5:16 am
the massacres of multiple killings with the same accusations coming back at them syrian authorities say opposition militias were behind a bomb blast in the capital on thursday which killed dozens of civilians and adding to the tension rebel fighters are reportedly launched attacks against hezbollah targets on the syrian lebanese front activist chandan believes the syrian conflict is being deliberately pushed to right over the border. but in fairness 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 from 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 are new state will probably is not the ideal situation the ideal situation is to get the brown skinned people to do it themselves like they that they developed in the in the lebanese civil civil war so
5:17 am
for the west it's an ideal situation doesn't matter how much what capacity the f.s.a. and the other terrorists are going in syria it's the ideal situation is for them to ratchet up tensions against his will and to really not divide and rule but divide and destroy you which is the name of the imperialist game currently. and israel could be reaping benefits from the conflict next door it's awarded the first license for oil exploration in the golan heights to a u.s. based company and the region though seized from syria more than four decades ago it's still occupied by israel even though it's considered to be syrian territory internationally but as paula now explains damascus is just too exhausted by its internal battle to have 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 offer is all
5:18 am
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 the company is headed by none other than the golan heights residents and a former i.d.f. general and it could cabinet minister the company's shareholders reportedly also include rupert murdoch and one of the company's advisors is former u.s. vice president dick cheney geological terrorists have indicated that potential for oil and foreign oil discovery in the golan heights which is all captured from syria back in the one nine hundred sixty seven six day war in one nine hundred eighty israel and mixed the area in a move that is not recognized internationally the strategic area has seen exciting extensive israeli settlement construction it is also the signs of a major israeli wind turbine

a project the golan stymies has has been at the heart of previous talks between israeli and syrian leaders damascus is demanding its full return and there is concern that as the syrian revolt threatens the president bashar assad's rule israel is digging in its heels on the golan heights it was also an observation that on the eve of almost every high level visits 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. reporting was not going to. has expressed his concern at the state of the u.s. russian relationship and warning dire consequences if the deadlock over america's and t. missile defense plans is not resolved very soon least. one of the main
5:20 am
stumbling blocks in our relationship with the us is the european anti missile defense shield neither washington nor nato here are concerns about it that the system threatens us in our nuclear potential which keeps the nuclear balance in the world they are trying to placate us by saying the chute isn't ain't after us but at some other countries but this doesn't sound convincing unfortunately every month leaves us less time to reach an agreement when i was president i said the time to decide would run out by the end of the decade even a bit earlier if we cannot agree the fall out 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. and that to me too many here if they're speaking in an interview with cuba's state news agency during an official visit to the country for the trip are aimed at cementing ties between the cold war allies
5:21 am

5:22 am
small or that is anything. every comic out she can think of that's what we supply meets robin he's a successful fashion model he works for a 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 thinking you know kind of people with quirky you know expressive face has got far more work than you are fashion and advertising is changing to make room for models who look more like real people do you think now there's a strong the demand for people on your models because people are so bored of looking at the normal you know six foot to have a chisel and all of that looks exactly what you know people's body shapes some places and. we should look at them and i really embrace them 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

5:24 am
that consumers want to see models that they can identify with major fashion design is a tapping into the changes and introducing largest size says 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 will be just be fashion it's a process at the end of the day businesses want to make money so if there's a market there where you haven't actually tapped into a new you've got to do is create a bigger size the number of business men business women never do that in the same model is over you know who's one of my models sees the only models done for you my job campaign's levi days on calvin klein and these classes so you know obviously knows even down there so you know he's a supermodel for the most halls 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
