1:02 am
is are following developments the. absolutely horrifying reports coming from the north eastern part of syria we are getting reports that four hundred fifty people most of them women and elderly and at least two hundred twenty children have been killed by fighters the awful news of runs unfortunately at this point we cannot get any different confirmation of this having actually taken place and again we're working on finding any resources or any clues that will point to whether or not something like this is actually happened however this is an incident to which the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has alluded and he said that of course this is also another sign that a political solution towards the crisis in syria is absolutely needed as soon as possible there also have been reports coming in that a several kurds have been set on fire by all of the all news there front there is a video circulating the internet which shows just that unfortunately the video is
1:03 am
too graphic for us to show at the moment yes this situation in northeastern syria of course is escalating largely because this is a place where kurds have been successful somewhat in pushing the extremist groups out the groups which are affiliated with al qaida to whoever does invision their own state and this is a very part of the region hence the fighting we're hearing of course reports about several hundred people being kidnapped and being held hostage most of them are women and children actually have now with me a journalist from san is so whose relatives are in the region as i understand and you have also heard from them so you obviously have heard what is happening there what can you tell us about the details of what is happening to the kurds who are there and who are trying to battle the. the extremists we confirmed that seem to see being encouraged to see you know most of them the woman and two children they
1:04 am
were killed. this is also are surrounded and is it is it is more than three hundred . if the. people feeding them them kidnapping by their own we are not trying to reach them we are not there to treat this disease to confound what happened exactly the day i started to attack the kurds it's really just a billion said they forced to get it thank you so much for joining us again basically what we're looking at a picture here is the courage sure are on the receiving end of the confrontation that's happening between the extremists believe it with al qaida operating in northeastern syria of course the kurds are coming under fire because they are there and ease thinking about establishing an al-qaeda states in this very region r.t. managed to talk to a relative of one of the kurdish victims who described what their people are going through in syria. militants and other rebel force surrounded the village they
1:05 am
started going from door to door entering every holes if there were any men they cure them and took women and children hostage the rebels came into the house of my cousin she was at home so they murdered him took the women and children and blew the house. meanwhile fears of an al qaeda attack have forced the u.s. and the u.k. to withdraw their embassy staff from yemen one thousand u.s. diplomatic missions across the middle east and africa was shut down after a less interception of conversations between two al qaeda leaders but with radical militant groups among the syrian rebels who are enjoying washington support something american political analyst a call and believes is a big mistake. our media kind of keeps it on the down low on the want to add a noun you know there so whistle or even moderate democratic opposition which is the areas that anybody who is following this we're supporting al qaida just hardens or mastery the people america should not be supporting these type of extremist
1:06 am
fighters we should not be violated international law and we should not be working to support the gulf monarchies right now so john mccain and benjamin saltless are irregular dictating us on policy in the region kerry and that is outrageous when we get into the war on terror we get into a very confusing area that most americans have no idea about all they know is their very. many millions of dollars funding all its roots which they have no knowledge about and just killing people and their kids over there to die. will be closely following the escalating tensions between different groups in syria and the situation for civilians there on m. and online. than the strike in guantanamo bay has receded or during the holy month of ramadan and attention has now turned to how the detainees are being treated there we've heard accounts from several prisoners who have described
1:07 am
a daily routine of invasive body searches which sometimes included sexual assault terry holbrooke's i worked as a god at the prison camp he revealed instructions he was given. we were taught not to interact with them not to look at them as humans not to talk with them not to speak with them have nothing to do with them unless it was absolutely necessary important to work we were told to be very aggressive in searching growing. i don't think any of us is cards felt comfortable doing that as a result of such we didn't do that there were certain rules that we were given that many of us just didn't all of we didn't see on those as being a political logical or ethical in some circumstances and those were all such we didn't implement them and over a hundred sixty six remaining we've had to live in europe to find any shred of evidence to charge try and convict them and we've not been able to do that nor we've been able to falsify the evidence i would think of america being the great
1:08 am
nation that it is and having the wonderful legal system that it does can extend the courtesy of sending people home after ten years eleven years twelve years of captivity. maybe we need to have a good look in the mirror and take a look at ourselves. james seen as a former u.s. army chaplain who worked at guantanamo bay he was arrested and charged with aiding the enemy that had this and other charges dropped at a court but he claims that the real reason he was imprisoned. prisoner abuse at the facility. basically after objecting to the horrible conditions the enormous amount of abuse that was going on there i was real roaded and accused of being a terrorist myself and that landed me in prison by the u.s. military i was very much aware of the qur'an being desecrated there were reports stories from prisoners how they were maybe subjected to being put in you know what
1:09 am
you might call this a tiny circle where interrogators attempted to force them to you know make prostration like in the form of the muslim prayer in the center of that's a turning circle and then of course there was such a humiliation being carried out on the part of female interrogators down in guantanamo. on the way for you profiting from pollution we report in britain electronic scrap and others making a pile of cash from illegal digital dumping. it seems to many patients being treated by britain state medical system injuring one painting gain have been hundreds of serious plan this national health service hospitals in the possible yes causing people severe disabilities or even killing them artes political has examined the problem and got to meet some of the victims of n.h.s. medical negligence. it was meant to be

