which is why you should watch only all jihad god. save us from genocide the kurds call on the e.u. and the world for protection as the un launches a probe into reports that hundreds of kurdish civilians were massacred in syria by al qaeda affiliated radical groups. notice a tad mosque is disappointed with president obama's decision to cancel his one on one with present region of the russian they're giving asylum to n.s.a. leaker edward snowden. and the u.k. universities become increasingly out of reach as a story to wish and fees mean bright brits from poor families giving up and getting to graduation.

live from moscow you're watching our team with me to mom would say it's good to have you with us this morning let's get to our main top story this hour amid mounting disturbing reports of civilian kurds targeted by militants in syria the ethnic group is crying for help the kurdish democratic union party has filed an appeal to the e.u. about their plight the u.n. is also investigating the allegations of ethnic cleansing right let's get out of the detail and now from our r.t. correspondent in the air. who's following of the situation there in reno so it seems of the world are waking up to these harrowing reports of from syria tell us more. absolutely well the kurds as you have said they come out with an official request a sort of a statement directed to the entire world and international organizations calling them to pay closer attention to what's going on in the kurdish areas in

northeastern syria and essentially asking the likes of the u.n. to help to save kurds who are being among the syrians who are killed on the basis of their regional and secretary identity among them they're saying there are a lot of women children and the elderly and the in this statement because they are saying that these practices are fully alike with ethnic cleansing and genocide and of course when they say when they are talking about those who are committing these horrendous crimes there. are. groups such as the a loser front operating in this region now we do know. of course that russia for a for a very long time was that was telling the world essentially to pay closer attention to what's happening in this region and. has just reiterated a statement in response to the reports which are still unconfirmed that around four hundred fifty people were killed in cold blood by the fighters of the front organization this point in response to our t's official requests to the united

nations security services saying that they are investigating the matter on the ground there are people working there right now and of course they're extremely concerned with this matter because should these allegations in fact find any evidence of actually being true these will amount to war crimes the u.s. has also expressed their concern with this situation of course they said that they would always be concerned with any such records of attacks if this is what we know from this particular moment we have also spoken to people. whose relatives were in these northeastern part of syria of course there have also been describing. we're talking about men being killed women and children and the elderly being taken hostage as a fact. action is something that has been going on for quite some time in northeastern syria especially with the kurdish community at least a two hundred people have been certainly taken hostage by the fighters of al-qaeda

affiliated groups who are saying that as soon as drawdown is over and that is right now they are starting to work on these double strand of the al qaeda state in the region so extremely disturbing reports of increasing violence and definitely something that is really in need of a. very close attention on behalf of the international community are following developments for us in that region. trying to clashes between different armed groups have been escalating in syria with kurdish fighters are struggling to stand against islamic militants pressing for war control in the north of the country now there have been several reports of curtis' of billions being killed abducted or forced to leave their homes or the information is hard to verify with violence are raging in the region kurdish journalism helped us she put together the timeline of the conflict let's take a look at it right now according to him these letters launch of the assault on the nineteenth of july trying to plant a bomb in

a kurdish school and kidnapping local civilians now the next day many houses across the kurdish inflames were blown up one of the villages villages destroyed completely and around five hundred kurds were kidnapped while a radical cleric declared from a local mosque that various killing kurdish civilians will go to heaven also encouraging people to loot and destroy kurdish homes now the violence continued in early august al qaeda linked fighters murdered seventy kurds and abducted three hundred fifty german journalist kareena felt he has been following the reporter says a good as the villages are targeted because of the natural resources. actually what is behind all this fighting is it's a struggle about control struggle about control of certain areas we know that in the area of fighting in the north and in the east of the country we have. and. at least two of the very big oil fields under the control of the kurdish

defense movement and they have been threatened openly by you know western diplomats if they don't give the control of these oil fields towards the free syrian army. they have a problem so i think it's a fight about control of both about resources of the various groups because the kurds are not going to deliver to their request. are it is marina joshie speaking n.-f. us a spokesman disturbing reports of al-qaeda linked to syrian rebels murdering kurdish civilians he said it's actually a natural event to be expected in times of war we're going to share your populated mostly with kurds in the events there the conflicts there are normal phenomenon simply because the syrian regime stands behind it to weaken the opposition and divide it and make it find with each other in the regime is awaiting any chance to

make confrontation between the opposition and radicals in terrorist. organization a response you know already killings and the arsenic cleansing in new york country . there is no ethnic cleansing and the f.s.a. its mission is not to massacre nor ethnically cleanse the f.s.a. was established to defend civilians in villages and cities it's the regime which is practicing ethnic cleansing against syrians and killing and destroying them. well we keeping a close eye on know what's emerging from syria's kurta a kurdish enclave send give you the details of both on air as well as online. now russia says it's disappointed that president obama want to talk to president putin face to face even though both will be in st petersburg for the g. twenty summit next month washington says that russia's granting asylum to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden was

a factor in that decision more on this development now with our teams are losing friends losing so no face to face meeting between the two leaders in september that would tell us why that decision how did this come about. obama has expressed his disappointment at russia's decision to offer edward snowden one year of temporary asylum and he said as much as you said by refusing a face to face meeting at the g twenty summit coming up in st petersburg and also by canceling his scheduled visit here to moscow just after he did speak with television channels in the united states about his position let's listen. there's still a lot of business that we could do with them but there's been times where they slip back in the cold war think the cold war mentality. now his plans for after the g. twenty summit include now

