5:02 am
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 when they were used the u.s. cannot confirm if it was in fact a mascot 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
5:03 am
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 speaking to r.t. for military and party presidential candidate gary johnson pointed to the terrible cost of pass interventions as 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
5:04 am
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 while the u.s. may not be alone eyeing a possible role in the syrian war the lebanese islamic group has been lost as it would provide arms support to the government there after two days of terrorist bombings in damascus that have left scores dad that's coming up later in the

program. after eighty four days of the guantanamo bay hunger strike barack 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 missiles with nuclear warheads the countries 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 confirmed arsenal is soon to be behind edge its hot blooded decision to pull out from nuclear nonproliferation talks in geneva warned that from artie's policy. 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
5:06 am
reference to israel that has never either confirmed or denied having nuclear arms and 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 it's 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 powell 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 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 freezone 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
5:07 am
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 always spoke to british member of parliament german corben who is also vice chairman of the campaign for nuclear disarmament 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 was drawing or lift a lifting the trade agreement which also has a human rights clause within it israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them and could have
5:08 am
a single 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 encouraged it from the outset as rumsey borrowed out of their of palestine chronicle dot com. if israel were going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again the israel is dealing with the situation there is i would say an international conspiracy to allow israel to continue with its quest for nuclear armament if it were not for western countries now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capabilities some estimates with two
5:09 am
hundred nuclear warheads but others say about four hundred if not even more there is 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. and here's more in the developing story that we're following here on r t a deadly explosion has hit me in south russia's republic of dagestan a woman a child and a child have reportedly been killed and manny more people are injured the bomb went off near a large shopping mall in the city center republic of dagestan as a volatile region the tories for regular terrorist activity well here in r.t. will bring you more information what's happening there as we get it to other stories that we're following following for here today so cold muslim patrols are again active and london was vigilantes trying to impose islamic i.d.
5:10 am
on the local population and while arrests may have tampered the activist 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 for us now reports. but it is a misfortune on taste to find some place where lorne unsuspecting members of the public first hit the headlines there was an outcry well since then some arrests have been made because our team is found out self-titled most of them put cells still in operation the muslim community will continue to patrol the streets and clear the streets of the bus isn't illegal activities this group called themselves the shari'a project. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his videos cause such anger we think with things like this we almost.
5:11 am
really know we're proud of. our work. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused. on 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. for the background. i mean looking at those patrols i can see there is commendable but. decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. that selections and the sad thing that we would still have. to be thankful obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach is to avoid almost rather if you do an action that perhaps more appropriate always advise me say what is better for many in the mainstream muslim community these patrols are things that concern was if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned that your
5:12 am
films i'm representing these individuals are a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million. and they. would never. condone. this type of behavior both the groups were very clear to us that they have peaceful intentions some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme of the trolls one member thirty three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fundraising and in fighting terrorism a vis the us and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline ps known they fight it all the man to go to hell i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god this final decision would be the end point anyway and those laws that the establishment that would go with them would for how to roll back settle into hell fire to have no respect for visual whatsoever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he would send by things like that i said you
5:13 am
know if you take it from the passive approach that i don't think you fix the country and you are great but you are doing no shouting and protesting your food before you start putting the shari'a richard i think that is something that would really touch the sea for your age and to face this in many base amongst the muslim and the why to push community there are worries not just about these actions but about the ten to weep because shien's where the city school minority kids have on a much larger scale so they wanted to leave her house was hit a bad the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government this is after two massive car blast 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 montes attack targeted the syrian prime minister who survived but one of his bodyguards was killed culture oh a blogger on the middle east thinks serious political opposition has failed to
5:14 am
distance a healthy extremist rebels there are terrified the population because it is a moderate responsibility and syrian opposition review represents. you know the other factions on the ground in syria then it should take. there's a possibility as well for stopping those actions and ideas to try to distance itself from it's not just happened last year which hasn't done so far i think to this kind of confusion so i fear you want your boss to the west and the u.s. in particular and the leaders of the syrian opposition the broad i've not really been clear enough not taken a koku condemned car bombings and similar actions clearly and kind of distanced themselves from the groups that are likely to behind be behind some of them. more breaking news august bombing coming up in just a moment stay with us. steve

5:17 am
it took place near the market in the capital of the republic of biggest done in the caucasus we're getting some reports that the local prosecutor's office is also there in that area it's not yet known whether there's some sort of accident or an attack investigators are they're working on the spot specialist and expert of the bomb squad everybody's currently working there trying to figure out what exactly happened and if any more explosions are possible but while dagestan is one of the most volatile regions in the country for instance just yesterday three policemen were killed in a shootout with militant concerning this blast will of course we'll be bringing you all the details as soon as we get any new information well and we of course will be getting the very latest updating our viewers so far we're just hearing that the two deaths of children were confirmed there in this explosion thanks very much for now
5:18 am
for updating us and bringing us the very latest of course we'll be bringing you more here on r t as we get it. two of the stories that we're following for you here today a week of may have across iraq has seen over two hundred people killed a man more injured in 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 hussein that message is still washington's official line despite the unrelenting bloodshed and artie's gun if you can our 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 prison doors of the bush to rid 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
5:19 am
i was in the military and public affairs that was the stated mission and the liberation credo for iraqis and it didn't seem to me like that happening because they were all this violence that was her catch it by our presence for years after this speech as many americans and the whole world saw iraq as a part mire washington decided to send in twenty thousand more troops that surge costly was 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 the one good move was. both. born and terrible in the church of american politics sometimes even doubting success can be perceived as blasphemous that's been true for the iraq surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since viet nam where you are correct or
5:20 am
incorrect by right or no my reference to the singular and jeanne what is your goal the question is were you right 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 poppy goes 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 shut down. all horrific scenes

5:22 am
happened as the e.u. released new unemployment figures revealing dad joblessness in march was at an all time high despite bad news across the block the european commission is actually predicting growth for the monetary union next year but some experts say that's 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 is extremely difficult to see how it would grow going forward because in order to compete with the chinese and the indians and the canadians and 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 in
5:23 am
a 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 i don't foresee the people who run europe of still have vision and a still hell bent on pursuing that vision. you know so i think they're 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 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 arrive at the prison to treat at least one hundred inmates who are refusing food can stone from how the 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
5:24 am
be focused on. and the shame that has brought upon the united states of america unfortunately the. crimes that have been can. and are still being committed in guantanamo bay by the united states will not go away and the the attention of the world the negative attention is focused on these crimes. and the may day rallies elsewhere though aren't going as smoothly tear gas and water cannons have been fired on protesters who are more national workers' day police and reporters are having difficulty breathing despite wearing gas masks due to the thick chemical cloud in the streets 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 due to a lingering resentment over a failed crackdown in one thousand nine hundred seventy left dozens of protesters dead. in canada almost three billion dollars of anti-terrorism funds are
