it's eleven am here in moscow you're live with us on our team washington's decision to brand a leading a rebel group in syria as a terrorist organization sparks a chorus of al drage among others who enjoyed america's overwhelming support the key rebel coalition recognized by the u.s. as the sole representative of the syrian people has thrown its weight behind the al qaeda linked to al nusra front which is going to change again explains. it's clear that washington is trying to distance itself from extremists in syria they have designated a front a terrorist organization it's thought to be one of the most aggressive and ruthless groups currently involved in the conflict washington's decision to call them terrorists this seen as more of a symbolic move because many other fighters in syria possibly most of them welcome the efforts of those there's a canadian terrorists efforts that include suicide bombings and killing was a person that in fact the leader of the very syrian opposition coalition which the

u.s. has just formally recognized and is supportive of came out and asked the u.s. to reconsider their decision on an almost threat because they've been so helpful in the fight against al saud but the decision to formally recognize the syrian opposition coalition will pave the way for more support for these rebels and they're asking for weapons for a lot of weapons during heavy artillery and the latest from damascus is that this wednesday the explosion targeted the syrian ministry you know we don't know whether it was the all new sort of front or another rebel organization here and what we do know that it was a massive explosion rather three explosions rather there has been many blast like that in the past mostly suicide bombings. washington is accusing damascus of using weapons and banned for use in populated areas in its fight against the rebels this says for the allegations that scud missiles have been fired and warnings that chemical arms will be the next step jake of pawnbroker founder and president all

the future of freedom foundation says the u.s. is deliberately demonizing the syrian government. we've heard this stuff before about you know saddam hussein's debbie in the news going to unleash him on the us and mushroom clouds over american cities and it was entirely bogus it was that it was a way to get the american people to support the invasion and occupation of the country and that's what all of this interventionism is all about to install their dictators in a power look like how the us empire started complaining about the dictatorship in bahrain i mean there you've got a military u.s. military base so they got to stay quiet about that tyranny and you see what went on in egypt you see in saudi arabia i mean the u.s. has long supported dictatorship saddam hussein was one of the was they supported him so this is about regime change in the hopes of installing a pro-u.s. regime but as we've learned things don't come out is that as they often plan to be

. they condemn what is united and people are willing to fly to to keep it that way regular protests and clashes erupt in north carolina and over decision the union flag to spend more time in a closet that's still ahead for you. wasn't and that's not all draped in missile test allegations as north korea takes the backlash for a successful rocket launch some experts delton the country poses the any military threat at all. falling short of the target going over budget and failing to reach the desired results he says thirty two billion a year are dead buybacks scheme is nevertheless being hailed a success the country's creditors are now expected to release athan small bailout cash money that's been held hostage since some actions put all of our picks up the story. greece's given its financial back is something of an early christmas present by buying back a chunk of its debt from them however when they take the wrapping paper off that

gift they might find it's a little less which they've asked for as part of a buyback scheme which saw athens buy back its own problems at around thirty four percent of the original value according to the french finance minister that should be enough in order to see them receive the next round of bailout money that the country's been crying out for in fact they've been waiting for that cash since june the international monetary fund had expected greece to be able to get its debt situation down to one hundred and twenty four percent of overall economic output by twenty twenty is not seen likely right now this is the i.m.f. to say well we won't be lending any more money to any countries that can't pay back their debts however there is a dangerous precedent with this in terms of greece been able to return the money of course private investors private creditors greece well a lot of banks and

a lot of insurance companies are already hot to take the hits and it may swell there's no way we're going to get this cash but for greece but that is sub saying that the i.m.f. certainly are not willing to accept right now. europe is now one step closer to a full fledged banking union after the blocks finance ministers agreed to place the e.u. lenders and a single supervisory body all banks worth more than thirty billion euros all with a significant presence in europe will now have to answer directly to the european central bank it will have a the power to shut down any outfit be judged to be a reckless lend or all offenders to change a strategy critics however doubt the wisdom of empowering bankers to regulate other bankers and questions remain over how much more authority the e.c.b. will try to take. and every christmas bonus for britain's or at least some of them an unexpected drop in unemployment raises hopes of recovery

