a dead end of the security council prompting britain and france to him they might sidestep the un altogether meanwhile the new international envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi warned that any military intervention would be the death of peace efforts professor paul sheldon food from california state university says that for some it's not about ending the violence. it's a pretext it's a still another way to divide and take over the country using the united nations as your vehicle that playbook worked in libya they want to try the same playbook and no it doesn't work anymore well there's no desire by. the less. of a negotiated settlement the only purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east or pipeline such as by way of syria iran and other places i think the people in the west to be very happy that ended up with a massive civil war and a breakup of the country and

a lack of competition lifelines the claim that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross law. timor bomb blasts have had damascus going off almost simultaneously near the headquarters of the joint chiefs of staff say t.v. says four people were injured in the explosions the number of bomb attacks that these are some of which have been claimed by al qaeda have grown shop the in recent months they said to be selling panic among residents of the capital and across the country fueling further the exodus of refugees but as r.t.f. policy or report what they find when they gave up and make them wish they'd never left. 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 are fleeing across into jordan they're picked up on 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 the growing number is putting pressure on an already refugee way republic we can't close the border on the faces of the refugees we have to help them syria is like a sister to jordan and king abdullah and president assad friends now our king is in a very difficult situation goes on has a direct impact on what has here our 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 with 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 army at the. if there is regime change in syria and the extremists come to power this will make problems for jordan where we have our own extremists far more flexible. and so now jordan faces the backlash of a conflict which some in the country have helped ischl eight 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. the atmosphere here is so so bad syria 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

but caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the serious shockwave however that conflict in policy r.t. zar to a refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border. where the pressure on syria piling up france is increasingly being seen as the leader of the west's efforts against assad but director of the french center for intelligence studies eric denise says the french policy is on syria depend on a steady stream of one sided reporting. i would say we don't truly foreign policy for the time being i mean the mainstream in paris is emotion everything is about emotion we are absolutely under the disinformation of the movies of the. men right now and the people are reacting only with emotion we don't doubt the least good reflection about geopolitics and the but the we have to plea in in the middle east even if the political leaders that change you know a few months ago most of the policy of the same and most of the diplomatic teams

are of the same books lack of friends he's now the new luxury of the us like the u.k. has always been this is where the operation is a good between us and france because we are doing their policy. selective reporting however isn't just limited to france earlier this week there was another glaring example a story about how rebels were appalled using a blindfolded prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber disappears from mainstream airways related statements series of such reports it went quickly shelved see that next hour. also we could leave weighs in on syria with the millions of leaked the government the e-mails while delimit funded last week transnational surveillance empire that he says is taking over the developed world. iran's nuclear ambitions have worn some poll full backing as one hundred twenty countries voice their approval of peace for atomic research in the country that's all the key point

summit has 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 its all exports to the levels they were and before july z e u ban and in achieving that iran expects help from asian partners japan india and china have been regular customers of iranian crude despite the current sanctions author and journalist often rotund they believe the number aligned movement summit has shown the well's real feelings towards iran the united states and nature do not want any type of or sovereignty to remain normal i move nations it's

a great pity and i hope those capitals as major capitals will get increasingly more frightened by what is happening as the global comes closer together in their attempts at trying to overthrow what is basic western a germany their views regarding any kind of peace in the middle east will hold vamose way than any are 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. still ahead for you later this hour she was killed on purpose that's the adamant you are a witness to the death of you as active as rachel corrie nine israeli army bulldozer despite a cause a controversial decision to clear the military from any blame. and a black hole at the border one hundred fifty thousand people slip through the nets

putin will see less flexibility and more backbone end of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for a lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney's flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is this is joke 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. the british high court has smashed the hopes and reputation of russia's self exiled tycoon boris berezovsky in his eyes stakes your suit against billionaire compatriot roman abramovich was dismissed in one of the most expensive cases in legal history one that from march. the final verdict in this case found against a body 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 all skiing for for a. run up but i want to promote himself was not in court but his old scheme was he

