ukraine tarnished by tacking on war veterans and. it is not the end of the russian capital you're watching r t with me wearing a joshua welcome to the program while this week the u.s. mounted pressure on syria with a state secretary hillary clinton promising to punish the government over the ongoing violence against protesters something hundred people have been killed since the beginning of anti-government demonstrations in the country the european union has already imposed economic sanctions on the raising of the u.s. threatens tougher measures many say washington's appetite for intervention is inevitably leading to a levy and scenario in syria parties guided to town reports. who it is a legitimate international leader and who is not it seems america will decide

a white house source said the obama administration is edging closer to clearing ourselves ruling syria illegitimate and that it would be just the first there. we will continue to work with our international partners in the e.u. and elsewhere on additional steps to hold syria responsible for its gross human rights abuses sounds familiar united states is helping to lead an international effort to deter further violence put in place unprecedented sanctions to hold the gadhafi government accountable when the u.s. says it's going to hold someone responsible expect action once the u.s. has officially declared the syrian government illegitimate. it it would open the door to various steps taken to remove that government but the south proclaimed position of the u.s. as the world's policeman and judge of which government is legitimate or not doesn't

sit well with everyone here in the u.s. now against. american president. and government is you gentlemen are not. letting that it was some of the u.s. long time allies like the yemeni president seem to be intimidated by those zest of the white house to act as the arbiter of who will power in the world. who are presidents of the united states and president of the world when can give a government atrocities in different countries in the middle east and north africa the u.s. playing the higher moral ground declaring human rights is the basis for its involvement but the critics say this is a smokescreen for the real reason for interference in their d.n.a. . or oh and. when they. you crossed

a country and. there's a program america's self-proclaimed humanitarian involvement has led it to take sides in the libyan civil war the us has pledged extensive support for the rebels newly released wiki leaks cables show the u.s. had been funneling money to syria's opposition for several years now but some say the help comes with strings attached nobody gives away money for nothing or arms and the u.s. sees the opportunity of putting in a friendly pro-american. government responsive to american interests the coalition efforts in libya have reached a dead end with the country now in military stalemate in the meantime civilian casualties there continue to grow. analysts say foreign involvement in syria could trigger a much worse conflict seriously in the heart of the arab world and its it explodes

or implodes it will affect all its neighboring countries iraq saudi arabia jordan israel lebanon. they're in they're all likely to get involved in a collapsing world war torn serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another reason say some to go after us aren't relying on iran as your best friend and you're only strategic ally is not a viable way forward critics say the u.s. takes on the role of world policeman not based on its inherent altruism rather out of self-interest and the bigger question is whether those interests have made the world safer or have to stabilize the more i'm going to strike our reporting from washington r.t. james james lowe i want to base a rider on middle east peace and security issues says syria needs an inside revolt to stop the violence from within its ranks. the paines the americans are offering

president assad one last chance to see if the dictator can dictate so i believe that the syrian regime really has to have more of a silent coup from within from what they call in the form of what else to try and prevent essentially greater bloodloss happening in cities that are arrested because it seems that the texan cells operating on the mend said it's that momentum that the regime has found impossible to stalling it's offered a variety of carrots and feeding my spain is the getting would imagine civil but it appears now are simply only have states left in this cupboard so that is a deeply worrying friend as far as i say when people are concerned. believe me unravels have failed to gain official recognition from the u.s. government a top rebel official was even denied an audience with rock obama in washington on friday mahmoud jibril is the first senior member of libya's national transitional council to visit the u.s. well after meeting american officials rebel sound the rebels were having trouble getting washington to release colonel gadhafi has frozen assets that ministrations

earlier promise to hand over some of them multibillion dollar funds to bail out some that french president nicolas sarkozy in paris this saturday was no breakthrough theory either in the lead in capital tripoli funerals were held for a group of muslim clerics allegedly held by a nato airstrike anti-war activist kate hudson says the coalition's intervention is an insult to international law. when the un security council voted to take action against libya it was designed as they said to protect civilians and now it seems that with the escalation of the air attacks they are hitting as it seems more and more targets we've heard from the un agency expressing to the security council that civilians are suffering in a number of ways shortages of food and so on as a result of the airstrikes it's again raises the question of international law it's not legal to intervene within civil wars and i think in voicing. those leaders to

washington for talks shows that obama is disregarding that aspect of international trampling upon the very legal structure our states have built up over decades it is a regime change war that's absolutely apparent but of course again it's illegal under international law but they will do that. and frankly it does look as though now that they may intend to talk. over two half thousand nato led coalition air strikes have failed to turn the war in libya the countries involved in the bombing are counting up the cost and trying to justify it to their own people our teams are bad reports from denmark. for those who joined the fight in libya the cost of conflict is quickly taking off denmark's one of just six nato members conducting air strikes to force the no fly

zone it's six f. sixteen fighter planes racking up a hefty bill of thirteen and a half million dollars a month we were anticipating a number that was considered their work and that we aren't that many nations that is using fighter planes. to take us for example they're using drones they have had tomahawk missiles but i don't have any other plans. denmark dropped one hundred twenty six precision bombs in the first four nights of the campaign or each one costs on average fifty thousand dollars on top of that there's one point six million a month to station the jets in sicily along with one hundred thirty personnel but this rate denmark's annual cost will be one hundred seventeen million dollars four percent of its defense budget the danish air force refuses to comment on the money saying it's too political a topic column and says it can't afford it these people have come to the american embassy to show their opposition to the war it's not just the conflict they're

