Day of the Syrian army. As transmits SANA, on the occasion of the Syrian Arab Army Day (August 1), a memorial to the dead soldiers was opened at the entrance to the city of Latakia. The governor of the province, Ahmad Al-Sheikh Abdel-Kader, and the secretary of the PASV committee of Lattakia Muhammad Shreitah, stressed that the army is now opposing the global anti-Syrian conspiracy. They praised the heroism of the soldiers.
Speakers at the opening of the monument expressed confidence that the servicemen will be able to win and restore peace and security in the country.
Representatives of public organizations visited 45 for injured soldiers who were being treated at the Tartus Military Hospital. Visitors donated blood, saying that this is the least that they can do as a sign of gratitude to the servicemen who are fighting against attempts by the forces of imperialism to destabilize the country.
Blood donation actions were also held in the provinces of Damascus, Suweida, Lattakia and Raqqa in recognition of the soldiers.
Comrade Asad opened the front of the ideological struggle. Polina Chernitsa told about this ("Voice of Russia").
Over three thousand subscribers per day subscribed to Bashar Assad's page on Instagram. About the profile of the Syrian president in the popular social network it became known only on Wednesday - after publications in the media. Thus, Assad is trying to participate in the information war, which is now being waged against Syria, experts say.
The account is registered a few days after the special operation against the militants near Damascus and on the eve of the capture of Homs. The Instagram profile appeared after the Facebook page and the Youtube channel.
Here is what Sergey Demidenko, an expert orientalist at the Institute for Strategic Assessment and Analysis says:
UN chemical inspectors will travel to Syria. As the "Voice of Russia" with links to RIA "News"And ITAR-TASS, UN inspectors intend to go to Syria in the next few days to investigate the use of chemical weapons. This was announced at a briefing by the UN representative Martin Nesirki.
He said that the group of international experts to investigate the use of chemical weapons, in addition to its head, Swedish professor Oka Selström, will consist of ten representatives of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Nesirky said: “The team (inspectors) will go to Syria as soon as it is convenient, and is preparing to go there within a few days. Now they are in the Hague and are ready to go to Syria as soon as logistical issues are resolved. ”
The Syrian government has invited a group of experts led by a Swedish professor to investigate the case of sarin in Khan al-Asal on March 19. But the UN leadership demanded access to other places where, according to the opposition, the authorities used chemical weapons. To resolve this issue, Selstrom and the representative of the UN Secretary General for Disarmament Affairs, Angela Kane, visited Damascus last week.
Saud broke with the Saud. Prince Khalid Bin Farhan Al Saud announced a break with the royal Al Saud family. He appealed to other princes not to be silent and speak the truth in the name of Allah. This tells "Alalam" (translation source - "Translation").
In the Saturday statement, the aforementioned prince referred to his “sufferings” under the yoke of the Al Saud regime. He also said that he thanked Allah, who helped him understand the truth about the Saudi regime through his “terrible personal experience” so that he would get an idea of the suffering of people throughout the country.
“I proudly announce my break with the Al Saud family,” he said.
He criticized the royal family for looking at the country as personal property. “The problems are deep and real,” he added, noting that he is concerned about corruption, abuse of power, fraud in parliament and in the judicial system.
The prince said that what the opposition says about political, economic, judicial, social conditions, about security, about the abuse of religious values is all right, and "the situation is even worse than described in critical comments."
In conclusion, he urged everyone who cares about the country's future to join the reform movement and stop silencing Saudi corruption.
An Israeli anti-Zionist is accused. Yesterday, the Israeli prosecutor’s office filed charges of attempting to spy for Iranian Jew living in Jerusalem, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to the Associated Press.
The 47 year-old suspect is a member of the Neturei Karta (an ultra-orthodox anti-Zionist sect seeking to eliminate Israel in its current form).
The investigation claims that in the 2011 year, this man flew to Berlin, where he contacted representatives of the Iranian intelligence service, promising information about Israel. The prosecution claims that he received an email address from the Iranians, but the contacts between the parties ended there.
The newspaper Ha'aretz writes that an Israeli interrogator said that his act was motivated by hatred of today's Israel and a thirst for profit. He also said that he would like to "change the Jews in the government of the country for the goyim."
As “Lenta” reminds, “Neturei Karta” considers the existing Israel as an artificial formation, contrary to the prophecies in the sacred texts. The sect believes that until this Jewish state is liquidated, the doors for the emergence of a “real” state will not open. Israel must revive and lead the Messiah, whose appearance is promised in the Torah. Any other options sect members declare contrary to the will of the Almighty. Therefore, the activists of the Neturei Cards cooperate with Iran, the Hamas movement, and others.
"Barak" against "Yahont". JNS.org with reference to Israel Hayom (translation source - "Translation") reports that the Israeli Navy began to install on the Saar 5 missile boats a new Barak 8 system, which should protect them from the Russian anti-ship missile Yakhont.
The 8 Barack is a medium-range system designed to repel aerial threats: interception of aircraft, UAVs, anti-ship and cruise missiles.
"AT stories there were still no ships capable of controlling the water area in the same way as the Israeli navy armed with Barak 8 missiles, an unnamed source familiar with this weapon says.
The new "Barak" is able to provide the Israeli Navy with protection against the Yakhont missile, a powerful weapon designed to destroy ships. Israel believes that it can pose a threat, especially if it falls into the hands of Hezbollah.
On the temporary closure of US embassies. Next Sunday, many US diplomatic missions will be closed for security reasons, the State Department said. The official statement does not say which embassies and consulates will not work, notes newsru.co.il.
However, CBS reported that it is planned to close embassies and consulates in Israel, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Afghanistan and Bangladesh for one day. According to the channel, the reason for this step lies in the information about the plans of Al-Qaida to commit a terrorist attack against American diplomats in the Middle Eastern and North African countries.
On Sunday night, Muslims will celebrate the Power Night (Leil al-Qadr).
Psychological sewer pressure. At a demonstration of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood near the mosque Rabaa al-Adawiyah the city sewer pipe burst. The incident occurred tonight, reports "RT" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
After breaking through the sewer pipe, a stream of sewage poured into the protesters. The Islamists decided that the security forces invented a new way of psychological pressure.
