crimes they are accusing the cell a few groups in 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. down is over and that is right now they are starting to work on these devilish mean to all the al qaeda state in the region their reports that people are being kidnapped and killed develop this as they sound it cannot be independently verified do you to the dangers associated there with an officially the chaos that is happening in northeastern syria right now 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 with all information about attacks were kurds hard to verify

we turn to kurdish journalist barzani as though to help us to put together the timeline of the conflict well according to him is the missile launch zero assault 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 enclaves were blown up one of the villages destroyed completely around five hundred kurds were 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 al qaeda linked fighters murdered seventy kurds and abducted three hundred fifty middle east political risk our ystem kurdish blogger. says those attacking kurds are gang their arms from the syrian opposition which is supported by the us and its allies. the front which is a pretty aged group have been attacking civilians and i've been terrorizing the

kurdish neighborhood in the region they're trying to grab and specifically the oil rich places and all of these groups are being. supported and being logistically supported by the opposition in syria and they get in all the. support for the opposition from turkey all the logistics support is coming from. the support you know fareed in and some sense if you look at the state department was asked to clarify the position of the kurdish civilians being killed by. the. supplied by you or the support supplied by yourself for the syrian opposition is making its way to develop qaeda affiliated groups the state department didn't have much to say so i think in the next few days i doubt you'll see any movement. from friends now in the massacre proves true and then it's

a natural event to be expected during times of war according to free syrian army spokesman who i talked to earlier. we're going to syria is populated mostly with kurds in the event that the conflicts there are a normal phenomenon simply because the syrian regime stands behind it to weaken the opposition and divide it and make it find 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 ethnic cleansing in the your country. there is no ethnic cleansing and the f.s.a. its mission is not to massacre nor ethnically cleanse the f.s.a. it 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. i will be keeping a close eye on what's emerging from syria's kurdish enclaves and give you the

details on air and online. russia's saddened that president obama won't talk to president putin one on one even though both will be in saying that his work 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 here's more from artie's lindsey friends. 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 ritually 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 shed 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 thank you and a cold war mentality of 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 can knocking at its start. because i'm not sure. we didn't invite edward snowden in 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. the president's spokesman you're you has pointed out that russia has sought an extradition treaty with the 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. of 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 by he's 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. the u.s. presidents now being put in over the snowden situation comes despite washington not extraditing some of russia's most wanted man either geopolitical analyst are drawing tourists as 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 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 . and what's known as father house that he's moved by by this move by the u.s. will distract the public from the spying programs his son revealed so read the rest of what lon snowden has to say in his statement on r.t. dot com. british students feeling the burn from three full tuition

fee hikes and huge loans are scaring off more and more people from ever going to university and it's mainly those from poor families who are missing out is this are still you know explains. london twenty ten young people furious at the government's plans to triple the tuition fees captive nine thousand pounds a year for the new batch of incoming students the impact could be even more palpable because the numbers of students who are backgrounds coming to university are increasing slowly. sort of the governments of denies it this is the problem it's pretty dire situation in the u.k. and particularly around the issue of choice. you can choose to take on that or you choose to be unemployed but really there isn't a recent really 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 to focus on are still working for a living for a change them rather than this getting by day to day and one of the series of

respects a promise written in stone the promise was 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 there are just some odd coincidence and they consciously chose to hide obama's campaign promises that this is political cowardice at its worst and words 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 by. you

know. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how bad the less bad luck i got so. i mean. i know that i'm still really not so. very sort of. the. worst for the little things. like i'll stick to the. radio and for a minute. if i want. to have you ever seen anything like this

i'm telling. you guys i'm having mark welcome to breaking it was that well the government has been scrambling recently to keep any more potential leakers under wraps and now we know about the software they're using to help pinpoint the trouble makers within their ranks it's a test called the cyber awareness challenge and its user determine whether or not federal employees or contractors are considered to be a threat just gauges workers on several factors how often they travel their views on the government and even their driving behavior as you complete the test the program terms of you're considered a low medium or high level threat well i'm glad i'm not one of the millions that works for the government because i'm pretty sure that the test i wouldn't pass so you can see right here not only do i frequently travel outside the u.s. but i'm facing hundreds of dollars in fines and speed trap tickets in the sea. and

i think we all know that i could just be slightly critical of the u.s. government look this program is basically forcing workers to implicate themselves based on their personal beliefs and driving habits but the real issue here is that this is just another tactic being used to squash any kind of dissent among workers or by discouraging people to speak up or ever blow the whistle on government wrongdoing but hey that's exactly what the government wants in fact i wouldn't be surprised to learn the civil pilot program was an experimental one they be used to recognize and categorize every american in a different threat levels doesn't quite feel like we're that far off from that being a reality and that means there's a lot of work to be done guys so join me and let's break this that. letter where you never seen anything like. the revolutionary albert einstein once said we cannot solve problems by using the

same kind of thinking we used to create them meaning that we have to keep reinventing the wheel if we want to better society and that's the driving force behind an organization called the venus project it's a movement offering an architectural plan for human beings technology and nature to coexist create a sustainable future the man behind the project is jacques fresco is a self educated industrial designer engineer and futurist who truly believes the ills of society can be cured only if we throw away the rules that govern it and ourselves first go poses a question for us all of humanity create the paradise we know is possible or will drive itself into oblivion the choice is ours i spoke to him earlier and i first asked him what drives this system of greed and war and why haven't political social institutions evolved along with technology. seriously.
