to six pm moscow you're watching r.t.m. or even josh it 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 meant 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 way to go now reports. i did say that it was the wind 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 this shipment 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 ripping syria apart for more than two years at this point
10:02 am
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 and 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 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 qaida 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 to get secretary of state were meeting here in paris and their efforts were directed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict 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
10:03 am
conference which is due to take place sometime next month course even though the peace conference efforts are continuing we have to understand that this lifting off the ban on arms embargo to syria is opening an entirely new phase 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. decision to drop the syria arms embargo as counterproductive towards finding a diplomatic solution moscow says it will continue to supply air to fans missiles to damascus calling in a balance designed to deter foreign interventions in syria are to shawn thomas explain the details to me earlier. the first thing you have to understand is that 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
10:04 am
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 to senators 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 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.
10:05 am
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 the 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 contracts blood herriot 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 it profound its hothead regimes other countries foreign forces from getting involved. now fears of an al break 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 while syrian activists have been monitoring insurgent violence and time and time again they have been tied
10:06 am
to an influx of arms from abroad well according to these figures which r.t. aired earlier this month casualties rose sharply after the first shipments from qatar reportedly arrived in twenty twelve and the sharpest in chris came when more advance arms were allegedly delivered a few months later a journalist and broadcaster neil clark says europe could anna paying the price in blood for supporting the rebels there hell bent on one thing the one thing alone against the overthrow of president assad and the bottom in syria they don't want peace we had ample opportunity for peace in the last two years and every time rebel groups have stated they might want to negotiate the us will have them back so it's very important to understand that what they want is regime change they don't want peace and i think that will be a massive blow got published because there's no doubt it's time to the central to britain france and more weapons into the stream of it will end up in the hands of
10:07 am
groups. and al-qaeda groups and these will come back to be used against british citizens in group bass and across the world and so you know we've we've got a real problem if you go to a pretty conservative government that's actually lining up on the same side as al qaeda and islamic extremists in syria just a few days after they were the terror attack in london when every soldier was killed in about radical islamists and so people want to wake up to the fact that the british government is actually siding with these radical groups are afraid. now i just got the latest updates on syria both on air and online our website has more stories and analysis of the conflict including how another journalist have been killed while reporting from the front lines in prominent for a regime correspondent was gunned down by a sniper while covering clashes near the lebanese border but the tales are online r t v dot com.

hundreds of far right protesters rallied in london on monday after the cold blooded murder of a soldier last week ten people have been arrested in connection with the case and a new task force has been set up to focus on radical preachers meanwhile the home secretary is demanding extra powers for law enforcement agencies the details now from 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 snooping. is back in the spotlight paying
10:09 am
secretary theresa may says it's essential that police have granted the power as access data communications in order to tackle terrorism that means being able to view citizens skype histories web browsing and e-mail histories whether or not such a law 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 and at the same time the home 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 willage suspects
10:10 am
already many here are questioning why the home office didn't just use the tools they were he had. seen london and reports say one of the suspects in the brutal killing was considered a low risk by and i five despite numerous warning signs dating back as far as the two thousand and three investigative journalist tony gosselin says these revelations the reason we 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 or what was the car bugged for example this is one question that hasn't been answered m i five are gone very quiet on all these kinds of topics they've got something like four thousand staff m i five and if they can keep an eye on the people who are very top of the watch list then there needs to be a real shake up the over so if the security services really needs to be looked at there isn't any proper oversight and what these intelligence services seem to do
10:11 am
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 this kind of thing really can't happen again and they're not going to play this game ok to show you 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 you don't need any more power whatsoever and preparations are in full swing as the clock hands down for the latest space launch from the steps of castle stan the next mission to the international space station will be bound for the orbiting complex tonight are these worries she looks at in a few minutes plus we'll bring you the launch why blame iran. also we'll look at cambodia's real fashion victims police round on workers seeking out
