nationwide this following a police crackdown on demonstrators. say around one thousand people were. killed. and. hundreds of demonstrators were arrested in france for an. stories of the week syria's opposition refuses to attend international peace talks that refused just a lifting of the e.u.

. ultimately opening the door. to the rebels. get shot. by the f.b.i. over his alleged connection to the boston bombing suspects reports suggest he was. just in time for the top headlines of the week this is the weekly with me live in moscow it's good to have you with us today. at least two people have been killed and more than a thousand have been injured in turkey protests and fierce clashes with police that have continued several days now almost. thousand people cuffed and arrested now

what started as a peaceful certain against plans to revamp a park in central istanbul has spiraled into a nationwide display of anger against the government. go far this report from istanbul. the protests have been raging throughout the night visitor in fact my hotel faces the square and around two thirty am because of the extreme noise and the smell of something burning coming in from the street and it was really a sight to behold in the middle of the darkest night you saw those red flashes of fires burning in the middle of the square now the protesters have been burning a lot of things around the square starting from vendors booths and ending mostly with vehicles now among those vehicles were police the police trucks that i have personally seen but also they seem to have been targeting. these satellite. trucks the media companies a lot of people are incredibly distrustful of the media especially of the state

controlled media and this matter of fact that is largely the reason why i'm actually sitting in the studio today and not out on the square because the companies that were doing live transmissions from the square yesterday today said it's too dangerous to go out there to go back a little bit the police did withdraw from texas and square in the early afternoon on saturday and that is thousands of people started pouring into the square despite the fact that it was essentially permeated with tear gas and pepper spray and there's still puddles of water everywhere from water cannons being used. to the square and one point it did seem like i was not in istanbul but rather in egypt or in tunisia during the protests and you have to understand the protests began because the government plans to get rid of a park in the middle of the city it was a peaceful sit in until the police started to break it up using tear gas and essentially excessive force and that is what people have gathered over there in

multitudes and they weren't at that point protesting not the plans to demolish the park but rather they were saying they wanted to save the country from aragon and his policies which are becoming increasingly unpopular with the people in turkey. some of the most of the people that i've spoken to said they there you can see there is three things that they're unhappy about guns policies and through word syria the increasing islamisation off the country and basically a crackdown on old freedoms particularly in areas concerning media and journalists turkey remains the number one country when it comes to the number of journalists jailed when it comes to international reaction we should mention a report by amnesty international which offers happens to be really close to ducks and square and they have said and i'm quoting that this was disgraceful use of excessive force demonstrated by police in istanbul having said that the police did seem to be targeting individual protesters there have there are some reports that some people may have lost their sight because of the tear gas being fired at close

range there's also reports of police targeting individual shops and stores and cafes which were trying to help out the protesters on the square and the police were seen to be throwing the tear gas canisters inside but there were also reports medical very medical association has tried to set up sort of camps within a so they could help those who were injured in the protests but they couldn't do so because of the tear gas permeating the streets i could smell the tear gas coming into my hotel two kilometers away the streets were blocked off i had to walk around in that area it was really difficult to breathe in fact the first thing that a lot of tourists were handed out when they came to istanbul were little maps to cover their faces and really i saw a lot of people with their i did seem like their eyes were burning and they were suffering from the effects of tear gas so we can talk about the excessive use of force and still waiting for any reaction from calls by amnesty international to stop the police brutality. artie's are going to go i spoke to her just a bit earlier in the program now turkish prime minister said of the one has

admitted that the police may well have used excessive force but called on protesters to stop their demonstrations because the park changes are still going ahead anyway international relations professor mark almond from anchor as bill kent university he says there are the ones actions resemble those of leaders that were formally ousted by the arab spring a massive police action of course it has backfired and this is a very dramatic moment for the prime minister mr erdogan has had for the first time to step back he was extremely aggressive in his initial statements that he wouldn't tolerate protest and now the man who was the first world leader to call for president mubarak to resign is now talking rather eerily like mubarak did shortly before his own fall he's now saying he's going to investigate the police he's got the people he wants to carry on the project so he's managing to in a sense muddy the water but i don't think really to calm the situation because if he insists on carrying on with this project which is very unpopular he still is

