welcome to our t twenty four hour news live from moscow my name is you know chicago and news just in a u.s. for fueling plane has crashed near the border between a caregiver stan and kazakhstan there is no word of casualties or damage on the ground officials say emergency crews are on their way to the crash site the u.s. maintains an airbase in kyrgyzstan using it as a transit hub to supply its forces in qatar in afghanistan i should say and the reported crash comes just days after another american plane went down in afghanistan killing all seven crew members of course we'll keep you up to date on this story as we get more details. the news and washington is now officially considering the syrian rebels after holding bond for two years that's according to defense secretary chuck hagel the dramatic twist comes just days after u.s.
6:02 am
officials confirmed intelligence pointing to the use of chemical weapons by the sea when it read she's going to you can see just now from washington so far the administration has been reluctant to arm the rebels directly old though its allies have been doing that for the past two years there have been persistent reports of increasing radicalization of anti assad forces you have an al qaeda affiliated group operating there and the opposition generally welcomes their efforts of the concerns are there now the administration says it's rethinking arming syrian opposition fighters secretary hagel said he'd ministration is considering a range of options he also said he firstly has not decided whether it would be race to provide weapons to the rebels so there is nothing definitive in those remarks at this stage but the context of recent events has created a certain momentum in this kind of momentum may end up bolstering those forces on the ground and actually result in more violence because those fighters one weapons and they want heavy weapons now president obama this week said there is proof that
6:03 am
assad government also forces if used chemical weapons in syria that would be quote again changer again he says the u.s. had evidence that the weapons were used but had no conclusive evidence to tie it to the assad government right now both the rebels and the assad forces blaming each other for the alleged chemical attack in the middle of march in aleppo the syrian government requested the u.n. to send a mission to investigate the incident the u.n. fact finding team has been on standby and ready to deploy but then the u.n. chief appears to have changed his plans for the investigation there's russia's foreign minister with more on the. syrian government and the sort of the germans are. doing this to. the secretary general. it that he is ready to do this but a couple of days later he sent a letter to the syrian government demanding a nexus for the international experts to all territory to the entire series of
6:04 am
syria as well as access to any site and any person this team would like to talk to or to visit and this is something which really defeats the purpose of immediate. investigation into the specific reported case of the use of chemical substances to have either texas in your sights to any person in syria. resembles very much the security council resolutions regarding iraq and we all remember the end of that story so now instead of investigating a concrete incident the u.n. wants access to all sites and this inquiry has once again thought the united nations into the center of a possible plan for weapons of mass destruction where he faces the growth of. the fear again is that politics may get ahead of fact rebels armed by the us could end up telling their weapons on americans that's willing to independent research.
6:05 am
he says that the use should even in washington. they're disappointed that the team has not fallen fast enough and it had always been the intention not only to dismantle the syrian army all render it useless but for us actually and this isn't happening in order to boost support for intervention we need to come up with all sorts of stories such as use of chemical weapons former cia operatives all the bloke the united states has a band-aid policy we we will take care of something today not think about what's happening tomorrow and every time it's the population in america it's the americans that are being victimized as a result of blowback it's not the people that start these wars start the arms and they continue to win at major corporations that are funding these words so you know the american people in a sense are almost as much. as the people in this part that are being subjected to
6:06 am
these grandest. things that are going on on the ground there and it will come back to bite the bullet. it's a happy day for euro skeptics across britain after the u.k. independence party stole the show another british by election the group that seeks britain's withdrawal from the european union came in second in south shields hyundai's perceived as a staggering result considering u.k.i.p. didn't even stand in the constituency in the last general election let's not get north from twenty point a very nice to see today so another by election and another very strong showing with a second place just how established is u.k.i.p. on the british political scene now. well south shields he still be the seat of former labor foreign minister david miliband and it was seen as a real litmus test for how people are feeling at the moment and they've managed to keep hold of that seat but with you nipping at their heels so they've come in fact
6:07 am
. and and it's significant because what it shows is a pattern is emerging over the past six months you can't have come second in four by elections most notably in eastley very recently and it's showing that you can't this was a party that was until very recently seen as marginal one senior conservative minister described it described them as clowns only very very recently but it looks like they're having the last last this is a party that's noticeably euro skeptic they want to see britain out of the european union they're not happy with the way that brussels dictates policies for the u.k. how much money the u.k. treasury forks out for the european commission every month and the fact that they've got such gains shows how fed up the british people are with the political status quo in this country because of course local elections have been taking place across the country and all traditionally seen as a gauge of how the current government is doing so we'll see verdicts in full. well
6:08 am
the pattern emerging is very clear the ruling coalition parties the conservatives and the liberal democrats have sustained losses in council seats quite significant ones in fact labor have made slight gains nothing to write home about this was really the night of u.k. independence party quite the count so far they looks like they've gained over a hundred council seats that's an average of over twenty six percent of the vote in the wards where they were represented in so overnight we've seen a real change to the british political landscape because there are now going to be ukip councillors all over the u.k. some might end up holding quite significant power and it's you know this is a party as i said it was seen as a very marginal until very recently it was the place none of the above parties a place where people launched their protest because they were so fed up with the established status quo that the lib dems the conservatives and the labor party. but
6:09 am
that has all changed overnight we've seen nigel farage the leader of the u.k. independence party appearing on television this morning saying he's delighted with the results so far that he's he says but it really shows that ukip is a long lost in political party that success hasn't been short and the chairman of the conservative party this morning had to concede that clearly that policy is failing to get their message across and they're going to have a think about what they can do to change that. alright he's probably boyko live from london poorly money thanks indeed. iraq could be undergoing once was a crisis since there was draw of u.s. soldiers at the end of twenty eleven the united nations says more than seven hundred people were killed in the country last month and more than sixteen hundred injured most of the deaths came in late april after the deadly clashes between
