secrets of the campus britain's prime minister enjoys a tour of the u.k.'s main base of ghana stand up to ninety suspected militants or held their charge. over lawyers that that's why this is being is the quote the realty that was completely off the radar and have cold comparisons with guantanamo bay we've got all the latest on that story boy coming right up. this comes as u.k. academics map out cia rendition flights shedding light on america's secret overseas prisons. washington blasts russia for its anti-aircraft missile supplies to syria but backs the end of the e.u. arms ban to pave the way for direct aid to rebel forces.

three pm in moscow watching r t i'm marina joshie welcome to the program now up to ninety afghan nationals are being held without charge at the british army's camp bastion in afghanistan lawyers say the detention of the er clients is unlawful drawing comparisons to guantanamo bay or to sara first has the details. we heard a fairly robust defense for the defense secretary philip hammond this morning when he confirmed that around eighty or ninety afghan detainees are being held in camp bastian now he said that it was a desert to suggest that britain is running a secret detention facility and this comes on the back of u.k. lawyers who are acting on behalf of some of these detainees speaking out they've launched a legal action saying that some of these men have been held for up to fourteen

months of that and that this amounts to a little detention now the rules dictate that british forces are only allowed to hold detainees the ninety six hours unless there are exceptional circumstances the last november we saw the defense secretary. change the rules and hold the transfer of detainees captured by britain's streets to afghan security forces after there were concerns that they would be abused or tortured british troops that are looking for a safe path wait for transfer of these detainees the safety of british troops also comes into this these men who are being held some of the notorious some of them have links to involvement with i e d's so i think really making the point here that these are dangerous individuals if you present a direct threat achieved with the streets if you listen to what the lawyers have come out and say they've used that word secret facility and they've actually said

that it's reminiscent of the public's awakening that there was a ground based the u.k. law is has been very clear here that parliamentarians did not know about this that this was not known to the british public so you've got the defense secretary on the one side saying you know this is very different to guantanamo bay in a number of very important respects predominantly that this is for the detainees protection and also that this wasn't a secret that the people have known about it and this is being spoken about and you've got the u.k. lawyers saying you know hang on a second absolutely not this was a secret facility and this is the public awakening. keeping prisoners overseas is also been a hot topic as far as the u.s. is concerned but now the shroud of secrecy as been partially lifted we'll show you how to track down some of cia's secret rendition flights and the fate of the prisoners a little later in the program here in our t.v. . now washington is welcomed a lifting of the arms embargo on syria in support of the opposition but has

criticized russia's plan delivery of anti-aircraft missiles to damascus moscow says the last 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 by the u.k. and france has now opened the floodgates for weapons to flow to the syrian rebels with the country's main opposition bloc already urging the e.u. to start sending arms twenty five member states opposed the ban saying it would only add fuel to the conflict they say arms could easily reach extremist groups fighting in the ranks of the opposition parties marina board now has the details 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 than trial 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 france will be able to ship arms and ammunition to all to the opposition groups to. that was 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. 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 maintain that it has been fulfilling defense weapons contracts that were signed long ago with syria washington believes that it's wrong for her 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 all possible flow of arms to this 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. sergey 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 that point if european union members with the support of the us are now considering to actually fled syria with even more arms experts believe that our being the syrian rebels will ignite an arms freeze 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 would of course be exacerbated even further fears of an upsurge in killings in syria if french arms supplies reach the rebels are based on what's been happening in the conflict zone over the past two years well syrian activists have been monitoring the surges in violence which appear to be correlated to an influx of arms from abroad according to figures casualties rose sharply after the first shipment arrived from qatar reportedly in twenty twelve and the sharpest increase came when more advanced arms were allegedly delivered a few months later a london based contributor 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 as ban ki-moon of the united nations together the united nations is a place for peace because this is obviously england and france to be doing the supposedly american russian plan for june geneva talks the six days of talks in istanbul among the opposition groups seem to be failing disastrously as if you were in a room with the wishes of george sabra general. already said he's disappointed it's not all foreign of the use of the shipping of the weapons right now forget about the friday deadline no i think the opposition is though divided i'm hearing that anyway they were going to come to the dogs so are they interested in any kind of peace or are they interested in carving out bits of syria in ways that their proxy leaders saudi arabia and qatar are more interested in and russia's foreign minister has sharply criticized

a draft resolution on syria to be considered by the united nations top human rights body the draft can damage the syrian government for its use of heavy weapons against civilians and point the help of foreign fighters in the besieged border town of qusayr sergey lavrov said that the document was one sided and would complicate the search for a political settlement. more groom weaselly new promotion of the u.n. human rights council resolution on syria is nonproductive to my great surprise we've learned that apart from its co-authors which are qatar and turkey the us is most actively promoting the resolutions that which is quite unhelpful the decision to end the syrian involved is making the situation even more complicated hampering peace initiatives in the run up to the talks in geneva so there's no other way than to call a peace conference and not let double standards prevail. lebanese hezbollah fighters

actively supported syrian forces in retaking the city office a year from rebel control sparking violence across the border on wednesday lebanon ordered tanks to tripoli in an attempt to prevent further clashes between supporters and those who backed the syrian opposition this comes just days after the country's has pledged allegiance victory to cause this group's changing role in the region is causing fears of all out sectarian war as gas are discussing in a few minutes on crosstalk. the. movement of his will to refashion itself as a defender of arab nationalism is going to go over well it has always been only. projected itself as a defender against israeli might and i fail to transform itself into an effective governing force and so now this move to become some kind of regional power is. rational measure i got i got to do it had franklin jump in it got to disagree

