as the c.e.o. for your media project c.e.o. don don r t dot com. coming up on our t.v. last night president obama spoke to the american people on why he seeks military intervention in syria but he also stressed that he's willing to seek a diplomatic deal to him on what's next in the fate of syria just ahead and today marks twelve years since the world trade center towers fell and while we remember those who died that day some of the first responders and volunteers are still struggling with health issues that story coming up also more of the n.s.a.'s inner workings are revealed new documents shed some light on the top secret buys a court and how your phone privacy is being compromised more on the revelations later in the show.

it's wednesday september eleventh eight pm in washington d.c. i'm sam sax and you're watching r.t. and we begin with a meeting in geneva scheduled to begin tomorrow between secretary of state john kerry and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov the focus of the meeting is drafting a u.n. resolution that the security council can agree to to compel syrian president bashar al assad to give up his chemical weapons stockpiles as president obama noted in his primetime speech last night he's asked congress to delay votes authorizing military force in syria until it's determined whether or not this diplomatic solution is indeed viable already though we're seeing some discord on what a diplomatic solution looks like as russia says it can support any resolution that threatens military force against syria while also forcing syria to disarm but the united states argues that the only way to get syria to disarm is with the threat of

military force and in his speech last night president obama insisted that military force is still very much an option. i've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on assad and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails for nearly seven decades the united states has been the anchor of global security this is men doing more than forging international agreements it has meant enforcing them so the president says he wants to come to the table to find a diplomatic solution but only if he can bring a gun to the table too it's also worth noting that as much as the president says that the plough mysie is his ideal preference it took him into the very end of his speech last night to even address the current diplomatic solution that's been proposed now while all of this is going on the senate is working on a new authorization for military force in syria one that hinges on all diplomatic measures being exhausted first before any targeted u.s.

military strikes such a resolution may be able to attract more support in congress where lawmakers have received an earful from their constituents urging a no vote and a new c.n.n. poll shows that more than two thirds of americans are confident that a diplomatic solution will ultimately prevents a u.s. bombing campaign in syria. of course should diplomacy fail then president obama decides to launch strikes in syria he would do so with very little support from the american people in fact military intervention in syria has a less support among americans than any past u.s. conflict over the last two decades and this disconnect from the american people was on display last night in the form of a protest outside the white house while president was giving his primetime address artie's making lopez was there and here is her report my fellow americans it's not i want to talk to you about syria. why it matters and where we go from here with

those words president barack obama began to make his case for military action in syria a violation of international law he said a dictator committing atrocities while the world looks the other way he proclaimed the president once again was the american people through the evidence that he says proves syrian president bashar all all sides used chemical weapons but he wasn't the only one with a message last night dozens of protesters gathered outside to tell the president they've had enough american intervention we presently have a potest who is a trigger happy fraud and we need to recognize this because we have lost face in the international community i think it's a sad day when we have a secretary of state who is supposed to be our highest diplomat in this country who instead of using creative diplomacy instead is trying to play the role of minister

of war there's about one hundred people they've brought bar signs they have kids actually sat up in loudspeakers and whatnot they streamed the entire speech loud and there was a lot of open dialogue and open criticism to what the president was thank you obviously everything orange here is very very against intervention in syria and they want to make their point known which is why they're out here expressing their at their hearts in their view over the past week we've seen protests across the country opposed to syrian intervention. here the latest polls indicate that sixty percent of americans are against action even if it is a limited strike and they say the president might finally be listening well let's first be clear president obama wanted to go in and start bombing period it was only because we the american people rose up and said wait a minute that he decided to go to congress but not everyone out protests. last

night was against the idea of interventions a lone protester made his case for war we think that the truest way to peace in syria is intervention. what we have now is appeasement. and a peace but never works assad is another hitler is another hitler and if he doesn't get stopped he's going to his forces and the extremists are going to march through the middle east some say the president is using too much force others say not enough just about everyone has an opinion on syria but the ultimate decision comes down to the president terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong but when with modest effort and risk we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run i believe we should act in front of the white house meghan lopez

r.t. . now while the international community weighs its options on syria syria itself continues to deal with the horrors of its civil war a civil war that is part of the syrian government against a diverse opposition of rebel groups some moderate others focused on jihad artie's maria for notion has the story of those fighters who've come to syria to fight on behalf of al qaeda. this may look like an ordinary farewell amongst friends but the man in the long islamic coat is a suicide bomber leaving on his final journey. this is his last conversation with us elder brother in a car that is supposed to take care of the central prison in aleppo syria and then explode sending him according to his beliefs these clips were found on a letter to the wanted and seen in the photo who is now in a syrian prison he calls himself he says he came to syria from the former soviet

