warplanes carry on is trying to inside syria and israel's defense ministry refuses to go fug or deny widespread reports trance carried out on alleged game changing missiles headed for hezbollah. a trace of terror bombing investigators focus on the window of the code suspects up to discovering radical islamist material on her computer. on the changing face of u.k. politics and on t.v. you see the moves from the knowledge is to claim a stunning result in local elections leaving the governing conservatives to wonder how to win bought lost support.

this is all see coming here live from moscow hello and welcome to the. for us to warplanes have carried out as strikes inside syria and it's widely reported they were sent by israel the target was a shipment of alleged advanced missiles heading for lebanon but these are a defense ministry says it has no knowledge of the anonymous officials who go firms that time the second of its kind in less than five months she's middle east correspondent has the latest from israel for the official is speaking on condition of being anonymous because he is not also wise to speak about a secret israeli military operation we had r.t. has been in touch with the israeli foreign ministry but as of yet they are not prepared to publicly concern at least not to us that such a strike indeed was carried out by the israelis what is interesting is that the strike happened late tuesday into the early hours of friday morning and at that

same time the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for a late night emergency cabinet meeting now we don't have information as to what was exactly the purpose of the goal of that meeting but it certainly does raise on dolls the lebanese are complaining that israel has violated libya is facing that israel does do this on numerous occasions and has been doing it recently with quite a bit of consistency is well in the past has said that it will pull out all the stops to make sure that there is no transfer of weapons to his been of course the israeli concern is that hizbollah would use any kind of weapons against the jewish state the second time this year that israel has carried out a strike inside syria you remember the first was back in january when israeli fighter jets targeted a sophisticated convoy of missiles that israel believed were on the way to has been that israel and syria share a common border you have the disputed golan heights which is one occupied some syria back in one nine hundred sixty seven and in recent weeks we've witnessed

a flare up in violence and intensions along that border. convincing i did so for you as things on foreign policy in focus believes it's unlikely they were in government would have risked provoking and it's raining outside i think the idea that the syrian government would be shipping arms to has below in the midst of a civil war or to be a very dubious kind of project i don't i don't see what the logic of that is i think the israelis are intervening to just quietly us as is thinking of intervening because they don't think things are going. exactly the way that the insurgency wants them to go. can pretty much a strike as they will in syria what the effect of that is on the

wider arab world i think is the key question here and the israelis may find that while they are able to basically strike it will again syria that also means that it places a very different view so to speak of the civil war in syria and i think at this point the syrians are going to not going to do anything physically but i think they are going to say politically that the israelis are attempting to overthrow the assad government and therefore anybody who supports the overthrow of the also the government is in alignment with tel aviv and that may be a pretty hard sell for israel. there are fears that one of the sewers neighbors could descend into a civil war on an even larger scale has increased significantly in iraq over the past month he worries that sectarian unrest could in gold the country we've got the

details and expert analysis of it later here on r.c. . law enforcement officials investigating the boston marathon bombings have turned their focus to the way joe a one of the suspects radical islamic material was discovered on a computer belonging to the american wife of time and not of who was killed when police tried to capture him confident has more now. katherine russell she's a twenty four year old widow of tamerlan and she's been under investigation basically since the identities of the boston bombers were revealed she initially came under scrutiny when authorities discovered female d.n.a. on a piece of a pressure cooker that was used to construct a homemade explosive material she submitted her fingerprints and d.n.a. and authorities say they did not match the sample on the explosives that were found however investigators have also been probing her computer materials and what it turns now now is that authorities have discovered al qaeda is inspire magazine and other so-called radical islamic literature on the computer now the key question is

whether this material actually belonged to her or whether it was downloaded by her husband or somebody else so that is the key question that investigators are looking into at the moment if we actually begin with katherine russell i mean she grew up in rhode island the christian daughter of an emergency room doctor and a nurse sort of the epitome of the all-american girl before she met in fact she graduated high school in two thousand and seven and according to one magazine report her yearbook quote had mentioned that she wanted to grow up and join the peace corps people who knew her said the girl with a passion for learning and travel but really radically transformed since meetings are not she ended up becoming a college dropout she married him converted to islam and stayed at home and took care of the children the same could be said of himself actually there was an interesting interview with an ex-girlfriend of his who said that the man she met and dated in two thousand and six had transformed from a pot smoking party boy to an anti american the islamist jihadi essentially that is