pacu predicted to be steps away from a double dip recession. the un's atomic watchdog says it's ready to inspect iran's alleged nuclear sites if it's given permission the representatives are heading to to run through new talks which have been at a standstill since august inspectors hope to gain access to the parchin military base near the capital they claim the facility may have been used to develop nuclear weapons and cleaned up afterwards an accusation yet to be backed by evidence however as maria from national reports the burden of proof is now weighing even heavier on iran. three decades of pride followed by three years of mourning when a man syria met her future husband a young physicist she immediately knew he'd come a long way indeed he went on to become one of iran's leading nuclear scientists

until it all ended one sunny morning in january two thousand and ten. missions that would resign left to work and then i heard a terrible explosion and i rushed to see what happened to you was lying like this. i called my screwed my screwed. my ass i thought he was just scared and then i turned to him there was no face just blood in tissues he was the first victim in a gruesome trend associated with his work since two thousand and ten at least three other nuclear scientists have been murdered in iran to sing with us they were working hard so their country didn't need to beg other nations for know how that we have the right acquires this knowledge and feel independent means women serious husband began embarking on his nuclear career he was not a life threatening occupation in the seventy's western countries were regard to how

pure run develop its own nuclear program supplying into with technology with no strings attached that changed when the iranian regime deede what was earlier seen as inalienable right wrong came its biggest liability emboldened in its pursuit of nuclear weapons billions of dollars have been pumped into the industry before the revolution at the time of the shah why should they give up now just because western powers say so while iran's nuclear program is now a target of western political discourse there is only suspicion and no internationally recognized evidence that the countries moving towards build an atomic weapon iranian officials believe all this tension is fabricated with the same purpose to demonize them in the eyes of international community if you have knife in your kitchen and some of the recent concert contour. is very dangerous. to use it to some. this is very.

george king via the perceived fear is that the iranian regime can't be trusted with a nuclear capacity but even those who wanted to to change of leadership see. should be no negotiable for the country. you. live here on here after. all what you did. has. kind of rago if you don't. even want to come out of this place which is that the. blocks that killed been serous husband was seduced shown that the clock in the living room stopped at the time of his death the west and iran are equally failing to move forward iran has long insisted on its rights to develop a peaceful nuclear program but suspicion in the west has led to more and more severe sanctions the more iran resists the more the pressure builds and both sides

show little sign of giving up and while the west sees only dangerous intentions people here in iran believe it's all down to pride and prejudice rife nationality from to her on. another country all caused by the international community north korea has been widely criticized over its recent successful rocket launch with the u.n. security council becoming the latest to condemn the move and promise and appropriate response sparking speculation the country may be facing for the sanctions which are eagerly sold by the u.s. and some european states while north korea says it aids immediately put a weather satellite into space and countries like japan claim it was a long range of michelle cash and carry on second attempt at this yell for a failure in april and its vote on north korea professor route to go franco things sanctions are highly unlikely to change the country's cause of military development

. sanctions are of course an appropriate means to show your political dissatisfaction but in terms of being effective if they are almost useless in terms of north korea sanctions of that applied for decades north korea had enough time to find ways around those sanctions there are humanitarian concerns of the allies to try to so i think sanctions have more or less the symbolical function but they will have very little actual effect so they'll probably get better as a rocket or a missile is definitely a question of interpretation from a political perspective because technically both devices live you say is the difference is that the pay a little bit you put a cell out on top it's a rocket you put a nuclear warhead on top it's a missile basically it's the same thing to go to the u.n. to see a resolution there already is it's at the station and i'm no legal expert but i don't at all so if he doesn't believe judges resolution is enough to prohibit missile or rocket launchers for peaceful purposes frankly speaking i do not really

