syria says president assad can step down only as a result of dialogue between the government and the opposition also looks at how the media has been turned this story around. by and from talking about torture and silence to its military tribunals the complaints of attorneys have gone ton of the detainees who say the defense of prisoners is being jeopardized. doctor among so protests over a fading economy report on how spain's recession affects more than just its feed as many of the country's horses are condemned to death by their own. this is coming to life for moscow hello and welcome to the program syria's deputy
5:01 am
prime minister says foreign military intervention would be an infringement on the right of the syrian people to decide their own future the comments came after a meeting with russia's foreign minister in moscow to look at a political solution to the ongoing crisis but as all he's lucid catherine of now reports western media came out with a rather different picture of what was actually discussed. i want to play to you is something that the syrian deputy foreign minister had said during the talks that was grossly missed interpreted and exaggerated in fact in some of the news headlines there are. recommending resignation as a condition before conducting any dialogue means that you can't attend to the matter at hand the dialogue can discuss any problem i do we are ready to talk about anything even vicious question can be discussed but a resignation before any mechanisms in place for the syrian people to express their opinion is
5:02 am
a democratic approach. but as you can hear right there which i was talking about is the need to remove any kinds of precondition such as for example other requirement to present bashar al assad stepping down before some sort of a peaceful solution could be negotiated that is not what was reflected in the news coverage of the talks on tuesday between the the syrian delegation and the russian government of course we do it to keep in mind that the press conference that had taken place was in arabic as they were translated to russian and then into english but what this really serves to highlight is the lack of accurate information and balance information coming out about the eighteen month long conflict i also want to bring into the discussion the example of aleppo was the battle continues to rage in serious second city several news outlets have reported for example what the free syrian army spokespeople have said that they have taken the trolls of nearly two thirds of the level of the syrian government of president bashar al assad have claimed disputed those claims and what all of this really serves to highlight is
5:03 am
again the lack of balance information coming out about this conflict there really needs to be a middle ground in this escalating conflict what we're seeing instead is a sort of black and white paper trail the trading of barbs sort of the lack of ability for the different sides to come together to really move this forward and a diplomatic way another thing that's really not helping. the potential of a peaceful negotiated solution to the crisis is some of the language that we've seen coming out of the united states as of late on monday because president barack obama had really caused quite an international stir when he said that the movement or use of chemical or biological weapons by the government of president bashar al assad could trigger would cause the u.s. to reconsider its opposition to military intervention this of course goes to the against what sergey lavrov has been continuously calling for which is unilateral action by any outside power that this is a conflict that needs to be really resolved from within unilateral action by any
5:04 am
country outside of this conflict will only make matters worse the russian foreign minister had said that it looks like there may be a willingness to discuss a potential solution to the conflict in a diplomatic matter of many factions both within and outside of syria did not wish to see a peaceful resolution succeed so it really remains to be seen whether there could be a way out of this conflict that doesn't further make this ongoing war even worse because to. meanwhile on camera is investigating the possibility of syrian involvement in monday's come bombing in turkey's southeast it walks an industrial city close to the syrian border claiming the lives of nine people including children to officials were quick to put the blame on kurdish militants who deny any links to the toc on proclaims that kurdish separatists capitalizing on the quay also involved syria and have accused affronts regime of stirring up the coffins by only because on syrian
5:05 am
soil to discuss the escalating regional tensions we're now joined live by jeremy sold associate professor of politics of the universe to interrogate mr so thank you so much indeed for joining us right now so turkey is investigating possible syrian links to the bombing but it sounds rather vague it's a finger pointing towards damascus what do. you think about the grounds for these accusations. at the moment is that there is no evidence who did this. the media and government officials have been blaming the p.k. k. the people. no evidence has been produced and this was an. action that might come but so far it hasn't appeared neither is there any evidence that the syrian government is behind this attack once again if it was we need to see the evidence so we don't know who did this but it's very possible. people who want to. escalate the tension between turkey and syria would like to see
5:06 am
turkey take. more. or. prevent this type of. very much this kind of bombing. controlled car bombing actually has the hallmarks of jihad and there many of the means are some sort of movement crossing over into syria to fight against the government could it. be has said that the lost son is a clear message about tech its foreign policy you want safe haven flying. for the sunni i think. the turkish government didn't seem to realize the implications of what it was doing. to confront the syrian government anyone who really knows the region would realise that the people who were confronting them. they were also the walker from the picture. the situation in syria who are doing exacerbate the torture. of all this is working.
