quick to blame turkey detains nine suspects following the deadly car bombing of a town near the syrian border claiming to have contacts to syrian intelligence. also the. pakistan's milestone democratic election is marred by violence across the country with a former prime minister claiming early victory. but more ballots than bullets in saturday's historic vote r t brings you the latest from outside of the parliament right here in islamabad. and a popular president french leader francoise long faces plummeting ratings as his first year in office comes to an end with a steady and unemployment and golfing the nation.

it is six pm in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program the turkish authorities have detained nine people in connection with saturday's deadly car bombings in a town near the syrian border to blast killed forty six and injured over one hundred turkey was quick to blame syrian intelligence for the attack something that damascus denies the area's home to tens of thousands of refugees who have fled their own going syrian conflict our middle east correspondent post lear has more. turkey has blamed the syrian president bashar assad for these bombings without having undergone any kind of investigation what they have said is that syrian intelligence is to quote them the usual suspects now the deputy turkish prime minister says that the organization and the members behind the attacks have been largely identified but what is worrying is that this does say it's a bad precedent to merely blame assad right away without giving any kind of proof

or any kind of conclusive evidence as to why you say that nine people have been detained all of them are turkish citizens according to the turkish deputy prime minister and he has stressed that there be no links to the syrian opposition previously three of the five suspects arrested after the bombings were said to have been the syrian nationals so it has denied that they are behind the attacks the syrian government issued a statement in which it said that we are saddened by the fall of martyrs in turkey yesterday in one way or another the turkish people are syrian brothers the turkish prime minister has said that the attack could also be linked to the peace process with the kurds and they of course have for a long time been at odds with the government the north of syria is the region bordering turkey and that's where extremists opposition groups are particularly active what is unclear as of yet is how many of them could have in fact crossed over into turkey now the city where the explosion occurred has received tens of

thousands of refugees and it is possible that some of them are radical elements there's no proof to say that they are there is no proof to say that they are not of these radical elements are setting up their own infrastructure and there are many groups among them such as the of mr front and the salafist if you've already done so we have been receiving reports that in aleppo for example there are reportedly some twenty rebel brigades operating and they've set up the machinery of government and justice in the courts is that they have taken over they've set up courts for example that are manned by lawyers and judges they've set up schools they say it's about their. no vacuum in the administration and public institutions so you certainly do have this very warning phenomena that there is a large number of extremist elements that operating in particular any along the seven border as i've just heard turkey's devotee prime minister stressed that the detain suspects have no connection to the syrian opposition but foreign policy analysts dr khan holland believes the attack appears to bear all the hallmarks of

al qaida linked extremists you have to enhance with the onset of government. be stupid enough to pick an open fight with a country on its border that has the second largest army in in the north atlantic treaty organization i don't see the sense in that i mean it would suggest at the onset of that regime it has a suicide complex and they haven't demonstrated any any of that in the past the timing is certainly very suspicious you know a couple of weeks ago the syrians were used of using poison gas and then call it a party from the united nations sic recently that it appears as if that was the insurgency didn't use poison gas certainly wasn't gas disappears then this bombing happens car bombs are the particular signature device that are

used by their some of fish very extreme islamist rebels in syria so i would be very careful about clinton figures that this is going many people want that disavowal war have the potential to spill over into other areas of the middle east that prediction is coming very true. meanwhile international peace have to resolve the syrian conflict seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough russia's receive backing from the u.s. and the u.k. for a syria conference terribly scared out of this months however washington and london are still considering arming the syrian rebels with an arms embargo for renewal in just over two weeks. he has more after months of fiery exchanges on the syrian conflict the major international players russia the united kingdom and the united states have managed to find a common ground principle position has been that it accused the west of supporting only one side of the syrian conflict that is the side of the syrian rebels moreover

russia has been particularly concerned with the calls across the atlantic to arm the syrian rebels to provide them with military training and even possibly intervene into the conflict by force also russia was particularly concerned with statements in the western countries that bashar assad must step down at the same time the western world has never been saying that it's the syrian people that have to choose their new government they have to choose their new future now hardly anyone expected after all months of these of this rhetoric that a meeting between the u.s. state secretary john kerry and the russian president and the russian foreign minister in moscow would produce something positive nevertheless international conference which is to be called by the end of this month that was the direct result of the meeting in moscow that. to have both the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table at the same time a press conference between the russian foreign minister lavrov john kerry took an

interesting twist when a reporter asked about the bill to support the syrian rebels with weaponry which is now being considered by the us congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary it was that if the united states finds substantial proof that chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't yet been proven of course then this bill will ultimately become reality which many experts have already described this as a certain leeway for the united states to still have a certain leverage in the syrian conflict now also on friday the british prime minister david cameron came to the city of. the biggest intrigue of that meeting was whether david cameron would sing to the same tune as john kerry did in moscow it's no secret that we have had differing views on how best to handle the situation but we share fundamental aims to end the conflict to stop syria fragmenting to let