a routine operation to remove her varicose veins but after a surgical blunder lorraine previn suffered from complications that were left on treated she ended up having her leg amputated. you know and. didn't want to do next basically just seem to fall between. the gap between everything that was going on this is the hospital where lorraine's routine operation went wrong and why she had to have her leg amputated as a result three years later and she's finally got an apology from grantham hospital but she's still fighting for compensation with the n.h.s. over the catalogue of errors that took place with her cat trying to get on says after the surgery merely added insult to injury a quarter of complaints in three ospital and claimed the said the. medical files it was just. play on are still going to wall the questions are always asking

1:12 am
also higher management you know we're just more stressed now and we have a lot of pressures to complete things on time and you know we're not being able to deliver the care that we want to it's well patient so it's probably quite the best effects remember so well n.h.s. staff talk about being overstretched hospital managers of blaming the problems on squeezed budgets a senior n.h.s. official recently said that they're about to run out of cash in a very serious fashion all the countries in europe by and large spend a lot more money on health care than we did research report by our recent run. as one of the lowest in terms of patients we're paying too much or too little care the rain is adjusting to life as an amputee she now has to rely on her husband to care for her it was a run to shock. i think something larissa locked into so happen in two of the people but when it actually happens to you personally and you feel

1:15 am
hassan rouhani proposes direct talks with washington at his first news conference since being sworn into office the details now from our friends iran's new president hassan rouhani has called for dialogue with the west but warned the language of sanctions will not work he won june's a vote by promising to put an end to the country's international isolation over its nuclear energy program rouhani made his stance clear in his inaugural address. i see this kind of be if you seek a suitable answer speak to iran through the language of respect not through the language of sanctions. so iran's president has extended an olive branch and what have we seen from western countries so far new sanctions had to be imposed just a few days before the president was sworn in the u.s. house of representatives overwhelmingly passed new restrictions on iran's oil sector and its mining and construction industries even though invited some western leaders didn't even attend the president's inauguration some say it was an
1:16 am
opportunity missed to break the ice there is a new president but does that signal a new approach every action is sure to be analyzed and gesture evaluated the possibility of direct talks between the united states and iran hasn't happened in over three decades in september a new round of negotiations is expected between iran and the international community hillary mann leverett runs a think tank which deals with energy issues and things that washington no one make the concessions that iran once it's hard to see how they're they can meet in the middle that you issues or the islamic republic of iran that i think are ensconced in international law or that the united states recognizable its sovereign right and its the right to enrich uranium that's something that the united states has shown no evidence it is willing or able to do with the the obama administration and congress the other piece that critically important for the islamic republic is for
1:17 am
the united states to lift at least some of its sanctions that it has imposed on the islamic republic enforced or tried to coerce countries from around the world to impose on the islamic republic of iran that too will be very very difficult for president obama to leverage because many most nearly sixty sixty five percent of the sanctions in holy on iraq are now are now legislated are now in u.s. law president obama simply does not have the power to lift those sanctions without the acquiescence of. another surveillance scandal has struck the united states this time it's america's energy drug agency that's investigated for spying and then lying about it so as we report online. and big brother catches one of the day shows a red handed the full video is on the billion hit to you tube channel if you want to see what happened to that big.

story as we get more information. right now as technology gets better so all pile of office leads end up trying to get bigger although recycling this rubbish in the u.k. can turn a tidy profit some traders are cashing in on shipping the problem abroad illegally exploiting soft laws on handling the hard way and so for its reports. with the pace of technology ever changing yesterday's essential. electronic waste known as waste is the fastest expanding way stream. but been investigating as the industry's growing. concerns around illegal trading so this is why our electronic. you might be quite surprised by. the recycling companies that are able to extract precious metals like the copper.
1:20 am
as well as the mater around one point five million tonnes of electronic cycling every year. and yet research just around a third of that is actually being. such as this one so where does the rest of it go. east. in this country and i think. in the trade in treatment of the waste is regulated under the e.u. directive which came into force in two thousand and seven and it's supposed to make sure that anything that can not be exported to developing countries but industry insiders estimate that up the whole of all computers discarded in the u.k. and illegal trade.
1:21 am
but. so few. places. you know. so maybe. in the last few years the government body the environment agency has been slowly getting to grips with the problem and has made a number of successful prosecutions despite the costs of recycling but the cyclists are turning a profit as the cost of metal they extract from the goods is high but the growth of the illegal industry means there are concerns black market traders could price these reputable recyclers houses the market is wrong and it will affect. you know
