reservations about militarizing a humanitarian effort britain and france warned they could completely bypass the un if the conflict meanwhile the new international envoy to syria. said. any intervention would end all peace efforts professor paul sheldon foote from california state university fullerton believes that for some it's not about ending the violence. that's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the country years seeing the united nations as your vehicle their playbook worked in libya they want to try the same playbook and no it doesn't work anymore well there is no desire. where near a negotiated settlement the old purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for life or even searches by way of syria iran and other places i think that people in the west to be very happy that ended up with a massive civil war and a breakup of their country is the lack of competition of life where. they claim

that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross war two more bomb blasts have had to mask is going off almost simultaneously near the headquarters of the joint chiefs of staff state t.v. says four people were injured in the explosions the number of bomb attacks some of which have been claimed by al qaeda have grown sharply in recent months they are said to be sowing panic among residents of the capital and across the country fuelling the exodus of refugees and artie's policy or reports what they find when they escape often makes them wish they'd never left. exhausted and drained there's not much for these refugees to do besides swelter under the scorching desert sun sheltering from the vine and spec home in syria they walked for days in the heat to get here and so they come in numbers and under the wire not one person here has gone through the official boards in state depending on the level of violence in syria as many as a thousand people each day

cooperation but it could backfire armenia. if there is regime change in syria and the extremists come to power. problems for jordan where we have our own extremists far more flexible. and so now jordan faces the backlash of a conflict which some in the country have helped to escalate meanwhile more than one hundred fifty thousand refugees remain stuck on its borders and what's supposed to be a safe enclave but we food is hard to come by toilets case and not enough tends to go around leaving some to the mercy of harsh desert conditions. the atmosphere here is so. mysterious you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped a wave of uprisings that swept the arab world it says it's getting reforms in place bash caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the serious shockwave

however that conflict in. zante refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border with the pressure on syria piling up france is increasingly being seen as a leader of the west's efforts against assad but director of the french center for intelligence studies eric denise says french policies on syria depend on a steady stream of one sided reporting. i would say we don't really have. the time being i mean the mainstream in paris is in motion everything is about emotion we are absolutely end of the disinformation of movies. and then i read that and the people are reacting only with motion we don't have a nice good reflection about jill politics and the room we have to be in in the middle east even if the political leaders that change you know a few months ago most of the scene with most of the diplomatic teams the same

princes know the new luxury of the u.s. like the u.k. has always been this is where the. good between us and france because we are doing their. selective reporting however isn't just limited to france earlier this week there was another glaring example a story about how rebels were caught using a blindfolded prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber disappears from the mainstream airwaves the latest in a series of such reports that were quickly shelved see that next hour right here on our to. also with us begins publishing millions of leaked syrian government e-mails and blasts what he calls the transit national surveillance empire that is taking over the developing world. iran's nuclear ambitions have won some powerful backing as one hundred twenty countries voiced their approval of peaceful atomic research in the country this was the key point in a unanimously adopted resolution that wrapped up a nonaligned movement summit in tehran the us and israel have been left reeling by

the success of the gathering that comes as a new i report suggested iran has significantly enhanced its nuclear capacity but the document was rejected by tehran as politically motivated there was another blow for israel and its western allies when the un chief ban ki moon attended the summit he condemned of their persistent aggressive rhetoric and threats of a strike on iran mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran says it's ironic that the u.s. has forced iran to launch an atomic program. the iranians first of all they believe that they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as is now accepted international law the united states and israel to to a large extent are terribly embarrassed about the fact that the nonaligned movement summit has gone off as a tremendous success the. a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a.

is always led by us produced think tank individuals like eldora di or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law iran plans to return its oil exports to the levels they were out before july ban and in achieving that tehran expects help from its engine partners japan india and china have been regular customers of iranian crude despite the current sanctions author and a journalist believes the nonaligned movement summit has shown the world real feelings towards iran the united states and nature do not want any of or. to remain with. nations it's a great pity and i do hope those companies as major capitals will get increasingly moved frightened by what is happening as the global said comes closer together in

was poor romney said a much tougher stance must be taken toward some countries including russia but critics have questioned much of what was said. comments. mitt romney is now officially barack obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also nations at the republican convention where he accepted his nomination mr romney did not fail to once again highlight his any masorti towards russia he criticized the president for not being hard enough in his view on russia when it comes to missile defense mitt romney says under his administration quote mr putin will see less flexibility and more backbone end of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes

a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for a lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney is flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is this is a joke from the tonight show with jay leno it says actually mitt romney and hurricane isaac have something in common they can both change directions that any moment and another comedian goes obama is like you can be whatever you want to be while romney is like i can be whatever you want me to be there are tons of jokes about mitt romney and his backbone issues apparently one way of showing some

a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was asking for for. what i want to promote himself was not in court but his old scheme was he a really very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but once the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up all the viewing of the general public the murky world of russia's mega rich and what they got up to back in the one nine hundred ninety s. the wild east as we called it back that we're talking about used to have sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash. or of kools five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with new documentation which of course is made this case

a very difficult one to judge it's brought to school building billion ads along with their own megger expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this course area in their shades in a menacing way but he spread his old ski says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that i'm over it intimidates him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact. whenever business partners that he was making payments to better but they were only for political protection. roof in russian but as he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two from that this is been one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been. hundreds and resulted in millions. of legal so we've had

criticized the decision fearing the case sets a dangerous precedent that will allow israel's defense. with impunity. journalist dale with. claims sure the driver killed her on purpose. just pointing out on the basis of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three. knox that in my view i told the coach and as i told the. bulldozer driver. drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see. both that took place just before she was crushed and she was on the mound of trying to escape so in my mind it's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen i'm. going to treat. such crimes and that culture.
