very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on our t.v. i'm to bomb would say let's take a look at the news this hour. right growing british distrust of the e.u. has got members of the leading conservatives to stop the push for referendum on whether to quit bills in the pipeline for twenty seventeen deadline for the public to decide if they want to stay in the debt ridden e.q. or not recent years have seen opinion move in one direction let's take a look and here's what the euro barometer polling center found out six years ago it is covered that almost half of the u.k. population didn't trust the e.u. as a poll taken later this year shows that two thirds of those who took part where you are skeptic that there's a number of britons business leaders are voiced concerns that a so-called brics it will result in tens of billions of pounds in losses but what other e.u. member states think about the u.k.'s possible verlyn correspondent resolver has
1:02 pm
been finding out. should it stay or should it go britain's future in the e.u. is getting serious air time at home that we're better off 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 and we can go even further with the way of centralizing everything and
1:03 pm
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 they can't leave europe they never became part of it because of their 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. those germans that say that they are concerned whether the 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 train by fifteen percent and three hundred billion euro worth of annual trade would face extra costs and this would affect of
1:04 pm
course everyone 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 and into a part of your for more than one thousand years has always been easy with been a member of the european union so now it comes to the fore we have to deal with some having 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's sure to bring about changes but perhaps not too many tears from the heart of europe. peter all of a party girl in. britain has rattled some cages by pledging and in the al direct friend with friends like using david cameron of splintering the e.u. but one of cameron's fellow m.p.'s says britain did when you did what did damage
1:05 pm
economic relations with other member states. 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 euro zone 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 or have free trade access not negotiate things that would be in a band of benefit 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 the so whether we were to stay ought to leave there's no doubt that a close trading relationship will exist for many years still to come. with a lot of hard feeling a sore linger on the e.u. one thing a made me seem to agree on is the anger at brussels ninety european countries are now in recession and with no end still staring to inside membership appears to be
1:06 pm
more trouble than it's worth while psalmist has our cilia reports. oh if we're talking about the gloomy situation here in europe it's no longer just the naysayers or the so-called euro skeptics who are voicing their pessimism ordinary citizens across europe have now been starting to change their minds really on this entire european project if you look at a couple of recent surveys one is the pew study it shows that right now less than half of the european citizens support this entire a european project that they're even optimistic about it it's at forty five percent right now down from sixty percent a last year and this of course has largely to do with the entire economic situation we've seen dismal numbers come out this week putting nine out of seventeen euro zone countries in a recession and if you look at one of those countries which is france it is also one of the two poor countries at the very foundation of the creation of this union seventy seven percent of the french feel of that economic integration has been bad
1:07 pm
for their economy that more business within the e.u. has undermined their own economy and if you look at the biggest concern of a citizens here it is the lack of jobs at seventy eight percent and that is not surprising considering that the e.u. has reached record unemployment rates and still continuing to rise also we look at the youth unemployment here we've seen that going up above fifty percent in countries like greece and spain and the optimism really has gone down into the most pessimistic countries really are france and italy not seeing any future for the young people we've seen a rise in suicide rates again in countries like greece spain and italy we've seen on employment skyrocketing poverty among young people children here in belgium has just gone up as well as a result of a lot of parents losing their jobs so these numbers are just confirming the kind of pessimism that is across europe it's not again just an opinion of the euro skeptics
1:08 pm
or naysayers these are figures of citizens themselves creating this european union looking at what the future. for the if we really are not very optimistic at all. we want to know which way you think the e.u. will go let's take a look at what you've been saying this hour exactly hoffer of you say it will end up in a financial collapse and dissolution a quarter of you predict evolution into a virtual german empire nineteen the percent of you tell us that you think the e.u. will go on but just to lose it it's a weak members only a small minority positive saying the e.u. will manage the dead crisis and grow stronger head to our dot com to cost. these toys from. this question about britain's. rushes the empty terrorist comedies says a planned terrorist attack in moscow has been operated in separate incidents early
1:09 pm
on monday there were two deadly blasts in the capital of russia's republic artie's the endor farmer is across developments or the f.s.b. says it has a terrorist attack on moscow it hasn't given details about the nature of it but says it has killed two militants and arrested another who were involved in the plot that took place during a shootout in the town just outside moscow ninety kilometers east of moscow where all three men were russian citizens but it is believed that they were receiving training for terrorism in the pakistan afghanistan region list comes after a terrorist attack in dagestan in the capital of. that was a double car bomb blast which killed three people and injured we believe up to twenty seven people seven of which seriously hurt it was a blast that took place in downtown near the bailiff's office and it happened around three thirty pm local time it's believed that the first blast occurred and
1:10 pm
then just minutes later after emergency services arrived at the scene there was a second more powerful blast and this comes just two weeks after a bomb went off in the center of this city which killed two teenagers and then almost exactly a year ago there was a very similar double car bomb blast in the city which killed twelve people which is a bit of background dagestan is a muslim republican has been the target for extremist islamicists over the last few years or so and the russian government has repeatedly says it does underline the fact that terrorism is global. hezbollah militants have joined forces with pro assad troops in the fierce a fight for control of a rebel stronghold on syria's border with lebanon now the town of qusayr is considered a key entry point for smuggling arms into syria the battle for the city in the contested homs province is viewed by both sides as a turning point which could prove crucial on deciding the conflict for some
