removing one dictator the program and the plane and the system remains the same and so for this reason apart from other possible involvement of the outside forces this is the reason why we see the type of gun rest taking place in egypt it's occurring at the moment but i do not believe that the arab spring was solely a grass roots movement outside of outside influence that there were not elements involved in that we know that the united states and great britain and israel had spies on the ground in all of these countries where these revolutions were taking place we know that there were various groups tied to the cia that were responsible for training many of these young revolutionaries so in that regard i don't consider the arab spring has done anything. and coming out shortly here in our teeth protection from prison convicted nazi war criminals living a life as a free man in a stone you know leaving manning wondering why the country is so keen to give him

shelter. it's going to later before that spain's conservative center right party has swept to a landslide victory in parliamentary elections inheriting sky high unemployment of more than twenty percent from the ruling socialist the vote comes amid growing concern that spain is next in line to succumb to the e.u. debt crisis contagion and artie's are in english the reports nanny spaniards have lost faith that abbey politicians will be able to turn things around. this is what the spain years want from the elections but it's very unlikely they'll get it the popular party may have won sunday's polls but it's highly unlikely they are in for an easy term the reality of the economic crisis in spain means five million people out of work one and a half million households are without a wage earner and if you look at a point rate which has shot up to me early fifty percent this is there but there is the winner will have to deal with but will they really be able to make

the same reason why their big push for the war against libya and now they're making very bellicose noises together with this really turns to around the issue is that they want a regime which may or may not include sections of the army which is more amenable to u.s. foreign policy i think is distance from iran. this fugitive spy chief not of the last key figure is from leaving years old regime still on the run has been captured in a country south comes just days after his son saif al islam was also caught the national transitional council has since sat it won't hand him over to the hague tribunal instead it's about to try him at home for crimes against the libyan people that could result in a death penalty market obvious most influential son was seized in the south of the country on saturday along with his aides as they try to escape to neighboring the share following the toppling of his father in the out of an eight month civil war
