importantly we're witnessing in syria is a some sort of tug of war between iran and their other arab gulf states. saudi arabia. jordan or iraq because they are taking a different position than saudi arabia in iran and somehow. one how you see that it's trying to support the syrian regime and saleh a the foreign minister recently said that any political change in syria should come within a framework and they are not they don't want to see the regime is removed from day to day support them literally apparently. and that's really twenty five basis the network of military bases all around the world forms the new empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million or more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the world. we don't have foreign bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in in for us our bases of a lot of the noise is our noise of those ball to us at all because they're o

importantly what we use in syria is a some sort of tug of war between iran and the other arab gulf states specifically qatar and saudi arabia. i'm not mentioning jordan or iraq because they are taking a different position than saudi arabia in iran somehow and one how you see that it's trying to support the syrian regime and saleh a the foreign minister recently said that any any political change in syria should come within the framework of the assad regime and there are. they don't want to see the regime is even more. diplomatically. and before we go to. break it has nothing to do with democracy and the welfare of the syrian people right all of this western media coverage is this all yeah well i think well it's depends on who you're looking for and on the iranian. here we'll go with your brain after the break we'll continue our discussion on the arab spring and counter revolution stay with. wealthy british. writers for. the. market. to. find out what's really happening to the global economy max cons are there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to report. mission to free credit take should be free. fo

out by the united states and its allies not so much contrast also for example the reports on iran and saudi arabia simple browser search of the word protest in the iran report eighty six results and when it comes to the section on saudi arabia same sort of shields only six results a protest may have been a larger iran but this total whitewash definitely amounts to political favoritism here you see it's not as if there weren't protests in saudi arabia. this video posted on the social media website on friday shows a woman in saudi arabia defying the country's driving the law is being increasingly challenge by activists with thousands joining facebook groups and internet campaigns that teach women how to drive. so that's right america's oil rich ally where there was also the self-immolation a planned day of rage one facebook group had twenty six thousand people discussing the demonstrations but the protest movements were largely quiet by the authorities there happened in iran i can assure you that it would have been plastered all over the report at the top of every news show but saudi arabia partner

saudi arabia will. alert them towards future potential. tensions and potential conflict between iran and saudi arabia and also between themselves because the iraqi government is an ally of iran so the. military build up and the ambition to be mugged once again as a major regional power will trump everything else all right a middle east expert at the package for patty thank you very much for coming on our to you today. a massive explosion and fire have hit an ammunition dump belonging to russia's ministry of defense in the country's far east officials say some weapons exploded when they were being disposed of the fire and explosions are continuing to rage prompting the suspension of the trans-siberian railway a part of which is located a few kilometers away from the site of this event officials say two people have been injured i mean time about two thousand people are being evacuated from the nearby villages specialist trains and a number of helicopters have been battling it out for hours or trying to bring the situation under control. now let's get to some other global news for you b

iran organizes protests against a planned economic and military union between bahrain and saudi arabia calling it a u.s. plot to annex the region. and the syrian regime says al qaida militants are behind attacks in the country as damascus releases the names of foreign terrorists it claims are in custody paul washington tonight is recent reports it's coordinating arms deliveries to rebels up next martin andrews takes you around moscow's iconic tourist spots in the russian capital. hello and welcome in this week's moscow up a side will be taking a look at various and favorite spots around the kremlin where the best places to rest those we reach meets grab a bite to eat all shop til you drop look at history on architecture let's get some action here in the russian capital. as kites fly in front of the kremlin walls and that is better than the costumes it's clear to everyone loves to walk outside take in the beautiful surroundings and cherish the warm sunny weather when it comes to looking at history you don't get much better than this. and don't worry if you don't know your bolshoi from y

