-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com welcome to ooh "newsroom international" i'm suzanne malveaux. going around the world in 60 minutes. here is what is going on. desert racing in saudi arabia and the consequences. it is not a honor killing. >> a husband accused of killing his wife for just talking to another man. one activist in pakistan is fighting for justice. but first the civil war is now boiling over, the civil war in syria not confined to syria, not at all. it is spilling over into almost

every country that touches syria, and we are talking about iraq and turkey and llebanon an people are dying in street battles and people are caught in the crossfire and arwa damon is in lebanon with that story. >> this is one of the ways that the syria uprising is manifesting in lebanon. along a sunni allawite sectarian street in lebanon with the army trying to pound both sides into submission. some residents choose to move to safer ground and others hang around nervously in doorways and now living on the lower floors. we spent the night under gun fire and we had to eat in the stairway this woman says referring to the holidayt the end of the holy month of ramadan, and many admit they often don't know how the fighting starts. or how it ends. but what they do know is that event events in syria are aggravating

longstanding tensions between the communities. there have been numerous holes smashed into the walls between buildings here just like this one. but this is not a recent development. these neighborhoods have been preparing themselves for battle for years now. some shops are open. not for business, but for safe passage. we're in sunni neighborhood that is separated from the allawite area in the hills, and dividing the two is the aeppropriately named syrian street. this is as close to the front lines as we can get. people dart across the one road, because around the corn ser syria street where the clashes are being ncentrated. it is not the first time these two sides have clashed. each time sparked by different event events, and in this case, both agree it was children playing with b.b. guns a scenario that somehow escalated into this. both blame each other. and this time, residents fear it is going to last.

this woman says that a shell just slammed into their bedroom right on the front line. they are going to hunker down with relatives nearby and no one was hurt, but it is clearly time to go. these makeshift very crude routes are also how families are evacuating. the gunmen say that they are hardly firing back and the other side claims they are showing restraint as well. with gun fire echoing through the narrow streets, it is hard to determine where it is coming from. they reling the us to be careful of the opening right there as we move up towards one of the fighting positions. the sunni gunman says that the allawites are well funded by the syrian regime, and on this side of the gun fire, it is clear where the loyalties lie. a syrian flag on the store

front, and a poster on the wall showing people killed since the uprising, and a midst of fear that yet another generation will grow up to the signs of war and sounds as well. >> we see the picture of the child carrying a machine gun. and certainly, we go the michael holmes, this did not start with the civil war that broke out in syria, and explain why you have different groups in lebanon and they have taken a position when it comes to syria, and now this is that the tension that was bubbling under the surface is exploding. >> i used to use it as comparison when you talked about iraq and say that lebanon's similar in what is it? it is lines drawn on a map after world war i by westerners and threw everyone together and said, you are a country and get along. when you talk about lebanon, you are talking about 18 distinct religious groups and various christian groups from orthodox

to catholic and a tiny jewish population there, and you have the sunni, and the shia and the allawite and the others all bunched together with the age-old going back centuries enmities and the tribal squabbles and all of it going on to bubble forever. and then to, don't forget, you have the devastating civil war from 1979 to 1909, and the lebanese don't want to go back to that, but those sort of tensions are always there below the surfaces. i was there earlier in the year and i remember sitting in a coffee shop and there is a church and a mosque and i thought, that is wonderful. and then the church bells rang and the prayer broke out, and you thought it is a great view for the world, but it is not. it is a veneer. >> and the united states considers hezbollah a terrorist organization and we have seen recently a big campaign on their part where they have a theme parks and the hezbollah parks if

you will, and now you have european countries who are a lot more accepting of them as a mainstream omai mainstream type of political r party, wa so what is happening inside of lebanon? >> well, they were formed as a reaction of the 1982 invasion of lebanon, and it is a borne out of that. it is called party of god, which is what hezbollah means. there are different areas of hezbollah, the military wing which is the famed one that does the destruction and the terrorist organization. and first of all, there is a political wing and there is a social wing. now the social wing does things central government doesn't do in lebanon, because it is so weak. provides hospitals, health clinics, agriculture clinics, social services, and that gives it a grass roots support. people are getting things. >> they claim they are arresting pretty low though. and of the people fighting right now, they are not taking a lead in this, but you have police who are getting involved here and you have the clans that are set up in the neighborhoods. who is actually in charge?

