live from our studio center here in moscow this is r.t. with international news and comment twenty four hours a day for the first time since the outbreak of the syrian conflict sources have told r.t. that israel used a turkish military base to launch a recent attack against syria a middle east correspondent paula has the details. auti sources tell us that israel used turkish military bases to launch attacks inside syria the latest attack was carried out in early july when there was a pre-dawn strike on the syrian city of latakia that allegedly targeted russian made anti ship missiles u.s. officials speaking on condition of anonymity say that this attack on this weapons

of this pope was in all likelihood and israeli airstrike it happened not far from a russian base and there is suspicion from many quarters that israeli fighter jets were responsible a number of syrian troops were killed and wounded in those explosions no one has officially come forward and came to sponsibility for the attack r.t. requested a reaction from the israeli government about the government declined to comment what is important is that the attack from the reports we have from our sources here in r.t. originated on the turkish side of the border our sources telling us that is late playing lift a military base inside to a key and approach the taqiyya from the sea to make sure that they stayed out of the syrian air space so that they could not become a legitimate target for the syrian air force this if true is yet a mother brazen israeli attack on a foreign country without any declaration of war as well in turkey have not been

the best of friends in recent years we have the flu tell incident back in two thousand and ten in which nine people were killed that was condemned internationally and although there were conflicting reports as to exactly what happened israel never stepped forward with an apology and to march at the time to give a court its ambassador it suspended ties with israel and what we see now is a sudden change of heart in turkey towards israel they can now be legitimate questions asked about these sincere motivation for the apology that israel gave over that fertility. incident questions need to be asked how and why an islamic country like turkey is allowing its arch enemy israel to use turkish bases to bomb a nother muslim nation and no doubt there is going to be massive fallout for turkey because of this corporation with israel turkey has firmly denied israel used its military bases to launch a raid against syria or is pretty boyko has the official reaction now from istanbul

. a letter from the foreign ministry in turkey saying that the turkish foreign minister has addressed these allegations in the turkish media today and we know that he has said that he flatly denies any cooperation with the israeli military on any attacks in latakia alleged israeli attacks in the attack here now we've also received a letter from the turkish embassy in moscow echoing the words of the foreign minister saying that the reports of turkish corporation with israel are surely groundless and nothing to do with reality they also underline the fact that turkey will not be a partner to any military operation with israel turkish prime minister has been a vocal supporter of the syrian rebels he's called for russia to step down publicly behind the scenes it's been widely reported that he is

a major coin jewett for rebel weaponry flowing into syria we know that there are rebels and syrian opposition figures that receive medical assistance that receive training and that fund raiser plan. from southern turkey that side of turkey that part is known as a so-called buffer zone somewhat of a safe haven for syrian opposition figures that have been a number of exchanges of artillery and mortar fire from the syrian turkish border there have been a number of explosions. has pointed the finger at damascus for launching so-called terrorist attacks on the border while damascus has blamed syrian opposition figures and islamic militants for causing this trouble overall turkish officials have made it clear that they want to avoid any direct military involvement in syria.

relations between turkey and israel have been at the lows since the two thousand and ten commando raid on a turkish humanitarian aid flotilla which spot fury from ankara at the time the turkish prime minister accused israel of carrying out a massacre saying it won't be able to clean the blood off its hands and the un said israeli troops were in breach of international law in twenty twelve for former israeli commandos went on trial in absentia on charges of inciting murder through cruelty and torture however in march this year all legal action came to an unexpected and abrupt halt after benjamin netanyahu and spoke on the phone with the israeli prime minister expressing his regret at the loss of turkish life let's get more on this from political analyst chris bambery chris if ankara is involved in this senate is confirmed to be the case what do you make of this certainly unlikely alliance between turkey and israel. well bill we

should remember that prior to taking office a decade ago all took and usually very close our eyes in the middle east remember to the talk here is a key nato frontline state with a massive military had been given to it by one three seats so there is a historical lines between israel and turkey fueled by dislike of many of the arab states and both conceived as being enemies know under her the lion the military be brought under some some control in turkey and i think the question must be truthful firstly agree to the use of a turkish military base for an attack on syria this is going to fuel the discontent which is already facing with the demonstrations born elsewhere in tax and square given that oh the wind has gone to poor there's been someone who supported hamas in the gaza strip as being a friend of the powers the unions and has gone a long way back on historical lines visually yes although if you are the one agreed

to such an attack it would you dare about damage for him ok so talk about the tensions domestically what about why the implications with the arab world for example how would they view his foreign policy on this. well i think in some countries in the arab world so do reappear kotite else we really could not care who is carrying out attacks on the outside regime you wouldn't care if israel was doing its own elves because their agenda is so far there either but i think across the arab world it will be seen as bad news and it will be seen this is after all the fourth is really tacked on syrian territory that we know of and it's clear that israel sort of the israelis have carried out this attack and if the turkish military have supported this attack in any way the new it's going to open up a whole can of worms inside inside the region because we know as well that israel would wait to use tookie as a staging point for an attack on iran and if they're allowing the use of bases for

