there are returns to the countries wrong to bind the ones to ballance if the us has drawn as a way the book leaves the one hundred knocked down as its results that. syrian government statement that chemical weapons one be used in its internal conflict creates media scare stories with the hype and whether stockpiles might be deployed against up for grabs. palestinians are allowed free entry into egypt a lot easier a long time brocade of gaza and seen as cairo under its new islam is president of warming to.

russia and iran the world this is ours he was me thanks for joining us first a string of coordinated bomb attacks no wrong have paid more than a dozen cities and killed over a hundred people who was to violence in the country since the u.s. troop withdrawal the blasts were mainly targeting security forces and government officials and shiite neighborhoods that offensive occurred only days after al qaida announced a major comeback in iraq. looks at what they say means for the country and the whole region. the self-appointed leader of the iraqi branch of al qaida abu barker all baghdadi has announced the resurgence of terror in the country and clearly indicated there is more to come moreover he dedicated more than half of his online speech to the uprising in syria they happen to be staunch supporters of the rebels they are various organizations are pointing at the expansion of terrorist networks in syria which effectively fuels civil war there so this iraqi base all cried a leader also warned the syrian rebels not to accept a new rule or call. institution but god's will and shari'a islamic law otherwise

quote you will lose your blast the revolution end of quote to talk a little bit more about the lessons of iraq i'm joined by michael o'brien author of the book called america's failure in iraq sir you were based in baghdad at the height of the insurgency there so with the u.s. invasion in iraq six tarion war blossomed rampant insurgency terror which still continues to kill iraqis on a regular basis in june alone nearly two hundred people were killed in similar attacks across iraq when the u.s. decided to go in do you think they they didn't know how divided iraq was that what the consequences the regime change would lead to it was never really seriously considered. and i say this because of the very simplistic attitude the very cavalier attitude of the bush administration of which i was in the bush administration for two years so the know about it though they knew about it they

just i don't they right i really don't think they factored it in at all everything the united states did lead to where we were the or interact today it was totally destabilized. and then you get the tension between the sunni and the shia saddam was a sunni which is a minority of the population al qaida all they want to do al qaida in iraq is they'll kill sunni's so that the shiites take the blame they'll kill shiites so that the sunni will take the blame they really don't care all they want to do is kill people and foment unrest do you think those world powers that call for a military intervention in syria know how divided syria is i certainly hope that they take these things these factors like that into consideration after the lessons of iraq the lessons of iraq are there for the world to see michael o'brien thank you sir. there is terrible violence going on in syria. it is now an all out civil

war those who are against military intervention there remind how divided syria is between different ethnic groups where we just communities it's a politic karega socially in many war and if a solution is forced on them from outside from out of syria the powder keg could blow into a never ending civil war iraq is an example of the us carried out regime change their war broke out and killed more than a hundred thousand civilians not to mention millions of refugees as the recent attacks road to iraq still remains a hotbed of terror in washington i'm going to check on. so the oldest presence of terror groups linked to al qaida in syria has led to major fee is that the country's chemical weapons might end up in the wrong hands they syrian government has only recently acknowledged the existence of stockpiles but insisted they are secure they'd never be used in the current internal conflict. brings us the details from damascus. monday's news conference here in damascus foreign ministry spokesman

did mean that syria indeed possesses chemical weapons something that nonproliferation experts have suggested all along and that the syrian authorities have a number forwardly denying damascus has never signed the chemical weapons convention so technically it's admitting to having those chemical stockpiles is not a while ration of any international treaty which all of that syrian officials have a long suggested that they need some sort of deterrent against israel's similarly non-attachment its nuclear weapons program in terms of keep abilities syria is believed to possess as nervous agents and mustard gas as well as the missile capabilities to delivery of those weapons those chemicals are believed to be produced at five facilities around the country including. in hans and home of those c.d.'s as you will have seen major fighting between the opposition forces and the army. several israeli and western officials over the past few months

have raised concerns that if bashar assad's regime indeed falls those chemicals would fall into terrorist hands and that while the syrian authorities hausler to downplay this they're saying that all the weapons including chemical weapons are now under direct supervision and control of the syrian army despite those. statements it is believed to be a considerable threat and the western policy makers should consider that as one of the negative. concept of the support for the opposition forces now over the past few weeks. speculations in western media suggesting that. the assad government may use those chemicals in its fight against armed groups. the suggestion was kind you greatly deny these press conference in damascus on monday

