2:05 am
the revolution and those who succeeded along with the revolution to achieve many of its objectives are now divided and now they are divided around political and partly ideological principles it's not exactly value driven it's politically driven type of clashes it's not if you lucian but rather the revolution is right now feeding on itself and it's eating its own children in my opinion in order for the political elites for various political parties for the islamists or liberals or others in order for them to. intensify or rather concentrate their power and their hold over power in egypt so it's really it's sort of if it's sort of illusion it is that that is aimed at achieving power or rather it's a power struggle as opposed to a popular revolution as we've seen in the past. in the air and the headlines of a serious conflict in chemical weapons winds later in the program we're on the

2:08 am
because his government told him it was ok to be here. because i was told here you can. and so i circled where i was told i could get it to morrow the state of israel told me it's time to go i'll go i'm told i'm an occupier when i go there was nothing if you circuits and we made this. in denmark and the united kingdom goods coming from settlements in the west bank already has to be marked differently to denote that it's not from israel the collective n.g.o.s want to see this implemented europe wide here in europe there are many people with ties to the middle east region and they want to make sure they know exactly where their produce is coming from this is are you sure this comes from spain. is a palestinian living in germany she has family in the west bank and says the israeli checkpoints mean palestinian farmers are losing out to the settlers even even the few things they get jordan they really checkpoints keep them at the
2:09 am
checkpoints for days in the sun. and then you can't keep the rest of us anymore those behind the report into trade between the settlements in europe say they aren't trying to organize any kind of witch hunt we're not talking about boycotting jews over here we're not talking about even boycotting israel itself we're talking about making a difference differentiating between. legal israeli products which should be bought. by european citizens as much the course is short and settlement products which are totally legal and should be banned and people should not buy. syria's chemical weapon arsenal is again whipping up a frenzy at least in the us media and unnamed u.s. official has reportedly said damascus has begun arming its chemical weapons stockpiles it's impossible to verify that skeptics are saying the room is being

spread intentionally to justify greater aid for rebels even intervention meanwhile the conflict in syria continues to spread further afield with fighting between those for and against assad killing six in lebanon middle east expert dr adnan to read says the whole region is now engulfed in the same way and. the danger of what's happening in syria is that we are seeing increased. sectarian identities sectarian war. and this is likely to spread this is the danger of the syrian equation that we are likely to see an escalation of the trenches and we are likely to see years brad of this confrontation to other countries in the region and it's likely to take on more sectarian more ideological confrontation lebanon is a very fragile country a country of money. groups jordan is another candidate turkey is also vulnerable because it faces tensions with itself and its likely to take more
2:11 am
sectarian more ideological confrontation and this is on top of that we are likely to see more and more of the regional powers drawn into this conflict as we are seeing international powers have been drawn into it as well. the you as a brave the chinese style inmate a neighbor on its soil with one of the spending tens of millions of dollars in law being tricked along here. you can tell an ordinary russian siberian in the blink of an. anthropologist. those days siberians were different clothes different food. different animals but what about. my journey began into men but the big city was

2:16 am
so therefore we're training bringing back this industry that is strictly has been going out of this country and we're putting it you know inside the laws and it's absolutely a perfect idea. of a workforce that is not the kind of problems are baby sitting senator always here always going to come to learn. your business or leave a wide variety of industries take advantage of prison labor among many other things prisoners make clothing textiles electronics furniture and even solar panels just as we're trying to get china to start with their prison labor hours isn't the same term. hundreds of companies have used prison labor directly or through subcontractors including microsoft boeing starbucks tory secret and others by federal tax. rate compensated up to forty percent of the way to

generate tax payers to howards the need to provide medical care and everything. we do there's a taxpayer it comes out of the tax and bearing the actual purging we're already healthy and in shape to go and. private companies hardworking and reliable make sure want to work every day well. terribly work in prison is mandatory and the choice many inmates have is whether to work for a government run prison industry for less than a dollar an hour or a private one for a minimum wage or for around six dollars unique or is a government owned corporation that uses prison labor to produce all kinds of goods mainly for other government agencies one hundred seventy five different types of products and services you see the variety listed on their website they to partner up with private firms now last year unicorn's revenue nine hundred million dollars as far as private prisons are concerned two of the country's biggest prison
2:18 am
corporations made three point three billion dollars last year alone private prisons are traded on the new york stock exchange they are for profit companies and the savings that they reap from using inmate labor. go to their bottom line it's money they otherwise don't have. large prison populations and harsh sentences result in greater profits america's three major private prison companies spend around forty five million dollars over the past ten years on lobbying state and federal governments for supporting immigrant detention mandatory minimum sentences three strikes laws and other legislative measures that contribute to the growth of america's gigantic prison population the u.s. now holds more people behind bars than any other nation more than two million that's one quarter of all prisoners in the world from a cost effectiveness point of view the forty five million dollars that private prisons have reportedly spent over the past decade lobbying to keep prisons fall
2:19 am
he's peanuts compared to the new ins that they make every year one can argue about the many causes and effects of america's skyrocketing incarceration rate but since prisons became a for profit industry in the u.s. thirty years ago the number of prisoners has gone up dramatically not to say that it was the only cause behind the spike but many argue will support of it and now. with the cheap labor market expanding behind american bars one is wondering whether the justice system in the us is adopting market values in washington i'm going to check up. on our website for you the cable company which wants to know you better much better a telecom giant miles apart and for equipment that will be watching you while you watch t.v. it's all designed to better target you with advertising. you are smiling to use the taser international part of these and then to keep him in his i would be permanent

2:22 am
what could that buy for britain that could buy credible amounts of investment in really industrial development sustainable energy investment things that would really work to regenerate our economy yet the chancellor is tinkering around the edges our government needs to address these problems it's elected by the people to provide services for the people to make our country run properly it's not a government that's been elected to help the big corporations we have to see a change here. turning to some other international news the brave typhoon which has been battering the philippines for the last two days has left almost three hundred fifty dead this storm moved out of populated areas need down once a day tens of thousands fled their homes as the heavy rains and the winds of what across southern and central regions of the country cutting off power into entire province says rescue teams have been working in the west hit areas but it's feared the number of casualties will write. at least eight people have been wounded in
