law north wall president addresses political public in the united states saying america should not attack syria as it would ultimately diminish u.n. and international disarmament it's. a terrifying week of pillaging executions and forced conversions in the christian village of. syrian army units force of more than one thousand jihad south of town. and the u.s. exports its citizens privacy to israel as the n.s.a. shares raw intelligence reports with the country with a secret deal setting noted limits on how the data can be used.

a very good morning to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow are just after nine am here in the russian capital i'm. told headlines president vladimir putin has warned against throwing the entire system of international law out of balance he addressed the american people and politicians in a new york times article this threat to the established order may well happen according to the russian leader if washington indeed proceeds with his plan strikes against syria joining me live for more on this. sean a very interesting story kicking off the news this morning here on r.t. the russian president writing an op ed piece for the new york times i suppose up if world leaders are acting coit then take your argument to the people that's exactly what the russian president has done well it certainly is a strong and hopeful article written by it was intitled ape. plea for caution from

russia and he did indeed directly appeal to the american people in a time of what he calls insufficient communication between societies he talked about that the need for the u.n. was indeed there and that it is there for international stability he said that a strike from the u.s. would put innocent lives at stake spread conflict peace efforts between israel and palestine it would hamper negotiations in solving the iranian nuclear problem he said it would also promote terrorism and generally destabilize the entire region talking about a you know lateral action he said that it would be against international law and it would be seen according to the u.n. convention as an act of aggression let's talk about what or let's listen to what he said about the need to act within the realm of international law if you cannot counter an international law then you must find other ways to ensure security

a growing number of countries seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction this is logical if you have the bomb no one will touch you we're left with talk of the need to strengthen nonproliferation when in reality this is being eroded in some strong words the president went on to talk about the u.s. culture of military intervention into internal foreign conflicts saying that it was a lot of meaning and asked why does the united states need to repeat the mistakes of the past invoking the memory of iraq and afghanistan troops still in afghanistan right now in fact and also talked about the need to consider u.n. evidence and that there is evidence that both sides were involved in the conflict and warned against premature action this is what he had to say. no one doubts the poison gas was used in syria but there is every reason to believe it was used not by the syrian army but by opposition forces to provoke intervention by their

powerful foreign patrons who would be siding with the fundamentalists reports that militants are preparing another attack this time against israel cannot be ignored. now. talked about obama and his words about the idea of american exceptionalism warned against that and also invoked the idea of america as a declaration of independence stating that all countries are created equal now aside from that he did talk about his relationship with obama saying that it is marked with a growing trust that he appreciates and he is hoping for a diplomatic solution to this entire crisis and you talk about a diplomatic solution shown interest in recent days we had the g. twenty summit is and we had the un appointed syrian mediated locked up and he me advise him caution against washington not to strike syria also from the u.n. chief ban ki-moon as you mentioned last hour pope francis getting involved as well when it comes down to the issue of diplomatic show on what's going on about well

let me add to putin talked about cooperation in international discussions as far back as the g. eight earlier this year and of course at the g twenty about the current situation on the ground about the idea of chemical demilitarization in syria he said that this was an idea that russia picked up from john kerry u.s. secretary of state's own words and in fact john kerry and sergey lavrov his counterpart here in russia are meeting in geneva to specifically hammer out those details with chemical weapons experts on hand at the scene there as well now obama said that an alternative is needed to a military strike even though a strike is still on the cards he has slowed it down and that process now what does this plan entail we're hearing media reports saying that the plan will have syria joining the organization prohibited the organization of prohibition of chemical weapons talks about how damascus needs to reveal where these chemical weapons are stored and produce needs to get u.n.

