the top story smart news review of the week quick to blame turkey did tell us nine suspects after the deadly car bombing of the syrian border claiming they have contacts to syrian intelligence we follow that up. also this week pakistan milestone democratic elections marred by violence across the country with the former prime minister. already in talks on the new government. but more. storage votes are latest from outside of the parliament right here in islamabad. the president. faces plummeting ratings this is the first year in office comes to an end with austerity and unemployment the nation.

watching the weekly a roundup of the top stories of the last seven days here from moscow and the first turkish authorities have detained nine people in connection with saturday's deadly car bombings in the town near the syrian border to blast killed forty six and injured over one hundred now turkey was quick to blame syrian intelligence for the attack that something damascus is denying the area's home to tens of thousands of refugees who've fled the ongoing syrian conflict middle east correspondent paula slee has the latest. 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 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 these radical elements are setting up their own infrastructure and there are many groups among them such as the mr front and the salafist who'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 three quarters that they have taken over they have set up courts for example that are manned by lawyers and judges they've set up schools they say so that they. no vacuum in the administration and public institutions so you certainly do have this very worrying phenomena that there is a large number of extremist elements that are operating particularly along the turkish syrian border. while on our web poll that today we're asking who you think is behind this double bombing in turkey this is what you're telling us thank you

for taking part if you have so far as down a percent this was forty five no forty four you think the syrian opposition did it thirty five percent of you think it was turkey to force syrian intervention but a guest on last night saying that very same thing eleven percent of you say it was the assad government behind it ten percent as you can see extremists with no motive you're open minded on a r.t. dot com so plenty of time to have your say. download the official r.t. application yourself choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorite. if you're away from your television well it just doesn't matter now with your mobile device you can watch on t.v. anytime anywhere. meanwhile international peace efforts to resolve the syrian conflict seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough russia's received backing from the u.s. and the u.k.

for a syria conference tentatively scheduled for the end of the month however washington and london are still considering arming the syrian rebels at the same time when the e.u. arms embargo up for renewal in just over a fortnight. brings us up to speed on the. 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 principled 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. 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 to have to choose their new future hardly anyone expected

after all of these. between the u.s. state secretary john kerry and the russian president and the russian foreign minister in moscow would produce something positive never the less international conference which is to be called by the end of this month was the direct result of the meeting in moscow that a conference is expected 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 and 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 u.s. congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary 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. the british prime minister david cameron came to the city of. russia. and 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 passing 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. next he was toppled

jailed and then exiled but no now is sharif looks said 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 that will have 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 details of marty's loose account from. 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 of the very top is not and his 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 cold 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

stands u.s. backed government which it sees as quote on the islamic now there were also some allegations of voting irregularities and problems in certain areas mainly in karate new voting will be held in forty two polling centers where officials said elections are free and fair overall however a successful largely successful election here in pakistan will of course keep you updated on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm. and know sharif's really begun talking about forming a new government one of his main challenges is going to be to talk to the taliban as he pledged during his campaign but this could be met with resistance from the military that lost thousands of troops fighting the insurgency one former major in the pakistani army believes when america leaves neighboring afghanistan all hell could break loose in the region. there is no national party no in the lead and all four provinces led by horses want to go in different directions so i think the

election is a. grim and brave step towards the balcony vision of pakistan now the whole game is turned against the military because the same irregulars are attacking the military and the military is in deep trouble one third is presently not big vast the americans. busiest like the situation in china in nineteen thirty nine when you know the common tongue and the communist party the main fight against the chinese. and i'm going to stress maybe some part of the taliban the afghan taliban ninety percent of the taliban fighting and i want to stand on a box i'm sponsored maybe the right piece of pakistani state but in the long run when the americans liberal all the taliban frictions will combine and they're going to play head with the pakistani state. stories head to including first. later on i'll see funds whites three quarters of the french population so unhappy with the president they swept to victory just

a year ago and violence boils over in bangladesh two of the demands for penalties for blasphemy is a lot more after the break. we

speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the ip interviews intriguing story for you if you. still think. visit. bring you more top stories. on the turkish border with. an associate professor of middle eastern history and politics. thanks for being with us why did the turkish government label the syrian government quote usual suspects in the bombings before the investigation even started well the government claims it's a rested people and it claims to have evidence that they connected with the syrian

