resolution on syria while the u.s. and its allies want the text changed to moscow is confident it's drawn up a balanced approach to solving the crisis craft condemns all sides in the ongoing conflict calling for the violence to stop while ruling out foreign intervention in sanctions the u.s. wants the blame for the bloodshed put on the lascars also wanted knowledge that the opposition is armed despite a legion of army defectors claiming to be fighting to bring down the regime more than five thousand civilians are thought been killed in syria since march asia times columnist thinks the west is looking to soften up the country before making its move. what's interesting is what the u.s. and nato countries go sit there and accept an acceptable is that the syrian government cannot fight an armed insurgency in their own territory the free syrian army they are getting weapons smuggled from the middle east to the borders in

turkey ending jordan as well this has been already proved then about the u.n. figures a lot of people are seriously question at this number saying that five thousand people were killed over these past few months it makes like almost zero in the hundred that the effect so there is the fog of three war is already dead so the russian move is an intelligent move because it's a preemptive i would say resolution it condemns both sides in asks for a u.n. peacekeeping mission in fact to solve the problem what nato wants is simmering civil war let's put it this way as a friend you for something much tougher had probably after the american elections in one year. syrian opposition self titled political leaders holding their first congress in tunisia the arab spring revolutions began a year ago is being seen as an attempt to rally support among arab countries and you see is really elected president was at the conference opening the country

doesn't recognize the syrian national council is sympathetic it's the first anniversary of the a street protests which saw the regime toppled and elections held but for some there's little to show for the effort was political report. a year ago mohamed bouazizi set himself to protest against the authorities in tunisia unleashing public ferry over corruption and poverty which led to the syrian president ben ali a wave of revolt spread to other countries and the arab spring was born. today a monument stands to his sacrifice in his hometown a city there's a widespread belief however that the changes in tunisia and there. are vast very few things to upgrade the school to lead families with disabled children and some jobs but no one wants to listen to the people who haven't gotten anything those who came from broughton reaped all the benefits they're all in the new government but

with the simple folk are left with nothing. but the tunisian revolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater percentage but the voice of news according to some has been silenced. the new government is comprised of the elderly that shows what kind of new tunisia we're talking about the main problem is the political parties which haven't given a chance to the young people who gave their lives in blood for the revolution but. the western media has hailed the decision evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country more than the african region a year has passed and people who live here as they bury few of the soldiers. or actually taking place they're going to everything is simple as it used to be villages have come and gone and the tone hasn't changed unemployment is still the same if not worse the only things that changed you can now express our opinion but

the revolutions main goals haven't been accomplished. the fervor which sparked a revolution may be only a slow burn for now on but if the grievances which inspired it for mean so with the people's inspiration to revolt against it even goes courting city was it tunisia. were coming out military vengeance against a soldier's virtue's wiki leaks suspect bradley manning gets to a military hearing a supporter saying the deadly data he allegedly revealed should see him decorated instead of disciplined. deadly unrest in kazakhstan as left at least ten people dead in the western oil town clashes broke out when independence day celebrations turned violent with police reportedly farming live rounds at the crowd there are conflicting reports about how events something funny thing the interior ministry claims the situation has calmed down but activists say crowds are gathering again on political campaign in the country told out it's difficult to establish exactly

what's being done to help young people turn their backs on militant brainwashing. a new york court has ruled that iran provided material support to the plotters and hijackers nine eleven terror attacks the charges were brought by some of the victims' families but the lawsuit was settled by default because the accused which included lead ins were not in court iran has been ordered to pay damages but they're going to be collected is on their tehran has always denied any connection to al qaida iranian american activist a mother thinks the case is part of a smear campaign in the buildup to war. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling that iran had a direct role in nine eleven i know that we have seen. in washington there's been a campaign in new york to link iran very publicly to nine eleven on the anniversary of those attacks earlier this year there was

a billboard campaign in times square with. its face and something along the lines of you know the silent partner of al qaeda. there's clearly a campaign right now to try to ratchet up the pressure for yet another u.s. attack on a middle eastern country and i just think this is so dangerous if you go back to when those attacks happened immediately afterward iran condemned the attacks there were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of tough broad in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. on cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taliban who. the enemy of iran as was osama bin ladin what we're seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process and i'm worried that this is exactly what we saw with iraq this is this is a campaign to go to war. with more world news for you now this hour and regime

