1:04 am
our past military interventions our military interventions resulted in another hundred thousand losing their lives but somehow that's justified because it's on the side of good it's on the side of the united states and i'm being facetious being facetious our military interventions don't end up improving these situations while the u.s. may not be alone eyeing a possible role in the syrian war the lebanese islamist group has says it could provide arms support for the government there after two days of terrorist bombings in damascus that have left scores there and it's still coming up. am sure eighty four days of the one time of a hunger strike rock obama reacts to once again attempt to shut down the detention camp saying it goes against the american away. now israel will soon get its fifth dolphin class submarine believed to be capable

of launching cruise missiles with nuclear warheads the country's defense ministry has announced the move comes and spite of tel aviv's decades long policy of remaining silent on its alleged nuclear weapons that confirmed arsenal is assumed to be behind egypt's hot blooded decision to pull out from nuclear nonproliferation talks in geneva warned that from artie's policy or. carlos is it is withdrawing from a second week of the nonproliferation treaty talks in geneva in protest against what it is calling the failure to implement a nine hundred ninety five resolution for a middle east free of nuclear weapons now the cairo argument is an implicit reference to israel that has never either confirmed or denied having nuclear arms and it is also not a signatory to the nonproliferation treaty arab states and iran say that israel's presumed nuclear arsenal poses a threat to peace in the middle east as well as security in

a statement by the egyptian foreign ministry its it was pulling out of the talks to quote send a strong message of non acceptance of the continued lack of seriousness in dealing with the establishment of a nuclear free zone in the middle east caro went on to say that it cannot continue waiting forever for the implementation of this with a new show and now the egyptians are calling on member states and international bodies to be able sponsibility again quoting implementing legitimate international resolutions the argument however from the israeli side as well as the american side is that a nuclear arms free zone in the middle east cannot be a reality until there is a broad arab israeli peace plan in place and iran could see its nuclear program the meeting currently underway in geneva is aimed at reviewing progress in implementing the nine hundred seventy nonproliferation treaty which is designed to prevent the spread of nuclear arms across the world i was spoke to a british member of parliament german corgan who's also vice chairman of the
1:07 am
campaign for nuclear bomb and he says that a nuclear free middle east will remain elusive unless washington and brussels pressure israel to stop its atomic activities. well israel depends very heavily on trade with the european union and military aid from the united states we need action urgently by those two key players in the situation the most enormous pressure on israel either through sanctions or drawing or lift a lift of your trade agreement which also has a human rights clause who then israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them could have a sea based system any country in the region that has a nuclear power system turkey egypt saudi arabia or could develop their own nuclear weapons if they wish to clearly the danger now is very nuclear arms race in the middle east with all the terrible consequences that that could bring about if

ever they should be used but western powers are in no hurry to stop israel's alleged nuclear program as they encouraged it from the outset as ramzy baroud editor of palestine chronicle dot com. if israel was going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again the israel is dealing with the situation there's i would say an international conspiracy to allow israel to continue with this quest for nuclear armament if it were not for western countries supports now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capability as some assume it's with the two hundred nuclear warheads but others say about four hundred if not even more there is absolutely no need for israel to develop enough weapons to destroy the middle east several times over in the name of security you can't be achieving security at the expense of world peace while those that would ten years since

washington declared victory in iraq what followed was a devastating and hugely expensive war with consequences the both countries are still struggling to deal with yet washington still insists the whole venture was a success. record unemployment collapsing confidence and a raging debt crisis but brussels says brighter times are have for europe predicting block y. growth next year sure if we hear from the experts on what's behind the optimism. so-called muslim patrols are again active in london with vigilantes trying to impose islamic ideals on the local population and while arrests may have tampered the activist zeal they continue to promote their views some of which are quite radical but moderate muslim leaders fear their actions could discredit the whole community for us now reports. but that is of misinformation on taste find some pay

serial or an unsuspecting members of the public first hit the headlines there was an outcry in person well since then some arrests have been made found out of missing the patrols are still in operation this group called themselves the shari'a project. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his video is cool such anger with things like this we're almost we're really. really. good i wish. i were. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused. on this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same he's asked the other patrols they've never employed the same tactics. to the bank.
1:11 am
i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable that have come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. their actual actions and things we still. fight today obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise most of brother if i see him do an action appropriate always advised. this in many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are concerned with that it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions and i'm representing. these individuals are a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million muslims in the case and they you know they would never. condone this type of behavior. both the groups were very clear to us that
1:12 am
they have peaceful intentions some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme not the trolls the woman the three and a half years in prison in charges of terrorists fund raising and inflating terrorism agency and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline peas known all the man to go to hell i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god define of this nation would be the end point anyway and those laws that they establish with that would go with them would for how to roll makes it into the empire so i have no respect for visual whatsoever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take the front of houses approach that i don't think you fix the country and these are great but you were doing no shouting protesting your food before you started to sharif richard you something to reach to see for fuel gauge and to trace the body base amongst the muslim and the like to push to me to see their worries

