barack obama saying that he would prefer a peaceful solution to the chemical weapons. supporting. to relinquish its. resources the rebel fighters in syria. against israel from the government controlled territories and what they're calling a blatant provocation. and the far right extremist killed. as part of a right wing coalition government look at how europe's increasingly turning away.

from. the worldwide headlines live from the russian capital the u.s. war machine will continue to loom over syria but washington would overwhelm not to pull the trigger that's according to barack obama who's now a russia's proposal for damascus to hand over its chemical weapons leaving the ball firmly in syria's court. the u.s. congress on the american public remain largely opposed to starting yet another conflict with. this may be a face saving moment for the obama administration because its arguments for a military action against syria have been falling apart both in the international community and in the u.s. congress congress jumped on this washing proposal because they're being bombarded every day by their constituents who demand that they vote no to strikes against

syria within hours after syria confirmed its willingness to get rid of chemical weapons the senate delayed the vote on strikes that was scheduled for later this week the president knowing that the house of representatives would most likely vote no on attacking syria was very vague about the prospect of the vote he said this i don't anticipate that you you would see a succession of votes this week or. any time. you know in the immediate future and so i think there will be time during the course of the debates here in the night of states for the international community the russians and the syrians to work with us to see is there a way to resolve this the obama administration's rhetoric has been confusing and has raised lots of questions that is as it was building the case for strikes the u.s. wanted the support of the you when but would refuse to take classified evidence that washington supposedly has against the syrian leader to the u.n. security council also to u.s.

lawmakers secretary of state john kerry would make arguments like if congress does not support strikes in syria u.s. ally saudi arabia and carter according to john kerry would certainly fund the more extremist elements of the syrian opposition of course many ask what kind of an argument is that why are they even your allies who admit that they're willing to fund terrorists also the administration was of course aggressively using the iran card to bolster support in congress and to scare the lawmakers into voting yes on strikes so after all that war mongering president obama says this one reason that this may have a chance of success is that even syria's allies like iran detest. chemical weapons iran. you know unfortunately was the target of chemical weapons at the hands of saddam hussein back during the iraq iran war and so we may be able to arrive at a consensus and we're almost used to this one day president obama says he has made his final decision on strikes the next day he says he has not made his final

decision at a time when he has confused virtually everybody in the international community and among the american people and nobody knows where he's standing right now the president is still expected to try and sell the strikes against syria to the american people in his tuesday night address. and in the meantime barack obama is rather hard pressed to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessor who attacked iraq without u.n. approval on the what turned out to be a false pretext and that's according to one of the architects of russian foreign policy i mean to alex he pushed off. there is if not panic definitely tension in washington concerning this decision statements that primeau acting on them are followed by new statements the u.s. seems to be having major trouble figuring out the policies that will be accepted by the international community america's own our allies and global public opinion as well as that inside the us obama has found himself in

a very difficult situation first of all his decision isn't legitimate within the un it's clear that the general assembly won't sanction a strike on syria unless there is solid evidence that assad's government was behind the chemical attack he is desperately trying to not become a copycat of his predecessors george w. bush he campaigned on promises to be bush's opposite and now he's walking down the very same road bush attacked iraq with the u.n. sanctions and obama isn't likely to get them and he is deeply troubled by that because he campaigned that he would be a president of peace that's why he's desperate to get any legitimization for his actions now the majority of u.s. lawmakers are now leading towards or rejecting obama's plans for a strike against syria while opposition to war is also mounting among that of the american public in fact a new figures from the usa today newspaper showing that are now more than sixty

percent of those polled on monday do not want their country getting directly involved in syria and that is up from a reuters poll last week where fifty six percent were against intervention but and he will campaign a brian becker he says that had the white house may still sideline capitol hill and the people in order to push its own agenda on syria. i think the message from the obama administration in particular secretary of state john kerry is we won't take yes for an answer any diplomatic solution even though is that they suggest themselves if there is any appearance that that might actually come to pass then the u.s. government rules that unnecessary so many syrians will suffer so much is at stake but you know john kerry just doesn't care because they're damned if they do they damned if they don't united states wants to carry out this weapon strike not for chemical weapons not this chemical weapons in the future not the save children they

want to carry out regime change in syria and they know this is the only road to do that of course the u.s. itself has had huge amounts of chemical weapons biological weapons nuclear weapons and they act as if they're the overseers of the policeman of the world the policeman of the middle east but let's remember this is about politics right now congress is confronted with a choice will they listen to the people or those who are committed to war no matter what the syrians what the russians or what the people of the world say they have to make a decision and a while world powers are tied up in rhetoric sources on the ground in syria have told r.t. that rebel forces are planning to launch a provocation attack using chemical weapons against israel this report from auntie's paula swear i spoke to her just a short while ago. i've spoken to both the israeli foreign ministry is what is the army spokesperson is numerous and i was asking them for they reaction to the reports we have that there is an imminent threat being planned by syrian rebels originating in territory in syria that is controlled by the syrian government

