do anything i can do for these people suffering from injustice i will do anything but the unkind affiliated a new survey front claimed responsibility for those recent deadly bombings just days before a man calling himself and al qaida commander announced via you tube that the group had put down roots in lebanon people we've met on the ground deny belonging to either of these groups but don't hide the fact that they share their views. no there is no al qaeda as an organization anymore but al qaeda as an idiology and it doesn't need money to spread it spreads by itself everywhere in the world not only in lebanon but in america britain serbia. here radical ideas of bread from a young age fighters here call a card as bin laden a teacher and their fight jihad when twenty three year old med returned from

syria where he joined the free syrian army he continued his jihad here in lebanon. target the district where she'll leave tripoli is divided into sunni and shia parts ironically by the street called syria two years ago we filmed on that street district in the city of tripoli separates the whites and sunni neighborhoods in this part of north running like a murderer between those who support the syrian president and his regime and those who want him out today we can't get loans with cash she sometimes was. who do you fight against who is your enemy i'm addicted and i fight against them for those those who don't carry that for go far eleven is probably the war spillover of the syrian conflict and while the world is hoping for peace to come back to that middle east country war seems to only spread further on. people

here seem to be used to seeing fighters carry sniper rifles through busy markets they tell us everybody here has a weapon and is ready to fight. it will come to these camps outside you will see every day to raise a look at first told us that it doesn't take well you know someone who is zero experience become a real fighter. a week's training and you are in for a life time of obedience the growth of real rulers for those who want to become ones i deem you have to forget about money and be ready to die or to be arrested and to accept that no one will take care of you or your family let jihadi flags on the walls weapons on the floor this is the life of a true fighter. it's tough and the rules are strict it was harsh the yard who introduced himself as a tripoli sunni leader says many yous are willing to join david. really

from now until i grow up i'm ready to defend myself i'm ready to kill our whites and syrian army and here is a queue for the river for the. years and while the syrian conflict expands a legion of fighters on to these deadly weapons and an even deadly ideology is on the rise reef notional from lebanon. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov accused some of using the humanitarian crisis in syria to renew a push for military intervention that has dismissed the proposed u.n. resolution on the crisis as one sided and detached from reality on the ground him as haron agencies are evacuating people from the besieged city of homes as a ceasefire between warring science is briefly extended meanwhile activists report that forty people have been killed an al qaeda attack on a central town in syria publisher of trends journal gen so lente says calving

radical ideology is more difficult than ending fighting on the ground so who is this out kato is al qaeda the guy that prime minister tony blair and president bush said that saddam hussein had toys too or is it the al qaeda that weren't that dangerous or die hard al qaeda or or dangerous islamised so we don't really know who these people are but from what i see and from what i know from what i read and from what i learn these are just disparate gangs of murderers and criminals it's a moral issue not a military issue and that's the only way it's going to be solved. a third shipment of syria's chemical weapons has syria and is traveling across the mediterranean a russian free go to is helping to is called the toxic material which is being transported on

a no we join vessel syria's missed several deadlines on the agreed charger all the destruction of its chemical arsenal with the international watchdog urging damascus to pick up the pace. over a year after his death the mission of the internet freedom fighter are in swartz has not been forgotten a huge online protests called the day were fined by it has been launched using citizens to rise up against the n.s.a. is my surveillance it's primarily organized by a group code signed by the late who took his own life after facing a standoff with the government he's going to check out reports now on why some say the young man was driven to the edge aaron swartz could have been a millionaire living now in silicon valley when he was just fourteen aaron helped launch the first horace's feeds which deliver web content by the time he turned nineteen his company had merged with read it which would become one of the most popular websites in the world. but money was not his ultimate goal aaron went down

to champion a free internet common sense and it's the foundation of our constitution the government is constrained by having someone else check off to make sure they're not abusing their power aaron became a political activist calling for others to join this isn't something playing out on the stage somewhere where giants fight each other and you get to see much popcorn this is a fight you can join in right so if you're going to demand progress dot org and sign up we have actions every week there are bills that are coming up that could crack down on internet freedom there are companies trying to abuse their power and it's up to all of us to stop them aaron swartz drew the f.b.i.'s attention in two thousand and eight when he downloaded and released about three million federal court documents from a restricted service the government did not press charges because the documents were in fact public he was arrested in two thousand and eleven for downloading academic articles from a subscription based research website at his university with the intention to make

them available to the public. although not of what he downloaded was classified prosecutors wanted to put him in jail for thirty five years when he saw all of his wealth gone and he recognized his parents were going to have to mortgage their house so he could afford a lawyer to fight a government who treated him as if he were nine eleven terrorists as if it as if what he was doing was threatening the infrastructure of the united states when he saw that he recognized how how incredibly difficult that fight was going to be of course he was depressed at the age of twenty six aaron swartz took his own life. this was somebody who was pushed to the edge by what i think of as a kind of bullying by our government it was several months after aaron's death that edward snowden blew the whistle on the government's widespread sloping showing that while the government wants everyone to be open and transparent it can go with lentulus li after someone who fully embrace the idea of transparency and

