contributor afshin rattansi take a look. the u.k. prime minister david cameron called this attack an act of terrorism so does this now mean that every murder in the world will now be considered terrorism. it's a story that keeps giving the british prime minister indeed called an act of terrorism it obviously was terrifying but we're now hearing that the s.a.'s and i five were deeply involved in this in fact the british secret intelligence agencies brought this back to britain and put them on the streets hoping that because they'd freed them from captivity and again in jail we thank for woodstock of syndrome. but as to terror everywhere yes any type of crime involving a muslim in britain always somehow affiliated with a grand scheme definitely calls into question just the word and the meaning behind it why do you think that the m i five was so keen on hiring him if indeed what his friend says is true but it's also coming from other sources. and i'm going to tell you that when i weigh five i met someone from l.a. five when i was doing

contributor afshin rattansi believes the incident with the capture of the u.n. peacekeepers should make it harder for the u.s. to justify its favoritism towards the rebels in the future. if only the united states people realize that presumably john kerry will have to be telling mr putin you see the martyrs of yarmuk order they call themselves even as they kidnap twenty one u.n. observers enough for more filipinos i've been to the golan heights and the broken churches that i saw still today in the golan heights on the syrian side and the green fields on the other side but there but i think the key here is the american public needs to know that their government is supporting the defacto supporters or at least those very close to those who would have supported the nine eleven attacks and what we want now really is the american people to start writing to their congressman and say the united states must stop supporting these rebels because this is not going to benefit anyone in the middle east or the united states . and later today crosstalk examines the many unanswe

contributor afshin rattansi gave me his opinion on why the two sides are finding it so hard to find common ground. kerry is saying the united states every state is saying. that they have common interests they both promote regional stability prevent the spread of extremism is difficult and what russian president vladimir putin can possibly say to the u.s. secretary of state because we all know most of the world knows that the major powers have been doing exactly the opposite not promoting regional stability and helping the spread of extremism how have they managed to talk through these hours and less presumably mr putin is explaining to john kerry that the only way to prevent seasons to stop late to backing the rebels in syria what would john kerry be saying about the latest news concerning those u.n. peacekeepers being abducted by rebels doesn't that undermine the u.s. is support of the syrian opposition if only the united states people realize that presumably john kerry will have to be telling mr putin you see the martyrs of yarmuk order they call themselves even as they kidnap twenty one

contributor afshin rattansi says the rebels have no incentive to talk peace. the six days of talks in istanbul among the opposition groups seem to be failing disastrously as it was if you were in a room with the witches of george sabra general salim idriss. interest is already said he's disappointed it's noble foreign of the you should be sleeping over there weapons right now forget about the friday deadline generously images very disappointed that we don't have any patients anymore their people are old defecting to the brigades that obama put on the terrorist list. basically they're in disarray already so the fact that they were going to not they said they didn't want to come to the level of kerry arranged talks even before we get to them and all go. all the interest to do any kind of peace are they interested in carving out bits of syria in ways that they're proxy leaders saudi arabia and more interested in is now becoming a fight between those two. it's a very complicated situation that waded into and of course has been said many times the blowback will be

contributor afshin rattansi says the primary is using it to distract attention from his government's failures. we although david cameron is finished no one in this country voted george the majority of the people in this country did not vote for him to be prime minister and just as with previous conservative prime ministers he's facing immense trouble on his backbenchers the vote in the next few hours he'll win because of the labor party and liberal democrat votes not his own votes go to remember the inequality has been rising was rising under tony blair is greater is set to rise even more under a david cameron's policies he's trying desperately to avert attention from the disastrous economic policies currently undergoing there going on here in britain. now. while the search for survivors can tinnies in. continues in the suburbs of. the search for survivors rather continues in the suburbs of america's oklahoma city we've been following the story devastated by one of the deadliest tornadoes in a years a massive cycloid tore through a residential area leaving chaos in its wake. the loca

contribute to afshin rattansi it's especially outrageous of the british prime minister just dismissed call upon the u.n. commission into who is using chemical weapons and when in the syrian conflict and at the same time the very rebels that are being sent to the so-called normally full force and equipment and materiel they're defecting to al nusra according to a report in the british papers if britain being exporting things like global's to the syrian rebels and they use them in a sarin gas attack as for indicated by color for this u.n. report does that mean britain has been backing chemical weapons in the middle east the fact that every cameron can do this shows him completely out of step after all it was him trying to lift the arms embargo for the rebels and never countenanced at any point the idea of a talks process of kind of process that was aside from all the fighting and killing and slaughter and get john kerry and me putin seemed to have come to an agreement that yes of course they have to talk instead of all this killing. the u.s. defense secretary says the old order in the m

contributor afshin rattansi action how might european governments justify supplying the rebels with weapons which of course this is a governmental body and it's against international law or according to russia's foreign minister there's obviously no justification whatsoever and the european union leaders over the past few days were saying the e.u. is a peaceful organization i think many diplomats around the world have given up on that what we need now maybe is ban ki-moon of the united nations to come out of the united nations is a place for peace because this is obviously england and france to be doing the supposedly american russian plan for june geneva talks to settle this in talks rather than war but as far as i understand it obama on his way for americans and the commemorations. there are reports in the past hour of jay carney saying he welcomes i.e. the white house welcomes the fact that the european union has lifted the weapons in bargo on syria so all happy about arming the islamists in syria now in what way would this torpedo the forthcoming geneva conference hosted by the u.s. and
