3:01 am
joining us for us this string of coordinated bomb attacks in iraq have had more than a dozen cities and killed over one hundred people was 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 all she's going to check on looks not what this 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 based al-qaeda leader also warned the syrian rebels quote not to accept any rule or constitution but god's will and for. islamic law otherwise quote you
3:02 am
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 in 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 away and 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 consider. 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
3:03 am
really don't think they factored it in at all everything the united states did lead to where we are where they are erected a 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 that these factors like that into consideration here for the lessons of iraq the lessons of iraq are there for all the world to see michael o'brien thank you sir. there is terrible violence going on in syria and it is now an all out civil war there. war against military intervention there remind how
3:04 am
divided syria is between different ethnic groups really just communities it's a politic karega sensually 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 for the us carried out regime change their civil 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 obvious presence of terror groups. 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 all secure they'd never be used in the current internal conflicts oh she's a ton of oil brings us the details from damascus. monday's news conference here in damascus foreign ministry spokesman did mean that syria indeed possesses chemical
3:05 am
weapons something that nonproliferation experts have suggested all along and that the syrian authorities have a number forwardly the nine 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 long suggested that they need some sort of deterrent against israel 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 a missile capabilities to delivery of those weapons those chemicals 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
3:06 am
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 threat 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 concert of the fourth 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 to goree can we deny these press conferences and damascus and
3:07 am
monday the foreign ministry spokesman says that no chemical or biological weapons will ever be used during the crisis in syria no matter what developer has inside syria he also said that all of these speculations are part of a major media can be to prepare international public opinion for military intervention in syria how did it pulls pretext of weapons of mass destruction similar to the one that toppled saddam hussein. hundred mark and author and radio talk show host dr kevin barrett believes the international media is hyping up the chemical weapons to pave the way for possible external action this does remind us so the focus 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
3:08 am
with the intention of having a false flag events in syria to be blamed the government and it seems that perhaps that's what's in the currents it may be that there is a and attempt to pave the way for this by preparing public are in for the idea that this evil syrian regime uses chemical weapons. and of course can always get our days on this iteration in syria by following the tweets of our news team there to help our respondents acts on avoid causing the massacres and currently she's describing how life in they see when the capital is getting back to normal and one of the signs of that is they return the traffic jams what she says is actually encouraging after days of empty roads please follow her son a boy underscore. egypt is allowing palestinians free entry to his territory in a landmark move ending part of a long time blockade on gaza it was imposed by israel with the help of egypt five
3:09 am
years ago after hamas took control of the palestinian territory but with the president from the muslim brotherhood now leading egypt the move is widely seen as a friendly gesture to hamas an offshoot of the brotherhood which operates independently middle east correspondent. 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
3:10 am
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 b. israeli defense forces by exercises that and carry out 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

criticism that these surveillance drones are going 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. there's always more news and comment available anytime you want to now website which is all t dot com until more analysis of the turks transparency report reveals the world's ultra rich praising of a twenty one trillion dollars in optional hay but. also to call a grim discovery in russia's year olds almost two hundred out of the cheek human embryos would die in a forest and later discovered by target helen paul at all cheadle called.

3:24 am
one hand b.p. had some influence initially which wasn't making they are bad now they are trying to put some additional pressure and that is not making b.p. pay and so clearly one of the two has still give away anything. it seems to us that you know b.p. and. sees russia as a very strategic and long time place also for russian government it is hard to imagine that they would want such be experienced major to leave for russia so we do things to be in the russian government would be would find some mutual interests. together. all right is going to the russian markets and see how they're performing in the initial stages of the day the r.t.s. that does just three basis points demises around two tenths of a cent in negative territory they did open up in the black in the positive but it's a change of fortunes already it's going to be
