11:06 am
poisoning and murder of former security officer alexander litvinenko is innocent a polygraph has cleared russian and lugovoy who's become the focus of a dispute souring lation is for several years between london and moscow which is refusing to extradite him to britain artie's laura smith has the details. we understand that it was a three hour process so really you know very sort of sort of resoundingly test was performed on google voice initiative and he was the one who asked for a test to be done and as we all know from lie detector tests a lot of questions are asked and i can tell you sort of three of the most of the most approving ones that were asked one of which was did you do anything that led to the death of a. voice on so was no did you in any way have a pulse in the death of. his answer was no have you ever had any dealings with polonium that polonium of course we know is the radioactive substance that was used
11:07 am
to poison alexander litvinenko in two thousand and six again on so was no then what happened was that the data was by this british organization that pushes polocrosse association they say that from the results of the test those would not and that in their professional opinion he's telling the truth now this was a test that was performed by a group of british polygraph is as i say the push pull it off association they then issue just signed statements and they have links to scotland yard there is to see it isn't recognized by scotland yard now of course but of the background to this case is that he has almost always been the chief suspect it's as far as the british authorities are concerned in the violence on the dividend they have the u.k. authorities have requested his extradition but it has been denied by russia which under its constitution cannot extradite russian citizens there's been no reaction from the u.k. government so far it's worth mentioning that polygraph tests themselves on not
11:08 am
admissible in u.k. courts of law although they are being progressively increasingly used as substantiation evidence in other ways and becoming much more widespread and there's been a lot of things this is just the latest point to avoid not having taken part in the murder of alexander litvinenko and so many people are. now saying even more than they were before that it's time for the u.k. authorities to look for another suspect as they say voided it was his initiative to take part in this test and he's also offered to participate fully in a a full inquiry into his death that has been offered to do with alexander litvinenko so he's really participating fully and trying to clear his name and coming up this hour a selective opposition teargassed rains down on both parents anti-government protesters yet western governments keep quiet prompting accusations of selective support for arab uprisings. and irritating the dragon can china's patience hold out

as america's military plays war games in its backyard we report all night short. syrian border guards have reportedly clashed with extremist fighters flowing from iraq and independent newspaper in syria suggest the armed group is funded by saudi arabia qatar and include mercenaries linked to civilian killings peace envoy kofi annan is calling for a speedier deployment of further u.n. monitors to try and quell the violence. and now reports. kofi annan has expressed particular alarm at reports that government troops entered the syrian city of hama firing automatic weapons and said eve confirmed the firing is unacceptable earlier the spokesman for the envoy said the syrian government is not fully complying with the plan which was generally supported by the international community in which the syrian government claims it remains committed
11:10 am
to the plan stressed the need to withdraw army tanks from populated areas and according to the un envoy they have satellite images which show that the tanks are still on the ground and that is seen as a violation of the six point plan but in order to get a full picture of what's going on satellite images are not enough and kofi annan stressed the need to increase the number of international observers on the ground to one hundred by the end of the month just earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of three hundred un observers the forefront group if you want observers already in syria and everyone agrees that the u.n. needs more eyes on the ground to make sure that all sides of the conflict are doing their part because the plan addresses government forces as well as opposition forces and you do have people there who don't like the plan the opposition has not come up with a common response or whether they're going to engage in a dialogue with the government to work out a political solution to the crisis and that dialogue is also part of the plan as
11:11 am
far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's failure here is what secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. is preparing for the potential failure of kofi annan plan to end the violence in syria and will take additional steps against the syrian government if it does russia on the other hand sees kofi annan plan as the only way to bring about peace in syria and the you want observer mission as crucial to verify whether everyone is committed to it just this tuesday the rebels blew up an army truck in damascus there have been several attacks around damascus in the same day all targeted at the security forces several people were killed so you still have well armed militia there who are of course no match to the syrian army but according to the plan they too have to abide by they to have to stop killing. bolstering peacekeeper numbers may fail to make a difference in syria u.s. space political analyst is smile. says washington and its allies have no interest
11:12 am
in ending the fighting on the one hand the worst empowers hello the boy the united states. we disappeared from the arab league turkey their army training funding. our standing mercenaries also into syria on the other hand they say we should have a cease fire under terrorists or disperse them on population devil docs. in fact not only the opposition the so-called opposition which are a bunch of terrorists unsubtle tears and the secretary of state hillary clinton already talking about the post there you know all of the ceasefire so this is all together to devoid of logic it's totally preposterous. in back rain of there are no signs of violence dying down with police firing tear gas at protesters during you have more clashes in the capital manama anti-government

11:14 am
fifth fleet the largest american base in the oil rich gulf region just a stone's throw away from iran and to lose an ally as valuable as bahrain would be disastrous for washington. western politicians wasted no time in jumping on the arab spring bandwagon with fiery condemnations of the regimes in countries like egypt libya and syria yet suspiciously flies below their rhetorical radar the bahraini regime is playing a very dangerous game now of course has a majority against its own government and seeing a very sort of the end of days many people are expecting now of course there are huge arms deals with american british dealers that the bahraini government will be able to use against the protesters the american government lost no time to criticize russia's interest in syria but field to explain why it renewed its fifty

running out of time the irony about the persian gulf dictatorships is they don't really need to be submissive at all they do have power energy power and the facts of these persian gulf dictators continue to be so. to washington and even london displays what kind of colonial mentality must surround these dictatorships families being left alone to sort out a solution isn't easy but. they at least acknowledge transgression against their own civilians in the ugly scenes between protesters and police was that a human rights violations and behind us human rights violations in america there were human rights violations in. allowed. and. we are working. today and what. direction may be heading the west seems to be the other way no matter how high the cost for the

11:18 am