a science in syria will that use the same basis for an attack on iran and therefore there's going to be a growing consternation across the region of both the coming possible coming back together again of some form of alliance de facto between the two of those talks and israel and apart from the threat from iran though chris surely the immediate threat for israel is weapons getting into the hands of hezbollah so if they have carried out there's attacks they are justified are they in self-defense. well there may be just by the image justify it in terms of the support that drove his waddle remember it's israeli aggression against lebanon and here's why i was only defending lebanon against repeated incursions invasions by so let's get that one right but second we should also recall who is it that the west are arming in syria they're arming al-qaeda and other supporters maybe israel is maybe a bit worried about some of those weapons going to our hands it's a rather strange topsy turvy world where we haven't defined what seems to be

a fact alliance between saudi arabia on the one hand and israel in opposition to the assad regime and it shows just how far things have come down the road in their determination of various things to unseat the acid regime and how there's a goal in pursuit of that of that goal really interesting get your perspective on this chris thank you very much indeed for joining us live there in london chris bambery thank you marty thanks a lot. well meanwhile syrian state t.v. is announce the army has discovered a rebel operated chemical laboratory packed with toxic substances the military claims they were destined to be packed into mortars and used to attack government forces in damascus it comes a week after the army far more than two hundred eighty barrels of hazardous chemicals at a rebel hideout in a different city the syrian u.n. ambassador claimed it was potentially enough to devastate a whole city and a geisha of chemical weapons being used by both sides been a crucial issue in the international dispute on how to handle the conflict in syria

both the rebels and assad's forces have repeatedly made claims and counterclaims over the use of nerve gas belgian journalist willie van dam who's been closely following the syrian conflict says the allegations of rebels using chemicals very familiar. would be used and of course we only know the students made by the syrian government but. we all it's. oil industry interaction. you know you're right about united states united states media similar allegations against some of the derivatives. buck limited use of chemical weapons. was made by the syrian government and by others again a few days rebels. and most of them are. people who used to post in iraq are not buying in syria's president putin says cia

whistleblower edward snowden will depart from russia as soon as he has the opportunity well for more details on this let's cross over to but the question ever she's here in the studio with me you've been closely following this story medina so where does putin statement put snowden's immediate future what's going to do next well indeed president lives in a prison south of the former n.s.a. contractor adverse snowden will leave for a shot as soon as he gets such an opportunity but for now the situation remains unclear and he also reminded the conditions on which russia is ready to cry into mr snowden asylum now these conditions are if he stops any activities which are aimed at harming the united states like they were put in sad that outburst no one came here whereas knowing that invitation that he is a transit passenger traveling to other countries.

we didn't invite edward snowden and russia wasn't his final destination anyway he was in transit but as soon as he began his journey his route was revealed and our u.s. partners effectively blocked his for their flight they even made other countries afraid of taking him no one wants to so he ended up blocked on our territory. and now the leader is from mr snowden came on the twelfth of july and that was his first public appearance within the last three weeks which he spent in a transit zone now mr snowden said that he is now seeking an temporal asylum in russia as he is no longer able to travel to the south american countries and he said. so far well there are three countries in south america which are of and as well a believe in nicaragua and of these countries they could all for asylum to the american whistleblower however in that public appearance he he asked in particular

for safe passage to secure his travel to south america now he also said that he will submit an asylum application and he hopes that it will be accepted however as of today russian migration officials are no longer commenting whether they have or have not received any asylum plea coming from adverse knowledge and now the american whistleblower flew to moscow from hong kong and he's basically being stuck in a transit zone for the last three weeks so where would he go next the mystery continues ask the question thanks a lot for following the story and more from you know. more developments thanks very much indeed medina coaching over there. or snowden reportedly still has some extremely sensitive and detailed documents which are likely to make america just a little nervous they apparently relate to how the national security agency is structured and operate that's according to guardian journalist glenn greenwald

who's been breaking the news from the cia leaker. he's in possession of literally thousands of documents that contain very specific blueprints that would allow somebody who read about him to know exactly how the n.s.a. does what it does which would internal album either to evade that surveillance or to replicate it and that's what i was talking about that he has basically be instruction manual for how the n.s.a. is built. on the website of the moment in germany the words united stars of america appeared on the walls of the u.s. embassy on sunday comparing washington's spying tactics to east germany's infamous intelligence service was carried out by the hacktivist group anonymous just a week after a similar action by the online activists came on our website at the moment fifteen minutes past the hour now the news continues here and i'll take.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. which. we can with. some of. the consensus. choose the opinions that you.