protesting against though it's also denmark's willingness to follow the u.s. it's a battle they do this because. i don't know some people say they have an inferiority complex and they follow big daddy and yell the united states and france words as war against gadhafi so they go along we're a junior partner the danish parliament was unanimous in packing and bombing campaign in libya the first time ever only literally action since then cracks have appeared with the far left red green alliance withdrawing its support it says nato has gone beyond its mandate by taking sides in a civil war and now the party is denmark could follow suit again with a ground offensive looming i think it's likely because the prime minister wants to be a strongman is precedes there's an upcoming election. and also that this is the policy

of the current government to be as close to the us as possible at the moment the government's against sending ground forces six f. sixteen s are already costing the same as denmark's troop deployment in afghanistan and they've been there for ten years. but as afghanistan kosovo and iraq shows when push comes to shove the country's more than willing to join america whichever because other than its. copenhagen socom this hour here in our team russia are those who fought in world war two victory day celebrations commemorating the side with triumph over nazi germany are marred by violence nationalist attacking veterans in ukraine. the influx of refugees fleeing the uprisings in the arab world is driving a wedge between the e.u. states some are calling to reinstate temporary or even permanent internal border controls within the union as are teasdale bushell reports europe may have opened

the floodgates for travel. the dream of european integration goes off the rails in a bitter feud between two of the e.u.'s founders france blocked all train services from italy after finding carriages full of african migrants italy had handed out visitors visas allowing travel in the european union that shattered the trust of which the e.u. visa free regime relies it has shown a kind of neutral mistrust between two partners between france and italy france considering that italy has not implemented in a good way the rules. for thousands fleeing the violence in north africa italy is the nearest e.u. border security experts who've studied the country's patrols say the under-strength but fellow member states argue they shouldn't have to pay for its lease mistakes we

have spent a bit of the fact that the italians are just on the sea with people coming from outside and not able to fix the problem we are not criminals or terrorists madmen we don't want them here has protested to the french embassy for quotes voile ation of european principles france counters it already takes five times more immigrants than italy in peace here or the european parliament say they need to control immigration but with each member state putting its interests first and blaming each other for the problem migrants are just getting calls from one state to another e.u. security chiefs this week held crisis talks and did muted the system's roy for abuse one and the same applicants for asylum can have like seventy seventy five percent chance of being granted asylum in one country of the european union and less than one percent with the same reasons in another country states and they are taking the law into their own hands on wednesday denmark reintroduced border controls for

people coming from. of the e.u. states bilger home of the e.u. headquarters is now calling for the same kind of thinking that immigrants and illegal immigrants don't even back to each other this is not possible isn't possible for the people in question but it's impossible to do this situation asks for more border. growing numbers in the unions biggest country want the checks to germany today proposed possible restrictions in terms of freedom of travel and this is really something that many people are concerned of rich nations in the e.u. also the invasion from the restrictions on working and benefits for citizens from a central and east european states which joined the union in two thousand and four when lifted on the first of may one n.e.p. was they'll float to the u.k.

attracts people from the countries that have just joined it attracts people from outside the european union because they know once i get into a european union country they can cross borders they can work if they want to or take advantage of a generous benefits system in our secure pay or some european countries like britain for example and actually attracts more migration which is what we're seeing now from north africa at the signing of the shingle agreements on visa free travel e.u. leaders all smiles the fear now is they've opened the pandora's box that they no longer control the new bush or altie brussels. while the unrest in north africa and the middle east is causing friction between the e.u. members earlier this week european m.p.'s voted in favor of requesting their own permanent representative and seat at the u.n. security council as part of an overhaul plan of the common defense security and foreign policy but a move has caused the scorn of some member states the u.k. has already said that it will not give up its permanent seat on the council for the

sake of a single european city charles taylor explains sites to expand its new ones and friends. there's no way that the british government or the british conservatively geisha and i speak for the conservatives in the european power that we would support any move which weakened our ability to project our foreign policy interests and clearly being founding members of the un security council with a veto as a permanent member this is a major plank in being able to project our foreign policy interests and indeed we were so successful recently in collaboration with our french colleagues in securing u.n. security council resolution nineteen seventy three over libya so no we would not give up our seat in favor of the needy you see because at the end of the day the common foreign security policy of the european union is only when we all agree and sometimes we don't all agree as was the case over iraq and has been the case regrettably in some ways over libya when the germans abstained so now it's

essential as a defining characteristic of a nation's foreign policy the ability to speak when they want to in their national interest and clearly the seat on the u.n. is one of the most important things that we can have as a nuclear power as a founding member of the security council that is the united kingdom and i can really can't see any traction for the u.k. government to want to do so. on the ninth of may russia commemorated sixty six years since the defeat of nazi germany and the great patriotic war but they kicked off with a traditional parade in red square with twenty thousand troops marching alongside military might a spectacle was attended by war veterans and the country's top ranking officials a minute of silence was observed in the memory of the twenty seven million people who died during the war victory day celebrations also took place in cities across russia and in former soviet state however events were marred in the western ukraine where violent nationalist attack veterans are his life here shafi reports on how