chemical weapons inspectors in teams into those sites and then talk about the who what why when and where these chemical weapons stockpiles will be destroyed and how about. process will entail now obama says that. there is a reason for the u.s. to strike but he does not enjoy popular support at home on the idea and this is a way possibly for president obama to save face now in all of this it is happening amidst a backdrop of reports that the cia has actually started delivering weapons within the past to wait weeks to the syrian rebels and that the state department has been providing weapons and other gear as well so while there is a little bit of a ramp up marking the u.s. escalation in the syrian war there is hope for diplomacy put forth by president vladimir putin right there right in front of the kremlin thank you. now it's not a clear yet who was behind last month's chemical attack in syria which sparked

america's war preparations and while washington and its allies all blame me damascus we decided to walk a chemistry professor whether the rebels could have done this as well and my colleague bill dog spoke to james to a from rice university he told us a production of illegal agents is child's play under certain circumstances. anybody with access to some raw materials the raw materials are not gotten into at a grocery store but they can they can come in very easily one can buy on the chemical market items that are just one step away from sarin easily two steps away so a chemist with about a masters level of training can produce sarin quite easily but the rebels in syria could easily have used chemicals and cells in an attack of that kind. they could if they if they had recruited some chemists with with a few years of training in chemical suits many different types of chemical weapons that are available some of them easier to make than sarin not quite as effective as

sarin is but easily made and easily brought in easily transported you know i understand that you conducted an experiment prove that making chemical weapons is very easy to do if that's the case why haven't we seen more terrorist attacks using chemical weapons well one of the reasons it's probably because of natural selection those that try to make it are if they don't know what they're doing they're going to die in making it and so it's risky business if you don't know what you're doing if you know what you're doing if you have a good about a masters level of training we did several tests to assess what level of training one would need and one can pull this off really quite easily and access to the chemicals is easy and then dispersion is easy why there have been not as many attacks with with chemical weapons i'm not sure but there are there are actually

dozens of documented chemical attacks i know in the united states they don't receive a lot of attention but there are are documented attacks now after a week of looting executions and forcing residents to confer to islam at gunpoint syrian rebels are reportedly now fleeing the christian village of my. correspondent tells us that an ongoing army offensive has now dislodged many jihadists from several parts of the town of the fighting still remains heavy snowfall this report . but i think now indeed soldiered erlich you say the army are controlling the situation here all the big ones are we are sure to a square right now. could have been impossible to get the courage to do this he turned to aides earlier this visibility is not controlled by the army but we are told that they're not going to turn to two hundred hiding behind this

nonsense that are surrounding malinda village and this is why it pays to kill a dangerous to be here and that's why they say they need some time to finish it frankly to i told her feel how tell the truth take it on the first day of the trial by the military i'm not shocked by it and haven't they they say the army tried that are eighteen right now and again there are no military and also we were told that they were up to the first five books to keep local residents who were held hostage in this whole saga basement of the tall towers and they are now free just maybe you can hear it from time to time on the rock we're sharing all we hear is separate shots which is the army yes two tugging on position face being held by the militants when i look at the large is a known worldwide as one of the people who are they kill each other make language

the language of different cards. and certainly told to you and number all a very anxious monetary question monetary value all to the catholic religion was taken by islamic groups like the loot and there may be other members of other. to hide these girls but the thinking is that this is a bad note only a cricket involve actually always hope usually. these murtha notion of one of the very few and. national correspondent serv reporting on the ground from. she's keeping us updated on what's happening there of course via twitter feed one of her most recent tweets she says that she and her crew were caught in the crossfire a sound engineer being injured by a ricocheting bullet the latest updates and pictures just a click away at it. underscore it's he. or for the meantime here

on the program cherry picked from overcrowded refugee camps in lebanon germany has received its first syrian asylum seekers are all of one hundred and seven of them but their arrival was greenlighted only after all position parties called out chancellor merkel for not doing enough to help the displaced more than two million syrians or so far fled their war ravaged country peter all of us now reports from voting. just over one hundred syrian refugees have arrived in germany as part of a new program of resettlement that's expected to see five thousand people fleeing the ongoing violence in syria come here to germany to resettle now this is part of a brand new initiative by the the german authorities these people won't go through the traditional asylum program they going to be given work permits and allowed to stay for a puts of two years then their situation will be reassessed now the group who arrived here in germany they comprised mostly of women who were described as bun

ripoll young girls people who had serious medical situations as well as people who've been described as survivors of torture this has been welcomed by those that work with refugees here in germany however they're saying it's really less than a drop in the ocean. this is just a first step but it's come way too late and there is much more that needs to be done it's tragic that we have two and a half years of war without any answers from europe to this human catastrophe to europe tells lebannon and others to open their borders but the e.u. keeps their borders shut for for for the host kind of their war in the period between january and july of this year around twenty one thousand syrians are believed to have fled the violence in their country and applied for asylum here in the e.u. the e.u.

