life from moscow you're watching r t with me to van with a it's good to have you company with us of a softer new and to our top story now. russian officials lying damascus to hammer out an action plan for syria's chemical disarmament in line with a deal to avert u.s. air strikes the intervention threats followed last month sarin gas attack to blame why was some policy on the assad regime and russia says of this now fresh evidence implicating syrian rebels in that war crime a correspondent maria financial 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

a week in the meeting 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 awards 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 and you and probe a 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 you investigate this although their findings clearly states that the sorry empty

warheads could have been amateur made north factor 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 they're ready. syrian rebels are behind the truck city in an interview to r.t. russia's deputy foreign minister said he had a quote who is now in damascus said. that's a u.n. report a one sided for it was distorted with things conclusions that were drawn by experts not for decision we made by the ways how easy some for reaching analysis has been previews them on the basis for what we

believe these rather vague fictions about amount of information with those cherry questions which were in the three four tours discussed among security council members before we begin talking on what to do next we need to figure out why it is and why the group you're an expert is not going. to syria to continue investigation of some members of the u.s. intelligence community who say that and they will and the white house about that that the right indications that the rebels are behind this attack and also there are indications that they received no guys from abroad. meanwhile a prominent syrian blogger known as black mary's place the footage allegedly showing chemical weapons being used by rebels let's get the details now from our correspondent paul start in the city with me paul what do we know about this

footage well as you mentioned there the blogger is a staunch critic of damascus in the storage critic of president bashar al assad's regime and in the past he's monitored all sorts of new sources and claims and counterclaims that are emerging from the syrian civil war to use it as a stick to beat the assad government with and implicate assad in all sorts of atrocities but it's interesting now that he's posted a video on this blog that suggests that actually it could be the syrian opposition that have been using these chemical weapons it represents a slight shift in focus for what's the narrative that the blog has been taking in recent weeks. so there's a broader. blog that we've just seen where we're talking about what our expert saying about a way that rebels could have potentially acquired these chemical weapons well although the authenticity of the video that has appeared on this blog has yet to be as yet to be verified this ingestion being that if the rebels have indeed got their hands on chemical weapons than it has come from from neighboring countries in and

around syria now of course you remember in may in turkey there were claims in the turkish press that. extremists linked with the al nusra front of course connected with al qaida had their homes raided and. some sarin gas was was found to be in their possession now that was initially rejected that was denied by encourage denied by turkey but this gesture is from the former pentagon officials that there's evidence suggests that chemical weapons have been smuggled to these extremists to the opposition from neighboring countries and in particular turkey. there with the details on what this syrian blogger is saying something that. we know that mr maloof one of our experts did say that this could be a potential site coming from the syrian opposition or radical opposition let's just listen to what many have had to say i have. a report from

a source who has direct connections with. classified information and he basically told me that 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. 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 makes it much more problematic for this

administration. it was r t has requested an official response from the pentagon on that the lead document but the department of defense or simply said it refuses to comment on matters of intelligence this in with r.t. for the latest on this developing story on air and online of course we're also keep us posted as to what he finds out in his investigation on this. by brazil is moving to fracture the world wide web in response to revelations on n.s.a. secret surveillance which have also come to present a dilma rousseff to core of her visit to the united states south america's largest country now in to create its own cyber space are overreach of the american secret services archies marina partner has the 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 who has canceled her scheduled visit to the white house next month and pulling out of

what was supposed to be the first official state visit of u.s. president barack obama's second term it would have also been the first for a brazilian president in nearly two decades in addition to breaking dates for cilia is also taking steps to divorce itself from the u.s. centric internet while seeking its own sovereignty in cyberspace president rousseff has ordered a series of measures aimed at greater brazilian online independence including storing citizens data locally to protect from n.s.a. snooping according to reports the brazilian government is also planning to lay underwater fiber optic cable directly to europe and also link to all south american nations currently most of brazil's global internet traffic passes through the united states now experts say if other nations follow in brazil's footsteps the us cloud computing industry which stores data remotely could lose tens of billions of