and made his first public appearance since being detained removing the profit the army private places twenty two charges of distributing government secrets which eventually passed to wiki leaks and aiding the enemy and face life in prison if convicted antiwar activist brian becker says manning will be considered a hero for sacrifices in revealing the truth. i think that bradley manning if it's true that he was the one who released the documents to wiki leaks will be considered in u.s. history as a hero because he took a stand and is obviously willing to pay a very difficult price possibly life in prison possibly the death sentence for exposing a criminal war the iraq war is a crime against humanity it's a war crime in fact bradley manning had an obligation to reveal that this country was carrying out criminal activities of course we all knew that and one sense but by releasing these hundreds of thousands of classified documents if in fact it was

he who did it he did a great deal to expose to shine a bright light on those who are committing crimes against the iraqi people and in fact against the american people bradley manning has been held wrongly he's been held in solitary confinement he's been pre-judged by the military and by the media he has been stripped naked in forest in solitary confinement that's a kind of torture and he's being treated as the worst possible lowest criminal in fact somebody who's not even part of the judicial system since he's been pre-judged in pre-partition. when next we head to one of russia's most unstable regions and the battle to stop the young forming prey to terrorists. not to stand up his and russia's headlines almost every day with reports of exchanges the foreign explosions and eighty percent of the terror operations in

russia carried out in the tribal republic but in a culture of reports efforts are also being made to wipe out radicalism at its roots. the caucasian republic of dagestan in russia is one of the most volatile areas in the country groups of militants operating in this part of the caucasus are reported to have strong links with al qaida look to draw people in when they're young and to tell rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials sure isn't often born into the lives of many innocent families across the region because of that a number of organisations have sprung up fighting for victims' rights and helping is also fucked its peace their lives back together i had it turns to spend the day would speak. after losing her son three years ago has dedicated her life battling for her people's future. it's a called mr winter morning in the speed line

a sign of as always is first in the office the telephone starts to ring right as she enters the room it is the usual start of the day for the mothers of dagestan a human rights organization created four years ago and now known across the region today's headline is heading to the outskirts of the capital a single mother of four lives that her husband was killed by robbers and she was left with nothing but her children so when the brings food clothes and talks to her talking as soon as the most important part offering reassurance to victims that they have not been forgotten your publish our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in if there is a need to come to help most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask who help three years ago i was in the same position when one day her son failed to return home she didn't know what to do and lost valuable time that could have been used to rescue him. if i knew then what i know today my rights the right people i

could have saved him i could have found out where he was a good have done something. sigler son was accused of helping terrorists in dagestan she fears he was killed but where she still doesn't know these accusations are common in this region young and immature people often become the victims of terrorist brainwashing high unemployment also boasts this quite often people that fall under the influence of those with no financial or social prospects and see going into the forest use them as one for joining terrorist as the only way out for them that's what happened with mariam and it cost her her life she had a difficult childhood was raised without a father and her mother couldn't provide for the family her mother honeymoon remembers how when her daughter started working at the market she met very religious people that order and through i thought there was nothing bad in that but

then my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real new so when we're going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never listened sean listened to her new friends. her new friends turned out to be extremists and the last year of her life she disappeared for several months the next time her mother saw her face was on t.v. in a report on the latest special forces raid against suspected terrorists these dug least skirmishes are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region the terrorist led by dog who is russia's most wanted militant and on the list of america's most wanted terrorists want to establish a pan caucasian islamist state. in the last decade parts of pakistan has become really just theoretical ice this region is now the heart of precious islamic terrorist problem and almost every day the authorities are engaged and she was with terrorists and very often that happens even in the capital city of the region.

