( chanting in arabic ) >> narrator: but the opposition is not conceding. they have formed a political party and called for outside help. defecting military officers have established their own militia. syria's neighbors now worry that a syrian civil war is imminent and may overflow its borders. >> when the arab revolts began at the beginning of the year, there was so much hope. but what we're seeing with syria is the danger, is the flip side of those arab revolutions. civil war in syria is going to have reverberations immediately in the rest of the region, and i think everyone is bracing themselves for that. >> syria is the h

munching his way through a bag of crisps, and i said to him, purely frivolously, "you could do with ramadan lasting all year round, couldn't you, kemal?" it was quite witty, really. and now his dad has said that i singled him out because of his religion, and apparently i've traumatized him about his weight. which is down to a glandular disorder it seems, which presumably compels him to thrust pies down his throat. and that was it. the governors won't take it seriously. the governors?! he wrote to the l.e.a., so it has to go to the governors. but they'll just kick it into the long grass. i can't believe that you were trying to keep this quiet. i was gonna tell you when it was over. brilliant. so now i've got two members of my family lying to me! i didn't want to worry you. ( thudding, screaming upstairs ) we should be sharing these things, pete. i know, i know. you're right. um... what? there was... an incident that was vaguely similar last year. how similar? similar in that it was another completely baseless complaint. and it went to the governors. ohh! i mean, you just can't make jokes the

the joke involved ramadan. i honestly don't think that he found it offensive. i think he's just making trouble. i mean, we all have to put up with a bit of teasing in our lives, don't we? my priority, obviously, is for all to move towards a managed outcome. i presume that's what you'd like, as well. yes. that's... that's what i'd like. a... managed outcome. these are $200 designer trousers, and he's peed on them. what are designer clothes? traffic's moving up ahead. i know, dad. they're clothes that cost more because they've got somebody else's name on them. surely clothes that aren't designer clothes, they're still designed, aren't they? traffic is moving. i'm just waiting for angela to get her belt on. i mean, they can't just appear, can they?
