they have said that they would get their troops out of lebanon. they have said that they're pulling some of their intelligence people out of lebanon. but the prime minister who was named as very pro-syrian said he was going to resign. now he's decided to stay on, at least as of this morning. and so there is a question as to how the tentacles and the control will go on. it is from a syrian perspective, it is a mixed bag in terms of whether -- if they're overextended in a country it hurts them. if they have to withdrawal totally under pressure, that hurts the position of their leadership. i think people are pretty confused about what's actually going on in syria, whether some of the old -- or the gang that was around is running it. but syria is of concern to the united states and of concern to the region. the role of the hezbollah is of tremendous concern in the region, and so i think it's very unstable. the question that i have are whether the same kind of thoughts about democracy in lebanon and jordan and in iraq and various places, whether we're

he'd left the security of lebanon.e was going to be on a flight into cyprus' airport. how they knew, they won't say. but cypriot police were waiting for him. when he got off the plane. and in cyprus, unlike lebanon, a person can be extradited to the u.s. but yaz would fight every inch of the way to avoid facing aggravated murder charges in ohio. >> that's our guy. >> it wasn't until january 2009 that yazeed essa, the man in this grainy footage, was finally brought back to the united states. and detective mckee, the highland heights, ohio, officer who first started investigating rosie's death four years before was waiting for him. >> we put him in the backseat of the car. i didn't say a word to him. >> you didn't say, remember me? >> i think he did. i don't think i had to say that. >> coming up, the one question no one had yet answered. why would the doctor have wanted his wife dead? are you asserting there's a little love nest, a little pad? >> oh, yeah, i thought it was a play house. >> love shack. >> love shack, that

correspondent traveled to jordan and lebanon to meet some of the children who fled across the syrian border. >> they have been fleeing here for many months, bringing allegations of crime against humanity. the border lines are a refuge for brutalize children. the 7-year-old twins were fleeing with their parents when they say soldiers fired at them. >> [speaking a foreign language] >> mohamad was struck in the knee. the violence is relentless. in a hospital, balloons to cheer a boy who has lost his leg. we cannot identify this 8-year- old for fear it against reprisals. his father told me a tank shell was fired at their home. the family was trapped there for 15 days, unable to get to hospital until they made the dangerous journey to lebanon. across the border, the syrian government blamed the armed rebels for the attack. it denies targeting children and says syria was a victim of a foreign plot. in every war, children become casualties, often caught in the crossfire of adult conflict. but what happened in syria is very different. from evidence gathered from the people we've spoken to ov

rescue workers in lebanon continue to search for survivors in a residential area.t least 17 people were killed in beirut. many of the dead were said to be laborers. reports said a five-story building housed dozens of people and was in a poor state of repair. the nigerian president has backed down over the cut in fuel subsidies that doubled petrol prices and led to protests. trade unions have defended a general strike against the price rises. the credit rating agency standard and poor's has downgraded the rating of the bailout fund. the decision may make it more difficult for the fund to borrow. that would limit its ability to help struggling economies. one of the six contenders for the republican presidential nomination in the united states has dropped out of the race. john hanson has now endorsed mitt romney -- jon huntsman has now endorsed mitt romney and warned the candidates against toxic campaigning against mr. romney. let's go to politics in pakistan. turmoil continues. the civilian government was dealt a blow when the supreme court ruled he should answer cha

, and jordan will follow suit, even if they voted for the boycott, which iraq and lebanon did not do. for a start, i think any further action at the united nations, more severe economic sanctions will be blocked by russia and china. even if we were to assume maximum economic sanctions, i think we will just be looking at a very long, hurtful waiting game that will extend for at least this year, and i would not be surprised next year as well. sanctions are not a sufficient measure and will inevitably hurt the syrian people more than the regime. >> any predictions -- thank you for joining us. off the coast of italy today, the search resumed for the bodies of those that had been missing since the costa concordia ran aground. hope of finding survivors grows dim. meanwhile, audio recordings are emerging from the night the disaster unfolding. >> as the wind picks up, a rescue worker steps out into the void. down towards the costa concordia, stable for now. today, another apparently damming conversation emerged -- apparently damning conversations emerged. court official asks the ship if there

