a pandora's box their calculation is that true more oil they have unleashed in syria alternately will we can palestinian resistance of light of the fact that damascus has been a prime supporter of palestinian resistance and allowing attacks on to is really true tori from the golan heights is a small price to pay in that context i'm afraid that we are on the threshold of a regional war keep in mind that has a lot of leadership announced just a few days ago that they would not allow the regime to fall in damascus keep in mind as well that both hezbollah and the iranians have if you very strong warnings to the rebels not to desecrate shia shrines in syria and apparently that is what has happened in the last forty eight to seventy two hours i think that there is a diabolical plot to stoke sectarian conflict as a cover for destabilizing syria then moving on to try to destroy hezbollah law and

we can be islamic republic of iran. in the u.s. senators have been asked to consider providing weapons to syria and where bills a bill allowing the move was circulated despite claims by a senior u.n. investigator that the syrian opposition might have already resorted to using chemical weapons and he's correspondent in washington has the details washington is inching closer to or mean the rebels this monday the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee introduced a bill that would provide weapons to quote some very good groups of syrian rebels the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee also said the u.s. must act to tip the scales in favor of the opposition so we see washington trying to decide the outcome of the civil war in syria this monday the white house has basically brushed off the latest findings of the u.n. human rights commission wish that the syrian rebels may have used the deadly syrian nerve gets here is

a leading un investigators saying she was quote stupefied by the evidence chemical weapons were used in particular. in what was. what appear. to our investigation that was used by openings by the rebels and we have no no no indication at tool that the government authority of the city or government have used chemical weapons but i was happy to be stupefied that. first the first indication we got they were about the use of never been gassed by the opening to that the white house said we find it highly likely that chemical weapons if they were in fact used in syria and there certainly evidence that they were the our side was responsible end of quote so it seems that the white house is dismissive of evidence that could
8:05 am
suggest the use of chemical weapons by the rebels. and jersey shore from the socialist equality passing the u.s. believes america is turning a blind eye to extremist groups fighting in the rebel ranks within the political establishment here in the united states the democrats republicans are basically united on. purpose divided on how that may be carried out particular pretext that may be employed but i think it's quite likely that they are going to and of course united states as well that you know they officially criticize some forces islamic fundamentalists and. arming them through their allies saudi arabia qatar and let's now turn to r.t. dot com we are asking you where asking you what would happen if evidence of chemical weapons usage incriminates opposition fighters and let's now see how you've been voting so far nearly half of you forty four percent of you believe this would trigger intensified calls for military intervention just over
8:06 am
a third of you say the revelational will have no influence on calls to oust president assad at all about thirty six percent of you think this way twelve percent i think opposition parties are going to rika see the financial support for the rebels and the rest of you think they will be and more balanced approach to the conflict just about say eight percent of you so do go to r.t. dot com and how do you say that r.t. . syria will dominate talks between the u.s. secretary of state and the russian leadership here in moscow the two sides are deeply polarized over how the syrian conflict should be resolved and john kerry faces a real challenge to get russia's backing off he said it's a explain. u.s. state secretary john kerry is in moscow to seek russia's support in resolving the syrian conflict but experts are added dismay as to exactly how he is going to get that support given that the positions of most going to washington on the syrian conflict have been fundamentally different just twenty four hours before john kerry

landed in moscow the spokesperson of the russian foreign ministry alexander said that russia has been concerned with the militarization of the syrian rebels by the western countries the us have been expressing their regret all along that the syrian conflict has been going on for more than two years now with so many people dead at the same time the initiatives are which are now existing in washington wolf arming the syrian rebels and providing them with military training are creating something of a double standard situation in other particular point which will be discussed is the alleged use of chemical weapons by the government troops this is something of course russia is concerned yet again because from the russian standpoint it looks like the fact of the chemical weapons use it was not proved and it may be used as a pretext for a possible use of force in syria by the western forces by the u.s. in particular even despite that the investigation by the independent u.n.