yet some nations, such as china, russia, india, iran, saudi arabia and many, many more have been pushing to reverse this course by giving the international telecommunication union, the itu, regulatory jurisdiction over internet governance and other aspects affecting the internet. some of the arguments in support of such actions may stem from frustrations with the internet corporation for assigned names and numbers, ican. but any concerns regarding ican should not be used as a pretext to end the multi-stakeholder model that has served all nations and the developing world now more than ever so well for all of these years. constructive reform of the international telecommunication re lation, the icr, the rules, may be needed. if so the scope should be limited to traditional telecommune kantelekmu telecommunication services. modifications of the current model may be necessary as well, but we should work together to ensure no intergovernmental regulatory overlays are placed into this sphere. not only would nations surrender some of their national sovereignty in such a pursuit, they would suff

but iraq itself with these massive oil reserves could it become a regional player akin to iran and saudi arabia not just because of the or rest of your revenues but also because of its status presumably improving as its economy improves. well i think that's partially true but when when the troops when the u.s. troops left in two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven obama when on stage in front of a military audience at fort bragg and actually said that he's left the country stable and the people have a democratic representative government that he left or it left a sovereign stable nation but it's not sovereign if western oil companies have trust in your world. that all companies were private were nationalized in iraq and i think they should be if the people want to benefit from the revenue then they all companies should be nationalized and iraq should be able to sell its own oil whatever price it decides not have its all taken from them from western oil companies at the price dictated by the west interesting perspective thanks very much indeed for your thoughts expert on iraq might rally jo

in iran protests backed by the state have been organized against plans to form a european union style bloc amongst the gulf states two key american allies saudi arabia and bahrain would be the first arab gulf nations to sign an agreement iran has called the idea u.s. backed plot to see bahrain become part of saudi arabia bahrain is seen anti-government protests for more than a year but fears now the potential union could strengthen the position of those sunni rules over a largely shia population professor sayyid mohammad marandi from the university of tehran says it's the saudi royal family together with washington that both stand to benefit the most. this is basically for the survival of the dictatorship in bahrain because the dictatorship the king is immensely unpopular the vast majority of the people of bahrain want the overthrow of the regime but unfortunately the west supports the saudis and the dictatorship but what ron is concerned about is that the saudi regime will attempt to annex i mean because the dictator is immensely unpopular here been able to keep control and in order. revolution. allowed saudi forces to effectively occupy the countr

for many years now scores of countries led by china, russia, iran, saudi arabia, but many, many others have pushed for, as vladimir putin said almost a year ago, international control of the internet through the itu. now, i've tried to find a more concise way to express this issue, but i can't seem to improve on mr. putin's crystallization of the effort that has been afoot for quite some time. more importantly, i think we should take mr. putin's designs very seriously. six months separate us from the renegotiation of the 1988 treaty that led to insulating the internet from economic and technical regulation. what proponents of internet freedom do or don't do between now and then will determine the fate of the net and effect global economic growth as well as determine whether political liberty can proliferate. during the treaty negotiations, the most lethal threat to internet freedom may not come from a full frontal assault but through insidious and seemingly innocuous expansions of intergovernmental powers. this subterranean effort is already under way. while influential itu member stat

saudi arabia. in the persian gulf, not the same as saudi arabia, and even in iran. and yet we pursuit in afghanistan after our victory. in iraq, the strategy is -- it is with pashtun. -- in afghanistan, favoring pashtun. they equal parliament -- to great extent. in iraq, sorry to say, we basically help the sunni insurgents. this is one of the major things we have to keep in mind. the system of international relations has grown asymmetrically. the other thing is i am going to say this is the last time i will say, i have an opportunity -- on policy towards iran has distorted our entire policy in the middle east. you cannot go around -- around. dual containment -- whether to try to help the taliban. [unintelligible] a major rationale was to contain iran. we have made out of iran and soviet union. it is a crummy little country with rickety stuff that has been your mouth. if we want to mention -- manage this region, we have to have a holistic approach [applause] -- approach. [applause] >> a closing word or two, and i would like to thank all for coming. >> i might say the

