no u.n. resolution on syria's chemical disarmament should allow the use of force according to russia's foreign minister who tells his french colleague he wants more pressure on the syrian opposition to join peace talks. and. a mass shooting in the u.s. capitol leaves thirteen dead of the lone gunman targeting a heavily guarded naval facility the motives behind the attack is still unclear. and speaks exclusively to the lawyer of whistleblower edward snowden we pieced together the details of the fugitive everything in life months after his revelations lifted the veil on the n.s.a. sweeping the snooping activities.

life last two days here in moscow you're with. russia and france both want progress in syria's chemical disarmament haven't yet agreed on how to get the country's top diplomats failed to reach a consensus on a u.n. resolution on syria meeting paris once the document to allow the use of force by russia doesn't pull scott has mona. the tone of the press conference was really rather interesting with both sides stressing and highlighting their similarities rather than their differences both sides saying that their objectives for syria are the same that is peace in the country brought about by diplomatic diplomatic and political means the only difference really seems to be how to get there and in particular the wording of this u.n. security council resolution of the united nations will try and find common ground

and try and agree on a resolution that would really give legal and binding support to the deal that was agreed in principle between moscow and washington in geneva over the weekend this is the deal that syria has also agreed to it would see damascus disclose and declare that chemical weapons stockpile by the end of the week and have it destroyed by the middle of next year now the usa the u.k. and france of course suggesting that the threat of military intervention and sanction should remain on the table if damascus fails to comply with this resolution however russia says this is counterproductive and are necessary and only if damascus fails to comply only then should be issued and taken back to the u.n. security council or not before the threats of military intervention and sanctions should not be included in the. resolution that the other topics that were discussed by the foreign ministers in moscow on tuesday included the possibility of a geneva two conference where both sides in the syrian conflict get around the

table and try and discuss a way a peaceful resolution to the end of the conflict now russia says they can get representatives that representatives from the syrian government around the table however the opposition are unlikely to do so without the precondition that president bashar al assad stands down but at the moment that looks extremely unlikely. and when he when the reports which came out on monday confirm that chemical weapons were used in syria last month it doesn't say who carried out the attack u.s. britain and france all think the information the document points. syrian government so far says russia's ambassador to the u.n. charlie churkin russia believes rebel involvement should be investigated to the origin of the sarin the buckets that were used and where they were launched from. one question which i sort of wondered out loud about in the course of consultations and there was no answer to that you know you have the scenario of the use of chemical weapons on august twenty one by the government forces they are fighting

with opposition armed groups and they fire a number of rockets with chemical weapons. trying to get to those armed opposition groups and there are no casualties in the in the armed opposition groups is it even stereotypically possible to fire five or six rockets against your opponent and have all of them missed the targets michael maloof had worked for the u.s. defense department in a thirty years he showed us what he claims is a classified u.s. intelligence report indicating that al qaeda linked rebels from their own this were front were in possession of sarin gas documents also states that the poison could have been used in an attack on syria's largest city aleppo in march. 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 c 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 opposition so the ability to be able to. distinguish who gets what and where is going to makes it much more problematic for this administration. meanwhile a car bomb has exploded in syria at

a checkpoint to the country's border with turkey there's no word on casualties as yet but at least a dozen people have been taken to hospital we'll bring you more on that as we get it. and as for what's going on in syria on our web site right now we're reporting about the bomber administration waving a federal law provisions no to supply the syrian rebels dot com for more on that. a mass shooting at a heavily guarded u.s. naval command center has left thirteen people dead including the gunman himself the shooter is believed to be a former navy reservist so it's still unclear what drove him to carry out the attack on some sex reports. 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 witnesses describe the scene shots start inside the building and building one hundred seven i was not there i heard this and shots there inside a 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 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. wish they could home an area here is it where we could be took care of those boards 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 on the seven vironment but again not on come on you know outside in this area because we had a military zone but for that to happen is quite unfortunate to 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 sachs our to. our present obama has described the latest attack as a cowardly act meanwhile the. the u.s. has witnessed numerous scud attacks in recent years in november two thousand and nine thirteen people were killed and thirty two injured in

a rampage carried out by an army psychiatrist at fort hood texas two years later twelve people were shot dead when a gunman entered a movie theater in aurora colorado in less than six months after that adam lanza attacked the sandy hook elementary school killing twenty six mostly children and in march 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 santa monica the latest shooting left the country's capital in turmoil government facilities and schools were placed on lockdown and flights suspended from a nearby airport the targeted naval command centers just blocks away as we can see here from capitol hill and the white house of course on this map which reveals that now political analyst gordon duff says that such incidents highlight 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 it 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 catalog 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. coming up later in the program a u.s. skeptic group may play

a key role in jamie's upcoming elections and amman in the chances of the merkel's party and allies will move government coalition details and feelings. told him a language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from . the pollution and no i will leave that to stapling to comment on you let him play to say. ok because i. think you know more weasel words. when you fade a direct question he prepared for a chase when you run should be ready for a. pretty speech. and the freedom to cast.

dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces changing the world right now. to picture of the day's news. on demand from around the globe. local. to me. the human rights watch claims there's evidence that bahraini security forces routinely detain and abuse children suspected of participating in anti-government protests that's according to a press release issued today and here we have a quote from that says that information recently obtained from victims' family members and local rights activists suggest that bahraini authorities often hold children for long periods in detention and subject them to similar forms of

mistreatment as adult detainees including beatings and threats of torture nicholas mckeon one of the authors of this news report told us that some of the alarming details. it's part of a broader cracked bone on society an arbitrary detentions are very common mistreatment and detention is common and it often rises to the level of torture what we found is that there was a failure to distinguish between child detainees and adults so the children are mistreated in the same manner as as are those i think the most alarming the serenading issues referring to in this brief research that we conducted was the children being threatened with rape children being threatened with electrocution and children being beaten one point. beating at state of a police station was only stopped or lessened when a senior officer was brought onto the bus and he reportedly said beat them but do it quietly the evidence that we produced would appear to be perhaps only the tip of

the iceberg unfortunately a month has already passed since russia granted asylum to the gist of american whistleblower edward snowden he hasn't been seen in public since then or any details of his current life veals a colleague it's about what's a spoke to auntie's lindsey france for more on the history that. so where is the 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 kuchera now which is his lawyer assisting him ever since he got here in russia we asked him that very question and this is what he had to say. it is impossible at the moment to reveal where he's living will talk openly about we believe the danger remains quite high what sort of danger do you mean. if you know that well which is what you have to understand is that he's being persecuted by a major power in the u.s. government and we fear that they could use some very serious consequences. for kim

it was even within the russian territory i mean they can chase and catch you're in russia if you don't you know i don't think that is going to happen but we saw american special forces intervening in other countries is going to also with regards to our own citizens they get detained abroad and transferred to u.s. attorney. this he. of course you don't he walks he can travel he enjoys traveling and he's interested in our history has he been recognised in the streets were while he was travelling 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 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. 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. yes there was a woman about fifty years old who called and suggested snowden i found that pretty amusing yet 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 i could china 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 let's all be watching that closely. that was just a preview of our exclusive interview with the lawyer assisting others though you can catch it in full next week here not. germany will be electing a new parliament this weekend it's promising to be a close race no party heading for an outright majority coalition talks are likely without sign of factions possibly having a decisive influence on what the bill in the start looks like come next week or tease piece of attended a rally of one of the parties 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 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 her 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 grange and you to ration you need i can you show off if you change everything so he's ok i'm just going to you will the next four years as much as this is being

a good campaign for alternative for germany it has been a horrific thought for anglo 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 for 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. on air and online head to our web site for more including following in french footsteps as paris models have been religious symbols

fairly hard 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 them 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 that hit in the crazed man who was later found to be an armed police truck two female bystanders protect and serve more like shoot first ask questions later. on its way you know well it's a part of the sun a boy that's just a couple. we've

talked before about people getting in trouble throughout the u.s. city 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 immediately people who write these articles draw comparisons to communist russia where people weren't allowed to grow their own food unless the 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 doctors which are private summer houses where people garden. 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. polls are my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. the petition to the new i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point say. ok because on the top you know.

welcome to worlds apart do you think human rights council has just been presented with a new report detailing widespread war crimes and crimes against humanity in syria a while many of the listed atrocities seem to be deliberate in nature the report also stated that the most civilian deaths resulted from indiscriminate shelling by both sides isn't the war itself the biggest crime perpetrated against the syrian people and it's saw who should shoulder the blame well to discuss that i'm now joined by a tweet you want to born a member of the un independent commission that led this inquiry i really appreciate your time sir now if i'm not mistaken this is the tonsil reported that your commission issued on syria and reading them is becoming increasingly more difficult of the footage and the testimonies of that chelsea's are getting more and more brutal by the month but without wishing to sound callous i wonder if it's something

to be expected when the world it seems is still bound on continuing with this war this war is still being fueled from the outside the report that just came out is the eleventh report of the committee. inquiry on the syrian arab republic the mandate of the commission covers violations of human rights and international military law that's warfare and the rules of conduct in warfare particularly covering the plight of civilians and that's what we aim for very much in terms of central a c. of coverage with a view to identifying those responsible in terms of accountability and sadly the situation is still it's a very devastating situation and the killings the torture missed a month of our sorry for jumping in but i want to show you just mentioned that the station is getting increasingly more desperate and increasingly more dangerous but

i wonder if it could have been different really because what would be an alternative to committing war crimes in a war zone the only alternative i can think of would be not having this war at all so i would like to ask you could you cite any specific example maybe from the recent history of a war conducted in a good way in accordance with the laws of war i think the whole point of what we call him a terran law is to have some rules of conduct that benefit everyone including the fighters and of course particular civilian so principles and rules such as we must distinguish between military objects military personnel and civilians and so we shouldn't shoot civilian personnel and objects while of course the conduct between the military continues that principle of. principle against discriminant attacks or indiscriminate attacks that have.
