are you on pro chose c. when rebels most likely have used a deadly nerve agent in this civil war confusing washington's own accusations the asaad regime had been the one resorting to illegal chemicals. the cotton bowl rate and dozens of young pulled form protesters behind bars for taking part in antigovernment violence and made claims the defendants confessed only under torture. from socialist i can to poor put in the polls economic despair drives tens of thousands of former supporters of friends who are long to turn bad backs on the french president.

news for russia and around the world this is our see with me your leadership of our thanks for joining us. your investigators say they have strong grounds to believe rebels in syria have used chemical weapons in the country's civil war while no evidence was found the government has ever released any deadly agents this flies in the face of washington's previous statement it was the assad regime which had apparently resorted to the illegal weapons trick and has the details now. you want human rights investigators say based on the evidence that they have the rebels in syria have used the nerve agent sorry this is a major development which comes at a time when the assad government is being accused of having used chemical weapons and so this investigation which says that in all likelihood the rebels have used chemical weapons challenges the narrative which is dominating in the media here and that if chemical weapons were used they were used by the assad government there has

been an intense build up of tension around the issue as president obama said the use of chemical weapons by the assad government would be a game changer although he did specify that the u.s. had no hard evidence to accuse the assad government of doing that now this geneva based u.n. investigation is believed to be separate from the investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons in syria in the middle of march forces and the rebels blame each other for that damascus has requested a u.n. mission to investigate the incident but the investigation is being stalled because in addition to investigating that specific incident the u.n. chief now demands access to all facilities in syria and there are concerns that this inquiry wants the u.n. into the center of a possible hunt for weapons of mass destruction where it faces the ghost of iraq the fear again is that politics may get ahead of facts german journalist and magazine editor. finds it hard to believe the opposition go to access to syria's

chemical arsenal but serve there are other ways for illegal arms to end up in rebel hands. i am very much for that exactly this theory that these chemical weapons will come out of the military components of the syrian army will be brought up especially also by the western powers i.d.p. doubt in this theory because the military compounds where the gas for example is stored are heavily guarded because the syrian government knows exactly what might happen if this gas is coming out somehow but we have to see something else we have to see that one of the most important players in the syrian conflict is turkey turkey used already chemical weapons and the benefits against the kurdish population and against the kurdish militia we shouldn't forget this in this context and turkey is right now supporting this so-called armed opposition which is in the reality of. a group of terrorists of mercenaries when i was myself in

syria last year it was in the battle of the muskets that already i don't see a big difference between the so-called f.s.a. and for example of the no cell front which is now fighting a lot of those specialists in syria and also it's almost. the revelations coming made an international scale more were israeli strikes inside syria and israel is beefing up its borders reportedly fearing retaliation after the planes bombed targets in the waltons state including a research facility close to the company damascus syrian officials say a missile batteries have been pointed at israel and according to unconfirmed reports they will be launched in case of a new strike video footage and eyewitness accounts suggest the attacks hit weapons dumps triggering a large explosion as serious as a number of people were killed and wounded i mean widespread destruction both the yuan and arab league up and down at that time and white house spokesman meanwhile said president obama feels and israel action would be justified if it targeted at

hezbollah threats such as weapons being shipped into lebanon but it is also use caution reports that tox could have a wider regional role. these strikes at a dangerous new dynamic to a region already in crisis with so many sides involved the situation is complicated well let's now have a closer look there has been three israeli strikes on syrian soil since january two of those just in the last three days much of the speculation suggests that the real target was actually has a lot in lebanon all of israel's recent attacks were allegedly targeting what happens for has militants israel has long warrant it once to prove than to storms getting into their hands and is prepared to use force has fallen members are helping bashar al assad fight the uprising against his rule and will stand by him that was confirmed by their leader has some natural i just this april so it's

likely that syria would be responding inclined well existence some way but there is a third player here fellow shia. and has a lot the big boy on the blog an israel. those are each anime iran now reports suggest that it was in the rain in shipment to has volokh that israel was told getting so it's possible that syria is just the middle man and it wouldn't be be young reason that around is equipping has a blog as a backup in case of conflict with israel israel with this provocation there will be for a response either from syria either from his block or better yet from the point of view of the obama to be in israel from iran so if you run in syria don't do anything for the moment just wait this will be seen as it is just a provocation but if there is you know the slightest bit of a response from either syria or iran that's the perfect brick text for

a lot. against syria iran is seen as the main thread by israel's government which is very nervous about its nuclear activities and in response to these airstrikes iran has already called on the whole region to stand against israel iran labeled the air strike as an act of aggression accusing israel of advancing its own interests by creating instability in the region with an unprovoked attack and the commander of the country's ground forces warn that iran is ready to provide logistics support and military training to help syria defend itself against israel so townshend's ass collate and the motives are for onlookers to guess at is launching missiles into syria actually part of israel's plan to contain iran. coming up place in the program america's gun divide comes into focus the farmer at

