if you just joined us very good evening from me kevin owen here in moscow tonight this is our top story foreign minister sergei lavrov warned against hijacking crucial decisions and acting unilaterally without the u.n. security council's go ahead he referred to the situation in syria in his address to the u.n. general assembly earlier on friday but a few hours time the security council set to gather where it's expected to vote on a draft resolution overseeing syria's chemical disarmament and there's russia's llobet insisting the motion doesn't contain any threat of outside military action r.t. senior political correspondent and listen now i as the details. 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 they're going to go to schools and businesses we've been hearing increasingly often the argument that the threat or use of force which is directly precipitated by the u.n. charter might be the most efficient way to solve international problems including internal conflicts and there's a current attempt to extrapolate this approach to the syrian conflict in this even though the entire history of military interventions has shown how counterproductive and devastating they are. 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 over over was an outline of double standards when it

comes to policy in the mideast well she has this list of city in the border it's a well known fact that the most combative fissioned 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 of their 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 again stan others. countries like in mali you're 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 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 well meantime on the ground in syria media reports suggest at least thirty people have been killed in a car bombing near damascus observers in a nearby term say the explosion took place near a mosque soon after friday prayers to talk more about what's happening in syria the diplomatic efforts to resolve this long lasting war let's bring in political analysts patrick henningsen joining us live from london hi patrick evening to you all this profile a high level diplomacy going on in new york at the u.n. of course but it's still a long way away from what's happening on the ground in syria isn't it once again have an effect almost daily death. well this is really interesting because only a few weeks ago we had we were looking at a unilateral coalition of the willing united states britain and france leading a unilateral strike and now that faction has been pushed into the international

route via the un and this is steered mainly by russia leading this diplomatic effort which is now a multilateral diplomatic effort but what we have is this is to the advantage of syria because syria now can play its hand in other words in order to disarm the chemical weapons stocks and do the sufficiently in a timely manner syria can demand for instance that the united states and the cia stop sending arms to the rebel groups who might be attacking international or u.n. or. operatives and workers on the ground in syria trying to get rid of these chemical weapons stocks and that's going to be an argument that's going to be coming very soon i believe let's talk about this resolution security council resolutions we voted on we think about six hours is so no mention of the use of force in that course america much the west wanted that included they've taken a box that they seem to have backtracked why. well there's two or two reasons

one is the whole premise of the use of force originally from the august twenty first attacks was that this was an attack carried out by the assad regime or the assad government or soldiers or commanders within his government army and more and more as each week passes i mean our t. had a report by sister agnes that showed that there was some possibly false sophistication of some of the quote open source evidence that john kerry in way i'm haig relied so heavily upon to establish guilt in the attacks so now that that's falling to pieces there's other anomalies coming forward now by the week so that the whole premise of the use of force against the syrian government has the back story is crumbling but of course this is one of the reasons why you know the skeptics are going to say without some cow the build in that they could be use of force. why would

assad carry on with it why would he go along with these inspections except for except because they don't believe that he will. well unfortunately for the united states and for the pro-war people in france and in britain assad by signing this treaty he's entering international agreement and now it is a diplomatic channel and this is definitely a good thing for syria in terms of voiding a military strike from the west but we can't go backwards now so now's the impetus is on the west to come clean with their policies in syria and we've seen a shift of the tables have turned here absolutely and russia is leading that diplomatic effort that wasn't the same case a month ago ok or a month and a half ago this change now and so i believe a military strike is completely off the table i don't think they can do it it's finished could it be could there be a possibility of some sort of u.s. strike i.e.

the u.s. going it alone though at some point in the future even if everything is complied with. maybe in the far future but as far as this u.s. administration the obama administration for the next three years i don't think that is a likely possibility it will be a total international embarrassment their whole case is flimsy it's built on a house of cards and to just the threat of it even in the future is going to be a ridiculous move diplomatically on washington's part but the next u.s. administration perhaps in three or four years could be a different story as we know with iraq if the u.s. struck iraq in ninety one with airstrikes and other things and then came back to invade the country ten years later so you know we're looking at a timeframe here that might be longer than just a year or a few a few months or a possible plays out in the next six to eight hours at the u.n.

thank you for your input to not saying that. on the margins of the u.n. assembly all season the situation is supposed to syria's foreign minister walid moallem who shared his views on steering his country towards peace many countries speak about some more thing to cut some troops. this is important. this means that they need to be committed. to stop their financing. girls. especially the neighboring countries. like turkey saudi arabia and qatar we control the can we call ourselves but we are worried. the terrorist group also has chemical weapons and they want to use it. to show

the west that syria is not committed to its commitments. spitta very busy twenty four hours of the u.n. iran's president's expects a draft plan by october or working with the u.s. and international community over his country's nuclear program assad ronnie's comments came as he gave a news conference in new york the spirit of diplomatic optimism at the u.n. also extended were rare encounter to which saw the u.s. secretary of state meet his reigning counterpart for the country's highest level talks in decades the meeting centered on surrounds atomic program and felt within the framework of the seven nation ago now the shift in tone has been widely welcomed both sides remain cautious however saying actions are going to speak louder than words and of the day international law professor middle east expert daoud carolla told me a rat is trying to win the hearts and minds of people worldwide right now. you know around fear in a fairly comfortable position and they felt that the policy of. the previous i

thought of mr rouhani was not hoping at all from a legal standpoint you're on feel 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 the revolution 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 iran's also veiled what it says is its most sophisticated personal attack drone so far that's it this is the shot shed one two nine which is said to be capable of increasing around surveillance capabilities all the way around its borders it can apparently fly nonstop for twenty four hours can carry up to eight missiles it's got a range that spans the entire middle east they say the drones designed was closely