republic to fight. a group called murat approached me a year ago and convinced me that muslims in syria are being oppressed and killed and that i should go and take up arms against assad provide jihad and help establish a caliphate that will extend worldwide to europe america and everywhere his nicht into syria last january through turkey in istanbul two men who said they were from al-qaeda and accompanied him to syria where he joined a large woman gate run by an egyptian jihad is my job was mainly to prepare bombs for cars the rim any people all from different countries our teachers showed us how to make bombs which ingredients to use and how exactly to cook it. one of his recent assignments was and let the prison bomb in last place the man you saw in the farewell the deer was driving the car the russian prepared. brought his entire

family to syria including his five year old son and this mediocre militant shows his boy how to make a bomb they say i'm sorry father dies the son should. i don't know what al are prepared for me but we have to finish what we started we spoke to at the air force intelligence jail next to a military airport in damascus. if you don't think. the policeman is here mainly charged by the terry smith spying. this newly built unit can accommodate up to two hundred people and already almost four. in the jails backyard an officer tells us not to get to place as the prisoners could be dangerous there are people here from syria yemen iraq jordan egypt and palestine but many came from europe as well as algerian with a french passport ammar has spent most of his life in france where he married a french woman and lead

a normal life that changed after he was recruited by an islamic group with outside ties calling jihad in syria. i volunteered i went in of refugee camp i met a salafi group and i trained with them for about two and a half months and then we illegally crossed the border into syria. under says as a son of the fundamental muslim he had to get involved. with so much sunni syrian brothers suffering here i saw on al-jazeera our beer and other channels that kids are also suffering i took up arms and i was ready to use them but when i came here i didn't see the enemy in a separate building they show west weapons including handmade bombs and green maids seized from militants these are the instruments of global jihad that syria as a battlefield to bring foreign fighters and violence this prison may be food but beyond the wall is really

a man of many causes remain free to continue their fight. damascus syria archies maria from on the ground in syria with camera man me hi o'connor coffin and camera system three of our games and while in the town of mood today where is engineer was injured she tweeted out my engineer got slightly we thank god injured to his forehead she later tweeted that our crew is safe but that is still a dangerous place to be. now of course today is september eleventh and it marks twelve years since the two thousand and one terrorist attacks that killed nearly three thousand people at the world trade center at the pentagon and in shanksville pennsylvania the day so far has been filled with memorials around the country.

and you are on. trudy and. you and me so much your brother your sister in you have a need and never. an amazing. day. and some of the most iconic images from nine eleven our first responders running toward the chaos toward the danger to save lives and for many losing their own life doing so and first responders today twelve years after nine eleven are still suffering from the consequences of their heroic actions and unfortunately many are not receiving the help they need artie's on a stasi a church as more. rebuilding

a site of horror and tragedy. a new tower marks the new york skyline. rebuilding the lives of those who were here to help twelve years ago is moving at a glacial pace what do you want people this year to nine eleven related illnesses thirteen hundred workload in an all boys hundred since nine eleven a little more than eleven people have been compensated with only a handful of people so far having received cash from a fund set up for victims first responders and volunteers tens of thousands are still waiting while struggling with sicknesses from inhaling toxic air after nine eleven people like t.j. gill martin. sheen hasan and ken george it is a big fight. big fight if you like but if we were the criminals. the way they treat us doctors tell can he has the lungs of a senior citizen he's only forty nine once

a highway worker he is disabled and can't make a living play with his grandchild or lead any semblance of a life he once had i can't take enough oxygen in and well enough oxygen out so this is what this machine here helps me breathe gives me the extra oxygen i need forces it into me not only is he attached to a machine can also has to take thirty three pills and almost a bottle of cough syrup every single day this is. the first responders wearing sunglasses because the steroids he takes to keep his vital organs working give him chronic headaches they've also caused him to have a heart attack and game dozens of pounds can considers himself lucky each year it comes by it is more of my nine eleven brothers and sisters who got sick pass it on you know it is i think a total sixty hundred that that passed away or eighty from the illnesses guilt is a major part of ken's life because i didn't want anybody alive you know. jamie

