1:07 pm
all the media cameras that are already packed outside of the courtroom but there is in the meantime a picture that is circulating of joe hart and two of the cars of students who was ng in times square last year so there are some images of the two cars of students already circulating in the media now on tuesday u.s. president barack obama underscoring that russia has been cooperating in in the u.s. is ongoing investigation into the boston terror attacks in two thousand and eleven as we've reported it warned washington about. possibly to extremist groups in recent days for a law enforcement official says that they are focused on several persons of interest in the united states and in russia in the meantime the boston police department has. released a statement saying that there is no new threat to public safety in the aftermath of these three college students being arrested ok more important things to update.

israel's bow to up to a fleet of submarines which for capable of launching nuclear armed missiles the country still denies possessing atomic weapons although the suspicion is enough to remain a deep source of regional tension it was sufficient indeed to make egypt walk out of nuclear talks on monday as policy or explains. congress 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
1:09 pm
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 the swiss illusion 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 easily 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 the middle east correspondent more troops will come from the talks the u.s. and israel so the nuclear free zone in the middle east could not be realized unless
1:10 pm
the run curbs atomic ambitions of nuclear campaign abuse going on around serves only to destruct people of what israel is up to. it's easier to shift 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 car untrue but has ever used nuclear weapons in this world but we're the biggest complainer about certain countries may be possibly having them when in fact israel does indeed have and nothing is done about that there are calls
1:11 pm
for washington to brussels to step in now british m.p. jeremy corbett who's also from the campaign for nuclear disarmament 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 and eight or lift a lifting the trade agreement which also has a human rights clause of the 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
1:12 pm
ever they should be used. former u.s. president george w. bush says he's comfortable about having unleashed the iraq war we talk about that since tonight and while washington believes the end justified the means we look then at exactly what state the invasions left iraq in today coming up soon also to the muslim patrols back in black and on the streets of east london checking up on sharia law compliant some disturbing the locals we examine that as well just a minute from. choose your language call if we could with. some of.

have disowned them but it's not stopping the group from trying to coerce britons into a strict islam is code where the muslims have no sort of first look so why. but it isn't misunderstood dantes 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 our team is found out it's self titled muslim patrols still in operation the muslim community will continue to patrol the streets and clear the streets of the first 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 his videos cause such anger everything with scenes like this we're almost. out of we're going to become bored now we're. a little longer a little bit calmer and really focused margaret told this patrol they say that
1:15 pm
whilst they share many of the same he's asked the other patrols they've never employed the same course of tactics. for the gang of. men. 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. of all the actual actions and the shouting of people stealing. my t.v. always there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to avoid a muslim brother fantasy into an action but perhaps more appropriate always possible say what is better that for many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are a cause for 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
1:16 pm
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. behave both 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 prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism . and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline known. to him i believe so because i believe those who believe in the oneness of god defining this this will be the end point anyway and those laws that the establishment that would go with them would. exit into the fire i have no respect for bush whatever i asked the leader of the shari'a project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take it from the passive approach that i don't think the campaign read our great country we're doing no.
1:17 pm
protesting for your food for the stall for the for the sharee in britain i think things are really costly for. gaging to face this in many case amongst the muslim and the white british community there are worries not just these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority kids have on a much larger scale so. a. couple stories online. dot com we got a final terrifying moments of that cargo jumbo jet that was captured by a camera bag or a military base in afghanistan the images coming out show them as they show this plane as it seems to stall at low altitude before plummeting to the ground they killed all seven american crew on board we report what could have caused the tragedy and come so badly wrong that. even though the u.s. government's avoiding using chinese i.t. because it suspects spies seems quite happy to spend small fortune to borrow

1:19 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 iraq east and it didn't seem to me like that what's happening there with all this violence that was her head she waited by our presence for years after this speech as many americans in 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 to iraq war veteran young brought a letter to george w. bush and dick cheney. was. both. you'd 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 iraq surge even today will you correct or incorrect when you said that the search would be the most