believe that north korea tends at all to tack on its neighbors this program including nuclear program house purely defensive and in terms of purposes it's it knows no sides are interested in how the war because the gulf war in korea both careers election is off for a lot as long as the regime is stable and also korea and that's actually the key question there is no immediate are danger of a war breaking out. it's children on the frontline in the afghanistan war coming up hundreds of pages happened rounded up as part of a deal with sponson taliban manhunt many can find without charge for yes that's off the shelf by. the san bernardino california police force left to shrink by eighty officers this

year to cover their budget deficit during a local meeting the chief of police laid out the city's problems the sea is facing waves of gang violence theft and drug trafficking but with all the prisons completely overcrowded many of these criminals go right back on to the street and there's just nobody to put more police out there to fight them the police chief really only had one solution offer a given situation go home lock your doors and load and you know what actually that's not that bad of a proposition america's always been a country where people been expected to look out for themselves and i appreciate the police chiefs honesty but i know the world we live in and i have a feeling that the second some homeowner shoots a guy who jumps over his fence at night that homeowners going to go to jail for life you can't expect that a nineteenth century attitude towards crime will be able to work in a twenty first century world where rapists consume you because they slipped on your slippery kitchen floor if you want people to be able to defend themselves that's great but you have to allow them the legal liberty to do so or else the criminals

your washing our team during on the brink of a triple dip recession britain lives have caught a break in the form of an unexpected drop in unemployment but the response to the news has been new qualm some of us one that celebrations could be premature suggestions a statistic being spun to sara first reports. well some unexpected season this week with official statistics showing the u.k.'s unemployment rate has fallen by eighty thousand people between august favor well the government might have been acting like christmas is coming early but the cold hard reality is that all across britain there are going to be a huge number of people right now he simply don't recognise the picture that they statistics the painting and that's one person is back to work you need to separate out this month's figures from kind of the medium to long term direction of the

economy on the market so we're still getting some of the tail end of summer olympics effect we're not sure whether when we start to move out of a period you're going to still see this very strong employment growth particularly amongst young people take for example those on the government's work programme that they have to come along to the job centers part of that program and be signed up for mandatory unpaid work experience now those people will no longer be included in the unemployment statistics that very clearly that's very far for a more or doing people indeed these people on the program themselves would consider employed so you can see you have to be very careful with this not these statistics giving us do you feel like the government's doing enough to help young people can see anything around me. really and how you find the on the work program a lot of young people we've spoken to have you know i haven't found it all that helpful most of. the people are looking for. an employer young

person who. never would have before in their lives that's it of course is not all bad news there are some encouraging signs in these statistics but it's very early days and to conclude that the labor market here in the u.k. is back to full health with not only be foolhardy it would be dangerous in fact predictions saying. in twenty thirteen we could see youth unemployment told that one million marker again about could happen need long term implications for the young labor market here in the united kingdom and right now britain is on the precipice of venturing a triple dip recession and so is the millions who work all across the twenty thirty is looking set to be very far from a happy medium serve the london big it is also seen discontent in northern ireland as schools of loyalist protests once again to the streets of the

capital belfast they were reacting to officials who decided to reduce the number of days the union flag flies over the city hall this rarely went off peacefully recent days of vicious clashes with police and numerous arrests but made fealty a blog on northern irish politics says the country's appetite for protests isn't as strong as it used to be. at the moment when you're not seeing anything like the scale of violence that we had before the peace process began and i think it is an important story no just this one susan disturbing to me because it has a very strong political roots much more subtle than some of the older disturbances we've seen over the last few years in the sense that was causing the forward. disaffection between the true leader parties in stormont the two people were actually finally response for the peace process process here of government in

