four o'clock here while the conflict in syria has long stopped ending up at its borders they dried out fighting has seen a mass exodus of syrians into neighboring states also clashes of pro and anti assad supporters in lebanon have left seven killed and dozens injured here's our middle east correspondent paula slayer the crisis in syria continues to spill over into neighboring countries for the second straight night on tuesday several people were killed in the northern city of tripoli during clashes between the whites and sunni muslims this comes amid growing evidence that amounts of weapons are being smuggled through live anonyma portably also if we turn to the syrian opposition now moscow has condemned this in the strongest terms and urged nations not to supply weapons to the syrian rebels at the same time the turkish government is investigating possible syrian links to. a car bomb explosion on monday that killed nine people

many of them children in the south east of the country but all growing concerns in uncut were that the kurdish workers party known as the k.k.k. is behind this glossed over no one has come forward and came to sponsibility the p.k. case is regarded as a terrorist organization by and by the united states and by the european union and ever since the violence in syria has spiraled there are growing concerns that they are extending their influence and increasing their activities here in jordan to the situation remains fluid there are at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian refugees who have crossed over into jordan male currently being housed in a number of temporary refugee shelters along the jordanian syrian border but jordan is a country with few natural resources it has its own problems of scarcity of water in its own fragile economy and it is struggling to deal with this influx of refugees becomes overcrowded we've also heard reports of the outbreak of tuberculosis and

other health risks the international community is struggling to deal with the situation the american president barack obama has warned that if syria moves or uses its chemical arsenal the united states will reconsider its decision not to launch any kind of military action in syria at the same time moscow has said that they cannot see any kind of unilateral action that there needs to be an international response that is agreed to by all sides. to amman jordan. international politics professor jeremy salt from bell canada university's turkey has ignored many of the implications when deciding how to act in this conflict. you seem to need was the indications of what it was doing. when. he realized it on some people. who complained. they were not. also the walk from

the picture of. the situation in syria to exacerbate the kurdish issue also. an oppositional salaries and bonuses are. when all this began a year ago. in syria. and syria is made a lot of that if you. don't think that it's very much the possibility that if syrian government can be brought. out of course the region very much obliged. critical of a lot. of the sunni governments helping with the attacks on a sunni muslim. muslims so the consequences of what is now going on and this is more support to those he sure. is involved. are predictable they could go anywhere. later the head of the syrian friendship association in belgium tells r.t.

that it's no coincidence that syria's violence spilling out to neighboring states. i do believe is that the violence what we are seeing you know this has nothing to do with the forum this has to do with destroying the people who also have a lot of testimonies from people in syria that a lot of the rebels members of the syrian free army are foreigners so the violence we're seeing no it's not a syrian products into daraa that it's near to the jordanian border it's not a coincidence that the trouble started at the border because this underlines once again the influence from abroad a lot of outside forces and governments are interested to destroy syria they know that to pick out the room first they have to take over syria and i'm quite convinced if they would succeed to destroy syria the next door to bits will be hezbollah in lebanon and one of these these two allies or taken outs. they will

concentrate one hundred percent on the. more from chris johnson of the syrian friendship association in just twenty five minutes here on our team. greece is asking for more breathing space to implement financial reforms and spending cuts which have sparked years of widespread protests the prime minister has to convince the eurozone top brass later this week that he's done enough to receive the next bailout and style that it's worth thirty one and a half billion euros without which greece will default and potentially exit the euro zone let's now talk to economists younus of farkas from athens university joining us live thank you so much for being with us today now senior german apart politicians rather excuse me senior german politicians have already said berlin won't tolerate handing out more money if enough is now being down right now what

