the islamist led opposition in kuwait is boycotting saturday's a parliamentary ballot in a bitter standoff for the country's unelected leaders u.s. backed monica is accused of amending the voting rules to influence the outcome of the poll. is in the gulf state with more. uncertainty is one way to describe the mood here in way today as the highly controversial parliamentary elections kick off now the opposition has refused to back down from a boycott of the voting in protest of what it sees as towards authoritarianism opposition activists say that this is an attempt to produce a more compliant parliament that will allow the government to pass laws without appropriate oversight from the legislature thousands a few leaders have taken to the streets in a largely peaceful protest march to express their frustration with a. version of the cold war there's also concerns about a potential clampdown on dissent as many activists who have spoken out both against

the emir and the political situation here have been jailed now we got a chance to speak to some of the protesters and here's a look at what they have to say i have a problem is that the government doesn't need neither the constitution nor democracy and they always start to talk about dialogue whenever they need a temporary alternative but in practice they are defying democracy the main problem is that since one thousand nine hundred seventy six the development of kuwait has stopped because the government started thinking of how to change the constitution and get rid of it the growth of the country has stopped and the government is unable to change the constitution or to continue with the development process as a result the situation has got to where it is now the opposition hope that maybe we should result in a lower voter turnout which could in theory radically undermine the actual outcome of the elections and potentially face and the dissolution of the most recent parliament we also spoke to opposition activists to say that they are going to be

a constitutional crisis here people in the basij when they had their revolution nearly two years ago to overthrow hosni mubarak last week after this declaration of how much more see the current president backed by the muslim brotherhood said that the reason for that was to try and get a new constitution last in a process that dragged out for a long time for egypt's however the constituent assembly that drafted that is dominated by the muslim brotherhood many other representatives of more liberal representatives coptic christians and other groups that have withdrawn from that assembly in protest so there is the fear that that new constitution which has just recently been drafted is too islamist as is to religiously conservative doesn't make enough provisions to protect minorities here in egypt from society mohamed morsi for his part ses he wants compromise he wants to protect the revolution and today it is the chance of his supporters he is supported by large sections of the

egyptian population and he did win the presidential election these protests will continue here in tahrir square as well and we have this shows that the constitutional crisis and the battle to try and get egypt's revolution on the right track on a track that egyptians can agree on is far from over. well kyra based political social a just. suggestions know better than to trust leaders who assume so-called temporary sweeping powers. nor any of that good big hitter in the world to help global celine in they will tell you all it is at the imposing it is full emergency pull does the serious same thing sixty years of war under president obama and we stayed under emergency rule for seventeen years and it was all the syria excuse it was then bowing it was a short period egyptian people in two thousand and twelve are not the egyptian

people in two thousand and then they have changed there is a political culture that has changed in a lodging different stuff like social networks and saw you cannot lie to them and they do not trust this who also they find that the muslim brotherhood is it looks to be a part of a grand sucky by the united states and if it succeeds in egypt it would succeed and all the upswing going to this and the americans would be able to establish an islamic a quarrel an american teams in the area the police in the whole of the horses who have theory of america in many ways there was new horses that would oppose the people inside but serve american strategic interests in the area from outside. washington has hit out at israel for authorizing three thousand new settler homes in the west bank and east jerusalem israel's move came a day at the u.n. general assembly upgraded palestine to being a known bruiser of the u.s. call the construction decision counterproductive to east negotiator on

a two state solution justinian say the lands in the west bank in east jerusalem which were occupied by israel in one nine hundred sixty s. must be returned to them but since then the number of israelis living there has risen to half a million for the palestinians. before any peace talks begin human rights are. both sides apart. if you're serious about a two state solution and if we're serious about moving towards. there's no way that this fervor settlement expansion can be seen in any way a move towards getting back on the table and moving towards the peace talks that both sides desperately need in the latest upsurge in violence in gaza we've seen documented. indiscriminate attacks they fail to distinguish between combatant and civilian in the same way that hamas rocket attacks very clearly are

aimed at civilians which is a violation of international humanitarian law in the sense that target civilian. indiscriminate nature of the further away from the state solution perhaps you've ever been before but only by building on the international consensus that we've got the israel and even the united states are further away from can we hope to move towards a long lasting peace. coming out the future of america's high tech hub is in jeopardy if you minutes why silicon valley is shutting out the innovators hope to create its original refuge. also provided with peace as a former nobel winners say given the coveted prize given it's not what the found out. mind these stories in detail and more just ahead.

