10:03 am
damascus is supportive of an investigation but not one that will lead to an iraqi type of somalia the use of chemical weapons is valued under international law when there are concerns that any kind of suggestions or any kind of proof of the use will trigger international intervention. follow what is the out of the among rebels towards the international peace efforts to resolve the crisis in syria. the syrian national coalition has said that it will not take part in u.s. russia sponsored talks that are scheduled to take place in geneva next month the condition that they have for participating is that iran and hizbullah renounce any involvement in the syrian regime the syrian conflict and only if they do do they say that they will attain those talks this statement does follow the syrian army's advances in the central part of the country but with the european union's arms

embargo not lifted something that the rebels may try might make right to gain the upper hand on the ground now all of this is happening while the first batch of russian and see if this sounds arrives in syria now that's according to the syrian president bashar assad he announced that while speaking on a hizbollah television network moscow has said that it will continue to supply a defense missiles calling it a balance designed to deter foreign intervention in syria the u.s. of course is against the sale it and israel has said that it will act to quote the israeli defense minister to prevent the s. three hundred missiles from becoming operational on syrian soil the ministers say that if the missiles reach syria israel to quote him will know what to do. or paul thanks very much indeed for those updates are middle east correspondent polish near there. well at r.t. dot com we're asking how we use thing the lifting of the e.u. arms embargo will impact the conflict in syria that's r.t.
10:05 am
dot com let's take a look at the results of the site vote so far so as we can see most of those participated in the site vote things that it will only prolong the war costing many more a lives about thirteen percent of the moments say that this will save rebels from losing a war well the rest are somewhat split between two views here some believe this will give the gulf monarchies a new channel to fund the syrian rebels while others saying the lifting of the ban will be used to pressure us or at peace talks to let us know what you think on the issue by logging on to our team dot com and casting your vote there well it's a marriage to that chechen immigrant killed in the united states during questioning over alleged links to one of the boston bomb suspects was an armed law enforcement officials had earlier claimed he attacked an f.b.i. agent with a knife and was shot in self-defense every game to doshas father says he finds that
10:06 am
hard to believe. from the photographs that were sent to me it's evident he was shot six times to the body and once to the head the back of the head it looks like a finishing shot of an assassination to me it looks as if they came to his house like bandits and shot him in cold blood from the photos his house looked like it had been robbed he was questioned for eight hours without witnesses or a lawyer no one can tell for sure what happened there until there's an official investigation the agents say my son attacked them but there were several armed and well trained men even if he lost his temper and became violent they could have restrained him or wound him shoot him in the leg or the arm or the shoulder but what happened was murder complete with a finishing shot maybe my son knew something the police didn't want to come out and they killed him to keep him silent. now the f.b.i. says it's launched its own investigation of the incident but it could take months to complete. where the agency stands on the issue at the time of the shooting up
10:07 am
to half a dozen law enforcement officials including two massachusetts state police troopers and an f.b.i. agent from the agency's boston division were present at the florida condo which was not far from universal studios but the f.b.i. has provided few details after the shooting saying that the matter is being investigated by a specific f.b.i. review team and the f.b.i. may not finish its probe for several months now the f.b.i. meanwhile has been under enormous scrutiny for missing several warnings about tomorrow on the biggest warnings coming from a russian intelligence officials years ago indicating that may have links to extremist groups the f.b.i. for whatever reasons did not follow up and probe the matter to the fullest extent and that some would say led to the execution of the boston marathon double
10:08 am
bombings and now we have this development unfolding were a man that was shot and killed by f.b.i. agents turns out according to the washington post to have been on the arm so clearly the f.b.i. is going to have a lot of questions to answer in the coming days with these new developments on this story. argy dot com has more on the boston marathon bombings and connected cases so low gone for details of the investigation and reaction from officials and relatives of the accused. to the u.k. now were one of the suspects in last week's gruesome killing of a british soldier has been charged in court the broad daylight attack in london set off a barrage of anti muslim and to immigration protests and the immediate aftermath tam mosques were attacked across britain with a number of physical assaults on muslims also reported the far right and to islamic
10:09 am