hazen had surgery on his stomach and struggles with p.t.s.d. breathing is a daily struggle for him monitoring his health is his new full time job a nine eleven first responder it's like nine eleven every day for you when you're sick or getting sick or there's a believe about fifteen hundred people with cancer right now jimmy says the government has no excuses left and needs to step it up nine eleven that's yesteryear let's not worry about it but the truth is people are sick people are dying people have cancer they're not exactly healing from this and getting better fifty three year old t.j. gill martin echoes this a former construction worker he also has not been able to work for the last five years because of his disability following nine eleven i've woken up at night with b.s. and coming out of my throat and i'm choking to death. and i can't breathe we first met t.j. shortly after the zadroga health and compensation act was passed two years ago promising financial aid to sick nine eleven first responders. since then i had to

sell my house so whatever. because the victims' compensation fund hasn't. anybody since i saw you waste the nozzles in my lungs have grown if they stay where they. will be fine if they grow any more they get it they got below but my work traditionally on the anniversary of nine eleven the world commemorates the lives lost on this historic day but the first responders in our story and now by theirs are yet to receive the compensation and help they deserve a mind boggling twelve years after the tragedy and the future going to see the light. and there are still others who remain affected by the events of nine eleven namely muslim americans who've been dealing with ever increasing islamophobia here in the united states as the war on terror has ramped up abroad today many muslim americans took to the nation's capitol here in washington d.c. for what they're calling a rally against fear but they weren't the only protesters on hand as well was there

there is what you saw. bowl was a readily dubbed the million muslim march but it was renamed million american a march against fear that turned out not as big as and to some hated maybe a hundred people shy of the thousands of people that were expected to turn out for this event today on this anniversary of the nine eleven attacks protesters here want to bring attention to the plight of the muslim american community after the nine eleven attacks people want to try to come together as a human race as human race or whatever your religious views. we're coming together here as human race to say look we don't agree with everything we do in fact they don't even trust yes i have been discriminated but. according to what media. we muslims condemn turns we must close against

violence and hate. and we muslims are just like all americans one still work hard to build this kind of perhaps a bigger definitely louder demonstration today is this two million bikers demonstration it's actually a counter protest to the original protest this original protest among conservative groups because some of the organizers have ties to the nine eleven true their conspiracy group so they came out on their bikes today to make it their voice says loud and clear they originally applied for a permit so that they could bypass all traffic signals that permit wasn't approved we caught up with them today here is what they had to say. or for victims you know a lot want to hear. things about nine eleven those who. lost their lives the families our troops who are still fighting for all the

families that have lost people that's why we're here. to be able to die. i want to see. what brings you honor an awful lot like the nine eleven and iran so a lot of different points of view being displayed today signaling that twelve years later some of the decisions and policies policies of nine eleven remain device in but i did notice on both sides there is this massive unity here in washington liz wahl our team. now into the latest regarding the national security agency's massive spying program edward snowden the latest leak published today by the guardian shows that the n.s.a. is handing over huge amounts of raw data including data belonging to american citizens to israel where it's then sifted through without any safeguards protecting the privacy or association rights of american citizens according to an undated

n.s.a. memo this intelligence sharing program with israel began in two thousand and nine and while internal documents stressed the need for israeli intelligence analysts to protect the privacy rights of american citizens the reality is israel has access to raw intelligence that has not been filtered by the n.s.a. to remove u.s. citizen communication data or yesterday trying to stay in front of leaks just like this one the director of national intelligence james clapper released hundreds of documents about the n.s.a.'s telephone calls surveillance program these releases came in response to a freedom of information act requests from the electronic frontier foundation and the a.c.l.u. naming clued in them are previously classified fice a court documents that show concerns from the court over how the n.s.a. is searching through americans phone communications artie's a married david now with more on what can be gleaned from this document dump. more than two years ago senator ron wyden of oregon took the senate floor to boycott

a four year extension to one of the most controversial pieces of legislation the u.s. patriot act i served on the intelligence committee for over a decade and i want to deliver a warning this afternoon when the american people flying though how their government has secretly interpreted the patriot act they are going to be stunned and they are going to be angry. now we didn't know it at the time but senator wyden is words would foreshadow just an inkling of the disturbing revelations to emerge regarding americans right to privacy it's because of white and chilling comment that privacy advocates began to ask questions about how the government had been interpreted in one very questionable provision of the patriot act known as section two fifteen a section that vastly expanded the government's power to spy on ordinary people were firm to it as sensitive collection program and now more than two years after

