respond to that so that is not a provocation but in terms of real provocation i think that what is provocative is the united states sending is warships thousands of miles away from his homeland into the persian gulf and also waging wars rounding iran with wars in iraq and afghanistan military bases all around iran that is provocative and iran is trying to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity the first day of the year has seen thirteen protesters reportedly killed near the syrian capital by government forces arab league observers on a mission to the country damascus to stop the bloodshed with the organization threatening to pull out of the monitors judy ongoing violence and journalist action return says as the conflict is a powder keg that could ignite the entire region it's certainly the view boy that we must believe the most believe opposition groups it seems that any ridges no

except as a source what is no doubt is that thousands of syrian soldiers or dying. have died because of peaceful protests this isn't a libya syria is a linchpin of the middle east and the united states and other countries are the more intelligent people realize that there will be turmoil right across the middle east if anything happens to destabilize the government forces but certainly syria the syrian government itself has to step up the pace because it's certainly losing the propaganda battle another arab country leaving is still recovering from the virtual civil war that toppled colonel gadhafi last year while there are signs of stability tensions are rising between the tribes and relations that fought together against the regime filed this report from tripoli early in that week. flying high but still running low almost two months after the lifting of a no fly zone over tripoli the city's airport operates far below its capacity to

the passenger traffic keeps increasing every month as more and more adeline's and putting tripoli back on their side schedules the tripoli airport is once again buzzing with visitors a feller's have already within service and more expected to follow in the coming months but while flight controllers and customs officials are back of their desks it's still the militia who call the shots here and the rebels themselves admit that the situation is still way to trouble and to cede control to civilian authorities there no longer flashing by guns to get make it very clear who is in control here the rebel brigades from the western city of his entire captured the airport in late august as the rebels over on the capital the control of this key facility how the town with a population of some fifty thousand to rise to national prominence since then is in time militia has successfully styled itself as the save guards of libya's future

the sword for forty two years our country had nothing. just one and same person. now we have a historic mission to overcome the difficulties of the transitional period we can build a new country and that. is one of the top guns in tripoli these days primarily a colonel in the get off his army he still keeps the good offices army cap in his office his subordinates are now holding the deposed libyan leader's son safe will islam. we are against any dictator of history repeats itself we will wage a war but we will let the rule of law decide his fate. didn't god the zintan misrata these libyan c.d.'s one after another rose against gadhafi as regime . their militias now represent the real axis of power in the country as their very

soon their legacy and i genders as this tribes on the only base knew tricolor the prospect of civil war in libya is always there and it has a hole which has been there but has been effectively mastered by the very strong centralized rule of the gadhafi regime but of course now that that has been destabilized we see this all of the tensions there in the fabric of libyan society coming to the fore another militia commander in charge of tripoli rebels is preparing for an interview it's been a month since he changed his military fatigues for a business suit abdullah maker is now trying to transform rebels under his command into a political force a laptop has replaced every rival as his main tool internet is his new front line of the armed assistant at his door is a sign that the political process is still in its very early stages but. we've seen many examples in the past when people's revolutions were stolen and we are

very clear that our struggle is far from over gadhafi may still come back in some other shape or form and in that case who have to take up our weapons and defend our revolution. guns are still a common side on the streets of tripoli of their prevalence has visibly decreased the city's covered with posters calling on the rebels to turn them in the design element of militia has so far failed to translate into national reconciliation the competition among various brigades may have become less visible but not less in towns the nato alliance would like to build up. and the the vision within the groups or the part is that they have revolutionised against the qaddafi regime and according to my own understanding they would like to see certain provinces being divided inside the state of libya back in the arrival hall isn't turned rebels are screening passengers bags on to the posters left from the old regime to get out his golden frame portrait that maddest at the airport the euro is gone he should have

human have glued the libyan society for several months if you skilling the former you need appears to have died as well actually the work of art the tripoli. this is on c.n.n. still ahead for you this hour the u.n. bringing. you here but not too much as the leaders of the debt stricken euro zone prepare for what could be a crucial twelve months with financial turmoil on their minds even as the rest of the world or celebration of the arrival of take twelve. so we take a look back at just a few of the momentous stories that made headlines in twenty eleven around the world. in egypt pro-democracy protesters how to candlelight vigil in cairo's tahrir square new year's eve in memory of those killed during the uprising that ousted hosni mubarak meanwhile the u.s. says egypt's current crews have agreed to hold raids on pro-democracy rights groups earlier this week soldiers and police stormed offices of no government

organizations including some funded by washington documents and computers were seized as part of investigations into the foreign funding of organizations groups accused the ruling military of using the same tactics of repression as the mubarak regime and foreign policy analysts dr things the channels want to make sure they hold on to power but people won't stop until they ousted. this is part of the. forces. making sure. you can use more. to do that to the type of government they want because that's those are the same generals by the way who work for mubarak. so that's really basically his forte of the struggle is going to be using going to go forward or is that a who isn't going to be molded and some dude into some missive role to the minute thirty but maybe the military has to step aside and listen to the government come