english to fancily is said to be planning national rallies of more than thirty locations in saudi interior and i fascist groups have called for counter demonstrations to coincide with those protests so more on this now with paul weston leader of the nationalist liberty party mr wesson thanks very much for joining us here on our t.v. well two men were directly involved just two of them in the terrible attack yet thousands of muslims are facing the repercussions and many are speaking out against prejudice so what's your take on that. well my take on it really is. is i don't see any repercussions really we've heard a few things on on some news stories about one particular mosque that had a bomb thrown at it but as far as i'm. as far as i can see this terrible atrocity that happened that was committed in the name of islam on the streets of london has not seen huge recriminations that would have been seen elsewhere in the
10:10 am
world if it had happened any other people we i think have been remarkably constrained and the interfaith groups have been working very hard on it and i don't really see the fact that the a.d.l. are protesting about this as being some sort of a right as it's been described. you know it is a perfectly valid response to a british soldier being killed on the streets of london in the name of israel which the which the media did actually try to cover up which i think was a terrible thing to do and i stand by my initial point that i think we have been remarkably constrained as well let's now talk about another scandal the oxford sex with the ring that was run by a muslim man police knew about it for years so why wasn't something done sooner. well it's it's one of these things that we. heavily propagandized into not being racist in this country and these i'm not going to call it grooming i'm going
10:11 am
to call it sexual slavery which is what it really is and it's being driven by islamic belief that the muslim people through. the women within islam are also inferior so when you put those two things together with. white british girls you have a problem that's been going on since one thousand nine hundred ninety six you know this isn't a recent thing labor and the cryo was talking about this a long time ago in keathley and the worst thing about this is not so much what has been going on from the from the muslim side but the attitude of the british authorities and the british police who spent over a decade covering this up because they thought it would play into the hands of the far right so they deliberately covered up this terrible awful atrocities being committed on a daily basis with thousands of girls in this country with up to fifty four gangs
10:12 am
operating with multiple people in each gang and it was covered up for over a decade which i think is is in a way it's far worse than the murder we saw of fusilier lee rigby the other day well mr instance your party advocates some very harsh policies including a moratorium mosque construction banning prayers in public one just only anger and perhaps radicalized british muslims further alienating communities from each other . well i think the large percentage of the islamic community is already radicalized and we've had reports that thirty three percent of british muslims in universities think killing in the name of islam is we have forty percent of british muslims who would like to see shari'a law operating here it's a terrifying prospect and the trouble we have is not so much which i think can be contained but the future because islam is growing nine times faster than any other
10:13 am
demographic in this country and this is going to be a huge huge problem is their numbers grow because british people rightly upset about this and as the muslim demographic grows this problem isn't going to go away it's going to get worse and the tit for tat atrocities committed by both sides i bought into what is the way how it's building into. is that the obvious question of the way i want is the way out yeah i mean we're trapped in a vicious circle here what can be done i think we're trapped in a very vicious circle that is going to get worse and worse and i don't know how you go about trying to deal rather these people unless you start shutting down mosques which are practicing sedition which are practicing. with saudi funded a lot of this problem comes back to saudi arabia and the radicalization you know take for example the first generation of muslims that came into this country were not radicalized and they came here because they wanted a better life but the second and third generations are being radicalized in the
10:14 am
most of them addresses and it is a growing problem that has to be sorted out and whether we have to start closing down mosque which are practicing hate speech and t. and two female anti anti homosexuality in indigenous people if that's what it has to take then that's what we're going to have to do because this problem is going to get worse and it's not going away all right that was paul western leader of the u.k. celebrity g.v. party thank you so much sir for being with us here in the program. now mohamed shafi from the ramadan foundation tells us that most britons see beyond the hateful agenda they don't represent our community are these very clear and they think the white girls are worthless and they think they can be used and abused in this horrific way and we must stand up against it we need to see real action from the police and the authorities to deal with this threat but we don't see the same
10:15 am
