discord not only in syria but you know it's spilling into iraq it's blowing into jordan and of course it's spilling over here into lebanon and. so they've made it very clear over the past several months that the once the assad regime to topple that they're willing to do anything that they can to make it happen whether it's bullying diplomatic arenas or whether it's funding the militant groups in syria and unfortunately the biggest losers of this are the syrian people. still to come on the program the academics questioning the right to life two professors come under fire in the u.k. for advocating the use of what they call off the birth abortions. threats and counter threats fly over iran's nuclear program as israel's intelligence service admits to iran hasn't decided to develop atomic weapons. storage company but first egypt has unveiled the line up of a lot of weighted government panel tasked with creating

a more democratic and inclusive constitution but already human rights groups are unhappy claiming islamic factions have banded together in order to dictate just who gets to write the document and just a year since the revolution hopes for change of all but evaporated and in english guy has this report. how dilema could be posed to boys for egypt's revolution young educated a t.v. talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on two square toppled the regime of president mubarak last year but like many others who were on the streets with him he doesn't feel things in egypt have changed for the best. and against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and just a little scarcer they were programmed illusion their actions sure they are applying the same techniques used by. the ruling military council kath replaced hosni mubarak who magicians accused of corruption and nepotism economic mismanagement and

human rights abuse but a thorough look at scouts policies until the situation eerily similar if not worse now you get protests that are suspended with live ammunition instead of rubber bullets as was the case of course you get legal strikers will get referred to militants other than the courts in the polls here you have more than thirteen thousand in gyptian citizens who got processed. military bloggers swear you more them what do you have this thirty years over the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before their revolution are now considered dunseath even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives you can't find the police in the street and even if they are there they don't really help and you know it's like a kind of they are punishing the people because they have done the revolution so they're not doing their or their work they don't care about what happens and the

deliberately neglecting. every single crime that is happening and they just did choose to turn their back and some believe revolutionary parties to say turned their backs on the military council questionable policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. and sarah palin of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and started making deals and form evolutions was given more ground and ignore them in demands of the revolution most of the political elite. are looking at fixing things not changing that. a real possibility now is the revolution entering a second stage this time prompted not just by the young and the educated but by the poor and the unemployed whose numbers have been steadily rising since the military council came to power the economic situation is really getting worse and i believe that these people who are really suffering nowadays because they can't even. they

can't afford to work to feed their families and these people are afraid they're going to lead this guy and this this this new wave of revolution if you can what you want to call that like a second wave of an illusion but it's going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days it's out here square is filled with vendors to the nearest sellers idle youth and if you would sales but from time to time things get heated up again those who have spent their days and nights here just a little over a year ago when the bark regime say their job is far from over and the revolution continues in those courts here cairo. cross the professor of political science at holden university has told me that the power grab we're now seeing in egypt is a sign of things to come the political parties political movements specially religious will try to dominate the political arena through the political system these are symptoms of what's going to happen again when there is

crushing occupy wall street has succeeded in shattering america's globally marketed brand of freedom but it's made people realize it's the kind of devastating states oh our ability to be in a place of dissent in america and how to challenge that it will help press that it and i think people they work for a year so the sense of greater until they tried it. in. because it is a criminal offense to exercise freedom of speech and events deemed nationally significant such as presidential conventions and to be. protesting in areas where the u.s. president or anyone protected by the secret service may be visiting is considered a felony punishable with hefty fines and up to ten years in jail the federal restricted buildings and grounds improvement act known as h r three four seven is a law most americans don't know about but you don't have to do

a lot to feel its force we represent people who are charged with felony offenses soley because they put up posters they put up signs asking people to join in demonstrations and they've been arrested by the police detained held on twenty five thousand dollars bail in charge of felons with nato and protest posters popping up nationwide u.s. lawmakers are tightening up recent active men's include prohibiting protests around the white house and broader language to make arrests and prosecution easier i think at this is a specific response to sort of the fear that we are actually going to have and you know like. transforming that sort of landscape katie davison was arrested twice last year while taking paul in legal nonviolent occupy wall street demos in new york i feel like we're in the beginning that we're hearing here we sort of like sprinkled democratic you know like words all over everything as if you know like we

london as well to willfully misinterpret intelligence to slant towards a spin to use the term that's become used recently to spin intelligence in a direction that forces people on the path to war we saw it in iraq where they were they were they were absolutely disastrous consequences from intelligence the intelligence process being abused and i think we're seeing it now here in iran the culmination of a one term effort by iran's ernie's to force the iranian government into a corner to force them into a position where they're left with an invidious towards having to steer a course between on the one hand seeming to be bullied and giving in and appearing weak and on the other hand alone themselves to be provoked and allowing themselves to be forced into a confrontational position. two professors have created a public storm in the u.k. of an article advocating the use of so-called off the birth abortions they say it's

merely an academic discussion with the medical journal which publishes the article defending the debate over some of the idea is a step too far as i tease a lot easier by the bennett's reports. actually through course was eight months pregnant when she found out her son would be born with down syndrome even as late as that the only advice she got was to have an abortion doctors tried to persuade her sam's condition would be a struggle not worth living but six years on the only struggle mother and child have heard was ignoring that advice i could start all over again and i was choosing not stay and i was treated as something that has something prepared at manatee actually i was treated as if i was just stupid say. it is very sad to think that they are the people who are giving advice their mothers they have a duty to everyone a taken an eight to preserve life and they don't

a lot of them might i fail date field our children aware because they're big they're not worth saving and that we're happy and that really is the case that stereotypes just been taken a whole lot further by two ethicists who argue that it's ok to kill babies even after they're born the controversial comments were published by the oxford educated professors in a leading british medical journal they dismiss newborns as potential and not actual persons they say killing them so no different to a normal prenatal abortion but critics branded infanticide it was a speculative case and this article has been defended on the grounds of free speech but would we accept for example an article advocating that jews or blacks were not persons only potential persons and they could also be killed sort of asked the question is a newborn child any less of equal member of the human family than

prompted outrage not only amongst pro-life groups but also mothers of children with disabilities who declined the option of abortion it was a hit because it was horrible to be a trend now it to say it. in a piece children shouldn't be it's not something terrible it's not awful just because it's not what you imagined doesn't mean it's not something i've had to stick with having sam in our life it's amazing absolutely amazing sam's a member of his local swimming club and plays football to seeing him here it's hard to believe how doctors could say his life would be a burden either bennett's artsy london. what are some other stories making international headlines now french presidential candidates have suspended their campaigning following a shooting outside a jewish school in clues the male suspect shot dead four people three of them children early monday the government fled the scene of the scooter just days ago
