. one of the reasons the violence has continued is that the united states is covertly financing the opposition to bashar assad's government the united states is providing tactical assistance for training military operations it's being done outside of the country just across the border however as long as as washington continues to feed this conflict it will go on but the message needs to start with washington washington has got to stop interfering in syria the united states must announce that it will stop supporting the rebels in syria and they will stop feeding this conflict both sides together must reach a cease fire it requires both action from both sides. well meanwhile from the syrian being felt across the border in lebanon those are. the visions they're

from. across the street in a hospital run by a sunni charity attitudes are strikingly different most of the patients here are young men from their homes province and some like muhammad don't hide their affiliation of a different syrian army he stayed on who is responsible for the bloodshed is not hard to guess. i have a warning for the russian people that if they don't change this will cut all ties with them once the revolution reaches its victory would you still have time to make the right choice on the hospital's administrator shows are some of about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime amount to crimes against humanity but when i ask him whether the above allusion is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian we have many destruction and now we have more

hundreds of israelis rallying the country's economic capital against not but it seems the government's don't want war in iraq. french police this week shot dead the gunman in toulouse who killed seven people including four at a jewish school and three soldiers who was killed after a thirty two hour siege of his apartment he refused to surrender and try to escape through a window of french intelligence has been criticised for not acting the area but as a man who had been on the surveillance for some time was a frenchman of a jury in the senate said he had ties to al qaeda and underwent training for afghanistan his brother who said he was proud of his actions he's been charged as a terror accomplice journalist around the sounds nine months he hasn't been accepted into society could end up being a threat to security. this is been a problem here part of the present there as well stories that have been concerned
4:08 am
for more than a decade now and watching this problem for more than a decade and watching it grow and there are probably now probably hundreds of young men mostly women also in france. back on the lot of them but who are french citizens who may have been to afghanistan and pakistan and who may hold similar beliefs and presidents are closely i have no idea what he's going to do right now is not an enormous problem what to do is east who is the strong feeling among a young french again of my breadwinner or a muslim background who don't feel part of france you don't feel part of the country and you have just same problem of course throughout europe to live in in england in spain. where you have similar kinds of young people who are in
4:09 am
serious economic difficulties a lot of them with the economy in very bad shape throughout the continent and a lot of the living in slums how do you deal with this problem. one teenager dead and sixty eight others injured the aftermath of another riot in egypt between the military and football fans and raged over the suspension of the club for two years it all happened in this a clear sign of how angry crowds were not streets with only tires on the miniature warning shots. the suspension itself was right in the last. seventy four. police officers are standing trial for that any objections and laying them for complicity with rampaging mobs lawrence davidson and so forth and street westchester this city says the country's truly on the brink. each year has no standing law and order actually. that state things are such that i
4:10 am
keep the government is not in control the ar e. is. not going to come out of its barracks. contro to. very very large way and so the populace is essentially on its own and that means that unpopular decisions are made you're going to get this sort of spontaneous kind of outburst of anger and there is no can i sleep control it nowhere is there any capacity to actually prevent the reasons for going there is no central control in egypt now. oh egypt has unveiled a line up the lower rated government panel tossed with creating a multi democratic inclusive constitution so subject to confirmation this does dominated by islamists something more liberal groups have warned against just over
4:11 am
a year since the revolution the fear is that what all that much has changed. khalid telling me i could be poster boy for egypt's revolution young educated a t.v. talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on a new square topple 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. we were against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and justice a lot of scare so they were program lucian their actions sure they are applying the simply meeks used by him. the ruling military council or staff replaced hosni mubarak who gyptian is accused of corruption and nepotism economic mismanagement and human rights abuse but a thorough look at scarce policies unveiled the situation eerily similar if not worse well you get proper stuff not suspended with live ammunition in
4:12 am
a sort of rubber bullets as was that is on the course you get labeled strikers who get referred to belittle buglers other than what it accords in the last year you have more than thirteen thousand egyptian citizens who are processed all believe it if you want to it's that's where you more than one of the during this thirty years of wood the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before the revolution are now considered an see even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives you can 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 the are the of the revolution so they're not going there and there are other work you don't care about what happens and the deliberately neglecting their every single crime that is happening and they
4:13 am
just didn't choose to turn their back and some believe revolutionary parties choose to turn their backs on the military council's questionable policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. and so her a lot of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and sorely congeals in forth all listens which give them more ground and ignore them in demands of the revolution most of the political elite and rouge in areas are looking at fixing things not changing them. 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 and the situation is really getting worse and i believe that these people who are really suffering nowadays because they can't even. afford to work to feed there and there are there are families these people aren't really there and they leave the sky and there's no wave of revolution if you can what you
4:14 am
want to call it like a second wave of what is going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days that are three squares filled with vendors there in your cellars i don't know you and a few tents 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 topping the barack regime say their job is far from over and the revolution continues to go starts here cairo but coming up for you at r.t. the secret files keeping some construction workers in the u.k. out of a job the tales of an informant blacklisted goes on the way to the top of the police . who rushed for justice the lawyers were in for a long court battle very very consoled rick pluta executing seventeen afghan forces begin to fuse together evidence from bloody rampage. hundreds of people have rallied in television to protest what they see as
4:15 am
a frenzied drive for war against iran are their own government campaigners fear the mounting pressure could escalate into all out conflict effects of which would be disastrous a correspondent on the train the protests unfold. this is been a demonstration of its kind and it comes after months of increasing war with pick by the israeli leadership what protesters here are saying is that israeli prime minister has his own election campaign at heart and that is what is motivating him because the polls on this big way to include his book you love if you are the one in the news sincerely believing that he is the. point man can. destroy the iranian nuclear program yes made himself doubly crazy in this direction and recent poll suggested that some fifty eight percent of israelis are against a military strike now to manson all of this demonstration began about a week ago when an israeli couple launched a campaign on line in which they posted messages of support and love for iranians
4:16 am
ordinary iranians responded with the only suggests if you look at facebook and other social network sites you seem to see just like it's raw nerves in iran we are not a war with the country any rein in saying we love this well we are not a lot with anyone demonstrated in talking to say that this call by the israeli leadership is irresponsible if only to large numbers of people being injured and hurt and it's not clear how or when any kind of military strike with iran will end but whether or not the israeli government will listen to the voice on the street remains to be seen policy r.t. tel aviv. use campaign against iran has intensified this week human rights not iran's nuclear activities to justify further economic sanctions says israel's own spy agency mossad and the cia iran is not developing nuclear weapons but. historian peter rushton says that won't stop those who are out for war. what we're
4:17 am
seeing at the moment has been is the culmination of a long term effort by ron zonen is to force the iranian government to work order to force them into a position where they're left with an invidious choice 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 diplomatic and intelligence professionals are having their reports having for wood abused for political and audiological reasons there's a political ideological agenda in washington and tel aviv to an extent here in london as well to willfully misinterpret intelligence to slant or to spin to use the term that's become used recently to spin intelligence in a direction that forces people on the path to war. bahrain has been caught up in