protest as when white people are convicted of child sexual abuse eighty percent of child sexual abuse carried out in this country are carried out by white men yet we don't see the english defense league in the british national party as the fascist groups march in the streets of this country but actually i think the majority of the british people recognize that this is a very small minority of people they don't represent any particular part of our community and actually all people from all parts of our society can be affected by child sexual exploitation now there's more reaction and analysis on this story to common air and online while opinions may differ some parts of the u.k. are experiencing as seismic shift in demographics sarah first reports on why so-called white flight is seeing an accident from cities and suburbs was dominant ethnic populations. london. a multicultural hub known for its thriving diversity spanning the centuries but research by social think tank doubles reveals that while london remains is fighting
10:16 am
to serve a it's perhaps not as integrated as some people might think long periods a huge amount of white flight. income people mainly in the suburbs leaving london because they think it's changed too fast for one of these people is jane kelly having lived in london most of her adult life she's seen first hand the cultural shift is now looking to me for house she fills the area she lives in it's lost all sense of community all people i knew when i moved in here have gone they've all moved away. now mostly flats with very transitory population but perhaps surprisingly it seems many of the older generation of migrants who live around here and he settles and builds up businesses agree that integration is not working as well as it maybe should be ethnic cultural
10:17 am
diversity in london that's part of what makes london so why do you think we're seeing a lot of talk about these are the problems the right to go to zero is foreign people more or less these european people are they just interested to do a short journey and make their money and then run off the country and there's no investment in very very return to their country there's nothing to rebuild the country is only for themselves to make money and you know that's what i first of all i mean i've been to this country when i was like twenty three years old now i'm forty three years old so i'm investing business i'm doing so many things in this country paying taxes back into the country and you know that's the way it has to be in london white brits now make up just forty five percent of the capital's tehsil population. we're here at one of london's busiest train stations and in the working week commuter hard over the course of a decade in london stories white british population for a moment six hundred thousand people lost in the commuter towns on the outskirts
10:18 am
and the populations become more ethnically mixed so you know that white points are leaving london behind the question is why i want to thank their family it's having on the local community they've left behind well there's a certain amount of diversity which is very nice in any city. but when the diversity becomes so extreme that you have. balkanized groups but no actual. traditional communities or the traditional communities around completely by newcomers or newcomers keep on and on rolling in it has a very alienating effect what's been seen across the cape for a long time has been most acute in london but the figures aren't the full story avoiding ethnic communities does play a role in so-called white flight but evidence shows that race may not be the main driver i think the main thing about that white flight reminds us of is that there is a problem the mistake it makes that says the problem is just about ethnicity it's not
10:19 am
it's about age and it's about mixing between people of different incomes and we need to address all these things together there are now concerns britain could see yet another immigration surge at the end of this year when some twenty one million romanians and seven million bug ariens will be free to travel and work across the e.u. only a fraction of those are forecast to actually come here but previous immigration underestimate coupled with white british relocation a changing the face of london's ethnic makeup without much understanding what the full ramifications of that might be. so if they are to see london ratcheting up the cyber tangent the us ploughs billions of dollars into digital warfare. this as president obama prepares to confront china over its online offensive in a meeting next week the stories coming up after a short break. a

welcome back you're watching r t you know china has flatly denied allegations that it has acted into designs for u.s. military hardware including blueprints for the world's most expensive fighter jet but washington isn't taking any chances and is said to be beefing up its cyber capacity for future cyber war while the obama administration has pledged to spend three billion dollars in twenty's thirty's to stave off online hacker attacks wolf forty teams of american suburb agents are to be formed of which thirteen will be engaged in offensive operations are disadvantaged has a story. the cyber race between the u.s. and china is starting to look like
10:22 am
