say they are preparing a counter attack to regain ground on the country's second city of aleppo after being pushed from a cave destroyed by government forces they syrian army is said to be throwing more time with strikes at the frontline there are also reports of bombing and gun find the capital damascus the feistiness increase the number of refugees fleeing the city and the conflict torn speight the rebels are pleading for more foreign aid whether britain promising nearly eight million dollars worth of new equipment that syrian activist. says there's little transparency to the deal for. a turkish member of the parliament so that ambulances used to clear wounded persons from inside syria into turkey are actually taking. three to inside syria does go back to mr hague statement he said it's communication with communication devices and in order to warn civilians against impeding impending shalrie government attacks whose. to

be warning them are there satellite images that are going to be passed to the ground all those communication devices be released into civilian soil will be sent to rebels and would they be used as they are intended who can guarantee that you can guarantee that body armor is going to be used not to assassinate political opponents in front of t.v. cameras just like what they did with the bird if only you know we need a little bit more transparency with this. the u.n. chief has bugs the presence of international monitors in syria which would provide impartial means of assisting the assessing rather the situation on the ground there service extended mandate expires in less than ten days with a veteran of the. towers to become the new u.n. arab league envoy kofi annan quick and he's asking is peace. it's not a job many people would have wanted you think considering the situation in syria but it's that lakhdar brahimi will be taking over from kofi annan as the next

special envoy on the syrian crisis now the seventy eight year old former algerian foreign minister does have pedigree when it comes to dealing with serious conflicts he was instrumental in forming a peace in the late one nine hundred eighty s. in the lebanese civil war in two thousand and one he was sent by the u.n. as the envoy to afghanistan as the united states invaded the country following nine eleven he was again sent to iraq in two thousand and three for the invasion of that country representing the u.n. on that occasion but it's also interesting to look at what type of an envoy he will be kofi annan had quite openly spoke to both the syrian rebels and the assad government now if we look a little bit at but our personal life his personal contacts we might see a different approach from him but he's daughter a former b.b.c. and c.n.n. correspondent is married to wear one of the sons of the king of jordan. strong
8:04 am
family ties there jordan of course a country that has been linked to the smuggling of weapons and other arms into syria into the hands of the syrian rebels and jordan of course a haven a place of choice for those defecting from the assad government to go so perhaps we could see me focusing our attention focusing his attention on speaking to the rebels as opposed to the way that kofi annan tried to do it with speaking to both the rebels and the assad government but it looks like he will take over from kofi annan so it looks like the next envoy going to be locked up or he the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria. they says washington stepping out plans for a serious pause doesn't feature u.s. foreign policy change hillary clinton isn't tacky and again placed more support for the syrian opposition this visit comes as an carets types of threats to weigh in with force hey if it fails threaten from across the border and analysts. countries

that showing inconsistency by supporting the say when rebels it seems to. be going to turkey just to take note what is the situation after there is the rebel forces of the free syrian army has been defeated you know they oppose it what will be next what next steps are going to be taken and double check with the turks who are playing a very important role in supporting the free syrian army. unit out there at least they are based on principles of justice of the day usually criticize those countries close to the rogue states and sponsors of terrorism but we have seen the free syrian army conducting a terrorist campaign with car bombs partly also with suicide bomb burst political assassinations and that's against the quote three the sense in this case is syria that piece of the united states and the other countries it's a violation of international law. so bring you is going to member of the serial

a military attack on iran sometime within the next several months importantly israel's security cabinet ministers have been resisting such an option for now what's important here is while israel is weighing this option we know of course that iran contin. to insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes exclusively and we have seen the obama administration be careful in urging israel to stick with diplomacy and now of course the big question is whether israel may in fact go ahead with such an attack and whether or not it will wait for a green light from washington importantly experts in this article are quoted to say that if such an attack war to take place before the u.s. presidential elections there this would cause a major embarrassment to barack obama as well as really cast a blow to his success in these elections because as we know his main rival republican mitt romney has never excluded such an option turned remember there are

pre-crime detection may be the stuff of fiction the homeland security department is considering a virtual border patrol which would scan billions of bytes and bits to stop cyber crime before it happens that's like sticking a microphone in everyone's living room so you can listen to all the conversations and what is really bad guys internet freedom advocates help defeat to controversial copyright bills but the u.s. house vote. force private companies like facebook to share personal data with the government and military when it comes to protecting our civil rights and civil liberties we don't usually give government by truck and that's really what these bills have done in a lot of ways across the atlantic britain is on the verge of a web why big brother internet and phone providers are reading black boxes to let the government to monitor every email phone call even as this is the first step to go taken control of the already blocks web pages it deems illegal but under the digital economy act it will soon and copyright violators to the blacklist anyone

8:23 am
actions to most of the most high tech specially. those you know it's intellectual property out there and they don't know the people testing it easy find something wrong with it there's always a constant tension in not just american families that are around the world is that you have food scientists inventing new things freeing flavors and very consistent things like that that go into our food and have other people who say i just don't want this and i'd rather eat whole foods and things that are grown organically or or at least stay in the belief if you think that this search object or you know how our attitude towards changes then we move toward natural food is very big when i was his sixty's and seventy's it's come back now again and people are starting to do things themselves again the room you know the actual bowls and your meat and the cheese and things like that so this is definitely action against industrial food right now but i think it's going to be the next trend in a major way for the next several years cow or that's eaten g.m.o.

corn it's not directly consumed by humans but it's indirect and down the line of things we don't really know what ten years after consuming people find that's something seeds that the government so far has decided these are virtually equal you know the corn g.m.o. and the corn that isn't. really you don't have to test that g.m.o. color because the same organs which i think might disagree. and starting with nutrition well do you prefer seeing cheap and easy falls through you know taking some trouble to keep us have healthy with garlic tentative and resident reporter has been on the streets of new york to see who's came to the lean and green. are you sheep an easy or all organic when it comes to what you eat this week let's talk about that i don't care you don't care so you don't care what you put into
8:25 am
your body you. do. for the expense of organic food i mean it doesn't to me it doesn't really make a difference i actually started juicing this year and i found out about it when i was getting a facial and there's a place called free foods right down that way and they have the best juices i've ever had in my life kale spinach baze all i mean it's like and it's like changing it sounds delicious it's delicious and expensive actually it is expensive but if you think about it a glass of wine is like nine dollars and it costs the same amount why do you think organic costs so much more the regulation at least in finland is really strict on what you can do and how you do it and the crop is smaller so that's the problem doing doesn't that defy logic shouldn't it be cheaper to eat a tomato yeah yeah it should be true that the world we live and yeah i'm a medical doctor if they're that the food is. let's say polluted or or it's not healthy like contains a lot of for

a transfer and so on so on then it can lead to cancer but genetically modified food cannot lead to consummate this nonsense so there's a lot of people that assert it dies why do you think they get away with that but why does the demo have such a bad rap i think it's mainly some kind of propaganda a lot more people are interested to get healthier and other parts of the world so where do you think america falls in that spectrum very well obesity is the number one for kids here is it just a lack of knowledge or do people don't have the money time. we want to sit down for breakfast this morning and healthy just got here could not find everybody's running and grabbing about all the time so you're eating better now morgana act. then i'd imagine him on the straight and narrow or go to the fridge is him three i know mine they might if it is not there you won't need it and that's the best way to daughter whether or not you eat organically the bottom line is you might want to take a minute to consider the old that are at them you are what you eat it's.