5:07 am
because the turkish government is going into the situation without realising a year ago the implications of what was actually doing all right could be the response from you now do you think it will draw conclusions and reckon see. should we now expect ankara to take a tougher stance on both sides here on the. i think we can see that the situation at the moment is reached some kind of impasse that everything gets me down over the past years where the friends of syria which of course included. turkey that includes arming the rebels financing them uniforms them even televisions and so forth is not work at the moment the syrian government. seems to be the situation with your. claim that river controlled sixty percent of the city the city to look for. in the rebels themselves and i would making that. we can say
5:08 am
very few people support because of the gangs that are. being located so the who the friends of syria the christian base is what we gave up looking for more money for more weapons looking for more to help ease the disorder but after eighteen months as long as russia and china prevent the u.n. security council being used to fight if you support they going to do it because it seems the war of attrition. does not result in bringing down the government and there's no sign that it will actually succeed in bringing down the government so the situation is what we do do we treat the economics of the new order. more deeply. think that's the point we reached and barack obama's statement about chemical weapons was a red herring. to just. mention if necessary i think at the moment they're not sort of it about what they should do next when the sound that primarily. sees its
5:09 am
own agenda but with the latest developments can we expect to become a significant player in this syrian conflict already. we can see whether in iraq. in syria. ultimately they will play the one guy who we all know we have no friends but the mountains and they only have themselves. very much amongst themselves but in syria what's happened i think is that the kurds seized the opportunity to kind of shrink the controlled and close to turkey the damascus looking cars and to do that much money if you don't think with government ruskell is going to have been doing it because it's too distracted by. trying to control the. groups across the country in the city don't want to work in a kurdish front as well so i think primarily this is the result of the kurds taking the initiative and taking the opportunity to take control of these areas and of
5:10 am
course that's. where now it's seen as. the border now it's being seen. for a greater. which would include iraq and syria and then that would trigger the train to give to include parts of recent had told you in the region so there's not a lot of talk about this in the talks may get done with watches in lebanon iraq cuts across a number of borders i think across a number of borders being called top and the rest not how could this conflict. once . again a year ago. you can't do here what you did in libya and syria. but if you intervene in syria. and i think that is very much the possibility that if the syrian government can be brought repercussions and spread want to costa rica
5:11 am
grandma keep a lid on the orders critical of a lot. of homes the sunni governments helping with the attacks by sunni muslim. muslims so the consequence of what is now going on and this is a bit more sponsored those we should. have predicted. they could go anywhere they could end up in the last or remove war with global consequences so it's time for people to give. to his little bit and see the situations leading to the region. and sold us a professor. many thanks indeed thanks very much. coming your way later this hour they are some drought rumbles on the diplomatic spot with a weaker leg said isak continues with i quit all saying it could take to the uighurs international court all the details are coming out. attorneys for

military commissions act and if you go to the geneva conventions i've said repeatedly that america doesn't torture and i'm going to make sure that we don't torture nearly four years after america's change took office one hundred sixty eight detainees are still being held at guantanamo awaiting their day in court before a military commission but even then the obama administration will not allow them to testify about the alleged torture and harsh interrogation techniques some claim to have suffered according to the government there is no scope. to the advocates did soko. were church in the course of treatment the government's justification for that is. that disclosing that information to court could be damaging to u.s. national security interests at a pretrial hearing at guantanamo bay the defense attorneys will challenge u.s.
5:14 am
secrecy grooves and a litany of other restrictions that experts say undermine the right of detainees to receive a fair trial and defense counsel may want to communicate or send a letter you know provide the current updates on news information to inform them of certain things that that may apply to their case and every one of those pieces of correspondence is then run through a vetting system where the government is reviewing all of that to determine whether or not it's proper material the confidences are being contaminated directly by the u.s. government over the years the u.s. military has gone as far as dosing detainees with high levels of psychotropic drugs according to reports released by the pentagon get most prisoners were forced to take mind altering drugs often against their will before being interrogated a story first broken by truth outs lead investigative reporter jason leopold what
5:15 am
the inspector general said was is that detainees were interrogated while they were on drugs that is known to produce or will end up producing unreliable information so then you have the government going into the d.c. circuit ok and arguing that all of the detainees statements are true critics accuse obama of following in the footsteps of his predecessor george w. bush by continuing a system that revolves around censoring defendants in the name of national security this is not a legitimate process how do you prosecute someone cheney years after the crime when you had full control of their body. and the evidence for that an entire period of time nearly eleven years following the september eleventh attacks the us military commission is set to hear the first set of arguments in preparation for the trial

if we don't find the means to survive and that is exactly what thousands of horse owners have done since spain plunged into recession this year the horse meat industry registered in increased input of thirty percent less poor sweet is not so popular with spanish consumers so it is usually exported abroad to countries like belgium france and russia about eighty percent is for human consumption and twenty percent is processed into any more food this shelter hasn't seen any state subsidies in for months but private donations ensure it's survival expired groceries from local markets may not be much of a delicious treat for these horses but it's better than becoming food for someone else as austerity measures continue to strangle spain many of these once loved animals will most likely pay for human economic mistakes. ski r.t. reporting from madrid in spain. just
