. the week's top stories on our t.v. turkey stat that military intervention in syria gets the cold shoulder with a new u.n. peace envoy arguing any such interference would make a ceasefire impossible. a chorus of support for iran's peaceful nuclear program as the country destroys any notion it's been politically isolated by the u.s. with its hosting of

a massive international summit. the freshly nominated republican candidate in the race for the white house promises a hardline stance against russia but places criticism for flip flopping on major issues. and the war of the wealthy that i'm on now but i'm over it successfully beats me back believe all the time it's by a london based tycoon by the speakers of ski to cut off a slice of this multibillion dollar fortune. hello and welcome to our tease the weekly it is four o'clock here in moscow and karen terror well the most open post yet for military intervention in syria came this week proposed by turkey with a backing from both britain and france they propose the u.

when establishment of refugee camps on syrian soil which will be guarded and protected by foreign forces at the no fly zone but the idea hit a dead end at the. the security council prompting britain and france to hand they might summit staff and u.n. all together meanwhile the new international envoy to syria brahimi warns that any military intervention would be the death of peace efforts professor paul sheldon foote from california state university says that for some it's not about ending the violence it's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the country using the united nations as your vehicle that playbook worked in libya they were drawn to the same playbook until it doesn't work anymore well there's no desire. where this neo to have been negotiated settlement in the old with the purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for playboy and such

is by way of syria iran and other places i think the people there was to be very happy that ended up with a massive civil war and a breakup of their country is the lack of privateers the life blood of the claim that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross war. every week thousands of refugees flee syria escaping both the relentless army and the often unpredictable rebels but the continuous stream is proving a drain on the country's neighbors they're finding it ever more difficult to feed and care the for the refugees and that's artie's possibly reports the conditions are so appalling that some would rather go back home. exhausted and drained there's not much for these refugees to do besides swelter under the scorching desert sun sheltering from the violence back home in syria they walked for days in the heat to get here and so they come in numbers and under the wire not

one person here has gone through the official borders instead depending on the level of violence in syria as many as a thousand people each day off fleeing across into jordan they're picked up from the border by the jordanian police and brought here to this camp. and now a man doesn't know what to do with them the country is struggling with few natural resources little water and is in need of foreign aid they growing number is putting pressure on an already refugee way republic we can't close the border on the faces of their huge ease we have to help them syria is like a sister to jordan i'm king abdullah and president assad with friends now is in a very difficult situation goes on has a direct impact on what has that here relations between a man in damascus are already strained a number of defected soldiers and senior officers are being sheltered in the kingdom the most high profile refugee was the prime minister riyad hitch up who fled to turkey through jordan earlier this month and then that the tribes who fearing massive amounts of weapons ammunition and sniper rifles to syria from

jordan saudi arabia is promising economic assistance in exchange for months cooperation but it could backfire. if there is regime change in syria and the extremists come to power this will make problems for jordan where we have our own dream it's far more flexible. and so now jordan faces the backlash of a conflict which some in the country have helped to escalate meanwhile more than one hundred fifty thousand refugees remain stuck on its borders and what's supposed to be a safe enclave but we food is hard to come by toilets case and not enough tends to go around leaving some to the mercy of harsh desert conditions this is. the atmosphere here is so so bad you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped a wave of uprisings that swept the arab world it says it's getting reforms in place

bush caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the serious shockwave however that conflict in policy r.t. results in the refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border. where the pressure on syria piling up france is increasingly being seen as a leader of the west's efforts against assad but director of the french center for intelligence studies eric dineros says french policy is on syria depend on a steady stream of one sided reporting. but i would say we truly foreign policy of all the time being i mean the mainstream in paris is in motion everything is about in motion we are absolutely under the disinformation of the movies of the. sea and then order all alone radio and the people are reacting only with the motion we don't out of the least good reflection above general politics and the bar room we have to be in in the middle east even if the political

leaders are changed you know a few months ago most of the police at the scene with most of the diplomatic teams are of the same looks like a friend sees no the new york channel revealed the us leg the u.k. has always been this is where the. good between us and france because we are doing their policy. so active reporting however isn't just limited to france earlier this week there was another glaring example a story about how brad balls were caught using a blindfolded prisoner and then found wearing suicide bomber disappears from a mainstream airway as it relates to a series of such reports that were prickly shell. also wiki leaks weighs in on syria with millions of leaked government e-mails sondra blasts the transnational surveillance empire that he says is taking over the developed world.

