tonight quick to blame turkey detains nine suspects following the deadly car bombing of a town near the syrian border claiming they have contacts to syrian intelligence. the big stories of the week pakistan's milestone democratic election violence across the country the former prime minister claiming victory and already in talks on the new government 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. plus an unpopular president french leader faces plummeting ratings as his first year in office comes to an end with austerity and unemployment engulfing the nation.

over the morning is kevin owen here at r t h q this morning you're watching the weekly a roundup of the big stories of the week for the last seven days and turkish authorities have detained nine people as i just mentioned in connection with saturday's deadly car bombings in that 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 something that damascus is denying the area is home now to tens of thousands of refugees who fled the ongoing syrian conflict or middle east correspondent paula sleep with 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 difficulty 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 not 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 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 already elements there's no proof to say that they are there is no proof to say that they are not these radical elements all setting up their own infrastructure and there are many groups among them such as be mistrust front and the salafist if you've already done so we have been receiving reports that in aleppo for example there are reports of these some twenty rebel brigades operating and they've set up the machinery of government and justice in the quilter's 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 so that there's no vacuum in the administration and public institutions so you certainly do have this very worrying phenomena that there is a launch a number of extremist elements that operating particularly along the turkish syrian border. they will turkey insists that it has the evidence to prove that assad's government is linked to those attacks but professor middle east. told me he thinks

it could be the work of extremist groups or even turkey itself as it tries to convince the us to get more involved. we know for a fact because the main is the us fighting group in syria has admitted it's that al qaeda in iraq and. in syria are 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 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 feeling about this kind of guess would be that the party responsible that is one of the groups because of anyone has a reason for trying to heat up the situation and dragon. countries it would be them 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 he won't do anything but that. if he won't commit america to taking a more involved over syria i don't think that turkey will do anything on 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 everything's going to depend on the outcome of the talks in washington but you know obama and. so who do you think could have been behind this double car bombing in the turkish town thanks for taking part in our web vote if you have already tonight still open for you by the way if you want to. that's the question we're asking as you can see that's the giving is forty seven percent of you think it was syrian opposition thirty five percent think it was turkey for syria to intervene another option. to force or intervention rather nine percent of you think of this government number nine percent of you pretty much last out you're not sure things extremists with no motives are to dot com is the place

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. into the conflict by force also. with the 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 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 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 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 past 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 next he was toppled he was jailed then exiled now and now as sharif looks set 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 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 who see reports for r.t. . 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 a refund 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 stone's 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 caracas new voting will be 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 we will of course keep you updated on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm lucy. well know sharif's already begun talks on forming a new government one of his main challenges will be to talk to the taliban is a pledge she would during his campaign but this could be met with resistance to from the military that lost thousands of troops fighting the insurgency of all a major in the pakistani army believes what 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 forces want to go in different directions so i think the election is a. grim and brave step towards the bell commission of pakistan oh the whole game is turned against the military because the same they're going to do that attacking the military and the military is in deep trouble followed one third is presently not

big but most of the americans will draw it's going to accelerate between a strike to the situation in china in nineteen thirty nine when you know the common tongue and the communist party combine the fight against the chinese. under the stress maybe with some part of taliban the afghan taliban ninety percent of the taliban fighting in afghanistan or pakistan sponsored maybe the piece of pakistani state but in the long run when the americans with all the taliban frictions will combine and they're going to play hell with the pakistani state. coming up first term failure later on out say we have found it was from courses the french population is so on happy right with the president they swept to victory only a year ago. falls over in bangladesh with the demands for tougher penalties for blasphemous that's coming up to right after the break.

the civilized world produces more food than it needs. while people die of hunger in other countries. millions of victims every year. where a meal is the most trace. is flood or drought to blame. it was a bad year for the train. we couldn't find anything. well. there was great hunger. the bill comes too late and with no good intentions. charity diplomacy and business.

