nato forces in afghanistan are not able to get over the border in the pockets of the military also called this a tap quote unquote unprovoked and indiscriminate now nato helicopters are often in this region performing missions against militancy and the taliban in this region pakistan is a very strategic ally to the united states in the quote unquote war on terror and tensions between the two countries have always existed they came to an all time high back in may when the united states performed a unilateral attack that actually alternately killed osama bin ladin just last year the united states accidentally killed two pakistani soldiers on the border and in that incident as well the caucus on afghanistan border was also shut down there have also been a lot of talk about these unmanned drone strikes that have been going on across the border by the united states in pakistan obviously the purpose of these missions

these unmanned drone strikes is to attack the militants across the border but many times they've killed several civilians and after that there were several protests across the country in pakistan many pockets dani's want to cut ties with the united states everyone sort of watching what the repercussions of this incident today will be for the region and there's been a powerful reaction across the web to the latest nato attack is keeping an eye on the public opinion through artie's twitter stream where she says some pakistanis are calling for revenge and retaliation for the debts. she also reports that the people who are killed are considered martyrs of. pakistan is calling the nato raid an attack on its territorial sovereignty saying it will not tolerate such incidents john recent political analyst from the british based stop the work whole issue and told r.t. that the us and its allies are creating an explosive situation in the already volatile region and whether or not it's a big issue for washington it should be

are risking instability greater instability in an already unstable region and this kind of behavior simply has to start with gangsterism. still ahead for you this hour what the future holds for syria as the arab league mulls over sanctions against the assad regime where else more further moves damascus can expect from western powers plus. if you are in america were talked to by the way that we have the money or not in the wake of black friday in the u.s. we asked people in new york if the financial crisis has put a black mark on their shopping plans the seer. to egypt now where protesters demanding the end of military rule have clashed with police using tear gas to protesters have been killed bringing the death toll to forty two people since clashes broke out a week ago archies poll slayer brings us the latest from cairo. the crowds here are growing there are horrible people which have been rising over the situation does

remain tense now we just had an announcement find some sixteen each of the initial quits who say that they have a fairly tough display of what they are calling a civil salvation the government they've named mohamed el baradei is a presidential candidate who is also a name that was being bandied about earlier in the week as a possible first in the army might approach to be the prime minister as the head of this new government and there are five profound names that have been named as his deputies a leading physician leaving economist a meeting politicians so you not have this is the most bizarre situation where you have a government that has been to create fear itself here a lot is another government that has been declared by the army and it is worthwhile noting that the muslim brotherhood does not support mohamed el baradei in any way all of this is painting the scenario for growing internal why haven't we that can only lead to more and waste the one thing that is happening against the backdrop of this political posturing is that the violence continues to climb just the swarming

a reign of terror going on against those who disagree with the libyan government it's not presented that way in the western media but it is a reign of terror if you speak up right now against the the new authorities in libya you're likely to go to jail or be executed or disappear in the meantime entrenched government brought to power by nato is strengthening its grip on the country nato and some arab states now openly call for regime change in syria the louder they call the more violent the opposition becomes all kinds of western countries in the capitals of some countries in the region are openly recommending opposition to not hold talks with the assad regime and looks like political provocation on an international scale civil war is brewing in syria the whole region seems to be plunging deeper into crisis. while people suffered in the continuing wave of violence in the middle east and north africa some analysts say certain powers might be interested in keeping the trouble boiling there are certain

powerful interests outside of the middle east who wants to bring chaos is a role in scenario discontent and chaos in order that it long term will be militarized directly by nato and that the oil resources of these oil rich countries by a large can be directly put under private hands it looks like the so-called transition to democracy in the wake of the arab spring is not going to while more blood is being shed we're looking at an arab winter and maybe a new where spring around the corner as tensions was and as certain gore powers are pushing for regime change in more countries of the region the wave of revolutions turning to a notion of chaos i'm going to check our report. and on to the syrian conflict now members of the arab league have met in cairo to draw possible sanctions against president bashar al assad the move comes in an attempt to end the deadly crackdown on protesters and the deadline passes for foreign observers to be
