dismissing reports that his father has fled the country one arrest is also raging throughout the region with protests in yemen bahrain and the lock oh maybe expert adrian sound here today says that global dominance groups are behind the turmoil. they might be getting rid of of thirty forty or fifty euro regime but many of these countries certainly in egypt certainly in libya certainly in tunisia and back karim that might be getting themselves into just as bad or even worse trouble if they don't really understand the social proof this is going on and the powerful interests that may be driving them from outside of the middle east because i think this ties into a more global pattern where we have to understand the major geopolitical long term planning emanating from such organizations as the council of foreign relations the trilateral commission and the bluebird group who have for decades been fighting the arab world and have been fighting the sovereign nation state as an institution on

a global basis so in a way if they can get rid of these strong mad men whether it be hosni mubarak in egypt or colonel gadhafi in libya and try to transition has always seen before to a more liberal chaotic and more controllable western style democracy that we just sort of been privileged to serve with we have to be very careful about the various readings that we make of this is very important that both the pro protesters on one side and the government on the you know. in egypt whether it be in libya whether it be in a back rain or in tunisia should understand how powerful social forces they are up against the psychological warfare tactics are being used and they should not allow themselves either side to be used by interested objectives which are completely outside the interest of libya because all the egyptians or we are tunisians or the iraqis or just about any country that is having such turmoil in the middle east the

president. two iranian warships are to pass through suez canal on tuesday it will be the first time iranian naval vessels have salvos water since the country's one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the vessels have been due to enter the canal on monday but their passage has been over eight ships are heading to syria for a training mission israel and being you have expressed strong concern over the move saying it as it's already high tensions in the region are following developments in tel aviv. there's many prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with most gravity the posturing of these two iranian warships through the suez canal to the mediterranean sea he says that it's really an attempt by tehran to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard from the israeli foreign minister of a dollar lieberman and he says that this is nothing short of provocation israel and iran have not had diplomatic relations for the past thirty years and israel is

concerned that iran is sending weapons to its neighbors that will ultimately be used against the jewish state is really soon relations are strained is convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately landed in the hands of his in lebanon now the united states is adding fuel to the whole situation the u.s. state department recently set up a twitter account and it is using their twitter account to post tweets in flossy that supports anti government demonstrators out on the streets of tehran and we haven't seen the u.s. state department do anything like that supporting or even expressing any kind of opinion on the same kind of demonstrations that are happening in yemen since nine hundred seventy nine since the rainy revolution there have been no iranian warships that have actually passed through the suez canal this is the first major diplomatic headache for the egyptian interim government for the. council as you well know the

president mubarak had a close relationship with the united states he was an ally of the u.s. and at the same time relations between him and the rand was strained for the past thirty years it is not clear exactly why they gave permission we haven't had any insight on that but what we have been told reported is that it took in officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there was nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed this gate on the supply ship to go through. coming up later today and our debate cross-talk peter the valen his gas discuss what countries in the middle east when so much money on the military and how the u.s. justifies its business in the region. saudi and the g.c.c. states to me partner somewhat comparable to what singapore us which will lead their small populations they want people to know they have weapons system basically want to be left alone saudi arabia does have some incursions into yemen and he's using

it surely kit purchased from the u.s. and other states so i don't want to about that but not a missile or one could of course discuss the problem but to say that they're not using it at all i think it would be a question in the. last few years jewish communities demanding compensation from the government for property stolen by the nazis during the second world war but the claims have divided public opinion with many saying the country itself cannot be held responsible parties peter all of our reports from the baltic states. thousands of law being jews were robbed at the competition money and in many cases their lives by not retreat one of the major issues is how much on the side of nazi germany of today so really. unfortunately many believe the lothian waffen s.s.

