coming out of the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina josh centuries of britain unified under 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 at r.t. sarah ferguson looks at what's at stake. buying the stuff he shows with that pens and what's being dubbed the edinburgh agreement 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's will. getting their claws out

in his press conference alex salmond had to field a question asking why he wants to tear up the british flag was 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 if she's of defense whether scott then with the strong get 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 me to third option that would have seen more powers going to scotland last remaining inside the union this 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 further of the population it doesn't really get much higher because those in the pro union camp may seem outwardly confident as the president dependence 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 many feel the first minister has bet his career for the worst scotland to vote for independence it would. the settle is

a third of its land mass and most of its oil and so you with everything still to play for these were the first concrete steps on the way to possible scottish independence sarah r.t. edinburgh while london claims edinburgh one cope on its own those against nations and pans are bluffing says scottish m.p. linda fabiani scotland is quite clearly capable of being a pint which is fairly interest and that the new parties to conservatives the labor plant in the platts they are no longer seeing scotland couldn't make it i think a really interesting is a very very exciting time for scotland and that everyone has to lay out their star on the up to us those who believe in independence those who believe that scotland can be a better country if it's independent makes a sort of decisions we show. the scottish people and it's up to the ones who want

people to vote nor to put their case for staying in the union and by the feel scotland and scots would be better maintaining links with united kingdom. most of the weapons being smuggled to the syrian rebels from abroad are both ring the strength of islamic extremist that's according to u.s. officials who say radical elements are poised to take over syria is false charges are in english who 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 also 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 our 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 were saying 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 a. a large conglomerate of smaller groups who spend their time bickering and cannot come to any one agreement and that'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 of the libyan scenario all over again. i want to go skirt porting there now a court in bahrain is due to hear an appeal from prominent human rights activists in a village up he is currently serving a three year sentence for organizing and participating in illegal gatherings or job

bay detainees allegedly responsible for the nine eleven attacks face 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 treasury slipping through their fingers that plenty more stories just ahead. a texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who were 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 precious in my opinion. download the official publication so choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites from. l.t.v. is no. quiet to watch arts here all you need is your mobile device to watch r.t.

thank you. this. is it. it's so true. welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow well the u.s. wants to cover up its use of torture of military detainees that's according to the lawyers of the five man allegedly responsible for nine eleven the self-proclaimed

mastermind of the attacks and he's accomplices went back before military court at the guantanamo bay u.s. naval base on monday the case has raised international concern over washington's so-called interrogation techniques with the detainees claiming they have been subjected to torture including waterboarding while in cia custody and weeks pretrial now has to determine whether to allow the five men to same court what happened during their years in custody live transmissions from the courtroom are also covered. forty second sound alike lawyer and retired air force colonel morris davis though thanks this policy is less about protecting the nation and more about saving face. 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 is 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 an era 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. now take a look at some other stories from around the world the former bosnian serb leader radovan card is set to begin his defense of the hague tribunal today faces ten
