this is r t coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program. russia says it's time to stop playing games regarding syria's chemical weapons and is demanding a thorough investigation to every case of their use suspected syria militants were reportedly arrested in turkey this week with a cylinder of sarin nerve gas the man are believed to be members of the al qaida linked illness for a front fighting against president assad's government and here is our middle east correspondent paula slayer with more. 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 sunda with the nerve agent sarin now turkish authorities haven't yet commented on this report and we all waiting to hear from them questions the united states and france in the past have said that they believe it is a sound however that is news in chemical weapons but they haven't been able to who

to produce any kind of evidence to prove this the british government has written to the united nations spanking new alleging we knew incidents of chemical use by assad's forces and at the same time the french government says that it is testing samples of f. was smuggled out by journalists but all of this is hearsay at the moment whereas on the other hand we have them here what we're seeing is fighters from the al nusra front allied with the syrian rebels court with the siren and of age and guess it is important also to point out in the mind of you is that the united nations did launch an independent investigation and what that investigation concluded was that there were signs that rebels have been using these sounds nerve agent in a massive investigation that was initiated by the u.n. chief banking move that was criticized by damascus because they save that what banking man was hoping to do was to investigate if we find in syria and the syrian state of reminded them of the iraqi style investigation into weapons of mass

destruction in your book. 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. the use of chemical weapons is bad and under international no one there are concerns that any kind of suggestions or any kind of proof that they use will trigger an international intervention and historian and her national relations expert carol horan believes that the opposition is foreign backers have already launched a massive build up towards intervention if the syrian government had been caught

with certain gas we would have her work who is from washington london and paris but of course this should not come as a surprise to anyone been paying attention we know that the internationally respected simple sort of atomic 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 sen john mccain of arizona entered syria illegally and news reports indicate that he consulted with the white house before answering 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 al nusra front which has been designated as a terrorist organization by washington is at the tip of the spear of the opposition against president al assad. now reports have emerged that a u.s. and a british citizen have been killed while fighting among rebels in syria damascus estimates

that around one hundred thousand mercenaries have joined the battle against it are just going off takes a closer look at who is being armed by the opposition to fight against the assad government. 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 gate 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 the 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. crosstalk later this hour america's middle east and asians and whether its policies are actually working and its favor. u.s. interests are not being absent u.s. economic corp and other interests are not being adverse are the policies were applauding the approach we're taking towards the middle east it comes completely at odds with basically the exception of something with i went on doing what it was to the one big exception is the huge influential industry known as the arms industry you go. the financial heart of the eurozone is under siege today with thousands of and protesters descending on vital banking institutions in the city of frankfurt riot squads are out in force to bracing themselves for clashes with water cannon and police dog units of the ready

they see as the mismanagement of europe's financial institutions. meanwhile the euro zone has hit a new low today with its employment data and a record twelve point two percent are now jobless with almost a quarter of young people out of work but that's not stopping some state including serbia from seeking to join up in an exclusive interview with r.t. the country's president told us that serbia's problems dwarf those faced by the e.u. . he is not in the same situation as. say that some e.u. countries haven't been on it's enough they don't overspend and send fake budget will so that part this many europeans were spoilt by their governments the e.u. exploited the whole world to provide a better life and huge will benefits for its citizens but now the beginning 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 in and 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. and were obama promised to speed up closing guantanamo bay more than a week ago but the hunger strike situation of prison is only deteriorating not a single inmate believes the pledge is enough to break their month long protest against mistreatment and indefinite detention all the number of protesters being force fed a procedure considered as torture by the un has increased to thirty six more inmates have had to be taken to hospital as well r.t. spoke to the father of a guantanamo prisoner also had kuwaiti detainees in guantanamo committee how

delgado told us what happened to his son after he resorted to starvation. 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 sort of violence 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 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 old to three times just to bring his attention so he could understand what i am saying he has. affected his body his thinking his brain it which is really really we are very concerned very concerned about his life and burdensome brow the air routes are bought it's only going tunnel clone after it was revealed that up to ninety afghan nationals are being detained in secret and without charge at the u.k. scamp baskin base some have been held there for more than a year british m.p. jeremy corbyn says similarities between of celebes are striking. people are collected all rested as enemy combatants held for very long periods