a wave of concern among human rights groups who feel the case will set a dangerous precedent and allow israel to escape responsibility journalists tom dale witness cory's death and says he saw the driver killed her on purpose. it's 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 does not sit in my view so i told the court and as i told the. bulldozer driver. a very long drive up. before he got to racial gearing which time he must have been able to see a lot. of the took place just before she was crushed and she commented on amount of trying to escape so my mind absolutely no doubt that he would have seen a culture in israeli military impunity for such crimes and the cultural impunity the should it take it fortunately sometimes by the courts right check out

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 authorities say 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 many apartment block yards it's the moms denying radical but admit 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 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

jobless rate since one thousand nine hundred ninety five was affected countries spain where a quarter of the population is now out of work journalist and author mcgill on chill morada says said current day konami policy isn't bringing a resolution of the crisis any closer. we haven't really tackled a problem with the euro so we just have a program of our strategy for all the different countries to reduce the deficit very certainly not and also is not working. i fling 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 are not tuned in to good troat but it's not just the economic crisis it's also the economic policies spain is he said it is now performing a very hard agenda of austerity cuts and that is actually biting all sectors of the spanish 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 an attempt to tap into the time of well german chancellor angela merkel tries to and will be seen as the billions to prop up the eighty euros a. and to while the politicians are working out a way to keep the single currency afloat back in germany be told to doit's proving to have more than just sentiment pull back. the u.k. 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 our teeth are for it reports. the black hole of the u.k. immigration system easy to guess in but no one's been properly tracking who should

be and is going out last month chief inspector john vine revealed just how bad things at the u.k. border agency were guessing when he discovered more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants that have been refused the right to remain in the u.k. had simply disappeared some people may have left the country some of the most 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 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 let me explain why one hundred fifty thousand figure came from the category of people have applied to extend their leave to remain in the u.k. refused and then go into a much bigger part of a million sounds about what number of people are here about half which are actually in london immigration lawyer mears eighty tells us this the buddha agencies don't have any hope of reducing the number of missing migrants they need to radically change their approach i think you need to present really strong promoting a very tough line because the people who absorb the top flight in the media or of course the markets and sells and they don't come forward if you promote a transparent and fair lines they will take every case individually. they want to go with these individual groups can stay. most 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 neat database that will be depended upon to track down those staying in britain illegally expected to launch next month among the companies bidding for the turned is g four s. g four s. the company that created a high profile controlled the sea recently when it fell to deliver enough stuff for the olympic games they're seeking their multi-million pound contract it's a place to aid the cleanup of a catalogue of disasters and mismanagement in the u.k. immigration system so if r.c. london and i pick a vendor of the past has been brought back to life in russia thousands of actors in historic uniform have recreated the battle of bora deano when russian soldiers for the invasion of napoleon exactly two centuries ago artie's tom barton has more from the front line. battle is raging here at the field of bora deano to the west of moscow the french and the russians have squared up

a cannons are blasting the infantry squaring up and the cavalry is preparing to charge and the reenactment of the climactic battle of napoleon's invasion of russia two hundred years before cousens of people have turned out to see this reenactments and real naturism come both from russia and all the way from france and germany to take part really all of this on the scale of a hollywood film all the people here getting just a part of the experience of what it was like to be present at that great historical moment polly and marched into russia in one thousand told with what was there a largest army ever assembled he intended to make imperial russia soon for peace and so become a master of europe but it was here at this point to the west of moscow that the russians decided to stand and fight the result being an enormous long and brutal civil war going much of a battle the french guns pounded the russian lines all day rather like this but the

russians failed to break they stood their ground the next day they were forced to retire from the field having lost so many men but polian took moscow but he wasn't able to keep it within two years not only had the polian failed to make imperial russia super p.c. it was the russian army that was marching into paris. right usng r.t.l. be back with the headlines in a few minutes stay with us.
