kuwait divided the opposition pledges a boycott of the parliamentary vote on mass protest slanted to create limiting voters' rights. one hundred thousand protesters rally in egypt angry at a hastily pushed through draft constitution which many see is discriminatory. and israel's rush to approve thousands of new secular homes is seen as a step back for peace talks a day after palestinians are given nonmember observer status at the un. you're watching a very warm welcome to today where the opposition in kuwait is vowing to boycott

today's vote on a new parliament already the second this year it comes at a time of ongoing political unrest in the oil rich gulf state with antigovernment protests denouncing or world to create limiting voters' powers the opposition says the new rule discriminates against them and see it as corruption by the ruling that morning. reports from kuwait. i'm certain is one way to describe the mood here in way today as the highly controversial parliamentary elections take off now the opposition has refused to back down from a boycott of the voting in protest of what it sees as its authority here in this opposition not to say that this is an attempt to produce a more compliant parliament that will allow the government to pass laws without appropriate oversight from the legislature thousands a few leaders have taken to the streets in a largely peaceful protest in order to express their frustration with a. subversion of the law there's also concerns about

a potential clampdown on dissent as many activists who have spoken out both against the emir and the political situation here have been jailed now we got a chance to speak to some of the protesters and here's a look at what they have to say i have a problem is that the government doesn't need neither the constitution nor democracy and they always start to talk about dialogue whenever they need a temporary alternative but in practice they are defying democracy the main problem is that since one thousand nine hundred seventy six the development of kuwait has stopped because the government started thinking of how to change the constitution and get rid of it the growth of the country has stopped and the government is unable to change the constitution or to continue with the development process as a result the situation has got to where it is now let's walk the opposition hope that maybe we should result in a lower voter turnout which could in theory radically undermine the actual outcome of the elections and potentially nice and the dissolution of the most recent

parliament we also spoke to opposition activists to say that they are going to be stationing their own observers at each of the polling stations in order to do an independent count of the voter turnout the average country has seen in the island street battles between opposition groups and security forces which have used steerer gas stun grenades as well as rubber bullets in order to disperse. the previous gatherings now western countries are of course. as well as the unrest here in kuwait of course as an opec member any sort of unrest on the streets is bound to have some sort of impact on oil prices as well as the pentagon's plans to use the oil rich nation as a hub for its get ground forces in order to build up a countering force to the perceived threat by iran of course is home to three u.s. military bases a long list that's being recently number. with all of the main withdrawal from afghanistan to flow through all of this. you see captain of r t two eight. to

egypt now where is the mists of backing president morsi are planning to take to the streets on saturday while the anti-government protesters continue to rally against what they describe as an oppressive regime they're vowing to stop a new constitution seen as undermining democratic freedoms morty's tom bolton reports now from cairo. protesters have been camped out into brisk way since last week since gyptian president mohamed morsi is you to decree granting himself sweeping new powers that kicks off a wave of protests by the more liberal sections of egyptian society not just here in cairo but in cities across the country some of those spilling over into violent protests we're seeing take astro and stone exchanges between the protesters and police a number of protesters have died hundreds more have been wounded across the country in those protests because of it the roots of it

a constitutional crisis here people and visit when they have their revolution nearly two years ago the overthrow of hosni mubarak last week after this declaration of how much more see the current president backed by the muslim brotherhood said that the reason for that was to try and get a new constitution last in a process that dragged out for a long time for egypt however the constituent assembly that drafted that is dominated by the muslim brotherhood many other representatives of more liberal representatives coptic christians and other groups that have withdrawn from that assembly in protest so there is the fear that that new constitution which has just recently been drafted is too islamist and is to religiously conservative doesn't make enough provisions to protect minorities like coptic christians like women here in egypt from society mohamed morsi for his part ses he wants compromise he wants

to protect the revolution and today it is the chance of his supporters he is supported by large sections of the egyptian population and he did win the presidential election they will hold a huge rally they say here in cairo as well today to show that they he does have support for his decree granting himself. and be new constitution these protests will continue in talk red square as well and we have this shows that the constitutional crisis and the battle to try and get egypt's revolution and the right track on a track that egyptians can agree on is far from over. well egypt's opposition claimed they may also march on the presidential palace to stop mercy from calling a referendum on the draft. from the egyptian current party says if the new constitution passes a referendum it would further cement the islamists grip on power if it gets

a popular vote that means it's more or less the constitution that would have filled there's another critical mass that would allow for an amendment however there's no mechanism to propose an amendment to the constitution after it passes through the referendum which means that there has to be enough change within parliament and the hands of the non islamic parties so that they can propose such a change which seems to be a questionable with how the parliament of the previous parliament was constantly construed forty three percent of the muslim brotherhood and twenty seven percent of the salafist so even if there is a significant changes and you have a fifty fifty percent parliament of one islamic an islamic that still seems to be questionable that you would you'd have such a change. the u.s. has criticised israel for approving a settlement expansion directly after the u.n.

