washington in 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 to put the most enormous pressure on on israel either through sanctions or withdrawing or lift or lifting the trade agreement which also has a human rights clause within it israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them and could have a c. system any country in the region that has a nuclear power system turkey egypt saudi arabia all 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. and western powers are in no hurry to stop israel's
6:10 am
alleged nuclear program as they encouraged it from the outset according to ramsey prudent of palestine chronicle dot com. if israel was going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again israel is dealing with the situation where there is i would say an international conspiracy to allow israel to continue with its quest for nuclear armament if it were not for western countries now germany but also britain originally france the united states even israel would have not been able to acquire such massive destructive capabilities some estimates with them at two hundred nuclear heads 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. now may day europe is usually a time of celebration with historic labor reforms weren't before but this year it's

so-called muslim patrols are again active in london which is dante's trying to impose islamic ideals on the local population and while a string of arrests may have tempered their zeal they continue to promote their often quite radical views moderate muslim leaders fear their actions could discredit the whole community a surfer through ports. when visions of misinformation on tape find someplace serial or an unsuspecting members of the public first hit the headlines there was an outcry in britain well since then some arrests have been made because r.t.c. found out self-titled most of the pixels are still in operation the muslim community will continue to patrol the streets and clear the streets of the bus isn't illegal activities this group called themselves the shari'a project. they
6:16 am
make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol his videos cause such anger everything with things like this we're almost. out of nowhere brought to. our work. longer a little bit calmer and really focused on the rockets were launched this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same keys as the other patrols they'd never employ the same tactics. for the background. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable that have come out and decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place in. their actual actions and the sad thing is we still have. faith in you to obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as
6:17 am
a muslim is to advise my muslim brothers i see you do an action but perhaps more appropriate always advise me say what is better than many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are across the concern but if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions is wrong 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 and the you kate. and. you know they would never condone this type of behavior the groups were very clear to us that they have peaceful intentions some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme patrols while members served three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism . and it didn't take him home to make his more hardline these known. and
6:18 am
i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god did find this they should be the end point anyway and those laws that the publisher with that would go with them would be a roll makes it into the hellfire so i have no respect for whatever i asked the leader of the ship project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take it from the passive approach then i don't think you fix the country with our great country we're doing no shouting and protesting thank you forty four you start to see the sharee in britain i think some things are really costly for your day to day this in many base amongst the muslim and the white british community there are worries not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority kids have all a much larger scale so r.t. . and the leader of hezbollah has hinted that the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government rebel forces
6:19 am
have reacted furiously using rather trying to undermine the region's stability when it comes out of two massive car blasts in the space of two days in central damascus organizing these twenty people rightists ripped through a bustling square the former interior ministry building monday's attack targeted the syrian prime minister who survived one of his bodyguards was killed because sorrow a blogger on the middle east thinks syria's political opposition is distance itself from extremist red. terrorizing the population because there's a moderate 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 to try to distance itself from it's not just happened which hasn't done so far i think to this kind of confusion so i fear you want of course the west and the u.s.
6:20 am
in particular there's a syrian opposition broad i'm not really been clear and i've not taken nick condemned car bombings and similar actions clearly and kind of distanced themselves from groups that are likely to behave be behind some of them. in a week of mayhem across iraq has seen more than two hundred people killed and many more injured in the west divided since the end of the u.s. occupation it comes exactly ten years after george w. bush declared america's victory over set out to say that message is still washington's official line despite the unrelenting bloodshed that is guy to account imports many americans feel history is repeating itself. major combat operations in iraq have ended in the battle of iraq 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
6:21 am
liberation and freedom for iraqis and it didn't seem to me like that what's happening because there was all this violence that was her head she waited by our presence for years after this speech as many americans and the whole world saw iraq as a part mire washington decided to send in 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 iraq war veteran thomas young wrote a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney. was. both. born and a terrible lying in the church of american politics sometimes even doubting success can be perceived as blasphemous that's been true for the iraq surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you said that the search would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this conference viet nam we are correct or incorrect my
6:22 am
regret or no my reference to the survey and seeing what has changed. the question is where you are right or wrong my answer is i'll defer that judgment to history i think history has already made a judgment about the surge sir 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 iraq but the history that is being lived by iraqis today is one that has neither peace nor security in a country ripped apart by terror six tarion violence and fears of a looming civil war in washington i'm going to shut down. or if it seems that
