the israelis it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be involved directly they could. support countries or bodies that could could make life for israelis more difficult so there are many we means in which the iranians can support the syrian people the syrian government and it's for more aggression against the syrian state and the syrian people and syrian sovereignty. if the airstrike really took place what was its purpose and did it have anything to do with iran. well at this stage it's very difficult to say but i think what is important is that the united states knew about their strike before hand they did nothing about it the european union as usual so silent about it there was no condemnation for killing syrians two for bombing the country for damaging the country's infrastructure. the e.u. in the united states just like when we allow israel to destroy gaza to impose a siege on the people of gaza to make ordinary women and children suffer. here again be allowed the israeli regime to do what it likes they support apartheid in palestine so basically it's just a contin

policy and israeli policy israel's really undermining u.s. national security every day it violates the rights of palestinians puts in place new settlements threatens iran it undermines our national security in that region the world so they find a way to back away from this total support for israel that really allows them to abuse the rights of palestinians and their neighbor was sticking with the region lots of focus on the middle east washington continues actually to slap more sanctions on iran will obama be able to talk iranians into opening up to the west. well you know every time iran struck i'd open up to the rest was the u.s. has ignored them so it's not clear what the u.s. really wants we talk about opening up the rest we talk about you know trying to come to some kind of supply relationship with iran but in reality we never take the olive branch that software has been offered many times during the bush and obama years and it's been rejected so it seems to me we want to have the united states really continue cigs hedging money in that

israelis will head to the polls tomorrow and we'll be keeping a close eye on how your life unfolds. how will change with to run develop will settlement expansion isolate can there be peace with gaza what's next in relations with america will netanyahu survive his snuff election on january twenty second. israel decides what arts are. now catching a train became a matter of life and death for one russian man who fell from his carriage and subzero temperatures in a siberian forest earlier it is time barred and told my colleague sean thomas the story. if we picture the scene we've got forty two year old valarie malkoff a lorry driver in this train clickety clack ing its way through the forests to me and more region in russia's far east at night they decide to go for a cigarette nothing special so he goes to the vestibule at the end of the carriage smokes his cigarette and then as he stays went to open the door to go back to his carriage except it was the wrong door and he falls out the back of the train so he rapidly realizes that he is not just running to catch up with the train but fo

what we understand from syria from syria and sources is that the israelis hit a research center not far from the capital city of damascus and that at least two unsigned workers were killed there are also reports that the strike hit a convoy of weapons that was making its way from syria to lebanon now washington reportedly was warned by israel obvious intention to strike inside syria this kind of comment coming from a high ranking american official who has spoken on condition that he not be named it is important to mention that a couple of months ago iran's revolutionary guard did say that assad had friends in the region who had not yet entered the fray the quote was that these planes were poised to strike out in case there was an intervention in syria earlier this month israel deployed its i am during defense in the south the system to its border with syria nectars of a growing concern that they could be some kind of use of chemical weapons as i mentioned earlier we have no comment yet from tel aviv there also has been no comment from washington moscow has said if indeed these repor

israelis it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be involved directly they could. support countries or bodies that could could make life for israelis more difficult so there are many ways means in which the iranians can support the syrian people the syrian government and its her more aggression against the syrian state and the syrian people and syrian sovereignty. if the airstrike really took place what was its purpose and did it have anything to do with iran. well at this stage it's very difficult to say but i think what is important is that the united states knew about their strike before hand they did nothing about it the european union as usual so is silent about it there is no condemnation for killing syrians two for bombing the country for damaging the country's infrastructure. believe in the united states just like when they allow israel to destroy gaza to impose a siege on the people of gaza to make ordinary women and children suffer. here again be allowed the israeli regime to do what it likes they support apartheid in palestine so basically it's just a co
