german intelligence shares obama's confidence that the assad regime was behind last month's alleged chemical attack in syria as washington continues building a case for military strike meanwhile in the u.k. . revelations that a british company with clients is a license to take full potential and not gas a chance if the think government can't they think tough questions if the how that was allowed to happen. president morsi will stand trial for inciting violence in the murder of protesters amid accusations from his supporters of the case is politically motivated.

to him in moscow i'm good to have you with us here on r t our top story nato has again said it won't take part in possible military action against the syrian government adding that if allies individually opt for intervention they will need to win wide public support first meanwhile the u.s. navy is continuing to step up its presence in the region ahead of the congressional vote on the issue for five u.s. destroyers loaded with missiles along with an amphibious assault ship are in the mediterranean and they've been joined by an aircraft carrier group that's now in the red sea to a support an attack on syria if ordered the super carrier u.s.s. nimitz one of the largest warships in the world at more than three hundred meters long powered by nuclear reactors it has ninety planes and helicopters aboard it's accompanied by five smaller warships armed with tomahawk cruise missiles and a letter to the u.n. syria has asked the world body to prevent a u.s. attack. meanwhile german intelligence has reportedly sided with the white house in blaming the assad regime for the alleged chemical attack in syria last month but like their u.s. counterparts germany's fies have failed to provide hard evidence details now from

peter all over in berlin. what we've seen in reported in is that the head of the german security services shindler held a meeting with top brass within the bundestag the main political movers and shakers to talk about what intelligence germany had regarding chemical attacks on syria now a lot of what's come out from this is stuff that we have heard before from other revelations from other countries particularly the united states that disregards the facts like the only according to this information only assad could have carried out these attacks due to the fact that only assad has the quit and the training in order to have his soldiers carry out such attacks also that they say that it was a sarin news nerve gas they base this on interceptions made on doctors who have treated patients in a site that the symptoms that those patients had were similar to those that you

would find of somebody who had been the victim of a sarin gas attack also they placed the number of dead from this this chemical attack in syria around the one thousand four hundred mark all of those type of things things that we've heard before what is interesting from this one is one bit of information that's come out regarding a intercepted telephone call reportedly between one senior hezbollah figure and somebody at the iranian embassy now called into the intercept it says that the hezbollah are official it said. lost his nerve and made a huge mistake by ordering this attack germany is playing a fine balancing act between keeping their american our ice happy by by showing support and not direction but also by trying to keep the german people happy we have an election coming up here in just a few weeks time and opinion inside germany has been predominantly anti involvement

in the syrian conflict this balancing act is something that the german government hasn't played. all too well on every occasion just last week we saw the the foreign minister. now he issued a statement through the foreign ministry in english in which he said germany will be among those calling for action to be taken well that statement lasted one hour before retraction was given they cited the fact that it was it was muddled in translation and a formal watered down version for all of germany stands was given which was a lot since they called the sequences only in the right type of. germany merkel indeed is playing a very very interesting balancing game between keeping her allies happy and keeping the german electorate happy of course ahead of that general election in just a few weeks' time. to discuss this further with a man walks in a writer a german journalist joining us live so it's been nearly two weeks since the alleged chemical attack happened and why do you think france and germany stayed silent

about their intelligence reports. this is one of the most interesting questions about this all and it all looks like a type of just in time delivery for the u.s. ministration we may not forget that barack obama and much more a little chunk carry on are starving for credibility in the syria case so they have the problem that not even their own population of even their their own political class is believing in this what is called evidence by the it was summarily can see the same in europe the general opinion is strongly critical against those allegations of chemical warfare by president assad in syria so will the us americans are starving for credibility and for this the german and i especially germany and the german secret service turned out to specially during the last weeks by this huge n.s.a. scandal to be type of branch of the u.

s. intelligence so it looks like the u.s. intelligence and the german intelligence delivered and this just in time. germany claims to have listened then though want to hezbollah and iran talking about assad losing his cool and ordering a chemical attack do you think that evidence is credible. it's deeply questionable that this evidence is credible we may not forget that we had a similar case in the year two thousand to two thousand free it was when it was about the iraq war and it was again the german secret service the b. and b. the same secret service we are talking now about who was delivering a so-called informant from the iraqi administration given the information of weapons of mass destruction and the b.n.p. delivery is to the americans and later on we know all of what happened colin powell crooked from that evidence and then to what we see almost the same parallel it's

