me and the. kurdish civilians all fall victim to the war in syria as al qaeda linked groups are pushed to expand their control to set up an islamic state also. we were told not to interact with them not to look at them as human subtopic but not to speak with them we talked to a former guantanamo god of the disturbing day job at the notorious jail which led him to quit and convert to islam. and anguish instead of age a major medical gaffe said britain's government funded hospitals and leave hundreds of patients suffering we examine the problems plaguing the energy and meet some of the victims. to.

learn from moscow you watching r t you with me to mom would say let's take a look and a bulletin the sound. any further delays in starting an international peace conference on syria could prove fatal according to russian foreign minister sergei lavrov this comes as the number of civilian fatalities rises in the war torn country amid disturbing reports of four hundred fifty kurds being killed by militants in northeastern syria now according to an iranian news channel hundreds of women and children were massacred in a kurdish area in our locker which came under attack by al qaeda linked fighters now we could go to jihad is a row captured two hundred civilians from two kurdish villages in aleppo syria's kurds are raising the alarm over ethnic cleansing by al qaeda linked groups it comes amid reports that the militants are about to announce an independent islamic state in northern syria now our very own artie's correspondent is in the region it

. is following developments three. 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 off a loser front unfortunately at this point we cannot get any definite confirmation of this having actually taken place 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 to watch the crisis in syria is absolutely needed as soon as possible there also have been reports coming in that several kurds have been set on fire by the own news there front there is a video circulating the internet which shows just that unfortunately the video is

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 qaida 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 i actually have now with me a journalist for example 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 were killed. also are surrounded and as it is it is more than three hundred. if. people speeding them with them and they are kidnapping by their own we are not trying to reach them we are not there to treat this disease to confound what happened exactly but they are starting to expect that you're just really just stupid and said they forced to thank you so much for joining us again basically what we're looking at a picture here is the courage for our on the receiving end of the confrontation that's happening between the extremists affiliated with al qaida operating in northeastern syria of course the kurds are coming under fire because they are there and that is thinking about establishing an al qaeda states in this very region. our team managed to talk to a relative of one of the kurdish victims who described what these people are going through in syria. militants and other rebel force surrounded the village they

started going from door to door entering every house if there were any men the killing of 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. i mean all fears of an al kind 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 allege interceptions of conversations between two all kind of leaders but with radical militant groups among the syrian rebels who are enjoying washington's support something american political analyst call him cavell 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 it was a moderate democratic opposition which is the areas that anybody who is following this we're supporting al qaida just hardens who are master in the people america

should not resort to these type of extremist fighters we should not be violent and about and we should not be working to support the gulf markets right now to john mccain and vandeven saltless on a regular dictating us foreign 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 they're very spending millions of dollars funding all your jets which they have no knowledge about and just killing people and send you their kids over there to die will be closely following the escalating tensions between the different syria groups in syria and the situation for civilians say on air and online. the hunger strike at guantanamo bay has receded or during the holy month of ramadan and attention has now turned to how the detainees are being treated theme we've

heard accounts from several prisoners who described the day to retain of invasive body searches which sometimes included sexual assault terry holbrook so worked as a guard at the prison can be 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 had 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 as guards 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 them as as being a political logical or ethical in some circumstances and as a result such we didn't implement them and over one 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 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 see as a former u.s. army chaplain who worked at guantanamo bay he was arrested and charged with aiding the enemy but had this and other charges job at. but he claims the real reason he was imprisoned wants will object to prison abuse at the facility. basically after objecting to the horrible conditions the normal 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 you might call this a turning circle where interrogators attempted to force them to you know make prostration like in the form of the muslim prayer in the center of the circle and then of course there was sexual humiliation being carried out on the part of female interrogators down in guantanamo. on the way for profiting from pollution we report on britain's ever growing electronic scrap and that is making a pile of cash from illegal digital dumping. it seems that too many patients are being treated by britain's state to medical system mind during more pain than gain happen hundreds of serious blunders that national health service hospitals in the past four years causing people severe disabilities or even killing them i just want a boy who 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 seemed to fall between. the thing 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 care trying to get answers after the surgery merely added insult to injury a court of complaint in three ospital and claimed the said the. medical files it was just. play on are still going to war the questions are always asking

