why from moscow to leaven this is our duty tonight in syria call of world powers for protection as the united nations probes reports of hundreds of kurdish civilians massacred by al-qaeda linked rebel forces. meanwhile the cia warms the collapse of the assad government could make syria. haven pose an even greater threat to u.s. national security. notated take moscow lashes out at washington for not wanting to build relations on an equal footing after president obama's decision to cancel the summit with. we do this for a good to have you come through your top stories and tonight kurds in syria calling

for international help to prevent a genocide against the people it follows reports of mass murders and abductions of civilians by rebel forces. reports 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 save kurds who are being among the syrians were killed on bases of their regional and secretary and identity among them they're saying a lot of women children and the elderly in this statement because they are saying that these practices are fully alike with ethnic cleansing and genocide and of course they're accusing the salafist groups and they are qaeda affiliated groups such as the a loser front operating in this region russian foreign minister sergei lavrov the international community to come together and solve the situation in syria according to various reports at least four hundred fifty people have been killed by the on the front in north eastern syria reports say that at least one hundred twenty of

those are children in response to our teaser. it's all requests to the united nations security services things that they are investigating the matter on the ground there and we have people working there right now and of course they're extremely concerned with this matter because surely these allegations in fact finding any evidence of actually being true these will amount to war crimes that they found it cannot be independently verified due to the chaos that is happening in northeastern syria right now we have also spoken to people whose relatives were in these northeastern part of syria after talking about men being killed women and children and the elderly being taken hostage at least two hundred people have been taken hostage by the fighters of al qaeda affiliated groups who are saying that as soon as they are done is over and that is right now they are starting to work on these tablets many of the al qaeda state in the region. clashes between armed factions have been escalating in syria with kurdish fighters forced to stand their

ground against islamist militants pressing for greater control of the country's north with conflicting reports making specific information hard to verify we turn to kurdish sure this balance of needs to help us put together a timeline of the conflict well according to him islamic extremists launched the result of the nineteenth of july timeline comes across the trying to plant a bomb in a kurdish school and kidnapping local civilians to then the next day many houses across the kurdish own clothes were blown up one village completely destroyed around five hundred kurds were kidnapped. meantime a radical cleric declared from a local mosque that those killing kurdish civilians would be rewarded in heaven as they put it and also encouraged people to loot and destroy kurdish homes violence continued then we think into early august with seventy kurds murdered and three hundred fifty abducted by hurdling fighters so there's the aim of getting rid of a syrian government would you justify the means to you can the free syrian army says all tools are good for disposing the result the regime but others are drawing

the line earlier an f.s.a. spokesman of the kurdish representative clashed here on r t on that very issue. if . we consider any fight is allied with the free syrian army to be part of our troops concerning that if you take an unacceptable position we'll make serious mistakes those people will be punished with their extremist liberals or fighters of the free syrian army yes mistakes have been made we have contacted our kurdish brothers seeking reassurance that these things will not happen again the known responded the kurds have troops who are willing to cooperate with the regime to gain we're told me in the north but overall we do support the kurdish people every day are they. it's clear that the f.s.a. spokesman is seeking to avoid condemning the violence against hundreds of kurds and the ongoing expulsion of our people from their own lands these crimes have been registered officially and the materials have been passed on to the e.u.

those who say the al nasra front are fighting a just war against the syrian regime are keeping silent when militants banished kurds from their lands and carry out ethnic cleansing the free syrian army don't talk about these attacks we don't know which groups are a part of the f.s.a. and which aren't they're taking a very dangerous approach how can anyone justify their trust abuse that happened in the kurdish settlements. edmund ghareeb a lecturer for the university of america universe rather washington d.c. says a response from the e.u. is vital now to avoid the violence he thinks spilling over even. some voices within the international community who are raising the alarm about what's going on there they are trying to get the united nations security council to take a stand i think that would be significant and i think it's important to have an investigation to find out really what has happened and then also it's thought follows any kind of ethnic tax or i suppose there is especially as

a situation could be easily deteriorate you could see kurdish out up fighting also in this area and you could see this conflict spilling into the other side and turkey kurdish derek smite start pouring also across the border throughout their compatriots. and still with syria while the obama administration remains undecided about whether or not to send weapons to the rebels the cia's second in command warned that the spread of extremism in the country is posing an even greater threat to u.s. national security to peter right to michael rails says that if the assad government collapses or this massive chemical arsenal the country could become a haven for al qaeda terrorists they also claim that given the comes to didn't flow of arms syria could turn into the next libya with the potential for conflict to spill over into georgia and jordan lebanon or iraq as to what this that further with john white he's a freelance journalist and writer joining us on the matter brought in the u.k. by the john who can hear me of course shift in tone from america's usual stance