The Islamist sewer shit didn't stop. Thousands of people remained at the rally site.
Build bridges in America? No, arm Egypt! The US Senate rejected the proposal of Ron Paul to reduce financial assistance to Egypt and the use of the funds released for the construction of bridges in the US, reports newsru.co.il with reference to Fox News.
Comrade Paul proposed to stop providing Egypt with military aid in the amount of 1,5 billion, starting with the 2014 year. According to him, US laws prohibit helping the country in which a military or state coup was committed.
The senator further stated that this money should have been invested in the American infrastructure — for example, to solve the problems of unemployment in Detroit or violence in Chicago. One of the serious problems Paul mentioned was the condition of bridges in the USA.
13 senators voted on Paul’s initiative, and 86 said no.
Obama is going to curtail the program "drones" in Pakistan. The US Secretary of State said in an interview with Pakistani television that Barack Obama has a plan to curtail the program drones in Pakistan.
"As soon as most of the sources of danger are destroyed, the program will be curtailed," Kerry quotes "RT". “I think the president has a clear plan, and we hope everything will happen very soon.”
The US Secretary of State met with Foreign Minister Celjez Aziz to resume security talks, along with the strengthening of borders, anti-terrorist operations and economic revitalization.
Delete - Pentagon's favorite key. As it turned out the other day, the Pentagon has lost archival data on the conduct of hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a letter to the leadership of the House of War Veterans Committee, US Secretary of State John McHugh acknowledged that some of the operational data on military operations was lost. He writes about it RBC.
According to an investigation conducted by the Seattle Times newspaper and the journalist association Pro Publica, units and formations of the US Army that are obliged to keep and keep logs of hostilities often did not save necessary information or delete it from computers after the completion of combat operations. This led to the fact that part of the Armed Forces veterans can not now receive due monetary compensation.
However, this is not the only revealed loss in the power structures of the United States. In addition to data, the army loses things.
The service of US federal marshals recently confirmed the loss of about two thousand expensive radios designed for conducting encrypted negotiations. The cost of loss is several million dollars. Loss of walkie-talkies occurred in 2011, when the service received new devices. Upon receipt of the new radios, the old ones were declared out of order and removed from circulation. But it was not possible to establish where the old radios went to.
Japanese militarists will be stopped by South Korea, China and the USA. South Korea should join forces with the United States and China to stop the Japanese hawks. This is the general opinion expressed at the forum held in Seoul by South Korean politicians, scientists and public figures, writes Oleg Kiryanov ("Russian newspaper").
“Maybe not right now, but very soon the Abe government will begin work on changing a number of provisions of the constitution and will seek approval of amendments in a referendum. This will seriously change the post-war political system of Japan and all of politics in general, ”said Lee Myung-chan, a researcher at the South Korean Foundation for the History of Northeast Asia. He stressed that official Seoul needs to completely revise its relationship with Tokyo: "Seoul should establish stable relations with neighboring countries, including Washington and Beijing, to resist the aspirations of Japanese conservatives who do not want to repent for the crimes of Japanese militarism in the past." To this, Lee added that South Korea needs to improve relations with Pyongyang.
And the deputy from the ruling party "Senuri" Nam Gen Phil called for close cooperation between those countries that suffered from Japan or opposed it in World War II.
“We should consider new forms and patterns of interaction. For example, cooperation in the South Korea-US-China triangle, ”he said.
A professor at Seoul University, Yonse Son Yeol, spoke similarly: "Korea should make clear to Japan that all its attempts to ignore past crimes will negatively affect security cooperation within the framework of the Seoul-Washington-Tokyo alliance."
Japanese hawks want more money for military spending. As the correspondent ITAR-TASS Alan Bulkaty, the Japanese Ministry of Defense will seek to increase funding by at least 180 billion yen (1,8 billion dollars) when drafting a budget for next year.
A similar step in the defense ministry is attributed to rising prices for imported military equipment, which is caused by the weakening of the yen.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Japan considers it necessary to increase military spending in response to the increased, according to official Tokyo, "activity of China and Russia in the Pacific". The reason is the need to respond to the actions of the DPRK.
The Chinese are not going to concede. Today, China has confirmed the entry of its naval police ships into the area of the disputed Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku). This was reported by the State Oceanographic Administration of China, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Fedor Zhirov.
In a statement, the ministry states that China sent the ships Hayjing-2350, Haijing-2101, Haijing-2166 and Haijing-2506 to the sea zone. Earlier, the PRC declared that it was patrolling the territory around the disputed archipelago in order to "protect its sovereignty."
He wanted to blow up the subway in Beijing. Chinese police arrested a man who posted a message on the Internet threatening to blow up the Beijing subway, reports RIA News" with reference to Xinhua.
It's about 25-year-old man Lee. Notes with the threat of blowing up the Beijing metro he published 24 and 25 July on QQ.
As the detainee explained, his statements were prompted by the arrest of the singer Wu Hongfei. The latter fell into the hands of the police after leaving a message of intent to blow up the building of the Beijing Committee for Construction Affairs.
Two years flowed radioactive water. For two years, Japanese experts turned a blind eye to the leakage of radioactive water at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. It turns out that the problems at the NPP to the company-operator “Tokyo Electric Power” became known in April 2011. However, for a number of reasons, no action was taken, not only to eliminate, but also to eliminate the consequences, writes Edward Gushchin ("Russian newspaper").
And only this summer, when it was officially recognized that the radioactive water flowing out of the basement of the station into the sea, experts began to solve the problem.
Bolivia is worried about a disease affecting the coca crop. An unknown disease could jeopardize the coca leaf crop in Bolivia this year, reports correspondent RIA "News" Dmitry Znamensky with reference to Latin American media.
The disease affects the stem of the coca bush and the roots, after which the leaves turn yellow and fall off. Cocaler peasants turned for help to Cochabamba State University. They can also count on the help of the president, because Evo Morales once collected coca leaves himself, and today he is headed by one of the trade unions of the cocaryos.
