No More US Vetoes at the UN
It’s time.
It’s time, finally, after forty years for the United States to do the right thing for the people of Palestine. Will they?
During Wednesday’s United Nations Security Council debate about Palestinian statehood, once again, the United States announced that it would stand in the way of a vote for Palestinian self-determination.
This isn’t the first time. Nor the second, or tenth or twentieth time. In fact, it’s the forty-first time.
Forty-one times during the last forty years, the United States has said no, one way or another, to the Palestinian struggle for human rights.
Forty-one times, in votes at the UN Security Council, the United States has been the only country to use its veto to override the votes of every other member.
Forty-one times, the US has been the one country to protect Israel no matter how many settlements it builds, orchards it destroys, or acres it takes. The one country to say no to democracy, fairness and justice for Palestinians and yes to more pain and destruction for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Now, as soon as this September, the United States will vote one more time.
It’s up to us to make this the last time. Join me in telling U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Ambassador Rice that it’s time for them to vote for justice. They must not veto for the 42nd time.
The whole world will be watching. You. Me. Millions of people from around the world will be watching and hoping that the U.S. will not block UN recognition of Palestine as a member state.
Our leaders must hear from us: This time, vote yes.
We know that the vote is just one step, and only a beginning. It won’t stop the growing pace of Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. It won’t suddenly mean there is a viable Palestinian state, or freedom for those in Gaza, or a just resolution to the problem of refugees.
But it will recognize the right to Palestinian self-determination, give our movement additional tools in moving toward a truly just resolution, and give fresh hope to all the people of Palestine and Israel who deserve to live in freedom and democracy.
Do we think the US will change and finally do the right thing this time? Probably not. The US will likely again stand alone in the Security Council and once again veto, or vote no with the few allies it can find, like Micronesia and Palau, if the vote goes to the UN General Assembly.
But this time, they can’t do it quietly. We won’t let them. This time– this 42nd time– let's make sure the United States is not what keeps the Palestinians from determining their own future, and of being citizens of the world.

Drone - Russian Tv report on RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft - English

Head of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee says the presence of foreign troops in neighboring Afghanistan is a serious threat to regional security and stability.
“Contemporary experiences in countries like Germany and Japan have shown that the presence of foreign forces in any country will violate that country's sovereignty,” Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Wednesday.
Speaking in a meeting with the visiting Afghan Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Homayoun Fawzi, he went on to say that undermining the brotherly relations between regional countries is the main political and security approach adopted by the US and the UK.
“We must not allow foreign powers to sabotage the friendly relations between neighboring countries through their interventionist measures,” Majlis official news agency, ICANA, quoted him as saying.
The lawmaker further stated that the Islamic Republic will spare no effort to help with the development, progress and establishment of calm in Afghanistan.
Boroujerdi also voiced Iran's protest to the recent violation of the country's airspace by a US spy drone which took off from Afghanistan, saying that the incident was against the international obligations of Afghanistan and in violation of international law.
“The government of Afghanistan must account for such incidents and prevent their repetition in the future,” he added.
A US RQ-170 spy drone crossed Afghanistan's border with Iran on December 4, but was successfully brought down with minimal damage by the Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit. The aircraft was flying over the northeastern Iran city of Kashmar, some 225 kilometers (140 miles) away from the Afghan border.
The Afghan minister, for his part, praised the Iranian government and nation for helping in the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
“The Afghan nation will never forget the Iranian nation's support under difficult conditions,” he added.
While Afghanistan's defense ministry has announced that the Afghan army is ready to take responsibility for the country's security, after the invading US-led troops leave, senior American and NATO officials have signaled that foreign troops will remain in the country beyond 2014.
The US-led invasion of Afghanistan was waged in 2001 under the pretext of 'war on terror' and with the declared aim of toppling the Taliban regime and establishing security in the war-torn country.
However, insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led forces in the country.

