international news live from moscow this is us he was me you know thanks for joining us fears of an all out sectarian spillover are increasing in lebanon the country's military says a rocket was fired towards israel from its territory after two shells blasted hezbollah strongholds in beirut all sunday and point to slee a's monitoring the situation and let's not talk to her live paula nice to see you from your point of view why are we seeing this escalation in lebanon right now. well the has been a beater that has killed he stated that he and his below are involved in the war in syria he was addressing thousands of his supporters in the southern beirut suburb

of dust on sunday and in that speech he pledged all out support for syrian president bashar assad saying that his shiite muslim group would stay in the syrian war to quote him to the end of the road and achieve victory together this want to say that his war was with the extremists he called an attack fearless he said that tens of thousands of them from all over the world all currently fighting in syria and he warned that if syria affords lebanon to would forward this into and he said would lead to israel occupying lebanon now live in his media is reporting that a rocket has been fired towards israel from the lebanese town of marjah ewen now this has been confirmed by the israelis although they say that there were no injuries this is off to two other rockets landed in the has been a stronghold in doubt here on sunday the lebanese army saying that those rockets were fired from inside lebanon towards the hizbollah stronghold the united nations has been concerned over his the lives involvement for quite some time. the arab

chiefs the arab league chief has urged them to stop fighting in syria but must try to address this during his sunday address saying why is the u.n. not calling on the extremists to stop fighting inside syria and again reiterating that they are fighting not only for syria but for lebanon as well earlier there were also dozens of his vilified as reportedly killed during fighting in a key syrian town of qusayr your so what we do see is the tension on the ground heating up. rise over seas paula sneer paula thank you very much indeed for that update. meanwhile the e.u. remains divided on whether to ease sanctions against syria allowing weapons shipments to rubble flying to france and the u.k. pushing hard for supplies however some e.u. members apollo's and which expires on friday this as russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and the u.s. secretary of state john kerry also meet in paris to prepare a peace conference on syria. has the details. it's not

a united front in fact differences seem to be at the center of this entire meeting happening today in brussels centering on syria we have the u.k. and france who are aggressively pushing for a partial lifting of the go on syria in order to send arms to the rebels the u.k. a foreign secretary william hague is trying to get the other e.u. members to agree with him that arming the a moderate arm of the so-called moderate rebels in syria also france's leaders have been particularly aggressive in trying to lobby the other leaders to be on board in fact today. leading newspaper also published a report saying that serious forces loyal to bashar al assad had used chemical weapons because one of the reporters had experience effects of it critics would certainly point out that the timing of the publication especially since leaders are to make a decision today now on the other side you have several countries that lifting any of borgo would mean that arms could eventually end up in the wrong hands in violent

hands in syria they're also pointing out to the fact that human human rights abuses have been committed by both sides which means it includes rebels in syria so again differences abound this isn't the subject of the conversation here in fact. if there is no agreement it seems that each country will have to have its all sanctions policy on syria that's already what we've been seeing the goal of this russia u.s. led talks for peace is to convince everybody to be on the same down for talks peace talks in geneva and now washington did indeed express their support for the rebels and this could prove to be a problem in trying to get all sides involved now bashar al assad in principle had said that he will attend those talks however the opposition has said that they will only do so if bashar al assad steps down we go back again to these pre-conditions these differences in before making any steps or progress into the peace process and we've already seen that everybody agrees essentially to have a solution for syria the crux of the matter here is how to go about doing so each

country seems to have its own vision. of how to accomplish this goal and this is already what we've been seeing for the past couple of years and we can say that it has been hampering any substantial can syria. and as always we want to know your opinion on virus issues and today on our website r.t. dot com where asking you what your staind about these latest talks on syria proposed by russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and his us count about john kerry and as i just said on our website dot com here's our online poll and you can go there and cast your vote and so far let's now have a look at how you've been voting just over forty percent actually forty three percent of you believe these peace talks won't take place at all it's life unless of you agree a peace plan isn't syria's future but it's one with the country's opposition won't be able to hold and eighty percent believe president assad will step down and the same amount also eighty percent of you say the syrian rebels will stop receiving

funding from turkey gulf nations and the west that's how the figures look at this hour log on to r.t. dot com and have your say. and still to come here on i'll see a world wide front as president obama offers a new look at the you are sworn terror were examined the legal issues behind america's global military activities very shortly. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of kandahar. joint operations rule the day. central paris was engulfed in violence over the weekend as police quieted down on