accessibility of information like aaron swartz day in washington i'm going to check on our team. civil liberties advocates are pushing for congress to reform their. big government he's to pursue swartz and to paca hagan's from the electronic frontier foundation says there's still a lot to be done before politicians realize such relentless prosecution is unacceptable so we've seen prosecutors go after people in really i'm just ways. unfortunately the government hasn't had to change its first option here there's been there was a proposal last year in the u.s. legislature called erin's law that would address some of the biggest concerns that we have. lost still has the advantage to the point where it's poor it's passed and where it can be signed and in fact we've seen proposals to make our computer private life even harsher and so that's something that we need to keep working on

i'd still really politicians who don't have a great grasp of how technology works understand that this kind of persecution isn't acceptable. and colleagues of our own schools have never forgotten their mission to blow the whistle. don't you leak from adults not in fines the u.s. was breaking blindly and lying on n.s.a. data during its draws trying simply hoping the past on the other end of the missile was the bad guy trying to the full story. but i'm not a raging or destroy after seeing a new network shows right after the twenty eleven raid that killed osama bin ladin . ordered the destruction of all soldiers of his corpse check out why the rush for secrecy on our home. all that you can find online but there's still plenty more ahead on ebay so that's time for propositional being a british town puts its houses up for sale with

a starting price of just one pound will find the cash after the break. down the final. day. and the rest. will be every week.

have you with us your party today i roll researcher. we're watching our senior national live from moscow welcome back actually it is so busy buying medals with the winter games into a day four and canada now leading the race meanwhile we're seeing some breakthroughs for russia as well as artie's and he said now reports from our social headquarters. the competition is gathering pace and every day brings new reason here in sochi the russians women's curling team has moved

her that more than half of what people say about my personality is probably true as she told me she could get along with pretty much anyone. whatever people say my or someone else's personality figure skating is a sport and what matters is the result doesn't matter what my personality is like some would say about a coach for example he's insufferable the most important thing is my training and my performance and the medals i win who cares if i'm a difficult person and there are a couple of other names she should look out for today. in the men's cross-country skiing and also know who's going for her second medal and the women's by a. key is also expect. it's still the show at the sochi olympics and it's promising to be one of the most exciting torments in years we caught up with russian hockey legend legend. of who is a two time olympic gold medalist to find out what his hopes are for the russian

team thing big. you know i mean for gold for the ocean and you've got all kind of all kind of qualities to those so you've got the best the forwards are good goaltending and. you've got the good coaching staff to get experience. to be in there in a big big competitions and really able support so the fans. can get lots of pressure. to be in the home eyes but. they know how to handle the pressure there now to be under pressure. again they'll be a good luck and they expect the gold medal from. this arson team the winter olympics in sochi have been making headlines around the globe but not necessarily about the competition many news outlets have set the alarms ringing

over the alleged terror threat that's just spite russia's unprecedented security operation that's also not forget the never ending tales about the shoddy hotels and bad organization while very few missed the opportunity to deliver horror stories about the rounding up stray dogs while pledging their puts and has dismissed such coverage as an echo of the cold war put in a whole during the cold war era there was the so-called containment policy that's what it was called it was the policy and practice of containing the soviet union's development unfortunately as we see now occasionally there are through backs to these policies every so often when russia demonstrates a positive development it's clear that the appearance of new powerful players and competitors engender some fear in areas such as the economy. politics and security attempts to contain russia emerge here or there including with the olympic runner the man snowboarding have five final is one of the most anticipated medal events of

the day crews are racing to smooth the course after complaints by some athletes the slopes of sochi may currently be the olympic battleground right now but they promise to become a popular tourist destination after the games we send our teams martin andrews to sochi mountain cluster to test what goes up must come down there's no better way to see the beautiful caucasus mountains and zooming down the slopes taking the breathtaking scenery and marvel in the vast resorts and facilities they now have here as you know the famous phrase when in rome so it's on with the boots and off to the slopes at krasnaya polyana a totally transformed area of this months and the big opening this is just beautiful it's been fun we came up skiing the other day a couple days off between work and sochi and adler and corky all came together nicely when we got here is a little and then end up in a couple days a hammer it out it's really cool since snowboarding it's inception as an