lorraine isn't the only patient to receive substandard care from the national health service over recent years john about why it was left with excruciating pain after a bladder operation only to discover three months later that doctors had left seven inch forceps inside her the n.h.s. calls such incidents never events blunders deemed so serious that they should never happen to freedom of information requests have revealed that over the past four years there have been seven hundred and sixty two such mistakes we measure patient satisfaction every every year i suspect at the moment it probably is pretty low i came into the n.h.s. in one nine hundred seventy seven and i was told i only had five years to last because it was on its knees every year that i spent in it it was the worst it ever been i think it's in a crisis i think it has to change its culture recent scandals have exposed higher

than average death rates in failing high. spittles not just myself but my colleagues 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 to our patients it's having quite a best effect remember so well n.h.s. staff talk about being overstretched hospital managers 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 for 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. and you feel down you

feel lying we open it and it was just a mixture of all those rolled into a wall and it was just a. thing she now says that she can only hope that no more patients have to go through what she did. r.t. london more news coming ahead here on our team as we report on the positive signals from iran's new president on approaching nuclear talks with the west we'll have more of that after the shop rick.

do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn it into angles the stories. you hear. it all teach spanish to find out more visit i. welcome back you're watching our chief annoying international news. is a ride now engulfed by

a giant inferno it's in the arrivals hole from ways smoke it can be seen following up for miles around all passengers and stuff have been evacuated and no casualties are reported nairobi international airport which is currently closed is is east africa is a main flight home. goodwill and no hidden agendas iran's terms for negotiations with the west its nuclear program new iranian president hassan rouhani proposed direct talks with washington at his first news conference since being sworn into office the details now from artie's lindsey 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 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 if you speak of student loans or speak to them 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 have 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 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 although in september a new round of negotiations is expected between iran and the international community hillary mann leverett who runs a think tank which deals with energy issues and things washington one may become

sessions said to run once it's hard to see how they're they can meet in the middle that you issue is or the islamic republic of iran that i think are ensconced in international law or that the united states recognized both its sovereign right and its treaty 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's critically important for the islamic republic is for the united states to lift at least some of it sanctions that it has imposed on the islamic republic enforcer 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 six 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 congress. another serena scandal has struck the united states this time it's america's entry drugs agency that's investigated for spying and then lying about it as we report online. and the big brother catches on though deja is bad red handed the full video is on a billion hits channel you can watch it. right there seems to. search for. and i think you're. on our reporters were very. instrumental i. am.

writing to as technology gets better so pile of obsolete electronics to get bigger although recycling this rubbish in the u.k. can turn a tidy profit some traders like cashing in on shipping the problem brought he could be exploiting soft goals on handing the hard way sorry for the london reports. with the pace of technology ever changing yesterday's essential. electronic waste known as a waste is the fastest expanding way stream in the u.k. but been investigating as the industries. have concerns around illegal trading so this is why our electronic waste. you might be quite surprised by what. holds. the recycling companies that are able to extract precious metals like the

broken. down. there's a cost involved so if you. took place in africa. you know very. many 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 out if the market is wrong and it will affect someone you

know down the line in my affections and if people continue to do wrong and illegally you know the trade left for us and other legitimate merchants so yeah it does have a big impact in wisconsin about things going in the right line in the countries receiving the way its young children are often involved in breaking down the equipment much of which contains harmful chemicals experts warn that the potential consequences to health could be dire countries which are you know placed so differently not be have the capacity to deal with it are the countries which i took logically so advanced they have the financial resources they have the infrastructure to describe for us i think there is certain amount of responsibility behalf more responsibility to deal with this and to ensure that the poor countries . boston but.
