a record low as he marks twelve months in office with voters disillusioned over unemployment and continuing austerity. two am in moscow i'm at treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on our tea at least seventeen people including a ten year old have been injured in a shooting at a mother's day parade in new orleans artie's marina porton joins us live by phone with more details marina so can you tell us what happened. well it was an unanticipated scene that unfolded as hundreds of people gathered in new orleans to celebrate mother's day according to reports the bullets started firing

hundreds were working in the second line of the new orleans traditional parade that takes place on mother's day and bullets erupted and as you mentioned at least seventeen people have been injured that's according to figures so far that number jumped from twelve to seventeen long those that were injured include a ten year old girl who was reportedly raised. there's also been reports that at least four people were in surgery after the shooting which happened at two pm local time in new orleans this is clearly something that nobody anticipated on a day where the entire nation in the united states is celebrating mother's day and of course the issue of crime and random shootings is one that it's central to what ongoing debate in the united states over gun control but we are trying to get more information that becomes available but the most recent information that we do have this that. that shooting erupted as hundreds for celebrating mother's day in

a new orleans at a traditional parade and at least as seventeen ha been injured in this on the accepted clearly and very devastating shooting and at this point who are bull who is police saying was behind the attack what are the police saying who are they looking for at this point one of the initial reports from. it's not that they believe that three people were apparently working together on the shooting and were seen running from the scene that's according to reports and their belief that there have been at least two different cell for use in this shooting it is not clear if those guns were licensed or registered to anybody or if those guns don't land and across state lines that's something obviously that the police are investigating right now clearly an investigation that will last in the coming days but so far the initial accounts coming from the new orleans police department is that they believe three people were apparently working together and were running

away and two different on. this devastating shooting taking place on mother's day. all right artie's marina live by phone for us from new orleans that video that we were showing there oh by the way exclusive video to us here at r.t. of what happened during the shooting well a nine people have been detained in turkey in connection with saturday's deadly car bombings there the blast killed forty six and injured more than one hundred in a town near the syrian border hours after the incident rushed to put the blame for the attack on syrian intelligence services damascus though denying any involvement turkey's foreign minister called upon the international community to act against the assad regime our middle east correspondent policy 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 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 called elements there's no proof to say that they are there's no proof to say that they are not these radical elements all setting up their own infrastructure and there are many groups among the instructions be mistrust 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 three quarters that they have taken over they've set up courts for example that all manned by lawyers and judges they've set up schools they say it's about this. 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 are operating particularly along the syrian border. jeremy salter professor of middle east studies at bill kent university

thinks the attacks could have been the work of extremists linked to syrian rebels though not the government. we know for a fact because the main islam is fighting group in syria has admitted it's that al qaida in iraq and. in syria are one and the same and all the fighting groups in syria and they're all working tactically with up in austria so al-qaeda is in syria we know that that's not confirmed the smallest been suspected from the 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 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 is going to washington this week and syria will be on top of

the agenda and my my feeling is that the ticket won't do anything but so that it won't bite if he won't commit america to take a more involved over syria i don't think that turkey will do anything and the issue here is what kind of if it is that they're 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 most everything is going to depend on the outcome of the talks in washington but you know obama and. a united global effort aimed at ending the syrian conflict has finally gotten off the ground the u.s. britain and russia to an international peace conference they could be held by the end of may there are some diplomatic obstacles about washington and london still considering sending arms to syrian rebels something russia strongly opposes artie's alexei 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. has been accused of supporting only one side of the syrian side of the syrian rebels 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. countries that bashar assad must step down at the same time the western world has never been saying that it's the syrian people have to choose their new government they have to choose their new future now 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. chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't yet been proven. the 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 sorts in 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 shift fundamentally 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 labral 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 go ahead this hour unfulfilled promises francoise long as popularity hits a new low takes a look at why so many people say they're on a happy with france's president just a year after his election victory. first now as sharif pakistan's former prime minister is claiming victory in the country's

historic general election that will mark the first transition between two civilian governments there this is supporters of his main rival imran khan took to the streets to protest official results the election campaigns been the bloodiest in the country's history with more than one hundred thirty people killed last month including dozens on the day of voting. has more from islamic law. 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 wash a reef 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. he'll 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 his p.t.i. 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 in 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 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 updated on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm lucy. still to come this hour a fresh wave of violence hits bangladesh thousands of hardline islamist clash with police calling for tougher anti blasphemy laws including the death penalty for water this after a short break stay with us. yes super super yoseph look for security these along with their civilian new.
