it is two pm in moscow you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program. now suspected syrian militants have reportedly been detained in turkey with a cylinder of highly poisonous sarin gas found in their possession those arrested are believed to be members of the al qaida linked refund earlier this month you want investigators voice suspicion the nerve agent was being used by opposition fighters moscow is concerned the use of chemical weapons could prompt foreign military intervention in syria argues middle east correspondent policy or has the details the group was seized in southern turkey and that is according to local media reports the media also saying that they carried a two kilogram seven day with the move agent seren britain the united states and france in the past have said that they believe it is a sad however that is using chemical weapons but they haven't been able to prove to

produce any kind of evidence to prove this and the other hand we have them here what we're seeing is fighters from the owners for fund allied with the syrian rebels court with the seven agent guest is important also to point out in the mind of you is that the united nations in the past enormous and independent investigation and that did conclude that there are signs that the rebels have been using this nerve agent now damascus is supporters of an investigation but not one that will lead to an iraqi type of sonora the use of chemical weapons is bad under international law when there are concerns that any kind of suggestions or any kind of proof of the use will trigger international intervention. russia's foreign minister says the case must be investigated and warned against political games getting in the way of the truth. when you look at him we've warned repeatedly of provocations connected with chemical weapons we've also insisted on investigations

into any case related to their possible use including the incident reportedly took place near aleppo we're very disappointed that because of political games the u.n. has failed to act on this we expect our turkish colleagues to quickly provide a full report on this latest case this issue ation is too serious for those who constantly talk about the chemical weapons problem to keep playing games around it each and every incident needs to be investigated and now reports of sarin gas found in rebels possession seems to be falling on deaf ears in the west author and historian gerald horne told us earlier not even the threat of chemical weapon use can shake its support for the syrian opposition. if the syrian government had been caught with serengeti we would have her work hoops from washington london and paris but of course this should not come as a surprise to any he's been paying attention we know that the internationally respected simple sort of ponce had basically made

a similar discovery and revelation on behalf united nations jets weeks ago which then was refuted by the white house we also know that in recent days senator john mccain of arizona entered syria illegally and news reports indicate that he consulted with the white house before entering syria this is a very dangerous turn of events it's clear that there are those in washington who would like to intervene in syria on behalf of the rebels which is quite curious since that al nusra front which has been designated as a terrorist organization by washington is at the tip of the spear in the opposition against president al the saudi. you know while syria's main opposition group to the syrian national coalition says it will not participate in the international peace conference proposed by russia and the u.s. the group side has a law and iranian forces fighting alongside this here in military as a reason for rejecting the meeting this has reports emerge that a u.s. and british citizens have been killed in syria while fighting for the rebels are

going off takes a look now at the syrian opposition and those who might be armed on its behalf. since britain and france blocked attempts to extend the e.u. embargo on supplying arms to the syrian rebels there have been growing fears that the weapons could end up in the wrong hands and this is why the syrian opposition is made up of many divided and often competing factions and clearly there is no force that can represent it as a whole there's the syrian national council the national coalition for syrian revolutionary and opposition forces the supreme military council the free syrian army the international coordination committee the. brigade and many more like to point out that only the n.c.c. says it's open to dialogue with the authorities while all the others have officially proclaimed their goal is to topple the regime the only difference being how extreme their approaches are and here is where these two rebel groups stand out

. is officially recognized as a terror organization by the u.s. it's also known for its links to al-qaeda and for being among the most highly trained rebel forces currently on the ground in syria and the fire brigade perhaps just as notorious after one of its leading commanders was shown eating the body parts of a dead syrian soldier on video but despite warnings raised by international human rights groups including international and human rights watch the rebels have been receiving weapons for some time now according to western media reports the rebels have received one hundred sixty planeloads of arms shipments from jordan saudi arabia quarter via turkey and then with a cargo smuggled across the border here with syria but no matter which rebel group or the arms may be destined for it's also why we recognize that they usually end up in the hands of the best trained and most radical brigades. and we got more on the

developments and around syria on our website also there are some interesting opinions in our op ed section one of the latest entries compares the waves of regime changes and the arab world where the plot of an agatha christie novel all that on r.t. dot com. anger crowds have occupy the main financial institutions in frankfurt to protest against their handling of the crisis the demonstration is expected to draw thousands throughout the day with people accusing the european central bank and others for the painful austerity measures which have caused misery across the continent are just peed all over reports from germany's financial hub. we're hearing from organizers of blokey five twenty thirty minute around three thousand demonstrators are out and about all around the city of frankfurt front foot is europe's major financial hope and the home to the european central bank which is being one of those organizations which the demonstrators taking part have been voicing their anger against because they are of course part of the troika

