the movie about international airport in the very heart of moscow. treating itself in the food u.s. media reports suggest a secret american payments to the afghan government have been ending up in the hands of warlords drug barons and even the taliban insurgents that nato has been battling against for the last decade. cash for cuts grease gets a multi-billion euro payout in return for slashing fifteen thousand state sector jobs as the e.u. braces itself for new unemployment figures. and the u.k. could be about to boost its military presence in the gulf states the british say more british troops would further harm stability an already troubled region.

which is actually live from moscow i'm marina josh you now the u.s. has for years been calling for a crackdown on corruption with in afghanistan's government but it turns out behind the curtains american officials may and may have played a driving role in the shadowy deals there are media reports suggest that millions of dollars in cash are regularly ships to the afghan leadership in return for u.s. influence in running the country president hamid karzai has confirmed the shipments but claims that their scope is being exaggerated details for artie's gun it should come. both u.s. and afghan officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to the new york times and said that for many years the cia had paid tens of millions of dollars in what they say was ghost money to the office of president karzai the afghan government has received billions of dollars in u.s. taxpayers money but the officials say that the secret cash went to fuel corruption in the country the cia apparently delivers the cash every month in suitcases

backpacks and plastic shopping bags the official said much of the money goes to paying off warlords and politicians many of whom have ties to the drug trade and in some cases the taliban the result of that appears to be that the agency empowers the same networks that american diplomats and law enforcement agents say they're trying to dismantle president karzai was asked about the goetia money and. he basically dismissed the payments as no big deal saying those are monthly small amounts used for various purposes as the cia declines to comment another u.s. official has been quoted as saying the biggest source of corruption in the united states afghan officials quoted in this new york times report said a number of senior officials in the afghan national security council are individually on the cia's payroll there was an interesting story with the administrative chief of the act council mohammad. mr saleh he was arrested in two

thousand and ten in connection with the sprawling american led investigation that tied together afghan. taliban financing and the opium trade president karzai heading released within hours and the cia then helped persuade the obama administration to back off its anti-corruption push possibly because they didn't want the cia connection discovered in the alleged corruption scheme because that would be a story of a dog chasing its tail in washington. anti-war campaigner richard bakker says the billions of dollars that washington has already poured into afghanistan have a no way helped the country's people. it's really amazing when you look at the cia operations in afghanistan which really began that in two thousand and one of the banks in seventy nine nine hundred eighty s. the cia largest operation and it's entirely history is carried out in america is

there and the billions and billions of dollars that have flowed and yet today in two thousand and thirteen afghanistan ranked exactly last so it really indicates what about the corrupting influence that the cia interventionists head over all of these years and continues to have today there. are various sums of money the real the us military budget this year overall be over a trillion dollars and we are today in the united states virtually here it's nearly forty percent of the population according to the government itself is now in the living in poverty or as low income and the interest of the people have been sacrificed on the altar of militarism now the united states takes action to ease the alarming situation that's developing at guantanamo bay extra doctors are being sent to the camp for detainees are on a hunger strike but he human rights concerns remain unaddressed and that's i have

a sturdy bit rhymin like any other drug trial it would have been discontinued because of it is the outside of us. now the global financial scandal over a libel or a loan raid think saying still on the result a new banking controversy is already brewing u.s. agents are investigating huge scale rate manipulation on the interest markets and many of the world's leading banks are once again in pain while he take on it and we've got a full show coming your way next hour. the current scam is being perpetrated by. barclays and these other banks are happening in real time and they're reported to don't need to go beyond that you don't need to see anywhere connected to this criminality other than the actual criminals themselves and i don't i don't care about the build a bridge group because. we don't need to have a conspiracy theory about people that might or might not be committing crimes when we have actual criminal behaving committing time openly tauntingly it's just i

think the people who are upset that build a bridge i think it's an excuse for them not taking action instead of taking action against a guy who runs like they're saying oh we have to go after the build a bridge because they're too timid to go after the actual criminal they're too lazy to go after the actual criminal. now an influential british thing tangle leaves a country should send more troops to authoritarian arab states in the persian gulf region this even though there have been downside of years the royal united services institute conclusions come as a surprise to many fear such a move would further destabilize an already troubled region as we see is a world renowned defense think tank that credited with really influencing government defense policy so these recommendations and what they're talking about in this paper to be taken lightly the paper talks about the fact that it might be britain might be considering setting up its military presence in the gulf states

especially next year out of a pullout from afghanistan now that would be quite a departure from forty years ago when they actually shut down a string of defense bases in the gulf states and be saved it might be rice considering the on rest taking place in the arab states at the moment they might want to preempt trouble if they're based in the gulf states at the moment on the other hand they're. is of course some of the human rights records of some of the countries that they might be dealing with that might not be too good for britain's image and of course talking about returning to the middle east in terms of military presence might force some of the saudis to talk about retiring to israel powers and imperial aspirations so to talk about britain's presence in the gulf states. i'm joined in the studio by chris bambery he's a political analyst quests the recent paper says that increased military presence