and not allowed normal judicial process just guntown of murder and i think that the legacy of two thousand and one of guantanamo. graham 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 the afghan government is supposed to be in charge of the country and those british american and many other soldiers allegedly fighting to protect this government they claim they can hold prisoners over this government they'll be tortured but instead they're held illegally in these two bases. still ahead this hour here on our team on the streets of england a schizo friend of man who claims to have killed hundreds back in his native khania . he's allowed to stay in the u.k. because of european agreements out of its control despite concerns over public

safety. and qatar joins a golf wide trend to control its internet with new laws to punish social and news websites for publishing anything the state sees as a threat that story is coming up very shortly. is the west fighting a global war without end to use the enemy and what defines victory in the greater middle east the tarion ethnic conflicts or see rejecting borders imposed after the first world war the great unraveling of the west new colonial project in the region and beyond is in play is this the meaning of the west's eternal war.

or maybe this is some words with. close. welcome back you're watching arche live from moscow the government of qatar has approved tough new measures to monitor its citizens online activity including comments posted on news websites and social media steps to follow similar

clampdowns by other gulf arab states and outlaw any online content deemed to threaten national security or for analysis on this let's now talk live to jamie ingram a middle east analyst at i.h.s. global insight thanks very much sir for joining us here in our to talk about this well as well as. internet restrictions were imposed earlier and the united arab emirates and the bloggers and in bahrain and kuwait are being prosecuted so why are these governments resorting to these measures or as you mentioned the council on the u.a.e. they all strikingly similar you were united this legislation in november last year it's now following states very concerned by the potential for unrest in the restrictions on freedom and freedom of speech and this more simply acknowledging more technology. like most will be done of them just if you have the arab spring uprisings and the role of the internet and social networks and coordinating the

activities. it seems like qatar has the grounds to be worried now well this might assume skate almost entirely from the arrests that swept the region in two thousand and eleven and as you say it's carrying all known about rain a few weeks as well so who. needs the necessity for the legislation in new york for the government is strong in some of the neighboring countries. and what impact do you think these are restrictions will have on the citizens of qatar. be perfectly honest with you i think that. some citizens and their response will be quite limited if. you don't rest through the state by state jobs. populace as a whole has on likely reacts to the latest legislation and stability will

remain in the country. well it's interesting to know you know why this is happening now because you know qatar. has had a reputation of more a somewhat more liberal state than any other arab monarchies and arnie's does that actually signal that the days of relative online freedom are gone. i don't think it does that they've looked at their neighbors in bahrain and kuwait these are examples of the country leaders do not want to go down yes this nor is it going to restrict freedom of speech that belongs to it to actually be implemented to remain unclear if they could just be hedging their bets for now in case they really do require to calm down its freedom of speech online in the future . ok well the law can be interpreted in so many different ways and the new bill outlaws an online reports violating the sanctity of

a person's private life what does that actually mean i mean is that a blow to investigative journalism. well it could be oh consarn does have a reputation for a relatively free media though this house for him in recent years and good law was reports it domestically as well so journalism as a whole doesn't have too much to worry about it might have been as you say who always very very it's really up to those. of the government sense of security forces as to how they want to implement it. so what about the gulf states allies in the west specifically the united states i mean why has there been no reaction so far to. someone and anti-democratic measures taken by the gulf monarchies while the west is the western countries they still want to see stability in the region and the continuance of the status quo so they sort of royce any concerns that they may have yes there are tensions but some pressure on growing for

instance but it's. only through although they are willing to see this they want to see the status quo to maintain all right that was being rammed middle east analyst from global insight thank you very much for the use or well question. and the internet isn't just a tool for stirring up revolutions it's also a ballfield in itself the u.s. is set to plow billions of dollars into boosting its cyber warfare capacity creating a dozen specialist teams to launch fans of against overseas targets that's all on our website r t v dot com. also online today the father of a chance man killed by the f.b.i. suspects foul play abraham to da ship was hit by seven bullets and quoting one to the head during an interview held over his possible links to one of the boston

