he was a wee. wee wanted to visit. some field. three thirty pm on sunday afternoon here in moscow a time for yachts and headlights now western and arab supporters of the syrian revolution a meeting in turkey to press the assad regime with some of the members pushing for further militarization of the conflict. like moment between leaders may. seize us republican hold swoop with the volley of and see russia. by moscow as quote cold war hollywood cliche. riots and protests

spread across spain as the government announces a massive cuts unparalleled since the dictatorship of general from. a series of protests and demonstrations that swept across the middle east and north africa last year went down in history as the arab spring and it's one season that will not be easily forgotten. back at the events that reshaped the world. he was fast asleep but his face was glowing from the inside i didn't kiss him there was something strange about the situation up until morning undisturbed and he left . and was around two o'clock on the super seventeen us and my cousin muhammad boars easy target she's goods to the marketplace. it was friday so she had to so it's all in two days in order to get

a return on the must. have movement going hammad worked a lot i needed money to buy a car so that he could sell his goods and transport them right at. the three security guards a few came away from the spot of the market up on the roof so he headed to their boss at the city council. but without even listening to him she turned him out of doors the. situation was unbearable for him because. he bought some gas muslim and set himself on fire in the market and that's the whole story. for the tragedy of sports hero lucian in tunisia and other countries it was the start of the arab spring.

unlike most of the population of the bustling city of current such a move but art can afford to stay in bed longer. the doors of his barbershop open at ten am. but often his first customers don't arrive those who knew. mubarak treasures these morning hours he's no relation to the post president but he spends his time checking up on the latest political news. politics is far more popular than football in egypt these days. i have a kind of this is been the best year of my life there is freedom in

a country and i can say anything i like to anyone we didn't have such freedom in the past but this freedom is free for all you don't need to pay for it there hasn't been a better time for me and my job since the revolution. seventy three dead and more than a hundred. includes. mourning over victories of. them very well. on the first of february two thousand and twelve the local team in the egyptian city of port saeed posted the football club from cairo after the match most fans attacked the stand where the cargo team supporters sat through it resulted in seventy dead and more than one hundred injured. only the lucky fans want is a fair investigation of. justice ah.

ah. up. two weeks after the tragedy in port saïd thousands of aleph the fans marched through the central streets of cairo. feel the aim of our march is to demonstrate to the authorities that so many people are demanding an inquiry into the bloodshed but we maintain that it was a plot masterminded by security forces like in so many fronts not get out of there . why were all the exits closed nothing. of the events in court so huge the national football championship was suspended indefinitely rallies and marches of the ways fans gather together.

was a college student to last february today he leads a youth political movement which seizes every opportunity he can to take to the streets what are you doing here these are the slogans of the revolution i don't touch it. and. then looking at such graffiti often leaves me speechless who are going to express how i feel with a picture or words whom i thought from if they're trying to tell us that we're a generation of thugs and that's an important point to commend them when you see that this is something entirely different to what and how i'll be frank with this coffee she often makes restocking with trucks you think of what he didn't feel like

this nearly as often under mubarak i'm. afraid that all this is simply amazing how could him. defeat. mohammed bouazizi self-immolation into his ears sidi bouzid took place eighteen months ago since then the economic situation in the town where the chinese ian revolution started has taken a turn for the worst. the young vendor was driven to despair by joblessness unemployment rates have gone up but local use of found a way to spend all their free time almost every wall is covered in graffiti. we do have liberties but otherwise. i see no changes if.

people are free to talk with them any journalist to come here. there is no pressure from the government or the police stop it if you get what but during the revolution would be people who are more united than they are now. a he sent is with some of the first local bloggers to post news of the young vendor setting themselves on fire you tube and facebook spread reports of the horrifying act far beyond his hometown the tunisian revolution was the first arab internet kook he's an isa maintain they have done just as much for the new free tunisia as their fellow countrymen go as easy as it before it was easy did what it did in city was it in december two thousand and ten most people did not know him but after that he became their hero they started writing about him on facebook not a lot of us not of the mainstream media coverage of this either

a lot more national t.v. you know the radio or the press this information had a repeatedly been repulsed and on the web before it was shown on al-jazeera in spain. the great arab information revolution initiated by young enthusiasm tunisia has been carried on by professionals t.v. channel al jazeera activity covered events encouraged by his question on the military conflict in libya the lead to the overthrow moammar gadhafi today the information war has focused on syria. journalist refeed looks he is rarely seen on the streets of damascus the man shown in his public appearances wherever he goes he is followed by two armed bodyguards there's a reason for the course a short while ago two unidentified men fought on the car carrying a reporter for several months refeed has been waging his own information rule

