this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. nato has again said it's not going to take part in possible military action against the syrian government adding that if allies individually opt for intervention there will need to win wide public support financed meanwhile america's navies continue to set up its presence in the region ahead of the congressional vote on the it comes as president obama called for strikes against axons government leaving the door open even though there's no eventual approval from lawmakers a nuclear powered aircraft carriers that are heading towards the red sea to support the anti-consumer if ordered it's accompanied by five smaller warships with

tomahawk cruise missiles the same kara group took part in the u.s. military operation in afghanistan there are currently five u.s. destroyers loaded with missiles in the mediterranean along with the end of fifty s assault ship in a letter to the un see where has the world body to prevent american aggression and she's more if a notion has been finding out how the escalation of the situation is affecting syrians. tomorrow next week next month series wondering if or when america's missiles will strike and what the aftermath will be but for many people here it doesn't pay to linger on what tomorrow will bring because the resolve ready award today. the how it's going on the you money we've been at war for two years with bombs falling in our hands just a few kilometers from here cruise missiles are endless war is the difference.

every day every hour every minute tween der bombardment we have bombs and terror attacks shelling it's not very hard to face america after dealing with the jobless for so long michel walid not his real name has a nice apartment in an upmarket area of damascus but a year ago he moved into the hotel his running for safety reasons after family member was kidnapped by what he says were members of an al qaeda linked group we don't feel safe of course not because of for. of. the strike we've got just at the last stop they are throwing these things against civilians and that's very bad and to have had a looser is considered to be one of the most successful and aggressive opposition forces promote in fundamental islam and proclaiming the end of the assad regime they have believed to hold several districts around damascus where they engage in almost daily battles with government troops both the u.n. and the u.s.

and others consider it a terrorist organization a treaty by saying that america should side because we are fighting terrorism america doesn't agree i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets that's just another entry on a long list of daily concerns which already includes terror attacks not pains and kill. those living in residential areas of damascus say several days ago they started receiving letters like this one advising them to clear their basements in preparation. for now no one i spoke to loot likely would follow the advice syrians may vote with their feet when the bombs start to fall but for now they've got plenty of other things to worry about. race nationality reported from damascus in syria. and for a lot of days follow all season area for national and twitter has been attempting

to find out how other countries in the region would respond to a u.s. strike on syria. would be and. it's been revealed that british from approved the sales of chemicals to syria which can be used to break these sarin nerve agent it was this substance allegedly used during last month's attack near damascus which is central to washington's case for military action licenses to sell the chemicals were granted to a u.k. company although they were never actually delivered on his son fatha domesticate. business secretary vince cable certainly going to be facing some tough questions over these revelations that the british government has granted export licenses as yet as yet unnamed british company now this was for substances to be sent to syria and it was due to so-called chilled use substances and that was potassium fluoride

and sodium fluoride and both these agents can be used as precursor chemicals in the manufacture of nerve gas and of those export licenses granted by the department for business innovation and skills it's reported in january the seventeenth and eighteenth and that license valid for six months in two thousand and twelve when the civil war in syria was already raging that huge concern anyway again about these suspected chemical weapons stockpiles a map of some of the suspected sites there of course huge concern about what the syrian government could potentially be doing with those chemical weapons but of course also that some of those sites could fall into the wrong hands if the situation gets ever more complex but it's thought here today there are going to be questions tabled in parliament really runs through and scrutinize exactly how these licenses for chemical agents that could be used in the types of weapons that

the syrian government a big accused of using on their own people who granted. russia's reported missing ending a reconnaissance trip to the mediterranean to gather information on their own conflicts moscow has hit out of the you asked for is inappropriate game of secrecy over their alleged chemical attack near damascus as the u.s. has been refusing to reveal the evidence it claims to possess thomas has more now on the reaction from russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. this is the first statement from the russian leadership after obama's speech on saturday and at first he made some broad sweeping statements about western policy in the middle east saying that it's inconsistent and that there are double standards but speaking on the idea of the united states having evidence that it was the assad regime used chemical weapons in syria he said that that evidence is not concrete it does not give specifics it does not give locations it does not talk about specific people or

places therefore russia is skeptical let's listen to what he had to say about that . because we believe we've seen these papers there is no evidence it's just accusations if you have read any super secret data well you need to remove the secrecy because we're talking about war and peace now one thing lavrov did talk about was the situation in the aleppo syria back in march where the russian government believes they have evidence that it was the syrian rebels the opposition that actually used chemical weapons that they pointed to the fact that the ordinance used to deliver sarin gas were not manufactured by mass and also that the gas itself was not industrially produced therefore pointing to the fact that it was the opposition that used chemicals at that time they wanted to have an investigation they were willing to cooperate they were ready to move forward and lavrov said that it was the western partners on the u.n.

