smile but he found a way. i like dancing in the street and i like the reaction it produces in people i feel free this way yet even he can stay away from politics when i ask him about his biggest concern his sass syria should not dance to somebody else's tune. we don't need any countries meddling in our affairs. but. while the prospect of believe be a style intervention seems everlast likely the militarized the position and their supporters are still asking for arms. and. they are all one from another and the president of other countries is that they support us and now cause we the rebels want to get armed. while the rebels may have caused all the media attention the syrian opposition speaks with many voices it's often

faulted for being disorganized and fragmented but there is a surprising unity when it comes to the issue of military intervention. this is a position activists as he was detained and mistreated by the security services and while he is calling on bashar assad to leave serious political scene he says the armed groups should do the same. thing like him do as he's is not afraid to go public with his use he just returned back from moscow where the opposition delegation tried to persuade the russian authorities to put more pressure on their side regime he says not all powers mediating the syria crisis are really helping you know. that we are supporting. what we know. it's not supporting that and some

are trying to play some so with that. if that proves. and that's the next you'd. go to a dark. people so for too much there might be curious the country maybe a civil war no one knows what with lee b. and iraq just across the border imported democracies are not held in high regard here even among the opposition while syrians remain highly polarized across political lines most of them agree that the solution to their current crisis should be worked out within the country even for the opposition they delgo they know is still better than the demons that now hong neighboring countries and the boy artsy damascus syria now where the u.n.

or britain or turkey would dare doing anything in syria without a very clear you can't agree. or go from washington we're going to sarkozy is rushing to rally support after narrowly losing the first round of the presidential election this week to a socialist candidate francois hollande the current leader is facing farai votes ahead of them a sixth runoff reaffirming his pledge to drastically cut immigration separate he also said he would also modify the european three border agreement the control over illegal immigration that has marine one parent's national front did better than ever as it came third with almost eighteen percent of the vote one of her aides. explains why of her policies appeal to so many voters. we have to deal with some real problems of integration in france coming specially from muslim. immigrants of of muslim backgrounds but not only there were many many topics about socials

they fill people's head up with numbers and there are people in the deal who actually don't think they ask for carnival in just crusaders often extremist groups can be the trigger for somebody to do something something quite unpleasant quite nasty britain is considered a hotbed of far right extremism with sixteen anti islamic groups operating here the report classes the british freedom party is one of them its chairman paul weston was another cited by brevik highlighting a blog that claimed the west is fighting a european civil war against islam i'm not saying go out and commit violence and the most astonishing thing about this for me is it is the whole breivik thing has been picked up picked up on by the media with no documentary evidence of any so-called right wing movements saying go out there issues whereas when the islam it is clear that your blog posts act as an inspiration to him amongst other several of

these are these are simply that they may well be an inspiration to but we cannot deal with that we cannot say nothing simply because there might be some lone psychopath somewhere in europe groups like the british freedom party and the e.t.l. still aren't considered far right or extremist by the or thora sees the two recently joined forces and planned to run in the next round of local elections the worry for anti fascist campaigners is that they could attract support on the bennetts r.t. luton. i want to learn to live from moscow still to come in the program bath. thousands rally in egypt's revolutionary square venting their frustration over the upcoming elections which they say won't represent the your voice. detecting the truth russian m.p. and remove the void takes a radical step to rubbish written segregation that he killed former security officer alexander leave many unco. on friday series of
