troops due to leave by next february but certain sticky issues were notably left out of the speech as archie is going there to check our report. although the president try to speak in most generic terms on foreign policy one could notice a change in the way he was talking about the results of the spring the aftermath of europe spring he said quote unquote messy he also said that the u.s. can't dictate the course of changing countries like egypt we remember how the u.s. was cheerleading for revolutions in those countries and maybe the change they see now is not much to their liking the president was very briefly incautiously mentioned syria saying the u.s. supports those in the syrian opposition that respects the rights of all syrians but with terrorists flooding into syria and with radical forces doing a lot of the fighting for the opposition there it's really hard to see much respect for all syrians right at the moment the president mentioned north korea saying north korea's provocative actions show how much the u.s. needs missile defense he also said the administration will be seeking furt

world news and analysis live from our moscow headquarters you're watching archie with me to see calf enough well in tunisia clashes between the mourners and police have marred the funeral of a secular opposition leader whose assassination has led to chaos in the streets and a crisis in the parliament now violence erupted near the cemetery as demonstrators threw stones and set cars a blaze while police responded with tear gas adding to the turmoil the country has been paralyzed by a general strike archies maria from the ocean is following the developments in tunisia. as you can see many people have gathered here today for the funeral so for chokri belaid one of the most prominent opposition leaders who was killed on wednesday in same standard situation here on the ground remains very tense and very valid tile and that is definitely struck me that the relative stability that we've seen here at all in two thousand and eleven revolution will be the mood of people here it's quite a small square but it's packed with people with flags and all of them actually chanting from time to time and

prodded john brennan on things from torture to drones but appeared to back off when push came to shove archies ganja can now report on the questions that we're not just. what most people expected to hear was how does the u.s. government make decisions as to who should be on their kill list and mr brennan would certainly be the most appropriate person to ask because he is known to have been in charge of the kill list and he's known as the architect of the administration's targeted assassinations program so the question of who the drones are targeting was critical and one of the senators asked john brennan whether there should be at least some judicial oversight over those executions by drones and here's what he said none of those actions or to determine past guilt for those actions that he took the decisions that are made or to take action so that we prevent future action to protect american lives so the rationale that john brennan gave for not going to court is that the administration is not in the business of punishing individuals but it's in the business of preventing attacks and he basicall
