that. shonda at the summit america's call for unilateral strike on syria gets the cold shoulder from key world leaders as russia excuses the syrian rebels of trying to provoke military intervention. all u.s. lawmakers remain is split on whether to back the white house so more quiet with fears of an open ended conflict and potentially spiraling costs. and it's decision day as millions of australians are choose their next parliament the fugitive whistleblower julian assange among those seats in the senate.

with us from moscow this is our team here with me tom would say good to have you with us this morning. the global chorus of voices against a unilateral u.s. strike on syria has grown louder after the g. twenty summit in st petersburg even france which earlier backed unconditional u.s. action now says it will wait for the results of the un's probes into the alleged use of chemical weapons in syria the leaders of ten countries did agree with washington that some sort of action needs to be taken the british parliament prime minister also on the list despite being rebuffed by his own parliament russia score against intervention was strongly backed by six nations including economic heavyweights china and india but when it comes to voice of the people the u.s. find themselves to be outnumbered world leaders opposing the war represent nations of more than three billion people all the politicians in favor of a strike stand on the shoulders of less than a billion even in the u.s.

itself the latest polls show most americans i gave intervention while congress remains split over the volatile issue artie's a missile now it has more on the outcome of the g twenty summit i was elected to and were not strong u.s. military intervention in syria dominated talks that the g twenty but if obama was looking to gather overwhelming support at the summit he didn't get it in st petersburg you know me very. very slow villagers. we will not participate in military action. aside from france turkey and saudi arabia a few countries expressed outright support for obama's proposal of a military strike in a joint statement they condemned the use of chemical weapons blaming the office of government and called for some kind of response but they stopped short of backing a u.s.

attack on syria so mad host president putin accused the rebels of being behind a chemical weapons attack near damascus in august that he says was carried out to discredit syrian authorities in the eyes of the west just as. i view everything that happened with the so-called use of chemical weapons in syria as a provocation by the rebels who count on help from abroad from those countries that originally supported them that's the reason for this provocation i also want to remind you that the use of force against a sovereign state is acceptable only if it's done for self-defense and we know that syria hasn't attacked the u.s. and only if the un security council approves such action as one of the participants of our discussions on the issue put it yesterday those who do otherwise put themselves above the law. obama continues to insist also it was behind the attack and he won't wait for the u.n. and the assad regime's brazen use of chemical weapons isn't just

a syrian tragedy it's a threat to global peace and security the u.s. president is due to address the american public on tuesday and try to make his best argument for an attack on syria one that failed to convince global partners at the g. twenty. with the spike france promising to wait for a un conclusion on syria paris remains a strong supporter of america's calls for military action but a former french intelligence chief told us that both countries approach is trampling over international law. no personally i am against military intervention firstly it is a question of principle because it is a little bit like surgery in medicine an operation is the last solution and when you are putting a knife into a wound you don't know what is going to happen so it is first of all question of principle then there is the question of opportunity the western governments now have a habit of ignoring international regulations and the ruling of the un to make interventions

everywhere and to apply what was called in the nineteenth century as gunboat diplomacy a gunboat is a boat with guns is almost the same thing now except that missiles have replaced the gunboat i think we should not start the process the fact that we need to intervene on the soil of a sovereign state syria a member of the un declaring a war without a un resolution where is international law this means there is no international law the most reasonable thing to do is to stop the conflict we need to evaluate the military situation which might be complicated to do but the only way to stop the fighting is through dialogue it is not by launching bombs that will not stop the fighting it will only intensify it while the white house pushes for the cost of intervention has not been carefully weighed on capitol hill you see catherine of

reports on how the expense could only have gone lawmakers estimates. after careful deliberation i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets the obama administration is seeking to punish president bashar al assad's government for its alleged use of chemical weapons this while avoiding a messy intervention in the country's civil war it's now up to the u.s. congress to decide whether america will intervene we will either send a message to syria iran north korea has blockade or any other non-state actors at the world will not tolerate the senseless use of chemical weapons by anyone or we will choose to stand silent in the face of horrific human suffering we need to consider the consequences of not acting both military action and in action come at a price there are political costs diplomatic costs and of course human costs but what about the actual costs in dollars of intervening in syria well the answer