against israel now the reaction was to quote one of the spokespeople for off aged the response was simply a refusal to comment as of yet no reaction in the israeli press it's difficult to say whether or not we expect such a reaction because very often this country is reluctant to comment publicly and certainly the officials don't want to go on record giving any kind of statements of what is happening inside syria but the information we are getting and this is from sources that are close to what is happening on the ground in syria is that as i say this attack would originate in a sad hole controlled territory but it will be carried out by the rebels and the result of this is that the blame will be. as of the assad regime now at the same time the important point to make is that there has been a report that has just been released by the leading israeli counterterrorist think tank and this report does talk about the possibility of unconventional weapons forming into the hands of terrorist groups inside syria israelis are concerned that

chemical stockpiles will for you into quote the wrong hands and which way is this really is the hands of hezbollah and although israeli officials have not in the past on record as missing this it's widely understood that israel has carried out at least four strikes inside syria at weapon delivery supplies to the militants and to the hezbollah organization of course israel would rather prefer a side stay in power there's no love lost between the two countries but it's almost like that old saying to the devil you know who the devil you don't know from the israeli side i want to also bring you attention to the information we're receiving from a belgian researcher who was recently released after having being held captive by syrian rebels inside that country and he was held by them for five months and he has say that he denying that the syrian president was responsible for this new toy gas attack that took place on a village near damascus in which more than

a thousand civilians were allegedly gassed by that saturn a gas agent now this belgian mattia no says he has this information because he overheard a conversation between his captors in which they said as much and that is that they were responsible for this attack but of course we'll stay on top of the situation waiting to see if there's any kind of his radio official reaction to these reports of a potential strike against this country. of these polish we are right now in the meantime defense consultant told my colleague kevin irwin that the reports of israel potentially being targeted by syrian rebels come as no surprise. well remember the rebels have stated previously from the beginning of this year that they're going to attack israel this has been a stated goal from the beginning anyway and once they had to achieve their objectives in syria they would have gone on to israel anyway they

kidnapped somebody un observers in the golan heights earlier this year but israel underestimated the threat do you think so far oh yeah oh yeah because israel thought so that once assad leaves is going to be peace in the region they had underestimated the rebels' goal which was to start with syria and then go on to israel and other countries in the region. thank you for joining us here on r.t. today norway is set for a change at the helm it's after a general election saw the country's current government lose to a coalition of parties formed by the conservatives and their right wing allies conservative leader. who's eyeing the premier seat has hailed the triumph of the right as historic. explains the polls result is ultimately echoing a steady trend all across europe. two years ago norway suffered the worst massacre since world war two a brutal assault unleashed against

a summer camp for young people claiming seventy seven lives the perpetrator was extreme rightist anders breivik who claimed to have political motivation for his atrocities at his trial he said he wanted to punish the ruling labor party for its liberal immigration policies and to start a so-called conservative revolution he was a member of the progress party in his youth before he lost faith in it and in democracy and adopted the radical and muslim views that underpinned his act of terror the n.t.a. immigration progress party saw supported crumble in the aftermath of the attack but as norwegians headed to the polls monday for the first parliamentary election since the tragedy the tables appear to have turned and the progress party is poised to enter government for the first time the party has since softened its radical image and tried to distance itself from braving it its campaign for tougher immigration and asylum policies and wants to reduce the number of immigrants from outside the e.u. in the face of economic uncertainty and voters in some european countries have rallied

behind a far right nationalist ideas a few of the parties that have emerged have grown more popular others much less so or not at all well since the financial crisis several e.u. countries including major european economies have seen a substantial rise of populist radical right electoral support let's take a closer look now in one of the biggest economies france after years of electoral decline marine le pen led the country's national front to its best ever results in the election of two thousand and twelve now some have claimed that zena phobia is still one of the country's party's trademarks although she has tried to soften the party's image since the more radical program of the one nine hundred ninety s. well belong to austria the freedom party of austria has focused on anti immigration anti islam and euro skeptic issues is even called for a withdrawal from the euro zone. and living on to the true finns in finland they may share populist rhetoric with other nordic parties its supporters to are opposed

