the u.n. security council agrees a landmark deal on syria's chemical disarmament that permanent members reaching a consensus for the first time since the start of the bloody conflict vote is expected on friday. peace campaigners will remain in custody for two more months while their attempt to board an offshore russian oil rig is investigated activists could be charged with piracy. and the poll suggests the majority in britain support a ban on muslim women covering up using burkas and kneecapped this debate over traditional religious clothings sparks back into life.

for moscow twenty four hours a day this is. the un security council's permanent members have finally agreed on a draft resolution that would reduce syria of its chemical weapons document imposes a legally binding obligations on all parties of the syrian conflict with no penalties for noncompliance will not be automatic is on the way now with the details of an agreement being seen as a landmark diplomatic breakthrough. that attack and rest ambassador to the u.n. has said that the council could vote on friday on this resolution the five permanent members of the u.n. security council reach an agreement on thursday over the wording of binding and forcible text to eliminate syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons now the resolution doesn't allow for immediate chapter seven action of the u.n. charter which allows for military and nonmilitary action in case of noncompliance but would need to be reviewed and put to a vote on this case here foreign minister sergey lavrov is allusive go to the

resolution that will be submitted to other u.n. security council members conforms to the geneva agreement on the destruction of syria's chemical weapons it does not provide for any chapter seven actions the resolution includes an agreement that was reached in geneva stating that the security council can go back to reviewing the resolution only in the case of a breach of its proceedings by any of the sides including the opposition or in the case of chemical weapons use by any side if that happens the council can act on those cases under chapter seven as well but only in accordance of the degree of that violation and if it is one hundred percent proof. now as the foreign minister mentioned the draft resolution backs the agreement reached in geneva regarding serious commitment to place its chemical weapons stockpile under international control if there's any violation by any party as the resolution calls on the opposition to assist in the disarmament process this is an important point for

russia that both sides hold accountability and really this is a major breakthrough when you think about how less than a month ago it looked like russia and the u.s. would never agree and obama was ready to bomb damascus now with russia and the u.s. that put forward this resolution on syria and the steps to eliminate its chemical weapons and it's important to point out that it also endorses fully the. neiva communique which was put forward in june which for one that calls for all members all sides i should say in the syrian conflict to me as soon as possible to discuss a possible transitional government would have full executive power and that would be able to have members of the current government so really this is a breakthrough in the two and a half year both conflict and deadlock on the syrian crisis and he jean per year from the antiwar coalition says the agreement on syria's disarmament

doesn't mean some of the diplomatic successes should be expected to get shows there were turning towards a diplomatic solution at least on the issue of chemical weapons but the other issue that still remain outstanding is what will happen outside of the issue of chemical weapons will diplomacy be pursued by the united states or will they continue to find as they have the opposition an arm the opposition imbecility that happening and try to deepen the conflict over there was it another way i think certainly the security council reconvenes and this chemical weapons agreement is off track we could be in a place where we're going to happen again but i would like to hope that you see that the syrian regime has been far more willing than the rebel forces to engage in diplomacy on many issues if you remember it was the syrian regime that accepted the russian and american proposal for the geneva two peace talks and the rebels that rejected it so i certainly think that despite what we hear in a lot of united states media there's no reason to think that syria won't hold up there is a bargain particularly after they so enthusiastically pursued the russian proposal

for a diplomatic solution or a conflict in syria is also the focus of the latest edition of hair on r.t. so fishermen azza talks to lebanon's exon chief to discuss how the long lasting conflict is affecting his country. syria shattered into pieces the wall has left nothing intact little remains of the peaceful past little kept for a peaceful future. as rebels fight the government and each other the ones who suffer the people. how does it feel to share the border with such a neighbor. lebanon commander. or

another major breakthrough at the un general assembly us on a rainy officials held one of the highest level meetings in more than thirty years of frozen relations american secretary of state and is a reigning counterpart met face to face as part of seven nation talks on reviving a stalled negotiations over tehran's nuclear ambitions well the iranian foreign minister said his country is hoping a deal on the contested issue made within a year u.s. and british diplomats praising the spirit of the meeting he said sanctions against tehran with counterproductive and expressed hope they would be lifted in the near future. the u.s. warned there would be no major concessions on sanctions until tehran makes its nuclear program completely transparent despite this apparent clash of opinions experts say the newly adopted approach of reconciliation is bearing fruit. iran feared in a fairly comfortable position and they felt that the policy of. the previous i

thought of mr rouhani was not tell. it all from a legal standpoint iran feels that it has done everything it could and if there is anything it wants to gain public opinion it knows that the media has waged a war against it it has verified it is devolution it and it has portrayed it in a position of a threat to the international community now it is trying to make a case to the international public opinion and they have changed the tone and british judge who ordered that a woman could not testify in court while wearing a muslim veil covering her whole face except her eyes and feel debate a recent poll suggested that sixty seven percent of britons support a ban on muslim women covering their faces of playboy has been to gauge public opinion in london on a subject which is proving highly divisive. two weeks ago students at