recognize palestine as a member observer state washington says it's a step back for peace talks three thousand homes have been given the go ahead in the west bank and east jerusalem less than twenty four hours after the u.n. vote israel has accused the palestinians of seeking unilateral recognition not a solution through talks about estonians in turn are demanding that all settlement building stopped before negations was you know one hundred thirty eight states voted to upgrade the palestine status nine s. into me against forty one abstaining. and just says israel is using american support. what gives real dollars. pressure is trying to get tough it's been able to get away with that knowledge temporarily but increasingly it can no longer do it diplomatically so this action i think is your considered is rejected everywhere even and why shouldn't time be separation between the american

and the israelis are you widening the wives of between them and their and the rest of the world plus the gals are causing our views provocation i think you're out the americans and it's going to be really heavy heavy lobbying remember netanyahu and i'll be there in american pull all sorts of pressure on you to stand by because i didn't do what i think it's changing changing times and that's what we are we witnessing you know school remember the americans car are fixed you know and aids you know ethical wasn't happy the e.u. the benefits were not the international community wasn't happening without a craft mark on this issue it's going to be up to obama and the americans are deciding which way they're going to go because the international community is frankly are losing patience. well so to come nobel peace prize laureates don't believe the e.u. deserves to stand side by side with past winners previous recipients of the money

here in america for no reason guys in black uniforms storm someone's house all alone and some rounds and left with no justification or explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is remaining silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house you're storming or why you're storming it then maybe you should lay off the siege for a while you know what take a few minutes to think it over have a cup of coffee and maybe even do a little google search about the fourth amendment but that's just my opinion. download the official application so choose your language. stream quality and enjoy your favorite. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v.

doesn't fit for the prizes valleys senate committee has lost its founders vision artists are first expects. in that letter they said that the twenty seven nation blocks getting this award contradicts the valley's safety ated with the pricing what they want to see happening is the one pointing million dollar prize money not be awarded this year and they also said that the clearly not one of the champions of peace a consensus here amongst the signatures and indeed among many many people when this award was announced this year was that really the awarding of the prize the european union not in the keeping of the spirit of the nobel peace prize the prize was awarded at a time when the e.u. is they think the biggest crisis it's face since its creation we're seeing huge social unrest and you know what a lot of people are saying is that the european union at the moment really for a lot of people. come to represent divisions within society we see those divisions

between the rich and the plot poor between those who employ it those who run employed you know the people that we've spoken to in these countries really feel very very let down the vision of the european union was about peace and democracy and that's certainly not what people feel that they're getting now the committee praised the for voting after the second world war and spreading stability to former communist countries of promoting peace and stability within the e.u. you know it's not all bad the does provide a huge amount of aid a nation but i think what we see happening in the e.u. in the last year really has been very far from the idea of you know a peaceful union two thousand and nine we saw are awarded to see president obama many people feeling that was being awarded the peace activities he might do at some point in the future again very much not in keeping with the will we are to have actually got some reactions of their own to this latest piece of information about it being contested we had an m.e.p. jared bass and say it's highly devious with the even fulfills the rules under which

the award should be given i mean really very strong reaction for this prize being awarded as we said movement a project the many people feel represents the total opposite to peace. well these stories and much more web site including supermarkets sweep lottery ticket one italian shop get you full time employment details online. has been months predicted doomsday is apparently approaching but some russian entrepreneurs are losing any time patching in on the end of the world or about how to survive it without a dot com. now silicon valley has long been the symbol of all things high taken the united states and the rest of the world and while the majority of those who helped create the digital haven are foreign entrepreneurs america has become increasingly reluctant to welcome new talent from abroad but in a question of reports the silicon valley. lots of sharing

a lot of americans that are not from here so they're also coming it's it's not a matter of nationality here it's a matter of the real skills that you have but there are some clouds on the californian sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness visa hurdles the end. knowing economic recession has brought deep fears of home and about much needed jobs going into hands that have come from abroad making it hard for many to understand that foreigners can actually bring benefits to times when america so desperately needs them and i think that's something that white america doesn't get they don't understand why. because they don't because i think that a lot of the fears are still oh they're taking our jobs away america prides itself on being a melting pot the country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy may put an end to all that you know question marty. now

that's take a look at some other news making headlines this hour beginning with some images you may find disturbing syrian rebels have reportedly loaded up on them executing ten unarmed and the prisoners are seen pleading for their lives before being shot with a gun on his head referencing and kind of the group responsible for several suicide attacks in the country pro-government forces have meanwhile been fighting their way to mask this airport which disrupted flights. and large scale internet and telecommunication blackout in the country is now into its third day. nato has opened a military base in neighboring turkey in the western province of is near the command center will replace two other headquarters in germany and spain the alliance troops costs ration is also only waiting turkey's request to deploy a patriot missile system on the border with syria anchor it claims the move is for defensive purposes only many see it as the first step towards creating an influence

. in the pretrial hearing has been shown a noose made from bed sheets with which u.s. soldier bradley manning apparently intended to hang himself in a vegetable supply was charged with passing thousands of classified u.s. documents to wiki leaks speaking publicly for the first time since his arrest two years ago told the court that is detention conditions can feel like a doomed caged animal provoked suicidal thoughts reuters charges should be dropped because of his jail deal. but nothing's notoriety was caused by cable gate two years ago when we give the least a number of american diplomatic documents on the anniversary of the project or health minister has taken the streets of new york to see if there is public support for disclosure of top government secrets. it's been two years since wiki leaks released what's now known as cable gates the

world's largest leak of classified u.s. material so has it changed the world much this week let's talk about that i'm kind of a thought what i don't know doesn't hurt me so if your government is killing innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know they're innocent if you run a government and you live or you run a business this is a a business and you lead everyone from your employees to the person who's the janitor know everything about your business something's going to come back and haunt you and so maybe you shouldn't do anything that would hurt you. if. you have a good point knowledge is power right so we found out some information so that's a positive thing but i don't know if it's changed anything you don't think it's changed the way the governments might act i think if they broke through some sort

of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think i it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there is money power involved i don't think anything's going to change the information has since the printing of good will burke in the fourteenth century. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protested bad the government is using the internet to spy on us. well if you want to spy on each other just look at today just to minutes ago syria just closing the internet so is that a government the i think of the government especially the what america is the world is ultimately is going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks has changed the world the by. bottom line is governments might now feel like they have their own big brother watching and hopefully that's a good thing. well
