we brought in video for your media project c.e.o. gargi dot com. so ballistic rockets launched in the mediterranean and detected by russia were part of an israeli missile defense death that briefly hiked censure in the region waiting for a possible u.s. strike on syria. with american troops preparing to leave afghanistan for good next chair washington's childish to close what seen as one of its violent prison facilities that considered so dark it makes good looks like a summer camp. and what comes to see a vet use all the crisis in the eurozone voters give a hard time to germany's genuine election hopefuls who they believe focus too little on will be main priorities should be.

international news life for most this is our see with me as you know our thanks for joining us is rojas carried out and announced a missile test in the mediterranean sparking an alert in light of a military buildup in the region for a potential strike on syria the confirmation came after the launch of two rockets was detected by russian graders. joins me now live with more details hi there you are so what do we know about the test and the speculations around it. well the missiles were launched at around five am g.m.t. in the mediterranean apparently in the central part of the sea and then headed towards the eastern coast and this was detected by russia's early warning system and then reported by the defense ministry at first no one else could officially confirm that this happened including israel and the u.s.

but then would heard from the israeli defense ministry which announced that this was a test of the new one thousand missile defense system they say was conducted with the assistance of washington although this still hasn't been confirmed by the united states israel says that a military plane fired a rocket which was then intercepted or shot down by an interceptor missile now this leak raises lots of questions over the timing of such tests and how appropriate they are at the moment in that area in the mediterranean very close to syria with the whole country and the region around it currently being flooded with tension and concern over a possible military intervention into the situation there by the west although most nato members said that they are not planning to take part in any military action against president assad's regime france and the u.s. seem to be ready to do so in fact earlier president obama said that washington may start a military operation without the approval of the u.n.

vote he did say he wanted to consult with congress with less than twenty four hours ago we've heard from u.s. secretary of state john kerry who said that in this situation the a pool of these congress isn't really essential this brings us back to the timing of this alleged test conducted by israel many military analysts say that possibly this was not a test of any. new anti missile defense system but in fact was a test of syrian air defense systems or possibly even of russia's early warning system or specifically the time it take. for these launches which take place in that area to be detected they see this is possibly what happened to be on tuesday but clearly this only increased the tensions and uncertainty in the region what will happen next and when as the international military buildup also continues.

to skin of a live there you are thank you very much indeed for bringing us up to speed. meanwhile there are massive u.s. and allied naval deployment in the eastern mediterranean off sirius coastline as well as in the persian gulf and the red sea russia's also sending warships to the troubled region but denies it squaring up to america let's now take a look at the u.s. fleet of their first five u.s. destroyers loaded with missiles along with and i'm fierce assault ships are already in the mediterranean poised for a potential strike there in addition an aircraft carrier group moved to the red sea from the indian ocean to support an attack on syria if ordered the carrier the u.s.s. nimitz is one of the largest warships in the world at more than three hundred meters long it's powered by a nuclear reactors and has ninety blazing planes and helicopters on board it's accompanied by a cruiser and three destroy. the u.s.

military buildup in the region is taking place ahead of our congressional debate next week on whether to support barack obama's decision to strike syria as the chorus of those against washington's military involvement is growing at home and now apparently it's even been joined by some servicemen. that's judging by images uploaded on social media people wearing military uniforms saying brandishing posters saying they did not join up to find for al-qaeda in syria while the pictures can be verified already the pentagon is reportedly looking into the identities of those involved marine veteran golden dot explain to us why many within the u.s. military are not eager to support the syrian rebels. fifty to seventy percent of americans are clearly opposed to up. against syria and members of the military particularly the last five thousand killed fighting the same groups in iraq that we

are advocating that we support in syria so members of the military from either side and there are clear divisions in the military both the left and the right none of them have any reason to want to support syrian rebels president obama has got himself painted into a corner there is no way out. and while in the syrian capital the prospect of u.s. led strikes is not what scaring people the most autism or if international response now from damascus. we were last time in damascus a year ago now we returned and we decided to meet some of the people we've previously interviewed for our report but sadly many of them have either fled the chaos or were killed one of those who died was hamad rafia yon very successful very famous actor who was also another and activist he chose wards to defend his country and he was killed for that part of our. though. the movie was never learned

that we learn we met muhammad in july two thousand and twelve during the filming of one of the most popular syrian t.v. dramas where he played one of the leading roles syrian series used to be financially backed by the gulf states but after the conflict erupted here those countries vocal critics of the assad regime was jury investment from an industry that's made syria famous across the arab world they want to fight everything good in syria they don't want us to be. shows our drama to the word to shows our history or the way we live the way we love each other the way we take care of each other's that's why they stop they stop they are fighting us actually. exactly ten months after muhammad's death we meet his brother new. sort of one thought the evening

a guy who was supposed to be a friend of my homage asked him for a live somewhere muhammad helpless boy a lot because he was poor then nine people looking ahead of knowing grabbed him and the next day we got an anonymous tip that he had been killed in his body had been cut into pieces we didn't believe that he's only a civilian we thought why would anybody kill him several days later his body was fine so i am. i ever. was killed with three bullets one to his leg one to the stomach and one to his neck. you know this is. not such a welcome what during the kidnapping they want to take him alive to torture them to force him to confess that he was working for the government and then szell that al-jazeera of course the p.l.o. lot of money for that sort of thing like that he resisted to the death but you're.

