and 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 its 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 is national sovereignty and territorial integrity an advisory board to the arab league has recommended as the immediate withdrawal of the organizations want to choose from syria the arab parliament says the assad regime continues killing government opponents despite the presence of arab league observers activists say over one hundred fifty people have been killed since the monitors mission began last tuesday the arab league peace plan was the removal of security forces and how the weaponry from cities talks to start with the opposition and human rights workers and journalists to be allowed into the country it also calls

for the release of political prisoners journalist afshin rattansi says don't go into violence as a powder keg that could ignite the entire region. certainly the western media viewpoint that we must believe the most believe opposition groups it seems that any mobile footage is no except as a source what is no doubt is the thousands of syrian soldiers or dying and didn't they haven't 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 some of the more intelligent people realize that there will be turmoil right across the middle east if anything happens to destabilize the government from outside forces but certainly syria the syrian government itself has to step up the pace because it's certainly losing the propaganda battle. and another country recovering from the brutal civil rule that toppled colonel gadhafi last year while there are signs of

stability tensions are rising between the tribes and relations that fall together against the regime filed this report from tripoli early in the 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 yet the passenger traffic keeps increasing every month as more and more adeline's of putting tripoli back on their flight schedules the tripoli airport is once again buzzing with visitors a feller's have already been service and more are 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 they're no longer flashing their guns to get make it very clear who is in control

here the rebel brigades from the western cd of the captured the airport in late august as the rebels over on the capital the control of this key facility how the town with the population of sample fifty thousand rise to national prominence since then does in time militia has successfully styled itself as the save guards of libya's future. for forty two years our country had nothing no state institutions just one insane person. now we have a historic mission to overcome the difficulties of the transitional period and build a new country that animals will be a part of. is one of the top guns in tripoli these days primarily a colonel in the get off his army he still keeps the get off his army cap in his office his subordinates are now holding the deposed libyan leader's son safe will islam. we are against any dictator but if history repeats itself we will wage

a war but we will let the rule of law decide his fate. didn't ghazi zintan misrata these libyan c.d.'s one after another rose against gadhafi is regime . their militias now represent and the real axis of power in the country as their various and their legacy and agendas as this tribes on the only base new 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 the stabilized 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 bob dylan maker is now trying to transform rebels under his command

into a political force a laptop has replaced their rival as his main tool internet is his new front line of the armed assistant at his door is a sign that political process is still in its very early stages. 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 and there prevalence has visibly decreased the city's covered with posters calling on the rebels to turn them in the design and of militia has so far failed to translate into national reconciliation the competition and man various brigades may have become less visible but not less in towns the nato alliance would like to build upon any division within the groups or

the parties 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 as in town rebels are screening passengers bags on to the posters laughed from the old regime to get out his golden framed portrait that maddest at the airport a year ago is gone hatred of him a have glued the libyan society for several months with his killing to form a unity appears to have died as well as in the work of art see tripoli. still ahead this hour a new year but not much cheer as the leaders of the debt stricken year isn't prepared for what could be a crucial twelve months with financial turmoil on their minds even as the rest of the world is celebrating the arrival of twelve. and we take a look back at just a few of the momentous stories that made the headlines and trying to live in iran the war. the place about now in egypt pro democracy protesters how to count and

rejoice in car is stuck square on new year's eve in memory of those killed during the uprising that ousted hosni mubarak meanwhile the u.s. says egypt's current rulers have agreed to halt raids on pro-democracy rights groups earlier this week soldiers and police stormed offices of nongovernmental organizations including some funded by washington documents and computers were seized as part of investigations into the foreign funding of organizations the groups accuse the ruling miniature of using the same tactics of repression as the mubarak regime foreign policy and. things the journals want to make sure they hold on to power that's people won't stop until they asked them. this is part of the. armed forces way of making sure. you should. do the type of government they want because that's those are the same generals.

who work for mubarak. so that's really basically is part of that struggle is going to go forward or is the. role to the military but the military to step aside and this is really the government from the fall once the election of the election should be held as soon as possible they will not give up the power of the easy but i think the egyptian people in this . house in general lost the field from corrupt government and they have restored of the dignity and they want to not tolerate another minute that if they could ship in the country i think all the evidence indicate that despite the sacrifices that have been. world news and very for you this hour for us to nigeria where the country's leader has declared a state of emergency in areas he'd been away by mr tunks president goodluck

jonathan has shared borders with neighboring countries of tourist train of christmas day blankets which killed over forty people and he vows to crush boko haram militants who claimed responsibility has continued since churches throughout the country were first attacked a week ago turns of thousands have fled their homes fearing for the. south sudan's government is sending army and police to an area at the center of a violent tribal conflict the town of was a target by thousands of fighters from a rival tribe who torched buildings stole my stop and for schools to flee troops deployed in the region were unable to enforce security in recent months ethnic infighting caused by cattle rustling has left about one thousand people. u.s. president barack obama has signed into law which means any person can be detained indefinitely without charge a major defense bill is aimed at dealing with terror suspects and comes with

