a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on r.g.p. live with us with me to bomb would say let's take a look at our top story this hour. russian officials in damascus are going to hammer out an action plan for syria's chemical disarmament in line with a deal to avert a u.s. military intervention those threats followed last month's gas attack could lead by western powers on the assad regime but russia says it does not fresh evidence implicating syrian rebels in that war crime because one of the area for national is in damascus with the latest. russia's deputy foreign minister is now in damascus to discuss the deal that moscow and washington agreed on earlier in geneva code into which syria has to destroy or remove its chemical weapons by me two thousand and fourteen and before and that is maybe even more important hand over

a full list of its stockpiles with the a week of in the mix with the syrian foreign minister russia's diplomat said that the talks were constructive and that damascus understands the importance of this listing and is fully aware of the consequences in case it doesn't do it because it was agreed that if syria fails to comply the deal could be enforced by a u.n. resolution backed by the threat of sanctions or military force russian officials say they received what syrian government calls the evidence that the radical rebels are behind the deadly chemical attack last month that reportedly killed hundreds of civilians including children a u.n. probe recently confirmed that sarin gas was indeed used here in syria but it didn't answer the question exactly who was responsible for that although that this is a very important question also a location from where the rockets were launched was neither pinpoint by u.n.

investigators although their findings clearly states that the sarin team warheads could have been amateur made north effect you could use but despite all this these questions that still remain open in this case u.s. and its allies were very quick to claim that this u.n. report was enough to blame the assad government for this attack last month this is something russia is strongly opposed to on the contrary saying that the reason mounting evidence that the ready. syrian rebels are behind the troll city in an interview to r.t. russia's deputy foreign minister said to get a call who is now in damascus said. that u.n. report is one sided for or story. from our reporters are not we are really sorry that we.

are reaching. for what we believe is record. of over the amount of information we're probably several questions were reported. among. remember there will be a war or we begin talking on what we need to. worry and worry the group or you're. not rolling there's no year period to continue for. some members of the u.s. intelligence community who say that and they warned the white house about that that the raw indications that the rebels are behind this attack and also there are indications that they received nerve gas from abroad meanwhile and limited food appeared online allegedly showing syria in a jihadist wearing gas masks and firing rockets and. shells

in the middle of the night and this video was said to be short on the twenty first of august the date of that attack that killed many civilians and provoked huge international residents but of course this video is very had to be very fired and still the route many questions in this story and this is why most is calling for a full and complete u.n. investigation in order to determine exactly who is responsible for the attack here in syria last month. pentagon veteran michael maloof says there's evidence to suggest chemical weapons have been smuggled to al qaeda linked extremists in syria from neighboring turkey. 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 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 r.t. has requested an official response from the pentagon on that lead to document what the department of defense is simply said it refuses to comment on the matters of intelligence stay with r.t. for the latest on this developing story on a day and online. brazil's president has called off her visit to the united states' interest wants to washington's refusal to take action against the n.s.a. the surveillance practices that's comes after was a blow edward snowden revealed that the latin american nation is being spied on by american operatives with personal communications from ordinary citizens and even president dilma rousseff a self being intercepted artist marina has a story. as the n.s.a. spying scandal continues to undermine america's global standing one u.s. ally is not willing to forgive and forget brazilian president dilma rousseff has

described themselves as christian the decline of churches in the u.k. is a long term it just happens to be now approaching really rock bottom so ninety five percent of people don't attend church on an average sunday while the church of england struggles the office for national statistics says that the number of muslims in england and wales has surged by seventy five percent and their young half of british muslims are under the age of twenty five and not in the same way a man in the world they are with what is it the world's going. to be questioned motivation to is very very different for different people family values are very well blended families really try to nurture young people in the in the fall of islam we have to assume congregations from the young people because we try to see issues so they feel part of the mosque establishment religious think tank

playing on there because the majority would isn't deemed slummy we would not have toys anything on islam in the sense that. you want having i did was say for example gambling was one of things according to academics it's the b.d.'s that islam demands from its followers that's made it more appealing to worshippers and converts from other religions islam says no. no. people find a sense of direction in the because their religion over a gene has lost not because that you didn't have it. they sort of became believe me and interlace into the laws of the church. think you believe this way they want to make it to more mellow and softer and attract more people into the church and in fact they've lost something that the church of england disagrees with.

they claim that the death of christian england has been greatly exaggerated and that the statistics don't reflect the true faith of the population and yet there are demographers that say that if current trends continue islam could eclipse christianity as the dominant religion in the u.k. in as little as ten years' time. pretty boy. i'll be back with more news in about half an hour from now first though our team takes you way down silva to see the natural wonders of antarctica. well mo told him a language of what i will only react to situations i have read the reports of. the pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter part of the month to say it is mr k.l.a.
