i'm convinced it's nothing more than a provocation from those who want to involve other countries in the syrian conflict the russian president blocks the u. outspoken suturing military action in syria saying the evidence and sounds to blame has no leg to stand on. intervention plans are leaving president obama isolated with america's allies in nato rejecting support of the campaign against assad but despite that yet another destroyer has joined america's warships in the region. and u.n. inspectors arrived in the netherlands after completing bad bets to gauge at the site of the alleged chemical attack near damascus with lots of love walk ahead of.

international news live from moscow this results he was made thanks for joining us russian president vladimir putin has hit out at the allegations that assad's government carried out a chemical attack against its own people warning the u.s. against military intervention he also added washington's claims to full intelligence report providing firm evidence cannot be published disrespectful so its international partners thomas has more now on russia's reaction to the you as a drum so what. president vladimir putin was addressing the press in vladivostok 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 case we need to wait and see for the u.n. to do their job for the investigation to come forward and as russia's position has

always been then act in a lawful matter 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. syrian government forces are advancing in some areas they have surrounded the rebels to think that in such a time they would give a trump card for 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 you're 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. let's not forget that barack obama is nobel peace prize laureate of the past decade the u.s. has started several conflicts in various parts of the world but did that really solve any problems afghanistan iraq libya there's no democracy there now which is what the u.s. claimed it tried to bring this new civil peace or balance all of these has to be taken into account before making the decision to stop bombing syria which will lead to civilian casualties so as the world expects a u.s. air strike at any time a prudent urging restraint at this moment in time meanwhile the u.n. chief death and wanted military action in syria until his chemical weapons

inspectors present that findings to the security council they've just returned from that trip and you're seeing the very latest pictures of that plane touching down and wrote it down a full report of the inspectors findings could take a couple of weeks but washington wants to make a decision on syria faster than that but much of the world projects the plan for us in intervention next check out reports. well the obama administration is laying the groundwork for a military strike against syria but the president says he has not made the final decision the administration 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 on classified four page version of it secretary kerry presented the report with this take a listen the american intelligence community has high confidence high confidence this is common sense 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 and 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 the 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 put his faith in the military intervention in syria the u.n. 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 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. and secretary of state. he and president obama believe a military strike on syria needs to be discounted directly with the american people fast let's now take a look at all the u.s. public thinks about it overhauls of those americans who took part in a reuters poll don't want intervention in syria at all only twenty percent are in favor of it asked whether assad should bear tunks if his implicated in chemical weapons use just under thirty percent of americans said yes they were just parliament wasn't convinced that a strike on syria should happen and labor m.p. mahmood told us why you voted against the move. i don't think america or anybody

else has that intelligence to say exactly who it was we know that the syrian government does have stockpiles of chemical weapons but unless we have a clear. direct intelligence to relate to who's done it we can't just just be pointing fingers we loved this before when there was the weapon of mass destruction destruction debate and the presentation in the united nations by colin powell and we knew that didn't come to be true so we have a very very skeptical of any form of this sort of intelligence that comes out unless the there is substantial proof on it military action is not going to be a resolution in syria it hasn't been anywhere else so let's let's change the script let's change what's been going on before because we're talking about bloodshed now if this is allowed to take its course there'd be far greater bloodshed. artes on facebook and here are your responses to obama's plans to attack syria some

of you are calling for an impeachment of the us president and many others aren't convinced that obama is acting in the best interests of either the american or the syrian people during the debate addresses facebook dot com slash r.t. news. and here's taxpayers shelled out more than one hundred million dollars for non-lethal aid to the syrian rebels the opposition includes al qaeda linked groups too so america's intervention in syria might mean the u.s. will be helping someone they consider their sworn enemy and a sitter can explain. 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 namely the front considered the most violent elements in the opposition which experts label 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 ran rampant but

a peak in presence walked hand in hand with foreign participation bringing along terror suicide bombings and even greater chaos to those regions. on a line as well we're closely following international tensions burning to syria as well as the situation on the ground had to live updates. and also on our website to go seven months assessment on the use of chemical weapons in syria you can read it closer and try to find it when i was high confidence of assad's guilt is coming from. the same. first. and i think that you're. going to. be in.

the u.k. government is pressing the new york times to destroy the documents leaked by an essay whistleblower edward snowden the sensitive materials on this snooping exhibitions of the us and britain made its way to the american daily newspaper from the u.k.'s guardian which was forced to obliterate the hard drives containing the leaks files however snowden's revelations have still been making their way to the public and here's the latest exposure apparently the u.s. has been spending more than fifty two billion dollars or intelligence gathering this year alone the cia galled the lion's share of more than fourteen billion dollars significantly more than the n.s.a. or any other agency the national reconnaissance office and they do spatial and general defense intelligence programs also came near the top of the money a league to gather they got nineteen point six billion dollars to operate imaging satellites draw maps and assess foreign military plans and resources meanwhile

snowden's leaks have won him international recognition has been awarded the twenty says whistleblower prize by a coalition of n.g.o.s and as aussies peter all of a. of course snowden's been stealing the show in germany is genuine lections right . but 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 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 unglue 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 on 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. now buckle up because of right after the break as the model show ponder the stunt checked out some of the culture is dead devils to brave the

out on their nightly run distributing food to london's homeless 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 a night to fifty sixty seventy. you can see a large number of people have gathered here to use night watches. nor all of the people who are here roughly but a number of them are when london mayor boris johnson came to office in two thousand and eight he pledged to end rusty playing 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 a londoner promised to be eradicate the sleeping by frantic. yeah. it's very difficult. although it's more time avoiding a problem people are doing anything about paris 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 street reach teams mean more people than ever before a big identified and now eight out of ten new rough sleepers will only spend twenty four hours on the streets. yet despite the increase in funding many of the people here have been sleeping rough for months. on the street and then you're going from . here for months you know. a lot of them are problems of hostiles before. enough to leave the council police and. get the police from your own in the middle of the mines.

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 us 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 murderer 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. ok. dave across it welcome you to take virginia it's a little while in the middle of the chesapeake bay and of virginia. and i come back . around page here all of the chesapeake bay probably is one of the best there is in the focus so for it. this is an old picture of your island before the channel was. way up there. as bill. right here are some of the headstones from the graves that for europe this is