intelligence service we haven't seen that evidence yet we'll have to wait to see what it says at this stage would seem to be quite inconceivable that syria would do that because if you look at what's happening on the ground right now the syrian army is rolling back the insurgency insurgents have taken tremendous losses in the last few months in particular around damascus near the lebanese border and even around. aleppo and in the north of syria along with this is the fact that the americans are changing pace and are going to into negotiations with russia to come out with a negotiated solution so it doesn't make any sense to sort of the do this right now just now there are counter claims as well just a few hours ago syria's information minister said that. responsible for this the happening already by playing quote a dangerous game without. we know for a fact because because the main is the most fighting group in syria has admitted

it's that. rock and. in syria one in the same and all the fighting groups in syria and they're all working tactically with so al qaeda is in syria we know that that's not confirmed the smallest been suspected. and so what we're saying. kind of charge and countercharge. as people try to put the blame for this onto someone else. my feeling about this obvious kind of guess would be that the party responsible for this is one of the groups because of anyone has a reason for trying to heat up the situation and drag an outside countries it would be them there are very serious problems right now where turkey fits in with this is interior minister urge the international community quote it to get involved against syrian president assad sure that undermines the peace efforts that we've just seen from russia. that the whole point is they are deeply involved there's been deeply involved for more than two years and they have succeeded there which is. through

the syrian government to bring it down and so this so kind of chanting the same refrain but there's actually no possibility that the syrian government can be brought down without direct intervention. outside governments and the emphasis. takes where the emphasis which should be which is on the syrian army because the syrian army is fighting this is a national project and the foot soldiers in the syrian army are mainly sunni muslims and so the they have a national spirit and this kind of constant refrain trying that outside government should do more should send in more. are only going to worsen the situation and what we clearly need is progress towards a negotiated solution which is the path of bombers taking and i think everything we've seen in the last couple of weeks the chemical weapons propaganda plus the israeli attacks that i don't think. to be drawn into this. yes you got a minute a couple things i wanted to ask you going to do now it says here take every kind of

measure needed was. it right now it doesn't mean one has to take it seriously but the fact is that the earth is going to washington this week and syria will be on top of the agenda and my feeling is that the turkey won't do anything by itself that it. but if he won't commit america to take. over syria i don't think that turkey will do anything now the key issue here is what kind of evidence are they going to come up with. come up with any evidence that's going to convince us that this in fact was an action carried out by the syrian intelligence service so there's a many many unknowns right now and everything's going to depend on the outcome of the talks in washington but you know obama and. germany have ever so much shit time associate professor of history middle east politics ability university thank you thanks very much. senator from the french president francois facing one of the worst poll ratings in modern history and that's just

a year since his jubilant victory in the election of course we'll remember three quarters of the population now disappointed with the way he's been doing the top job and finding out why i was there was there. i heard you i heard you will change. 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 their 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. i thought it was. i let you know where your promises are come on where are they is said i'm sure it is not me and i'm 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. to give up his citizenship for a law should one one promise a law and it didn't that it's to keep is legalizing gay marriage pleasing supporters it also sparking fierce concentration. i think of all the. things people are 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 a 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 one hundred 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 that you know there imagine received no one hundred four. 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. they quickly made. in the memo that 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 it 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. that 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 were recently closed steel plant of eastern france are not even hopeful symbolically laid to rest a lot of broken promises under a heading which reads the trail. does are cilia r.t. paris struggling to fix is preventing popularity then president promised to put his

ministers into pressure and possibly reshuffle his cabinet he's also pleaded for more time for reforms to take hold french journalists in california says all i was just the wrong man though for the job. is a bit of a president by mistake nobody expected him to be president a few months before the election and there are doubts on the stage sure i was a statesman but the main problem remains jobs and the processing power on the economy i think people really see now are they after the processing power eroding and jobs becoming fewer and fewer more unemployed and the people who have jobs feel that every day their job is the biggest struggle and the biggest stress to keep it in to reach to our video objectives i think there's a pretty general ace feeling apart from a few three village people that things are getting really tough for everybody day after day in france today. and while unemployment frustration is

growing in france across the channel the brits are feeling the pinch too but not the queen she's getting a five million pound pay rise while the nation pays the brunt of austerity to find out why in just a few minutes. more of the top stories in the last week now russia has been throwing some spectacular celebrations in the last week marking victory day it was sixty eight years since nazi germany was defeated moscow is the scene of the biggest events among thousands across the country the traditional parade on red square featured unleavened thousand troops military hardware and fighter jets that day was rounded off with massive firework displays in fourteen different locations around the capital dozens of precisely times aerial designs appeared in moscow's night sky during the spectacular show you can enjoy to just take away about dot com. i. somewhat world news making headlines right now coal mine blast has claimed