the syrian people choose who governs them and to prevent the growth of violent extremism so i strongly support the conference that mr lavrov for mr kerry agreed this week to deliver a political solution a solution which has a transitional government based on the consent of the syrian people as a whole so clearly the events of the of this week have given us a clear indication that there may be interesting things to come in terms of the syrian conflict and this conference can actually produce something of a peaceful solution. now he was toppled jailed and then exiled but now in a washer to return to power after claiming an early victory in pakistan's general election the vote was the first in which a civilian government after serving its full term now will hand power to another democratically elected government threats by the taliban to disrupt the poll were borne out by attacks across the land that killed at least twenty four people the details now from marty's lucic often a. despite the threat of violence pakistanis came out in record numbers to vote in

the election which will determine the fate of the country for the next five years and as the votes are counted the man poised to come out at the very top is not was sharif and his pm well and party fourteen years after being ousted in a military coup he is on the road to a third term as pakistan's prime minister will have numerous problems to deal with from chronic power cuts to a taliban insurgency he pushing for create free market economic policies and further strain ties with the united states but the vote has also crushed the hopes of millions of pakistanis who want to see real change in the entrenched political system they were counting on cricket legend imran khan and his party he had rallied massive support here in the country with calls to end corruption and to end u.s. drone strikes especially among young voters but it wasn't enough to put him at the top still a significant victory for his party now the pakistan people's party which form the outgoing government took a beating in the polls paying

a price for being seen as failing to tackle corruption unemployment and violence while in power of course this in many ways is a historic election it's the first time a democratically elected government is replaced with another the first time that a staggering sixty percent of voters turned out but also on a darker note the first election to go down as the bloodiest in pakistan's history now a string of bomb blasts disrupted election day killing dozens of people the violence came on the heels of a bloody intimidation campaign by the pakistani taliban which is claimed one hundred thirty lives leading up to the vote the group is fighting to topple poppy stone's u.s. backed government which it sees as quote on the islamic another war also some allegations of voting irregularities and problems in certain areas mainly in. held at forty two polling centers where officials said elections were not free and fair overall however a successful largely successful election here in pakistan will of course keep you

he made this video during last year's presidential campaign to show the country's lack of choice. in the memo the feel when you listen to the media you'd think there were a lot of differences between the two that's just on a superficial level on the most important things they agree with 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 and prove he can keep his promises at the end of this five year term don't want all that he needs time fine we are here to tell him mr president the time is up you know need to start changing topics but others like these workers from a recently closed steel plant of eastern france are not even hopeful symbolically laid to rest a lot of broken promises under

a closer look at what is left i mean architect of presidential policy. as unemployment and cuts bite in the u.k. british taxpayers will now also have to cough up for any other five million pounds for their queen to carry out her official duties as artie's party boy who now reports the wall pay hike comes as her majesty promises to stick to stere in her annual speech outlining the government's legislative program. my ministers first priority will be to reduce the deficit and restore economic stability at the same time the creek is set to get a five billion pound pay rise this year thirty six point one million pounds from the u.k. taxpayer will go towards the queen and her residence says her royal chefs and cost an estimated ten million pounds a year thirty six million is divided into money which runs on. well

household the queen and the duke of edinburgh most of it goes on salaries also on the upkeep palaces such as buckingham palace windsor castle and all royal trouble at home and abroad the british monarchy has become synonymous with the image of britain because it is the world's most high profile maliki the queen of ages seven and the duke of edinburgh at ninety one all remarkable examples of public service and of national unity but the cost to the public purse rises steadily as austerity sets in the five million pound increase in the queen's expenses from the states represents a fifteen percent rise vital services are being lost while the queen gets this big pay rise i think it's very unfair given that she is personally one of the wealthiest people in britain where the personal wealth of in excess of three

hundred million pounds the royal family has over seven hundred servants six palaces quite clearly a for themselves to cover any increased costs they shouldn't be begging for the state it's a royal spectacle such as the daily changing of the guards that buckingham palace the grooves are terrorists from around the globe but in these times of austerity some of beginning to question why the windsors haven't tighten their belts along with the rest of the queen's subjects last month the guardian poll found that eighty eight percent of brits weren't happy with the pay rise to give more to the poor not to get too much money to be sure not overly impressed to be honest i'm sure she's got more than enough money to survive. ok she brings in quite a bit on the toys someone ever read to see where. people i miss because i'm a parent you know they're being coy. well where does it our progress given romani

elsewhere in europe royals have had to rein in their spending in the face of public opinion the spanish royal family's budget has been reduced for a third year in a row the british monarchy actually stands out around the world it's completely different to almost every other molecule that you can think of in the sense that they are still surrounded by so much home and circumstance of all the marching bands in the the the horses the wide alongside the fronts of carriages the published figures suggest that the royal family the queen and everybody else process around something close to forty million pounds a year but doesn't take into account all the extra security all the police work for that that's involved in protecting her and the rest of the world family and it doesn't take into account the money that's lost to the sticker because she and prince charles in particular get lots of tact privileges that the rest of us aren't entitle to and while the government has pushed through budget cuts to the national

health service and slashed welfare as part of an unprecedented austerity drive there are those that say that prime minister david cameron's promise that britain is all in it together doesn't include the queen of england. and up next we'll look back at the wave of famine the ravages the horn of africa back in two thousand and eleven and to put millions on the brink of starvation.
