smuggled in from libya and they're planning chemical weapon and terror attack to blame it on damascus we've seen indeed the rebels been recently aggressive and active recently and of course these accusations may sound groundless but we've all seen just recently how the rebels may have framed people just last week a from a british journalist alex thompson from channel four has said that while working here in syria he and his. were set up by the rebels to be killed by the syrian army he said they were deliberately led into a death trap and he thinks that he opposition wanted them to be killed by the governmental forces to blame it on damascus meanwhile the u.n. monitors who work here on the ground trying to do their best to kate what's going on. right now they're trying to establish exactly what happened during last week's massacre in the central province some province of how much how many people were

killed and who's to blame but this is extremely hard to do and the details of very hard to very far. because there is a lot of confusion and the main reason is that the many many sides been involved in this conflict here in syria not just governmental forces or. of rebels rebel fighters but that the results of the police third part. it may include. the jihad is whose goal is to topple the regime here in syria and any over these toys involved in this conflict may be responsible for the killing and that also could be a provocation so it makes. the work call for u.n. . mission here on the ground extremely complicated we've also recently been hearing another alarm indicate the syrian national council. to keep the east opposition. group has elected

a new leader and he courage courage is the largest ethnic minority here in syria and they haven't been anyhow involved in this crisis here in the country we haven't heard any problem from the area in north east of the country where the leaves so this nomination fears a growing that the rebels are trying to involve as much people as possible and even involve these ethnic groups and that may lead to even more violence escalations here in syria. now the syrian national council has been at odds with some opposition groups inside the country and the new as and c. had its pledging a approach mom but asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the man and the council are two disconnected from the front line. sida goes after birth barholm go yan is a very shady character he has very good kurdish connections of course so many connections

as well but he is also trying to play to the christian and so they all oh i say look if there is. the government or rejean or we're not going to touch it nobody believes him insights here in fact did jim brail of the opposition umbrella it's a disgruntled matter in fact you know they don't get along with each other in the air he feels read it on the ground by people who are actually doing a lot of these killings in fact and these people they are mercenaries imported from libya by the only via qatar though where i am at the moment and this is a blue subject to be discussed here in qatar i can find anybody here who would discuss a train clee what the qatari intelligence services are actually doing on the ground in syria but this is part of the qatari foreign policy they are financing and weaponize and do really hardcore arm of the syrian opposition and i'm not sure mr

sieda the new ahead of the syrians or council not what's really going on the ground . u.s. senator john mccain confirms that armed rebels in syria are directly are being directly supplied with weapons by some regional countries including saudi arabia are two reports for you online the senator insists the u.s. should follow their lead to spite concerns over extremist forces among the groups. in class the montréal mayhem police tear gas and pepper spray student protesters but they refuse to given over to wish. the video analysis and reaction are at r t dot com. president francois along socialist party and its left its allies standard take control of parliament following a triumphant first round they and their allies secured more than forty six percent giving a powerful boost to all and but in the lurch to the left means germany is losing

its right hand man and pushing for cuts across europe has the latest from paris the results of the first round sort of these a very good move for the socialist party in trying to get a majority of the lower house of parliament however and nothing is a certain definitely there's no time for complacency they can't just sit around and expect the same results in the second round there are still the un people already the conservatives still trying to rally whatever support they can get most of dissipated a policy the fossil along is the one that he's been a speaking about quite a lot during his campaign which is one group of friends of the stereotype that's on the one hand and how this translates for the french people is that more jobs and taxing the rich it's this tax and spend policy with. a seven as much as seventy five percent tax for the rich certainly not something that conservatives want to see if he wants to get this policy like that through he will need the support of

the lower house just remember the socialists already have the support of the senate so it will be much easier to get things through you also promise about sixty thousand jobs. in the next five years as well as retirement age bringing it down to sixty. against from sixty two this is against the. driven pattern the rest of europe is taking so france will be taking a very different approach as the approach if you will also of course you want to draw french troops a year earlier than planned from afghanistan and he needs the support of both houses to get this through so france or large gunning for a majority in the parliament and let's not forget that it's necessary that he provides concrete results for the french people the patience is very low what this point and the nicolas sarkozy became deeply unpopular for coming in with promises and not fulfilling any of those promises it's what got him out of the uneasy free if we remember. new grant from the foundation for strategic research says the

potential victory of the french socialist reflects the call for change around europe. prints pretty. interesting because they're not always go with the cycle in europe where we do see certainly the rise of those nationalists. all over the board in europe and this is clearly the case the problems were in europe and this is a phenomenon that is happening across the board. when it comes to the rise of socialism so what. was clear in the recent elections in europe is that the. policies in power. through the direction that have happened in greece in. spain need to be so this is a situation where incumbents are in trouble. coming out later in the program equal work but unequal pay for a don't match the bank balance in the u.s.

