seamer rebels squeeze mu out of the floor in the patrons in a diplomatic standoff with the media appointed u.s. secretary of state john kerry promising aid in return for just getting them to. play good cop bad cop with the run juggling sanctions and rewards in a bid to close the islamic republic into abandoning nuclear enrichment. and ungovernable only the center left coalition claims away first in victory in the lower house but all important senate result is still too close to call as the last votes are counted. and the round the world this isn't she was me thanks for joining us. the new u.s.

secretary of state's fast assignment has seen him give in to pressure from the sea were in opposition he pledged more aid in return for the rebels agreeing to talk john kerry along with his work as counterpart william hague has made concessions in order to draw in the sewer a national coalition to the upcoming friends of syria me saying the group initially refused to go to the gathering of its global supporters accusing them of not doing enough to overthrow the assad regime about guys i mean it's now believe international supporters are being blackmailed by the group they helped create. both countries pledged more aid so now they're coming and i think it's sort of outrageous that they just expect people to give them aid you know they want more they want lethal aid and i think they're really clamoring for that united states is really bad luck funneling arms into conflicts everything from the soviet period in afghanistan to what happened when they attacked libya and gadhafi is arms ended up

in mali i think it's better to get with this negotiating process they had to bribe them to get to get him to do that i don't think they want any negotiation and i think they'll probably try to block at this point because i think they think they're winning and when you're winning the war at least you think you're winning it i'm not saying they're really winning it but they're going to be intransigent and they'll want to see how it plays out on the battlefield. the pledges that led to the syrian rebels you turn came in with the secretary of state's visit to the u.k. the first stop on a diplomatic marathon during his talks in london john kerry praised the woman relations with some politicians that doubt whether they bring anything positive. tony blair formed a very close relationship with george bush took a straight into the war in afghanistan and later on accepted all those arguments bush used about iraq and britain was then deeply committed in iraq and as

a result we've been involved in two major wars we lost a very large number of soldiers spent a vast amount of money and made the world an infinitely more in secure place we've also damaged civil liberties in our own country just as much as the united states has with its department of homeland security and all the controls that go with that and i think we need to examine the whole strategy of the west involving itself in iraq then later libya and now syria to some extent and wonder if we're not really heading off in a completely wrong direction as if all this isn't enough a new adventure is broken out in north africa where britain understand. the deployment of forces over process. and the lack of harmony in relations between washington and moscow will provide the bond drop to john kerry's meeting with russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov in berlin later on tuesday as our season he said now reports they have a lot to talk about. conflict in syria miss out on defense and u.s.

expansion of projects in eastern europe plus iran and north korea's nuclear programs amid test and escalating rhetoric these issues have been on the table for years now let's take a closer look at some of them syria ripped apart by violence for two years now a militant opposition there trying to force out president also that russia from the beginning has pushed for a diplomatic solution and avoiding intervention at all costs while saying that time is limited moscow still believes negotiations are the way to go the u.s. has constantly called for asa to step down while supporting rebels despite them not being able to unify or willing to sit down for talks with asad a strictly one sided solution although recently the obama administration has taken a more distant tone on syria perhaps thanks to fallout from other arab spring countries like libya and egypt the nuclear ambitions of iran and north korea remain

high on the agenda especially with north korea's recent underground test but again while both russia and the u.s. condemn any nuclear steps or weaponization the two differ greatly on how to deal with them russia's against threats of more sanctions or further isolation while the u.s. has gone as far as saying military intervention it's not off the table especially in the case of iran in europe and u.s. plans to expand on missile defense systems and russia's concerns over its national security are considered the number one issue to have sidetracked a so-called reset but a shadow over bilateral relations is now russian children adopted by american parents the latest russian child to die might seem mean three years old only moscow was informed of the tragedy a month after mark seems death his legs head and internal organs of the edge of the severely bruised my feet was adopted. a u.s.

