very good evening for me kevin owner of moscow if you just joined us this is r.t. international top story tonight for a minister sergei lavrov warned against hijacking crucial decisions and bringing them into action without the un security council's go ahead he referred to the situation in syria as he addressed the u.n. security council earlier on friday now this comes ahead of a landmark vote on a draft resolution overseeing syria's chemical disarmament and russia has long been insisting the motion doesn't contain any threat of outside military action our senior political correspondent in this in our report. one of the main points that foreign minister love rove brought up was the fact that chemical weapons is more than acceptable they cannot be used but you can't go around accusing and

threatening action without any kind of proof when you have the west still blaming also for the attack and russia clearly saying that they have proof that it's much more complicated than that the foreign minister sergei lavrov pointed out how we're increasingly hearing about how the threat of force should be used to solve conflicts especially in the middle east because they're going to go to schools and there's a sort them but we've been hearing increasingly often the argument that the threat or use of force which is directly precipitated by the u.n. charter a little bit might be the most efficient way to solve international problems with those including internal conflicts and there's a current attempt to extrapolate this approach to the syrian conflict on the even though the entire history of military intervention if you show how counterproductive and devastating they are sleep with the issue when we go around pushing for action it needs to call on both sides to calve accountability for any kind of violations that that's something that's we're seeing in this new resolution

that has been put forward by the u.s. and russia which will be voted on later this friday another thing that we heard from foreign minister there the frova was an outline of double standards when it comes to policy in the mideast well she is this list of studio in the body it's a well known fact that the most combative fission opposition groups in syria are jihadist groups that have many radical islamists in them who arrived in syria from all over the world the goals they're pursuing have nothing to do with democracy they're based on the principles of intolerance and they need to destroying the secular states and replacing them with caliphates it appears to be quite a short sighted policy when practically the same groups of operatives are given support in some countries as in syria and forth against. in other countries like in mommie's or in your pretty human course this comes on the heels of this news that and i think it's fair to say are rare or rare thing it's become at the u.n. when you have the sides agreeing and it looks like they're going to most certainly

push through this resolution on syria in terms of chemical weapons but as russia has been pushing for a long time both sides are going to be accountable for any kind of use of chemical weapons for any kind of violations and it doesn't allow for military action or in fact any kind of nonmilitary punishment in the form of sanctions. and it's now a senior correspondent there with me tom on the ground in syria itself media reports suggest that at least thirty people have been killed in a car bombing near damascus observers in a nearby town say that explosion took place near a mosque soon after friday prayers i spoke to antiwar company usually says that the furor over chemical weapons in syria shouldn't take attention away from the rest of the fighting that. it shows that we're 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 are in the opposition so that they that happening

and trying to deepen the conflict over there was 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 have any yet but i would like to. syria's 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 here is a bargain particularly after they so enthusiastically pursued the russian proposal very diplomatic solution. back to new york their rands president expects a draft plan by october and working with the u.s. and international community of this country's nuclear program. comments came as he gave a news conference in new york in the past hour the spirit of diplomatic optimism at the u.n. also extended to a rare encounter which saw the u.s.

to make a case to the international public opinion they have changed the tone meantime iran's also unveiled what it says is its most sophisticated personal attack drones so far this is the sheriff said one to nine which is said to be able of increasing around surveillance capabilities around its borders apparently can fly nonstop for twenty four hours and it can carry eight missiles it has a range spanning the entire middle east they say the drones designed was closely followed by the u.s. . coming up should barack obama go on trial for crimes against humanity that's what the president of bolivia is calling for exclusively tells r.t. what's behind his harsh accusations very soon. almost daily deaths people crammed into filthy shacks and long work days intolerable this is the dark side of bringing cattles football world cup dream to

life the gulf states being hit with criticism for human rights violations it turns door into what some describe as a miracle city the government brought in a raft of immigrant workers to get the capital ready for the twenty twenty two event but an investigation is now revealed that labor is a big dog at a shocking pace because of atrocious conditions so far the authorities only response is to bring in reinforcements and promised to look into the claims rights activists football fans and players have been urging free for the strip qatar of being a world cup host international trade union confederation has been at the forefront of the campaign to stamp out labor abuses its general secretary has been talking to work to. tyra's the slave state that's the extreme thing to say i know in the twenty first century but that's the reality workers exploited from the moment they are forced to pay money to recruitment agencies in the paul or india philippines other asian or african nations they sign

