al jazeera has said it will continue to push coverage in china. the report from inside syria following parliamentary elections. >> and the boats made from bric- a-brac. let us look at the stories making headlines in newspapers around the world. the picture says it all. the headline certainly does. as greek and french voters threw down a challenge to germany's chancellor markell, if she is feeling lonely, she can still count on one is the logical ally -- britain's david cameron. the prime minister has vowed never going back on cuts. the election may have implications for more than just austerity, says "the times." the french president will focus upon on building renewable energy, not reaction -- not reactors. yesterday, there was news of a bailout, and announcement of a chairman's resignation today. >> this is "newsday." >> let us bring you a reminder of the headlines this hour. u.s. officials say western intelligence agencies have foiled a plot by al qaeda in yemen. the were using an underwear bomb. >> this rate increase. the country's biggest par

let's look at al-jazeera. as they show you the damage. >> the yemeny report says that u.s.le was involved washington has never acknowledged operations in yemen, but the attacks are creating real antagonism on the ground. >> on one occasion where they killed 44 civilians in one day, and another day they killed a governor by mistake. >> if they killed your family you might be pretty angry too. the "washington post" explains it has lead to this: so the population that was not in favor of al-qaeda was not radicals before, once you kill their cousins, nephews and son, then they say, all right. then i'm going to join you. that is not the result we want. here is the legal coordinator in yemen. and he says the drones are killing al-qaeda leaders, but they are also turning them into heros. part of the reason for that is after the civilians get killed al-qaeda says we'll bury their bodies. everybody else is scared to go. so this is not a good way to win hearts and minds obviously. continuing here, top former advisor to the president of yemen said yemen is paying a heavy price, but th

rtv, al jazeera, all these new players. i'm obviously very intrigued by president bollinger's idea of an american world service. to some extent we are what you might call the roots of one. i think, if i could, i'll just lay out for a minute who we are. i think a lot of americans don't really know, what is voice of america? it's still there? i thought the cold war was over. that's what a lot of the people say to me. it's still there. you know what? we are a source of -- as close as you can get, objective journalism. we reach over 140 million people a week around the world. in 43 languages. we do training of journalists. we set up fms in africa. we stand for freedom of the press. we condemn violence against any journalists, including one of our own who died in january in pakistan. we try to report the truth and we try to explain america to a sometimes rather befuddled world. because we're not supposed to broadcast in this country, not too many people know that much about us. and some have inaccurate notions of what we broadca

for al-jazeera he was recently consulted on the consequences of the nuclear crisis at fukushima. unlike the iraqi authorities he has investigated in fallujah. but the way around that is to just knock on the door and say excuse me unmasking have you how many people have got cancer here in the last five years and who lives in a very simple because if you know who lives how old they are you can you can then predict how many cancers they should have on the basis of the national average and rates and so on and just compare them with the numbers that they report and the one divided by the other is a relative risk so we did you frank who. told you no way i've got too many people after my guts i'm not going to construct myself somebody pop a bullet. through. my herb another year know what all i did was i told them what to do i said look i'll tell you what to do i'll create the questionnaire. based on the ones i've done and even for an iraqi team recruited by chris busby and the task was complicated some places they went to they got beaten up because they saw they were from the secret ser

regarding bahrain and why it isn't on the agenda of a number of large chunk of the arab media namely al jazeera arabic and what really and what the fact that julian assange is speaking to the very people who are making the things happen in these countries and of willing to face the consequences as we've seen with now feel right out with his arrest this weekend well that really that's what makes this next episode really one that's not to be missed and you can catch it here r.t. is being shown at eleven thirty g.m.t. this changed absolutely rubin really explosive series so far looking for the what's happening tomorrow of bennett live from london thanks for bringing us up to date. but more common about the story to patrick henningsen is editor of the website info was dot com he said stands out among other activists and organizations rush lee being unbiased. mr rajab is significant figure in the human rights movement globally no bill has been arrested in the past has been detained has been beaten possibly tortured so this should come as no surprise now that the western press is out of the country s