right that she comes back and they too can they also took his car it's common that such cars are leaving used in terror attacks three weeks ago we got news there's been a car bombing and that was my car. no real brother died ten months ago exactly ten months ago why do you think he was killed he talked openly about what he thought. paul did the live here in searing damascus change in the last ten months and that may not last i shot him with after mohamed stance many people who supported the opposition changed their minds they knew that he was very kind and help people all people regardless of their beliefs so when he died they ask themselves what are the people who belong to the opposition doing if they kill innocent civilians some of them are nothing more than criminals. what do you think about a possible airstrike that america is now planning which i smile when they tell me about the american attack we syrians are only afraid of god we're not afraid of us

nor showed us another this time empty grave in the cemetery the boy's father who is also well known actor living in damascus has already reserved for himself. reason ocean r.t. from damascus syria. unless no further discount the situation in syria with jeremy corbyn british labor m.p. mr corbin welcome to r.t. it's good to have you with us the u.k. parliament has spoken against military intervention in syria is that certain start on or maybe there will be a call for another vote after the u.n. inspectors' report is released. there was a very clear decision last day in the british parliament not to be involved militarily in the syrian conflict and in a direct question to the prime minister at the end of that debate after the vote has been taken he said that he respected the will of parliament i've just come

a few minutes ago from the house of commons chamber where we were questioning the foreign secretary on this and he also reiterated that the government does accept the will of parliament that we're not going to be militarily involved i hope that's the case but there's always a possibility i suppose of the government my previous you back but i think it moves the british role into a wholly different plane the first time britain has voted not to be alongside the united states in only three conflict that i can remember since the vietnam war and secondly it does give a much needed impetus towards the g twenty summit which is being held in russia at the end of this week means that britain has not decided decided not to go in the u.s. congress has yet to vote on the subject and the result position to it all in france so maybe this is the opportunity for a serious diplomatic initiative involving russia as well as western europe the united states and obviously the gulf cooperation countries. and william hague also

says britain is still committed to a diplomatic solution to the crisis in syria do you believe peace talks diplomatic efforts can still bring peace. at the end of the day every war however horrible and bloody of this one has already cost one hundred thousand lives and two million refugees in neighboring countries has to be settled by some kind of political coming together the history of the region is one of the countries being the playthings of western imperial powers. between britain and france made in secret to its adventure. revelation by the russians in nineteen eighteen right through to the current borders that have been put down by nine hundred twenty two and of course the mandate territories but the end of the day the peace has to be one that has the support and agreement of the peoples of the region

so it's less outside interference and internal democracy that's important but also the pouring in of arms to various groups is not helping either and so there has to be an impetus to bring about a political solution and a change the g. twenty is the best opportunity to start this process very rapidly otherwise the u.s. will get involved there will be there will be further killing further mayhem and the record of afghanistan and iraq where there's been western involvement there has not been a peaceful solution but has been one of continuous destabilization and. talking about refugees in our then number of course is growing daily as does the potential influx of those fleeing the walls right now pose a threat to europe from your point of view. well i think the immediate

influx of refugees in. jordan and turkey into lebanon obviously is imposing an enormous strain on those countries just as the enormous influx of iraqi refugees many of the palestinian origin that went syria after the iraq war. made an enormous problem for them and so there is a question of immediately just logistical support to water clothing food medicine all the things that are essential does it pose a threat to europe well europe has responsibilities responsibilities for part of the conflict but also responsibilities within the geneva convention of giving people a place of safety and so i think that adds an added impetus to the need to get a settlement we don't want to have a repeat of the palestinian refugee crisis of one nine hundred forty eight which sixty years later there are still people living in palestine in refugee camps in

even greater numbers we don't want the legacy of this conflict to be met the next two or three generations living in refugee camps in jordan and lebanon and turkey there has to be a settlement and it has to allow the people to peacefully return and he has to be a society that respects diversity religious differences and can be a society at peace with itself. british jeremy called live from london mr corbin thank you very much indeed for your insights web rachet you very welcome thank you. and i would like to hear all she is saying about this arrest of a military strike on syria and on our website where asking will ban the game well look like it goes ahead with intervention plans and let's not have a look at our online poll and right now more than half of those who hop producer payton and a devastating region wide conflict will break out as the from both who voted see

levy as a blueprint for what could happen next fifteen percent believe washington wouldn't to hit out at sea or on its own and just a small number only eight percent agree any strike would be short and precise so do go to r.t. dot com and cost you around. martin employment tax evasion by the richest of the rich and the eurozone heading down a dead end pundits in germany believe those are just a small part of the vital issues being skirted around during the country's genuine

