a story about syrian rebel syrian militants complaining about an increasing influx of foreign jihadists forand radicals within own brands them multiple reports of pakistani of gunnies fighters operating on the syrian frontlines and their units are usually far better up where and far better armed than those of the syrian born rebels as far as their goals are concerned they usually talk about the creation of syria based islamic caliphate that will be based on shared rear law now what met many western observers fail to realize is that these radical groups are fighting the assad government not because of its poor democratic record but why it's to the contrary because it is perceived as way too atheist way too liberal way too secular and vision of syrian future would be far more

constrained in terms of social religious personal freedoms than what syria has at the moment now apart from these armed groups syria also has domestic political opposition people who don't accept the use of force the use of terror for advancement of their political goals and many of them are now trying to distance themselves from the armed groups now there is a growing sense here in syria especially among people who describe themselves as pro position that they are now being increasingly forced to choose between the two evils and that the government that they are still committed to ousting may eventually prove to be a much less harmless and much more acceptable of turnitin than the forces that are now trying to unstated at some point the artsy reporting from damascus we'll check out of sanest witter stream for more firsthand reports analysis and images from the . now washington which is openly backing the syrian opposition has refused to rob

outside world until being rescued by police or does it work is going off reports from the scene of a disturbing discovery. three people in just one square meter this police footage shows the shocking conditions members of this isolated religious group have been living in for years up to seventy people all cramped in a small country house on the outskirts of men women the elderly and more than twenty children most of whom have reportedly never seen daylight as both leashed children were living in south in the basement right in the sile under the house it looked kind of like an eight story and hill shocked by what they found the authorities began taking the kids outside in order to take them to doctors most of them are still being examined while their parents demand they be left alone. the children are terrified and after everything that's happened they're afraid of what

can be done to them despite being in need of urgent medical help some of the adults had to be talked into allowing doctors to see them. one woman had a miscarriage so a doctor had to treat her right there at the scene it took a lot of effort to convince her she needed his help with this act is around twenty years old its founder is eighty five year old for that. he proclaimed himself a prophet almost fifty years ago and is now too weak to get out of bed his followers believe only in the koran rejecting all other religions and even movements within islam and the police found them while investigating a recent terror attack in the city they also found around a thousand religious books and hand written texts which are now being examined for possible extremist content but sect members appear to be defiant about their way of the way that you are fighting against ally himself the authorities have already opened several criminal cases involving senior members of the sect and the fate of

the children is yet to be decided plans are also being drawn up to rehang sect members who are allowed to film and sign. did any of the groups or members agreed to speak with us on camera but off camera the man that i spoke with said that around forty people remain on their territory they do expect the authorities to try to take everything down but he claims that they are going to resist even if they bring a court order since they don't recognize their own story and neither do we recognize the authority of muslim leaders or do they recognize the existence of the state or any country altogether. you're going to school of. later this hour it's never too late or is it less starts to clean up the effects of its chemical weapons we have now washington's reluctance to admit its mistakes as blame for generations of the foreign babies. and employed full poverty low

wage earners accuse the british government of leaving them on the breadline however hard they work. the us department of justice has literally put a price on the lives of iraqis private security firm previously known as blackwater notorious for the killing of seventeen iraqi civilians has been fined seven and a half million dollars for gun smuggling and will avoid further prosecution scott horton from harper's magazine says the u.s. government never plans for a proper trial. the amount that's being paid is a real pit this is and as these things go generally this is an absolutely tiny some on the other hand we've got this way blackwater is not completely out of the woods yet what they got here was a deferred prosecution agreement that is they have time to persuade the justice department not to prosecute the justice department gets an extension in the statute of limitations period to continue its investigation but that being said these sorts