depends on the scope and the nature of the fight here's the u.s. secretary of state there will be no american boots on the ground. the president has made crystal clear we have no intention of assuming responsibility for syria's civil war ten years after the iraq war it's easy to see while there's little appetite for the risks and the costs that come along with a full scale invasion according to one think tank intervention involving on the ground forces in syria could require up to three hundred thousand troops and up to three hundred billion dollars a year instead the white house wants what it calls a limited action lawmakers are looking at a plan that would set a sixty day limit for launching military strikes with an option to extend the mission by thirty days the combat use of american troops on the ground is strictly prohibited the weapon of choice is likely to be pursued guided munitions tomahawk cruise missiles are one example now they were used in libya and have a range of nearly one thousand miles but they cost up to one point four million

dollars each the u.s. navy has four destroyers within the range of syrian targets each can carry up to ninety cruise missiles nuclear powered attack submarines can also fire tomahawks are likely to be in the mediterranean as well while the pentagon says it can absorb the costs of war by cruise missiles isn't cheap the libyan intervention cost u.s. taxpayers six hundred million dollars the first week alone now unlike libya there's been little talk of establishing a no fly zone over syria that option would dramatically escalate the price according to u.s. general martin dempsey a syrian no fly zone would cost five hundred million dollars to start and one billion per month just to maintain now without syria the pentagon is on pace to spend about five hundred seventy four billion dollars this year while officials say the military can't afford what's on the table now there is fear of an escalating commitment not to mention other unexpected outcomes that after all the bush administration predicted it would cost fifty to sixty billion to oust saddam hussein the final iraq war tab by at least one estimate six trillion bucks in

a war expectations don't always match reality this account for all of our t.v. moscow. coming up on our t.v. as new edward snowden disclosures i show how even though i'm crippled data isn't safe from the n.s.a. it's because this is why i lose commission on bridges says she wants to tackle the snooping through block wide north we'll tell you more about what she had to say. they were ready to do anything for their country to me is to love the country more than yourself if you join the military for any other reason that you're probably not going to have a good day they were tools in the hands of the state now they live remembering the past which is impossible to get rid of. the war. but oh ever

good people get hurt. hurt good people them to be silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there. because. i saw some people who. is cheaper than target. on our. emission free cretaceous and free. for charges free. range means free. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media on to our teeth on tom. ok.

i dave across. to ted you're all a virgin it's a little while in the middle of the chesapeake bay kind of a genius. a lack of black audi. a ramp a year all in the chesapeake bay probably one of the best there is an offensive fred. this is that your ten year island before the channel was cut oh here. they are. as go all. right here are some of the headstones from the graves it for you this is a fruits that's what we don't want happen to taint your all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like uppers did in other communities.

thanks for staying with us here on our t.v. millions of australians are voting for their next government with poll suggesting that opposition leader tony abbott his coalition is on course three and six years of labor controlled they're not the only ones running among them as the party of wiki leaks editor julian assange choose

a mean for senate seat the movement spearheaded by the siege of whistleblower promises to be to bring transparency accountability and justice to australia's parliament it's a mean towards letting the public oversee government practices as well as calls against corruption and pledges to provide people with a range of what it calls twenty first century freedoms that includes free flow of information internet liberty protection for whistleblowers national sovereignty and integrity in the global community let's bring in melbourne bass a lecturer i've been oid camp marco who is joining us on his primary running mate it's good to have you with us here on our team now tony abbott seems to be the front runner at the moment what would be considered a victory for the weekly leaks party. what would be considered a victory here would be having senatorial representation in the upper house so what a strain in its parliament it's what's called a bi cameral legislature where there is not a household of senate and

