there are. more syrian kurds recounts seeing civilians slaughtered as their villages are plundered by al qaida linked rebel fighters possible into the opposition militias in gage indirectly rivalry. president obama says moscow and washington is a relations i need some time out while russia's foreign minister says there's no cold war shattered and various powers need to act like adults. and to the battle for moscow begins as six candidates are wired to become mayor we'll look at the why this campaign is a real nail biter for those leading the race. live

from moscow you're with us on our do you with me tom was it's good to have you with us this morning let's take a look at the news that al qaeda linked militants in syria have reportedly killed a top commander from the free syrian army in the latest display of deadly rivalry between opposition groups the rebels are increasingly fighting each other for control of various areas with affiliated radicals trying to create an islamic state within syria now as part of that plan of the militants are accused of stepping up lethal assaults and kurds in the north east or choose seize their land war from our correspondent now in the region policy paula kerger say the attacks are genocide and ethnic cleansing just how serious is this getting. well we've been speaking to eyewitnesses relatives and also kurdish journalists and

from the sequence of events that we've been able to piece together that commie nineteenth of july you had an assault by islamist extremists at that stage they placed a bomb in a local kurdish school they also rounded up and abducted a number of civilians the very next day and number of kurdish houses in various kurdish enclaves were blown up it was also an entire kurdish village that was destroyed and some five hundred people were kidnapped that violence continued into early august when you had the reported killing of at least some seventy kurds and the abduction of another three hundred and fifty now this week we saw a massacre in which some four hundred and fifty could were killed from the figures we've been receiving some one hundred twenty of them were children some three hundred and thirty of them were women that massacre happening in a syrian town on the turkish border not neither damascus nor the opposition has

actually confirmed that massacre but we have been speaking to eyewitnesses and this is what they told us back. only recently that they came into villages and started to blame the locals have been faithless it was during ramadan they opened fire on villagers people came onto the streets men women and children they fired at everyone who came in the way they captured many young men and began to cut them with knives we told them that we were muslims too but they said that they would continue to kill us they also said that our granted them all or money or property or women then they began to murder everyone around them my nephew was killed. when civilians escaped their shot militias raided their house and blew up some of them and robbed others the conditions are very bad people are in fear and terrorized the all nusra fighters are out of control there raiding the streets there's no media coverage and anyone who tries to reach out is being kidnapped by the militants.

well one of the problems we face is that some reports are difficult to verify as you heard there from kurds we've been speaking to they say that if they come forward and they report on any other directions kidnappings and killings they themselves run the risk of being murdered so what you have is this is leading out of the language that is being carried out by the islamist fighters this is resulting in the spread of distance of nation you have the scarcity of sources this too is leading to discrepancies in the reports that are making it into the international media and then of course you have videos that are being posted online that are sometimes difficult to independently verify there was one video that was posted that purported to show the killing of kurds and said that they were burned to death later this turned out to be false now we could simms solves say that the attacks are being carried out by islamised fighters that are linked to al qaida you have as one of these groups the all nusra front and this is an organization that

has pledged to establish an islamic state in northern syria this is precisely the area where these kurds are living so this is why although for some time you've had the kurds on the periphery of the conflict increasingly we've seen them in the line of fire the united nations says that it is investigating these incidents but the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has urged the u.n. not to apply double standards saying that terrorist attacks are being carried out in any kind of argument that these attacks are being carried out against an out dated regime is not an argument because essentially you need to use the same standard you cannot employ double standards when referring and labeling attacks as terrorist attacks full of the situation out there is getting as complex as it is and we're following events with you policy they are middle east correspondent giving us an update right now turkey's a founded self called good dream a pro western style. supporting the rebels and mending its relations with the kurds

on r.t. dot com patrick henningsen posed the dilemma. is articles online now. russia and the u.s. sending rather contradictory signals about their relationship is no sign of cold war thinking according to foreign minister sergey lavrov who is with the russian defense she's meeting their u.s. counterparts president obama very says relations need to be paused and reassessed it's all in the wake of obama's canceling the summit with a bloody me to burgeon off to moscow granted edward snowden temporary asylum here is our correspondent in washington and she can with more remember the meeting

