international news and comment live from our studio center here in moscow this is. the doors to european weapons sales to the syrian rebels will open on friday when the 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. now reports say that it was their wins 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 the 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 said to syria i will in the hague already said lifting of the arms about those the only way to end the crisis which has been missing syria hard for more than two years at this point having said that we have. 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 it's only 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 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 the u.s. 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

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 up 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 criticised the use decision to drop the syria as counterproductive towards finding a diplomatic solution russia's foreign minister says governments a ban by international law from supplying weapons to governmental organizations like the rebels moscow has decided to go ahead and provide the fence missiles to the syrian state calling it a balance designed to deter foreign intervention in the country renegotiate and told us discuss the details. the first thing you have to understand is that these are old 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 a lot of raavan 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 russia

is defense 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 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 yes that i 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 it profound its hothead regimes other countries foreign forces from getting involved. fears of an outbreak of killings in syria wants fresh supplies reach the rebels are based on what's happening in the

conflict to what's been happening in the conflict zone in the past two years the syrian activists have been monitoring surges involved in some time and time again they've been tied to an influx of alms from abroad according to these figures which earlier this month casualties rose sharply after the first shipments from qatar reported the arrive in twenty eight twelve and the sharpest increase came when more advance arms were allegedly delivered just a few months later which analysts the broadcaster neil clark says europe could end up paying the price in blood for supporting the rebels there hell bent on one thing and one thing alone against the violent overthrow of president assad and the bottle in syria they don't want peace we've 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 help 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 that probably because there's no doubt hundred percent britain france and more weapons into the syrian army will end up in the hands of. al-qaeda groups and these will come back to be used against british citizens in great bass and across the world and so you know we've got a real problems if you've got 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 wreak terror attack in london when it reached old was killed by in radical islamists and so people ought to wake up to the fact that the british government is actually siding with these radical groups are afraid. well if he has the latest updates on syria both on air and online our web site has more stories and analysis of the killing how another journalist has been killed while the porting from the front lines a prominent correspondent was gunned down by sniper covering clashes near the lebanese border the details are online right now r.t. 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 tosca force has been set up to focus on radical preaches meanwhile the home secretary is demanding extra powers for law enforcement agencies the details now from these political. 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 snoopers charter is back in the spotlight the pain secretary theresa may says is essential that police are 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 audible 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 already many here are questioning why the home office didn't just use the tools they already had. the london reports say one of the suspects in the brutal killing was considered a low risk by far the sport numerous warning signs dating back as far as two thousand and three. says these revelations raise questions about the efficiency 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 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't keep an eye on the people who are very top of the watch list then there needs to be a real shake up the oversight 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 you don't need any more power whatsoever preparations are in full swing as the clock kills down for the latest space launch and the steps of kazakstan the next mission to the international space station will be belled for the orbiting complex and late forty's rory sushi looks ahead in just a few minutes from now plus we'll bring you the launch live later on. and also we look at cambodia's real fashion victims police workers seeking

become boringly frequent in brule egypt since the revolution two years ago as citizens increasingly take justice into their own hands. on mr i thirty one 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 security forces for their part say they are unable to control the situation particularly when entire villages are involved in these big mobs rights advocates like karim and nora say they lynchings which are on the rise are symptomatic of the state's continued failure to provide security and justice these

entries in cases of lynching and and communal violence and people picking just isn't at all. 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. good relationship with their dishes even 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 mcinnes to 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 of this is 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 true for our team show came. back on top of growing. vigilante actions there are also the constant protests against the leadership of president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party blogger and anti government activist while asking to fix egypt faces severe economic concerns will decline as the 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 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 net 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 for the muslim brotherhood they are 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. india's rape

scandals are seeing authorities clamped down on provocative window displays mumbai officials are banning americans dressed only in underwear to rid the male population of impure thoughts reported on that online. plus the crane that called to take the strain what footage of the lucky escape for the residents in these apartments it's all on you tube channel right now. is. the. police in cambodia have used batons on clothes workers protesting for better wages

