u.k. armed forces admit to holding dozens of suspected militants without charge at a british base in afghanistan and now the public and parliament want to know why they were kept in the dark over the detentions. you want to fish oils and top diplomats urged britain and france to drop their plans to supply weapons to the rebels in syria while opposition factions accuse each other of betraying the revolution. and jobless and in jeopardy e.u. leaders warned of the blocks seven point five million young unemployed need work soon or they'll be driven into the arms of extremism.

this is r.t. coming to you live from the russian capital and marina josh welcome to the program . now britain's confirmed it's holding up to ninety afghan nationals at its cam bastion base in afghanistan without charge it's thought some have spent more than a year in detention lawyers say the u.k.'s actions are unlawful drawing a parallel with america's notorious guantanamo bay sarah first has a story. 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 bastion now he said that it was observed 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 and that this. tention now the rules dictate that british forces are only allowed to hold detainees to ninety six hours unless there are exceptional circumstances the last november we saw the defense secretary. change the rules at a 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 a british troops that are looking for a safe harbor wait for transfer of these detainees the safety of british troops also it comes into this these men who are being held some of the notorious some of then have links to involvement with i e d's so i think really making the point here that these are dangerous individuals that could present a direct threat achieve which is to 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 helpless 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 now as well earlier i spoke to rosa curling a lawyer of one of the detainees who said that the government has repeatedly declined her firm access to her client. my client is a young man these approximately about twenty years old he is married with one daughter he's afghan and that's not going to stand we have been instructed by his

brother and by his uncle because he was captured and tamed by the brits in august last year two thousand and twelve and today he is still being detained by them so nine months on his uncle and brother are starting to really find out why he was being detained and to try to get access to him so we can provide him with legal advice so far we have still not been able to gain access to our client and we still haven't been able to speak to him we've written to the government we've asked them to make sure we can speak to him and so far they've refused but because of that refusal we have to apply to the u.k. courts here and ask the court to order the u.k. government to give us access we can see no lawful basis on which this our client is being detained by the u.k. government and the u.k. and. that's why we have made an application to the court the hague the a school has application asking him to for him to be brought to court and to be released and be

explained on what basis the u.k. government is stating that they can continue to detain him he has had no charges given against him as far as we're aware and as i said we've had no access to mature . and later on t.v. will tell you how the past masters of secret detention have been tracked so that you can see what they've been doing. anyone a with internet access can see when to where and how the cia's rendition victims have been transferred our correspondent lifts the lid very shortly here in our to. the meantime more countries are joining the chorus of warnings against lifting the e.u. arms embargo on syria which expires on friday after some european officials voiced their concerns canada's foreign minister has said giving weapons to the rebel forces will only lead to more death and destruction the u.n. human rights chief has the statement britain and france maintain they all have the

right to start arming the syrian opposition and washington's backing them russia though says that any such moves will be in violation of international law and that the lifting of the e.u. embargo could derail next month's syria peace conference in geneva for details from artie's more important. 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 quinn trial says that washington welcomes this step because it would give greater flexibility of specific e.u. 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 all 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.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 is. 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 pledge that 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 meanwhile the syrian opposition has let along a fresh line leading rebel factions inside a conference don't have slammed the exiled umbrella group told the syrian national coalition for failing to represent the revolution and the aston see itself meeting

in turkey has still not the sign of whether it will go to geneva next month r.t. contributor afshin rattansi says the rebels have no incentive to talk peace. the six days of talks in istanbul among the opposition groups seem to be failing disastrously as it was if you were in a room with the witches of george sabra general salim idriss. interest is already said he's disappointed it's noble foreign of the you should be sleeping over there weapons right now forget about the friday deadline generously images very disappointed that we don't have any patients anymore their people are old defecting to the brigades that obama put on the terrorist list. basically they're in disarray already so the fact that they were going to not they said they didn't want to come to the level of kerry arranged talks even before we get to them and all go. all the interest to do any kind of peace are they interested in carving out bits of syria

in ways that they're proxy leaders saudi arabia and more interested in is now becoming a fight between those two. it's a very complicated situation that waded into and of course has been said many times the blowback will be appalling. movement in lebanon has reportedly sent more reinforcements across the border into syria to fight alongside government forces there against the rebels the armed opposition has threatened to retaliate against hezbollah unless the intervention stops meanwhile in lebanon itself clashes are continuing between backers and opponents of syrian president bashar assad the spillover has raised fears of a region wide sectarian war and that's an issue that will be debated at three thirty pm g.m.t. in cross talk with people about. the. movement of his

will to refashion itself as a defender of arab nationalism is going to go over well it has always been we. projected itself as a defender against israel we might and i. transform itself into an effective governing force and so now this move to become some kind of regional powers. but they are rational measure like i got to do it at franklin gently you got to disagree without if i can first of all they have a proven themselves to be a very effective governing power but what they did in two thousand and six rebuilt two hundred fifty two homes they are planning flowers trees all over the third other good and right when they're not the government is for example is the government loaded on theirs and the rate of the economic is talking about dominate through one of the parties are going to know they are going to really concentrate they're not and they're rolling out and they're calling the shots in parliament of course to the government and i think that the point is the goal of this vote is that the secretary and his owner didn't start that way but it's being but it's

