now top story fighting between government and rebel forces continues in syria second city of aleppo with reports of heavy shelling and gunfire casualties reported on both sides with rebels saying the syrian attack helicopters are bombarding the areas some twenty thousand government troops are also said have been dispatched to the city to flush out the opposition fighters in several districts syrian security forces claim they've managed to hold back rebel or tend to take control of several key government facilities the free syrian army said it had captured more than half of the financial hub now in damascus forty eight iranian pilgrims have been kidnapped the iranian embassies consulates chief says quoting is saying the terrorist group sees the pilgrims from a bus on route to the airport but no media reports about their fate and syrian officials are trying to trace the people behind it hundreds of thousands of shiite iranians travel to syria during ramadan. while russia believes the u.n. vote on syria was one sided pressuring only the regime to end the fighting in

moscow the non-binding motion passed by the general assembly does nothing to ease the conflict that. has more from new york. this resolution apart from condemning the security council for failing to move the syrian peace process forward also condemns the syrian government for failing to stop using heavy weaponry as well as condemning the syrian government from now for not withdrawing from civilian areas among the ones that voted against this text was of course russia russia believes that the behind the humanitarian facade of this resolution lies the militarization of the opposition and russia says this resolution is not helpful and that the country supplying weapons to the opposition are well known take a listen it is a this resolution exacerbates the confrontations and solving the syrian crisis it's not helping the sides enter into dialogue find peaceful ways to solve the crisis in

the interests of syrian people this resolution is not how you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the annan plan it undermines the syrian led produces a political resolution. russia believes that this particular text is one sided and balanced as well as the whole idea of pushing the syrian government of stepping down is really an intervention into sovereign affairs six point peace plan remains on the table as coffin steps out of the picture this plan of course called for the creation of the transitional government in syria the idea was to have both sides of the conflict. form this government to hold new elections however the idea of where exactly this would leave assad was left open and now with countries continuing to push for him stepping down it's unclear what's going to happen to the plan we do know that ki-moon is currently in the process of speaking with the arab league trying to find a successor for kofi annan we're going to have to wait and see who that person is

going to be and how that person will handle this particular crisis and of course we also have the you want to serve a mission expiring on august twentieth unclear whether or not it will be extended we will have to wait and see we certainly know that this is something that russia is strongly rooting for. for us america's pledging to fill the void in solving syria which should be left by kofi annan by ramping up his regime change jeffords and rebel support to support a partridge haze he's covering the conflict for news website spiked dot com he told me the people backing opposition fighters ringgold thing syria an even more tragedy i think in general it's being used to try and step up the pressure on both russia and china to start to take a stand against the sides and effectively what it's doing is saying that we disrespect the sovereignty of syria and we don't want the syrian people to determine their own future william hague suggested he's going to offer non-lethal aid he hasn't given specific details of this yet but it does seem like it's going

to be intelligence it does seem like there's going to be an awful lot of support announced for the rebels over the next few weeks and of course this comes just after president obama has announced well it hasn't been announced but it has been revealed that there has been a secret plan basically allow the cia to assist the rebels as well the thing i find very striking about this is that there's a real historical amnesia that's taking place among western leaders where they don't really know who the opposition is there are a lot of concerns about the makeup of it. hardly elements there are a lot of people who the west would not like to be dismissed with their stuff into this mentality that they're drawn to help anyone get into power there drove a sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad's assad has become this bogeyman just like get out before him and they just see we need to get rid of him and everything will be ok it's a naive approach that will do no hope no help at all. still to come the protection is actually keeping americans.

think that was disappointing maybe we would have started something in the u.s. had we gotten. my reason but then you know it doesn't matter experts say it's no coincidence that the rising rejection rates occurred as america's economy tanked but acting on the perceived fear that immigrants were taking american jobs has had the opposite effect it's unfortunate. denials are being made that are justified because what happens if it ends up being an incentive to u.s. companies to locate more resources outside the country and in some ways in ways that might. well u.s. immigration authorities have increased the rejection rate of temporary work visas for citizens of all countries india has been the hardest hit just last year a lot of interest and of indian applicants for a certain type of temporary work were rejected while only around rebirth of applicants from countries like germany and the u.k.