a massive six hundred sixty two billion dollars price tag but critics say the military will now have more thought he had 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 twelve in fact leaders used their new year messages to wall of hard times ahead in their countries german chancellor angela merkel said europe 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 lead of the terms that's keeping the eurozone together is only deepening the crisis. leaders are trying to shore up the eurozone boy. having greater degrees 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 wilts really needed as 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. the israeli military has confirmed it carried out an ass trike of gaza on friday one palestinian was killed in that time which tel aviv claims it was aimed at preventing militants from firing rockets into israel the country has been stepping up its tracks in recent months leaving dozens dead three years after the jury a state at time to gaza killing fourteen hundred people live chat shows that saying they were have to start what they're calling a city on tuesday israeli and palestinian representatives will meet in jordan to

try to launch talks stalled for more than a year teacher the continued building of jewish settlements on occupied arab lands but israeli comments to get in levy thing that tel aviv is really doesn't want to resolve the conflict. three years ago israel had the carte blanche to not only the west to allow do this. and. say it would again. but this time we are facing a new egypt and gaza ease in the backyard of egypt and i'm not sure that egypt will remain indifferent visa via another. but having said this i'm not sure that this is enough to prevent an attack because unfortunately israeli politicians in general not always react in the most racial and logical way the current government of israel has no serious intentional about serious dialogue with the palestinians maybe some photo opportunities but that's saying more than these the palestinian

authority has just launched another proposal for israel to get back to the negotiation 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 prisoners to get back to the gauche asian table it will be. the beginning of ten to twelve has been very fast. they occupy wall street protests is what around seven to spending the night in custody. and they were arrested just before midnight have to demonstrators took to the streets of the big apple. and they try to return to the place where all started over three months ago. but were stopped by police and the public older knows protests is worth. three lower manhattan the occupy wall street movement and its formation has spread across the u.s. and the country's chief economic analyst marks from the poll says that the number

of protests is only growing to twelve because the four states can't come up with adequate measures to tackle the economic problems. the occupy wall street movement has mostly given voice to a sense of frustration and anger about unfairness isn't and justices both real and perceived that a lot of people have about the economy i think it's an ambiguous that the u.s. economy doesn't work it doesn't work very well overall the g.d.p. growth is poor 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 is 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 now it's also a very young movement so that may evolve somewhere down the line but this looks

like 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 out here and there was a little 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 an overly martial response to protest has actually helped to build the occupy wall street movement. the formation of the protest group in new york which demands social equality under the rule by the rich was one of the remarkable milestones of twenty eleven and our niece and now it looks back at how the movement started and other big developments over the

past year two thousand and eleven could easily go down as the most vengeful year in years the killing of bin ladin after a decade long manhunt 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. time joe's 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 or them 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 led

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 in with libya is about the oil you hear anybody screaming and yelling about all those people last week they were killed in the ivory coast or whose 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 that's twenty twelve neared syria found itself in a similar set up for intervention russia and china fearing a repeat of the situation in libya as civil war intensifies this is a direct effect that rhetoric clash between the u.s.

and nato on one side and russia and china 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 a drowning single currency left 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. bailouts germany and france vying for influence in the debt ridden zone 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 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 a 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 and burn. 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 the 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 in the recession you know there's a lot of anger about that social experts also through a felt multicultural program and racism into the mix. and.

so the police certainly institutional. and probably institutionally 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 u.s. and around the world but when the protests began in september if you were talking about it the mainstream media stayed silent until seven hundred people were arrested on the brooklyn bridge and then truly based in the end of his fruits of american politics but. they are disorganized they look funny what a protest 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 heavyhanded police and burning pepper spray only helped occupy grow and spread

their message of the need for economic equality and an end to 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 occupied the more brutality became more evident by. what you're. right there are police forces have been militarized they are working more in cooperation with the pentagon they're buying and being given military surplus to quit meant that has been kind of designed for use in war and this is something that leads 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. the protest at least fifty thousand strong the largest in recent history call for free and fair elections and remained peaceful ruling party united russia lost popularity in the vote with official results putting their numbers i don't most 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 want to punish. united russia for having power for so long and maybe not doing everything they could protest organized by vast groups of opposition members are set to continue in two thousand and 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's now a party moscow. and we'll have more on the ones that show you twenty eleven waiting for you on our web site home and also there you. see how the world celebrated their arrival of twenty twelve you'll find. footage of new year's celebrations around the globe. and also the end of the years so u.s. troops away found well to you. know the implications and consequences of nine years old. and a look at the op rising demos and disasters of twenty lebanon as seen through the eyes of our correspondents so we hear their testimonies that are. to history. to really. turn stories that shapes two thousand eleven. as the way the news leaks this hour coming