isn't it yes but has to be said when the deputy director of the cia he actually hearing john will show the viewers are at home so he can you know know if we've lost. ok sorry john i'm not i'm not actually want to solve able to hear you but if i'll let you answer that again i will try to work out my sound problem so as i said a shift in tone from what america's usual stance is yes and as i was saying when the deputy director of the cia emerges as the voice of reason with the new u.s. political establishment you know you have a u.s. administration that is in deep political crisis it also reveals a growing schism in washington with regards to the u.s. policy toward syria which is no surprise given their arming the rebels as you know there's are still unknown and there have been from the very start. fortunately any of that arms have i gather our viewers did know i can hear you i'm very pleased to

say i mean washington's been showing their support for the rebels for a long time now they're still debating whether to arm them or not why the sudden realisation that they could be arming terrorists is something we've been talking about on this channel for months. well i think there's ows obviously you know underlying current within the us political us of a spend as you know we have that this has been a disaster and would be a disaster for reasons unknown to the rest of the world the obama administration has failed that they are arming feed them very close i think it also reveals the extent hopefully diminish the crisis within the us between the whole represented by such a good as john mccain and obama whose inclusion we can buy a seat that makes that crazy such as the bradley manning trial the edward snowden revelations and the george zimmerman trial so this is this administration is know how to fish the years i said to them and i think this has been reflected in his foreign policy. if you would put a figure on it how happy or not is the west with al qaeda being in syria right now

. i think it's increasingly i'm biased by i don't think it's what i'm happy is the word to use i think it's i'm biased i think it was quite comfortable with al-qaeda being in syria but it's. violence and it's barbarity it can no longer be ignored and has to be said. if you could equate your politics to soccer then at this point in time a flood to me of putin's government is the political equivalent of bottle no obama administration is we're going to where they. wish to we're going to play pick not sleep bush well up all the way along the line russia's being calling for political dialogue here is the only way forward all along that the away along the line that's kind of not happening is that the door for political dialogue to try and sort this long running problem out closing now will know all. too well i think the fact that you director of the cia michael morrell has fill in bold enough to articulate his concerns publicly suggest

a weakening of the obama administration's position so i am hopeful that a political solution will be on the table hopefully sooner rather than lito but we do it and consider it so slow great suffering you know injured by the syrian people even though the syrian army and the syrian government is no one the front for with regards to the conflict why do you look at the history books we all heard didn't we at the time how much of a threat to the world in world security upset i was saying was how big of a problem is al qaida now in syria do you think is it similar. oh very similar i mean al qaeda is also a problem though in iraq where it wasn't a problem when saddam hussein was in power we have to be careful when we talk of chemical weapons also we don't want to fall into that trap again but the fact is that the biggest cause of instability in the region in the bigger states the security in the region is the united states itself a mountain of bodies left behind in iraq the chaos that is still taking place in

iraq speaking please and afghanistan is is the evidence of the five and this whole in the fight in the war on terror well this is the their world we're living in is into the people and bradley manning who has revealed the war crane's and this will cold war of terror each of you would actually have actual state data is now looking at spending the rest of his life in prison and those who perpetuate in the war on terror can to egypt or to themselves as champions of democracy and liberty if that's democracy in of that's liberty and the two words no longer have any meaning don't want for lunch or listen right or anniversary problems or some just press the right but now at least thank you for your time if you. americans are willing to build relations with russia on an equal footing that's how the kremlin react to the barack obama counseling is meeting with president putin the u.s. says he's got a little to discuss with russia on such a high level after moscow granted asylum to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden for all this is our correspondent lizzie friends.

