10:16 am
because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a lot to be issued soon that further guarantees yes we have a problem related to banning some websites but that's to protect bahrain from six here in ethnic problems and violence and not any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own center for a moderate which i work for website is a blog we have almost more than four hundred website out of block or more of the most of them are here moderates or political upside although of certain behead our block we have only facebook and twitter there are many which is not the blog. sayed

reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. if you today the ku klux klan is trying to make a comeback in america's south as the city of memphis braces for the largest ever to be extreme move in support of the organizers claiming there's a good reason for the rally. to get out of the way when we have stunning footage of a new being hit by a whale. bartie for that and other eye catching videos. heroism but with an expiry date that appears to be the case for the u.k. army veterans are being denied russian bravery medals because events they took part in were more than five years ago. to reward thousands of british troops who guarded
10:19 am
crucial convoys that supply the u.s.s.r. during world war two. has more. imagine doing a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardships all in the name of helping in their lives imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to award them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys have delivered
10:20 am
thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between one hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the route to went from north america iceland and the u.k. it's made it look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the conway's were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and when humans were in the problem the convoys often filled victim to the horrendous storms in the icy cold waters of the arctic that was some seventy years ago and many of the veterans feel they may not live to see the day the u.k. very wards them with its old version of the metal and for some there is a feeling of bitterness feeling they're being refused a metal that they truly deserve what. not just from the sheer might polish them. to may. also we were what we could. do so. we went to
10:21 am
do job. nothing that. was on my voice or. another. down there good job you know mother ship might know all there was sick of metal has been created to reward those fighting at sea for bravery it's one of the highest military decoration in russia its importance as such but it has been retained from the soviet union era because of the magnitude of feeds it was awarded for so there are issues that will to let a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of modern history makes veterans wonder what's behind the reason if it had been america through all of this medal which are many not served on the american i agree when i was in shanghai and china cities but. let me tell you they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to the. for their
10:22 am
part so many british veterans such as john seem open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia. yes. session. over a few years ago left there for a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you. a surprise possession to may just not only beddoes but they're coming from russia this will be extra special but unfortunately in their decision making process it appears the u.k. government did not consider the feelings of its country settlements. there are some other international news in brief for you this hour at least one person has been killed as ferocious storm neemo part of the northeast of the united states the blizzard has already caused massive blackouts in that more than six hundred fifty thousand homes without electricity prompting the government to declare a state of emergency in five states five thousand flights have also been canceled.

10:25 am
to what it attracts you there. would you ever consider protesting topless for a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe you are not but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with the kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if he'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. let him out lady the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally.

well coming up in a couple of minutes it's breaking the set it has to be. secretary of state hillary clinton recently testified to congress in regards to the attack on the u.s. consulate was killed an american ambassador in benghazi libya during the testimony couldn't rather calmly said you know things like that the revolutions that sprang up during the arab spring like in libya the events in mali have created instability and safe havens for terrorists and she made it clear that there is no doubt that
10:27 am
the algerian terrorists had weapons from libya so the us secretary has basically admitted that the actions of the usa and nato have caused a mass instability that has allowed the seeds of terrorism to grow when the justification for most of the actions in the muslim world is to stop evil dictators who harbor terrorists or spread chatting to mock recy if libya would have been left alone algerian terrorists wouldn't be getting any weapons from it now this is like an exterminator accidentally or maybe on purpose actually feeding the roaches in your basement so that there are ten times more of them and then saying that he has to keep working because he's the only one who can get rid of the roaches people like hillary clinton who support funding brutal jihad it's rebel groups to overthrow governments to somehow bring about stability and democracy are either dismally stupid or consciously running a very brutal con game but that's just my opinion.
