white house all war advocates give the hard sell to lawmakers on president obama's syria strike plan but pentagon's forced to backtrack on serious accusations against russia. and syria is likely to loom large over the g twenty summit in st petersburg where the world leaders split on how to solve the conflict and suspicious of the u.s. following the notorious surveillance scandal. making money by sacrificing your river see we keeping some reveals how tech firms are helping governments get inside your online life and better what they could and why strike it shows.

a very warm welcome to you if you're just joining us here on our t.v. you're with me tom would say let's take a look at the news of the sow the pentagon has had to move swiftly to clarify and in see dearie statement from defense chief chuck hagel that russia supplied chemical weapons to syria officials say hey girl was in fact referring to russian syrian military ties in general when he spoke at a congregational hearing along with the white house of colleagues he was trying to convince lawmakers of america's war plan against present our son who they chemical attack near damascus has already is marina but my. well the u.s. senate foreign relations committee has approved a resolution for the use of force against syria in a ten to seven vote with three republicans voting with the president this bill was passed now the draft sets

a sixty day deadline for use of military force in syria with one thirty day extension and it prohibits any troops on the ground now this bill will now go to the for full senate for debate in the meantime secretary of state john kerry secretary of defense chuck hagel and chairman of the joint chiefs general martin dempsey returned to congress wednesday to testify before the house foreign relations committee america's top diplomat john kerry warned us representatives that a lot of military action in syria could fuel extremist fighters secretary kerry said that if the u.s. doesn't strike syria countries funding the opposition like saudi arabia and qatar america's allies will begin giving more money to extremist fighters now going by this russia now this means that the u.s. must strike syria to prevent its own allies from strengthening radical rebels

if we fail to pass this those who are working with us today with the syrian opposition we've been working hard to keep them from funding bad elements or others and so if we back off we've failed to enforce our word here i promise you. that's the discipline we've put in place with respect to the moderate opposition verses that. will dissipate immediately and people resort to anybody they can find to help them accomplish their goal and we would have created more extremism and a greater problem down the road the u.s. president barack obama says that when it comes to the use of chemical weapons in syria he says it's not his credibility on the line he says it's the credibility of the international community that's on the line the u.s. leader said that he didn't set a red line that can't be crossed it's the world that set

a red line on the use of chemical weapons now of course president obama was referring to his own statements that were made a year ago when he said that if chemical weapons are moved or used within syria that's a red line that would be crossed and the u.s. would take action now it seems as though he's trying to take the heat off of himself off of his own words and put it on the international community during a joint press briefing in soft home with the prime minister of sweden president obama was invoking a list of international treaties as reasons to use force against damascus president obama while he was invoking those treaties also said that he feels very comfortable bypassing the u.n. security council and striking syria without a resolution increasingly what we're going to be confronted with are situations like syria in which we may not always have. a security council

that can act it may be paralyzed for a whole host of reasons i think it's important for us to get out of the habit in those circumstances obama's position has already left many critics wondering if the u.s. stance on syria undermines international law. gulf monarchies offering to bankroll america's bombing campaign against syria and even finance a full blown invasion failing that it's fear they will up with a support for al qaeda cells and desperation to be rid of president assad defense analyst and author ivan eland calls it an outrageous offer that's implicit blackmail and i don't really think it's you know really a conditional thing i think they'll probably do it anyway and i don't see how u.s. bombing would stop that in fact as i say it may cause the jihadists even more to be

more active in the war simply because the u.s. is attacking an islamic country they're actively trying to alter the situation on the battlefield against assad but on the other side you have all kyra and i think al qaeda may even be worse than assad and also we're slowly getting dragged into this war if you're trying not to get embroiled in a war because then you're implicitly taking one side over the other even more so than if you're just bombing them to say you shouldn't you have used chemical weapons and i think then you get a stake in the outcome of the war and there's no doubt the wrangling over syria will come up at the g twenty summit in st petersburg which will bring president bush in an obama face to face. moscow's bermondsey against any foreign interference into syria so even to you

without a u.n. mandate and a sustainable proof of chemical weapon use the air damascus and those polls are. expected to see no easy trip for president obama as well geez i see it as as he reports from russia's second city. well as much as everyone wants this to be a summit if you really focused on economic issues that as it has always been clearly that political overtones and statements are unavoidable in this case in the wake of the recent syria developments that the american president is expected to bring what he believes to be the prove of assad using chemical weapons in syria while the russian president will read to rate russia's stance on the issue which he has already outlined in an interview on wednesday that first of all there needs to be evidence substantial proof of the use of chemical weapons by one side or another for any strike to take place secondly that any strike should take place only on the . decision by the u.n.

