i don't believe. the u.s. military is reportedly waiting for the green light to intervene in syria with the pentagon moving naval forces closer and sending another missile carriage to the region. for an investigation into an alleged amongst chemical a top hand damascus with the european states blamey assad despite a lack of evidence. also the sound spine for cash major tech companies are accused of taking hundreds from us intelligence in exchange for help and it so we've been subelements programs. and about to get some real recognition of the german government decide that. coin is legal and try that means of.

this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. the u.s. is raging for a possible missile strike on syria and reports say preparations are already under way the ban to go to is moving in stable forces closer ensuring president obama has military options available he is mounting action following an alleged chemical a sock which is being blamed on syria's government to three destroyers are currently deployed in the mediterranean and according to reports a fourth is on its way all of them carrying up to three hundred cruise missiles which is more than enough to acts rapidly about the wants to strike let's not forget about the nature maritime group functioning in the region which is for more ships and if we take a look at the mainland the u.s. and its western allies military presence around syria is also significant so it

looks like washington is seriously where military options despite obama expressing cautiousness and intervention at the same time he is middle east correspondent paula ca's following the escalation in the region. 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 after a nother 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 or took place but at the same time syrian state television is reporting that syrian soldiers often entering tunnels that worldview described 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 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 major the use of chemical weaponry inside syria and they are now waiting to receive authorization to be able to receive. actually as 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 cooperation to the un investigators to the time. despite no confirmation of reports that the syrian government carried out a chemical attack international pressure on assad is increasing the french foreign minister insists all indications suggest the government was behind the massacre and will still respond with force if delegations are proven the u.k. foreign secretary william hague also said it was a chemical attack by the assad regime and here is

a similar voice from sweden its foreign minister claims he had a hard time coming to any conclusion other than that deadly chemicals were used by the regimes forces this as a banner called america an indispensable nation in stabilizing the middle east analyst binoy camargue who's written extensively on syria so all the signs are pointing to an intervention. there is a general sentiment towards some form of intervention which might come in the form of a tactical strike in the use of cruise missiles although there is still reservation us to the extent that such an intervention will take at this point it will be probably a minor one with the use of tactical weapons without more the united states still remains rather bruised by involvement in afghanistan and in iraq so if they risk being involved and i certainly do not see a commitment of ground forces of any of any sort what unfortunately i do see happen as a destabilizing of the situation the united states does take this route of intervention

it's a point to make that moves are being made to initiate some strike. whether it's going to come in light of the u.n. investigation or whether it's going to come in light of anything else for means to be seen but i think it's fair point to say that the united states is putting the pieces into play for a possible strike. despite no confirmation of reports that they see where the government carried out a chemical attack international pressure on assad is increasing. right now across life to the medina a political activist opposing international intervention in syria mr madani hope you can hear is so do you see the military buildup in the region as a sign of a nearing intervention. could you repeat the question please of course so do you see at the military buildup in the region

as a sign of a nearing military intervention. i didn't hear very good question very well but about the chemical about the chemical weapons i wanted to say that it's not the only time that they are. trying to make this allegations against the syrian government just to justify. and. intervention in syria since obama actually led lights the deadlines about this chemical weapons but clearly this is the third time that chemical weapons are used by the rebels and actually mr vitale told keon had delivered also some proofs in satellite images. telling show we that the rebels are using had used. yesterday to

shots of their chemical weapons one from duma which was. the city is down which was dominated by the. by the rebels from at least one year through into two directions one to georgia which has been today. opened by the army and the proof is that many soldiers have been suffocating and actually they are a lot of. investigations and also just saying that these soldiers and the other one had been. murdered. and. that's so. don't you think that the military escalation military buildup in the region is a sign of

a nearing intervention and what do you think. i think. that. the escalation is not while the army is going just to from victory to victory just to comfort the country and to protect the population from all the exactions committed by our own these jihadists who are cutting the nakes and getting the people and gracing all the civilians. in that for that and since they are these circles a syrian liberation army. which is only the jihad the know saw and several jihadist to from and guide up said jihad the organizations from al qaida who are really supported military by the accidental

countries under several names. so they are supported by the united states supported by france and england and especially directly furnished. in weapons by saudi arabia so actually they are they are they are gruesome they are losing their influence they are defeated and just this this time and this time the usage of these chemical weapons is coming to help them just to stop everything and to make more investigations just to let them recover and play them again more or. more polices and and just to relax from their defeat so this is a very tactical. tactic and the problem in the end this war which is

their lives are against syria. then two countries because they want to protect israel because. one of the. resistor. in the. right beside. beside iran. is the home. made very strong allegations there dani a political activist opposing international intervention in syria thank you very much indeed for your time. the national security agency allegedly paid the bills for google yahoo microsoft and facebook in return for helping its spy online this information comes a new leaked files for whistleblower edward snowden and is the first reported evidence of financial dealings like this. the so-called pay to play

relationship between the u.s. national security agency and the internet companies reportedly began after the foreign intelligence surveillance court here in the u.s. . rules in october two thousand and eleven that some of the n.s.a.'s activities were surprise unconstitutional and violated the fourth amendment now the judgment which was declassified on wednesday by the obama administration found that the agency was unable to separate the early domestic communications from foreign traffic now while the n.s.a. reportedly began working on a solution to the process that had been ruled illegal tech companies including google yahoo microsoft and facebook allegedly incurred cost certification demands now the price of course is required to sign annual certifications that provide the legal framework for the n.s.a. surveillance operations but in the wake of the court's judgment certifications were only being renewed on a temporary basis the entire process reportedly costed prizm participants millions

