though i would say that's a very very new want just conflict that it's it's mainly conflict over financial assets i wouldn't say it's a people who has people who are tired versus town all out on sloat and it wouldn't mimic the revolutionary violence that we saw or three years ago but i would say that there are some dangerous signs of the moment. meanwhile human rights watch is warning of dire abuses in libya every port based on interviews with detainees highlights widespread torture in the country's jails its author told us that i tell you all militias are partly to blame for the violations. they spoke of being whipped with cables burned with cigarettes kicked in their heads suspended from trees with the feet and torsos whipped over prolonged periods of time women was searched by male guards and puting intimate cavity searches and in eight of the nine senses we visited the conditions were appalling in amounted to inhuman and degrading treatment with sometimes hundreds of people crammed into

10:11 am
then the promotion of what has actually turned out to be very sectarian government in iraq ever since then and also the huge amounts of money that very very little for the isis forces so we have what is developing into a very well funded civil war by controlling the oil resources or most of the resources of iraq from the isis forces the present our case the biggest refinery and that has caused panic buying and chaos in the rest of iraq but it also cuts off a huge element of financial support for the government of iraq and the long term stability of the country is very much in doubt because you now have two broadly really just sectarian forces fighting each other that was never the narrative in iraq before the. united states and britain and others invaded it was then a rather civil. secular country in the sense that the constitution was relatively secular the outlook is very very grim indeed and this is

a lucrative industry generating a reported eighty four billion dollars in global revenue and it makes sense everywhere around the world toys generally make kids happy except when the cia gets involved according to the washington post the spy agency concocted a plan in two thousand and five to develop osama bin ladin veneman dolls aimed at scaring children and their parents the goal is to instill fear in families that would cause them to turn away from the real terrorist the twelve inch figurines were painted with a dissolving material designed to peel off and reveal a red faced demon like creature with piercing green eyes and the black facial markings the code name for the project was devil eyes the plan was to distribute the toys to children in afghanistan and pakistan where the cia was trying to win hearts and minds the cia claims only three prototypes were developed before the