family from the same orphanage as dimitri yakovlev died of heat stroke in two thousand and eight after being left inside an overheated car you have good lives name is now the title of a rush limbaugh that prohibits the adoption of russian children by u.s. citizens but critics say the law it's too harsh while supporters claim it's the only thing to be done until the u.s. can assure the safety of russian adoptees and adequate justice for violent crimes against children. another of obama's recent nominations this time the new military chief faces his latest battle today and coming up later on the program for somewhere chuck hagel stands after being hung out to dry in the better part of the standoff. the cost of his sonali doubles with african nations now demanding almost a billion dollars to maintain a force that has its own plans for the region or to the details and if you're.

having tried the steak it'll reportedly be the current for iran today as well powers meet with tehran its nuclear representatives in kazakhstan according to sources the islamic republic will even be offered a let up also actions tehran shuts down a fortified nuclear site buried in a mountain and hold some of its enrichment activities in return according to reports sanctions on the trade in gold and precious metals could be lifted the measures along with an oil embargo have put tremendous pressure on iran but as aussies maria say no shore ports now they've also prepares the ground for some of the country's exports. the international ban on iranian oil cost the country around forty billion dollars in two thousand and twelve according to the u. but despite this huge gap in iran's income officials have some good news indeed harsh sanctions normal experts have increased by at least thirty percent from ego.

so what may look like a bird may actually play a positive role we've been asking our government for many years to decrease dependence on oil to at least fifty percent was too high up around eighty percent making our economy too vulnerable some say today is a historic opportunity to finally get rid of this dangerous oil dependence and iran actually has a lot of alternative resources to feed from from well known copperheads to date via minerals and stones between wanting destry input to. appears to be thriving these days iran's famous discussions have been going through tough times in the last couple of years heavy frosts and terrible droughts have been damaging large parts of the harvest but this year with the country under tough economic sanctions the stoushes are doing better than ever. our currency ryall fell by almost forty percent in october but i sell the statues both at home and abroad and i benefited from price rises i saw

a three hundred percent increase in profits comparing of the previous year. the red and the stuff shows are exposed to more than one hundred countries worldwide but even if farmers cannot send in the broad confident business moving main rates every iranian can consume two kilograms per day exactly that much our country produces so we'll be ok we can eat our own nuts ourselves. thousands of industry workers also benefit which has them overcome the country's highest inflation. the amount of production and price of the shares affect our salaries every year the add ten to twenty percent of my salary i have some bonus to my daily payments. but producers seem to be more protected than exporters while international sanctions stones directly target the food industry current measures affect the banking system making financial transactions a hard nut to crack. sanctions don't affect pistachios at all but we have problems

with getting our money back it takes more time and effort but this is the reality they also penalize the banks that. are not in u.s. and europe they may be in china or south america they penalize them for dealing with iraq that that's the main that's the main problem which is actually a good internationally iran and produces say a good stuff here is this money one is shells for. we have opened but now the ad a good to start here is the one that manages to earn some cash for its country if all is of leg old the new vista shows must be a green one at least for iran locals say these small knots have great how benefits especially for the man well to the country it also gives strength iran's biggest mall expert has always been a significant source of revenue and as the latest round of sanctions poshest ever bites it's also something iran may have to rely on even more than before. t.

from iran. bradley manning faces pretrial hearings the alleged whistleblower is supported by alex ross worldwide with stage two rallies to mark one thousand days of his detention which they say is unlawful and also your head. and also coming out one welfare is unfair u.k. unemployment benefits lead to generations giving up and going to walk because it's more lucrative to take government print outs. the african peacekeeping force to be based in mali will cook excuse me will cause donations twice the previous estimate according to ivory coast foreign minister the price has risen to almost a billion dollars and sons could be planning to keep its own a rapid reaction force in west africa after its military operation that ends a move that will only further destabilize the region says lawrence freeman head of

