intended for his villa in lebanon if indeed today's strike is also confirmed by the israelis it will be israel's third strike inside syria since in late january back in january as well hit the same way house that is believed to be one of the targets of this morning's attack where hamas is in. on the northern approaches to damascus it's just fifteen kilometers from the lebanese border and it is the leaved to be a place or at least this is the israeli believe where weapons ah long range missiles are being stockpiled and again israelis believe that these are headed for his villa in lebanon it is a strategically military important position for the syrian president bashar assad not the syrian state television also says that this morning strikes were a response to recent military gains by assad's forces against rebels who have been trying to topple him for the better part of two years so to me the scale of this morning's the tech shows that it is beyond the military capability of just the syrian rebels and this is why you have observers pointing the finger at israel in terms of helping and

to hezbollah in lebanon a similar attack is said to have been carried out by israel earlier this year in january damascus has denied it's been trying to balance the weapons of the hezbollah. for the latest on this developing breaking news story. headlines from around the world coming up for you to the brink. here you can feel it. is. used to work. just. the come on number of an organisation and get inside the growing trade. you buy something will never forget. that. google. did it but i paid for what i've done i would never stop. this is the lie from moscow on rule research now the unemployment level in the european union hit record highs this week at the rate going up across most of the member states let's show you the numbers here are not see the ever rising figures alarming and rising year by year greece and spain the most affected in greece now twenty seven percent of the workforce is out of a job and in spain one in every four is unemployed or the increasing joblessness of many and poor working conditions for some triggered massive demonstrations around the world on may day and t

i want to take these arms from syria and position them within lebanon which is illegal because while i was in a state of war wheezy israel and while you may say that flying over a lebanese space is not exactly according to international law this is nick speaking of the real problem here is how to cap the. regional conflagration from by linger over and while there are many reasons on other aspects to be critical of israeli policy it does seem that this time around it is quite balanced and he's only trying to prevent and preempt further conflict so i'm sure you talk about the israeli airstrike being balanced you call the israeli airstrike balance we've got unconfirmed reports now of at least four hundred people killed during this overnight jet fighter weapon strike massive explosions of video footage there has been absolutely incredible you call this a balanced reaction to unconfirmed reports that the syrian officials are moving surface to air missiles to hezbollah which they are denying at the time you call it balanced. ok let let me clarify first of all the reason of course and regre

in order not to pay the bigger price of security and be have a which will be read by another lebanon war well let's get the latest update now on our breaking news story on this sunday morning here on artsy a u.s. military official has confirmed a second israeli air strike on syria in less than forty eight hours that back to early reports on syrian state television so far though no official confirmation from officials in tel aviv footage right here though unverified from damascus shows a massive explosion at the site of the strike which is said to have targeted a military research facility a syrian t.v. claim twelve missiles were fired by israel reports are coming in of many killed and injured although there's been no official announcement western intelligence sources reportedly say the target was a stockpile of syrian missiles intended for hezbollah in lebanon now this latest strike comes less than two days after the previous israeli bombing of syria anonymous israeli official said that a time for talking to the shipment of syrian missiles on its way to fall in lebanon a similar atta

forces do you think lebanon's hezbollah and indeed iran could they weigh in if indeed syria did go to war with israel. well that's the big question the husband alida cited hossa not so a lot i think made it clear and he even provides an answer to your question what he said in a speech last thursday he said that. that syria's real friends meaning hezbollah iran and also russia one allow syria to fall into the hands of the us israel all the tech petey's meaning of the al qaida affiliates now when did say the us and made these and make these statements after two meetings one with ayatollah khomeini into one on and the other one with the russian deputy foreign minister mr book done over here in beirut following those meetings and saying it has been issued those statements about syria's real friends not allowing it to fall into us is ready or i would call either hand so i think what you have now is that iran and hezbollah now have a new significant ally of real significant weight which is russia which is returning to the middle east seen once again so i think that if we do have an escalati

. >>> militia groups in lebanon are lining up against each other as the violence in syria spills over the border. >>> shoe factory in cambodia was the site of a deadly accident on thursday. the ceiling of the building fell in killing two workers and injuring at least six others. the factory is under contract supplied companies and other foreign brands. the incident follows the collapse of a factory in bangladesh last month which killed the garment workers. it occurred in the suburb of the cambodian capital. a representative of the trade union at the factory said the ceiling caved in around 7:00 a.m., causing panic among the workers. around 100 employees were at their posts at the time. this is funded by capital from taiwan and the company asics and other foreign brands. the local police are investigating whether this is connected to the accident. they contribute to the roast bust economic recovery of the company. the accident in bangladesh on april 24th sent shock waves through cambodia. foreign companies have been setting up factories in bont countries for cheap and abundant labor. c

