the stakes are high for egypt as it bodes all votes on a new constitution that has already torn the nation apart by sparking a new wave of outrage and mistreated by. slaughter on a horrific scale in the view our school with twenty six people killed in a spree shooting most of the pupils under terry. branstad prices authority quite so now seemingly trying to recruit says returns find a spiraling food costs means that healthy options are out of their reach. this is all see coming to life for most and welcome to the program egyptians are

deciding the fate of a brand new constitution which has divided the nation and turns the streets in the country's case issues into battlefields a chorus of critics have pushed for the referendums delays saying that the islamic led document is flawed and not representative of the population cairo based reporter true has more for. after three weeks of political turmoil that seen mass rallies against the president time to also bloody scenes in the streets of egypt's major come cities overnight the military apparently beat up security at the polling stations for people to come and vote they have course have been called in by the president to secure the nation during this time of political unrest and the referendum we expect out hundreds of thousands of police officers and soldiers in the streets today ensuring that the scenes are calm this comes after violent scenes yesterday on friday and alexandria egypt second city which saw clashes between rival protest groups to support the constitution and those against it including

groups wielding machetes. also iron rods and around about nineteen injured and possible that we haven't had that confirmed yet this of course follows several weeks worth of buying seats on the streets of cairo the referendum is actually being held across two days is there not a sufficient number of judges to supervise the process this the opposition forces say is a major problem and could open up the referendum to vote rigging in addition civil society groups here questioning how that is possible for them to observe the elections to for electoral fraud since the head of the constituent assembly who drafted the constitution is also the head of the national human rights council he will be overseeing the observation all the polling stations the constitution itself is a major point of contention also the opposition forces they have said that it is written by islamist dominated constituent assembly to be somebody when this mass will cross

by liberal leftist and church and therefore it will only enforce a religious state it also they said would impose a presidential dictatorship and neglect key rights and freedoms of expression so this constitution they say should be rewritten the constituent assembly should be reforged so we'll have to see with the results of the referendum the future of egypt's. so deep division between egypt's opposition is another reason why the vote on the referendum is unlikely to reflect the attitudes of the public says journalist and middle east analyst ahmed. morsi is not showing any signs of flexibility he's not showing any signs of building consensus he used shown to be a very stubborn person regardless of the outcome of the referendum the scene in egypt right now it's indicative that there is going to be him as.

playing with the results there is already reports about money substances being given to poor people to encourage them to go out and vote favorably with yes for the constitution and on the other side the egyptians are still divided into different groups and democratization of the borders are not going as it should have been going so it's not really representative of the nations when or of the consensus that should have been existing turkey's taking the chance to abandon old friendship to satisfy its own ambitions helps one to keep and see where the president as some think to bring western support and a possible foothold in syria but turns a blind eye to internal conflict going that report.

is one of the worst school shootings in u.s. history twenty six people gunned down in a us primary school in connecticut twenty of them young children pupils have tried to hide from the killing classrooms and closets but their blood bath ended only when he turned the gun on himself i wouldn't believe to be his mother was also found dead at her house. reports now on the massacre of innocent life. there's still lots of questions as to what happened at that elementary school in connecticut the shooter has not been officially identified at this point but according to various reports it was adam lanza the twenty year old who went into his mother's kindergarten class she was a teacher at that school and wiped out the entire class twenty children were killed in the carnage eighteen children died at the scene two at the hospital those were five year olds six year olds small children the shooter also targeted and killed six adults and unless his mother the teacher was also found dead in her home. the school the suspect that. is the suspected shooter had three guns on him as he went

into the school two handguns and one semiautomatic weapon all reportedly registered to adam lanza's mother a witness said there must have been one hundred rounds fired after killing all these people at a lesson reportedly shot himself there has been a number of horrifying shootings at schools in the u.s. in the past but never has there been a rampage that killed this many small children in two thousand and seven a student killed thirty two people at virginia tech we of course remember the columbine massacre in colorado where two students struck and killed thirteen people and injured twenty four but the children killed in connecticut were very very young we heard president obama delivered tearful speech this friday but nevertheless the white house has pretty much dodged questions on its gun policy and those are questions on many people's minds right now but the president does say it's time to take meaningful action to prevent mess across like this from happening again but