established winter sport it's developed various styles each with its own specialized equipment and technique snowboarding and he became a winter sport in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight ranging from the stunts of freestyle to the fast pace racing of slope style used for both recreation and professional snowboarding it's my first time and it's not as easy as it looks but it's a little bit confusing as i've been told that i'm left footed even though i'm right handed i said in the same story position was pushed forward and the first foot that i fell on was the direction i should go because i wish me luck. there are around one hundred thousand risk of fractures worldwide among snowboarders each year i'm not going to be a statistic to me and my instructor says he. can teach someone to be a recreational snowboarder in one or two days with the ability to use all lifts perform controlled link turns control speed and direction and stop confidently

something i'm having trouble with the slopes are busy with locals and visitors from all over the world but what's the future of the region after the olympics i think it's best to resort to russia for skiing through the summertime because all of because objects. connected in the one large resort people of all ages come here to the slopes fifty kilometers from the black sea coast the perfect way to exercise and to stay youthful. slopes and salty great i'm enjoying them but i'm trying not to go too fast so i don't get knocked down it's risky at my age but she's not known for its alpine skiing or snowboarding might not be very good at it but it's an activity that's on the rise and as a professional snowboarders with various olympic medals on this very mountain it seems that some of us were not bored for such winter i have to say he's not around there is

a house in the u.k. for less than the price of a cup of tea well it may sound like a job considering the perceived high cost of british housing amazingly it's become a reality point boy reports now on want to behind the pound land fairy tale. one pound sterling doesn't buy you much nowadays but in stoke on trent lucky locals have managed to grab the ultimate bargain house it's part of a sell off of rundown properties in a deprived part of the city at this sort of apply just sort of to the blue really because i was saving up for a mortgage and things anyway which when you run time is by hard. but yes i use quite shortly you know i actually did go out which actually great for us because we have repelled. the snag many of the properties have stood abandoned for years after the closure of the city ceramic factories the area started to decline the

roof sleeping every negative thing that you could imagine into properties or a magnet for those behaviors the workers of the patreas which is only walking distance who are living here and then what happened was as the poultry stock to started closing down people had to move forward so the communities start to disperse or this area is deprived it's riddled with antisocial behavior like drug abuse crime and squatting but the local councils say that the one pound scheme and the new owners moving in should help to create a sense of community and turn the area around. applicants have to be locals first time buyers and earning less than forty thousand pounds per year to avoid entrepreneurial property developers from taking advantage of the author homeowners have to commit to staying in the houses for at least ten years so this is one pound will buy you on century street in stoke on trent now on top of that one pound

owners have to commit to boring thirty thousand pounds from the local council for the renovations and work has already started on transforming these abundant shells and turning them into brand new properties and through hey can see what they're going. looked like before the scheme came along like many britons gavin couldn't afford a deposit for a house and was paying more in rent then he will be in loan repayments to the council in ten years' time i'll be more free with how. many people can get by. with the housing crisis leaving millions struggling to get on to the ladder many will now be crossing their fingers hoping they'll get a similar chance in their part of town. r.t. stoke on trent and our brave glance and some other global news making headlines this hour in iraq a suicide bombing instructor accidentally blew himself up in his own car bomb killing twenty one of his students after hearing the explosion and security forces

rushed to the area under arrest and more than a dozen suspected militants have been car bombs as well as explosive belts were found on the site the mission supposedly belonged to an extremist sunni group which recently cut its ties with al qaida. and to see iran now where huge crowds have gathered to celebrate the fair's a fifth anniversary of the iranian revolution president hassan rouhani is now addressing irani every year in february millions of iranians boy into the streets to commemorate the victory of the popular movement against the west and dr shah of iran in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine zero. zero zero young. coming out of the mullahs who looks at why law enforcement agencies can't con seem to get a draw upon the dark wall of sex trafficking that story and more when breaking this says in just a moment. is

obviously more for the ladies because it's pretty. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns and learn how to use them. this is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the field for women definitely a target of the gun lobby you don't kill them when you kill anybody but if somebody would you would this with her. i've noticed that more and more if that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth.

were clearly not the safest. of. of. the so. the. the the. the.

i'm abby martin and this is breaking on the set so last week marked the end of the nato three chicago terrorism trial involving three men and undercover police officers posing as activists at the at the two thousand and twelve nato summit and a mixed verdict the men were found not guilty of the terrorism charges but guilty for possessing an incendiary device and inciting mob action the incendiary device charge carries a sentence of up to thirty years so while we should celebrate the fact that the jury did not uphold the trumped up terrorism charges the fact that these men are still facing decades behind bars for what journalism called a case worse than entrapment is extremely concerning because while building molotov cocktails is indeed incredibly stupid without the encouragement and guidance from undercover cops there's no doubt these men would never ever engage in this type of action so if you don't want to see federal and state governments create so-called criminals just to justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars on security theater and join me and let's break this up.

please. please a. very hard to take a. look at you ever had sex with that her right there. sex trafficking is a huge international industry and involves mostly vulnerable young people who are removed from the.