welcome back more international stories for you now the e.u. doesn't deserve its nobel peace prize that's according to several former winners issued an open letter to the foundation demanding the twenty seven nation bloc be stripped of the award on the surf earth explains. in that letter they said that the

twenty seven nation blocks getting this award contradicts the valley's safety with the prize it was a once already happening is one point seeing million dollar prize money not be awarded this year and they also said that the clearly not one of the champions of peace a consensus here amongst the segment even indeed among many many people when this award was announced it was really the awarding of the prize not in the keeping of the spirit of the nobel peace prize the prize was awarded at a time when the e.u. is they think the biggest crisis it's they since its creation we're seeing huge seychelle of rest and you know what a lot of people are saying is that the european union at the moment really for a lot of people. come to represent divisions within society we see those divisions between the rich and the plough poor between those who employ it those who run

employed you know the people that we've spoken to in these countries really feel very very let down the vision of the european union was about peace and democracy and that's certainly not what people feel that they're getting now the committee praised the for voting after the second world war and spreading stability to former communist countries promoting peace and stability within the e.u. you know it's not all bad the does provide heat amount in a day nation but i think i will be seeing happening in the e.u. in the last year really has been very far from the idea of you know a peaceful new year two thousand and nine we saw were awarded to see president obama many people feeling that was being awarded the peace activities we might get some point in the future i guess very much not in keeping with the will we are to have actually got some reaction from there into this latest piece of information about it being contested we had an m.e.p. jared back and say it's highly devious with the. rules under which you wanted to

give it i mean really very long we have. thank you for being the right thing i want to be as if that makes it a project that many people feel represents the total opposite. point on dot com right now major media embarrassment the world's oldest news agency publishes a scientifically correct diagram i suppose proof of iran's nuclear ambitions. also online today survival manual predicted doomsday if some russian entrepreneur wasting any time on the end. of the column one hundred seventy boxes containing top secret files about britain's former colonial. missing. during two days of pretrial hearings for the american private accused of leaking classified data to wiki leaks have talked of his mistreatment and suicidal thoughts

bradley manning has already spent the best part of two years in detention for revealing killings the u.s. military didn't want exposed when anniversary of the cable gate landed him behind bars but he often asks whether people really want to know what the governments are up to. it's been two years since wiki leaks released what's now known as cable gate the world's largest leak of classified u.s. material so has it changed the world much this week let's talk about that i'm kind of a thought what i don't know doesn't hurt me so if your government is killing innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know they're innocent if you run a government and you live or you run a business this is a a business and you lead everyone from your employees to the person who's the

janitor to know everything about your business something's going to come back and haunt you and so maybe you shouldn't do anything that would haunt you. that. you have a good point knowledge is power right so we found out some information so that's a positive thing but i don't know if it's changed anything you don't think it's changed the way the government might act. i think if they broke through some sort of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there's money power involved i don't think anything's going to change the information has to give good with burke in the fourteenth century. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protest that the government is using the internet to spy on us. well i want to

spy on each other just look at today just that ability to go syria just closing the internet so is the government the i think every government especially the what america is the world is ultimately going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks has changed the world the bottom line is governments might now feel like they have their own big brother watching and hopefully that's a good thing. so they can rally has long been the world's leading hub for high tech business reputation largely down to an influx of foreign entrepreneurs but this global symbol of enterprise could soon mean danger of us crying out who are locked in to welcome you talent from abroad what is within the question of the story puts the silicon valley fun. lots of sharing helping each other even competitors will help each other some of the biggest brands on the planet and the instantaneous so she chats with america and surprisingly the majority were created

want to succeed they're driven the valley's biggest rice came with the boom of immigrants in the ninety's that brought innovations in software and internet services the numbers speak for themselves just over half of the companies found it in silicon valley from ninety's to the mid to thousands had founders born abroad believe us research says there is a case to one for him born inventor behind three quarters after a new patient and like her many others getting impatient for a start up is what brought julia to palo alto her project is called smart wall and works as a messaging tool for those who want to avoid social networks most of the people that are that i see are foreigners and also there are a lot of americans that are not from here so they're also coming it's it's not a matter of nationality here it's a matter of the real skills that you have but there are some clouds on the

california sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness these are hurdles the end. knowing economic recession has broad deep fears at home about much needed jobs going into hands that have come from abroad making it hard for many to understand that foreigners can actually bring benefits to times when america so desperately needs them but i think that's something that white america doesn't get they did understand why. because they don't because i think that a lot of the fears are still oh they're taking our jobs away america prides itself on being a melting pot the country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy may put an end to all that i do not question artsy. well some of the international stories now are beginning with some disturbing images from syria footage is to show rebels allegedly executing unarmed or this person is seen playing for their lives before being shot by gunmen in reference to conquer linked