they get a pass in lebanon right now and it's just fascinating. iraq obviously is in a different situation because it is a majority population that iran has worked hard to cultivate and help overcome some of the wounds of the iraq war. for a country that claimed to be the defender of the resistance and the popular will and of the popular muslim whatever whatever, the green movement took the toll. again iran gets a pass in lebanon and iraq and interestingly in yemen which has a large population and iran has been heavily involved in the country and it gets a pass in the revolutionary algeria and libya but in all of the other countries it gets decidedly negative ratings. their role in what ray nagin, lebanon not a word of criticism, iraq very little criticism and every other country got . turkey's favorable rating is again the sectarian issue look at the numbers coming from 2002 to where they are today. in 2011 labor at the peak. but look at 2012 you have the sectarian divide what you have is the issue of the population turning against turkey and the

you do is across the border and what israel is trying to prevent is another lebanon war this is perhaps a minor price to pay. in order not to pay the bigger price of the killing and we have a which will be wreaked by another lebanon war israel has no reasonable threat to react to and is instead misusing its hidden motives in the syrian conflict that is the viewpoint of beirut based journalist and middle east expert on the risk. has there been any escalation against israel for israel to react has there been any military action has israel being been attacked by any side whether it be hostile law whether it be syria whether it be housed israel in the been attacked by any side whatsoever israel has not been attacked so we hear this talk about you know game changing weapons but all of this you know doesn't doesn't give you a ride to war doesn't give the justification. for such escalation i think you have to put all the pieces of the puzzle together remember that the all of the fuel of the have a chemical weapons who was the one which made this first announcement it was bruno the military int

who do use across the border and what is really strong to prevent another lebanon war this is perhaps a minor price to pay. in order not to pay the bigger price of the killing and we have a which will be wreaked by another lebanon war. now we are able to bring in our middle east correspondent policy who's in tel aviv with the latest from the israeli side hello that poll it's a tell us more about this new development the first official syrian reaction since the bombing. well we're just hearing reports right now that the syrian deputy foreign minister files that are dug has called this morning's attack on a syrian military research facility to quote him a dick liberation of ruled by israel not to be a tech represented an alliance between islamic terrorists and israel he also says that syria will retaliate against israel in its own time and way now this is extremely important this is the first time we're hearing confirmation from the syrian government that this was an attack carried out by israel and that it is choosing to respond it has regional and international implications because sy

they are close to lebanon. hezbollah has repeatedly said they would be willing to attack as far as tel aviv. so the israelis have to be vigilant and they have to be concerned. we will continue to coordinate with israel. >> reporter: israel's military strikes have silent support from many arab countries who have been arming the anti-assad rebellion but they are helping assad hold on to power. according to officials the administration is moving to arming rebel factions themselves, factions vetted by the cia for links to radical islam cysts, this complicates secretary of state kerry's trip to moscow this week as he tries to get him to stop propping up assad. >>> we turn to the war the u.s. is trying to exit after almost 12 years, afghanistan. one of the single deadliest days in recent months for american troops. we have a report from kabul with the latest. >> reporter: good evening, lester. the violence here is escalating as the taliban taliban spring offensive gets underway. on saturday, eight nato service member

in order not to pay the bigger price of the killing and we have a which will be read by another lebanon war a senior u.s. official confirms that israeli jets carried out the bombings washington has been considering arming the syrian rebels and the british foreign secretary joined those calls by saying anonymous embargo should be lifted as the conflict appears to be spreading so while there are renewed calls for more support for the syrian rebels that by israel received no condemnation from the west despite violating international law article two of the united nations charter perhaps the use of force against the territorial integrity of any state by all of its members then going syrian conflict should take could take yet another turn after hezbollah warned their militia is ready to take president assad's side in the ongoing conflict aussie's marina portnoy has all the details. u.s. president barack obama wouldn't specifically comment on the reported israeli airstrikes into damascus instead saying that israel is justified in protecting itself from dance to weapon shipments to the lebanon

considered i'm peter lavelle engulfing the neighborhood syria's civil war has spread across the border into lebanon hezbollah defiantly promises victory over sides enemies indeed it would appear hezbollah interim intend to steadfastly stand by their ally in damascus the taking of sides is all but complete and the stakes for the entire middle east could be higher. to cross out the war in syria i'm joined by dan arbella in washington he's a guest scholar at the center for middle east policy in the brookings institution and a former israeli diplomat also in washington we have martin all. he's a professor of philosophy and religion at the american university and in beirut we cross to franklin lamb he is director of americans concerned for middle east peace all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want franklin here in beirut if i go to you first the head of hezbollah says the syrian war is our battle pledging a completely new phase what does he mean by it and what are the implications. well what he means by it is that hizbollah is in it to won it and they int

