and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you. are welcome is a big issue. the sale season gets underway in the u.k. despite the very british items up for grabs a massive slice of the profits go straight into the hands of foreign owned companies. so once iranian terrorist organization gets backing from washington a report from tehran on why many believe little has really changed within the group . and defying international objections israel continues to push for widespread settlement expansion in east jerusalem and occupied territories retaliation for the palestinians recent u.n. status upgrade.

around the world and around the mrs kerry just. now the sale season is underway in the u.k. where millions of people are still indulging themselves to some festive holiday shopping but little do they know that much of the money they thought they were spending on iconic british products actually goes straight into the pocket so foreigners. has the story. proud to be british brits interests alike often pay for their quintessentially british experience says unaware that they're run by foreign companies harrods the dorchester hotel and even the queen's grocer fortnum and mason keeping the fortnum and mason is a british store. is it not. it's been here for ages so i

assumed it was wholly owned by british people. never mind everything's ok now you know the reason the things are getting. so bad almost half the companies in the u.k. and now in foreign hands the coalition government in britain likes to talk about the march of the makers have a march of the makers if we're selling of all that is good household names like boots the chemist cadbury's chocolate and weetabix cereal have all been gobbled up by foreign corporations your traditional bacon butty hardly imaginable without h.p. source the name stands for houses of parliament the label even has westminster on it but the white house might be more fitting h.p. now belongs to heinz and as you're spreading your hartley's jam or your son packed peanut butter over your morning toast you might be surprised to learn that these british brands were just bought up by another american company in fact even thames

water which comes out of every single tap in and around london now belongs to an australian company advocates of foreign takeovers say they inject much needed cash into the british economy recently with premier foods not only selling off. pickle selling off hartley's just. some people and also closing down some of their home. and it's interesting what's the reaction analysts say great news for investors although it is bleak news just before christmas. as for the workforce two years ago kraft the u.s. food giant swallowed up cadbury's chocolate it was a hostile takeover they slashed four hundred jobs and moved production to poland in the process but there are those that say that the loss of sweets is the least of britain's problems and the loss of control over ports to in this country and around

the world where we have a huge network of of good international ports i think is a very serious matter the loss of control over our airports the loss of control particularly over our energy companies which means decisions about our energy could control in supply and not made in london there maybe in paris and or overseas tax havens such as in switzerland when companies take over they often move their headquarters away from the u.k. or look for better advantages in terms of the tax system a good example of that was boots the chemist which was a company with a head office in nottingham for one hundred sixty one years i moved in switzerland where we had revenues of around eighty nine million pounds of corporation tax and they reduced that then to nine million so burden is then placed on the u.k. tax payer increases an income tax of the eighty or other forms of taxation that has to be found and we're the ones paying for it other nations governments scrutinize every overseas bed france for example argues that it's in their national interest

to prevent key technologies falling into foreign hands so while it's often difficult for a british company to buy abroad over thirty billion pounds worth of domestic companies made their way into foreign hands last year last month westminster said that it wouldn't change any laws but would take a greater interest in foreign acquisition the only thing is by the time they get around to it there might be nothing left to sell polly boy see london well on top of international sanctions and can. cyberattacks iran could now be facing another hurdle the u.s. and canada have removed a notorious iranian the militant group the enemy from their official terror list washington claims the group hasn't committed a terrorist act in over a decade once a peaceful regime change in the country what is written also explains why some iranians are wary of the move mohammed shows me his box of handmade treasures

earrings tendons all made from stone the only material he could find in the prison yard. michel martin this is how we killed time and the pain from the torture and hunger i still get headaches when i remember this trauma from valley iranian soldier mohammad spent eighteen years in an iraqi jail during the one thousand nine hundred eighty s. iran iraq war he says he would have been freed earlier if he'd joined the ek the mujahideen it helped to realize the militant revolutionary group was fighting iran in authority on the side of saddam hussein and recruiting new members a month reasoners but mohamed refused either you know they were terrorists killing innocent people i couldn't have anything to do with them i betray my country then the group indeed had a very gory history in the one nine hundred sixty s. it started a bombing campaign against iran's shah and his allies they were linked to the

killing of american citizens and welcomed the u.s. embassy siege in teheran openly calling for the execution of the hostages. the terror continued after islamic revolution with the association of the country's president prime minister along with many politicians and clerics generous support from hussein it fought hard in iran as well as saddam's enemies inside iraq in one thousand nine hundred seventy and make a joint america's list of terrorist organizations along with al qaeda and hamas and was cited in arguments for the invasion of iraq today iran iraq gets to view ek as terri's group but america's position has now flipped any case as a ranch democratic ah this is just part of the large scale and successful lobby to get any case off the tower least among backers former white house officials army generals and cia chiefs clint extremely disturbing this is a this is this at the time was a terrorist group they were supposed to be paying officials and moving money around

and yet somebody was turning a blind eye to that i think that anything potentially is going to have an influence on the u.s. policy towards iran and could get us into a very dangerous position as far as potentially going to war with iraq iranian officials second that saying we came a place similar row with american backed opposition forces played in regime change in libya and in the current conflict in syria the main supporters of beasts to reduce groups or restore confidence because they use from that through to through political ads. new yorker reporter in his article called our men iran reveals how members of trained by america's joint special operations command in a camp in nevada. this is part of an anteroom policy sanctions on iran a strong but they don't seem to work very well america started using inside agents to destabilize the country and they're using terrorism as