lection campaign and hopes they want only to be debate would have ranged night critical have left us disappointed they don't know how things health. the posters around the flesh is being pressed but this german election campaign is full of the setting pulses racing maybe that's the whole idea make it as boring as possible so i know everybody kind of goes to sleep and doesn't worry about the real issues what we have been treated to is chancellor angela merkel talking about potato soup the main challenger to reading fairy tales and the green party suggesting compulsory vegetarian days where does it stop i mean are they going to start cattle to refrigerators at home and check to see what you've got there as well i mean or they're going to shut down the burger kings and mcdonald's on tuesdays and so you have to serve edgy burgers aside from the greens apparent food fascism have been some peculiar manifesto promises the social democrats want legislation to prevent

stress in the workplace and the free democrats hoping to win over commuters by making it illegal for trains to be late all distraction tactics according to those hoping to win their first seats in the bundestag they don't want to touch the real problems with the euro crisis diminishing pension funds survey come up with things like the green party wanting a veggie day one reason being cited is the lack of a major issue for the parties to really attack each other on when you talk about their support for the government's decision to implement the same to initiate further payments for greece all said yes yes yes there is no real opposition in parliament. providing the comic relief in an otherwise dreary campaign. the party very easy to remember. with policies such as banning tourists

from berlin and building a wall around the whole of germany these jokers quietly confident we want to get into power and then we will decide what we are going to do with it what do you think the chances. our chances are pretty good and we expect to take one hundred percent of the vote and even more in all seriousness though with greece looking likely to need a third bailout package will be no laughing matter for those that come to power after september the twenty second they're going to have to deal with some real issues as they take their seats in the boat in the stock peter all of a. morning for you just a couple of minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you

your watching l.c.s. good to have you with us let's move on now the u.s. military's twelve year fight in afghanistan is drawing to a close but there is some unfinished business on the ground washington still doesn't know what to do with his jail in graham built in the edge of stagers of the war on terror it may be dubbed as the second gone taniwha but its reputation for torture abuse and leave for interrogation methods may pale even get. reports now on what the future holds for background. some call the program prison a second guantanamo although in reality it was established just before the detention center in cuba and at one point housed twice as many inmates at the height of the u.s. war in afghanistan but these are just details the two really could be called sister jails just like guantanamo bagram is used to detain people apprehended in the u.s. war and terror and has been around for more than

a decade the detention centers have both had their fair share of scandals surrounding the conditions in which the prisoners are held and the way they are treated humiliation of inmates by u.s. personnel physical and emotional abuse allegations of torture you can really sign off the checklist as you go for both prisons and of course the biggest common trait inmates in so-called administrative detention that's people who were arrested but never received a court trial they've been behind bars for years and will stay there for no one knows how long sure american officials insist some of detainees at bagram a hard core al qaeda operatives and will immediately get back to the old business of terrorism the minute they're set free and just look at guantanamo there are prisoners of program who have already been cleared for release and yet remain in jail sixty seven of them for more than a dozen different countries and no one knows what to do with them again sounds very familiar doesn't it however things that bug rome are slightly more complicated than i told him oh by the fact the facility has actually been handed over to the afghan

government which was deeply unhappy about having a foreign operated jail on its soil to begin with as soon as couple to full control of the ground in march it either transferred or released prisoners but what to do with the almost seventy foreign nationals that remain and what to do with the u.s. because some allege the americans are still very president fearing that i'm going to fishel israel releasing mates that the u.s. sees as a threat to its security and i'm going to fishel strongly dislike having these foreign detainees in their custody so far no solution has been provided by any side involved in this day in fact one top american military general has confessed that there is absolutely no plan on how to deal with the detainees at bagram so the stalemate looks set to drag on. and mars bag spent three years being dragged through america's attention program from blank ran to ground time of day it has live in background was so terrifying and she longs for a move to get. amongst the things that i witnessed was prisoners

being beaten in two cases actually physically to death one of the techniques they used to use was to hold us into common or souls our hands were tied above our heads to the top of the cage for punishment or for discipline a hood would be closer placed over our heads and we would be left there sometimes for hours on end and in this way i saw at least one person getting beaten so badly that it was that he was beaten to death and weren't even allowed to get up to walk we weren't even allowed to pray in congregation if we didn't comply with the orders would simply be taken to the front of the so what are the isolation cells and they would be physically tortured and i was during one interrogation i remember very clearly being interrogated by the cia with my hands tied behind my back to my legs and in the next room there was a sound of a woman screaming that they led me to believe was my wife being tortured and at the same time they were waving pictures of my children in front of me asking me what do

you think has happened to them where do you think they are right now suggesting that they were also in custody and this is the sort of place by graham was it was a terrible place and it was a place where i believe quite categorically that murder took place at the hands of u.s. soldiers for my part it was worse than kuantan in fact by the time i'd finished being a prisoner and bob graham for most eleven months i was actually looking forward to going to guantanamo. and online for you right now russian tycoons in the crosshairs of belorussian justice would be c.e.o. of one of the world's largest part of producers detained in misc minsk over corruption charges the authorities turned that tension to the company's principal shareholder. julian assange is no punches in washington as he urges a legal investigation over what hey claims is an unlawful fund down by the u.s. on the weekly leaks website says he marks at thousand days in confinement had to