what action he did not specify is the fact of the matter is that getting a gun is fairly easy in the u.s. adam lanza's mother apparently had no problem purchasing and registering story guns one of them a semi automatic weapon and it's a powerful deadly weapon one of the policy goals of president obama was a ban on assault weapons but is thought to be a losing. opposition for any politician in the u.s. to really seriously consider seriously take on the issue attempts to regulate guns inevitably hit a wall and that wall is the second amendment the right of the people to bear arms some states here do have controls over gun possession but again very limited controls the state of illinois for example used to have a ban on concealed weapons but this week a federal court ruling struck down the country's last such poor vision as unconstitutional and ordered the state to craft a law allowing it so much for gun control in the us the state of wisconsin tossed

out its ban on concealed weapons last year and it seems there is no way of arguing against the amendment even despite these absolutely horrifying and recurring incidents. so the treasury once again triggered a wave of criticism that getting your hands on a weapon in america. least of all went to the white house to send anti guns ronnie . many people are taking their concerns to the front of the white house as you can see about one hundred people are gathered here holding signs holding candles trying to make their voices heard saying that now is the time to talk about gun control in the u.s. we spoke to some of the protesters here's what they had to say today we saw a roomful of kindergartners slaughtered by a guy who never should have gotten a gun. if our president can't talk about it the issue now as a father of two daughters young daughters i think it's time for him for a gut check in it's there's no more and no more excuses anymore this should not

have happened we should have measures in place before this to prevent people from accessing guns who are not fit to hold them also in my opinion i don't think something that is military grade as an assault rifle i don't think that should be in the hands of anybody it's not a toy and we can't keep our teachers and our children and our school administrators safe and if every day we can't keep people who are walking down the streets safe then that should be changed and to resign ourselves to the to saying that this is a problem that has a solution is defeatist and we should we should take this on and change what we did hear from press secretary jay carney earlier earlier this morning he said is not the day to be talking about gun control we also heard a very emotional speech from president obama sending his condolences to the victims to the family is in newtown connecticut he did not talk about the issue of guns or gun control but protesters here say if today is not the day in the wake of this

very tragic mass shooting they don't know when that time. and washington liz wall are to. a european court of the cia with torture accusations it throws its weight behind a german citizen was mistaken for a terrorist and every term of the us agency brutal interrogation techniques that's coming up after a short break. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a foursome breeder on the island of horn at the heart of. his life on an isolated

farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses work there sometimes it gets lonely here a bit of horses have become part of me no i've fallen off so many times sometimes. it's part of my every day life. i home suburban home to it nick brats local just laugh for centuries most still live off the land cattle and fish. by coal is often called the pearl of siberia a horn is said to be the pearl of by call it's all end of think forests. and vast stops. virtually undiscovered by tourists until some twenty years ago i was cornish quickly becoming a magnet for nature lovers and if you will see cars you're quite some way from civilization here accommodation on the island is very basic so you can forget about

a t.v. or even run in water for most people eight ten. and is the on the eruption but for those who come here it's exactly what they're looking for. and sure need to buy coal can be unique trip of a lifetime and the locals say once you've seen it they'll be coming back again and again. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

world with. its technology innovation all the list of elements around russia we've got the future covered. this is all she welcome bok the you as germany and the netherlands are deploying patriot missiles manned by four hundred american troops in turkey next to see where as northern border officially tossed with defense against possible calls border

aggression the missiles range will extend deep into sea when territory going to look at why it's so eager to contain its former friend. he may have treated his command bridge for an apartment in istanbul but retired admiral turk or in return still keeps tabs on his country's foreign policy and he doesn't like what he sees like many turkish patriots the admiral believes his country is second facing common sense and domestic concerns from western interests. turkey is looking at the middle east through america's eyes for a purely turkish perspective your example with syria turkey claims it wants to see democracy in syria but look who is working with saudi arabia qatar and their democratic credit is one thing forget the zero problems with neighbor's rule which in chorale has prided itself on for many decades critics now see turkey as dancing

to one nation's. place for. people but that does not suffice. for. which the us can go. because. in truth some. people internalize u.s. policy and represent us in the country that have been invaded so. this is very tricky comes in your graphic when culturally it's a great base camp for the likes of the u.s. and nato to take a foothold in their anti acid ambitions it was just two years ago that turkey was calling bashar lost a brother and voting against sanctions on iran its relatively recent change of heart however may not have everything to do with turkey's desire to appease the west and may indeed be part of a plan by turkish officials to become

a regional if not global major players. optimum dreams. but it was someone who used to go. through and stop in time syria was part of the land but now syria is. a member of united nations. and independent state and turkey hasn't any rights. to intervene on syrian policy internal issues there is a conflict for thirty years of threaten. to which they could support is an every day tens of. people young people lost their lives from both sides so. if i were in i don't. stop the bloodshed in turkey then think about syria or palestine. yet turkish officials seem to

