russian authorities say they have killed suspected terrorist plot again attack on moscow. and calls in the u.k. to quit the e.u. grow louder where the referendum and a political pipeline while other members also question whether it's time to go it alone themselves. iraq sectarian violence retches up as nine car bombs ripped through she a neighborhood killing up to forty people and wounding scores more. the situation is spiraling out of control with the terror in violence fueling fears that the country is on the brink of a civil war. what

you are they coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina joshua welcome to the program well russia's anti-terrorist committee says a planned terror attack on moscow has been averted in a separate incident two dadley blasts were in the capital of russia's dagestan republic we now have andrew farmer here in the studio for more on this and we thank you for joining us today so first what do we know about this plant on the russian capital and on the russian capital f.s.b. say that they have a terrorist attack in moscow they haven't given details about exactly the nature of that attack but they have gone on to say that they have killed two militants and arrested another who were linked to the plot what we do know is that this took place during a shootout in a town about ninety kilometers east of moscow this afternoon they say that the three militants involved were russian citizens but they believe that they had come back from the afghanistan pakistan region where they were seizing training in

terrorism but they are the only details we know but the f.s.b. has come out and said they have four. and a terrorist attack in moscow of course there will be more leads to this as an investigation will go on there but let's not talk about the other terrorist attack that happened today the deadly blast in. the capital of dagestan that was right you know took place in the middle of this afternoon at around about three thirty local time three people have been killed and at least twenty seven have been the injured seven of which we know a seriously injured it was a double car bomb blast and initially the first bomb went off a few minutes later the emergency services arrived at the scene and that's when there was a second more powerful blast that took place this comes just a couple of weeks after there was a. bomb blast in the same city that killed two teenagers and almost exactly a year ago to the day there was a very similar car bomb attack in which again it was

a double blast very similar to the one we saw in that killed twelve people there is a bit of background this is stone is a muslim republican it has been the target for islamic extremists in recent years many of which have had contacts with international terrorist groups including al qaida and the russian government has repeatedly said that this really is an example to show the fact that terrorism is global where everything is very much for keeping us up to speed of what's happening here in moscow and in there you stand there was andrew farmer bring us up to date here on our team stay with us for more as we get more information on those stories. now growing british distrust of the e.u. has got members of the leading conservatives to start the push for a referendum on whether to quit bills in the pipeline for a twenty seventeen down the line for the public to decide if they want to stay in the debt ridden or not recent years have seen opinion move in one direction

and here's what the euro brawler polling center fans. six years ago it discovered that almost half the u.k. population didn't trust the e.u. whereas a poll conducted last year shows that two thirds of those who took part were euro skeptic that as a number of britain's business leaders voiced concerns that a so-called brags it will result in tens of billions of pounds and losses but what do other e.u. member states think about you case possible departure or does berlin correspond the all or has been finding out should it stay old should it go britain's future in the e.u. is getting serious and time at home that with better watch out now whether britain should remain in the gate for britain to leave the european union to those that britain would leave behind think about an e.u. with no u.k. britain it's important but the truth is of course you are could survive without

britain it still would be european union it would be still a very large market it is possible it is thinkable we can have a european union without britain among germany's euro skeptics there's a grudging respect for their british counterparts challenging brussels bureaucracy however they fear they could be in for more of that bureaucracy should the u.k. leave it will probably have a backlash for the european thinking and then they may think well now we have these oddballs all it and we can go even further with the way of centralizing everything and even overregulating more than we have already and how do the german people feel about britain looking into divorce. if they want to go than they should if they don't use the euro it's not really. i couldn't care less but if that's what they want then we'll just continue without them. as long ago we can't leave europe never became part of it because of the island

mentality and colonial past. when you're going to be able they are not in the euro zone if they want to leave i say go for it i'm not sure what they'll get out of it . those germans that say that they aren't concerned whether the u.k. remains in the european union or not they find their infer something of a shock should the united kingdom opt for independence because if the u.k. were to leave the single market would shrink by fifteen percent and three hundred billion euro worth of annual trade would face extra costs and this would affect of course a view on those in german chancellor angela merkel's own party have wondered if the u.k. is a truly became a member of the e.u. great britain the intricate part of europe for more than one thousand years has always been an uneasy with being a member of the european union so now it comes to before we have to do would have some. promised britain a referendum on e.u.