eventually against cooktop reports concerning events in syria's books such as the now world renowned city official i i think. we can now cross to our correspondent reporting from the field hospital. we are now at a medical unit located at one of the houses. there are a lot of wounded from the surrounding houses. you can see it with your illinois. sharma's. allah damn him for having killed my younger sister. i'm blind because of him his wife must die. one woman and i mean this video shows a field hospital of the so-called free army that says with a has been organized and equipped by certain organizations whether one can be this footage is all orchestrated and i hate to see the face of

a wounded child and i think couldn't so now i needn't tell you about the emotions of syrian or anyone else experiences seen the suffering of a child on al-jazeera screens. however before the report is sent to the channel the girl's father shows up to tell her what she must say on camera notably about bashar assad and. moreover somebody standing behind the camera tells the girl's father what he must say to his daughter before she repeats his words i want to go with what. you have it. is all a. legend . posts his daily exposures about zero and western channels on the internet and on syrian t.v.

but so far he has failed in this information. nodia has been hiding with her children for several weeks they managed to escape from homs a city that is plunged into massive addressed the woman says she has received several death threats in the hometown but then. after we had collected thirty three thousand signatures against the revolution we started receiving threats my home was set on fire and destroyed they caused me a lot of suffering but i kept going but then i received a very open threat saying count your children before going to bed early. says the threats were followed by the kidnapping of eldest son mohammed the twelve year old

boy was killed a note placed on his chest said i was murdered by bashar these are my son muhammad's clothes that's where a bullet hit here and here. and also here. here's the blood of my family i washed in water but the blood remains that's what my humble he was wearing . doesn't know how long she will have to hoist in damascus she has to go back to. the television still churns out horrifying pictures from her home. right now. every. night.

more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. before a show. you

know this. is of the young. ashraf is very much what the poet hero of the songs he is young and in the glory of religious belief does not trust the media. i'm telling you. i'm. just looking for the. real. thing in the moslem love black market but with one of the muslims looking at a book deal well good yeah that's good to keep it looking at the bottom of you know the people i've looked up to it was really the flood of movement because. the couple who plotted to kill you know like you know polygamists about the country and just a few of them i already knew political leaders have got to know what you know how much of a sob not to let. the t.v.

a lot of people get caught up in blood the more you play some of. the people get caught up in not you know but of all. the. public because you don't like some of them you would visit them is does not compute with the feel of this job again that's a. plus to let. me look stupid. kid when it comes. to the if you're going to see. a different eunice yoon revolution has failed to achieve its goals we wanted it to be beneficial to the people and we wanted jobs there were half a million people unemployed we wanted the revolution to produce freedom and dignity but now we're back to square one. many people are homeless but those who have a home and live in poverty as you know an. ash referee presents the new generation

of the most during the twelve years and arab spring he and the young people like him see protest and defending the gains of the revolution as they made the commitment. so his square is the focal point of the revolution in egypt even a year after the resignation of hosni mubarak it is still the center of public attention. back at us but it was a lot of stuff now what. if you had all the bases but cannot catch it i shared with you that wonderful way he did. that. happen. many of those who were involved in the events of february two thousand and eleven

have not left the middle of the not isolated. living in tents not put up a makeshift gallows here the protest is a promise to trying the former president and muscle control with the country's current ruler. each day the never ending noise of trial here accompanies the work of touch mubarak the. shop is situated close to the restless square. aside from his other activities young revolutionary khaled is the presenter of an analytical talk show on a local channel it just so happens the book about exposure shop is the closest place where can i have his head trimmed before going on. one of the revolutionary youths. one of the ones from talking to square. and i like you guys you are the best generation in egypt getting nothing was happening in egypt before

