gary mckinnon who is accused of hacking into the pentagon will remain in the u.k. as the home secretary blocks his extradition to the u.s. . washington reportedly speeds up work to create an elite libyan commando unit to fight islamic extremists after the killing of the u.s. ambassador in benghazi last month. the rain in t.v. and radio stations have taken off in europe on top of fresh sanctions against iran over its suspected nuclear weapons program live analysis on that latest development here on r.t. a little later.

international news and comment live from central moscow this is r.t. with the twenty four hours a day britain gary mckinnon who is accused of hacking into the pentagon will not be extradited to the u.s. the british home secretary decided that sending mckinnon who suffers from asperger's syndrome to america carried the risk that he would try to take his own life. is in london. waterboarding of the mind that's what gary mckinnon's mother has called the eleven year wait to know what's going to happen to the experience of waiting all that time from when he was arrested back in two thousand and two for hacking into u.s. military computers all that time the u.s. has wanted him to go on trial where he could face a potential tension sixty year sentence now it's a massive side of relief for mccann and he now knows that he's not facing extradition to resume a said that it would be because of it would be

a breach of his human rights to send him because gary mckinnon as many now know he is mentally ill and he would be at a massive risk of suicide if he were to go to the states now. there's been a strong line of pressure from the united states to send him over so this is very much a difficult decision for the home secretary that she had to make today however she has now made it now means that government mckinnon stays in the u.k. and prosecutors here are going to decide whether or not he should face trial in the u.k. why did repercussions from the decision on gary mckinnon today that's interesting to a lot of observers a lot of people in the u.k. have spoken for a long time now about how unbalanced an undergrad the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty is. nine times many britons go over to the u.s. in the past ten years than u.s. citizens come over to the u.k. to be tried so what the home secretary has suggested is that there is now going to

be a forum for anybody who is wanted by the united states and that means in plain terms that anybody wanted by the u.s. is going to have a hearing in the u.k. where judges will decide whether or not it's bad to send a suspect over to the states. the pentagon and state department to accelerate in efforts to help libya create a commo force to islamic extremists according to internal government documents the bombers administration. dollars initially intended for pakistan to speed up the formation of a five hundred strong elite regiment they want to boost his ability to combat al qaeda and other militant groups the report suggests measures to fight terrorism in libya will include drone strikes. co-author of the book pakistan terrorism ground zero told me that he thinks this shows that the us is in the region to stay. there is no functioning state i don't believe the need to drench a country and its situation i would also add that the us led european airlines

removed a dictator like manuel because of free reduced number of small dictators small intolerance and warlords who are pushing libya into a group actually in iraq in chaos during the war on terror if i do strongly they were largely going to do it in afghanistan in pakistan and iran but as the americans brutally honest on these jihad these forces or also falling america in the middle east as well so that is one reason for america today i would find trauma . to be big and there's a new reason this is begun clear in the recent years that american strategic priorities are changing at the moment after spending more than a decade in the price of american strategic fools is shifting to other areas including the middle east and asia pacific and i'm sure that americans are used to for a longer period of time we need at least in the asia pacific region the appeal hearing

for a prominent bahraini human rights activists is adjourned till next month will be russia was jailed for three years in august for organizing and participating in illegal rallies rajab sentence brought hundreds of program form demonstrators on to the streets to demand his release but unrest in bahrain 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 the. the campaign is the protesters are demanding more rights equal access to jobs and education opportunities the rights advocate so you do you see. attended rajab hearing. the judge just if you do need to give the time you do with the state and maybe with this book keeping just the five existing money that he was if you can be one of these judges just a few if you want to do this you do if you want to see if you don't use these you

just want to go out if you want to keep most of all. this feeling to feel both want to be it seems that you give up and just did you want to do you want to go on that you want to keep this. up was that you bought it just to be interested in it that he wanted it was not that it must be i just want to point that it now i'm talking to media it's because i don't want that do you visit that could give you the body to go jogging if you wanted to because if you do you get what's going to get people out of these people exactly because we want to protect the of that of who she gave what it would not want people to see is the people you get when you think they would not step. the u.s. has admitted the weapons shipped to the syrian rebels from abroad or bolstering the strength of islamic extremists while washington says is only providing lethal aid to the opposition some american officials concede radical elements appointed to