membership it's going to be almost impossible for this government of the next to take the issue off the agenda if that split does come about it should to bring about changes but perhaps not too many tears from the heart of europe. peter all of a party girl and. now let's get the thoughts of british conservative m.p. james ward thanks very much mr gordon for joining us here on r.t. so it seems like you case parliament is pretty polarized on this issue and the question is why isn't there a concerted push to get a referendum sort of and the decision made once and for all. well there are there are three main parties in british picks the opposition labor party the government could conservatives and the liberal democrats who are the smaller party in partnership in coalition government and the labor party the opposition and the liberal democrats are both dead set against giving the british people a say the conservative party is committed to

a policy of renegotiation and then putting the result of that to an in out referendum by the end of two thousand and seventeen so the problem is although the conservatives as the main party of government in the prime minister david cameron is a conservative prime minister on this issue the government is not united and the liberal democrats will not allow government time to be used to bring a referendum bill before parliament well why are so many in your party keen to quit rather than be more of an e.u. power player well actually even within the conservative party there is debate about whether we'd be better off in a better off out of the european union and what this is really about is what most people agree and i think all people in the conservative party agree is that the british people should have a say we had a referendum on being a member of the european economic area in one thousand nine hundred ninety five since then europe has changed out of all recognition it is not just a free trade area it has influence in many different aspects and parts of british

life much of that has been done without it ever being put to the people again to give their consent and there's a feeling that having gone as far as it has that the time has come for that consent to be renewed or if it is not renewed for the united kingdom to leave i think that's certainly the debate within the conservative party it's certainly not all come says m.p. saying we should leave what it is is conservative m.p. saying that people should be given the best say again that time is come all looking at this issue from economics perspective it is estimated. your membership is worth up to three point five thousand pounds for every british household per year so who is going to make up that money. well let's be clear we're not talking about europe not trading with them were the u.k. to leave europe there would have to be a negotiation about what sort of trading relationship would continue to exist and there is little doubt that it is in the interests of the states that would remain in europe and the eurozone and germany and france to have good trading relations

with the u.k. just as it is in the interest of the u.k. to have good trading relations with the rest of europe the idea that were we to leave the we would then not have trading agreements don't have free trade access not negotiate things that would be in the band of benefit both to europe and to the u.k. but that's just not the case and the germans want to sell us mercedes and b.m.w.'s just as we want to sell things to the germans and the rest of you you so whether we want to stay or to leave there is no doubt that a close trading relationship will exist for many years still to come when looking at this debate i mean it seems like there are two camps of the moment the political one and the economic one it obviously britain's business backbone things quitting would be a bad idea and they're the ones who know the economy obviously so in this slide then aren't politicians just going a four popularity by bashing brussels. briefly if you could but actually i mean that even within the business community even within the business community there's divided opinion about this and the reality is we don't know what leaving would look like which is partly why not looking at

a referendum immediately the legislation that i'm bringing before parliament would be to ensure there was a referendum by the end of two thousand and seventeen after a period of negotiations so that people could make their decision in an informed way whatever the referendum is all and it will be an in out referendum but whatever the out actually means or in actually means we don't currently know it may be that we can renegotiate terms and get a much better e.u. that suits britain britain's interests much more clearly and people overwhelmingly would vote stay and it may be that we can't but we can negotiate an alternative which is an appealing one which sets britain's relationship with the e.u. in a light that people would be happy with we just don't yet know what would be on the table but what we do know is that whatever happens whether referendums to stay in also leave britain would continue to have a close relationship with our european neighbors and partners we would look to continue to trade with them because that would be done in the interests of both sides all right british conservative m.p. james ward thanks very much indeed for your views are here on r.t.

thank you and of course here on r.t. want to know which way you think the e.u. well we're conducting today our poll on the web site r.t. dot com well that take a look at ads. a breakdown of the vote here so some of you have voted already in fact half of you say it will end up in financial collapse and dissolution about twenty four percent and thing then that it will evolve into german quasi empire nineteen percent and so far tell us that the e.u. will go on and no it might actually lose the weaker members on the way and only a small fraction which is six percent and are feeling positive saying the e.u. will manage the debt crisis and grow stronger of course you can let us know what you think on this issue by logging onto our to dot com and leaving your vote there . it is time for us said this question but i'm pretty sure that you're.

