a monument stands to his sacrifice and his hometown. there's a widespread belief. however the changes in tunisia and there. we've asked for a very few things to upgrade the school to aid families with disabled children and some jobs but no one wants to listen to us the people have got money thing those who came from abroad and 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. like 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 and blood for the revolution the western media has hailed that there is an evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country northern africa region

army is frightened at the prospect of egypt being run by isn't this political process. they're a symptom of a wider power struggle that's taking place between the military and the parliament the new parliament that's been elected that's being elected in phases i think that the military is very frightened of the prospect of an egypt that would be led by islamist political parties they're worried about security they're worried about the economy what this could do to tourism and the delivery reluctant they've gotten used to being in power for many many years since the fifty's i think they're very reluctant to let go of that power i don't think that there actually has been a revolution yet i think that what's happened is that the figurehead of the military regime has been deposed very dramatically certainly that's a hugely significant event it's an earthquake but i thought i would define a revolution as the ousting of the elites from power and i think that the elites in egypt which which are the military i think they're still in power and once the military is gone from power fully gone from power then i think we can describe what
9:05 pm
we're seeing in egypt as a revolution until then when i think these two sides are stuck in their current position fighting it out through a range of ways and one of these ways is street battles between the military security forces and the people so i think it's going to be unpredictable violent in some cases and it's also going to damage egypt's ability to maintain law and order on its streets. thirty four people have been reportedly killed across syria as the arab league demands damascus international. threatening to turn to the u.n. security council for action if the request is refused. forward a new drop resolution to the u.n. security council and see. we're also as demanding by the assad regime and the opposition and the violence and to begin to die and old world rooting out foreign intervention and sanctions but the u.s. and its allies want the russian motion amended and seeks to put the blame for the bloodshed on the damascus authorities alone that's despite thousands of army

9:07 pm
a kangaroo court in america this is totally outrageous its allies by the american government if we want to look for blame we can start with saudi arabia where most of the hijackers came from having lived and worked in arab countries i can tell you there is no way that the arab government did not know what was going on in saudi arabia we could look to germany where many of them lived we could look at american flight schools we could look at f.b.i. agents reported disappear ears and superiors did nothing. iran has no involvement in this whatsoever no the a neoconservative warmongers are trying to demonize iran even more and build up that war and unfortunately the average american voter knows so little we know congresswoman michele bachmann a couple weeks ago was able to say that she would close the american embassy and bring home the ambassador and staff and that wasn't subjected to great ridicule every american i've talked to so far doesn't know anything wrong with that statement right after nine eleven i was shocked that the iranian leadership said
9:08 pm

9:12 pm
ended up in turning into violence and clashes between authorities. and protesters although there's a lot of one clear information about what really happened there in the town of genoa zone where basically this was a protest rally a combined with a celebration of twenty years of independence. and somehow at some point things just totally out of control state government buildings were being set on fire. on the house so the local energy company is also a little on fire basically the some of the members within these activists not really clear whether they were in fact activists but yeah they started according to authorities creating wash threats for the health of locals and

9:15 pm
that the us has adopted if they continue to be rude we will respond if they hear our concerns we will work together. in the wake of protests against this month's election results which have been held across russia the president said he saw and heard the people's concerns but he said political changes in the country should be started from within and never be a result of outside pressure. wrapped up in moscow on saturday with a turnout at someone and a half thousand supporters of the party which didn't make a pass the seven percent threshold needed to win seats in the state duma moscow's but often ask where they gathered became the focal point for protests last week when tens of thousands converged to voice their dissatisfaction with the result. and he. island craft has come to the aid of a russian fishing vessel that's been stranded in talks like ice for two days the flies delivered fuel and other equipment to help the crew to pump out water which

9:18 pm
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 no. you're going to listen to them all and make up your own why are we in the u.k. is that a 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 obvious possible for anybody so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because they're professionals it was we journalists job they're still human. well they have a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue and a lot of it's a lot of it isn't
9:19 pm
a shame that the news would be untrue. but the thing is it sells papers and it sells news and people watch it people watch the channels that bother you no not at all just the way they were. believe what you want to believe do you think it would help people be more informed if news organizations admitted they're biased. i think so but people wouldn't believe them and then they'd turn to whoever was bias anyway because 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 they don't think they're biased that i think they themselves they may be honest land but i think it's a moniker that people have put on them. i don't they're so good here but they are
9:20 pm
they are but that's ok they should just admit it they do i think some know they're fair and balanced baseball owners and each person should be these experts they come in every individual has his own personal bias you get away from it maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding they admit their bias and maybe they'll at least be accountable for the opinion they report. so more news in brief for you this hour massive floods triggered by an express a tropical storm over four hundred people in the southern philippines what about one hundred missing many residents were asleep when the floodwater tore through towns overnight after hours of torrential rain tons of signs have sought refuge in an occupation centers across several provinces. carrying more than three hundred legal migrants from the middle east has sunk over indonesia's job island only