Ghader missile, an anti-ship cruise missile equipped with technology that makes it undetectable by the best radars. Ghader missile was mass produced and delivered to the both naval forces of Iran, Islamic Revolution Guard Corp (IRGC) and the Military by Iran's Ministry of Defense on Wednesday. The missile has been designed, constructed and mass produced by Iranian experts and engineers to be used against large battleships and aircraft carriers. Iran's President first inaugurated Ghader missile late August of this year. Western media was very skeptical of the event.
Ghader missile can be fired from air, ground and the ship. . It is equipped with digital auto-pilot, anti-jamming radar technology and is programmable. Ghader can detect and find its target in the sea in low altitudes and sink them. Iran's high ranking military officials say that production of such weapons is exclusive and that Iran is the only country with such capabilities.
High ranking naval officials talked of the destructive power of Gahder missile.
Ghader missile has a range of more than 200 Kilometers.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now involved in the case of an Iraqi woman beaten to death in her Southern California home.
The El Cajon Police Department says the FBI is providing assistance as it investigates the death of Shaima Alawadi and whether her death was a hate crime.
The mother of five had suffered multiple blows to the head with a large object. Police say her 17-year-old daughter discovered her in the kitchen on Wednesday, along with a threatening note.
Hanif Mohebi is executive director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Mohebi says the family had received another threatening note but had dismissed it as a prank.
Alawadi\'s daughter has said that the note called her mother a terrorist and demanded she go back to her country.
Mohebi says the family remains in a state of shock.
Mohebi says for right now, family members are choosing not to speak to the media.
A family friend says he believes the reports that Alawaidi’s death is a hate crime.
El Cajon is located about 2 hours south of Los Angeles.
The city has America’s second largest community of Iraqis, behind Michigan.
But police say the beating is an isolated incident and the community shouldn’t feel targeted.
Muslim leaders say the beating follows several months of increased reports of hate crimes in the San Diego area.
They say the community needs to be vigilant in reporting any kind of threat or violence against them.
Police say they have no suspects or persons of interest in this case.
They have not confirmed whether any fingerprints were found on the note left at the crime scene.

