that. night and the rest. will be every week. the threat of an imminent western attack on syria seems to be receding president obama's pressure to get congress' approval while britain and france agree to wait for you when weapons inspectors to record back from damascus. over washington accuses president asad of using callicles on civilians r t looks at america's own murky past from deadly agent orange in viet nam to depleted uranium in iraq. and after dozens of convicted sex offenders in britain get themselves taken off a police watch list r.t. talks to one child abuse victim fears for the public safety.

this is already coming to life from the russian capital with me marina joshie the u.s. and british drive to launch a military operation against syria has come up against new hurdles both abroad in the home and westminster where parliament's about to meet prime minister cameron is unlikely to get the main opposition party onside to approve a strike earlier the u.n. security council failed to agree on how to act but britain says even without sanction an attack will be justified on humanitarian grounds laura smith reports from london. david cameron has realised that he's probably not going to get the votes for an immediate motion on military strikes on syria and so he's put the brakes on slightly opposition leader ed miliband said that he was going to make his m.p.'s votes against any such motion and also it became clear that around seventy

of cameron's own m.p.'s looked like they were going to vote against so now there's going to be a much more softly softly approach there will be a debate on thursday but m.p.'s instead of being asked to vote immediately on military action will be asked to vote on a strong humanity. alleged use of chemical weapons cameron now says and the government say that they will now wait for the results of the u.n. report from syria on this alleged chemical attack the u.s. however still says that it's not really interested in waiting and then off that report has been received then they will have another vote on direct military action and david cameron also says that he will now go back to the u.n. security council to try to secure some kind of resolution a u.n. mandate for military action meanwhile the speaker of the syrian parliament has written a letter to u.k. m.p.'s we can buy the house of commons press office here in london inviting

a delegation of m.p.'s from london to come to damascus and see for themselves bring their own experts the conclusions of this u.n. report themselves a lot of the members of parliament emailed and tweeted to their constituents yesterday are asking for their opinions on whether military action should take place in syria and one can only assume that the reason that very many of them were willing to vote on that military action is because their constituents were so against it they had an overwhelming response a lot of m.p.'s said to be in a couple of polls done one by the daily telegraph which put just nine percent of people in favor of military action in syria we also saw a protest by the stop the war coalition outside downing street on wednesday the stop the war say that around a thousand people with their banners hands off syria cut war not welfare and the stop the war coalition also said that they're being contacted by people by phoning in wanting to donate people that they haven't heard from since two thousand and

three ahead of the iraq war who want to become members of stop the war against it that's quite a significant thing as well. high ranking former military officials in britain are also warning the government against striking syria saying such an attack would have unintended consequences are you spoke to former first sea lord and security minister lord west who told us that intervention might play into his hands. i was very concerned a couple of days ago when i came back into this country to find that we seem to be on a course to go straight down the track of military action the danger with saying we're going to use a limited surgical strike is all my experience of wars and i've been in them and in the lead up to them and i've been running them and things is to find that you have a more of unintended consequences you think you're just going to do one little thing but actually things then happen and expand the nations like the u.s. and the u.k. and france and turkey need to be very very careful about what action they take we

need to be very clear what is it we actually want to achieve what is the end state we want we need to have in place mechanisms militarily to ensure that things don't go beyond a certain degree but i'm not at all convinced that an attack would actually help the condition of the people within within syria we've seen what happened in iraq you know we've seen what's happened in afghanistan i have no doubt that the al qaeda group and there are a very large group i'm afraid in the opposition funded by people who haven't thought through what this really means would be delighted if america and britain and france attacked they would be delighted by it but that doesn't mean they like us and they want to actually have they oppose us and would like to do is farm but in a temporary basis that would suit them so we need to be very very careful how we actually act in the us a growing number of american lawmakers are urging barack obama to get congressional approval and explain the objectives of planned attack the us leader

who squarely blames last week's chemical assault on regime forces says a strike will send a strong warning to president asad. well that's likely to mean assaults on key syrian military assets and this map shows you the airfields used by syrian jets well there is speculation that they will bear the brunt of any attack with cruise missiles targeting warplanes and the runways what as for who will be doing the firing u.s. air bases are located to the north and south while american to stores and attack submarines are to the west along with a british air base president obama says there's still no decision on whether the plans will give the go ahead but officials are making it clear that military action can be launched without u.n. security council approval supposedly reports from the. what we're hearing from both residents and opposition forces who say that assad's army has

