beefing up of the u.s. navy presence in the middest iranian sparks fears of an american intervention to syria made called for about syria with the latest alleged chemical attack in the country. going to coin internals to move to the next level with the country now recognizing the virtual currency for legal purposes. and a lawyer for the gun tunnel bay detainees blames the white house will they need to take action to stop the last hunger strike at the prison which has paid the two hundred day mark.

international news life along this is all t. with me. thanks for joining us the u.s. navy is expanding its presence in the mediterranean with a cruise missile and war ship the move is a response to the escalating conflict in syria meanwhile in washington the defense department is set to assess america's options with a crisis best despite a statement by barack obama but the u.s. must be weary of involvement in a further costly interventions tensions have been running high fully accuse a friends by this see we're in a position that our sons forces gassed hundreds of people and a mask is on wednesday. meanwhile the syrian opposition has pledged to guarantees safe access for u.n. team to inspect the site of the alleged deadly chemical attack and my colleague bill donned and. discussed it does a promise which can be kept. i have to understand that this statement came from the

syrian national council which is essentially based in turkey and it's a bunch of men in suits and they're notoriously disjointed there has been a lot of criticism about their actions they can't seem to come to an agreement at the same time we also have to understand that we're talking about syria which is at this point penetrated by a whole number of rebel fighters a lot of who are actually associated with al qaida who are not exactly working together with the s.n.c. so this is the can say yes of course come in and take a look and actually they're insisting that the u.n. inspectors have to come and take a look and do their investigation within the next forty eight hours it's absolutely vital but the same time there is no guarantee that they will actually provide safe access considering that this is the area where the fighting continues between his forces and the rebel forces and of course u.n. inspection team it's been in the country for a few days anyway looking at previous reports no coverage starts but what sort of progress has it made any developments not entirely because you have to understand that these are these reports that they're now investigating came

a month ago right on the very similar circumstances again they were coming from the syrian opposition takes several months for the u.s. or the team of the u.n. inspectors to get there but the irony is that we still have absolutely no credible support to those statements as well in fact russian minister of foreign affairs said that there has been a rocket fired indeed on wednesday but it was very similar to a rocket that was fired by the syrian opposition some months ago and that rocket was indeed laden. with chemical agent of some unknown origin and michael maloof senior security policy analyst in the office of the u.s. secretary of defense says unverified reports released by the opposition could mislead the media. the syrian government has actually called upon the un to investigate but they cannot. open up areas that are under the opposition control they can certainly. ask that the u.n. come in and look at whatever documentation they might have so i think that this is

a very serious development and what's happening is that the regular media is just assuming that it's the it's the syrian government when in fact they're being fed information from the opposition so i think everyone has to be very careful and certainly policymakers need to be very careful before they take any action it's going to be very very difficult to really get to the bottom of this latest episode . continuing to talk about syria now and let's get the details live from paula it's clear paula. well so what does this all mean exactly what's going on that. well what we do know is that the united states is moving its naval forces closer to syria all of this coming ahead of a possible mulling over by the american president barack obama over whether or not

to use military action inside that country but obama of course has made no such decision he has said that he needs to be extreme caution and wariness when thinking about employing any kind of military action that any such action would be both costly and very very difficult the u.s. defense department however has been tossed with providing obama with all of the details now this latest movement by the united states comes off to another report of a deadly attack earlier this week that saw the use allegedly of chemical weaponry there has been lots of unverified footage making the rounds online we've seen photos of people foaming at the mouth people suffocating all of appointing to the possible use of saturn guess some of the photos online do show empty shells it does seem to point to the fact that this latest attack had this weaponry fired from rebel held

areas but the point needs to be made that the footage is and verify it we have no confirmation of when this footage was taken who took could or indeed precisely where it took place but at the same time syrian state television is reporting that syrian soldiers off to entering tunnels that were used by rebel fighters in the sinai damascus emerged suffocating that ambulances had to be saint to the scene and at the same time they did find chemical agents inside those tunnels. of course all of these chemical time shows have triggered advanced international reaction bring bring us up to date with the latest. well at the moment. the united nations investigators are inside syria in fact they've been there for the better part of a week their wives last sunday to investigate some thirteen reports of the use of chemical weaponry inside syria and they are now waiting to receive authorization to

be able to receive access to the scene of this latest chemical attack this attack did happen earlier this week reports we've been receiving are that anywhere between dozens and one thousand three hundred people were killed damascus has said that it is giving its maximum corporation to the u.n. investigators for the kind of their task the russian team has called for those urging the syrian government to cooperate the whole timing hallway of this latest allegation over the use of. being reported to be done by the syrian government is to be interesting and we've heard from the russian government that it's casting doubts over claims that damascus was indeed behind this latest attack saying that it's suspects that the evidence might be used to frame the syrian government in russian foreign ministry spokesperson did say that they were getting new evidence

