west and some other. groups that support that do not. believe the proportion of the city and people who support president in fact some somebody who. claim that it is the joy now even if it's not the majority even if it is an equal number or a large proportion of the syrian population then one cannot have a stable syria without. one cannot have a dialogue without some suppliers so the opposition groups or the so-called syrian free army that is supported by western powers and some arab countries needs to. resolve this matter of priorities it needs to set its priorities straight and to the international community and to everybody and to the united nations is the priority actually have a stable and peaceful syria and to actually build government institutions and also of course they will crack they can form for order is the priority. change gauging

reaction to the syrian crisis in the region artie's policy or spoke with us here from israel's institute for national security studies about what regime change could mean for a serious key ally iran the full interview coming up later this hour here's a preview. cuba has been. and the us the group g.m. has been the runs closest alley for over two decades if us a true jew falls apart you ron is standing to lose a very strong alley because any government would take place in syria was a. western ally and democracy which is not very likely or muslim the muslim brothers were sunnis and were very hostile to. iran any rigi would be either hostile to run or far from corporate can get around that as much as the

bashar assad regime has been. controversial us gun laws coming under increased public scrutiny latest outrage at lax legislation sparked by the killing of an unarmed teenager in florida critics say the right to bear arms and shoot in the name of self defense go well beyond personal safety instead serving the interest of those producing and selling the weapons or he's married important. if the second amendment to the u.s. constitution had a soundtrack. the right to bear arms would best be recognized by gunfire. the land of the free is the most heavily armed nation in the world with two hundred ninety four million firearms floating around america hi i'm chuck norris like patriot it's great to get my home i can use my roundhouse kick.

for a look down the barrel of my guy since two thousand and five freedom for gun owners to point shoot in the name of self-defense has widened under controversial legislation known as the stand your ground law experts say it allows going owners to use deadly force to protect themselves in public essentially delivering a license to kill it tells people you know what if you're in a confrontation on the street with someone or getting into an argument or there's a physical altercation even if you could safely retreat from that just walk away and go home and you don't have to we're going to let you shoot and potentially kill another human being and then the law will not only provide you with proper immunity from criminal prosecution but also immunity from any future civil litigations that stand your ground first became law in florida but recently received national attention following the deadly shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin the unarmed student was carrying candy and iced tea when he was shot dead by

a neighborhood watch volunteer police released the gunman george zimmerman without charges the bomb was our son but trayvon is your son. a lot of people can relate to our situation. and it breaks their heart just like you breaks mine. going to continue to fight for justice for since stand your ground took effect the number of so-called justifiable homicides in florida have tripled as martin's parents mourn the loss of their son u.s. gun laws remain historically loose in many states citizens with criminal records and prior restraining orders are still able to pursue. gun permits. critics say easy access comes courtesy of the national rifle association or n.r.a. a gun rights organization and the tories sleet powerful u.s. lobbying group that reportedly spent more than seven million dollars on political

ads during the two thousand and ten u.s. midterm election paid for by the n.r.a. everything that the n.r.a. pushes at the state and federal level is designed to sell more weapons that's what this is about there's a lot of money thrown around whether it's an array campaign contributions to florida politicians or corporate money that can be spread around a number of different ways since two thousand and five the stand your ground law has been i doc did in twenty five states throughout america just ninety six to conduct the king and bobby kennedy were set for some of the people in our country here to do the gun violence and so you know it's the most powerful nation on the planet the british nation it is some people's minds most democratic nation. clearly something before you can see that people should each other oh and so as americans since i don't live in the us civil liberties and freedom have suffered in the name of national security new gun laws up some alternate history made it easier for americans to arm themselves leaving the land of liberty locked and loaded up or die

a decision typically made by the captain of the aircraft which the problems that we have today in aviation come down to the system that prepares and manufactures planes as well as those who train the pilots and flight personnel with only a handful of certified aviation schools across russia and the industry rapidly growing there simply aren't enough pilots in the seventy's it took only two years to become an aviator now it's a college degree and a specialized program that could take up to eight years to complete opening just last year once all is attempting to turn back the clock and address the issue the primary goal of the aeroflot aviation school here in moscow is to fix the shortage of professionals in a russian aviation industry bad weather horrible equipment and even older models of planes have been to blame and recent crashes of russia however here the primary focus is on the human factor the idea that privates and copilot should be able to handle high levels of stress in order to land

a plane safely on the ground or in the water. but even at this school it's painfully obvious that simply turning over pilots a faster rate won't be enough russian airlines need at least eight hundred new pilots yearly while here it takes twenty four months to graduate just a fifth of that number of these state of the art computer based programs and simulators may fall short when competing with actual flight experience like you nowadays a pilot acts only as the operator of a plane he basically pushes buttons turning them on and off with the exception of takeoff and landing older more experienced pilots have this knowledge but also have skills that help them in other more unconventional circumstances of skills like those of pilots who perform miracles landings in two thousand and ten an electrical failure crippled a plane travelling from siberia to moscow the two middle aged russian pilots on that flight safely landed the aircraft on an abandoned military airfield against

critical of israel and this way or phone or is it taking anyone who dares through it to be crude think can decide as an anti semitic is really is not sufficient and ease of finding the counterproductive because the world will die i'd rather see free read this isn't a go. and construct a reaction to it rather then spread and preventing intellectuals in please. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe former k.g.b. head we need to be a lot has won the presidential runoff and south has actually gained fifty four percent of the votes overcoming his rival human rights commissioner who got forty three percent russia and several other countries recognize the state as independent almost four years ago it was after two thousand and eight they were after georgia lost the military offensive against russian peacekeepers in the south ossetian capital zimbra. as many as thirty have died in southern yemen during