without if i can first of all they have a problem of how to be a very effective governing power but what they did in two thousand and six rebuilt two hundred fifty two homes they are planting flowers trees all over there another good interact with another go over there for example is the government loaded on there's a rate of over there going on they are talking about monday through one of the parties are going to the money they are going to wear the concert but they're not and they're rolling out and they're calling the shots and part about of course the government and i think that the point is also it's sectarianism or didn't start that way but it's being but it's being increased by all sides. and you'll find a line of just how far the u.s. could go in syria reports say the pentagon's planning a range of military options including a no fly zone as well as arming the opposition fighters. and senator

john mccain a staunch advocate of u.s. military aid to the syrian opposition sneaks into the country to meet with top rebel commanders a look at what could be behind this friendship. 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 are able to shine a light on some of the so-called cia black sites by compiling a comprehensive database aren't easily see if you ask you shows you how to access that information and talks to 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's 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 site 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 kent 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 the need will proceed in this on behalf of some of the detainees we rely very heavily on the work of the u.k. legal action terracing 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 . a main aim was to try and match 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 have the cia managed to hide individuals in the system as it transported them around the world to hold them in prisons where they could be tortured and interrogated and our purpose therefore is 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 and also i had young and desperate to find a job we bring you expert opinion on skyrocketing youth unemployment across europe .

engulfing the neighborhood syria's civil war to spread across the border into lebanon hezbollah defiantly promises victory over such enemies indeed it would appear hezbollah interest intend to steadfastly stand by their ally in damascus the taking of sides like the pleats and the stakes for the entire middle east couldn't be higher. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporation to rule the day.

welcome back you're watching r.t. coming to life from moscow skyrocketing hughes unemployment is becoming the greatest concern for european nations new leaders are sounding the alarm over an entire generation which they fear will never find jobs at a conference in paris germany italy and france have urged for action to avert a continent wide catastrophe dr steven davis from the inside of economic affairs says youth unemployment is a ticking bomb. it's actually a minor miracle that this hasn't lead to more serious social and political unrest that it has already i mean one of the things that history tells us is that only

employed young men a very very dangerous situation that's the kind of thing but historically could lead to really serious trouble not just in terms of say for example rising crawling but also serious civil disorder or political problems of one kind or another state . improving the quality of the education system the sort of it simply means in many cases the way but also changing labor market regulations which are making it very difficult and very expensive to employ young people supply side reforms that side won't cost a penny but they would bring about significant group transfer young people. while the e.u. leaders were sharing their worries are really younger generation at a meeting in paris the u.k. skipped the conference the country's department for work and pensions didn't explain why britain wasn't represented despite its use on employment rate over twenty percent artie's probably boyko met some of those on a desperate hunt for jobs. i have been trying for a while now pretty much every day just coming seabees the rounds going on the

computer for a couple of hours a day trying to get anything because i want a job because i want to be able to look you know i'm earning this money which you know no one does kind of knock me down every time i kind of go and think i really would actually like to do this and i've got this interview and. i go i email or a phone call saying how the door knocks me down to go and see like some places i see probably hasn't actually been seeing if i'm going to get someone for a job that they know ten times but they're going to give it to me very soon jennifer nish to college eva six months ago she's one of almost a million meet in the u.k. not in employment education or training i kind of always know it be difficult but i didn't really think i would be out of work but still the opposition labor party says the number of jobless young people has almost tripled since the coalition came

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 see the. applications and you know i know from person experiences like what's wrong with the swell of young people trying and failing to make it on to the child ladder has led to talk of a generation lost to austerity not just in britain but in the whole of recession hit europe the president of the european central bank has even called on governments to tackle the issues before it leads to social unrest 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. less for the rest of your life can you imagine

applying for jobs every day and getting rejected what that does to your self-esteem feel confidence feel so young people who forked out thousands of pounds for a degree of finding the reality of recession hit britain a bitter pill to swallow i feel the fact that going to university i've gained an internship that i shouldn't really be in this position i have done everything society has told me to. i'm still going to be very fun to do and it's very scary because at this time of year and a new bunch of graduates is going to hit the job market so that particularly worries me as i'm going to be competing with even more people in a couple of months i do feel like i'm kind of stuck at the moment is not really much i can do for them i'm already trying to out for jenna and others and last generation the outlook has never been so uncertain.

that. something will turn up i'm like right believe or not but you know. claire. dallas take a look at some other stories from around the world. that a cargo train carrying chemicals hit a trog before derailing and exploding setting the surrounding buildings ablaze in the u.s. state of maryland only the truck driver sustained injuries in the accident this is the third major derailment in the u.s. this month alone was a two previous ones injuring nearly one hundred people. thousands of protesting students in the chilean capital santiago have once again faced riot police anger over the quality of the country's schools has been simmering for months with demonstrations commonplace in chile. now g.m.

of food giant monsanto has apparently been preparing to answer its critics with the help of big time security organizations a recent wave of global rallies against the corporation's genetically modified products have followed allegations up and santa has hired blackwater affiliates to counter the protests or she's going to count has more. people who work with monsanto what this building certainly know about the worldwide protests over the weekend against their company and its global mortgage against the giant producer of 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 the forum 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 channels 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 shell companies or subsidiaries and continue to getting lucrative contracts despite being under intense criticism for reckless conduct so monsanto hired one of those companies called total intelligence solutions which belongs 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 a boat and sent to denies having the program blocked by this possible infiltration into in time and sent to work but according to documents secured by the nation magazine jeremy scahill monsanto was willing to pay a sizable up to five hundred thousand dollars for black border agents 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 market genetically modified products they say believes the company can do is to label the products that contain a g.m.o. so that people with these 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 activists with the help of the company related to the new taurus private mercenary army that is yet to be uncovered in washington i'm going to check them. out so you spacecraft carrying the next crew of the international
