president mubarak was forced to leave but activists david keys says there is growing evidence of crimes committed by the military some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spiritus charges of quote unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not attentions of people who have you know tried to undermine the regime but people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding to describe regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it still has to overcome if you just is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and

3:14 am
clear that it tilts the pocket and there are patients who we bring you all the latest from the states about this. reporting there from greece now you are a master germany is expected to bear the brunt of greece a second by a logjam an m.p. calls peter well says the people in this country are unhappy about footing the bill and doubts whether it will have an effect anyway. you would treaties. it was regulated that there must be any bailouts because. otherwise. you wouldn't. really be. talking since. those countries are a country. and as long as each country is responsible for its budgets. it's to take for the sponsibility. and the only right answer to that

3:16 am
decision to task the cia with tracing down given marks a major escalation of america's covert war in yemen which is not really covert it's one of the on an undeclared wars that the u.s. is waging against terror but up to this day in yemen it's been the u.s. military that was running the show that was carrying out the drone strikes so if you watch gratian with the yemeni counterterrorism units but now with the power vacuum and all the political turmoil in yemen the cooperation is falling apart and according to u.s. officials because the cia operates under different legal authorities than the military the cia will have greater latitude to carry out strikes no matter what the political climate fear the greater the last you know the worse they don't have to ask anybody's permission to bomb the country the yemeni leader who is now out of the country after months of violent popular revolt against him and his government for many years had been supported by the u.s. in exchange for letting americans go after all quieting gehman as we could make
