landmark unity on syria the u.n. security council adopts a resolution to rid the war torn country of its chemical weapons after weeks of intense talks the first major diplomatic breakthrough in years. guitars ride to host the twenty twenty two world cup it is question following reports of use and deaths of migrants working to build new facilities in conditions some are comparing to slavery. and the british public weary of warfare and coffins returning from the battlefield the government seeks ways to win support for future campaigns without outraging the nation.

in the russian capital you're watching r.t. with me marina josh. the un security council has unanimously backed a resolution requiring syria to eliminate its chemical weapons the document put together by russia and the us imposes binding obligations on all parties of the syrian conflict but does not authorize immediate use of force for noncompliance are just worried ordinary reports in a landmark vote at a rare diplomatic breaks for. this breakthrough marks the first time the united nations security council has agreed on a binding document concerning syria the resolution unanimously adopted by the council requires the verification and destruction of syria's chemical weapons stockpile however while it doesn't mention chapter seven towards the end of the document it does not indicate that immediate use of force would be allowed that

this is something that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov explained in detail while addressing the. but but the. resolution does not fall under chapter seven of the un charter and does not alive the ultimate use of force because the bill it reaffirms the agreement reached but the russian american meeting in geneva regarding violations as well as the use of chemical weapons by anyone will have to be carefully investigated by the security council the united nations. will stand ready to take action under chapter seven of these in charge or any incident which is considered a violation of the resolution will have to prove one hundred percent before any action is taken and the resolution also calls for the meaning of the geneva two peace talks which un secretary-general ban ki moon says could happen as soon as november the geneva two is where the syrian government and opposition are supposed to come to the table together to negotiate

a peaceful path towards their future and ultimate end to the two and a half year civil war taking place in that country russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says that the syrian opposition as well as the government is applied to comply with all measures in the security council resolution that the used in his opening of the responsibility for implementing this resolution lies not only with the government of syria according to the demands of the u.n. security council the syrian opposition will also have to cooperate. but it's there are lots of so there is opposed to in the meantime u.s. secretary of state john kerry said the precedent setting resolution shows how it will diplomacy can peacefully disarm the worst weapons however during his address to the security council secretary kerry reminded members that the use of force against syria is an option that u.s. president barack obama continues to keep on the table reporting from new york. r.t.

speaking just before the vote at the u.n. general assembly russia's foreign minister called for a collective globally. shipp his comments came after president obama just a few days before on the same stage spoke about what he called america's exceptionalism explain why washington felt compelled to engage in other states affairs earlier my colleague kevin no one discussed this with geo political analyst eric draitser let's first of all listen to what i had to say at the u.n. general assembly if we would before have a chat i believe america must engage for our own security but i also believe the world is better for some may disagree but i believe america is exceptional in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all well obama says the u.s. has quote a responsibility to act but of course it begs the question does not guarantee it's always going to responsibly think that we should be very cautious about this so

called american exceptionalism what obama is asserting is a longstanding principle not only within the political establishment of the united states but within the very psyche of the american people that somehow we're better that somehow we're exceptional and obama is attempting to use that rhetoric as a way of putting himself on a moral high ground above putin above the chinese above any of the so-called troublemakers in the un security council so while it looks to the rest of the world that the united states is a belligerent actor when it comes to syria obama is essentially asserting that no no we are moral we are just and we are righteous. he has also spoken to syria's foreign minister of his share of his concerns over what's happening at the u.n. . we control. our city but we are worried. the thing we do also has come because we were born and they want to use it.

publication nepalese migrants working on major infrastructure projects for the world cup have been subjected to forced labor they've been denied water in extreme heat and they were dying as a race of almost one a day joining the summit not for football fans in london the news merely adds insult to injury often pray to spread to hasten the twenty eighteen world cup was rejected so i've come to london so where football fans regularly flood the pub to find out what they think. forty four people died in two months you know that's a higher ratio than had almost every dime you know back in the what it was the twenty's and thirty's the night job was first world war standard you know there was a lot of people dying and it sounds like there's not a great deal of governance going on if that's was happening john who was brought round. well the big gamble for china however i believe the olympics. was that they could be encouraged to get. the same. sort of brought the game to

