washington's efforts to drum up support for an attack on syria international resistance and russia saying that rebels used chemical weapons to provoke a foreign intervention. straight as conservative opposition sweeps to tony abbott set to take the reins for in the general election. as one of those hoping for a senate seat. and thousands protest in berlin following the latest revelations on america's efforts to break open encrypted online data the concerns voiced the german government's reaction.

on air and online twenty four hours a day you're watching out. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is set off on a european tour in attempt to gather support for american strike against syria meanwhile the e.u.'s foreign policy chief has agreed that some form of action should be taken to specify that any decision should be made with u.n. agreement president obama hasn't had much success in enlisting backers for an armed intervention in the past two days he failed to get full scale support of the g twenty summit in st petersburg however he did manage to get eleven nations supporting a call for tougher action against syria but this statement stopped short of explicitly approving military intervention which is what the u.s. is demanding international opinion polls also show strong opposition to any armed assault in the u.s. fifty six percent said no to any form of military action in syria and more than

sixty percent of french people are against it the vast majority of those surveyed in the u.k. said any move must have the green light from the u.n. was similar sentiment shared in germany in turkey. well g. twenty nations that were against agreement account for some three billion people and it seems many in the rest of the world also don't want to see the u.s. progress with its plan well meanwhile protests have been held in several countries against an assault on syria and we have some pictures from around the world now on that the antiwar sentiment is being felt in washington with the crowd outside the white house sending a message to congress but also similar rallies in new york and on the other side of the atlantic in london and paris tens of thousands of people gathered that sent peter's square in the vatican for peace vigil making it one of the largest rallies against the proposed military strike and celebrities have been speaking out against

right plans and handwritten notes from madonna here expressing her opposition to american involvement lottie's alexia share skee has been in some petersburg following the meetings of the g. twenty leaders. everyone is speculating. on the syria issue i went to the press this morning and the majority have been saying that. initial plan was to disrupt. 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 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 action as one of the participants of our discussions on the issue put it 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. he's needed russian president. raids 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 in the us obviously now that the g twenty summit is done we're in for some several very interesting weeks just see how the future of syria will be resolved. somewhat like of support for the u.s. led initiative on attacking syria when a van dam is a belgian based journalist who's been closely following developments in the country he says that even nations are wary of empowering radical elements in the syrian opposition if they decide to support an american operation. but witnessing remarkable moments remarkable. international politics on the scene for a british fallen meant to oppose the united states in

a very crucial matter in syria or not we see other countries saying oh we can only do something militarily when the united nations a great many people see the united states is siding with geologists who are creating problems in europe small problem compared to the middle east but they were creating already problems with terror attacks and so on german trains the attempt of united states to install islamists so everywhere in the middle east in egypt into easy iraq in syria so. it's contradictory to what europe should want. i mean while the ancient christian village of manu there in the northwest of syria continues to be caught in the crossfire as government forces attempt to squeeze out our kiting rebels parties where for national venture there to find out how the army operations progressing. christian

pilgrims from all over the world used to take this road to travel to one of their most significant trying and one of the maced holy places in syria its residents to speak aramaic the language does christ is believed to have spoken we too are driving tomorrow. but for another reason on wednesday the central sunni village which had been among 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 have had 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 in. the army tells us that this is the closest point and we cannot go any further we can see mallalieu which claim here but the thing is that the militants who are still

inside that we can see us as well there are snipers inside the goods so it is really dangerous to go there the soldiers say that they militants mostly from don't have the luther who took over the mountain top sufi the hotel and from time to time they're firing from this so to take place and they're also militants behind this 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 sofia hotel there are ancient caves they're 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 is the mists 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 there is almost level i guess the army that we visited malula last spring in a christian arland in a mostly news the ocean the village was indeed unique and aside for 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 this unit and it seems the residents worst fears became a reality 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 trained 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 their rivals 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 see what the war on the ground will look like but certainly things place will no longer look the same. to reporting from syria. yes saw it sees me if i'm not sure of pointing from on the footage that will clashes are continuing in this ancient and spiritual place according to her latest

tweets on her on twitter and stay up to date with that syrian army mission and the latest news from the country. live. here as i look. at the speech. i. will be misleading.

a lot of very little. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth of the might think. it's because one full attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on the we're going to be coming back. at our teen years we have a different approach really good because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not i look. at.

you guys talk to the jokes that will handle the stuff that i've got to. now that the story is a prime minister kevin rudd has conceded defeat for his labor party the nation's general election results indicates a sweeping victory for the conservative coalition this form your position for the last six years its leader tony abbott had campaigned on a plan to sign him seek an anti green tax platform we could be expounded in the psalms you will soon run in the elections and likely to secure a seat in the senate now to my colleague andrew farmer spoke to a lot seasons in france about the songes bid for office he's got the power to pull votes away from other australian anti-establishment parties such as family firsts

the pirate party and the sex party you heard that right those three opposition parties he has the power to to to get get attention 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 australia senate as you mentioned has consisted mostly of social media blitz is in 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 you're 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 expand the 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 or. if he does win if there's no chance and he does win he'll have to get back to stray we're actually going to be possible well if there's a lot of the 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 an end and 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 would be australian government to allow political figure who is being elected to the street in the largest leftist streets and allow him to sit. in detention and it will be a public relations not to the australian government would have to take it very

carefully if elected he's got 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 victoria 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. but i have protested in berlin of four on the latest revelations by edward snowden about the scale of america's online surveillance it's been revealed that the n.s.a. has poured billions of dollars into successfully cracking internet encryption technology is leaving swathes of personal data open for snooping or head of the upcoming election german protesters were also outraged by the government's wild reaction to the scandal or to put all of that the details. another saturday another demonstration am against the n.s.a. spying on europe europeans have been outraged at the amount of their personal

details that is not only being clean through the spying scandal but also be just handed over by certain companies that straw and hundreds of people out on the streets here of the german capital to campaign against that they say that they're unhappy at the u.s. looking into their personal lives. any intelligence service act must be subject to the law there are committees for that in the been the static and they should be making sure that the german intelligence service operates in the interest of our citizens and doesn't cooperate with foreign services to spy on the darkness that side with the gulf is going to doubt that i would data should be protected and who should have access to information so we know what's going on at this moment everything strictly confidential so have no one to defend ourselves from surveillance and today we would like to show them that we will not accept this . was not all the western democracies after september the eleventh almost started

an arms race like in the cold war but this time those arms are used against their own citizens this makes me extremely angry so today i'm wearing a wedding dress that symbolizes the love for democracy to which i say yes and i will love till death do us part i did this level of outrage which is prompted the european commission to say that. well edward snowden's leaks have been a wake up call and that they need to put forward some kind of legislation that will companies they give forward information about the source and stop them from doing not at the handing over the private information of european citizens to the united states. not only on their but also on law and we have plenty more stories for you on our website including people's an active lifestyles of fast food is threatening productivity dot com we report on how stories of the city where it's weighing down