security council that delayed they didn't seem interested in having an investigation at that time perhaps because it was the rebels that were in question here so today. reiterating russia's stance and strongly against the idea of western intervention their bomb administration has launched a full scale campaign trying to convince congress to support a military response on syria secretary of state john kerry insisted the case is building and will the belt. and he is or has been based on so far u.s. officials have cited unconfirmed evidence and also pointed to amateur footage posted online said to show victims of that even unconfirmed accounts by reported eyewitnesses are being used to build the evidence against the syrian government while the latest claims from the state department revolve around alleged song bills taken from the war which they sake of the use of chemical weapons however the u.n. investigation house and been completed yet and the body says it is the only one

which can determine credible evidence of a chemical attack that. the united nations mission is uniquely capable of a stop pushing in impartial and credible manner the facts of any use of chemical weapons space directly on evidence collected from the ground ok and if the us shared any of this evidence that is described with the u.n. well as we've repeatedly said member states are encouraged to share information information they may have with regards to alleged incidents. they were saying you need to know what's going on and and around and see where it is on our website go to also dot com follow live updates on the chemical weapons prices that. coming out for you later in the program within hours of explosion latest inspections raise asian levels have been devastated by nuclear plant in japan are eighteen times higher than just about

a week ago and also to count. whistleblower town rock star general songs has been in legal limbo for one thousand days but he's still got plenty of trains don't stay with me to find out about his. mom and a lot of these. people. pleasure

to have you with us here on our team today i'm sure. luk right on the scene liz the first tree limbs and i were being butchered. live on our reporters when they're in the instrument list. to be in the lead on the. line from moscow welcome back. an improvised bomb has exploded in egypt's capital injuring two people according to the state news agency no one has claimed

responsibility for that but the country has been grabbed by under arrest since the ouster of islamist president mohammed morsi intra why as an announced he will stand trial for inciting violence and the murder of protesters back in december along with other members of the muslim brotherhood the country's only bunged government has also ordered the new ruling assembly to review amendments to the constitution and for more we're now joined live by a min independent journalist and political analyst thank you very much indeed for joining us here on r.c. how legitimate are the charges against morsi and the muslim brotherhood. what muslim brotherhood supporters are telling us that these are trumped up charges that they're politically motivated but the government insists that muslim brotherhood leaders have incited violence indeed

a number of them have they've called for street protests which have led to clashes and a lot of bloodshed so. we have mixed reactions to the trials and the arrests of muslim brotherhood leaders here right and would be muslim brotherhood now on trial alongside mubarak and the military bank in power do you think egypt has actually moved anywhere since the revolution. actually what we see here is a return to pre-judge and you worried twenty eleven back to the mubarak police state. general sisi had promised this would be a democratic transition but we see tanks on the streets we see massacres we've had a number of massacres of islamist supporters of the ousted president. the closure of islamic channels and the arrest of muslim brotherhood leaders the return of the emergency law we have

a curfew in place. the return of state security so all this takes us back to the mubarak days and it looks like none of the goals of the january twentieth levon revolution have been met friday we saw a mixed crowd of protesters not just muslim brotherhood supporters but a lot of revolutionary activists demanding legitimacy and calling for the goals of the january revolution but so be muslim brotherhood is calling for more protests tomorrow the ouster of more senior to months ago will do you expect to see tomorrow will there be a mass turnout. what we've seen a lot of bloodshed a lot of violence and violence can only breed violence i see the only way out as recount silly ation as you know marginalize ation and isolation of the muslim

brotherhood can only lead to more protests and more violence so i think the only negotiations and that is the only way out of the political crisis right now. we see you know hundreds of. thousands of muslim brotherhood supporters islamists not just muslim brotherhood but other islamist groups and they cannot be left out of the political process this can only lead to deadlock and an impasse really. and also the brotherhood on has declined to take part in the panel to draw up a revised constitution why is that what you're saying. well they still are demanding a return to the sea and the reinstatement of the toppled president now of course we're not going to see that happen and i believe that there have to be concessions

on both sides the muslim brotherhood if it wants to survive this crisis has to make concessions and join the go see asians otherwise they will be left out in the cold and the government as well must reach out otherwise they would be making the very same mistake that morsi made when he isolated the liberal opposition. an independent journalist and political analyst thank you very much we appreciate it. radiation on japan's devastated nuclear plant is eighteen times higher than just over a week ago is believed to be enough to kill anyone exposed in just four hours new equipment on site detected the dangerous radiation levels around tanks which store toxic wolf the plants operates at tepco has come under a wave of criticism for its handling of the cleanup of the facility of damaged by a powerful earthquake and tsunami back in march twenty leben last month authorities