. a few minutes later the conversation predictably drifts to the march of the last few football club fans the ultras came from another place they came from the streets where the palace of the nile stands tonight yes indeed i swear to god it was going to real heroes. that missed the paralyzing the traffic in central cairo for several hours the marches from the football club well you reach that destination justice palace ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah the fans lit flares and chunks of the wood justice outside the closed door was nobody emerged from the building to meet the families. that evening the local t.v. talk show presided over by khaled focused on the football fan demonstration what

caused the mask import sayit the young revolutionary insist that when the tragedy occurred on the first of february two thousand and twelve the police did nothing to stop it the media outlets attempt to suppress the news. it wasn't just a group of thugs attacking beating and killing others that's not the point and the point is that they punished fans what they had done for the sake of the revolution this means that the author it's easy to blame what the military council interior ministry and all the government structures of this i believe all of them and those events i think that the media has a juicy to come out with a clear position instead of distorting the truth as. people in revolutionary egypt have changed their attitude towards the revolutions principle mouthpiece the qatar based al-jazeera news channels i accomplish and will not be. true but during those eighteen days al-jazeera and other channels did

a good deal to inform the public about the goings on it was quite unlike what gyptian television was trying to demonstrate that would alter the fact that channel began was in line with the requirements of the governments concerned or its own and i think up to. three journalists from al jazeera is lebanese bureau sit in the spring of two thousand and twelve they were leaving the channel because disagreements with its editorial policy the main complaint concerns its coverage of syria the journalist say the channels could top executives both pictures of government opposing government troops from t.v. screens. the problem is today it's not about we have independent media there is no independent media the media in general was i don't think so. for example like you know promoting pollutions in. egypt tunisia whatever but i don't think for

example that the revolution i saw directly in two thousand and eleven the news channels one of its most experienced correspondents son ben just does interview using today's sheik. and feed castro for a long time he was in charge of the channels iranian pure they just held a similar post at the office in lebanon in the spring of two thousand and eleven because i left the child after a row saying he was not going to cooperate with the news outlets which cycle feist objectivity for politically sponsored programming out of them and i realized that i could not work and resign i suddenly understood that i was afraid of this group illusions such thoughts appeared when the revolution in libya broke out of course i think that moammar gadhafi was a biscuit and he ought to have stepped down but my fears grew on something that on face value looked like the beginning of a new. arab reality with its revolution and change something very different

underneath hasn't any. there's at least. at least at. least that vietnamese. know that the. cairo has followed a new routine for a year and as a rule less processions take place in the daytime just off to lunch the sales is of demonstrations include people from all walks of life you display what is angry at low salaries football fans and religious radicals of every description often demonstrate his hold rallies near the barbershop run by mubarak he's shivah speech trying to his name is chosen by the crowd. yes i am. i am.

the baba gives us this weight pledge allegiance to revolutionary ideals but in the evening he prefers to bring down the shots and save his shop window just in case. then i know what i should be yes i did say this if the revolution has been a success let me ask you a question if you remember students going off university campuses such things only happened in the one nine hundred seventy s. and yesterday they held a rally in front of the defense ministry is that true yes it is what does it mean it means that we have freedom isn't that so they used to be locked inside their university staying under control and supervision if they did anything wrong the next day they got arrested with was it the case so it is freedom what else would. i am.

as the day draws to a close in cairo a young activist called moore is just getting going first he attends a congress of the liberal policy led by his father and eminent politicians after that he meets fellow rights campaigners there is a vast social gap between rural and his peers keeping vigil in the top of his square nor lives in a lot flats in the most fashionable neighborhood of the egyptian capital he often travels to foreign countries and speaks excellent english which the sort of fish like this for which cause. he has radical views of the future of the revolution many years some people the you what is happening on the streets now is you know the after party for a very wild part of the happened however i totally disagree i don't even think the

party got the point he said it's not become fine maybe there was a house warming at the beginning but we're still waiting for the actual resolution to happen. from time to time nor his friends performative youth leisure center on the banks of the molten towns have. to young revolutionaries play on the usual instruments strictly speaking they almost instruments a tool they make music from trash picked up from the street the progressive musicians call the group design believing which is local slang for garbage collectors. and this is where the actual zabbaleen of found. one hundred thousand people in this district on the outskirts of cairo.

their lives depend on garbage the zabbaleen gather it from all of a car and bring it back to their neighborhood these people to have opposed the view of the revolution. get their main concern isn't that some tyrant is being toppled over because freedom has arrived rather since they could business has been booming for the. orderly is sure we did a good deal of collecting cheering the revolution everybody was running a barge like mad or enjoying themselves in cafes all that produced a lot of garbage. it is for that reason that the inhabitants of the trash neighborhood in great group saw the arab spring they don't want it to dry out and become a scorched zama that is so typical of the middle east public unrest means garbage and garbage is that life.

home. from.