in a kind of would be just of it considering the instability that we're witnessing in the region what do you think an increased british military presence in the gulf can only instability rather than be stabilized what is the instability in the gulf states the moment internally to the gulf states which is the democracy movements we've seen in bahrain in particular because we're going to intervene against a democracy movement demanding human rights and sell to a nation or i think the real issue when you talk about stability is around and what we are seeing at the moment i think from sanctions on iran opposed by america. is also an american would build up which is engaged in in the persian gulf which is deliberately aimed as part of attempt to build put pressure on the iranian regime whatever question we strapped for cash the arab states are swimming in it if you've got a cash cow why not well david cameron and. big breaking ball

ribbon potential asking for money and selling anything they can return for that actually the united arab emirates and some forty million pounds a building which was attributed to qatar is the biggest supplier of the actual gas and i think it would be kinda developing not to ease a dependence on russia because of tension between britain and russia as well but i think we have got to put it in the context of this is a return to us of an imperial policy which has been spearheaded by the united states with britain truly behind and no four. decision to increase and presence of what was once was a respond rethink you very much for your comments in december the u.k. chief of defense afghanistan the gulf will become the case main military effort and it looks like this report is proving that theory correct especially if according to resee there could be a lot of money to be made in the gulf states for the british government. of syria is becoming a security had it for the entire region the pullout of government forces from the

international and in the very hot tomato. welcome back here with arts you know almost three months after the hunger strike started to spread among inmates at guantanamo bay prison camp the was finally after all the situation there it's somebody medics to the camp to help those detainees who are refusing food and that's more than half of the prisoners more than twenty of the protestors are being force fed and some have been hospitalized meanwhile the key issues raised by starving inmates those of indefinite detention and human rights abuses remain on addressed by washington most of the guantanamo detainees

are being held without charge and many have been cleared for release terry cooper is a psychiatry professor at the right institute thinks the best way to keep the inmates alive would be to give them more humane conditions. when one or two people go want to hunger strike it's an extreme act they're taking the risk of their life and they have a message that they want to deliver they exhausted all the possibilities to communicate and have a voice when a hundred people or. some people even go on a hunger strike you've got a major problem with the harsh conditions and the end the answer is to settle the person and improve the conditions instead they're playing a extremely dangerous the military is playing extremely dangerous game of letting them starve to death and then the question of whether they should be force fed or not which is not really the real question the real question is why not address their demands at in front of read what their lawyers have to say on our website r t dot com also on. russian couple wins

safely russia's foreign ministry says it's launched an urgent probe to find out what exactly happened it remains unclear whether the people on the ground knew they were firing at a russian civilian plane however a syrian rebels earlier said xander and. c.s. backers of presents it would have been targets that iraqi from the syrian use movement suspects the attack was intentional. the most amazing concept which could have happened was rebel fire from missiles which could have been given by real people taken from government forces it's very hard to define whether it's intentional by accident but it probably would be intentional noble forces would fire a missile i thin air a plane a civilian aircraft without it being done intentionally the history of rebels using . missiles to fire against civilian aircraft especially in the south of syria so it can essentially another reprehensible act which probably would have been committed by rebel forces and should gain condemnation from all the states after it is clear who actually committed this this but it does show that these are not the liberal

forces which the west wanted to arm in the first place and the fact that they would even consider to attack russian airplane shows that the level of bargain to propose a political solution in the syria crisis they would be a target for rebel groups for any russian civilians or any russian. specialists inside of syria including airplanes and the syrian and rescued soon moved closer to israel's border the conflict has forced mask is to pull sounds of troops occupied golan heights to fight rebels in other parts of syria all that's left area vulnerable to armed jihadist activity across israel finds highly warring parties are reading those given our reports. technically i don't see you are still at war but paradoxically for the last forty years the occupied golan heights have proved to be relatively peaceful until now. i believe seventy six. ok it's. it's open no one you know and you can feel. the jews

a religious minority very distantly connected to islam were split by the un mandated ceasefire border in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven when israel occupied the golan heights since then those who live on the israeli side of the fence haven't paid off attention to the events on the other side recently their reasons for worry have multiplied as news of a major reconnaissance mission by syria broke in early april the information came from western diplomats who said that the recent redeployment of syrian troops in the biggest one more than forty years some say that as many as twenty thousand highly trained soldiers have left the golan heights leaving behind what could be described as a security vacuum which could soon be filled by none other than the poles who had tried taking shots at the druze villages in the golan heights. the druze say islamists fighting in syria target them as followers of a cult for. the us.

the sounds of gunshots from the border with syria get louder and seem to move closer to home is relief issues are already showing signs of getting close to hitting the panic button saying they're ready to head back militarily if the situation in the golan heights becomes critical and that may mean yet another war for israel in the golan heights r.t. . i'll take a look at some of the stories from around the world believe is constitutional or has ruled that the current president have a morales and run for a third term in december of next year the court said that the countries of data constitution which allows only one reelection they may have power after all is the second ten years started and doesn't apply to use this term this has caused outrage among the believe in opposition which claims the decision is biased. in cos or five people have been found guilty of human organ trafficking and a us court had to back so many years to have an illegal clinic in personnel were the transplants took place cos of old benny and dr