a flurry of requests and a subsequent lawsuit from the american civil liberties union and the electronic frontier foundation we finally have the answers just yesterday the office of the director of national intelligence released approximately eighteen hundred pages of documents that shed light on the constitutionality of the n.s.a.'s domestic surveillance program so we now know more details on a program that started back in two thousand and one that allowed for the government to collect our phone records in bulk that's right under this program the n.s.a. received daily transfers of all customer records from the nation's phone companies those records included incoming and outgoing calls along with the calls duration but more specifically the documents reveal that the n.s.a. had been running an automated alert list on the selected phone numbers the spy agency to. i have to list of about eighteen thousand suspicious phone numbers but

senior intelligence officials now say that of the phone numbers on the alert list more than fifteen thousand of them or eighty eight percent were wrongly included and according to the documents and i say officials didn't even understand that this activity was a violation of their own internal regulations the washington post posted one official as saying there was no single person with a complete understanding of the business records by the system and apparently that lack of understanding led to us mall lack of communication for three years between two thousand and six and two thousand and nine the n.s.a. provided faulty information to the fire support during which time the court continued to approve the bulk surveillance program but in two thousand and nine the court finally came down on the n.s.a. when district judge reggie walton oversaw a u.s. spy court wrote a blistering opinion about the n.s.a.'s abuse of power in fact the judge almost

shut down the government's domestic surveillance program after he quote lost confidence in the ability of n.s.a. officials to operate it in the right way but instead of shutting down the program bolton instead ordered the n.s.a. to conduct an end to end review of its policies and mandated that the organization be subject to closer monitoring this might sound familiar to those of you who are following the fallout of the n.s.a. scandal which the president's major action has been calling for its own review board so there you have it thousands of ordinary americans being searched without meeting the n.s.a. standard of reasonable articulable suspicion and as punishment they're getting review boards in washington david r t. this video.

what you're seeing is police dash cam footage from the night of august tenth of the arrest of forty four year old christina west after she allegedly was driving drunk with three foreign exchange students in the backseat car and crashed it into a house this routine arrest turns anything but routine as you see when tallahassee police began using force on west and slam her head into the police car and then into the pavement before one officer places knee on the back of her head this is what christina west look like after the arrest her cheek bone broken she's since had to have two surgeries to repair the damage now they tell us the police department stands by its actions that night claiming that west got physical with the officers attempting to kick them in the growing in the leg but west attorney now plans to file suit against the tell us the police department for unwarranted brutality against his client. in our modern world digital communications continue

to become more and more wireless but what if the devices we use such as cell phones and laptops are having the adverse effect on our health for more on the radiating world of wireless devices the residents laurie harvest. the f.b.i. he hasn't updated cell phone radiation guidelines since one thousand nine hundred ninety six in two thousand and eleven the world health organization agency for research in cancer listed cell phones as a possible carcinogen but cell phones aren't alone in meeting radiation all of

those other wireless devices we're surrounded with you would out to your p.c. laptop wireless routers cameras etc none of the radiation these devices invented has been quantified or qualified but it's something that's of around us all the time now we're living in a radiation field world so it might be time for us to think about protecting ourselves because no one else is going to if you're an android device user you can use a mobile app called and eight which is built to protect you from harmful low grade electromagnetic radiation it only costs ninety nine cents and uses technology to deflect the radiation if you're one of those people who use a laptop on your lab a company called defender pad has developed a product for you it's a pad if you put between your lap and your laptop and it blocks both radio frequency and low frequency radiation it costs eighty nine ninety nine but

considering the organs that happen to be around your lap it might be worth it. but it's hard to create a barrier between you and every single device that might be in meeting radiation so perhaps the best way to protect yourself. if by ingesting naturally protective substances bentonite clay not only removes radiation from the body but also heavy metals pollutants bacteria viruses and even parasite you can make between one teaspoon and tablespoon and glass of water and drink it without food or you can take kirk you meant the active ingredient in this vice turmeric as a daily supplement which also has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors foods rich and garlic beta carotene ginger and seaweed have also been shown to have protective properties against radiation ingesting a natural supplement is probably the way to go anyway considering the fact that at

this point no one has any idea how much radiation we're all being exposed to the only thing we can be sure of is that we are being exposed to it on a daily basis. tonight let's talk about the bad by following me on twitter at the resident. does it for now for more on the stories we covered go to youtube dot com slash r t america or you can check out our website or t dot com slush usa and you can follow me on twitter sam sucks and don't forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight a special guest as curtis stone celebrity chef and author he'll be cooking with larry king and also talk about the world of cuisine so you don't want to miss it until then take it easy.