to follow the ones that election are held and elections should be held a soonest possible they will not give up the phone that easy but i think the egyptian people and the arabs in general how mosaddegh feel for our government and they have distorted the dignity they were not following another minute that we didn't think it should be on t.v. i think all the evidence indicates that despite the sacrifices that have been. on world news and briefly this hour first in nigeria where the country's leader has declared a state of emergency in areas hit by a wave of islam mr tykes president goodluck jonathan borders with neighboring countries after a string of christmas day blasts which killed over forty people and his vow to crush boko her run militants who claimed responsibility violence has continued since churches throughout the country were first attacked a week ago tens of thousands fled their homes fearing further conflict. south

sudan's government is sending army and police to an area at the center of the violent tribal conflict the town of people was a time to buy thousands of fighters from rival tribes who torched buildings stole livestock and for schools to leave during triple dip in order in the region were unable to enforce security and recent months ethnic infighting caused by cattle rustling has left about a thousand people dead. u.s. president barack obama has signed into effect a law which means any person can be detained indefinitely without charge the major defense bill is aimed at dealing with terror suspects and comes with a massive six hundred sixty two billion dollar prize time but critics say the military will now have more authority to interrogate people denying them their basic constitutional rights. there's not much new year cheer from economists predicting a return to recession in europe for twenty two world in fact leaders used their new year messages to warn hard times ahead in their countries and chancellor angela

merkel said euro was facing its most severe test in decades while french president sarkozy has warned that the debt crisis blanketing the continent was far from over many governments have been forced to slash their spending to me debt obligations as economic growth in europe has been at a standstill and some analysts believe that the e.u. leaders attends that keeping the eurozone together is only deepening the crisis. u. community leaders are drawing to sure what the eurozone by having great to do. of centralization and more having countries like france and germany have the final say in a sense over the budgets of those e.u. member states that have excessive bitit deficit but that really isn't the answer to the problems what's really needed is either a massive injection of cash into countries like greece and italy to shore up their economies course another option would of course to recognize that the single currency has hurt competitiveness in many nations of the eurozone so really there's

a number of options either to transfer funds from the north to the struggling south or course have an orderly break up of the eurozone. israeli military has confirmed it's carried out an asse trike and guns on friday one palestinian was killed in that time which television claims was aimed at preventing militants from firing rockets into israel the country has been stepping up its ass trikes in recent months leaving dozens dead three years after the jewish state briefly invaded gaza and militia officials are saying they may have to start what they are calling a war necessity attempts at brokering peace deal so far provision for its list but israeli colonists kadian levy thinks tel aviv isn't really thinking and trying to avoid. three years ago israel had the carte blanche to not only the west to allow do this. and. say it would again the city but we are facing a new egypt and gaza ease in the backyard of egypt and i am no true that egypt will

remain indifferent visibly another thing but having said this i'm not sure that this is enough to prevent an attack because unfortunately israeli politicians in general always react in the most racial and logical way the current government of israel has no serious intention about serious dialogue with the palestinians maybe some photo opportunities but nothing more than these and the palestinian authority has just launched another proposal for israel to get back to the negotiating table they even gave up the precondition of freezing the settlements which is a minimum. condition and they just just symbolic release of one hundred palestinian prisoners to get back to the goetia table it would be to say no. the beginning of times as well hasn't been very festive for the occupy wall

street protesters with around seven to spending the night in custody in new york and they were arrested just a few midnight option demonstrators took to the streets of the big apple on new year's eve they try to return to the place where it all started over three months ago as a coach upon us were stalled by police on the public on the protests as more and marched on three lower manhattan they occupy wall street movement since its formation has spread across the us and to other countries state and economic analyst marks prime goal says that the number of protests is only growing twenty twelve because still source has come to come out with adequate measures to tackle taken on the problems. of the occupy wall street movement has mostly given voice to a sense of frustration and anger about unfairness isn't and justice is both real and perceived that a lot of people have about the economy i think it's only ambiguous that the u.s. economy doesn't work it doesn't work very well overall the g.d.p. growth is for our present eight point six percent unemployment is probably under

reporting and it's quite high the high level of college debt that people are coming out with young people and student loan debt and their inability to get a jobs or b. jobs that pay them enough to live and pay back their debt makes very clear that the united states has serious economic problems we haven't really seen anything like a suggestion about a different plan or a different way of organizing the economy come out of the or occupy wall street movement yet you know it's also a very young movement so that may evolve somewhere down the line but this looks to me like the early stages of something with a lot more to calm most of the story yet to be written so to speak and i think what we're seeing is frost duration and anger people beginning to coalesce around that frustration and anger but i for one haven't seen real proposals on economic policy yet we may see a bit more of that this year as it's election time and policy issues i think authorities had hoped the movement would kind of fizzle out or go away and when it didn't want to back grew and got more and more attention and more and more it here