that's way leaks founder julian assange has spent the past one thousand days he's hoping to avoid extradition to sweden where he's wanted on sex for money and if he leaves the embassy and stops food on british soil who most likely be arrested immediately there were also fears that she could face charges in the u.s. because his side would build so much sounding information about how the country operates we can make spokesperson kristinn hrafnsson told us the outcome of the recent high profile whistleblower trial has been worried about saunders fate it is quite. transcript of the trial against chelsea manning and see what kind of arguments were raised there and how often we can use was not mentioned in the trial that there is a very strong possibility that the next target is julia sands and it might also already be an indictment against him and all the others in our organization we see

as well the escalating war against to those who commit the act of journalism and this is escalating from month to month the argument is this that bradley manning was the first whistle blower and he was history who has been. prosecuted and found guilty on the basis of espuelas journalists will come next could possibly be we could lose all the media organizations it's a real possibility and we know all about the on investigation in the u.s. into we could leave which has been now going on for three years and probably cost. quite a sum of money because it has been cited as one of the biggest criminal investigation in la times in the u.s. so it is a very worrying situation. maybe one of the most popular tourist destinations in the wild but the infamous i chewed of the french could be doing the country's

tourism trade harm so much so that in these dire economic times a drives been launched to get locals to smile and encourage travelers to spend more on their reports. smiling faces that belie a troubled economy with the number of job seekers rising to three point twenty eight million in july from the twenty seventh month in a row in a budget deficit the government can barely rein in france has been walking on eggshells since europe's economic crisis hit the very. is a small respite visiting the street dangers of more modern paris is a must for any tourist in the city francis clenches title of world's top destination it's one in twelve with eighty three million visitors and thirty three million in paris alone but the numbers may not be enough as the reality is not always up to a car with a dream the city of like known as much for its beauty as its unfriendliness at the

extreme end of it a few years ago dozens of japanese tourists were reported to have been struck with the so-called paris syndrome they were so madly affected by rude encounters that they had to be repatriated back to japan and the state of shock. very says beautiful it's wonderful but the reason they have to change there is because they rely on revenue from to emerge from other people that they're rude but i haven't had any reading counters myself i'm shocked at the behavior of some people who are supposed to be tourism professionals i won't get into details but really i'm shocked at the attitude they've given me. with tourism making up more than seven percent of the french gross domestic product tourist officials in the country's capital decided to attempt the naysayers claim is impossible giving those who work in the service industry to be more pleasant. and. a good thing was launched this summer in paris called do you speak truest guide for. drivers and

shopkeepers on how to behave towards their city's guests giving them country by country advice on what is expected from them. it is important for everyone involved in pounces economy to treat tourists better regardless of their nationality in order to make them want to come back and to spend. and that's precisely where france legs behind the competition despite being the number one destination the un world tourism organization found out that visitors to the u.s. spend twice as much as those who travel to france and thus the spike fewer people making the journey to the states that the loss of revenue is proving twice as costly as europe continues to struggle with a debt crisis that seriously endangering the french economy this paris taxi driver insists though that while the dream speak tourist is a good idea creating

a positive experience is not a one way street. first of all for us taxi drivers that are prosecutors who are very excuse me for saying so annoying. something they may simply have to accept with a smile if they want to hold on to one of its economic a says amid a slew of losing hands but it's important to remember the good manners costs nothing as france is learning bad manners maybe very pricey indeed does or sylvia r.t. paris. ryans after the break is all this for to escape to stay with us. many gay bars are starting to refuse to sell russian vodka as

a means of protesting the homosexual propaganda laws in russia as i've said before boycotts are a great way to put pressure on people but are they putting pressure on the right people not only is it racist to assume that hurting the vodka flow will deal a massive blow to the russian economy but it is also racist to think that any vodka with a russian sounding name is itself russian and many videos angry gay bartenders were pouring stolichnaya vodka which should be pronounced by the way onto the ground in a fury but if those bartenders would take a closer look at the labels they would see that exported stoli is produced and bold in latvia by the s.p.i. group not in russia also according to the n.p.t. group beverage alcohol report the most popular vodka in america with a russian sounding name is smirnoff which is british owned and produced and bottled in various countries around the globe including the usa itself we did support the american worker people of the panic over the hip and trendy scandal of the month but everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that homosexuality itself is legal in

russia and is punishable in many other countries including a death sentence in some of them and yet russia gets all the attention if people really wanted to effectively boycott any country with any laws even hinting against homosexuality they would have to hit them where it hurts and stop getting natural resources imported from countries like russia saudi arabia venezuela and iran and so on and so on that is a vastly more difficult proposition than pouring american made vodka onto the sidewalk but that's just my opinion. hello and thank you for joining me for the r.t.s. for show time kate fall church and coming up is our weekly roundup of support from russia and the cross the globe and here are the top stories. top transfer whales