a lower house which is the house of representatives it looks like tony abbott will be the next prime minister a conservative government but even if that is the case it's imperative according to the weak links the upper house remain in the hands of smaller parties to prevent him having absolute control so that's one of the idea is that it's at stake here and so the recollects party would regard it as a considerable success to actually have. each state but it not at least wants to get across the line. so how do you assess the. chances of actually accomplishing that away anything really. this is a very good question because it's never been done before and because there are no figures and this no raw data on this it's you know we are essentially taking a stab at the darkest what might happen one can say though that there is a huge amount of enthusiasm for the idea if we can and

a lot of sympathy for julian the question is whether translates into political capital to translate into representation and on the ground there are many australians who are concerned about the way the information is used about the internet freedoms. are concerned about the way the executive has become so powerful the fact that parliament has been marginalized by a strong sector so these are things that figure strongly in the debates and i think it's something that i certainly hope later today will see evidence of that come through in the vote. the people of australia then be convinced to they'd hold seated to whistleblower. you know spend. time in the door an embassy in london is a good drive i mean then we need to have a taunts. he may well do i think one of the few logistical things to consider one is of course whether there is going to be enough presence there to get him across the line at the second thing is the legal process to see if you can come back to

australia which would be of course difficult but not in our. certainly make it more compelling a case to bring him back and the third thing is simple the options are exhausted. to the running mate in that sense that's what i hope will take place strains will have to be convinced that he is you know one of those individuals that like so much to lara can figure the person who's going to those authority and whether that translates across remains to be seen. given all of that i mean we know that our son still faces questioning. do you think i mean in the near future if he did want to see this political career would that impose any sort of. you know deadlock onto him pursued politics. not the sara lee i think a lot of the suspect is making an image a lot of it is based on the assumptions about what he has done there is

a formalized person a student with the street a case or still has not been. that recently british legal system has been changed in response to the european arrest warrants i would suggest the i'm told is a formal you know charge there are just. so this is just. speculation until it becomes more formalized so until it reaches that point he has a history of you know. you are not. given that right now the race is. a mile away from the leaders of the three the opposition and the ruling labor party would that sort of. what's the future for the party that. the main thing about to start history was made the moment the party was formed to create a political process of if you like a whistleblower group called wiki leaks your station which is the publishing.

itself the triumph of the moment was for itself it was a trial. people started to join and started coming together to. polling booths to come out with some presence of the ground that in itself is making history it will continue membership numbers are growing started this year and i actually do see it developing a more formal political structure of course. are and will have to be right there be no. expert on australia's international relations here on r.g.p. giving us his thoughts on the australian elections. even the computer information we thought we had encrypted was very radical the n.s.a. all bridges a g c h q it was snowden's latest leak or show that america's spy agencies spend billions of dollars in the past decade to break through protective

codes and get at the peoples of private data the european commission for justice fundamental rights and citizenship has spoken out on the n.s.a. is global snooping activities i do the brita all of us has more on what she had to say. the e.u. justice commissioner is spoken about the leaks from edward snowden as a wakeup call to europe and says that new legislation must be put in place to protect the privacy of e.u. citizens other stands up at the moment each of the twenty eight member states interprets the current framework in a different manner some of which contradict each other she wants to see a one continent one law system put in place but when it comes to debating what will be in that law she suggested that the united kingdom might not be a part of that saying that london's loyalties appear to lie elsewhere. i don't pay attention to britain anymore they're a lost cause they're acting only together with the americans and they absolutely

don't want to have european laws but in this case all we need for this vote is a simple majority and if they don't want to work together constructively we don't need them but i need france and i need germany if i want to do something concrete in europe. she also warned the u.k. about sitting on the sidelines when it comes to deciding what will be in this legislation saying that whether they like it although not the united kingdom is part of the european union and this law would affect them. once this proposal turns into a law everybody must follow it and that includes great britain whether they want to or not wants the majority decides the minority becomes irrelevant from a political point of view it is not an intelligent position to sit in the corner and complain it would be more intelligent to work with us and make their opinion count once the text is approved this becomes a law for all twenty eight states and more than five hundred million people. the

