brush along the western powers against jumping to conclusions over u.n. report on last month's keppel chemical attack in syria which found that say real gas was indeed used but stopped short of naming a culprit. the rampage at a heavily guarded military facility in washington d.c. sent shock waves throughout the nation and raises a deep security concerns. also r.t.d. has exclusive inside into the life of a fugitive whistleblower edward snowden in russia months after his revelations on american global surveillance ship cruel world.

it's eleven am here in the russian capital you live with us on our team here with me to mom would say let's take a look at our top story this hour. russia has stress that the 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. and britain and france have been quick to claim the report is enough to implicate the assad government the white house insists the rockets used in the attack could only have belonged to loyalist forces however the u.n. findings state that the sereno tipped a warheads and may have been improvised and the report did not pinpoint the signs from where they were launched and residential areas off damascus or in i want my 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 on august twenty first but the report does not answer the key question of who launched the top russian

ambassador to the united nations batali turk and says that allegations that the syrian opposition used chemical weapons should not be frogged off i think some colleagues jumped to their conclusions when they were saying that this substance report definitively proves that it was the government forces who used the chemical weapons in the. first of all we haven't even had 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 want to talk site individuals arrived carrying other suspected munitions indicating that such potential evidence could have been moved or possibly manipulated the report 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 to that you know you have this scenario of the use of chemical weapons on august twenty one by the government forces they are fighting 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 the opposition groups is it even said equally possible to fire five or six rockets against your opponent. have missed the targets you want to specter's help included 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 it 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 nineteen. 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 have warned the white house about intelligence reports from the war zone indicating that radical rebel factions are in possession of chemical weapons one of them pentagon veteran michael maloof gave r.t.

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 expecting 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 crn 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 opposition so 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 britain and the u.s. pushing for strong drive to enforce the chemical to some men deal brokered by moscow as well as washington international envoy to syria left a but a he may help mediate that agreement and spoke to r.t. about the ramifications. 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 is now become clear just

how constructive an affective the role of these two countries can be there is no military solution for the syrian crisis we must find a political solution so with article the latest on syria and you can also get more details and the medicines on our website at r.t. dot com right m.s. shooting at one of the various heavily guarded military facilities in the us capital has left thirteen people dead including the gunmen police are saying of the attack i used a valid pause to access washington navy yard the possibility of a terrorist attack has not been ruled out artie's a sense sex is in 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 describe the scene shot starting side the building and building one hundred seven i was not there i heard this and shots there inside the building i know it was on the fourth floor when i documented the building myself and other gentlemen were in the alley behind that building and that's what 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 is it where we could be took care of is for is like contacting spouses family members with. the 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 scream to get in and you know we thought to be on the seven vironment but again not on come on you know outside in d.c. area because we had a military zone but for that to happen is quite unfortunate it's believe 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. president obama has lamented yet another mass shooting calling it a cowardly act the country's seen numerous of numerous recent gun attacks about the latest rampage is of the deadliest at a military facility in four yes in the level two thousand and nine and army

psychiatrist killed thirteen people and injured thirty two more in a rampage at fort hood texas two years later twelve people lost their lives in a mass shooting at a movie theater in aurora colorado and listen six months off to that adam lanza shot his mother did before entering sandy hook elementary school and killing twenty six most of whom would children in march of this year another shooting spree at a military base left three dead including the attacker who opened fire on fellow service personnel a few months later an unemployed twenty three year old killed five people including his own father in the ascent up want to come political analyst gordon duff says that such incidents highlight the major flaws in america's security system the issue we have i think is that we have a massive amount of security in places where it's highly visible where the threats are really very very low they're done for appearance sake only. america is

a key is a country with maybe two hundred million or more privately owned weapons. the idea of increasing security in the united states the people are very much against it they're tired of twelve years of being followed cataloged wiretapped apparently all our mail being read. people are tired of that and there is no amount of violence that's going to bring the american people to a point where they're going to want more government more watching more security more big brother. and in just a couple of minutes from now he on our t.v. learn how the financier whistleblower edward snowden is adapting to his new life in russia. temporary refuge from american prosecution or has that story after the break.

thanks for staying with us here on our t.v. it's been a month since edward snowden received temporary asylum in russia but so far little is known about his circumstances and he hasn't yet been spotted by the media r.t. spoke exclusively to the lawyer assisting the n.s.a. whistleblower or yeah i discuss the details of that interview with r.t. is lindsay friends so where is snowden well that's the question everyone wants answered as quickly as possible there was word when he left the airport initially that he was actually staying with american friends so we sat down with anatoly could try to know which is to be a lawyer assisting him ever since he got here in russia we asked him that very question and this is what he has to say. it is impossible at the moment to reveal where he's living we'll talk openly about it we believe the danger remains quite high what sort of danger do you mean well what you have to understand is that he's being persecuted by a major power the us government and we fear that they could be some very serious

consequences even within the russian territory you mean they can chase and catch him here in russia. i don't think that is going to happen but we saw american special forces intervening in other countries also with regards to our own citizens they get detained to broaden transfer to u.s. territory this he go out of course he does he walks he can travel he enjoys traveling and he's interested in our history has he been recognized in the streets or while he was traveling you know he hasn't been recognized not so far ok so he hasn't been recognized on the street so far but he is paying for his own private security team to watch out for him and his father is reportedly coming to visit him very serious gotta get all the paperwork taken care of so there we go speaking of security there was talk of him getting a job here so i'm guessing that he must be getting some kind of funding somewhere how's that going on for him i mean does he have any office on the table do we know