the african desk at the executive intelligence review magazine. what's going to happen now is that you can see a reliance on special forces from the french of the us so additional support is going to come from the united states and probably wasn't from great britain and the african troops are going to be then left with the task of actually carrying out the a limited rooting out the jihadist extremists and this is going to be very coarsely so france will stay there as they expected in various ways u.s. and britain will stay there and expand their operation and the african soldiers are going to be the ones we're going to be dying carrying out this attack on the islam system and this is all not going to lead to any positive solution north africa the sash there is a hell they're all going to be. the state allies these countries as a result of this policy and that's exactly what tony blair announced on very

thoroughly he said north africa is where we're going to be for the next generation . the results of the it's not an election are a knife that was the last of votes counted and despite the slimmest of knowledge is center left comes that luigi bersani has been declared we know the house but silvio berlusconi's party has asked for more time for the loss was to be time had a majority in both houses of parliament is needed to govern as a result for the upper house remains too close to call and political analysts paolo before a sas travelling italians feel let down by that politicians people who need to be out of state in measures which have not produced the structural reforms of the society in order to have a trustable future for those who are already working and for those who have land to do the work force people are tired of promises which have not been fulfilled the

center left is. getting what it was already seen in the polls lections but certainly many people are wondering why they didn't make the reforms in the previous the stations where they had the majority so the situation is very chaotic at the moment it is not certain that the government can be forged if not a coalition government involving almost all the major political forces that are present in the parliament. those markets lose ground sharply at the prospect of a hung parliament because the report turns its attention to the fixing of interest rates that's coming up at seven am trente. in this case there were thousands of e-mails between thousands of traders or actually a few dozen traders saying set the rules at a rate that is not true for me and they're saying about this is somehow complicated

that we can't do anything about it because there are signs of innocence outside the circle of the actual writers of interest being committed somewhere in the universe should we apply a standard of guilt to this admission of guilt by a just peace yet i just recently admitted that there are a lot of money and financing general but somebody somewhere down into some actual thing in a parallel universe perhaps so can we call it just to. give you say oh oh wow first three thousand mexicans headless because you've got to go very good i just created a better terrorist but. because after all somebody committed it is a back somewhere. out along partisan fueled standoff adama speak for secretary of defense is to be voted on today chuck hagel drew the republicans from the al said due to a number of these unorthodox stances close to performance at his initial confirmation hearing didn't help either oh he's going there to check on explains. a

number of republican senators including john mccain say chuck hagel is not qualified for the job but they indicate that they're going to allow the full senate to vote because what happened ten days ago was that the senators voted to postpone the vote and to continue the debate so it's all likely that they're going to keep stalling the vote over those confirmation and he will be confirmed there's no doubt about that the votes are there but the humiliation that he had to go through during these last few months sent a message all by itself right now chuck hagel is this repenting figure who keeps apologizing for the positions he had taken before for the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator the congress effectively showed their readiness to destroy anyone who would allow themselves to descend from washington's core foreign policy belief so despite all the apologizing that mr hague old has done one senator said that he

almost had tears in his eyes as he apologized for his earlier statement about the israeli about the influence of these really a lobby so despite all the repentance chuck hagel has still been under attack in some point the conservative media got so carried away that they misinterpreted someone's joke about a chart tables association with a group of friends of hamas and they were in such a rush to break the story that they failed to check whether the group even exists and it doesn't so chuck hagel has been under attack not just for his previous statements but also for what he had never said and done. so the next defense secretary will have to deal with one notorious company law in the keys of many people using its cozy relationship with the government to get out of trouble private contracts of a kind to me the new name of blackwater as kate was little more than a slap on the wrist of a new marketing scoundrel and michael o'brien also have a book called america's failing the wrong things it's essential immune to protect