take over syria if sad fulls. 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 end up in the hands of the islamist extremist group. 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. 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 broadcast their accomplishments or sailors 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 of death in the future 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 the something diplomats who are 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 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 to what's going to happen in the future the fear that if president bashar 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. the u.s. has backed turkey's move to inspect syria jets with ankara saying it will intercept all such flights turkey's already grounded two planes and search its cargo for possible military equipment manual he's editor in chief of a german news magazine says flexing its muscles because it's already involved in a proxy war with damascus. why should. more tanks the syrian border why should turkey big business why should they discuss how to

announce an attack against the syrian parkers us at the syrian side of the border of course it looks like a war preparation and you don't. planning or syrian or which is going on in syria or not that's. true he is already very much involved in this war by sending mercenaries by giving shelter or training camps and material to syria turkey is already involved in this more and what we see here is part of the propaganda war we witness since a long time. iran's media silenced in europe the leading satellite provider takes nineteen stations off air even though the latest round of sanctions against iran only targeted transfers and trade we are square this leaves freedom of speech live reaction on this story shortly. plus foreign millionaires

if. you live here in moscow nineteen iranian state run t.v. and radio stations have been taken off air in the e.u. the decision by leading european satellite provider comes as european officials impose new sanctions against iran the measures targeting iran's banking sector and energy trade are aimed at making it could be its nuclear program well let's discuss this with political analyst chris bambery the fresh sanctions don't target the

media so why this ban on iran's brawl courses and why now. well i think if you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to think that by banning. media nineteen t.v. and radio stations from access to europe it does look like you further step towards military intervention against iran given it happens on the scene day that the pause is for the sanctions and around and against the background of a continuing military buildup by america with his british and french allies in the persian gulf and the siren calls from tel aviv for american action against against around therefore it seems to be a father ramping up of this and this is a decision taken not just by a private satellite company to draw access it was taken as we're told by the european council of foreign ministers very highest level or perhaps by the european commission elected bodies by the way there's nor we have overturning this is

decision the european parliament is going to pose to do it to do that and for it seems to be a very significant attack on freedom of speech what they're trying to do is snuff both i will turn to a view of iran being offered to people in europe as opposed to viewer for spare which is of some kind of terrorist state which is out of control and the danger and of course we're also going to be denied the fact that iran is offering concessions in compromise on the whole nuclear issue not quite as it's painted by the way. let's go to ask you then why is that being ignored chris they're they're offering concessions they're actually saying we will be flexible now in these nuclear talks you talk about the military build up we talk about these sanctions continuing why is those why are those gestures being ignored them. because i think the americans have gotten change in around minds i don't think they will take any military action this presidential election but i do think we underestimate the hatred the americans have for the islamic republic of iran as

a consequence of the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution the overthrow of the shah one of the key our in the middle east the seizure of the embassy the cia's headquarters in tehran and the hostage crisis was that a humiliation for the americans and for which the americans have never got revenge so i think you can't underestimate the terminations of the americans to get to get revenge on iran and there is this buildup constant buildup going ahead in the persian gulf it's an accident waiting to be happening we're going to be out and yet so we actually are what the impetus all of that regime change come from within the country and yet we've seen anti american and pro-nuclear rallies in iran lately experts say even the traditionally pro western middle class is turning against washington so in some respects this is where we could see it all backfiring. i think it's because the west of course as usual dork into their own history and look at what iranian see the west they remember the one nine hundred fifty three that there was a coup orchestrated by the british to overthrow

a democratically elected government in iran mosaddegh which had the temerity to nationalize the anglo-american oil companies in that country they remember the shah of iran was installed by the british and americans they remember the torture under oppression under the shah which is backed up by the british and americans they remember the showers encouraged to have a nuclear program by the british the americans it was all under the shah but not know and actually what has become a symbol for the century for really a nationalism which is really is do not like being told you cannot do something by a century where are the former colonial powers and therefore it has become a touchstone for national prayed even among those who are not enthusiastic for the . regime. political analyst chris bambery joining me live there in london thanks very much for your time thank you well on our web site of the moment r.t. dot com billionaire black carts in the battle for the white house vote for your out the koch brothers warn their employees there will be layoffs if they support
