the idea from russia and china britain has hinted foreign nations could act without the union's approval it's been no gives the buffer zones a needed to help syrian refugees but some experts believe those behind a new step up pursuing other interests in the fast. 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 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 with a 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 and all these other things are excuses to claim that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross law the rebel fighters say that foreign power is coming in an astonishing

and no fly zone of a sea ram would significantly help them and i find against assad's government meanwhile think tactics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising more questions as if he's in this account now 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. i 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 outside 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 their attacks on government forces now

the cameras didn't follow the prisoner of 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 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 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 to seek out for no for r.t. and moscow although still unclear who exactly informs the front of the syrian

opposition western governments are keen to help them see. the country france has asked us not a part of the current national government promising to recognize it as a major damage representative of the new syria analysis on what could be behind the suggestion by paris and its potential implications on the line from the top seeded . german a songe once again to four of his son. given his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecuador talking to a panel latin american t.v. network they whistleblower defended the wiki leaks cause pointing out that no one was hurt as a result of publications on the web site is something that cannot be said about america's actions in iraq and afghanistan which it exposed also lashed out at the u.s. it's overwhelming subelements practices and what he called a global spy nest was implemented via google they stay we can leak a believes is leading to a transnational totalitarianism with

a publicly blast increasingly influenced by press many predation speaking about his own future has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now so that's my take from six months top to here for him to become a free man. fan from the caves independence party told r.t. that assange might be why to count on sweden venturing dropping the case against him. i don't see. a very quick resolution to this unfortunately for our coffers here it is if our police weren't under enough pressure with all the other policing they're having to do it would be a lympics of everything else at the moment. but i don't see a resolution william hague will 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 with the 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 here in england as you 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 june and a long running saga oh no website and also that if you can watch it you can watch all the editions of the we can leakers owning to you program that was broadcast here on our c including the one way talks to ecuador and president. doesn't being. on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism we. we wanted to preserve. something real.

the long lasting 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 they separated a mother from her daughter in a small palestinian village have taken the strive to a new level reports now from tel aviv. there were demonstrations as indeed there are if we had not a big seller 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 are signaling 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 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 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 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 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 it's some point we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as a shoe. being thrown. by the supposed friends with 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 and. so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding a been criticized on a number of fronts r.t. television. and that brings us back to the case of pro palestinian us activist rachel corrie who was crushed by an israeli army bulldozing two thousand and three they 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's not hold journalist tom dale who witnessed corey's death claims israel is trying to sweep the incident that drug. 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. question before the 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 shot 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 as she climbed on a mound of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen her under this but it represents a want washing of what happened on that day

a culture in the israeli military impunity to such crimes and that culture impunity says it tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which the palestinian shoulders because it's full of civilians almost every area civilian and to the israeli government to say we refuse to treat anyone in this area especially 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. also this week iran was of the center of the global political stage showing that despite economic sanctions and why a spread of vilification it's not as isolated as launch a believed delegations from one hundred states gathered in teheran for the no line to movement summit a group of nations who don't consider themselves part of any power bloc dozens of

countries need is attended including egypt's new the elected president mohamed morsi welsh marks the first visit to iran by an egyptian head of state says nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution they significance of the meeting was also underlined by the presence of the un actually became despite the u.s. and israel discouraging him of doing so and independent research as psoriasis explains hope this sense 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 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. united states state department likes to say many things and i think that's precisely because. to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in my love to be a global vision monic power. the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of action to resist this kind of double standards and hypocrisy and i think that's probably really thinking of the united states this point. the summit in tehran resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and he said an injury seen as a binding of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just as a new report by the un atomic washed all the matched accusing the islamic state of stepping up its uranium enrichment and political analyst eric draitser says the timing of the release shows the i.a.e.a. is anything but binds. 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 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 eldora di or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers

regardless of whether that contravenes international law. still ahead for you this hour with a history of flip flopping on political. u.s. public and president nominee me trami is becoming more of a punch line than a clear frontrunner for the white house. plus fears of radical islam spread throughout russia after a series of attacks on muslim leaders who preached against extremist ideas. that's coming up later but now britain's high court has given their verdict this week in one of the most expensive bottles in legal history the russian tycoon in various areas of ski has lost a multibillion dollar plea against his fellow countrymen from one of the mortgage the chelsea football club the months long standoff between the two only guards living in the u.k. scandalous accusations of greed and design a city. 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 the more than five point six billion dollars that he was also going for. but i want to promote himself in court. was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system what was the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and 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 murky world of russia's make 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 course five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with new documentation which of course is made this case

a very difficult one to judge its. to london to school building a billionaire along with their own to raj is make or expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this course 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 he would never have 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 skate 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 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 which 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 new win for better this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. after losing fortunes during high cost lawsuits some russian tycoons could use advice from a middle class chinese man to uphold their premium spends his time on our website so you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to make a train come true that how the chinese is now driving and actually sports.

in mind again it's a try nice scientists close the gap between man and machine by inventing thought control to grow our. u.s. presidential candidates criticize the current president barack obama for his handling of foreign affairs said they 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 about south it's hard to tell what his message will become will be come november so she's got an extra check on 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 animosity 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 gleason 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 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 at 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 with the two party system in the us some voters feel they aren't left with much of a choice and next hour also andrew levin shows what he sees as the flaws of

america's electoral system but here's a preview. 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 sort of all the 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 there are brands 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 that most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. unless i look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour at

least a dozen people are double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan more than seventy others were injured they turn about. two bombers one driving a truck packed with explosives and the other on foot. the federal electoral tribunal in mexico has recognized july's presidential election results as a ballot for more than three thousand students marched to the congress building to protest against the court's decision on change of rose after the leftist candidate who lost their lection accuse the rival party of blood by. in belgium protests against the early release of the accomplice and ex-wife although not tourist 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 a jail sentence the woman who was sentenced to thirty years in prison for letting

two girls starve to death in a cell while helping her husband to true carry out sexual abuses on other. russians a trace of facing a wave of islamic radicalism after a drug a stunning muslim spiritual leader was assassinated in his house on tuesday a female suicide bomber and the clerics home disguised as a program and blew herself up this comes in the wake of last month's double assault on muslim figures in the republic of tatarstan some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east the government must still be very cautious and how it treats the spread of radicalism as painting all muslims with one brush could drive people into the hands of the islamists or reports. the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when a series of blasts threw him from his car the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among the lever survived to find out his deputy was shot 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 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 its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but some business or any other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought the same different ideas often taught in smaller 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 admit they do not support their 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 as. 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. some one sense islam is the only fan way of life and social order called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing to have. and 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 the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to all of our d. that our son just that's why there are a couple this week's top stories in just a few. news.