of dollars to implement each successful extension and those costs according to u.s. documents were covered by an arm of the n.s.a. known as special source operations according to the guardian newspaper n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has described special source operations as the crown jewel of the agency that handles all surveillance programs that rely on corporate partnerships with telecoms and internet providers to access communication data now this revelation is being considered evidence that a financial relationship between tech companies and the n.s.a. has existed and as the guardian newspaper put it the disclosure that taxpayers' money was used to cover the company's compliance costs reeses new questions surrounding the relationship between silicon valley and the n.s.a. now the guardian reached out to the alleged prism participants for a response about receiving financial reimbursements from the u.s. government now yahoo spokesperson admits that the. has requested reimbursement

quote consistent with the law facebook responded by saying it has never received any compensation in connection with responding to government data requests google did not answer any of the specific questions that were asked by the guardian newspaper and microsoft declined to give a response on the record so not only are we now learning that taxpayer dollars may have financed government programs that broke down barriers that protected citizens privacies the companies that are listed as prism participants are still denying any involvement. the n.s.a. admitted that some of its employees were rules of spying on american citizens and you can read all about the agency coming clean on our website dot com. nearly seven months of refusing to eat being force fed and alleged abuse with no end in sight that's been the deadly experience for many gone tunnel inmates since

early february the food protest has gone on for two hundred days now but president obama is still stalling on shutting down the facility let's see what the situation is like right now at the u.s. run camp there are one hundred and sixty six inmates there and the military says thirty seven are still refusing food to protest indefinite detention many of the prisoners haven't even gone to trial and over hard work cleared for release years ago u.s. taxpayers at picking up the ever increasing tough this price doctor every detainees two hundred seven million dollars annually over thirty times higher than similar costs at the most expensive domestic prison in the u.s. capital up and you get nearly hot by a billion dollars per year coming out of citizens pockets u.s. public defense collar defender collets warner frequently talks to the gone turner inmates that he represents and he told my colleague bill what's going on and

becomes and why it remains of. 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 of this and we've heard accounts of horrific 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 they began and 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 camp says that we're 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 in the present

obama hasn't kept his promise to close the prison that cost millions during a time of budget cuts then the states will lose to make some are actually cleared for release 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 right now you don't see that the president had to already to transfer these individuals now 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. coming out place at the far eastern head of rescue workers soldiers and volunteers trying to protect russia. as historic floods threaten the science to bring you the latest on the efforts after this break.

and this is also a welcome bond the german government has become the fast in the world to recognize bitcoin as a legal private currency transactions conducted in the virtual cash will be subject to sales tax in the country and bitcoin might now be exchanged for other currencies within the banking system is based on a reports now from the campus hall of bitcoin. it's a real step towards it becoming a universally accepted legitimate other 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 of buying 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 on regulated by any state authorities or some countries jumping on it like here in germany others like thailand well they're just not interested. we've gone fast appeared into thousand ten days one anonymous creator published a paper laying out his ideas on how the peer to peer electronic cash system should be operated says that a digital currency has gained popularity across the world thousands of small online merchants recognize big coin as an alternative to major currencies the value of individual bitcoins hit a record high this april when it was being traded at over two hundred sixty u.s. dollar is growing concerns over the effect bitcoin could harm on the dollar to the

was floods in over two centuries and russia is not the only country suffering as you can see the runs along the border with china which has also suffered catastrophic whether it since the beginning of summer already over one hundred are reported dead and another one hundred fifteen missing three of russia's regions have been worst affected and the experts say the floods have yet to peak over hold for a million homes and livelihoods are under threat in the far east of her and the next twenty four hours are critical our correspondent paul scott is monitoring the situation there for us. base is a city under threat a city on the edge of the moment water levels continuing to rise with the pink not expected for another twenty four hours or so now is the more river so that 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 victims analyze or 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 in sports arenas and schools for example and this resident told r.t. she simply doesn't know what to expect when she returns home. everything has been

washed away because firewood the second floor has 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. isn't the supporters of ousted president mohamed morsy scattered around is across egypt in what the muslim brotherhood called the friday of masses one person has been killed and dozens were wounded in clashes between protesters and security forces meanwhile president obama has signaled he will not because thing of aides to the egyptian authorities is said that while the u.s. is reevaluating its relationship with cairo stopping help wouldn't affect the actions of the interim government but insisted that at this point washington needs

to look at the long term interests of the egyptian people and the u.s. itself defense consultant more in value says the you are someone who wants to ensure a friendly relationship with iran. the americans are ensuring that they have a friend in power they will always provide aid and this is why they're not counseling that all. makes it clear that he's supporting all the u.s. government to supporting the present status of the military being empowered to say that they're concerned about what is really 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 what the military and the united states government have had a very causal relationship for for decades so that's not so good to change. some

they see geopolitics is a lot like a schoolyard and while obama snubbing a meeting with the president of russia to in theory punish him for the stoughton incident sounds kind of amateur that is the kind of stuff the girl you did when you're sixteen would do kids so date just to show you how much your feelings are hurt let's not mistake the 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 but it will 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
