and then i do with monks were and continue to be tortured and. sit on us military dictatorships never care about the people you do it to us and. though they control and subjugate with fear the look don't be on a teacher. laugh. that was. last. seen.

as monks we don't take up arms did the nick that we don't start and revolutions it would oh yeah i know no more hope then we got the political situation would not benefit from armed revolution. i would say that the protest wasn't successful because many were killed. but within the past no one knew that the dictator tortured bait and arrested people need upolu moment we are but we know these of them are you can lead you. to the our son from the revolution showed the world the cruelty of his regime of our you need to know yes that is what all of this is one tangible victory of. your government.

tear gas and stun grenades supposedly the work of a reformed police force but one year on since the first anti-government protests will crushed in bahrain it seems not much has changed the only difference now the crackdown has been planned i want to britain's former top cops john yates used to be assistant commissioner of london's metropolitan police he now works for bahrain's monarchy which says he is there to oversee police reform the police have borrowed or behaving despicably their latest trick is to throw cans of tear gas into homes of people they don't like shut the doors and people have died choking to death tear gas or use out of doors and i think for any british police officer or overstimulate is retired to be associated in any way with that is this is wrong yes resign from scotland yard last year in early victim of the phone hacking scandal he

popped up in bahrain in december as part of the regime's p.r. campaign to clean up its image a campaign pushed hard it seems by yeats himself he recently told the daily telegraph his new charges had a well rehearsed plan for the anniversary of the uprising adding the concept of reasonable reaction to provocation has been reinforced. as for the uprising itself said this isn't organized protests it's just vandalism rioting on the streets claims hotly disputed by london's bahraini community i mean when you get thousands and thousands of people protesting demanding their rights. you seem to forget that there are sixty five or sixty five people actually died from police brutality activists in bahrain insists their protest was peaceful their aim to reach the iconic pole roundabout in the capital manama they say they were met by tanks toxic

make america the most attractive place in the world to do business and menacing and vilifying china are typical for political campaigns in america these days like these. bad time until they get warm and go after death through our force to do it and that is how our great empire rose again. it's not too late to stop this nightmare it's on r.g.p. even children still made in china in short anything any kid knows we do the chinese are going to get. there's still a billion of them in the economy is getting there with it this is it take note if they're going to be get in there and make it. with china being the biggest foreign creditor for the us the economic interdependency between the two is raising red flags in the minds of many americans china can very easily just bankrupt america overnight all they've got to do is just dump dollars and trade stories switch to

euros radio the current that's him of america except experts agree china would never do that because beijing is just as interested in preserving the value of their u.s. treasury holdings as well as the rich market for their manufactured goods but this it could all make interdependency becomes a headache for washington when china demonstrates policies independent from america's will and the white house has to stifle this content. and for one smiles china blocking the u.s. backed resolution on syria is one example russia came under fire from washington for opposing forceful regime change in syria while the u.s. criticism for china was far more muted for taking the same position but the reality is that china the west have to treat with much more with kid gloves because of the integral relationship in terms of the way that the chinese economy now is so

totally woven in with the western one neither country is capable of dominating the other and that the country is going to win a cold war type situation as china's influence grows president obama has pledged to strengthen u.s. positions in the pacific going as far as the blowing extra troops to the region this is made some wonder whether the u.s. can reconcile with the situation when it's not dominating. announced disappeared at the pentagon by the way the pivoting from the middle east to asia this means more u.s. interference is cellcept in the sauce china sea military station the starting in norse in australia but maybe in contacts with shelly beans singapore and thailand specially very close allies of the us here in southeast asia so the chinese they look at this in a big circle washington's treatment of this or that country depends on its interest there is nothing surprising about that but it seems with all you know america may

find itself hostage to those employees in a situation where you cannot simply dictate its policies in the meantime beijing's economic clout is growing feeling americans fear i'm going to check our reporting from washington our. lady of the interim government has promised to compensate the families of rebel fighters missing or killed in the uprising against moammar gadhafi and they'll receive around one thousand five hundred dollars each and unemployed former rebels will be paid to its part of the authorities struggle to. impose order as the country celebrates a year since the revolution began hundreds of armed militias are roaming the country and the ruling national transitional council appears unable to control them but there's also evidence of the torture and abuse of the remaining khadafi supporters leaders leaders say they are willing to integrate the militias into the security services by jim brann from stop the war coalition believes for now those are just empty words. we try to the national transitional council that

was the body that was particularly backed by night during some months of bombing when he said in. almost as a new message. he said that if you face the prospect of either violent suppression of the militias or i think civil war and break up you prepare and off. the cuff you know that to have their. voice comes across nothing then you're supposed to get that militias into. the supposed national supposed national police force and just by the very limited newspaper reports from what i can see that very very few people know that you have this creation of a federation of the western militias a few days ago one hundred militias in western libya and that really does seem to be a step on the road to the breakup maybe in tunis to west and east of. greece
