seaward denies claims that he used chemical weapons as the u.s. and its allies draw up a case for intervention based on unverified intelligence from the also. russian authorities detain one hundred forty people and also special involvement with islamist militia groups in the north caucuses. as iceland prepares to head to the polls and on the entry election also moves back at how the tiny nation stood up for its people during the financial meltdown and refused to rescue the.

us when russia and iran the while this is all see with me here thanks for joining us the syrian government has denied allegations it has any chemical weapons and says even if it did it wouldn't use them on the front u.s. officials claim to have sketchy and unconfirmed intelligence that damascus has used chemical agent on its own people well she's a marine of worth i has the latest. u.s. president barack obama was delivering some fierce words in the aftermath of tables comments he indicated that washington will conduct its own independent investigation into syria's alleged use of chemical weapons and a separate probe will be conducted in conjunction with the united nations america's leaders said the world can't stand by and permit the use of chemical weapons obama has previously stated that the use of chemical weapons by damascus would be a game changer in the u.s. position on military intervention into serious civil war now according to white house press secretary jay carney has confirmed that military force is one of many

options that president obama is currently considering carney said as a general principle the united states retains the ability to act unilaterally now these revelations of course come just one day after u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel claimed that the u.s. intel that u.s. intelligence officials believe with some degree of varying confidence that the syrian government has used chemical weapons against members of the opposition specifically sarin gas u.s. officials claim the attacks in question took place last month in new york and in the outskirts of damascus however a letter that the white house has sent to members of congress states that washington cannot confirm the origin of the chemical weapons allegedly used acting in lockstep with the u.s. british prime minister david cameron has come forward insisting that his government has limited but growing evidence of the use of chemical weapons by the syrian military according to reports m i six agents operating in syria smuggled soil out

of the country to be analyzed for chemical and biological contaminants however u.k. military scientists reportedly said the soil contained treece is of some kind of chemical weapon though it could not positively identify the type of weaponized chemical now in an interview with the b.b.c. cameron said he worries that western leaders might fail to out. in syria because of the experience of foreign intervention into iraq now we all know that britain in fact france have been voicing unconditional support for syrian rebels and reportedly providing the opposition with military and financial aid in the meantime the syrian government is now is blaming the opposition for the march attack near aleppo which killed several people masochists as organised organizations including al qaida have repeatedly threatened to use chemical arms while fighting with the opposition so here you have a scenario where in syria the opposition groups and the government are pointing

fingers at one another and you have the u.s. and its western allies of presenting this harsh rhetoric of the use of chemical weapons by the syrian government but they don't have all the full facts in place. and historian gerald hoolan says the syrian conflict in syria leaves plenty of room for predications by the rebels or even rogue functions in damascus itself. it's deja vu all over again we will remember it the disaster isn't adventurous so us and british invasion of iraq in two thousand and three based on what gay sions really weapons of mass destruction prove to be faulty of therefore we must ask some very difficult and searching questions for example what was the chain of custody with regard to the samples taken from the battlefield of syria to laboratories of london and in washington was there or was there the possibility of contamination or foul play or hanky panky with these samples and how can you show that the regime rather

than the rebels actually used these alleged chemical weapons and since we already know that six cherries divisions within the military is driving the conflict in both syria and iraq how do we know that some renegade soldier in the syrian military was actually collaborating with the rebels want these chemical weapons so i asked to provide a rationale for intervention by london and washington these are difficult questions that must be answered. and on the way when i say taking tara back home as a u.s. official some of the other vampires do europeans fighting in sea ran the u.k.'s pinpointed as the main supply of volunteers whether it's and. a hundred suspected extremists have been detained in the large scale police raid on an islamic house of prayer. details now from. one

hundred forty people have been detained in southern part of russia's capital moscow for suspected ties with extremist islamist organizations and more than thirty of them are reported to be foreigners although we don't know what countries that come from or which nationalities they are that's following a special operation by russia's federal security service the detention has happened at the time with deliveries gathered in. one over residential areas in that part of moscow for their friday prayer as we know the most important prayer for all muslims it hasn't been in a mosque we know that that built in a situated in the residential area of moscow so apparently towards kind of an apartment maybe a private party that's been used for as a chapel where believers have been gathering to a police just saying that most of those who've been regularly attended in this