be offered help in the form of debt restructuring or refereeing the crisis german politicians appear to have kicked that idea into touch with one n.d.p. calling the move a threat to competition and asking german clubs to speak out i find it unthinkable we paying hundreds of millions of dollars to help them recover from the situation and clubs are trying to avoid paying their debts it cannot go on like this. the repos who has since been dropped but the problem persists a spanish clubs owing more than seven hundred fifty million euros in unpaid taxes rayo vallecano is one such club in a ministration struggle to pay all its players wages. i think the sponge queers who are outraged when we talk about a strike it is obvious this is going through a really difficult time and inability to pay salaries is something affecting many clubs last year krumping place the strike wages are only part of the problem with

spending internet the world's greatest talent amounting to four hundred million euros in the top league and those who lead teams from the boardrooms think something drastic needs to change. now stylish football and the spanish economy need investments from abroad it's not only about football but also spain as a whole off the pitch a similar scenario is being played out like a noncompetitive economy is not yielding many positive results a more some accuse football clubs of taking their eyes of course many are saying the same about the nation's leaders to greaves madrid spain. as spain struggles to contain its budget deficit the government's austerity measures continue to anger the public in sunny you states the cuts have even proved to be an unbearable burden tensions continue in greece after last week's public suicide of a pensioner who blamed his debts on politicians with arsonists destroying parts of a government building the fire follows the assault of a police officer during

given the fact that all you will do anything about them because the government has bigger priority is. turning back to the hour's top story internationally brokered ceasefire in syria scheduled for thursday could be dead in the water opposition forces refusing to give written guarantees they will stop fighting which is a regime precondition for withdrawing troops from cities and towns there's also reports of continuing violence ahead of the truce and the latest incident with the rebels and troops building across the border into turkey with a number of people injured to the turkish refugee camp let's get the latest on all this from artie's sara for. those are how has syrian gunfire now reached into turkish territory are we seeing an escalation of the conflict. well this refugee camp where this happened achilles refugee camp really just dangerously close to this conflict area is on the zero points of the border between turkey and

syria we were there in that area just last week and we were speaking to some of the refugees of course there was a number of refugee camps in this area and they were many of them being moved to this contain account right on the border is the house around twelve thousand refugees and none of them that we were speaking to one city go to this area and unfortunately we seeing this incident now occur is really of no use surprise to the people who are living now and operating in this area that unfortunately such a tragic incident like this is happening in the clashes breaking out between the free syrian army and the syrian government forces for a long time these border areas have really got incredibly incredibly dangerous they've heard the past couple of weeks of course as you've had this huge influx of refugees coming into the country coming into turkey there has also been very serious questions that have been asked about the return of

a lot of the free syrian army back across into syria and the allowance of the turkish authorities for that to happen so there's really going to be some people wanting to look very very closely now just how exactly say many civilian refugee people worth it in this area of course turkey is a country that's been calling for a safe zone for a buffer zone to allow refugees fleeing the violence in syria to come in to turkey safely and you've really got the western just how safe having a refugee camp right or not border area where so much conflicts been happening recently really is and we were actually speaking to a number of the f.s.a. who are operating on the turkish side in crossing over fairly regularly and they openly admit that the turkish authorities do you turn a blind eye to the f.s.a. crossing back and forth in the country and for. you know you have seen as a result of the escalation of clashes and violence in this area.

walking. across the border again. maybe of. the army i took you show me. along with some people come back you know this. side of the border across the turkish border to syria. and of the many of the free syrian army people here yeah there are people here and there are three things. you know turkish government turkish let him go back to fight now this is all happening in the run up to the fast approaching deadline for an agreed truce in syria so how are things looking in that respect. well as the beacon of color it was time of course that line for that with all of the treats and tanks from some of these conflict

areas upon us and forty eight hours after that of course his place to have his takes will cease fire an incredibly complex situation in case he announced peace plan really was the place to be the sort of middle ground between these two sides to trying to find some kind of diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict and really this is now the only card on the table and you see all these obstacles springing up the syrian government has asked for the ricin guarantees to the opposition saying they caved in and really as the mediator needs to be providing out from the opposition side the syrian government say they don't want to see repeated what happened with the arab league where they withdrew and then you saw some of the rebel forces taking control of some of the areas at the same time a huge amount of skepticism around the syrian government's drive and actual credibility in signing up this peace plan in the first place then you know a lot of people feeling that they've made these promises before and time and again

we're just seeing these promises fail to materialize and that's certainly going to be the concern here it's really going to be now about how to keep this peace plan alive at such a critical time i mean it's really this latest clashes kid have come at a worse time but it's really very very important that there is some way now that people can find to me ford rather than just simply add protection authority says writing off this peace plan all together all right if you search for it live for us in cyprus thanks for that r.p. . afghanistan now has the right to veto u.s. led night raids against militants are two sides agreed a deal to ease the truce of a source of tension but while viewers works on relations with others another person problem inside the military highlighted by our two years a preview of what's to come at seventeen thirty g.m.t. . i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year that i can't take it anymore the stomach and chest pains you've been getting worse no
