3:05 pm
a nice presence in the square and they said this is the city is not organized i think this is not leading to a second revolution but if the situation is going to bear it out this means that some confrontation will be taking place between the whole population and me and this is very catastrophic because we need to concentrate on their actions we need to pursue five of the fronts and our message being sent and i think the army had given the message really quickly and the response of the day that we have it there and this had been declared in the original report so i think no problem now with the army but i feel that some quarters are trying to. run for elections which is the primary priority for the egyptian people know a lot of the protesters are saying out on the streets tonight. by the muslim
3:06 pm
brotherhood. the muslim brotherhood comes to power later on in egypt how would that change egypt. i don't think that anything is going to change because their program there is no nothing. and you feel their. whims had been surrounding. by the muslim brotherhood but in a way think that there's some a tendency then this is of powers in fact this feeling of power and we are going to be tested according to the we will put the truth so. we don't want to impede before possible something which is where which is not really sure i think all the muslim brotherhood and also the fundamentalists for the celibacy will disallow even as we say here made me think something like twenty percent of the whole of the bulk of the. shelf

3:08 pm
proposal and typically the proposal by the arab league to stay in hundreds of observers to syria to study the situation on the ground other than him we've heard no other word from the syrian regime about this dave nonis will expire in a time now at the same time it hasn't been any response from the arab league itself now it is important to note that they have been demonstrations both for and against the syrian regime thousands of people taking to the streets so the syrian society certainly is divided over this issue throughout the week there was a lot of of tensions mounting both within syria and internationally over this arab league pozole now the united kingdom has begun a formal talks with the syrian opposition critics here saying that the situation mirrors what we saw happening in libya at the same time france has said that it is too late for the syrian regime to reform itself it is too late for it to implement any kind of reforms that russia has said that it is never too late and it has
3:09 pm
called on both sides to lay down arms and says there is an urgent need for the situation to be neutralized with the keeping the point being made against the opposition many of whom defected from the syrian army many of them armed with russia saying that they too need to be held responsible and lay down arms so the russian point the situation is complicated it needs valance and of course the international community very much involved and keeping a close eye on what happens when this deadline expires. our middle east correspondent paula slayer in libya meantime state t.v. has released a photo of gadhafi son saif al islam who's been detained by the country's authorities the libyan ministry of justice said he will be tried in the country and could face the death sentence but the image of god see here shows the man who appears to be safe on a hospital bed with his right arm bandaged it's thought that he was seized by the military were attempting to escape to be shared with two aides after weeks on the run and the crowds reportedly stormed the plane and flew him into the libyan cities
3:10 pm

3:11 pm
to be overhauled country only. if there is a political will put it could be a trial and it will be a fair trial it wouldn't be so difficult to find are. qualified judges to do the job of the. libyan acting minister of justice. he would also hope so for this little girl so possibility that we've been going. to defend him from. the trial for being put on national sort of vision at least this is what the act instead of just said so if there is political will it can be a photo technically speaking there is nothing that should prevent that from being with the trial if there is a political will. follows them support of the expressed his wish to be tried in the hague do you think that the criminal court will insist on being brought to europe or will it allow the libyans to exact their own justice. they will insist look at

3:13 pm
agree or disagree. with it long disagree with the whole thing will have to go back to school because if he survives as you're saying there if he goes to court if he ends up in jail in libya there's an argument that said that he could become a living symbol of pro good the resistance in the west would have to say about that not just the west but what will the libyans of so say about that it's going to be very complicated that delicate leaders battle from now on the way to go he survives from now until the trial. this is very it's a very it's a very good question and it's a really difficult question to answer. is he going to face the face of the u.s. better. if that's the case of course everybody would suspect that it wasn't trial and if it wasn't true he was not he wasn't finished with this and if you put in prison. he will be

news in brief you the afghan four day national assembly calls from the country's president hamid karzai for a long term security pact with the u.s. but if you will come with conditions including tonight raids on afghan civilians homes by foreign troops it's a major cause of friction between washington and karbala the strategic agreement aimed to keep informed military forces in afghanistan after twenty fourteen un said the number of afghan civilians killed in the first half of this year fifty percent over one thousand victims. to the german autobahns killed three injured many more the crush left dozens of cars in a tangled mess the weather was foggy at the time it wasn't immediately clear what triggered the actions of. the. border with another. record rainfall in failed flood control projects being blamed on thailand's four month long floods a science and technology minister also attributed the deluge to climate change monsoon season came weeks earlier than usual and it's killed nearly six hundred

people since september. that's one of our top stories the u.s. campaign against corporate greed has faced a nationwide police crackdown on the talk show host of half a new york to find out what legacy the movement is likely to. hit the occupy wall street movement achieved its goal of creating a shift in the system or is it slowly becoming a blip that history probably won't remember this week let's talk about that i think . brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so. if it becomes part of the conversation i think. there's still a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will get maybe people think it won't make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for a while and then go back to the ball.
3:26 pm
but i think that's one of the problems no one really knows what their mission is other than because people lot of problems if they had a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if they were that organizing jobs wouldn't be swinging around wall street i'll be honest with the other we know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bad well not at all so how are they going to get out in history. i don't think that we'd be much made in history down the road thing is going to be the most significant they should feel like it fit magic and it always just everybody something they feel passion about significant but so well there's it's not every revolution starts with someone just getting pissed enough to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change and then hopefully other people add on to that so what's the next step how do they add on. i don't know i guess you get the middle class that's kind of comfortable that doesn't see that is a real problem because they're comfortable you either get them involved or uncomfortable if you think that they're going to go out when it starts now and i
3:27 pm
hope so because then i'll i'll feel better about it because the worse conditions they endure as we go along i think the more all feel supporting of it but they need to go through a little bit more and then has free will have a chance at a moment remembering them two months protesters and doing it you got to stick it out whether or not you think the acapella wall street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues when the snow arrives. this is coming up next i'll show it being the weekend but we've got the headlines before doubtfully.