moving into syria from from lebanon so i wouldn't be surprised that you know some terrorist elements from libya or other places found their way to get to syria in order to not to stir up trouble and to try to fan some kind of a snake or a religious conflict there this is what the terrorists are all about about starting conflict but we believe that they're all of the international community in a crisis situations like where we find in syria should be a two to help of the people of that country to find a peaceful political solution to the crisis that has been the line of the russian federation all along and that has been our guiding principle in the security council as well so with everything you've just said in mind how much more leeway would you like to see the syrian government given to sort out this from within. well we don't give any leeway to anybody we believe that the syrian government should be extremely prudent and should refrain from excessive use of force we believe that there has been there are been some extremely troubling reports coming out of syria about excessive use o

and this i can agency is in lebanon, hezbollah. they almost put an end to lebanon as an independent come integrated country. they are known because of the situation in the middle east. but what i is the international community will take upon itself to bring an end to the management of the renamed domestication of the middle east. what do they want commend the iranian? they want to be the hegemon. they don't want peace. they want to have a nation under patrimony. i believe the problem is not just the nuclear issue. iran today is the only conflict in the world, which took more corruption as a way of governing. they hang people without trial. they encourage every terroristic acts. they don't have any expression, respect for human rights. it's the only country, mind you, the only country that threatens openly to destroy another of the middle east israel. and i think the steps that are taken by europe and america are not enough and i believe that we have to put the pleasure on the human rights. i believe that values are strong at econom

precisely because serious part of a complicated network of alliances that includes iran hezbollah in lebanon and gaza some os on the one hand and the u.s. israel saudi arabia and turkey on the other anything that happens in damascus is likely to have a tremendous impact on the balance of competing interests in the region moshe charney for cross-talk r.t. . ok ivan if i go to you first in washington. assad is defiantly saying he's not going anywhere and he's blaming his countries of problems on outside forces to what degree is that true because there's an ample amount of evidence from on the sidelines that there is certainly has been training of troops in turkey there are a lot of arms going into the country from the outside. there's even talk that the united nations i'm sorry the the american national security agency is looking at some options right now i mean are we seeing a build up to an outside intervention in syria. well certainly turkey has been as flip flopped and gun against assad and i think there are they are harboring some of the. dissidents and that sort of thing i'm not sure thi

the leader of the druze here and lebanon called on the druze of syria not to serve in the army and the police so these are two people both the government of qatar and the leader of the druze here in lebanon tend to have their nose ahead of the crowd if this is an indication then there is a crackdown in the offing i sincerely doubt that the u.s. after just pulling out of iraq and preparing to pull out of afghanistan is interested in intervening or having and they need to intervention in syria which i'm assuming will not be as smooth comparatively speaking as the instance of libya . could have in the program live from beirut political science professor be with. iran made arrests over the last weeks nuclear scientists killing it won't say who but suspicions of that it's mossad western coals for military intervention a growing which russia says would be disastrous reports next on how the fear is that a covert israeli operation is already underway. from this rather spartan recording studio in jerusalem one israeli jew has been reaching out to people in iran for fifty two years ties between

and then israel can seize the water resources of southern lebanon and maybe that has something to do with it as well and and then maybe syria will collapse and they can get rid of the barracks can get rid of the sort of view they will base and serious of it all sort of fits the motif if you have if you are a hedge of my ticket and par and you're trying to expand your control over the world then all of this all of this fits but there's no valid reason for a war with the red and i know it will leave iran will take any silly action about provoking one and if it's we have to see where it leads because of course there is the whole issue of imperial overreach and debt g. seven nations will have to turn over seven point six trillion dollars in two thousand and twelve the u.s. of course leading the way with japan a conversation for another day though i would believe that you probably think this is all heading in the same lousy direction i really appreciate having on the show that was an economist and former reagan administration official dr paul craig roberts. all right so we've talked all a

and they work out a deal where the french would get syria, and lebanon. and the british would get palestine and iraq, and pipelines would go from mesopotamia from northern iraq down through syria, down through lebanon, down to haifa. and that would be controlled by the french, and the oil would be controlled by anglo persian oil company which was the comment name, there's an angle everything but it was one company controlled out of london. now, there was one problem with this, as part of the deal, to defeat the turks, the british in courage the local tribesmen of the arabian peninsula to rise up against turkey. and who are we talking about? were talking about faisal, okay? and faisal, london said the faisal, we will give you your national aspirations. we will give you your state in the middle east, but all, but we need you to attack the turks, their trains and help us getting. well, look at the lawrence of arabia story. everyone knows the lawrence of arabia story. at the same time, britain was a telling the zionists, that is, the jewish nationalists, that