who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators but they in fact were bandits and robbers they have seen documents listing real estate that belong to jews killed in ghettos i think that property should be returned to the amount of reparations claimed by latvian jews around sixty five million dollars the country's government says that they will continue to hold talks with religious leaders in order to come up with a solution however those in power draw their support from nationalist groups who are far less diplomatic when it comes to the issue. lottery and administration is not responsible for denmark you're going to do this in the holocaust began before our country was under our education by definitional lightly and i thought were dish cannot be responsible for actions of occupants local jewish leaders say that they only want what was stolen to be returned however they realize that this may be difficult with current attitudes in latvia. they wish as we need to drop as if to solve our social problems and we develop an education culture because that's who is

meant to know synagogues and cemeteries and of course it's hard to find ours when you need to take back certain property but i hope people will understand and justice will be done a short distance from the capital is the forest where thousands of jews were executed it serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives but in central riga there are equally chilling monuments to the holocaust like this synagogue which was burned to the ground with worshippers still inside over sixty five years after the end of the second world war the burnt out shell of this synagogue serves as a reminder to the tensions that still bubble between the local jewish community and those latvians that consider the s.s. troops to have been heroes while the government continues to draw most of its support from nationalist organizations a resolution for this conflict seems a long way off peter all of our riga latvia. well still to come here on the

program miscalculating and misfiring nato is being blamed for dozens of civilian deaths in afghanistan over the past three days we've got analysis on who might profit from the alliance's mistakes. they say that dog is a man's best friend but of course if you apply a guide dog is saved it's more than just me and said we have the story of a man who one day had to take care of his pet just as she had been taking care of him. the dire economic situation in the u.s. has created the humans unemployment bomb with millions of graduates failing to find jobs to start paying off their college debts and those lucky enough to find work are massively overqualified for their positions. reports. the international children's fund has worked for almost a century help the less fortunate for another nation now we want to tell you about a problem a little closer to home. for only fifteen thousand and he said today you'll get

a bachelor's degree provides raising an entire generation of janitors with ph d.'s as we have an ever higher percentage of kids in college and ever higher percentage of kids graduating at the same time as ever more companies are hiring fewer people so what better time to question whether education really is the best investment fed with america's traditional promise of a dream life after college what students aren't told however is that the cash and time they are investing is going to come back to bite them. at twenty two charles with a bachelor's in film and a dream of directing is already getting ready to settle for less you do wonder is college. because of this because of the economy or he's looking for any of the lable jobs to pay off his student loan debt but has not been able to find any paid work. sixty five seventy thousand college. tuition bills.

at least thirty people have been killed and forty more injured in a suicide attack in northern afghanistan the bomber targeted people queuing outside a government building and it's the latest in a string of incidents that have claimed civilian lives in the war torn country local officials have placed some blame on joint nato afghan forces they claim sixty four civilians were killed and coalition led operations in the north eastern province native says the dead were armed insurgents but says it will investigate afghan m.p. . says such incidents are only increasingly the taliban's increasing the taliban's credibility among the locals. it's an ugly or nor an no one wins but the insurgency thrives on mistakes of the government and of the international community in civilian casualties a perfect mistake for them to thrive on and to to seize upon in

a news public opinion in their own favor and also government inefficiency and government problems add to that so this is something that the international community and i get in the government has to cope up but then learn and also try to isolate the population from insurgency. and later this hour our team here is from peace and conflict expert. who says u.s. operations in afghanistan are doomed to fail and the consequences of u.s. actions abroad will reverberate affecting washington's wider global role. well that's going to happen two of these side the porsche it might be with his side of the axis. beijing. russia. increasing irrelevance so.

saving or even marginally increasing the us state department and budget is based on a false premise that id which officially stands for american international development allegedly does develop their client states and consequently promotes pax americana all over the world oh i'm a shoestring budget in reality it's why the opposite because for the recipient countries i do stands for american international dependence not developing consider egypt for example the us id have invested one point five billion dollars in promoting self-sufficiency and independence of egypt agricultural sector but. egypt dependence on imported off you as grave as big as it's ever been and that's

why i strongly and sincerely support senator rand paul initiative to completely abolish your idea of outreach as a counterproductive and totally unaffected reach in the way spreads anti-american feelings and resentment toward state department keep parker see all over the world . now for a look at some other stories dominating world news this monday high court by house confirmed the death penalty for the only surviving gunman of the two thousand and eight attacks on the city mohammad saabs appeal was rejected as the judge convicted him of waging war against india murder murder and conspiracy route one hundred seventy people were killed when ten pakistani gunmen attacked two luxury hotels in mumbai because still has the right to go to the supreme court. like. a stone here is in mourning after eight children and two adults were killed in an