northern ireland but you know it's not saying all the troubles that cause the terrorism for three thousand seven hundred people or over twenty five year period. always avoid our digital call make looting the power all of you know this is will be tested on the you with sergeant claims he has amnesia prosecutors hope you'll remember the day when he allegedly killed at five a fellow servicemen in iraq. and. also that he laid the asphalt so that's how activists in russia that go fish gaping holes and those puddles on. hundreds of afghan teens some as young as thirteen have been held in u.s. prisons for years it's emerged designated to enemy combatants the boys as been taken and held without charge to prevent them from taking part in the incision see . to see if it's over the last several years what has been going on is over two hundred afghan teenagers that were captured are detained as

a result of the fight against the taliban and al qaeda in afghanistan and held out a u.s. military prison. air base and the shocking numbers here are that the age of these people was on average sixteen years old a lot of them were a lot younger we're talking about twelve thirteen fourteen year old kids held for an average of a year and curiously in many of these cases we're talking about brothers here who are sitting at home and just captured and detained and taken into this military prison because there are suspected of being anime competence and in many cases it's important to underline here that these teenagers were not wearing military uniforms they were not participating in combat they were just suspected of being enemy competence and they were taken and the u.s. says it's a preventative measure we need to do any everything we can to make sure these suspected enemy combatants don't return into the battlefield and because they're

not charged with any crime whatsoever there is no mandatory rule that they need to be provided with legal assistance they're saying that these afghan teenagers were allowed for example to participate in open hearings and defend themselves afghan teenagers defending themselves we have to say that most of the many of them have been released or transferred to the afghan government at this point but many do remain as well. in the world's headlines sangria protests have broken out across anjan tina after the acquittal of thirteen people and a high profile sex slavery case and the capital buenos aires demonstrators stays at the government buildings they demanded the resignation of the judge who delivered the verdict top politicians including the country's president supported the protesters suspect fees of kidnapping a young woman forcing her into prostitution. the u.n. war crimes tribunal has sent as a former bosnian serb intelligence chief was that i've done a mirror to life in prison he was convicted of genocide over the killing of is

need for a response this summer depending on the breast is on the day we found this particular camp they were settled near the coast of the ca to see here four families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just a job for the next people in fact they say it's a part of their entire culture heritage and way of life and that they say that they can use almost. every single part of the reindeer to help them survive. a deer is a means of transportation. equipment and clothes and. the life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are helicoptered to the center of the district for boarding school. students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even learn arts skills all within

a protected environment the school was founded. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people but even with the most progressive ideas and education many say they don't want to trade the modern life for their beloved. i have returned to the time and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see deer it's a joyful sight. a sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcomes a big. imax keyser welcome to the kaiser report first the good news is three bankers have been arrested in connection with rigging live or now the bad news is the arrests were made by the serious fraud office so down hold your breath for

a successful prosecution and now the really bad news over at the new york times a headline reads h.s.b.c. to pay one point nine two billion dollars fine to settle charges over a laundering the first sentence of to start a call proceed to tell you all you need to know whether global financial and economic systems quote state and federal authorities decided against indicting h.s.b.c. in a money laundering case over concerns that criminal charges could jeopardize one of the world's largest banks and ultimately destabilize the global financial system too big to fail too big to jail stacey for. we've been warning about this for years now and it's happened they say openly in the first paragraph of the new york times article that they didn't want to destabilize the global financial system so they got away with their crime there's no money just to see this morning they gave

me this package of cocaine i opened an account over there they said here piers ok well to just be using and they gave me some monkeys to play in the cocaine as well but this was amazing because the most is i think out of his show these monkeys that's the most only. just b.c. so a lot of money for cocaine for sales out of mexico they still can although i don't want to believe that george osborne david cameron at number ten the muslim ventured short of cocaine all day because they obviously don't care that they're fuckin banks are but a laundry list well the f.t. article about this story mentions that c. had allowed itself to be used by the mexican drug cartels and therefore it was very passive they were in themselves and gauging it but if you follow the new york times article all the way down to the very last paragraph you'll find that the reason why they even charged h.s.b.c. this fine.