pakistan trying to make peace and the government state it but creating anarchy and whatever you are seeing is actually the result of all these terms they have been trying. for the last forty years some of the major political parties including the main opposition party has been supporting. as an employment cuts bite in the u.k. british taxpayers will now also have to cough up for another five million pounds for their queen the carrier her official duties because of his party boy found out the royal pay hike comes as the majesty promises to stick to austerity in around your speech lot of the government's legislative program. my minister's first priority will be to reduce the deficit and restore economic stability at the same time the creed 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 footman cost an estimated ten million pounds

a year thirty six million is divided into money which runs the royal household of the queen and the duke of edinburgh most of it goes on salaries also on the upkeep of royal palaces such as buckingham palace and 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 montacute the queen of ages seven and a consul 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 of being the queen gets this big pay rise

and i think it's very unfair given that she is personally one of the wealthiest people in britain where the personal wealth of an excess of three hundred million pounds the royal family has over seven hundred servants six palaces they can quite clearly afford 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 at buckingham palace the groovin 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. in subjects' last month the guardian poll found that eighty eight percent of brits were happy with the pay rise think this should give more to the poor not to get too much money the future of not overly impressed to be honestly i'm sure she's got more than enough money to survive in wishing a scare crow she brings in quite a bit on the toys some whatever but where does it go where where does it go the

people that i miss because i work for a macand where can you know they're being cut where does it our progress go running elsewhere in europe royals have had to raid best 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 and then the the horses with wide alongside the fronts of carriages the published figures suggest that the royal family the queen and everybody else tosses 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 lost to the sticker because she and prince

charles in particular get lots of tax 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. r.t. london just ahead to find out why thousands of portuguese are heading for the exit and how you could end up in jail if you're too poor to pay your debts in the united states we're covering those stories just a minute or so from now. and realized.

of ohio thousands of citizens are illegally being locked behind bars because they are too poor to pay their debt and we saw some really troubling numbers one case that we looked at out of mansfield ohio there was a gentleman and his crime against the community was he let his dog walk in his mobile home park without a leash he was fined thirty dollars and he ended up being found in contempt of court and was sent to jail for not paying for a thirty dollars fine i'm open to what we're doing is going to change that fifty five year old jack dolly was incarcerated three times for failing to pay nine hundred dollars in fines every ninety days you had a jail date. and if you weren't working well you're going to jail. i didn't have a problem while i was working preying on my clients that they set me up on a payment program which was reasonable for me but upon losing my job i had no

the going down of the sun and good morning we will remember that we will. cover the end of. the. the consensus. the opinions that you think are great. the story is good in the. sense. well first of all thank you very much for joining us here on out thank you for coming in two thousand and twelve and the mountainous year for greece and for the euro zone your country managed to keep the your and fears of the country's immediate bankruptcy have receded is greece over the worst of it greece is over the

worst of it but it's not over yet we still have things to do our first but our government came to power in june and the climate was a very very negative i would say we were was practically out of the good but we managed to win the first battle the battle for the euro zone now is the second battle the battle against unemployment. because employment in greece has risen to levels nobody could imagine twenty seven percent among all of creation sixty percent among young people. because in the beginning it was only austerity austerity and nothing else. that

didn't work that's why we have the fourth to get a recession that's why unemployment rose to those levels now. the new program has. policies full development and these tools we are using them to create jobs in any case the greek economy desperately needs new clean money clean i mean by loans and this can be achieved and two ways. by. exports of venting our exports and by attracting investments in both of these ways russia is an ideal partner and that's the reason that here in russia we present that for the first. the new investment law in greece this tell us a little bit more about that investment. well i'll tell you two things that are

quite significant on the high level. we have the fast track procedure high level i mean big investments we have the height of the fast track procedure which is the means that practically whoever invests more than fifty million euros in greece or well we will take the investor by the hand and guide him to the fulfilment of his investment we have made certain procedures that for example or permissions all necessary permissions will be by one service they won't have to go through this matter of labyrinth of service to service to get permissions this bureaucratic. it's an easier procedure were battling bureaucracy were simplifying things something else in the low level something that they believe will be attractive an attractive idea for many russians is that we will have any russian

that buys a house in greece. up above a certain level which i believe will be around two hundred thousand euros he and his family have. a visa five year visa will which will be renewed if he keeps the house well as i can see greece is moving towards. closer. stronger relations with russia but not everybody's happy we know that greece expected to raise fifty billion euros in privatization among other things as sallie natural gas assets and there are media reports suggesting that u.s. and european authorities are advising greek authorities know not to sell it to those sort of things we are going to do carry on the procedure as it has been planned.
