is actually coming to life from moscow. american military hardware may soon end up and rebel hands on the frontlines of the conflict in syria according to white house official a source speaking on condition of anonymity said washington is preparing to send weaponry in response to opposition requests for surface to air missiles and anti-tank rockets speaking to reporters president barack obama himself hinted at the two reaction if the legations of chemical warfare in syria are confirmed or to . listen to what the president have 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 iraq 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 damascus 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 the rebels had used chemical material during an attack near the city of lip and attempted to a blame 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 that they are the ones that used chemical weapons and speaking to r.t. for military and party presidential candidate gary johnson pointed to the terrible cost of pass interventions is 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 and hasn't resulted in consequences that. are unpredictable from the start these millett 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 inside 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 now the u.s. may not be alone eyeing a possible role in the syrian war the lebanese islam his group has losses it could provide arms of war to the government there after two days of terrorist bombings in damascus that have left scores dead that's coming up. and after a four days of the guantanamo bay hunger strike rock obama reacts vowing to once again attempt to shut down the detention camp saying it goes against the american way. israel will soon get its fifth dolphin class submarine believed to be capable of launching cruise

was nuclear warheads the country's defense ministry has announced the most is out of tel aviv's decades long policy of remaining silent on its alleged nuclear weapons and that unconfirmed arsenal is assumed to be behind it its hard blot a decision to pull out from nuclear nonproliferation talks in geneva or more in doubt for martys policy year. carlos 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 nine hundred ninety five resolution for a middle east free of nuclear weapons now the cairo argument is an implicit reference to israel 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 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 with a new show and now the egyptians are calling on member states and international bodies to be able to once ability again quoting implementing legitimate international resolutions the argument however from the israeli side as well as the american side is that a nuclear arms freezone in the mideast chemically a reality until there is a border arab israeli peace plan in place and iran could see its nuclear program meeting currently underway in geneva is editor viewing progress in implementing the nine hundred seventy nonproliferation treaty which is designed to prevent the spread of nuclear arms across all and we spoke to british member of parliament germany the birds are 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 because 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 in it israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them and could have a safety system any country in the region that has a nuclear power system turkey egypt saudi arabia all could develop their own nuclear weapons if they wish to clearly the danger now is very 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 if from the outset as ramsey borrowed adhir of palestine 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 armament if it were not for western countries supports now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capability as a state with the two hundred nuclear warheads but others say about four hundred if even more there is absolute 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. was exactly ten years since washington declared victory and iraq well followed was

a devastating and hugely expensive war with consequence 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 debt crisis but brussel says broader times are ahead for you are predicting block why growth next year shortly we'll hear from experts on what's behind the news optimism. so-called muslim patrols are gana active in london was vigilantes trying to impose islamic deals on the local population and while arrests may have tempered the activists zeal they continue to promote their views some of which are quite radical but moderate muslim leaders fear their actions could discredit the whole community as artists are first now reports. but that is of misinformation on taste find someplace cereal or an unsuspecting members of the public just hit the headlines there was an outcry in

britain well since then some arrests have been made because r.t.c. found out its self titled missing the patrols still in for a. the few minutes we continue to patrol the streets and clear the streets of the bus isn't even if it's discreet cooling sells the shari'a project. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his videos cause such angry things with things like this we almost. did i were wrong to read. our work. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused on the larger told this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same he's asked the other patrols they've never employed the same tactics. to the bank. but. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable but since i've

come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. there are actual actions and the sad thing is we still have bodies by today obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise my muslim brothers i see you do an action that perhaps more appropriate always advise me to say what is better for many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are a cause for concern but it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions and i'm representing. these individuals are a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million muslims in. and. they you know they would never condone this type of behavior both the groups were very clear that they have