iran's nuclear ambitions have won some powerful backing as one hundred twenty countries wars their approval of peaceful atomic research in the country this was the key point in an unanimously adopted resolution that propped up a nonaligned movement summit and the us and israel had been left to reeling by the success of the gathering as they've been trying to undermine it all along it comes as a new i report suggested iran has doubled its nuclear capacity but the document was rejected by tacked on as politically motivated. there was another blow for israel and its western allies when un chief ban ki moon appeared at the summit he condemned their persistent aggressive rhetoric and threats of a strike on iran geo political analyst eric draitser believes the summit clearly indicates the u.s. efforts to isolate iran have been in vain. 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 was gone off as a tremendous success 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 l. barra die or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law iran plans to return to its oil exports to the levels they were before in july i see you back and then achieving that ironic expects help from its asian partners japan india and china have been regular customers of iranian crude despite the current sanctions

author and journalist afshin rattansi believes the nonaligned movement summit has shown the world real feelings towards iran. the united states and nature do not want any. or sovereignty to remain normal and movement nations it's a great pity and i hope those capitals those major capitals will get increasingly more frightened by what is happening as the global comes closer together in marriage terms of trying to overthrow what is basic question of germany their views regarding each other peace in the middle east and it will hold far more sway than any here imposed views from london washington or brussels and i suppose the way that they react is by not covering it in the mainstream media as much here with r.t. and so i have for you later this hour she was killed on purpose that's the bottom interview of a witness to the death of u.s.

activist rachel corrie by an israeli army bulldozer despite a court's controversial decision to clear the military coming plain. and a black hole at the border one hundred fifty thousand people slipped through the night south of u.k. immigration control with fears that there may in fact be more. the british high court has smashed the hopes and reputation of russia self exile tycoon buddies but it's off ski his high stakes lawsuit against billionaire compatriot romana but a mortgage was dismissed in one of the most expensive cases in legal history more on that from artie's laura smith. the final verdict in this case found against bodies 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 brought up what i want to promote himself was not in court but it is old

steve 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 for the viewing of the general public the. old 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 stiff sums of money off shore 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 has made this case a very difficult one to judge it's brought to london to school building a billion eggs along with their own to raj is make or expensive lawyers and walked

around these courts area in that shades in a menacing way but he said that is all this case says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that i promote 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 business partners that he was making payments to but is also key but they were only for political protection. roof in russian 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 being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been. hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the results of this case new when the bet is going to be this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. while news of that mega rich squabble over billions in london might not go

down well in crisis hit spain where it's hard to come by one in four is now out of a job porting the latest figures from europe stat. in a few minutes. also ahead acting in bad faith we explore the reasons behind an unprecedented rise of islamic extremism and russia following a series of assassinations on moderate muslim cleric. mitt romney officially accepted his nomination as republican presidential candidate this week as he did so he slammed his rival barack obama saying his handling of foreign affairs was poor romney said a much tougher stance must be taken toward some countries including russia but critics have questioned much of what was said can explains. 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 at 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 porson 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 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 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. you can check out our t. dot com for more on this and many other stories here's what you can find there right now. an eleven year old pakistani girl allegedly falls victim to any mom

who's accused of trying to frame her for blasphemy and a koran burning. also online the darkly humorous it she and scratchy characters from the simpsons lose a cap and mouse game to russian lawmakers find out how a dollar. a defeat for justice that's how a u.n. officially branded a verdict by an israeli court that cleared the military of any blame for the death of us activist rachel corrie she was run over by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three the twenty three year old was taking part in a protest against the demolition of palestinian homes in gaza but the judge ruled that her death was an accident and that she had brought it upon herself the verdict sparked a wave of concern among human rights groups who fear the case will set a dangerous precedent and allow israel to escape responsibility journalist tom dale