the minister of sport here to ukraine to attend the dutch games but other members who always attend dutch games when they played you know. it was decided against coming here i also understand that the dutch supporters ahead of their game against denmark in the city of try to get marched the streets of this ukrainian city wearing t. shirts saying free so you can see for yourself that this story is being closely connected to politics closely connected to the pressure from the european union on ukraine to release you will see certainly in the coming weeks how this situation will unfold for now it's been a very peaceful here and everyone certainly enjoys the great game of football which we see every night from both poland and ukraine. and as for that football itself we've got all the drama on the pitch with the union in our two sport later this hour for you police in moscow are searching the home of opposition leader alexei in the widening the apartments of other prominent opposition figures are also under investigation they will be questioned further on tuesday now the searches come

a technology that bred like. nearly everything for. everything everything that's happened on the internet just. being unknown a few months or a few few years before so you can predict what will be the next innovation my point here is that it's. policy has to adapt to society and not the other way around we have the impression with the copyright wars that. the legislature tries to make the whole society change to adapt to a framework that is defined by hollywood say ok what you're doing when you're with your new cultural practice is just morally wrong so if you don't want to stop it then we'll design legal tools to make you stop doing what you think is good this is not the way to make good policy so i'm convinced that when you enabled the most

powerful industrial actors to decide what policy should be you don't go that way. from our check in with kerry after business asking we've been following this ramage grow out situation for investors it's a temporary sigh of relief we're hearing is that it is actually a nice of they're actually climbing out the moment the global markets we are seeing gains and that's after spain requested the one hundred and twenty six billion dollars now that's to rescue that ailing banking sector which was left with billions of years of bad loans fall in the collapse of the property boom and the subsequent recession now recently there's been worries because of the borrowing costs reaching euro records a lost now in the fischel statement by the spanish economy minister he said the loan will cover estimated capital requirements with an additional safety margin of

that because the move means that spain now has a fire wall should the greek election on june the seventeenth. a fresh round of market also has a bit of stability in force with the news today let's have a look at the european markets in asia and see as i say both the first down the does are indeed gaining want to mention the ibex is while the spanish balls are of four percent in the session at this hour so there is sort of relief as you say very much so we saw that really being paid down the asian markets around in a session they too were one of the first markets to receive the news from the we can and with the bailout also there were some domestic factors that came as well china's exports as well were far better than anticipated actually so that was boosting their mentor now i've jumped fifteen percent in may from a year earlier and that was indeed beating expectations as i say now industrial

output and retail sales came the low estimate this say that this will make chinese authorities continue with the measure. to stimulate growth now thursday the country's central bank cut its interest rates for the first time in more than three years and that was on the worries of a slowdown some more stimulus is expected from the chinese economy but those exports have managed. the pressure slightly as we can see that's wall street that's how they finished on friday and investors were very much optimistic that there would be moves made of the weak hands that we interesting to see if that optimism. when the u.s. markets open in about three hours' time i think now all right let's move on to the russian markets now it is the whole as a here master today so all the markets are closed today and tomorrow what you're seeing on the screen is the closing figures for thirty days now they did indeed come alive. and that's because of oil which quieted has a knock on effect here in moscow so after taking

a battering in recent weeks they finished on a high and not in cars as we see how the ruble it was a mixed performance there they managed to get against the u.s. dollar and lose out to the common currency the screen right there one twenty six fifteen so that jumped up with all this momentum now i must say though concerns now remain with play that now at the forefront of investors' minds because they're boring because of escalating and now the spanish situation has resolved some logs it is now in the vault my out of moving on to the ore prices i did mention they are indeed gaining all the sentiments i've been talking about the exports out of china increasing as well as demand from china. and also the european situation action has been taking all of that experience of the prices and helping them to get now a talk about someone who's paid a lot of money for