titles were not only weapons and send them you know they cannot defend themselves against iran or saudi arabia or anybody else who they want to take take them over this is i really do not see the self defense argued. this is about recruiting american arms manufacturers this is about extending the we influence of united states in the reason i really don't see see much of a case here you know we're we're we're result with lance what sort of repercussion why this cooperation have to those railing in bahrain the streets. well i mean these were discouraging. i mean one of the frustrations of the people in him bahrain is this is one of the most organized most consistently nonviolent. pro-democracy strong in fact in terms of course in the population and the heart of the really it was the largest of all the arab spring pro-democracy protests and any country and yet the united states the stood by while the baba ringy regime and support of the saudis and other u.s. allies really crush this regime not just not just in persecuting the protesters but even assuming journalists to jail for daring to cover th

iran. >> saudi arabia, iraq and other suppliers are putting more oil into the markets so there is oil available for india and others. we do not believe that iran will peacefully resolve this unless the pressure continues. >> that was some mood lighting behind her. did you notice that? one of the goals of the trip is to tighten economic sanctions on iran. on iran. >>> still ahead on fox 5 morning news. >> you might say the voice drives the energy of d.c. we haven't heard much from him lately. we have an update on how chuck brown is doing. >> first, we'll check in with tucker for your full forecast. rain could be headed our way. we're back in just a moment.  >>> it may soon be more expensive for park on the streets of d.c. a new proposed parking plan would charge people more money to park in high demand areas and less money when the demand is low. they will also allow d-d.o.t. to raise and lower meter rates depending on the demand. officials hope this will free up short-term parking spaces businesses like. it is projected to raise about $3 million. >> so are we paying a dollar an hour now? >>

i mean camps with within islam, this is political because both iran and saudi arabia are using directlyard to mobilize their followers so even though the struggle is political and ideological it has taken on sectarian... that's why the war. >> rose: and what do you think of the possibility of somehow palestinians getting together. that there will be a reconciliation between fatah and hamas. >> i think it's real and promising and i think what has happened in the arab world has really convinced the leadership of both hamas and fatah that there's no other way and the palestinian public is demanding. it will take a long time because they have entrenched interests but the palestinians are moving in that direction. how long it will take, i don't know. egypt is playing a major role. >> rose: qatar is trying to get them together. >> exactly. one point for you that hamas has shifted from the iranian base camp to the gulf arab camp and this is a major shift because it's no longer looking towards iran >> and where's hazard looking. >> hamas is anchored in the iranian city. and the leader, hassan n

taken center stage in the gulf where tens of thousands rallied in iran and the rain against the light is integration plans with saudi arabia in bahrain crowds chanted that their country was not for sale what iran said at the proposed deal was a plot aimed at wiping the entire state of the map you as independent researcher. who are ridge says the so-called unity is just as saudi power grab. the bahraini people and the iranian people have an affinity that dates back not just historically and whatever happens to bond rainbows who got society or even in the ninety's when bahrain was demonstrated to get more reformulate democracy and human why is there no willing to stand by and how saudi arabia occupies them and saudi arabia has been doing this in fact in two thousand and nine the center for human rights protested the very fact that the political elites in bahrain were allowing the nationalized the nation of from saudi arabia yemen and other places to marginalize the residence by a brain this shiite residents and lead and basically. die knew them to turn that they used in their protest so it's of course iran is concerned when

precisely what the united states this morning to see all along these be their ally in saudi arabia versus the enemy in iran the rebels saying the peace plan is dead would you agree with that i think that peace plan has been subverted from since the very beginning as russia has stated repeatedly the goal was to try to allow the peace plan to be put in place and to actually take hold but instead we saw an immediate transformation into the use of terrorist tactics into the use of subverting this peace plan for the precise reason that they knew that peace plan was in the interests of the assad government and of the other governments in the region who wanted to avoid a military intervention so if that peace plan were allowed to continue military intervention would be off the table i would try to live in new york thanks so much for your time today and thoughts on this thanks for joining thanks so much. and while the rage over the massacre in houla spread an eagerness to illustrate events in the most harrowing way has misleading results what side of the b.b.c. story which use images of rows of children's bodies s