washington had stated that it would react negatively if edward snowden were given asylum by russia and this canceling of the meeting between the two leaders seems to be a product of that the white house cites a lack of recent progress in a bilateral agenda it's president obama himself who gives a very interesting explanation of the relationship between the two countries at this point 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 the kremlin feels that washington is not interested in a partnership on equal footing in fact it came as a surprise to many russians when edward snowden knocked on their door and should you know i'm not sure 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 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 following that global manhunt that had the united states pressuring many countries to get edward snowden back on his home soil it's worth pointing out something with regard to the extradition treaty that does not exist between russia and the united states it's something russia has pushed for many times but it has been denied furthermore russia has also requested extradition or even a return of its citizens who are on domestic and international wanted lists for in some cases terrorist acts those requests were denied numerous times so as this situation with edward snowden has evolved it's definitely taken attention away from what's not and did and put more of an emphasis on the complicated dynamic between these two countries something that we will watch on fold at the g. twenty summit. absolutely it will be a political analyst eric draitser says russia in the us a far more important issues

to try to find common ground on the snowden story they have far greater issues to deal with i think that what is really on the table is the question of syria it is the question of so-called missile defense as it is termed in the united states these issues the strategic and geo political issues are of great importance the snowden saga i think really takes a backseat where snowden and this entire story comes in is on the broader diplomatic level for public consumption but behind closed doors i think these diplomats will continue doing what it is that they do and that is discussing these issues and hopefully coming to some kind of a resolution though using my example of syria i'm not so hopeful. well the snowden case is forcing the white house into the cold war the whistleblowers father's come out with some fresh comments he hopes that the move by the u.s. isn't going to detract the public from the massive spy programs as some revealed in

the first place check out the rest of all along snowden to say the statement on our web site and also coming up after the break here the twenty forty winter olympics and such it must stall the coals to boycott the games but the reason seem to have got nothing to do with sport we've got a big discussion about this that. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

mission free couldn't a shoot free throws for judges free. arrangement free. three stooges free. hold free blog plug in video for your media project a free media hearty dot com. flame are said to light up in sochi in six months time now but as the final touches are being added to the venues calls to boycott the winter olympics go. and louder in some european countries and across the atlantic two reasons got nothing to do with sports though but rather over about one hundred sexual propaganda to minors that was recently adopted by russian lawmakers earlier talked about the matter with a panel of guests and this is now it also dmitri babich he's the political analyst

of the voice of russian radio station nicola alexiev gay activist and head of moscow pride he was in geneva and then harris quickly from the conservative boat group think tank in london. we shouldn't confuse fight for gay rights and a political campaign. let me just remind you this law was adopted on the eleventh of june this year two months ago and for the whole month and a half there was no connection between this law and the olympic games made wide because just nobody even thought about it you know the author of this war didn't have a limp games in their mind in any way and then you know this was criticized in the western press and then there are some liberal press about there was no linkage with united states and then suddenly as if some kind of an order was given in the end of july all newspapers all television stations in the west are there to cover the future and he gave all the in that context always gets arguing that the actual law

itself you know took the mind as a bring them up properly but it's the broader picture when they see pictures of. gay rights activists being beat in the streets the police not seemingly coming in or maybe the gay pride regarding. the problem here though is misinformation and yes there are problems in russia yes there are hate crimes in russia there are not only against gays by the way that's a whole nother issue i absolutely don't agree with this because russian authorities are banning what's called pride since two thousand and six it has been banned for eight years there is a clear european court decision which says that it's contradictory to the european convention why target the olympic games is that the right of your mark appreciate you must feel frustrated maybe but. calling for a boycott of the olympic surely is the way forward is it well i'm just personally against the book or the of the leave the games just because a one the reason because it's absolutely technical or not possible to realize this boy called because it's not possible to transfer it somewhere else because the only

people who will suffer because of this because is the sportsman who are participating in these in these competitions we think that the most the best solution in this in this case is to go and protest during the olympic games there are people like stephen fry who we. seen recently calling writing these open letters he compares it to hitler and the nazis i mean really what do you say to the gay community around the world to compare this to nazi germany i think is slightly hysterical. but i think in general when you approach international sporting events you do so in the village with the other countries have a different approach or unfortunately i don't think you can you can take part great britain of course took part in the two thousand and eight olympics in beijing i think some people in britain might say that there's a question of a human rights record in china we also plan to take part in the upcoming world cup in qatar you know the qataris have

a great different view i think of. what is appropriate in society than we do. it's perfectly appropriate to go to those countries to have a respectful difference i think on those issues there has been and announcement from the international olympic committee that says boycotting sochi in twenty fourteen would only serve to deprive the country's athletes from fulfilling their dreams of competing at an olympic games something they have dedicated a great portion of their lives to accomplish history has shown that boycotts do not solve anything but simply punish olympic athletes and the misinformation that he is being portrayed in the western media and the levels that it's going to here i think are really blowing this out of proportion to an unfair level for russia for the olympics i miss the athletes who are going to suffer if this does go through if this campaign works. well to separate the facts from fiction on the issue you can head to our website we've got a special section on gay rights here in russia it's out dot com. right now to see. first for you and i think you're.