a contract they go to off in the context for now. four hundred dollars a month. many of them killed workers they are forced to leave the one nobody is paying to those labor camps where you have i ten twelve sometimes more to. fit and certainly no c.e.o. would accept this son or daughter living in those conditions then of course they are often abused underpaid the work is dangerous more than one worker a day will dying. and yet even if they want to lose. they can't leave the country because they have basically the oh no that they are owned by the employer who has to sign an exit visa or in data transfer of working right help their passports are often held against the law it's appalling it's appalling and frankly it could be fixed we've offered the government solutions but have no political will to fix it

so it's to conduct a raid mcquade from slavery international he says he hopes the scandal would trigger a reaction in catherine to force the government to prove its rights record. see the world cup being used as a mechanism to change in our country i think what part doc simply would say is that the abuses which are going on in qatar are of such magnitude that the qataris certainly at the current point in time don't demonstrate themselves as worthy of the word court system which facilitates forced labor and slavery we think that tar is the legal system of tar particularly in relation to migration immigration. reform the most. i would prefer to see rather than a tar tar changes i think if tar does not change it certainly should be taken away from it but it will be much better to see the system of can follow which facilitates forced labor right across the gulf region is broken fundamentally qatar

in relation to the world cup could be a major change in relation to the whole region. coverage of an already protest most photographers stay in jail plus we go to a poor two in the bolivian president's plans to take barack obama to court that more just after this quick break. the inevitability of blowback in the person logic of terrorism ever since the us embarked on its so-called war on terror acts of terror and terrorist networks of political raided the recent deadly massacre in kenya is a case in point so is washington's anti-terrorist strategy that is worse than the disease. to. take knowledge is the name and aviation is the game which is late he still tries to take the money the noble postals brings innovations new heights and don't lose

arctic sunrise will remain in jail for the next two months as investigation teams there's not a sentence that's basically time that the board gives for investigators to do their job and he said the case there will be another hearing on monday as we understand and the court in the city of sirte for months will decide what to do with the other eight members of the crew it would be safe to assume the same decision will be made with regard to those individuals russian investigators explained that the activists will will not necessarily have to spend exactly two months in jail they could be released earlier it all depends on how fast the investigation goes the judge decided against releasing the individuals on bail citing the concern that they could leave the country before the investigation is over we know that they detained activist refused to answer investigators questions evoking their right under the washing constitution to remain silent and not to testify against themselves board the greenpeace ship there were thirty people citizens of eighteen different

a decision was made to detain the activists when they started to climb the russian oil pot for using ropes and grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their cause and some suggest they probably knew what to expect given multiple warnings so but the activists went on anyway possibly knowing how much public attention the action would generate any aid has generated a lot of attention especially ahead of the arctic conference this week where the leaders of the arctic nations 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 during the conference about the detained activists and he said obviously they are not tyrants but greenpeace has a theory violated international law by sending activists from the shipping inflatable boats to try to board to should the president suggested that the activists she choose other forms of dialogue should meet. online creative thinking

u.n. general assembly in new york over morale explained his u.s. counterpart was aggressive foreign policy. spokesman shortly afterwards this is what he had to say. i want to remind you all that when obama was elected president his they believe was to end all wars and the journey in time of his presidency the number of words only increased in 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 the finance rebels would fight against the rulers and don't support imperialism and capitalism on top of that they run a worldwide surveillance network with we need to establish acord world powers and international human rights organizations take the 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 the oil and gas i understand and 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 . in world news in brief tonight clashes erupted between israeli police and palestinian protesters in jerusalem's old city also the west bank and gaza the violence broke out after friday prayers palestinian militants have called for an uprising after a number of jewish groups were allowed to visit the al aqsa mosque on the police escort there is an important holy place for both muslims and jews. for a number of people killed in the pakistan earthquakes now risen to five hundred fifteen with thousands waiting to be rescued the seven point seven magnitude quake hit the southwest on choose day it was felt one thousand kilometers away in new delhi it also led to the formation of a small island ever so big which is a myth in flammable gas just off the coast. residential buildings collapsed of india's financial capital it's killed at least thirteen people many of the rescued

two ways first of all there's a somali issue going on here and then there's an international issue if you look at the statement made by about the westgate attack one thing was kenyans you better get out of somalia or else you'll face more than this and the second thing was the international community you've got a superstar supporting the kenyans and supporting the others in fighting in in somalia we are meddling and somalia targeted assassinations air strikes drone strikes all of us active 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 or the outgrowth of what our policy. the united states party it's been in the last twelve years there. the french president announced this week
