twelve iraq war veteran michael prysner believes the first step to stopping all of this is shutting down the drone campaigns. the first thing that would go on a really long way to changing this situation is closing down all of the u.s. military bases that are in over one hundred thirty countries around the world many of them muslim countries ending the regular drone strikes that take place on these countries and of course kind of a daily terrorism act and by the united states against other countries through drones you know that there's this term that they use to justify all of this is termed american exceptionalism which of course is an offensive term to many people but it's real meaning is that the exception is that the u.s. considers itself having the right to attack anybody in the world at any time to kill anybody in the world at any time to torture anybody in the world at any time to arrest anybody in the world at any time that it to spy on anyone in the world at
7:05 am
any time but that is that their definition of american exceptionalism which is driving this. dr while the fires director of the future of terrorism project says bullets alone won't solve terror the world must fight its ideological roots the growth of the hardest production meaning there are many ideological schools indoctrinating radicalizing and creating a much wider demography of the harvest and then you have another structure that is or a variety of other jihadist groups in many countries who are recruiting so the pool is getting larger problem is that over the past few years the administration policy makers in the united states are not knowledge of the fact that behind that in addition to political issues that are very verse of around the world there is one common root which is the ideology so if we don't identify the ideology if we don't
7:06 am
work with civil society if we don't work with moderates in the arab and muslim world and in other regions as well if we don't have a plan for that in addition to just sending drones and military operations we're not going to be able to stop recruitment to al qaida and others. are g.'s debate show cross talk said it's sights on america's use of drones in the lawless areas of pakistan that's coming up later today. this is a story shown in the drone policy is really setting the precedent for other countries and how this evolution of warfare will continue to develop and i think we're setting a very bad precedent we may not be able to change what happens in the tribal areas of pakistan but we can change all you should know more about american policy there and we don't what we have to change u.s. policy because drones are not just in the purview of the u.s. government agencies the drones are being sold to over seventy countries around the
7:07 am
world by american companies it's really companies chinese companies and so if we allow the u.s. government to. continue to use drones violating the sovereignty of other nations refusing to reveal to the american public and the international community what it's doing why it's doing it how it's doing it we will be opening up the pandora's box to a world of total chaos and lawlessness. israeli military is refusing to confirm or deny reports its warplanes have yet again breach syria's sovereignty and bomb targets there according to u.s. media reports citing a white house official the israeli air force attacked a military base storing a missile arsenal apparently destined for the lebanese group hezbollah and the incident happened near syria's port of latakia and it's not the first time that israel has been blamed for ignoring international laws by launching air strikes in
7:08 am
the state similar attacks which the israeli leadership refused to confirm took place in january may and july this year lawrence freeman from the executive intelligence review magazine explained why television keeps getting away with it. you do not have the right to attack another sovereign nation and israel has done that and if we had a functioning government according to war and you went function according to war this would be condemned and israel would be reprimanded in force would behave like a sovereign nation it won't deny it won't confirm but everybody knows they did it and that's the way they operate. go i'll say that i don't accept that and should not accept it and the only reason it is accepted is because the president united states obama allies were to occur otherwise you could not occur. meanwhile

syria has met the first deadline in an ambitious plan to get rid of its toxic arsenal by the middle of next year the mission of international chemical inspectors has said all declared chemical arms production and mixing facilities have now been destroyed and as our teams paula slayer reports from the capital damascus it was a difficult and dangerous task under the circumstances of war. dangerous and do see that's how the nobel prize committee described the work of chemical weapons inspectors inside syria not to mention a brutally tight deadline october twenty five damascus provides a detailed plan of its chemical weapons stockpiles done october twenty seven foreign inspectors visited all declared sites missed and by today syria finishes destroying all equipment used in the production and mixing of poison gas and nerve agents done yesterday wish i eliminate. whatever we can but
7:10 am
you know this is a very complicated process complications filled by so called security concerns and that's the reason why one deadline already has been missed one of the biggest problems the team faces is how to access sites in rebel controlled areas so far the rebels have been unwilling to cooperate foreign inspectors have managed to visit twenty one of twenty three sites and although they haven't furby blame the rebels damascus insists it's doing its share until now. those. sites being visited are under government control and we hope those who are controlling the. group still them to implement what they are expected to implement it's the most difficult mission ever undertaken by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons destroying a country's chemical weapons stockpile in the midst of a civil war two women are syria actually stop producing chemical weapons in one thousand nine hundred eight as a possessed alternatives that can be
