world's attention to the place that some gulag of arts minds. an obgyn probe into a series of virtual civilian killings as crops also washington refuses to howl despite allegations from locals of american involvement in the deaths from a drunk is besides his gold evidence pointing to the truth is behind us operations stuff. the u.s. supported only the decades long sanctions regime against iran despite predictions and you can let it go stations in geneva will break new ground. to britain's top calls its an immigration problem by sending out a threatening text messages on vines with intimidating advertising but its effectiveness is testing the public's patience.

russia and around the wild this is a scene with me. and welcome to the program. i'm going to tell the germans has been left by half a world 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 scrub the probe into the murders in washington refuse to cooperate that's despite the victims being identified as a group of locals detained by a u.s. special forces unit or pointing in the area however military officials in washington have long said the troops have no connection to the killings and journalist matthieu aikins spent five months investigating the incident and described his experience in the rolling stone magazine in an interview with aussies loosely confident he claims the evidence is sincere just american involvement. the

special forces team the green beret eighteen 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 well the military says that it opened a criminal investigation so they declined to comment for the story save the queen all 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 a u.s. military investigator so it really does beg the question of whether these investigators 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 a continued lack of any sort of accountability for individuals or at the implicated in these kinds of abuse of detainees was 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 . the cases i'm seeing between washington and kabul over the security box that will shape the future role of u.s. troops in the country beyond the main twenty four scene was troll he's going there to check and explains afghan authorities have repeatedly asked the u.s. to allow them to question the soldiers at the base but the u.s. repeatedly rebuffed the request u.s. forces are immune from afghan law not so 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 front of afghan people. this is an insult to come this hour french is hit hard. every fifteen days ago my colleague tried to commit suicide because you might not need to tell what he was created to grown to be renewed to a report food suicide as the surge highest cause of death among thought unable to cope with rising costs and low incomes the details are just ahead. despite some progress the nuclear talks with iran in geneva america's relations with terror ron remain in

a so-called state of emergency there obama administration has renewed its sanctions regime first imposed nearly three decades ago after the islamic revolution in a report. u.s. president barack obama says it's necessary for the thirty plus year 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 ed fiercely opposed to easing sanctions against tehran in

told 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 my colleague. an expert on iran and to us foreign policy analyst and she believes there was no will a tool from the u.s. to put an end to the nuclear stalemate with iran in the first place. mr obama is sending very clear message to tara that whatever agreement does make with iran have

a future it cannot be trusted as it was not trusted in the past i don't believe for a moment that from the onset there was any desire to reach a deal where we were there i mean the whole of the it was the actions were just that modest means that we actually takes a listen to jay carney here we're going to run a grab from him where he talks about washington's stance toward tehran 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 it that statement aimed toward the united states farm policy has always be 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 mr carney of addressing the american people is not saying this to the right is not in the american political or right along with

a zero there's been another diplomatic road blocking cheney by put out by friends the country's foreign minister opposed a potential agreement calling the trump deal a fool's game international affairs columnist have began to newspaper steel explained why his sayings paris is getting tough. france was 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 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 toppled 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 one honest is on tehran's talks with the west to show to tune into a piece program crosstalk that's coming your way in twenty minutes. and one general times it was of them spoke directly saying that binyamin netanyahu one directly law five use that if the deal was a bad deal then they would be immediate action by israel on a certain number of. nuclear plants ok michael it sounds like 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 the. 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 bold go home advertising but as lower smith reports now the ideas don't appear to be striking a chord with the public. your phone is a text message a friend asking if you'll free for dinner 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 for 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 pointing to what's there 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 launch multicultural 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 euchre but it's a pretty unseemly 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 gotten him as a result of bands cheaper than forcibly removing them apparently but at the cost of

the goodwill of immigrant communities country whites laura smith. and as always we'll have a traditional breakdown. wealthy british style sun it's time to rise. to the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on. if you've. got no opportunity. to start to construct your current. you don't want to be bit gives don't want to be gangstas you don't want to be drug dealers they don't want