a court ruled that twenty seven year old john is free to stay in the u.k. he arrived illegally back in two thousand and three but when the home office tried to deport him he appealed and an immigration tribunals that suffers from schizophrenia and had made up the atrocities he was granted leave to remain in the u.k. because he's at risk of committing suicide if you returns to kenya you would think this is not appropriate to bring him. if you look at the european convention of human rights it is possible for him to stay here because criminal of this. we've seen. he. he's going to be. and that's the problem john is that the fust potentially dangerous individual that the home office of tried and failed to deport

jordanian terrorist suspect abu qatada has avoided extradition for over a decade as the lawyers argue it's against his human rights to return to georgian where he could face torture not all the countries signed up to the european convention on human rights choose to follow it the french and italian governments deport dangerous individuals first and then hear their appeals i think one of the problems we have this country. is drastically wrong we don't seem to want to find the solution. for the problem. all this problem is bigger. in the sense that. treats. people but it did happen. to death in broad daylight by two men. wielding meat cleavers as the mother ship the country the suspects have been known for for its ease and questions have been asked about whether or not the police could have done more to the men in the mud

and yes a week later that we learned that a mentally unstable man who claims to have killed hundreds of people gets to stay in the u.k. the ruling once again raises questions about who's safety the british immigration judges are protecting. auti in london. now take a look at some of the other stories from around the world days of gold mine workers protest in northern kyrgyzstan have seen at least fifty five people injured and stun grenades and tear gas there's a state of emergency in the region as hundreds of miners have been blocking roads since tuesday and are threatening to move onto the gold side they are demanding the government ensures more revenue stays in the country and tears up its agreements with the facilities canadian owners. a small passenger plane ran out of fuel mid-flight on friday before plummeting into the living room of a house outside washington d.c. two people were injured in the accident one on board a cessna the other in the apartment emergency crews are now helping several adults

and children forced to evacuate the building. and general strike in the northern spanish city of bilbao has mobilized thousands of people voicing their anger against austerity cuts the demonstration was organized by the boss country's two main trade unions more than forty percent of the region's population is jobless with over half of people aged between eighteen and twenty five now out of work. a video clip of russian policemen marching a group of people across the street in the moscow region has really captured you tube viewers imagination a lot of comments on the web have some saying it chilling the way reminds them of prisoners of war well let's now get more on the story from artie's medina caution of so many why has this video sparked so many emotions while the russian and snatch was indeed aflame with comments on the recent video where police officers are seen more showing

a whole column of people now it is possible to see in the footage that some of the people right at the beginning of the column have their hands in their hands and the others on the shoulders of those in front of them now that video was instantly followed by is throwing up differing commons some sod said those people looked like prisoners so if war and the others were just shocked by the scene but what happened in reality was that one hundred three people were detained by police in one of the markets in the moscow region and reportedly they were involved in a massive fight and they were migrants among them now this is not an isolated case just this week police detained more than nine hundred illegal migrants in the north and part of the capital and incidents like this hoppen olmos on a daily basis the problem of illegal immigration. now the authorities say that it's at least harmful for migrants working in moscow are present here illegally and

the police says the number of crimes committed by migrants increased by forty percent last year alone in particular one out of three robberies is committed by migrants so what are the reasons behind those quite drastic statistics really well first of all the visa free regime between russia and the c.i.s. countries where the balkans the legal migrants are coming from and of course high level off on employment so while the reasons behind this are somewhat clear it is still unknown was the best way to solve this issue already thanks for this update it was medina collection of up. and on the way as promised crosstalk takes on america's middle east motivation and whether it's storing up trouble or itself.

distraction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one space issue of the moment and ignore the rest jill those 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 in 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 and speaking of mysterious things getting into our body pretty much any crops and 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 outputting a lot of poisonous food will kill you just as dead as slowly starving will.