going to keep the protest going be sapulpa that relations disaster with huge economic implications. we are following developments in turkey on air and online in fact you can watch a live stream from istanbul and get the latest updates. called while you're there though you can also participate in our ongoing online global poll as to what do you think how do you think it's all going to pan out with the ongoing violence there in the let's bring up the numbers and see how you're voting for this hour from the website still though we actually know it's all been changed joint first and second position equal place first and second half of them saying it's going to develop into a turkish spring the other half saying it's going to incite a huge crackdown on the basic principles of democratic freedoms so first a second a joint then down to formally the third position now number two eighteen percent saying it's going to end up forcing major changes as well so the minimum of saying well it's all going to die out by the end of the week though the numbers have

changed every single hour glad to have your participation at r.t. dot com it's not too late for you to get involved right now. well for now it is a weekend of unrest in the german financial capital frankfurt where police used batons and pepper spray against thousands of anti austerity demonstrators several people injured in the clashes though around four hundred detained protesters have been blocking the e.u.'s main financial institution for two days peter all of a has this report from frankfurt. a planned march that was supposed to go right through the middle of all germany's financial capital only really lasted five hundred meters before police intervened splitting the demonstration in several different parts now the police have told us that this is because they asked people to remove the masks who were marching in the green put on see all sarah c n n z fascist campaign is they refused to do that then paint was thrown police responded with with pepper spray this lucky pie front twenty c.

demonstrations were mostly peaceful the whole changed on saturday no this then ended up with a hours long standoff in the center for front. with so many people being called in the clashes that broke out sporadically between the police and protesters . who were standing there suddenly police moved in and they beat some of us and i was a street there was no reason for that they managed to get out. from work oh this is

your policy not ours now away from me paying throwing in the pepper spraying the idea behind blokey pie was supposed to show the political leaders of europe that then not happy that they want change and they said that they had a clear message to those leaders in the european union this is book if i frankly have been came alongside the release of unemployment figures for the eurozone countries and they made for a pretty desperate reading almost twenty million people are out of work in the eurozone most of them young we're hearing that open almost one in four under twenty five don't have a job and that's what resulted in many people coming out here on on the streets of france but to demonstrate. well not just germany but also mass rallies taking place in spain and portugal on saturday both nations among the worst hit by the ongoing crisis and austerity thousands marched in madrid demanding an end to the hard hitting cuts in portugal fifteen thousand protesters surrounded the international

monetary fund's local office chanting i am out a reporter pinto was there for us. the focus of people thank you here did to their facilities try and do european can be said and do you in central bank they are the big. deal on strike and she's like practical reason ireland's here in lisbon many hundreds that are like. we are here protesting like we are in all the cities in europe we are protesting against the policies of prosperity the policies of the policies that are destroying people's lives. and we are here in lisbon in front of the i.m.f. where the laws are made on the back of the people in knots in a democratic way we want the voice to come back to tool to the people these people idea amending the resignation of the party's government and also the our society which has already nearly to force more than a million portuguese people out of

a job well in artie's cause report as always a unique take on europe's financial woes and of course those responsible for them all the programs available for you on our on see you tube channel. rocketing to a billion view from the world spirit of funny disasters continue to change join me kevin owen for more on how you've helped make the first global views china to reach . could have you with us here today a powerful car bomb in damascus exploded near a police station reportedly killing at least eight security officers it comes to the end of a week which saw the prospects of russia us to broker peace talks on syria hitting

some rather massive chile. joining me live from the studio to discuss the past week for the water one country lucy thanks for coming in sharing your sunday with us here also mostly let's talk about the press conference i suppose the chances of it actually even taking place after the events of the past seven days there's a lot of pessimism in the absolutely right. the leaders of the syrian opposition had in fact announced they will not be participating in the u.s. and russian sponsored peace talks they are saying that has been laws involvement in the bloody civil war really complicates things a little the group itself is highly divided there's questions as to whether they have the syrian opposition have credibility with the syrians on the ground meanwhile president bashar al assad in an interview this week said only a referendum would decide whether he should leave power and of course with a negotiated settlement off the table for now there's concerns that really intensifying and further complicating things is the decision by the european union

