i mean very early. tonight quick to blame turkey detains nine suspects after the deadly car bombing of a town near the syrian border claiming they have contacts to syrian intelligence. and more the big stories of the week pakistan democratic elections marred by violence across the country with the former prime minister played nearly victory and already until the new government. more ballots than bullets in saturday's historic vote our team brings you the latest from outside of the parliamentary right here in. the us. popular president french leader francois hollande faces plummeting ratings as his first year in office comes to an end with your standards that employment in the nation.

would hear an r t h q just after eleven pm now this is the weekly roundup of the top stories of the last seven days and 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 he was quick to blame syrian intelligence for the attack that something damascus denies the area though is home to tens of thousands of refugees who fled the ongoing syrian conflict middle east correspondent paula 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 extremist 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 al nusra 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 the 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 it's about the. 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 the middle east correspondent paula sleeper there now turkey insists that it's got the evidence to prove that assad's government is linked to those attacks but the first arab middle east is

a build university jeremy so told me it could be the work of extremist groups or even turkey itself as he tries to convince the u.s. to get more involved with its neighbors. we know for a fact because the main islam is fighting group in syria has admitted it's that al qaeda in iraq and. in syria are one and 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 stops and so what we're saying now is kind of charge and countercharge. as people try to put the blame for this on to someone else my kind of my feeling about this kind of guess would be that the party responsible for this one of the groups because of anyone has a reason for trying to heat up the situation and dragging out. countries it would be them the fact is that the third one is going to washington this week and syria

will be on top of the agenda and my feeling is that the take you won't do anything by itself that if obama won't bite if he won't commit america to taking a more involved over syria i don't think that turkey will do anything the issue here is what kind of evidence are they going to come up with will they 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 of course everything is going to depend on the outcome of the talks in washington but you know obama won forty six dead hundreds injured awful story last week now who do you think was behind the bombings because we don't know yet but we want to know your thoughts. maybe we'll never know but forty seven percent of you think it was the syrian opposition thirty five percent. thirty five percent of you think force intervention think nine percent government it nine percent you don't know extremists you can put a finger on it with no motive. so plenty

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 they have to choose their new future now hardly anyone expected after all of these. 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 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 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. 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 something of a peaceful solution. here if you ask a correspondent there now he was toppled he was jailed exiled but now now is sharif looks said to return to power after claiming an early victory in pakistan's general election the vote was a first indeed in which a civilian government after serving its full term will hand power over to another

democratically elected government threats by the taliban to disrupt the poll were borne out by attacks across the land that killed twenty four people caffein off reports. 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 of the very top is not was sharif 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 will be 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 has already 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 has 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

caracas new voting will be held at 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 up. david on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm lucy kalf and you're following those results as a continue to come in of the hours and days now now as sharif's are ready begun talks on forming a new government to rule the country and self described as a mess he faces an uphill struggle to revive the economy to root out corruption and restore the crumbling infrastructure but policy director just foreign policy org says he will also try to rein in american influence in pakistan to pose shereen and plans to delete the premier results came in first and second said they were going to redefine pakistan publishing the united states on the utilities among other issues and the ruling obviously say they're not happy with the status quo but the real issue here seats is the perception of subservience. eternity tremendously

unpopular drone strikes i think we're going to see change in that direction. surely if we're honest the main opposition party. is expected to be negotiating with the i.m.f. the monetary fund which. is. very significant pulls the most powerful country in the early ship between the two countries militaries run continue but i think we'll see a less heavy here in the eight states and pakistan. much more ahead for you including first. three quarters of the french population is so happy with the president they swept to victory just a year ago. just a couple of stories just a couple of minutes away. and

week you'll know that russia through some spectacular celebrations this last week marking victory day sixty eight years since nazi germany was defeated moscow was the scene of the biggest events among thousands across the country the traditional parade on red square featured eleven thousand troops military hardware and fighter jets big spectacle as ever the day was about gulf of massive follower displays from fourteen different locations around the capital dozens of precisely time burial designs paid a moscow night sky nice bit of weather for two it was during that spectacular show if you didn't see it then you'd like to check it out nice thing to watch at r.t. dot com just a click away. now worth checking out the web site as well right now two reports say the u.k. has been spying opposition activists in bahrain gathering data from social media accounts and e-mails at a web site to find out why the west has been put under the microscope right now all

the thoughts there are about it tonight you have a comment as well you'll say plus two red tape gets the better of norway norwegian mass murderer anders breivik who wanted to start a fascist organization but his prison occasions been turned down because of a clerical error more. violent clashes erupted in bangladesh this week when thousands of hardline islamist took to the city's streets around the country police sit back with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon the country's islam is a calling for laws against blasphemers and the death penalty for atheist bloggers who calls out quietly this year the government so far refused to give in to the demands which portability day is a campaigner against war crimes who says the extremists are been conspiring against the secular state the decades now. delivering some to the really secular identity of the ship and over the last fall in two years that they have next you can. fire gains today ito's of a secular state and they are trying to convert it to another state like pakistan

trying to make the side of the government state by creating anarchy and whatever you are seeing is actually the result of all these attempts they have been trying they've been organizing for the last forty years some of the major political parties including the main opposition party has been supporting him. ok but with more news again inhofe now it's time for moscow between now and then we look back at the wave of famine that ravaged the horn of africa back in twenty eleven it put millions on the brink of starvation has come up with a couple of minutes with you. you know i've been asked a few times if i believe in conspiracy theories which is kind of an odd question i mean just in general believe in conspiracy theories like all of them even the ones

that contradict each other i mean j.f.k. could have been killed by the mob the cia the k.g.b. and very secret societies at the same time or could he have been know what you just declare themselves official conspiracy theories that's silly obviously it isn't good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing but on the other hand if you never question what the glowing box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker a kind of sucker who bought that they were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt in one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it spirity theories are a matter of belief but actually they're completely a matter of facts and there's a lot of good evidence to support a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a rip tell him from the cosmos yeah you might want to just stay away from that one

but that's just my opinion. six six six six. zero and. the beginning at.
