they're getting weapons smuggled from the middle east to the borders in turkey any in jordan as well this has been already proved then about the u.n. figures lot of people are seriously questioned this number saying that five thousand people were killed over these past few months it makes like almost no one hundred that the effect so there is the fog of three war is already there 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 stop the drop 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. but syrian opposition self-titled political leaders holding their first congress in tunisia the arab spring revolutions began

some jobs but no one wants to listen to the people haven't got money thing those who came from broughton reaped all the benefits they're all in the new government but the simple folk are left with nothing. but the tunisian revolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater presentation 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 and northern africa region a year has passed and people who live here as they bury you of the the. or actually taken place. everything is still as it used to be billions have come and gone and

the tone hasn't changed unemployment is still the same if not worse and 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 bush inspired for mean so with the people's inspiration to revolt against him goes courting city was it tunisia. but coming out military vengeance against a soldier's virtues we can take 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 but police reportedly farming live rounds at the crowd there are conflicting reports about how event something anything interior ministry claims the

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 that were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of top araud in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taleban who. enemy of iran was osama bin ladin what we're seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process and i'm

other role investigating the whistleblower in websites found makes him biased manning is accused of releasing secret military and diplomatic data to wiki leaks and made his first public appearance since being detained removing the profit the army private places twenty two charges of distributing government secrets which allegedly passed to wiki leaks and of 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 or 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 and. the next we head to one of russia's most unstable regions and the battle to stop the young forming prayed to terrorists.

not to stand up his and russia's headlines almost every day there are points 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 exalt people in when they're young until rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials tourism has often warranted the lives of many innocent families across the region because of that a number of organizations have sprung up fighting for victims' rights and helping is also fucked it pays 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 sitting on 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 gravel should know when you will our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in if they're in need to come to help most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask who help three years ago with lana 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 good have done something. you. 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 a truce 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 slang were 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 dudley's 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 wants 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 in shootouts with terrorists and very often that happens even in the capital city of the region . locals say it's hardly surprising muslims are turned. into 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 but it's the latest in

a string of assaults with 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 his short address by admitting that we have not won in this conflict. 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 due 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 us 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 of thirty to get rid of the water which is making it a ship called sponsor has about one hundred meters but no the water nine and crew members have been ditching condé try and decrease the ship's weight that's going to say they manage that vessel could be repaired and could send out to trouble. the internet was built on a backbone of freedom for all who use it but in the end it curbing online piracy

being debated by the u.s. congress is being seen as a smokescreen to stifle free speech internet activist 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 the 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 that 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 no. you're going to listen to them all or make up your own why do you case a political party is it government is in power but i can't. see things on

the media i absolutely do think it's important for the new sitra 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 obvious possible for anybody to be on bias so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because they're professionals it was the journalists who set up but they're still human. well they have a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue is a lot of a tell all of us 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 know not at all just the way they were out the way it is 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 biased anyway because a lot of people that think that 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 they don't think they're biased that i think they themselves they may be slant but 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 now i think some of you know they're fair and balanced they say orders and each person can be these experts they come in every individual has his own personal bias you can get away from that maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding they admit their bias and maybe bad and they'll at least be accountable