how she described him it's unclear what prompted the transformation in case but we do know that much of his radicalization officials believe was inspired by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula there's reports that he has watched sermons by the american born cleric anwar all blocky and according to news reports sources of actually refer to inspire magazine as one of the materials found under the possession of. it's known to have published a bomb making guide and investigators have also uncovered other evidence of sort of radical material. this is still to come in the program politico and slate is still the shadow of the u.k. local elections the u.k. independence boss he delivers an impressive and unexpected results claiming around twenty five percent of the vote here in supporters from the ruling conservatives. drone stock has become a popular choice for u.s. students with demand for unmanned aircraft exploding despite controversy over

independence party we've seen them come seconds in the south shields by election just behind labor and that's significant because we see a pattern emerging the past six months have seen you can't come second in full by elections some of the more we've had stunning council election results we've seen the ruling coalition parties the liberal democrats and the conservatives very sustained major losses in terms of council seats it's really you can't that have come out on top now this is a party that's been seen by many as the protest vote party the people a very keen for them if they feel too frustrated with labor conservatives liberal democrats the traditional status quo political parties but i think that a lot of people are going to have to be taking them a lot more seriously now and a lot of people didn't take them very seriously just a few days ago the a senior conservative member called them clowns say they might have to have a rethink about that we're going to have you keep councillors across england and

wales the conservative party chairman has said that clearly the tories are failed to get their message across and they're going to have to have a rethink about how they can change that now i'm joined by the city spokesman for the u.k. independence party stephen wolf stephen chances are all well and good but they're not m.p.'s have as you can actually made significant gains today yes we have what we have done is created a seismic shift in politics in the united kingdom we have put a message down to the three political parties that there is a fool for all to hear on the block we are not keen on the door of parliament to use they have criticized us and said that we're a small party i'm not with voting for but you could be seen as the protest vote is that enough to make games in a general election well it's a protest vote for the political elites if you want to put it in those terms they ignored us in the past and said no we want. to listen to suppose we were one party

one issue party and then they said we were just a one person party if we got significant second places across the country from east to start shields is a protest that is the part of the process that i want and i want to see is expand also every political party has to put down a mountain of saying here's our policies come on come on have a go and tell us whether you like them or not that is quite right and we're ready to do that we're going to have to work the numbers we're going to have to show that we can afford it in a time of austerity but i believe that won't be such a policy it's how we're going to pay for it and we've got the right people to actually deliver it we're going to be moving forward at an even greater speed than you've seen today stephen will city spokesman for the u.k. independence party thank you very much for your comments well there you have it such a seismic shift taking place in british politics david cameron's already said that he's going to have to work very hard to try and win back the support will there's a very good for you can't say for the past two days. a senior iraqi politician is expressing fear is that the country's plunging into civil war which could end up

being wise than their ongoing conflict in syria april was the most deadly month in the country nearly five years highlighted by the death of a six sunni arab protesters at the end of the month meanwhile the funerals have been held for the seven victims of a sunni mosque bomb blast on friday playschool unless has gone bought fears of the situation could lead to a repeat of the massacre tearing copecks to iraq seven years ago some on the country's parliament have been calling for the resignation of prime minister nuri al maliki as authorities try to maintain order on him and is a us defense analyst and he believes that the conflict will escalate further unless iran gets rid of the centralized government installed with the help of the united states. we have no sectarian tensions which have been there since the since along since decades but were unleashed when the us invaded in two thousand and three and of course played out in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven where you had sectarian warfare between she and sunni i think there's

probably going to be an escalating conflict in iraq the kurds used to to side with the shia government but i'm not sure that they would anymore because they have a lot of disputes with the government now that they didn't have before as you have plenty of guns that the u.s. bribed the sudanese to quit attacking the united states troops when they were there and so that all these guns are left over so essentially the u.s. . during a talk you patient is armed golf all three groups there with the government has always been used by one group to oppress the other groups and therefore a strong central government which the us left is a bad thing i think i think what should happen is decentralization what different groups run different regions with security and judiciary and maybe have a free trade area like a confederate loose confederation in these countries we might keep it stable. maintaining growing time over prison costs more than nine hundred thousand dollars

