barack obama says he would prefer a peaceful solution to the syrian chemical weapons are now supporting moscow's proposal for damascus to relinquish its toxic stockpile. sources claim that rebel fighters in syria planning a chemical attack against israel. controlled territories in a blatant provocation. and two years after a far right extremist killed dozens in a merciless norway. immigration party as part of a right. into the government look at how europe's increasingly turning away from multiculturalism.

with this hour's top headlines live from moscow it's are with me it's good to have you with us today. the u.s. war machine will continue to loom over syria but if washington would overwhelmingly prefer not to pull the trigger that's according to barack obama who is now backing russia's proposal for damascus to hand over its chemical weapons leaving the ball firmly in syria's court and that's while the u.s. congress and the american public remain largely opposed to starting yet another conflict of details here with our. 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 russian 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 fold on the 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 prospects of the vote he said 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 united 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 who would certainly fund the more extremist elements of the syrian opposition of course many asked what kind of an argument is that why are they even your allies if you admit that they're willing to fund terrorists 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. american people and his kids a night address. meantime barack obama is a rather hard pressed to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessor who attacked iraq without un approval and under what turned out to be a false pretext and that's according to one of the architects of russian foreign policy and mr alexie pushed off. there is

if not panic definitely tension in washington concerning this decision statements that promote 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 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 u.n. 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 that 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 leaning towards rejecting obama's plans for a strike against syria while opposition to war is also mounting among the american public in fact the latest figures from the usa today newspaper a recent poll now showing that more than a sixty percent of those polled on monday do not want their country to become directly involved in syria and that's up from a reuters poll last week with fifty six percent who are against intervention but antiwar activist brian baca he says the white house may still sideline capitol hill and the people in order to push his own syrian agenda 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 a so many syrians will suffer so much is at stake but you know john clearly 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 deceive 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 said 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 while the world powers are tied up in rhetoric sources on the ground

in syria have told pti that rebel forces are planning to launch a profile cation attack using chemical weapons against israel on his policy this from tel aviv. i've spoken to both the israeli foreign ministry is what is the army spokespersons units 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 to 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 come into publicly 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 the result of this is that the blame will be for me put on the shoulders 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 the need for israelis this really is the hands of hezbollah and although israeli officials are not in the pasta on the record at missing this it's widely understood that israel has carried out at least four strikes inside syria at weapon delivery supplies to be militants into his organization of course israel would wrong side stay in power there's no love lost between the two countries but it's almost like

that old saying back to the devil you know 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 said 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 sarin gas agent now this fall john national 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 and 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. in our sport or in the program a defense consultant moving the rove told my colleague kevin irwin that the reports

of israel potentially being targeted by syrian rebels come as no surprise what remember the rebels have stated previously from the beginning of this year that they're going to attack israel this been a stated goal from the beginning anyway once they had to achieve their objectives in syria they would have gone on to. any way. they could by 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. five ten minutes past the hour moscow time this is r.t. 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 a conservative leader who's eyeing the premier seat has hailed the triumph of the right as historic now lucy catherine off explains the polls result is ultimately echoing a steady trend 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 views that underpinned his act of terror the end of the immigration progress party saw support and 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 it's campaigned 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 xena 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. moving on 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 moving 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 seek r.t. moscow. senior research fellow at the institute for social research and also low thinks the conservative party's invitation to the right wing group to form a coalition government could at the end of the day be a risky move. it is a gamble and the problem is a 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 few days conservative party whether negotiated about a 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 or still to come here on our team spending more on spending less the u.k. government's under fire often be expensive it's departments cost cutting practices were revealed details of that and the rest of the headlines for this hour in just a moment on arts.

where we get to the aussie welled up to shortly here on the program for now though we are coming to you live from moscow and the undergoing tough economic challenges the british government has now made attempts to cut costs by cutting jobs but it has spend huge amounts of money doing this millions of pounds are paid to independent consultants to oversee the process as a laura smith now investigates. we call it all sterile but it's increasingly looking like ordinary people are the only ones tightening their belts and that's certainly not watching the pennies that the host of government here in whitehall still a department like the ministry of defense have done in the mining and in total it cost them three hundred million pounds in redundancy payments but as covenant. by

times present. as we may be having to balance their own budgets and look at what they can afford the revelations led to claims that people are being met they be replaced by hugely expensive consultants summoning more than a thousand pounds a day they'll say some speculation that these so-called consultants are actually almost civil service hired to do that but until 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. it's a spokesperson said this level of spending is excessive. now a u.s. federal court has imposed a guiding order on jail journalist by road brown and he's facing more than one hundred years in prison for his work related to explosion online surveillance the cases are already being dubbed as the latest in the post accused in open investigation of the journalism and whistle blowing by the obama administration.