and there was little a. a bit of a heavy handed over response by authorities that involved using force part of the reason it's a problem is because what it tends to do is bring out more protesters and raise public sympathy for the protesters the ham handed and overly marshall response to protest has actually helped to build the occupy wall street movement the formation of the pressure group in new york which demands social equality under ones to rule the breach was one of their remarkable milestones on the twenty eleven under the sun now it looks back at how the movement started and other big developments on the past year. two thousand and eleven could easily go down as the most eventful year in years the killing of bin ladin after a decade long manhunt in libya's gadhafi after months of nato bombing and the death of north korea's kim jong il don't even begin to illustrate twenty eleven. that time shows the protester as person of the year and although there were

different slogans signs and demands of solutions twenty eleven will ultimately be remembered as the year people came out onto the streets the arab spring bloomed into a european summer which harvested an american autumn from cairo to california moscow to madrid to her ear to occupy global rallies shared common themes but one thing stood out in the middle east and north africa alone it was protests that lead down one road regime change. tunisia and egypt got rid of their dictators without war but libya was not so lucky nato and allies began a humanitarian mission with a fierce bombing campaign the critics called it a mislabeled invasion to take down gadhafi for benefits the only reason they're interested have with libya is about the oil you hear anybody screaming and yelling

about all those people last week that were killed in the ivory coast or who sudan gadhafi was brutally killed in october as the world watched the graphic video go viral thousands of civilians were killed over months of bombing and twenty twelve neared syria found itself in a similar set up for intervention russia and china fearing a repeat of the situation in libya a civil war intensifies this is a wreck. that that that wrecked. clash between the u.s. and nato on one side and russian shined on the war in on the other side much more david was in libya protests continue in egypt libya syria and many more arab countries as the year ends. the battle to save the drowning single currency left to board rooms and banks in twenty eleven and flooded the streets of europe most commonly and violently in athens greek debt became the

centerpiece of the euro crisis protests raged against desperate austerity cuts to qualify for i.m.f. bailout germany and france fined for influence in the debt rating so i think we will see an exit of greece given the situation in which the greek economy find itself has become really unavoidable draining the economy of big euro brother germany can't go on forever greece and italy are now led by on a lark to brussels back technocrat leaders who are trying to curb the crisis coming into new year critics say twenty eleven bell outs or bust was the beginning of the end for the single european currency there's every chance the euro is going to crash. london burned for days in the summer of twenty eleven what began as a peaceful protests demanding justice over the death of a twenty nine year old man who was shot by police turned into days of riots and

left authorities helpless talks of possibly bringing out the military bars to shops were looted car set on fire and windows smashed across the u.k. the police the job center all the banks everything that's happening the recession you know there's a lot of anger about that social experts also through a felt multicultural programme and racism into the mix. at the. institutional. racist as well the riots faded but the problems are still passing some say only a spark is needed to set the public off again. occupy wall street became a household name in the us and around the world when the protests began in september if you were talking about mainstream media stayed silent until seven

hundred people were arrested on the brooklyn bridge and that was truly based in the end of his fruits of american politics but. they are disorganized they look but there's one of the protesting nobody seems to know but negative coverage didn't stop us from spreading from small towns to huge ports occupied was not going anywhere raids on camps heavy handed police and burning pepper spray only helped occupy grow read their message of the need for economic equality and you know end corporate greed their slogan became we are the ninety nine percent and they are the rich the one percent from oakland to boston the more people occupy the more. mentality became more and that in the was the. scenario if you're right i'm

right in the army or police forces have been militarized they are working more in cooperation with the pentagon they're buying and being given military surplus the quick meant that has been kind of designed for use in war and this is something that needs to treating the public as you would treat an enemy a public that has promised to come out in full force in twenty twelve. parliamentary elections were the push behind tens of thousands of people coming out onto the streets of moscow after allegations the december duma vote was raked. up the protest at least fifty thousand strong the largest in recent history call for free and fair elections and remains peaceful ruling party united russia lost popularity in the vote with official results putting their numbers at almost fifty

percent but experts say a sixteen percent drop from two thousand and seven should be taken as a warning i think a lot of people wanted to punish. russia for having power for so long maybe not doing everything they could protest organized by vast groups of opposition members are set to continue in twenty twelve next year russia along with the u.s. and france holds presidential elections which makes it a safe bet people will be out on the streets in twenty twelve in europe america and around the world and he said no way r.t. moscow. is the child twenty eleven waiting for you on our website at home and also the f.a. you. can see how the world celebrating the arrival of twenty twelve so you'll find some spectacular footage of celebrations around the globe. also the end of the