a tool and out of those question about ties between israel and iran according to america's n.b.c. network and named u.s. officials confirmed and make a was involved in the assassination of a number of iranian nuclear scientists backed by israeli intelligence service and the sun by israel secret service this quaint tehran is named after the terrorists a man iranian nuclear scientist killed in his own car this area known as been jock is a very popular and vibrant place many people pass through here while heading to the mountains resort outside to hear on an ideal location to remind people about something that shouldn't be forgotten or forgiven. mohammad says and make a recognized as a democratic alternative to reign in authorities feel surreal to him that. nothing's changed they are terrorist tactics may be changed but still the west uses it to get information to get what they want. and the terrorists he says is likely

to keep his brutal ways to move. from iran were flying in the face of international criticism israel has announced it plans to build more settlement homes in occupied east jerusalem it brings the total number of settlements approved in the last few weeks to five and a half thousand details now from artie's. what we're witnessing is that israel is continuing with its expansion of settlements and this new announcement is that it has approved the building of some one thousand two hundred new secure homes in globe which is a neighborhood in east jerusalem across the green line it comes in less than a month after israel's controversial statement that it was planning to build in the one corridor all which links jerusalem to the west bank and this is a real line for many states and so be we've witnessed that kind of criticism and condemnation from the international community since the palestinians went to the united nations several weeks ago for upgraded statehood there have been some five

and a half thousand new secure homes announced in terms of what the israelis were building israel has undergone as i say strong international criticism for these announcements with many in the international community voicing their intense displeasure at these actions by the jewish state in fact the israel's closest ally which is the united states in a rare and blunt move said it is well was engaging in to quote a pattern of provocative action by continuing with settlement expansionist plans to make the kind of statements that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is making with his proposal and plan to go ahead with the settlement building is the current favorite among the israeli likud certain he is appealing to vie for voters and according to the polls he is likely to win in the next harlem iraqi election at the same time has largely rebuffed the criticism from the international community

saying that your use of them is the eternal capital of the state of israel and will continue to bobet and with parliamentary elections fast approaching some experts say there's going to be much more talk about the settlements. settlements is definitely within the vocabulary of talking into the center right voters so i believe that between now and twenty second of january we'll see only elevation of the discourse from the foreign minister and the round on the issue of settlements i hope that those will stay only messages which are connected to elections and not to the ality and practices on the ground of the five hundred thousand to being divided at all two hundred thousand titles within jerusalem and there is a total agreement with the palestinian side in the negotiations in the past that all the two hundred will stay inside is why we really delineate the borders of jerusalem then we have the three hundred thousand in the west bank those approximately two hundred thousand out of them which are living very close to just

sent to the green line will become part of israel within the exchange of territories and there is a minority of approximately eighty to one hundred thousand israelis which will have to be evacuated as happened in two thousand and five with our previous government of again shown in which israel evacuated approximately ten thousand which was just a good example for the fact that we can make it so between us and peace will be standing one hundred thousand israelis which will have to go over and be accepted and will be hard by israel and we compensated etc i believe that this is something which goes with the national interest of the majority of israelis. on the way egypt to get some new constitution only two years after the toppling of mubarak not everyone is happy with the chance the prospects the country's future we break down the controversy just a few minutes. and takes you foot up close and personal there

become the latest top official to defect from the regime fighting between rebels and us forces is intensifying across the country as insurgents continue their drive towards damascus. with only days left until the end of the year our team is recalling some of the most significant global events of the past twelve months today our team used teams on the back of the coverage of the american presidential debates to reveal what was happening on the sidelines with the third party candidates. we have been running the election of close to your reason for more than two weeks before the election every single day there was a story by a correspondent running wild guests on the show and cetera et cetera so given the voice through the third parties was exactly what we needed to get the full picture

. we are just a couple hours away now from the third party debate as you can see our production crew is busy transforming our studio in a debate floor one of the most important functions of democracy is to the debate a lot of discussion about a lot of issues and the more we can open up don't credit institutions like our our election system which of multiple parties to what it might even be considered fringe parties more likely we are to have an open honest debate and wide variety of issues rather than a very narrow range people often ask why is it a top four story what you know of the right heads in the country to compete and then you have to explain that there are other voices but that they're pushed out of the process because they're not part of the big party machine on foreign policy for example the alternative candidates have clearly been against military intervention is against military expansion that will fly with the four washington establishment

the other networks covered president obama and governor romney debating whatever break here in our studios we had two very serious candidates talk about very serious issues that were absent elsewhere everywhere they talked about the n.b.a. they talked about drones to talk about the war on drugs and this is something that we put together because not only do we know there was a point but our audience was asking for it we haven't seen it too much of you know in the mainstream media do you think tomorrow they will be talking about how you did impact. the election that would be the pie in the sky is that to have it die would impact the election and let me just give you a chronology of the libertarian party. you know the fact is you go from an annoyance to a spoiler to a player we really need to be framed third parties fourth parties just parties into that debate which are blocking traffic was our personality types i think feel and i . think i feel like this is

a win for the american people that we have been able to enter into this race to break into the party and offer the solutions that the american people are clamoring for. but next last part of our special report about a violent gangs in the u.s. that's right off the brink. come. true means in this is true even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms but we didn't use the art of throat

singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and dim stones of souls imitating the sounds they believe can capture the power of nature. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if danny says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument. those that have suffered a fall is because of the spirit of the horse going to his dream he said make an

instrument from a tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings. and to remember me make an engraving of my head of the instrument he did so i called the instrument again you which means come back and this melody on the instrument is called. the. two boys one of the most famous groups in the republic their next goal is to tour pro and they say for you are peons it's difficult to pick up and sing so i asked them to teach me see if i can do it. cheerily the junior. shero you shared their order that i was sure you can know who it was you take gang are all. the but now it

is the and moody part of the song and not the actual throat singing which i wouldn't even dare try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this i thought so until i met she looks like a deveny and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan. most of us to foreign minds are from two hundred years ago and feel so happy here she's not planning a professional singing career she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. wealthy british style. that's not on the title.
