talk and smile on the other hand and mike in the back that's basically what's happening in syria all of this blather about negotiations with the outside regime is no more than that either they would like to see regime change although as usual i don't think washington has caught up with the consequences that is to say that there is a real danger that al-qaeda like forces will be coming to power sooner rather than later into it and then washington will be faced with a replay of what if helped engineer in afghanistan where it helped engineer the coming to power of the taliban which opened the door to gain influence there which led to the tragedy of september eleventh two thousand and one think the nation was surrounding the conference is also in full swing west amaziah outlets have racing to brain damascus for their lion's share of the killing while often turning a blind eye to rebel atrocities such as inconsistency has infuriated some syrians

as a kind of like a pool. right now we're seeing a story joining the camp when a japanese journalist travelling with syrian rebels converted to islam it wasn't just his old name he abandoned. most but for those around him he still being someone who become political he became one of the. camera hiding places where i come back. my religious conversion of ground is rare on the syrian front lines becoming political disciples on one side of the rebels is almost the norm for many reporting to the world in the past week of coverage c.n.n. has the earth five exactly just from the syrian frontlines people all detailing the plight of those fighting the government and while the regime has always come down to use of force against the militants is a government onslaught killings by the rebels barely get a mention what happened to the guy you capture this room he died the rebel

commander says god willing he went to hell usually open and talkative syrians are now afraid of cameras those who agree to be interviewed often ask for their faces or names not to be shown for fear of reprisals the satellite dishes or household commodity syrians do watch western coverage of the conflict and many feel that their concerns that fears the losses are intentionally. but you don't feelings just because you know what this is not really even first time i've been able to come to syria you know why you might want to get away before you did and you don't have a visa. we've been waiting for a visa you know you're sort of there with them to get these are the usual claim that the syrian government doesn't let western reporters into the country is not accurate currently there are around eighty foreign media outlets accredited in syria a sizable number of them european or american but there dispatches are not always

welcome to tall. is an independent belgian writer. the beauty of india want to bring a certain about syria. the evil tree the use of force or selective editing is hardly a new invention the war war's has long become a cliche but in syria one sided coverage keeps the war going and shooting for t.v. really killed journalism schools no longer teach their students to be objective it's considered impossible rather they are told to strive for balance and integrity and to put humanistic values above. but syria is once again a special case in this bloody conflict western media rarely calls for rick affiliation or political dialogue rather it's for arming the rebels and for the war also known as freedom fight to go on some of the artsy reporting from syria that's

coming up here announcing a few minutes announce a new trend. it's not a bombshell interview if you're going to be the driver of the politicians who are out to feel the country will look at this point of anti immigrant i'm going to germany and investigate what's behind it. all extradition or asylum the phase of the you can make sex a jew that sounds turns into bonds but critics saying u.s. secrecy leaves him in limbo trying to move on this story coming up in about five minutes here on. to members of the russian female punk group percy riot went on trial of monday for staging an antiproton stunt and the competence main cathedral in february hearings last of the week before being a drunk for the weekend i was his trachea grease or poor. throughout the course of the week this trial and its proceedings have been somewhat dominated by the prosecution they've mainly been having the opportunity to call witnesses to the

stand and testimonies been very emotional much of the time she been involving those who are witnessing the events that date back to favoring price a victory for the show the so-called prayer how it was politically motivated but it took place in a very sacred and religious spots the symbolic head of the russian orthodox church as such is offended many of the believers out of fairness have been very outspoken throughout the course of proceedings this week their first and six occasions called all is judged to be over placed on different grounds some of them including that there could be tension facilities the conditions of which they're being detained at the moment amounts allegedly to torture of an upright food access to drinking water and sleep as well they also think the judge isn't allowing them is preventing them from properly cross-examining the prosecution's witnesses so far in this trial so

there's also this issue of trash the art of many human rights organizations international musicians as well calling for the release of pussy riot members and it's been some it's galvanized the international press and most lately we've heard from the president speaking out on this issue. as well i hope the court to rule with a just decision if the bond let's say defiled a sacred place in israel they would have to call police sometimes guys learn from the other one to do these difficulties in attempting to leave your country is really for example you have to be accomplices induced a muslim shrine security wouldn't have enough time to protect them from the public anger. nevertheless i don't think we should judge them too strictly when they're going to what you need some important inclusions themselves anyway the final decision rests with the cult so we're going to deliver. in a sense she calling for some degree of leniency when it comes this trial and perhaps the most controversial part of it so far has been the potential prison

its head demonic control over the entire middle east and this is very important strategically for the us to maintain so while they know that they're very difficult to try if not impossible to try to persuade an autocratic monarchy to become democratic they know this is a drain on the resources and it's only fueling opposition not only in bahrain but the really the entire region because people see. as a hypocritical stance a double standard when they owe for certain reforms in syria while closing their. completely in bahrain. coming up next the art of throwing money out of the window find out how much washington way through them and kind of account for waft a cash earning to reckon strapped you're wrong and i've got it down. and making

