russia says it will go ahead and deliver air to fan systems to syria calling it a counterbalance to foreign arms supplies to the rebels there are expected to surge when the e.u. arms embargo expires on friday. britain's home secretary seeks more surveillance powers for m i five after it's confirmed the intelligence agency had enough information to prevent the daylight slaughter of a british soldier. brutal vigilante executions are spreading in an age of security worsens citizens are being encouraged to turn over alleged criminals but mobs are dishing out their own deadly justice.

as four pm a mosque in watching r t with me marina josh welcome to the program now the doors to european weapons sales to the syrian rebels will open on friday when the e.u. arms embargo on the country expires a push led by britain and france man the union failed to agree on extending the sanctions some european countries are now sounding the alarm over the prospect of weapons falling into the hands of islamic extremists as a ridiculous canard ports. you can say that it was the win for france and the u.k. have been pushing for a lifting of the arms embargo on syria all along you have to know that at the same time all other sanctions particularly the economic ones remain in place and that means that every individual european state will have to decide whether or not they want to proceed with the shipments of arms to syria will have a hague over it he said the lifting of the arms embargo is the only way to end the crisis which has been gripping syria hard for more than two years at this point

having said that we have to remember that even the most of the e.u. countries there's a strong disagreement on whether or not it is actually a good idea to lift the arms embargo of countries like sweden netherlands in the czech republic believe that allowing weapons shipments to syria to the syrian rebels will only intensify the bloodshed in the country certainly concerned about where exactly those arms are going to end up then are they actually going to be in the arms of the so-called moderate opposition or will those weapons end up in the hands of some of the rebel groups who are being supported by al qaeda terrorists who are known to operate in syria ironically well while the e.u. foreign ministers were meeting in brussels the russian foreign minister as well as the u.s. secretary of state were meeting here in paris and their efforts were directed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict also mosco in washington directing most of their efforts to bring together all sides of the syrian conflict to the table it

does seem like john kerry and sergey lavrov have agreed that they will exert pressure on different sides of the conflict that is moscow will work with the syrian government whereas the u.s. will try and make sure that the syrian opposition also attends the geneva peace conference which is due to take place sometime next month most go also wants to see so-called third parties participating in the peace talks and by the third parties they're talking about countries like qatar and iran who are not directly involved in any sort of diplomatic resolution of the conflict but are strongly expressing their. and and this syrian crisis of course even though the peace conference efforts are continuing we have to understand that. lifting up the ban on arms embargo to syria is opening and inspiring you say is in the syrian conflict it could be spelling out a potential disaster which will only intensify further bloodshed in syria russia has slammed the e.u.'s decision to drop the syria arms embargo as counterproductive

towards finding a diplomatic solution moscow says it will continue to supply air defense missiles to damascus calling it a balance designed to deter foreign intervention in syria and we have the security sean thomas for more on this so what's moscow's reasoning behind delivering on this will supply to you well the first thing you have to understand is these are all the existing contracts that were signed before the syrian conflict even began so in some ways russia is obligated to fulfill these contracts so that's the one way of looking at it but it is interesting the timing today in the wake of the e.u. allowing this arms embargo to expire this paves the way for different countries to individually start arming the rebels so the foreign ministry and the russian president's office they have expressed their disappointment in this decision saying that it undermines the international peace process something that they've been working very hard for in fact this week lavrov and kerry meeting to try and get

something going on that side of things we know that peace conference will be taking place later indeed and what russia is saying is that this move by the e.u. is a double standard policy which directly affects the prospect of having an international peace conference on the topic of syria so the timing is very interesting but the bottom line is that these are all contracts existing contracts for a defensive weapon for the assad regime ok now another question here is can the rushes to fan systems be used to influence events on the ground in syria the short answer is no but obviously it's a little bit more complicated to them. that the s three hundred is an air defensive weapon and it is it cannot be used in ground to ground combat it can't be used against to be the rebel forces if you will it's a specifically designed for air combat now russia is using this as an opportunity to reiterate that point something that they've been saying all along now the controversy of course is the international community looks at this as russia is