security council which obviously hasn't happened yet and also adding more fuel to the fire here is the report by russian investigators of the chemical attack in aleppo in march this year when twenty six people were killed and russian investigators have found enough evidence to conclude that this attack was performed by this syrian rebels so this obviously is very little optimism and it's very little credibility to what obama is saying now obviously in the eyes of the russian president the russian president on his part of this said that obama still is a good listener and he's a good person to talk with these have been very good contacts with the american president but obviously this will be a rough ride for the american president here in st petersburg as my colleague from washington explains after president obama canceled bilateral talks with president putin over russia's decision to grant edward snowden asylum many thought it couldn't get a new word the two won't even talk to each other but the one house now says there will be an opportunity for the two leaders to meet on the margins of the g.

twenty summit so it looks like as much as washington wants to snub moscow president obama and putin will have to talk the u.s. is about to bypass the u.n. security council break international law and attack syria. we believe very strongly with high confidence that in fact chemical weapons were used and that mr assad was the source russia says america's we believe is not enough and that if there is credible evidence it has to be presented to the u.n. . the question of authorizing the use of force is being discussed by the congress and the senate but it is an absolute commonsense substitution in international law that congress and no country can sanction such and think what they're trying to authorize is aggression because everything outside the un security council is aggression and if this is truly an atrocity that the world has signed on to oppose

how come we're so alone president obama is expected to use the g twenty summit to rally a coalition for a strike against syria the u.n. chief in the meantime said he will use this summit to urge everyone to respect the international law we should not vote for the billet origination of the country and revitalize the search for a political settlement the g. twenty initially found it to deal with global economic issues will of course give a platform to world leaders who voiced their position on the crisis in syria but it will be here each other in washington i'm going to check out but it's not only the russian president that obama may have a conversation here in st petersburg also the brazilian president dilma rousseff feels greatly offended by the recent revelations of edward snowden that the n.s.a. were wiretapping the brazilian leader she's also coming here to st petersburg and she also has no official meetings with president obama moreover dilma rousseff said

that she would cancel her plans trip to washington next month unless president obama delivers a personal apology to the brazilian leader so this adds another sparkle to this already rather intense political summit definitely economic problems of the world will be discussed here we understand that almost two dozen different issues including the development of growing countries including the tax evasion tackling the problems of shadow banking and fighting corruption which we understand will be the priority of the summit all of those will be certainly discussed they are formally in the. and of this summit also we understand that many an informal summit of the brics organization will be held today during during thursday where the further foundations of the brics development bank something already discussed during the bric summit in durban this year that will be discussed as well certainly we here in st petersburg at the gorgeous constantino skip alice and will be bringing all the day all the details and all the updates life to all of us.

i had a we report on the tsunami find to have a flavor as a family name the granddaughter of aging icon nelson mandela sharing all the way to the bank as they go to turn fame into fortune the details on that and more world news in a couple of minutes. but how you would test the intentions of somebody and how would you know the internals of george w. bush one can launch that war on false pretext it's now recognized internationally that they never had weapons of mass destruction i think that sharing your point of view in any circumstance is a good thing so if you want to open up another country to a different sort of government or a different type of government or a different type of authority i think that being open minded in taking it in and perhaps there are better ways of doing it than through force like i just said being invasive but i think that's the open mindedness i guess.

i. so love again peace icon nelson mandela is back at home in johannesburg after an yes three month stint in hospital is still critically ill and getting round the clock care but rather to those of the father of the nation isn't finding ways to make money on the back of their famous name politico reports on the dash for cash that's dividing a family. as false reality t.v. shows go this one is right up there sibling rivalry feuds and family gossip but it's not any old family we're talking about here it's the mandela's it's clearly

not an arson one project it's a mandela family project madiba is very uncomfortable about his name or his image being associated with commercial projects so the question becomes where do you draw the line the reality show follows the lives of two of mandela's granddaughters as they spend and lose money on extravagant business ventures and go on wild shopping sprees it's a far cry from the humble background mandela grew up in all the grim reality facing millions of south africa's poor black citizens bus argument bella's children it's been made and they have a right to use it however they see fit and i think that he has paid his dues to society and i think his family who very often we don't mention the prize that they've had to pay to be without a father a husband and uncle who was behind bars all these years. and yet it's disgusted most south africans that while the icon lay for months in

