watching a very warm welcome to me now russia is defending its draft u.n. resolution on syria while the u.s. and its allies want the text changed from moscow is confident its join up a balanced approach to solving the crisis the draft condemns all sides an ongoing conflict corn for the violence to stop while tuning out foreign intervention sanctions the u.s. wants the blame for the bloodshed put on damascus it also won't acknowledge that the opposition is arms despite of the only to practice claim to be fighting to bring down the regime more than five thousand civilians are thought to have been killed in syria since march times columnist. thinks the west is looking to soften up the country before making its move on what's interesting is what the u.s. and nato countries consider 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 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 at the back so there is the fog of three war is already there so the russian move is an intelligent move because it is a preemptive i would say resolution it condemns both sides in asked for a u.n. peacekeeping mission in fact just sort of what nato wants is simmering civil war let's put it this way as a friend you for something much tougher probably after the american elections in one year. but the syrian opposition self-titled political leaders are holding their first congress into next year but the arab spring revolutions began

a year ago is being seen as an attempt to rally support among arab countries this is new president who was at the conference opening the country doesn't recognize the syrian national council that is sympathetic to the first anniversary of the zia street protests which saw the regime toppled and elections held but for some there's little to show for the effort was really going to scope out. a year ago mohamed bouazizi set himself on fire to protest against the authorities and unleashing public ferry over corruption and poverty which led to the 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. 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 haven't got money think those who can broaden reaped all the benefits they're all in the new government the simple folk are left with nothing. but the litany genre evolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater present asian 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 and the western media has hailed the decision evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country northern africa region a year has passed and people who live here is the very few of the soldiers they have asked for. actually taken place. everything is still as it used to be billions have come and gone and the town his. unemployment is still the same if not worse

and the only things that changed you can now express our opinion but the relations 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 have all together in those courting city was it tunisia coming up military vengeance against the soldiers virtues suspect bradley manning gets to a military hearing the supports a saying the deadly data he allegedly field should see him decorated instead of discipline. violent unrest in kazakhstan as left at least ten people dead in a western oil town clashes broke out when independence day celebrations turned violent the police reportedly firing live rounds at the crowd until points about how events on developing interior ministry claims the situation has calmed down but

activists say crowds gather again on little campaign in the country to hold out and it's difficult to establish exactly what's happening because communications with the city are down. to local authorities of your nose and we're trying to organize a concert to go to this. independence day in the square where workers already have been demanding the reinstatement was there one month course one didn't like that and the early stage they said. local authorities believe there's informational blood gate so i'm going to. internet. law. and of course i will be keeping across how the situation unfolds in kazakhstan to bring you the latest as we get it. all

coming up we focus on turning teens away from trouble in the rest of caucuses where does it start to discover what's being done to help young people turn their backs on militant brainwashing. a new york court has ruled that provided material support to the plotters and hijackers in the 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 radio leaders were not in court. has been ordered to pay damages with quite how they going to be collected isn't clear to iran has always denied any connection to al qaida raney an american activist 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 candlelight vigils on the streets of tough broad solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. on cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taleban who. is the enemy of iran as. 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. for more news down the regime has boiled over in the egyptian capital clashes between the military and civilian demonstrators left at least three people dead and more than two hundred it is after troops moved in to disperse a three week sit in protest demanding an urgent end. despite the second stage of the great election process being under way grew when it was rumored police he's been campaigning. floods triggered by a tropical storm in the southern philippines nearly two hundred people over night about two thirds of the victims died in. the city worst hit by the disaster officials say the number killed by the floods is likely to rise. machine gun fire on the gaza israel border has left one man dead and two other people

wounded the israeli military said troops opened fire after hearing a loud explosion but it has not been confirmed when the man was killed by military but it comes just a week after israel carried out air strikes on gaza killing five and injuring dozens more. sanctions have been lifted against libya's banks to try and lessen the country's cash crisis u.n. security council has fallen by america moving most of its restrictions against tripoli they were imposed after his regime in february the start of the uprising that killed more than thirty thousand people and dealt a blow to libya's economy and it's a battle or oil industry. libya's civil war ended almost two months ago the off the shelf still resonates nationwide as altie reports online hate one song says to let the market off its kind of was a war crime into speculation if it could be held accountable. also on the

