and i go again that education cuts and in defiance of having heard the police tactics in. lots more u.s. officers a code in afghanistan during a fifth day of violence and protest at the burning of the koran in the american military base. and a very warm welcome from all of us here in moscow this is us here with me here thanks for joining us fast as the violence and see where rages on seventy countries led by the usa uniting their efforts against damascus by agreeing to step up sanctions the so-called friends of syria group also shunned supporters of their side regime who weren't invited to the meeting in tunisia that's one of the reasons russia refused to tell saying it cannot support a one sided approach to the crisis most who wants a peace deal that involves both damascus and the opposition with no foreign

pressure applied fighting between rebel forces and government troops is escalating with dozens reported killed on saturday ahead of a breakthrough paul in the country very few notion is there for us preparations for national referendum are in full swing here in damascus on sunday people are expected to vote on the country's new constitution posters and banners calling on them to come and cast ballots are really where here in the capital and as far as the information minister has said for the first time it only invites people to come and vote without urging them to vote in a particular way the draft of the proposed constitution has been made public days before the referendum itself they have been many public debates on that open for everybody they've been debates on t.v. and internet as well and hundreds of copies of the new constitution have been distributed among people to let them know what are the changes actually. do document it includes a fourteen forty seven amended articles. and one of the main changes is in the

article number eight it actually ends and almost almost fifty year long single party rule here in syria proclaiming that now political system here in the country is based on pluralism and multi-party system is promoted the article number eighty eight is also very important is that the president of the country could only be elected for two seven hear terms but in another article it's emphasize that it will only come into force after the next elections for the had of the countries set schedule for two thousand and fourteen it's managed to meet the majority of democratic demands of the people of syria the opposition has already called to vote could they vote to go on strike violence has continued in the country in clashes between the opposition and the authorities still taking place in several parts across the country here in damascus but we've been hearing several warnings not to

go to polling stations because they think we should be explosions and bombings and terror attacks there the interior minister has said that fourteen thousand polling stations have been set up for this referendum and about fifteen million people have the right to come and vote but it's very hard right now to predict how many will actually come and among the reaction after he's been hearing is that a western powers don't want a diplomatic solution to syria because assad crossed them determined to see him out of office full of the worst now is not about a negotiated settlement it's not reaching progress the reforms that were being talked about it's about regime change because from the point of view of the worst. has been nothing to do with human rights and nothing to do with reform between to do with pursuing a line that is independent of the law in the. is it to be imposed on the entire

middle east if it was a boat human rights on reforms then people would be interested in engaging and because it's quite clear from everybody that there's been violence of violent situation in do you look at traditional civil war if you're sincere about wanting to avoid a potential civil war then you wouldn't go into action you do have one potential side in that civil war as an alternative government in exile and in effect incite a push towards for regime change even by voyage you respond to the diplomatic signals that are coming or going to try to pursue a peaceful solution it's quite obvious that washington and london or at present not interested in that negotiated solution. and of course also virally your opinion you're invited to cast your vote on our website and home where we're asking you to thing the constitutional referendum will mean for syria at the moment the majority of you are saying that it will hardly change just playing the west intends to

interfere anyway twenty percent of you believe nothing will come of it syrians have lost faith in their government another six percent say it all just provoke more violence and the rest are sure it will mean this start of real political reform those are the results for now but you can change them by sharing your thoughts on our website. and also on our website for you they overshadow the inauguration as a carbon tax hike on the presidential palace in southern yemen leaves dozens dead just hours after the country's new leader was sworn in. questions remain over iran's nuclear program after your own atomic officials said to iran has failed to corporate with them many countries suspect iran is. building

an atomic bomb but iran insists it's only seeking a peaceful editor supply the u.s. and its allies have been imposing tough economic sanctions while eight zero has even threatened the military action against iran's nuclear sites but it's being reported that america's intelligence community has doubts about the allegations and reza marashi from the national brain american council and the u.s. state department officer told us iran hasn't made the decision to build nuclear weapons but they west should offer positive thinking it's meant schoolies may change its mind. american intelligence agencies and for that matter the israeli intelligence agencies and many other foreign governments intelligence agencies are saying that iran has not made the political decision to pursue weaponization and that's a very important distinction it doesn't mean that the iranian government's nuclear program isn't a cause for concern but it absolute means that they have made the most troubling decision and that leaves time for diplomacy to be pursued to find a peaceful solution that's beneficial to all parties involved the primary sticking