e.u. commission's remit doesn't allow it to deal with security services however what vivian reading is proposing is a law that would tackle companies which freely provide private information on citizens to those security services she's put forward legislation that would see a fine of around two percent of profit imposed upon those companies that give information of e.u. citizens over to security services. so when your it's useless tiger all you can do is to rule but not bite at this point we are too slow and i want to give us some bite so we can efficiently enforce our european laws. and one final point this law that's being put forward would affect any company doing business with you in the european union it doesn't matter if you are based in america you're based in japan or you're based in india if you do business in europe you would have to stick to this new legislation on privacy. to the director of the center for

investigative journalism at london city university he thinks is the sheer scale of the data harvesting that alarms people. it's been going on a long time people forget that in the seventy's. a spy system called echelon was uncovered over britain run by the united states what was different about that spying system in the present one is the sheer extent of it the major security companies that and social networking companies have opened their effective back doors to the n.s.a. even commercial confidentiality as an area of secrecy has been violated completely by this hoovering up of everything and so i think people are alarmed because they realize it will affect them personally it's not just political opponents but the possibility of blackmail is enormous some dissident a federal employee could easily sift this material find something terribly damaging and then use it for personal gain or political gain. it's been over one hundred

days this is president obama again a pleasure to release a eighteen prisoners from the notorious guantanamo bay the man that mostly yemeni nationals away appeared for release years ago. breaking the set at six thirty g.m.t. . the u.s. government's trusting in yemeni government to carry out drone strikes weekly it seems but they cannot trust the government to take prisoners from get now because they say oh they're going to be terrorists we can't trust to release them however many people have been released from guantanamo bay in the past and they are just living out normal lives they just want the chance to have a free life and not be detained indefinitely absolutely and that's one of the really sad aspects of this is because i feel like the vast majority of americans are under the impression still even after ten years that this facility has been open that these are the worst of the worst these guys are all terrorists they deserve to be there they deserve to be tortured or whatever first of all yes these people are being tortured secondly you half of these men are innocent there are no

charges against them. they have been for the most part being. for release in the vast majority of them are yemen and the problem is that there are no countries that are currently wanting to host these these prisoners because there's so much red tape associated with it here in the united states the united states promised the yemeni people that there would be facilities infrastructure there to help former guantanamo inmates reassembly into the society that infrastructure is yet to exist it's not there we've covered this on the show in the past we've had activists would have journalists that have traveled to yemen that have explained to us what it's like for people that are around these drone bombings and all these horrible things that are happening in yemen and on top of that. there's there's all there's the guantanamo aspect that these men will never return and will never see their families and that's it's heartbreaking and the p.t.s.d. of just these communities being terrorize our daily bases and also the people who are let out of prison being assimilated back into society after being indefinitely

detained for so long. and so it's a travesty and also it's not so black and white where it's either you're guilty or not there's layers of you know association with al qaeda there it's almost like a gang force. a look now at all of the world the main news the clashes have erupted in the egyptians to the exam they are between muslim brotherhood activists and for quarters backed interim government thousands of members of the islamist movement have been railing across the country demanding their reinstatement of the president mohamed morsi earlier reports in a state run newspaper claim to the leadership of planned to dissolve the brotherhood which officials deny. nigeria's ministry has raided an islamic incision camp in the north east in borno state killing around fifteen militants the operation was launched as a response to a suspected attack on the market which claimed fifteen lives government forces have

spent more than four years fighting boko haram rebels who demand the creation of an islamic state in the country. well then the hub of the century up to you to go gary and that became the first demand to travel beyond where it's at was going into space remains a maybe but it's not for another cosmonaut to call duty even is abandoned his twenty fifteen space mission swapping the chance of x. which are so adventurous for what he calls a more exciting job on the ground the stories that i teach. also on the line from sky high to deep down i will tell you how the u.s. is looking to expand its drone war say into the oceans with an unmanned craft called hydra set to stop the seats. up next imax and stacy grill some financial big fish and the latest reports.