websites of the world trade organization welcomes russia into the fold to explore what that might mean at home and abroad what you can find out more. than. twenty years ago are just countries. to some degree of. what. each began a journey. where did it take. this

unpunished. the military hearing of the wiki leaks suspect has opened with bradley manning's lawyers demanding the officer overseeing his case steps aside they claim his other role investigating the whistleblower web site's founder makes him biased and manning is accused of releasing secret military and diplomatic data to wiki leaks made his first public appearance since being detained over a year and a half of the army private faces twenty two charges of distributing government secrets which he eventually passed to wiki leaks and aiding the enemy face life in prison if convicted antiwar activist brian becker says manning will be considered a hero for his sacrifices in reading 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 and. when next we head to one of russia's most unstable regions and the battle to stop the young one prey to terrorists. is in russia's headlines almost every day with reports of exchanges of foreign explosions eighty percent of all anti terror operations in russia carried out in the tribal republic in the collection of reports efforts are also being made to wipe out radicalism. 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 and to tell 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 affected piece their lives back together i had a turns to spend the day with. 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 her husband was killed by robbers and she was left

with nothing but her children will sit 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 brother should not be unusual our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in if they're in need to come to help them with most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask who help three years ago said lana was in the same position when one day her son failed to return home she didn't know what to do and most valuable time that could have been used to press. with the shouldn't even knew then what i know today my rights the right people i could have saved him i could have found out where he was have done something. yeah new. song 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 of course this quite often people that fall under the influence of those with no financial or social prospects and see going into the forests at used them as and 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. at first 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 she only listened to her new friends who were. 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 doubly skirmishes are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region the tarus 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 russia's 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 yet if anyone told me

thirty years ago that life in dagestan would be like what we see now i would never believe that. the 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. but there's been an insurgent attack against a police station in the afghan capital now always hurts but it's the latest in a string of assaults which the taliban has been down to across the country recent months later says it's confident it's making progress in the war but artie's contributor thinks they need a reality check. the pentagon chief addressing the u.s. forces at the forward operating base sharon impacted her provence afghanistan made a very unusual statement he opened up claiming that they were assays winning in

afghanistan and here rep he's sure to address by admitting that we have not won in this conflict the only time they had a has managed to make a very big time disservice to the u.s. commander in chief effectively distracting and postponing their realistic risk assessment of the situation owned the ground in afghanistan and across its border until the white house we'll take your reality check despite a nudge due to the polls s.a.'s month coming from their former cia and current pentagon chief their white house after going to him 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 blood and the u.s. taxpayers' money. new zealand has delivered aid to a russian fishing vessel that's been stuck in ice in antarctica for two days before

it delivered fuel and the pump to help prove there to to get rid of the water which is leaking in the ship spotted a home about one hundred meters below the water don and crew members have been ditching cargo to decrease the ship's weight rescuers say if they manage their the vessel could be repaired and to save out of trouble. now the internet was built on a backbone of freedom freule use it but of all aimed at 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 they 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 youtube 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. for freedom of speech often means having to be more savvy when it comes to filtering the facts in the mainstream news were often missed now

here's from people in new york about whether they're tired of being pollutant. 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 just going to pick the right one that you want to listen to is the right one around one know. you're going to listen to them all and make up your own mind when 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 news to 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 obvious puzzle for anybody beyond bias so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because they're professionals who journalists with a job but they're still human well they have

a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue and a lot of the television isn't that a shame that the news would be untrue. but the thing is it sells papers and it sells news and people watch it people off to china that bother you no not at all just the way the world. believe what you want to believe in 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 whoever was biased 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 there might be

a slant but i think it's a moniker that people have put on them. i don't there's no good service they are they are but that's ok they should just admit it they do i think i think some of you know they're fair and balanced they say orders in person experts make a. personal. maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding they admit their bias and maybe that at least be accountable for the opinion they report. a russian built rocket has successfully from the european spaceport in french guiana taking with it a payload of mostly spy satellites for fronts one of the civilian uses though is that one of the satellites will provide high resolution. images of the earth. is a chilean in the sky used for farmlands so if the second time
