this is a. this is illegal hasty with no proper investigation usually with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain military trials provide no justice and violate human rights you know you have a nineteen year old getting a twenty five year old son to your centers because he had a box of molotov cocktails and people who are found guilty of killing somebody by brutally beating him up and torturing him until he died these are getting seven years in jail so i mean it there obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people are trying for absolutely no reason i mean some were just just being in the wrong place at the wrong time it's enough to get you in trouble that's exactly what has made says is his case september the time these really embassy in cairo the place. the young screenplay writer was present at. clashes

between the army and demonstrators and began helping the injured arrested he was brought to military barracks after summary trial which lasted just twenty minutes he was taken straight to prison to serve almost four months for terrorism he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. emerge in a seventy year old who's been in the army for at least thirty years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform and this lifestyle and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days what did know her son's whereabouts where the wound was and when his sister came to me and said i have to talk to you i knew it was about him hoping for the best i prepared myself for the worst. a month after ahmed was relieved he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at these really embassy. her goal is to intimidate people the message is clear if you go to tory you'll be arrested and it makes us even stronger how is

city of homs the country's second largest residential area aleppo suffers twin car bombings that claim at least twenty five lives responsibility was initially claimed by a senior member of the armed opposition but that was later denied by the free syrian army street was no un mandate to intervene in the crisis the united states is now said to be gathering a coalition of countries willing to prop up the opposition and pile more pressure on damascus but some activists say intervention will be a costly mistake. in syria i think it is a matter of there are some very legitimate interest in the country of people who would like to be able to participate more in their government and i think the government has made some effort to respond they think it needs to make more of an effort but i don't think that comes through foreign intervention it comes through indigenous processes of the people in the. and sheree if you look at any foreign intervention over the last several years you see that after the foreign

intervention many more people died then could have possibly died through any type of indigenous process even one involving violence and i think that moscow and some of its allies on this matter are very wise in the pitfalls of foreign intervention and there is a u.n. charter makes it very clear the use of force should only be the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict. and that was curtis doebbler activist an international human rights lawyer talking to us from geneva coming our way here in our team testing the slopes of russia's major ski resorts begins its first rehearsal for the winter olympic games by staging a competition for the world's leading winter athletes. also the canine contortionist meet the friendly moto who excels in the art of the extreme sport park or is because he has become an online celebrity because of his death defying

don't trust the government the government had an option they could have just said no we're not going to accept these measures and will go to default and by the way there's no reason that a default has to equal an exit from the euro zone i don't see that that connection other people have made that point and that's used to to intimidate the population of greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are going to default i'm going to be one of the chaos and one of the drachma hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics because the people that are in power are bent benefit from a system where they can cooperate with the euro kratz in brussels i don't believe anyone within their right mind would think that they'd be able to to pay those debts back clearly there's an interest for the banks that are on the hook the european central bank is obviously bought a lot of that debt so they stand to lose but at the same time if they just keep rolling it over they're going to lose anyway i think part of this is just a function of the of the system and people just trying to you hear that expression all the time kick the can count down the road but that's not people do all the time in their daily lives and they certainly do it in politics they just they don't want

to deal with the problem now and they just would rather push it along and i think in many many cases that explains a lot of what you see here the ratings agency standard and poor's has poor morphew on the fire of european debt by downgrading virtually all of it only stopped banks thirty four out of thirty seven institutions have been hit including massive banks such as getting credit and intense and power it's another blow after the agency cut reining last month by two notches in a mass downgrade of nine eurozone countries standard and poor's explain the move saying with italy's economy heading into recession the banks may become unable to pay off their wholesale debts. later this hour here in our to our financial expert next geyser gives us his inimitable take on the latest business scandals. we got them just where we want oh. well max this first headline is the theme of the show ok it's bar alou gold bar we're all terrorists now

process and the outcome. according to some polls ron paul is now that good in the u.s. republican presidential candidacy raised does he really have a chance this week let's talk about that do you think chance i personally don't looks weak just physically like an old man and sad to say it may be values are great and everything but. that's interesting so do you think the battle affect the way people vote that's affecting the way aluminite is going to have whatever they will. do you think they're going to choose them. not a chance why not it's just too much on the fringe for the rest of america but you have such a strong contingent among the you. for now well i'll tell you that any changes he'll bring forward will be on his good work that's what i'll tell you that he's

laying down a foundation for the next president whoever he is exactly that's my belief you know and i and i mean the strain yeah i think he's got his i mean i think. those effects of the public the novelty of his kind of a sea world for the twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office he's been o.t. but that's what. politics is based on at the moment i think is interesting he's a nonpolitician speaks very honestly but i don't agree with his policies so if i were living here i wouldn't vote for him no he gets more independents than both then all three candidates of the candidates so why does the media not pay attention to him well basically because he's against the establishment he's against everything is stands for against. military national complex to against the federal reserve do you think he has a chance. he is there are ten zero why he doesn't have the finances of he doesn't

have the team necessary to put together a serious campaign. so you're just talking about how he's running not actually his policies or whether or not he'd be good for the country well if he could doesn't have the team in the money to get his message out nobody's going to hear whether or not eat think ron paul actually has a chance to become the next u.s. president the bottom line is if elected he certainly would shake things up and that seems to be something everyone is looking for. is for that seems to defy gravity and some of the rules of physics appeals to manny too like adrenaline junkies and now a four legged one as well a dog in western ukraine has become an internet sensation over its passion for an active lifestyle. as a story. the two thousand and one french movie that came across she launched