skirt the issue of their internal problems and instead turn their attention elsewhere syria the case in point but the likes of retired admiral air turkey believe the turkish ship is a person one should its present commanders continue on their prudent course even though he is still. coming out there's the christmas spirit becoming an obsession to buy as much as you can find the proper. go back to church to read the bible to find free. remember what the holiday is supposed to be for i just think people should think that every year has to be the best christmas ever so joining the week hominis later in the program that's right hit the streets of new york. britons are now biting off less than they can treat same as as the cost of health if it moves on beyond the reach

of many people food prices that have gone up by a third in just five years leaving many families stuck on cheap prepackaged males point to boycott reports on how stunned shopping lists are quickly becoming a luxury. do you know what you're putting in your shopping basket health conscious customers might want to stock up on their fruit and vege but what if that's getting too expensive for families in the u.k. the cost of that weekly shop has gone up by over a thud over the past five years and it's set to get more expensive still among the healthier fresh meat you can find chicken breast for five ninety nine per kilogram and for a reason process did this retailing at one twenty nine in some cases now if you're a struggling household with lots of mouths to feed it's a no brainer britain is now in the midst of a nutritional recession to go hand in hand with the financial one over a million children in the u.k.

are going without a daily healthy meal now the coalition government provide free fruits and veggies to schools and they supplement those on the lower income but it looks like the cheap meal deals are often more appealing than the government health warnings health campaign to say it's time for the government to several new plan to get britain and struggling households to acquire not just the taste but also the means for a healthier diet. of course there's a lot more waiting for you at our website including a look at those whose love for animals goes to plan the german government says eleanor planning at this challenged igniting debate over just the moral compass is pointing in the right direction. under not afraid to get into the grid later a young woman in russia dies in a rubbish to retrieve the make out she accidentally threw away time reading one about her leap of faith on my.

the european court of human rights has made its first ever ruling that this cia is guilty of torture in a case involving a german citizen the court found that khalid al masri was illegally abducted tortured and sort of my spine to ice agents agents after being mistaken for an all kinds of member nine years ago i think you asked is now being pursued for an apology and compensation but author and historian doug valentine says that this is unlikely to happen as the cia operates about the role. those cia officer ever. will ever be. a prisoner of prison term even you know in states of convicted of a crime these people are simply above the law the only thing that the cia dollars

is to conduct illegal activities which is why it's above the law it's businesses doing things that are illegal so the fact that it's found. in europe or asia or south america or any place of do it legal for those there's a blue collar for regime that what it does this you know is not appropriate all of . those things without prior authorization from congress the president's national security officers everything that those policy. and as promised christmas is a time when the shops hope to do some brisk business but resident asks new yorkers the festive spirit is turning into a shopaholic addiction. why have the holidays become such hellish days this week let's talk about that it's

a commercial thing now everyone just want to spend money it's not about what it really should be about how did that happen is that the media telling us to buy buy buy a absolutely it's everyone with their sales and absolutely i live on what people buy you know and i'm an independent sales rep so i depend on it so you're happy with this christmas i'm happier this christmas i sell luxury goods as long as people keep buying into a happy holiday that's it a way to stop that would be to go back to church to read the bible and to find faith and to remember what the holiday is supposed to be for what about people of other religions and it is there any saving for them i said i said to find religion . is there saving for them i believe in christianity but i think it's important that whether it's christiane to be or not that you have morals and values based on religious faith do you think there's a war in christmas oh i don't think there's a war on christmas i just think people shouldn't think that every year has to be

the best christmas ever is that what we do we set our expectations too high we do i think they we should just enjoy it that each year should be a nice christmas with a couple of presents maybe full of press that's right along with the feeling of safety and community with all these holidays also remind people believe or not that's just my opinion holidays remind people of their own mortality that we're not going to be around here very much longer and our lives are very short and because we tend to remember the people who have gone on the holidays as well and that's why we p.c. the holidays we just want to feel safe we want to feel like i'm extending my time here a little bit more and i want you to believe what i believe yes and maybe as someone others someone else's believes makes us feel better and that's exactly what we're taking a chill dose of approaching the cliff is not as much about. shopping this year as though the rest of us. are going to be a little bit different how you can do it differently. i have to say but it was going to be on facebook. is what some people make christmas and calling it

a day like whether or not the world has lost its holiday spirit the bottom line is it wouldn't hurt any of us to take a look inside to find our own private reason to celebrate the. coming out that spotlight with that's after the break stay with us. she good leverage or tim curry was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which on fortunately he doesn't give a darn about anything turns mission to teach creation why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care what your only dog.
