allowing foreign criminals to remain in the country indefinitely has long irritated as the government and public his public are explained. british home secretary theresa may told the conservative party conference that the current immigration system in the u.k. is like a never ending game of snakes and ladders and that quitting the european convention for human rights might be a route that the government chooses to go down david cameron has already indorsed that option at the opening of the tory party conference now the reason they are so worried about this is that at the moment suspected foreign criminals well they have seventeen different routes to appeal if they are meant to be deported under the proposed plans the home office would fast deport suspected foreign criminals and then hear their appeals after they've been deported the witness foreign criminals and immigration lawyers while the loses all the victims of these crimes to the
8:07 am
public where there is no risk of serious and irreversible harm we should deport foreign criminals first and hear their appeals later now the conservatives view is that the european convention for human rights simply prevents them from dealing with famous cases like that of radical hate preacher abu qatada who famously avoided extradition from the u.k. for over a decade because his lawyers argued that it was against his human rights to return to his native jordan where he could face torture there now that was an extremely embarrassing case for the u.k. government and gives you an indication of why they want to tackle the issue but this is a country already that hasn't been immune to accusations of human rights abuses itself only recently the u.k. government was criticized for detaining glenn greenwald's partner david miranda at heathrow airport glenn greenwald is of course the guardian journalist who uncovered much of the n.s.a. scandal and his partner was held by police that he through our ports and most of

8:11 am
international sanctions which have been crippling iran's economy not be eased now just seven days ago iranian leader hassan rouhani delivered his debut address at the u.n. g.a. proclaiming that his government was ready to resolve any and all concerns about his country's nuclear program even promising more transparency and engagement with the united states during a meeting with u.s. president barack obama at the white house on monday israel's prime minister insisted that tehran offer immediate concessions by suspending sensitive nuclear projects or else face even greater international pressure now obama shorting netanyahu that all options including military options are on the table when it comes to protecting u.s. interests in the middle east or is that we could resolve this diplomatically bush as president bush said before i would prefer that we take no options off the table
8:12 am
including military options while televisa of has been ringing alarm bell. over tehran's allegedly nuclear program it is simultaneously even ignoring calls from iran syria and other countries to join the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that's keeping the middle east free from weapons of mass destruction israel has also not confirmed or denied if it has its own nuclear arsenal reporting from new york. arching. threatening iran with sanctions a military strikes as a colon fane full been a minute on yahoo including a previous meetings and a young journalist son plays for years has tried to convince the world iran's nuclear ambitions are dangerous and here are some of his time life a red line should be drawn right here. before we run completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment the truth is that israel wants
8:13 am
peace whirled around israel is definitely becoming more dangerous iran threatens to annihilate israel it denies the holocaust it sponsors terror words alone will not stop iran sanctions alone will not stop iran they have to know that if the sanctions and diplomacy fails they will face a credible military threat that's essential nothing else will do the job. last week of the meters in the u.s. and iran spying directly for the first time in more than three decades of official silence between the two states however chair political analyst william and believe some groups in america just don't want to lose the convenient image of iran as an enemy iran hasn't made a. hostile war aggressive war on any nation for more than a century and a half and i certainly don't think they're insane enough to try to launch a war on israel which is armed to the teeth with nuclear submarines and other
8:14 am
weaponry that would would. really not to not be to the advantage of iran at all so i think this is a fabrication by a certain international war lobby in washington perhaps in britain france and certainly around the israeli defense industry and certain circles in israeli intelligence around the yahoo that that want to have iran as a bogeyman to justify the continued support of washington to israel. now bahrain is a session to jail fifty to share his shows the human rights community say on our website to find out why opposing the government of the gulf kingdom is labeled terrorism and read about the international outcry over the accusations that. and also an aisle seat up call for you hundreds of thousands of unemployed in britain could have to work for free on moves that benefits had on line from lowndes tells

burning room how much time it took to restore it. we voted for yeltsin in the referendum to deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us out of all we have to support yeltsin otherwise it would have been civil war. good to have you with us let's move on now the u.s. and its allies pond and head out of afghanistan next year but they'll leave behind a deadly legacy says a startle the war on terror twelve years ago the drug industry there thrived and it's not only for internal use obgyn made in our cortex are appearing in the world
8:17 am
over she's going natural can rest a gates. a war that kills without weapons silently with harrowing its production has increased forty times in the family stone since the nato started its war on terror in two thousand and one before that the taliban as brutal as they war heading forced the ban on poppy growing they declared it was against their religion so here in production was very low when the us and allied forces invaded the country they allowed afghans to grow poppies they saw it as a way to win locals hearts and minds the u.s. and allied forces have maintained that opium production provides a livelihood for afghan farmers but it's been destroying their lives the lives of thousands of children around three hundred thousand afghan children are now drug addicts my colleague visited one family in afghanistan three mothers all three addicted to opium heroin and marijuana they blow opium in the face of their children to make them fall asleep so that the grown ups can cater to their own
8:18 am
addiction they give marijuana to their very young children they buy drugs before they buy food here's what their daughter said. fearful of the move my mother told me let's go to the bazaar i want to buy something for you i said really we went and my mother said to this man do you want to buy these grew he got to give you and give us a hand written out so we went to buy some dry bread and novelty my mum needed money and took my sister we were crying sue notch then she tried to sell me again i begged him not to and she said that if i go to people's houses and beg then to keep me so that's what i do the u.s. and allied forces have been doing little to stop opium production in afghanistan is killing more and more people and not just in of gunston but far beyond its borders of ghana's that produces around ninety percent of the world's opium supply the bulk of the eight hundred and twenty tons of heroin that comes out of afghanistan every
8:19 am
year ends up on the streets of russia. and europe the drug money feeds organized crime all over the globe kossovo drug dealers for example have become a predominant crime group in europe that is because seventy percent of heroin that goes to europe goes through the cost of all channeled in the meantime opium production is growing in afghanistan last year they expanded poppy cultivation by almost twenty percent compared to the prior year and also what kind of a nation building was there when it's clear food these afghan children it was anything but that in moscow i'm going to check them it's estimated forty thousand tons of opiates are stockpiled in afghanistan something that according to drug watchdog says go into wason in the coming years. ten colonel terry schaeffer from the center for advanced different studies and has been to afghanistan to say this is asians were in south and believes native completely on drugs that. what you see
8:20 am
here is a situation ripe for both corruption and expanded production of opium when i was there in two thousand and three in two thousand and four. there was no effort to prevent the crop from becoming a major economic source of income for the afghan people it was just ignored the drug problem became severe two thousand and four two thousand and six because no one is paying attention to it the us national international part partners attempt to crack down on opium production has been a dismal failure we have spent billions of dollars on trying to deal with securing afghanistan and dealing with the crop problem for ten years so if you just measure the amount of money spent by nato i safford united states versus the output of opium it's a complete failure it's not going to get any better once the u.s.
