comments twenty four hours a day from this. russian officials are in damascus to work out a plan for syria's chemical weapons surrender un resolution to go along with it isn't ready for members to vote on yet use of force is still a major point of contention for the security council and more questions have also emerged over who carried out a chemical attack in august when russia receiving fresh evidence from the syrian government detailing rebel involvement. 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 full of 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 listed and is fully aware of the consequences in case it doesn't do it russian officials say they received what syrian government calls the evidence that the radical rebels are behind the deadly chemical attack last month that the reportedly killed hundreds of civilians including children and you and 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 their findings clearly states that the sarin taped it 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 behind the city in an interview to r.t. russia's deputy foreign minister said he had a quote who is now in damascus said that a un report is one sided for war distorter. conclusion drawn. we are we. are reaching. on that basis for what we believe at least record. of over that amount of information we're to question when this report was. secured for members or all before we begin talking on what to do next we need to figure out why it is

for a war and why the group. is not growing very little now to syria to continue. some members of the u.s. intelligence community who say that and they warned the white house about that that there are indications that the rebels are behind this attack and also there are indications that they received nerve gas from abroad so do the syrian rebels even have access to chemical weapons a former pentagon official says yes they do show that he what he said was a classified u.s. intelligence document detailing how they could have obtained sarin gas michael new for veal where this compound was produced one you can see house on gas was allegedly manufactured in the rock and then taken to turkey before going on to syria where further documents obtained by him also state that sarin was confiscated from the this were found radicals on these postcards has more now on these tapes.

in may there were reports coming out from suggesting that a two kilogram cylinder of sarin gas was discovered in the homes of syrian opposition rebels connected with al-qaeda through the al nusra front now at the time russia called for an investigation into the reports but. actually denied that the reports were true and said that no such weapons had been found but analyst michael maloof explains that that is indeed a possibility 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 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. well to contact to the pentagon about that leaked document with the defense department so they don't comment on intelligence matters. brazil wants to go to a loner from the global weapon to create its very own cyberspace the decision comes off the n.s.a. spying under the latin american country prompting president do who surf. official

meeting on the record in the u.s. and reported on our reports brazil is determined to ensure its online security. 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 been handled her schedule visit to the white house next month pulling out of what was supposed to be the first of 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 brasilia 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 u.s. 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. . well meanwhile the proposal has rattled in those of the internet giants a recent statement from google said its main fear was not the four lation of privacy and spying the vision of the global network of a brazilian technology experts say it's too early to worry its a plans are far from complete. there is a 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 and 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 moot 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. well coming up to date on the program america's debts timebomb concern grows in congress over the government's inability

to cope spending national debts reaching double crisis levels unless details just ahead. wealthy british. time to plan the free. market. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. on your. face time.

pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. that they're welcome back to the program. nationwide strike by public sector workers entering its third day in greece thousands are protesting against yet more spending cuts for the government planning to slash public sector jobs return to the latest installment of the country's bailout deal with the country's economy. shrunk by almost a quarter since two thousand and eight and a further decline is expected so far greece has received two aid packages totaling

up to two hundred forty billion euros the country still needs ten billion but just to cover a funding gap prime minister antonis samaras promised that greece will be back to pre-crisis levels in six years' time you see reports now from athens certainly a big day here in greece as 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 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 reduced salaries with no guarantee of actually keeping their job 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 the 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. you can catch all the stories we're covering and much more on our website including backing up the discontent the f.b.i. is accused of routinely abusing its power and actively misleading congress more than a decade and you can find the whole story at all to dot com. and it's a very near miss for one australian. catching video. on you tube dot com slash. news today. these are the images the world. canada. giant corporations are rooted a.

u.s. congressional budget say the country's national debt is now he's seventy three percent of g.d.p. well the figure is nearly double the average pre-crisis levels in the highest since world war two the spice of project to decline a federal debt in the coming years known budget office will net debt would still skyrocket two hundred percent of g.d.p. in twenty five years time which also led to a publisher of the trends journal says costly military ventures are partly to blame . we're squandering our resources fighting all of these on where our ball wars 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 it is so you know we even saw the war will make a very bad situation much worse we're going to keep taxing the people just as they

did as the roman empire and 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 sterile measures you know they cut your pensions benefits they raise your taxes so it's a way of keeping it going until the people revolt. or some other news making headlines this hour occupy wall street activists have been back on the streets of downtown new york marking the movement's second anniversary protest as have announced a new goal introduction of a half percent tax on wall street financial transactions police arrested several demonstrators who attempted to block or rode off the first protest camp was set up in twenty eleven rallies swiftly spread to other cities in the u.s. riding a wave of anger of a corporate greed. in two thousand tourists have been airlifted mexico's famous beach resort of acapulco nearly forty thousand visitors