locals say it's hardly surprising muslims are turning. to radical islam as they see it as an alternative to the hard life in the region the older members of the community believe a large proportion of those who went to the fore is a simply bandits from an dissatisfied younger generation. if anyone told me thirty years ago their life in dagestan would be like what we see now i would never believe it. locals want the rule of law enforced and respected again every turn to a time before terror played such a dominant part in the lives of so many marginal question articles up in the republic of dagestan. there's been an insurgent attack against a police station in the afghan capital no one's been hurt it's the latest in a string of assaults which the taliban has been mounting across the country in recent months says it's confident it's making progress in the war but artie's

military contributor thinks they need a reality check. the pentagon chief addressing the u.s. forces the forward operating base sharon impacted her province afghanistan made a very unusual statement he opened up claiming there is winning in afghanistan and here wrapped up he's sure to address by admitting that we have not won in this conflict panetta has managed to make a very big do service to the u.s. commander in chief effectively distracting and postponing their realistic risk assessment of the situation on the ground in afghanistan and across its border until the white house we'll take your reality check despite a no do to their false assessment coming from their former cia and current pentagon chief their white house african team will be doomed to do more of the same

expecting some dramatic unrealistic results to the detriment of the u.s. image being paid by the u.s. military and the u.s. taxpayers money. the new zealand aircraft has delivered aid to a russian fishing vessel that's been stuck in ice in antarctica for two days the flight delivered fuel and a pump to help the crew thirty two get rid of the water which is making it a ship called sponsor home about one hundred meters but no they want to know why and crewmembers have been ditching cog and try and decrease the ship's weight that's going to say they manage that vessel could be repaired and could send out a trouble. the internet was built on a backbone of freedom for all who use it but in no end curbing online piracy being debated by the u.s. congress is being seen as a smokescreen to stifle free speech internet activists aaron swartz says it has

little to do with copyright protection. the government doesn't just take down the infringing material it takes on the site entirely and it does it without even a trial to find out whether it's illegal or not and as you know copyright laws are extremely complicated there are lots of things that look like copyright infringement that turn out to be licensed in one way or another part of this is a larger crackdown on freedom of speech there's pretty much no other law that would give the government the power to censor the internet that wouldn't be laughed out of congress you know if you said the government needed to censor the internet to protect national security it would be widely seen in america is totally unacceptable and beyond the pale but by using copyright as a wedge issue suddenly we're able to put this power in the hands of the government and then once they have it it can be expanded and expanded to deal with a whole range of other things one of the interesting provisions in this law is it doesn't just shut down websites it also increases the penalties for people caught in gauging and copyright infringement so for example if you make a video on you tube of yourself singing and copyrighted song this bill would

increase the penalty to that to ten years in jail so there's all sorts of people who do these things that would just be considered part of natural life as a teenager that now are facing huge felony charges as a result of this law. but freedom of speech often means having to be more savvy when it comes to filtering the facts in mainstream knees and we offer this now his from people in new york about whether their time bulletins. are you sick of the media being biased this week let's talk about that do you feel like the media's biased sure they are the discredit pick the right one that you want to listen to is the right one around one. you're going to listen to them all and make up your own mark when do you k.'s very political party is it government is in power i can't. see things on the media i absolutely do think it's important for the noose a try to be on bias but unfortunately everybody brings their own slant to their

reporting i don't think it's avoidable even though it's desirable of is possible for anybody beyond bias so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because their professional journalists job but they're still human. well they have a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue as a lot of a lot of it isn't that a shame the news would be untrue. it is but the thing is it sells papers and it sells news and people watch it people have to channel that bother you. just the way the world. believe what you want to believe really do you think it would help people be more informed if news organizations admitted their bias. i think sober people wouldn't believe them and then they'd turn to whoever was bias anyway there's a lot of people that think the some channels are fair and balanced other channels aren't leaning in any direction well i mean i think we all know that's not true

right we all this into the news every single day and we all hear the ridiculousness on both sides yeah but i think fox particularly will report both sides in both views and they have people of opposing views on very frequently so you don't think they're biased that i think they themselves in my b.s. slant when i think it's a moniker that people have put on them. i don't there's no good here but if they are they are but that's ok they should just admit it they do i think i think some of knowing their fair and balanced base they orders and each person can be these experts they come in every individual has his own personal bias you can't get away from it and maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding they admit their bias and maybe bad they'll at least be accountable for the opinions they report. coming out russia's olympic gold medal boxer prepares for his upcoming bouts and i