again french president francois hollande is facing one of the worst poll ratings of modern history and that's just a year on since his jubilant victory in the election three quarters of the population and i'm disappointed with the ways we do the top job. went to find out why. the budget was able to. 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 the president where are the changes that he had promised asked by the very same people with voted left and put

along didn't place recent polls show his popularity has plummeted to less than twenty five percent the biggest push for any president in the past fifty years but . i thought it was. i'll let you know where your promises are come on where are they is said i'm sure he does not mean that 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 prosperity 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 for us 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 to did manage to keep is legalizing gay marriage these are supporters it also sparking fierce consultation. the way it was 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 are also priorities the priority is employment we need to eat it is obvious 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 you that's not your problem which is good because i keep on

which is not going to explain that you know they're the magic recipient of no one hundred fifty four. yeah yeah yeah. a magic 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 they feel when you listen to the media you 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 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 you know need to start changing topics but others like these workers who were recently closed steel plant of mr flowers are not even hopeful symbolically laid to rest a lot of broken promises under a heading which reads the trail. does our sylvia r.t. paris so struggling to fix is plummeting popularity president alarms promise to put his ministers in the pressure and possibly reshuffle his cabinet he's also pleaded for more time for forms to take old french journalist skin color for says it's just the wrong man for the job there. 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 here as a statesman but the main problem remains jobs and purchasing power on the economy i think people really see now are they after the processing pull 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 job objectives i think there's a pretty general ace feeling apart from a few three village shielded 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 brits are feeling the pinch too but a quaint he's getting a five million pound pay rise while the nation bears the brunt of the austerity we find out more about that surely. and stay on the subject of hysterics the crowds are out on the streets of madrid in a fresh protest march against austerity the demonstrations been inspired by the so-called fifteen and movement launched two years ago to battle the financial turmoil and the way i thought he's handling these are the scenes from madrid just a couple of hours ago at the results of call themselves the spanish revolution the

trying to turn the tide of the mounting budget cuts and soaring unemployment. well world news now coal mine blast has claimed at least seven lives in southwest china emergency services were able to save the other eighty one trapped inside although one man later died of his injuries and in another incident another twelve miners were earlier killed in an explosion in the neighboring province as china's mines remain among the most dangerous in the world. the pay's announced it's pulling some workers from its operations in libya over mounting security concerns in the country now according to the company the following british foreign office advice the u.k. and the us of also withdraw non-essential diplomatic staff over the last two days it comes as two police stations were bombed in benghazi. russia's been throwing some spectacular celebrations this last week marking victory day sixty eight years since nazi germany was defeated moscow was indeed 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 there was

rounded off with massive firework displays from forty different locations around the capital dozens of precisely timed the aerial designs appeared in moscow's night sky during that spectacular show if you didn't catch it we invite you to check it again in a website out. to britain now is unemployment and cuts bite in the u.k. british taxpayers will now also have to cough up another five million pounds for the queen to carry out her official duties but the royal pay hike has artie's police reports comes in contrast her majesty's announcement that britain will continue on its path of a stereotype in around you all speech that outlined the government's plans for the coming year. 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 almost 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 are 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 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 baking for the state it's a royal spectacle such as the daily changing of the guards at buckingham palace the drugs are terrorists from around the globe but in these times of austerity some of beginning to question why the women says haven't tighten their belts allotment. west of the queen's 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 rich are not overly impressed to be honest i'm

sure she's got more than enough money to survive when she named scarecrows 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 caring. they're being kept well where does it our progress with no money 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 monetary 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 the the the horses that 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 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 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. violent clashes erupted in bangladesh this week when thousands of hardline islamist of the streets in the city around the country police have brought with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannons the country's calling for laws against blast famous and the death penalty for a theist bloggers of course cry a little cheer the government so far refused to give in to the demands spoke to a cease campaigner against war crimes he says the extremists have been conspiring against the secular state for decades. that they really are the secular identity of

