2:02 am
a white house source said the obama administration is edging closer to declaring assad's ruling syria illegitimate and that it would be just the first step and 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 the united states is helping to lead an international effort to defer 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. true various steps taken to remove the government but the south proclaimed position of the us as the world's

policeman and judge of which government is legitimate or not doesn't sit well with everyone there's an. arrogance. you're going to get a meter not. you know where the americans are saying that it was some of the u.s. long time allies like the yemeni president seem to be intimidated by those that's the white house to act as the arbiter of who holds power in the world. are you president of the united states and president of the world when condemn a government atrocities in different countries in the middle east and north africa the u.s. claims the higher moral ground clearing human rights is the basis for its involvement but the critics say this is a smokescreen for the real reason for interference you know sourcing and where do you need. it or power and work an hour or hour to hour. and sort of bring in italy. or so are you. perhaps.
2:04 am
you cross the country and your time with. america's self-proclaimed humanitarian involvement has led to kc sides in the libyan civil war the us has pledged extensive support for the rebels newly released weiqi 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 and nobody gives away money for nothing or arms and the u.s. sees the opportunity of putting in a friendly early american. government response of 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 syria's in the heart of the arab world and if it explodes or

implodes it will affect all its neighboring countries iraq saudi arabia jordan israel lebanon. and they're all likely to get involved in a collapsing or awards or in serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another recent say some to go after our side relying on iran as your best friend and your only strategic ally is not a viable way forward critics say the us takes on the wall of world policeman nothing is on its inherent out prism but rather out of self interest and the bigger question is whether those increases have made the world safer or have stabilized that more i'm going to check our reporting from washington. the policy of the u.s. and its allies is more about a struggle for world dominance than protecting civilians that's a view of the continent down from the british civilians for peace in libya
2:06 am
a group. the west would like the syrian regime like the libyan regime like with hizbollah and the palestinian resistance to disappear yesterday now it's cheating that is a whole different kettle of fish i think where the west is at now in this historical moment everyone knows that the uni polar world has finished entering into an o.t. poll i world and the west is panicking about how they can sit back and allow the great commissions of the global south just to rise up or for them to just go without go without a fight so now is really the historic opportunity for western hegemony to try to pull back a little bit off the world domination that they've lost in the last decade. the libyan rebels have failed to gain official writing mission from the us government a top rebel official was even denied an audience with brock obama in washington on friday mahmoud jibril is the first senior member of libya's national transitional

council to this in the u.s. after meeting american officials said the rebels were having trouble getting washington to release colonel gadhafi frozen assets the administration earlier promised to hand over some of a multi-billion dollar funds to french president nicolas sarkozy in paris on saturday was no breaks when they are either in the lead in capital tripoli funerals were held for a group of muslim clerics allegedly killed by 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 to protect civilians and now it seems that with the escalation of the air attacks they are hitting as it seems more and more civilian targets we've heard from a un agency expressing concern to the security council that civilians are suffering in a number of ways shortages of food and so on as
2:08 am
a result of the airstrikes this 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 law it's trampling upon the very legal structure that our states have built up over the decades it is a regime change war that's absolutely apparent that of course again it's illegal under international law but they will do that. and frankly it does look as though now the main tend to talk. earlier this week the british prime minister welcome to another libyan rebel leader in london david cameron invited our guild to live through stablish a permanent office in the ukraine capital pledged material support for the rebels r.t. contributor as a to a better things london's making a mistake by overzealously supporting the libyan opposition. that it comes saying
2:09 am
with the rebels leader more stuff. seems very much an attempt by the british prime minister to legitimize the interim national transitional council. i see two problems here the first one is that those leaders who are us supported by the west are all the leftovers of the gaddafi regime and yes of course they have joined the rebels forces but it's unclear whether they have the support and trust of the libyan population. the second problem here is that each but rebel groups around the country has its own ideas on who should be the future leader of libya. it seems almost unavoidable that the libyan rebels if they win the fight against gadhafi it will start a civil war against each other and people if the elections. will most.
2:10 am
accept the decision if you're not elected and if he doesn't accept it if you're going to interfere in the civil war as well and if so on which side. pursuing its own interests without looking into the possible outcomes will once again land the u.k. into trouble overseas. still to come this hour here in our team russia honor is those who fought in world war two victory is a celebration commemorating the sorry a triumph over another germany are marred by violent nationalist veterans in ukraine. the influx of refugees fleeing the uprisings in the arab world is driving a wedge between the states some are calling to reinstate temporary or even permanent internal border controls. and as artie's daniel bushell reports europe may have opened the floodgates for trouble the dream of european integration

