the syria formally agrees to russia's proposal to hand over its chemical weapons to the u.n. potentially pushing washington back from its military strikes the u.n. security council is set to convene in new. chemical attack on israel designed to look like it was carried out by government. and in other news the. anti immigration party to join the new coalition government . killed in a crusade against multiculturalism we look at europe's shift to the right story.

in moscow when it's just ten pm with international news and comment and his first public comments since syria agreed to hand over its stocks of chemical weapons to the international community russia's president has admitted the plan was first discussed on the sidelines of last week's g. twenty meeting in petersburg as part of a bid to stop the u.s. launching military strikes well let's get more on what had to say from. thomas. well it certainly has been a fast paced fast developing news story in regards to the syrian crisis and now

we're hearing from the president vladimir putin him self on the topic in an exclusive interview with r t he said that it is well known that the syrian regime possesses chemical weapons that they keep as a counter to these the nuclear threat from israel now russia's position is clear that they are against weapons of mass destructions in the proliferation of chemical weapons and a nuclear weapons and that the idea of this proposal of syria handing over their chemical weapons arsenal was a good one and one that has been discussed for quite some time illustrating the fact that the united states and russia have actually been partnering partnering on this from the beginning take a listen to what he had to say it was. a positive move because that i mean we've heard a positive reaction from syria to the chemical weapons destruction offer we're now hoping that our syrian colleagues will make a responsible decision to put their stockpiles under control agreed to destroy them

enjoying the chemical weapons nonproliferation treaty no doubt it can only work if we get the u.s. and its allies to agree not to use force the president went on to say that he used the opportunity of it john kerry the secretary of state the united states a comments on september ninth as an opportunity to jump on this because the syrian foreign minister was in russia at the time is still in russia and he proposed it to the syrian foreign minister he reacted to it positively and said that this is a big move towards peace in the region but the president did have a word of warning for the west let's listen to his words. but they're not so we did talk about the since you had the g. twenty summit and we grew. it will work in that direction and we'll have the secretary of state and russian foreign minister at the try and move this forward on september the ninth we've heard kerry statement about the importance of the

solution and we agreed and then bloody minute in continued to say that they will keep on working out with syria and of their partners in the united states to try and come up with a peaceful solution to the syrian crisis and hopes that this particular move and this idea of bringing all of syria's chemical weapons to international possession is a positive step towards diplomacy. and thomas there will loose statements come shortly after russia's foreign minister said moscow will reject a draft resolution on syria put forward by france sergey lavrov insisted the mention of chapter seven of the u.n. charter which implies the use of force is unacceptable syria has more on this. this resolution came about just on the back of that russian proposal for syria to hand over its chemical stockpile for international control and destruction so it was met

with a lot of interest from the a western leaders however also with a lot of skepticism and david cameron had told m.p.'s here that he had spoken to the bronco bamma and that he said that this should be the proposal should be taken seriously but also that this resolution that they're about to table is to ensure that the russian proposal is not a ruse to use a david cameron's words or a delaying tactic he also urged the united states to treat the proposal with skepticism now the foreign minister of france and said that they want to table would be based on chapter seven that's a contentious point the sticking point among members of the security council now this does allow a range of measures against syria from economic measures to arms embargo to also military action if necessary and this is something that russia has been strongly against vladimir putin has just said that also simply lover of saying that this is unacceptable but why is this the case we've seen this in the past russia syria

right now has not been described yet as a threat to international peace and security which is the title of that chapter seven a u.n. resolution and russia has refused to allow this description to enter any resolution even the ones allow a u.n. un observers to syria and if we look back in history when was this a resolution that used it was use last in libya in two thousand and eleven but before that it was also the u.n. bases for you when action in libya nine hundred fifty to fifty three korean war the backing of coalition forces in iraq and kuwait in one nine hundred ninety one and also some u.n. security council resolutions against iraq before the two thousand and three u.s. led invasion so this has really been a sticking point among members we have seen from past meetings that they have failed to reach an agreement under this particular chapter which allows a military action. in london well syria has formally agreed to hand over its chemical weapons stockpiles to the un this development has put the

american president in the tough spot as he prepares to address the nation barack obama's military plans are being stalled but the white house still wants to keep the pressure on assad now that means is unlikely to be able to deliver the same call to watch as these professors my fellow citizens my fellow americans i want to talk to you today about brutal massacre of morocco suburbanite our armed forces against writing selected targets of military importance to diffuse a powder keg at the heart of europe to help bring peace to get the food through may god bless our country. and all who defend him. or not he's going to joins me now to talk about the u.s. president's primetime speech tonight and what we can expect from it so we just looked at some of obama's predecessors and what they had to say as they face toward just what in comparison do you think will a bomber's speech be like tonight. well bill he's facing

