the slum equivalence of christian democracy and socially conservative well good night stations but perfectly happy to follow the latest economic trends. which dominate the west and do deals with the united states but you make the muslim brotherhood sound fairly benign. do you think that christian minorities and other minorities have something to fear from that well i mean there is always within moderate islamist parties a current which feeling that they can't really offer people what they want which is a decent standard of living which is social safety net work then divert attention by targeting minorities the brotherhood has done it in relation to the copts in egypt and it's not impossible that they're sort of peers in syria will do the same so that is not a good thing i have told but you know we have to wait and see if this is what the majority of the people want then unfortunately it will happen sooner or later.

thank you very much thank. you kathleen.

twelve thirty am in moscow these here are t. headlines iran says it's been considering cutting the oil sales to six countries but it wouldn't do so post at the moment because of the cold snap getting your. syria's president announced as a vote on a new constitution which would effectively and nearly fifty years of single party rule the country this amid rising turmoil. and rallies marking one year since the pro-democracy uprising in bahrain protesters face yet another harsh crackdown with police using tactics and weapons from the

let no one to present it to people who are convinced that syria is some terrorist country. we can help politicians through music when you develop culture in your country you are working through issues in the world of politics to. them and now you can see yes this is the best message we can send to the rest of the world to say come and see what syria is what it is and what it has.

not. since i was young i have loved arabic calligraphy and i believe or should have a message. justice means that the rights of the people. should be returned to them it's. over them that. there should be no more revenge. that he. and i don't want to be an oppressed who becomes an oppressor.

a slave in the cause of the palestinian conflict is that israelis came from all over the world expelled the palestinians from their land and toked their country. are trying to create surely jewish. as many arabs get rid of them as we can. israel is waiting to be off i think there are as one might hope will be some trial so that israel controls every single detail i'll see. are eight lines off after this is the ball being institutions. the walls all the separation will. put the toughest on the ball. suspended

for a. while so what. even. though the other element is domination loot eighty five percent of the country a lot the palestinians in this little enclave is. so we control the country we control the water we control the economy and the palestinians are going to still even reverse this. is really not a good reason for the settlements secure build them to claim the land. do you still want to be sure i will use for sphere of gold the injury to so. you do to all of speed alcohol stands for security. just threw the ball for the school under the tiger i'll still go inside but it's.

just going to go for the whistle. on top of the only thing that will be left here is hatred if. you think that's funny. states or soldiers you find out funny moments i. just stood there. and it isn't fair leave both reaction because it almost as united states bonds. they were taken out of their houses they were going out on the street there killing down. there and not letting them have food water or electricity or anything like that. it just puts them in the worst circumstances every stick his identity and took his

country and took everything from them what do you expect from them of course he's going to blow himself a force is going to kill people so long as they can animal and bird that animal even if it's a remarkable thing like taking care of your dog for years and you put them in a cage and you start hurting him hurting them because. waiting you. just plug so you. believe. you did. most of the things that we have tried all the way we tried to fight we tried to resist after bad they started calling us terrorists but we are defending our land we are defending our rights.

this is about security and. it shows how this with h. was wiped out. and the grass grew and he took all the remains of the houses to make it look as if there was no they wish here. this is the tune we should use to communicate and to keep alive the history the memories. and i'm. not going to be a suburb of jerusalem or the seaton by the separation no. sound the music was composed by a band called the five and they are palestinian rappers from a refugee camp in lebanon.

the problem i was going to you know when. you. buy your drugs how you're going to eat you know. and. we sing for people who don't listen to rap rap is not the main goal. the goal is the cause for which we are singing because as the most important thing. there will be no peace in the world as long as there are people being killed in palestine. children such as. the cats can make a noise or suffocated by this circumstance. it's important that they just express whatever country it's in their political turmoil because. i don't feel life is a picture in the future i would like to become

a journalist. specialists. and to show the truth. when you give. no responsibility. for evil to do these kids a chance to really show to the people perspective on how. it is. to. have some of your little boy see them. for to see all. those who would love. to. kill

markers in some parts of rio de janeiro brazil there are more deaths than actual war zones. here it's an urban war where any living being can be a potential targets. for murder it's like an epidemic of minor conflicts everywhere where firearms. to small disputes. disputes over power people shoot for no reason. also not only the criminals but also the police. but i watch these barbaric i. watch people being murdered in this way i'm not feel anything. to change people's lives but i do my part as an artist.