بيانات فرمانده معظم کل قوا در دانشگاه امام حسين (ع)
بيانات در دانشگاه امام حسين عليهالسلام
در مراسم دانشآموختگی دانشجویان
در سالروز حماسهى فتح خرمشهر
بسماللّهالرّحمنالرّحيم
تبريك عرض ميكنيم حلول ماه مبارك رجب را، ولادت حضرت امام باقر را، سالروز باشكوه سوم خرداد را؛ و همچنين تبريك عرض ميكنيم به شما جوانان عزيز، درجهى سربازى در مجموعهى سپاه پاسداران و گرفتن سردوشى را.
خداوند متعال نعمت بزرگ خدمت در جمهورى اسلامى را به ما ارزانى داشته است و ما وظيفهى شكرگزارى آن را داريم. ميدانِ امروز كه بحمداللَّه سرشار از ابتكارات بود و جلوههاى زيباى نمادين در آن، سرتاسر مراسم و برنامهها را فرا گرفته بود، يك نمونهاى از پيام انقلاب اسلامى به ما، شما و همهى نسلهاى آينده است. خداوند متعال در قرآن ميفرمايد: «انّ الّذين يبايعونك انّما يبايعون اللّه»؛ آنهائى كه در راه اسلام با پيغمبر بيعت كردند، در واقع با خدا بيعت كردند. «يد اللّه فوق ايديهم»؛ آن دستى كه براى بيعت بر روى دست آنها قرار گرفت - كه دست پيغمبر بود - در واقع دست خداست. بيعت با اسلام، بيعت با دين، بيعت با مأموريت و مسئوليت الهى، چنين بيعتى است. انسان، با خدا بيعت ميكند. بعد ميفرمايد: «فمن نكث فانّما ينكث على نفسه»؛ هر كسى كه اين بيعت را بشكند، به زيان خود اقدام كرده است. «و من اوفى بما عاهد عليه اللَّه فسيؤتيه اجرا عظيما»؛(1) اما آن كسانى كه بر اين پيمان وفا ميورزند و پايدارى ميكنند، پاداش بزرگ خود را از خداى متعال دريافت خواهند كرد. اين پاداش، فقط پاداش در آخرت نيست - اگرچه پاداش آخرت آنقدر باعظمت و پرمغز و پرمعناست كه ذهن دنيائى و مادى ما قادر به فهم آن نيست - اين پاداش در دنيا هم هست. پاداش آن كسانى كه در راه خدا با بيعت الهى حركت ميكنند، پايدارى ميكنند، عزت است، سرافرازى است، آزادگى است، بزرگوارى است.
ميدانيد ملت ايران از مغاك چه ذلتى - كه بر اثر تحميل سلطهى پادشاهان ستمگر در طول چند قرن بر او وارد آمده بود - به اوج عزتِ امروز رسيد؟ امروز ملت ايران، هم عزيز است، هم مقتدر است، هم پيشگام و پيشرو است، هم به آيندهى خود اميدوار و مطمئن است و افق آينده به او لبخند ميزند. در درونِ خود نيز افراد ما، جوانهاى ما، پيران ما، قشرهاى مختلف ما، احساس هويت ميكنند؛ ميدانند دنبال چه هستند؛ تلاش آنها با معنى است. اينها همه باارزش است.
ملتها بر اثر انقطاع از دين و از معنويت و از خدا، پوك ميشوند؛ هويت خودشان را از دست ميدهند؛ دچار سرگردانى و حيرت ميشوند. ملتها بر اثر دورى از احكام خدا به ذلت مىافتند؛ همچنان كه امت اسلامى در طول قرنها دچار ذلت بود. اين ايستادگى و وفادارى ملت ايران بود كه اين جادهى استوارِ هموارِ خوشعاقبت را در مقابل ملت ايران گذاشت. البته جادهى هموار به معناى جادهى بىزحمت نيست. سختىها فراوان است، اما فضل و بزرگوارى و مردانگى انسانها در بلاهاى سخت به وجود مىآيد و ظاهر ميشود.
جوانهاى عزيز! نعمت جوانى را، توانائىهاى ذهنى و جسمى را، دلهاى پاك و نورانى را كه خداى متعال به شما داده است، قدر بدانيد. تلاش كنيد؛ اين كشور متعلق به شماست، آينده مال شماست؛ شمائيد كه بايد در پيشانى امت اسلامى و پيشاپيش اين قافله، حركت به سوى تعالى امت اسلامى را با شدت، با سرعت و به طور روزافزون ادامه دهيد. گذشتگان اين راه را آغاز كردند، مجاهدت كردند، فداكارى كردند.
خدا را سپاس ميگوئيم كه نيروهاى مسلح ما، سپاه پاسداران ما، ارتش جمهورى اسلامى ما، همهى سازمانهاى نيروهاى مسلح در اين راه پايدارى كردند، پافشارى كردند و از خود تجربههاى ماندگارى را به يادگار گذاشتند.
راه، متعلق به شماست؛ كار، كار شماست. هرچه ميتوانيد، در اين راه كوشش كنيد. ملت ايران رو به عزت و اعتلاى روزافزون است. پيشرفت ما، ترقى ما، استقرار عدالت در ميان ما - كه اين دهه، متعهد به اينهاست - به پيشرفت و توسعهى عدالت در دنياى اسلام و در نهايت در همهى جهان كمك ميكند.
جبههى ظلم و استكبار و زورگوئى و ستمگرى در دنيا رو به ضعف است. هياهوى ظاهرى آنها نشانهى قدرت واقعى نيست. هر جا كه نور معنويت و ايمان بتابد، به طور طبيعى ظلمتها رنگ ميبازند و بتدريج محو ميشوند؛ اين اتفاق دارد در دنيا مىافتد. بخشهاى مهمى از اين كار بر عهدهى جوانان عزيز ماست، و يكى از حساسترين بخشهاى آن بر عهدهى شما جوانان عزيز است.
از خداوند متعال ميخواهيم به شماها توفيق بدهد؛ به ما هم توفيق بدهد كه قدر شما جوانان عزيزمان را بدانيم و انشاءاللَّه در چهرهى نورانى و پيشانى بلند شما، آيندهى پرافتخار ملت ايران و امت اسلامى را بخوانيم.

On the contrary, continuing this path still requires steadfastness and resistance.\"

