just outside pasco shot casings some of the world's best pilots flying some of the fastest planes on the. international news live from moscow this is the with me. hello and welcome to the program russia's president vladimir putin as a bronco bamma as a nobel peace prize holder to consider the future victims of any military action taken by america against syria he also directly questioned the use of chemical weapons by the regime of bashar al assad let's now hear more about what he had to say from thomas is now joining me now live from moscow with the details hi sean so the president had some strong words that didn't he please bring us up to speed

well certainly president vladimir putin was addressing the press in bloody vote. and he did have some strong words to say on the subject of syria he said that russia is of course against the use of chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction but in this particularly we need to wait and see for the u.n. to do their job for the investigation to come forward and that russia's position has always been then act in a lawful matter and as a global community now one of the things he says is that it is ridiculous that the assad regime used weapons chemical weapons against his own people saying that under these circumstances it just doesn't call for it let's listen to what he had to say on that subject. why syrian government forces are advancing in some areas they've surrounded the rebels to think that at such a time they would give a trump card to those calling for intervention. now as

the u.n. chemical weapons inspection team has just left syria we haven't heard anything back yet and he says that if the proof of chemical weapons has not yet been presented it means that there isn't any now the other thing is he spoke about his surprise about the british government who met over this past week to debate the idea of intervention in syria he said he was surprised that they voted down the idea but that it proves that there are sane rational people who are out there who are using common sense in this situation he also appealed to president obama not just as a president but as a peace nobel laureate basically saying look if weapons are used look at what it will do to the peace process let's listen to his words on that. ok let's not forget that barack obama is a nobel peace prize laureates response to the u.s. historically conflicts in various parts of the world that really solve many

problems afghanistan iraq libya is a new dimension to the now which is what the u.s. claim to try to bring your there's no civil peace or balance all of this needs to be taken into account before you know you wonder decision to start bombing syria which will lead to civilian casualties. expects a u.s. airstrike at any time a prudent urging restraint at this moment in time. thank you very much indeed for that thomas live from sound from moscow thank you very much again. u.n. chemical weapons are exposed are expected to present the results of the investigation into last week's use of deadly toxins in syria but the u.s. has made it clear the wild body's findings will not influence its intentions to a time of the syrian regime which it blames for the chemical entente that reportedly killed more than fourteen hundred civilians with an investigation expected with intervention i should say expected as early as this weekend the wider

international community remains unconvinced by america's claims as count reports while the obama administration is laying the groundwork for a military strike against syria but the president says he has not made the final decision if mr ation has spent the last few days scrambling an intelligence assessment that would make the case for an attack on syria today we finally saw that report the unclassified four page version of it secretary kerry presented the report with this take a listen the american intelligence community has high confidence high consulates this is common search this is evidence these are facts so the primary question is really no longer what do we know. the question is what are we we collectively what are we in the world going to do about it but if you read the paper you also come across this line our high confidence assessment is

the strongest position that the u.s. intelligence community can take short of confirmation so u.s. intelligence does not confirm the evidence that the white house says is undeniable as far as the evidence is concerned the report shows no evidence as such just conclusions then we have to bear in mind that this was the unclassified version of the report it mentions satellite images and intercepted communications with the paper's main argument seems to be this the assad government has huge stockpiles of chemical weapons they have the capacity to deliver them and therefore they were likely responsible for last week's attacks near damascus in the last few days several members of u.s. intelligence community spoke out on condition of anonymity saying the actual evidence that the u.s. has is not a slam dunk and there are caviar in the report related to the analysis of the satellite images and the intercepted communications also from secretary kerry's presentation it seems the main selling point for the strikes is the horrible horrible images that we've all seen the report refers to several times it refers to

the video seen the social media but they do not prove who carried out the attacks not only the american people are against an attack on syria but also the international community although secretary kerry talked about what he sees as a substantial international backing for for action whatever international backing he was talking about it's not the u.n. or whatever military action the u.s. takes eventually against syria it will be illegal under international law nato secretary general just said nato does not plan to participate in the military intervention in syria the un security council is yet to receive the results of the u.n. investigation but even that investigation will not reveal who is to blame for the horrific attacks that took place the inspectors only have a mandate to ascertain the use of chemical weapons but not by whom they were you just so the key question will still remain up in the air even as we receive the results of that investigation nonetheless the u.s. has already made its judgment. having failed to win over the most debates and how

