support for. in syria now the lebanese government has condemned the attacks it has called for an emergency meeting at the same time tehran's envoy to lebanon has said that he believes that israel is behind these blasts in the same comments are being made by the syrian information minister at this point in time there is a heavy has been less security deployment at all interested as to that compound in the dock here mabel heard in say in south beirut this is happening in a predominantly shiite neighborhood. discuss this we're now joined live by political analyst. who's in beirut for us welcome to our seeds good to have you with us so we know that a lebanese group linked to al qaeda has reportedly claimed responsibility for that from your point of view he would be them. first of all

the thank you for having me the group is called abdullah azzam group which is affiliated to al qaeda this is a clear message by saudi arabia or it's an act of war by saudi arabia against iran this is the first for the first time the disorder is crossing the red lines by targeting the iranian embassy in. beirut i don't agree with the iranian ambassador who pointed his finger to the israelis it's true that the israelis are beneficiaries by these explosions but who perpetrated attacks linked groups there. is done in saudi arabia we have to know that this explosions happened with two suicide bombers the israelis never do such operations they can use their airplanes and the other car bombs but there were two people one of them was my motorcycle he tried to enter first before he came close to the embassy and he tried to explosive him self in order to open

a route for the other car to enter into the embassy so this tool but the security was awake and they shot him and he for he was forced to explode himself outside the outside the embassy about in politics we have to understand that this measure this message from saudi arabia has came after the war of. one mountains we have to know that hezbollah and the syrian army are fighting side by side against al-qaeda groups in syria and recently in area which this area is linked links the the. area in lebanon with thousands of militants from al qaida and their depends on age of future movement of lebanon are having training and also smuggling arms into syria and also this area links. homes to the moscow's it is in the center of homes and damascus and most of the terrorists who come into the eastern ghouta area in damascus the place where the chemical attack happened are

coming from this area. please could you explain to us. precisely about saudi arabia why dealing saudi arabia to this case. because the minute and or the proxies of first saudi arabia are now existed in the descent between damascus and homes and they are spreading all these kyra's on terrorism. around the cities of homes and damascus most of the car bombs are coming from this areas and when hezbollah and syrian army decided to crush the rebellion in this area the saudis. wanted to send a message hysterical very hysterical message to iran we have to remember of the actions of saudi ever in the first few weeks they refused the membership of the un security council and then they said that they are going to they gonna work to foil the negotiations the peace negotiations in geneva for peace in syria and they're

also trying to block any deal between the west and iran and recently the reports are saying that saw the idea of is going to buy a bomb from pakistan a nuclear bomb from pakistan if a deal has been reached between the p five plus one and iran so this hysterical policies by saudi arabia is reflecting the. desperation of saudi arabia in the in the middle east and by targeting now the embassy of iran. it wants to spread kyra's and war also in inside lebanon right here for. joining us live from beirut ok work thank you very much indeed for sharing your perspective with us thank you. ahead this hour here on our see you smile to the business spies. special camera that scans my space it recognizes that i'm female and age between thirty and forty by then send that information back to the tight. learn how the facial recognition

been here since signing out of class on january twenty third the last of the the final the father of three was killed by a u.s. drone alongside his twenty year old cousin salim a college student who drove them in a borrowed to yoda they picked up two strangers who turned out to be suspected al qaeda militants witnesses reported a whirring sound in the sky then missiles struck their car. the smell of death was everywhere some of the bodies were burned beyond recognition the rest were ripped to shreds and scattered all around i found a part of saleman side the car the rest was outside we only recognised him by a piece of his trousers. you couldn't tell who was who if they were even human it was sickening. one drone change this sleepy farming village for ever less than an hour's drive from yemen's capital kabul lawn is far removed from al qaeda operations but without warning it was thrust into the war on terror. saleem's

mother shows me where her son used to sleep she can't bear to get rid of his things although she knows she'll never return home. god help us i didn't understand until the next day that an american drone killed my son why tell me may allah deprive them of their souls like they robbed us of our son. he was the only one providing for this family all we have left now is our tears we only target al qaeda and its associated force and even then the use of drones is heavily constrained before any strike is taken there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured the highest standard we can set. accept there was a deadly failure yemen's interior ministry confirms the cousins had no links to terrorism in a country where tribal ties surmount all the loss was felt far beyond the family

the white house has never acknowledged the deaths let alone the strike but mohamed shows me the evidence this is what killed them what's thought to be a fragment of a hellfire missile launched from a drone. the u.s. believes this is its best weapon against al qaeda although not officially out war in yemen the covert drone campaign has been dramatically ramped up here under president obama. yemen's al qaeda threat is real it's plotted attacks on international airliners and caused hundreds of deaths the cia describes it as the most dangerous and active branch of the terrorist network the defense is that drone strikes have seriously damaged his ability to plan attacks but critics here say it's doing the exact opposite it does not contain the growth of the facts that may have contributed to the growth and expansion of