خدا را سپاس ميگوئيم كه نيروهاى مسلح ما، سپاه پاسداران ما، ارتش جمهورى اسلامى ما، همهى سازمانهاى نيروهاى مسلح در اين راه پايدارى كردند، پافشارى كردند و از خود تجربههاى ماندگارى را به يادگار گذاشتند.
راه، متعلق به شماست؛ كار، كار شماست. هرچه ميتوانيد، در اين راه كوشش كنيد. ملت ايران رو به عزت و اعتلاى روزافزون است. پيشرفت ما، ترقى ما، استقرار عدالت در ميان ما - كه اين دهه، متعهد به اينهاست - به پيشرفت و توسعهى عدالت در دنياى اسلام و در نهايت در همهى جهان كمك ميكند.
جبههى ظلم و استكبار و زورگوئى و ستمگرى در دنيا رو به ضعف است. هياهوى ظاهرى آنها نشانهى قدرت واقعى نيست. هر جا كه نور معنويت و ايمان بتابد، به طور طبيعى ظلمتها رنگ ميبازند و بتدريج محو ميشوند؛ اين اتفاق دارد در دنيا مىافتد. بخشهاى مهمى از اين كار بر عهدهى جوانان عزيز ماست، و يكى از حساسترين بخشهاى آن بر عهدهى شما جوانان عزيز است.
از خداوند متعال ميخواهيم به شماها توفيق بدهد؛ به ما هم توفيق بدهد كه قدر شما جوانان عزيزمان را بدانيم و انشاءاللَّه در چهرهى نورانى و پيشانى بلند شما، آيندهى پرافتخار ملت ايران و امت اسلامى را بخوانيم.
والسّلام عليكم و رحمةاللَّه و بركاته

[26 May 2012] Many young Egyptians reluctant to vote - English

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood says its candidate Mohamed Morsi will face former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq in the country’s presidential run-off election.
Morsi is in the lead with 25.3 percent of the vote, followed by Shafiq with 24.9 percent. Official results from the electoral body are expected to be announced on Tuesday.
The two candidates will compete in a run-off election on June 16 and 17. Electoral commission officials said that turnout was around 43 percent over the two days of voting on Wednesday and Thursday.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Yahia Ghanem, editor at the al-Ahram newspaper, to hear his opinion on this issue. The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Trying to understand these results specially Shafiq he did not do that well in his campaigning. How did he come up to this second place, finish at this point which is not really finished, it is unofficial results, what is your reaction to that?
Ghanem: Well if you talk, if you ask about the reactions I believe that partly it was a shock for a lot of number of the Egyptians whereas it was a pleasant surprise of course for some others.
So I believe that as much as Egypt and the Egyptians have been showing strong signs of being united, a united house in their march towards democracy, when it comes to the results of the first round of the elections they started showing strong signs of a house divided in terms of this splinter between Shafiq which is considered to be a remnant of the former regime and Dr. [Morsi], the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Press TV: In terms of who came out to vote we are looking at two large majorities, 60 percent saying to be from the urban areas which are farmers and then of course we are looking at the percentage of the youth in the country which is said to be 50 percent below the age of 30. But it does not seem like these results are indicating that which some are saying the silent majority came out. Do you see it that way?
Ghanem: Say it again please.
Press TV: The silent majority, do you think they were the ones that came out, tilting some of the voting in terms of the results we are seeing right now?
Ghanem: I am not quite sure if I understood your question...
Press TV: The silent majority of Egyptians is what I am getting at, did they come out, the ones who did not come out to vote for the parliamentary elections maybe came out this time to vote?
Ghanem: Well, I believe that there was a large percentage of absence from the voters because everybody expected actually a higher percentage, everybody expected that the Egyptians would break the record that they scored during the first stage of the last parliamentary elections but unfortunately it did not happen.
And I believe that there are reasons behind such absence and such reluctance of that large number of voters to practice and to exercise the right in voting the first civilian elected president but I believe that a large number of the youth who actually participated and spot the revolution, also they were reluctant to participate in these elections and I observed that while I was touring the polling stations, I believe that there were reasons actually behind such reluctance, such as the way the military council ran the whole show during the last 16 months and specially running that presidential election show.
Press TV: And of course one of the biggest troubles and challenges Yahia Ghanem is the constitution and the presidential powers. When is that going to be resolved?
Ghanem: I believe we still have to go for quite a while after the elections to sort out this issue of the right in constitution and specially that issue of writing the constitution.
But personally speaking I believe that this issue have been made an issue by certain parties with interest to complicate things in Egypt because writing constitution is not that problem actually and they complicated the whole thing by inciting all different kinds of society, all the [structure] in society to claim the right of being represented in this committee and to share or to take part in writing the constitution. No constitutions in the world are being written that way.
It is up to the specialists, the lawmakers or the professors of constitutional law to write the constitution as in many or in all the countries in the world and then for the establishing committee to discuss and to review that draft constitution but of course it does not make any sense for all representatives of all the sectors of the society and the [structure] of the society to take part in writing the constitution.
It is funny and it is not true of course.