place have a late to join the ranks of militant groups active in northern caucuses in russia and some of them have been called prayer in carrying out extremist on terror attacks in russia counterterrorist operation in russia is continuing terrorism remains a big and serious threat for our russia as well as for the entire world. as muscle rests in russia comes to less than two weeks after the boston marathon bombings and the in searing manhunt for the suspects for it has or chronicles magazine center traffic of each because both highlighted the global threat of islamic terrorism. western europe north america and russia are in the same boat when it comes to the issue of you slamming terrorism in the aftermath of the theater siege in moscow and then in the aftermath of a slide on there has been a great deal of blaming the victim in the western media and regrettably you know western political circles the sun. terrorism in russia is different from terrorism

in the west because it is the result of intransigence and the refusal to negotiate i think that these arrests even though obviously linked to boston will bring to attention the fact that it is a global phenomenon in which you cannot differentiate between one lot and another and that most certainly you cannot have user friendly to cardiff's because in spite of the great deal of sympathy which unfortunately has been displayed by certain western official circles for the church and terrorism in the late ninety's and early two thousand there in fact we are dealing with a phenomenon which is indeed global people in iceland are about to vote on the second parliamentary elections as the financial collapse of two thousand and eight

left it stricken the country has been slowly but steadily getting back on its feet of so making a call should the banks go bust rather than rescuing them at public expense. reports. iceland has seen it all its banks crashed its government resigned its currency devaluated and its businesses of all sizes have collapsed and that of all can over up to grounding planes all over europe making the island nation the headliner for weeks on end but that was years ago while today thanks to timely precise policies of the help from the international monetary fund it boasts some of the healthiest growth rates in europe one point six percent and it's no small triumph considering that back in two thousand and eight its banks debt was eight times the annual g.d.p. so the people took it into their own hands and negotiated major debt write offs of times it does seem like it's the only country in europe that's got it right take

a look at this or to go on a limb to greece and spain on these notes the pigs continue to spiral deeper into their cheating financial mess their current deficit to g.d.p. ratio is just under three percent they have no money and plenty of debt but the borel more to serve their bond obligations back in two thousand and eight iceland's deficit to g.d.p. ratio was twice that of the pigs yes iceland allowed its banks to collapse under their own debt weight technically bankrupt the island nation managed to get an impressive job of turning its economy around its banking sector return to profitability its businesses restructured their debt and it kept growing and many of their people were able to keep their homes and five years after the most devastating financial meltdown is history it boasts the lowest jobless rate in europe less than five percent now the euro zone's strongest economy germany has

five point four percent so it's something it's iceland that was humiliated the world over they should definitely think again. and coming out for you this hour upping the pressure ukraine's former prime minister yulia timoshenko could soon be charged with murder she's already selling a seven year prison sentence on this could see her behind bars all night all the details on that just ahead after the break. my ski theatre i'm a the second to be a.b.c. money in stevia to two which is both a cultural contemporary i wanted to logically serve the auditoriums so join me to almost say honored c m a the second as we bring you the glitz the glamour and the best of the best in the performing arts trying to get marines to cheat.

the good international airport in the very heart of moscow.

the onus is on the line from moscow welcome back russian officials blacklisted by the u.s. have rejected all the allegations against them calling them politically motivated washington accuse the people on the list of being responsible for the death of sergei magnitsky in police custody more than three years ago and let's not get more the latest rather from aussies medina in that case hello there medina so well tell us how the russian officials on the u.s. blacklist said about the case against them. well the reactions coming from those who are russian officials who are included on this list the so-called u.s. magnitsky list are practically similar now they believe that this move the creation of this list was a very politically motivated decision and they also say that the u.s. was a not objective thing making this decision as it was never aware of all the details that surrounded that case and never had access to the documents of this case as the

documents are still in court and never became public now this list and the law was drafted as the beliefs are based on political motives and this documents has no legal consequences and no legal force and just represents asked they believe additional political pressure on russia now the list was of published on the twelfth april and of the list included eighteen russian officials and according to the washington washington's version of the events sixteen of these officials so were responsible and directory responsible for the death. was an accountant and an audit sound at capital management and he was the main suspect in a major tax evasion case and he died in a pretrial detention facility in the center of moscow back in two thousand and nine

percent taken in response to the us a blockade. right while the before the us magness kill list was the publish to russia warned that the response would be miller and ready in accordance with the rules of parity and indeed in less than twenty four hours russia responded with the same list basically with the number of officials eighteen officials american officials were included on the list basically the russian response to the us i'm against gillis however the russian this really consists of two parts the first part consists of those people who are involved in human rights violations at guantanamo detention facility and who are also accused of legalizing torture now there are four names and for this part of the list there is a second part of the list another fourteen officials who are responsible for human rights violations of those russians abroad however there are reports these lists

