washington blasted russia for its anti aircraft missile supplies to syria but that's the end of the e.u. arms ban the paves the way for direct lethal aid to rebel forces. tracking terror suspect to say rendition flights are met by british academics to shed light on america's secret overseas of prisons. than. me. and a welcome in spades or three new crew members arrive at the international space station are due was among them seeing them on from the bike cosmodrome.

you watching are two with me to bomb was a bit further to our breaking news this hour up to eighty five afghan nationals are being held without charge at the british camp of esteem in the country that's according to lawyers for eight of the men some have been there for as many as fourteen months campus gym is a large as a british military base in afghanistan housing nearly thirty thousand servicemen and women will have more on that in the next couple of hours but moving on to our other top story washington has welcomed the lifting of the use arms embargo in syria in support of the opposition but has criticized russia's plan delivery of entry aircraft and missiles to damascus moscow says or the as a three hundred systems will help deter foreign intervention and seize the ending of the e.u. . weapons ban as damaging to syria peace efforts now the move led to one of the

u.k. and fronts as an end to the floodgates for weapons to flow to the syrian rebels twenty five member states opposed to saying it would only add to fuel to the conflict now they say arms of the music scene is groups fighting in the ranks of the opposition parties marina has the details. of 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 nobody really 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.s. 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 contract 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 ed. the u.s.

will work closely with russia and the bloodshed in syria kerry and foreign minister sergei lavrov and sergey lavrov underscored their commitment to the communique 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 us 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. crisis because of it could of course be exacerbated even further. fears of an upsurge in killings in syria fresh supplies reach the rebels are based on what's been happening in the conflict zone over the past two

years let's take a look at that syrian activists have been monitoring surges in violence which appeared to be correlated to an influx of arms from abroad now according to the figures that casualties rose sharply after the first shipment from qatar reportedly arrived in twenty twelve and the shoppers the increase came when more advance arms were allegedly delivered a few months later a london based artie's a contributor afshin rattansi believes that the syrian rebels have no interest in peace the european union leaders over the past few days are saying the e.u. is a peaceful organization i think many diplomats around the world have given up on that what we need now maybe is ban ki-moon the united nations together the united nations is the place for peace because this is obviously england and france to predicting the supposed american russian plan for june geneva talks the six days of georgian istanbul among the opposition groups seem to be failing disastrously as if

you were in a room with the wishes of george sabra general salim idriss. it was already said he's disappointed it's not all foreign of the you should be shipping off their weapons right now forget about the friday deadline no i think the opposition is though. i'm hearing that anyway they were going to come to the talks. are they interested in any kind of peace are they interested in carving out bits of syria in ways that. proxy leaders saudi arabia and qatar are more interested in. who's winning the battle for syria now that the arms embargo is set to expire and that was one of the questions subjected to a heated debate on across the program here's a quick snapshot. it is a mode of truth in which the european union union finally lifted its arms embargo on the opposition we have cetera et cetera john mccain visiting syria over the

weekend meeting with opposition forces and we're seeing an alignment of forces in the worst in the european union with turkey that is applying the pie the notion of pressure perhaps that will bring the final inclusion franklin will finally before the break all that a lot that's not at all well for. you guys are all what happened in brussels there was no vote to council sanctions the sanctions are still in place and they're going to be until midnight on friday what they didn't have the votes to do what the british and the americans and certain other of their allies italy wanted to do were taken a further view of formative act to lift the sanctions. that didn't happen so now they're going to die it's actually a defeat for the british particularly. and you'll find online at our t. doug tom i just how far the u.s. could go in syria reports say the pentagon's planning

a range of military options including and none of flies same as well as on the opposition fighters. and senator john mccain is sneaks into syria to meter with time preble commanders on a web site will look at what b.p. hind is this friendship r t v dot com. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule. the u.s. government's transfer of war on terror prisoners to overseas detention centers has been subject to much speculation but now british researchers able to shine the

light on some of those so-called cia black sites by compiling a comprehensive database artie's alexia chefs q. shows you how to access that information and top see one of the creators of the project. written dition revealed from now on you can learn exactly how the cia has been secretly transferring its war on terror detainees across the globe on civic and military aircraft something better known as the rendition program researchers from britain scan university and kingston university have compiled an extensive flights database by going to their indiction project dot gov dot u.k. you can see a detailed graph of more than eleven thousand cia flights performed from two thousand and one to two thousand and six not all of them have been confirmed to have had detainees on board some of those which are marked in blue are described as dummy flights there are also flights which were labeled as highly suspicious meaning there is no substantial evidence that they were transporting suspected terrorists in certain cases there were website designers have ample proof of

