7:18 pm
that they will not be participating in the u.s. and russian sponsored peace talks they are saying that has the 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 holding a referendum would decide whether he should leave power further complicating things is the decision by the european union which agreed not to renew a weapons embargo on syria the u.k. and france really led this push to dismantle the 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 some western powers lucy accusing russia at this point of hampering peace efforts on 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
7:19 pm
syria caused a stir this week after president bashar al assad in an interview said that russia will be honoring its defense contracts further 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 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 deter quote what he called some hotheads from considering to send in foreign forces to intervene in the syrian conflict i do these are russian made at three hundred i myself i reserve supposed to be for defensive which is not offensive but what about the issue of the use of chemical weapons it came up again this week can you tell us more about 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 accused according to one reading reports
7:20 pm
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 to used sarin gas and again unsubstantiated testimony but we should it did prompt a response from a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and we knew it 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
7:21 pm
each and every incident needs to be investigated and. so there you have it the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov calling for an investigation into what obviously is a murky but but serious issue of concern historian and a middle east expert to rigali says some groups of the syrian opposition are trying everything to provoke a military intervention i think one of the aims off some of the fighters combating the regime is to try and create maximum havoc and produce a situation where everyone says we have to have an intervention i mean i recall very well during the first vote in iraq there will all sorts of propaganda weeks was due mostly to shown to be completely false such as that the iraqi soldiers said you know got all supplies to babies in hospitals and so many

a row about its own guantanamo clone it was revealed that up to ninety afghan nationals are being detained in secret and without charge at the ukase camp bastion base and as doubt some have been held there for more than a year. this is a secret facility that was completely off the radar leading some to describe this as the u.k. . in afghanistan but it was a fun and speedy response that we saw from the n.d.p. and from defense secretary philip having just the details emerge of the detention facility in camp bastion and of the legal action launched by u.k. lewis on behalf of some of the detainees there were some pretty damning revelations from. these detainees being held for fourteen months now the ministry of defense and the defense secretary admitted that between eighty and ninety detainees
7:25 pm
being held they were very quick to try to move away and quash these comparisons with one kind of my. main difference is number one the afghan detainees being held. in safety and the 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 of 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 concur parazynski. they don't look like