were rejected for the same type of temporary work visa. the other sting in the tail for the states is that by turfing out skilled foreigners it's missing out on big box opportunities that were forged in america's colleges i don't think we would be as effective entrepreneurs here had we not spend a dime in the u.s. a good thing that the time i spend can call the. really helped us in building the company we've been able to snap deal now turns over one hundred million dollars a year the kind of innovation that indian immigrants have long been known for in the united states we found recently that. about half of the top fifty venture funded companies i mean to companies that were started with venture capital had at least one immigrant founder so what we found is that if you keep people out you'll get less job creation and less innovation in the united states jobs america desperately needs cannot employ fifteen hundred people in ten cities

targeting the major city of benghazi. a fireworks factory in central pakistan is exploded this left at least two dead and injured fifteen the resulting fire quickly spread to neighboring houses in a crowded market district police are now scrambling to rescue people from the debris that investigators are looking into how the tragedy started but there's been a crackdown in recent months on pakistan's many illegal fireworks reduces. iran's conducted military exercises its launched a new short range missile that's also pushing to upgrade its missiles which can already target israeli and u.s. bases in the middle east it comes as new tough sanctions are imposed on iran over its nuclear program which it insists is peaceful the west suspects it's aimed at developing an atomic bomb. and while the u.s. weighs into iran over its military ambitions there is one skeleton in the closet seems to been forgotten the iran contra affair was one of the biggest scandals of the reagan presidency in its day revelations that washington had been breaking an

arms embargo on iran and following the end of the capitol hill hearings into the case exactly twenty five years ago president reagan took full responsibility for what he called things he was unaware of but two and a half decades later the full extent of his involvement and his awareness remains unclear the man who broke the story robert perry fears there are still too many details that will never see the light of day. what you saw here was the failure of the institutions of washington to get control of these things there had been an effort in the seventy's after watergate after the exposures of cia abuses to bring some constraints on to this process and then you saw the iran contra scandal it was the first test case really would congress really hold the president to task and and make sure that he couldn't go off in his own direction the institutions of washington failed to both enforce the law suit the law was in force but also in just explaining to the american people what had happened there are still many

sections of this scandal that we don't know the full story about or even a chunk of the story so much of this remains still something outside the historical picture that the american people have been denied we don't really know who did what and why and even how the residents of new york toss whether they have run contra fez one episode which time. western media would have you believe that iran is some sort of evil enemy so do they not remember the iran contra scandal of one thousand nine hundred sixty this week let's talk about that have you ever heard of the iran contra scandal. sorry no i haven't no you haven't i state no i have not heard. something big he know yes yes do you member it was about what was it about you remember.

nuclear weapons i believe iran is but the army going in and trying to go the oil is and it was about all over north was taking the funds from selling arms to iran to use to fund the contras. in. nicaragua you got it and now we make iran out to be the bad guy but here we were exchanging arms with them why do you think the world is ok with that well because america is a hypocrisy do you think that the world knows that this is a hypothesis you. i guess we know a little bit about it but sometimes i find us to be very naive and we are not really enough to wear over everything that's going on out there they were in a war with iraq so you know we were we thought that they were they were the good relative good guy. and iraq was the you know the bad guys you know it's just the

whole it's ridiculous if we change our definition of it who's good and who's bad to suit our needs whenever doesn't that kind of make good and bad relative and meaningless absolutely it's almost thirty years ago so there in thirty years someone can go from being an ally to an enemy well unfortunately that happens yeah so we should probably be more careful with whom we give arms to that is a very good. savation but then again you never know which side of the regime you fall on when you support something and one of the issues of u.s. foreign policy is they've always picked sides which they did in vietnam they did it in other places and sometimes they were successful sometimes they weren't whether or not people remember the iran contra scandal but the bottom line is the media thoroughly seems to have a selective memory that suits whatever methods they'd like to promote. and if human is tonight
