3:02 pm
and i think they would love to have turkey get into the get into the fight they're moving they've moved their headquarters from turkey into to syria and that's going to set up a logistical problem for them in coordination with forces inside of turkey to bring in more ammunition and and logistics to back them up but it would be an easier way then to set up a situation where where you bring turkey into the into the fight and in order to provide that kind of a sense of. i don't rule that out. and that's all for some work in the in that in that region there they're very very good at this kind of set up. meanwhile turkey has seen thousands marching in photo is that what they say is the government to escalate tension against syria but there are a series peaceful demonstration in the capital turned violent when one please move

3:04 pm
understand that we are dealing with a very vicious insurgency and one which any state would be intitled and indeed obliged to try to put down. this is the first time that they have done things like this the reports in the western media going back months telling how the syrian rebels would slit the throats of the syrian army soldiers that they captured so it's something they've done before basically against their own nationals. preserve more and that is you of syria turkish attentions as well as a timeline of events and analysis that out to dot com there you can also find out more on the ripple effect of the on running syrian crisis ascending to its neighboring state. thousands of islamist opposition supporters have been protesting in jordanian capital amman to demand reform this is why the king having already dissolved the parliament the rally was organized by the jordanian awaiting
3:05 pm
the muslim brotherhood policy a report from amman. thousands of people are gathering here in the jordanian capital of a man where the muslim brotherhood is organize a demonstration and at the time the friday of this country's salvation now people have had a very strong demands and a lot of criticism against the jordanian government they're calling for constitutional reforms to be implemented they're calling for a fair electoral law they want to see all political prisoners released and at the same time they're also saying that government needs to root out corruption now this is a process that has attracted not only brotherhood supporters there are people here from all political factions the police is on high guard all the roads leading here have been closed since the during the hours of friday morning. the king is well aware of the mood on the streets and that is why he is calling for early elections at the end of this year but the brotherhood has already said that it plans to boycott those elections the arab spring which began back in january last year has largely bypassed the kingdom this is seen as
3:06 pm
a relatively stable country in an extremely unstable region the question now though is just what is going to be the extent of the influence of the brotherhood beyond egypt and other countries where it has already come to the fore so if you look around here on the streets of amman judging by the mood and judging by the turnout of the brotherhood it does seem as if the brotherhood support is in for the long haul we are likely to see more demonstrations like this in the jordanian capital policy r.t. amman jordan. volunteer is keeping her up to date on the rallies in jordan twenty four seventh's logon to have twitter feed to find the pictures of the latest scenes of the protests hit capital on monday. in tunisia up to eighty seven people linked to attacks on the u.s. embassy in september may face the death penalty this is according to their lawyers charges against them include attacks against a security they were part of
3:07 pm
a protest over an american made phil mocking prophet mohammad did turn violent when thousand strong the embassy building and clash with wired please let's discuss those with lawrence freeman director of the african dad executive intelligence review magazine who joins us from washington good to see you this now as a free man storming an embassy over a film can hardly be justified but still is the death penalty a proportionate punishment. no it's not and i don't support capital punishment however this whole operation there we've seen in north africa and the middle east over this film i think people have to look at this thing from a higher level view the few minutes of the film it's a very ridiculous silly i would call mickey mouse production so why the uproar well obviously some people and i think we have to look to some of the salafist jihadist networks are using this film to carry out provocations and then you see counter
3:08 pm
provocations and there is no reason for uprising over this film it's a silly stupid film put there but it therefore has a higher political purpose and we see that these kind of demonstrations provoked i believe deliberately and then organized groups this does not represent the entire muslim community this represents a very small group of people who i believe are being deployed precisely to create this kind of chaos and encounter attacks. now this sort of punishment in a hospital and how does that correlate with the country perceiving democracy that explained after allison ben ali from power. it doesn't look the the tunisians were the first ones to begin this reform process back in the early part of last year and you had a lot of people who wanted a better life wanted economic upward mobility and they wanted
3:09 pm
a better government to carry that out and may lead to a process which we saw in various fits and starts throughout the arab and what african world and this is this was legitimate now how are we getting the kind of economic development for the the people who need a more stand a higher standard of living and of course as you bring up is this really the way you want to deal with an emerging. reformist government is trying to help and provide for its people it's not and that's why i'm saying that these demonstrations are provoking me bring out the worst of the political decision making process of the government instead of really thinking about what do we need to do to help our people and that means economic progress and development now separately the tunisian government extended for an eighth time the state of emergency put in place when the arab spring uprising took hold of the country despite a sign notable improvement in security how significant is that progress really.
3:10 pm
well is that i think the point that ever i think we should look at is the real progress is going to be measured by how do we provide how these governments work for there. is a standard of living increase in. young families have a greater opportunity for higher paying doctors employment and what you're seeing is that this is not really taking place i mean the i.m.f. and the world bank of moving in we see it again in. the transatlantic countries in europe are completely collapsing and disintegrating united states economy is horrible we have two very competent inadequate candidates for president so there's no leadership in the world that's really driving the policy for economic development and that's really what the tunisian people wanted when they started this they want a change in government but a change in government for what
3:11 pm
a change of government for the benefit of the standard of living and the mobility of people to achieve a higher level of economic condition for themselves their family and the children. we'll leave it right there thank you for your time mr lawrence freemen director of the african desk at the executive intelligence review magazine live from washington . the angles protesters in tunisia may have grabbed attention but the troubles in other arab countries are left in the background in both brain demonstrations again and media with an angry and violent police response on the crowded streets of the capital of my mom more on this unreported struggle of lives in the next few minutes. the stunning beauty of reindeer gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more