to. keep the freedom i wanted a year. of a mother hugging a school kid who had been shot dead with a smiling policeman next to them holding a smoking gun. if you. got and they came in the middle of the night and painted over this billboard. is fascism. one absurdity of the silences another absurdity if you open the paper today there is going to be a new absurdity that will make you forget yesterday's. time . to play. politically. to.

be a k forty seven is the most popular rifle in wars throughout the world where you can buy one on africa for eight u.s. dollars for the armed groups like it because it's light and children can carry it and shoot it with. the fly. is this is the weapon which was designed to kill if it can be changed and why can't humans change to. i i. thank. god for reggae is a cultural organization. i gave them one of these guitars so they could keep

working in the slums of rio de janeiro music the kids find the tools to change their reality. i. think you have to be very quick. and continue in the rossini islama you can just walk around like that. for my work at the racine islam was created to open doors so people could understand the slums and the people who live there. myside i have photographed ten other slums. less than five percent of people in the slums are

criminals they are the ones who give the slums a bad name. but the slums are filled with hardworking and honest people it's estimated that in ten years more than half of the world's population will be living in these types of communities in these communities where the violence exists but why in my photos i try to show where the problem is and where the solution is known and i think it starts in childhood at this age. ok here is where the problem is. but if we target that age i think that a lot can be done but at the same week but about the same is. that. it.

might come down. that might ben right i want to set things my brilliant date. in the case of it's poetry that has united the community. more than one hundred fifty thousand people get together each year at the international poetry festival of men to. demonstrate to the entire world that in a country so drained by war. shows to humanity that the whole world's problems are. suffering is that every war but hope also lives in the world. since i live in such a big country that everything is far. education food. health. house in. my country still be

the justice doesn't extend to all. there is abuse of power and greed on that trail resources because we are the children of a planet a planet that we had to pleat in with wars and everything. doesn't unseat governments but it does open consciences and hearts it goes. the more. we must stand up is. begin to say that we should. do. the time has come for us to remember our values to put right all our wrongs to

celebrate our humanity and truly live the belief that each of us. the same parson as all of us. were. only pseudo if you use only one hand nothing happens but with thousands of hands things will change. why did i protest i know people are scrounging for work without any freedom they are repressed and arrested by the government told me i'm up let me out of the family i. got there the military trucks smashed the gates and entered the monastery they beat up everyone and destroyed everything they tied up the monks and they kicked anyone who looked

up. or you know that even though they made the monks crawl to the trucks they beat them from behind until they vomited blood. regardless of our lives we protested we protest for freedom. it's obvious the what the regime is doing is very unjust getting students and monks in jail as political prisoners. monks were and continue to be tortured to. sit on military dictatorships never care about the people. they control and subjugate with fear of the law don't be i'm a teacher. at. last that was i. i.

i. i i i. i. as monks we don't take up arms did we don't start revolutions what do you hope they make of the political situation would not benefit from on revolution as you. we know now i would say that the protest wasn't successful because many were killed. but in the past no one knew that the dictator tortured and arrested people that we are but we know

these are you can. suffer from the revolution showed the world the cruelty of his regime of our you are not you need to know yes that is what all of this is one tangible victory. your government. the notion of what we do as people all around the world have huge consequences. to the extraordinary global mobilizations of february fifteenth two thousand and three when the world said no to war there were somewhere between twelve and fourteen million people in the streets that day all with the same slogan the world says no to vote in a hundred different languages it was an amazing outpouring was. the guinness book of world records said it was the largest outpouring of humanity on one issue in the

history of the world. and truth is later the new york times wrote there are once again two superpowers in the world the united states global public opinion that was huge we failed to stop the war. but it did mean that when the war happened no one could deny that it was illegal this wasn't a situation where the us had been able to bribe and threaten enough countries of the un that the un gave them permission. might be. the. next. bad thing. everyone playing own ego dives to such. great things a common goal. and so we're trying to realistically as possible present this world

as it could be so people can see what it's like. you start to work towards it. we have to push to make things actually up. your. the strike you have to. go sit in the box says if they don't do what you want if you do all the things to make it through the situation and the best outcome would be one. that needs to be different. and that should be because the. people. at the top of the. need to do is go back to take our lead not from a political party or politician. but take our leave some people struggle crossflow

who have the audacity to say no. we must raise our voice says so with the only thing left is to fight to fight to fight . cut. please. please.