The country's authorities are fighting illegal drug trafficking, but Morales has been protecting coca as a plant for years. He believes that the coca leaves themselves are not a drug and form part of the culture of the Andes. In Bolivia, from 62% to 67% of the Indian population is chewing coca leaves. The president even organized a special holiday - the National Day of chewing coca leaves.
The USA has less money for “defense”. The unstable economic situation of the United States has a negative impact on the state’s combat readiness. According to Defense Minister Chuck Hagel, in the process of modernizing the US armed forces, a “decade-long vacation” may occur, because the Pentagon’s planned budget cuts will lead to a decrease in the combat readiness of the American troops. This writes Edward Guschin ("Russian newspaper").
Hagel said that experts have made such a conclusion on the basis of an analysis of the Pentagon’s budget. Experts have compiled scenarios that provide various options for reducing defense spending in the 2014 fiscal year and a decade ahead.
According to one scenario, the number of marines will decline from 182 thousand to 150-175 thousand, and the number of carrier strike groups will be reduced from 11 to 8 or 10.
According to the second scenario, the number of US troops will remain at the current level, but the agency will have to abandon the modernization of heavily outdated weapons.
Samantha Power has been the US envoy to the United Nations. The US Senate approved the candidature of Samantha Power for the post of Permanent Representative of the country to the UN, reports correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev.
87 senators supported her candidacies, and 10 opposed them.
The US President expressed satisfaction with the decision of the legislators. The head of state is confident that Power will best show himself in the new post: “As a well-known human rights defender, she will defend universal rights, fundamental freedoms and the national interests of the United States. I am grateful to Samantha for continuing to work in my team, and I know that under her leadership our mission to the UN will continue to present American diplomacy in the best possible way. ”
West scolds - it means praises. According to The Washington Post, after the collapse of the USSR, and especially after Putin came to power, the well-known anti-Western, religious-conservative rhetoric about Russia's exclusivity, Western criticism was perceived by many as a positive assessment of government actions.
According to the newspaper, which transmits "InoTV"if the Soviet Union was a self-confident superpower that still maintained working relations with Western countries, modern Russia is an unreliable country with a bunch of internal problems. Putin, on the other hand, points out that criticism from the West about human rights is cultural imperialism and an attack on the greatness of Russia.
Past attempts to put pressure on Russia in matters of human rights violations led to the fact that Russian officials with even greater zeal began to show disregard for the West. In response to the adoption of the “Magnitsky Act”, the Kremlin prohibited American families from adopting orphans from Russia. Yes, some Russians opposed this law, but for many it became “the subject of national pride openly not to obey Western dictatorship,” the American edition notes.
Against Stolichnaya, against LUKoil. In New York, poured vodka in front of the Russian Embassy. This tells "InoTV" with reference to the Associated Press.
Ann Northrop, a Queer Nation organization, says: “Today we came here to the Russian consulate in New York to demonstrate to the Putin government and Russian business circles, and specifically to Russian vodka producers, that we will not be silent when they attack our community and make us scapegoats. We are angry that the Putin government and the legislature have passed new laws that made it a criminal offense to be homosexual in Russia. ”
And here is what Daniel Kucera, the owner of Etcetera etcetera, said:
“I have a restaurant here in the city. And we poured all the Russian drinks and asked our visitors to do the same and not to order them anymore. In addition, we asked them not to support LUKoil gas stations, and not to buy Russian foodstuffs. This is a modest contribution, but it seems to me that we, at least, can at least do something for the sake of human rights. ”
Snowden had documents. Edward Snowden received temporary asylum in Russia and left the Sheremetyevo transit zone. As transmits "RG" With reference to ITAR-TASS, this happened on August 1 around 15: 30 hours Moscow time.
A source in the border department said: "The border control authorities received the necessary documents from the Federal Migration Service, on the basis of which he was given the right to be in the territory of the Russian Federation."
Temporary asylum granted to Snowden for one year.
About where the American went, not reported. He drove a taxi.
Ilona Yarosh ("Voice of Russia") asked questions about Snowden to the experts.
The lawyer of the former US intelligence officer Anatoly Kucherena said that Snowden left on a regular taxi and alone. He added: “Snowden was granted a certificate of temporary asylum in the territory of the Russian Federation. According to the current Russian legislation, this document is issued for one year. That is, it must be located on the territory of the Russian Federation for a year. ”
Snowden document is issued as a passport. In the upper left corner it is indicated that this certificate of temporary asylum in the Russian Federation, issued in the name of Snowden Edward Joseph, 21.06.1983 year of birth, having US citizenship, birthplace - US. Document number FMS - WU 90011330.
Kucherena said: “He remains on the territory of Russia, then he will want to go to Europe, America — he will personally solve these issues already. To date, he has no such plans yet. ”
Also, the lawyer noted that Snowden had got in Russia friends-Americans who would help him.
Sergei Markov, member of the Public Chamber, Vice-Rector of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, believes that E. Snowden will remain in Russia for a while: “If the Americans continue to block Snowden’s stay in Russia, then he will be forced to remain in Russia. We cannot give Snowden to them from our territory for several reasons. The first reason is legal. We do not have an agreement with the Americans on the need for mutual extradition of criminals, despite the fact that we have offered the Americans to conclude such an agreement many times. In addition, Snowden did not violate any of our laws. And in America, Snowden is threatened with torture, an unfair trial and the death penalty. ”
Alexander Sorkin ("Voice of Russia") reports that German human rights organizations awarded Edward Snowden the “Disclosure Award - 2013”.
The head of the German branch of the organization “Transparency International” Edda Muller gave an exclusive interview to the Berlin office of the Voice of Russia. Here is what she said about the award: “The Exposure Award” was established by the Association of German Scholars (VDW) and the German branch of the International Association of Nuclear Lawyers (IALANA). We took part in this ceremony, because the topic of information protection, from our point of view, is of great interest today against the background of the global spread of communication technologies. How can we protect our data in this situation? We believe that Snowden committed a courageous act. Thus, we once again wanted to emphasize our demand for the protection of whistleblowing informers. ”
To the question “Do you personally consider Snowden a hero?” Edda Muller replied:
We are talking about Manning. Edda Muller said:
Lindsay Graham believes that Putin does not respect Obama. The news of granting Snowden political asylum in Russia "infuriated" the American parliamentarians, reports "Fox News".