a hospital bed many in his family were cashing in on his famous name two of mandela's daughters took him to court for his legacy it hurt him deeply and dragged the country's moral compass to a new low is absolutely an outrage that's why the i understand why they're doing it this a lot of money and after all rip you have the name i suppose you're free to mark what you kept the last remark but i think it's wrong is like the father of the ordination actually so all of these that i have pretty right now i'm not really sure if this is appropriate for people to be using this they've got a right to use the mandela name it is their family name you chemical fall in south africa without being reminded of the ninety five year old nobel laureate he is everywhere on t. shirts banknotes bookshelves smiling down from up above more than just a man he's become a global brand one that's estimated to be worth millions of dollars an extension of

a brand has to be almost more of the same it has to respect the qualities and the values about brand into all those other areas so it's a tricky area. nelson mandela is being stretched and tortured and pulled in different directions but for most south africans nothing can match the man himself who lived inside this house this is the mandela family home for weeks people have been leaving here flour was gifts and cards the crowds might have gone but their messages and hopes remaining graved on small stones it's a sad irony that the father of the nation who bought south africa back from an almost certain civil war has seen his own family descend into better fighting within itself policy r.t. johannesburg south africa. a quick look at some other international news now this is the roof of video footage showing radioactive water leaking from the fukushima nuclear plant in japan and it was recently revealed that contaminated water has

been spilling into the sea for the past two years since the earthquake and tsunami crippled the facility the government raised the alert level to syria's a threat and has allocated almost five hundred million dollars to tackle the problem. tens of thousands of teachers have marched in cities across mexico angry at a sweeping new law that will make their salaries and jobs dependent on assessing their standards the lodges really took place in the capitol where demonstrators streamed through the center blocking off major roads teachers claim that the law doesn't take the difficult work conditions into account and will be used by the authorities to say they're more easily. egypt's interim president has used his first interview in the job to defend the military's force used to topple mohamed morsy from power two months ago adly one suit also stood behind his government's decision to forcibly clear an opposition sit in last month when more

than six hundred people died this comment that come as the military quarter jailed an opposition for life and fifty others to fifteen years for attacking trees during why it's a local city of swears last month. a japanese transfer vehicle has successfully did to ash from the international space station filled with trash and the crew maneuvered it into position using a huge robotic arm before sending it back towards earth the ship originally brought to supply is the before being transformed into orbiting refuse collector is expected to burn up all the great entry over the pacific. at the mountain i looked into what could happen to the middle east if miss ol flood raining down on syria and breaking the threat that's next.

iraq afghanistan the balkans somalia haiti libya yemen and so on and so on the list of engagements and airstrikes by post cold war nato just keeps getting longer and now it looks like it's serious turn a lot of people have written me asking me to predict what is going to happen next which for me is a possible i'm not good at predicting the future but i can say is that we are living in a very tense moment in history many argue that the us economy with its unfathomable debt is really propped up by war and the petro dollar so if the us backs down here would could be the beginning of the end for the world's only hyper power but if they do attack syria there will probably be some sort of reaction from iran russia and china if you haven't noticed nato has been trying to encircled these nations and had russian internet conspiracy land a lot of people are saying that russia is next you see if there is no resistance in

syria then one by one all resistance to the un ending hunger of nato will be smashed out one by one the reason syria is so important and so scary is that you have one massive military force that could be very motivated to attack for its own self interest while you have a group of massive military forces how they voted to counterattack for their own self interests this is a very tense standoff that could lead to a major moment in history military history but that's just my opinion.

welcome to breaking the sets i'm abby on the wall and waiting on pins and needles to wait to see if u.s. and syria on the death toll resulting from america's previous middle east in this adventure continues to rise since yesterday when sixty seven iraqi citizens were killed after multiple car bombings tore through central baghdad and you know what most of you probably didn't even bat an eye that number because in the aftermath of america's imperialist experiment that's just a regular tuesday in iraq we're only four days into september and already one hundred sixty rockets have been killed by car bombs gun fire suicide bombers or i e d's according to iraq body count dot org and this past july the country saw its deadliest month since the height of u.s. occupation.
