national news and comment twenty four hours a day this is r.t. . but ukrainian journalists kidnapped by syrian rebels faces execution on thursday and this fifty million dollar ransom is paid cochon of them had been working in syria during the conflict helping international media including r.t. the european federation of journalists strongly condemned targeting reporters for making outrageous demands a middle east correspondent is following developments. the journalist and her coach never was taken hostage in october and holmes the free syrian army has held her for nearly two months they've accused her of being both a russian and a syrian spy she has appeared in two you tube videos that were released earlier by the free syrian army and in one of those she appealed to the embassies ukraine and russia as well as to the syrian government to meet the demands of the kidnappers

it's very difficult to say whether in fact these demands will in fact be met she read a text in those videos in arabic in which admitted to having participated in the fighting and having worked as a military interpreter with syria and russian officers but in two years down the authenticity of these videos believing that they were made while she was under do risk now the ukrainian foreign ministry has also released a statement released last month saying that officials were negotiating for her beliefs but they did not offer further details. but the syrian rebels are reportedly threatening to make a russian ukrainian citizens in syria the target and pray saying they shouldn't be allowed to leave the country alive meanwhile moscow is warning that the opposition may win the conflict but i don't unexpected price. he has the details the russian foreign ministry would not exclude the possibility of the syrian opposition forces being victorious in the military conflict in this country that is according to the

deputy foreign minister minister but he stressed once again at what price a completely unacceptable price according to the russian foreign ministry this victory may come he said that for now it has been claimed that sixty percent of syrian territory is being controlled by the pro or position forces wells forty percent of the territory remaining under the governmental control and if the opposition will be willing to push further this may lead to more casualties with forty thousand people about forty thousand people already killed the death toll could rise to hundreds of thousands of people and this is something russia finds us completely unacceptable and believing the. this price is way too high this statement comes shortly after a conference in morocco finished with around one hundred countries pledging their support to the syrian opposition at the same time the violence is still taking place in the country with several terrorist attacks rocking damascus and the neighboring outskirts of damascus in the last forty eight hours while washington is

accusing the mascot's of using weapons ban for use in populated areas and its fight against rebels jacob hornberger from the future of freedom foundation says the u.s. is deliberately demonizing the syrian government and we've heard this stuff before about you know saddam hussein's debbi indies and he was going to unleash them on the us and mushroom clouds over american cities and it was entirely bogus it was that it was a way to get the american people to support the invasion and occupation of the country and that's what all of this interventionism is all about to install their dictators into power look like how the us empire is not complaining about the dictatorship in bahrain i mean there you've got a military u.s. military base so they got to stay quiet about that tyranny and you see what went on in egypt you see in saudi arabia i mean the u.s. has long supported dictatorship saddam hussein was one of the ones they supported and so this is about regime change in the hopes of installing a true pro u.s.

regime but as we've learned things don't come out is there as they often plan him to be. well as the u.s. and its allies give full endorsement to the syrian opposition there are fears it may not have control over anti assad competence on the ground floor and we have analysis on who is actually fighting against the government there the tactics they're using. the. death of former russian spy alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in london six years ago is again in the spotlight and testimony at a preliminary hearing into the instance suggests a living and there was a paid british intelligence agent that the russian state was involved in his murder

laura smith is in london for the developments for us. well what is going on at the moment today and tomorrow as well is what we call a sort of operational herring to establish the what the details of the inquest what the scope of the eventual inquest into because death will be this is not just about the sort of salacious details of spying on the world either there is there are wider implications to this and of course it has been the major stumbling block in the u.k. russian relations for the last six years since it happened and it comes up every time there's any kind of problem in the relationship between russia and the u.k. and of course the main program at the moment is syria and how much involvement the international community could have in syria we hearing that the inquest lawyer has said that the u.k. government has material evidence that the russian state is guilty but interestingly under the law the english courts can't pass judgment on the lawfulness of the

behavior of another state so that's an interesting point which i'm sure will come up again when the inquest is held but of course we've seen no details of this evidence which is interesting lead u.k. government has kept its evidence very close to its chest meanwhile there is convincing evidence on the other side of course. the u.k. police's main suspect. because poisoning he recently passed a lie detector test administered by british experts in which he was specifically asked whether he has had any involvement in libya because that he said no lie detector test was passed by him also because only father told r t that he didn't suspect the kremlin or andrey lugovoy of having any involvement in his son's murder . this inquest we're expecting it to take place next year and it's an inquest in which there will be huge media attention from all over the world which discuss this now with alexander cracow our producer russian our media company that's made two

films on that. thank you for joining us here in the studio as you say you've had a lot to do with. terms of the documentaries have you come across anything that would suggest russian state involvement well quite on the contrary we interviewed professor harper among many people it would take far more time than we can allow ourselves for this in the context of the news but one of the most striking revelations was as professor william harper in america from princeton university of the nuclear forensics advisor over a bomb administration if i'm not wrong definitely of the american government and he is sad but any of anybody suggesting that the russian government had anything to do with this murder is preposterous from the point of view of physics from the point of view of the evidence available so obviously we couldn't hide anything which would sort of lead us to talk to the russian government so if the russian government had nothing to do with it then who was to blame. well there are many