of agreements aren't entered into unless the government thinks dismissal that is non-prosecution is a probable outcome so obviously blackwater has got to be delighted with this we get a really deep view into the way blackwater was conducting business around the world and its provision of arms and sophisticated communications equipment to other governments and not quite governments and one thing that comes out these papers is that a lot of this is being done and a very very close relationship with the united states remember blackwater is a principal contractor for the department of state and it appears in many of these dealings and department of state is opening the door for clark water and helping blackwater sell its services. egyptian government is shutting down smuggling tunnels across its border with gaza after sixteen of its soldiers were killed in clashes in the region since the start of the egyptian revolution militancy has seen

a sharp rise in the sinai area which also borders israel artie's policy looks at what gazans stand to lose if the tunnels are closed. these tunnels have been operational for civil use ever since gaza was first put under blockade back in two thousand and six for many gazans they are essentially the only lifeline they have with the outside world and that's why you'll hear many gazans saying that they feel that they were living in a massive prison we're talking here about everything about goods about items about people even food and fuel that all smuggled through this extensive underground network of tunnels into gaza has voiced its suspicions that some of the militants who were involved in sunday's deadly attack were smuggled through these tunnels from egypt into gaza but it is still a highly unusual move to seal off the tunnels particularly under the presidency of the new egyptian president mohammed morsi who's muslim brotherhood party has close ties to hamas which rules the gaza strip what's more morsi has said that he is

committed to improving the lives of ordinary palestinians now i've been down some of these tunnels and i can tell you that i've seen everything possible even i saw because it was still fully intact i saw huge were for generators and even people the tunnels are a massive made what everybody is somehow connected to everyone else and the people on top of the ground know what's going on underneath the ground they stay in constant contact they also noted sometimes by the egyptian security personnel who are outside the tunnels on the egyptian gaza border. policy are reporting there there is more on the situation in egypt on our website as well as lots of other stories putting a big factor in a brand new prototype of nasa spacecraft has a barbie. started steps phase crashing to earth a fiery explosion. plus you have heard versus whistle blowers and a new group calling itself and i'm being claimed responsibility for series of

attacks on the we can be swept aside the two could down for days. you know 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 that everything you thought you knew you don't know. are welcome to the big picture. well. it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered.

the u.s. is teaming up with its arab allies to build a missile to fan system across the persian gulf washington says the plan to deploy raiders in the united arab emirates and qatar is to guard against a possible attack from iran the u.s. already has a vast presence in the region and this map shows iran surrounded by american military bases and installations psoriasis have a poor old brick and independent researcher and writer believes a hypothetical threat from tehran is a pretext for further expansion and a key strategic area. america believes and realigning its forces to better control and dominate the world and i think there's perhaps and it means the cooperation of the countries involved and i and i think that iran being made into

a threat has allowed the arab countries to cooperate with america big because really they rely on america for their internal securities and which which actually is an important point here because the internal security is of some things countries are now in jeopardy and with every base that america creates with every missile defense shield all patriot missile everything that it exports to any given country it has personnel going with it so one has to question whether these are to calm down the potential threats that might arise in countries that have always supplied america with the oil it needed and soldiers or whether it's actually for. any wider purpose. our to discuss washington's foreign policy with green party u.s. presidential candidate jill stein she believes it's actually harmed the country

here's a preview of what's coming up next hour. this world police policy is bankrupting americans we're spending about a trillion dollars a year on the military industrial security complex that budget has roughly doubled over the last ten years and we are certainly not more secure for it we spent trillions of dollars in the air. when we withdrew from iraq how did we do it we withdrew from iraq in the dead of night at a secret undisclosed date because we were afraid that we would be ambushed in the process how many friends exactly did we make in this war what kind of a stable democracy did we make in iraq you know iraq continues to teeter on the brink of a civil war. working hard in britain doesn't mean avoiding poverty millions of low wage earners say