the firearm law the wrist serves its influence at the national rifle association convention with a vow to resist gun control laws to the bitter end. and bahraini court has sentenced a group of thirty one to government activists to fifteen years in prison for taking part in five bomb attacks against the police they suspect though now say they were tortured into making their confessions bahrain has been engulfed in a pro-reform project as being one of the first countries to be groped by the arab spring violence and twenty eleven sudan the opposition has been accusing the rulers of oppressing the protest movement and claiming western countries are trying to downplay the scale down rest mohamed al saffi who is an anti-government activists in bahrain explains was driven them to the edge because of the oil and behind because of the oil we bought from here only because of the palm of the strait that needs to be all the time to ensure that the floor for oil is not destructive

because we have an action base here in bahrain which the americans rely on as a spot to watch work over the region all of that have taken its toll on the view. that the capital you can install on the children that are being arrested from their schools on the women that are that are being tortured in prison all of that heads because of the spotless different human rights. next to the political wrongs in bahrain we don't really have any other choice but to force it the damage has been done my cousins are and my friends are jane and so for me it's the only if you can think for me to do is to help them again help me help me before. political analyst eric draitser thanks despite a big continuing quantum down precious in bahrain one burn out any time soon but the people of bahrain have been ruled by one single family of

a minority in the country so if you're talking about the vast majority of that country having lived in a state of disenfranchisement for their entire lives and they see and remember that bahrain was in many ways the the kernel at the very beginning of the arab spring and the struggle that has continued in bahrain since that early part of two thousand and eleven gets no attention in the western media primarily because as i say many people listening already know bahrain is a client of saudi arabia which is a client of the united states bahrain houses the u.s. fifth fleet bahrain is central to the u.s. imperial plans for the region and for that reason the democracy upsurge in bahrain has been marginalized while the fraudulent uprising in syria has been glorified this illustrates the hypocrisy of the united states and the hypocrisy of its policy in the region. and locates iraq as chair full france a socialist president and

a conclusion a one of the most intriguing plaintiff the parent says in recent history both of these stories and will. break. do we speak your language anything about the will or not of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you. a little turn a different angle this story. here. in the spanish to find out more visit i to allahabad.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm target market is a big picture. i mean your life from moscow welcome but it's a story for us here anniversary for french president francois hollande with tens of thousands of leftists marching through paris to denounce him the same people who just twelve months ago hailed him as a socialist hero according to polls along is now the most unpopular french leader

in recent history his tests are all cia reports now well know what has caused such a change of heart. oh. it was. i heard you heard the change was a year ago thousands of people had gathered at this very place to celebrate the victory of socialist president francois hollande but here on the thousands of people are again gathered but for a very different reason this time they're asking the president where are the changes that he had promised asked by the very same people who had voted left and put along didn't place recent polls show its popularity has plummeted to less than twenty five percent the biggest fall for any french president in the past fifty years but you know i thought it. let's you know land where your promises are come on where are they it's not just your it is not me and i've yet this is the

mission that from now on will be mine to give the european construction a dimension of growth employment and first priority you have france's hit record unemployment of three point two million people in march the biggest source of public anger it's also scratch hopes of cutting the budget deficit to three percent of g.d.p. by two thousand and thirteen and the european commission's most recent forecast shows france will be in recession until the end of the year the seventy five percent income tax on the super rich is also a no go after france's constitutional court overruled it on the very talk of it pushed french actor gerard depardieu to give up his citizenship for a law should one one promise along didn't that it's to keep is legalizing gay marriage pleasing supporters it also sparking fierce concentration in. people happy with gay marriage but it doesn't feed our families it doesn't give us

food there are realities that are good to say but there are also priorities priority is employment we need to eat it is ok just to is it to blame. if you're the. new president immediately. into the economy will have one anyway i just would like to hear your president which is not making that much. which is keeping some kid on which is not going to explain their imagined risk of being the no one has all. but. yeah yeah yeah. and the recipe this film. says is nonexistent he made this video during last year's presidential campaign to show the country's lack of choice. when you

listen to the media you'd think there were a lot of differences between the two but that's just on a superficial level on the most important things they agree do we need to intervene in another country to fight they will agree to intervening in other countries because the weapons lobby will always be behind a lot is well aware of his unpopularity but says he will weather this storm improve he can't keep his promises at the end of this five year term. he needs time fine we are here to tell him mr president time is up and you need to start changing things but others like these workers who recently closed steel plant in eastern france are not even whole full symbolically laid to rest are laws broken promises under a heading which reads the trail just are cilia r t paris and

let's go top story right now and get the perspective on this story from iran dawson a peace activist and journalist who has been writing extensively about the ongoing syrian crisis rind also not hello can you hear us now yes i hear you just fine all right let's take a ride said welcome to the program there's been a widespread opinion promoted by some major world powers that any chemical weapons use in syria will only ever be down to the assad regime are you surprised to hear it may have been the rebels using that as well. no i'm not surprised at all we actually heard this wolf cry before back in december there was a scare about chemical weapons and red lines being crossed and that turned out to be the terrorist mercenaries in syria and there was an israeli air strike following that in january so this is the exact same scenario. if it turns out to be true where would the rebels have called them from from your point of view well that