the crowds protesting against a same sex marriage law passed last month this by the rally being largely peaceful throughout the day it ended up in in tear gas and clashes reports say three hundred fifty protesters were arrested and dozens injured the interior ministry and mobilized over all styles and police to maintain security organizers said around a million joined in a rally while police reported just one hundred and fifty thousand and out spoke to john laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation of power is told me he believes the french government feels threatened. i think the french police under the leadership of the military of the interior regards these demonstrations. ideological threat to their power and i did indeed that's what they are the ministry of interior had fully expected the far right groups to join the protests and provide clashes over four thousand police were mobilized to maintain security

is so why would they are unable to control the situation after all this is the government propaganda this is precisely the way that the government has been seeking to do digital buys what is a simply what is a massive. demonstration that is overwhelmingly peaceful they have gathered together a million people to the last majority of it demonstrated peacefully and they were met in the run up to the demonstration on sunday with a very hostile crowd quickened by the government the ministry of the interior said children should not come there is going to be violence it's not it was very strong the impression we got very strongly commentators about this is that it's a lie it was that the government was doing everything it could to dealership demise this demonstration and to discourage people from coming in the u.s. enjoys a vast ministry of presence worldwide and was simply president obama unveiled a new face to the war on terror defending america's overseas policies but there are more questions about the naval bases for this military activity when the u.s.

is fighting wars under the cover of military threats. can now reports president obama in his major national security speech this may quoted james madison saying no nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare at the very same time the administration claims power to wage endless war across the globe there was a senate hearing this may revisiting the authorization for use of military force which congress enacted days after nine eleven attacks in two thousand and one at the hearing pentagon officials claimed that authorization gives the president power to wage endless war anywhere in the world including syria yemen and the congo and when asked how long they predict this war on terror is going to last they said quote from ten to twenty years and one way of understanding this is you say ten to twenty years when you see no end in sight here's a clip from that hearing on the agree with me that when it comes to international terrorism we're talking about a worldwide struggle. absolutely sure that would you agree with me the field is

where the enemy chooses to make it. yes sir from boston the. time i couldn't agree with you more do you agree with the general. the enemy of the troops so by the administration's definition the wall that is the battlefield with me today is brian becker with the answer coalition for protection brian you have president obama saying that his national security speech that the u.s. is not engaged in a boundless war and yet you have this vast military presence across the globe washington post cited a senior administration official who said u.s. special operations forces were active in seventy five countries to that you had the drone strikes and new drone bases does it look like the u.s. this really seeking to limit itself in the use of military force no in fact the policy in the institutional policy is for the united states that it would be prepared for endless war but that being engaged in all of the activities that would lead one to believe that they are an endless war there's one point three million

u.s. military personnel three hundred to four hundred thousand of them are overseas there's nine hundred military bases the united states spends not five hundred twenty five billion which is the defense department budget but really about a trillion dollars on warfare that's greater than the next sixteen nations combined we see an integrated network of bases now drone bases growing increasingly this is to have a full spectrum domination using the military as the club the administration argues that all their military actions in the countries that the u.s. is not at war with are perfectly legal under the u.s. congress it's authorization for use of military force that's their legal justification for continuing all these attacks what about international law well international law has been shredded by the so-called global war on terrorism or the authorization bill that allows the u.s. to invade any country bomb any country and kill whoever it wants the u.n. charter is quite clear. the united states like all other member nations of the

united nations can only go to war in gaijin more engage in military activity. as an act of self-defense in other words the defense from an imminent threat but in fact the united states by arrogating to absolve the right to war anywhere against anyone all the time is clearly in violation of international law but president obama says the administration does not violate anybody's sovereignty because it operates in consultation with the governments concerned the whole population of pakistan their parliament unanimously remotely oppose drone strikes and yet they continue so maybe the administration is in consultation with the government there but certainly not the people i'm going to check on me today was brian becker with the answer coalition from our studio in washington thanks for watching. is president obama really a consulate's for change or does he pursue the same goals as his predecessors as the question posed in crosstalk with the debate centering on the u.s. president's foreign policy and he's likely. think when we compare like nixon to

bush or obama there's really not much of a comparison we do have something like an imperial presidency now well i don't know if i'd go that far i would say obama you know he was swept into power in two thousand and eight as a you know on change on hope he was really idealistic so originally he had foreign policies that were very different from what what what had happened in the past and he was saying we shouldn't gauge with so-called rogue states he was saying that we should make this huge effort to engage the muslim world and so he gave a very famous speech in cairo he even went into the very same course saying the u.s. policy on israel by really pushing the israelis to do more and on and on settlements and he wanted to big strategic deep relationship with pakistan but all of that basically didn't work out. and you can watch the full edition of crosstalk right here on our c at twelve says a chanty. it also took on this song u.k.

to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels the seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel factions al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army isn't much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian l. white minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s. funded and armed the taliban and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the u.s.
