german intelligence shares president obama's confidence the assad regime was behind last month's alleged chemical attack in syria as washington continues building a case for a military strike while in the u.k. . instead a british company it was caught on today license to take full content gas agents to syria is that the government can't base think tough questions about how that was allowed to happen. in president morsi to stand trial for inciting violence in the murder of protesters amid accusations from his supporters that the case is politically motivated.

and in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story a german intelligence agencies 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 spies have failed to provide hard evidence or he's peter all reports from berlin. what we've seen in reported in the ago is that the head of the german security services guard 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 and they say that it was a sarin new nerve gas they base this on interceptions made on doctors who have treated patients and they cite that the symptoms that those patients had. similar to those that you would find of somebody who had been the victim of a sarin gas attack 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 and somebody at the iranian embassy now according to 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 allies 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 a retraction was given they cited the fact that it was it was muddled in translation and a far more watered down version of the germany stance was given which was. called the sequence is only in the right type of scenario so germany and angela 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. german journalist men well oxen writers says the country's intelligence services are actively working to support the allegations of american surveillance agencies. 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 and it'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 barack obama and much more a little chunk kerry on our being for credibility in the syria case so they have the problem that not even. even their own political class is believing in this what is called evidence by the u.s. and there you can see the same in europe the general opinion is strongly critical against those allegations of chemical warfare by president assad in syria allegations from berlin rely on the same kind of conclusions that were presented by the white house as it's trying to win congressional and public support for a strike on syria but let's take a look at what some of that case has been built on so far washington says it has intelligence reports implicating assad but it's refused to present concrete evidence so far u.s. officials have instead pointed to amateur footage posted online allegedly showing victims of the attack unconfirmed eyewitness accounts also being used as solid

evidence by the u.s. and the latest claims from the state department revolve around alleged samples from the war zone which they say confirm the use of chemical weapons moscow those criticized washington for its quote inappropriate game of secrecy over the alleged chemical attack with the u.s. store fusing to reveal the full extent of its evidence or he's shown thomas reports . again 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's 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 that was 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 point into evidence that russian. experts had looked at saying that the ordinance that were used were not manufactured by any professional company in the 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 partners 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. nato said

it's not going to take part in a possible military action against syria meanwhile the us navy is continuing to step up its presence in the region ahead of a congressional vote on the issue five u.s. destroyers loaded with missiles along with an amphibious assault ship in the mediterranean recently been joined by an aircraft carrier group now in the red sea to support the attack on syria if ordered the carrier u.s.s. nimitz one of the largest warships in the world at more than three hundred meters long it's powered by nuclear reactors and has ninety planes and helicopters aboard it's accompanied by five smaller craft armed with tomahawk cruise missiles meanwhile images have emerged on social media reporting to show u.s. servicemen speaking out against a looming strike on damascus people wearing military uniforms are seen posing in front of cameras with handwritten signs saying they didn't join up to fight alongside outside in syria the pictures can't be verified by the pentagon's reportedly already looking into the identities of those involved cordoned off a marine corps veteran says many u.s. troops are against supporting syrian rebels because of the extremists in their

ranks fifty to seventy percent of americans are clearly opposed to up. against syria and members of the military. particularly lost five thousand killed fighting the same groups in iraq that we are advocating that we support in syria so members of the military from either side in their clear divisions in the military both the left and the right none of them have any reason to want to support a syrian rebels president obama has got himself painted into a corner there is no way out of this parable the british government rubber stamp the export of chemicals which could be used to prepare the nerve agent sarin to syria the same substance at the center of the alleged toxic gas attack last month near damascus licenses to sell the chemicals granted to a u.k. based company although they were never actually delivered. here's what the u.k.'s department of business skills and innovation told r.t. about this they say the british firm was given the export license only after

claiming substances were going to be used for civilian purposes not clear who exactly was to get the shipments nor the name of the company that was set to send them or to sorry for reports business secretary vince cable certainly going to be facing some tough questions these revelations that the british government has granted export licenses as yet as yet unnamed british company now this is for substances to be sent to syria and it was due to tool use substances and that was seen for the right and sodium fluoride in both these agents can be easily precursor chemicals in the manufacture of nerve gas the things export license is granted by the department the business innovation and skills it supports in january the seventeenth and eighteenth and that license for six months in two thousand and twelve when the civil war in syria was already raging but he's concerned anyway

again about the 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 these sites could fall into the wrong hands if the situation gets ever more complex there are going to be questions tabled in parliament really runs through and scrutinize exactly how these licenses will chemical agents that could be in the types of weapons that the syrian government is being accused of using on their own people. with syria already and during a civil war the looming threat of u.s. firepower coming down on the country is just one more thing for them to worry about parties where if an ocean has been finding out how the threat of intervention is affecting people on the streets. 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 a war today. you know it's going on every day every hour every minute we endure bombardment we have bombs and terrorist attacks shelling it's not very hard to face america after dealing with the job its for so long. we've been as we were for two years with bombs falling in our hands just a few kilometers from here the cruise missiles are about as well is the difference with 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 a 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. of. the strike

we've got just at the last not they are throwing these things against civilians and that's very bad and 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 are 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 i see and they can shoot 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 they have no right to strike a country member in the united nations each syrian person who loves his country. he would never accept the obama to send one to attack that's just

another entry on the long list of daily concerns which already includes terror attacks pains and killings 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 looked like they would follow the 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 mary snow reporting from damascus in syria. and maria will remain in syria keeping an eye on developments there as it faces up to a possible military strike. still to come on the program a thousand days in the life of julia which we look back at the weekly expounder what he's been through as well as possible prospects for his future plus. coming up are you. we report on why financial concerns are forcing officials in the city of lights to start teaching the notoriously rude parisian service sector workers rules