evacuated most of its personnel from military and security headquarters inside the capital city this is of course in preparation for any kind of possible western military intervention at the same time we are receiving reports that army units in near the capital have started confiscating heavy truck trailers a needs will be used to transport heavy weaponry from one location to another we are also receiving reports that as sides and naval forces have started docking alongside the commercial ships in tears that are usually used for commercial traffic now here in lebanon itself the situation of course is extremely fluid and we're hearing from a hizbollah leader that the movement will not stand idle showed damascus come under fire from the waist we're receiving reports that as of yet are not confirmed that russia is carrying out a rotation of its naval forces in the mediterranean sea and increasingly we're

hearing from all political forces that there needs to be a united nations mandate before they can be any kind of western military action we're hearing this from the u.n. peace envoy brahimi at the same time russia saying that the united states is jumping the gun and that there needs to be the findings of this u.n. investigating team before any conclusions can be drawn you have a stalemate situation at the united nations security council a draft resolution was put forward but behind the scenes both russia and china have voiced their opposition to it so certainly not a consensus in terms of the international community and that might be part of the reason why the latest word from the american president barack obama is that he hasn't yet made a decision as to whether or not to launch military action inside syria while the british parliament stands divided over whether to strike in syria washington claims there is a moral reason to attack but as artie's marie aboard now reports the use of chemical weapons was of no concern of the words that u.s.

waged in the past be advised you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. wagging its finger of moral authority the u.s. began laying the groundwork for syrian intervention on monday let me be clear. the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity the obscenity of chemical weapons is something us secretary of state john kerry a vietnam veteran is very familiar with five decades ago america used agent orange during the vietnam war reportedly spraying more than twenty million gallons of the chemical weapon and other herbicides over parts of southern vietnam and along the borders of neighboring laos and cambodia it had the side effects of being terribly you know toxic and it caused lots of birth defects and terrible terrible effects of a genetic nature. exposed to it the herbicides were reportedly contaminated with

dioxin a deadly compound that remains toxic for decades and causes birth defects cancer and other illnesses the vietnam red cross estimates that agent orange has affected three million people spanning three generations including at least one hundred fifty thousand children born with severe birth defects since the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five the u.s. often and its foreign policy particularly is quick to blame others for things that it itself and does and this is known around the world as there the double standard of the united states the moral and political hypocrisy of washington in iraq america's chemical weapons legacy will be remembered for generations to come since the two thousand and three invasion experts say the number of iraqi children born with birth defects has skyrocketed some babies born without eyes others without limbs in fallujah researchers can't provide statistics saying there's too many

cases to report scientists link the epidemic to citizen's exposure to white phosphorus and depleted uranium toxic weapons reportedly used by u.s. soldiers who invaded the country all of the genetic damage effects that we see in iraq in my opinion. caused by a new more pins depleted uranium weapons. depleted uranium weapons of a new toy and these a really terrible weapons these are all weapons which of absolutely destroyed the genetic integrity of the population of iraq depleted uranium is a radioactive element that engineers say increases the penetration capacity of shells it's believed to have a shelf life of some four billion years and is otherwise known as the silent murder that never stops killing there is a clear reason that the world has banned entirely the use of chemical weapons there is a reason the international community has set a clear standard and why many countries have taken major steps to eradicate these

weapons while washington continues lecturing damascus a team of u.n. investigators is in syria trying to verify if chemical weapons were used if so what kind in the meantime if the u.s. does launch a unilateral military strike against syria without u.n. approval then the country policing the world will be in clear violation of international law reporting from new york for an up or nine r.t. . now the u.s. wasn't just using chemical agents in its own war as washington encourage it and other countries wanted seemed to suit the white house during the iran iraq war in the 1980's the u.s. fed intelligence to saddam hussein knowing full well that he was using chemical weapons to kill thousands of iranians including civilians a fact a former cia officer ray mcgovern says example if i is the two faced foreign policy of the united states. but what we have here is a situation where the united states government. enabled. you rock.