on our reporters later. today in the. americas offering a helping hand to greece as it struggles to emerge from a six year recession the great promise is now in washington hoping to restore his country's credibility after employment hit a record twenty seven point six percent in may but while people all over greece is struggling to pay for daily essential oils one group of activists are taking matters into their own hands is out if you go for skin off reports. for millions of europeans it's impossible to imagine a life without things like refrigerators ac's television computers and electricity in general but no matter how difficult it may be the reality is every month more of those living in the cradle of the european civilization are being forced into the

dark. for two years now christina hasn't been able to pay her electricity bills she can't find work and no work in her brother two daughters or their husbands. as the bills began piling up i had to make my priorities and this is where the food comes first i want to pay the bills and i want to be ok the state but the state hasn't been ok with us with one in four greeks currently unemployed christine is far from the only person who's electricity has been cut off and that's where these guys come in young radical and very determined activists from the i don't see movement illegally reconnect power to as many as two hundred homes per month for free. the vast majority of the society is to be. sunk into poverty only a few of them for families across the world to have the ninety nine percent of their. wealth that's not something that. we want to

bear. the reconnect algis city to homes or disconnect power from room thaws making them free for motorists or sometimes they target the underground today the i don't pay movement has over ten thousand members across greece and is gaining supporters despite being targeted by more than one hundred on going more seats no respect or two in no we say that the thousands of people with no relief they said it will no electricity feel water so this winter we will warn them because of. his very big with a p.p.o. greece's government continues to promise economic miracles despite the country's status having been recently downgraded to emerging market. but the greeks are tired of empty promises and now more and more digging matters into their own hands even

if that means breaking the law you're just going off athens greece. to say there is the europeans are cutting back on basics and governments are tightening their belts as one sector of society that's not fair on the page for bankers times that have a big better apparently that's what katie pelley no civilities new business show venture capital has to say. the underlying problem that cake started the own growing european debt crisis greedy bankers being paid excessive amounts to take unnecessary risks is still a problem now the latest data from the european bank your thora t. is likely to yuri a the average e.u. citizen struggling to make ends meet in these times of tough budget cuts the figures reveal that the bank is at the ferry heart of the crisis three thousand of them are taking home more than one million euros a year in pay and bonuses but most of that cash is being dished out in london's financial center accounting for three quarters of the seven figure salaries in the

e.u. now germany came in second with one hundred seventy bankers receiving one million euros a mall and france came in. with one hundred and sixty today so as you can see there's a huge difference between london and the rest of the. bot the biggest disparity of or is between the haves and the have nots as the rich continue to get richer and the poor even poorer up on the very people that created the financial storm which brought on this era of austerity continue to pick up fat salaries for their efforts . well stores across the globe most are going to run very double attacks killed thirteen people north of the capital baghdad officials say government stormed the home of a police officer of the city to create killing him and four other members of his family a car bomb ripped through a crowd of bystanders gathered at the scene of the attack killing another eight wounded thirty more iraqi security situations rapidly worsening the un saying more

than a thousand people were killed in the country just last month alone. syrian rebels say president assad's convoy was shelled on route to ied celebrations in damascus but state t.v. footage would later show the leader unscathed during president mosque seventeen mortars allegedly targeted the convoy after insurgents received information on his movements syria's information ministry though tonight's the attack ever took place . in afghanistan and explosions killed fourteen members of the same family all women and children at a cemetery in the east of the country it's common for muslims to remember late relatives during eight which marks the end of ramadan and it's not clear who is behind that attack an investigation is underway the violence comes just days after washington issued a worldwide travel alert warning its citizens of potential terrorist attacks in the middle east and north africa. thanks speak with us tonight compared to twenty seven it's parcel of an hour moscow time but with more news just over half an hour

between now and that matters because it brings you the scandals burn the latest financial headlines here right after the break. everyone respects a promise written in stone the promise is written on the internet world 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 doc of 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 works both ways to fraud and abuse of authority and government but strangely and possibly coincidentally two days after the first revelation of government spying by snowden these promises of the change dot gov site were taken

down if this is there just some odd coincidence and they consciously. chose to hide obama's campaign promises this is political power at its worst and worse 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. speak your language. programs and documentaries and spanish. stories. spanish. visit.