theories there are many are sort of facts as well and as far as i know russia has some proof some very serious evidence which will be uncovered and of this month i can't tell more but i've just spoken to my colleagues on t.v. who strongly believe that comes twenty third of december the world will know far more interesting the year range from one of his main suspects under a look of war to take a lie detector test just remind us what happened there what was it what were the results of that well it was done by independent british police draft experts and the results of the test were very conclusive for so far as the experts are concerned you know the test subject under lugovoy nor to all three questions did he have anything to do with the murder was he involved in any way in the murder and did he ever handle the polonium it's all the questions were sort of generic in love and all inclusive and he said more to all those questions and the expert said that he was truthful make people might say it's not difficult for an expired to be able

to cheat a lie detector tests were those results credible. actually spies themselves use the lie detector test to analyze the colleagues and beliefs and why b g l e b deals well i believe is using us in britain the pilot scheme was launched just recently a tool to tackle the sex offenders so if you could pull saul easier to fool the lie detector test why the british government itself sort of promotes the scheme but the british government doesn't accept does it lie detector tests in british courts so will this be taking into account now well i think it's not that the british government doesn't accept that the british courts do not but it couldn't be more as a factor i mean it isn't evidence it is a fact and the fact couldn't be ignored i think it would be obviously the two week

on because i think that britain would have to be for britain is a country where such strong evidence could not be ignored ok it's on the crockery leave it there for now russian i thank you very much for joining us to you r.t. thank you. for un atomic experts back in iran to try and make headway over tension surrounding its controversial nuclear program is the first visit since talks in a deadlock in august and the i.a.e.a. team is hoping to get access to some sites suspected of carrying out nuclear activities but they are lucky to get inside the parchin military facility which tehran insists is a non nuclear site and inspectors have no right to inspect it iran also consistently denies its uranium enrichment has military aims despite lack of evidence proving otherwise israel has repeatedly threatened military action if diplomacy fails for national and now reports into mistrust between iran and the international community has already claimed victims. three decades of pride

followed by three years of. women suing. met her future husband a young physicist she immediately knew he'd come a long way indeed he went on to become one of iran's leading nuclear scientists and to it all ended one sunny morning in january two thousand and ten. there was a reason left to work and then i heard a terrible explosion i rushed to see what happened he was lying like this. i called. my screwed who. i thought he was just scared then i turned to him there was no face just blood in tissues he was the first victim in a gruesome trend associated with his work since two thousand and ten at least three other nuclear scientists have been murdered in iran doesn't work they were working hard so their country didn't need to beg other nations for know how else we have

the right acquires this knowledge and feel independent. women series husband began embarking on his nuclear career it was not a life threatening occupation in the seventy's western countries were eager to help iran develop its own nuclear program supplying into technology with no strings attached that changed when the iranian regime deed was earlier seen as inalienable right became its biggest liability iran. would be emboldened in its pursuit of nuclear weapons billions of dollars have been pumped into the industry before the revolution at the time of the shah why should they give up now just because western powers say so while iran's nuclear program is now a target of western political discourse there is only suspicion and no internationally recognized evidence that a country's moving towards build an atomic weapon iranian officials believe all

this tension is fabricated with the same purpose to demonize them in the eyes of international community if you have knife in your kitchen and some of the recent constitutes contour. or know if it's rude pendulous. you want to use it to from. this is really george king via the perceived fear is that the iranian regime can't be trusted with a nuclear capacity but even those who want a total change of leadership see should be non-negotiable for the country. in the current issue has become like iran after. all what you did here. was. kind of raw go. around. when you. want to live. our lives which is. the blast

that killed them and sirius has been was so strong that the clock in the living room stopped at the time of his death both the west and iran are equally failing to move forward iran has law insisted on its rights to develop a peaceful nuclear program but suspicion in the west has led to more and more severe sanctions the more iran resists the more the pressure builds and both sides show little sign of giving up and while the west says only dangerous intentions people here in iran believe it's all down to pride and prejudice. sorry for nationality from tehran. but coming up president i met putin strongly criticizes washington's decision to ban russian officials into a high profile corruption case and. the state says america's reaction to the magnitsky case puts relations between the two countries at stake. and other international stories after the break.

people was on average sixteen years old a lot of them were a lot younger we're talking about twelve thirteen fourteen year old kids held for an average of a year and curiously in many of these cases we're talking about brothers here who are sitting at home and just captured and detained and taken into this military prison because there are suspected of being enemy competence and in many cases it's important to underline here that these teenagers were not wearing military uniforms they were not participating in combat they were just suspected of being enemy combatants and they were taken and the u.s. says it's a preventative measure we need to do any everything we can to make sure these suspected enemy combatants don't return into the battlefield and because they're not charged with any crime whatsoever there is no mandatory rule that they need to be provided with legal assistance they're saying that these afghan teenagers were allowed for example to participate in open hearings and defend themselves afghan
