i just really do not want to die. an afghan probe into a series of brutal civilian killings but after washington refuses to help spike allegations from american involvement in the deaths here we actually hear from a journalist who says he's got evidence pointing to the truth behind the operations in afghanistan. america decades long sanctions regime against iran despite predictions that nuclear negotiations in geneva will accomplish. its immigration problem by sending out text messages with intimidating advertising but its effectiveness is simply the public's patience.

headlines live from moscow with today with me rory sushi i thank you for joining us afghan intelligence has been left baffled by the mystery surrounding the bodies of ten civilians dug up near a u.s. army outpost close to kabul but there seems little chance those responsible will be found afghanistan has now decided to scrap the probe into the murders off the washington refused to cooperate despite the victims being identified as a group of locals detained by u.s. special forces who were operating directly in that area however military officials in washington have long said their troops have no connection to the killings a journalist. spent five months investigating the incident in an exclusive interview with. an off he claims the evidence he's seen suggests american involvement. the special forces team the green beret

a team as they're called was deployed to an isolated valley west of kabul where the taliban and other insurgent groups have a very heavy presence and what happened was over last winter the locals are complaining that the special forces team and the translators were murdering people torturing them abducting them and disappearing them just extraordinary allegations that at the time were essentially unproven after the special forces team was forced out of the area by the afghan government bodies started showing up outside the base bodies that they said were the bodies of ten men who had been seen rounded up by the americans and then were not able to be found either by the red cross or by the afghan government afterward so i essentially investigated these allegations and assembled a huge body of testimony from locals from officials. also learned about two confidential u.n. and red cross investigations that corroborated the allegations that suggested that

the special forces and their translators were indeed responsible for these men's fate potential war crime allegations that they prove to be correct has there been any accountability for what happened while the military says that it opened a criminal investigation so they declined to comment for the story say that the criminal the speeches ongoing but in the five months that i spent reporting the story a single one of the witnesses that i spoke to had ever been contacted by u.s. military investigators so it really does beg the question of whether these. years are actually going to be able to establish any sort of accountability for what happened there well certainly disturbing indeed but this isn't the first time that we've heard of allegations of torture and abuse by western forces in afghanistan and i wonder if you can sort of speak more broadly about this in a wider context well while the allegations and these incidents are kind of unprecedented in their severity and scale they do fit part of a larger pattern of recurring abuse. of detainees in u.s.

and afghan allied custody as well as continued lack of any sort of accountability for individuals or at the implicated in these kinds of abuses of detainees is a recurring pattern of abuse and a recurring pattern of a lack of accountability and this incident really has to be seen in the context of that and the case is just adding tensions between washington and kabul over the security pact that will shape the future role of u.s. troops in the country beyond the main twenty fourteen withdrawal picking up the story for us now aussies guy in a chicken. afghan authorities have repeatedly asked the u.s. to allow them to question the soldiers at the base but the u.s. repeatedly if we barfed the request u.s. forces are immune from afghan law not full long the immunity issue is the very stumbling block on the way to an agreement between the u.s. and afghanistan under which some u.s. troops would stay in afghanistan past twenty four teen and that's what the obama

administration wants immunity for the troops so that they can stay beyond two thousand and fourteen the same agreement that the u.s. wanted with iraq but iraq refused to grant u.s. forces further immunity from justice incidents like the killing of civilians in the word out province make it that much more difficult for the afghan government to justify such an agreement with the u.s. seen fun of afghan people thanks for joining us here in our teeth today still to come for you in the program friend shagger culture it's taken a big hit report puts the suicide is the third highest cause of death among farmers unable to cope with rising costs and low incomes are those details just ahead. but for now here on r t despite some progress of the nuclear talks with iran in geneva america's relations with tehran remain in a so-called quote state of emergency the obama administration has renewed its sanctions regime first imposed nearly three decades ago after the iranian islamic

revolution. portnoy reports. u.s. president barack obama says it's necessary for the thirty plus years state of national emergency against iran to continue due to the fact that relations between washington and tehran have not returned to normal ironically the move comes as the international community continues taking significant steps to broker a deal over iran's disputed nuclear program now although last week's marathon ministerial talks in geneva ended without a deal on going to go between iran and western powers have been praised as constructive and comprehensive with discussions scheduled to continue next week now the biggest obstacle to a breakthrough has been america's ally israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been publicly skeptical and fiercely opposed to easing sanctions against tehran in total or unless its nuclear program is completely dismantled now u.s.