dollars in business by two thousand and sixteen brazil's path towards internet sovereignty follows revelations that the n.s.a. intercepted president rousseff communications hacked into the network of the state owned oil company and spied on brazilians in trusting their personal information to u.s. companies like facebook and google president rousseff says she intends to push for a new international rules on privacy and security in hardware and software next week when all the heads of state gather in new york for the u.n. general assembly on tuesday the brazilian leader is set to open the u.n. g.a. debates and her u.s. counterpart president obama is set to take the stage immediately afterwards reporting from new york marina r.t. and while experts agree that the world wide web is on the verge of major changes due to the n.s.a. leaks someone that the innovations are rushed and with on paper planning. there is

huge criticism down here in brazil on the on this proposal the fact is the government wants to offer brazilian internet users a stronger protection for their privacy the government realized that it could be a way to do it that's a great opportunity not only for brazil but for many countries to really take a stand on internet governance and really try to understand how the future of the internet in communications as a whole will end up coming out of this huge scandal about the n.s.a. leaks so internet freedom has being like the flagship the trademark of all discourse from the u.s. government when it deals with and with internet governance well now that you have a situation like this one is clearly momentum that is building up for brazil for other countries in the global south and for other countries as well to really take a stand on that and try to come up with forbearers solution in

a way which you could in a truly moved stakeholder way discuss the future of the internet because it's clear that the way that we are going now it allowed a situation like this one that we had with the n.s.a. and that's certainly something that created a huge impact for a number of fundamental rights and it is definitely a good opportunity to discuss and to reflect upon a new way to do with internet governance. and still ahead this hour reshaping the religious lens cable while christianity itself is a deep decline in the u.k. islam is gaining allies like never before putting it on the way to becoming the country's dominant religion we'll have more on this story right after this. well not talking about language but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. pollution and no i will leave them to stay partly to comment on your

latter point. safe. to carry every car is on the job here no heart. radio no more weasel words. when you say to direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for our. freedom of speech little doubt the freedom to. write the same. first strike. and i would think that you're. on our reporters were very. inspiring. to me and.

i. welcome back you're watching our live off from moscow on a five day nationwide strike by public sector workers in greece is now entering day three with thousands flooding the streets to vent their anger over address exchange spending cuts now the country's economy has shrunk by almost a quarter since two thousand and eight and four cars indicate a further decline in the cea and despite having received two mess of bailout packages from international lenders appen still needs about ten billion euros more all to close a funding gap meanwhile prime minister antonis samaras has admitted that in greece the will need six more years to return to pre-crisis living standards. and of reports from the greek capital. certainly a big day here in greece of some of the largest protests crowds hit the streets and thousands of schoolteachers have walked off the job on monday those protests resulted in some clashes of with the police doctors follow suit on tuesday and some

of the largest public sector unions are joining in today's in fact many secondary schools and universities remain shut around the country now what they're furious about is the latest round of austerity measures greece is due to move or temporarily slashed the salaries of some twenty five thousand workers in addition to cutting thousands of jobs by the end of the year now workers will either have to accept new posts or spend months working on reduce our use with no guarantee of actually keeping their jobs and this is of course in exchange for the next installment of its much needed rescue loans now this is a country that's and that's been in recession for six years in a row and while the economy is still shrinking many here say that they're simply tired of austerity tired of feeling like they're the ones paying for the mistakes made by governments and banks in p. previous years now the country has gotten two hundred forty billion euros worth of help in two separate bailouts so far but the problem is that it's still unclear

whether it can stand on its own and that of course is cold comfort to greeks who see more austerity in their future and we have to keep in mind here on employment is nearing thirty percent two out of three young people are out of work and at sixty four percent youth unemployment that's the highest on the continent we also are hearing according to a new report that suicide rates have increased by forty five percent in the first four years of the greek financial crisis that number set to rise and some radical right wing groups have also been able to effectively gain more support so a very mixed picture for the people on the ground and certainly it doesn't look like the protests are going to seize any time soon. more details on how the greeks so coping what they have been economic realities on r g a dog calm also a bit of for you a concrete just across the water that's home. some of the world's largest oil reserves is also crying out for cash find out what's happening in libya on a website. that i meet here that landed earlier this year outside she had been

