scotland's nationalist government has two years to convince the nation it's better off outside the u.k. it's haftar of a landmark referendum deal hammered out what london. president asked for an enemies are arming and mom experiments in syria who are poised to seize power if the regime falls according to u.s. officials. have a rainy court gets ready to hear the appeal of jailed human rights activist neville wran job of continuing clashes between probably form demonstrators at the country's security force and.

nine am in the russian capital you're watching r.t. with me wearing the joshie centuries of britain unified on there are the union jack may come to an end in two thousand and fourteen with a referendum on scottish independence and agreement giving the green light to the vote in two years' time has been sealed in edinburgh by two of the top man in u.k. politics first looks at what's at stake. firing the starting shows with that pens and what's being dubbed the edinburgh dream it is signed it's being described as the most important political decision to face the united kingdom for three hundred years the prime minister the david cameron the first minister alex salmond meeting to sign a historic deal on an independence referendum the battle for scotland begins after years of political wrangling the face fighting will now come then they sides will want to put their arguments forward and some people who've already getting their

clues out in his press conference alex salmond had to field a question of skiing why he wants to tear up the british flag why was that the joy of the language at the b.b.c. at the. ropes. the business of. developing a new relationship between the peoples of so i think. that's what we're trying to build points of focus for both sides will be the economy and she's of defense whether scott then would be stronger going it alone really is better where it is and the referendum to be held to the end of twenty fourteen will focus on a single question whether scotland becomes independent or not dropping the much meted third option that would have seen more powers going to scotland last remaining inside the union it is now an all or nothing game with the polls have

been consistent over the past decade if not longer the support for independence remains at about a third of the population it doesn't really get much higher than that because those in the pro union campaign seem outwardly confident as the pro independence group are quick to point out the outcome of this fight is far from the given. that we were going to be very. hard. indeed the s.n.p. now hold sixty nine hundred twenty nine seats in parliament but the stakes are high and many feel the first minister has bet his career for the worst scotland to vote for independence it would be set to lose

a third of its land mass most of its oil and stay with everything still to play for these were the first concrete steps on the way to possible scottish independence. r.t. edinburgh while london claims edinburgh one cope on its own those against nations in the panels are bluffing scottish m.p.'s linda fabiani. the new parties to conservatives the liberal time to liberal democrats they are no longer seeing scotland couldn't make it but they are seeing is a would be a viable independent nation that was one sometime ago you would be believe that scotland the united kingdom and then we we believe that a lot of the money at least and but arguments times just like clearly people. everyone has to lay out their start of us who believe in independence those who

believe that scotland can be a better country if it's independent decisions we show. it to the scottish people i'm a sucker for the last people should know about is the obviously you key it's up to them to prove their case for stealing the union and by the feel scotland and scots would be big check. links with united kingdom that mean there rather than an engineer country who's a good neighbor. a scot on eyes edging away from the you carry london as distancing itself from the european union but we reveal how that's causing friction inside the walls of westminster. most of the weapons being smuggled to the syrian rebels from abroad are bolstering the strength of islamic extremists and that's according to u.s. officials who say radical elements are poised to take over syria if false ideas are in english has the details the us has admitted that the aid which they have been sending towards the syrian rebels actually does not end up in the hands of the

groups which they were hoping it would end up and quite on the contrary the united states officials are now saying that in fact the money that they keep sending over which then goes towards the purchasing of arms which end up in the hands of the islamist extremist groups the arms are being purchased by qatar and saudi arabia which have a tendency. to prefer the radical movements such as the sellers who then end up with these top notch extremely expensive weapons which they then use against the troops of president bashar al sadr even. the secular opposition groups within syria itself are saying that they simply cannot afford to buy the same type of arms which are being used by the radicals neither do they can they afford the cameras which are being used by these radical groups such as the free syrian army who are then using it to broadcast their accomplishments or failures on you tube and the like

of course the united states administration at this point is concerned that the arms are ending up in the hands of the extremist groups because they fear that may mean in the future that these groups will turn into insurgencies which then will retaliate against the united states of course there are also other diplomats within the middle eastern circuits who are saying that at this point a lot of people are being frustrated with the syrian opposition who have proven that they unfortunately cannot unite over one plan according to this unnamed diplomats who has been cited by various media sources they have come to the conclusion that the syrian opposition is essentially a large conglomeration of smaller groups who spend their time bickering and cannot come to any one agreement and it's this very fact that there is no agreement or there is no clear cut plan which is also worrying to the united states now u.s. officials are saying that it's because there is no plan as to what's going to happen in the future the fear that if president bush are all that is ousted that

will mean that in the turmoil which follows there will be a civil war in which the radical islamist groups will be much better armed and will be a lot better financed than the secular groups and that will just mean they play out all of the libyan scenario all over again. a court in the rain is there hear an appeal from prominent human rights activist neville wran job he is currently serving as a three year sentence for organizing and participating in an illegal gatherings or job sentence in august brought hundreds of probably foreign demonstrators on to the streets to demand his release but unrest in the frame has been ongoing for more than twenty months with fights between police and demonstrators erupting almost daily around eighty people have been killed since the clashes began and thousands arrested in crackdowns by the sunni rulers on a mostly shia campaigners the protesters are demanding more rights equal access to jobs and education opportunities for the bahraini m.p. side heidi on the sami says authorities are afraid to lose their grip on power. i

do believe that the our city of. not enough might choose to understand their people they are gambling on security solution or are the politics they are using powered by the their brain and logic the people in bahrain they have nothing in there to challenge the authority but they are thirty they don't want to reach to the dialogue stage because if they teach the dialogue stage they will change all their agenda they will. they are going to give the people more power to her if you want to time against our interests we are paying at all to some people are killed some people are in jail for a reason that we can't understand it like libya right hundreds of people they are

jailed for just they express their opinion two or three days back they are said the children for the friday last friday. before this in manama so this is and less a list of those to take an action. to understand for the world to go to the edge and. still to come this hour here in our back to court five going time with a detainee facility the responsible for the nine eleven attacks faced the military tribunals yet again raising fears of virtually transparent trials carefully designed to hide the truth. plus french wine makers are caught over a barrel as they claim the country's national treasure is slipping through their fingers that i'm planning more stories just to have.

a texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who are playing in front of her house for just a little while a concerned neighbor and sort of say walking across the street you know to talk to the unintended children to find out what's going on went to the total sheep mode and immediately called nine one one because children playing it is truly an emergency worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die. there are dangers out there believe me but

living in constant fear abuses your children far worse that's just my opinion. i'm in sochi the latest city in europe on the host of the twenty fourteen winter the british. sun sea. thank you. tsotsi. thank you. some way a. dog days are. the pride days a. sitcom. the. sun sees it's so true.

back you're watching r t with me marina to. the u.s. wants to cover up its use of torture of military detainees and that's according to the lawyers of the five man allegedly responsible for nine eleven the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks and his accomplices when back before a military court at the guantanamo bay u.s. naval base on monday the case has raised international concern over washington so-called interrogation techniques with the detainees claiming they've been subjected to torture including waterboarding while in cia custody the week's free trial now has to determine whether to allow the five men to say in court what happened during their years in custody alive transmissions from the courtroom are

also covered by forty second sound delay lawyer and retired air force colonel morris davis though things this policy is less about protecting the nation and more about saving face. it was really a very bizarre process has been used before really what the defense is asking to do here is to deviate from what has been the process in the past and to allow the public through the media to understand what took place but it's a very bizarre environment the spectators are seated behind a glass window where they can see the movement in the animation in the in the lips moving in the courtroom but the sound lags forty seconds or more behind that at times is blanked out entirely so the motions in the words never quite match which i guess at guantanamo that is appropriate i think by and large is the embarrassment over what we did in trying to keep that quiet i mean i was on a panel last week here in d.c.

with one of the senior members of the prosecution team who said all these trials are going to be in transparency but as you've seen today i mean if transparency is a forty second sound allay and reporters tweeting from guantanamo then these are extraordinarily transparent but the public can attend and like i said you know the government can pick and choose what it wants to blank out and i think that's the purpose of the military commissions is to try to avoid embarrassment over things that we did in some cases a decade ago. i mean attempt to gain more sovereignty from brussels london's planning to drop out of one hundred thirty e.u. deals on law and order but the decision is causing quite a fall out of how was the ruling coalition of conservatives and let downs torn apart over the issue now political blogger george things the frictions within the governments could get even worse. the idea is to repaginate a set of powers to give person greater self and she gave him the best justice and to please the euro skeptic conservatives backbenchers because the two ministers

always looking to push the blame on to the rather than ones that there was there are a few very ground and goads threat to leave the e.u. is actually supported by the leader of the distance believe you k. should threaten to leave the leave a cobbled together in the hope that will. persuade brussels to cross concessions they could lead to become pressuring the lib dems have always taken a very different position on on the edge of the south is that the most pro european policy on the six while the conservatives now more than ever are you know you are just guessing you can simply give a. geek a doesn't have to decide which powers that one solves back in syria so it's right for tina has the potential to cause a lot of tension with the coalition partners between now and the general election. french wine makers are sounding the alarm as they claim the country's finest grapes are falling into foreign hands millionaires from abroad have already bought dozens

of vineyards and don't plan on stopping their paris's shrugging his shoulders saying the deals are completely legal by nationalist war and what makes a brands will no longer be made by the french to summary of the national reports. wind the french culture pride and prestige but some say the country's national identity is now threatened by foreigners hunting for the news all across the country this shuttle we've just had to have to retain french burgundy region home to one of world's famous wines made the headlines often it was purchased by china's entrepreneur owners pushed by financial troubles were forced to sell it and the merchant made an offer twi. the market price and that has worried some in the hysteria that followed the front national france's far right party slender deal as emblematic of the danger threatening french heritage with much bigger chateaus

some businessman from abroad paying twice or even three times market values the a force in high costs on to locals and many are worried these investors don't care about the industry they're buying into. but that these people they come here and they buy land just like they buy up a castle or jewelry are the really good investors the taxes go up because of them but will they keep the wind quality up we think there should be a state protectionism policy here. but some experts are skeptical of state support saying the french authorities are not only unhelpful but actually trouble making. back on the end there are many regulations that impede development to bring your a brick or. it thinks every day enterprise chief has to approve with his lawyers and accountants of and then sent to different ministers at least two papers on social environmental or fiscal security can you imagine how much effort that it takes

while it could be directed to really worthwhile things it's not wise and with the eurozone economies in such trouble risks a high these not twice could become too late the industry seems could well and truly be over a borrow more if notion r.t. reporting from france. plus rates the world of business with natasha and it turns out foreign companies are still quite upbeat on russia tell us more well absolutely and it's not those looking for the hydrocarbons but actually those interested in the viewing consumer market that attract companies to russia and five years the start of the crisis this trend is actually stronger than ever to say the physical has all the details. the middle class in russia has tripled over the last five years to more than ten million households not so many but each pulse of a hand has substantially more buying power than the average in china brazil india