years of milk and meat had to plough 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 he is ninety nine hundred twenty. he credited when to be renewed to look. we were very long hours seven days a week there were simply disconnected from the rest of french society who work hard and keep our heads down but mama look around we don't count when we actually have to damascus corrosion the plight of french farmers as with causing a lot of frazzled recent reports show that between 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 cancer and cardiovascular diseases alarm bells are already ringing at the ministry of agriculture but farmers warn of the reality is even worse on their insurance

reasons even if it is said to be an accident because the bank won't pay visa learn everything. so the figures are wrong one farmer a day commit suicide in song when farmers are indebted to the bank. the same day debt collectors and with someone else in 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 they can exceed the suicide rate among farmers we're talking about those producing milk and meat is thirty percent higher than the general working population of the same age samas have more trouble talking about their problems and we observed when they decide to take their lives they tend to go through with that doc sickly france is the biggest beneficiary of e.u. farm aid nine billion euros a year in 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 don't wait for the better off court farmers but the first ration has long boiled over isabelle hopes change comes before another farmer she knows throws in the towel duster sylvia r.t. brittany. the syrian government has asked western powers to provide a host of military vehicles to safely trans to safely transport chemical weapons out of the country but the plea has reportedly been denied as the u.s. and its allies are unwilling to give damascus any material support western diplomatic sources say their governess refused to help president assad strengthen his position anyway syria has so far been complying with international agreements on chemical dissolve and under threat to relinquish all of its stockpiles by next summer the political analyst ibrahim aloof says the last case has one big job ahead . the west is trying to make it hard for the syrian regime to our boy

by the convention at has faithfully agreed to sign and implement having accepted to remove its chemical weapons the syrian regime needs certain the equipment to be able to transfer 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. into the arms of the armed gangs in syria the so-called so really a more peaceful opposition. let's now take a look at some other international news headlines and breve let's take a three month state of emergency rule trade the military sweeping powers to make warrantless so wet the measures were introduced in all this stuff are deadly quiet down on supporters of ousted president mohamed morsy that means

a tree branch government is now preparing a new tool to regulate public protests in an apparent bid to keep the islamist opposition to break. the philippine president how sharply downgraded the expected death toll from last week's devastating typhoon but he knew kaino says the previous estimate of ten thousand victims should be revised down to no more than two and a half thousand the government's currently struggling with relief efforts and is counting on incoming foreign support to help recover from the disaster. one of the world's top computer security experts has warned of a new mean global cyber war future and a spare skate claims a russian nuclear plants could bear traced from creeping computer viruses the details of the story i asked archie dot com for you. and how much more cash needs to be a splash to bring for

a theater though instead it was on the side of the home inhabited by department of homeland security nominee jay johnson has 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 lloyd 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 lloyd 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 mindset 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 the george bush to push the limit while the certainly did change the minds now were completely detached from any sort of warfare or foreign policy that were perpetrated around the world. china is seeking to diversify its economic development by putting more emphasis on markets and the private sector that's the indication from the country's ruling communist party with specific details of the move to be announced shortly let's not get reaction and insight from china expert dr phil stone punt bug. welcome to aussies great to have you with us how big enough how big an overhaul could this potentially be for the country's massive economy and what role will the communist

party play here i mean how will this affect its control over the corner me rather than the general secretary delivered the work report from the center of. the report speaks of all the modernisation or for government. wants emphasis on. a more public service oriented government and leaving the markets forward decisive role and resources that sounds like more government than less but mind you want the markets in previous years were just as wrong so it's an improvement with china is seeking to overtake the u.s. as the world's largest economy how could these latest developments affect beijing's ambitions and progress as well. i think this year a certain report must be seen in the greater. china are promises to be called

a modernized society in one hundred years since the establishment of the people's republic of china soared to throw thirty million roughly where you do so at the moment china doesn't seem to want to lead the worst and the respected ones to modernize it and france's own market reforms on how many instances and all of this it doesn't warm for the world at the moment it seems russia and china have been talking for years about setting up a global reserve currency to rival the us dollar when can we expect this to materialize well there are of course. there were reports it doesn't mention this there's no country timeline but i'm sure that the power of reading be in general richest increase over the next that. right so china expert dr phil stone pot bug mr pot about thank you very much indeed for your perspective