who is running the show in lebanon? >> well, you have to say that hezbollah is always the party who seems to have the infrastructure to have the most power when it comes to lebanon. the central government unfortunately is weak, partly because of the fractured society in the political fracturing that goes along with that, but you know, you have a situation where people are running around kidnapping people, and the government is sort of saying, please don't do that. that shows you the weakness of the government. meanwhile, hezbollah was k kidnapping people and interrogating people on the road to the airport the other day, and the army was 50 yards away and did not do anything. the power is there. and hezbollah is laying low and why? because the two major losers if assad falls, iran and hezbollah, because they have been p patronized by the regime, but they are a powerful organization on many levels, social, political and the military wing, but why they are there is that the legitimacy in the street comes from being the leader of the resistance against israel and its allies. if you have another civil war in

lebanon, sunni/shia, that sort of legitimacy goes away and becomes an internal thing. they don't want that to happen. >> all right. it is a fascinating story to watch and to look at that. >> and when you look at all of the groups fighting each other, it is a confusing place. >> and the fact that it is spilling out to lebanon and other countries we have to keep a close eye on syria and lebanon. and the tug of war between china and japan over a group of islands in the east china sea. somchai the some chinese activists landed on the island and they were arrested, and they were greeted by cheers. >> reporter: the message is clear, this is a no-go area. the japanese embassy in beijing is sealed off. police and army are on guard. so we're on this side, and the embassy is over there, and there has been a flurry of activity behind us, and lot of talking on phones and walkie-talkies and a

soldier here coming to speak to us. now. nihou? so we cannot film the embassy at all from here. large protests have raised the alert. and thousands of people in china taking to the chinese consulates and taking businesses at times turning ugly, and it is all over this, uninhabited craggy outcrop s in the china sea. japan says it owns the islands, but china says no. the diaoyu islands are ours. they are part of china. it is as if they are our home. if a thief breaks into the home, then we have to drive the thief out. and tsang took it upon himself to take the island and he joined others in the symbolic protest. they were detained by the japanese police.

as japan calls this island s senkaku is many things to many people. oil is rich here, and japanese have, too, swum ashore and raised their flag. i believe our landing was success if we can show that senkaku islands are japanese, and we do that with this protest. it has touched off a diplomatic round, and chinese analysts say it is rooted in history and age-old hatreds. there shouldn't be any discussion of the diaou island, because it is always china's. they have claimed it for hundreds of years and japan says that the sovereignty would have lost it. they say that world war ii clouded the issue again, and

before the united states returned senkaku to japan in 1972. the u.s. handed over the island to japan for its own purpose during the cold war this analyst says, so personally the u.s. should take the blame for the dispute of this island. the u.s. says that it is not taking a position in this current dispute, but it is treaty bound to defend the ally, japan. it has now begun war games with japan, a yearly routine and the aim this year is to seize back an island. chinese activists returning to hong kong harbor are just as determined to seize an island for themselves. stan grant, cnn, beijing. a royal controversy brewing over prince harry caught in the buff in vegas. you do what you do... because it matters. at hp we don't just believe in the power of technology.

it happened in vegas, britain's prince harry here

photographed in the nude after a reported game of strip pool in las vegas and the website tmz posted the pictures online last night, and the palace does confirm that the photos are of the prince. on the phone is piers morgan and richard quest as well. i understand, piers, that the british tabloids are giving him a break and not covering the story at all and tell us why. >> well, obvious ly, in the brakdrop of this this inquiry in britain which is the investigation of press ethics and standards and already a dramatic effect, because certainly if i was still in the newspaper british business as i used to be i would not have hesitated to run the pictures, because they are irresistibly entertaining. he is a single man of 27 and in the army and on leave and behaving exactly how i would expect a 27-year-old army boys

to behave in las vegas, and the only shame for him is that the time honored convention of what happens in va stegas stays in v has been ignored. >> piers, you are tweeting about this, and give us one. >> i'm shocked and disgusted by the pictures because it reminded me that i had not been invited. it is like one of the parties that you really wanted to be at. he has been having swimming competitions with ryan lochte in the pool. and he has now been having what are apparently a new sport, and maybe richard quest may know more about this than i do, but the strip billiards is a new sport certainly for me, and i'd love a piece of the action. >> well, let's bring in richard and i want to give you a little piece of the action here, this story, and one of the things that people look at and we have been reading the tweets about this, and they are giving him a break and saying he is young, and others are saying, look, we saw him representing the country at the olympics and the royals at the olympics and that he was doing so well, and this is a disappointment that it is not a

good judgment call if you will. what are you making of how people are responding to this? >> it is a case of can you have your cake and eat it? can you stand at the closing ceremony of the olympics with the ioc president representing the queen and the country and then ten days later be in the situation of these pictures on being shown around the world? that is really what this comes down to. and there's new about this. princess margaret who of course had a lover that she saw and went off to in the caribbean, and prince andrew with his own scandals in which he has been involved. it has happened time again for the royal family and the core question is whether anybody could live up to the sort of standards that is expected 24/7. and as for piers wanting to know the rules of that particular game, i will send him a book on