a very very skeptical and critical audience first of all the nation does not really know where the president is really standing he has agreed to the proposal that russia put forward that will involve the international community taking control of syria's chemical weapons but he is still seeking and also relation for strikes and this to say again we heard john kerry chuck hagel and martin dempsey making the case for strikes but they're adding a new twist to it and that is they need an authorization to make sure that the proposal works so we see a slight change of rhetoric here and some argue that it may be an easier sell in congress because up until this point it was clear that president obama would lose the vote in congress and at least in the house of representatives now a resolution is in the works right now that would essentially give thirty days for the u.s. president to decide whether the proposal is working and if he decides that syria is not complying with the initiative he will have the authority to strike now this can be a dangerous language because congress gave

a similar authorization with regard to saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction the u. when went into care of it destroyed them years later the u.s. said we believe they still have them and went ahead and attacked iraq anyway for the critics in congress the best outcome would be for the president to see where this is going and then come back for an authorization with some facts at hand and one needs to say that the obama administration really has a real problem with presenting facts here or there evidence is all classified they refused to take the classified evidence that they supposedly have against the government to the u.n. security council they refused to show it to the american people and they're just asking everybody to take their word for it and watch the horrible youtube videos that we've all seen that's what the case is based on not taking into account what he's cations a u.s. attack would have on the syrian people on the international law because washington has shunned the you when in all of this. and finally in the face of defeat in

congress the potential defeat the administration agrees to engage the international community and that's why many call this proposal a life raft for president obama now it's all going to be about judgment on whether or not the proposal is working it will belong to is it going to be that you were asked that jumps to bombs as a solution to every problem or the international community that has a real interest in making sure that the weapons are not used again or he's going to can live in washington thanks so much for that. well over the past few days we've been showing you public opinion polls from the u.s. which indicate that more than the hole for those who took part in them do not support a military strike in syria and that sentiment is reflected in obama's sliding approval ratings too right now forty four percent of americans are happy with the job that their leaders doing while nearly hoff

a lot and this means that his current ratings match the two years ago that's almost a reversal from her things were back in june and you can see more people approved his efforts but then on top of that here is foreign policy rating has never been worse it's at forty percent and has experienced a steady slide since the start of the year where journalists broadcast a new clock says a bomb is stuck trying to cater to a small group of politicians who want war but also to others who don't. u.s. position is very incoherent isn't it because we're having different things said it different times of the day yesterday we had john kerry saying that if syria gave up its chemical weapons that could stop the war and then syria so they would do that and then there was a sort of backtracking saying no it was a rhetorical argument now we're hearing from president obama that it would make a difference and that plans could be put on hold of course the washington elite is very divided that's why there is this incoherence because you've got on one hand the more cautious elements in washington of the two are really worried about the consequences of attacking syria and on the other hand you've got these fanatical

crazed meo con hawks who are desperate at all costs whatever the cost even of risking world war three to provoke war with syria so a bomb or you know one one minute he sort of siding with the hawks the other minute he's siding with a more cautious voices and that and i think the incoherence stems from the fact that the elites are divided in washington as to what to do next really it's been a slow global awakening as to the neocon agenda people have woken up after war after war after war people across the world are finally saying no no more war and the elites in washington got this problem they would love to bring about regime change in damascus they really want that the only thing that could have been that about is war but the public are seventy eighty percent against war so they've got this big problem now the elites across the western world really. also spoke to a former u.s. diplomat who's held a variety of roles throughout his career thomas pickering served as an ambassador to the united nations russia and israel among other countries and he told us that this proposal to rid syria of chemical arms is a great opportunity for barack obama. the president faces the quandary that

contributing to ongoing fighting is in itself not an answer to the long term problem of syria that's why i believe it's very important to look at the present situation as challenging as it is and as difficult as it is as perhaps another opportunity or at least an opening to see whether you can push toward the political settlement that i think both russia and the united states have given lip service to . online right now reporting that many experts have expressed doubt over the veracity old those images and videos that show victims of that and the chemical attack in syria the full story is what if we right now on i'll take. people happening in and around syria and we've got all the updates on our web site right now scroll through all syria timeline everything you need to know it's all if we.