lawmakers have promised to wait for a rethinking by secretary of state john kerry this week before deciding whether to impose tough new sanctions on iran but in the meantime pro israel groups have reportedly been ramping up lobbying efforts on capitol hill pushing for more measures now some experts speculate that obama's ongoing state of emergency against iran has more to do with appeasing israel reporting from new york. r.t. and earlier my colleague tried to talk to a serai can export on iran the us foreign policy analyst she believes that there was no will it all from america in the first place to put an end to the nuclear stalemate with a world. mr obama is sending a very clear message to tara that whatever agreement does make with iran in the future it cannot be trusted as it was not tested in the past i don't believe for a moment that from the onset there was any desire to reach

a deal or i mean the whole of the negotiations were just a modest piece of the actual x. listen to jay carney here we're going to run a grab from him where he said talks about washington's stance toward tehran and the american people. justifiably and understandably prefer a peaceful solution that prevents iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon the american people do not want a march to war what do you think carney was addressing there what side was that statement aimed toward the united states foreign policy has always been about influencing the public opinion the domestic public opinion so that they could push their foreign policy agenda and that this is exactly what it is this economy is addressing the american people is not saying this to the ranch is going to the american one. and along with israel there's been another diplomatic roadblock in geneva though it was laid out by france the country's foreign minister of posed

a potential agreement calling the draft deal quote a fool's game international affairs columnist at the guardian newspaper jonathan steele explain why he thinks paris is getting so tough. france is convinced to do ronnie's meddling in a region which was traditionally at least in colonial times under french influence i mean syria and lebanon and they feel they took a very hawkish line against bashar al assad the president of syria when the uprising began two years ago they thought he would be talking quickly and they feel that it's really thanks to russia diplomatically and iran militarily that assad is still there and they feel very annoyed to angry over that and the second reason i think is quite simply money they see that saudi arabia is also having a row with the united states partly of iran but partly over other issues and i think they feel that they can get their foot in the arms sales door and take over as one of the major suppliers to saudi arabia which of course is

a hugely lucrative market and for more analysis on to iran's talks with the west you can check out pedophiles program crosstalk that's ahead for you next hour in about eighty five minutes from now though a quick preview. of one join or times of it was it and spoke directly saying that binyamin netanyahu one directly off of use that if the deal was a bad deal then they would be immediate. by israel on the certain number of. nuclear plants ok michael it sounds like that there was that's extortion right there ok there is heavy pressure not just from the israelis but also from the saudis and other gulf countries warning the americans not to go too far the question for iran then arises is the united states really committed to the kind of end game that was understood when they began this round of talks and i think that iran may in fact be wondering whether that is the case i think that's the real

danger of this nation. well. sunny it's technology innovations all the least developed from around russia we've got the future covered. but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports to the pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point i'm going to say that if mr k.l.a. car is on the docket. no more weasel words. when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you have to punch be ready for

a battle freedom of speech and down to freedom to cost. if you. know opportunity. to construct your own. time but he can't be we can see. you just me as i was when i was in the hood. i. said. i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young.

if you're just joining us welcome to the program here on our team today and the u.k. is attempting to curb its immigration problem with the use of a controversial campaign illegal immigrants are being ushered towards the exit with text messages and vehicles with advertising that says go home but it's obvious laura smith reports the ideas appear to be testing the public's. your phone is a text message a friend. or your mom just checking your ok but no it's the home office telling you you are illegal in this country and have to leave this is the text got fair enough if he was illegal but he's not and he doesn't even know how

they got his details i have been a british citizen for at least thirty years in this country so. it's all part of a government campaign to weed out illegals first round threatening. and now they're sending threatening texts although the home office denies sending one to chan it's triggered two hundred complaints but the government defends the program we are taking proactive steps to contact individuals who records show have novelli right to be in the u.k. some of which date back to december two thousand and eight we believe it's right to enforce the immigration rules chan who's an immigration case officer reckons it won't have any effect on genuine illegals they'll just get a new sim card but will intimidate and alienate entirely legitimate community is

pointing to what we're not welcome in this country chinatown in london's west end is where the majority of china's clients work and he says several of them have themselves received messages from the hope that together with a series of surprise raids on restaurants by the u.k. border agency makes the u.k. a pretty scary place to be chinese or indeed any kind of ethnic minority at the moment bans texts and raids all add up say activists to an anti immigrant campaign and jeremy corbyn m.p. who represents a lot. constituency says we can expect to see more of it as the general election approach. and it's essentially a battle for political ground between the right wing conservatives in the far right ukip and it's a pretty seemly image that we're getting this is electioneering paid for by the taxpayer knows strike great data is available yet for the forty thousand text messages sent all day the home office reports just eleven illegal immigrants have

gone home as a result of the van it's cheaper than forcibly removing them apparently but at the cost of the goodwill of immigrant communities country whites laura smith. the syrian government's asked western powers to provide a host of military vehicles to safely transport chemical weapons out of the country but the police has reportedly been denied is the u.s. and its allies are unwilling to give damascus any type of material support a western diplomatic sources say their governments refused to help president assad strengthen his position in any way syria has so far been complying with international agreements on chemical disarmament and his jew to relinquish all stockpiles by next summer but a political analyst even he may louche he says damascus has a very big job ahead. the west is trying to make it hard for the syrian regime to abide by the convention at has faithfully

agreed to sign and implement having accept the to remove its chemical weapons the syrian regime needs certain the equipment to be able to transfer to some of the costs of chemical weapons outside syria and that needs to be done. a protected manner so these weapons would not fall prey. to the arms of the armed gangs in syria the so-called so windy and more peaceful opposition are always a lot of stories that are dot com right now for example one of the world's top computer security experts warning of a looming global cyber war eugene can spur ski claims that russian nuclear plants could be a risk from crippling computer viruses those details right now on our website. also