which agreed not to renew weapons and cargo in syria potentially paving the way the way for weapons deliveries with such a massive announcement such a big development in the past several days regarding syria so the e.u. weapons embargo has been lifted now the doors can fling wide open for all sorts of a. funneling their weapons straight to the opposition the rebel fighters here that are made up as you mentioned a moment ago of many varied factions of what it a decision embraced by old e.u. member states or just a few absolutely i mean the u.k. and france really led this push to dismantle the cargo which prevailed despite opposition from other european union member states those two countries are saying that this would have somehow helped to ratchet up pressure against president bashar al assad the other states are not so not so clear on that although we should note that the british foreign secretary has said that there's no immediate plans to ship weapons into syria but still certainly a cause for concern in a conflict that has claimed more than eighty thousand lives to date when it comes

to be sure but trying to get peace peace negotiations at the table the opposition though certainly the assad government will you know i wonder how it's going to help or the e.u. defeating its weapons on. mean many already saying it's just going to further incite the conflict although some of western powers who see accusing russia at this point of hampering peace efforts all those sort of get off the foreign minister has kept saying time and time again we must all come to the negotiation peace talks table the whole argument about russia supplying assad with weapons how does moscow justify this let's a complex issue russia's plan to ship as three hundred anti-aircraft systems to syria caused a stir this week after president bashar al assad in an interview said that russia will be honoring its defense contracts for other complicating things that the israeli elements the israelis have said that they are strongly opposed to this that they are prepared to use force if those weapons are delivered but we have to keep in mind these are contracts they were signed roughly a year before the syrian civil war broke out in twenty eleven russians are not prepared to console the contracts although the deputy foreign minister has said

that this is seen as a stabilizing factor that will determine quote what he called some hotheads from a considering to send in foreign forces to intervene in the syrian conflict i do think that russian made s. three hundred i myself batteries are supposed to be for defensive purposes not offensive i would go out. issue of the use of chemical weapons it came up again this week can you tell us more about that it's a bit murky but according to local turkish media reports the turkish government has rounded up about twelve people with suspected ties to the island those are fronts this is one of the rebel groups that's affiliated with al qaida that's been fighting bashar al assad on the ground and at least according to one we do know reports they've discovered what they said two kilograms of sarin gas a powerful new york talks and now these are not confirmed reports but they do come amid growing concern of the use of chemical weapons by both sides and the united nations human rights investigators have in fact and obtained testimony from on the ground witnesses who allege that the rebels had used sarin gas now again unsubstantiated testimony but we should it did prompt

a response from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov i think we have that sound bite if we can play it for our viewers now. we know because. 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 so there you have it the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov calling for an investigation into what obviously is a murky but but serious issue of concern that we had an analyst on our team some a few hours ago here and he was saying that if indeed the assad government was showing all proved to be using chemical weapons the u.n.

nato western powers would pounce all over him now reports second reports of rebels using them and again they seem to be falling on deaf ears in the west awfully convenient for. a pleasure to have you in the studio today thank you. well thanks for joining us here on the program are still ahead for you this hour a friend or foe rallies accusing the u.s. army of imprisoning private manning for uncovering its war crimes they started days before his court martial and more on that after a quick break. also do stay with us for the gold standard we take a look at the unique design of the medals that will be handed out at sochi is twenty fourteen winter games that and much more still to come in the program on this sunday. the civilized world produces more food than it needs. well people die of hunger in

other countries. millions of victims every. where a meal is the most trace. is flood or droughts to blame. it was a bad year without a train. we couldn't find anything. but there was great hunger. is it that help comes too late and with good intentions. charity diplomacy and business on up to.