"If this information is true, Washington should regard this as a turning point in relations with Russia," - quotes "InoTV" the words of the Republican Senator Lindsay Graham.
He called Russia's decision a provocation and "a sign of Vladimir Putin’s apparent lack of respect for President Obama." The senator urged the US government to give a "hard answer" to Russia's decision.
As for Obama, he didn’t even have words in response to the decision of Moscow on Snowden.
No words. As transmits correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev, the US president did not comment on the situation with the provision of temporary asylum to Russia Snowden.
After negotiations with the president of Yemen, several journalists asked Mr. Obama to comment on the situation with Snowden. In response, the head of state said with a smile: "Thank you all."
Will a scammer day come to the US? In the US, there may be a new holiday - National Day of the informer. This tells Sergei Duz ("Voice of Russia").
The author of the idea of a new holiday was Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. “Any actions to support whistleblowers and their protection should be in the sphere of state responsibility. If you know that the laws were violated and the money was wasted, you have the patriotic duty to report it, ”he said.
Senator suggested calling a holiday as follows: National Day of Recognition of the Whistleblowers. Celebration date - 30 July. It is not accidental. On this day 235 years ago, the founding fathers in Congress adopted the first American document concerning whistleblowers, the Whistleblower Protection Act.
The law, approved by 30 July 1778, states: “The duty of all people serving the US, as well as all other residents, to immediately provide the Congress or any other appropriate agency with information about any misconduct, fraud or offense committed any officials. "
Well, today the Americans have a new reason to celebrate the National Day of the informer - namely, July 30. Indeed, this very day the sentence in the case of B. Manning was announced.
Due to the coincidence of the dates, Grassley risks remaining in the minority, says Alexander Gusev of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences:
And this is what Sergey Markov, a member of the Public Chamber, director of the Institute for Political Studies says:
Latest information about US foreign debt. A new study by an American economist suggests that the US federal debt is many times larger than official figures. A study by James Hamilton (University of California) notes that the off-balance sheet liabilities of the US government are six times the official debt: they are 70,1 trillions of dollars. Reports about it Press TV (translation source - Mixednews.ru).
“Over the past few years, the federal debt of the United States has increased dramatically,” writes Comrade Hamilton in the work for the National Bureau of Economic Research. “But officially reported debt is just one of the facets of that burden that remains for future taxpayers. In addition to this, the government assumed a number of explicit and implicit commitments not included in the official net debt figures, but they would require much greater adjustments in expenditures and taxation in the future than those associated with interest payments on official debt. ”
Most of the “unrecorded debt” is made up of off-balance sheet commitments for social security programs (26,5 trillion) and Medical care (27,6 trillion dollars).
Hamilton’s paper says: “These numbers are so huge that it’s difficult to even discuss them in a coherent way ...” “Gathering all the figures together, I calculated that total federal off-balance sheet obligations are around 70 trillions of dollars, or 6 times the official debt figures ".
Monica Lewinsky as the Republican "Cossack". Until now, it was believed that Monica was the victim of harassment on his part. However, the “poor sheep”, according to one published record, previously considered lost, carefully prepared a trap for a loving chief, writes Yevgeny Shestakov ("Russian newspaper").
When viewing the printouts of Monica's revelations, which she sent to the head of the White House instead of the usual letter, a thought arises: wasn’t there a sign of the Cossack who was Monica? And the story of seduction is not an operation developed by republican political consultants?
From the recording made in November 1997 of the year, it becomes clear that the girl acts as a seductress, achieving the goal: “I learned that tomorrow evening you will be alone. I have two sentences for you. But it won't work if you don't see me ... I could take off my clothes, and ... Well, in short, I know, how could you not like this? "
The paper version, published by The National Enquier, reflects some very interesting moments. From the recording made by Monica, it becomes clear that her attempts to seduce the head of the White House did not go unnoticed and caused outrage among Clinton's associates. They tried to prevent the temptress.
About these people, Lewinsky writes: "We need to make sure that everyone else who cannot stand me and gives me a lot of problems will go home." Further: “Then you quickly and imperceptibly come back, and in the meantime I will flash, and then we will have a nice little meeting, you know, for 15 minutes or half an hour. As you wish".
Republicans slipped Bill "Cossack", or not, and Clinton still had a hard time: it almost did not end with the impeachment. However, let us add, from a historical perspective, the former president is not so bad. He is one of the most popular presidents in the history of his native country.
According to a Gallup poll last year on the attitude of US residents to the current president and former heads of state, Ronald Reagan showed the best result (his cumulative rating was 59 points). Next on the list of popularity are: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Richard Nixon. (Source - Alex Grigoriev, "Voice of America").
The journalist notes that a similar Gallup poll was conducted in January on 2009. Over the past since then, the rating of Bush Jr has slightly improved: three years ago this ex-president was in last place. Over three years, Clinton, Reagan, and Bush Sr. became popular.
Probably add on my own, thanks to the cabinet love of Monica, Americans will soon make Clinton the sex symbol of the nation.
Another question is, what memory will LGBT Obama fan leave about ...
Day of the Syrian army. As transmits SANA, on the occasion of the Syrian Arab Army Day (August 1), a memorial to the dead soldiers was opened at the entrance to the city of Latakia. The governor of the province, Ahmad Al-Sheikh Abdel-Kader, and the secretary of the PASV committee of Lattakia Muhammad Shreitah, stressed that the army is now opposing the global anti-Syrian conspiracy.

Comrade Asad opened the front of the ideological struggle. Polina Chernitsa told about this ("Voice of Russia").
Over three thousand subscribers per day subscribed to Bashar Assad's page on Instagram. About the profile of the Syrian president in the popular social network it became known only on Wednesday - after publications in the media.