a trip to sweden in lieu of moscow. you know their house was reacting to this decision by president obama. what president putin has reiterated his stance that he has held since edward snowden touched down in moscow essentially saying that russia did not ask for this problem until one of the united states' own citizens came knocking at its door let's listen to what he says about this. ship because i'm not sure. we didn't invite edward snowden and russia was in 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 him from taking any further flights they even made other countries afraid of taking him in. now the president spokesman yuri scoffs has pointed out russia has pushed for an extradition treaty with united states for some time and that has been pushed off the table repeatedly currently no

extradition treaty exists which is why edward snowden was not extradited for russia has asked for a return of its people who have sought asylum in the united states and those requests have also bentonite repeatedly. one that stands out as. of a former army are soviet army officer who joined up with the militia movement in chechnya in the early ninety's he's wanted in connection with with terrorist charges and he has been sheltered by the united states repeatedly extradition request there have been denied and so according to the president's spokesman the united states still still is not willing to cooperate with russia on an equal footing and according to the kremlin it's very disappointing seems like those revelations by edward snowden still causing a little bit of a diplomatic tension there lizzie france just giving us an update on that story.

now the u.s. president has not been proven over the snowden situation comes despite washington not extraditing some of russia's most wanted man either geo political analyst eric draitser says obama's cancellation is just damage control to save face at home. the notion of putin as bringing the foreign policy trajectory back to the cold war is part of the us propaganda machine you see the the decision to grant temporary asylum to snowden was not merely a political one it was one that was made out of sheer necessity by putin and the russian government because frankly they couldn't have allowed the mellow drama to continue on in that airport and so what we're seeing as it's being reported in the media is that this is kind of a tit for tat harkening back to the cold war but i think that what we're seeing is actually practical politics this is really face saving on the part of obama so that he can play kate not only the conservatives on his right who vehemently attacked

putin the russian government at every turn while at the same time attempting to portray himself as consistent on the issue on the russian side of course as i mentioned the government really had little option but to grant the temporary asylum there are for the revelations from edward snowden a german spy agencies working with the n.s.a. team we've got the details on r.t. dot com along with a timeline of everything that's happened with the whistleblower. british students feeling the burn from three full tuition fee hikes and huge lanes frighteningly frighten off more and more people from going to university and it's rainy days from poor families who are missing out not explains. london twenty ten young people furious at the government's plans to triple the captive nine thousand pounds a year for the new batch of incoming students the impact could be even more

palpable but because the numbers of students from the backgrounds coming to university are increasing slowly. sort of the government sort of denies that this is a problem it's pretty dire situation in the u.k. and particularly around the issue of choice you know. you have to choose to take on that or you choose to be unemployed but really there isn't there isn't really a positive solution either way for james walkley the choice was to drop out he'd been in university for a year but decided to stop and try to find work instead of folks honestly working for a living for a change them rather than just getting by dates than whatever the syrians are moneys or whatever monies available students are because i do come from what i would consider i deprived background i also feel that it's doesn't take a genius to work out just by looking at the fees that the universe as it is now is verging on a death trap for most james dreams were put on hold at the splice is by no means unique in two thousand and twelve overall entry rates in england dropped thirteen

percent but the universities and colleges admissions service directly associating it to the rise in the cost of the degree we quarters of colleges and universities in england it could be charging at the top level fee of nine thousand pounds a year for at least one course in twenty fourteen and around twenty seven percent could be charging at that level for all that's courses and all this despite claims by ministers in the past that levels will only be seen for exceptional circumstances where the fees and now so that could very well be the norm. students . being forces take on this huge debt that the government says doesn't affect sort of the rest of their income but that's not true if you're trying to say for a mortgage things you need to live it will have an effect on what happen effect on the areas. and the government keeps threatening to change the terms and conditions of those loans in response to r.t.c. the government said there will be no change to the terms of interest rates charged

eat. at all the parties up next to where the sun a boy her just after this break to stay with us here on out. everyone respects a promise written in stone promises written on the internet well they're a bit more flexible and a lot easier to erase obama made a lot of promises as a candidate on his site change dot gov including some about protecting whistleblowers and obama said that we need to empower federal employees as watchdogs and that he would strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste fraud and abuse of authority and government but strangely and possibly coincidentally two days after the first revelation of government spying by stoughton these promises of the change dot gov site were taken down if

this is not just some odd coincidence and they consciously chose to hide obama's campaign promises that this is political cowardice at its worst and what is even worse is that they didn't think that this would get exposed almost immediately if you try to conduct some sort of medieval book burning to destroy information on the internet then you are only going to get burnt yourself but that's just my opinion. with. science technology innovation all the developments around russia we are going to the future are covered.

hello and welcome to worlds apart it's hard to find a field of science that is more prone to conspiracy theories and name calling and climate change if you doubt it's human overreach and your cold if you nihilist if you embrace it you are an alarmist and both can suspect each other off any fairies motives that's all these few mean and have any practical value well to discuss that i'm now joined by lord christopher monckton a prominent climate change skeptics lord monckton thank you very much for your time now as far as i understand you don't actually dispute climate change what you are skeptical of in is the is the cause of it and whether or not it is manmade or not i honestly haven't derived any particular opinion but what icons on the stand is why

these debate matters into first place because regardless of which position you take it doesn't preclude all of the matter is that should be taken to protect the environment you know trying to limit deforestation protecting the oceans trying to limit c o two emissions and if you implement all those matters it would be a win win the for all whether your denial is to or an alarmist. well let me hit back a little bit at that i think we have to draw a distinction between real environmentalists problems such as deforestation pollution etc and the bogus but profitable ones like imagining that carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere it came from originally is somehow going to do harm because actually it isn't going to do harm even if it were going to do as much.
