i. save us all from genocide the kurds call on the e.u. and the world forward to action as the un launches a probe into reports that hundreds of kurdish civilians were massacred in syria by al qaeda affiliated radical groups. noted it was disappointed with president obama's decision to cancel his one on one with president putin over russia giving asylum to n.s.a. leaker edward snowden. and the u.k. universities become increasingly out of reach and story intuition fees we bribed brits are from poor families are giving up on getting to where jewish and.

it's just gone past one pm here in the russian capital you live with us on our t.v. with me to mom would say let's take a look at our 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. is following the situation in the region. the kurdish democratic union has officially turned to the international community asking them to pay close attention and to rescue them from the fighting that is happening in this region and essentially asking the likes of the un to help to save kurds who are being among the syrians who are killed on the basis of their regional and secretary and identity among them they are saying 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 are talking about those who are committing these horrendous crimes they are accusing the cell a few groups in the 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 that statement in response to the reports which 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 the situation of course they said that they

would always be concerned with such reports of attacks we have also spoken to people whose relatives were in these northeastern part of syria of course there are talking about men being killed women and children and the elderly being taken hostage as a fact the hostage taking situation is something that has been going on for quite some time in northeastern syria especially with the kurdish community. two hundred people have been certainly taken hostage by the fighters the leader groups who are saying that as as soon. well done is over and that is right now they are starting to work on these double shipment of the al qaeda state in the region there are ports those people are being kidnapped and killed in the horrendous as they sound it cannot be independently verified due to the dangers of their with and eventually became. happening in northeastern syria right now. clashes between different armed groups have been escalating in syria with kurdish fighters struggling to stand against islamic militants pressing for more control in the north of the

country now with all the information about attacks on kurds are two very fine return to kurdish journalism to help us to put together the timeline of the conflict let's just take a look at that right now according to him islam as long as they're sold on the nineteenth of july trying to plant a bomb in a kurdish school and kidnapping local civilians the next day many houses across the kurdish enclave were blown up one of the villages destroyed completely around five hundred kurds were also kidnapped while a radical cleric declared from a local mosque that those killing kurdish civilians will go to heaven also encouraging people to loot and destroy kurdish homes the violence continued in early august now al qaeda linked fighters murdered seventy codes and abducted three hundred and fifty let's talk more on the situation with kurdish blogger and a middle east political risk analyst. mr what are your thoughts on these alarming but also some very wide massacre reports that we're getting out the.

well what we can see at the moment is happening in the eastern part of syria it is . ethically target to. violence against the kurdish population of. in recent weeks what. happened in mosul from which was. pretty cool have been attacking civilians have been terrorizing the neighborhood on that engine under trying to. grab land and. specifically for the rich places and only for these groups are being. supported and being logistically supported by the op made opposition in syria. getting all the armament for. the development is very worrying because the because of groups who are fighting which is mainly p.y.t.

various other groups on the the front to establish themselves to protect the kurdish population in the area they've been struggling to fend these groups off because they're very well equipped they were very well against although the people idea very well organized and. well trained. troops or irregular troops but that they're not much with the support they are getting from al qaeda affiliated group and these groups let's not forget i mean supported by. the. western support for the washington from turkey or do it just because support is coming from but so is tacitly support you know friday and something some sense if you look at it i mean there's no evidence that there's a direct support so let's clear the area not meaning to the e.u. for protection do you think that help can be provided for them. it doesn't

look very hopeful because only yesterday i think the state department was asked to clarify the position about the the civilian killings of civilians being killed by a. weather. service supplied by you for the support of five years for the syrian opposition is making its way through to the hard about trying to free the group under state department pretty much to say so i think in the next few days i doubt you'll see any movement. from friends and you will investigate them on the picture will become clear i mean it is clear i don't have any evidence to suggest that the massacre the four hundred fifty you mentioned earlier in the report it's because obviously there's not been dependably verified but the fact is the local populations are being. terrorized the. buildings of their villages been destroyed those. people are not coming back to them.

i mean this amounts to a cleansing and what they want to do they would rather as a population let me let me answer this then i mean do we know that certain west allies have been supporting the free syrian army or the rebels who are fighting who are against the assad regime obama yesterday spoke by phone with mr added one of his allies within the syria question that's happening there their support for that what do you think they would have touched on on what is happening right now in terms of these very fied alarming reports that we're getting that those rebels who they all me will helping to arm fide the assad regime are actually could be committing these crimes. i think it's becoming clearer from the point of view these escalation doesn't look good on turkey because. i don't have any evidence to suggest they've been directly by the government but

obviously the money and the logistical support which the book of information is getting is making its way into these guys are. very well equipped very well armed and financed as well so from turkish point of view i think slowly the turkish government is realizing that they need to act quickly and swiftly come in and try to limit the group's. power in these areas because. i mean let's not forget about iran in this equation because iran is very happy to report it is very close to the way so the. uncertainty on the turkish border could easily spill into turkey and destabilizing areas that turkey has a choice because they all of these people. on the basis of the widely being affiliated to. deal with them and system and trying to defend the areas