peaceful intentions of the members or alleged to be able to the more extreme patrols one member served 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 ps known voted out all the man to go to hell i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the one that's a good part of this nation would be the end point anyway and those laws at the establishment that would go with them would for how to roll etc into him while i have no respect for bush will whatsoever i asked the leader of the shari'a project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take on the passive approach that i don't think you fix the country and you are great but you are doing no shell to protesting your food before you start with the charade richard i think that you something don't really touch the key for your day to day the been many both amongst the muslim and the why did bush 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. now the leader of house of law has hinted that the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government this comes after two massive car blasts in the space of two days in central damascus claiming the lives of at least twenty people the latest ripped through a bustling square near a former interior ministry building monday's attack targeted the syrian prime minister who survived a one of his bodyguards was killed a blogger on the middle east thinks serious political opposition has failed to distance itself from the extremist rebels that are terrorizing the population it is the modern responsibility. position and read represents. you know the other factions on the ground in syria then it should take this most of it just went for

stopping those actions and ideas to treat this as it's not from it's not just the sun which hasn't done so far i think this kind of confusion saif is one of those to the west and the us in particular the leaders of the syrian opposition group i've not really been clear enough not taken to condemn the car bombings and similar actions clearly i'm kind of distanced themselves from the groups that are likely to be be behind some of them. after the break americans face soul searching over the cost of the iraq war stay with us. and.

i think going down of the song and good morning we will remember that we were were we .

welcome back you're watching r.t. coming to live from moscow and a week of may have lost iraq has seen over two hundred people killed a man more injured and the worst violence is the aunt of the u.s. occupation this comes exactly ten years after george bush declared america's victory over saddam hussein that message is still washington's official line despite the unrelenting blodgett his art he's got to count the reports many americans feel history is repeating itself major combat operations in iraq have ended in the battle of iraq the united states and around lies 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 war when bush made that speech i was in the military and public affairs that was the stated mission you know liberation and freedom for iraqis and it didn't seem to me like that happening because there was all this violence that was her kitchen aided by our presence for

years after this speech as many americans and the whole world saw iraq as a part mine or washington decided to send in 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 the iraq war veteran thomas young wrote a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney in the one good move was. both. born here while lying in the church of american politics sometimes even doubting success can be perceived as blasphemous that's been true for the rack surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you said that the search would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder this country since viet nam we are correct or incorrect by right or no my reference to the survey and jean what he's hearing under the can is or wrong my answer is i'll defer that judgment to history i think history has

already made a judgment about the searcher and you're on the wrong side of it chuck hagel is reference to vietnam was not uncalled for years into the vietnam war even as most americans saw the involvement there is a mistake thousands of u.s. troops continue to die because washington didn't want to admit it someone has to die and 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 fears of a looming civil war in washington i'm going to check out. horrific scenes a bugger all military base in afghanistan as a u.s. cargo plane twists in the air before hitting the ground in a massive fireball killing all seven american crew members have a details on r t dot com. protesters raged through the libyan capital demanding

unrealistic probably what the european commission knows about predicting economic growth forecasts you could probably run on the back of a postage stamp to be honest with you i think that there's a very good prospect the european will be 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 it's extremely difficult to see how it would grow going forward because in order to compete with the chinese and the indians 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 on elected officials that basically run it what europe is in fact doing at the moment is an exact opposite it hasn't even begun to tackle its problems yet and in fact while i would argue it's actually doing exactly the wrong thing european vision has been falling apart the years but unfortunately people who run europe have still got that vision and a still hell bent on pursuing that vision. you know so i think that too arrogant to

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 time of a prison renewing calls to shut down the facility he colin campbell quotes a problem that is only going too fast or the statement came after x. from medical staff arrived at the prison to treat at least one hundred inmates who are refusing food and stone from the house and coalition to stop the war sayings washington is just trying to reduce its reputation 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 on. 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. now to go to some other stories from around the world tear gas and water cannons have been fired on protesters in the sample marking international workers day police and reporters are having difficulty breathing spy wearing gas masks due to the thick chemical cloud on the streets if the word is refused permission for the gathering as it was actively supported by members of a marxist group deemed terrorist by the government may day is a sensitive occasion for turkey did a lingering resentment over a failed crackdown in nine hundred seventy seven that left dozens of protesters dead. cow of almost three billion dollars of antiterrorism funds are unaccounted for according to official in charge of the nation's finances that's part of a thirteen billion dollar reserve set aside for anti terror operations between two