situation has been finding out building and operating the groans is becoming a coveted profession for many. unmanned aerial vehicles better known as drones are not only in the skies but might be taught at a college at least three u.s. schools offer bachelor degrees in engineering and flying dozens more offer drone one zero one courses and. the university of north dakota kicked off its four year program in two thousand and nine with just five students that number is now at one hundred twenty they've elected to major in unmanned aircraft systems and i believe the reason is that they see that as an opportunity for growth it's an emerging technology embry riddle aeronautical university in florida began training u.a.b. pilots and operators in two thousand and eleven and the number of graduates to reach the hundreds in the next several years is becoming and they use are becoming more prevalent in pretty much any time region you can imagine the increased

interest in the drone industry is largely fueled by post-grad starting salaries that are much higher than those for pilots flying planes or helicopters or an economy that's hasn't recovered ok so people see opportunities for jobs wherever there's money to be had of course but the problem is that universities are supposed to do something more than serve the military industrial complex. to widespread debate drones are notoriously used as weapons and u.s. wars abroad the one that's under heavy scrutiny right now is that i mean aircraft are in the past been used by the military therefore the logical leap is that i mean a couple years militaristically in the united states the federal aviation administration says that ten thousand commercial drones could be used over u.s. skies within five years for surveillance and other purposes while controversy surrounding them is that a piece how dare day even talk about drones on a domestic there are many many cities in the country that have already got rights

to use these drones and they will be using them so without the laws that protect our privacy we do. not how they're going to be used most people teaching and studying you have your programs insist their use is much more varied than for military purposes abroad and surveillance at home. for them where that when need be an issue at all border security meteorological and environmental surveillance such as sending a drone into a hurricane without having to worry about the pilots are among the applications most commonly praised and you even use still the most common association with drones at home is law enforcement and it's this aspect that's making americans very uncomfortable obviously there's going to be some regulations that are going to have to be put in place so that people don't run around or at least you know police or whoever doesn't just have the ability to run around and you know go unchecked looking at you know having a ever watchful eye over the public but i don't think that will it will be

a deterrent more so it'll be a challenge to make sure that you know people are. happy with the implementation obama and aircraft into the national airspace system officials are yet to convince americans that there are more pros than cons to drones flying over u.s. soil it's time to say wait a minute hold up let's not move forward in this area without understanding where we're going and that's the problem here that's the danger this is the issue for unmanned vehicle systems international estimates the number of american jobs in the industry will grow to over twenty three thousand over the next fifteen years. and their future going to new york. and to some news making headlines around the world this hour in libya tension continues to rise in the capital in tripoli government supporters have with demonstrating militia members who are demanding khadafi air officials be ousted from the government last week almost none laid siege to the country's foreign and justice ministries calling for a push of the old regime as members violence and instability are once again

a famous american political figure ron paul has decided to create his own liberty oriented homeschooling curriculum at ron paul curriculum to give parents not turn it into standard public education you know when i was a kid homeschooling was only for like the kids of wacko's and cultus if you met someone who was homeschooled you always look at them with some sort of suspicion like what's with that kid with what's with his parents i mean who would home school their kids well let's look at it this way who would grow their own food when american supermarkets are stocked with pure healthy and natural food the problem is that food in stores is now loaded up with all sorts of mystery chemicals and g m o's and it makes perfect sense that nowadays people are intro starting to grow their own food and this logic applies to education too when public education becomes so dismal it is perfectly logical and reasonable to try to educate your

kids yourself the no child left behind program did a fine job of making the american education system lower the bar down to the very basement of the lowest common denominator i mean if you think there should be more in a high school graduates had besides reading writing and arithmetic that homeschooling might be for you as art sports and music and science programs all across the nation to the lack of funding is wrong post libertarian curriculum what's best for your kids hey i can't say but it's definitely worth taking a look at other alternatives given the d. minus quality of public education nowadays but that's just my opinion.

good afternoon to welcome to prime interest i'm terry and boring and washington d.c. and here's the story that we're tracking today. it's good news for jobs or is it the two headline numbers from this morning's big employment report beat expectations but about two thirds of those games were in leisure and hospitality temporary work or retail sector well regardless of this the federal reserve which keeps very close tabs on this report will take notice of the improvement in unemployment which ticked down to seven and a half percent which this is just a one percentage point above where the fed would start to consider slowing down and the eighty five billion dollars per month the money printing program. just a few weeks into her new role as i.c.c. chairwoman mary jo white is confronting some very tough issues that her predecessor