the world. the only way to really make it global is to bring questionable countries into the fold in terms of highlighting to the world do you trust you to go in or trying to turn those around they don't think it's a good thing because you could hardly be because it's opposed to catch us twenty twenty two supreme committee which is responsible for the organization of the tournament that has said that is deeply concerned by the allegations and is bound to investigate them but the next least ambassador to canada has already said that abuse of migrant labor is that is so entrenched in the emirates that it might as well be called an open jail so for those watching from the sidelines here in london or indeed from pubs like these it raises questions over whether or not cats are should be afforded the privilege of hosting the international tournament reporting from london i'm paul you boy. football's governing body has expressed concern over

relations and a un agencies are qatar is violating an international ban on the use of forced labor are spoke to the general secretary of the international trade union confederation that's leading a campaign against migrant worker abuse. guitar is a slave state that's. 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 to look paint other asian or african nations they sign a contract they go to the power of them a contract torn up and they paid as little as four hundred dollars a month. many of them skilled workers they are forced to live in squalor nobody has been to those labor camps where you have i ten twelve sometimes more to a room would accept 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 guitar and yet even if they want to leave they can't leave the country because they're basically the owner that they're owned by the employer who has to sign an exit visa or in data transfer of working right here help their part 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 they have no political will to fix it. coming up europe may have a common currency but there is no common opinion about it with the parliamentary election in austria less than twenty four hours away we'll look at a new political party there which thinks that you are simply doesn't make sense. also this hour a radical religion is booming in ukraine and it's reportedly providing mercenaries to five in the syrian civil war more in doubt player in the program.

the first time in over thirty years the leaders of the u.s. and iran have spoken directly to each other following a conversation on the phone president obama expressed hope a solution could be reached over to iran's nuclear ambitions however he said success was not guaranteed and that the u.s. would continue to work closely with its allies including israel but israel has kept a cool about iran's less confrontational approach at the u.n. general assembly prime minister netanyahu urged the west not to trust iran claiming its softening stands as a smokescreen to pursue nuclear weapons and some experts also believe the pass to a settlement could be blocked by strong and tehran law within america author and historian gerald horne told r.t. that zero influence on the president might be decisive. the united states needs iran to help it pull out successfully from afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen recall that in two thousand and one the iranians were very helpful to then u.s.

president george w. bush in terms of helping to dislodge the taliban from power around can also be helpful with regard to the crisis in iraq with bombings at a level not seen since two thousand and six and two thousand and seven the problem is that the israeli lobby in the united states is very powerful not least in mr obama's own democratic party coalition and it is no secret that mr netanyahu the prime minister of israel is itching to launch military strikes against iran nuclear facilities given such pressures it's unclear how these diplomatic talks will turn out. so while the u.s. president maya be suggesting a compromise with iran his officials are not giving up on there is still the just yet to log on to our website or to dot com to find out why the u.s. military is accusing iran of the behind the largest ever cyber attack on the american navy. spying in the name of public security and the sometimes in the name of love and flows from the scandal hit n.s.a.

looked at. how to sell a war to a british public that's not buying that's the topic of the latest study by the ministry of defense reacting to what the paper calls a wrong assumption that the british people has become risk averse in a nutshell the paper says it's not the people don't want war it's that they don't understand how it will benefit them so in an effort to explain war better the think tank makes some recommendations for us to make a large investment into drones suggesting that if people in foreign countries they killed at arms length the british public mind so much second use more contractors a.k.a. must raise rather than british soldiers to lessen worries about casualties to use more special forces soldiers because apparently the loss of elite soldiers doesn't have such an impact on the public because that role is perceived as inherently more

risky and full something military families are already calling disgraceful reduce the profile of repatriation ceremonies for sessions of carrying coffins straight to the union jack when bodies are brought back from afghanistan. but a war weary british public isn't keen on having its opinions swayed and is particularly adamant about keeping repatriation the ceremonies in the public. saying there should be respected for what they've done and we should be aware that it was just more just a. little. thing they can do. publish the right. thing basically they shouldn't be going to war so it's really trying to avoid war rather than try to make it sound it makes an interesting way the paper appears prescient because it was written before the british parliament voted against getting involved in syria under the immense weight of

public opinion but. it seems unlikely that the public will be manipulated into supporting conflict quite as easily as even the ministry of defense admits that the current a version to war is the result of a people that's better informed and in a position that's more sophisticated. reporting there now as it looks from other stories from around the world the greek police have arrested the leader and several top officials of the far right golden dawn party charging them with forming a criminal organization the crackdown comes amid public anger over the killing of a left wing activist by a man claiming to be a member of the group called dawn is greece's third most popular party and denies any connection to the murder this is the first time in decades the party had and members of parliament have been arrested. in bahrain the largest anti-government protest in months remained largely peaceful despite some reports of clashes between police and demonstrators tens of thousands joined

