5:18 am
all of this was happening with his approval so of course the truth has got to come out and i really congratulate. donald fance and nathan or tell for fighting through to try to get the story out and as they said it is really important for other whistleblowers to come forward. and controversy surrounds the current u.s. defense secretary is leon panetta is trying to we may get to the card of major cuts in government spending he claims any more reductions after those away he imposed with national security. even if you don't give reasons as the main threats the u.s. is facing can't be solved by minute she means any way. but what it was really regrettable was. persistent state of denial that this is only the first stage of the pentagon budget cuts to be followed inevitably

second round. his comments i'm not even beginning to consider what would happen and claiming that such cuts would be disastrous and completely unacceptable those kind of statements could be construed and perceived the white house as a slightly veiled in subordination if not the outright sabotage of the bipartisan effort to make the pentagon lean and mean make no mistake the only reason he was appointed to realize that in the new twenty first century not the imagery but their real challenges to the united states have nothing to do with the threats that could be or should be tackled by conventional military thank you that's what spawns all top story now the aftermath of the british riots while the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with the rest

people who were around the while that are wondering could this happen in that country here's some of the opinions on hoffa the president called on the streets of the big guy. it's your neighborhood next this week let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric and i think that unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappointed with leadership and various parts of the world and they're rising up and trying to do something about it whether you're in the middle east in europe you know fortunately we haven't had that type of unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. light you find life so they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough that what was going on do you think that would push
5:21 am
them to the limit. think yes yes sometimes like in the elections times people are going crazy but not to their father like the looting is so horrible and the tries but there were demonstrations in creation but they were peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break even though and steal from the store you know so why are these british people doing that right now think is always you know some people's tactical political reason then that they've surrounded break and still you know that's that's what happens and you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked a bit harder try to bit harder and you know sort of if they had hard luck to set up a hard look whereas now everybody expects everything behind them on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the eight hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments in the newspapers published in that era or with the stream of history where in the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. not

progressive laws they've been provided with free sex change operations by the government but as our reports many find it still comes at a price. ever since she was a little boy eva suki knew that there was something different i started liking men i had sexual feelings for men i wanted to befriend them and spend time with them i was not attracted to girls adding to her confusion visu also realize that she felt more like a woman than a man in south asia people like her are commonly called hitcher us a derogatory word for transsexuals my brothers beat me up and kicked me out of the house because they did not like the way i behaved dressed and was attracted towards men so instead of committing suicide i decided i would give me happiness to live with other heroes like me. sukey moved in with other transsexuals and decided to complete her transgender journey screened by doctors to ensure she was psychologically ready for the consequences of sex reassignment surgery or s.r.s.

5:26 am
prostitution is illegal in india and some who work with the community believe that the government inadvertently helping fuel an illegal business since transsexuals can earn more after gender reassignment that has a lot of good result and do you know six well i mean you very few want to do numbers was for trading on the windows door we come to innovation or something like that only able to rely on themselves and each other these women know and accept their fate. we have been cast out of our homes in society i like this life a lot i live for my happiness we flatter homes because we were forced to get married my happiness is my priority and i have no regrets what. more rights yet fewer opportunities but these transsexuals wouldn't have it any other way preassure either r t chennai india. with a recap of the headlines in just
