in first tonight evidence of brutality by syria's rebel fighters has been branded shocking by human rights organizations and the u.n. says the killings of syrian soldiers if confirmed constituted another war crime online footage appears to show the summary execution of twenty eight syrian troops in the north and this video can't be independently verified yet but it is the seemingly of rebels beating and kicking the soldiers some of whom moved before shooting him dead meantime china's call for a phased ceasefire to gradually power transition in syria and the united states planning to get greater influence for front by militants let's go live to jordan talk to university professor and journalist ok. so thank you worrying development to see if it's true that the rebel fighters blame the execution of the syrian soldiers if it's happened on a salafi group but he says it is influential in the area do you think the rebels will now try to distance themselves from these killings. this is. not the first
12:02 pm
time something like this has happened every day these so-called rebels supported by nato and the g.c.c. countries are performing killings of this style and this case the video you saw are going to show they are being shot by guns but then other cases they kill them with with knives slitting their throats and performing unspeakable acts on some of the prisoners so this form of abrupt brutality is and fuck parts of the month l a t all these rebels having come from medieval darkness they have to act this way because this reflects their mentality and the way they think of humanity as a whole they are. human the state to put it and one notch up to this to this is another war crime as i just said there are bloodied hands on both sides in
12:03 pm
syria with that in mind why is the u.s. and its ally still keeping quiet about the crimes committed by the rebels. i wouldn't crush to say that there are bloody hands on both sides the government was very lenient with these armed rebels for about a year it was only in the last two three months that the government decided that the crackdown on them militarily before that they were performing these acts undeterred and the government was not until three months ago i'm bracing a military solution to the conflict and it dissolve yes the answer to your question as to why the west as a whole is ignoring the crimes of these rebels well for one thing they they helped prop up these are bills and bring them into syria to destabilize the country so they are their own people and they are acting under orders from. nato and juiciest
12:04 pm
see countries to these. these state of syria so obviously they're not going to will be pointing fingers at their own selves they brought these guys into syria what do you expect they will the same time the us has been warning over the extremist threat in syria having seen this video tonight if it is verified should washington rethink its policies. can you please repeat the question because i couldn't tiriel that is all talk of a lad who said the u.s. has warned of an extremist threat in syria before having seen this video tonight should washington rethink its policy. well that's a very good question but if you are referring to the statement by secretary clinton regarding extremists and the so-called syrian rebellion i think this is a big cover up for the fact that it was the united states explosives and its allies who brought these extremists to syria and this is also meant to.
12:05 pm
ease the anger by the american voters after the killing of u.s. ambassador stevens and libya on nine one one this year that hello to clinton is basically saying that this administration is not responsive for bringing in these extremists and the syria and this is oriented for the the u.s. vote of specifically moreover i think the statement by hillary clinton on u.s. six on on syrian extremists hijacking the that a billion is also signaling the fact that the u.s. is no longer providing a cover for the syrian rebels this tells me as a matter of political analysis that the u.s. is about to strike a deal with russia china and iran over syria i mean that's what it looks like judging from these statements we're following it. mostly thank you for your input
12:06 pm
dr of revolution list and university professor on the line there from. britain's deputy prime minister's warning rebel lawmakers they could leave britain isolated within the e.u. conservative m.p.'s who are in the governing coalition sided with the opposition in defying prime minister david cameron by voting for cuts to the money britain hands over to brussels every year laura smith explains a bit more. with the cloud hanging over the houses of parliament could this be the beginning of the end of britain's membership of the european union pro europe deputy prime minister nick clegg certainly seems to fear so he's said that wednesday's rebellion by conservative m.p.'s when they voted in favor of cutting the budget the e.u. could leave britain either isolated inside the union also out of it altogether that would be music to the is of many who support leaving the e.u.
12:07 pm
the money brisson contributes has become a huge bonus contention while brussels encourages e.u. member countries to tighten their belts it doesn't appear to be tightening its own and in fact if the e.u. commission gets its wage britain will be forced to pay an extra one point three billion pounds next year in budget contributions on top of the eleven billion we already pay and we'd soon be handing over a staggering twenty two thousand pounds a minute to brussels david cameron has promised till negotiate a deal that means u.k. contributions would rise only in line with inflation but that's proven not good enough this week with rebels in his own party to managing a real terms cards in cash going to the e.u. there's a summit in brussels to discuss the budget towards the end of the month and this could all push cameron into taking a tougher stance which could end in annual budget negotiations with the union and
12:08 pm
eventually what nick clegg fears but many support a slide out of the e.u. altogether. the last time the british public voted on being part of europe was back in one hundred seventy five when i joined up to what was then the european economic community and people model says it's high time people got another chance to choose . currency block certainly relies. on britain actually i was of the states which is in the currency we pay to the tune of around fifty million pounds a day just to be members of our club doesn't take into account the mega amounts of money the street tens of billions it costs us to comply with the e.u. directives and regulations of its bed and some of the british people it's something we know happy about it's something which we want a referendum on if you look at recent opinion polls eighty percent of people want a referendum around sixty percent of people actually want to leave the european union altogether so the people are certainly moving away the political class starts
12:09 pm
anew good. the problem that you've got is that austerity doesn't exist in the european union and might exist in the member countries where we're asking to cut back on almost everything we have realised that if he's out the money doesn't. matter they spend more and more every single year the budget goes all the member states including states such as greece and portugal and ireland who would in serious trouble will be asked to put their hands in their pockets and give most apostles it's wrong seventeen years it is now since the accounts of concerns of look if they are being union as a company then the directors on the chief executive would all be in jail but it's not it's corrupt and that's another reason why the british people want that referendum and want to leave. paul nuttall no mention of military money is the u.s. presidential candidate says you can come painting in the aftermath of the storm coming up we look at the legacy of america's foreign wars too and how it affects its finances as well as its people. frisco's food journalists who know

12:11 pm
get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. will . two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power of power. plants if america changes tracks us election close god monday november fifth on r.t.e. . download

12:17 pm