to the e.u. and to globe globalism now the party leader hundreds sieved the highest number of personal votes for any candidate in the party has one thousand percent of the seats in parliament well the movement for a better hungry entered parliament for the first time three years ago now the group describes itself as a radically patriotic christian party but it's described in a local pressed as neo fascist and in the far right national alliance brings together a coalition of conservatives ethno nationalists and economic liberals with fourteen seats in the legislature it's the country's fourth largest political party now at the same time some of the countries which do have notable far right parties there is a fairly even split between those that have seen an increase in support and those which haven't and as you can see right here support for right wing movements has gone down now in some ways the growth of right wing parties has been cyclical in europe some tend to gain power during economic downturns and favor and periods of growth but with economic stagnation continuing on the continent it remains to be seen what

will happen to these political groups who see r t moscow. you'll have a senior research fellow at the institute for social research and he thinks a conservative party's invitation to the rightwing group to form a coalition government could be a rather risky maneuver. it is a gamble and the problem party is has never been in government before if you have radical policies in terms of economic policy in terms of immigration policy so it's going to be a difficult. conservative party when they're going to negotiate about the governing platform after the election but we have seen a shift toward the right. in several of the last election is in norway and seem to be doing so in large numbers this year. are still to come here we're spending more on spending less government on the fire off at the expense

of his departments cost cutting practices were revealed details of that story and the rest of the world's top headlines for this hour in just a mike. told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so let's put the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to. secure a car as i'm going to talk you know. thank you no more weasel words. when you need a direct question the pretty for a change when you have to. be ready for a. freedom of speech. down to to freedom. click right to see. the. first strike.

and i think that your. on a reporter's twitter. instagram. would be in the. clip.

live. live clip. i. good morning from moscow this is a while undergoing tough economic challenges the british government has made attempts to cut costs by cutting jobs but it's meant that huge amounts of money has been spent in doing so that millions of pounds are paid to independent consultants to oversee the entire process the details here without c's lower smith. we call it all sterile see britain but it's increasingly looking like ordinary people are the

only ones tightening their belts and that's certainly not watching the pennies at the horse of government here in whitehall so a department like the ministry of defense have caught in the lining and taking it off them nearly three hundred million pounds in redundancy payments but as covenant . by the fact that for every consultant to be fooled by the fact still and not just staggering eight hundred million. cases of in the cabinet selfish change in two thousand and. seven the names of ten. million house votes and to help with special projects in areas like the railways and a further three hundred twenty eight million. payrolls stuff like short term manages allowing for some overlap in the figures that eight hundred million is in

service a best surprise to see whether this is really the colossal waste of money it sounds i want to talk to the top his the liar you are on our taxes big but it's a huge waste of money yes particularly it's hard when one is looking to foreign savings we can't continue on going over a culture of prophecy and forgetting who is actually picking up the bill this time spouse or picking up the bill touchpads who may be having to balance their own budgets and look at what they can afford the revelations led to claims that people should be met they were placed by hugely expensive consultants summoning more than a thousand pounds a day it'll say some speculation that these so-called consultants are actually almost civil servants hired to do that but until at last we inflated rates ironically last year the cabinet office minister accused the previous government of an over reliance on expensive consultants and pledged to reduce. spanx said that

hundred years in prison for his work relating to exposing online surveillance and the case has already been dubbed as the latest in the prosecution of investigative journalism and whistle blowing by the obama administration. martin takes a closer look in breaking the set at six thirty g.m.t. . that's a good journalist around has been in prison for nearly a year for shedding light on the dark underbelly of the private intelligence world and now he can't even talk about it federal court order just imposed a gag order on brown is the fence team that prevents them from discussing the details of the case with anyone from the media brown faced up to one hundred five years behind bars for a number of charges including posting a link to information already available on the internet and threatening a federal agent and a you tube video well guess who was the only testifying witness i think gag order hearing none other than robert smith the same f.b.i. agent who raided. brown's home last year and that brown is charged with threatening

have to flee a guy with an unbiased opinion on the legality of a gag order now according to the court's decision a gag order is meant to protect brown's right to a fair trial because there's just so much media coverage about the case you know between c.n.n. as miley cyrus twerking updates and amazon receives pounding at the syrian war drums government has been all over their brown look at the obvious why they don't want this case to generate attention but i better stop talking before they impose a gag order on me so let's go break the set. or thanks for joining us here at r.t. today i will receive after a very short break we continue our story in the u.s. state of virginia where tangiers island could soon be on its way to join a planned. fans

stadium when the slaughter of animals is acceptable to you or not well that's one thing but we don't need to regulate the morality of individuals in other countries via soccer especially if that regulation means punishing the football clubs who aren't responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my opinion. speak your language. program. banish. a little tentative angle stories. visit. home. ok. welcome you and your allah virginia in
