a political crisis it can be resolved only by political means by sending in the warriors the troops the planes and the bombings actually doesn't resolve and as we can see it's actually exacerbating all that and they claim that they have been invited to come into mali by a government that is being an illegitimate government and it's outrageous that the u.n. should do so should such or such a policy i guess you national feel that this is what what needs to be rewarded. and from artificial ears to rocket parts three d. printing is touted as the next big thing and whatever we could use the technology to bring someone from history back to life. if you read it you're walking around his beard to get a top that would be like what the how did you do with this country wow i. was

targets on the syrian lebanese border and activists. believe the syrian conflict is being deliberately pushed over the border. what insurers has been trying to orchestrate in syria is also trying to impact on his blog which is a historical revenge act especially to see much of the resistance movement hizbullah expelled the israeli occupation in two thousand and also beat them in a battle in july two thousand and six now an open confrontation with hizbollah by means of nato or particularly the white settlers on the state will probably is not the ideal situation the ideal situation is to get brown skinned people to do it themselves like like they that they developed in the in the lebanese civil civil war so for the west it's an ideal situation doesn't matter how much what capacity f.s.a. and the other terrorist have got in syria it's the ideal situation is for them to ratchet up tensions against his blood and to really not divide and rule but divide

and destroy it which is the name of the imperialist game currently and they could be reaping benefits from the conflict next door so it has a waters the fast license for oil exploration in the golan heights to a u.s. based company the original seized from syria move that forty years ago that and it's still occupied by israel even though it's considered syrian territory internationally but as aussies poulos explains now damascus is too exhausted by its internal battle to deal with israeli expansion. israel has awarded its first ever license to drill for oil in the golan heights to an american energy company this is according to sources in the energy sector who say that after israel decided last year to allow for oil and gas exploration in the golan djimi energy was awarded the license to drill but the new jersey based company still needs further work permits for drilling to commence and this is a process that could still take several years to come to me is headed by none other

on the eve of almost every high level visit to israel by american officials the israeli government has without fail angered the americans by coming up for example with announcements of settlement expansion in the west bank president obama is due to visit israel at the end of march and no doubt the state department is likely to criticize this permit as they do not recognize the area as being part of israel. and now to some international news in brief this hour in yemen four people have been killed while protesting in favor of some independence during the war again a virtue of the president being elected is sold for to move all wounded after security forces fired on the crowd in the main square of aden a poor city in the south. of police were deployed forces trying to keep separatists apart from another rally in support of the president. one hundred demonstrators hopes to shawn that i can get plans for months if action from a bowling cultural center that doubles as

a bit earlier if we cannot agree the fallout for international relations could be very unpleasant because we would have to issue our own reply and it would have to be issued by any russian leadership. he was speaking or interview with cuba's state news agency during an official visit to the country the trip aimed at cementing ties between the cold war allies has seen moscow right old part of cuba's soviet era dead as well as a great deal to lease jets russia's prime minister has also paid tribute to sell its soldiers has said it took part in a wreath laying ceremony in the capital tehran a along president raul castro now a quarter woman in the u.k. now i'll be supporting to new statistics from the national health service that that's a rise of term percent in just two decades but if you took your cues from the media you'd be forgiven for thinking that all women were tall and slim and all men toned

and well muscled all those are reports now there are signs the fashion industry is starting to change with the times. that a very very ugly said card to modeling say character means fat being large small i don't think there's anything because every part of carrots you can think of that's what was a part meets robin he's a successful fashion model he works for london agency i'll be representing over a thousand models aged eighteen to one hundred in the most diverse shapes and sizes it's really important to her character prices in the industry and i think you know there's enough good looking people around. me why i'm not think you know kind of people with quirky you know expressive price has got far more work coming to our fashion and advertising is changing to make room for models who look more like real people do you think now that there's a strong lead to model for people on your models because people so bored of looking at the no more you know six foot to have

a person all of that looks exactly right you know people's body shapes and faces and. so we should look at them and i really embrace some really katie green found out all about the pressures of the fashion industry when she was chosen to be the face of wonderbra and signed to a major modeling agency they asked me for me thing and then they told me i needed some news to start now i'm five foot ten and the size twelve i would have just been about the bones you know i'm perfectly healthy as it is and they wants me to lose two so that's a size eight i called my parents after the maids and just in floods of tears saying that they confronted but it's been a model five years and she's not only working as a successful plus size model but it's also campaigning to ban underweight models from catwalks and fashion spreads it's all persons the functions i was princes of big campaigns they're also somebody who looks so slowly and none of us will no doubt will ever be made here is the very sort of fantasy related industry it's all

based on airbrushing and nothing in these magazines is real the majority of british women now measuring the size. fourteen or above design a sample size that a skinny model wears down the catwalk is a minuscule size zero the difference is huge big brands of beginning to realize that consumers want to see models that they can identify with major fashion designers are tapping into the changes and introducing largest size is definitely some type of shake up going on in the industry enough big that you know in the future you're different you see that this becomes more the norm and we probably won't call it anymore it probably just be fashion it's a profit at the end of the day businesses want to make money so if there's a market there where you haven't actually talked to two and you you've got to do is create a bigger size the numbers show business men business women never do that in this model is over you know who's one of my models sees the only models done for you my job to come by and leave by day's own telling time these classes so there's no

other suit mosier done so you know he's a supermodel with almost half of u.k. women now officially plus size and individuality suddenly on trend it seems that the fashion industry is finally waking up to reality. i see london is my course to nominate below but we now have the technology to actually print three d. objects from shrews stood by x. to artificial limbs and one day we could resurrect someone from the past that way so who would you choose a sportsman a political a politician perhaps and or hoffman stormed as the streets of new york now to find out just who people would like to see among them.

who would you three d. print from history this week let's talk about that i mean reported for you so in the life of a character oh yeah like super mario or. their elmo yeah i got it thirty were my best friends oh someone you know that's a good idea for to douglas. want you to king. and malcolm x. do you think that they would appreciate where society is today to be honest with you they would be a little disappointed abraham lincoln yaf the classic president right as it were everybody says no no and said that yes i mean lincoln's pretty hot great nel you know people like lincoln him walking around his beard would be good yeah yeah and he'd be like what the hell did you do with this country while i've been dead lloyd and i guess the purpose of these questions is to see you know how the past would

deal with the president yeah definitely what do you how do you think they would deal with it i mean how would mozart deal with music sampling you know reproductions of like that that would be amazing to see what he would do he would probably lay off the auto and you don't know the bottom line is three d. printing technology is developing extremely fast so let's just hope the people in control of it use it for the good of humanity. and i say aussies the kaiser report just.

if you have a business than you need customers right this is perhaps the simplest law of capitalism but if your business is making juvenile prisons how are you going to attract more customers by bribing judges into condemning innocent children so you'll have all of the captives i mean customers that you need to charge mark c. of a junior from pennsylvania has been sentenced to twenty eight years in prison for illegally accepting money from a juvenile prison developer the pennsylvania supreme court determined that he may have unlawfully convicted up to five thousand youths some of whom were just ten years old for crimes they didn't commit this is obviously sickening a total exploitation of power but the thing we need to think about is the fact that the us has by far the world's largest prison population and a booming prison industry it leads me to believe that may be this one scumbag judged.
