is why you should care only on the orgy dot com. washington's efforts to drum up support for an attack on syria are met with staunch international resistance with russia saying the syrian rebels used chemical weapons to provoke a foreign intervention. australia's opposition coalition sweeps to victory in a general election with most of the votes now in and among those hoping for a seat in the senate is wiki leaks founder julian assange. and the e.u. justice commissioner of course for a new europe wide privy seal after recent revelation revelations by edward snowden show a new front in the n.s.a.'s data trawling. good

evening welcome to the program we're watching r.t. coming she live from moscow. now u.s. secretary of state john kerry is on a european tour trying to gather support for an american strike against syria the foreign policy chief is agree that some form of action should be taken but a statement added that any decision still has to be made through the u.n. president obama has been having a hard time winning over backers for an armed intervention over the past two days he failed to get allies on board at the g. twenty summit in st petersburg artie's. was there. everyone is speculating. on the syria issue i went to the press this morning and the majority have been saying that if initial plan was to disrupt. the military intervention into syria then indeed. we do know of course

a lot of discord between the g twenty countries on whether a military strike against syria is needed and clearly the biggest concern was whether we'll have a meeting at all because officially they have no meeting scheduled something unprecedented for the president of the united states and russia but eventually according to. themselves they met for a twenty thirty minute friendly conversation during which of course they discussed syria indeed. the summit coming here he was hoping that he could persuade the countries of the need to attack syria that he would provide the substantial evidence of bashar al assad using chemical weapons against the rebels but clearly judging by what the russian president said on that matter it seems that obama failed on that sense. 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 but 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 u.n. security council approves such. as one of the participants or discussions on the issue put it yesterday those who do otherwise put themselves above the law still david cameron barack obama and. the french president they still try to play hardball saying that the u.n. security council decision may be overruled if they believe that again syria is needed russian president. this may generate a great feeling of here among the smaller countries obviously suggesting that bigger states may actually do whatever they want overruling the mandate of the united nations and it was obviously now that the g twenty summit is that it will enforce some several very interesting weeks to see how the future of syria will be

resolved. so after two days of tense discussions all obama managed to get was eleven nations signing off on a call for tougher action against syria but their statement stopped short of explicitly backing military intervention which is what the u.s. is demanding when it comes to popular opinion international poll showed strong opposition to any armed assault in the u.s. fifty six percent said no to any form of military intervention in syria and over sixty percent of french people are against military action whether or not their nation is involved the vast majority of those surveyed by the independent in the u.k. said any move must have the green light from the u.n. germany and syria's neighbor turkey also have plenty of those sharing similar sentiments the issue has sparked public protests in several countries against an assault on syria and you're seeing here some of the latest protests in the philippines and russia as well as earlier ones in london and paris washington and

new york celebrities in the u.s. have been speaking out against obama's plans as well a hand written note from a donor expressing her opposition to a military strike is there france has been the main power standing by the u.s. but president alone now says he wants to wait for a new u.n. for a u.n. report on possible chemical weapons use in syria first political analyst chris bambery told us why he thinks the u.s. is having an increasingly hard time rallying support ahead of a crucial congress vote next week. it's not just a question of syria it is a question of iran it's a question of his bar they're kind of painting a new axis of evil if you remember way back in two thousand and three after nine eleven the original axis and we've all know the present you new axis of evil and they're saying this is why we have to intervene in syria i have to say i think obama is leaving st petersburg with his tail between his legs the los angeles times

says he's going to go all the jews do to address what it calls a skeptical nation with an appeal for the public in america to rally behind a military strike but it seems to me that the public in america just as the public in britain is appalled to any strike and it's becoming more and more as of corporate weimar not just in st petersburg not just elsewhere internationally but even the whole know to win support for a case for a military strike on the basis of these allegations of chemical the chemical weapons use meanwhile syrian government forces are now battling to clear al-qaeda linked rebels from the ancient christian village of moola artie's marie if an ocean or saudi operation gathered pace in a remote mountainous stone that had been sheltered from the civil war until now. christian pilgrims from all over the world used to take this road it's general to one of them a significant trying and one of the mace telly places in syria its residents still