fresh eruption of sectarian violence in iraq with deadly blast targeting public areas including markets and bus stops has claimed up to forty lives their attacks struck baghdad and the southern town of basra which have also left more than one hundred wounded details from our middle east correspondent. according to iraqi officials some narooma car bombs have exploded in shiite neighborhoods in the capital city of baghdad now we're hearing that they took place at outdoor market places at bus stops and on the streets of shiite areas on monday morning also on monday morning before these attacks they were to diggy car bombs that targeted a bus station and the restaurant in the southern city of basra which is close to the arabian border in that attack at least ten people were killed and some twenty seven people wounded not no one has immediately take responsibility for these blasts but they do have all the signs and the hallmarks of al qaida attacks in the

mainly shia muslim bus route which was previously relatively peaceful have increased recently back in march a car bomb in that city killed ten and wounded many others these situations that he does seem to be spiraling out of control tensions have been intensifying since the country's minority sunni population says that its list treatment at the hands of the shiite led government has been increasing including random detentions and also neglect not protests which began back in december were launched the peaceful but in april the number of attacks rose because of the deadly security crackdown on the sunni protest camp in the country's rule and what we've seen is a spike of bombings recently targeting either sunni or shiite civilian targets especially in the last week according to the united nations april was the most violent month in iraq since two thousand and eight and this is fueling fears of a return to the civil war for two thousand and six two thousand and seven when widespread sectarian violence lift tens of thousands of people did. and i

had on our team it seems protecting the vulnerable can put you on the wrong side of the law in britain we look out the curious border protection taps where the fate of families and individuals judged on fit to make their own decisions. pakistanis have gone to the polls and they look to the new parliament what will the new government do domestically and in the area of foreign policy particularly washington's drone war with growing economic dislocations in a very threatening taliban ok and should pakistan move forward and will the military continue to watch on the sidewalk. leave.

you. i. will go back to what you are going to live from moscow now british families torn apart and some were it was even put behind bars for trying to care for the or a loved ones the court of protection has been exercising its sweeping powers to decide the fate of those deemed unable to make their own decisions playboy looks

into one of the most and torrijos cases. when john maddox was diagnosed with dementia his children ivan and wanda intended to give him the best care they could but they clashed with social workers and their local council which took the family to the secret court of protection it will get the eighty year old lack the mental capacity to make his own decisions and needed to live in a special care home he didn't want to be in a home basically told he didn't want to be in a home. he want to really want to go with one to the final home when he went i'm swear to god to look after him right. the court makes rulings on behalf of citizens deemed to one well to be responsible for their own affairs it has power to take control of assets and separate family members all in secret wonder and i even want a loud to take their father out of the state run facility or even discuss his

living arrangements with him but he kept on asking me want to go. but i didn't want to tell him that it didn't mean i was any more they got it because of the court protection and the sickos will do whatever they want with the finances in its house what works are going to be locked up in these rooms week on grocery where. i don't feel free in order to mount a legal challenge to the secret court ruling wonder took her father to see a solicitor one day tried to draw attention to the case but was sentenced to prison for contempt of the secret court so instead of caring for her father like she wanted to she had to spend two months in here in the company of criminals or crime the fear is two days i was in the prison i cry because nobody you treated like an ardent criminals and if you go in there you really cannot challenge the question as to whether somebody has mental capacity or not without talking to them and she was

in prison firstly for taking her father to see a solicitor in birmingham. which makes it sound quite u.k.e. well in a sense it's worse than dr drew because draco would not have gone that far when i was in the chair i was frightened because the list minting of phone calls so i was afraid to speak to dad. because i'm the commission's report on his and also you know in case i got in more trouble meanwhile her brother and i even watched their father's health deteriorate terms of the strain of her absence in the end when he moved into that final loom that was the end of him and he wanted it wanted still loved him anything i said you've got to know this she divorce. she's put herself in prison port observers say the difficulty with justice behind closed doors is that no one knows if the lawyer is being followed the evidence is heard in private defendants often lack legal representation and i want to allow to publicize their case where medicines it is giving the state too much power to intervene in people's

lives preventing people complaining about what's been done to them is never right the governments faced a barrage of criticism over the practice of secret justice justice secretary chris grayling has said i have written to the president of the court to ask him to look at what steps can be taken to increase transparency while continuing to protect the interests of vulnerable adults but john maddox never got to go to his home or to his family he died in january of this year it's worried me what what they've done that taken died away from a supply and i keep wondering what's going on to us when we get older you know you've got to be really careful. not safe like. stoke on trent. the focus of the radiation no go zone still means locals are banned from staying overnight in their own neighborhoods but as we explained online japanese farmers are plowing on anyway using the land for growing rice for mass