siding with the assad regime they're arming assad this is not the case as we mentioned before this is these are old constructs yes the a carry on they have to carry out but the thing of it is is that these are defensive weapons and russia says that this is specifically even a stabilizing factor because what it does is a profession it's hothead regimes other countries foreign forces from getting involved in the syrian capital because we don't know you know where will the weapons and you know the weapons that the west is going to supply to syria and what sort of hands will they get into a right sean thanks very much indeed for explaining the situation to us and of course we'll continue here on r t to talk about the recent move here on syria and we'll be bringing you more analysis for national thomas thanks for the subject now fears of an outbreak of killings in syria once fresh arms supplies reach the rebels are based on what's been happening in the conflict zone in the past two years syrian activists have been monitoring surges in violence and time and again they've

been tied to an influx of arms from abroad according to these figures which r.t. aired earlier this month casualties rose sharply after the first shipments from qatar reportedly arrived in two thousand and twelve and the sharpest increase came when more advanced arms were allegedly delivered a few months later and worked at us richard becker says foreign powers are desperate to bolster the syrian rebels who are losing the fight against damascus. the arms embargo is a bit of a fiction anyway they aren't supporting into the opposition in syria but if it comes from qatar and saudi arabia there are undoubtedly be organized by the united states and the other nato powers where they really mean is that they want to send heavier weapons and because the opposition has suffered serious side effects recently and so we see an all out push going on as dr post peace conference

approaches out of both a civil level and the military level to try to strengthen the opposition which is dependent upon the support it's receiving from outside otherwise it does not have any hope for victory in turkey syria today at the leading nato powers the us britain and france leading the way and then their allies are client states in the middle east have all joined in this effort and what is really remarkable about it is that we have decided to try and so a concern for some of the for human rights and democracy in syria and qatar united arab emirates saudi arabia jordan these are all family monarchies they are united in their objective in your objectives to bring down the government in syria to replace it with what would be a meaningful to u.s. interests as tired of a strategy of domination of the middle east. you know while one of the strongest

american supporters of the syrian opposition senator john mccain has made an announcement made an unannounced rather visit to the country to meet with rebel officials mccain has been calling on washington to arm the rebels and even intervene in syria with air power raising doubts that u.s. leaders really want to see a diplomatic solution. all these agitations against assad started in two thousand and three at least what's known to us openly and that there was if lived an article written in the time magazine in december of two thousand and six which mentioned there had been secret meetings going on and they cited some secret documents in which it was stated that the opposition was being new to it in europe was that and i could support so this next we know that at the same time we know that john mccain senator mccain is always he went to syria to meet with the free syrian that gratian army whatever they like to call them the opposition so america is involved in all

this i don't believe america wants a peaceful resolution to the conflict america's started it i don't think that senator mccain would take it upon himself to go to syria and meet with the opposition how do you how did not how did nod from the government otherwise he would be locked up the minute he returned. r.t. has got the latest update on syria both on air and online our web site has more stories analysis of the conflict including how another journalist has been killed while reporting from the front lines a prominent pro regime correspond was gunned down by sniper while covering clashes near the lebanese border details arline dot com.

and he task force has been set up in the u.k. to focus on radical preachers in the wake of the cold blooded murder of a soldier last week meanwhile the home secretary is demanding extra powers for law enforcement agencies the details are now from artie's polly boyko. the first time the home secretary to reason may propose the data and communications bill it came under so much criticism from civil liberties groups and even the deputy prime minister that the government had to scrap plans for its implementation but after the killing of an off duty soldier in south london last wednesday it looks like the so-called super. is back in the spotlight paying secretary to resign may says it is essential that police are granted the powers have access data communications in

order to tackle terrorism that means being able to view citizens skype histories web browsing and email histories whether or not such a know would have prevented the killing of lee rigby is up for debate both suspects were already known to intelligence agencies for their extremist views but would both deemed safe enough to continue their activities one of the suspects michael odds of a large reportedly handed out extremist literature on the streets of london and was even arrested in kenya back in two thousand and ten for trying to travel to somalia in order to train as a terrorist at the same time to him secretary to reason may says that police needs to be given the tools they need in order to fight terrorism but considering that british intelligence had all that information about the bullish suspects already many here are questioning why the home office didn't just use the tools they were he had. seen london or reports say one of the suspects in the brutal

