and. i am. russia ones western powers against jumping to conclusions over a un report on last month's chemical attack in syria which found that sarin gas was indeed used but stopped short of naming a culprit. a deadly rampage at a heavily guarded military facility in washington d.c. sent shock waves of through the nation and raises deep security concerns. and r.t.e. gets exclusive inside me into the life of the fugitive whistleblower edward snowden in russia months after his revelations on american global surveillance should the world.

is a.d.m. here in the russian capital you live with us on our team here with me to moment say the second look at our top story this morning. russia has stress of a u.n. probe concluding nerve gas was used in syria last month does not rule out rebel involvement in the atrocity but the u.s. britain and france have been quick to claim the report is enough to implicate the assad government the white house and says the rockets you see attack could only have belonged to loyalist forces however the u.n. findings say that this hour wind tipped warheads may have been improvise and the report did not pinpoint the sites from which they were launched at residential areas of damascus marina but man has the details. therefore released by u.n. inspectors says that there is clear and convincing evidence that chemical weapons were used in the rebel held damascus suburb of ghouta on august twenty first but

the report does not answer the key question of who launched the attack nonetheless u.s. ambassador to the united nations samantha power says the forty one page document made clear that only the syrian government was capable of carrying out a chemical weapons attack british and french officials have already at her sentiment in the meantime russian ambassador to the united nations batali churkin says that allegations that the syrian opposition used chemical weapons should not be shrugged off i think some call it was jumped to their conclusions when they were saying that this such the report definitively proves that it was the government forces who used to go weapons in the. first of all didn't have a chance to look at the report in part of the u.n. report inspectors describe the rocket used to disperse the nerve agent gas sarin as a variant of an m.

fourteen artillery rocket with either an original or an improvised warhead the u.n. report also says that while the exports were canvassing one it's not site individuals arrived carrying other suspected munitions indicating that such potential evidence could have been moved or possibly manipulated the reports said those areas were under rebel control but did not elaborate on the individuals were ambassador churkin says when it comes to who carried out the chemical attack many questions still remain unanswered one question which i sort of wondered about in the course of consultations and there was no answer. you know we will just send out to all of the use of chemical weapons on august twenty one by the government forces they'll fight. with opposition armed groups and they've they've been for a number of rockets with chemical well weapons. trying to get through those armed opposition groups and there are no casualties in the in their on the opposition

groups is it even stereotypically possible to foil five or six rockets against your opponent and have all of them missed the targets you want to specter's help included that the environmental chemical and medical samples collected provide clear and convincing evidence that surface to surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in syria u.n. secretary general ban ki moon says the incident amounts to a war crime and that the perpetrators of the atop must be held accountable the u.n. chief says this is the most significant confirmed use of chemical weapons against civilians since saddam hussein used them in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight in the coming days the u.n. security council is expected to draft a resolution for the russia u.s. brokered deal on syria but france the u.k. and the u.s. have already said that they will be seeking our strong resolution under chapter seven that would allow for military intervention if the syrian government fails to

hand over all of its chemical weapons reporting from new york marina are to. a prominent group of former u.s. security officials had won the white house about intelligence reports of from the was a indicating that rebel factions line possession of chemical weapons one of them pentagon veteran michael maloof gave our team the details. i have. a report from a source who has direct connections with two to classified information it's one one page i mean expect in others it's classified secret no foreign it's from the n.g.i. sea or the national ground intelligence center the u.s. military did an assessment based upon fifty indicators and clandestine interviews that the sourcing of siren originated out of iraq into turkey

before some of it was confiscated in may in turkey and that there has actually been a more significant amount of cern production both in iraq and in turkey going to the going to the opposition principally al-qaeda and we've had separate reports now that al qaeda elements are rather significant numbers. and have and now have permeated into the the ability to be able to. distinguish who gets what and where is going makes it much more problematic for this administration. the french foreign minister is expected in moscow for talks the head of the syria resolution debate at the u.n. security council france of britain that the u.s. up pushing for strong drive to enforce the chemical disarmament deal brokered by moscow and washington international envoy to syria left over he may help mediate that agreement and spoke to r.t.

about there and if occasions. i have repeated from the very beginning that the roles of russia and the us in resolving the syrian conflict are highly important i faced criticism from some who said that i was wasting my time they said that there was no point in traveling to russia or the us but i believe it has now become clear just how constructive and affective the role of these two countries can be there is no military solution for the syrian crisis we must find a political solution still to come in the program the voice of a dissent and a logic germany you know skeptic party seen as an outsider in the upcoming parliamentary election could make a crucial impact on that in just a few minutes. shooting at a one of the most heavily guarded military facilities in the u.s. capital has left thirteen people dead including the gunmen police are saying the