would be difficult to pin down because they have so many outside sources financing them and aiding them with weapons you have the gulf monarchs and the zionists themselves so probably not directly from the u.s. or israel because they like to have plausible deniability they probably went through guitar turkey but that's can be harder to pin down. which will be about the investigation based in geneva and this investigation is separate from the one launched by the un's own cheap so why are two different probes being carried out by the same body. you know the first party to call for you an investigation was the syrian government themselves that's how confident they were that the mercenaries had used chemical weapons and really when you look at it the u.s. and israel don't have a leg to stand on to be lecturing anybody about having or using chemical weapons. let's switch gears now and see where it was hit this weekend by a series of israeli airstrikes do you have any idea why that tonks took place

really self-defense that. of course not but it's hard to explain israel's actions you're not talking about a rational player it's not the first time israel struck inside of syria israel from time to time they invade gaza they'll attack syria they're trying to bolster their image in the middle east as and get the fear factor and deterrent for themselves but again israel claimed syria was shipping arms to hezbollah which they consider a terrorist group but once again israel cannot point the finger at anybody a lecture about aiding terrorists as is the israelis aiding the mercenaries in syria which is killed up to seventy thousand people so they make a big stink about chemical weapons possibly killing a dozen or so people why that's just a red line they're just fishing for a pretext they wanted to strike anyway in fact there's so many blank spaces in this story mostly because of voyaging questions about the strikes why is that do you think international bodies will move into a shot of the silence trying to g.

wells can be hard to tell israel is trying their fishing for escalation in the mercenaries are starting to lose the al qaeda and their suit fronts that they've been backing or losing the war and show you always see that western powers and this is all for israeli interest but you'll see them backing their mercenary groups just enough to keep the conflict going perpetual conflict there's no decisive battles but that's the whole point is the profit from it prevent any rival pipelines and destroy syria from within and could to pull israel phase just as that. they are too but they will israel as absolute immunity from international bodies because the us and canada back them up no matter what they do you're talking about a state that has open apartheid open ethnic cleansing in their colonizing racially colonizing palestine they have an embargo they shoot children at will their breaking over sixty un resolutions and nothing ever happens so israel felt very confident that they could go in on very flimsy pretext of chemical weapons bomb

whatever they want and get away with it. and also in peace activist and journalist who's been writing extensively on the ongoing say we're in crisis brian many thanks indeed thank you. the wreckage of a plane that crashed in the euros killing all thirteen on board has been found nearly a year after it went missing authorities had such thousands of kilometers about success but it turned out they didn't need to look so far afield which was in a swarm just a few kilometers from the airport with more now here's under home. it was a disaster that looked like it would never be solved this was the devastating scene three men stumbled across this week in the russian urals the remains of a plane that had gone missing nearly a year ago with the loss of thirteen lives normally the biplane was used to put out wildfires but on the night of jeannie levin last year it's believed the pilot took

it for a fatal joyride with twelve friends and relatives well he was one of three people who made the discovery and he is with us now this plane was missing for over a year how did you find it. we were approached on behalf of a group of hunters who had found a strange metallic structure out in the books not far from the city of surat although they suspected it to be the plane they were not sure the location was only four kilometers away from the nearest road but the journey was very difficult and it's no easy task trekking through the tiger when we got there it was obvious that the metallic object was indeed what was left of the plate and human remains were scattered all over and can you describe the scene of the crash was the plane badly damaged where the bodies. of the somalia of the plane itself went down at a very sharp angle and became half submerged in the bog the shock of the impact

stripped the plane's body of sheeting leaving behind only a skeletal airframe packed with human bones not one skeleton was intact we counted eleven skulls in various conditions some with evident burn marks others with multiple puncture wounds and why do you think the authorities were unable to find this airplane after all it crashed only eight kilometers from the airfield. the of course thought for most of the year the tiger in this area is simply impossible the plane crashed in the middle of a bog and with ice still present there it allowed us if barely to get to the. wreckage in the winter the snow is too deep in the summer the entire area becomes a bog that when the rescue was conducted in the summer rescuers simply couldn't reach the area and we saw the pass that they had left behind it turned out they had passed only about fifty meters from an area where the wreck could be seen while a criminal investigation has been reopened into the case and although

a large part of the mystery has been solved with the discovery of the wreckage how it took off without permission and why it plowed into nearby marshland remains unclear and to an answer to some other international news this hour extreme left away radicals are gathering in front of a courthouse or the german city of munich where the last surviving member of the national socialist underground terrorist cell is standing trial the so-called nazi bride is one of the few people from the group ever to face justice suspected of killing at least ten people between two thousand and two thousand and seven and right now you're watching live footage which is provided by r.t. is new video agency rockley head to rocky dot t.v. for the video that. hardline islam is demanding an anti blasphemy law befitting to plays have clashed with police in bangladesh leaving twenty two people dead and dozens injured security forces used rubber bullets to break up the riots in the capital dhaka terms of thousands of demonstrators running across the
