a global day of action against poor wages and eroded rights as workers worldwide marched to make their voices heard in turkey a rally turned violent with riot police calling to break up demonstrations our europe correspondent piece all of the reports. what we're seeing is demonstrations across europe and across the whole entire world on this may day the first of the of the month in turkey those demonstrations state turned violent protesters clashed with the police we've seen tear gas used as well as flash bang grenades and there's also reports that raw sewage was used in a water cannon blasted it protesters there here in germany but things are really starting to get under way here now earlier on wednesday we saw clashes between. supporters of the far right political party in the police later we're expecting to see the leftists coming out on to the streets in
10:02 am
a few hours now we're going to see the leste leftists coming out for demonstrations here also around europe now just last week in spain they announced record high unemployment figures not seen very large demonstrations in spain there over eighty cities across the country we've seen demonstrations taking place as the spanish come out to vent their anger against over six million people without jobs in that country and one of the countries that's been worst affected by the current financial crisis is greece and there we've seen a twenty four hour general strike taking place demonstrators coming out onto the streets of most of the major cities many many people coming out and showing just how angry they are with the way that the country is being managed or as many people less see it mismanaged by the current government in charge and how they're being treated as well by the the wider european community right across the whole entire
10:03 am
globe we've seen demonstrations take place in the philippines in south korea also in the middle east iraq we've seen demonstrations as well so this is truly a global day of action and it's certainly been a global day of protest right across the whole world and we're expecting more later on. well people clearly have plenty to protest about right now people are bear will be here at fifteen thirty g.m.t. and cross-talk asks if the economic mess has put the global capitalism in crisis. israel is about to add to its fleet of submarines which are thought capable of launching nuclear around missiles the country still denies possessing atomic weapons though the suspicion is enough to remain a deep source of regional tension was sufficient to make egypt walk out of nuclear
10:04 am
talks on monday supposedly or experience. congress is 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 thousand nine hundred five resolution for a middle east free of nuclear weapons not a 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
10:05 am
waiting forever for the implementation is an illusion now the egyptians are calling on member states and international bodies to be able sponsibility again quoting for implementing the legitimate international resolutions the argument however from the israeli side as well as the american side is that a nuclear arms food zone in the middle east chemically a reality until there is a broader 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 were calls for washington and brussels to step in british m.p. jeremy corbyn who's also from the campaign for nuclear disarmament says i was the regional consequences not be devastating. well israel depends very heavily on trade with the european union and military aid from the united states we need action
10:06 am
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 within israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system over them and could have a sea of the 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 we had a term of palestine chronicle dot com told r.t. it's wrong to hope western powers will rush to stop israel's alleged nuclear program because they made it possible in the first place. if israel was going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again israel is dealing with the
10:07 am
situation where 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 now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capability as some estimates with them at two 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. before us president george w. bush says he's comfortable about having unleashed the iraq war while washington believes the end justifies the means to look at exactly what state the invasion left around today plus. u.s. proposed maker has to send lethal weapons to the syrian opposition at present obama
10:08 am
vows to move if chemicals had been used by the syrian government says quote about the rebels spent on a program. on the streets of east london the sharia patrols are in force police have tried locking them up in local religious leaders of the sun them that's not stopping the group from trying to coerce britain's into a strict islamist code them muslims all not suffer that's why. it is a miss them vigilant taste find some pay serial or an unsuspecting members of the public first hit the headlines there was an outcry in britain well since then some arrests have been made because artist found out his self-titled muslim patrols 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 projects. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his
10:09 am
videos cause such anger recently with scenes like this we're almost. out of nowhere. now we're. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused on our control on this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same views as the other patrol they've never employed the same aggressive tactics. to the bank. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable that have come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place in. their actual actions and the shouting of people to. buy anything 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
10:10 am
appropriate always advise me to say what is better for many in the mainstream isn't 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 representing. these individuals are a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million muslims and. i. they you know they would never. condone this type of behavior 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 patrols while members served three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism eva sees and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline vs known fighting and all the land going to him i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve
10:11 am
in the oneness of god final decision would be the end point anyway and those laws and the establishment that would go with them would for how. etc into the empire i have no respect for what so ever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he was concerned by statements like that i see no reason to take on the passive approach that i don't think you fix the country and we are grateful we were doing no thanks i'll see them for testing your food stall for history richard i think you some things are really costly for your day to day this in many both amongst the muslim and the white british community there are worries not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority kids have on a much larger scale so r.t. london i'll be back with more international news in just a couple minutes. i

three. three video for your media project free media. welcome back now more than two hundred people have been killed in iraq in less than a week as fears grow that the latest surge and balances seeing the country slide into civil war. looks at the iraq war legacy the u.s. prefers glory to regrets. 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 war when bush made that speech i was in the military and public affairs that was the state mission you know
10:14 am
liberation and freedom for iraq and it didn't seem to me like that 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 or iraq war veteran thomas young wrote a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney. was. both like you'd born and a terrible 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 in this country since viet nam we are correct or incorrect
10:15 am
my right or no my reference to the surge and seeing what he's doing under hagel the question is we right or wrong my answer is i'll defer that judgment to history i think history has already made a judgment about the search are on the wrong side of it chuck he goes reference to vietnam which 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. be speaking to r.t.

a form of a tear in party presidential candidate gary johnson pointed to the terrible cost of past 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 and 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 that 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
10:17 am

syria's rebels may soon get lethal american weaponry senior u.s. officials say barack obama is gearing up to take a more aggressive leadership role among. the president told reporters there's evidence chemical arms have been used in syria and threatened action and only refer to president assad. takes up the story. 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
10:19 am
how they were using were used in the meantime damascus and the opposition have repeatedly accused one another of using chemical weapons one of the many sensitive issues obama address was the issue of closing the prison at guantanamo bay he said the idea that the u.s. would still detain a group of individuals indefinitely without trial is contrary to the interests reputations and morals of america while the u.s. president has shown his strong will to close the prison he lacks the necessary support from congress and that support is what would give obama the authority and the funding to close the prison and now obama's comments come of course as the hunger strike at guantanamo bay prison enters its fourth day this is a story that our first reported back in march and has continued to cover we were among the first to cover it forty extra navy medical staff have been sent in to one hundred inmates refusing food at one time would come pay they can stone things