[05 July 2012] West biased towards Syria conflict - English
Switzerland has decided to suspend arms shipments to the United Arab Emirates following a report that Swiss-made hand grenades are being used by armed gangs in Syria. The measure was taken on Wednesday after the Sonntagszeitung newspaper published a photograph taken of one such device in possession of anti-Damascus forces in the town of Marea, north of Aleppo, at the end of June.
Preliminary inquiries into the photo showed the grenade in question was made by the Bern-based arms manufacturer RUAG, and was part of a shipment made by the company to the UAE in 2003. In an interview with Press TV, Charles Shoebridge, a security analyst in London, shares his opinions regarding the issue.

Switzerland has decided to suspend arms shipments to the United Arab Emirates following a report that Swiss-made hand grenades are being used by armed gangs in Syria.
The measure was taken on Wednesday after the Sonntagszeitung newspaper published a photograph taken of one such device in possession of anti-Damascus forces in the town of Marea, north of Aleppo, at the end of June, AFP reported.
Preliminary inquiries into the photo showed the grenade in question was made by the Bern-based arms manufacturer RUAG, and was part of a shipment made by the company to the UAE in 2003.
The Federal Department of Economic Affairs (FDEA) says 225,162 hand grenades were exported to the UAE, who signed an agreement not to re-export the munitions.
"As far as the FDEA is aware, the hand grenade ... originates from a RUAG shipment to the United Arab Emirates in 2003. At present there is no evidence that Swiss hand grenades have found their way to Syria; inquiries are ongoing, however," the government statement said.
The FDEA statement also said arms shipments from Switzerland to Syria stopped in April 1998, and raised doubt whether the photograph was taken in Syria after all.
Antje Baertschi, a spokeswoman for the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) said as a “provisional" measure, Switzerland immediately moved to "freeze all arms export permits to the UAE."
Press TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author & historian, to hear his opinion on this issue. The following is a transcription of the interview.
Press TV: The Swiss claim that they are surprised about this entire issue because they have a “neutral stance” when it comes to issues like Syria. Are they as innocent as they claim considering they have been providing weapons in the first place to repressive states such as the UAE?
Tarpley: I think everybody in the world with an effective intelligence service and that would emphatically include Switzerland through their banking system; they are as well informed really as anybody in the world, they know very well that the [Persian] Gulf states, these reactionary feudal absolute monarchies like the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait but above all Saudi Arabia, all of them have been massively shipping weapons to the death squads that are working for NATO in Syria and this has been known now for months.
There is really no news except that Switzerland, to cover themselves, to cover themselves maybe on liability suits, have decided to cut off the air shipments to these feudal monarchies in the [Persian] Gulf.
But other than that, we have known, even the New York Times always the last to know, has confirmed that there were CIA officers who are directing traffic in southern Turkey sending these weapons to the groups that they want to receive them. I think that we could see a larger context; tomorrow there would be another one of these Orwellian ‘Friends of Syria’ conferences in Turkey, I believe, tomorrow, or is it Paris?
Anyway, the Russians and the Chinese have said that they will not go. I think Hilary Clinton, however, will be there. I believe it is in Paris. So that entire exercise will continue.
One of the things that NATO is doing is simply lying. Whenever they have a diplomatic meeting with Russia, in particular, then they come out and lie about it and the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was asked today, are you going to call Assad and offer him asylum in Russia? And Lavrov said that is a bad joke; why don’t you ask the same question to the German Foreign Minister [Guido] Westerwelle we were standing with? Why don’t you see if Assad is going to go to Germany?
It is all really absurd. The big development of today though that I would urgently point to is NATO is now rolling up its heavy artillery and that means WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
Sophisticated knowledgeable observers all over the world have long known since the very beginning in 2010 that WikiLeaks is a NATO-CIA conduit for various kinds of fake or real documents that are released with political aims in mind and Assange in that sense is a tool of NATO.
We are now told that there are 2.4 million cables; 400 thousand in Arabic, 70 thousand in Russia that are all embarrassing to Syria, embarrassing to the Syrian government but also embarrassing to companies that are still selling various things to Syria.
The example given is Finmeccanica, an Italian firm that has been selling radios to Assad. Also notable is that Assange and WikiLeaks have got a consortium of international press organs; they have got the Associate Press of the United States, the biggest indeed.