choose the stories that impact. choose. to. many cities across the u.s. have been in gulf in protests after a controversial court verdict thousands express their anger at the equal of george zimmerman who shot dead unarmed black teenager trayvon martin what is more important has more. but justice for trayvon protests as they're being called drew tens of thousands of americans into the streets throughout the weekend in many cities like new york their crowd was much bigger than most anticipated thousands of new yorkers is estimated possibly up to ten thousand marched through manhattan sunday evening beginning in union square and converging in times square and then continuing uptown now at many points cars were blocked because the rally took over

mean streets and avenues if you saw some tweets online some would say that this rally actually occupied times square now police and demonstrators did eventually clash on the upper east side as cops deployed pepper spray and at least one bottle was thrown as the scene became very tense according to reports more than a dozen protesters were arrested during the new york demonstrations against george zimmerman's acquittal of the in the fatal shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin however rallies and l.a. in oakland california turned more violent as history as protesters clashed with police in oakland the windows were smashed and police cars were damaged there were also reports of small fires burning throughout the city according to reports he's fired rubber bullets against some of the protesters and several demonstrators were transported to the hospital in l.a. officials say nine people were arrested during ongoing demonstrations the l.a.p.d.

says some protesters hurled flashlights batteries and rocks and chunks of concrete at police and the cops responded by shooting beanbags at the protesters now demonstrations in washington d.c. denver atlanta philadelphia and boston also reportedly attracted very large crowds and the fatal shooting of trayvon martin occurred in florida last february but the incident has come to symbolize a national debate on racial profiling and gun laws zimmerman a former neighborhood watch volunteer shot the on armed glock seventeen year. world claiming it was in self-defense now critics believe that it was a racially motivated crime that has gone on from there since imerman has been found not guilty zimmerman supporters see his his acquittal in line with protecting the rights to bear arms and the right to self-defense made all these protests that are they're spreading nationwide the u.s. justice department is looking into the prosecution of george zimmerman on criminal

civil rights grounds federal prosecutors would have to show that mr zimmerman attacked martin because of his race and that the attack was on justify even if this federal prosecution doesn't come to bear similar men may still face a civil lawsuit from trayvon martin's family but clearly as we see from the pictures and the photographs that have been put on line and from what i witnessed myself in new york city there is a lot of aggravation and anger surrounding the ruling in this case because he's killed the fatal shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin. for that well for more on the story i'm joined by professor at least she's from the university of minnesota who plans to join the protests now what's your personal motivation for joining the demonstrations. well first of all i ask you for having me what's really important right now given. the racial polarization in the united states is

that white people speak up not just people of color about this kind of unjust we know that our justice system on has incredible racial disparity on who is who is arrested who goes to or who's convicted length of sentence. all are about people who are serving much more time are we also know. in this country or people in power value the lives of people of color less than the cost why is this all about race one and hispanic and the black were involved isn't it more about us gun that installation and self-defense laws no george zimmerman identifies as a white responder we have different racial categories in the united states so he is mixed race and is considered quite as panicked and certainly looks white and we know from things he said when he was brought in by the police and many of the tapes

he perceived a young black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt as trouble as if i am right he was not our official neighborhood watch dog followed him he perceived him as a violent. and we'll never know what happened during rush hour gun legislation and self-defense laws being completely overshadowed by this i believe it's primarily a race issue yes one again this is also in the context of less than a month ago the supreme court changed the one nine hundred sixty five civil rights act so that it's harder now for people to register to vote actually in southern states so it's it's a multiple attacks through the judicial system against people over all the protest coming just a bit too soon because the justice department said it will consider civil rights. charges against zimmerman presumably that's because of pressure from the likes of you from protest right and again we don't know how long that's going to take this

man has been acquitted so now is the time for our government to hear our voices that's why i live in minneapolis in the state of minnesota tonight we will have thousands of people in downtown minnesota in front of a court to share our concerns about these issues and i certainly hope that it will be known by. many many see this is really taking a single cool verdict and suggesting it reflects the whole of society and that's not fair well again as i said all the data shows the justice system in this country is racialized from the moment of impact at least arrest more polar and white people . are convicted in greater numbers they serve sentences that are longer and there are greater numbers of people are in prisons in the united states given in terms of their population so we already have all that data and that

this we see as a continuation of that trend professor from the university of minnesota thank you very much indeed for joining us live here on. thank you. well you can stay up to date on everything that's going with those post demonstrations across the u.s. by going to our website we'll bring you the latest pictures videos and reaction at t.v. dot com. dozens of londoners clashed with police outside a school building in brixton as bailiff stormed abandoned mansion blocks that have been occupied for decades bailiff's remove people from fixing flats including families with young children dozens of protesters attempted to prevent your fiction setting pins in march and scattered debris across the road and says one activist was arrested on charges of criminal damage and afraid people will meet borrow lamberth or be faced with exile from their homes or skyrocketing property prices