at least twenty three were wounded around three thousand staff mostly women blocked a road outside their factory which makes clothes for sports where john nike. is a professor and dean of school of international affairs and he joins me now. the factories union leader says workers have been staging protests for a week but it took violence to get their voices heard why is that do you think. miliard witnessing a stupid increasing desperation of working people their own the word especially in asia in countries like cambodia and of course the most infamous one being bangladesh fear people are being pushed to the age through cruel and inhuman inhumane practices in industrial sites and this is also having a larger margin national enterprise a lot of the church is based in the western world so the supply chain the global supply chain which is providing cheap clothes and other items for middle class consumers in the western world is basically one where the bottom you have this kind

of extreme brutality and violence that's been meted out the workers and so they're being squeezed literally in the form of you know like a prince or from all sides the workers are being squeezed and therefore they have to resort to the sick remissions so i wouldn't blame them entirely for what is happening of course militant unionism and so on is also a problem in its own right but in these cases in the apple industry you've seen in bangladesh we've seen it in cambodia this is a race to the bottom students are trying to side with multinational corporations against their own people and this is a form of exploitation that there had been predicted long ago but yet they're different from you're seeing it in front of what i see is globalization is worst face and so who should be brought to a celt for the way these workers are treated is it the factory operators themselves or the clothes brands that contract the factories to make their garments. responsibility these contractors and some contractors are even truly earning their

keep. through being given these events from from western headquarters so be sweden or leave london or paris or new york this is weird this is where the source of this exploitative structure is emanating from and the global brands of them to wash their hands off it by saying you know we're serious once we give the local authorities and we don't know who's i do making making these clothes for all of these shoes for us the fact we even in the one nine hundred ninety s. and we have a strict shops campaign against some of these western aberlour and at the city grant they were you know trying to wash their hands of any responsibility but the fact is you know we need to push the case for criminal responsibility for many of these western brands which are trying to say that you know it's not for business the blankies it is because of you and your contracts this entire cycle of violence and repression has been unleashed now

a lot of these factors are in predominantly muslim nations all workers conditions affecting the image of the west which of course they're working for. well you know it's complicated because in the absence of these corporations they would also be exploited to do labor conditions in the mystic girl industries and factories so organization and civilization in these countries it has been to be humanizing process but what is happening to the because of the association with global brands . there is a mosque i'm dressed in the societies against me used as door marks and as you know as sources of cheap labor but the workers themselves often are not even of the end of. so there isn't one specific silence in all of this will explode but just briefly if you are an oil we're responsible we are consumers we want to fordable clothes and of course not many people think about those who actually make them do you think that attitude will ever change. well i think consumer activism

has been there in the midst of society but. because of the economic crises the margins matter so why do gap and one of the other not even willing to invest in this if. we're producing these things for them in faraway land there by years of these gap and wal-mart are also those people who want to use one least in terms of five cents so these are kind of that's what i'm seeing it's an expression of the structure at the core of which you are going to think of all the economic crisis within the western world and how people are finding it hard to make their ends meet so the only ones who are profiting off of these are the worst in my digital operations and nobody else and i do work in one of the. other countries in asia now are are actually the consumers in the worst themselves are getting a raw deal out of their lives because of the continued economic crisis in syria thank you very much and if your thoughts on this professor indian ocean dell school of international affairs live on r.t. talk now for a quick roundup of other world news now and terrorism has taken more lives in the

a u.s. senate committee has passed a bill that if signed by obama will allow the u.s. to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels this seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al-qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army isn't much better they seem perfectly happy to use

rape and beheadings and genocide against christian alawite minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s. funded and armed the taliban and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the u.s. government seems way too eager to arm radical foreigners and disarm average americans when they should be doing the exact opposite but that's just my opinion. a clear image of the iraq story facing. twenty day taxi trip through the country. the roads are. clear evidence