has taken on only around four percent of the huge numbers of refugees who are fleeing violence in that country the majority of those have come here to germany or to countries all of the countries in the north of europe like sweden however as we've heard those who work with the refugee saying it's just not enough being done after these countries helped to continue this conflict by supporting the syrian rebels with training and advice. this program protesting counts of protests right on the anniversary of the nine eleven attacks as a demonstration that brings together one hundred discrimination. overshadowed by a full throttle. through the heart of the u.s. capitol. also. future forging a human chain that stretches the length of. their claim to have life separate

from space. technology innovation. developments from around russia. covered. the media leave us so we leave the media. by the sea motions to cure the. party visible. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politic only on our t.v. . news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the

streets of canada. today. it's a pleasure to have you with us here on r.t. this morning talk about serving up your citizens' private information on a silver platter to another state that's exactly what happened in a hush hush deal between the u.s. and israel and washington didn't bother to clear key data from raw intelligence reports it shared with his partner. has more on this. what we're talking about here is a top secret a five page memorandum of understanding that lays out all the details of intelligence sharing between the n.s.a. and its israeli counterpart what it does reveal is that the n.s.a. routinely shade intelligence with israel without first sifting this information

to remove information that is inside relating to american citizens it states that israel is allowed to receive intelligence signal it includes i mean valuated and minimize transcripts just faxes telex voice and digital network intelligence metadata and content and that is a quote at the same time the agreement places no legally binding limits on the use of the daughter by the israelis so while the memorandum does say that the material has to be handled in accordance with us all at the same time these raids have agreed not to deliberately target americans who identified in the datta there is no kind of legal obligation to back up these claims in this respect what it reads is that the agreement is not intended to create any legally enforceable rights it is not an international agreement and it is not legally binding it also says that

these raids were required to destroy upon recognition any communication that is either to or from an official in the u.s. government this includes the white house cabinet departments the house of representatives and the senate amongst others n.s.a. so far has declined to unsuspicious a few questions about this agreement and they say spokesperson has said that the agency insists that the shared intelligence complies with all the laws governing privacy there was a statement that they did release and in that statement they said and again i'm quoting we are not going to comment on any specific information sharing arrangements or the authority under which any such information is collected the fact that intelligence services work together. under specific and regulated conditions mutually strengthens the security of both nations so that has been their formal response. and i while some journalists and activists hope that edward snowden's revelations will inspire

a security revolution professional opinions on the n.s.a.'s ways of doing business are being met with dad is a cryptographer matthew greene published a blog post on how the agency is waging its war against previously but was shortly asked by the john hopkins university where he works to take it down interview with r.t. he explained what he found out from the leaked information. what we learned is that the n.s.a. has a hard time breaking crips and so what they've done is they've actually tried to take the products that that perform and corruption and make them worse make the weaker so that it's easier for them to break that encryption the n.s.a. is is willing to make us if you're a little bit weaker because remember it's not just you know down u.s. citizens who are using these products it's americans too and they're willing to you know in a sense put our credibility on the line our tire industry on the line in order to access that communications of whoever it is they want to listen to we have a big debate ahead of us how much spying i mean there is there's a range anywhere from zero percent spying to one hundred percent spying and i think

we have to figure out what the right balance is i think what we're learning is that the american public is not comfortable with what we're learning about that. i do bear in mind always a many more stories on our website every hour we're loading up the new ones for example of the fukushima nuclear plant is spewing yet more radiation a groundwater checks of the facility show the levels of one radioactive isotope have so water fifteen fold in just the past three days more on that on line for you this hour. also the mystery of a subglacial lake scientists have discovered new life forms and antartica dating back around one hundred thousand years to come details that right now. right from the sea. first rate. and i think that you're.