that well there's plenty of offers the question is will it be a book deal that he takes up will it be a work as a program or will it be a talk show who knows we asked about this specifically and here's what he told us he's still receiving a huge number of offices and people are writing to him and calling the offer assistance because they understand that this man needs to settle here he also gets calls from business executives from different companies who want to give up have there been any offers which surprised you. yes there was a woman about fifty years old just. are from are pretty amusing yeah as you can imagine an adoption office pretty amusing and also when he was in the airport he was also getting marriage proposals from women here and as you can imagine any business executive it would increase the public attention on their company if edward started work to take a job there but that does mention that he is very interested in that snowden is interested in doing human rights activism here in russia especially in light of

what brought him here to begin with so we'll be watching that closely of course has more you can also watch the full exclusive interview with her not to leave because she had to now the lawyers distinguish the blue edward snowden next week here on our team. right germany will be electing a new parliament this weekend and it's promising to be a close race with no party heading for an outright majority coalition talks are likely and the outside affection may have a decisive influence on what the wooden stuff looks like come next week r.t. the people of attended a rally of one of the parties there that is now unexpectedly 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 and shaping what the country does politically over the next few years no the most recent polls ahead of the elections next sunday suggest 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 to night editions of grace and you to ration your needs i can you show off 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's 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 a 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 governments draw the line when it comes to keeping descendants under control that it turns out for the buck raney authority your children are fair game on our website we tell you how young people are getting on the wrong side of the regime. also online over the past month so we've been

receiving sweet and alarming updates from japan's crippled fukushima nuclear power plant and now mother nature could evolve to make matters even worse than the details that are to. the to. right the sea. search tree. and i think the tree. on our reporters we're going to. instruct. them. in other international news at this hour in greece that teachers and school guards have launched a five day strike in the state spending cuts some of the demonstrators were targeted every day gets as they try to approach a government building on going public sector. meeting bailout conditions imposed by

foreign predators the rallies come ahead of an inspection later this month by officials from the european commission and the international monetary fund. thanks military forces in the sweltering philippines have freed more than seventy hostages after launching a helicopter attack on muslim rebels insurgents have occupied large parts of a gamble on the city for more than a week forcing thousands of people to flee their homes around a hundred rebels we will arrest a truly dangerous clash. still believed to be holed up in the main rebel faction the more islamic liberation front has vowed to create a breakaway state in the region. a group of lawyers and former army offices in egypt has launched a petition urging the military chief to run for president the goal is to collect thirty million signatures to convince general abdel fattah el-sisi she gave in to

what the organizers describe as overwhelming populist the fall of two months after the else said egypt's first elected president mohamed morsi massive protests against the coup then swept through egypt almost a falzon people died in the bloody crackdown on dissent. so the winds groups have been raising the alarm in the u.s. where over the weekend police officers opened fire on civilians in two different states. intakes of the issue and they made breaking the set right here at eleven thirty g.m.t. . well 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 feral 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 an armed police truck two female bystanders can serve more like shoot first ask questions later. up next if the kinds of reports. we've talked before about people getting in trouble throughout the usa just for

gardening in fact according to the christian science monitor a couple of florida has been fined five hundred dollars a day until they dig up their vegetable garden which is on their own property and mediately people who write these articles draw comparisons to communist russia where people weren't allowed to grow their own food on last night's state allowed it yes the revolutionary period in russia forced agriculture to change rapidly and often against the will of many of those involved and this did lead to starvation revolution isn't fun but what about after that well stalin and khrushchev gave out a lot of documents which are private summer houses where people guard and also there were markets in the soviet union where people could bring the food they grew to sell to see all these pictures behind me these are people in the soviet union selling food they produced privately and legally but there were some moments in soviet history when there were some taxes placed on the sale of your personal goods from your personal labor which according to russian website history of taxes was around ten percent whether you love or hate communism more than anything doesn't

matter this half truth about shooting soviet gardeners burns like wildfire on the american side of the internet the real truth is that in fact when the us government for every reason in various forms clamps down on private gardens it isn't the same as communism but it's actually technically worse than communism for the majority of its lifespan where you could guard it up as you like excluding the brutal revolutionary period but that's just my opinion. on the way. and talk to the crew of the i can to make sure that if face many challenges. here you have to look out for yourself crashing on to rocks trapped in pack ice in extreme conditions anything can happen and dr hill always comes up with surprises you have to keep your eyes open because if 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. i know c.n.n. m s m b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close enough for the truth and might think. it's because one call attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. at our teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny

i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you got us into the job we'll handle things that. biomass guys are welcome to because the report of the second to begin with greg palast tells stuff about larry summers the most evil financial terrorist in the world but first let's catch up on world war money staging over yes max there's kind of an official denial that the u.s. engages in economic espionage statement by the director of national intelligence james r. clapper on allegations of economic espionage it is not

a secret he said max that the intelligence community collects information about economic and financial matters and terrorist financing this is because all this n.s.a. information has been released that they're collecting information not only on american citizens and foreign citizens but also on corporations and banks and financing centers all around the world he says we collect this information from many important reasons for one it could provide the united states and our allies early warning of international financial crises which could negatively impact the global economy and also could provide insight into other countries economic policy or behavior which could affect global markets right economic. infrastructure surrounding the government wall street to conduct economic espionage in the wake of nine eleven it gets back to how do you define terrorism in america the definition of terrorism is if you kill a bank or anybody else gets killed it's a crime but if you kill a banker that's terrorism trust me it's not low.
