is there is a coming to life from the russian capital i'm marina joshie welcome to the program american military hardware may soon and up in rebel hands on the front lines of the conflict in syria according to white house official the source speaking on condition of anonymity said washington is preparing to sand weaponry in response to opposition requests for surface to air missiles and anti-tank rockets speaking to reporters president barack obama himself hinted at military action if allegations of chemical warfare in syria are concerned. listen to what the president had to say . the only option that he gave was a scenario in which he said if the u.s. finds out that the syrian government has used chemical weapons against the rebels then obama strongly indicated that the u.s. would consider military intervention but he did not address what would happen if it

was in fact the rebels or members of the opposition that have used chemical weapons throughout this ongoing conflict but at this point barack obama says that u.s. intelligence officials don't know who has used chemical weapons inside of syria how they were used or whether they were used the u.s. cannot confirm if it was in fact a mask who's used the weapons now obama said that his administration doesn't have a chain of custody that establishes exactly what has happened in syria and in the meantime damascus and the opposition have repeatedly accused one another of using chemical weapons on tuesday syria's ambassador to the u.n. allege that terrorist groups fighting alongside rebels had used chemical material during an attack near the city of lip and attempted to a claim that incident on the syrian government in the meantime the united nations says damascus has so far refused to allow

a team of experts inside the country to investigate the use of chemical weapons but syrian officials say they would like a detailed list of what u.n. officials would be probing before entering the country but the u.s. president has not indicated if the opposition in syria would suffer any consequences if it is found out that they are the ones that used chemical weapons well speaking to r.t. for a libertarian party presidential candidate gary johnson pointed to the terrible cost of past interventions as a reason enough not to get involved in syria. let's get all the information and after we've gotten all the information let's look at our military interventions in the past i suggest to you that there is not a military intervention in my life that has been warranted it hasn't resulted in consequences that. are unpredictable from the start these

milla to our military interventions have resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country but but for our military interventions i don't think would otherwise exist you said seventy thousand people have been killed when you look at our past military interventions our military interventions resulted in another hundred thousand losing their lives but somehow that's justified because it's on the side of good it's on the side of the united states and i'm being facetious being facetious our military interventions don't end up improving these situations the u.s. may not be alone i a possible role in the syrian war the lebanese as long as the law says it could provide arms to the government they have thirty terrorist bombings in damascus that left scores there that's still coming out. and after eighty four days of the guantanamo bay hunger strike iraq obama reacts vowing to once again attempt to shut down the detention camps saying it goes against the american way.

israel will soon get its fifth dolphin class submarine believed to be capable of launching cruise missiles with nuclear warheads the country's the fans ministry has announced the move comes in spite of tel aviv's decades long policy of remaining silent on its alleged nuclear weapons that confirmed arsenal is assumed to be behind hublot a decision to pull out from nuclear nonproliferation talks in geneva or more in doubt from artie's policy. carmen says it is withdrawing from a second week of the nonproliferation treaty talks in geneva in protest against what it is calling the failure to implement a one nine hundred ninety five resolution for a middle east free of nuclear weapons now the cairo argument is an implicit reference to is rope that has never either confirmed or denied having nuclear arms and it is also not a signatory to the nonproliferation treaty arab states and iran say that israel's

presumed nuclear arsenal poses a threat to peace in the middle east as well as security in a statement by the egyptian foreign ministry its it was pulling out of the talks to quote to send a strong message of non acceptance of the continued lack of seriousness in dealing with the establishment of a nuclear free zone in the middle east karo went on to say that it cannot continue waiting forever for the implementation of this within the region now the egyptians are calling on middle states and international bodies to be able sponsibility again quoting implementing legitimate international resolutions the argument however from the israeli side as well as the american side is that a nuclear arms free zone in the middle east chemically a reality until there is a broad arab israeli peace plan in place and iran could see its nuclear program the meeting currently underway in geneva is aimed at reviewing progress in implementing