that these claims were of a provocative meter and that the reports that have been circulating on the internet that these accusations that damascus indeed carried out this attack in fact were posted several hours before the so-called attack actually happened so of course there are a lot of question marks over what in detroit speired earlier this week. all right charities paula slayer line from jerusalem paula thank you very much indeed for that. germany is turning itself into a magnet for bitcoin lovers this would be a very rational currency was recognized for legal on tax purposes in the country big conference bassed on to the global scene back in two thousand and eight after anonymous creator published a paper describing how the virtual currency. since than it's been raining more fines and momentum all across the world and is now except at thousands of small online merchants the value of individual bitcoins hit

a record high this april when the currency was being traded at over two hundred sixty u.s. dollars and to meet a growing buzz that bitcoin could someday high a chunk of the greenback that american government decided to play earlier this month and years authorities claim become ensuite could be used for criminal activities ranging from drug smuggling to child pornography or no reports are from the heart of bitcoin the berlin. it's a real step towards it becoming a universally accepted legitimity but the option to state issued currencies now it is quite popular here in germany particularly here in berlin where if you go to some bars and restaurants you can actually pay for food and drinks there using coins as well as other online stores that accept them for just about anything else you can you can want to buy now what has actually happened by the german finance ministry they've declared that big calling is now unit of account what that

actually means is it's not recognised as a an official currency but it is eligible to be taxed now that means that anybody speculating on because well if they sell them within one year or replying them they could be eligible for capital gains tax however that all sounds great for the tax man it may well be a lot harder than that sounds because of the actual nature of bitcoin it is a peer to peer online currency it would be very hard to track down just who was selling to whom for tax purposes so that might not exactly work out how the state funds use it but what it is is official recognition for a currency that is growing in popularity in some countries are accepting big calling as this you new potential one state backed currency of course it can't be devalued or increased by any state by because there just isn't one that controls it it's all comes from the computers it all comes out of mathematics and it is

therefore regulated by any state authorities or some countries jumping on it like here in germany others like thailand well they're just not interested. and coming at this hour no pain before it all and this stricken city have has to record flooding as volunteers and imagine security is full to find defenses and evacuate people away from the best way that curry is right in the eye of the storm. following the developments and we'll have a report coming up very shortly for you. flip on your arm and a lot of the new knowledge base peter limone. a

currently holds one hundred and sixty six people so just seven of them are still refusing food in protest at indefinite detention for six are being held without charge or trial with no freedom in sight ages six were in fact cleared for release years ago but still linger in a legal limbo created by washington keeping the facility open meanwhile is costing u.s. taxpayers have to be two point seven million dollars a year detainee and that's dozens of times higher than the sum needed to house a convict of the most expensive prison america bringing the total annual cost of gun tama to four hundred and fifty million dollars and my colleague bill dahl spoke with carlos warner who represents several of the inmates and he says the white house is simply refusing to shut down the prison. the words that i hear from the camp are just as bad as they've always been suffering to feeding people not getting along no communication with the military so although the military is telling us

that the numbers have gone down that's not the story that we're hearing we're hearing that again there's still that this horrible suffering going on and this is the two hundred day you know we've heard accounts of who refuse to tell you the treatment by the prison stuff including allegations of sexual abuse is anybody actually investigating these allegations now sexual abuse i think goes around these these searches these growing searches that the baby gannon they did these searches obviously to keep my clients from talking to me in terms of investigation i don't think anybody's investigating that the camps that were doing this for security purposes but that's preposterous when you consider that the client isn't even seeing a lawyer the clients with soldiers talking on the phone entire time not present obama hasn't kept his promise to close the prison it cost millions during a time of budget cuts then the states will lose to make sandwiches for relief so what will it take to finally close down guantanamo guantanamo is a political animal it's run by

a phobia here in the united states and it's just going to take a lot of hard work like people not only like people like me but but some people in washington in order to close it and right now you don't see that the president has the authority to transfer these individuals now that he can do it under the current law with no exceptions and he's choosing not to do so and he's even said that there are several countries that are ready willing able to take these individuals we know there's eighty six of them that are cleared for release the president has done nothing on that yet. dot com right now for you full take sick patients japan's nuclear regulates islams as the latest inspect. the times and the figures showing the plant was. taking. a story on how pension payments for the growing number of people aged over sixty can become an untenable burden for the world's top economies read all about it and she got.

have been engulfed the main city within the flood stricken land where is the same fate. reports now on the dire situation better. bass is a city under threat a city on the edge of the moment water levels are continuing to rise with the peak not expected for another twenty four hours or so now is the more river to my right that is causing all the problems it's breached its banks and these are beginning to filter through to the city now work is continuing to reinforce the city around fifteen kilometers worth of dikes have been built like this one and they are being reinforced and raised along with the water levels now despite the perilous situation authorities say that they are prepared for the worst. organizational issues are worked out it could be some setbacks but the main point is that there are no big tombs analyzer work who will work for the good now around two and a half thousand people have been affected by the floods so far in and around the