prosecution. they're just follow on charges after the the debacle at mr square in baghdad in september of two thousand and seven. course that was where the seventeen iraqis were were killed you can say they were you know murdered needlessly killed whatever the case may be these are follow on charges that were. pushed against blackwater course that that's the old name the company technically doesn't exist that way they can you know technically legally will sever the relationship it seems like it was. the that a deal was struck with the prosecution they dropped the charges three people were just to walk to the charges were reduced to five thousand dollars for i'm slap on the wrist i think it also there's house arrest for four months or so. and the other thing too is they they claim that they were buying these weapons for the cia and the cia said we don't know what they're talking about and the thing about it is who

knows i mean maybe they were but it seems to me that the cia has ways of getting their own weapons i need it just doesn't make a lot of sense and the cia just if they if it was true the cia left them hanging. eleven people dead millions of barrels of oil poured into the sea we is on from the environmental catastrophe b.p. is going to court on charges of gross negligence find out just how much the editor john could be forced to shell out in damages on a web page. news to good house go to l.t. dot com for the details on a new law signed by president putin that aims to save them and sell them.

britain's unemployment benefits and to provide a safety net for anyone between jobs and looking for the next career opportunity only for some big payout so attractive getting out of bed to go to work doesn't seem worth it all he's pointed boyko explains i couldn't really believe my luck to be on the story when it was just a dream i thought this was amazing you know british government is helping me out so you know i needed somewhere to live and i don't have a job not the words you expect to hear from someone who's fallen on hard times housing benefits allowed stephanie to rent a flat in this sport a block in london's glitzy mayfair by myself i could always barely afford a studio in central london when i was working and. looking for a job and so intro in the spacious flat it just makes you really lazy it's a sprawling and complicated system but one that allows

a family of four to claim up to thirty five thousand pounds a year from housing to child care and unemployment benefits i've known people on benefits and they've been able to afford new cars. that the being able to afford to go abroad on holiday i've never actually been abroad on holiday before in my life so how when they're with can they afford a good quality when they're on benefits and i'm workin and are coming forward to do that. that's what makes me angry. place. is the growth and growth before world starts to do things for people there's no doubt but for a certain segment of society we basically have communities embedded in well for generations of people who have not worked the welfare state was all the idea of a man who might well be turning in his grave william beverages an idea of the five

giant evils of society squalor ignorance want idleness and disease some of the very qualities that critics say the system encourages beverage was in fact welfare should only provide you with subsistence levels of support and it should only do so for a short period of top seventy years down the line and welfare spending is the biggest item of government expenditure milking it is so widespread it's become a source of satire you know ever we're told there would be no disability allowance that he worked at docklands. you think you can get managed just ability allowance he's got a bone to see which call. westminster now wants to make it clear that benefit on to a career path and coming through the doors of your local job center a year in and year out filling in

a few forms and claiming your money is no longer an option but for people that have been through the experience of claiming unemployment benefit they say it's all too easy to get no money and no one's really checking whether or not you're genuinely looking for work. artsy. and let's not try what else is happening around the world this hour hundreds of demonstrators in uruguay as congress will until the day of health protests against a new law all they see is on to human rights on sunday this. supreme court ruled that crimes committed by the military dictatorship are not allowed to be investigated the judges said the government came to power in the seventy's had been granted amnesty by two referendums which still hold legal power. the somalian army is supported by an african union mission has stepped up an offensive against the bases of an al qaeda links rebel group the plan to secure more key towns having already seized six to teacher positions in the last ten days

a one hundred days off were obvious whenever a sentence of any he ends up with so the judge doesn't recognize the government did by the law and went to bars that's a positive it is and i hope that the judge will recognize that delaying this trial where they have is enough reason to dismiss the case a certain point all of the government's outages add up and the outrageous government conduct me recognizing the case and it is the music business especially issues you should not have served in one day if you will look forward you've got a first look back and recognize when the crimes were committed and hold people accountable who did it and unfortunately president obama did i do that and say he's only was a war that you know he's used the espionage act more than every other president combined it's a disgrace it's a nontransparent administration is ever to stop people from coming forward and reporting crimes of the united states and its activities abroad. as the news for now you know coming your way in whole thing our next news documentary.
