rebel onslaught but the insurgents are talking only of a successful offensive casualties are mounting in the battle that began in july with neither side being able to seize the initiative formed while in the suburbs of damascus dozens of also reportedly been killed and five fighters over the weekend the u.s. has pledged more than forty million dollars in financial support to the rebels as russia warns that this will only lead syria deeper into turmoil the country supposedly sizable chemical weapons stockpiles have also come into focus with opposition fighters apparently are in them political analysts paul or a phony says the western policy on syria could put those increasingly at risk of capture. eventually if the storage is really exist it is possible that the extremist islamic groups probably because we have different groups operating. as extreme islamist groups in syria may get hold of these stories the problem is

that this will happen the more the assad regime would be weakened so. you really don't understand your the most city that is in the west but one side trying to get rid of assad without a good placement for him on the other side being afraid that these groups would take all. of these kinds of weapons so it's sort of nonsense. to do this we are witnessing. syria and iran have been that the center of the heated debate at the annual u.n. general assembly well they're also calling for an end to some countries sidestepping the international body this is try to draw up quite literally a case for intervention marina but nyeri imports from new york. as world leaders gathered for the annual u.n. general assembly international anger over and islamophobia american film was still

blazing in the muslim world addressing the world body u.s. president barack obama condemned the video nonetheless defending the right to free speech as president of our country and commander in chief of our military i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so obama also pledged his support for arab spring nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part of an organized campaign against islamic sentences is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is

usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with us president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hot to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their voices are not heard even if they constitute ninety nine percent of their societies meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for a military ultimatum on iran over its nuclear program using some surprising methods to illustrate his point this is a bomb this is a fuse

a red line should be drawn right here before we iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment. necessary to make a bomb israel stole the show in more ways than one would be. what's more the wiley coyote nuclear bomb. you really get of her tandem are you going to pretend that you don't know what a nuclear bomb hoax like. to hear israel. one downstairs in a look in the basement on another us show russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov recalled another time props were used at the u.n. to garner support for military intervention. when my good friend colin powell colin powell was shaking this violet's some white ball in there in the security council. then mary can see what they're doing us unless we also writes the

use of force against iraq we would do in their own thoughts a few stories. and the turned out to be that there was no anthrax and that while today russia and the u.s. remain divided over how to end the civil war in syria moscow says some countries supporting the opposition are turning a blind eye to terrorist attacks committed by the rebels. they pushed syria even deeper into the of base of bloody internet scene strife the militarization of the conflict is continuing with calls of an open intervention russia says confidence in the un has also been compromised by unilateral actions taken against countries like cuba iran and now syria there are consequences to unilateral sanctions imposed by state group of states sidestepping the un to advance their political goals we have no doubt that such sanctions especially when they are applied ex territorially

weaken the unity of the international community and undermine the effectiveness of its efforts the un was originally founded as an arena for all parties to respectfully discuss issues and diplomatically collaborate on solutions as the sixty seventh year of the general assembly begins many are left wondering why at least one country has cemented a pattern of acting alone or enough artsy new york julian assange also managed to address world leaders in new york despite still being holed up in ecuador's embassy in london where we could be said of the has spent the last three months at the diplomatic mission britain maintains a lesson american country must hand over his sons to the authorities so he can be extradited to sweden to surf earth has more. clayton having been. in the at the way to.

find stuff lightning at the un. the us administration is trying to erect. a national regime of secrecy a national regime. a regime where you need government employee revealing sensitive information to a media organization can be sentenced to death life imprisonment or espionage now you speak not only about his own battle but about the wider implications that this could if the u.s. continues along this cools the songs the founder of wiki leaks wanted in sweden for questioning exactly the saw allegations that some of the soldiers critics. and his legal team claiming asylum from ecuador very tempting in some way to have a justice not genius ingenues if you would with the way they've been about the fact that they they want the questioning to go ahead they're ready to face up to that will they do you say they want to hear whether you.

know recently the like documents that came from the u.s. that revealed the fact that the sunshine wiki leak the name. of it is even there any solutions which leads to people who want wiki leaks could end up committing. well that's. the wiki leaks that would look like. a revelation to the coffee cup they have got an iraq war loads of detail. that the u.s. government said locality would rather you didn't know about. turkey's prime minister one has been really acted as the leader of the country's ruling party at a major political conference speaking at the gathering at the one o one so again sled the assad regime in the neighboring syria dr hussein boxee of the middle east technical university says however that rhetoric will not help him