the at some point when i get off powerful enough to be able to inflict serious damage the u.s. war on terror has no borders often waged remotely with cruise missiles and drones it's an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines of fight against groups like al qaida in which ordinary civilians also end up paying a price. i ask obama to bring my dad back to life. all the kids in school have their fathers but we don't reporting in come on in yemen and lucy catherine of. lawmakers in washington are setting their sights on how to rein in bitcoin that's why they did stop currencies has seen record highs coming out we'll look into what's putting the wind in its sales and why the u.s. government is so willing to hold into. talks over iran's nuclear program are set to resume tomorrow after

a round of negotiations earlier this month failed to seal an agreement israel has been staunchly opposed to a deal along with france saying any lifting of sanctions against iran would happen only if to iran gave up its program meanwhile russia's president has voiced his optimism that a deal will be reached soon called now reports. on monday at the initiative of russian president vladimir putin he and his iranian counterpart hassen rouhani had a phone conversation after which the russian president was quoted as saying that he believes there is now a real chance that iran and the international community can come to an agreement over the country's nuclear program an agreement that would eventually seeing the easing of sanctions on the country now the storm just opposition to that move is coming from israel who has strong support from france france of course are in the negotiating group in fact french president francois hollande has been in israel prior to those talks in geneva on wednesday but despite the documented differences

after the first round of talks. optimism is shed by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov you're the residual of these three speculations that the positive shift we now see in negotiations over iran's nuclear program has only become possible because of pressure coming from sanctions against it i suggest we leave it to historians to decide we as diplomats simply can't afford to be dragged into these meaningless discussions we now have a real chance to sign a solid deal and if we let speculation lead us astray we could lose this chance there are many who won't be very upset if the talks collapse once again which of also went on to say that tehran has agreed to two stipulations specified specified by france at those earlier talks that is to stop enriching uranium to twenty percent all together and to limit the amount of uranium enriched to three and a half percent so it does seem that ahead of wednesday's talks there is a real sense of optimism that there could be

a breakthrough which could end this decade long standoff. well let's now take a closer look at the terms of a possible nuclear agreement international and you get a status that demanding iran suspends uranium enrichment at the twenty percent level to iran is also to. limit is going to limit the number of centrifuges used and allow broader monitoring of its nuclear facilities while powers would bene greets to unfreeze some ring in assets and ease the sanctions currently crippling iran's economy and last week the israeli prime minister warned his allies that the preliminary deal is dangerous but the abdi policy director at the national map you bring in american council believes israel is against any agreement even if it favors its own people this is actually very concerning for for israelis to see their prime minister going out and lobbying against a deal that would actually be in the interest of everybody in the region who

doesn't want to see iran potentially have the ability to build a nuclear weapon that's what this deal does and what i think the problem here is is that benjamin netanyahu was never in favor of getting a deal he's more concerned with keeping iran isolated with advancing his own you know geostrategic ambitions and that's the same case for the saudis so now they see that there's actually a deal on the table that would achieve the stated goal of putting measures in place that we can verifiably assure the world that iran does not have a nuclear weapons program they're trying to undermine it. this is all c. and will back with more news for you have our shot greg.

agencies to go after the new players in the world of virtual money but they did say they expected the big corners and others providing money exchange services online to report to the u.s. treasury and generally to comply with existing regulations like getting a money transmitter license and so on following the officials testifying in congress where the gentleman from the big foundation the chairman of the committee senator carper to question them and at the end quote it albert einstein's wife mrs einstein who produce quite brilliant in their own right and. asked if she understood her husband's theory of relativity and she allegedly responded i understand the words but not the sentences so with regard to virtual currency it is fair to say the us congress understands the words but not sentences which is true for the public in general bitcoin users are not exactly the average consumer for now in washington i'm going to check out. there's always plenty online for you

were for medical bills and now the people who had to pay these bills are free from their burdens the group claims that the secondary debt market is very cheap and that they are able to buy the nearly fifteen million dollars in debt for only four hundred thousand dollars the secondary market exists because banks try to sell consistently unpaid debt to third parties for less than a nickel on the dollar right now i would be begging the rolling jubilee project to get rid of my college loans but alas this is always purchased anonymously so it's all pure luck who gets their debt purchased the important thing about this project is that they're actually doing something against an evil system instead of just blogging about it and although fifteen million dollars is a time a need to drop in the bucket it may have really some. of the financial lives of many americans but that's just my opinion.