point the primary truck problem that we see is that nobody trusts one another people in the people plus one don't trust each other iran doesn't trust anybody in the p five plus one so enough to try and move things forward and shift that paradigm from the negative to the positive you know we need to get creative and international leaders need to find ways to take risks for peace anything from broadening the agenda to discussion issues not just focus on iran's nuclear program but things that iran is also interested in regional security energy security things of that nature just of bringing in some outside actors through the p five plus one and iran to have trust within turkey and brazil being to keep samples of the parties that could play that kind of mediating role if positive inducements are not offered to iran and if the west doesn't seriously consider whether or not offering those positive inducements to iran are in america's interest europe's interests i'm negotiating will fail because iran will not like. thousand students in spain have

moscow will not bow to western pressure the premier said the kremlin will plough on to seek a balanced solution involving all sides in syria and it's not the only other which russia is prepared to lock horns with the u.s.'s peter on of explaining. he was really addressing his standpoint on key foreign policy issues of course that election for president is coming up in just over a week's time and he was saying basically where he stands now with regards to syria he said that russia would not play along with anybody that they wouldn't just follow along with the herd when it came to opinion on the ongoing crisis in syria but it wasn't the only issue the lot of me it was addressing for a little while now the major fly in the argument between relations between moscow and washington has been the united states proposed missile defense shield in eastern europe no vladimir putin very strong words for him from the prime minister here saying that the united states needs to realize that russia had the strength that the united states should be looking for

a more constructive approach to finding a solution to the current impasse will iran was also on the lips of the prime minister vladimir putin saying that the allegations that iran was development nuclear weapons was being you. as an excuse to try and initiate regime change in the country. russia's relationship with iran was different from other countries so this is really just over a week before the elections now got to be approved outlying his stance on foreign policy issues. to u.s. military officers have been shot that they gonna stand interior ministry in kabul and that if there's a day of nationwide anti-american protests nature is ordering all its personnel to leave afghan ministries devoid father tykes dozens of people have been killed and wounded in clashes during the week which were sparked when copies of the koran were discovered at a us air base washington admitted a mistake had been made to work but the white house and nato officials apologizing

adult learning center with follower educational standards she still wants to get a university degree but if she succeeds she'll be an exception. i personally know many girls who are muslims like myself and who faced with the ban on head cover just had to quit schools altogether and now stay at home here for our school doesn't require students to wear uniforms in fact are hot says none of her classmates was ever reprimanded for wearing short skirts a low cut tops the school officials are doing their best to draw a veil over this controversy they refused to comment saying only that they have to abide by the school dress code which bans students from covering their had so wearing any other religious symbols while in class this case is quite common for kyrgyzstan a former soviet republic in central asia that over the past decade has witnessed a dramatic rise of the more conservative islam the country of five and

a half million people already has around two thousand mosques and the state has little control or even understanding of what is being preached in them. up to eighty percent of new mosques were built through some sort of partnership with arab countries mainly cellier arabia or qatar and they provide more than money but over the exploit their ideology here we already have politicians calling for the creation of caliphate devoted herself that she's a part of something is this rapid change of. and religious norms that worries many of the country's liberals in were not really bribery teachers social scientists kristen's most prestigious university. she says she was a strong supporter of religious freedom until she visited her home village last year. and then they say when i lived there we didn't have a mosque now there are three all built by foreign jonas as i was walking past one of the mosques and i saw three young women all covered in black hoodie i wanted to

come up to them and say look around you can do so much with your life of which i held myself back because who might tell them anything a minute later they came up to me and started saying seester don't turn away from him and that moment i understood that my country has changed it's now a country where i can't tell anyone how to live their life but muslims feel they can vigil of what we're not of fear is that if muslims and kurdistan are given full really just freedom it would be just a matter of time before other basic rights are done away with the still just as she would rather have all sorts of had to wear in her classroom than the risk students have been filled by the wrong lessons elsewhere it's not going to artsy kurdistan. the world's the biggest ever dirts war was underway as greece scrambles to get as desperate finances back on track buying some of the bondholders will lose out to the tune of the cleanest one hundred billion euros article as the view from the