city in the majority of those people have been housed in temporary accommodation centers to provide things such as food drinking water shelter and medicine and basically rest bite from the floods there are around seventy that have been built in and around the city and sports arenas and schools for example and this resident told r.t. that she simply doesn't know what to expect when she returns home. everything has been washed away firewood the second floor is already been flooded my flat is on the first floor and there are one and a half metres of water there i'm here now but all my furniture all my clothes are there now president vladimir putin is expected in the city and in the region early next week to inspect the damage that these floods of course but at the water levels continue to rise and they show absolutely no sign of receding it could be a while yet before the full extent of the damage is revealed. in egypt fresh clashes between supporters of ousted president mohamed morsi and the military

that they're concerned about what has been going on the toppling of morsi and his detention that's just trying to fool the citizens of egypt. resume normal relations as soon as the civilians. go back home you know or stop protesting. the military and the united states government have had a very cozy relationship for four decades so that's that's a good change. and more international news for you this sound so side bomb has told at least twenty six and wounded dozens more in baghdad and the strike occurred in a crowded park in the north of the campus so the latest assault has ruled the death toll of the day to set a six people after a wave of attacks there. two bombs targeting mosques in the lebanese city of tripoli have killed at least forty two people and injured more than three hundred fifty according to authorities on the blast claimed the line is

a wash it was a mosque home to a cleric with with reported links to syria's opposition minutes later a second explosion occurred during friday prayers at a mosque in the mina district no one has yet claimed responsibility. a u.s. soldier responsible for the killing of sixteen afghan civilians has been sentenced to life in prison without parole robert bales stormed a village in kandahar province in twenty eleven in the middle of the night shooting families while they were asleep is attorneys say they're sold came as a result of stress and trauma suffered during military operations is staff sergeant apologized for the killings and pleaded guilty in june to avoid the death penalty. at least thirty people have been killed and six to eight injured in a riot in believe is largest moxon security prison saul or some prisoners were shot others were burned to death in a fight between rival gangs as in many overcrowded last american jails inmates

logic control the inside of the facility. iceland is about to abandon its plans to join the e.u. the country's foreign ministry says it's disbanding the special committee which has been working on the negotiations and according to the government of the parliamentary elections held earlier this year whether you're a skeptic parties to power show that there's no public support for e.u. membership anymore and our cell phones economist economics professor at the university of iceland things his nation will be better on. at the heart of the issue is that iceland is a resource wealthy island in the middle of the north atlantic whereas the european union is a central european project to integrate these central european economies into. a single economic area through institutions like the common currency and the common market and now. the issue is whether fitting iceland in these news can

negotiate is like putting a square peg through a round hole and that is the. source of the. what you call it the going backwards in the negotiations. and up next on the takes out the house sledgehammer tim bosh the mainstream means it for what it's missing that's him breaking the scent. they say geopolitics is a lot like a schoolyard and what obama snubbing a meeting with the president of russia to in theory punish him for the stone incident sounds kind of a mature that is the kind of stuff the girl you did when you're sixteen would do

cancel a date just to show you how much your feelings are hurt let's not mistake this cancelled meeting with cutting off diplomatic relations which is the total rejection of any form of discussion with another country which really isn't a bold and possibly dangerous political message but obama did was more like a minor annoyance he knows that he will talk to putin again in the near future i mean how are they not going to talk in the next g. eight summit what is he just going to have to hide behind merkel the whole time and hope it works out or ducked behind the shrimp cocktail whatever here's a russian accent one could argue that to appease republicans he had to do something to look strong after the snowden debacle but this grandstanding just comes across as silly passing something like a new jackson verda commandment yeah that is how you could shows people that you're really mad even if your anger is irrational because stone pretty much did the right thing but that's just my opinion.

they'll end. up with a thirty three possible solution i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so many i mean family and such i know that i'm still really messed up.

in the old story so. it's. worse sure to look a little like out to the. radio guy for a minute. i want. to give you never seen anything like this i'm still. welcome the break in a set i'm your host abby martin you know it seems that on every issue important to americans the problem reaction and solution is always framed by the two dominating political parties in this country the problem is that these two teams democrats and republicans more closely resemble a single party one that stands for and purely as an corporate gain yet several political ideologies are gaining traction in the us but i virtually no representation in the political and media establishment so if you've tuned into the show hoping to hear the dueling perspective of democrats and republicans well

you've come to the wrong place because today i'll be hosting a discussion with people who represent the voices of a growing alternative will be talking about libertarianism anarchism and socialism very philosophy is gaining momentum as more people are becoming disillusioned with the status quo. oh to talk about everything from the role of government to an ideal society i'm joined now by a brilliant panel and breaking the sets first ever alternative voices debate starting with scott crow author of black flags and windmills and founder of the anarchist common ground collective and peterson production director at freedom works and editor of libertarian republic dot com and eugene puryear former vice presidential candidate of the party for socialism and liberation thanks so much all of you for coming on face or tragedy or we start to this epic debate or conversation rather i want to briefly outline your political ideologies in about a minute's time and scott when people think of anarchism they think to.