. >> general, good to see you, rosalynn jordan with al jazeera english. you talked about the idea that this is one of the tools when fighting an asymmetrical war. you've also been noted for your ability to try to break the backlog as it were of cases at guantanamo. do you ever anticipate that there will come a time where their particular form of the military commission would no longer need to exist, and if not, why not? ? >> well, i will go -- thank you. i will go back to this idea that although most cases i would submit international terrorism cases should be tried in a federal civilian court, there is a category of case where this instrument which is now an act of congress is going to be the best available option. i don't seep any major ending of this asymmetric type of threat. i mean, i tend to think that's the way people are going to try to strike out against very capable armed forces of a state. i think you're going to have stateless but coordinated effort . i don't have a crystal ball it seems to me we're going to have those kinds of threats. not ex

troops the backstory claims the victim was caught in possession of a video he intended to stand to al-jazeera but whatever his initial footage was in terms of the impact it was no match for his alleged execution which ran viral on you tube presented as yet more proof of the inhumanity of the regime. meanwhile the authenticity of this video is still highly questionable these contrived and staged you tube videos are used by the opposition to justify a western backed regime change project on the country the creativity of syrian opposition fighters has already been exposed for when they were caught posing as prosecute supposedly carrying out the regime's brutalities. but what started as the killings for social media consumption is now leading to quite real deaths in syria these days somebodies book pages really look like hit list but we got used to this and this is happening now for one in. the head of aleppo chamber of industry says many of his fellow businessman found their photos and personal details posted on the opposition's web sites with explicit callings to murder them this is the car his

european champions that they don't hire at this but this is the reality why does an al-jazeera. positive in egypt do it positive in tunisia in fact there's just zero whereas signed for anybody who should indict a book if it does include a bill of admission or not for just don't go to serve you should musically but but when it comes to bahrain i just you know what a quote i'm talking about i don't because you are not the english a completely doing this for the right was a sedative they may do it ok the other week when they were a complete silence in fact in many areas they've taken the side of the government why why because they're all from the same similar ruling family and the same in the region and democracy in bahrain means it's going to have an impact of qatar is going to have impact and so yeah which has the added we have t.v. channel so why did saudis same troops seem to into bahrain and that's really i mean this is something the whole world has to speak out and have to condemned what happened but we see in the invasion of saudis to my country with complete silence now the

like other european channels that they don't hide ideas but this is the reality why does an al-jazeera does you know where positive in egypt they were positive in tunisia in fact or just zero where assigned for any of the video shown in the arab world if it is a credible revolution or not for just a little coverage of those revolution musically but but when it comes to bahrain i just you know what what i'm talking about the other because you are not the english language completely doing this was all right was a certain limit they were ok the other week when they were complete silence in fact in many areas they've taken the side of the government why why because they're all from a seven similar ruling family under similar region a democracy in bahrain means it's going to have an impact of qatar it's going to have impact in saudi arabia which has the arab we have t.v. channel so why did saudis troops into into bahrain and that's i mean and this is something the whole world has to speak out and have to condemn to what happened but we've seen the invasion of saudis to my country with compl

and most recently to date the defamation of the al jazeera english correspondent by a cctv host. i'm just wondering if you could look a little bit forward and tell me where you see the advantages and disadvantages for local journalists and also for foreign correspondents in china. do you see them relating to one another? and pulling the authorities or do you see sort of a divide there? what are the pluses and minus that's you see in that duality? >> well, one interesting fact is that still chinese citizens cannot work as reporters for foreign news agents. they can work as information gatherers but not fully fledged reporters. but your thoughts. >> i remember the first prize that we gave, or one of the first was to libby rosenthal of the "new york times," who had been amazing reporting about aids in china early on. and her reports had been translated into chinese and read by -- in the internal party better information newsletter kind of thing and had had an effect on the chinese leadership and helped to inform them because reporting in china was not so good and they didn't have as
