1:01 am
what you already live from moscow with me to bomb would say good to have you with us in syria radical islamists have reportedly captured a key military base in the country's north the claimed advance has stoked fears the country's chemical weapons stockpiles could potentially fall into militant hands let's get the latest now from marty's middle east correspondent policia who joins us live the syrian chemical weapons is becoming the favorite topic for mainstream media spin doctors but does not correspond with the facts. well on monday the european union pledged to provide greater support to the syrian rebels this came after meeting between both sides in which the u.s. so the e.u.
1:02 am
said it was increasingly concerned around the transfer and potential use of chemical weapons within syria again pledging that would hold anyone responsible accountable now this comes as the damascus regime increasingly accuses both the e.u. and the united states of conducting a smear campaign against it as in terms of falsely accusing damascus of using chemical weapons the syrian foreign ministry has written a number of letters to the united nations in which it says that it is afraid that countries backing both terrorists and terrorism my consults provide those countries with chemical weapons and then shift the blame and point fingers towards syria there is of course growing concern that chemical weapons stockpiles within syria could land up in the hands of extreme militants in here we've been hearing reports of both al qaida as well as has been on the south operating in lending their support to the insurgency and so there's concern that these weapons could land up
1:03 am
specifically in their hands the united states for its side says it has intelligence that the syrian army may be preparing to use chemical weaponry and again the u.s. has pushed the line that this would be a red line if indeed it was proven and that this would bring in the shift reaction and the immediate involvement of the united states we are hearing from a u.s. official as well as senior administration officials that the u.s. and the european union are training rebels both within jordan and turkey in terms of trying to secure these stockpiles of chemical weapons within syria now it is important to make note that none of these reports in terms of chemical weapon we can be verified what we do know is that so there has one of the world's largest chemical weapon arsenals so it has never join. and the chemical weapons convention and as such it is never given any kind of information in terms of the extent and declaration of its chemical weapons and this is why at this stage it is unknown
1:04 am
exactly what is the extent of the chemical weapons and indeed in whose hands there are not one of those conflict has become a war of words jew the syrian government and the opposition are going to great lengths to butcher a job as villains who's winning the information. well it certainly has become an information war particularly on you tube they have been a number of videos that have been surfacing a lick me preface what i'm going to say with the fact that we have no way of verifying the authenticity of these videos we have no way of verifying exactly who produced them where they were produced dates and figures the both sides both the damascus regime as well as the rebels accuse the other of committing harrowing atrocities and war crimes there is a video that is circulating on you tube that shows that assad troops are using chemical weapons and when you look at this video you see disturbing pictures of both adults but also children with disfigured faces as well as limbs and incredible
1:05 am
lose to their bodies there is of course also videos of rebels reportedly using chemical weapons on bunny's as almost a threat against the assad regime that this is just what they planning on doing the rebels have also been posting videos of innocent victims of aerial bombings as well as shellings while at the same time pro assad activists have been posting on you tube videos of rebels making a child they hade a number of prisoners now according to the information that's reportedly did happen in homes what we do so you know the video is a number of the hated victims we see the child actually beheading this person but again no way of indicating or verifying exactly the truth of this although some sources say that they were people with saudi accidents being heard inside this video there is of course also video showing rebels carrying out max executions there is a video online showing syrian rebels executing
1:06 am
a person of short range you see him with his arms tied behind his back in haiti chains and then facing his execution he is shot at point blank range and then another video showing rebels massacring eleven prisoners all of those disturbing footage again no way of verifying its authenticity but it certainly does show that tensions on the ground are increasing and increasing and. artie's middle east correspondent policia live from jerusalem thank you for that. right of us us also say washington is training rebels to secure and handle chemical weapons in case the syrian regime collapses some of them as i'm now convinced that a foreign interventions in the making of this period right now and the talk of weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons in syria is very reminiscent of the run up to the anglo-american attack on iraq in two thousand and three one of
1:07 am
those videos purported to show syrian insurgents funded by the west preparing chemical weapons which were used on rabbits but could be used on syrian civilians and then blamed on the syrian government the assad government is not suicidal it has been playing its cards very carefully there is no basis in fact for the use of chemical weapons by the syrian government it would be counterproductive the weapons of mass destruction are argument used so effectively in two thousand and three and later found out to be a complete hoax they've just they've tried it out of the dustbin and their plan to rerun it again. their opinions are three presidents have received this year's nobel peace prize on behalf of member states the e.u. has been given the award in recognition for fostering peace even before the prize was handed out to the decision was barred to master indignations rather you know
1:08 am
several previous winners wrote an open letter to the nobel foundation demanding that the blog be stripped of the award i had of sunday's ceremony hundreds of monsour through the norwegian capital in protest john lott land up from the institute of democracy incorporation believes peace is one of the last things the e.u. should be rewarded for. but there has not been peace in europe for the last sixty years as the president of the european council said everybody knows that there was a war against yugoslavia invented ninety nine in which european states e.u. member states participated very fully they attempt to. reduce europe so one cannot say that there is the increase of europe since then in any case if we look further afield with syria the european union's policy the actual policy of the european union as an organization of a mind its member states has been in my view to found the flames of the conflict in syria and not to act as a peace broker so there is literally no way in which we can say that the european
1:09 am
union has fostered peace. while ordinary people enjoy a life in the austerity recchi e.u. it seems some corporate giants will stop at nothing to get out of paying their share tax evasion and avoid because the dead stricken block one point three trillion dollars a year a figure that's no longer being tolerated surface reports. well people from all of people tend not to protect this country because companies like starbucks and apple and google at the moment it's really part of a much larger picture welcome to the world of tax avoidance illegal but morally suspect way the companies and the wealthy have been dodging paying their fair share most people are due to discuss these companies do not the very taxation which is a criminal offense but are void taxation basically use existing facilities and legal loopholes in the different regulation and taxation between different
1:10 am
countries to their advantage companies like amazon the head office is based in luxemburg which they claim is the center of the economic operations which is handy as luxembourg so well known in tax haven where companies can enjoy a low tax rate but hang on a minute we're here one of amundsen's much of this to be sentences based in the u.k. in fact the reality is that many of our customers lends to their employees and many will distribution centers like this while i respect base here in the united kingdom so it's not hard to see that the relatively small luxembourg office is nothing fact as they say at the heart of their operations and yet the u.k. tax system doesn't seem to recognise it as ordinary british taxpayers who are losing out that's entirely on the face of it to run because you can register
1:11 am
your transaction in different country and the place of great distraction is the place of taxation where as you can have fewer activities actually taking place here is legal. surely then in the midst of a flat lining economy t.k. government would be eager to plug the holes it's letting billions of much needed tax pounds really count. but in the chancellor's autumn statement last week and it was the panelists on welfare he were in the government's firing line why has this government decided to clamp down on bennett before clamping down on multi-million pound tax avoiders. well i think that the government is clamping down on that there's been a lot of money allocated by him but there are now that people know that i think morsi or doing that they're doing it now that people know that they've been
1:12 am
avoiding paying that amount of tax i mean it's no good doing it after not paying and there's a difference between people. who. voiding tax to. those who are illegally doing it there is a to do when you a citizen or not they're still avoiding paying when interest is handed page and let me actually answer the question once before you actually. legally. starbucks and amazon and google have been doing is ok's that you say i said there's a difference between tax avoiders and tax evasion tax evasion is illegal tax avoidance people are using the law to their benefit now if the law is wrong we need to change the law but for now the law continues to allow an exodus of profits made in britain meaning companies like amazon can keep getting away with paying less
1:13 am