Here is what Sergey Demidenko, an expert orientalist at the Institute for Strategic Assessment and Analysis says:
“Here it is necessary to take into account the personality of Assad. When he came to power in 2000, he ordered all his portraits to be removed from city streets and squares, promising a different course, without a personality cult. Here he is sometimes inclined to such a bit pozerskim shares. On the other hand, he is trying to participate in the information war now being waged against Syria. Plus - he always had a very big weakness for the Internet. And in general, when he came to power, he said that the promotion of new technologies, education would make Syria a great Asian power. ”
UN chemical inspectors will travel to Syria. As the "Voice of Russia" with links to RIA "News"And ITAR-TASS, UN inspectors intend to go to Syria in the next few days to investigate the use of chemical weapons. This was announced at a briefing by the UN representative Martin Nesirki.
He said that the group of international experts to investigate the use of chemical weapons, in addition to its head, Swedish professor Oka Selström, will consist of ten representatives of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

But the UN leadership demanded access to other places where, according to the opposition, the authorities used chemical weapons.

“I proudly announce my break with the Al Saud family,” he said.
"The regime of Saudi Arabia is not subject to either God's laws or the laws of the country, and its policies, decisions and actions are fully based on the personal desires of its leaders."
“All that is said in Saudi Arabia about respecting the law and religious institutions is all false, everything is forged so that they can lie and pretend that the regime obeys the laws of Islam.”
“All that is said in Saudi Arabia about respecting the law and religious institutions is all false, everything is forged so that they can lie and pretend that the regime obeys the laws of Islam.”
He criticized the royal family for looking at the country as personal property. “The problems are deep and real,” he added, noting that he is concerned about corruption, abuse of power, fraud in parliament and in the judicial system.
The prince said that what the opposition says about political, economic, judicial, social conditions, about security, about the abuse of religious values is all right, and "the situation is even worse than described in critical comments."
In conclusion, he urged everyone who cares about the country's future to join the reform movement and stop silencing Saudi corruption.
An Israeli anti-Zionist is accused. Yesterday, the Israeli prosecutor’s office filed charges of attempting to spy for Iranian Jew living in Jerusalem, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to the Associated Press.
The 47 year-old suspect is a member of the Neturei Karta (an ultra-orthodox anti-Zionist sect seeking to eliminate Israel in its current form).
The investigation claims that in the 2011 year, this man flew to Berlin, where he contacted representatives of the Iranian intelligence service, promising information about Israel. The prosecution claims that he received an email address from the Iranians, but the contacts between the parties ended there.
The newspaper Ha'aretz writes that an Israeli interrogator said that his act was motivated by hatred of today's Israel and a thirst for profit. He also said that he would like to "change the Jews in the government of the country for the goyim."
As “Lenta” reminds, “Neturei Karta” considers the existing Israel as an artificial formation, contrary to the prophecies in the sacred texts. The sect believes that until this Jewish state is liquidated, the doors for the emergence of a “real” state will not open. Israel must revive and lead the Messiah, whose appearance is promised in the Torah. Any other options sect members declare contrary to the will of the Almighty. Therefore, the activists of the Neturei Cards cooperate with Iran, the Hamas movement, and others.
"Barak" against "Yahont". JNS.org with reference to Israel Hayom (translation source - "Translation") reports that the Israeli Navy began to install on the Saar 5 missile boats a new Barak 8 system, which should protect them from the Russian anti-ship missile Yakhont.
The 8 Barack is a medium-range system designed to repel aerial threats: interception of aircraft, UAVs, anti-ship and cruise missiles.
"AT stories there were still no ships capable of controlling the water area in the same way as the Israeli navy armed with Barak 8 missiles, an unnamed source familiar with this weapon says.
The new "Barak" is able to provide the Israeli Navy with protection against the Yakhont missile, a powerful weapon designed to destroy ships. Israel believes that it can pose a threat, especially if it falls into the hands of Hezbollah.
On the temporary closure of US embassies. Next Sunday, many US diplomatic missions will be closed for security reasons, the State Department said. The official statement does not say which embassies and consulates will not work, notes newsru.co.il.
However, CBS reported that it is planned to close embassies and consulates in Israel, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Afghanistan and Bangladesh for one day. According to the channel, the reason for this step lies in the information about the plans of Al-Qaida to commit a terrorist attack against American diplomats in the Middle Eastern and North African countries.
On Sunday night, Muslims will celebrate the Power Night (Leil al-Qadr).
Psychological sewer pressure. At a demonstration of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood near the mosque Rabaa al-Adawiyah the city sewer pipe burst. The incident occurred tonight, reports "RT" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
After breaking through the sewer pipe, a stream of sewage poured into the protesters. The Islamists decided that the security forces invented a new way of psychological pressure.
“The demonstrators began urgently to build sand barriers. And around the mosque, the participants of the performance rushed to build peculiar dams of paving slabs, which had been chipped a few days before in the whole area. ”
The Islamist sewer shit didn't stop. Thousands of people remained at the rally site.
Build bridges in America? No, arm Egypt! The US Senate rejected the proposal of Ron Paul to reduce financial assistance to Egypt and the use of the funds released for the construction of bridges in the US, reports newsru.co.il with reference to Fox News.
Comrade Paul proposed to stop providing Egypt with military aid in the amount of 1,5 billion, starting with the 2014 year. According to him, US laws prohibit helping the country in which a military or state coup was committed.
The senator further stated that this money should have been invested in the American infrastructure — for example, to solve the problems of unemployment in Detroit or violence in Chicago. One of the serious problems Paul mentioned was the condition of bridges in the USA.
13 senators voted on Paul’s initiative, and 86 said no.
Obama is going to curtail the program "drones" in Pakistan. The US Secretary of State said in an interview with Pakistani television that Barack Obama has a plan to curtail the program drones in Pakistan.
"As soon as most of the sources of danger are destroyed, the program will be curtailed," Kerry quotes "RT". “I think the president has a clear plan, and we hope everything will happen very soon.”