fresh violence this week as the regime rallies erupted into fierce clashes with police throughout the country rubber bullets and tear gas of used rallies in. towns clashes also broke out in the north of the country where mourners very human . rights groups was killed by tear gas the day before forces have been accused of killing scores of protesters arrested thousands since and the government of the last year. i missed. the violence and signed it. laid off minority group considers itself a minority religious group facing the majority of the population that are calling for democratic reform so it's frustrating at this fact there is now has been you since like last month saying that it's doing negotiations with that is that that is
4:19 am
the fallacy. it's not true it's not happening i mean there were some contacts but they were not true negotiations they're just saying this for propaganda in order to calm down the international pressure in fact i just want to remind that the regime called upon the saudi army to interfere and enter with weapons and guns to to to crush the demonstrators who are it happened to be that they are a majority of shia and the regime is a minority of sunnis but that is not the reason for the conflict or there is no conflict there are just people calling for the predicate for. now construction workers in the u.k. are speaking out after discovering piles of information were being kept on them without the knowledge well able to get jobs without knowing why. political activities were being wanted some cases being used against them. or smith. working for speaking the truth these trade unionists and whistle blowers are fighting back after years of wondering why they couldn't get
4:20 am
a job these skilled engineers now know their names were on an illegal blacklists. in two thousand and four former union organizer steve hadley was mysteriously sacked and for the next four years he wondered why he couldn't get another full time job then told him about a blacklist held by a private company and accessed by some of the u.k.'s biggest construction firms sure enough he uncovered a sixteen page pile on himself the cause and retail approach. what my political political activists were. these were part it was clearly. they were the employers were distributing this amongst themselves much of the information it had least style is clips probably left wing newspapers and union magazines but some comes from a different source altogether the police i was in there named as
4:21 am
a participant on another fascist demonstration no this information doesn't come from their employers could only have come from a place i mean we don't agree with the employers keep a blacklist it's an illegal thing but it opens up a whole new dimension when the security forces are going for the knesset it almost marks of a place that working on a building site one of the most dangerous jobs in the u.k. last year alone there were fifteen death certificates. it's an industry many of the band's workers say the reason they're on the blacklist is because they blew the whistle on poor health and safety standards so cut they say construction companies make to increase profit filed held by the now shut down consulting association so the police are complicit in companies exploiting workers and destroying anyone who stands up to the i believe it's the most senior levels employees colluding with
4:22 am
the directors of no national companies. because treasury is because we raise concerns around an open society and because of politics blacklisting devastates the law is that it's victims highly qualified people unable to use their skills steve hadley his marriage breakdown. your relationships and your income pay your bills anymore the company that held hadley's file has now been closed down but he and his colleagues believe there are more blackness that happen yet aidan covered they say they'll fight until they know the extensive state security involvement in their persecution nora smith. more reports while correspondents in britain got calm including filling controversy british government for hiking tax on petrol he says it's. short term gain but long

term pain. and japanese authorities in fukushima used to defeating e-mails. crucial to safely evacuating people from into the area of last years a great reveal all the details of. you evidence has emerged that the american soldier charged with one of the bloodiest massacres in decades. carried out his rampage in two parts. of. his units based at least once between a shooting spree and the lawyers representing the accused say there was nothing of it. as skeptical saying sales. must help the war vets are not for this. now just strong. i think the question there is of fear to whom if we look at the have
4:24 am
a sizzler of the massacres that have taken place in iraq and afghanistan a look at that had deep massacre in the source where blackwater guards massacred dozens of people and these cases of people got off with no deal and so one could argue that these were fair to the people that were indicted but they weren't simply thrown under the bus in a damp about they absolutely were not fair to the victims and their families and so for a staff sergeant bales whatever his trial is for it to be really fair to the afghan people most truly take their lives into consideration if you want to talk about here we have to talk about the fairness for the afghan people who are now mourning the loss of their family and the interesting thing is you know we hear the name suffered in bales quite a bit we're not really hearing the name but his victims are the children who are going to see their parents again of the people he killed in their beds in the middle of the night and so i say that fair trial should be fair for the afghan people who are the real thing. well look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour fourteen people have been arrested in two separate