both of those this are just a short version of a longer list the both countries possesses and for instance those of the us. version of the list was never published. top governmental russian governmental officials. thank you very much indeed for that. while the e.u. has been beefing up support for the c word and rebels an influx of volunteers heading for the walls. fears of a grown terrorist threats officials say radicalized gangsters could pose a serious security threat when they return from the front lines hundreds of europeans are said to have already taken part in the conflict and college london estimates that the biggest to shout as many as one hundred thirty four zero british the report goes on to say that up to seventy seven volunteers from the u.k. could still be fighting in syria against the regime defense consultant in iraq says

london's been turning a blind giant to war crimes committed on the rebel side of the barricades. it's a natural a national security concern then why have they been allowed to go out into libya into the conflict and return back to the u.k. where the been seeking medical help in terms of follow up assistance for gunshot wounds or conflict area wounds and also physiotherapy so if they're concerned about this sports libya and now all of sudden they're concerned with the syrian aspect of their involvement then it just means that the losing of the syrian conflict is going as well as they wanted it these people have already killed people devil ready most of the people in libya and syria and they come back in knowing full well that there is no legal. entity that's going to charge them with these acts of acts against humanity or crimes against humanity so the british government

has remained silent about this for or since a libya and now all of a sudden the this started to get concerned about these fighters going out at the ready again to experience a lot of them gained experience in libya so they're trained in proper use of weapons and now the they are plying their trade if you like to syria so why are they getting concerned after that after that happens you know these days people are for moving in and out of the u.k. freely and in and out of. europe. remember all of our news is just a click away had to call for the latest stories and videos and let's not take a look at what's waiting for that on line. imo russia's infamous punk band pussy riot is denied early release on the grounds that it has been badly behaved in prison get the details on our website. and the rest of honk

hundred say rescue teams and what can know some pulling survivors and troops is from the rubble almost a whole thousand waters have been rescued so far things didn't come to a fresh wave of criticism and western companies are placing profit before safety in a nation known for churning out low cost products global trends analyst and gerald celente says any standards on just for. its international trend that we see growing more and more as profits are put before people people who are more expendable so that it's just a lot of talk with you year from these companies in the west for example that say they watch the standards that were going on in these sweat factories around the world they just show is really no security there's really no really no hard institutions in place that are monitoring these kind of factories and there are no regulations that most countries and the countries that do have regulations of

softening them so that profits could go higher and less money is spent on protecting the people and improving the plants again profits come before people and if you have to spend more money on building better plants or better equipment that comes secondary to the bottom line and again when you look at what's going on in america and see the conditions that are declining here they really don't care what's going on all bit there. and some other world news and grief right now and u.s. lawmakers want more sanctions against north korea a new dr bill is modeled on current iranian restrictions and is aimed at chinese companies and binds young users to conduct its business meanwhile north korea says it's pushing a detained american on trial for allegedly trying to overthrow the government operates of korean descent was arrested last year in a special economic zone bordering china and russia relations between the u.s. and the north plummeted earlier this month with each threatening to attack the

been in a lot of trouble lately she has no served eighteen months of a seven year prison term for abuse of power when she signed gas deals with russia in two thousand and nine but this could get a lot worse because of her allegedly to an assassination almost two decades ago in one thousand nine hundred six ukrainian member of parliament you've given sure to bring was shot dead in eastern ukraine back then a confession by want to use killers shocked the country. the man who painted for the job mentioned bed share buttons killing was ordered by a man nicknamed pasha it was obvious to us that under pasha he meant by bill was a wrinkle ukraine's prime minister. was that it could never face charges for those allegations he spent twelve years behind bars in the united states for tax evasion and fraud and is now seeking political asylum across the atlantic but in the typical ukrainian rollercoaster style twist he's name has recent or first again

just can't rule anything out as most of them do have skeletons in their clothes that puts. them almost every politician in ukraine can go on trial some didn't pay tax some were involved in corrupt schemes but as long as they obey the rules of the political game they're not prosecuted by calling the president and the government illegitimate after the change of power went beyond the boundaries of a democratic political gain and hence the rules of the game were changed. this third case against a machine who is no in a preliminary stage it is still unclear what kind of evidence investigators have against but they seem confident there is enough to press charges before summer the thriller which is the tim assange court case has been a walk in ukraine for almost two years now and all this time supporters of the former prime minister have been think you think the essential street all the recent developments in this saga are clearly suggesting they will not be leaving anytime