The US Secretary of State met with Foreign Minister Celjez Aziz to resume security talks, along with the strengthening of borders, anti-terrorist operations and economic revitalization.
Delete - Pentagon's favorite key. As it turned out the other day, the Pentagon has lost archival data on the conduct of hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a letter to the leadership of the House of War Veterans Committee, US Secretary of State John McHugh acknowledged that some of the operational data on military operations was lost. He writes about it RBC.
According to an investigation conducted by the Seattle Times newspaper and the journalist association Pro Publica, units and formations of the US Army that are obliged to keep and keep logs of hostilities often did not save necessary information or delete it from computers after the completion of combat operations. This led to the fact that part of the Armed Forces veterans can not now receive due monetary compensation.
However, this is not the only revealed loss in the power structures of the United States. In addition to data, the army loses things.
The service of US federal marshals recently confirmed the loss of about two thousand expensive radios designed for conducting encrypted negotiations. The cost of loss is several million dollars. Loss of walkie-talkies occurred in 2011, when the service received new devices. Upon receipt of the new radios, the old ones were declared out of order and removed from circulation. But it was not possible to establish where the old radios went to.
Japanese militarists will be stopped by South Korea, China and the USA. South Korea should join forces with the United States and China to stop the Japanese hawks. This is the general opinion expressed at the forum held in Seoul by South Korean politicians, scientists and public figures, writes Oleg Kiryanov ("Russian newspaper").
“Maybe not right now, but very soon the Abe government will begin work on changing a number of provisions of the constitution and will seek approval of amendments in a referendum. This will seriously change the post-war political system of Japan and all of politics in general, ”said Lee Myung-chan, a researcher at the South Korean Foundation for the History of Northeast Asia. He stressed that official Seoul needs to completely revise its relationship with Tokyo: "Seoul should establish stable relations with neighboring countries, including Washington and Beijing, to resist the aspirations of Japanese conservatives who do not want to repent for the crimes of Japanese militarism in the past." To this, Lee added that South Korea needs to improve relations with Pyongyang.
And the deputy from the ruling party "Senuri" Nam Gen Phil called for close cooperation between those countries that suffered from Japan or opposed it in World War II.
“We should consider new forms and patterns of interaction. For example, cooperation in the South Korea-US-China triangle, ”he said.
A professor at Seoul University, Yonse Son Yeol, spoke similarly: "Korea should make clear to Japan that all its attempts to ignore past crimes will negatively affect security cooperation within the framework of the Seoul-Washington-Tokyo alliance."
Japanese hawks want more money for military spending. As the correspondent ITAR-TASS Alan Bulkaty, the Japanese Ministry of Defense will seek to increase funding by at least 180 billion yen (1,8 billion dollars) when drafting a budget for next year.
A similar step in the defense ministry is attributed to rising prices for imported military equipment, which is caused by the weakening of the yen.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Japan considers it necessary to increase military spending in response to the increased, according to official Tokyo, "activity of China and Russia in the Pacific". The reason is the need to respond to the actions of the DPRK.
The Chinese are not going to concede. Today, China has confirmed the entry of its naval police ships into the area of the disputed Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku). This was reported by the State Oceanographic Administration of China, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Fedor Zhirov.
In a statement, the ministry states that China sent the ships Hayjing-2350, Haijing-2101, Haijing-2166 and Haijing-2506 to the sea zone. Earlier, the PRC declared that it was patrolling the territory around the disputed archipelago in order to "protect its sovereignty."
He wanted to blow up the subway in Beijing. Chinese police arrested a man who posted a message on the Internet threatening to blow up the Beijing subway, reports RIA News" with reference to Xinhua.
It's about 25-year-old man Lee. Notes with the threat of blowing up the Beijing metro he published 24 and 25 July on QQ.
As the detainee explained, his statements were prompted by the arrest of the singer Wu Hongfei. The latter fell into the hands of the police after leaving a message of intent to blow up the building of the Beijing Committee for Construction Affairs.
Two years flowed radioactive water. For two years, Japanese experts turned a blind eye to the leakage of radioactive water at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. It turns out that the problems at the NPP to the company-operator “Tokyo Electric Power” became known in April 2011. However, for a number of reasons, no action was taken, not only to eliminate, but also to eliminate the consequences, writes Edward Gushchin ("Russian newspaper").
And only this summer, when it was officially recognized that the radioactive water flowing out of the basement of the station into the sea, experts began to solve the problem.
Bolivia is worried about a disease affecting the coca crop. An unknown disease could jeopardize the coca leaf crop in Bolivia this year, reports correspondent RIA "News" Dmitry Znamensky with reference to Latin American media.
The disease affects the stem of the coca bush and the roots, after which the leaves turn yellow and fall off. Cocaler peasants turned for help to Cochabamba State University. They can also count on the help of the president, because Evo Morales once collected coca leaves himself, and today he is headed by one of the trade unions of the cocaryos.
The country's authorities are fighting illegal drug trafficking, but Morales has been protecting coca as a plant for years. He believes that the coca leaves themselves are not a drug and form part of the culture of the Andes. In Bolivia, from 62% to 67% of the Indian population is chewing coca leaves. The president even organized a special holiday - the National Day of chewing coca leaves.
The USA has less money for “defense”. The unstable economic situation of the United States has a negative impact on the state’s combat readiness. According to Defense Minister Chuck Hagel, in the process of modernizing the US armed forces, a “decade-long vacation” may occur, because the Pentagon’s planned budget cuts will lead to a decrease in the combat readiness of the American troops. This writes Edward Guschin ("Russian newspaper").
Hagel said that experts have made such a conclusion on the basis of an analysis of the Pentagon’s budget. Experts have compiled scenarios that provide various options for reducing defense spending in the 2014 fiscal year and a decade ahead.
According to one scenario, the number of marines will decline from 182 thousand to 150-175 thousand, and the number of carrier strike groups will be reduced from 11 to 8 or 10.
According to the second scenario, the number of US troops will remain at the current level, but the agency will have to abandon the modernization of heavily outdated weapons.