shall allies and lawmakers on capitol hill the white house is also struggling to drum up popular support for intervention among the general public in the u.s. according to the latest polls more than half of all americans think the country should stay out of the syrian conflict altogether but only a fifth saying they support getting involved and even if the assad government is implicated in the use of chemical weapons only twenty nine percent of americans would actually back military action that some observers think foreign intervention is in fact being provoked by the desperate super and rebels are losing. the promise the president obama is making to the american people is that all the bleeding will be on the syrian side we will strike them we will bomb them we will drop cruise missiles but don't worry americans just stay shopping because we won't put boots on the ground there is just a euphemism for all the bleeding will be done on the other side unlike cameron who

had to take the case to the british parliament obama's doing everything to avoid even a basic good bait to get congressional authorization no debate whatsoever even george w. bush had to get congressional authorization before he launched his war of aggression this is the failure of democracy in america as obama goes on this reckless and dangerous corps who had an interest in the use of chemical weapons assad is winning the war his public backing the rebels cannot win without foreign intervention u.s. intervention in particular they know that it weapons are used that's a trigger to launch the western intervention the only way assad can lose would be if the west intervenes militarily so who use the chemical weapons clearly not the assad government they're not suicidal they were winning the war this is a staged provocation that's what we're witnessing. the livelihood of military is trying to surround syria has put its neighbors on higher alert and as he's going to slip reports some more it could be the current to list for a large scale regional war now the big concern of course is how will iran react we

have heard from iran that if damascus comes under fire it will regard this as an attack on its thirty fifth province the thinking is that iran could activate both hizbollah and the rainy and revolutionary guard corps it could get them to use the fighters to attack those countries who are supportive of a u.s. led military strike inside syria at the same time iran could also close the strait of hormuz now this would affect around twenty percent of the world's supply of petroleum the head of the rainy and revolutionary guard is also said that if damascus was to be attacked this would see and this is a direct quote the immediate attack and the immediate destruction of israel this is of course something that the israelis are taking seriously the official word from the israeli leadership is that they are not involved in anything inside syria but that they of course will respond and respond harshly if they come under attack the israeli army is calling up reservists at the same time the israeli army has

deployed the iron dome anti-missile defense system and other interceptors over the north of the country the public has been queuing up in the thousands at local post offices and other outlets to collect gas masks at the same time there have been emergency drills held at various schools and also the there are many who are actually carrying out their bomb shelters now for fear of any kind of strike on israel the jerusalem post is a daily newspaper inside israel and it is running with the headline keep calm but carry on at the moment the mood in the region is anything but keeping calm there is a growing sense that this conflict could result in an all out regional war. with so many players joining to the tongue gold conflict the u.s. and its allies might find themselves on the same side of the fence as those they've historically cold anime's as long as he's in this to say trick and reports

a major aspect that's close to impossible to prevent in the syrian crisis should it get even more chaotic and unpredictable with the u.s. and western outside military involvement the likelihood of empowering al qaeda already a very powerful force in the country experts left and right are warning that the west would be fighting alongside group members in syria who at home are seen as its own main enemy in the war on terror the opposition in syria is far from unified political force al qaeda members form a large chunk of this opposition attempting to get assad to step down concerns were high before that western ammunition would end up in the wrong hands because there's no way to selectively support one part of those against assad's government and not another the fear now is that u.s. and western military escapades would in force not just a vague opposition it sees as the good guy but the al qaeda members that make it up by the thousands mainly the front considered the most violent element in the opposition which experts label a rebranded iraq in syria its numbers on the ground are estimated to be at around

six to ten thousand fighters the larger extent of us presence in the country in terms of specific numbers is not known but its presence and influence in the future of the country cannot be diminished if historical lessons are remembered this is already reminiscent of the old two painful experiences we've seen before prior to western involvement in iraq in libya for instance insurgency it ran rampant but a peek at us presence walked hand in hand with foreign participation bringing the long terror suicide bombings and even greater chaos to those regions. and let us know what you think a military intervention in syria would resulted log on to dot com and take part in our latest poll let's now take a look at the numbers right now so far the majority of you predict a catastrophic region including israel and iran almost i think of those who thought those who voted for see a levy like scenario with years of violence and an islamic insurgency