you're watching are too good to have you with us now police in bahrain use water cannon and tear gas to disperse hundreds of pro-democracy protesters in the capital manama but clashes took place after a memorial for young activists who died in prison after allegedly being denied adequate medical treatment protests take place almost daily in bahrain despite the government's crackdown on demonstrators for more on the story i'm joined by former m.p.'s. we could took part in today's rally good to see there mr morsi. the death of the twenty three year old prisoner happened just days after a teenage boy was reportedly shot dead by a bus trainee security forces now these cases would usually draw
3:16 pm
a chorus of condemnation from western governments but there's no reaction why. your question is putting the actual problem that we had here in bahrain on the on the send in the beginning of the let's say media. trying to fix the problem that the devil is done which in practice by all those who simply on trees. that they do can say i'm on those regimes who have some. let's say week relationship with them or probably they consider them as enemies but like our regime it's a part of the system they have lots of relationships they give them some let's say support. as. weapons they take some friends facilities they have the only from out of countries that survive they ignore the old what's
3:17 pm
happening here although it's not listen what's happening somewhere else now activists say over eighty people have died in behind since the beginning of this uprising was a wave of racially ignoring what's going on day why isn't it calling for the government to step down as it does else way. to be owners frankly we can say they did not tell the government to step down they may say that to them either publicly or privately in the closing room but there is no actual let's say strong actives there is no way both can be put on the rejean shoulders they just say this. gets rid of any blame from any other to. for example protect themselves not to be conned that you don't blame
3:18 pm
this regime this there are some saying these words they may advise ing them to. let's say. no to violate human rights but they are not serious like what's happened in syria for example like course happened in libya they don't do this we don't know why but this is again bringing us to the double standard this is bringing us to conflict of interest sometimes speaking of human rights now despite the continued violence in bahrain the countries ministry for social development want to seat at the un human rights council advisory committee now is that appropriate given that the flagrant human rights abuses that have happened they are. the problem this is another story because all those countries. not voted there is no voting happened just they did not bring their candidate and they kept the position for
3:19 pm
one candidate always from bahrain mr honey is not. known as a human right activist or human right with say. he's just a part of the regime and he was a member of the brain human rights establishment which is being formed or founded by the king himself he did not even. single of what's happened in bahrain since the put him in that position so this. issue and countries like reason with each other or this person on that position what we we can say this position doesn't mean anything for bahrain but also what i mean for them is to respect our actually human rights on the basis every day on every step not by getting charity out of there let's leave it right there thank you very much for

thursday the message was clear they want six more years of al comment on they was his supporters say that chavez is the country's first president to genuinely care about the lower class so it was a chavez is the punishment of the rich and the window of hope to. get. under the banner of socialism for the twenty first century chavez has pumped hundreds of billions of petro dollars into the economy and government run aid programs along with earning him popular support poverty has fallen from fifty percent in one thousand nine hundred nine to around thirty percent last year yet life in this country is far from ideal and with the plague of unemployment crime and corruption many venezuelans are now saying it's time for chavez to go but it looks like i don't want to be for chavez but he's done his best and we need a change. in this race change means a vote for opposition leader in the us a forty year old lawyer who unlike chavez enjoyed a privileged upbringing. the son of a wealthy family that controls