a return of the so-called grand coalition between the social democrats and the conservative people's party however this election has seen a rise in the amount of people turning towards euro skeptic parties now to talk a little bit more about that i'm joined by the founder of one of those here a skeptic parties mr frank thanks very much for talking to me why has your skepticism called the imagination in austria we are nuts get this m e s. m d a very much for european unity and so on which is always thought that come with currency doesn't make sense it's economic and not viable and all the science at that doesn't work now do you think that brussels currently has too much say over the sovereignty of nations like austria while a candid. perrie's in. each country because each country has a certain culture for and that's in thousands a year as an each country must. govern down

destiny and but on the other hand the european unity would be that people can move freely around and products could be moved around freely but again the currency just doesn't work now how important to the rest of the e.u. is they selection taking place in austria well. i don't think we will get a majority at this time but we have set principles and dollars would be tax reforms in parliament to reforms. and to parliamentary reform so we hope to reduce the power of politicians and that citizens' representatives will have more say in government thank you very much for talking to me frank stronach there the founder of teen stronach party running

exile the crimean tatarstan been inhabiting the crimean peninsula for more than sixteen hundred years at some point they even had a powerful state of their own part of the osce man empire and there are those who are clearly unhappy with the current state of things. has the information office of the he is create a party in ukraine which officially opened in june he points at the global reception of islam and says the time has come to rebuild the global islamic state the holy fuck than that and this and. we as an organization work on establishing islamic states only in muslim countries like turkey pakistan syria cetera in ukraine russia and european states were not working on changing governments there are calls in our books to establish the kali thought but we always stress it must be done in a peaceful way. but not everyone seems to be buying that several states including russia and germany his book is considered a terrorist organization and its biggest on for example authorities claim the party

was driving force of the bloodletting two thousand five hundred on riots recently he's been darkly to showcase their expanding following in ukraine that is several thousand strong rally in crimea. they say if you're a muslim you must join us and fight infidels and infidel governments ukraine russia the usa if you know with us then you'll be worse than the infidel and must be killed to their goals and not the enlightenment of muslims their goals geo political and many unemployed young people fall for their ideas they have already been presidents of underground terrorist cells uncovered and busted by ukraine security service during the most recent. explosives and extremist books were discovered some of those had come directly from current war zones as authorities have evidence of at least four hundred fifty crimean tatars fighting in syria on the rebel side investigative journalist. says this spells trouble not only for

crimea but for the whole region it was like. we knew they used to go to the turkish part of cyprus to supposedly study but in reality they went through combat training now they have syria as a perfect boot camp and after they return they will be so skilled they could explode a powder keg here crimea's like a breeding ground for such movements from here they are exported to russia's caucasus turkey bowl garia and romania and we've got all sorts of radical sects here. nowadays there's still no ukraine corporately regulating religious sects and there is no legal definition of extremism there are worries now that if the authorities continue turning a blind eye to escalating religious activities in the peninsula one provocative spark like an international glass could easily ignite a melting pot right next door to europe. reporting from crimea in ukraine and what's the definition of journalism and who can be called

a journalist in the us breaking the sat with abby martin in just couple of minutes . i bet anyone who lives in the united states knows a few people or just dismal geography a certain small percentage of the country just can't get it that canada is above us but how important is knowing geography anyways what one author on the washington post blogs recently wrote that knowing geography really doesn't matter that much he was writing a 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 here 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'd 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 started 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.

hey guys i'm abbie martin and this is breaking this set you know despite the revelations concerning the scope of n.s.a. spying there's been little political action reform the shady practices of the secretive agency but earlier this week a small group of politicians introduced a bill to allen's the end it saves lack of oversight the charge led by senator ron wyden rosa's an overhaul of the agency and a ban of the bulk collection of americans phone and e-mail records but it's not just about gathering data the bill would also introduce a constitutional advocate to argue on behalf of the civil liberties community at the fight as a court now of course there's strong opposition to the legislation mainly from dianne feinstein who shares the intelligence committee have five same seems just like the n.s.a. just the way it is and it's all encompassing glory and so if you care about your privacy too and want to see this bill pass then join me and let's break the set. of.