between russian and u.s. officials at the state department comes after president obama canceled the bilateral summit with the russian president is the potential of more and more often we hear about a new cold war between moscow and washington so everyone was listening very closely to what officials on both sides were saying then we heard two different messages coming from president obama and four minutes to laugh or off i remember very well what you said when we were saying goodbye he said well i believe that we can make a difference in the rest of their convictions let's. get as adults. and that's what we're trying to do because if you for. small incidents. become an impediment to every single. i think it would be that would be very wrong it's through this president obama in

the meantime did the opposite he has basically hyped up the cold war talk when president putin who was prime minister aware that it was president came back into power i think we saw more rhetoric on the russian side that was anti-american that . played into some of the old stereotypes about the cold war contest between the united states and russia and i've encouraged mr putin to. think forward as opposed to back on those issues with mixed success president obama also said in light of all the disagreements with russia mentioning syria and snowden it's time to make appalls and to recalibrate the tone of the talks at the state department at least the opening part that we have seen that was different there was an agreement on both sides that they should not lead disagreement and standards completely overshadow whatever progress the two countries can actually make one

area where the two countries can make a difference is the crisis in syria both state the objective the same objective that they want to political solution that they want to bring all sides of the syrian conflict together in geneva to try and map out such a political solution the syrian opposition says they are not going to sit down no one table with those who have blood on their hands moscow says in order to stop the bloodshed all hands need to come to the negotiating table and foreign minister lavrov this friday he said that secretary kerry assured him that the opposition will be there at that negotiating table so there were some very serious issues on the agenda like syria like missile defense in europe where russia and the u.s. obviously don't see eye to eye but making progress on any of those topics becomes that much harder when the relations are defined by scandals and today we heard foreign minister lavrov trying very hard to ease the tension to move it away from the cold war talk but president obama's remarks seem to have exacerbated the

tension. international relations expert the day he says it would be a mistake if washington lets node in software damages ties with moscow as too many world issues depend on them getting along. u.s. administration simply cannot afford to exclude russia from important talks on very important issues. before snowden happens a couple months ago those issues were very much to do with syria and some foreign policy issues as well as some economic issues that the u.s. and russia have in common it just seems that this particular snowden affair has unleashed a level of anger in the u.s. government that has that is preventing them from actually doing what they do very well which is to manage foreign policy manage crises and use the press to do that i think it's actually. a very unique and rarely seen sign of weakness

and the same news conference where president obama mentioned the strains with moscow he announced reform of the much maligned n.s.a. surveillance program although he promised more transparency and supervision the american president made it clear that data collection will continue the founding editor of news website and this can't be happening and told us it's just an attempt to calm the public down. first of all it is for press conferences totally for u.s. consumption and secondly. we have now seen five years of this where he says one thing and does another. you know each he is not going to cut back on the n.s.a. spying that's clear or. he he could just order it to cut back if he would he in the past had expressed great concern about the n.s.a. program and yet he's expanded on his watch for five years so i don't see it being cut back east been going after whistleblowers in the most fierce way that anyone

can recall and he uses it for that so what they're trying to do is to ghana and a growing concern about all the spying among americans the polls keep rising with the number of people who are saying that there is too much spying that the war on terror has overstepped on civil liberties i g.'s every mountain gets stuck into the u.s. government's handling of the n.s.a. surveillance scandal that's what's ahead in breaking this that ethics that g.m.t. . in an era of rampant surveillance government secrecy and whistleblower crackdowns more and more questions have arisen over the actions and intentions of the u.s. government regardless of how doubtful we may be at its justifications worktop to just accept the explanations that are given and if we don't if we acknowledge the gaping holes of hell that just makes us conspiracy theorists the project of term

that for years has been cast on those who have been bold enough to ask questions so how did we get to a place where truth seekers are now conspiracy theorists. looking for us to do their job or save anything like that. campaigning to become moscow's next mayor is now full speed with less than a month to go before russia's capital picks up the leader the first round of debates between the candidates is scheduled for monday and it's another look now while two rival runners are already getting a head start. and they're on the last leg of the campaign has officially begun in the first election for moscow's mayor in ten years there are six candidates over seven million registered voters and a lot of promises being made it's not easy to please

a city of an estimated fourteen million people there are major problems huge projects and the seemingly never ending fight against corruption incumbent circus that beyond and his team in office for two years are confident the city's streets speak for themselves. as have been completely changed the city is prorated have been public space fighting traffic development of public transportation and to take medicine and education to new levels of development and his plan is to continue to do forty if he's elected but also running is anticorruption blogger and opposition leader alexei martini recently wrapped up in a fraud scandal arrested and then released his campaign volunteers are promising a new moscow who would have you ever been to paris that's what we want green everywhere you look here for two months they've been putting down tiles bike paths our plans for traffic will be like the rest of the world not like so banyan it