shine is hosting the leaders of both parties stein and israel as the asian giant looks to boost its influence in the middle east for israel beijing is its largest trading partner in asia and prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to do more business that diplomatically beijing's leaning very much towards israel's arch rival palestine a day before netanyahu is a rival president palestinian leader mahmoud abbas was given a full state owners meeting in beijing president issues in pain went on to offer a four point peace plan calling for an end to the gaza blockade and the restoration of palestinian rights policy and reports now on the rush to the east the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas are currently in china they're there on a week long business trip but obviously they won't just be talking business they'll be talking politics and they'll be trying to further cooperate and intrench relations in the fields of economy trade and science and also develop political
8:10 am
trust for some time we have witnessed a whole china is trying to influence the middle east and play a bigger role in this part of the world if you look at israeli chinese relations in one thousand nine hundred two the two countries began and established diplomatic relations and since then they have developed increasingly close commercial military and strategic links trade between the two countries currently stands at around ten billion dollars a year their investments in israel are at the beginning or i believe they have a number of reasons why the inverse why did don't invest in his group. i think this think also in large political terms they think is really simple come through if they want to have a phone call to you. we also noticed. china has always supported the arab side in the conflict at least verbal if. you
8:11 am
notice that in the last in the recent past they have recovered maybe a little bit more hesitant. maybe they want to get something back from the arab side what is particularly interesting when we look at the relationship between israel and china is that it seems to be coming on the back of a cooling of the relationship between israel and the united states there's no secret that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the american president barack obama do not like each other and obviously netanyahu is going to look around in search for new partners one of whom could easily become china if you take note of how china is getting more and more powerful of how the world is becoming more multi-polar when it is clear that there is no room for ignoring a world power such as china if you look at the. and she's go in terms of asking for help china if you look at the north korea crisis where did countries go they are
8:12 am
china for help now return yahoo is in china at a particularly sensitive time in terms of israeli syrian relations many people are asking why he did not cancel his trip to go there and in fact what role the recent syrian israeli fear will have in terms of the agenda that is being addressed there china has always had a firm position toward syria and it has always been on the side of negotiations never did it support the bloodshed from either side of the conflict so it will be interesting to see what comes out of if anything israeli chinese discussions over the situation in syria. china is historically well placed to build bridges and the middle east the view of the mouth from the israel asia chamber of commerce china is regaining her position as a major international player in the gulf for the middle east china has a unique position in the fact that on the one hand it has very good relations with the palestinians with all the arab world including iran for example in the same
8:13 am
target they have in the past twenty years developed a very good relations with israel as well so that the many trysting position to talk to everyone moreover china is very well known to be against conflict against violence against the use of weapons bringing somebody into the middle east who is supporting finding solutions without using violence even if they are actually taking action not only by statements what also by pushing the palestinians the. hamas in the south and so on to lower the flames to use less and less violence that can be very useful for everyone coming up later a missing nuclear materials or raise security fears in the u.k. report on that and more after the break. wealthy british style. tirelessly.

8:15 am
you know watching aussie live from moscow welcome back both of fast instances of missing nuclear materials have been prevailed in britain and a health and safety watch to report acquired by r.c. businesses schools and hospitals have all four to shoulder in the heart of the stocks fell over the past decades. reports. we've received the freedom of information request that was put in to the health and safety executive here in the u.k. and we have that with us now and you can see as he goes down the list this year rainy employer tony m a c zero one three seven it's a roll call of extremely dangerous radioactive substances and unbelievably these have all gone missing more than thirty incidents in the last decade where these radioactive materials have been lost or misplaced say really quite disturbing
8:16 am
indeed and of course if you go down the list there are actually some big name companies only had dating back to eighty thousand and three got cheryl going down the list as early as last year you got incidents that are still under investigation so they still haven't been resolved we've had sellafield plants in cumbria we've had the royal free hospital in london all of these have been implicated in these various incidents from industry insiders as that ice they can see about this it's the sort of carelessness the surrounding these incredibly volatile dangerous substances that's really causing a lot of concern now the health and safety executive said that the teaching of care in the u.k. is on those handling the materials and of course once there are problems that a rise then the regulator will step in but of course i would a lot of people are now calling for is a real crackdown on this regulation because
8:17 am
a lot of these incidents while there have been some like the will for a hospital case that have been prosecuted a lot of them have simply received little more than a written warning and so industry insiders saying that you know it's simply not enough and then he said the real crackdown on this type of carelessness in the u.k. to be really strict is that a sort of quail to grave process where everything should be very carefully monitored and it he can see from the freedom of information requests that we have in front of us here you know just say many of the sheer volume of these in. this is what's really going to cause concern and of course that type of carelessness that kind of flatness the road security. they have implications if there were people who wanted to get hold of these types of materials if they fell into the role has then of course that would be deemed incredibly serious indeed and so i think really right now what the industry is five wants say is that the regulators take responsibility for this and that this situation is looked at through avoid similar
