violence by persuading the warring sides to speak to each other is also said that he believes that a solution to the country's long running crisis lies in a political settlement just hopes are fading already that this mission will succeed the leader of the syrian national council of turkey based opposition groups recognized by e.u. as a legitimate the present to the syrian people has said that anons comments and his idea to find their way out of crisis through dialogue are disappointing while syrian people he's been massacred every day here in the country but hunger has also said that any political solution will only work in syria if it's a company by military pressure on the regime of bashar al assad calls to give more weapons to the rebels and to provide them with any help they need have become especially loud after the rebels withdraw from the baba amr neighborhood in hopes part of the conflict following the army's operation there saudi arabia and carter

have been among the most active supporters of the militarization of the conflict in syria calling the idea to on the rebels an excellent one who recently heard a lot about foreign weapons is tearin syrian foreign volunteers and security officers captured in hopes following claims by the free syrian army that it's already received weapons and anti aircraft missiles from the worst meanwhile kofi annan has been warning that further militarization would only make things worse expressing his hopeless no one is very seriously thinking of using force in this situation but it seems that some are considering this as an option to gas former presidential candidates and senator john mccain has called on air strikes on syria to save innocent lives in the country although official washington d. drew out military intervention as an option the u.n. estimates that around seven thousand people have been killed in the clashes between the two. and your position here in syria the clashes that's been lost and for you know already the opposition activists have been saying all the time but the regime

of bashar al assad has been suppressing syrian people civilians innocent people while officially damascus has always been insisting that it's spice and against armed terrorist groups operating in the country this is expected of coffee and then we'll spend two days here in syria will meet president bashar al assad and some members of the syrian opposition within the country it's not yet clear whether he will travel outside damascus security forces on high alert fearing any provocations and terror attacks refinishing reporting there from syria now one months after washington side of where the rebels senior u.s. intelligence officials have acknowledged the can say with confidence that the opposition represents a majority of the syrian people lawrence davidson professor of middle east history at west chester university says some of president assad's opponents reject talks because their position is steadily weakening. well perhaps they have talked to the

this saudis and the americans and the brits and and they've come to the conclusion that these these groups will continue to back them and therefore they'll just bide their time they're in a very weak position. they're out of the country their numbers of armed men under their command are limited they cannot win against the government militarily win against the government. the government is tempting them to co-opt the moderate to moderate protestors with you know promises of widespread forms which if implemented would go a long way to satisfy even bigger regional demands of the opposition if implemented so the armed groups now really. don't have a position i mean i don't think they are backed by the majority of the people in

syria even the protests. but i'm commission looking into last year's lady of conflict has found both forces loyal to the lately a metre long opposition fighters committed war crimes and also we're going to have more investigation into nato air campaign which killed and wounded dozens probably name a strong u.s. based foreign policy group believes foreign powers should have been held accountable long ago. in all these conflicts we have a pattern of a kind of victor's justice the in examining the war crimes on all sides of the conflict should include not just a libyan sides of the conflict but also foreign sides of the conflict nato has never been held to account for the deaths of civilians in air strikes in libya and that. many people say this weapon in a military intervention is dangerous among other things to kill civilians it could lead to a break up we're going to go no no we're told no that could never happen there

would never be a breakup of the country well you know no no what we see and that you know the army . the arming of the external our new army that conflict has helped bring us to this point. coming up where the sour the uprising hailed as a win of democracy turns into a grab for power at any cost and care you see violence has become an integral part of the democratic process with politicians exploiting ethnic divisions to achieve their goals. and we report on palestinian children learning their first lessons in why thanks to long and hard daily journey just school. us president obama's quest for diplomacy with iran over its nuclear program has failed to quell talks of a pending military confrontation statements from america's top defense official suggest a strike on iran is in the planning stage and could use a type of bomb that has never been seen before at its heart is necessary to get

reports the u.s. has a strong record of persuading the public that war is the way. water for a fish are a popular pet among us war veterans like math is sure something the nerves of some of the roughly one hundred seventy thousand american soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder the u.s. army frag has one hundred eighty three campaign ribbons on those one hundred eighty three ribbons each represent wars when you compare that to the way the two hundred thirty six years that we've actually been around as a country you're talking about you know a war on average once every year and three months serving americans are on permanent standby to deploy to carry out warfare on command as the u.s. has a bone to pick one enemy after the other from the soviet union and the choppiness threat was the most useful enemy where we are legitimate and we are completely