twelve twenty pm moscow time this is odd to. an interviewer turned deadly in the united states when a chechen man was shot in the head while being questioned by the f.b.i. over his alleged links to the main suspects in the boston marathon bombing reports a game to dash off was unarmed however the authorities have claimed that he tried to attack the agents with a knife something his father finds very 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 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. investigative journalist and veteran a police officer mike ruppert he believes to dash as killing leaves an awful lot open to interpretation. there are two glaring problems and with what we have is as equal and already contradictory accounts from law enforcement about how the events went down the first of which is the man was unarmed and i will hearken back to my days on the streets in one nine hundred seventy six in los angeles where

an olympic medalist juan carlos got combative with a bunch of police officers not not one of those guns and we were getting thrown around like rag dolls and we were all trained and we were all very very fit at the time so there's a there's an escalation of force scale which was obviously or apparently not followed in this case but my second huge problem with the law enforcement story is he was supposed to be signing a confession to a triple murder i don't care even if you are the f.b.i. which doesn't have a good reputation us somebody is going to sign a confession for triple murder you have a minute jailhouse in a secure setting and the police officer or officers won't horsemen personnel around him are not armed because he's in a secure static this was at best for the f.b.i. . horribly mishandled but it sounds to me very much like they went there with the intent to provoke him and stay just shooting standard police procedure everywhere

in the world was not followed here in the united states thousands of gathered outside a camp in maryland to support private bradley manning is accused of aiding the enemy by passing classified documents to wiki leaks but activists say that manning's behind bars because he simply exposed war crimes. blake was that. we're at fort meade maryland in baltimore on monday the court martial against by the first class bradley manning will finally begin private manning twenty five year old army intelligence officer is accused of the biggest leak in the history of the united states according to army prosecutors manning is responsible for the lion's share of material that's been shared by the anti-secrecy wiki leaks in the last two years u.s. state department cables watanabe detainee assessment files iraqi and afghan war logs have all been attributed to private manning and for leaking this material the u.s. government is charging him with aiding the enemy and he could spend the rest of his life in prison on monday however the courtroom here and for meeting with supporters

and prosecutors attorneys on both sides waiting for the court martial of finally getting here is after manning was first brought into custody it was late may twenty town with manning was picked up in baghdad transferred to kuwait brought back to united states and spent three years of waiting waiting for this court martial to finally begin the sense december two thousand and eleven they've been having pretrial hearings here at fort meade and there's been really them all over the world in support of the soldier according demonstrators this is the largest bradley manning really that has ever happened in the three plus years sense of what if the u.s. military custody people from all over the country gathered here today to really in support of the soldier but there's also demonstrations planned in more than two dozen cities in four continents across the world in the next coming days seoul south korea pearl in germany toronto ontario cities throughout the united states and across north america and the rest of the globe are all holding events this week in support of private manning now his court martial will eventually begin on monday

more than three years more than one thousand days after he was first brought into custody and by the end of the summer his supporters his family his friends are all finally going to know how he's going to spend the rest of his life and human rights activist craig morrey he believes manning's alleged crimes aren't even close to the damage done by battling american troops. every time that demanding is discussed you get people from the american government people on the conservative side of the argument say well he put individual lives at risk and those people of course have to do what all of the mainstream media at their service if they had been any evidence at all that any person any individual had been killed or harmed as a result of these disclosures we can be one hundred percent certain but the politicians and the mainstream media would have been telling us about it all the time but in fact nobody has been able to point to a single instance of anybody being harmed as a result of these disclosures nothing badly manning has done in any way.

the level of criminality or for example the american soldiers who were deliberately shooting at and killing journalists in iraq and the fact that it's bradley manning who's on trial i think that it's about he's been held in conditions which have been extremely difficult in the long periods of solitary confinement very little access to lawyers and others times is being kept naked in this small cells so clearly you know what he's suffered already has been big just before we even come to trial. here at r.t. our special coverage of bradley manning's case starts here on monday i mean while you can follow the live updates on the pretrial protests don't go. this is so hard with the military.

