i. the latest news of the week's top stories here on are to russia manages to avert a u.s. attack on syria as moscow and washington shake hands on a deal for damascus to give up its chemical weapons. you know good. team is ahead yet again as the syrian army wrestles the christian sanctuary of mali from jihad his forces. and two years after that as a grave to the world with a horrific massacre in norway the n.t. immigration party that he was a member of is poised to take power as part of a right wing coalition and we look at the decline of multiculturalism across you.

learn from our survey here in moscow you live with us on our team with me to one with a let's take a look at a story. the syrian government has been given one week to fully reveal its chemical weapons capability which must be completely destroyed by the middle of next year that's under groundbreaking deal reached by russia and the united states now under the six point roadmap syria's entire chemical arsenal must be quickly put under international control after the stockpiles are revealed to the decommissioning process will begin the syrian government is obliged to provide for axes to all of its chemical sites so they can be securely destroyed compliance will be. well the u.n. chapter which threatens the use of force now the deal has a persuaded washington to come up with air strikes on syria at least for the time

being and he said now has more signed sealed and if delivered it could see syria hand over its chemical weapons stockpiles russia and the us agreed on a six point plan after a week of talks i think the main factor is the willingness of russia to take responsibility and russia taking the lead russia making some proposal this is really changing the whole figure of the whole three young army of the of the situation the plan is seen as a last diplomatic push to prevent a military intervention into syria there can be no games no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the regime in the event of noncompliance we have committed to impose measures under chapter seven within the u.n. security council all sides including rebel groups will be responsible for the safety

of international inspectors and will have to provide free access to the sites. of course this does not mean every time a violation is reported our actions will be taken with a massively will first have to verify and review such reports fairly because there are a lot of fabrications and laws surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful russia is still wary of u.s. threats of course but more than welcomes the u. turn in war rhetoric from the white house obama seemed more than ready to attack at all beyond words he was forced to back off on a policy that very or a week ago he was committed to launch a bombing campaign and i think the russian leadership and the american people have boxed a minute but some experts aren't convinced that this step by the ousted regime with u.s. and russian support will be enough he also has some american politicians pointed out leaves the way open to do to assert what the americans did to gadhafi could

offer after all agreed to give up his chemical weapons his various of the non-conventional weapons and then a few years later he was attacked and the rebels immediate rejection of these latest diplomatic efforts makes it clear their pursuit for foreign intervention is not over damascus now has until next weekend to provide the u.n. with a complete list of its stockpiles if i also continues to cooperate will it be enough to push for peace without the cooperation of the rebels and their supporters and he's now a r.t. moscow. the evidence is continuing to pile up against the syrian rebels the belgian ride. pichon in who went to syria under the protection of opposition fighters but ended up in captivity shortly afterwards has said the government had nothing to do with last month's chemical attack on the outskirts of damascus is but to my colleague bill dodd some viewers may find some of the images we're about to show

disturbing. i don't think bashar al assad in the syrian government are to blame for the chemical attack and. during that time my italian friend and i had been taken hostage by jihadists from the oil for root group in syria we were held at one point in a room facing an office of the free syrian army and the elf jihadist group we have been in the barracks of the priest syrian army and of the jihadist group as well and we heard a conversation from this office the conversation was between one general from the free syrian army we knew him from earlier as he was the one who was in charge of our detention and another officer from the group. just. there was also a third person who was speaking perfect english and they were talking to him via skype they were talking about the events of the in the damascus suburbs and from the conversation it was clear that the syrian government wasn't behind the attack

but it also. was it clear to you what the motivation was to use chemical weapons to launch a gas attack on civilians in this way what was the motivation do you think was it mentioned what. their motivation was unclear from the conversation but we figured that it would have been absurd for the syrian government to use chemical weapons the regime had nothing to gain from that massacre on the contrary it played into the hands of its enemies the u.s. france and the u.k. and it gave them a good reason to use force against the assad government he did the syrian government lost its mind but i don't believe that or the authors of the attack or the opposition and it is clear that the rebels are the ones who wanted to benefit from the situation. let us remind you that the rebels already tried to simulate a gas attack a year ago and alms they made a video showing people on the ground acting as if they had been. terms of neurotic

gas. this week the syrian army successfully liberated the engine christian village of mali but jihadist rebels are still holding strategic positions in the nearby mountains archie's maria flush now was in the thick of things. the late oh oh. the mood is cheerful soldiers are smiling and relieved the jihadists have been booted out. but some of them were killed some of them escaped. locals joined the army to defend the native town the soldiers in light colored uniforms of the so-called national defense that the train he's very difficult with mountains and caves but we know the area better so we are carrying on with the