speak aramaic the language does christ is believed to have spoken we too are driving tomorrow. but for another reason on wednesday the central syrian village which had been and the few in syria the didn't see any violence since the crisis here started in two thousand and eleven was attacked by rebel forces most of them reportedly members of the nuestra the war came here. after a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint the militants of a radical islamist group considered terrorists by the un and us stormed. the iman tells us that this is the closest point and we cannot go any further we can see from our libya which problem here but the thing is that the militants who are still inside the people can see us as well there are snipers inside the group so it is really dangerous to go there the soldiers say that the militants mostly from don't

have the luther who took over the mountain top sufi the hotel and from time to time their firing from this so to take place and there are also militants behind these mountain taking the soldiers say up to fifteen hundred people what is the situation right now. the militants around three hundred people are hiding in severe hotel there are ancient caves there under the village they use them as well they're watching us and we're watching them but if we start moving they'll attack us. the soldiers show me the militants position islamists who are behind a number of violent killings and are believed to be the most aggressive force confronting president assad almost surrounded the christian village. where these people came from. they came from the city of homs in the north and from the city of

grain food in the south this village is like an island in a storming ocean day the last little i guess the army we visited my lunar last spring in a christian arland in a mostly moose the ocean the village was indeed unique and aside from the other we used to live in peace muslims and christians of course were afraid that people from outside the city and the country may come and destroy disunity and it seems the residents worst fears became a reality and why do you think the militants attack this village. they know that american missiles will not strike a unicycle site and the army will not dare hit it either it's a safe haven for them while we talk reinforcements arrive the syrian army plan an operation to clear malula from death had the initial rebels they have been rumors that they have left the village but the army say the militants are still there and even if they leave they can hide in nearby and return how do you think the

situation will change in case of american strike will the rebels the militants from the last three use this opportunity to advance further of course they will america is supporting terrorism in this country we've been fighting with the u.s. in fact for these two and a half years and now we can face them directly but we are ready for that we will not give up if america strikes series major military facilities will be targeted and destroyed no one can say what to war on the ground will look like but certainly things place will no longer look the same riff nationality reporting from syria. and you can follow maria on twitter where she is keeping track of that mission in and giving regular updates on the developments in syria right now she says there are reports of the syrian army finally entering the village.

the strategy is opposition has clinched a resoundingly big tree in the country's general election early results give a clear lead to conservative challenger tony abbott prompting the labor government to concede defeat after six years in power and among those running was the party of wiki leaks editor gina son jamie for a senate seat well earlier i spoke with artie's lindsay friends who told me about the songes chances in the race. he's got the power to pull votes away from other australian anti establishment parties such as family first's the pirate party and the sex party you heard that right those three opposition parties he has the power to to to get good tension away from them just with his name alone and also with his campaign because it's been very colorful hasn't yes it has absolutely his campaign for a seat in the senate as you mentioned has consisted mostly of social media blitz is

a virtual town hall meetings along with a mullet wig music video where the candidates recorded his own version of oz icon john farnham activism and i'm sure the voice of that you. didn't please the president of ecuador too much that this was shot in the ecuadorian embassy but that's another story altogether but i have been making some serious points to the haven't they that we can expect you know manifest they can you outline what they've been saying and absolutely now it was just established last month and it wants to bring transparency accountability and justice to australia's parliament by way of pushing for public oversight of government practices fighting corruption and providing people with a range of what it calls twenty first century freedoms and that includes the free flow of information internet liberty protection for whistleblowers national sovereignty and integrity in the global community which is as you can imagine a very tall order for any political party but also a very tall order if you does win if there's no chance and he does win you have to

get back to strike back and how is that going to be possible well if there's a lot of twists and turns that could take he's got plenty of federal agents after him but he's got to get to australia of course to to fill that seat if he were to make it and now we spoke with his running mate benoit kemp mark who told us that the responsibility for granting safe passage for him back to australia should fall on the shoulders of the australian government doesn't feel very good certainly it will be australian government to a lot of political figure who is being elected to the street in the largest leftist history and allow him to sit. in church. and it will be a public relations with the strain of government it would have to take very carefully if elected he would get ten months to make it back to australia before casual vacancy that would be created by his lack of attendance in this case the running mate we spoke with would then take his seat so if the tories voters do swing joining us on his way though and he does try to make

a dash to get home without help he will either end up in the senate or in the slammer. another whistleblower edward snowden is continuing to cause the stood his latest revelations a printed europe to take a stand against n.s.a. data trolling the justice commissioner is calling for a new llosa protect private data from prying eyes and we'll bring you the details in a couple of minutes after quite frankly. choose your language. of choice make it with no infertility. treatments that you can see. choose your pain use the great. choose the stories that if you. choose to accept.

