ElBaradei says Israel would be "totally crazy" to launch military strikes against Iran. He does not think an Israeli attack on Iran is imminent. http://news.linktv.org/videos/iran-and-the-bomb?start=0 The West says Iran is making a nuclear bomb. Tehran says it's treating cancer. This compelling investigation gets right to the heart of the maelstrom, interrogating facts, falsehoods and shocking allegations. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:07:00 -0800 http://news.linktv.org/videos/iran-and-the-bomb Nuclear program of Iran, Iran, International Atomic Energy Agency, Natanz, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Israel, Nuclear proliferation, Iran-Israel relations, Sanctions against Iran, Nuclear weapon The West says Iran is making a nuclear bomb. Tehran says it's treating cancer. This compelling investigation gets right to the heart of the maelstrom, interrogating facts, falsehoods and shocking allegations. "We have one million patients struggling with cancer and they need regular isotopes", argues Iran's ambassador for the IAEA, Dr Ali Soltanieh. Experts are quick to dismiss this reasoning, saying Iran's reactor at Natanz is, "too big, too far from hospitals and too secretive". Yet in this report the former director of the IAEA, Robert Kelley, admits that the famously leaked 2009 IAEA document, supposedly offering proof of Iran's nuclear ambitions, is likely to be a forgery. Whatever the truth, Israel is growing increasingly twitchy. "Israel must reserve the right to defend itself", Netanyahu has publicly announced. But is his rhetoric leading towards military confrontation? "Once you make those kind of threats, you come to the point where you've got to show you're serious". Yet Ronen Bergen, an expert on the Israeli secret service, insists that if it had been up to Israel, Iran would have had an atom bomb years ago. He describes how during the 1970s Israel actively encouraged Iran to move towards nuclear armament. "Israel was knowingly helping Iran to build the vehicle for a nuclear bomb". Despite current international pressure, Iran isn't shying away from fighting talk. The suggestion of heavy interference in their nuclear plans is met with a chilling riposte: "We will teach them a lesson they will never forget in history". http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-012712?start=485 BBC Arabic reports that clashes erupted in Tahrir Square, which was full of protestors for the "Second Friday of Rage." This Friday's demands are different from last year's because of the disputes between the political movements participating in the protests.

ElBaradei called on Egypt's People's Assembly to immediately elect a provisional president before forming a committee to draft the constitution. In addition, the Nobel Peace Price laureate requested that the new constitution define the political system and guarantee a civil state, human rights, and freedom. Our correspondent in Cairo reported that clashes erupted in Tahrir Square, which is currently packed with protestors taking part in the "Second Friday of Rage." Egypt TV aired images of a large number people fighting with sticks; the reason for these clashes has not yet been verified. Reporter, Female #1 Hundreds of protestors began flowing to Tahrir Square in central Cairo early this morning. Thousands joined them in marches that took off from the capital's major mosques after Friday prayers. The protestors chose to name today "the Friday of Pride and Dignity" and "the Second Friday of Rage," in remembrance of last year's "Friday of Rage." Last year, security forces attacked protestors in Tahrir Square causing dozens of deaths, which gave momentum to the subsequent wave of protests against Mubarak. Guest, Male #2 Has the regime indeed left? Has Mubarak's regime indeed left? Reporter, Female #1 However, this Friday's demands are different from last year's because of the disputes between the political movements participating in the protests. The Muslim Brotherhood considered the occasion a celebration, calling for social justice and demanding retribution for those who killed revolutionaries. Meanwhile, other revolutionary parties, most notably the April 6 Youth Movement, believe the revolution is not complete and demand that the Military Council immediately transfer power to civilians. Guest, Male #4 Our demand today is to complete the revolution. We peacefully call for transferring power to civilians. We want to restore security to the country and we would like to mobilize the country's political parties, social, and economic movements so the country can stand on its own. Reporter, Female #1 The division among various political parties seems obvious in regards to the rally that began two days ago to commemorate the revolution. While the April 6 Youth Movement announced it would remain in the square until authority is transferred to civilians, the Muslim Brotherhood was eager to affirm that the purpose of its participation was to protect the square. The Military Council vowed to transfer power after the presidential elections scheduled to take place this coming April.

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-120511 Protest, Syrian Civil War, Syria, Israel, Damascus, Bashar al-Assad, Yemen Uprising, Taiz, Homs, Benjamin Netanyahu Presenter, Female #1 In Egypt, polling centers opened for the first round of run-offs in the parliamentary elections, which will last for two days. One hundred and four candidates are competing in this round. While the Islamist movements are trying to consolidate their seats in the run-off elections, liberals are vying to stay in the political arena. Reporter, Male #1 The turnout of Egyptian voters in the first phase of the runoff vote in parliamentary elections is generally low compared to that of last week. The Administrative Court annulled the first round of results in a number of constituencies. However, voting is still underway in these constituencies as the High Election Commission did not ratify the judicial rulings. Guest, Male #2 (Advisor Abdel Moez Ibrahim, Head of Election Commission) The commission referred these complaints to the appropriate authorities so the administrative bodies can eliminate violations by the judicial institutions and conduct necessary investigations. Because naturally, the commission's job is to administer the elections. I'm not going to send people to investigate. The one to conduct investigations should be an investigation body. Reporter, Male #1 This round will decide who will fill 52 individual seats. There are 104 candidates in 27 constituencies competing for the seats. Only four candidates won in the first round: two from the Freedom and Justice Party and two independents. In the first round of runoffs in the parliamentary elections, political parties and movements are trying to consolidate their seats. The Freedom and Justice Party, the political branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, wants to strengthen its advantage over Salafists. Meanwhile, liberal parties are struggling to stand their ground in the political arena, which was restructured after the downfall of former President Hosni Mubarak's regime. It is widely expected that the Freedom and Justice Party will gain the largest number of seats in the first parliament elected democratically in Egypt in six decades. This will strengthen its grip in the power struggle in the most populated Arab country. Yasser al-Bardisi, BBC. Presenter, Female #1 Potential Egyptian presidential candidate, Mohamed ElBaradei, expressed concern over the rise of hard-line religious ideologies that he described as extremist, such as banning women from driving. In a televised statement, ElBaradei did not exclude the possibility that the youth of revolution will return with greater force if they feel their aspirations were tossed in the wind. Guest, Male #3 (Mohamed Elbaradei, Potential Presidential Candidate) If all these millions of youth who descended to the streets hoping for freedom and dignity, if all they see now is political games and they don't see the freedom that they aspired for, if instead they see killing, gunfire and pressure, or they believe that they are losing their jobs, then they will not remain patient for long. I see anger burning in their eyes. I saw hope, self-confidence, and self-respect in January and February. But what I see now is anger and oppression. I hope that the so-called political elites and parties will receive the message and understand it with good awareness, that if these young people do not see the situation changing, and if it seems to them that the revolution has been aborted, then they will become extremely angry. If there is a new wave of rebellion, I believe it will be very brutal.