operation. we come across one grocery shop owner who we filmed back in two thousand and twelve then he told us that the armed rebels hasn't come to their village and why would they. this time he's armed with a gun and monster in soldiers and he has some questions again syria syria is a land of history and of love they sent terrorists here from all corners of the world to kill syrians and each other why i asked the world why if a european citizen is so much just slapped across the face there'd be a scandal while in syria how many victims how many hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered why will it stop with quickly find out that it won't be today held by the militants for a week it seems that mountain tops of fear hotel still poses a threat that sufi hotel our goal was to liberated them push on to martha home on

a street but we couldn't do it there snipers are everywhere my lul is home to many christian churches and monasteries as well as mosques everywhere we go here we see either crosses on the rents now added to these we see blag jihadists flags it's time to head back. but while in the car something goes wrong. we take cover in a place where we find dozens of army soldiers hiding from enemy's bullets. the main road is being targeted and it sees our only way out we think over our chances when our engineer gets hate. much. thankfully it's not serious. but it becomes clear we come to

a to minutes more. when i was stuck here in this corner and we're now trying to get out of here isn't this what. i was up no no no. this has been anything done to back then they go clear a lot. more focus off the do the bullets did you hear them whizzing by. but now say that we're british ok fair. enough i mean you're

behind the scene. when you're told that this is the syrian army get rid of the press how do you make. sure you get paid. and we leave while governmental forces continue their frenzy for marla village which despite the claims remains under siege. for a fortune from syria. into maria's a posting real time reports on the situation in mali and on her twitter feed to find out the latest by following her online. in the. online. now shifted to the wind for no way the conservatives along with their allies us went to power in this week's general election i'll sting the labor party the incoming coalition includes see

anti immigrant progress party which mass and matter are under us and brave it was once a member of conservative leader not so sudden take the helm as prime minister has called the victory historic and as we see kevin of experience the political mood in norway is being echoed 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 extremely. 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 into the immigration progress party saw support 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 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 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 programme 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 has 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 seized the highest number of personal votes for. any candidate and 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 no nationalist 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 fade during 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. of a go to dan who's an aide to marine le pen of the head of france's national front explained why he believes such parties 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 immigration we want to deal more seriously with massive immigration and we're not in. we want to do against. radicalization since the one nine hundred ninety s.

thanks for staying with us here on r.t. for this week's the weekly and today's top stories an impassioned debate on academic freedoms and sprang up this week in the u.s. after a research professor at john hopkins university method greene was ordered to take down a blog entry criticizing the n.s.a. from university seven the interim dean who gave out the order apologized after receiving a barrel of complaints that cryptography told r.t. what was behind his post what we learned is that the n.s.a. has a hard time breaking encrypt 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 encroaches the n.s.a. is is willing to make us security a little bit weaker because remember it's not just you know non 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. in the meantime some academic institutions on the other side of the atlantic have come under fire for spying on these suits private data a move that they say was designed to improve education standards ickes law smith has the story. remember the film minority report it's the one where tom cruise has the car in the future and uses pass in the day to stop crimes before they happen while the fictional feature is now universities are our allies in the electronic trail of students how often they use the library what books they get out even where they park their cars to create a picture of them and how they learn they use the data in different ways the

different you need a marketing courses but also to predict which students are likely to fail or dropouts and here's where it isn't a nine hundred eighty four territory in the dystopian novel any negative thoughts is thought crime every party member has a telly screen in his or her home which the thought police use to watch them and record anything that resembles an unorthodox opinion or in the struggle now look for a university in the midlands says it's considering doing something frighteningly similar monitoring student private emails to negative comments on their university experience to see if they're at risk of quitting. students at the london school of economics are not keen on the idea would be that it would be an infringement on my integrity it sounds a bit cia now i think people are the things that went on i think people are much more kind of them. could be more violence is i don't think it's right it's

a kill but you can say sure you wouldn't do it in denmark where i come from i think people would like that i would mom my e-mails to money. i mean the private email is should have exclusive rights to n.b.c. made a case against her university do you have a good track record for keeping data private but the worry here is that there's so much states and of course how it could be used ultimately the information could be used to allocate resources for example if it identifies the type of person most likely to fail universities could stop recruiting those people altogether or not waste money on trying to retain them as students start returning for a new academic year they'd better beware big brother is watching them now more closely than ever. had to launch a dot com for more on the stories that we're covering also very if we knew we were important how tens of thousands of web users are trying to force a florida high school named after the for his grand wizard of the ku klux klan to