killing was considered a low risk by m i five despite numerous warning signs dating back as far as two thousand and three investigative journalist tony as these revelations raise only more questions about the fish and sea of british intelligence. how did these guys who were right at the very top of the terror watch list their x l maturing people how on earth did they not get spotted preparing for some kind of terror act what was the car bug for example this is one question that hasn't been answered m i five have gone very quiet on all these kinds of topics they've got something like four thousand staff m i five and if they can't keep an eye on the people who are very top of the watch list then there needs to be a real shake up and heads need to roll there the over so it of the security services really needs to be looked at there isn't any proper oversight and what these intelligence services seem to do every time is to hide behind the veil of national security we can't tell you what's going on even the inquiry that's been

instituted into the failures of what happened last wednesday is going to be kept entirely secret and i'm afraid it's time for them to come out from under their shells and get a proper looking at so that this kind of thing really can't happen again and they're not going to play this game could assure you of saying we need more money we need more power and we need more surveillance of the general population because that all of the laws they needed to stop these people doing what they did last wednesday they don't need any more power whatsoever. how preparations are in full swing as the clock counts down for the latest space launch from the steps of cassava stand. next mission to the international space station will be bound for the orbiting complex tonight parties rars as she looks ahead in a few minutes plus we'll bring you the launch bly later on. also we'll report on the alarming rise of the alleged mobs in egypt carrying out what they deemed to be justice.

year old civil servant from the nile delta is one such victim he was brutally murdered and hung from a tree in broad daylight. the crowd thought that he was a thief because he's mentally ill the first blow came from behind on the back of his head and then part of his skull was hacked off the second here it was to his chest and they caught him open. i'm sorry story is not unique since the two thousand and eleven revolution have been at least seventeen similar lynchings in this region alone the most high profile victim who was killed last week was the son of a leading member of the missing brotherhood's political party security forces for their part say they aren't able to control the situation particularly when entire villages are involved in these big mobs rights advocates like karim and nora say the lynchings which are on the rice are symptomatic of the state's continued failure to provide security and justice these entries in cases of lynching and

communal violence and people taking just isn't on hand but always a very visible sign of just increasing lack of face into. his level face into the criminal justice system and obviously people in egypt have always had a negative inviting relationship with the police and the not very good relationship with if they should leave it that has even become worse after the revolution officials from the ruling freedom and justice party and the police admit that the authorities are reluctant to confront suspected more killings fear of backlash however local party leader ahmed shah hearts who personally knew one of the victims maintained security is improving post revolution egypt has experienced one of the best revolutions in history the country's being healed very quickly we're almost in a stable situation there will be security we have a plan for the economy and security breach it this is

a little consolation for the families of victims like sabri who have seen no justice. the local security chief said just give me one the rest in twenty four hours now was darfur has been dead for fifty days and security director has done nothing. against the backdrop of escalating civil unrest off the revolution many fear this violence is here to stay and that the worst could be yet to come. both true for our show came. on top of growing vigilante actions there are also the constant protests against the leadership of president morsi and he's muslim brotherhood party blogger and anti-government activists while as can there are things edge of face a severe economic and social decline as a ruling elite obsesses over maintaining power. the great danger right now is that no reforms are done the greatest danger for egypt is the collapse of the economy and you know the the people revolting and the government not being able to sustain

the rule the society needs to be based on justice in whatever form it takes where the resources are given to those who need it rather than the elite we have we have a horrible social security in that if you don't want political unrest you have to feed people you have to give them shelter you have to solve their problems. this is not been the case for the muslim brotherhood they they are just solidifying their rule and they're not sharing power with anyone if they focused more about solving the problems collectively in egypt together with all the parties involved they would have a bigger chance but at the moment they're just trying to monopolize power. so what we need to do really is just focus on the real problems and get everyone together to work on them whether they're economic or political. and align right now here in r t a senior u.n.

sold to do with the current crisis is the fact that. the industry in europe is receding but it is a long term trend in terms of losing market shares in many countries so just to confirm that the almost twenty seven million if i'm not mistaken unemployed in europe it's still hard to find at least five hundred thousand engineers that they're saying no f. ing the just meet skill mismatch as we can call it is a concern but it's only of a very a part of of the problems in southern europe you also have the the cost and price competitiveness so for this countries you have the question of the mix of what you produce what you can export but certainly yes. skill mismatch is still so rightly pointed out thank you very much for that well if you just look at the industrial production numbers right now in the e.u. with still more than that via ten percent below it's a crisis high in two thousand and eight but again europe's competitiveness comes to
