which is why you should. only. shun dad the summit america's call for unilateral strike on syria gets the cold shoulder from q world leaders as russia accuses the syrian rebels of trying to provoke military intervention. it's decision day down and as millions of australians are choose their next parliament with fugitive whistleblower julian assange are wrong there is after a seat in the senate also. now the e.u.'s justice and rights commission now wants to strike and say the surveillance and with the. supernational legislation after the latest edward snowden leaks suggests there's no longer any data privacy online.

live from moscow you're watching r t with me to one would say it's good to have you company 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 back to unconditional u.s. action now says it will wait for the results of the un's probe into the alleged use of chemical weapons in syria a little over ten that countries did agree with washington that some sort of action needs to be taken the british prime minister also on the list this point been rebuffed by his own parliament russia's core against intervention was strongly backed by six nations including economic heavyweights china and india when it comes to the voice of the people the e.u. was finds itself a vastly outnumbered world leader praising the wall represent nations of more than . three million people while the politicians in favor of

a strike stand on the shoulder of less than a billion and even in the u.s. itself the latest polls show most americans are against intervention while congress there remains a split over the volatile issue our days and samoa has more on the outcome of the g twenty summit i was elected to end wars not start of 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 no military solution to see if. there is no military surge. 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 some of 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 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. is find france are promising to wait for u.n. conclusion on syria paris remains a strong supporter of america's call for military action but a former french intelligence chief told us both countries approaches trampling over international level. 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 as 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 war because of

intervention is not being carefully weighed on capitol hill doesn't have enough reports on how the expense could easily outgun low pay because this estimate. 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 and we will either send a message to syria or iran north korea has blockade and any other non-state actors of 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 of syria 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. r.t. moscow. right millions of australians are very keen for the next government with paul's suggestion that the opposition leader tony abbott's coalition is on course to end six years of labor control they're not the only ones running among them is the party of wiki leaks editor julian our son choose aiming for senate seat how the movement spearheaded by the fugitive whistleblower promises to bring transparency accountability and justice restrain parliament it's aiming towards letting the public see 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 include the free flow of information internet liberty protection for whistleblowers national sovereignty

and integrity in the global community julian assange is a primary running mate to benoit come. the party is setting a precedent just by taking part. it looks like tony abbott will be the next prime minister of conservative government but even if that is the case it's imperative according to the weak links party that the upper house remain in the hands of smaller parties to prevent him having absolute control so that's one of the id is that is at stake here and so that we can expect he would regard it as a considerable success to actually have a senator each state had it not at least one standard to get across the line the main thing about it it's that history was made the moment the party was formed creating as it were a political precedence of if you like a hacktivist or whistleblowing group called wiki leaks organization which itself was sort of publishing. in itself at the triumph of the moment was formed in itself

it was a triumph of the moment people started to join it and started coming together to. come up with some presence in the ground that in itself is making history it will continue their membership numbers are growing and it started this year and i actually do see it developing a more formal political structure in a due course. coming up on r t as new edward snowden disclosures that show how even all encrypted data isn't safe from the n.s.a. spy system spying they use a commission on privacy rules and says that she wants to tackle the snooping through the white noise we tell you more about that after the break. they are hunting down as terrorists they hide in the woods and prepare to become suicide bombers only their mothers still believe these young men can be saved.

no you've got to so fan. the mothers won't sleep at night they'll follow their sons into the woods find them and return them to a peaceful life where they killed almost everybody. had been able to take him away from maybe that was by chance. how does it feel to be a terrorist mother oh my god if you have even the slightest chance to come home. my son takes terrorist on o.t. . more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today.

the fact that. they didn't do the job the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked trying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once will just mark it on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. the rational debate and the real discussion critical issues facing them. ready to join the movement then walk into their.