fantastical it was always a bailable as to be able conspiracy against which to justify anything smaller interrogators after the cold war the list keeps expanding allied air forces began an attack on military targets in iraq in kuwait airstrikes against serbian forces our war on terror. begins when i try can select a target some military importance undermined saddam hussein's of the way to wage a war we should get out these air defenses with a defense budget that surpasses the military expenditure of all other countries combined. no other nation drones up war as consistently as america and while people are still responding in recovering from the violence that's going in one place or even in the same place we're launching new operations in and out more atrocities in different parts of the world the military industrial complex worth billions of dollars is largely america's driving force. deeply rooted in the system it would

serve no purpose if there was no one to fight if there were no war enemies last there would be rushed. a sense of mission frightening thought to many as this would reveal the economic social and cultural emptiness at home up here above a country when there are no enemies who try to put together the evil empire again do in syria what we're doing now in libya we've got to overthrow this guy the threat that iran poses us year in and year out for americans are convinced that the u.s. has to remain on the defense or petrified of death by terrorism so should i don't think i think a lot of americans wish we spent more money on war finding the next target is never difficult we're invented in the nation of iran as an enemy as a threat to the united states says it is sister of nuclear weapons it does not exist nation that has not attacked another in literally centuries and has no

capability or desire to attack ours maybe the west might throw the word around iran is the word iran it should be iran the us has been picking and choosing which countries to intervene in for centuries as the list of nations that america loves to hate expands the concept that no war or is also an option seems to have been for about a decisive churkin artsy. yes conference waged across the world have left a trail of military bases in their wake often not even the countries involved in the fighting now look at the role of the global web of bases and how they affect host nations special documentary coming up on our team later today. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of the earth. and the shadow is a protein of. the early twenty first century military bases that many military bases all. forms believe him

that the united states is trying to believe it's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around. we don't have a broad basis of america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean bases we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in our bases of odd. noises around with nor to those aboard to us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these few. sixty into world war two the spaces have been. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. because

they can of the situation i think because these folks are the ones that actually have money to gain or to lose and so they're going to make decisions based. on what's going to be best for their financial future they're not looking at it politically the european leaders are trying to put a political spin on this but what you have in the end is it for the taking of assets that are worthless and you have a sum full by tending that these assets mean something that these assets really are valuable when in fact they're not and then they try to monetize the whole thing and then pretend as though they've solved a problem they've solved nothing they've actually made it worse because they won't admit what is going wrong. and now a callous next practice says there are still a lot of questions greece needs to deal with aside from the debt swap deal. because a lot of moving parts but the vehicle is the first stop then we have structural reforms which frankly have been made forty years ahead of private size i should

a right or a personal decision our resident is on the streets of new york here in the opinions of people there. do you believe contraception coverage should be mandated by a government this week let's talk about that. contraception is. something that. kids from murdering unborn or unwanted unwanted pregnancies two days prevent ok should that be covered to oh that's a good question i don't think those are the same category why what's the difference between. the diet that's more of a health concern in terms of your own nutritional. you're in your own personal nutrition right and so what's the difference of contraception it's your own lifestyle choice to have unprotected sex some people are others and i do believe in

the separation of a state and religion so you think it's a religious issue only no i think it's a women's right issue as well but i don't think you can have a government mandate that providing something that somebody may not believe in so i do believe there is a separation i think it's women's rights i mean i think that the government should subsidize these kind of birth control to women but is it women's right or women's choice because there are other ways to not get pregnant yet but they are gross also included and the government is paying for it i'm still stuck on government mandated i do believe that birth control should be available to us we're paying high for these insurance. and for insurance premiums and a vat is the kind of health care that i need i think it should be available to me whether a government has to mandate that or not i don't know the bottom line is any kind of pharmaceutical contraception is an actual lifestyle choice so let's just hope any

government considers that before treating contraception as a health care concern. either a liar or a tough sorious is only a few minutes away so stay with us for that if you can. the.