Samantha Power has been the US envoy to the United Nations. The US Senate approved the candidature of Samantha Power for the post of Permanent Representative of the country to the UN, reports correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev.
87 senators supported her candidacies, and 10 opposed them.
The US President expressed satisfaction with the decision of the legislators. The head of state is confident that Power will best show himself in the new post: “As a well-known human rights defender, she will defend universal rights, fundamental freedoms and the national interests of the United States. I am grateful to Samantha for continuing to work in my team, and I know that under her leadership our mission to the UN will continue to present American diplomacy in the best possible way. ”
West scolds - it means praises. According to The Washington Post, after the collapse of the USSR, and especially after Putin came to power, the well-known anti-Western, religious-conservative rhetoric about Russia's exclusivity, Western criticism was perceived by many as a positive assessment of government actions.
According to the newspaper, which transmits "InoTV"if the Soviet Union was a self-confident superpower that still maintained working relations with Western countries, modern Russia is an unreliable country with a bunch of internal problems. Putin, on the other hand, points out that criticism from the West about human rights is cultural imperialism and an attack on the greatness of Russia.
Past attempts to put pressure on Russia in matters of human rights violations led to the fact that Russian officials with even greater zeal began to show disregard for the West. In response to the adoption of the “Magnitsky Act”, the Kremlin prohibited American families from adopting orphans from Russia. Yes, some Russians opposed this law, but for many it became “the subject of national pride openly not to obey Western dictatorship,” the American edition notes.
Against Stolichnaya, against LUKoil. In New York, poured vodka in front of the Russian Embassy. This tells "InoTV" with reference to the Associated Press.
Ann Northrop, a Queer Nation organization, says: “Today we came here to the Russian consulate in New York to demonstrate to the Putin government and Russian business circles, and specifically to Russian vodka producers, that we will not be silent when they attack our community and make us scapegoats. We are angry that the Putin government and the legislature have passed new laws that made it a criminal offense to be homosexual in Russia. ”
And here is what Daniel Kucera, the owner of Etcetera etcetera, said:
“I have a restaurant here in the city. And we poured all the Russian drinks and asked our visitors to do the same and not to order them anymore. In addition, we asked them not to support LUKoil gas stations, and not to buy Russian foodstuffs. This is a modest contribution, but it seems to me that we, at least, can at least do something for the sake of human rights. ”
Snowden had documents. Edward Snowden received temporary asylum in Russia and left the Sheremetyevo transit zone. As transmits "RG" With reference to ITAR-TASS, this happened on August 1 around 15: 30 hours Moscow time.
A source in the border department said: "The border control authorities received the necessary documents from the Federal Migration Service, on the basis of which he was given the right to be in the territory of the Russian Federation."
Temporary asylum granted to Snowden for one year.
About where the American went, not reported. He drove a taxi.
Ilona Yarosh ("Voice of Russia") asked questions about Snowden to the experts.
The lawyer of the former US intelligence officer Anatoly Kucherena said that Snowden left on a regular taxi and alone. He added: “Snowden was granted a certificate of temporary asylum in the territory of the Russian Federation. According to the current Russian legislation, this document is issued for one year. That is, it must be located on the territory of the Russian Federation for a year. ”
Snowden document is issued as a passport. In the upper left corner it is indicated that this certificate of temporary asylum in the Russian Federation, issued in the name of Snowden Edward Joseph, 21.06.1983 year of birth, having US citizenship, birthplace - US. Document number FMS - WU 90011330.
Kucherena said: “He remains on the territory of Russia, then he will want to go to Europe, America — he will personally solve these issues already. To date, he has no such plans yet. ”
Also, the lawyer noted that Snowden had got in Russia friends-Americans who would help him.
Sergei Markov, member of the Public Chamber, Vice-Rector of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, believes that E. Snowden will remain in Russia for a while: “If the Americans continue to block Snowden’s stay in Russia, then he will be forced to remain in Russia. We cannot give Snowden to them from our territory for several reasons. The first reason is legal. We do not have an agreement with the Americans on the need for mutual extradition of criminals, despite the fact that we have offered the Americans to conclude such an agreement many times. In addition, Snowden did not violate any of our laws. And in America, Snowden is threatened with torture, an unfair trial and the death penalty. ”
Alexander Sorkin ("Voice of Russia") reports that German human rights organizations awarded Edward Snowden the “Disclosure Award - 2013”.
The head of the German branch of the organization “Transparency International” Edda Muller gave an exclusive interview to the Berlin office of the Voice of Russia. Here is what she said about the award: “The Exposure Award” was established by the Association of German Scholars (VDW) and the German branch of the International Association of Nuclear Lawyers (IALANA). We took part in this ceremony, because the topic of information protection, from our point of view, is of great interest today against the background of the global spread of communication technologies. How can we protect our data in this situation? We believe that Snowden committed a courageous act. Thus, we once again wanted to emphasize our demand for the protection of whistleblowing informers. ”
To the question “Do you personally consider Snowden a hero?” Edda Muller replied:
“I consider him a person who meets all the criteria of the whistleblower. He acts unselfishly, boldly, and, based on this, his actions deserve every respect. If one assumes the severity of the punishment that he may expect, and this we can observe in the example of the Manning case, then its severity is simply impossible to imagine. A man appears who exposes espionage and is put on trial for his act. This is not quite clear to me. Can you call him a hero? I believe that he showed great civic courage, and such people are necessary for our society. ”
We are talking about Manning. Edda Muller said:
“... I already mentioned Manning. He told the world about the horrors of war, which, of course, do not find support in American society, and the fact that he was so severely punished for this is, in my opinion, a complete absurdity. Debunkers appear in a society in which injustice exists and in which human rights are violated. ”
Lindsay Graham believes that Putin does not respect Obama. The news of granting Snowden political asylum in Russia "infuriated" the American parliamentarians, reports "Fox News".
"If this information is true, Washington should regard this as a turning point in relations with Russia," - quotes "InoTV" the words of the Republican Senator Lindsay Graham.
He called Russia's decision a provocation and "a sign of Vladimir Putin’s apparent lack of respect for President Obama." The senator urged the US government to give a "hard answer" to Russia's decision.