state sanctioned murder and join the rest of the civilized world i mean we're right there with iran and saudi arabia and and my and mark in executing people my only problem with execution is that we don't do it cheap enough i wish we didn't have to spend so much money executing criminals who create who commit heinous acts i think he would feel very different if you've ever been arrested unjustly i can't say they have been arrested unjustly but. i'm against the death penalty i think the finale of it is one of the problems in one of the reasons it is so expensive and it's very expensive it takes a very long time for an execution to run its course because the due process is that obviously you need it but this is a situation here you know the innocence project barry scheck these are important programs that have come along and the science you know this is one of those areas that science can help us to know you know the worst thing in the world would be to be in prison for something you didn't do but obviously even worse than that would be to do executed for something you did. do you know the finale of a

in iran protests back to by the state have been organized against plans to form a european union style bloc amongst the gulf states two key american allies saudi arabia and bahrain would be the first nations to sign an agreement iran has called the idea a u.s. plot to annex the region and professor saeed mohammad marandi from the university of toronto agrees that washington will only benefit from this deal. this is basically for the survival of the dictatorship in bahrain because the dictatorship the king is immensely unpopular the vast majority of the people of battering want the overthrow of the regime but unfortunately the west supports the saudis and the only dictatorship what ron is concerned about is that the saudi regime will attempt to annex i mean because the dictator is immensely unpopular he is unable to keep control and in order to crush the revolution. allowed the forces to effectively occupy the country it's very interesting that the people of bahrain despite all this this small country has put up so much resistance and i think this itself shows the immense weakness that lies behind the saudi regime but the iranians believe that the fac

caucuses in other other parts of the world it doesn't feel itself pitched against iran certainly not in the way that saudi arabia and the guy. states too who are desperate for someone to attack iran because they feel really in the in the region they feel that really an influence in that region and really the never have lightly reunions are not very pretty so i do apologize for the we're running low on time here but turkey is not the only country heavily dependent on iranian oil let's look at one of the biggest fastest growing economies in the world india another country for whom it's crucial how much of this is connected with the us geo politics in the region. i think it's very much connected with that what we're seeing is those rising a color me and since the days of the call war a lessening of their alliance or if you like their allegiance to the united states of america and we are seeing you know countries like india begin to adopt the rules for a new some of our foreign policy and reflect in their own new economic power therefore i don't think india which has very important links with tehran is just simply g

iran is calling us. the region saudi arabia is moving to a military and political political alliance with brain crackdown on pro-democracy protests continue. and egyptians may have hoped the revolution would bring change but it seems that only brought a rocketing crime rates and unsafe streets thousands of murders on abductions have been reported since the end of the uprising. now here and on to the occupy wall street movement has proven that it's not ready to give up just yet people continue to come out onto the streets and next we take a look at the so-called american spring and our special report. i have. packed. up. my. guts to let me go to head up my gut tells me out of the till i come back for you haven't spotted the. look like. she. was. likely going to. want to sell me a new strap people. and as you know is was bleeding when the cops song. always looks like yeah it's it's unfortunate you know it's it's always a system critics yeah. and the press corps spread exact. they don't like to make the connections that we're now descending into a police state yeah yeah yeah now they'll never know it's real

. >> for the sake of iran, for the sake of saudi arabia. it's is a lesson from the civil war. 20 years, you are acting the same. >> that is why it lebanon's leaders are working hard to calm the supporters. >> from the big screen, the country's most powerful man went out of this way to praise the leader of lebanon for helping to end one of this big sectarian prices. the kidnap apparently by rebels in syria. as the missing man supporters waited at the airport, they cheered their leader and their ally, the syrian president. about half of lebanon and agrees. the other half side with the rebels. the route was peaceful today as this week's crises were -- a rich was peaceful today as the six crises were subsiding. the two countries are so close. some nasty surprises are coming out of syria at the moment. lebanon is fragile, it cannot take to many more of them. >> a man has been charged with second-degree murder of the killing of a boy who went missing more than 30 years ago. new york police said pedro hernandez told them he had choked etan patz to

