until they have regime change and so they do not want peace they do not want the plan to succeed and we know that foreign fighters are going in not only weapons from the goal facilitated by the west but also foreign fighters are going in stooping. here in love in on they are foreigners being trained in the north and they go across the border frequently to stir up trouble and to create more antagonism between the sunni and the other way community and it's just a tragedy that's unfolding and the syrian people are the ones who are suffering. clashes in lebanon between pro and anti also its supporters have killed at least thirteen this weekend and injured dozens of others countries also thought to be a major arms hub for the syrian rebels but the deadly weapons fall was also a matter of faith as well as money from the. i. assume. it was five thousand dollars thirteen hundred. and two thousand. the seven machine guns between two and

is not the key reason shaadi is a sunni muslim and to him is his holy duty to support his co religious fighters in syria for sure. and sunni dominated no flood and on where we meet the arms dealer those who want assad out are in the absolute majority and they are sending their religious brothers in neighboring syria a lot more than prayers. mad twenty nine year old field commander from the free syrian army was wounded during the baba amr siege earlier this spring together with other injured f.s.a. members his now having treatment in lebanon but his not stopped fighting entirely. we have supported syrian ex-pats everywhere in the world or people from. saudi arabia also send us money. walkie talkies. borders and he says every day tons of these aid go through his hands but for him it's not

enough as soon as he gets better he'll return to syria. is sellafield a radical sunni group whose influence in this part of lebanon is growing dramatically. there are demonstrations in favor of the syrian uprising a role so the support package every few pounds. we also made some of fish a coma one of the founders of the band islamic group. suspected of links to international terrorists but he says his input in the syrian revolt in sending the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve the ultimate goal would be to make call at the overthrow of the government will make all the scholars speak for against these issues and make them all applies i guess the government and other selfish a can triple he runs this car parts shop and play confirms that every sunni and especially every salafist here in lebanon is involved either ideologically or

financially in what he calls syrian liberation. to help the tunisian and egyptian revolutions we want syrians now to get rid of this regime. shake muslim doesn't wear muslim white robes and keeps his beard secret every summer feet short so as not to draw too much attention he says everybody sacrifices something these days just to see their mission and assad's. syria completed. reporting from northern lebanon. on a top level tour of europe president putin this week urged patience to let the kofi annan peace plan come into a fact in syria he was speaking ahead of the meeting with top e.u. officials who have now arrived in st petersburg and i've got a lot to discuss as arena go to explain. but what's in spurs stop what was in minsk which many saw as an indication that that russia's foreign policy now will focus

more on its closest neighbors and the c.i.s. countries many observers also saw this visit as the beginning of the supposedly planned of economic and eastern bloc now off he went afterwards to berlin on a world when to visit which lasted for only half the day it was going to put an end german chancellor angela merkel who seemed to see eye to eye on the matters concerning syria now earlier in the week u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said that russia is aiding to the troubles in syria by continuing to support the regime of president bashar al assad to which of course their action president prepared a response so we can see it but russia is unilaterally supporting the assad regime . we have longstanding good relations with syria but we. needed the conflict if the situation i agree with. don't come in to. both russian and german leaders seem to believe that the coffee on speed planet should be seen

to progress to excess fully at the moment it does seem like a strong a by the seemingly unstoppable of fighting on all sides in syria now of course that not all leaders in europe seem to agree with the french president francois long or also earlier and we did mention that france supports military intervention in the middle eastern country and of course that is something that russia is adamantly against and that was one of the matters discussed by puttin on his last leg of the european tour which took him to paris now of course there is no agreement on the issue of syria among the european leaders among other issues which were also discussed or mentioned it during. meeting with the french president of course was the issue of missile defense now russia's russia's adam. the plans for creation of the missile defense shield in eastern europe a plan much hailed by nato and the united states as being very much needed by

countries to counteract the suppose it possible strikes from the likes of iran and north korea now these plans worry moscow very much and moscow has been adamant in its demands that its nato and its allies present written guarantees that this missile shield will not be used against russia. in the past we've often been promised you wouldn't expand then we were promised that need to wouldn't put military hold within the russian but we've seen it expand and its bases spread you know we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion we've been ready and willing to help out is to engage in dialogue it is natural that all of these issues of course will crop up during the e.u. summit in st petersburg and although we probably cannot expect a major breakthrough to be done it is clear that a lot of people lot of observers as well as all of the european leaders involved are hoping that some sort of movement forward will finally be made at least in some

