international news and comment from our studio center here in moscow this is. russia has hit out at the decision to drop the syria it was counterproductive towards finding a diplomatic solution moscow says the move could scuttle next month's international conference on syria. has the latest. according to foreign minister lavrov the whole idea of supplying weapons to non governmental entities or rebels in this case is illegal and goes against all international laws and agreements signed by all members of the european union look at the syrian opposition in general then there is not one single force which could represent it as a tool it's as divided as they get plus some groups within the opposition or within the rebels or internationally recognized terrorist organizations another thing that

the foreign minister talked about. the events we've been witnessing recently around syria i raising a lot of concern that some forces are trying to undermine all the previous efforts to restore peace in the country including the upcoming peace conference which just planned to take place in geneva there was a loss of international work going on around it including some progress made by russia and the united states progress which perhaps may now be lost the foreign minister made the comments after meeting with the u.s. secretary of state and the french foreign minister in paris and added that moscow now plans to make a shipment of three hundred defense systems to syrian authorities under a deal that they reached back in two thousand and ten before the conflict in syria even started pointing out that the s. three hundred air defense systems could only be used for defense purposes and not to attack any civilian objects plus there shipments and do not violate any

international agreements while the shipments of weapons to the rebels do. break of killings in syria once fresh supplies reach the rebels based on what's been happening in the conflict in the past two years syrian activists have been monitoring surges and. they've been tied to an influx of from abroad but according to the. these figures we have here on screen which r.t. aired earlier this month casualties rose sharply after the verse shipments from qatar reportedly arriving back in twenty twelve and then the sharpest increase came when more advanced arms were allegedly delivered a few months later or journalist and broadcaster neil clark says that europe could end up paying the price in blood for supporting the rebels there hell bent on wanting one thing alone against the violent overthrow of president sat in the dark in syria they don't want peace we've had ample opportunity for peace in the last
3:04 pm
two years and every time rebel groups have stated they might want to negotiate it's the us that held 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 hundred percent sure that britain and 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 group and across the world and so you know we've we've got a real problem 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 in radical islamists and so people ought to wake up to the fact that the british government is actually siding with these radical groups operating well the u.s. has criticized russia's decision to supply air defense missiles to the syrian government lottie's maria port not joining us with details of the reaction from
3:05 pm
washington so why is the u.s. against russia's move and also what is washington stance on the e.u. lifting its arms embargo. well let's let's go to the issue first the united states is showing no concern over the expiration of the e.u. arms embargo on syria which is set to lapse in the coming days the deputy spokesperson for the state department patrick ventrell says that washington welcomes this step because it would give greater flexibility of specific member states to support the opposition as they see fit now of course that greater flexibility means that countries like britain and france will be able to ship arms and ammunition to to the opposition groups in syria which would then use possibly in an effort to overthrow the government and even went on to say that easing the e.u. arms embargo sends a message to syrian president bashar al assad that support for the opposition will only increase but the u.n.
3:06 pm
meanwhile is sending its own messages of double standard let's remember that washington has been fiercely critical of russia's transfer of anti-aircraft aircraft missiles to the assad government now while moscow's maintained that it has been fulfilling defense weapons contracts that were signed long ago with syria washington believes that it's wrong for for moscow to fulfill any contracts because civil war is taking place there and whatever contracts russia is fulfilling could be used to inflame the conflict taking place there but yet now the u.s. is welcoming possible flow of arms to the syrian rebels with this e.u. arms embargo on syria expiring now it's also worth noting that just a few weeks ago u.s. secretary of state john kerry was in moscow he traveled there and pledged to the u.s. will work closely with russia and the bloodshed in syria kerry and foreign minister sergey lavrov and sergey lavrov underscored their commitment to the communique
3:07 pm
signed in june last year which calls for a transitional government to be established in syria that includes both sides but how can the international community get to the point. if european union members with the support of the u.s. are now considering to actually flood syria with even more arms experts believe that our being the syrian rebels will ignite an arms race in that country and so far according to the un the conflict there has claimed the lives of more than eighty thousand people and if more weapons flow into the country to arm the syrian rebels this crisis because of it could of course be exacerbated even further. and thanks very much indeed for that. live in new york. where we've got the latest updates from syria both on air and online on our web site has more stories and now this is all the conflict including how another journalist has been killed while reporting from the front lines a prominent correspondent was sniper all covering clashes near the lebanese border

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 secretary to reason may says it's essential that police are granted the powers to 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 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 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 were ready had. seen london reports say one of the suspects in the brutal killing was considered a low risk despite numerous warning signs dating back as far as two thousand and three interesting journalist tony goals like these revelations raise only more questions about the british intelligence. how did these guys who were right at the very top of the terror watch list their x l maturin people how on earth did they not get spotted preparing for some kind of terror act and what was the car bugged 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 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 sure you of saying we need more money we need more power and we need more surveillance of the general population because they all the laws they needed to stop these people doing what they did last wednesday you don't need any more power whatsoever. preparations are almost done and dusted in baikonur the clock for the space launch from the steps of the next mission to the international space station will be bound for the complex in just over and. he

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 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 the muslim brotherhood they are just sort of defying 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