the crisis what crisis you had over to r.t. dot com you can find out how the super rich managed to get even richer in the most recent years evidently untouched by any sort of economic downturn. right to see. first street. and i would think that you're. on our reporters would. be in the. we're going to be all tabletop in a moment but although the die are economic times that have ruined many lives and it seems in france they've taken them as well a recent report cites an alarming rate of suicide among french farmers artie's test

or australia travel to one of the worst hit regions. since two thousand and eight years of milk and meat have had to plow on the face of rising production costs and a fall in profits with some farmers taking it much harder than others. fifteen days ago my colleague tried to commit suicide because his bank manager told him he's credited won't be renewed after that i do respect the way we work very long hours seven days a week they were simply disconnected from the rest of french society because work hard and keep our heads down but mama look around we also. do we actually have. the plight of french farmers has been causing a lot in france a recent report showed that missing two thousand and seven and two thousand and nine a total of four hundred eighty five farmers had committed suicide but that's an average of one a suicide every two days making it the third biggest cause of death after careless or and cardiovascular diseases alarm bells are already ringing at the ministry of

agriculture but farmers warn the reality is even worse for insurance reasons even if it is said to be an accident because the bank won't pay for his alone if it's a suicide so the figures are wrong one farmer. dey commit suicide in strongs when farmers are in debt the bank should not immediately send a debt collectors get someone else from the social system who can assess the situation and help find a solution brittany where isabel is from is the french region with the highest number of suicides the suicide rate among farmers we're talking about those producing milk and meat is ceci percent higher than the general working population of the same age samas have more trouble talking about the problems and we observe the when they decide to take their lives they tend to go through with it paradoxically france is the biggest beneficiary of e.u. farm aid nine billion euros a year the twenty fourteen to twenty twenty period but most of that money doesn't

reach small farmers french president francois long has already pledged to shift almost a one billion euros towards the livestock farmers and away from the better off caught farmers but the frustration has long boiled over isabelle hopes change comes before another farmer she knows throws in the towel does or sylvia r.t. britain welled up at a time when the program to egypt we go with just lifting a three month curfew on a state of emergency which gave the military sweeping powers to make warrantless arrests of the measures were introduced in all this stuff for a deadly crackdown on supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsy and the military backed government now preparing a new law to regulate public protests in an apparent bid to keep the islamist opposition. the philippine president has sharply downgraded the expected death toll from last week's devastating typhoon benigno aquino says the previous estimate of

ten thousand victims should be revised down to no more than two and a half thousand of the government's currently struggling with relief efforts and is counting on the incoming foreign support to help recover from the disaster. and u.s. sources say the governor. will finally recognize nigeria is the most vocal as a terrorist organization after holding back for two years the notorious al qaeda wants to impose islamic law or in nigeria and has killed off dozens of civilians in a series of attacks other u.s. move would allow washington to put financial pressure on board and how it's growing influence in the african country. might soon become costly for anyone to be annoying in the u.k. if new anti social laws are approved getting on somebodies nerves could get you in well two years in prison or even a fine opponents of the bill claim its phrasing is far too vague and opens itself

wide up for interpretation among other things it will also undermine people's rights to protest that's according to activists kerri-anne mendoza. attempting to do is give to police. to make any lawful protest immediately illegal simply because i quote this directly from the legislation may has always like. nuisance or annoyance as you can imagine the whole point of protest is to cause nuisance and annoyance is to get in the way to disrupt people in their ordinary daily lives you can have them focus on an otherwise ignore. issue which is really important the more a new thing about this piece of legislation is it also allows the police to then people from what they call a pallet and he hasn't been defined so it could be a city county a country. maybe really lays out again the intervention of

a court of law. is the western war on terror defeating terrorism or merely exacerbating it takes it on in today's edition of breaking this. last night georgetown residents got an exclusive screening of a new drone movie outlining human cost of this covert warfare it wasn't a theater though instead it was on the side of the home inhabited by department of homeland security nominee jay johnson yes code pink organize the event in order to bring light to the fact that johnson is one of the main individuals behind the legal justification for these unmanned killer robots and while it's true that many people are responsible for the creation and codification of the drone program one historian argues that the buck stops where we at the white house is name is void gardner is the author of sixteen different books on us foreign policy is the latest is called killing machine the american presidency in the age of drone warfare so

what are your book is a strong indictment of obama's presidency in terms of foreign policy what has obama done to exacerbate the war on terror well that's a very complicated question he obviously inherited a very bad situation in iraq remember obama said he wanted to change the minds he not only wanted to change getting into the war why we got into the iraq war but the mindset that got us into the iraq war and many people assume that meant he was going to change some of the basic american foreign policies to george bush to push the limit while the certainly did change their minds and now we're completely detached from any sort of warfare or foreign policy that we are perpetrating around the world. it often is here in two hours' time but for now just ahead a dramatic glimpse into the diary of someone who survived over two years of siege