7:11 am
a strategic substitution and are not in conflict with international law but none of this answers the reason why foreign inspectors are in damascus in the first place a chemical attack on august twenty first in which hundreds of people were killed off two rockets with sarin gas were fired at damascus as suburbs those responsible are still at large the next deadline in the destruction of syria's chemical weapons program is the middle. of next year by then damascus must have destroyed removed its entire stockpile and ambitious timeline in very difficult circumstances. damascus. now the destruction of the chemical equipment means that the country can no longer produce new toxic weapons but it still has to get rid of more than one thousand tons of chemicals that already exist we spoke to middle east analysts are minor wanny who believes the syrian government will be greatly relieved when all its chemical weapons are destroyed there is that evidence that rebels have some
7:12 am
their hands on some chemical weapons we've certainly seen in iraq and turkey rebels being apprehended with chemical agents components of chemical weapons in their possession. really important point and this is something i heard from a syrian government official earlier this year the syrian government has for some time now viewed chemical weapons as a liability and a burden precisely for these reasons because potentially rebels could get their hands on small amounts of these chemical agents and use them across the border in israel or turkey to then justify a military attack against the syrian government so they have been quite pleased that the international community has come together to in fact to rid them of these weapons so that excuse no longer exists. well the best line of defense is a good offer that's the tactic that could be adopted by edward snowden the whistleblower might get the chance to fight against the n.s.a. in its spying scandal with angola merkel that's still ahead for you. and

7:17 am
welcome back here with r t live from the russian capital now in rome six people including four police officers were injured during a street protest hundreds turned out for a rally to demand better social housing conditions police used tear gas in response to eggs bottles and smoke bombs being thrown at them journalist mario cuomo was at the protests he says people are desperate to be heard and seem to think violence is the only option. what i saw is that there were some people. who came to the demonstration with the helmets and so i think their intention was really to start the fight with the police and not to have a peaceful protest well i think the police and the situation correctly they're only hostile to was to roll the smoke bombs but only because they are being attacked by
7:18 am
the protesters and i think what happened is very symbolic of what is happening right now in the nation the government isn't really much caring about the progress because i think they have bigger issues like the survival of the government itself . and you can read our report from the midst of that on rats in rome on our website all the details and some of the best images are there for you. housing problems may have driven hundreds of italians into the streets in protest yet for thousands of migrants in the country the street is the only home they have and even the lucky few who are provided for the commendation often regret they ever move to italy at all artes your math on the phone. some call it a city within a city others a refugee ghetto it's like oh it's just you're freaking refugees from four african countries over twelve hundred people crammed inside a former university building in the room. where i was meeting.
7:19 am
so maybe we may get a better place here but not. to feel inside the rooms but doctor treating the refugees agreed to describe the condition of the. thirty five and thirty five showers and eighty percent of that need to be repaired with the beds are all seen in very bad condition actually a lot of people sleep with. thousands of refugees have been flocking to italy mainly across the mediterranean in search of. a better life but the country's only economic problems including the worst recession since the second world war provide very little opportunity at the same time just lieschen obliges all refugees to stay in the country where they receive asylum those who managed to avoid which the street should go further north as illegal those who don't want local shelters are running out of space for all the newcomers without a job or even
7:20 am
a place to sleep where do you go for the majority it's the train stations to meeting point for possible work or some carriage during the day a makeshift shelter at night which is on a bit of land means space so on sometimes immigrants from different countries fight each other like the old man and those from bangladesh for example pennies i don't want this area they may get there are a lot of them here various nationalities at first they came from some countries now also from eastern want the whole region is full of immigrants. polish or it is in gadget very strong activity but leave alone well also you must be. solve this problem the e.u. has pledged to give an additional thirty million euros for italy to build more shelters for the refugees but it's unlikely this will help create new jobs or ease the flow of immigrants all together because it's going off r.t. road. as always our website has plenty for you including an explosive announcement