being increased by all sides. transferring terror suspects to secret prisons was supposed to be a strictly cia only affair not anymore now you just need to hit the internet log on to solve the dark puzzle of its global rendition network thanks to two british universities explains. 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 scanned 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 come attend the 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 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 firm 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 needle proceedings on behalf of some of that is how. we live 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 their system as it

transported them around the world to hold them in prisons where they could be tortured and interrogated 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 tend to process thank you so much more quickly this was a breakthrough from 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. also how this hour here on our t.v. frankenstein food meets shady security the american giant behind g.m. crops tries to head off broadcasters by cozying up to than it already is blackwater group. and was one of four young people in europe out of work we report from britain where the stagnant job market is leaving in new

graduates with no our blood. for their skills that's coming up shortly here in our stay with us. a clear image of iraq after invasion. twenty day taxi trip through the country. the road full of dangerous. clear evidence from north to south. the roots of iraqi tragedy. after the war waiting for peace. by god taxi on our t.v. . you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sleek you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't have time part of the big picture.

welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow europe's facing dire warnings over its soaring youth unemployment rate labor and finance ministers from the largest nations say that if no action is taken now an entire generation could fall by the wayside seven point five million people under the age of twenty five are out of work across the block the figures are particularly alarming in southern europe youth unemployment in greece and spain

is now over fifty percent and the president of france where more than a quarter of youngsters are jobless has warned out the situation is becoming dangerous francois hollande spoke of anger and hatred brewing among young people while their governments fail to improve their prospects economies dr stephen davis told us that the situation is a ticking time bomb. it's actually a minor miracle that this hasn't lead to more serious social and political unrest and it has already one of the things that history tells us is that lots of only employed young men is a very very dangerous situation that's the kind of thing that historically could lead to really serious trouble not just in terms of say for example rising crime but also serious civil disorder or political problems of one kind or another really big cause for the very high rates of unemployment in general amongst young people particular is the catastrophic effects of the euro and all of the attempts being made the desperate attempts that are being made that is to keep it going what

really needs to be done is changing labor market regulations throughout europe 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 improved transfer young people. about a million of britain's jobless are young people even those who've graduated from college are struggling to get the most basic employment as paulie boy call now reports. 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 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 got a mile or a phone call saying this i have a job. it's madonna go and see like some places my c.v.

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 the to me very soon jennifer nish the college paper 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 you know be difficult but i didn't merely think i would be out of work to slow 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 use 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 china sends i shed loads of see the. applications and you know i know from person experiences lot was from with may this well 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 president of the year be in central bank has even told on governments to tackle the issues before it leads to social unrest youth unemployment is one of the big it's probably. 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 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 bit to pill to swallow i feel the fact though i've gone to university i've gained an internship so i shouldn't really be in this position i wiped off i've done everything the 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 particularly worries me as i am going to be competing with even more people who make up the mumps i do feel like i'm kind of stuck at the moment is not really much i can do for them i'm already tense trying to out of a jenna and others and britain's lost generation the outlook has never been so uncertain. something will turn up i'm a great believe or not but you know. hopefully there police. now more world news for you and a man suspected of stabbing a french soldier last week may have acted on his religious beliefs that's from prosecutors who spoke shortly after police arrested a suspect in a paris suburb who was identified through fingerprints surveillance footage shows

a man reciting a muslim prayer just minutes before attacking the assault is thought to have been inspired by the murder of a british soldier in london a few days earlier by a man shouting as the mist slogans. hundreds of buddhist men have stormed a muslim area of the law in northern myanmar hurling rocks at buildings and brandishing iron rods riding was sparked by reports that a muslim man set fire to a buddhist woman on to use a buddhist torch to a muslim school a mosque and several shops in retaliation muslims make up around five percent of the population myanmar last year almost two hundred were killed and one hundred forty thousand displaced a deadly outbreak of sectarian violence there. the u.s. military claims to have killed the deputy chief of the pakistani taliban in a drone strike in the country's troubled north waziristan province the attack targeting house reportedly left seven people dead this comes just days before

pakistan's newly elected government takes over one of the major pledges of incoming data has been to put an end to u.s. drone strikes. the american by a tag giant monsanto has reportedly launched a major operation to stifle public protest against its genetically modified food products the company is allegedly getting help from major security contractors as r.t. is going to count the reports. 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 before to collect intelligence on

anti monsanto activists as well as 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 go to iraq to 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 and continued 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 if it is for groups that could pose a risk to the company its personnel and its global operations end of quote monsanto

denies having the program blackwater's possible infiltration into anti-male central works but according to documents secured by the nation magazine jeremy scahill monsanto was willing to pay a sizable sum up to five hundred thousand dollars for black border agents to infiltrate and time and central organizations this report once again raised the question to what lengths 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 genetically modified badass. they say the least a company can do is to label the products that contain a g.m.o. so that people at 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 activists with the help of
