security forces had to resort to rubber bullets tear gas and stun grenades but this didn't stop the angry mob from burning one of the police vans and completely destroying another eventually the protesters agreed to talk with the country as a vice president who arrived at the scene but apparently the majority of them didn't like what they heard and who were moved towards the power station determined to shut it down once again. police have been ordered to guard the facility with non-lethal means available but i'm currently at the scene and some protesters have already arrived here and look very angry but the main reason for their outrage is the agreement with the canadian based company who signed up in two thousand but were not interested pilate's that the major portion of the mine and shares belonging to that firm and protesters want to change that what they want more money to go into the country's budget but also the demonstrators say look the mine is

severely damaging the region's ecology but some of the families living there have children who are born with birth defects infrastructure problems have made it an interest chronicled and wish list as well as they want better roads. we're keeping a close eye on the unrest in kyrgyzstan and we'll be bringing you more as we get it here on r.t. . now russia says it's time to stop playing games regarding syria's chemical weapons and is demanding a thorough investigation into 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 on the front fighting against president assad's government here is our middle east correspondent policy. 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 senda with the move agent seven now typical thirty's haven't commented on this report and we all waited. 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 best were 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 all nusra front allied with the syrian rebels court with the seven nerve agent 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 sirens the

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 when you're looking at look at the 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. now historian and international relations expert carol horan believes that the opposition's foreign backers have already launched a massive build up towards intervention 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 civil servant 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 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 the saud are reported to have emerged that a u.s. and 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 as you are pissed 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 on's 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 truly there is no force that can represent it as a whole there is 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 and i'd 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 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 widely recognized that they usually end up in the hands of the best trained and most radical brigades. found crosstalk at seven thirty pm g.m.t. a look at whether america's policies in the middle east actually work in the country's favor. us interests are not being absent u.s. economic cooperation and other interests are not being adverse are the policies we're applying and the approach we're taking towards the middle east it comes completely at odds with basically accession something with i went on doing what it was of the one big exception is the huge influential industry known as the arms industry ago. barack obama

speech online in the future does have a reputation for a relatively free media though this has all in recent years and then the law was reports it domestically as well so journalism as a whole doesn't have too much to worry about it might mean he will always very by. it's really up to the government censors security forces as to how they want to implement it. and the internet is just a tool for stirring up revolutions it's also a battlefield itself the u.s. is set to plow billions of dollars into boosting its cyber warfare capacity creating a dozen specialist teams to launch offensives against overseas targets it's all on our website. also there the father of a chechen man killed by the f.b.i. suspects foul play every game to die ship was hit by seven bullets including one to the had during an interview held over his possible links to one of the boston bombers so go to r.t. dot com for the whole story.

you set up these you tube channel rocketing to a billion viewers for the world's beera to funny disasters two events that continue to change all lawyers join me kevin owen for more on how you've helped make the first global views trying to reach you chub billion. the failure to expel immigrants who pose a potential risk to society has again been thrown into sharp relief as a boy who reports and mentally unstable man from kenya who says he's killed hundreds is now free to walk the streets of england. he says he's murdered up to four hundred people with a machete in his native kenya killed police and taken part in female genital mutilation but 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 trying

to deport him he appealed and an immigration tribunals ruled that hugo 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 he 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 the. he. or she is 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 patatas lawyers argue it's against his human rights to return to jordan

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 hit their appeals i think one of the problems we have this country. is drastically wrong we don't seem to want to find a solution or effective solution for the problem. all the problem is off. in the sense that. treats. people but it did happen. to death in broad daylight by two men. wielding meat cleavers the mother ship the country the suspects have been known for morrissey's and questions have been asked about whether or not the police could have done more to the men. and yes a week later we learned that a mentally unstable man who claims to have killed hundreds of people gets to stay

crowds of environmentalists and a stamboul have swear that up to the bulldozers to save a city park entries from being flattened and turned into a shopping mall many of the campaigners have camped out for three nights running to try and head off the demolition police tried moving them all was water cannon and tear gas but there were injuries some eco activists tried to flee by scaling a wall. from. 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 if lot of comments on the web some saying a chilling way reminds them of prisoners of war. explains what happened. this possible to seen the footage that some of the people right at the beginning of the column have their hands on their hands and the others on the shoulders of those in front of them now that video was instantly followed by

a string of differing comments some sod so the those people look like prisoner 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 such as this hop and olmos on a daily basis the problem of illegal immigration is a very sensitive issue now the authorities say that it's at least hopeful for migrants working in moscow are present here illegally and the police 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 one of 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 bounce way to solve this issue and next in our team of prime interest stay with us. destruction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one spicy issue of the moment and ignore the rest are definitely worth the media attention but look at. 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 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 win that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff just other bad stuff but that's just my opinion.