street now to ask how deeply we should do to save the nation and its up trouble. greece is getting another bailout one hundred and thirty billion euros is that a good idea this week let's talk about that do you know what's going on in greece right now or do you no idea you've got the rule. do you think a lot of people know what's going on in greece no great. you know iowa got more g.o.p. then than greece they both sowed so what's greece is going to do to us whether they bail or are there save that money matter to foreign is the third largest. g.d.b. in the world let me go to greece they only got good greek all of i'm from germany and we have a strong. and the greens have a weak you all and so we should help. you ok with that you don't feel like there

should be responsible for themselves they should be let's. hope that if it was coming directly out of your pocket would you still be in support of the bailout no no doubt in my book. so as long as that other european countries are ok with it but simply stay out i mean they will tell you to have enough time as it is without having to bail out another country say i think we have to start to think globally and we all have to billets other out and try to get the same back on track so that means shouldering other people's responsibilities are you ok with that. yes and no you know part of me says you know i work hard i do what i'm supposed to do i've done how my parents raised me and work hard pay my taxes all those things but if that goes then that affects me and affects my children too so sometimes not to quote hillary clinton but i guess it does take a village to bailout with the u.s. car industry sort of had an ok ending and i was skeptical about that so i don't

know i don't think i'm quick to really say actually that's a good example though because you hear bailout and it sounds like you're getting something for nothing but it's an example of one that worked so maybe this will work yeah whether it's a stepping in a european union or whether it's going to be someplace in asia steps in public china china will invest in them so is that a good thing i mean now that we're all globally tied to it and we see these kinds of situations arise as the global economy and good. regression it was a natural progression it's not as if it would stop it when you have free trade we would i mean it's going to happen this way you have more interdependent countries at this point whether or not people even know what's going on with the greece bailout the bottom line is it's happening let's see if this one will make it different. after a wave or heart attacks to come out several of us such

a website's officials have been quick to point out there's a new terror a battle front and that is the internet they want from day to expose the hose that the threats being blurred out of proportion by those making big bucks by playing on people's digital distress they say confident has a story. it may seem like a quiet day in america. it's the scene of a raging battle invisible to the naked eye but there is war underway right now on the internet this is cyber war is the u.s. ready for a full scale cyber war a question asked at the highest levels of the u.s. government by fears of a new type of w m d a weapon of mass disruption in a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the f.b.i. warns that those keystrokes could soon be more dangerous to america than terrorism itself the cyber threat well equal or surpass the threat from counterterrorism and

the forseeable future a future that's got the world's military superpower preparing for the fight ahead if the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system certainly our grid cyber war cyber pearl harbor frightening language for a hypothetical scenario one that could happen but hasn't yet and some security experts like jim harper warned that it never will no chance whatsoever that nuclear power. we'll be hacked that electric infrastructure will be hacked and taken down for any significant period of time so the worst we can expect is disruption that's not war it doesn't really terrorize so the threats are serious but they're not to the level of war or terror yet some of the key leaders in the war on terror are now in the business of cyber war michael chaired off once ran the department of homeland security and he now runs a cyber security consulting firm you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in

terms of loss of life as things were to prepare yourselves here with more frightened once america's top spy chief mike mcconnell now oversees cyber operations for a defense contracting giant where the most volatile nation on earth to a cyber attack and anti-terrorism czar richard clarke went from advising presidents on cyber security to publishing books about the coming cyber war for once it would be nice for the united states to be able to get out in front of a catastrophe to be able to prevent that catastrophe we know how to do it we just need to spend the money and the money is flowing the u.s. government will spend more than ten billion a year on cyber security by two thousand and fifteen you know worldwide market that's estimated at eighty to one hundred forty billion dollars a year the budget that we're releasing today it's one of the few areas where the white house plans to increase spending despite other defense cuts and that some say

is the problem it's going to be even more tempting for folks in the you know the defense contracting community for example to hype cyber threats because that's one of the used time that money you know sort of still exists forbes magazine contributor shawn lawson is an expert in cybersecurity it's a classic case of an attempt to sort of motivate a response by rally the troops by appealing to fear uncertainty and inside the beltway. fear and uncertainty can lead to big business and big bucks most people don't understand the problems with computer and data security most people in washington don't understand it specifically most people in congress don't understand therefore the quote unquote beltway bandits are in a position to create the problem to state the problem and offer their own services as a solution. a battle does reach here invisible to the naked eye a war for money contracts and power to. washington.