a few less don't believe washington will attack syria on its own while only a handful accept that obama's claim that the strike will be short and sharp and merely aimed at teaching its cigarette a lesson to go to alter dot com and cast about that. britain has asked the new york times to get rid of copies of documents leaked by whistleblower edward snowden says another u.s. newspaper revealed from one of the top secret files just how much america spends on surveillance so-called blood budget has never been shown to the public until now the classified data shows the house plunged off more than fifty two billion dollars on intelligence gathering this year alone the cia god the lion's share more than fourteen billion dollars significantly more than the n.s.a. or any other agency the national reconnaissance office and the spatial and jail defense intelligence programs also came near the top of the money a league together they got nineteen point six billion dollars to operate imaging

satellites draw maps and assess foreign military plans and resources meanwhile snowden's leaks how one him international recognition he was awarded the twenty eight thirteen whistleblower prize by a coalition of n.g.o.s and as peter all of a in berlin says snowden's name is featuring prominently in germany's upcoming election. well he's certainly not on the christmas card list of the german government as it stands at the moment these leaked documents that he's he's put forward really rather damning on the german government and just how complicit it seems that the b. and d. the german security services were in terms of spying not only to help the n.s.a. but spying impact on their own people here in germany when edward snowden released these documents one of the things i'm sure he didn't think he would be was a major issue in the german elections the that's on the twenty second of september the general election here and it's become one of the main the only real issue that

people seem to be attacking anglo merkel over. the leader of the social democrats her main challenger in this election it said if he becomes chancellor if he wins this election then he will be asking some serious questions of the united states and he also be looking into delaying an important trade deal saying how can we possibly look at doing trade with the americans when we don't know if they have microphones under all of our desks so this has become something that the politicians are looking to attack and glimmer cologne it's probably one of the only things she's really weak on in the public eye because not only it seems to allow the united states to spy on germany but it seems that she also helped the united states to spy on germany so this is one of the reasons why edward snowden has received this award and he is being honored with this by a number of groups for his work in revealing what turns out to be the the wide ranging spying activities of the n.s.a.

and the united states. this is our sea and so to come this hour no homes in five years that london's mayor came to power promising to help the citizens rather sleep is the station provide a route for wrong remains a fun thing i report on that and that thing is interesting moment. mother. the amount. of this it was terrible to say now i'm very sorry to take the lead once again the among the club has never had sex with the perfect

place let's. just say. lists and lists let's just say. it's. this is us here live from moscow welcome back choreography and synchronized moves to may the bolshoi's directed jealous the marks twenty thousand and show is providing the stage for the state of the os x. craft and daring pilots thousands are enjoying a second day of arrow boss six just outside moscow among the headliners are

russia's most advanced of his generation flight attract the fifth the t fifty and the burka to team pilots who work wonders with a squadron of helicopters and we are watching live pictures from right now. but it's not only magnificent men and their flying machines at the shop. it's not the size of the engine that matters it's how you use what you've got that's what the pilots of first flight rushes only aerobatics team using propeller planes say no jet engines here no mach two or eject buttons just good old fashioned pistons and plenty of guts at air shows like max b.'s pilots may no longer be the main attraction but propeller planes were the first to take on aerobatics and they plan to stick around. a main goal is to show everyone how beautiful flying can be and to demonstrate the potential of these planes and

popularize sports and aerobatics though these planes may not be so big and powerful they have great potential. reminiscent of the barnstormers of the one nine hundred twenty s. in america this team's planes are equipped with smoke systems that we've patterns in the skies piloting on a stunt team is still a man's world but irina mark over is one russian woman breaking that mold. people often ask me how i feel different from the male pilot but i just assume that flying planes makes us the same i feel complete freedom in the skies it is believed there are six degrees of freedom but in reality it seems to be much more out there that is how free you feel making it look easy is part of the job and world champion aerobatics pilot. insists that means his mood has to be put to one side when he takes the controls. the most important thing when you do a great flight is to follow the guidelines and express your emotions be they sad or

happy only after you land and turn off the engine during the flight you have to be calm focus on performing the elements flawlessly and stay safe so if you is going to have fun. of course just watching isn't enough so off i went in a bright shiny yak fifty two with irina at the controls and a leisurely two hundred kilometer per hour cruising speed it was clear that for the pilots it's more about finesse than g. force lindsey france r t moscow. team or footage of the headline is the forming for your knowledge channel and also you can head over to the in motion section of our website you know what it's like to be on a testing range during an intense exercise as you can see in this clip play being three steep hills or deep waters is no challenge for these machines. properly t.v. is the place to go online if you want to buy here.

