12:05 pm
of business if they can no longer meet the needs of the market but the free market ideology only works really for poor people i mean for for many years the rich have always been joyed the protection of the state and you know the bailout of two thousand and eight was just a. long tradition of such bailouts no no no that's silly like we were doing well when we were a capitalist economy and will do well again once we get past says idiocy of trying to go a mixed economy but don't blame capitalism for the fact that we don't have as much as we need. to do with. israel there's about two hours to its fleet of submarines which i thought capable of launching nuclear missiles the country still denies though possessing atomic

weapons although the suspicion is enough to remain a deep source of regional tension it was sufficient a deed to make egypt walk out of nuclear talks on monday's artie's pulis leader explains. carlos says 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 one 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 addition 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 freezone in the middle east chemically a reality until there is a broader 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 of troops will come from the talks the us newsreels nuclear arms freezone in the middle east could not be realized unless around curbs its atomic. nuclear. blowing a rumor to distract people from what israel is up to. it's easier to shift
12:08 pm
shift attention away from israel by blaming iran and that seems to be the strategy of both israel and the us a very coordinated strategy it's interesting the united states complains about iran or north korea but it helps india it helps israel it helps certain countries develop nuclear weapons so it's really a very hypocritical. process and we all should remember that the united states is indeed the only untrue that is ever used nuclear weapons in this world but we're the biggest complainer about certain countries maybe possibly having them when in fact israel does indeed have and nothing is done about that well there are calls for washington in brussels to step in now pretty champagne jeremy called and is
12:09 pm
also from the campaign for nuclear disarmament told me otherwise the regional consequences might be devastating well israel depends very heavily on trade with the european union and military aid from the united states we need action by those two key players in the situation because the most enormous pressure on israel either through sanctions or withdrawing a or lift a lifting the trade agreement which also has human rights close within israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them and could have a safety 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. former u.s. president george w. bush says he's comfortable about having unleashed the war in iraq is coming up now

a still in operation for the muslim community to continue patrolling the streets and clear the streets of the bus isn't illegal activities this group called themselves the shari'a project. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline missile and patrol he did a school such anger recently with things like this we almost recall we were. really . good i were proud of. our work. a little longer to recover and really focus from. this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same views as the other patrol never employed the same question tactics. to the bank. looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable but. decided to take some kind of action against you know things taking place. of all the actual actions and
12:12 pm
the shouting that we've seen but it's quite fitting obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise my muslim brothers i see you do an action that perhaps more appropriate always advise me to say what is better that for many in the mainstream islam community these patrols 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 in the u.k. and they 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 one member served three and a half years in britain in charges of terrorist fundraising and inciting terrorism

a.c.s. and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline viz known to the northern alliance to go to him i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve anyone it's a good final decision would be the end point anyway and those laws establishment that would go with them would for. example into him fire 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 on the passive approach then i don't think you think the country will be right so we're doing no shouting and protesting your food before you start to see the sharif return i think you something don't really see. your day to day this in many both amongst the muslim and the why to push this community. not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority kids have on

12:16 pm
a declaration of success followed by years of bloody work 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 this 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 iraq war veteran thomas young brutal letter to george w. bush and dick cheney the one good move was. both. born in the terrible 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 said that the search would be the most

syria's rebels may get lethal american weaponry senior u.s. officials say barack obama take a more aggressive leadership role among and allies the president told reporters there's evidence indeed the chemical arms have been used in syria and threaten that action but only referring to president assad if he had used it when a port takes up the story. the only option that he gave was a scenario in which he said if the u.s. finds out that the syrian government has used chemical weapons against the rebels then obama strongly indicated that the u.s. would consider military intervention but he did not address what would happen if it was in fact the rebels or members of the opposition that have used chemical weapons
12:20 pm
throughout this ongoing conflict but at this point iraq obama says that u.s. intelligence officials don't know who has used chemical weapons inside of syria how they were used or when they were used in the meantime damascus and the opposition have repeatedly accused one another of using chemical weapons one of the many sensitive issues obama address was the issue of closing the prison at guantanamo bay he said the idea that the u.s. would still detain a group of individuals indefinitely without trial is contrary to the interests reputations and morals of america while the u.s. president has shown his strong will to close the prison he lacks the necessary support from congress and that support is what would give obama the authority and the funding to close the prison and now obama's comments come of course as the hunger strike at guantanamo bay prison enters its fourth day this is a story first reported back in march and has continued to cover we were among the