detainees travel the full route is described on the map like this one of the suspected al qaeda competent diver who has been locked up in guantanamo for a decade without any charges we can see on the map how he was transported from thailand where he spent eight months in detention after being called to the united arab emirates and then to poland almost a year later he was shifted to guantanamo in that year he spent at the cia black side in poland by the claims he was water boarded eighty three times but how exactly do the masterminds of this project gather the information and what goals they're trying to pursue we'll find out with one of the masterminds of the project mistruth blakeley from the camp university in england many thanks truth for joining us here on my first question would be how exactly you are gathering information on these flights and where did you find to manage all the data. ok most of the information that we have was already in the public domain but was quite frank mentored so we've worked closely with a number of human rights organizations and human rights investigators to bring all

of that information so it comes from freedom of information requests and some of it comes from investigative investigations into particular cases including legal proceedings on behalf of some of that is how. we feel are very heavily on the work of the u.k. legal action charity reprieve which has represented some of the men who are still held in guantanamo bay without charge or trial. what is the point of all this project what are you trying to achieve and what message are you trying to send out . main aim was to try and map the global rendition system to try and provide as comprehensive a picture as possible of higher and higher edition took place which countries were involved and how the cia managed to hide individuals in the system as a transporter from around the world to hold them in prisons where they could be tortured and interrogated purpose there for us to shed as much light as possible on the system with a view to assisting human rights investigators and human rights lawyers to defend

the rights of those people who are victims of these processes thank you so much mr blakeley this was a likely from kent university now the database currently holds more than eleven thousand flights information about them and the masterminds of the website are asking anyone who has any valuable information on these flights to contribute. still to come on the. massive mary's allegations that the genetically modified food giant hides affiliates of an infamous u.s. security firm resurface following world of protests against its. expedition thirty six a safety reaches the international space station just ahead for you we have all the mission details from like.

to power in a bid to combat use on employment the government launched its huge contract a one billion pounds scheme to provide new opportunities to eighteen to twenty four year olds but it hasn't helped i know that john and sons i shed loads of c.b.s. and applications and you know i know from person experiences lot what's wrong with me the swell of young people trying and failing to make it on to the job ladder has led to talk of a generation lost to austerity not just in britain but in the whole of recession hit europe the press. event of the year b. in central bank has even called on governments to tackle the issues before it leads to social unrest or youth unemployment is one of the biggest problems facing britain right now we have nine hundred fifty eight thousand young people unemployed that's one in five out of work for more than a year when you are young you will earn less for the rest of your life your family . will probably suffer your community will suffer and your well being will. you

genetically modified seeds brought together thousands of people in fifty two countries in four hundred thirty six cities including right here in washington d.c. but there are allegations that monsanto is doing more than just following the nation magazine reports that the company hired before to collect intelligence on anti monsanto activists the swellest to infiltrate their ranks the firm that they hired belongs to the same person who owns the infamous security contractor previously known as blackwater blackwater has been in hot water after a number of scandals including the unprovoked killing of the rockies civilians in two thousand and seven you know order to recover to rebrand from bad rap blackwater has changed its name several times and created a web of more than thirty show companies or subsidiaries in continued getting lucrative contracts despite being under intense criticism for reckless conduct so monsanto hired one of those companies called total intelligence solutions which

belonged to blackwater's owner and founder erik prince monsanto says they did nothing wrong by having higher total intelligence solutions which quote provided monsanto security group with reports about it to british or groups that could pose a risk to the company its personnel and its global operations and monsanto denies having the waters possible infiltration in time and sent to work but according to documents secured by the nation magazine jeremy scahill of monsanto was willing to pay a sizable up to five hundred thousand dollars for a life order eight. gins to infiltrate and time and central organization this report once again raised the question to what lens is the g.m.o. giant ready to go to secure its operations especially now with marches all across the globe demanding that the companies stop flooding their markets with genetically modified although they say the least a company can do is to label the products as containing a deer mold so that people with least know what they're eating last week the u.s.

senate overwhelmingly rejected a bill that would allow states to require labeling of genetic genetically modified foods so it appears when it comes to laws and regulations monsanto with its army of lobbyists has won the battle on capitol hill now what tactics if any it has used against anti-male sent to a company related to the new tory private mercenary army that is yet to be uncovered in washington i'm going to check in. now to some of the news making headlines around the world. that a cargo plane hit a truck before draining and exploding setting the surrounding buildings a blaze in the u.s. state of maryland over the trunk drive a sustained injuries this is the third major derailment in the u.s. this month alone with the two previous ones injuring nearly one hundred people. progress the students in the capital santiago have once again face riot police