the nine hundred seventy nonproliferation treaty which is designed to prevent the spread of nuclear arms across the world while we spoke to british member of parliament german corben who's also vice chairman of the campaign for nuclear disarmament and he says that a nuclear free middle east will remain elusive unless washington and brussels pressure israel to stop its atomic activities. well israel depends very heavily on trade with the european union and military aid from the united states we need action urgently by those two key players in the situation to put the most enormous pressure on on israel either through sanctions or withdrawing or lift or lifting the trade agreement which also has a human rights clause who then it israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them could have a sea based system and a country in the region that has a nuclear power system turkey egypt saudi arabia or could develop their own nuclear

weapons if they wish to clearly the danger now is a nuclear arms race in the middle east with all the terrible consequences that that could bring about if ever they should be used by western powers are in no hurry to stop israel's alleged nuclear program as they encourage there from the outset says ramzy baroud alliston chronicle dot com. if israel was going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again the israel is dealing with the situation there's i would say an international conspiracy to allow israel to continue with its quest for nuclear armaments if it were not for western countries so now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capability is some estimates with two hundred nuclear warheads but others say about four hundred if not even more there's absolutely no need for israel to develop enough weapons to destroy the middle east

several times over in the name of security you can't be achieving security at the expense of world peace. it's exactly ten years since washington declared victory in iraq what followed was a devastating hugely expensive war with consequences that both countries are still struggling to deal with yet washington still insists the whole venture was a success. record unemployment collapsing confidence and a raging dad crisis but brown says brighter times are ahead for you were predicting block why growth next year shortly we'll hear from experts on what's behind the optimism. now so-called muslim patrols are again active in london was vigilantes trying to impose islamic ideals on the local population and while arrests may have tempered the activist zeal they continue to promote their views some of which are quite radical but moderate muslim leaders fear their

actions could credit the whole community as a terrorist now reports. when that is of misinformation on taste find the cereal or unsuspecting them as a public first hit the headlines there was an outcry in person well since then some arrests have been made because artists found out self-titled most of them patrols still in operation this group called themselves the shari'a projects. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his videos cause such anger recently with scenes like this we're almost. out of we're proud of. our work. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused. this fall they say that whilst they share many of the same views as the other patrols they'd never employ the same course of

tactics. the backgrounds. of measure i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable that to come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. about their actual actions and the shouting that we would see the body by today obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise my muslim brother fantasy into an action that happens more appropriate always advise me say what is better for many in the mainstream muslim community these patrols across the concern but if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions is wrong and i'm representative these individuals are a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community this seven million muslims and. and they you know they never.

condone this type of behavior. very. to us that they have peaceful intentions some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme patrols while members serve three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism a vis the us and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline viz known all the man to go to hell i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god did find this vision to be the end point anyway and those laws at the establishment that would go with them would for how to roll makes it into the empire i have no respect for before whatsoever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take it from the passive approach that i don't think you fix the country we are great but you are doing no i shall to protesting your food before you start for the

story of richard i think you something don't really trust the chief field agent to take this in many both amongst the muslims and the white british community there are worries not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority could have on a much larger scale so. london. now the leader of hezbollah has hinted that the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government and this comes after two massive car blasts in the space of two days in central damascus claiming the lives of at least twenty people a latest ripped through a bustling square in the your former interior ministry building monday is attach hard to the syrian prime minister who survived but one of his bodyguards was killed carl shero a blogger on the middle east saying serious political opposition has failed to distance itself from the extremist rebels there are terrorizing the population you

know. the syrian opposition leader just. you know the other factions on the ground in syria then it should. just most of it just went for stopping those arches and i g.'s to to distance itself from groups not just the mr which hasn't done so far i think this kind of confusion is so i fear you want to oppose the west in the us and particularly on the leaders of the syrian opposition broad's i'm not really been clear enough not taken it to condemn the car bombings and similar actions clearly i'm kind of distanced themselves from the groups that i'd like you to behave be behind some of them well after a short break americans face soul searching over the cost of the iraq war save us for that we can.

welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow a week of mayhem across iraq has seen over two hundred people killed a man more injured and the worst violence since the and of the u.s. occupation this comes exactly ten years after george bush declared america's victory over saddam save that message is still washington's official line despite the unrelenting bloodshed hazards he's going to count on reports many americans feel history is repeating itself. major combat operations in iraq have ended in the battle of iraq the united states and our allies have prevailed president george w. bush delivered the message on may the first two thousand and three a declaration of success followed by years of bloody work when bush made that speech i was in the military and public affairs that was the stated mission and the liberation and freedom for iraqis and it didn't seem to me like that's happening

because there was all this violence that was her head she waited by our presence for years after this speech as many americans and the whole world saw iraq as a heart monitor washington decided to sending twenty thousand more troops that surge cost the u.s. the lives of more than a thousand soldiers and many billions of dollars of taxpayers' money on his deathbed to iraq war veteran to honest young wrote a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney and i want them good mood was both like you'd wonder and they care while lying in the church of american politics sometimes even doubting success can be perceived as last moments as being true for the iraq surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you said that would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since viet nam we are correct or incorrect by right or not my reference to the so handling what is your handle the quote is

where you are right or wrong my answer is i'll defer that judgment to history it's history has already made a judgment about that sure and you're on the wrong side of it. was not called for many years into the v.a. or minister americans of involvement there is a mistake dozens of us troops die because what made it someone has to die is so that president nixon won't be and these are his words the first president to lose a war supporters of president bush say history will treat him more kindly regarding iraq but the history that is being lived by iraqis today is one that has. neither peace nor security in a country ripped apart by terror six tarion violence and huge the booming civil war in washington i'm going to show. horrific scenes of a grom military base in afghanistan as a u.s. cargo plane went through the air or hitting the ground at a massive fireball killing all seven american remembers and you can hear the

details. cancer's raged through the libyan capital demanding that lawmakers oust former members of colonel gadhafi regime from power and stop any war from taking government pose we've got the details on our website. cyprus has officially become the layers here is own nation to be bailed out having approved that cash lifeline from brussels albeit one with harsh conditions attached that happen as the e.u. release new unemployment figures revealing that joblessness in march was at an all time high despite bad news across the block the european commission is actually

predicting growth for the monitor us year but some experts say that's unrealistic. probably what the european commission knows about predicting economic growth forecast and you could probably write the back of a postage stamp to be honest with you i think that there's very little prospect of the european or the growing at any point in the future what i would say is that. even if you level the playing field at the moment you took away all the day all the problems in europe because it's extremely difficult to see how it would grow going forward because in order to compete with the chinese and the indians and the canadians of the australians what europe needs is to be regulated small kids and to cut the bureaucracy and the red tape and the i'm elected officials that basically run it what europe is in fact doing at the moment is the exact opposite it hasn't even begun to tackle its problems yet and in fact while i would argue is that it's actually doing exactly the wrong thing european vision has been falling apart the years but unfortunately for the run europe i've still got that vision and i still

held on pursuing that vision. you know i think the two are a good start to have doubts at this stage and you know that is very very worrying for europe going forward as well. u.s. president barack obama has finally broken his silence over the ongoing hunger strike at the guantanamo bay prison renewing calls to shut down the facility he told the camp quote a problem that is only going to fester the statement came after extra medical staff arrived at the prison to treat at least one hundred inmates who are refusing food again stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war thinks washington is just trying to reduce its reputational damage. i think the u.s. authorities are in damage control mode now because they know that with every prisoner who dies in guantanamo bay the negative attention of the world is going to be focused. and the shame that has brought upon the united states of america unfortunately the. crimes that have been can. be and are still being committed in

guantanamo bay by the united states will not go away and the the attention of the world to negative attention is focused on these crimes and i'll say look at some of the stories from around the world tear gas and water cannon fire a may day protests are in this town who are marking international workers day police and reporters are having difficulty breathing despite wearing gas masks due to the thick chemical cloud in the streets yes the word is refused permission for the gathering as it was actively supported by members of a marxist group terrorised by the government. in canada almost three billion dollars worth of anti-terrorism funds are unaccounted for according to the official in charge of the nation's finances that's part of the thirteen billion dollars put aside for anti terror operations between two thousand and one and two thousand and nine the auditors general said in the spring reported that the money is missing only that of the main on where it was friends can be found he also