not just about these actions but about the potential with the questions where the cities move minority kids have on a much larger scale so. although we are of house has hinted that the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government and this comes after two massive car blasts in the space of two days that ripped through central damascus killing more than twenty people local correspondent of dollars ini witnessed the latest explosion. it was only something like one minute or two minutes away three met when they passed through the year the big explosion destroyed most of the historic square which is called maggi in the middle of can i ask this it's very close to the. building of the mystery of the studio i have seen that did by the spreading wall and i have seen three with no heads and they have seen how the scars rushed inside the square from everywhere

how this caused this to go and how the security came in to. see how people were crying and where they're. going and weeping over their destroyed their properties all around the area with the attack on prime minister convoy we can see many similarities previous. to that was targeting the prime minister but it. kinda garden and the school and. its very crowded square it's full of people every time the one who was doing the same to the two placing. exactly that this is. only see video and this has only civilians and this is the same way that happened with. the way of doing business and doing good things. blogger on the middle east thinks
1:15 am
the syrian opposition movement has failed to distance itself extremist elements among the rebels. somewhere responsibility and if the syrian opposition read represents you know the other factions on the ground in syria then you should take responsibility as well for stopping those actions and at least it should distance itself from the groups not just the newsroom which hasn't done so far i think to this kind of confusion so i fear the new one or both. the west and the u.s. in particular and the leaders of the syrian opposition the broad i've not really been clear enough not they can make condemned car bombings and similar actions clearly and kind of distanced themselves from the groups that are likely to behind be behind some of them. and more world news coming up in just a moment. welcome

the united states and around. have prevailed president george w. bush delivered the message on may the first two thousand and three a declaration of success followed by years of bloody war when bush made that speech i was in the military and public affairs that was the stated mission you know liberation and freedom for iraqis and it didn't seem to me like that happening because there was all this violence that was her head she waited by our presence for years after the speech as many americans and the whole world saw iraq as a heart monitor washington decided to sending twenty thousand more troops that surge cost the u.s. the lives of more than a thousand soldiers and many billions of dollars of taxpayers' money on his deathbed of the iraq war veteran thomas young wrote a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney. was. both. born here while lying in the church of american politics sometimes even doubting success

can be perceived as blasphemous that's been true for the rack surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you shit that the search would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since viet nam we are correct or incorrect by right or no my reference to what is. the question is were you right or wrong my answer is i'll defer that judgment to history i think history has already made a judgment about the searcher and you're on the wrong side of it chuck hagel is reference to vietnam was not uncalled for years into the vietnam war even as most americans saw the involvement there is a mistake thousands of u.s. troops continue to die because washington didn't want to admit it someone has to die and so that president nixon won't be and these are his words the first president to lose a war supporters of president bush say history will treat him more kindly regarding

happened as the e.u. released new unemployment figures revealing that joblessness in march was at an all time high this by bad news across the walk the european commission is actually predicting growth for the monetary union x. year but some experts say that's unrealistic probably what the european commission is about predicting economic growth for cost and you could probably run on the back of a postage stamp to be honest with you i think. that is very good prospect of the european or the growing at any point in the future what i would say is that. even if you level the playing field at the moment you took away all the day all the problems in europe and six sixteen we difficult to see how it would grow going forward because in order to compete with the chinese and the indians and the canadians of the australians what europe needs is to be regulated small kids and to cut the bureaucracy and the red tape and the on elected officials that basically run it what europe is in fact doing at the moment is the exact opposite it hasn't even begun to tackle its problems yet and in fact while i would argue is that it's
1:22 am
actually doing exactly the wrong thing european vision has been falling apart the years but unfortunately people who run europe have still got that vision and a still hell bent on pursuing that vision. you know i think the two are a good start to have doubts at this stage and you know that is very very worrying for europe going forward as well. u.s. president barack obama has finally broken his silence over the ongoing hunger strike at the guantanamo bay prison renewing calls to shut down the facility he call a camp quote a problem that is only going to fester the statement came after medical staff arrived at the prison to treat at least one hundred inmates or refusing food can stone from hamilton coalition to stop the war thanks washington is just trying to reduce its reputational damage. i think the u.s. authorities are in damage control mode now because they know that with every prisoner who dies in guantanamo bay the negative attention of the world is going to