a college in birmingham accused their teaches of religious discrimination when the college try to impose a ban on full face veils nine thousand students signed a protest petition and the ban was subsequently dropped by the war of opinions isn't dying down i don't think it helps their integration by using a full face veil you know as long as the face can be seen. to some extent you know expressions country a lot they shouldn't be judged because you can't see their faces just their religion and that's what you and dress were doing overseas they don't wear out any mission banner so. it's up to the people or they were just any and like a neighbor type of clothing yeah i think there should be a law for example airports or even just shop which places where the interact with people especially people who don't know them because it's it's very difficult to

speak to buying the sort of surface you you want to speak to someone you don't want to speak you just are it's all to talk about the issue i'm joined by columnist and be live from danny could be that france and belgium have imposed blanket bans on the cab in public spaces but britain prides itself on being a multicultural nation how do you think the government is supposed to respond on the issue here well the experience in france has proved to be a complete failure it has really pitted communities against each other and it has led crucially to an increase in the suspicion and indeed hatred against muslim communities and i firmly believe that it's not in the d.n.a. for me put it that way of the british. to indeed stifle liberties do the banning itself is an assault against fundamental human rights but surely this isn't a religious issue this is a professional issue and surely there are some circumstances when a cab simply isn't appropriate for example when you're teaching children providing evidence in court or treating

a patient in hospital i'm by no. means an advocate of the niqab and i do think that there should be resident restrictions against in the curb in certain situations like you've just pointed out and but we were talking about is the expression of prejudice against a religion. there's a tiny minority of women wearing the niqab at that it would be ridiculous to legislate against an entire religion effectively nibble around any thank you very much for your comments well while britain prides itself on its individual rights and ethnic tolerance the debate is waging on and the government may find that it can no longer maintain an official silence on the issue putting from london. well britain is not the only country pulled into a debate over muslim clothing in recent years a number of european states have moved to prohibit the full face veil takes a look. who would have expected a dress code to become such

a heated topic of political debate and yet the issue of the muslim veil and variations thereof has gripped not one not two but several european states france home to the largest muslim community in western europe with some five million followers became the first country to ban the full face veil in public places in two thousand and eleven a new woman breaking the rule faces a penalty of around one hundred fifty euro and a lesson in citizenship those forcing a woman to cover her face or looking at a much stiffer fine of up to thirty thousand euro neighboring belgium followed suit just months afterwards with a similar ban on the muslim veil that covers the full face though the fine here is slightly lower than maximum punishment could result in a seven day jail term a similar ban on face covering in public is to become effective this year in the netherlands home to roughly a million muslims although scholars say out of that number only a few hundred women wearing the cobs of workers which either leave the eyes open or cover the entire face within three and three and

a half million muslims live in germany the second largest islamic population in europe after france there is no universal ban here but this it has banned its civil servants from wearing head scarves and veils following an eight year old ruling from the federal constitutional court which left the issue up to individual states to decide both in spain and italy moves have been made in the past to outline the carbs and workers as well as head scarves for muslims but in those both predominantly catholic countries supreme courts or legal ministers have thrown such propositions out citing them as unconstitutional and in the swiss country enough to chino two thirds of the population voted in favor of a ban on face covering veils and the ban is currently waiting approval by the federal parliament these developments across the european continent are raising the question is there a broader clash with the liberal values themselves when the right to religious identity is pinned against the need for all to respect the law.

against oil drilling in the arctic russian authorities believe whatever their intentions the activist technically broke the law russian authorities maintain that the greenpeace international ship had ignored many warnings including not to enter the restricted northern sea route greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their cause and some suggest they probably knew what to expect given all those multiple warnings even warning shots that were fired but the activists went on anyway possibly knowing how much public attention the action would generate especially ahead of the arctic conference this week where leaders of arctic nations experts with you know good together with experts from oil industry were discussing ways to explore the resources in the arctic as well as ways to minimize the damage to the environment and the russian president was asked about the detained activist and he said to me of course they are not pirates but he said greenpeace such clearly violated international law by sending activists from the

ship in inflatable boats to try to coordinate the russian world clock for the president suggested that the activists should choose other forms of dialogue. well over to our website we have much more for you including stepping up from brothers in arms the story of one u.s. soldier who's launching a campaign for afghan interpreter. american visa revoked for years of service alongside u.s. troops. last week a arrests a sixteen year old boy on suspicion of being involved in what's being called the biggest cyber attack in the history of the internet the details online.

so. addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york but live is president ever maraniss call for barack obama to be put on trial for crimes against humanity blaming him for aggressive foreign policy on the r.t. spanish child that is to speak to him shortly after his comments as what he said. i want to remind you all that when obama was elected president said that his aim was to end all wars but during a time of his presidency the number of words only increased libya for instance the u.s. organized an outrageous military intervention that was followed by the killing of the country's president and after that libya's oil wells are forming under their control they financed rebels to fight against the rulers and don't support imperialism and capitalism on top of that they run a worldwide surveillance network we need to establish a court where world powers and international human rights organizations take the rule of judges we need to file