undergoing mental health treatment and had come loose here in voices of the thirty four year old but his convert was killed by police during monday's shooting left twelve others dead. a car bomb attacks in iraq continue to rain terror on already region the country's capital baghdad has been the worst hit at least twenty six deaths on tuesday alone turtle of thirty four people were killed nationwide in shootings the explosions targeting mainly shia neighborhoods past three months in iraq have been the deadliest in the last five years arkwright are attempting to destabilize the shia led government but understand the scale it's a closer look at the recent troubling statistics. a country year hasn't experienced this level of bloodshed in five years there's been a surge in the casualty figures since the start of this year in january terrorist attacks in iraq to the lives of over three hundred civilians. in july just five

months later this number has tripled and jumped to almost a thousand civilian deaths caught in sectarian crossfire. well that however isn't as bad as two thousand and six where relentless sectarian brutality led experts to admit the nation had descended into civil war and in that horrific year over two thousand eight hundred iraqis were killed on average every month if the current trend continues the rate of killing will creep back to the dark days of two thousand and six this was just a brief overview of beer numbers behind which they suffer in the thousands of innocent people. christianity is central place in british culture could be increasingly under threat the church attendance numbers in severe decline while the nation's second largest religion islam is growing faster than ever as some studies suggesting it could eventually become the dominant faith auntie's part of what our story. i 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.'s official religion is declining faster than was previously thought worship as 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 he says wait a minute. they are. what is it the world's going. to be questioned motivation is very very different for different people. very well

bonded families really try to nurture young people in the in the full of islam we have to us and congregation from the young people because we try to dilute the young. 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 period 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 not a question of living 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 of it isn't deemed islamic we would not have ties anything on islamic in the sense that we would have any adverts while called we want having i did was say for example gambling was one of things according to academics in the p.d.s. that islam demands from it's followers that's made it more appealing to wash and converts from other religions islam says no this is no. people find no sense of direction in the because their religion over eighteen has lost that not because that would be them have it in neutral. they certainly became a leading and in the relation to the laws of the church i. think it may be

swayed it would make it to more mellow and softer and i tracked more people into the church and the fact they've lost something that the church of england disagrees with the death of christian england has been greatly exaggerated despite a decade of naysaying and complaining by ses commentators and groups six out of ten people in england self identify as christians a figure which tries to more than two thirds when including people identifying with faith as a whole 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. r.t. . some reports say there are scores of councils operating in britain it's in orissa communications manager the lobby group christian concern is that the proliferation of sharia law in the u.k. could provoke clashes in the legal sphere. the birth rate amongst muslims is

significantly higher i believe and say those those children being brought up going to mosque and putting themselves muslims that there are many younger muslims that if sharia law was going to be enacted which i believe it is in some parts of the country then that that that clashes with british law say british law and in most western democracies there's one law for all but ensure there are three fundamental inequalities one of which is between men and women one is between slave and free and the other is between muslim and non muslim so there will be certainly a backlash in in the in the legal sphere and i think most citizens of of britain would agree that one more for all is a much better principle a much fairer principle. coming up it's obvious to me of breaking the sects in just a few minutes here and out.

of it. i. think. it's. the speed. with which i. mean some good. we. just.

i mean there are. the. guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so yesterday that medical woke up to yet another mass killing spree right here in washington d.c. in the coming days you'll probably hear the same superficial debate playing out across the corporate media the n.r.a. will blame it on anything but guns in the far left will demonize the entire gun holding population but considering how the us is policed itself as the military capital the world cup is no surprise that many americans have chosen to militarize themselves their eighty nine firearms per one hundred people in this country nearly

twice as many guns per capita than the next highest gun toting nation for every one hundred thousand people in the us more than three will die of the hand of a gun by far the highest rate in industrialized world so what's to blame and so unique problem and one that requires a more thoughtful analysis of how and why these things happen here in america and it begs the question just how many more mass shootings will we have to endure so this debate is fueled by reality and not politics. the but. it was a. very hard to take that. long. have you ever had sex with that perfect they're looking. for the.

september seventeenth two thousand and eleven or the wake of the financial collapse people were losing their homes and on able to pay their debts part of the top one percent remained completely unaffected so on that day americans decided to stand up to corporate greed and let wall street bankers know that it's time for real change . that. view.