consumption. also how do you keep football fans safe at a twenty first century world cup perhaps an army of u.s. military robots and israeli drones are about brazil's twenty fourteen plants r.t. dot com. iran and u.n. officials will resume their nuclear talks in vienna on tuesday the country's under pressure was major world powers pushing to iran to reassure international community it's not seeking nuclear weapons which are ron's always denied the i.a.e.a. as director general has talked to r.t. about use hopes for the meeting. yes or no question do you believe that iran is still involved in nuclear weapons program. that iran has a case too. we don't have yet the answer mr i don't have one quote from you here we have credible information that iran continued its activities beyond two thousand and three where is this information coming from from various sources we have this

information from open source we have. information and we have. information coming from some ten countries we have asked you to clarify if iran clarifies the issue. the international community can have confidence in runyon activities and we are ready to help them to clear. these these concerns so what i'm doing used to resolve the issue through diplomatic means the technical organization i mean we do not involved in the politics that we are fully aware that. in a very political environment anything related to nuclear is political that is why we should be neutral and technical.

i watch the full interview with the i.a.e.a. chief here on r.t. adds six forty five pm g m t meanwhile iran has got a proposal for the u.n. nuclear watchdog which it hosts can get the issue off the ground the country's ambassador to russia says that iran is ready to while the atomic inspectors into its parchin facility which the i.a.e.a. suspects of covert bombs research but first the agency must outline its suspicions in full for the outside mohammad marandi told r.t. is to say that western nations don't want the problem solved. for each give there must be a take in other words if you run takes a step forward di a must also give something in return and vice versa what the iranians are saying is that part of chain which is a military complex is it's fine with iran for the i.a.e.a. to inspect at site but iranians wanted to be done within

a comprehensive framework otherwise if the iranians allow the i.a.e.a. inspectors inside there is no reason to prevent the americans from giving when they find nothing then the americans will say no well it wasn't that building it was another building in the parching site that you need to see and this story will go on forever and ever so the iranians are saying let's sign a comprehensive agreement and then we will allow you into the side and return you have to give something to us if it is proven that there is nothing there that is dangerous or suspicious then the i.a.e.a. must give us a sign of approval so it's very easy from the perspective of the iranians to resolve but i say chief is basically someone who is controlled by the united states he was installed by the united states and he is one willing to resolve the situation would you say this is why didn't it did the world powers they runyan talks in kazakstan last month and who would you say is the more stubborn of the two

sides the other side because of the situation that western countries have brought about as unable to make a decision and to move forward to constant threats made by israel are themselves a sign that it is an irrational regime and hostile regime and the fact that the united states and western countries supported every time he makes a threat against the iranians again shows the iranians that western countries do not behave rationally when it comes to iran israelis who would lose militarily as well as politically because the international community aside from the west. they would recognize israel as the aggressor state and they would cause further instability in the region which does not serve the interests of the united states or israel so the iranians really at this stage don't take any threat of military attack as serious but it does see it as a sign of israeli in human behavior. britain's first astronaut to

go to the international space station says he is delighted and privileged to be assigned along mission tim peak was chosen from eight thousand candidates to go on this trip well for this we're now joined by tom barton tell me just to think of a competition eight thousand people competing for this and he wants to peak here tell us more about the man he did indeed yes forty one year old major tim peak here is is the man himself he's due to go up now in two thousand and fifteen for his five month stint on the international space station he's gone through his european space agency training up there he'll do experiments with the european space agency's module up there maybe even he'll get a spacewalk on the outside of the space station as well it's his unique in a way that we've got a brit going up he's officially i suppose the first brit there has the vast majority in the past of space crews have been from the u.s.

and from russia are at the top of the chart yeah absolutely you know with a scattering from from europe as well there have been brits as well but they've either adopted u.s. citizenship to go through nasa or have privately arranged things and flown with russia's space agency so he is sort of officially the first brit calling him major tim i think i'm playing on the david bowie song when when he was asked he said he feels confident about this mission he's looking forward to it and he may even one day want to be the first briton on the moon was just thinking out of the status i mean i'm sure the whole country is behind him and really proud of this achievement all right well it will be definitely a looking at him peak here and what he manages to achieve there at the ice says tom thanks very much indeed for bringing us more on this. and you're watching our t.v. live from moscow cross is next.

although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about that buddhist monk who burned himself to death as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the average bulgarian and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six ball gary and have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen god see a professor at bowdoin college who is extensively talked about here and protesters claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed

their own children and that people are actually becoming for communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace is perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the better ball carriers chances believe me but that's just my opinion. as a. glowing welcome across the uk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle pakistanis have gone to the polls and elected a new parliament.