seems although a staunch critic of the government in a vine is platform so far sounds a lot like subunits it's a liberal program you know it's a program geared for the reach for the rich young and active you know so that they will be able to survive in this city so what about those who are old poor and need support the state media is focused on some value and the opposition media with some help from the west and from angles is promoting not wildly so the core mission of the socialists are sidelined i think the program was more humane either way the vote is expected to draw tremendous turnout that's media coverage and possibly even controversy and he's now. a r t. so like hey do we go food shopping with a different so if you find you already made did i have the dubious will introduce you to the german thought well you let's you pick your own poll while it's still

safety. isn't a warden he's there the father you could say that slobber raises he makes normal people out of ugly duckling. exactly what happened there i don't know but yeah killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confess the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were they

could do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. thanks for staying with us here on our team pre-packed and i have been ready to day a bill so that we can feed at speed but it's proving to be somewhat unsavory as costs almost no less than less about what's really in their dinner parties paid all about has been to meet a german fall but here's a solution is a living menu. europeans want to know exactly where their food is coming from this year we've seen the scandal of forced me being passed off as beef and ready meals and the genetically modified crop giant monsanto decide that there isn't a market for them in you. all this is given one pig farmer an idea

how to assure customers that his product is the best it can be and shine. it's important for people to see the environment where that it will take an animal has grown up they get to see them in a field surrounded by grass not in some big stock even if. buying from burned is a little different from going to your local organic butcher customers pick their pig from photos online and then through a web cam they can watch the animal grow when you get back and then several months later they receive their requested cut. the idea behind this belongs to a student from berlin who denys bookman his philosophy was that people should look better quality products he wanted to increase awareness and make it known how produced with famous chefs politicians and styles of music and sport queuing up the bones products from caucus and some with a whole pig going for around four hundred fifty euros. the transport ends

their policy on customers like to have transparency in the production process and people want to know where their meat comes from we're looking to fill that niche. these days more and more people are concerned where their food has come from but for some just because you like pork chops doesn't mean you want to come face to face with the pig. that you wouldn't like it would be counter to tell you i'm sorry because it could be thinking. oh yeah tastes great but i'm not sure i would have liked to see it when it was a lie many though seem happy enough to watch their dinner. grow from a free range piglets to a juicy. couplet. you get to see where the biggest comes from have a grow up and live ultimately who comes to the product i've got no problem. with the goods are grouped in a natural habitat which in turn can create strays and better the ones you know

which are needed in light of the recent scandal that is important it just. moves diners would say they want farm animals read in healthy conditions before they get to the but just whether you want a closer relationship with looks to become your sausages or chops is really a matter of taste these are all of a party german. let's take a quick look now at some other world news that clashes in northern ireland have left twenty six of police officers injured loyalist protesters attacked security forces with bricks and bottles as they waited for republicans parade to arrive in belfast police use baton rounds and water cannon to disperse the rally in july riots rocked the city for five days after loyalists were banned from parading through a nationalist area off the city. a small aircraft has crashed in the u.s. state of connecticut killing at least six people a propeller driven plane is trying to houses as

ticket and you're finally off on your holiday from so the very last thing you want to have happen is to get into trouble for doing it nineteen thousand people so consular assistance last year according to the latest figures by the foreign and commonwealth office into british behavior a broad there has been a rise in some countries of more serious crimes and that's causing concern in particular the statistics about rape and sexual assaults are up by ten percent now in the countries that have been pinpointed as a particular areas of concern especially in turkey and boys all countries popular with young holidaymakers all countries renowned for their very busy night life now it has to be said the brits do tend to have a bit of a reputation of course and out the whole continues to be a major factor in many of the problems that i think we are as a nation five who live abroad especially for you you often see brits completely

drunk out of their heads. yeah alcohol is the biggest bank to earn income most of the nine hundred thousand people so consular assistance thing a lot of that is going to be youngsters getting drunk a little bit a little bit and so the foreign and commonwealth office reminding travelers once again to keep safe. coming up after the break it's prime interest. all the more.