bangladesh and over the last fall in two years that they have been actually conspiring against ito's of a secular state and they are trying to convert it to another state like pakistan trying to make peace and government state by 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. when i come back find out why thousands of portugese are heading for the exit and you can also end up in jail too if you are too poor to pay your debts in the u.s. or examine that. the illusion of safety trumping you're right seems to be the main political theme

of post nine eleven america and notice pushing the keep you safe at any cost more the new york billionaire mayor michael bloomberg who recently had to defend his stop and frisk strategy after giving a speech to police brass stop and frisk is the practice of just being able to search anyone in new york at any time for any reason with your hands this gestapo style practice has been in place since two thousand and two but thankfully was finally recently found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge you know the fourth amendment all the talk about no unlawful search and seizure seems pretty clear to me why did this take so long to figure out bloomberg despite that silly constitution thing stands firm with his policy to occurring if you end street stops looking for guns they will be more guns on the street and more people will be killed it's just that sample well to that i would say if you stop nazi style first kings of random innocent people there will be more freedom on the streets it's just that simple but that's just my opinion.

there are so many scams out there people saying that they will help you get a work visa disappear right after they get your cash he's emigrating himself at the end of the year but he worries about the country he's leaving behind. you were facing a serious brain drain in portugal oakum three educates people but can't employ people so we're left with a grain population. graying population are all too aware of where the current situation will leave them he shot real time you start my pension gets cut time and time again soon i'll get nothing but. on the day they ask me to go back to work. for young people like a nation the decision is clear they are off to presume for a new life in a country they say can give them what portugal just can't ask them. thank you we

don't want to be reach aren't moving for the money we're movin so that one day we can earn enough to start a family leave normal lives here now if you can get a job it's honestly if we just for perhaps three years that's not leaving peter all of our t. portugal. we're checking out the website and if you could have it red tape blocks the ambitions of a killer mass murderer and his brevik wanted to start a fascist organization the prison penned up locations been turned over a clerical error we'd have more and another click away i'll take you behind the scenes of the kremlin big story the week from russia russia's great cardinal overseas suddenly step this last week r.t. dot com we'll take a look at look closer wives may step down he was a leading architect of presidential policy wrong with.

the american civil liberties union is warning the u.s. public against being bogged down in too much debt the group's revealed figures showing a rising number of people have failed to pay their debts and fines and a big yard bars without a court verdict now the practice is being criticized as unconstitutional but it's alive and kicking certainly in the state of ohio as many portnoy found. a little western u.s. state. internationally recognized for being the battleground where america's next president is decided let's talk about the importance of ohio and in the battle for ohio state eighteen electoral votes means so much elbows paying a lot of attention ohio ohio. you're probably going to decide the next president of the united states for the past thirty six years no candidate has entered the white house without winning this swing state while heigho undoubtedly wields an enormous influence in the arena of u.s.

presidential politics the state is currently garnering headlines for its presence specifically the medieval type punishment being imposed on countless citizens who are drowning in debt. according to a report released by the a.c.l.u. 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 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 open what we're doing is going to change that fifty five year old jackdaw lee 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 paying on my fines that they set me up on a payment program which was reasonable for me but upon losing my job i had no income yet prisons violate the u.s. and ohio constitutions according to the a.c.l.u. most of the defendants weren't given hearings before being jailed for outstanding fines if the court had taken any time to ask whether or not they couldn't afford to pay that they would see that these were people who just simply cannot pay they were individuals who are homeless many who haven't worked for months if not years people who are disabled people who are taking care of disabled family members these are people who are working and just don't feel like spending the money these are people who literally have no money people like dante stiles who is unemployed and says he