goes off the rails in a pizza feud between two of the e.u.'s founders france and looked all train services from italy after finding carriages full of african migrants italy have handed out visitors visas allowing travel in the european union that's shots of the trust which the visa free regime is. a kind of truce between two partners between france and italy france considering that easily implemented. for thousands fleeing the violence in north africa italy is the nearest e.u. border security experts who've studied the country's patrols there on the strength but fellow member states all due they shouldn't have to pay for italy's mistakes we love the fact that the italians are just on the sea with people coming from outside

and are not able to fix the problem we are not criminals terrorists madmen we don't want them here. protested to the french embassy for quotes voile ation of european principles france counts as it's already takes five times more immigrants than italy employees here of 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 admitted the system's roit for abuse one and the same applicant for asylum can have like seventy seventy five percent chance of being granted as i live in one country of the european union and less than one percent with the same reasons in another country states taking the law into their own hands on wednesday democracy introduced border controls for people coming from of the e.u. states buildable home of the e.u.

headquarters is now calling for the same. immigrants to. back to each other this is not possible isn't possible for the people in question but it's not possible to. ask for a more broader. growing numbers in the union's biggest country wants border checks to germany could be poles possible restrictions in terms of freedom of travel and this is really something that many people are concerned of richer nations in the. also invasion from. restrictions on working and benefits for citizens from central and east european states which joined the union in two thousand and four were lifted on the first of may want a b.p. was they'll flood to the u.k. it tracks people from the countries that have just joined it attracts people from outside the european union because they know once they get into
2:14 am
a european union country they can cross borders they can work if they want to or take advantage of the generous benefits system in most european or some european countries like britain for example and it 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 were all smiles the fear now is they've opened the pandora's box that they no longer control don't you see brussels. while the unrest in north africa and the middle east is causing friction between the e.u. members earlier this week european countries voted in favor of requesting their own permanent representative at the u.n. security council as part of an overhaul plan of the e.u. is common defense and foreign policy but the move has caused support among 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 c m a p charles tags thanks britain will fight to defend its un
2:15 am
is the answer so. there's no way that the british government or the british conservative delegation and i speak for the conservatives in the european parliament we would support any move which weakened our ability to project our foreign policy interests and clearly being found in 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 un security council resolution nineteen seventy three over libya so no we would not give up our seat in favor of a new use seat because at the end of the day the common the 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 in the un 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 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 in the great war they kicked off with a traditional parade in red square with twenty thousand troops marching along. military might the spectacle was a can of veterans of the country's top ranking officials a minute of silence was observed in memory of the twenty seven to twenty seven million people who died during the war victory day celebrations also took place in cities across russia and former thought you'd state however events were marred in western ukraine nationalist attack veterans r.t. as i say are fast the reports on how the incidents being seen as part of

a far right europe. for holiday for millions a street brawl for some unlike most of the post soviet region on may the ninth this ukrainian city became a vicious display of neo nazis and. several thousand activists from radical nationalist parties book the engines the red army soldiers cemeteries preventing war veterans from getting inside and playing tribute some in this part of ukraine do not see me as a reason to celebrate leaving the soviet period to be worse than enduring nazi occupation the same georgists ribbon is usually worn as a traditional may the ninth to commemorate those who died in the great crash or to war but on this day in the west and ukrainian capital city of the wall putting this on your lapel would have meant serious risk regardless of whether you're a veteran or not. if you look at the ribbons were forcibly ripped from the chests of those who were heading to the grave yards along with abuse of chances such as

just to the most whites and nazi salutes hurling rocks and smoke bombs that is how involved martha made the ninth. here in this fictional emirate grader's in life to liberate this land from the fascists but these people here do not let me come inside this century to lay flowers and he's great this is a disgrace. such seemed surprised even the locals who had grown used to protests on the three day these were the scenes from last year when the nationalist wipe their feet on the red victory banner. i spent thirteen years in detention in siberia when to prove those were killed we could something like this have happened in a new country that. their heroes are people regarded worldwide as nasa collaborators replica shirts with the founders of the nine which is insurgent army staff on monday and there are a big hit here there are seen as freedom fighters even though for a while they fought alongside the nazi army and killed civilians jews and russians
2:19 am
in the new some manner how the mainstream political parties deal with these sorts of movements today encourage them as we've seen in case of crane when. not a collaborator has been elevated to status of a hero holder it appeared to be an anti russian protest but really it was a protest of the. ukrainian society in this case has to deal with and this is only part of the right of people the perception of the past is making waves in other former soviet states namely ass as marches and glorifying nots allegiance in the baltic states such as last year and the stonier the danger is that people are beginning to forget what we fought for and what the veterans died for as we are seeing the reemergence of far right forces and nationalist forces really ready so resemble exactly those of the merge with hitler in the one hundred thirty such behavior still only applies to the minority most people in this country still