of these topics. thousands in egypt have been venting their anger over what they say is a ling and sentence for the former president hosni mubarak is serving life over the killing of eight hundred fifty protesters during last year's uprising there also furious that mubarak's two songs and several security officials have been acquitted archies tom barton is in cairo. hundreds of protesters occupying terrorists where behind me and more reporting into the square larger demonstrations have also been called for later in the day this all started yesterday initially with joy about the life sentence that was given to former president hosni mubarak but then turned to anger as a number of security officials in his administration were acquitted of any involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters in egypt's revolution last year the verdict has given the police the green lights to do whatever the one because

they knew they wouldn't be punished the one who killed their children to get life sentences and hosni mubarak i'm his interior minister should be executed. killed does this verdict humiliate a year and a half of the revolution that those who ruined this country escaped justice at the expense of mubarak we know they're going to appeal the verdict that's what people should unite to prevent or not mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood candidate in the upcoming second round of the presidential election said that the revolution the started last year in egypt should continue and that if he was elected president he would make sure at least try to get mubarak back on trial and have him executed the top prosecutor in egypt he's going to appeal the acquittals of those top security officials people here who are really focused on yesterday's verdicts and they're

said that that is the sign that the military here that the old grey she may still in power chafee is the other candidate in the election he is mubarak's last prime minister a former general he has had offices of his both in the capital and in other towns raided and people say that they really want doubting whether a second round in the election should go ahead. which a freak house said that he wouldn't reinstate the old regime but he's going to have a lot of convincing to do to try and make people believe the future demonstrations planned in the coming week including a million man march through the capital. coming up here in artie's stability versus some pretty the irish people vote yes to more cuts from brussels but with fears that more decisions are being taken out of our those hands. the wiki leaks chief julian us launched lost his appeal against extradition from the u.k.

to sweden this week where he's wanted on sexual assault charges britain's supreme court ruled on wednesday that his arrest warrant was lawful a sundress team was given a fourteen days to appeal the decision which the world's top whistleblower says is politically motivated so are further reports from london. the truth shall set you free all know the supporters were out in full six weeks for julian assange tearing his appeal was rejected in a split five two decision by the judges after all the five hundred days of house arrest in person he's now on the brink of deportation to sweden to answer questions about sexual assault accusations he say's a trumped up basic point you remember the jury and hasn't been charged with any crime in any country and it really is extraordinary so much pain actual joy just for the purpose of questioning. it all began when we started revealing uncomfortable truths about the us government the afghanistan and iraq war logs gave

shocking detail about the violent occupation of those countries the scale of civilian deaths on potential war crimes all at the hands of u.s. forces and the swedish arrest warrant wasn't far behind i think this will send a chilling effect to overturn two whistleblowers but if they dare challenge the secrecy and indeed in many cases war crimes of the united states they will face retribution and that's bad for democracy it's bad for human rights the case has been seen by many as a david and goliath style fight but the stanch taking on not just the legal system but the establishment that seek to silence him and wiki leaks and it's not just the government media that champion the songes of freedom of speech defend spectacularly turned on him in recent times he didn't want to be a member of the club. and that was the problem we could reach produced in a matter of. more revelation about the workings of democratic of

the workings of the world in many ways how the world is wrong when or when used by the western world put together. the word jealousy comes. in a further twenty. in the tail songes legal team managed to get him an eleventh hour extradition stay if they fail this pass is likely to end up in the european court of human rights it is. really a ritual. that should not be. heard me on this issue that he is disappointment among his supporters at the decision and a real sense that this wasn't just a loss in a stunt and his legal team but a loss for the british justice system as well sir. one did well under house arrest in britain julian assange has songs has filmed his talk show that next airs on our team this tuesday to forget you can also catch up on previous episodes

throughout not just the publicist but the restaurant business and people are very very very careful on how they spend their money to pay big connelly's tightly bound to the eurozone through bank loans and bailouts the treaty binds budget treat policy even tighter so that brussels will have a say over how arlen spends its money. justice island says it's a badly written treaty that will do what it's meant to do what we're looking at no is a limiting limitation being imposed by this treaty which we believe quite strongly means that we cannot put in the investment levels that are required of the scale that's required to actually generate the goals to produce the jobs that are required if i was to get out of this mess that it's in thanks to the constitution the irish are the only european people who got to vote on the pact and all but two e.u. member governments have already signed it the yes vote will give power to an unpopular

a nice experience there wouldn't it be wonderful speaking of japan it would be wonderful one day if you can one day grew up and start acting like a child it's been since world war two since one thousand forty five america has said basing rights they have was since it practically pays japanese policy it's the same unsettled korea why don't these countries grow up and act like adults instead of children but look at vietnam they never shows up on her own baby for thirty seven thirty seven years ago america where you are a humiliating exit from the rooftop of saigon the end of the embassy in april nine hundred seventy five the decimated the country the people of vietnam still suffer from that war and the vietnamese want to cooperate with america is shocking but it looks like they'll do it singapore australia south korea the philippines