attacker used a valid pause to asses washington's navy yard but the possibility of a terrorist attack has not been ruled out some sexism in washington d.c. . i'm here on m. street in southeast washington d.c. just a few blocks from the navy yard where police responded to an active shooting that we now learned led to multiple fatalities as of right now the fatality count stands at thirteen people including the suspected gunman who police have identified as thirty four year old aaron alexis who formerly served in the navy and was working as a military contractor police are also looking for a second man who was seen wearing a military style uniform around the scene of the crime he's considered a person of interest in the shooting witnesses described the scene shot start inside the building and building one ninety seven i was not there i heard this and shots there inside the building i know it was on the fourth floor when i backed away to the building myself and other gentlemen were in the alley behind that building and that's where we were shot at the washington navy yard is the navy's

largest on shore establishment today it serves as an administrative pub for the navy housing the chief of naval operations and the naval sea systems command many who worked at the navy yard were forced to shelter in place for as long as eight hours until police determined the scene to be safe we were shuffled around and just . i would say could home an area here he as it were we could be took care of as fours like contacting spouses family members would. be they were very very professional about that they made sure that we were comforted that during this traumatic situation that those who worked at the building considered it secure this is a military environment and we all screen to get in and you know we thought to be in the seven vironment but again not on come on you know i said in this area because we had a military zone but for that to happen it's quite unfortunate that we have the suspect may have acquired a security card from someone who has access to the building there are no metal

detectors in place as part of security as of right now there is no known motive and survivors are still trying to piece together what they lived through. that's going to be tough in washington sam sacks are to. u.s. president obama has lamented yet another mass shooting calling it a coldly act the country's seen in numerous recent and gun attacks but the latest rampage is the deadliest at a military facility in four years now let's take a look at this time i'm in the event of two thousand and nine army psychiatrist killed thirteen people and injured thirty two more in a rampage at fort hood in texas two years later twelve people lost their lives in a mass shooting at a movie theater in aurora colorado and less than six months after that adam lanza shot his mother did before entering send you hook elementary school and killing twenty six more most of whom were children in march this year another shooting spree at a military base left three dead including the attacker who opened fire on fellow

servicemen a few months later an unemployed twenty three year old killed five people including his own father in center monitor and security analysts eric draws are told my colleague andrew form of that such incidents highlighted major flaws in america's security system. while at the same time that biden and the obama administration talks about you know being vigilant and gun control and things of these nature we're looking at a facility that is operated or populated with mercenaries u.s. contractors so-called military contractors which really means trained killers professional killers whose job it is to kill usually in countries like pakistan or afghanistan or iraq or elsewhere and so certainly without without running the risk of jumping to conclusions we can at least note that that facility was was crawling if you will with these military contractors so if anything we should be more

vigilant about us military adventures and the use of private mercenaries than we should be about regular ordinary citizens what more could be done to stop it happening i mean people. on the surface might be surprised this is a navy base in america's capital and secondly there's been a lot in the media about the n.s.a. surveillance program so they might well ask why these sorts of people the people that are guilty of carrying out these sort of attacks being picked up before they do it we see a direct connection between the violence that takes place in the united states and u.s. foreign policy you'd have to be blind not to see it the normalization of violence by the united states in a place like syria or iraq or elsewhere translates into a normalized violence that exists in the united states something that is seen is merely the news of the day rather than an endemic problem. and just a couple of minutes from now here on c.n.n. we bring you exclusive information on how the whistleblower edward snowden is adapting to his new life in russia obtaining temporary refuge from american

prosecution stay with us. on their way to and talk to the crew of the i can to make sure the roof face many challenges. here. you have to look out for yourself crashing onto rocks trapped in pack ice in extreme conditions anything can happen and dark to go always comes up with surprises you have to keep your eyes open because there's always something going wrong the ship carries huge reserves of water food fuel as well as helicopters and people able to survive extreme conditions they're ready for anything even an apocalypse she's really an incredible ship calling all antarctica stations this is academic a field of radio check please respond. to

all teach spanish find out more visit. welcome back you're watching our team it's been a month since the. with snowden receive temporary asylum in russia a safe little is known about his new life and he hasn't yet been spotted by the media are his work exclusively to the lawyer system the whistleblower losing friends in the studio with me to discuss the details of that interview lindsay so where is snowden don't you as a journalist get tired of being asked questions you know. all the time all the time i don't know where. we are where is he and is he in an apartment building is he in a hotel is he staying with american friends where is he we spoke to his lawyer who is assisting him anatoly and this is what he had to say about his possible location