As for Obama, he didn’t even have words in response to the decision of Moscow on Snowden.
No words. As transmits correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev, the US president did not comment on the situation with the provision of temporary asylum to Russia Snowden.
After negotiations with the president of Yemen, several journalists asked Mr. Obama to comment on the situation with Snowden. In response, the head of state said with a smile: "Thank you all."
Will a scammer day come to the US? In the US, there may be a new holiday - National Day of the informer. This tells Sergei Duz ("Voice of Russia").
The author of the idea of a new holiday was Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. “Any actions to support whistleblowers and their protection should be in the sphere of state responsibility. If you know that the laws were violated and the money was wasted, you have the patriotic duty to report it, ”he said.
Senator suggested calling a holiday as follows: National Day of Recognition of the Whistleblowers. Celebration date - 30 July. It is not accidental. On this day 235 years ago, the founding fathers in Congress adopted the first American document concerning whistleblowers, the Whistleblower Protection Act.
The law, approved by 30 July 1778, states: “The duty of all people serving the US, as well as all other residents, to immediately provide the Congress or any other appropriate agency with information about any misconduct, fraud or offense committed any officials. "
Well, today the Americans have a new reason to celebrate the National Day of the informer - namely, July 30. Indeed, this very day the sentence in the case of B. Manning was announced.
Due to the coincidence of the dates, Grassley risks remaining in the minority, says Alexander Gusev of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences:
“As for the senator’s proposal, it will probably not be supported by either the Democrats or the Republicans. Although the Republicans in the Senate more than Democrats. Nevertheless, I believe that the proposal will not receive a wide resonance. And it is unlikely that there will be such a day in the USA. This bill must be signed by the President of the United States. And this, too, is unlikely to happen against the backdrop of a world scandal with Edward Snowden. Many Americans now perceive the problem in the context of his revelations. He "opened the cards." How to evaluate it? On this issue, the American society is split: is Snowden an informer, is he considered a informer? The issue of awareness unfolded on 180 degrees. Everything is very confused.
And this is what Sergey Markov, a member of the Public Chamber, director of the Institute for Political Studies says:
“It seems to me that the bill“ about the day of the informer ”has every chance of being accepted. Of course, it will not be some broad American holiday. But he emphasizes the peculiarity of American society: a person who reports an offense to the authorities is not a snitch, but a citizen who cares about the public good. Especially since a new context is emerging: should a person who speaks of violations on the part of the government itself be considered an informer? In principle, there are not many countries where smashing is considered something negative, as in Russia. This is due to a long history of criminal consciousness, terrorist methods of power, state institutions, which, unfortunately, Russia has. But in developed countries it is believed that the government is doing the right thing. And, if someone breaks the law, patriotic duty to report it. I hope that in Russia it will someday be like this. ”
Latest information about US foreign debt. A new study by an American economist suggests that the US federal debt is many times larger than official figures. A study by James Hamilton (University of California) notes that the off-balance sheet liabilities of the US government are six times the official debt: they are 70,1 trillions of dollars. Reports about it Press TV (translation source - Mixednews.ru).
“Over the past few years, the federal debt of the United States has increased dramatically,” writes Comrade Hamilton in the work for the National Bureau of Economic Research. “But officially reported debt is just one of the facets of that burden that remains for future taxpayers. In addition to this, the government assumed a number of explicit and implicit commitments not included in the official net debt figures, but they would require much greater adjustments in expenditures and taxation in the future than those associated with interest payments on official debt. ”
Most of the “unrecorded debt” is made up of off-balance sheet commitments for social security programs (26,5 trillion) and Medical care (27,6 trillion dollars).
Hamilton’s paper says: “These numbers are so huge that it’s difficult to even discuss them in a coherent way ...” “Gathering all the figures together, I calculated that total federal off-balance sheet obligations are around 70 trillions of dollars, or 6 times the official debt figures ".
Monica Lewinsky as the Republican "Cossack". Until now, it was believed that Monica was the victim of harassment on his part. However, the “poor sheep”, according to one published record, previously considered lost, carefully prepared a trap for a loving chief, writes Yevgeny Shestakov ("Russian newspaper").
When viewing the printouts of Monica's revelations, which she sent to the head of the White House instead of the usual letter, a thought arises: wasn’t there a sign of the Cossack who was Monica? And the story of seduction is not an operation developed by republican political consultants?
From the recording made in November 1997 of the year, it becomes clear that the girl acts as a seductress, achieving the goal: “I learned that tomorrow evening you will be alone. I have two sentences for you. But it won't work if you don't see me ... I could take off my clothes, and ... Well, in short, I know, how could you not like this? "
The paper version, published by The National Enquier, reflects some very interesting moments. From the recording made by Monica, it becomes clear that her attempts to seduce the head of the White House did not go unnoticed and caused outrage among Clinton's associates. They tried to prevent the temptress.
About these people, Lewinsky writes: "We need to make sure that everyone else who cannot stand me and gives me a lot of problems will go home." Further: “Then you quickly and imperceptibly come back, and in the meantime I will flash, and then we will have a nice little meeting, you know, for 15 minutes or half an hour. As you wish".
Republicans slipped Bill "Cossack", or not, and Clinton still had a hard time: it almost did not end with the impeachment. However, let us add, from a historical perspective, the former president is not so bad. He is one of the most popular presidents in the history of his native country.
According to a Gallup poll last year on the attitude of US residents to the current president and former heads of state, Ronald Reagan showed the best result (his cumulative rating was 59 points). Next on the list of popularity are: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Richard Nixon. (Source - Alex Grigoriev, "Voice of America").
The journalist notes that a similar Gallup poll was conducted in January on 2009. Over the past since then, the rating of Bush Jr has slightly improved: three years ago this ex-president was in last place. Over three years, Clinton, Reagan, and Bush Sr. became popular.
Probably add on my own, thanks to the cabinet love of Monica, Americans will soon make Clinton the sex symbol of the nation.
Another question is, what memory will LGBT Obama fan leave about ...