there we go starting with the latest series of tornadoes that swept through oklahoma and neighboring states killing dozens injured some of them critically three people though died as a result of flooding caused by the storm that was in missouri oklahoma has barely had a chance to recover from lethal twisters two weeks ago that was when i mile wide twister killed twenty four and just wiped out whole communities. more than a thousand people mostly civilians were killed in iraq last month according to the u.n. that makes may the bloodiest month for the country since two thousand and seven. that the recent sectarian violence between the shia government and sunni minority could become a full scale civil war. comes off to april's raid by the security forces on a sunni protest very close to baghdad. so what was less than

a year until the winter olympics the organizers of the games have given athletes something to dream about the medals full of russian tradition and local flavor were unveiled in some petersburg. while he rushed over to get his hands on at least one . now holding up one of these will be the dream of every athlete competing in sochi twenty fourteen which begin in just a month's time and here in st petersburg the medals were revealed for the very first time to the public the designers hope to capture russia's sense of national identity and character and they tried to do that by showing the warm waters of the black sea crashing into the ice of krasnaya polyana up in the mountains and if you look very closely you will also notice 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. who chairs the sochi organizing committee and he hopes that when someone does win 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 sochi is ready andrey farmer for some pictures but. and there we are coming to live from moscow is now at just about half past the hour and still to come guantanamo bay detainees on a hunger strike have made another heart felt plea for issued an open less access to independent doctors and to what they call a and inhumane treatment. by the u.k.

calls asylum to a so for a claim to mass murder a from kenya despite growing pressure of a home runs and hear those stories and a lot more just around the corner for you. distractions one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one spicy issue of the moment and ignore the rest jim 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 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 started 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 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. thank you for sharing your sunday with us here at r t a group of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay have demanded independent medical treatment this in an

open letter to the military doctors over one hundred of the one sixty six prisoners have been starving themselves for almost four months this in protest against indefinite detention without charge i mean while the number of protesters being force fed a procedure considered as torture by the u.n. has now increased up to thirty six more inmates have had to be taken to hospital as well here at r.t. we did speak to the father of one guantanamo bay prisoner he was so heads the kuwaiti detainees in guantanamo committee. he told us what happened to his son after he resorted to that of starvation my son being there for eleven years without having justice and he is there without committing any crime nor charges again it's against him it is very difficult for him to tell me what's going on there because there is violence on the there 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. too old to three times just to bring his attention so he could understand what i am saying he has i lack of nutrition it affected his body his thinking his brain it which is really really we are very concerned very concerned about his life meanwhile it's been a for

a week since barack obama pledged to shut down guantanamo for the second time in five years but an richardson an attorney for one of the detainees and she described what her client is still being subjected to. if you ginny's are really attempting to have treatment be restored to them as human beings and rather than being punished and treated like animals i have had my client tell me many times they treat animals better than they are treating the detainees my client has been kept in solitary confinement many of his items were taken away from him including attorney client mail he was not allowed to have a tooth brush toothpaste or so in his cell for many many weeks i don't know yet even if he's got enough to this day. they have made conditions a dime's very reason cold for them in the cells they are requiring that they submit to their humiliating searches of their genital area in order to meet with their

attorneys or talk with them on the telephone. it is just humiliating it's been difficult for them to sleep at night they are sometimes taken for their showers in the middle of the night so they have to decide between sleep and getting a little bit of a climb let us it's just then very cute. meanwhile this week us or scandal in the unfold i should say in the united kingdom it's offered the most up to ninety afghans who are being held in britain's come back and afghanistan and a new spot on president of criticism from the un as aunties sarah for one point. e.-k. lawyers described this is a secret facility that was completely off the radar leading some to describe this as the u.k.'s kuantan a murder in afghanistan but it was a fun and speedy response that we saw from the other eighty from defense secretary philip haven't just the details emerge of the detention facility income and of the legal action launched by u.k.

