11:02 am
were followed immediately by intensified gun battles and clashes we are also hearing that by all accounts it seems as if the explosions were caused by called bombs now this is not good in birth pride but it does suggest that this is the work of suicide bombers there isn't a binny's newspaper that is reporting that the syrian president bashar assad is in the city of aleppo where he is visiting and seeing firsthand what the battles there have been bringing about and that he's also ordered at least some thirty thousand troops to be deployed it is unusual it certainly is rare that they have been suicide bombings in the city of aleppo there was a bombing back in february in which twenty eight people were killed but most of you know all the suicide bomb bombings have been concentrated in the capital city of damascus and over the past few days and certainly over the past few weeks there has been an intensified number of car bombs exploding where now the rebels have come

i have over two hundred thousand dollars that julian assange supporters pledged to bail him out of a british prison almost two years ago remains unclear that decision supposed to be made out of court hearing this wednesday has been delayed for this following the case and joins us live from london sorrow what was said at the hearing and how did the song supporters respond. well it was supposed to be decision day for that group of julian assange supporters they preserved one hundred forty thousand pounds as a surety when he was bailed back in december two thousand and ten but the judge said that it would be another couple of days before a decision was reached as to whether or not they get that money back now of course as an incredibly complex case in fact there were two groups that put up money back
11:10 am
when julian assange and his extradition case was going on one group provided the art from bail money and previously we discovered that they lost that money that was the two hundred thousand pounds as it has been gone this new group of nine people are keeping very much that the judge who in their favor and say that they can have that money now just to remind fears of the background to this case julian assange is fighting extradition to sweden where he's wanted for sexual assault allegations questioning the sexual assault allegations in that process here in the case fails and we then saw in a very dramatic twist julian a stange claiming asylum seeking asylum from ecuador and he was he was granted that that the u.k. have refused so far to grant him safe passage and so the case continues now we heard today from von smith who is the owner of the frontline club and he's also housed in a silent for a very long time is about thirteen months last year in

a scientist fighting this case in the u.k. he spoke on behalf of all nine people involved in this describing having met julian assange to in the past couple of days what delia sounded said to them he said that he is in good health and is still at the centrally at this point this group no longer have any real influence over what julian assigns does of course they put up the money at the time as a sort of guarantee that julian assange would comply with the conditions that the court has set now this is all surrounding of course is me then. the claim asylum and of course is just a completely exceptional case and this is the point that the court heard today was that you know it was completely unpredicted none of these members could have full seeing that coming but they all very much stood staunchly behind that decision to put the money for even though it's a huge amount of money that they stand to lose between that night as we said one hundred forty thousand pounds is not just. losing money on this at the moment the

thinks it means this week amid unemployment that's while to its highest ever since the eurozone began researcher jerome ruth says the numbers for themselves well it's out of that the state of the economy is absolutely dire and it actually tells us that what these leaders are trying to do through these meetings in these summits is actually aggravating the situation because there are measures that are being imposed the radical structural reforms each of these things is actually aggravating the situation by undermining growth undermining investor confidence in the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain is there is in greece as there is in portugal and if these people were allowed to decide on their own future they would not through the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world is that international lenders through international is the . actually cancel the sovereignty of nations states in order to ensure full repayment of the debt i think everything that they're trying to do ultimately is

made by financial market panic and what they're not seeing is that you cannot beat the financial markets unless you're willing to take a stand and say that we repudiate part of that and we move on and we set our own priorities britain maybe and a few years away from a general election but the battle lines are already being drawn the labor party leader ed miliband has used a keynote speech to try and sway voters casting himself as the champion of the working class even though he's struggling with a reputation as a career politician from a posh background as laura smith now reports he showed plenty of politics but very few policies. ed miliband told the labor party conference about his childhood as the son of jewish refugees who fled the nazis and his school days at a london comprehensive which he says enabled him to get on with people from all walks of life his ultimate goal though to differentiate himself from david cameron and his chancellor george osborne who have been branded from within their own party

as to push boys who don't know the price of milk but in reality just how different is ed miliband his father was a socialist intellectual and his upbringing in highbrow north london circles is worlds away from the lives of most british workers he went to oxford and has never had a proper job outside politics apart from a teaching post at harvard's this speech was full of bluster about the call me the police the wonder of the lympics an ephemeral vision for britain some might say that's because policies are few and far between he said still so it's how the banks make sure companies pay a fair wage and support the national health service but the main announcement of the speech was a promise that if elected label instigate a massive increase in food cake tional education focusing on the fifty percent of young people who don't go to university
11:19 am
a great idea youth unemployment is around twenty percent at the moment but there was no mention of the all important cost and how it would be met miliband has admitted that if labor was in power they'd be making austerity cuts too but he's refused to give any detail until after elected more than anything miliband has tried again to cost himself as a man of the people but many are saying that if he wants the people to listen what he really needs to do is not talk about himself the seemingly endless anecdotes about his childhood and his family. seriously i did in detail about the country and probably. more war world news for you this hour kyrgyzstan's capital is back under security forces following deadly clashes between police and protesters they were demanding the nationalization of a gold mine just currently operated by a canadian company hundreds gathered in front of the government's headquarters some

the streets celebrated the surprising win by the opposition and despite fears the ruling regime may somehow hamper this triumph soon their worries were swept aside by the president himself. it is evident that the georgian dream coalition has secured a majority this means this parliamentary majority has to form the next government for us at least for me views of this coalition were fundamentally unacceptable and still remain so. just six months ago an opposition win was deemed impossible the ruling party is rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that confidence saakashvili was that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister at position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole. changes to the constitution because of the things that i never see the parliament these are the majority.

but that's a little less flair. however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes released in september he'd saakashvili the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities the changing point in this election was the allegations of brutality in prisons and torture and the allegation behind that was of course that saakashvili and his prime minister merabishvili had ordered this abuse so if you have a situation where the new column entry majority wants to investigate abuse it could well produce a crisis full of his close associates so they could not only have lost the election but they could face serious legal complications the georgia dream bartz the leader and possibly the next prime minister really has already made his. clear. ideology has established