witnessed cory's death and says he's sure the driver killed her on purpose. 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 as an accident in my view as i told the court and as i told the israeli military investigation before the bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachel injuring which time he must have been able to see her for the last. head was visible above the top of the bulldozer blades just before she was crushed and she clambered on a mound of trying to escape so in my mind it's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen a culture in israeli military impunity so such crimes and the culture impunity is that should tell you to fortunately sometimes by the courts. attacks

against spiritual leaders in russia have been on the rise reselling raising fears of a steady growth in radical islam a spiritual leader i dug a stunning muslims was killed on tuesday when i see male suicide bombers enter the clerics home skies as a pilgrim and blow herself up as comes after example assault on muslim figures in the republic of last month r t z corpuscles found out where the roots of extremism marred leading. 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 on 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. some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab funds 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 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 small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one form a boiler house we build into a mosque in one of many apartment block you aren't it's the moms 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 to sincerely any quality 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 author is a band or even 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 stan 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 in the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to of r.t. guys i don't understand. you know and it's update on unemployment in the eurozone puts it at a record eighteen million and july that's more than ten percent the highest jobless rate since one thousand nine hundred five greece and spain are recorded the biggest increases a quarter of the spanish population is now out of a job the european central bank is also predicting negative growth for southern europe in twenty twelve and stagnation for france meanwhile the spanish region of catalonia responsible for one fifth of the country's economic output is asking madrid for over five billion euro zone rescue cats journalist and author. home

says that current economic policy hasn't bringing the resolution of the crisis closer. we haven't really tackle the problem with the euro so and we just have a program of our study to do for all the different countries to reduce the deficit does certainly not in all of these not working is a stifling growth which is an even worse problem and we are in the midst of a recession certainly here in spain and very soon in many other european countries so unless we have a clear idea of how to reform the euro no we're not. but it's not just the economic crisis it's also the economic policies spain is he said is now performing a very harsh agenda of a study to cuts and that is actually biting in all sectors of its funny economy and the problem is that is not working is not bringing down the deficit which is the main targets and then as i say he's damaging all the aspects of spain's economy. we'll have more on the eurozone crisis next hour including

a look at german chancellor merkel's visit to china and she hopes to tap into beijing's billions to help save the euro. while the politicians are working out a way to keep the single currency afloat some germans at home are digging out their old george marks in times of need. the u.k. is sounding the alarm over illegal immigration promising to take tough measures and create a hostile environment for those who don't have the right to stay but before they can be deported they have to be found and that's what the british legal system is having trouble with as are two sara for three ports. the black hole of the u.k. immigration system easy to guess in that no one's been properly tracking who should be and is getting out last month chief inspector john vine revealed just how bad things that the border agency were getting when he discovered more than one hundred

fifty thousand migrants that have been refused the right to remain in the k. had simply disappeared some people may have left the country some of them may still be here i think the key fact was that the agency had no idea how many were actually still in the country and how many had left in the wake of the revelations the government began talking tough immigration minister damian green said warning sent to immigrants would reduce the number who are able staying there these are the government's made a lot of noise about its efforts to cut immigration but at the total seven hundred billion pound government spending budget just one point nine billion is allocated to the u.k. border agency that's just a third of one percent it's an incredibly small amount and historically underfunded and still cripplingly under-resourced the u.k. border agency is now under pressure and the latest revelations that more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants the missing could just be the tip of the iceberg

about hundred fifty thousand figure came from the category of people have applied to extend their leave to remain in the u.k. . and there is a much bigger part of a million sounds about what the number of people here are about half which. immigration lawyer i mean is eighty tells us this the blue agencies don't have any hope of reducing the number of missing migrants they need to radically change their approach i think you need two percent stop promoting a very tough line because the people who absorb a tough line in the media or of course the markets and sells and they don't come forward if you promote a transparent and fair line and say we'll take every case individually. they want scope of these individual groups can stay. those people would come forward this hundred fifty nine would go down instantly and then applications could be processed properly instead it seems it will be a need database that will be depended upon to track down those staying in britain illegally expected to launch next month amongst the companies bidding for the