lawyers on behalf of some of the detainees there were some pretty damning revelations from those lawyers that these detainees have been held for fourteen months now the ministry of defense and the defense secretary admitted that between eighty and ninety detainees being held that they were very quick thing to try to move away and quash these comparisons with guantanamo bay there were two main differences here number one that the afghan detainees they said were being held. in safety now in a them but last year we saw the defense secretary hold the trials of afghan detainees captured by british forces to the afghan security forces of the concerns that they might be subjected to torture olds would be another second reason that they gave was that this wasn't a secret this is the first time that many in the british public will have heard

about this detention facility and the u.k. ambassador. after these revelations saying that this was a principle of national serenity and that the detainees should be handed over to the afghan security forces as soon as possible the question of how to handle detainees has been the most enduring controversy since the u.s. led military campaigns in afghanistan and iraq and certainly until these transfers have made this controversy and these compare paris and to guantanamo bay don't look like they're going. so. london. police have charged a second man with this of the soldier lee rigby to death in broad daylight in london both attackers that were poor appear in court on monday as aussies bully boy they found out britain's own laws allow other potential murderers to stay very happily inside the safety of the country. 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 few o. 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 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 normally think that this is not appropriate person to bring into the u.k. problem moves if you look at the european convention of human rights it is possible for him to stay here because criminal of the two have a sort we've seen in other parts of the world like sierra leone or join a genocide and such like or in. character and this is one of those he falls short of that he's going to be allowed to walk the streets of britain and

that's the problem john theo is the first potentially dangerous individual that the home office of tried and failed to deport jordanian terror 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 have their appeals i think one of the problems we have this country was always but often is until something goes drastically wrong we don't seem to want to find the adequate solution or effective solution for the problem we tend to leave things as they are a list problem is big and cough and something really does go wrong in the sense that something like this goes on the streets actually starts hacking people but it did happen over here and well it's off duty soldier lee rigby was hired to death in broad daylight by two. men wielding meat cleavers the mud of 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 we learned that a mentally unstable man who claims to have killed hundreds of people gets to stay in the u.k. contacted the home office they suggested we drop the story because a judge had ruled that the claims of committing murder were false but the ruling once again raises questions about his safety the british immigration judge as a pretext saying. london. if you had a line out what you don't call me you can find out why hundreds of far right protesters have been confronted by an anti fascist demonstration this in central london and the rally was triggered by the gruesome daylight murder of a british soldier the details on that as well as we've been covering the story very much your thoughts here at dot com. and still to come here on the way we talk to a belgian m.p. who's certainly stirring things up across the continent live from moscow this is

artsy. well talking about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for i'm likely to put in no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to say to mr kerry you have a car is on the top you know god i. think you know more weasel words. when you made a direct question are you prepared for a change when you have to punish the ready for a. freedom of speech and a little bit of the freedom to watch. wealthy british style.

me is eat eat eat eat eat eat eat. eat. eat. eat eat eat eat. sleep. well today in our team we're joined by i don't believe he's a member of the belgian chamber of representatives and he's not to be quite a controversial politician with this no holds barred manner of speaking especially when it comes to criticizing the decisions made by those at the top thank you very much mr dewey for joining us in the program let's get straight to it first of all you've been very vocal about your condemnation of the french intervention in mali

but remember that two thirds of the french supported this move in that sense what does that say about the french and their view of interventions also sub remark you so many putin i simply think they manipulated they manipulated by the power of the media the de tightly in the hands of political leaders and therefore as long as you tell the french population that france is intervening to save humanity and to stop terrorists who are ready to commit attacks in france and europe of course the populations follow they think it's normal we are in danger but it's not true and that's the problem i don't believe that tomorrow we'll see an attack by malayan terrorists in europe could it actually the war in mali is certainly not a fight against terrorism it's not a fight against islamism is to take advantage of natural resources in mali and the proof is energy john to reva is present in mali and it gets the support from french

military forces to protect the installations that's the first time the national army has gone to provide services to a commercial company and i think there's a huge problem today are countries go to war to make money they don't care about international rules you look at the moment you know there's no such thing as a preventative war it's all aggression was when we see france are all on deriving in mali and being celebrated as a liberator this is a publicist he campaigned well so i think we cannot interfere in the policy of a sovereign country. but the french president francois hollande was saying that france was merely answering the call for help of the president because. he's in the moment and president is a norm legitimity one because he was not elected and i think that the former french president nicolas sarkozy agrees with me as he said exactly the same thing we should not intervene in a country where there is no government and therefore i think i'm not the only one