are the chances of then getting two more years. i very much fear that the chance are pretty good and i fear because these two x. three years are not two years in which to have it up which are immutable to the greek subtle economy back on track. just more time in which the greeks actually go on and we will continue accelerating an accelerating russian. politicians have to decide to think firstly what do they want to do with believes that they want greece in the eurozone or not and secondly how do the define the word enough that eventually when they say that they want that the government the thing that they're going to be enough for the small farms these are the fundamental questions. very much fear that germany has not put up its mind around them yet. finland's foreign minister said this week that nobody is forcing greece out of the euro zone and it's up to the greeks to decide their own future and if the country needs so much more time to get reforms together isn't the decision out of greece's hands this isn't

out of greece and greece. you know a vicious. spiral the economy. loading and collapsing they pass there's no going to. them you'll see. that in the private sector of greece that insolvent the banks that insolvent. so it's completely up to the eurozone to decide whether it wants to give that greece an opportunity to stay afloat in the eurozone or whether they would want to push the greek economy and society it was where they would simply put all their arms up in the air and enter and leave the euro now. if greece doesn't get the latest cash this thirty one and a half billion euro it will default on its massive debt how wide will that shockwave be felt if that happened still said thank you. not that wise and not that

significant because let's face it releases already defaulted last march to the private sector and massive seventy five percent was imposed upon the bondholders in present value terms now that depp's that in mainz which is unsustainable when you use that debt to the official sector of the european union to the europeans and they're buying into the i.m.f. now that there is going to be written down significantly one way or the other it's just that you know the laws of nature you cannot violate them the question is how is it going to be done will it be done in an r.q. mind it would be falling out of the euro going to the drachma and then that effectively that you know what is going to be part of a sustainable plan for rationally dealing with the crisis not just greece but also me that we in spain and euro zone is completely clueless on this matter now if the backlash won't be as wide or as far reaching as you predicted on the then what about the central life what about the people in athens i mean our friends is being

forced to pile more and more austerity on its people what is life really like for people there you know the every day struggles that people have to face right now this is a great depression in economic terms that resemble in that that's called the united states in the 1930's but also in psychological terms most people know that on the verge of money. and then at age one moment depressed the next the fact of the matter is that this is not every session these other situation where you that is exactly what i'm. going on but this is intuition where everybody is going down a black hole in the end of your politician how well meaning and how productive and profitable they are when you have such a situation you are talking about a complete catastrophe all right thank you for joining us today economist yanis varoufakis from athens one of our city. thank you. lawyers defending

guantanamo detainees say that they are being silenced inside military tribunals banned from any mention of alleged torture in the prison attorneys say the restrictions mean they cannot properly defend their clients they are set to challenge the rulings with pretrial hearings for five men charged over a nine eleven set to start on thursday they were delayed by a day because the train crash in the u.s. disrupted the internet connection to guantanamo during president obama's campaign he pledged to shut down the natori is present but never has. explains. as the saying goes everyone remembers their first walk talk most will be closed no later than one year from now and us president barack obama's first executive order delivered on a promise cemented over the years as president i will close guantanamo reject the military commissions act and it here 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 that defended six count of his torture in the course of treatment the government's justification for that is that disclosing that information. court could be damaging to u.s. national security interests at a pretrial hearing at guantanamo bay the defense attorneys will challenge u.s. 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 and 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 revealing 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 good 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 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 have full control of their body and the evidence for then 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 of five suspects the u.s. president meanwhile is campaigning for his second term apparently forgetting about

sovereign decision if that doesn't happen we'll find a way out with perhaps the only thing will be left with is going to the international court of justice in the hague so that we can grant freedom to a son in washington and the u.s. is not our father or teacher to punish us if we have the same rights as they do julian a son is an example a symbol of freedom of speech but there are some countries which try to influence things and limit his freedom and even oppress him so that he stops doing what he's doing we want to make them understand that we're protecting freedom of speech as well as a right to life and personal integrity if. he would. spend the last two months hiding out at oakwood or as london embassy of voiding extradition to sweden on sex crime charges britain insists it won't let him leave the country and threatened at one stage to rape they have yet to see us he is out there so that later us president called diplomatic suicide rafael qur'an also says he's ready to discuss
