members of the arab league are gathering this weekend to hear a final report of the expired observer mission to syria it's widely expected to condemn president bashar asad who has continued his crackdown on protesters despite promises to stop as if he's waving off their reports there is little doubt that the findings will be used to bolster calls for military intervention. people taken to the streets may look like a real force of power and indeed the one the that in syria protest has apparently failed to prove that months of bloodshed with no sign is going to stop anytime soon. how it holger from the syrian national council the country's main official opposition body says making the people's voice louder and bring an end to the violence is what the essence he was created for our main goal is to help the syrian people there present them and their two national committee in order

to reach this syrian people's freedom and although it's been run by paris based exile that hamdani in the absence he has been recognized as the country's legitimate government by the new libyan authorities and supported by some nato countries which has made some doubt the council's innocent intentions with regards to libya the promise that nato made to the national transitional council perspective leaders was that they be given a major seat at the table in a new libya so there is power broking going on behind the scenes and i absolutely wager that the same thing is happening with syria they've either been bought off financially or they've been promised a major role in a new syrian regime the national congress and there are clear is national transitional council and the syrian national council well it's not just their names they have in common support and sponsor for. the great thing right opposition

forces and they're made to go is to overthrow the regime but there is a difference to the absences huts courters are not in damascus but here in istanbul we are not talking about democratic regime if i go to syria well we have. you know we have to be executed there howlett says he spent fifteen years in jail in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's just because his father supported the opposition he claims nothing has changed since than and the oppression has to stop but how is another matter. is a dictatorial regime they cannot be most of without any pressure claiming they're only going to rely on political and diplomatic pressure the asson see to is now copper age and with the free syrian army fighters who have defected from assad's military in was a clear shift from the essences initial entirely known armed peaceful stance. the

a say on being single but london wants to call the shots and get it done and dusted . they don't want to talk about the substance i sometimes feel when i listen to them it's not a referendum they want it's a never ending question that you have to debate and that's keep our country together. but why would scotland want to separate itself from a britain that still among the world's richest economies scotland always retained its own distinct national identity and the s.n.p. feels it's almost time to take that one step further and hope for a yes vote from the scottish people would mean scotland would gain control over its own north sea oil and gas and represent itself on the international stage but it doesn't want to hold a referendum until two thousand and fourteen and that delay is letting london ramp up the scare stories telling. scotland it'll have to pay the price such as the

billions of pounds british taxpayers spent keeping scottish banks alive that it would have to find it own currency and lose thousands of jobs when the navy heads south not that it seems to both the scots who see their country as having been strangled for long enough i don't think it's any of his business if we present a strong enough case to be independent then i don't see that he can argue against it is shocked i think a shock to you but i don't think you seventy see the flyers about. scots of never taken kindly to hearings stern words from the mother of all parliaments down in london but for the nationalists it's a boost to the lackluster thirty percent support for a split mr cameron feels he had to take the initiative but it's completely but viable he's actually been the best recruiting sergeant this impi i think is a top certainly says margaret thatcher. in the last seven days with. bush.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is pressuring you are to impose an embargo on iranian oil immediately or the country's nuclear ambitions the e.u. will decide on the sanctions in a few days but may delay their effect until july while countries look for a new oil supplier iran has been threatening to block the strait of hormuz a vital world fuel supply route if the sanctions are imposed a move the u.s. has military action it's been building up its naval forces near the persian gulf with two aircraft carriers and their ask or it's already there. and from a war group international action center says washington's determined to get its hands on the radio after losing control of it decades ago. the motivation for the u.s. to continue repressing the iranian people to assassinate nuclear scientists it has nothing to do with any love of democracy it has everything to do with the fact that

the iranian people rose up in one nine hundred seventy nine and took control of the oil resources and they have never ever forgiven them for that and the us has never wanted to tolerate the fact that the iranian people and not show or oil and not texaco control of the oil resources in iraq any threats of wars must be strongly opposed because these kind of wars serve the ruling elite they serve the wall street bankers and they don't serve working class people or millions and millions of unemployed people in this country if they cut the military budget they could put people to work there could be jobs but there's not jobs there's war there's continued threats of war and our enemies are in iran they're here in the united states in the halls of power in congress and on wall street. the u.k. secret service has been literally wronged by the admission of one of the country's former top officials who confirmed that britain had been spying on russia has come six years after moscow first presented itself a geisha is after catching agents red handed over bennett has more. it's not exactly the most good. amorous of james bond gadgets but hidden in this fake stone

was a high tech transmitted british spooks used to spy on russia the allegations from moscow have always been dismissed but six years on there is rock solid evidence the u.k. can no longer deny tony blair's former chief of staff come clean admitting british spies were caught red handed the spy rock was embarrassing they had us bang to rights clearly they had known about it for some time and had been saving it up for a political purpose. the embarrassing revelations confirmed the findings of a russian television report in two thousand and six it showed this video of a man slowing down and looking at the rock as he passed apparently an agent beaming top secret intelligence from a mobile computer to a digital drop point concealed in the stone another man was filmed picking up the rock and collecting the data out of the moment was the one behind the exposé and

left no stone unturned but. at first i had to be dealt i thought it might be a fake story or a political game but we cross checked everything with multiple sources and it turned out to be true and some footage we didn't include in the film was particularly convincing but for example there was a video of a british spy unit in front of the camera that camera was hidden under a tree in the songs lying nearby the guy wanted it to look natural so we pretended that he needed to take a leak n.e.p. right in front of the camera before picking up a stone and leaving. but it was his word against his britain fiercely denied the allegations with tony blair laughing them off as russian propaganda the truth was buried inside the u.k. secret service headquarters supposedly never to be seen again so after six years of dodging the bullet why admit it now they're very embarrassing but i think that the british government has decided. to have bygones are bygones and say ok we made

a mistake. in up and we want better relations from now on too i would see this as a first step on the road to improve relations with russia this is the home of britain's spooks m i six the government is a broad their job we're not we secret but how they do it is or at least should be to the embarrassment of these revelations is not so much that spying itself but the fact they were caught doing it opposed. world war agreement supposedly forbids britain and russia from spying on each other no doubt they'll be more careful from now on all of the bennett. on take a look at some other stories from around the world deadly roadside bomb explosion targeting a police car has killed one civilian in southeastern turkey twenty seven more people were wounded in the attack including seven police officers and one has claimed responsibility for the blast here the kurdish rebels fighting for the