almost to conquer iran by providing you rock with satellite photography and turning a blind eye to its use of chemical weapons including sarin gas we had famous picture of donald rumsfeld shaking hands with saddam hussein that happened the day after the first public announcement that the iraqis had used mustard gas to go see your mania so ok so blind eye well you go in spades the rest of the problem really is that. we knew what was going on and going to geneva convention against the use of chemical warfare our top leaders knew it you question is you know had no conscience and then no shame and coming up how some rapists and child abusers any have managed to be taken off the list of sex offenders warned that another news just ahead.

well. it's technology innovations all the developments around. the future. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcome to the big picture. we speak your language or not of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you. there's a little tonnage of angola's stories. here.

that the spanish find out more visit i. welcome back this is r.t. now britain tries to keep tabs on sixty thousand sex offenders by keeping a register of who went to where they are but dozens including rapists and child abusers have managed to get off that list by successfully claiming as their rights were being breached. explains why. a victim of a truly horrific crime as a child paul was sexually abused by a family friend from the age of eight years old his torture continued until he was sixteen so. basically kerman does kill people i

lived in constant terror of my own mind flashbacks. aged sixteen paul managed to turn his life around and now counsels others who like him went through the trauma of sexual abuse many victims say that the knowledge that their former attackers will be under constant police monitoring even when released from prison is a reassurance that they won't be able to strike again but over the past year and number of convicted sex offenders have applied to come off the u.k. sex offenders register claiming they no longer pose a threat to society if a serious sex offender serves more than thirty months for their crime they're supposed to stay on the register for the rest of their lives police will monitor their whereabouts the inform local schools hospitals and potential employers about their existence within the community bought according to human rights laws it's a breach of criminals rights to keep them on the register indefinitely without the

chance of appeal the register is a list that isn't made public detailing for the police all those convicted of a crime under the sexual offenses act in england and wales it includes a range of criminals from convicted rapists and paedophiles to under-age minors who have consensual sex following a change in human rights law last year forty three sex offenders were removed from the register after successful appeals i think it's a very perverse understanding of human rights to put sex offenders before their victims before potential victims i mean the implications will mean a lot more offending but one children's charity says that the police need to remove those who no longer pose a threat. in order to focus on monitoring the prolific offenders i'm not pretending by the way that victims don't think this is the generally speaking that this would be troubling to them but in terms of my concern of protecting future victims from possible future risk we need the police to concentrate their resources on the guys

that have the highest risk if they judge these forty three individuals do not represent a future risk i don't want the police wasting any more time with the former victims a concerned day the list of those taken off the register includes eight rapists and twenty seven child sex attackers the people that i thought and counsel with are absolutely dumbfounded that paranoids is that their news perpetrator has been let off that list you are reading them are you are going back to being that doesn't all that hard work that poor person that has actually worked so hard to move forward has now just going to have to it's all undone because they've got to go through it again and they've also got to go through the torment they know that individual could potentially hurt some other child experts in the field of psychology say that questions remain over whether sex offenders can ever be rehabilitated there's a prison. them where has the sense from this treatment program is run our brain in

the arse we're going to these these these inmates and most of we know what to say we know how to get by we know how we can. what we need to say to prove we are being rehabilitated even if we're not the u.k. home office wasn't in favor of diverting but the supremes court held the rights of sex offenders looking for a second chance judges referred to article eight of the european convention on human rights to creating that even former sex criminals deserve the chance for private and family life she looked in two thousand and ten when the first two people were actually appealed and use the human rights as they were to child sex offenders. it just tells you a lot that these people won't have the register a my worry and my concern is the. they were access to more children paul says that his abuse developed him of his childhood and for a long time the desire to keep on living as well you know i beg to anybody out there that says that they have a human right just think of your child just think of your grandchild and think how

would you feel if that child basically was murdered it's emotionally from such a young age. london what r.t. dot com we outline a courtroom battle between washington and tehran with the run for appearing to sue the united states for masterminding the nine hundred fifty three cool to topple the country's democratically elected leadership last. multibillion dollar deals are side at a record number of participants. as leading russian and foreign air space companies brazil and they are cutting edge aircraft at the annual max air show in the moscow region. right seems. first rate. and i think the true. on our reporters were. instructed.