1:11 pm
analysis away now joined live by certificate and political analyst from the cia foundation pollo phony now forty some reports say twenty eight. hezbollah fighters have been killed in this office what does this say about the rebels' military capability. or the rebel look at abilities depend on the money which is fun of the to them from so the arabia and qatar and the capacity to acquire armaments in the market we can say but most probably via turkey and they are now the foes of huge sums of money which have been visions in increased of by qatar especially specifically so it is believable that rebels may. acquire some military capacity more than in the past different stories for its is. an older organization and it has ties as we know with the syrian government itself and with
1:12 pm
iran and the way to supply them is by iraq. and this being implemented pretty well thanks to the iraqi government cooperation let's talk a little bit more about his beloved been a part of this conflict how much more of a spillover can we expect to come. well the attempts that was taking place some days ago by the syrian government was to gain control of the coastal area of syria and of the crucial corridor that connects that area to lebanon where the it's have a stronghold as we know. so evidently the situation may spill over into lebanon on one side because of the it's blood connection. but on the other hand
1:13 pm
evidently the sunni area may spillover into jordan and other neighboring countries in the situation is that the syrian conflict is already an international conflict but nobody wants to declare it as such whether hezbollah has the involvement is it down to self preservation all rather can we expect an act of support for the syrian regime. the. and the syrian regime historically well connected so. tried also to help the syrian regime to reorganize the army and to move to the coastal area because it's self interest for its pullout but on the other hand is part of the deal with the assad. well that will have to leave it right there thank you very much i miss the polar opponents are cheating and a political analyst from the cia foundation. right i had on our d.

british families torn apart and some relatives even put behind bars for trying to care for their loved ones the court of protection has been exercising its sweeping powers to decide the fate of those deemed and able to make their own decisions looks into one of the most notorious 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 ruled that the eight 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 wanted to either want to go with one to the final home when he went i'm swear to god to look after him out. the court makes rulings on
1:19 pm
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 to allow 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 cord attached 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 long . 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 i cried
1:20 pm
the fierce two days i was in the prison i cried 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 ukelele well in a sense it's worse than dr drew conan because draco would not have gone that far when i was in the chair i was frightened because the list meant to phone calls so i was afraid to speak to dad. because of the conditions he put on his and also you know in case they got in more trouble meanwhile her brother ivan watched their father's health deteriorate under the strain of her absence in the end when he moved into that final home that was the end of him and he wanted it wanted still middle of the money and i said you've got to know this she divorced. she's put herself in prison port. observers say the difficulty with justice behind closed
1:21 pm
doors is that no one knows if the law is being followed the evidence is heard in private defendants often lack legal representation and on to loud to publicize their case when it is giving the state too much power to intervene in people's lives preventing people complaining about what's being done to them is never right the government's 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 interest of vulnerable adults but john maddox never got to go to his home or to his family he died in january of this year he's forty three what what they're doing that taken away from him and they're wondering what's going on to us when we get older that we got we really could. not say.
1:22 pm
stoke on trent. but on our website the fukushima radiation no go zone no still means locals are banned from seeing overnight in their own neighborhoods but as we explained on lined up in these farmers are wowing on anyway using the land for growing why for mass consumption. also how do you keep football phone safe at a twenty first century world cup or perhaps an army of the us military robots and israel he wrote his own about brazil's twenty fourteen plan on r.t. dot com. britain's first official astronaut says he's delighted and privileged to be assigned along mission to inform on more than eight thousand candidates for the trip across one and tom bottom profile to major tim to our genes we're in a. time just to think of a competition eight thousand people competing for this and he wants to pick. tell
1:23 pm
us more about the man you 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 but 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 there calling him
1:24 pm
major tim i think a play on the david bowie so on 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. one many years there's the it's about time britain got on board it is the explore all from the british interplanetary society which promotes space exploration even as the u.k. vote got a lot of catching up to do to inspire young people to look beyond taking what fifty years since you're ignoring flew and probably thirty forty years since man land on the moon but at last the government of the mines up and committed to the international astronauts britain's pretty good at manufacturing satellites we've got a nine billion pound satellite manufacturing industry employing thirty thousand people and the growth rate some about eight percent for the space infrastructure side so it's a great job creating activity and the government realize that there are benefits.
1:25 pm
for the long term having an astronaut because of future instruments as well because they inspire young people to take up science and technology courses but i think this is awareness that we really have as a country really listen mr or move the international activity that's been going on and this is a case of catching up but i think we're there now and major tim pagans with is a great candidate and i. look up to spar for a fifth guy very mature guy and he's going to be spending these five minutes doing a lot of hard work not only the research and the space walks and so forth but the inspiration side for particularly for young people which is really important. iran and the u.n. officials will resume their nuclear talks in vienna and shoot stable countries under pressure with major world powers pushing to iran to reassure international community it's not seeking nuclear weapons which iran always denied in the next.