they're barely surviving and some accuse the government of slashing welfare while cutting taxes for the rich are just laura smith reports. single mom mary lauren has always worked but despite that as a school dinner lady making just above the minimum wage she's kloster among the millions of working pole with my wages my. tax credits and my child benefit points of course that mean per month in my outgoing i'm going for the twenty five to thirty pounds a week and that's for clothes birthdays christmas. and that with nothing left for emergencies or savings mary worries about five year old alfie growing and more expenses he gets older and she. just one of a staggering seven point nine million adults living in poverty in the u.k. sixty percent of work recent figures show that in modern britain having

a job is not enough to lift people out of poverty and government cuts to creating a perfect storm for people like mary as the state's approach to reducing britain's budget is by slashing welfare and services not by increasing taxes to sticks the poorest tend to hit thirteen times hardest thing in the richest and that's partly because people rely on the services they don't have any other option and it's partly because incomes of the people in poverty is so low to start with that if you take out one of the services away from them the number isn't a much bigger part of what they need to get by the government says it wants to make work pay but those assurances ring increasingly hollow when the big worry is is that the government. policy about helping people into the work program and making work pay through universal credit. with the births were in the world the success of both depends on the state of labor market and the big problem here is that i would

walk because the reason i'm a poor. mary relies on those tax credits all relieved to help her make ends meet and she's recently got into debt do you feel that you think you're also. saying then. and she has a message for prime minister david cameron when you think of the people that are on the lower wage not the ones that are on a highway which. you know we've got to survive and have a life. and a life isn't working monday to friday and that's all you do you know so she wouldn't get young children i saw him out in the paper the other day with his wife and children to a park. to take her for granted but for some of us. that's a treat. so there are a trait properties about material deprivation but it's also about feeling excluded

from mainstream society and experts all due that chopping the welfare budget now will have an impact on poor families that will last well into the future with deep and lasting effect on british society laura smith. almost four decades after the end of the vietnam war the us has started to clean up the toxic chemical agent orange it was used as a weapon during the conflict and its health effects continued long after causing deformities to hundreds of thousands of people war veteran talk a lot so believes there has been a history of denial in washington over the damage caused. i really don't think the united states government nor the manufacturers of orange ever really wanted to admit any fault guilds and in fact in this day the manufacturers of it are i'm sure refuse to admit any older in any purchase a patient other than they were following the orders of the united states government and the military that generational effect is on and on well into the third

generation as i said approaching the fourth generation and we have no idea how long this is going to continue so it could be too late but i see the devastation every day. i live in the nagging which has one of the major hot spots in our. entire nation here. i see the handicaps i see the form of these. attend the funerals of the. former military as well as the senate they were in orange and now we're well into their generation and going into the fourth generation of the effects of that you know arms and people are going to be going to get sick and die as a result of the. explosion during the war and there's no law there's no relief in sight. now second look at some of the stories from around the world libya's general

a movie theater during the opening night of the latest batman movie twelve people were killed and fifty eight wounded in the incident. all right turning out to the world of business and it dimitri well we've got bad news the things are now improving for us for the second largest economy in the world china so how bad is it was probably not as disturbing as those pictures we were just showing from vietnam but it is pretty bad news because anything which indicates a slowdown and a faster than expected slowdown for the chinese economy is extremely bad news for everyone because this means that the chinese economy could be heading to a hard landing as opposed to a soft landing and that means a quick stop of growth acceleration rates very low rates now the world's economic powerhouse is losing steam as china is reporting a surprise drop in trade as the country's july exports grew just one percent from the year ago period while traders anticipated eight percent and imports expanded by

only four point seven display expectations of a seven percent increase now this is led to a basic selloff a mild sell off though on the asian markets this take a look with the nikkei and the hang seng dropping within one percent at this hour now among other news consumer goods. is losing twenty percent in hong kong as its operating profit dropped twenty two percent despite never profit increasing by around the world now japan's a little operations also dropping three percent after posting more freefall widening its roots in the battle. over on the commodities market we're also seeing a sell off well with traders choosing to sell the black gold after that. from china which basically makes them think about shrinking potential demand for oil in the world's second largest economy and the largest consumer energy.
