well from the fukushima it's technology innovation all the elements from around russia we've got the huge earth covered. the stories that shape this week western nations ramp up calls for military intervention in syria in order to protect refugees but face criticism for aiming to help armed rebels who's fighting tactics are accused of more props. doing a song might have to spend from six months to a whole year at the ecuadorian embassy in london a whistle blower makes a forecast during a rare interview saying he hopes for

a diplomatic resolution to the standoff. plus no longer an outcast in iran refutes the myth of its international isolation by hosting a high profile summit attended by a leaders senior politicians from over one hundred countries despite opposition from washington. and the clash of the oligarchs russian business tycoon all mana but imo which wins in a multibillion dollar battle with fellow countryman buddies in the one court case full of accusations of dirty dealings. hello and welcome to our tease the weekly and it's sunday three o'clock here in moscow and i'm karen terror oxy well western powers have pushed this week for

setting up foreign protected safe zones in syria a move that would effectively mean armed intervention give an 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 me initiative are pursuing other interests. 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 unfortunate oya repetition of what happened in libya or the united nations being used to promote war instead of promote case that playboy who are doing whatever they want to try to save lives or go with those work anymore there is no desire. of the west. with a negotiated settlement the old with the purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for light water and such is 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 or a rebel fighter say about foreign powers coming in and establishing a no fly zone over syria would significantly help them in their fight against assad's government meanwhile the tactics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising even more questions as artie's lucy coffin all 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 love us thank 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 captives said to be a member of the should be a militia with a very close ties to the awesome 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 the video of rebels from the free

syrian army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces and 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. now 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 retaliate whether by the government or the rebels 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. in moscow although it's still unclear who exactly forms the fragmented syrian opposition western governments are keen to help them seize power in a conflict torn country in france has asked assad opponents to form a provisional government promising to recognize it as the legitimate representative of the new syria analysis of what could be behind the suggestion by in paris and its potential implications are online at r t dot com. joining us once again broke his silence giving his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecuador talking to a pair latin american t.v. network the whistleblower defended the wiki leaks calls 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 a solider also lashed out at the us for its overwhelming surveillance practices and

what he called a global spy network implemented via google this the wiki leak or believes is leading to trans national totalitarianism with the public in the west increasingly influenced by press manipulation speaking about his own future of a son who's been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now so. and in my take up to this from six months rather up to a year for him to become a free man pole within from the u.k. is independence party told r.t. that a songe might be right to count on sweden eventually trapped in 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 your william hague will stop threatening to storm the ecuadorian embassy which i think he was very foolish to even hint 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 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 anytime soon well the twists and turns of julian assange has long running sagar on our website r t also there you can watch all the impressions of the wiki leak or saw an interview program including the one where he talks to ecuadorian president rafael corral. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps to keep journalism on we.

we wanted to present. something real. a long lasting conflict between israel and the palestinians continue with new evidence our children and the front line testimonies of former israeli soldiers and a shocking video of how they separated a mother from her daughter and a small palestinian village have taken the strife to a whole new level paul say reports from tel aviv. there were demonstrations as indeed there are even weekend now big sally which is a palestinian village and 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 me 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 is 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 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 raid operations to it 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. distorted people 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 i.d.f. it's finding a been criticised on a number of fronts porteous the r.t.e. television and certainly is reminiscent of the case of pro palestinian us activist

rachel corrie who was crushed by an israeli army bulldozer in 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 haifa court ruled that israel was not at fault but journalist tom dale who witnessed cory's death claims israel is trying to sweep the incident under the rock . 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 israelis mccain but the guy should 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 visitors shot presented to the court by the threat of military for the law. was visible above the took the bull's eye sublight just before she was crushed and she commented on amount of trying to escape so in

my mind that's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen. this but it represents a want watching what happened on not a culture in the israeli military think unity to such crimes and that culture impunity is the silly 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 refuse to treat anyone in this area additionally into giving their human rights because we've given it this particular name. coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just a means of aiding their responsibility. this week iran was at the center of the global political stand showing them to spy and economic sanctions and widespread vilification it's not as isolated as largely believed delegations from over 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 newly elected president mohamed morsi watch mark the first visit to iran mine egyptian head of state since the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the significance of the meeting was also underlined by the presence of the un chief ok md despite the u.s. and israel discouraging several independent researcher sariah said before all rich explains what this says about iran's role in the region and in the world is to bring 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 and i'm sure that the united states and israel good likeness to ban ki-moon to come down hard on iran but as 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 align movement 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. he summoned into her own resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and to use of nuclear energy seen as a backing of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just as

a new report by the un atomic watchdog emerged accusing the islamic state of stepping up its uranium enrichment geo political analyst eric draitser says the timing of the release shows the i.a.e.a. is anything but unbiased 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 eldara die or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law here with r.t. and still i hand it with a history of flip flopping on a little cold us republican presidential nominee mitt romney is becoming more of a punch line than a clear front runner for the white house. plus fears of radical islam spread throughout russia after a series of attacks on muslims leaders who preached against extremist idea. britain's high court has given the verdict this week in one of the most expensive battles and legal history itself exiled russian tycoon bodies but his off scale has lost a multibillion dollar play against his fellow countryman but i'm on

a promo for the chelsea football club owner the months long standoff between the two on the guards living in the u.k. scandalous accusations of greed and dishonesty laura smith takes a closer look at the case the final verdict in this case found against the bodies of the results which means that he won't receive a cent more than five point six billion dollars that he was also going for but imo which run up what i want to promote it should sell was not important but that is old steve was he a really became very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but one of the verdicts 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 murky world of old russia is a mega rich and what they got up to back in the nineteen nineties the wild east as we called it but then 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 and shake with new documentation which of course is made this case a very difficult one to judge is brought to london to school building billionaires along with their own two roaches megger expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around the school area in their shades in a minute singing way but he's got his old ski says that he was driven out of billions of dollars and when he says that not promote it intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and. oil companies even for a fraction of what they will get out of it says that in fact he would never hurt business partners that he was making payments to but as well to keep it 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 is that he did make regular payments to put his old skates for 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 two hundred 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 him a french chateau and he also bought jewelry for his girlfriend 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 has 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. after

handling of foreign affairs at the republican national convention this week his comments could be worrisome for other nations as america's presidential election approaches in addition romney has a history of flip flopping on a shoes so it's hard to tell what his message will be come november party's going to church can explain its. 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 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 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. well the two party system in the u.s. some voters feel they are left with much of a choice in the next hour author andrew levine shares what he sees as the flaws america's electoral system 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 so thoroughly controlled and all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become a sales promotion's 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 the pressure the tard to resist it's a pressure that most people work but most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. time now for some other stories making headlines around the world at least a dozen people are dirt after a double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan more than seventy others were also injured the taliban taking responsibility for the blasts said it sent out two bombers one driving a truck packed with explosives and the other on foot. the federal authorities in mexico has declared enrique peña nieto the legitimate winner of the july presidential election following the announcement of more than three

a female suicide bomber entered the clerics home disguised as a pilgrim and then blew herself up this comes in the wake of last month's double assault on muslim figures in the republic of thought that stunned some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east and that the government must still be very cautious on how it treats the spread of radicalism it's feared that painting all muslims with one brush could drive people into the hands of the islamists you go to school of 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 spotlight is 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 russia yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arabs from states where whack a bit and 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 isn't or any 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 a mom's denying being radical but admitting they do not support their 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 and equality and there are no longer up held in modern society. 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 classical world famous authors are banned or even some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the rhetoric.