Speech by the secretary general of Hizbullah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, on the 6th Anniversary of the 33 Day War (July 2006).
Hezbollah will surprise Israel in any future war: Nasrallah
Marking the sixth anniversary of Israel\\\'s war against Lebanon in the summer of 2006, Hezbollah says the resistance movement will surprise Tel Aviv in any future war.
The Lebanese Resistance Movement said it has the capability to be victorious in any future war, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah stated in a televised speech on Wednesday night.
\\\"Israelis are still suffering from the shock of their defeat in the 33-day war,\\\" Nasrallah said, noting that the Israeli regime is still investigating the reasons behind their defeat in the 2006 war.
\\\"Two hundred and fifty rockets were launched at Israel on the last day of the July war,\\\" he said, recalling how the then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert described the defeat as \\\'catastrophic\\\'.
Hezbollah\\\'s leader took pride in the military achievements of the Lebanese movement, emphasizing that its rockets are capable of hitting targets as far as Haifa and Tel Aviv.
Nasrallah voiced support for the Lebanese army and highlighted the need for national unity within Lebanon as the key to counter the US-Israeli strategy of fomenting sectarian disputes in the country and the region.
\\\"The July [2006] was an Israeli trick,\\\" he pointed out, noting that if Hezbollah had been defeated, Israel would have expanded the war to Syria.
\\\"The second stage of the Israeli attack was aimed at bringing down President Bashar al-Assad\\\'s government,\\\" Nasrallah added, noting that Hezbollah\\\'s victory in Lebanon thwarted this objective and prevented Syria from falling under the US-Israeli scheme.
Hezbollah\\\'s leader blamed the West, headed by the United States, for preventing dialogue on Syria and supporting terrorist activities in the country.
\\\"There is a US-Israeli project against Syria,\\\" he stated. \\\"The US and Israel consider Syria as a problem, because Syria is a real supporter of resistance.\\\"
The Lebanese leader also accused the West of heaping pressure on Iran because of its support for the Palestinian cause. He scoffed at the US attempts to undermine Iran\\\'s sovereignty, pointing out how all this pressure from the West has strengthened the Islamic Republic.

[19 July 2012] Obama drones akin to Bush torture - English
Relatives of three US citizens killed in non-UN sanctioned US assassination drone strikes in Yemen have sued senior officials at the US Defense Department and the CIA.
According to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, the killings of US-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and naturalized US citizen Samir Khan were unconstitutional, Reuters reported.
The victims' relatives said that the three assassinations committed by the CIA violated US legal guarantees, including the right to due process.
On January 31, President Obama confirmed that the US uses the unmanned drones in Pakistan and other countries.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, human rights & war crimes lawyer, to further discuss the issue.

Syrian opposition has met in Doha to discuss formation of a transitional government predicated on the overthrow of the Assad regime. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on July 28, "Our Western partners... together with some of Syria's neighbors are essentially encouraging, supporting and directing an armed struggle against [the Syrian government]."
On Wednesday, the first diplomatic blunder occurred in the London Olympics games when the South Korean flag rather than the North Korean flag was shown before women's football match. Meanwhile, the UK economy is in worsening recession. The economy is now smaller than it was when the Tory-Lib Dem coalition came into power in 2010. The Bank of England is going to print more notes probably up to 500 billion pounds more in an effort to stimulate growth.

Egypt\'s new President Mohammed Morsi is condemning the U.S.-made video denigrating Islam\'s Prophet Muhammad as an obscenity. He insists that freedom of expression does not allow for attacks on any religion.
Morsi also condemned the violence that swept Muslim countries in reaction to the video, including an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed the American ambassador and three other U.S. citizens.
Morsi\'s remarks Wednesday, as he made his debut on the global stage at the United Nations, were in direct opposition to President Barack Obama\'s insistence on all countries protecting freedom of speech at the General Assembly a day earlier.
Morsi opened his remarks by celebrating himself as Egypt\'s first democratically elected leader.

Media Watch Israel has killed the military commander of the Palestinian Hamas movement in a missile strike on the Gaza Strip and launched air raids across the enclave, pushing the two sides to the brink of a new war.
The attacks on Wednesday marked the biggest escalation between Israel and Gaza fighters since the 2008-2009 conflict and came despite signs on Tuesday that neighbouring Egypt had managed to broker a truce in the territory after a five-day surge of violence.