to be on the. well if not take a look at some other stories from around the world in argentina hundreds of rallied in the country's western province new can to protest against government plans for shale gas exploration people pointed to the harm drilling could do to the environment in july argentina's president cristina fernandez announced a one point five billion deal between a state owned oil company and the us energy giant chevron to exploit shale gas reserves in the country. and you get a stand fifteen policemen have been killed and ten wounded in an ambush carried out by taliban fighters according to officials the officers were attacked while patrolling one of the main highways in a western far province the attacks follow a spate of taliban assaults and civilians at a base operated by coalition troops violence is on the rise in afghanistan since

nato handed over security to afghan troops in june. a bus crash in kenya has killed at least forty one people and left dozens injured the bus plunged into a value when the driver reportedly lost control the vehicle rolled over several times before landing on its roof khania has recently launched a road safety campaign to tackle the large number of traffic accidents that have claimed more than two thousand lives this year. of germany's shift to renewable energy is not only costing tens of billions of euros it's also cluttering its countryside and there is a public storm brewing over the wind turbines springing up all over the country to meet the power shortfall people all over explains. germany's wind farms are spinning out of control that's according to a new generation of don quixote's who feel hung onto dry by

a lack of regulation on where windmills can be placed yes ruffles it's turned into a nightmare for us we came here fourteen years ago and there were just two small wind turbines two years later the reform team since then another sixteen have gone up we moved here for tranquility and they have taken that away from us one of the main problems for people living in this area is the she assignees of the new binds that overshadow their homes on or off going to from march until the end of july we have a constant flickering in our kitchens it's very unpleasant you don't even want to breakfast there germany has plans to increase the amount of energy drawn from the wind almost three fold over the coming years modern wind turbines are around two hundred meters tall that's roughly double the height of the statue of liberty and they're springing up all across the german countryside this is seen previously

nonpolitical people become activists trying to fight against a green energy lobby they feel is out of control and against turbines that they say are causing real damage to human health. these low frequency sounds are just constantly in your hands and you feel it throughout your entire body of all when i can fall asleep it wakes me up in the night as sometimes it feels like you can very easily have a comic most awesome playing i'm not going to take when they're going around it's like this permanent movement in my peripheral vision i work in this field and i understand that such movement as a real psychological effect on people it's not just that they're told and noisy these massive new neighbors are also having a huge effect on house prices rocco is trying to move away. from the to his house is being a fist sale for the last five years without success. just on i've already calculated

them into the all scheme price and if not cough the price off i've had around fifty people come and look but no takers there's no concrete low in germany restricting where when to buy ins can be built meaning in some cases they can spring up just two hundred fifty meter is from residential areas with a month of life. he can be like this forever i don't want to leave but these noises make me sick but there have been times that i've sat in front of my house and cry. those cries on the hood in the corydoras of power though all the major parties in the upcoming election all stressing their commitment continuing jim in his race towards renewables which means more windows peter all of the artsy german. op ed in our team x. and stacey expose the big corporations pushing for shale gas contracts despite environmental risks.

so the historic and for many americans tragic ruling in a bradley manning case just got a lot weirder because he has declared that he wants to live the rest of his life as a woman named chelsea well i'm glad his lawyer got him to keep this revelation to himself until the end of the trial but sadly he really should have pushed for him to keep quiet about this just a bit longer why you ask because if there is one thing i know about the mainstream media is that the second sex is involved everything else instantly becomes a distant second case in point what is the legacy of bill clinton is that the job. who are sure to nafta no is it a violent foreign policy throughout the world somewhat similar to bush's and obama's in locations like haiti somalia in the balkans etc no his legacy is based

on the least important sin he committed as a president cheating on his wife for the years couldn't wasn't office the lewinsky scandal just smothered everything else i am pretty sure that if i know the mainstream media they are going to use manning as gender confusion to overshadow and drown out everything else involved in the case but that's just my opinion.

that speaks. to. her currently. look. it's a good. thing we're. going to run a really. good.