so in some ways have truth within the regime so the picture is becoming very complex and it's almost like a proxy war inside another proxy wars been fought in the area between on one side the east and west and then on one side of a moron and turkey certainly complex issues proxy war as the middle east political risk analysts and critics brought that one is a lot as just mentioned there thank you very much for your analysis and insight on this ongoing crisis now if the massacre proves are true then it's a natural event to be expected during times of war according to a free syrian army spokesman who was challenged on the claims by our teams marina joshie. we're going to say we're going to move on is populated mostly with kurds in the event that the conflicts there are normal phenomenon simply because the syrian regime stands behind it to weaken the opposition and divide it and make it fine

with each other and the regime is awaiting any chance to make confrontation between the opposition and radicals and terrorist. organization a response you know already killings and the arsenic cleansing in the your country . oh not god there is no ethnic cleansing and the f.s.a. his 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. will be keeping a close eye on what's emerging from serious kurdish enclave so i'm giving you the details on air as well as online. russia as a saddened that president obama want to talk to president putin one on one even though both will be in st petersburg for the g. twenty summit next month washington says that russia granting asylum to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden was a factor in that decision his one offer martine's lizzie for us. moscow has

expressed its disappointment that president obama has decided to cancel his face to face meeting with president putin on the heels of the g twenty summit in st petersburg originally president obama had planned to fly to moscow for that meeting but in light of the edward snowden affair that has been shelved president obama sheds some light on his reasons for this there's still a lot of business that we can do with them but there's been times where they slip back in the cold war thinking and a cold war mentality or president obama will continue his meetings as usual at the g twenty summit just with no face to face meetings with president putin at that time and instead of continuing to moscow he will continue want to sweden president putin has maintained his same stance through the entire edward snowden debacle stating that russia did not ask for this problem into one of the united states and citizens cannot going at it starts. to do it but if 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 is 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. the president spokesman your usual cough has pointed out that russia has sought an extradition treaty with united states for some time but that has been repeatedly pushed off the table and in fact russia has request extradition of its own citizens back to russia repeatedly one that stands out is in the us act my dog a soviet army officer who joined with the militant movement in chechnya in the one nine hundred ninety s. and he is wanted in connection with terrorist acts has been sheltered in the united states offered asylum and extradition requests by russia have been repeatedly denied in that case and these are just some of the instances the kremlin is

pointing out to reiterate its stance on the fact that it sheltered edward snowden. edward snowden's father hopes this move by the u.s. one to strike the public from the spying program his son revealed for the rest of what long snowden has to say in his statement on r t dot com. british students feeling the burn from threefold to wish and fee hikes and huge loans us scaring off more and more people from ever going to university and it's mainly those from poor families who are missing out to. experience. london twenty ten young people furious at the government's plans to triple the tuitions kept of 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 governments are denies that this is

a problem it's pretty dire situation in the u.k. and particularly around the issue of choice. you have to choose to take contact or you choose to be an employee but really there isn't the reason 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 a focus on honestly working for a living for a change them rather than just getting by day to day i'm one of the students at money's whatever what is available to students because i do come from what i would consider a 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 ragin to death trap for most james dreams were put on hold and display is by no means unique in two thousand and twelve overall entry rates in england dropped thirteen percent with 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 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 of its courses and all this despite claims by ministers in the past of levels will only be seen for exceptional circumstances with the fees it now hard so that could very well be the norm. students. being forces take on the 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 to graduates with existing student loans taken before two thousand and twelve which is cold comfort for someone like my old me with twenty five thousand pounds of debt

hanging over my head says it is like a full time job that's when i started coming out of my. monthly salary my fees for three thousand two hundred. page here and now office has gone up to nine thousand pages i still find them packed. up and i want to. spencer melman for not going to uni says all this financial insecurity is making young people more open to considering other options than going to university apprenticeships is a really valuable way forward you're learning a sector you're getting a job getting a qualification and hopefully a full time job at the end of it we're not going to uni acho is just about understanding the options that are available and having a real choice is really all the james is asking for feel a lot of negativity toward the government for a fact that education is being marsalis strictly for people who from last financially well off backgrounds just are still your r.t.

everyone respects a promise written in stone the promise is 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 distort information on the internet then you are only going to get burnt yourself but that's just my opinion. 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 its human origin your cold if you nihilist if you're embrace it you are an alarmist on both counts the stack to each other often if there is motive does all these fuming and driving have any practical value 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. to call those of it and whether or not it is manmade or not i honestly haven't derived any particular opinion but what i content to stand is why these debate matters in defer splays because regardless of which position you take it doesn't preclude all of the measures that should be taken to protect the environment. trying to limit deforestation and protecting the oceans trying to limit c o two emissions and if you implement.
