just a new as a new report by the un atomic watchdog unmatched accusing the islamic state of stepping up its uranium enrichment and championed its call on this to eric draitser

says the timing of the release shows the i.a.e.a. yays anything not biased the 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 n.a.m. 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 it is in fact dubious and i would go further and remind people that 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 eldora di or

his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law. this is all see and still ahead for you this hour with a history of flip flopping on political issues lots of republican presidential nominee mitt romney is becoming more of the punch line than a clear frontrunner for the white house. fears of radical islam spread throughout russia after muslim leaders come under a time in the city on. britain's high court has given the final verdicts this week in one of the most expensive bottles in legal history so exiled a russian tycoon baris varies of ski has lost a multi-billion dollar plea against his fellow countrymen and roman abramovich the charles a football club owner the months long standoff between the two only guards living in the u.k. heard scandalous accusations of greed and designer state laura smith takes

a closer look at the case. final verdict in this case found against bodies 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 which run up what i want to promote it should self was not in court it is old school was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but once 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. over russia's mega rich and what they got up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it back that we're talking about sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash. or of course five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength and shake

with no documentation which of course has made this case a very difficult one to judge it's cruel to london to school building billion as along with their own two roaches 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 promote it intimidates him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact he would never 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 collins in the legal circles here in london as a result of this case a promotion 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 thumbs up to five million dollars cash and totaling several hundred million dollars he says that he paid well but is also key to travel in a private jet that he bought a french chateau and he also bought him a jewelry for his girlfriend but is also he wanted the five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two for a mortgage 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 in new. york city this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. so after losing fortunes during high cost lawsuits some russian tycoons could use advice from a middle class chinese man to uphold their premium state has to learn more on our

obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also at 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 is 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 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. and it was the two party system in the us some voters feel they are going

to left with much of a choice and later this hour also live in shares what he sees as the flaws of america's actual system but he's a pretty. 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 if they're all they're controlled. all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically if i can advertising it's become a sales promotions there are a brand that 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 that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people or most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. take

dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack but the spotlights now on the other stun most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states where wacko bit them as an official religion 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 its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but it is more in the other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought he saw a different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like

this one form a boiler house rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks the aren't it's the moms denying being radical but admitting they do not support our stance of visual 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 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 fair way of life and social order they're 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