iran is aiding syrian efforts. saudi arabiaas banned all government and private agencies from using the western georgian calendar. the times pays tribute to the queen of disco, donna summer, who died at age 63. >> this is newsday on the bbc. >> headlines. facebook has set the price of its latest offering. a value of $100 billion on the company. >> relatives of chen have given accounts of the torture they claim they suffered at the hands of chinese authorities. the u.s. has eased some restrictions on investment in the burma because of the political reform process. hillary clinton says american sanctions were only being suspended, not completely lifted, to ensure the momentum on reform was maintained. >> we are doing what others have done. we are suspending sanctions. we believe that is the appropriate step for us to take today. we will be keeping relevant laws on the books. as an insurance policy, our goal and our commitment is to move as rapidly as we can to expand business and investment opportunities. >> japan and australia h

saudi arabia qatar they have their own interests in terms of reorganizing the middle east principally of weakening syria weakening iran changing the relationship of forces in lebanon but behind qatar and saudi arabia and even turkey which has its own regional ambitions is the united states is the nato countries the former colonizers of syria and the region who are committed to overthrowing the assad government and who i believe have crossed the rubicon now in terms of preparing for the all out intervention including military intervention by nato forces and remember turkey will be the gateway for nato as a nato power for the efforts by the west as they did in libya to use ultimately military power to overthrow a government and independent government that they want to replace with a proxy regime in this important region assad government was hoping against hope that some sort of. mission such as the observer mission with kofi annan might be enough to keep the dogs at bay but i think it's quite clear that when the united states and its allies saudi arabia qatar are pumping in huge quantities hundreds of millions of dollar

but first the uprising in bahrain has also been eagerly watched in iran mass protests greeted attempts by saudi arabia to form a union with bahrain's rudy monarchy many saw the proposed union now on hold as being aimed at curbing iran's regional influence this week also saw the u.s. house of representatives passed a bill intended to tighten the screws on iran's nuclear program the bill would make a military telling it if it ever reaches a stage where it could just theoretically develop nuclear weapons policy directive from the national iranian american council says washington's ready to strike but we have to remember that this is one week out from when the next round of negotiations are going to occur between the u.s. iran and the other u.n. permanent five security council members but it puts pressure on the administration to not be able to make the deals necessary in order to achieve the real goal and the goal that the president has stated which is to prevent a nuclear armed iran so this really is congress sending a message that the united states is should take a very hawkish approach to this and the

relationship in the future than the nuclear issue bottom line of the nuclear issues if iran got a nuclear weapon saudi arabia would buy from the pakistanis indeed may have already and we would be in a rough balance so it's manageable even if they got a nuclear weapon just because i have you here i want to talk really really quickly about pakistan they're going to announce any day they're going to reopen their borders to the u.s. only if there's going to be a little change instead of you know that opening the borders letting the u.s. you know bring in what they want to now what they're going to charge five thousand dollars per shipping container is this just you know the cost of doing business with people you know. like this is the pakistanis trying to maximize the potential before the united states pulls out because if we operate as we have in the past recently pakistan we will pull out and that will be the last thing we do for pakistan for the next twenty years i mean that's our relationship with pakistan up and down up and down up and down and so they're just trying to cover their bases as we get ready to

iran is fighting back. in october of last year, agents disrupted an assassination plot targeting saudi arabia's ambassador to. iran denies that. in february, there were three attacks on israeli diplomats in india, georgia and thailand, all that used similar magnetic bombs. israel has blamed iran. then there's this "washington post" headline with chilling details of i rain-linked plots to kill american diplomats and their families. outfront tonight, the reporter who broke that story and former cia officer who specialized in iran, art keller. great to have both of you with us, appreciate you taking the time. let me just start by asking, are we really, do you think, in a proxy war with iran? is that fair to say that at this point? >> yeah, we call it a shadow war. it's been under way for a long time. both sides are involved in it. i think we've just see the iranians step it up a lot in the last few months. they have been doing things they have been cautious to do before, like attacking diplomats overseas. now we see for the first time really targeting americans too, which is new and pretty chilling. >> it is. a