often has to choose between feeding his two children or paying his fines a promise so back and forth back and forth in court back before of conflict days here fifteen days here and while the cash strapped citizens are in carson. read in gutters prisons. there are fines keep growing like credit card interest it's described as a vicious circle it was seven hundred thirty thirty seven dollars ok the eleven days when i went back to court at the court course and pernod the public defended it went up actually two hundred dollars more than one point eight million ohioans reportedly live in poverty and more than four hundred thousand are unemployed i want to get it behind me dolly lost his job last year after missing work for a ten day sentence in debtors prison i had just started the job i was probably there not quite a month. i was expecting a paycheck so i'd gone in early to get a paycheck so i could go in and pay on my find my release i was terminated from my

job dollie has received just fifty dollars credit for each of the sixteen days he was illegally imprisoned but most like styles have not and the state revered for predicting america's presidents has garnered a new reputation for how it punishes the poor. artsy ohio. ahead takes a seat with a.j. jacobs sees a squirrel magazine's editor at large and restless mother think we can say that it became a living experiment to filming everything in his life from dusk to dawn and shot to him after the break. manufacturing consent or determining a foreign policy consensus in washington in the halls of power in western capitals drive foreign policy decisions particularly when it comes to iran and israel and syria is american foreign policy in the country's own interest. the civilized

live.

author and journalist a.j. jacobs is a man of many experiments one year he lived according to the bible also another two were dedicated to becoming the healthiest human being look most recently it's remarkable it holds ten hours of video as fire magazine's editor at large spent

twelve weeks logging his life and live it sticks in there and it fills whatever you're looking at documenting every second with a camera that looks like an oversized bluetooth. this so-called self surveillance seems extreme but in an exclusive interview with our team jacob says it's only a matter of time before the majority will be living this way but a.j. jacobs thank you very much for sitting now with r.t. thank you. so for the past fifteen years you've essentially made your life a series of experiments you told me at least twenty five experiments you've conducted. why have you decided or why did you decide to do this but i think it's the best way to learn about something is to become a human guinea pig so if i want to learn about religion i try to live by the bible if i want to learn about outsourcing i outsource my own life so that i feel it's

a good way to learn how to improve your life because after the experiment maybe i won't do everything i did during the experiment play always take away something that makes my life a little better are you capable to live a normal life as a normal human being while you're doing those experiments no it depends on the experiment but sometimes it's quite difficult sometimes it takes over your life and drives my wife crazy let's talk about one of your most recent experiments since the life logging experiment that you conducted for about three months he was sensually were videotaping every minute of your life rafts right from them to moment i woke up until the moment i went to sleep. we have a little camera in my ear that was videotaping everything and the idea was that our memories are terrible and this was a a way that where i could actually remember so when i got in an argument with my wife and she said oh you never said that last hour you told me the before i would i could actually say well let's go back to the videotape and see what really happened and how transparent can a life of

a human being get when you're recording every second of your day well it's a it is a bit of a problem because you know we do things that that are a little embarrassing but i thought this is sort of taken the whole idea of facebook and twitter and taking it to its logical extreme this is what we're going to be doing where all of our lives are going to be on the record so we're all going to be like politicians whatever we say will be recorded are there any destructive you know elements to that oh yeah i think it had some big downsides i mean just the when i went over an argument with my wife you know that was horrible because it was a lose lose because if i was wrong then i was wrong and if she was wrong then she just got angrier so there are problems with it but there are also great things about it you know when i have kids and whatever they did something cute i always had it on tape but didn't the way that your friends behave with you did their

interaction didn't change i mean how do people change when they know that you're videotaping them yes sometimes it's freaked him out so some would you know literally dive under tables to avoid being videotaped but it also had an interesting effect because people acted a little better they you know people didn't want to gossip in front of me so it will be interesting when everyone has these little video cameras which i believe is coming and then i think we'll see maybe the world will be a better place you also describe conducted another experiment called the unit tasking. experiment tell me about well this was because i'm a terrible multi-tasker so when i'm on the phone i'm also you know typing e-mails and watching t.v. and riding my bicycle and you know everything at once but the studies show that's terrible for you.