on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the. we are on the verge of the ati world update for now is the anniversary of the nine eleven attacks on america still drawing the wrong emotions across the nation and they came close to getting a bit out of hand as counter protests circled each other in washington liz wahl reports from the heart of the capital. all of us are readily dubbed the million muslim march but it was renamed million american a march against fear and on this whole fan 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 and whatever your religious views. we're coming together

here as human race to say hey look we don't agree with everything we do in fact they don't even trust the government yes i have been discriminated but. according to what media puts out there we muslims condemn turns we must little's against violence and hate. and we muslims are just like all americans once to work hard to build this kind of perhaps a bigger definitely louder demonstration to his two million bikers demonstration it's actually a counter protest to be original protests they came out on their bikes to make it their voice says loud and clear things about nine eleven there you see 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 look. for people to so

a lot of different points of view being displayed signaling that twelve years later some of the decisions and policies post nine eleven remains of bison. well let's get into it. straight to turkey. clashes are broken out again between police and protesters all but i agree that the death of a young student at a demonstration over the weekend. used tear gas to try and crowds in istanbul on the capital ankara it's the third night of violent confrontation after a funeral was held for the twenty two year old. thousands of mexican teachers are taking to the streets again after the president signed into law or a controversial new education reform and the protests have been ongoing for months as you can see again resulting in clashes paralyzing much of mexico city i mean you know we'll see teachers' salaries adjusted by outside monitors who would evaluate

and gray before. now more than a million people have turned out in the spanish breakaway region of catalonia pushing their claim for independence by forming a human chain four hundred kilometers long i think calling on the national government to let them hold a referendum on separating from the rest of spain. reports from barcelona. where they. believe just. under seven hundred let's. go over the any of the above the revive the rights to the track and leave it to the absolute i mean i like this actually and to put pressure on the spanish government could grow and catalonia independence referendum and instantly of course catalonia it's an independent state that's not going to was that the people taking part in this action today the big question for everyone

watching this around the world why do you guys want independence. called. sure language and history and also because we have economic reasons that he's tired out today no undoubtedly the economic crisis in europe has certainly ways to believe all these cool school independent no catalonia is the richest region. die in a little bit economically they would be better off independent you cannot make. half the land in the time to look very much to speak to your own today i spoke to professor paul economics of you know about the late at least lucy and she told me she had no doubts the calculation here would be better off why it's become independent. on taxes. we would have.

higher. revenue for our government because at present only fifty cents of the euro that we face taxes came back on your news investor. post shows a majority support for independence in the two thirds of the politicians in the parliament have all pride of independence and might not happen as early as twenty fourteen but one thing seems clear with move than a million people turning out in support of independents last year hundreds of thousands photo taken part this the momentum ahead calling for independence doesn't look like it's fading anytime soon surf on a bus. and i'm back with more the was top headlines in half an hour's time for the meantime though in just a moment it's well to part. david

children. of american atheists initially had his request for a custom license plate with the word atheist on it rejected atheist written with a one as the i was deemed to be just too offensive after some pressure the new jersey motor vehicles commission caved and allowed the plate this is only logical because a properly spelled atheist point had already been in use i look at this two ways one if you're going to give people the freedom of choice of expression then some people are going to express themselves in the fence of way so if you're terrified of offending people then why not just give everyone a random plate with a random number and no one will be offended at all or to if you really believe in freedom of speech and expression all that then allow drivers to pick whatever they want and be responsible for themselves if someone throws a brick through their car window for having an ultra offensive license plate and if you want to express yourself or express something really offensive on your car then

you better be prepared for some blowback or at least a few people spitting on your windshield but the show just my opinion. hello and welcome to the part of responsibility to protect is a relatively new invention but already highly controversial one especially after being applied in how to make sure that the protector is done and i'm doing more harm than good while to discuss that i'm now joined by one of the architects of our

two peat formers trial and foreign minister garrett adams mr evans thank you very much for being here and one of the parts we are recording this program. just hours after president obama called all of the pounding military strikes against syria and he didn't invoke our to preform only bread in his speech to the american people he talked a lot about america's responsibility in this world and i wonder what do you have a country or a set of countries that are prepared to do the lawn doesn't that ultimately make our t.p. totally redundant what's the point of even trying for a collective action while the united states will do it alone anyway what if the united states will i think the united states is listening to world opinion and listening to domestic opinion and it sure as hell not to go going to go down a military intervention unless there's very strong and compelling reasons for doing so and unless it has a very.
