these three college students being arrested. coming up former u.s. president george w. bush says he's comfortable about having unleashed the iraq war and while washington believes the ends justify the means we looked at exactly what state the invasion has left iraq into day is coming up soon also as well the muslim patrols back in black and on the streets of east london checking up on sharia law compliance while disturbing the locals at the same time that said today. israel is about to add to its fleet of submarines which are thought 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 paula slater explains. congress is it is withdrawing from a second week of the nonproliferation treaty talks in geneva in protest against what
3:08 pm
it is calling the failure to implement a one thousand nine hundred five resolution for a middle east free of nuclear weapons not a 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 minister it's 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
3:09 pm
the israeli side as well as you can decide is that a nuclear arms freezone in the middle east chemically 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. which will come from the talks the us of israel so the nuclear arms free zone in the middle east could not be realized unless. the topic of bush should not be a campaign and. serves only to destruct pretty from what what israel's 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 has. israel it helps certain countries develop nuclear
3:10 pm
weapons so it's really a very hypocritical. process and we all should remember that the united states is indeed the only true that has ever used nuclear weapons in this world but we are the biggest complainer about certain countries may be possibly having them when in fact israel does indeed have them and nothing is done and there are calls from washington and brussels to step in british m.p. jeremy colvin is also from the campaign for nuclear disarmament told us otherwise the regional consequences could 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 was drawing all of a little trade agreement which also has
3:11 pm
a 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 jeremy kolbe in the news continues less than ninety seconds from now.

3:14 pm
recover and refocus from. this patrol they say that was share many of the same things as the other patrols they've never employed the same question 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 shouting that we've seen but it's quite intimidating 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 advised me to say what is this in many in the mainstream muslim community these patrols are things that concern but if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions is wrong and i'm

3:16 pm
said you know if you take on the passive approach then i don't think you fix the country and these are great but if you were doing no shouting for testing your food before you start putting the sharee in britain i think that is something that really touched me for your day to defeat this in many base amongst the muslim and the why to push this community there are worries not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relative peace movement noisy kids have on a much larger scale so i think and. i will be following that up for you online couple of stories tip you off to dot com there we've got the final terrifying moments of that cargo jumbo jet they were captured on camera bag or a military base in afghanistan the images coming up are very graphic and upsetting as well they show this huge plane some full seven seems to stall at low altitude before plummeting to the ground killed all seven american crew on board we were poor could have caused

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 dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since viet nam we are correct or incorrect by right or no my reference to the surge and seeing what he's doing under hagel 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 search 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 supporter of president bush history will treat him whatley regarding iraq but

unemployment and mountains of debt plague the western world all the while politicians go from one blunder to another so what has capitalism done lately. to cross out the crisis of capitalism i'm joined by rachel martin in paris she is the tribune company syndicated columnist and founder of rachel martin associates in new york we have george said newly he is a fellow of the global policy institute of london metropolitan university and in washington we crossed to fred smith he is founder and chairman of competitive enterprise institute. that means you can jump in anytime you want george capitalism state today. well i think capitalism is indeed in crisis it's been five years since the crash of two thousand and eight and the multiple bailouts and the unemployment remains high and there's no real prospect of recovery
3:29 pm
and what is really becoming clear is that we're now a bit without having to live with a situation of very high unemployment high rates of poverty and capital which is supposedly the unit of capitalism essentially going to exclusively for one purpose which is finance and always just simply makes money off itself ok rachel jump in the state of capitalism today. you know capitalism was doing just fine until it was hijacked by socialism and what i think george is seeing and what we're all seeing and what occupy wall.