i. i. cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. i. will. come back you have relations are still coming to

the n.s.a.'s online snooping according to the latest round of leaks from whistleblower edward snowden the u.s. has spent billions of dollars over the past decade to decode encrypted private data from e-mails to banking transactions working closely with british intelligence and the situation spreading alarm through you're with the youth justice commission and i'm calling for tough privacy laws to protect citizens. pater all of us as this report the justice commissioner is spoken about the leaks from edward snowden as a wake up 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 and 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

. yes 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 there are 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 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 knew 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 all dot the united kingdom is part of the european union and this law would affect them then the year. 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 because it'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 the e.u. 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 citizens over to security services as a venn and sand when you're it's useless tiger all you can do is to rule but not bite at this point we are toothless and i want to give us some bites so we can efficiently enforce our european laws yes i said and one final point this law that's been put forward would affect any come. we doing business with 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. and in the leaked documents the n.s.a. states it's go live gaining unrestricted access to cyberspace and it's the sheer scale of the data harvesting that has got people worried according to the director of the center for investigative journalism at london city university 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. social networking companies have opened their effective back doors to the n.s.a. even commercial confidentiality as an area of secrecy is provided 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 three months since president obama vowed to free eighty prisoners from guantanamo bay the man may say yemeni nationals had been cleared for release from the u.s. military facility in cuba several years ago abby martin investigates the issue when breaking the set you can see the full show at fifteen thirty g.m.t. but it is a quick text. the u.s. government's trusting him yemeni government to carry out drone strikes weekly it seems but they cannot trust the government to take prisoners from get him out 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 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 the 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 we've had 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. little later on and don't forget we've got plenty more stories on our website. called me including lying to lie detector this is easy is counting to three

now the number of american business executives implicated in fraud has soared over the past two decades according to a recent survey we have our financial guru max kaiser on the case that just two hours from now is a quick preview. 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 ads 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 and that's what it's all about breaking the law for law and order bring back then. bring it back. to.

the contra put a little later on after the break that investigates the hidden lines of the wives and mothers of militants in russia's north caucasus. many gay bars are starting to refuse to sell russian vodka as a means of protesting the homosexual propaganda laws in russia as i've said before boycotts are a great way to put pressure on people but are they putting pressure on the right people not only is it racist to assume that hurting the vodka flow will deal a massive blow to the russian economy but it is also racist to think that any vodka with a russian sounding name is itself russian and many videos angry gay bartenders were pouring stolichnaya vodka which should be pronounced by the way onto the ground in

a fury but if those bartenders would take a closer look at the labels they would see that exported stoli is produced in bold in latvia by the s.p.i. group not in russia also according to the n.p.t. group beverage alcohol report the most popular vodka in a mirror. with a russian sounding name is smeared off which is british owned and produced and bottled in various countries around the globe including the usa itself we did support the american worker people off the panic over the hip and trendy scandal of the month but everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that homosexuality itself is legal in russia and is punishable in many other countries including a death sentence in some of them and yet russia gets all the attention if people really wanted to effectively boycott any country with any laws even hinting against homosexuality they would have to hit them where it hurts and stop getting natural resources imported from countries like russia saudi arabia venezuela and iran and

so on and so on that is a vastly more difficult proposition than pouring american made vodka onto the sidewalk but that's just my opinion. well you know i beg you please your father and your brother all here on who would think of your wife and children think of your family. you know please come out i promise you that not a hair on your head will be harmed you would come out into the yard raise your hands take off your jacket and show them that you're not wearing a bomb belt or just walk slowly towards our people and let them search you do you understand me. please. a former minister of the republic of peels to his son yacoob who refuses to listen as his father urges him to surrender