something that has very much upset a lot of people in europe there the the troika is the three main lenders for those countries in severe debt it's made up of the european central bank the european union and the international monetary fund and those protesters who've come here say that well they're punishing the people of europe for mistakes made by the bank is impala titian's now to talk a little bit more about what's being going on what is going on here from foot i'm joined by saul true of yes he's one of the process of n.c.s. from the group it did not close so thanks so much why are people coming out to voice their anger here while we are here because we know that european central bank is one of the many situations together with the international monetary found of the european commission of not only me to manage the european crisis but the economy crisis we're facing now but for use in the crisis to implement a long band that's had nearly would identify. what about these are private banks

and public services weakening labor laws through this so called austerity measures and what form of the protests taking place in the going on throughout the city today is a civil disobedience act we have bloke all the entrances of the european central bank to avoid that they people that is working the e.c.b. we want to be the want to make the point that we know the role of the cv and no we don't one they should be the ones you know working in a way he's sold to build this for me not us thanks very much for talking to me demonstrations continuing throughout friday here in frankfurt says block u.p.i. protesters block entrance to the european central bank to show their anger at what they see as the mismanagement of europe's financial institutions now american and rest and on top of the e.u. financial woes there are still countries who are not deterred by the blocks problems like serbia and while some e.u. members have been accused of hiding their budget shortfalls when they joined serbia's president has admitted in an interview with r.t.

that the country's troubles are far worse than europe could ever imagine. because serbia is not in the same situation as the i'd say that some e.u. countries haven't been on a just enough they don't overspend and send fake budget reports to their partners many europeans were spoiled by their governments the e.u. exploited the whole world to provide a better life and huge welfare benefits for its citizens but now the reckoning is over in june is a time to customs and a time to gather them you may enjoy a free ride for a while but one day you'll have to pay and now unemployed e.u. citizens are at a loss how come they no longer have an extra seven or eight hundred euros at hand how come there are no more social benefits free of charge accommodation electricity or natural gas or the situation in serbia is different it would take a long time before the e.u. degenerated into the poverty that we were in the moment.

you're watching our t.v. so i have for you this hour i shot the u.k. grant asylum to a self-proclaimed murderer from kenya despite growing public pressure over homeland security that much more after a short break stay with us. wealthy british style. that's the time to explain the things we don't get out of. the. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my next concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to the kinds of reports. that all told you my language as well but i will only react to situations

number of hunger strikers who are being force fed reached and new high with thirty six detainees now subjected to procedure condemned by the un s to which are the number of those in hospital has also increased and r.t. talked to the father of prisoner who also has the coates weighty detainees in guantanamo committee and he described his son's condition after almost four months on hunger strike my son been there for eleven years without having justice and he is there. without committing any crime and no charges again it's against him it is very difficult for him to tell me what's going on there because there is a surveillance on the it is the district shoes for all the detainees not to talk about the conditions inside the camp but i can tell by the way he looks he

was so skinny if this is the fairest time for him to put some glasses on his eyes. looks he looks horrible. he could not concentrate while he's talking to me. i have sometimes to repeat simple sentences to him. to all to three times just to bring his attention so he could understand what i am saying he has i lack of nutrition it effected his body his thinking his brain it which is really really we are very concerned very concerned about his life a british labor party m.p. jeremy corbyn says the words coming from washington on one time should finally be replaced with action. what we need is transparency is the right of visiting the

right of representation is the release the prisoners or put them on trial and it is simply not right that prisoners should be held indefinitely without charge or trial president obama came to an easy at first election campaign that was going to close down guantanamo bay he said as much in a second election campaign and here we are now five years later still after running he claims of his administration claimed they can't get it passed the house and the senate in the usa and that's the problem i find it quite extraordinary that a major power lightly or say should flout international law in this way and i think we have to double our efforts to get around town closed down and the rule international law asserted the legacy of two thousand and one and guantanamo. and the extraordinary rendition process is something that's going to live for a very long time international law has been seriously undermined by britain and the usa and their behavior over afghanistan for the past twelve years america upload

a knife is father however finds the allegations hard to believe. from the photographs that were sent to me it's evident he was shot six times to the body and wants to the head at 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 is 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. as the f.b.i. says an internal investigation into the incident would take months to complete

artist marina looks at where the beer occurred with stands on the issue. but the time of the shooting up 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 you 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

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. well europe today for now here and if you remember that for any of the stories that we cover for you here you can go to our website r t v dot com and look at some numerous features and we have an offer for you there as well in the meantime financial news you're not going to find in the mainstream media that's coming your way prime interest is next here on r.t. .

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 sadly will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria evolving animals are also injected with various hormones which can make their way into our stomachs 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 have only won that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff just other bad stuff but the show just my opinion.