as a matter of fact the situation right now in lebanon it's. the syrian civil war already spilled out into lebanon and this is very clear when we look towards what's happening and tripoli. pro fighters are militants fighting against. militants and it's a kind of small syrian war going on in tripoli and so this this is one the politics you know all. confrontations right now in lebanon you know today the mini's parliament is about to agree on extending the term of the parliament deliver his government isn't able to organize the elections that was. expected just on the thirteenth of june just weeks from now so this really i'm sorry to lebanon. we're about to lose a lot and you actually. had to go black from a beirut this we're going to interrupt thanks ever so much for being on the program we'll try to get but you for more for the chat bit later in the journalist in beirut. if you stay with us more news continues after the break snow coming up to eighteen minutes past eight muska time. they played a family jazz band together. hijacked a plane toge

what's going on in lebanon? >> lebanon has remarkably stayed away from the syrian conflict in terms of seeing, you know, a renewal of civil war or sunni fighting but there are plaerups of violence all over. there's been pillover violence in the northern border of lebanon. the government's been very unstable. the prime minister just recently resigned and they named a new one. so syria has had a profound impact on lebanon. >> rose: you can say that again. (laughs) >> the worst is still to come. the economy is devastated because there's not -- it's not coming. a lot of refugees -- >> rose: syria's becoming lebanon? >> lebanon -- the roles are reversed. syria always used to host the lebanese refugees escaping from war, now it's the reverse. >> rose: now let me move to egypt. we now have the president appointing more islamists. anything surprise you about what's going noncairo? >> i think a lot of people are surprised because during the era of mubarak people looked at the muslim brotherhood as opposition real opposit

syria deployed missiles in the become a valley and lord of lebanon on menachem begin bombed the missile sites so he it is there that was hoping that i did used cd and we all could still help if i make it on function but in syria you have a sixty in conflict at asian and conflict and i don't but i verily a turkish i don't drive really different forms of content for guys or. any sayyid. sure any cannot find any inside home they can secure their loyalty so all right gentlemen i have to jump in here we're going to get it with short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on syrian state with our. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p.

the situation on the ground there is very tense very fluid in the northern lebanon you have fighting happening. in the streets. and there is not a clear sense of how this will break down internally and i'm not sure that the. movement of has a lot to refashion itself as a defender of arab nationalism is going to go over well it has always been only. projected itself as a defender against israeli might and it has failed to transform itself into an effective governing force and so now this move to become some kind of regional power is. rational measure like i got to do. that franklin you got to disagree without if i can first of all they have a problem itself to be a very effective governing power but what they did in two thousand and six rebuilt two hundred fifty two homes they are planting flowers trees all over there are no other good and frankly they're not the government for example is the government levanon there's a lot of very good over the going on but he's talking about there one of the parties you know the money they are going to really concentrate they're not and they're rol

i don't know what lebanon can withstand, but jordan, lebanon, turkey, iraq, and the kurdish population, which i think is complex in the region, you have to potentially expanding this across 78 other borders. that's a point of leverage for bashar al assad. his thread to the region is there. you see the europeans removing their arms embargo, the russians saying we'll throw in the defense systems, maybe all of this and the fear of this will lead it to a peace conference, there is an argument to be made that each side begins looking into the abyss, and that might be the condition that leads them to peace. i would doubt action like most other observers that could be it. >> speaking of proxy wars, once you have hezbollah and iran so involved, inevitably, especially with lebanon now as a new battle front, if you will or potential battle front, you have israel involved. >> absolutelivities now that israel is trying to prevent that from happening, you know israel will not wait very long. >> israel -- to israel's benefit, i think it's demonstrated a lot of restrain. >> so far. >> and i suspect t

in its right place has been as one of the factions operating in lebanon of course we've grown to this reality of a state within a state which has been is running undermining lebanese government efforts constantly trying to to. to rule by fear or to to effect by fear by by force by by torture we know their methods so first of all let's put aside i think that we have to focus on the big picture and the big picture is the fact that the assad regime is at its. at its moment of truth and is facing serious challenge and the international community should step in tag am pretty sure my kids aren't here on the day you know. this to to go on we know standing because i think in the end in assad's end for two years now ok two years. fund well you know he's managed to survive but so far you know the international community is galvanizing efforts and it seems like right now it is a moment of truth in which the european union union funny lifted its arms embargo on the opposition we have senator senator john mccain visiting syria over the weekend meeting with opposition forces and we're seeing an ali