the subject [ laughter ] >> looks like a game here. that is coming up here, but i am not going to participate in any of this, and let me ask you this, richard, do you think that how's the palace reacting to all of this? i mean, clearly the folks are -- how are the royals dealing with this? and any repercussions and will he participate in the pair limb pi -- paralympic games happening in a kocouple off weeks here. >> and it could be a simple case for the french, fine, what he did what a 27-year-old does in vegas or it could be the sensorious brigade down the woodwork and looking down the teacups wondering what in the world is going on? from the palace's point of view, i can hear the collective deep of breath as they thishgs nk, o much good, diamond jubilee and

the olympics and wash, all sidetracked to some extent by this. this is not up there with the great scandals of our time. let's be clear about that. >> and piers -- >> and it is not down there with the smallest scandal. the guy is a young, single party boy who also happens to be a fine british army officer. he is extremely brave. he's done war duty, and if he wants to go to las vegas and do, by the way, what 95% of everybody who goes to las vegas does, let him do it. i'd like to know who took the p pictures and leaked them, because that is interesting. >> let's talk about that, piers, because if these pictures were in fact released to tmz by the security or the people close to the prince, does that raise some security concerns for him? >> well, there is not a genuine security scandal, because these are party girls and he has up in the suite, but somebody in the suite, it seems to me looking at the pictures has taken these on

a mobile phone and that is one of the problems in this mobile world, because prince harry and everybody else has to be careful, because they are one cell phone click away from this happening to you. and is it going to cause repercussions, and most people in america are having a good laugh about it and most people in britain think it is hilarious and the palace will pretend to be outrage and i suspect he will be performed to do his new expert sport the christmas party billiards strip game. >> well, i have to have a question for, piers. this. would you have bought the pictures if they'd been offered? >> i think it is a interesting question, and i have not been in a newspaper editor for nine years and trul the rules have changed, but my gut feeling is that i would given the way that these kinds of stories were

covered back in the early part of this century. however, no doubt that the rules of engagement for the british tabloids have dramatically changed since the hacking scandal and since the inquiry in britain, a nd you can see the effects of that on the press today. now, whether it is a good or bad thing, the british press are the only paper in the world currently not running the pictures. even cnn is running the pictures. so, you have now got a situation where the british tabloids supposedly the bad boys of the world's media and girls are not running the pictures everybody else is running. so, i don't think that is necessarily a great victory for the free press. having said that, i would like the know who took the pictures, because that is clearly a personal breach of trust to prince harry. having said that, he is obviously made some new friends in some important las vegas and they are probably not the most trustworthy of people, and he brought it on himself, and i suspect that her majesty, the queen will have a quiet word in

his ear before he goes back to the army duties where i imagine that his commanding officer will have a louder word in his ear. >> i imagine that both are true. piers and richard, thank you so much, and we have to leave it there. thank you. >> pleasure. >> sure. >> and she was known as a human rights activist and voice for victims, but syria's first lady is silent as a massacre is unfolding in her country. plus, 10 grams of protein. so it's energy straight from nature to you. nature valley protein bars. in that time there've been some good days. and some difficult ones. but, through it all, we've persevered,

citizens. this month, cnn recorded syrian warplanes repeatedly bombing aleppo, syria's largest city. cnn witnessed a hospital targeted twice by warplanes on the same day. and last week, the organization human rights watch documented the aftermath of more syrian government air strikes against the rebel-held town of azaz and 40 people were killed. >> f >> [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: in the syrian countryside, the government artillery routinely pounds towns and villages like this one that we visited last month. we feel defeated by the shelling, this resident told us. these are young children. what have they done to e d sdes thi this?

deadly gun battle broke out in june. rafael romo has the story. >> reporter: it was a day of shame for the mexican federal police. one of their own, arrested for allegedly shooting and killing three fellow officers. a top official with the mexican federal police says that the suspect had been working with drug traffickers who were using mexico city's international airport to deliver drugs smuggled from peru, and the federal police chief says that he shot and killed three federal police officers in the mid-june morning rush hour gun battle at the airport as the officers were trying to arrest him and two other accomplices. >> we were really confused. we didn't know whether the attackers were people dressed as police officers or a fight among real police officers. we don't really know. >> reporter: now two months after the shooting, all 348 officers who were in charge of security at the airport have

been reassigned and replaced. >> translator: the officers were notified in several phases they would be reassigned to other locations so as not to disrupt the duties at the terminals and the officers are working at new locations throughout the country. >> reporter: three years ago, president philippe calderon fired 230 federal police officers which is 10% of the force in a government initiative to weed out the corruption and links to organized crime. >> translator: the fragile ti and weakness and corruption of federal police agencies and prosecutors in a good portion of the country made mexico incapable of defending itself and it also allowed the corruption and the power of the criminals to grow exponentially. >> rafael romo join s s us, and don't know where to begin with all of the questions i have about the story. first of all, you moved these guys, all of the officers out of the airport, and you have reassigned them to other places, so isn't that moving the problem