a real arms race it has its drills its spies and both sides accusing each other of cyber attacks this june china will be holding drills with special i.t. units within its army for the first time the chief of the u.s. cyber command general keith alexander says the u.s. is now busy setting up forty new teams of cyber agents that will both protect america's critical infrastructure from hackers as well as launch attacks against the country's adversaries and so that there is no confusion as to their capabilities general keith alexander says quote i would like to be clear that this team is an offensive team the offensive nature of u.s. cyber defense program is emerging new reports which say a large chunk of the country's current cyber endeavors does not rely on defensive strategy as one might imagine but instead involves offensive operations launched with the intent of causing harm on the computers of adversaries a recent reuters article cites defense contractors and government officials most of whom speaking on condition of anonymity and the article says that the us government
10:23 am
has become the biggest buyer in a burgeoning gray market where hackers and security firms sell tools for breaking into computers the u.s. has demonstrated its ability to carry out a cyber attack against a foreign country when they attack the iranian nuclear facilities and similar attacks against the u.s. would be seen as an act of war by the pentagon's own definition there's a certain game of words going on here when it's against the u.s. it's called a cyber attack when it's the u.s. doing it it's called installing software but there would be no cyber race without spice and the latest development here is that the chinese have reportedly hacked into the pentagon's most sophisticated weapons systems leaks confidential report by the defense science board intended for pentagon leaders says two dozen system designs were compromised those systems are said to be critical to u.s. missile defense and aircraft you. officials point to trying to u.s. news outlets run articles with headlines like this one china is winning the cyber
10:24 am
war because they hacked us plans for real war china traditionally denies the accusations of cyber espionage but if the accusation is true if one still has to ask the us what do you expect when they see your cyber forces attacking another country's infrastructure or when they hear you say you are pivoting to asia pacific with all that military gear to counter china in washington i'm going to check them. look at some other stories from around the world in iraq at least sixteen people have been killed and many more injured in a series of bomb attacks mainly in the capital this follows a recent surge of violence that's pushed the country further towards all out sectarian war one explosion in baghdad ripped through a police patrol leaving three officers dead a car blast hit a shiite neighborhood in the capital killing four people and yet another explosion hit a marketplace in central baghdad claiming four winds. a man from the state of north

10:26 am
a patchwork quilt thing here and that is meant to represent the multi ethnicity of russia a record thirty eight hundred of these will be produced and that is because sochi twenty fourteen will be the biggest winter olympics in history and also if you win one of these you will need a very strong net because they do you weigh in at something like over five hundred grams i spoke with jimmy fortunate shanker who chairs the sochi organizing committee and he hoped that when someone does game one of these they will also take away the spirit of russia on a more serious note mr chernyshenko also addressed security concerns and said that the government had taken exceptional steps to guarantee the games would be safe and secure he also talked about the possibility of a lack of snowfall because sochi has experienced a very mild winter but he has said that tons of snow is now being stored under thermal blankets up in the mountains to cover any shortfall essentially the message is sort she is ready and from friday there are only two hundred fifty days to go

and three farmer. simply to spoke. and up next crossing post-war iraq and a cab for a look at the violence play country and baghdad taxi is next. distraction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one spicy issue of the moment and ignore the rest jimbo's are definitely worth the media attention but let's not ignore the fact that the food people eat around the world is an attack from multiple fronts antibiotics are often overused and cattle which can and eventually said they will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria evolving animals are also injected with various hormones which can make their way into our stomachs
10:28 am
and speaking of mysterious things getting into our body pretty much any crops that you we are doused with all sorts of pesticides and sit on top of powerful fertilizers which can affect bodies of water far beyond the fence of the farm obviously technology has been and should be used in farming so we all don't starve i get why pesticides exist and why they start giving diseased animals antibiotics but there comes a point where out putting a lot of poisonous food will kill you just as dead as slowly starving will there is a healthy middle ground out there somewhere but if we only worry about just the g m o's and only won that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff just other bad stuff but that's just my opinion.
10:29 am
on the road to bass for this morning the u.s. army's beginning to withdraw from iraq. in december twenty seventh after nine years of occupation the last american troops are finally leaving the country. every day every gun got in it but if i do have a lot of it ma'am i deserve the iraqi's anger towards the departing invaders who once dreamed of being liberators their departure resembles abandonment and escape despite the optimistic speeches. even. if there's little.
