dealer home after a u.s. court sentenced him to twenty five years before scurrying to america. this is all she's weekly review hello and welcome to the program far as the you and box peace plan for syria could be intact long hours ahead of a ceasefire deadline the rebels have refused to give damascus any guarantees they will lead down hours before the government troops pull back on the middle east correspondent paula see her. the commander of the rebel free syrian army has indicated that he will not give any kind of written guarantees that he plans to meet on arms and this is just hours after the syrians who are adequate force such explanations what the syrian regime is often for is confirmation that

the rebels will lay down arms before they with tool they tense and the troops some population centers well this does threaten to derail the peace purse is just two days before the peace plan that was put forward by the former u.n. chief kofi annan goes into effect what we know is that the rebels are saying that they do not recognize the legitimacy of the syrian president bashar assad's regime and as such they will not be giving any kind of guarantees what they want is for the syrian troops to return to their bases and for security checkpoints to be removed from the streets but what we're hearing from damascus they say that in the last few days there has been an alarming increase environments in numerous syrian cities and it puts the blame for this squarely on the shoulders of the opposition who they say are continuing to carry out violent acts there are many in international community who fill that what world powers are doing is actually moving the two sides further away from each other we saw recent friends of syria

meeting which has effectively now become known as the friends of the syrian opposition and the small countries like the united states and its allies as well as several gulf countries saudi arabia qatar and turkey pledging increased support for the rebel fighters what we've heard from countries like russia is that far from actually hoping to resolve the conflict these kinds of situations of support are merely searing of the crisis on the ground we also know that the united nations has threatened to take what its morning service states against a mass because if it does not with courts troops by next week's mistake deadlines but so increasingly the sense is that many of the international community by mentoring they support to the opposition fighters by actually do little to help resolve the syrian conflict. paulus lear there and. former syrian ambassador explains why it's vital for damascus to get the guarantees it wants from the rebels syria has learnt

a very hard lesson from the arab league observers say the armed gangs. really used the existing legal observers on the ground. and i could be a force to. towns and it has cost the syrian army and security forces the innocent civilians hundreds of extra lives does not want to see the same thing to happen again during the existence of any international observers on the ground that israel syria has demanded. from maine and lawyers and supporters of the. free syrian army i agree with there too we need to do for me is right we went through for. peaceful and civilized. harbors who have been butchering men women and children in syrian cities and towns

. the deadline has passed for egypt's presidential hopeful starfish register for the poor next month about twenty countries that are hoping to fill the shoes of hosni mubarak was ousted last year election commission is expected to announce the full list of approved candidates in the next couple of weeks. kyra for us looking at her standing for the top job. you can divide the candidates into essentially three groups the first group are the liberals who are those who have the support of mostly young educated people then you have the second group who are essentially hailing from the camp of hosni mubarak the ousted president we have his former prime minister running for president as well as i'm going to move former foreign minister in egypt but also as the former head of the arab league is also vying for the top job as well as the former head of the intelligence services of egypt almost to a man and finally we have the third group who probably have the loudest the most rowdy

supporters in egypt and they are the islamist parties the muslim brotherhood who from the get go from the first days of the revolution said that they're not going to put forth a candidate for the presidential race here leader not only do they hold the majority of seats in the parliament but they're also saying they have also submitted applications then there is the cell if you party who also have a very staunch very radical islam the person running for it and you finally have a third radical islamist party. which have also good for their candidate who is actually banned from traveling in france because according to the french authorities he is a preacher coincides religious intolerance and hatred the muslim brotherhood have just recently been in washington d.c. insisting that radical islamist groups have been misrepresented is that they actually seek nothing more than to install a sharia law in place of the constitutional law some of the things which they have proposed to be put forth in egypt as the law is for example getting alcohol for

everyone including tourist for arresting tourists or into these sort of suits for sick of dating schools and making girls go to separate schools for boys and for lowering the age of consent to about twelve years of age and whether or not these are the types of laws which those who have been out on the streets of cairo a year ago bringing about the egyptian revolution whether this is exactly what they had in mind when they called for liberty equality and justice of course that remains for the egyptian people to decide. so the muslim brotherhood's influence on egypt's policy political life i should say could never could have a negative impact on the country's freelance journalist true. women's roberts have not been one suit to push social train so i imagine it'll be quite difficult for women or for minority groups including coptic christians who obviously a critical thing in this country i think the limits really have shown

a very strange relationship with the ruling military council and the supreme council the armed forces or i think this is where there may be some issues of the revolutionary groups because they appeared to have been doing deals with discussed behind closed doors which could basically mean that there isn't revolutionary change and this i think will be the worry for the rest of the future of egypt and there's still a lot more waiting for you in the program we'll take a look at bahrain where security forces fired here gas and water cannon against protesters who march in support of a jailed human rights activists they say the man's case will have to pressure the government. also don quixote's of our time while the new turning green by building new roads and wind farms find out why some golden state at the end of battling this painting giant. a retired farms this became the most public victim of greece's us territory

measures this week after this seventy seven year old man shot himself dead in front of parliament he left a suicide note the blames the council destroying his livelihood some two thousand people came to pay their final respects to demetrius christoulas on saturday some comparing his death the murder sites park rides with the protesters clashing with police and throwing petrol bombs officers responded with tear gas has been ramping up its standing can't since twenty ten to secure vital e.u. bailouts and economic analyst and extract is because policy needs a major rethink. i. have about a third of the population in greece living under the poverty line we've got about a million people employed and probably half a million kids who really don't we very well would all all we need is something like this to catalyze opinion and send us into deep reflection i think that the more austerity cuts horizontal cuts to pensions public sector wages and tax