now going on so i consider this deeply questionable and i think any everybody who knows about that history. in the credibility of this evidence do you think any well intelligence will make other countries reconsider and start backing france and the u.s. in a possible military action. maybe this is one of the most types of such reports now coming and i am deeply convinced that we will get within the next days maybe until the ninth of september and the us american congress is meeting again that we will have a lot of such evidence delivered to the us ordered by the us so we shouldn't wonder when those things come out and when we look again in the tapes or what the german use make us in this feed it was writing about those reports we see there is no evidence in it and the only theme what was special was this intercepted phone conversation between the his fellow fishel and that your indian embassy so

well and this is they were announcing with the big bang they have the evidence and it. is very little questionable thing so sorry to jump in but speaking of the us congress do you think that it would be convinced by this new information. that's also an interesting question i don't know i think all u.s. congressmen are right now a lot of lobby groups working so this might be a really really interesting meeting people facing but of course maybe congressman the who didn't make up their opinion right now it might be influenced by that of course are a german journalist my oxen a writer thanks for your time and here we are coming from berlin rely on the same circumstantial evidence that the white house cited as it tries to win congressional and public support for a strike on syria let's take a closer look at the case that's been built on so far. washington says it has intelligence reports implicating the assad regime but has refused to present so far

concrete evidence u.s. officials have instead pointed to some amateur footage posted online allegedly showing victims of the attack and confirm witness accounts being used as solid evidence by the u.s. and the latest claims from the state department revolve around samples from the war zone which they say confirm the use of chemical weapons moscow though has criticized washington for its quote inappropriate game of secrecy over the alleged chemical attack with us sort of using to refill the full extent of the evidence such as sean thomas has more on that. it seems that russia is proactively trying to get involved in coming up with a global solution on the problem of syrian fact agrees to send a lawmakers to the united states to meet with congress to discuss the situation on the ground in syria and saying that only through open dialogue and communication between these two countries where there has been pretty much a stalemate at the u.n. security council they can come up with a solution that is agreeable to both the united states and to russia and of course

to syria as well now this comes after sergey lavrov addressed students at moscow state university of foreign relations today being the first day of class and he started off with some broad general statements about the western position on the middle east saying that the policies are inconsistent and that there are double standards that exist but specifically speaking to the idea of the united states having evidence saying that it was the assad regime that used chemical weapons inside syria he said that it just does not pan out in fact he said there is no concrete evidence no locations were given no names were given no specifics of any kind and listen to his own words about what he had to say as 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 the big news also is that lavrov talked about the situation in march back

in aleppo where the russia believed that it was the syrian rebels that used chemical weapons that pointing to evidence that russian. experts had looked at saying that the ordinance that were used were not manufactured by any professional company a gas that was used was also not done on a professional grade suggesting that it was the rebels that used chemical weapons at that point in time then russia wanted a u.n. investigation but it seemed to what he says his western part. news on the u.n. security council didn't seem interested in investigating back then in march but now . reiterated russia's position and strongly is against intervention and putin now saying that perhaps as congress goes through a debate in the next coming weeks and the vote goes to congress russian lawmakers will be a part of that conversation as well it's been revealed that the british government to rubber stamp the export of chemicals which can be used to prepare the nerve

agent sarin to syria it's the same substance at the center of the alleged toxic gas attack last month near damascus licenses to sell the chemicals were granted to a u.k. based company although they were never actually delivered here's what the u.k. the department of business skills and innovation told r.t. about this they say the british firm was given the export license only after claiming the substances were to be used for civilian purposes not clear exactly who was to receive the shipments nor the name of the company which was set up to provide the compounds artie's saraf earth has more. business secretary vince cable certainly going to be facing some tough questions these revelations that the british government has granted export licenses to. as yet unnamed british company now this is for substances to be sent to syria and it was due to chilled substances and that was. and sodium fluoride in both these agents can be easily precursor chemicals in the manufacture of nerve gas or 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 but he's concerned anyway again about these suspected chemical weapons stockpiles a map of some of the suspected sites are 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 there are going to be questions tabled in parliament to 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 big accused of using on their own people who are granted with syria already in the midst of a civil war the looming threat of a u.s.

action against syrian regime targets but that's just another entry on a long list of daily concerns which already includes terror attacks not pains and killing. 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 like they 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. reporting from damascus in syria. and maria for a notion of war remain in damascus keeping an eye on developments in the country as it is facing possible western military intervention. still to come later in the program a thousand days in the life of julian i saw nj we'll look back at what the wiki leaks founder has been through as well as the possible prospects for his future plus. we report on why but if it concerns are forcing officials in the.