well with america blaming the syrian regime for chemical attacks the u.s. national security adviser susan rice expressed concern that israel could also be at risk the use of chemical weapons also directly threatens our closest ally in the region israel where people once again have readied gas masks she's worn the chemicals could easily fall into the hands of terrorists he has received information from a number of sources that rebels active in syria are planning to launch a chemical attack on israel it would be used as a provocation against the syrian government and our correspondent has more 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 a 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 come into public to be certain of 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 have originate in said hole controlled territory but it will be carried out by the rebels and 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 move forward into quote the wrong hands and for israelis this really is the hands of hezbollah and although israeli officials have not in the posco on record at this it's widely understood that israel has carried out at least four strikes inside syria at weapon delivery supplies to be militants and to the hizbullah 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 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 from having being held. to buy syrian rebels inside that country and he was held by them for five months and he has saved that he denies that the syrian president was responsible for this new toys and gas attack that took place on a village near damascus in which more than

a thousand civilians when they took in gas today. dominica and i have a moral duty to say that it's not the bash al assad government that you sorry nor any of the gas in the damascus suburb of ghouta we're certain of that after a conversation we overheard even though it cost me to say so because i've supported the free syrian army passionately and it's fair fight for democracy and doing so now in this culture national says it 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 news radio official reaction to these reports of a potential strike against this country. israel's government strongly supports the possibility of a u.s. led military strike against damascus however amir oren is a senior correspondent and columnist for israel's how it's newspaper believes it would be in his nation's interest to keep president assad in place. if one had to

choose. seems that israel would prefer the assad regime even though we can do on perhaps without such ties wheezy iran in principle to stay in place because the assad regime has a governmental result and it wants to remain in power and it has to take care of a state the other groups don't have to be concerned with such matters and this is the same system that we saw in lebanon where hezbollah became more establishment tarion and in gaza with hamas once it took over started to behave like a government and became more restraint so for israel if one had to put it on the scales it would prefer not very happily people preferred the

assad regime exactly nineteen minutes past the hour here in the russian capital this is our no way joins europe's lurch to the right the country's governing coalition is set to include an anti immigration party which extremist mass murder and as braving was once a member of we've got more on that and other stories after the break. london. the whole world is. the original one the one on the end. of the quarterback building at the end of the street another one the more transparent society gets the money or the public hears become we see military and state police forces mobilized against people who

invited to form an alliance with the conservatives there's a couple of explains why no way is joining 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 muslim views that underpinned his act of terror the anti 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 its 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 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.

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. he's an aide to marine le pen the head of france's national front body explain what he believes policies like his stand for. we're shifting to a new system where it's not a question of right and left anymore and actually we're not anti immigration we want to deal more seriously with massive immigration and we're not entirely we want to deal against. radicalization since the one nine hundred ninety s. we're all the eyes of the people by explaining more and probably in

a better way what we were actually fighting for our days the polls indicate that we would be leading in the elections the next european parliament elections before the europe relations we will have local elections as will we will probably make very good. numbers and figures now some other news in brief on our world update this is reported footage from a protest in turkey where one man has died at a con along with forty others was part of a sit in protest over the death of activists in june when this is say he died from a head injury caused by a weapon of police report he fell from a building so his brutal crackdown on anti-government protests left four dead during the summer. in iran nearly fifty were killed in a fatal collision just outside the capital two pulses hit each other and burst into flames the accident is being blamed on a burst tire which forced one of the vehicles into oncoming traffic according to

fans of the shocked your football club and kind of gonda kazakhstan believe that a certain special ritual help them achieve victory against the world famous scottish team celtic this ritual was sacrificing a sheep at the stadium and someone who lived in kazakhstan for two years i know there's a real meat eating country with deeply rooted traditions in livestock racing so this news is unusual but maybe it's not completely bizarre for the culture of course defenders of animal rights who don't seem to realize that the sheep would be turned into people of the next few days anyways demanded that you a full officials punish the shock to a club for the actions of individual fans this is the same logic as if someone wearing a sexy tim kirby t. shirt went around robbing liquor stores i am not responsible for the actions of people like this program and it's not like i'd ever advocate robbing liquor stores and i doubt the shocked your management secretly arranged for fans to slaughter the sheep at the 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 are responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my opinion . what's up guys i'm having martin welcome to breaking the sat so investigative journalist bear brown 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 faces 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 of the gag order hearing none other than robert smith the same f.b.i. agent who raided brown's home last year and brown is charged with threatening to 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 in 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.