increases are absolute nightmare it's like putting it out of rex sick or a very strict diet it's going to backfire what we really need here is more structural reforms some sensible privatizations to clamp down on waste and corruption and actually get the very rich to pay their share as well because at the moment it's the unemployed people it's the pensioners and it's little cost us that are suffering while the people that have stashed away close to a trillion over seas have gotten away with it. russia has pledged to bring home weeks ago so the businessman was sentenced in the us to twenty five years behind bars moscow says it believes the case is political he was found guilty of conspiring to kill americans but maintains his innocence the judge stressed there was no prove brute would have committed any crime but for the sting operation that's how his arrest last he's innocent you can recall. here is spent by the u.s. to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash who are

into a sting operation snatched up from a third country alleged arms dealer picture was handcuffed flown to you wes and placed in solitary confinement for months before trial found him guilty on all four charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use an acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark the forty four year old russian air cargo business and fascinated hollywood car for a. record. now we are on the other eleven who lost his case in the court of u.s. public opinion before his trial kicked off raising concerns about the fairness of his trial this is the lord of war. the merchant of death. and you've got him in

your hands spread he's in custody it's a great feeling u.s. officials were relentless in their efforts to get behind bars so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate american agents posing as four members a colombian group to terrorists in the u.s. but not by name any other countries and the u.n. met with and then arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after twice being found not guilty by thai courts the u.s. reportedly played dirty by arm twisting thailand into extraditing him to america they're willing to flawed every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of bridgeable to extradite him or should say kidnap of good family also called us actions entrapment and kidnapping i can accept the possibility that boots might have some information that might be of interest to someone but why is it that other countries don't just think to themselves there is someone who has some interest in information and why don't

those governments just drive based people onto their territory moscow's request to send him to russia for trial were brushed aside there was no official decision of an extradition russia called booth's extradition illegal and question the validity of his conviction one of the main arguments of the defense that the u.s. lacked jurisdiction was ignored by the court woods defense says the russian was aware that he was not in touch with real fark members and all he was trying to do was to all cargo planes magic crimes manufactured jurisdiction and manufactured evidence careless george map has attended every hearing in the case he says is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play feel that victor and is unable to take the charges that were brought against him that he is innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man whether it be russian citizen reboot or troy davis to be you know sent to thrive or recover crying and pleading commit it to good is the simple. since it

isn't any easier to face sentencing on american territory for little crimes committed in a third nation both cases a major precedence and represents a worry the right strategy to simply override the legal system set up other countries as a tribunal like still. looks a bit scase is not the only extradition to the us which has sparked controversy american lawyer douglas knock knock believes washington regularly uses legal loopholes to try to track suspects and its judicial system the federal government the u.s. government takes a very aggressive approach extraterritorial like if someone is in london and wire transfers a sum of money to an individual and barely on and on but i'm still beyond the money kings through citibank in new york that paying that touching of u.s. jurisdiction is sufficient jurisdiction for the united states government to charge both of those individuals with money laundering the both facing extradition proceedings if they both lose they're looking at twenty years without parole that's

a risk facing a federal judge in manhattan u.s. government decided they wanted him they were able to sue the manufacturer and i view jurisdiction not illegally a form of entrapment where they were able to pull mr boot into the jurisdiction of the u.s. court they placed him in you know in packs for additional proceedings so by while you. thailand and having extradited to the united states he must file a properly prepared notice of appeal and probably in about a year or so we'll know what the second circuit court of appeal says with regard to mr boots appeal. don't forget there's plenty more for you on our website slogan shakti dot com for more analysis of the exhibits imprisonment and here's a quick look at what's also in store for you there right now in north korea already has the international community alarmed imminent rocket launch what else is ramping up the nuclear tensions log on to our to go home to hide out. in force to jump

been on hunger strike for two months made mistakes that. the man's case will help put more pressure on the ruling regime. these hunger strikes i think they do contribute there you do achieve the goal because what they do is they reveal the real tactics which are being pursued by the regime and although to clamp down on the protesters. the more and more such acts i think call for that expose the truth nature of all the truth politics which the regime use using and what the other of the homes laws he puts more pressure on certain western countries also in european powers in order to change their stance because of the visibly the regime in bahrain the focus is all on syria and what's going on in syria of course setting aside the train we all know that the fifth fleet in bahrain does exist we also know one i think this is the main issue here that bahrain is a very close ally of saudi arabia and saudi arabia has one of the allies of the

u.s. so when we speak about the blackouts being put on the plane i think the first and foremost this is a saudi arabian wish because a saudi arabian is also a fear that there might be a domino effect which could happen in the persian gulf beginning from bahari an admin spreading to spreading to saudi arabia the international community is still focused on world also i think that all contributes to the anger which we're witnessing the popular anger which in the end i believe would cheer but the end goals. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines this hour a bomb exploded in central ny causing casualties there details of numbers have not been confirmed this happened just a few hours after an early explosion blew out windows and tore off roots in the northern city of d.n.a. killing thirty eight people and injuring many more there are the latest series of violent attacks in nigeria most of which have been claimed by the militant group. presence has officially resigned as part of a deal to end the political crisis in the country the military staged
