around the world and around the clock this is. the un security council's permanent members have fun they agreed on a draft resolution that would reduce syria of its chemical weapons the document imposes a legally binding obligations on all parties of the syrian conflict penalties for noncompliance will not be automatic is an arsenal way now with the details of an agreement being seen as a diplomatic breakthrough. and russian ambassador to the un 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. 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 if that becomes the case his foreign minister sergei 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 approved. 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 geneva 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 which 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.

the gene puryear from the antiwar coalition says the agreement on syria's disarmament doesn't mean similar 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 remained outstanding is what will happen outside of the issue of chemical weapons will the promise to be pursued by the united states all they can to. the opposition arm the opposition at the silicate that are happening and try to deepen the conflict over to our side in 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 we see that the syrian regime has been far more willing to 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 very diplomatic solution. well the conflict in syria is also the focus of the latest. here on r.t. so this of a not so talks to lebanon 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 camp for a peaceful future. as rebels fights the government and each other the ones who suffer the people. how does it feel to share the border with such a neighbor. lebanon chief commander. in

another major breakthrough at the un general assembly u.s. sound of rain in officials held at one of the highest level meetings in all than thirty years of frozen relations american secretary of state and his iranian counterpart met face to face as part of seven nation talks reviving stalled negotiations over tehran's nuclear ambitions we rein in a foreign minister said his country is hoping a deal on the contested issue can be made within a year u.s. and british diplomats praising the tone and spirit of the meeting where every said sanctions against tehran were counterproductive and expressed hope they would be lifted in the near future earlier the u.s. warned there would be no major concessions on sanctions until tyrone makes its nuclear program completely transparent despite this parents clash of opinions experts say the nearly adult to the pro-choice reconciliation is bearing fruit.

around 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 a british judge ordered that a woman could not testify in court while wearing a muslim veil covering her whole face except her eyes as fuel debate a recent poll suggested that sixty seven percent of britons support a ban on muslim women covering their faces a point like

a has been to gauge public opinion in london on a subject which is proving highly devices. 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 or worse he should have been wearing a mission bonnet so it's. it's it's up to the people or they were just any and like any other type of clothing yeah i think there should be a law for example airports or even just shop which places where they 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 know want to speak to just ice or to talk about the issue i'm joined by columnist and be live from danny to be there france and belgium have imposed a blanket bans on the cab in public spaces that 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 so 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 and that it would be ridiculous to legislate against an entire religion effectively maybe ramdani 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 pushing for london. 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. 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 find here is slightly lower than maximum punishment could result in a seven day jail term a similar belen 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 to be bounded 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 outlaw 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 this was country enough to cino 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. the bolivian president calls for a trial against barack obama and to the south in an interview to be also spanish moron as explained why he thinks he should be up in court for crimes against humanity. that's you know where your promises come on the world. france's president feels the pressure to take radical steps to climb all that and more coming up off the very. wealthy british style. market. happening to the global

welcome back the russian court has ordered that twenty two people arrested during a green peace protest in the arctic last week should remain in custody pending an investigation another eight campaigners are to be held for three days and the next hearing in the activists were detained aboard a greenpeace vessel after attempting to scale an oil platform in protest at drilling in russian waters what is going to to count as more. as of now twenty two people who are on board the arctic sunrise will remain in jail for the next two months says investigation continues that's not a sentence that's basically time that the court gives for investigators to do their job and present their case there will be another hearing on monday as we understand and according more minds will decide what to do with the other eight members of the crew on board the greenpeace ship with their words thirty people citizens of seventeen countries including russia canada and the united states the captain of the ship is an american citizen they were all detained now the greenpeace activists

so were detained last week having ignored russian authorities warnings while trying to climb the russian oil platform greenpeace says they acted in peaceful protest against oil drilling in the arctic russian authorities believe whatever their intentions the activists 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 who 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 t. said to of course they are not pirates but he said greenpeace had 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. it's not only greenpeace activists are being detained russian media is staging a protest by refusing to publish images for a day after a russian photographer was arrested along with others on the ship website to find out more. story of a u.s. soldier who's launching a campaign for former afghan interpreter had these american visa revoked after years of service alongside u.s. troops.

addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york bolivia's president ever maraniss. to be put on trial for crimes against humanity blaming him for aggressive foreign policy. to speak to him shortly after his comments that's what he said. i want to remind you all that when obama was elected president his able his aim was to end all wars but during a time of his presidency the number of words only increased libya for instance the us 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 that 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 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 when 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 you can watch the full interview with the bolivian president as our website r.t. dot com of another some other world news in brief. twenty five people are trapped under a collapsed five story building moved by rescuers are trying to reach they're still thought to be inside at least seven people have already been pulled from the rubble in june at least five people were killed when a three story building fell down such incidents

a lot on common in the elfin due to poor standards of construction. two blasts have rocked a busy street in yemen's capital sanaa wounding at least twenty people there almost hurt in the first explosion after a crowd began to gather a second bomb went off injuring bystanders it comes just days after the nation's president vowed to eradicate terrorism yemen has been plagued by turmoil since twenty eleven after al qaeda is local drug seize control of some towns and surrounding areas in the country's south. in kenya militants from the in the midst of movement have attacked two towns on the border with somalia at least three people have been killed including two police officers in somalia based group which killed scores of people in our room last friday said in a message that attacks continue its troops withdrawal from the country. but it.

is picked up in the days cross-talk you can watch the food. was approved. but then we have to look at this in two ways first told as a somali issue going on here and then there's an international issue if you look at the statement made by about the westgate tuck one thing was kenyans you better get out of somalia poor as you face more than this and the second thing was the international community he brought us to stop supporting the kenyans and supporting the others in fighting in in somalia we are meddling in somalia targeted assassinations air strikes drone strikes all of affected to billions there. they've scattered islamic groups but also created new ones and clothing al-shabaab 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 is spend in the last twelve

years there. combating industrial decline while boosting economic growth the french government faces a tough agenda in the coming years as president alone tries to maneuver his country out of financial turmoil and pressure is coming from both brussels underlain to make sure he fulfilled his promises amid a growing your skepticism this also has a story. this is where your promises come along round. the boiling over frustration 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 resentment is palpable with only eleven percent of the french thinking their economy will improve over the next twelve months running out of economic an initiative at 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 so. for now ordinary people have managed to survive the crisis because france has been a rich country for the past ten twenty thirty years and older generations have proportionally more money than the younger ones so in the family the transfer phenomenon is common meaning the grandparents are helping their grandchildren finances studies but we can't go on like this for much longer and then there's your skepticism it's rises reflected not just in opinion polls but increasingly in election outcomes as well. i ask the president to hold a referendum in january two thousand and fourteen and ask the french do they want to stay in the european union or do they want to stay with open borders do they

want european lewis to be stronger than national laws. it is right here that 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 then 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 alone socialist party attack merkel and her selfish intransigence and called for a confrontation with germany over policy reforms. if the economic situation in france dramatically worsens compared to germany it will take from some different political course that will diverged from the german one this will create a complicated conflict inside the e.u. if that happens tensions will get worse a collision course that will rock on already unstable boat as germany itself is

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 you catch a glimpse of bush's latest stealth fighter. we find out that's a cross between a battery and a combustion engine isn't just a load of. up and down the ground we learn 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 flyers 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 but even 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 the trip turned on investment was the last thing on people's mind when the flight program started. 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 conditions. but mike's isn't just for selling military hardware. builds on the legacy of. the m.i. eight and he's about thirty percent cheaper than anything else in the market under peaceful international cooperation doesn't company russian helicopters presented the first prototype of his luxurious k sixty two passenger. the helicopter is fitted with french engines for.