a tough call arab israelis can prove find themselves called out for the army of risk being branded as straight. that's later but now the talks punished judge who's now representing julian assange has said he has information to suggest proceedings in washington are advancing to have his client extradited client extradited for spilling u.s. secrets a songe fears he will face store trial and even execution if deported are his lawyer believes the case is politically motivated the weekly leaves edited to graph eugenic what was embassy in london over six weeks ago breaking his bail terms to request asylum he's wanted in sweden over sex crime allegations which he denies he says they are a pretext to hunt him over to the u.s. to face trial over leaking secret cables you know while they were still blowers mother christina songe met ecuador's president on wednesday for sure the country's decision will not be influenced by external pressure in the exclusive interview she

told our teacher is proud of his son support him. one is the mother of course i don't know. but is this is this is who did this because we keep. to. the will you got the news of the russian. story. of torture. and all involved in the financial institutions of course he's my son. and you can watch all these exclusive interview with christina songs on our web site home and scott horton from harper's magazine says even if true that is granted asylum he won't be out on the woods. to me it's hard to understand how the ecuadorians are going to play this about even if they decide to grant his request for asylum that doesn't mean he would be able to a walk out of the embassy go to heathrow and fly to ecuador he would still be held

there you don't need be able to transfer out with some sort of consent from the u.k. government and i don't think that will be forthcoming without some sort of agreement from the swedish government so it's diplomatically very very thorny and setting up a scenario in which a doing the song may be a guest in close quarters in the ecuadorian embassy for many years the question with australia is one that's been in the background for many many years in fact if you look through the history of the war on terror you find a number of australian citizens who were seized by the united states who were mistreated some tortured some held in impossible conditions in guantanamo and the australian government was we mark a bully quiet about all of this not really not only not intervening but sometimes attacking their own citizens and i think what's going on there is frankly

a rather surprising attitude on the part of the australian government towards the united states has been see to challenge the us over any issue. right nationalist movements and policies have blossomed in germany along with an uprising have said in its heart some immigrants nationwide and they say it's linked to the growing number of foreign workers being attracted to europe's economic powerhouse but as one of the reports germans should have more reasons to be angry at the government. this sleepy town in saxony seems i however even here right wing extremists have made life hell for people who came to this country to set up businesses mohammed came to this town in the east of germany from pakistan to open a pizzeria pete and those working for him suffered abuse and attacks the hands of local youths on by police every time we called the police and the police came every

time we called them but until now they haven't found anyone they threaten to kill us and now we have a real fear that we cannot continue like this anymore. the pizzeria is now closed after the last attack in early may mohammed explained to me how a group aged between eighteen and twenty five gathered outside the shop near closing time they broke windows and taunted the terrified staff telling them to go home a small explosive device was detonated which fortunately didn't cause any injuries but means the pizzeria is having to undergo an expensive refit. the country saw a rise in extremist violence after reunification in one thousand eight hundred nine followed by an economic slump in the east which caused people to look to the far right and the fascist campaign as a warning that jus to europe's current financial predicament we could see a similar rise again our d. is a problem i think today we have facing developments in the old part of the germany

a lack of jobs leads to helplessness and despair which are the main ingredients the trend is young handsome flour right ideology. there is a belief among activists down the issue of right wing extremism is being ignored by large numbers of the german people. education is only part of this problem of the need citing as a how to pay more attention to it there needs to be more options for cultural integration especially for young people germany's far right national democratic party or n p d a faced calls for them to be banned from politics the n.p.t. say that they are vehemently opposed to any organization carrying out violent attacks and are working with young people to try and educate them and they don't loiter our message to young people who come to our seminars is that it's not the kabab center who is your enemy but rather the politicians who are at the wheel of the country however those words won't reopen mohammed pizzeria his isn't the only

business in this town to face this type of attack. i came here seven years ago from vietnam and i've been to a good choice hughes through in groups through my window years ago night is even germany's robust economy starts to really feel the pinch of the eurozone crisis there are concerns that we could see a good the guns and social problems in the country right here is. the tool of the. general. us to say more than two hundred million dollars were wasted by washington on a police training program in iraq the money was used to build to full citizens in the post conflict country above us ended up being and wanted by the darrent the revelations i had to recruit over food that suggested it is worst kind in vain a went missing during their reckon struction over iraq officials have missed the precise amount to food and waste can never be enough huge sums are reportedly also

being squandered on rebuilding and another country big u.s. invaded afghanistan and on to walk to the chase and it says washington's quick to spend money abroad without thinking. in afghanistan we've got the same problems we have an iraq but we also have the problems of government corruption being much worse throwing money at it with very little idea where it's going to go or if those programs are going to be successful is it is just a recipe for that money being stolen or wasted or just disappearing a lot of these programs that just sort of get added ad hoc to say the occupation in iraq or the occupation in afghanistan the administration will come up with something that they think is the reason why the war is going so well and they'll throw some money at that and very rarely do they ever consider it if that program is even needed or wanted so hundreds of millions of dollars don't waste it. some of