score political points. the turkish government has miscalculated the events in syria they have expected that arab spring would be having the same situation like in levy on like intern asia or in egypt all this tatars believe but in case of syria turkey has been indeed in the last five years particularly a very very close to syria bashar assad can bear down became good fellows if you want and suddenly this change of turkey has done here the policy what the united states of america and european union suggested and this is why the turkish people do not support the policy of the government. georgia has seen some of its biggest opposition rallies today with over one hundred thousand people turning up for pre-election demos in the capital and in the country's second largest city on saturday in just two hours the polling stations in georgia will open multan the

beginning of parliamentary elections in the country and the anti-government where it has been fielded by the recent prison torture scandal was sparked mass protests and international condemnation georgian authorities else accused of high level corruption and cracking down on activists who speak out against the government the opposition blame civil see of using dirty tricks to retain its image and got this going off in polls there are claims that someone at the expense of the georgian north or in. the outcome of a recent alleged police operation near georgia's border with russia's republic of dagestan eleven suspected terrorist dead b.b.c. says the armed men were chechens who crossed into georgian territory and kidnapped around ten locals before being caught by police the news spreads quickly but not everyone is buying it the only place was all organized by georgian security services the lack of transparency and details about the incident has led many to

believe the whole so-called n.t. terror operation was a complete hoax georgian authorities have been very successful in creating an image of a modern western civilised speak a beacon of freedom by george w. bush once called it but in this case the opposition's accusations are fighting supporters on the other side of the caucasus meets his city on the move he spent two decades fighting on the side of chechen militants against moscow and fishery representing them in georgian he also has downs about what really happened at this latest water operation. first of all their weapons were american made second no. one of them fired off a single shot that's not so the uniforms of the so-called fighters were brand new that was saakashvili plan he sent his guys across the border into russia and then had them shot by the georgian police this was a setup just to frame russia no one will ever be able to prove anything of course.

he cleans to be easy for dishing with terrorists began in the name t s when you personally helped chechen separatists by delivering weapons and aid from georgia. surely the pankisi gorge in georgia is really close to chechnya it takes just ten minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the injured and then send them all around the world for treatment and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian terrace center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought them. album of says that he's interested in jewish and milton's didn't diminish even after president saakashvili came to power and then often bridge street as an envoy of democracy. everything is still controlled by the

anti-terrorist center the mujahideen and the gym are in it's hands they are their people and the chechen who lives in georgia and wants to study in an islamic country have to go through the anti terror center they tell you to tbilisi you go to the center meet some official and they won't let you go into you say yes to you agree to work for them although i'm of graeme's that his knowledge almost cost him his life following an assassination attempt he was allowed to return to church now with a green light from russian authorities after he asked for forgiveness now he plans to reveal everything he knows he would just come off grossly the chechen republic. and i just soldier and a civilian contractor have been killed in eastern afghanistan and in the parent green on blue attack the incident brings the number of deaths among u.s. military personnel in afghanistan to two thousand. from the party nationalists

foreign believes the revival of the taliban is evidence of just how bad the situation is in the country the beginning of the drawdown confirms one very very important thing and i think it should be the biggest during some of that is done today and that is the americans and nato will be leaving of one is done as a mess and all the statements we heard from the u.s. government from nato about leaving afghanistan in a better position are is just a lie and of course the the fact that the taliban are resurging again and really emerging is just and evidence and i think the the international community the world public opinion should really ask hard questions and pose these tough questions to nato about the nation building project in advanced on where is it and where did they go wrong and why did the international community and the countries of the region had to pay and invest so much in afghanistan and give so much confidence really to to to to the united states to nato to do something good in afghanistan which hasn't happened in a. they're leaving afghanistan as

a burden on the stability of their region and as a burden on the countries of the region. relations between china and japan worsened this week as the dispute over a chain of islands in the east china sea escalates a number of protests were held in both countries throughout the week taiwan has also claimed which lay around two hundred kilometers off its coast the i.q. pallo go is believed to contain large reserves of natural gas south korea's president warned that it is a security is becoming increasingly unstable juge of the territorial dispute investigative journalist james kopp it says a some world powers i interested in stoking up the conflict. a stance of believe this is about the potential boiling gas reserves that have been estimated to be in that area but i think we have to understand this entire dispute not in terms of the islands themselves this is being played up as a as a nationalist sentiment nationalist fervor it has the potential to to get bigger it

will see if it does broaden out into the region we see the u.s. starting its asia pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in increasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more eager to accept an american military presence which up until now there's been quite strong protests against but now we see them renewing military and joint military exercises in guam etc so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket says that as it were and i think that's that plays into american interests. world news this hour in a rug a series of coordinated attacks targeting shia communities has left at least thirty two people dead and around seventy injured the bombings took place throughout the country with the deadliest assault in taji we levon people died in two back to back car blast so far no one claimed responsibility for the attacks.
