glad to have you with us washington and turkey are weighing up bringing in a no fly zone over syria as well as a getting ready for worst case scenarios including use of chemical weapons by the assad regime u.s. foreign policy chief hillary clinton has pledged a further five and a half a million dollars in aid to syrian rebels during a visit to turkey it brings total funding for the opposition to eighty two million since the conflict began last year in east unbolt clinton received a far from warm welcome riot police clashed with turkish anti-war activists from a leftist party trying to reach the building where she was to meet prime minister at the one officers responded with buttons and tear gas injuring at least five people. recently stepped up threats to use force in syria if it feels threatened from across the border while western states are stepping up plans for a post assad syria journalist don de bar says that by supporting the rebels that they are only adding to the violence. there's been some discussion of the
10:02 pm
possibility of a so-called black ops chemical attack where some of the u.s. agent forces that are on the ground in syria fighting the government would launch a chemical attack and attempt to lay the blame for that on the syrian government i think that's a real possibility to a very dangerous game to play you on the one hand creating an enemy that has no state time is really isn't almost silent anywhere and that just is highly weaponized very angry and extremely religious the conduct of the war against the government on the soil where the syrian people live obviously cannot bring peace to the syrian people it's intended to provoke a response from the government to the government has the choice of either not responding and allowing armed terrorists to blow things up to blow up their troops and to blow up and execute civilians all of which has been happening or to fight back which of course means that there are parts of the cities that get bombed and
10:03 pm
there are people that are displaced these two choices are what are being presented by american policy in syria. the u.n. chief has backed the presence of international monitors in syria which would provide an impartial means of assessing the situation on the ground the observers extended mandate expires in less than ten days with a veteran algerian diplomat touted to become the new u.n. and arab league envoy after kofi annan quit hears artie's peter oliver. 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 un as the
10:04 pm
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 but are he means personal life in his personal contacts we might see a different approach from him brahimi is 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 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 focusing our attention focusing his attention on speaking to the rebels
10:05 pm
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 me the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria. qatar has reportedly tried to bribe the syrian ambassador and allegedly promising a one million dollars and political asylum in exchange for defecting the syrian diplomat is thought to have it turned down the offer calling it flagrant interference in syria's internal affairs middle east history and politics professor jeremy salt says gulf nations are using their huge financial clout to help topple the government of president assad what about the gulf states is they have any supplies money. to buy people out and this is the first question that should be asked of all these defectors and how much they pay you how much do you get and there must be some kind of sliding scale i mean what is the ambassador worth what is a foreign minister worth what is a kind of
10:06 pm
a low level represented mauritania worth i mean he was reportedly been given offered one million dollars plus twenty thousand dollars a month for the next twenty years which you know is pretty good but one would imagine that people would be offered even more than we know what the beginning of this whole purchase move in the qatar is a bribe. the foreign minister tried to buy him out he refused he just rejected their offer so it's very kind of important pops i mean anyone who's now high up in the syrian government if they want to kind of defect they're going to get a lot of money for sure and they can go live in doha which might not be to have one's taste but they will certainly get a lot of money if they turn their backs on their own governments. well coming up on our fall out from the revolution. gives a few remaining jews who fear ask leading threats from of the country's new leadership as cairo's relations with israel soured even further. keeping the internet safe and free but is it really possible to achieve both we investigate in

a few minutes. washington says it has the visibility inside iraq's nuclear program confident it will know if you run moves towards building a bomb the remarks looked to be directed at israel which warned earlier that the international community might not realize in time to prevent iran from acquiring a weapon israeli media suggests that the country could launch an imminent strike on iran before the presidential elections in the united states the plans could lead to a rift between the allies as the u.s. insists that tightening economic sanctions is enough a new law signed on friday prohibits american entrepreneurs from doing business with the iranian oil sector and also shipping and insurance companies are to use on associate your credit reports. according to a major daily israeli newspaper the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister would like to strike iran as early as before the u.s. presidential elections taking place in november this year now amid escalating media
10:08 pm
reports and expert predictions that such an attack could in fact be around the corner the peepers front page article on friday offered by its senior commentators and reportedly based off of conversations with israel's defense minister says that if it were up to benjamin netanyahu and his minister of defense israel would cause 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 continues. 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
10:09 pm
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 but he's an associate you're going to reporting for us there from the united states now remember there are always more stories for you at our to dot com here is a look at what you can find there right now. and shocking to find it during a special operation in central russia the police discovered a bunker full of cult members and dozens of children that spent ten years in underground cells without daylight. plus social media thrill seekers are paying the price for playing up to the camera another fatality from the craze for posting pictures of dangerous stunts online. wealthy british style

say the bill is on par even weaker than what's on the books elsewhere but for online activists countries like the u.s. or britain are case studies in how not to regulate the web you can see the different countries use different tactics whether it's copyright laws or cyber security laws or just using national security as an excuse to go after for a screech crease speech may be enshrined in america's constitution but in a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists and suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the keystrokes of u.s. citizens are increasingly under suspicion if you see something say something according to these f.b.i. flyers anyone with a passing interest in personal data security could be a potential terrorist report suspicious activity before the war. crime detection may be the stuff of fiction the homeland security department is considering