the news stories in brief for you this hour a suicide bombing at a funeral has left at least forty two people dead and more than thirty injured in yemen the southern city of jar that time reportedly targeted local militia men who had been fighting with the on me during the offensive against al qaida insurgents this year the blasts came only hours after a u.s. drone attack killed five suspected members of the islamist militant group in the country's east. egypt's president mohamed morsi has praised the army for its role in the run up to his presidency in his speech before hundreds of troops and. his was mocking attempts to compromise with the military to control after the ousting of president mubarak last year the general still hold legislative rights and powers to draft the country's constitution which they granted themselves just hours after the presidential elections in. at least two new zealand soldiers and two

security officials have been killed in central afghanistan the new zealand troops had arrived on the scene to assist local security forces engaged in shootout was suspected at surgeons this comes a day also they are going to panamint hostile vote of no confidence in the country's difference and interior minister. is blaming the government for multiple security slips in the country. so the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in africa for an eleven day marson across the continent which kicked off on tuesday in senegal promoting democratic values and washington's commitment to partnerships with african nations were highlighted as the key objectives many analysts believe washington's concern of a china's growing influence on the continent is pushing the obama administration towards action clinton warned of the consequences of striking foreign business deals that take advantage of the continent's vast natural resources while she never directly mentions the asian economic giant in her statements beijing was quick to

hit back saying it's not all washington's business and so the pan african newswire they only as a key witness as the secretary of state made it blatantly clear though she was trying a. little clinton went to africa last year she expressed some trepidation about the growing relationship between africa and the people's republic of china but it appears as of most of the states in africa i have a very positive view of the burgeoning relationships between the african states and china and i think this is something that's very very frustrating for the united states the u.s. has been heavily depended upon that comes from various parts of africa there has been huge discoveries just recently both. in east africa off the coast of east africa. these of course. new opportunities for the

people's republic of china to enter into economic partnership with africa and because of the economic crisis in the united states it's going to pose a challenge to the u.s. state department i don't believe that hillary clinton is going to be successful and discouraging this growing relationship between africa and china in fact she may bring about some resentment for involving herself in the internal affairs of africa and africa's relationship with china. arab israelis have been exempt from having to serve in the israeli defense forces could now find themselves summoned to the military but those eager to join the forces risk being branded as traitors as are his policy of appalls. a monument to israel's fallen look more closely and you will see many of the names are of arab soldiers fighters who joined an army that many of their breath when here call the enemy home here but in meetings like this across the country the mood is changing most arab israelis are saying no to being drafted

into the israeli defense forces the issue is up for debate as israel will views current military draft laws that allow orthodox jews and arabs to avoid national service. the israeli military wants to make a serve not because they need us and because we want to control the arab state of mind and divide us. in time for the army generals who call a party in ages and against whom will they fight against our arab and palestinian brothers. but remarkably some arabs actually choose to serve in the last two years those volunteering for the i.d.f. doubled to four hundred. i volunteered because this is my home away and i don't have another land and i live here and so i feel it's my responsibility to contribute to the country and that they were right about them all of their supers two brothers also serve an idea if it means their family has been branded traitors people who have sold out to the enemy for money. i'm not

a traitor i am an israeli arab i think it's high time that the arabs of israel shoulders some of the responsibility and volunteer for the army and i'm not saying there's no races no liberation but chill me a country that's perfect. the i.d.f. is working hard to recruit from the ranks of the country's one and a half million arabs one of the recruiters is colonel ram is made from the druze my not. so. when the idea is composed of the full spectrum of israeli citizens we just becomes a more moral army but the issue of culture is very significant we are so cool disconnecting the soul just from their culture and immersing them in another culture which is really integration is difficult. but the voices of criticism from within the arab community are loud not in a shift since the i.d.f. is an occupying force and those arabs who choose to serve in that cross the line. of the world n.y.u. . i mean doesn't go like this

a vast majority of our community sees a. bad thing to do. with the town or city to expire on august the first arab israelis and ultra-orthodox jews who until now have been exempt from military service may find themselves forced to do so regardless of their beliefs each israeli prime minister has said to the arab community first serve in the army and then you will be treated as equals but arab israelis are asked what kind of equality is it when regardless of whether they serve in the army or not israeli jews will always be more equal than them r.t.e. television. and right now let's cross over to sporting and he has asked you to know neil to find out also ahead and his olympic of days which is less than twenty minutes away so either you know i've heard russia is opening ceremony flag bearer had a big day on saturday right she surely her reassure of her winning silver which of

course is an achievement in itself but a big loss in the ladies' singles final two streamer williams wasn't possibly the best way to do it only winning one game mr up over there was one of four so i won bronze on the day twenty. goal twenty three goals and were up for grabs so you know five medals wasn't great but there's a big week of action ahead sports. i had as well in around fifteen minutes time ok looking forward to the u.n. thank you very shortly we question the concept of the good life is dying out in america but i'll be back with a recap of the headlines. nuclear

. radioactive fallout of government betrayal. and claude how can the truth be revealed if there's no official evidence there was

a very bright day to the servicemen concerned who were given no problem protection and to the people of this country generally because of radio like the fall of. the secrets of the tests.