skiing in russia's year olds has given birth she want looks like a new religion to find out what all the fuss is about that you are dot com. right to see. her street. and i think you're. on our reporters were very. instrumental. in the. america's debt bomb is taking congressional budget analysis on voicing a llama over the government's failure to rein in spending which is pushing that the national debt up to seventy three percent of g.d.p. double the two thousand and seven level general cilento the publisher of trends

journal says america's costly military venture is partly to blame we're squandering our resources fighting all of these unwinnable wars that never end and so the nation is going down economically ninety seven percent of the jobs that have been created this year ninety seven percent are part time jobs you're looking at this so no we even saw the war will make a very bad situation much worse they going to keep taxing the people just as they did as the roman empire. they tax the people more and it's not only the states by the way look what they did throughout europe they called it or sterrett it measures you know they cut your pensions benefits they raise your taxes. so it's a way of keep going until the people revolt. and a world update this hour car bomb attacks continue to wreak devastation in iraq the

country's capital has on the brunt of the latest violence with at least twenty six deaths and choose day alone a total of thirty four people were killed nationwide in shootings and car bombings targeting mainly shia neighborhoods the past few months in iraq have been the deadliest in five years with al qaida fighting to destabilize a shia led government the country has an experience of this level of bloodshed for five years there's been a surge in casualty figures since the start of this year in general and terrorist attacks in iraq took the lives of over three hundred civilians but in july that number or was tripled taking into account fatalities among security personnel it exceeded the benchmark of one thousand deaths in one month and that however isn't yet as bad as it wasn't due thousand and six when soaring sick tarion violence lead experts to admit the nation was going through civil war in that horrific year over two thousand eight hundred iraqis were killed on average every month.

in the south one man died after being struck by a rock throwing by a opposition right. how far government's prepared to go to keep critics say it turns out bad raney's of all g.'s even children are valid targets of human rights watch claim security forces they routinely round up threaten and abuse children suspected of participating in anti government activities the group's press release says there is evidence from victims family members and local rights activists the young people in bahrain suffer the same brutality as adult detainees nicholas who is one of the authors obviously meant reveal some of the disturbing details. it's part of a broader crackdown on the 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 is a failure to distinguish between child detainees and adults so the children are

mistreated in the same manner as as i don't i think the most alarming and 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 outside 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. christan is a central place in british culture is looking increasingly under threat with church attendance numbers and constant decline meanwhile the nation's second largest religion islam is going faster than ever with some studies suggesting it's on the way to becoming the dominant faith artist pilar boyko has the story. half of brits

say they're christians but you wouldn't know it glancing at this london service. the. world. over new figures show that the u.k. is official religion is declining faster than was previously thought worshippers a raging and for the first time ever fewer than half under the age of twenty five 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 nothing he says wait a man. what is it the world's going. to be questioned motivation to do is very very different for different people family

values are very well bonded and families really try to nurture young people in the in the full of islam we have been for to us in congregation from the young people because we try to see issues so they feel part of the mosque establishment religious think tank the pew forum estimates that if present trends continue the muslim population of the u.k. will swell to almost double within twenty years totaling five and a half million according to these figures it means that by twenty thirty britain will have. more muslims than kuwait it's projects such as this community based muslim radio station that could provide the clue as to why the religion is flourishing in the u.k. in that brute's deejays who call themselves brothers and sisters talk about local issues in education from the point of view of islam inspire started out as

a special transmission during the holy month of ramadan it became so popular that it was established as a permanent radio station it's actually a lot of pressure a lot of the movie becomes an islamic ethos but we won't do anything which is deemed a non islamic on their hands the musical and one may question by the five top of the of the music that we play on the radio station we won't have your mainstream music playing on every cause so what majority would isn't deemed islamic we would not wear ties anything on islam in the sense that we were not well called we 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 this is no. people find a sense of the action in the because their religion already jean has lost that not because that would be them have. they sort of became a leading and interlace into the laws of the church. i think in this

way you do good to make it more mellow and softer and i tracked 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. it's time. to see london. next r.t. follows the lives of three such as an explorer us on the frozen following continent stay with us here on our tails each mark.