call me if only these creatures knew how to run for cover the u.s. navy has openly admitted it's set to commit a whale and dolphin maseko right off america's cause learn about this new type of collateral damage on a website. made grandiose promises to provide to refill the schools of homeless people strolling the comfortable streets but statistics suggest he's done little to follow through on his pledges as all he ses reports. the charity nightwatch head out on their nightly run distributing food to london. no one knows exactly how many people are homeless in the capital but one thing that's agreed upon and that's that the numbers are increasing it's gone up from thirty people to fifty sixty seventy.

you can see a large number of people have gathered here to use night what is really. more all of the people who are here. but a number of them are when london mayor boris johnson came to office in two thousand and eight he pledged to end rusty paying by thousand and twelve not only did he not hit that target but rust leaping numbers have increased every year he's been in office in london and promised to be eradicate the thing by fencing. yeah. it's very difficult. although it is. a problem. to database change shows a rise from three thousand four hundred seventy two people when the mayor came to power to six thousand four hundred thirty seven sleeping rough last year but the mayor's office insists it's not all bad news and the increase in numbers isn't party to an increase in funding longer hours on the streets rat reach teams mean

more people than ever before being identified and now eight out of ten new sleepers will only spend twenty four hours on the street yet despite the increase in funding many of the people here have been sleeping rough for months. on the street. that doesn't have. a lot of them are problems before. the council. do you think about going to the police from your own in the middle of the mines. twenty two year old silas doesn't want his face shown he tells us he often sleeps in a car park nearby it's a complex story silas tells us that he has had some contact with outreach groups operating in the area but he hasn't yet got benefits and therefore can't get into

council accommodation. through. the local outreach team have told us that they're looking into silas's case here's just one of thousands of the homeless in the capital this is the face of london's homeless in twenty thirteen and it seems it's an increasingly young one so arty london. that's now turned wild update and just a warning you might find some of the images in our first story disturbing and aid to bus drivers and power and why are protesting against low wages by nailing themselves to crosses the man have been lying on planks of wood for twenty days now some of their wives have joined them the drivers were fired two months ago and are vowing to continue until they get their drugs back the bus company said it's willing to rehire five of them but the demonstrators want all eight reinstated. a suicide bomb blasts have killed at least six people and wounded more than twenty

others in southern afghanistan the explosion was near a police checkpoint the bank with most of the victims civilians this comes after twelve people including a district chief died on friday in the north as they were leaving and the moral service for a tribal leader afghanistan is saying a certain time i had of the twenty four team mates who was strong. and up next we had to washington d.c. studio breaking the set with him. so the historic and for many americans tragic ruling in the 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 it the job murderer who are sure to nafta no is it a violent foreign policy throughout the world somewhat similar to bush's and obama's of 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 was in 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's gender confusion to overshadow and drown out everything else involved in the case but that's just my opinion.

to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so. i miss family and at such times i know that i'm still the same really messed up. in the old story so actually. it's. the worst you're going through the white house or the. radio for a minute. what you will hear about a good cause you've never seen anything like this i'm told. what's going on everyone i'm having martin and this is a break in the set so we have a packed show for you guys today i'll be speaking to governor howard dean and economist richard wolffe about everything from health care to drones to reg anomic

stick around and let's break the set. of the total. have you ever seen anything like. today i had the chance to speak to former governor of vermont howard dean on the very few politicians who actually opposed the iraq war in two thousand and three is opposite came a defining factor for his presidential run the following year and although this may have helped him become the initial front runner he didn't ultimately receive the nomination instead he went on to chair the democratic national committee and although he's been on the political sidelines for the last few years his views have not been governor dean has been vocal on everything from the healthcare debate to the use of drones that's exactly what we talked about earlier in an exclusive interview take a look. so who could forget and i'm sure you've heard this a million times you probably don't hear it again but who could forget the signifying moment of the two.