followed by the united states. talk you which should barack obama go on trial for crimes against humanity that's what the president of bolivia is calling for is exclusively telling r.t. what's behind these harsh accusations absolute. the mixed almost daily deaths people crams into filthy sharks and long work days in torrid this is the dark side of bringing cartels football world cup dream to life the gulf states being hit with criticism for human rights violations it turns door into well subscribers a miracle city the government brought in a raft of immigrant workers to get the capital ready for the twenty twenty two event but now investigations revealed labor is a big dying at a shocking pace because of atrocious conditions so far the authorities only response is to bring in more reinforcements and promised to look into the trades rights activists football fans or players though have been urging fee for now to

strip qatar of being a world cup host international trade union confederations the forefront of the campaign to stamp out labor abuses its general secretary has been speaking to us. to tyra's the slave state that. 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 often the context torn up and they paid as little as four hundred dollars a month they many of them killed workers they are forced to leave being one nobody has been 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 die and. and yet even if they want to leave they can't leave the country because they have basically the oh no that they are owned by the employer who has to find an exit the 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 right mcwade from the anti slavery international says that he hopes the scandal would trigger a reaction in ca to force the government to improve its rights record they would like to see the world cup being used as a mechanism to change in our country i think what part dog simply would say is that the abuses which are going on in qatar are of such magnitude that the qatari certainly at the current point in time don't demonstrate themselves as worthy of

the word cult the system which facilitates force the appearance that every would think that part is the legal system of qatar particularly in relation to my group on immigration law there needs to be fundamentally change i would prefer to see rather than it being moved from qatar that qatar changes i think if qatar does not change it certainly should be taken away from it but it will be much better to see that this 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 having to say with a smile a day is international news and r.t. moscow right after this break. wealthy british.

protesting against the detention of pictures of the greenpeace activists and. the environmentalists most of whom. tell the story. the court in the russian city of mormons decided that twenty two people were onboard the arctic sunrise will remain in jail for the next two months as investigation continues and that's not a sentence that's basically the time the board gives for investigators to do their job and to set up their case there will be another hearing on monday as we understand and the court in the city or so for months will decide what to do with the other eight members of the group 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 the detained activists refused to answer investigators question seemed poking their right under the washing constitution to remain silent and not to testify against themselves on board the greenpeace ship there were thirty people citizens of eighteen different countries among them was a russian photojournalist denise in singapore he was detained with everybody else on board the ship a number of fortune media outlets have blacked out all photographs on their websites this friday in protest against evolves arrest over three thousand russian media workers russian journalists have signed a petition with these the photojournalists saying he was doing his job they want russian online news outlets in the dark you claim sinew baubles on board the ship

discussing ways to explore the resources in new york as well as ways to minimize the damage to the environment and the russian president was asked during the conference of the detained activists and he said obviously they are not pirates but greenpeace has clearly violated international law by sending activists from the shipping inflatable boats to try to board the platform the president suggested that the activists trues other forms of dialogue. other extreme forms of protesting to one of the jailed pussy riot members have been moved to a prison clinic for beginning a hunger strike is to try and force the governor of the facility to take a lie detector test over threats to kill or details of her detention at all t. dot com closer to a website british defense ministry hopes that using drones mushrooms and everything with curves losses among soldiers will therefore convince the public into supporting wars interesting premise more on line.

barack obama must go on trial for crimes against humanity says bolivia's president at the un general assembly in new york blamed his u.s. counterpart for his aggressive foreign policy the spanish channel spoke to him shortly afterwards here's what he said. the caller that. i want to remind john that when obama was elected president his abilities aim was to end all wars but during a term 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 the finance rebels the 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 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 the world news headlines like clashes between muslim brotherhood supporters and residents of egypt seconds largest city alexandria left dozens of people injured the group was recently battered by courts after a military coup that overthrew the country's islamist government since then violence has been steadily rising in egypt with weekly bombings and attacks against both police and protesters. number of people killed in pakistan pakistan

. french president announced this week that he'll go to fifteen billion euros from next year's federal budget france were alarmed already facing mounting pressure from the right over france's relationship with europe as the economy shows precious little sign of an upturn well as tessa center center reports next for french citizens are remarkably glum about the grim outlook. this you know land where your promises are come on where are they the boiling over frustrate ssion caught on camera priority is employment we need to eat but at this point the bad news no longer calm 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 at this point people with only eleven percent of the french thinking of their economy will improve over the next twelve months running out of economic advantages that

hold a large recently unveiled a three point five billion injection into thirty four key sectors hoping to spur a third industrial revolution. now ordinary people have managed to survive the crisis why because france has been a rich country for the past ten twenty thirty years and older generations of 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 the election outcomes as well. i asked the president to hold a referendum in january two thousand and fourteen and i asked the french do they want to stay in the european union do they want to stay with this do they want european lewis to be stronger the national mood. 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 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 along socialist party attacked 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 france from a 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. a collision course that will rock an already unstable boat as germany itself is dealing with a growing frustration over having to bailout the now actually on healthy neighbors

was writing in response to the game where is damascus which challenges people to find serious capital on a blank map he said that whether americans can find sear on a map doesn't affect the wisdom of a punitive strike meant to uphold international norms against the use of chemical weapons and often disasters draw our attention to places we had never heard of before like pearl harbor or columbine or syria but let's look at this way i don't exactly know where persons kidneys are or how exactly they work so by all normal logic that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove john doe's kidneys my opinion doesn't count because i am kidney ignorant so if you know so little about syria that you can't even find it on a map then you are more likely to believe from a guy in a suit on t.v. that there must be an intervention to save the people there you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them but gosh darn it that intervention sounds nice knowing at least where a country is on the map is the first step in building in informed opinion but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome across all things were considered peter lavelle the inevitability of blowback in the first 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 like a cure it.