lives right. first. and i think you're. going to. be in the. thanks for staying with us you're watching our team even the computer information we thought we had to encrypt it was no match for the prying eyes of the n.s.a. old britain's n.g.c. h.q. and with snowden's latest leak showed that america has spent billions of dollars in the past decade to break through protective codes to get

a people's private data the european commission for justice fundamental rights and a citizenship has spoken out on the n.s.a.'s global snooping. pit all of us has more on what he 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 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 acting only together with the americans and they absolutely don't want

to have european laws but in this case all we need so 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 knew germany if i want to do something concrete in europe often. 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 all not the united kingdom is part of the european union and this law would affect them then the year. once this proposal turns into law everybody must follow it and that includes great britain whether they want to or not what's the majority decides the minority becomes irrelevant from a political point of view this 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 because that's one of the text is approved this becomes a law for all twenty eight states and more than five hundred million people.

commissions remit doesn't allow it to deal with security services however what vivian reading is proposing is a law that would tackle companies which really 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 as a venn and sand when you're its users tiger all you can do is to rule but not bite at this point we are toothless and i want to give us some bytes so we can efficiently enforce. 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're 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. only

to the director of the center for investigative journalism at london city university and he things 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 spike 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 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

a hundred days this is president obama again a pledge to release prisoners from the notorious guantanamo bay the men mostly yemeni nationals released years ago i do that the mountain the issue in breaking the set just. the u.s. government's trusting them yemeni government to carry out drone strikes weekly it seems but they cannot trust the government to take prisoners from the get no 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 our 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 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 been cleared 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 that 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 into society that infrastructure is yet to exist it's not there we have 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 terrorized the daily bases and also the people who

are a lot. prison being assimilated back into society after being decimated team for so long. and says 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 for something. a look now at more of the world the main news this hour clashes erupted in the egyptian city alexandria between muslim brotherhood activists and supporters of the army backed interim government thousands of members of this lammas movement have been drilling across the country demanding the reinstatement of the our supplies and mohamed morsi earlier a report in a state run newspaper claimed the leadership planned to dissolve the brotherhood which officials deny. the nigeria's military has raided an islamic insurgent camp in the north eastern born of state killing around fifteen militants the operation was launched as a response to a sus suspected attack on

a 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 is more. free lunch time for lead de lay says a new multimillion dollar menu mission if stands for a lunar atmosphere and dust environmental explorer and sauce is to solve the mystery of moon dust which flows in offsetting life in atmosphere it's thought that better understanding of lunar conditions which are the most common in the solar system will boost our knowledge of other planetary bodies. more than a half of a century after you again became the first man to travel beyond earth's atmosphere going into space remains a dream job for many but it's not to be for another cause we're not called you read news abandoned his twenty fifteen space mission flopping the chance of extraterrestrial adventures of what he calls the most exciting job on the ground

the stories that are. also on line up from sky high to deep down we'll tell you how the u.s. is looking to expand its drone warfare into the oceans with an unmanned craft called the hydra set to stop the six. right to see. the. first strike. and i think that you're. on our reporters were very. instrumental. but some of america's highest paid c being fired oh being fined for fraud has spiked and dramatically in the last two decades this is according to a recent study on it at seven thirty am g.m.t.

our financial guru max kaiser takes a. yeah. i've explained this many times before a board of directors of any s. and p. five hundred company america today wants to see implicated in some crime committing malfeasance committing fraud subpoenaed or in jail because it shows initiative they want to push the edge they want to go that extra mile they want to break the law and then they want to throw to the justice department to say. eric holder can't catches. and then if they do get caught they change the law they modify the law they rewrite the law that's what it's all about breaking the law for law and order bring back the death penalty bring it back. yeah. well that's the one not to mention the next coming up we hear from the mothers who discover their sons have become terrorists and their attempts to reach and normal

life. 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 see 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 for. iran russia and china if you haven't noticed nato has been trying to encircled these nations and in 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.

it's technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future covered. the bible says many times that gold is the father of all forms. i'm sure he told me these children. straight from the orphanage that you know in times. my fellow. pastor. my dad is probably the kindest soul in the world. he can't abandon the child he knows that they wouldn't survive sylviane jurors to the end. dream can be summed up in just a few what's russia and the world with no wolf and weed i want any children to wake up in orphanages firmly believe that the parents out there every child space