a collective lawsuit aimed at putting an end to this genocide. i think that the threat exists for any country with vast natural energy resources especially willing gas i understand that this is a direct threat to venezuela in order to secure energy resources for his own country obama will invade any other country but he's not the leader of the world or some other world news in brief for you know more than twenty five people are feared trapped under collapsed a five story building in mumbai rescuers are trying to reach those still thought to be inside in june at least five people were killed in a three story building fell down while such incidents are not uncommon in india thanks to paul standards of construction. two blasts rocked a busy street in yemen's capital sanaa wounding at least twenty people no one was hurt in the first explosion rafter a crowd began to gather the second bomb went off injuring bystanders and comes just days after the nation's president vowed to eradicate terrorism iran has been

plagued by turmoil since twenty eleven of the al qaeda is local brought to seize control of some towns and surrounding areas in the south of the country. i mean kenya militants from it is the most movement al-shabaab have attacked two towns on the border with somalia at least three people have been killed including two police officers somalia based group which killed scores of people or from the ruby ball last friday so in the message that attacks will continue the kenyan troops withdraw from the country of the day of the cross talk show people a bell asks whether u.s. sanctions haven't gotten used to terrorism in the region you can watch the full debate later but here's a quick preview. we are meddling and somalia targeted assassinations air strikes drone strikes all of us active to billions there. they've scattered. groups but also created new ones and clothing al-shabaab which has been which has

taken responsibility for what happened in kenya. but the united states has worked with ethiopia and kenya to bring invading forces into somalia which have been responsible for brutal human rights violations create the united states has created an intelligence infrastructure in somalia the notorious jail or prison interrogation center and at the airport there as reported by jeremy scahill so yeah the idea of blowback here is a surprise we are we are seeing. the remnants are of the outgrowth of what our policy the united states' policy has been in the last twelve years there. is.

an industrial decline while boosting economic growth the french government faces a tough agenda in the coming years as president alone tries to move these countries out of financial turmoil and pressure is coming from both brussels unbirthday and to make sure he fulfilled his promises with growing your skepticism so also you have the story. this you know where your promises in the long run. the boiling over frustrate caught on camera priority is employment we need to eat but at this point the bad news no longer come a surprise to many french popular self-styled mr normal condemned for having no power to stop economic uncertainty from becoming the new normal at the research this possible with only eleven percent of the french thinking their economy will improve over the next twelve months running out of economic admission that home

alone recently unveiled a three point five billion injection into thirty four key sectors hoping to spur a third industrial revolution that the same time cut eight hundred million euros from next year's budget and still. ordinary people have managed to survive the crisis because france has been a rich country for the past twenty years and older generations have proportionally more money than the younger ones so in a family the transfer phenomenon is common meaning grandparents are helping their grandchildren find the study. for much longer. and there's your skepticism it's rises reflected not just in opinion polls but increasingly in the election outcomes as well. hold a referendum in january two thousand and fourteen the french do they want to stay in the european union do they want to stay with. do they want european lula's to be

stronger than national. it is right here the decisions on everything from public finances investment unemployment and the euro zone are debated and made the problem seems to be that there are more debates than decisions prompting the french foreign minister to say that this place needs a boss but france cannot afford to stall as french president francois hollande is still under great pressure from berlin. and brussels to deliver on his economic promises in a draft text in april and socialist party attack merkel and her selfish intransigence and call for a confrontation with germany over policy or from it was if the economic situation in france dramatically worsens compared to germany it will take france on a different political course that diverged from the german one this will create a complicated conflict inside the e.u. that happens tensions will get worse. a collision course that will rock it's already unstable to vote and as germany itself is dealing with growing antihero

hello and welcome to this month's special edition of technology updates where we look to the skies to see the peak of russian innovation on today's show because it's a glimpse of bush's latest stealth fighter. we find out it's a cross between a battery and a combustion engine isn't just a load of. down the ground we learned about the mysterious night. but first let's take a look at some of the highlights of this month's show. the international aviation space show is the highlights of the calendar not just for aviation enthusiasts but for anyone who enjoys a good day out there show started off in one thousand nine hundred ninety three when the focus was mainly on entertainment since then it's evolved into an important business event given the high flies of the aviation industry a chance to sell their wares this year marks smashed its own attendance record with

over one hundred fifty thousand people braving the elements to visit the event in just one day business also proved with companies signing agreements and contracts with twenty one point two billion dollars which is significantly more than last time believing this has wider implications than just the aviation industry. the aircraft manufacturing industry always drives innovation throughout the world because to be competitive in this industry you have to excel in a number of different areas that's why this industry receives so much investment but some people say that for every ruble invested in new technologies for aircraft manufacturing you get a return of seven rubles because of the positive effect this provides for all the other industries. i'm sure that return on investment was the last thing on people's mind when the flight program starts as well as the crowds the demonstrations give money fighters the opportunity to show off exactly what they can do this is

especially important for kraft and mike says the perfect place for defense organizations to cooperate with. the most efficient. machine operations. is testament to the. difficult condition. isn't just for selling military hardware this. builds on the legacy piece. and is about thirty percent cheaper than anything else in the market under peaceful international cooperation doesn't company russian helicopters presented the first prototype of the slick sure case sixty two passenger helicopter the helicopter is fitted with french engines marking the first time the company has teamed up with the.