. because. we believe the danger remains quite high. woman to reveal where he's living or to talk about it. what sort of danger do you mean. well what you have to understand is that he's being persecuted by major powers the u.s. government and we. could be some very serious consequences. even within the russian territory. here in russia i don't think that's going to happen we saw american special forces intervening in other countries but also with regards to. the broader and then transferred to u.s. territory what you really would. he enjoys traveling and he's interested in our history we saw recognize in the streets while he was traveling no nothing he has me recognized not so far. now you may be overstating

the need for security just a little bit you don't know you but apparently he's got he's got private security he pays for himself and he's got a nice big former expects not looking out for him as he goes down the street to buy bread thinking like you know if he's got security already does that mean he's got i think it was an exactly i mean does he have a job because there were rumors that he might be getting work here. what sort of thing would he be doing exactly get a job here that's a question what's the next step for him is that a book deal is it going to be monologuing on that it may it is going to be a movie it's going to have his own talk show who knows but we. did talk about what his future plans are here osco you move in you have to be able to see him rights and responsibilities as any russian citizens because you're still getting a massive number of first people writing to me calling you know resistance because

they understand that this man needs to settle here he also gets calls from business executives from different companies who want to give him a job have there been any offers which surprised you. you know there was one woman about fifteen years ago called and suggested that she should have don't use now for the premier saying that she did musing because i think we all find that pretty amusing actually and not only that but. i did talk this summer about the fact that snowden had gotten many many marriage proposal so it's very interesting to see how this letter on the continues here betty has everybody from the thirty year old wanting to adopt him to all kinds of people around the world offering all kinds of things i mean it's interesting to see how this is all going to pan out for him we're all very interested exactly well all right to lindsey france they will keep us updated with the latest from edward snowden and once he what he's up to here in russia we'll bring you more as soon as we find out. germany will be electing

a new parliament this weekend and it's promising to be a close race with no party heading for an hour drive majority coalition talks are likely and the outsider factions may have a decisive effect on what the blue looks like come next week which is bit of attended a rally of one of the parties that is now on expected lee set to make a crucial difference. that germany's political new kids on the block but it does seem that alternative for germany will have a key role to play in shaping what the country does politically over the next few years now the most recent polls ahead of the elections next sunday suggests that alternative germany will be taking a good four percent it's expected they'll take far more from not when germans actually get in to the voting at the polling stations now five percent is what you need to take a seat in the bundestag and it seems alternatively germany will do just that a euro skeptic party they are anti euro and their party leader has been outlining

exactly what he wants to do when just when alternative for germany gets into the bundestag well you know that but you're a skeptical skeptical of the efforts to find currency and that we have a number of other issues like for instance our energy policy or like the ability of our social security system something to be sure. great if you need you to ration you any time you show up if you change everything so he's not going to be just because you will the next four years as much as this is being a good campaign for alternative for germany it has been a horrific angler merkel's current coalition partners the free democrats in fact many of the voters that would have voted for a democrat seem to be turning towards other parties like alternative in germany now what that could mean is some pretty dicey discussions when it comes to getting together a coalition here after the election and alternatively germany's members are saying that if angle or merkel wants them to be part of a coalition it's her that's going to have to move towards them not the other way

around but we will never work with angela merkel if she is not willing to soften her stand on the euro as it is right now it would be a real upset if angler merkel wasn't returned as german chancellor after sunday's ballot but it does seem that after the votes of being cast the real political wrangling will start when it comes to forming a new coalition here in germany. where do hardline governments draw the line when it comes to keeping descendants under control it turns out for the trainee authorities children are fair game on our website we tell you how the young people are getting on the wrong side of the regime. also online over the past month we've been receiving frequent alarming updates from japan's crippled fukushima nuclear power plant and now mother nature can be about to make matters even worse the details at our feet dot com.

right to see. her street. and i think the true. on our reporters were very. instrumental. in the. let's take a look at other international news this hour in greece the teachers and school guards have launched a five day strike action over the state spending cuts some of the demonstrators were targeted with tear gas as they tried to approach a government building mess public sector layoffs are part of a bailout conditions imposed by foreign creditors the rallies come ahead of an inspection later this month by officials from of the european commission and the international monetary fund. and she forces in the philippines have freed more than seventy hostages after launching

a helicopter attack on muslim rebels insurgents have all compiled large parts of a somewhat longer city for more than a week forcing a thousand people to leave their homes around a hundred rebels were killed all received during daily clashes schools are still believed to be holed up in the main rebel faction of the moro islamic liberation front as well to create a breakthrough state in the region. so wise groups have been raising the alarm in the us way over the weekend police officers opened fire on unarmed civilians in two different states obvious every militant takes that is seen on breaking the set right here at six thirty g.m.t. . over the weekend america's grossly over militarized police force once again showed its true colors first in charlotte north carolina where police killed twenty four year old football player jonathan ferrell who was seeking help after miraculously surviving a car crash

a homeowner called nine one one and told dispatchers that a man was repeatedly knocking on the door. when they arrived at the scene fairly charged at them but something tells me that by charge they meant stumbling injured so naturally want to cops fired a stun gun when that failed to stop him another police officer opened fire and killed him but not to be outdone in the police brutality department on the same day in new york city the n.y.p.d. opened fire in times square toward a man pretending to point a gun at officers sort of hitting the crazed man who was later found to be unarmed police struck two female bystanders can serve more like shoot first ask questions later. coming up on our team we had to one of the most inhospitable environments on earth and do stay tuned for that.