the foreign ministry spokesman says that no chemical or biological weapons will ever be used during the crisis in syria no matter what developments inside syria he also sad that all these speculations were part of a major media can be made to prepare international public opinion military intervention in syria and did it falls pretext of weapons of mass destruction similar to the one that toppled saddam hussein. american also and a radio talk show host dr kevin barrett believes the international meetings hyping of the chemical weapons to pave the way for possible external action. this does remind us so the bogus accusations that were floating around prior to the unprovoked invasion of iraq there have been all sorts of stories and rumors over the past couple of months about the syrian opposition training with chemical

weapons in turkey with the intention of having a false flag events in syria to be blamed the government there and it seems that perhaps that's what's in the courage it may be that there is a and attempt to pave the way for this by preparing public you know for the idea that this evil syrian regime uses chemical weapons. and don't forget that you can always get updates on the situation in syria by following the tweets of our news team and our correspondent back from the boy goes in damascus and currently she's describing how life in the sea where the capital is getting back to normal and one of the signs about the return of traffic jams where she says actually encouraging after days of end she rides so do follow her acts on a boycott underscore see. egypt as allowing palestinians free entry to its territory in a landmark move ending part of

a long time blockade on gaza it was imposed by a zero with the help of egypt five years ago after hamas took control of the palestinian territory but with the president from the muslim brotherhood now leading egypt they move is widely seen as a friendly gesture to how much an offshoot of the brotherhood which operates independently how middle east correspondent policy or how small. cairo is allowing palestinians free entry into egypt effectively ending a five year blockade on the gaza strip what this means is that palestinians can now leave gaza with the same law applying to palestinians in the west bank and jerusalem this unprecedented move effectively lifts travel restrictions that have been imposed on gazans for the past five years they've been penned into this tiny mediterranean coastal city by a blockade imposed by israel but also assisted by the egyptian authorities egypt's interest was because of its feel for hamas and the spread of islamic militancy but

what we've seen now is a change largely in part because of separate meetings that were held in the past few days between the palestinian president mahmoud abbas the new egypt president dr mohamed morsi of the muslim brotherhood as well as the leader of hamas which controls the gaza strip khaled mashal so this certainly is a gesture of support by the egyptians to the palestinians in a separate and unrelated move israel has just announced that it is demolishing eight palestinian villages in the south hebron hills now the announcement says that the land is needed for training by the israeli defense forces by exercises that and everything else what we understand is that the forms we still have access to the land to work the land when the soldiers are not there so this would be on the weekend and on jewish holidays but the rest of the time the land used by the idea of so you are seeing this almost parallel but completely opposing effort by cairo

and to leverage on the one hand the egyptians extending a hand of friendship while these ladies for that is strange in themselves and isolating themselves not only from the region but from the egyptian neighbors paullus they are to tel aviv. plenty more still ahead for you this hour as the eurozone debt crisis impacts on the fears of the terrorists a collapsing force wealthy europeans to invest in british property hotspots find out how that's coming at a social cost for looking at people's chango to buy. a staple of america's wars abroad unmanned drones that might soon be used to spy on the country's citizens by twenty fifteen the computer controlled jets will have access to aspace usually resentful piloted planes and directed from a u.s. drone training company supporting the increased he's so that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear but traffic team and activist had they had

a twenty. that argument no longer holds water this is been used countless times in the past to justify a war lists email surveillance or g.p.s. location on your phone cops getting it without a warrant and it's all actually just of the kind of a false use of of an idea that we have about privacy and that you know i'm sure if we asked the head of this drone industry whether he would like a law enforcement drone following him around twenty four seven or if we would like him to give up his password to his email address to to us so that we can reuse e-mails or cameras in his home he would be very uncomfortable with that and that's the real problem with this argument because he's using it to try to deflect criticism that these surveillance drones are going to inflict on people's privacy which they are because there's actually no laws that really cover this type of surveillance and you know it's not that people are arguing that drones shouldn't be

used at all that's that's not at all the case he's using kind of a straw man to hold it up but all we want our privacy safeguards to prevent americans from being spied on without a warrant or without court oversight. remember there's always more news and comment available any time you want on our website which is our team home got more analysis as a tox transparency report reveals the world's ultra rich are hiding over twenty one dollars in offshore havens. also a grim discovery in russia's urals almost two hundred fifty human embryos were dumped in a forest and later discovered by tourists the full details that are. my . eyes were shot four times in total and i want to use that

or so. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. please welcome to the future mayor and more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers to the future of food under the microscope. we've got the future covered.

