5:05 am
always going to responsibly think that we should be very cautious about this so called american exceptionalism what obama is asserting is a longstanding principle not only within the political establishment of the united states but within the very psyche of the american people that somehow we're better that somehow we're exceptional and obama is attempting to use that rhetoric as a way of putting himself on a moral high ground above putin above the chinese above any of the so-called troublemakers in the un security council so while it looks to the rest of the world that the united states is a belligerent actor when it comes to syria obama is essentially asserting that no no we are moral we are just and we are righteous. to syria's foreign minister his concerns over what's happening at the u.n. . but.

only in muslim countries like turkey pakistan syria cetera in ukraine russia and european states were not working on changing governments there are calls in our books to establish the holy fart but we always stress it must be done in a peaceful way. but not everyone seems to be buying that in several states including russia and germany. is considered a terrorist organization in its biggest on for example authorities claim the party was driving force of the bloodletting two thousand five hundred on riots recently he's will dockery to showcase their expanding following in ukraine at several thousand strong rally in crimea. they say if you're a muslim you must join us and fight infidels and infidel governments ukraine russia the usa if you not with us then you'll be worse than the infidel and must be killed to their goals and not the enlightenment of muslims their goals

a geo political and many unemployed young people fall for their ideas they have already been presidents of underground terrorist cells uncovered and busted by ukraine security service during the most recent grade explosives and extremist books were discovered some of those had come directly from current war zones as authorities have evidence of at least four hundred fifty crimean tanaris fighting in syria on the rebel side investigative journalist. says this spells trouble not only for crimea but for the whole region was either for the present we knew they used to go to the turkish part of cyprus to supposedly study but in reality they went through combat training now they have syria as a perfect boot camp and after they return they will be so skilled they could explode a powder keg here crimea is like a breeding ground for such movements from here they are exported to russia's caucasus turkey bowl garia and romania and we've got all sorts of radical sects here. nowadays there is still no law in ukraine properly regulating religious sects
5:26 am
and there is no legal definition of extremism there are worries now that if the authorities continued turning a blind eye to escalating religious activities in the peninsula one provocative spark like an international glass could easily ignite a melting pot right next door to europe. reporting from crimea in ukraine. well coming up cutting edge science for every day life in technology updates. i bet anyone who lives in the united states knows a few people or just dismal geography a certain small percentage of the country just can't get it that canada is above us
5:27 am
but how important is knowing geography anyways what one author on the washington post blogs recently wrote that no one geography really doesn't matter that much he was writing in response to the game where is damascus which challenges people to find syria's capital on a blank map he said that whether americans can find here on a map doesn't affect the wisdom of a punitive strike meant to uphold international norms against the use of chemical weapons and often disasters draw our attention to places we'd never heard of before like pearl harbor or columbine or syria but let's look at this way i don't exactly know where persons kidneys are or how exactly they work so by all normal logic that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove john doe's kidneys my opinion doesn't count because i am kidney ignorant so if you know so little about syria that you can't even find it on a map then you are more likely to believe from a guy in a suit on t.v. that there must be an intervention to save the people there you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them but gosh darn it that intervention sounds nice knowing at least where a country is on the map is the first step in building in informed opinion but

space show is the highlights of the calendar not just for aviation enthusiasts but for anyone who enjoys a good day out show started off in one nine hundred ninety three when the focus was mainly on entertainment since then it's evolved into an important business event given the high flights of the aviation industry a chance to sell their wares this year marks smashed its own attendance record with over one hundred fifty thousand people braving the elements to visit the event in just one day business also proved with companies signing agreements and contracts with twenty one point two billion dollars which is significantly more than last time believing this has wider implications than just the aviation industry. the aircraft manufacturing industry always drives innovation throughout the world because to be competitive in this industry you have to excel in a number of different areas that's why this industry receives so much investment.