welcome back fearing the end of the single currency many wealthy europeans are investing in property with london one of the favorite markets but that's pushing up prices for locals meaning ordinary people are struggling to get a food on the housing ladder methinks play. economic distress breeds financial refugees and as the eurozone limps to what may be its death wealthy greeks italians and spaniards are desperate for a safe haven for their cash many have chosen london bricks and mortar the list of locations where europeans are choosing to buy a property reads like the priciest squares on the monopoly board chelsea knightsbridge mayfair hearing kensington but as rich foreigners lose faith in their own economies and snap up property at the top end of the london markets down at the bottom ordinary brits are struggling to get on the housing ladder at all bernard

clarke of the council of mortgage lenders reckons european cash is making an already tight housing market harder for everyone i'm buying property is probably contributing to. the difficult conditions in london which is one of the most difficult places for people to buy in any case because property prices in london not that much higher than the rest of the country then hewas knows all about that a teacher and a recruitment consultant he and his fiance live in a rented flat on shore when they'll be able to scrape together the sixty thousand dollars deposit they'll need to buy their own home this should be tricky and i think the main thing though i don't think the cost the mortgage would be much too much more than what we're actually paying now especially if we downsize because is to downsize to one boat probably less than what we're paying now oppose it. not the best credit rating. not really got a credit rating having not really taken credit out. the deposit is high since the

credit crunch banks are unwilling to lend to anyone with a less than perfect credit rating still a recent survey by the mortgage association shows eight out of ten british adults own their own homes within ten years but aspirations particularly among the young less and less likely to be fulfilled with four million eighteen to thirty s renting by two thousand and twenty fundamentally england's pace saying a housing crisis the housing market is broken at every level we're not building the math new homes and many younger people mabel to afford to buy their own home they're forced to live with their parents into their thirty's to scrape together a deposit or they're struggling to afford expensive rents in the private rented sector so ben and millions like him lacking the security of homeownership means putting other life plans on hold. because you know if you go

a mortgage or print money almost an investment money is you know not going into a landlord's pocket so it's really important that we buy a house and something that we want to do for we have stuff like that. it just seems a long way off you know. it doesn't seem realistic to british dream of owning your own home is alive and well but the dreams of many will be dashed by steadily rising prices and unavailable credit and an influx of euro cash puts youngsters dreams of owning any property cheap or chic further and further away laura smith london. fear is a mounting that the euro zone's fourth largest economy spain one survived without a creditors cash injection is boring cos hate a year era high meanwhile its population is gripped by anger over austerity measures and later today marks kaiser in the states i heard it revealed that even oscar winning citizens of spain are joining the protests. are there i'm joined

hindsight that has renewed that trading that was off to bring delays because of a typhoon. in the u.s. markets we see how wall street managed to get on yesterday as we can see them go losses on the screen now they want as bad as at some point in the day they did manage to limit the losses by the end we have mcdonald's one of the biggest losers of the day two point nine percent down there blaming a strong dollar on the international economic performance. we'll see those oil prices and if we may yet we've got them again in just a fraction just as a managing to rebound of the hitting one week. and the process begins construction of the biggest port in the yellow that with over twenty billion dollars of investment coming from the states private gas producer nova tech experts believe the new port will help to make the northern sea route attractive

for businesses away a substantial part of cargo shipments from other transit routes but it takes a closer look. i am now walking along the shortest sea passage connecting the east and the west part of our planet the northern sea route the water here is like ten degrees now but most of the year if i was bound and that's the main reason why it cannot compete with the main cargo transit route through. the main advantage of the northern syria it is that it is two times shorter than the suez canal nor is it both carriers which will become the biggest user of the routes this year says not a geisha through the northern sea instead of the canal shortens the trip to just twenty three days compared to forty three through the canal it also saves one thousand tonnes of fuel or more than six hundred thousand dollars vessels going through the northern ca route will avoid long queues and possible pirate attacks however one obstacle remains icebreaker and chords.

as course because not much more or less than the shipment itself how expensive it will be for the companies will depend on whether the icebreaker companies just one ship or a convoy however there are no fixed rates on offer in the sector yet last year just thirty four ships use the passage nothing compared to the eighteen thousand vessels passing through the suez canal annually this area still to hold a third of our planet's oil and gas reserves which makes the northern sea route the most efficient way to supply western europe and china with fuel team for an metals so the move the arctic ice that melts and the more gas from ross now a lot of tech luke will and the all those drill here the soon of the cargo ship can take advantage of this once frozen sea passage and become a real alternative to this where can all that help a core business are to the arctic russia's energy regulators consider
