[00:16.000 --> 00:19.000] Every year, and you are doing well. [00:19.000 --> 00:31.000] In 2011, the year of big surprises and transformations has passed. [00:31.000 --> 00:37.000] The year of 2012 was marked by historical events in the past year. [00:37.000 --> 00:43.000] It is not too much to say that the view of the world in the Arab world in the new year is unprecedented. [00:43.000 --> 00:49.000] Lebanon has stopped resisting the region and is drowning in its internal crises. [00:49.000 --> 00:56.000] Syria, which did not expect the end of the Arab revolutions, has been drowning for 10 months in bloody protests. [00:56.000 --> 01:00.000] Its revolutionaries have welcomed the new year with demonstrations. [01:00.000 --> 01:05.000] Iran presents its military readiness for any possible war in 2012. [01:05.000 --> 01:11.000] The Gulf countries are responding by strengthening their defenses with the purchase of advanced American weapons. [01:11.000 --> 01:23.000] But Lebanon, despite what is going on around it, despite the security and economic crises that threaten it, remains a place of hope, a breath of freedom, and a stage for major celebrations. [01:23.000 --> 01:32.000] The Lebanese welcome their new year in the middle of the capital, Beirut, and in different cities with hope and joy. [01:32.000 --> 01:52.000] The sky of the capital, Beirut, lit up with fireworks in the middle of the night, and the streets and squares were filled with tourists and visitors, children, women, youth, and elders who took the start of the new year with hope and joy from the center of the capital, Beirut. [01:52.000 --> 01:58.000] In the world, the new year was welcomed with fireworks and applause. [01:58.000 --> 02:03.000] The residents of the Pacific Islands were the first to welcome the new year in 2012. [02:03.000 --> 02:11.000] Their village, New Zealand, lit up the sky of its capital with fireworks, which mixed with the atmosphere of excitement and singing. [02:11.000 --> 02:21.000] Three, two, one, Happy New Year! [02:26.000 --> 02:39.000] In Australia, at exactly half past midnight, the welcoming shouts of 2012, as is the custom of the Australians every year, were heard in front of the bridgehead of Sydney and the Opera House. [02:39.000 --> 02:45.000] The ground trembled to welcome the new year in a hot summer atmosphere. [02:49.000 --> 02:57.000] In Japan, the capital's ambassadors launched thousands of transparent balloons in the air at the moment of their arrival in the new year. [02:57.000 --> 03:01.000] Lights and laser games were added to the celebration. [03:01.000 --> 03:09.000] In Brazil, the welcoming of the new year was intense, as fireworks were launched on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, [03:09.000 --> 03:34.000] and millions of people gathered to celebrate the arrival of the new year. [03:34.000 --> 03:44.000] In London, fireworks were launched in the sky of the British capital, and a quarter of a million British gathered in the area of the River Thames, [03:44.000 --> 03:50.000] when the famous Big Bang was announced at the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012. [03:50.000 --> 03:59.000] In Paris, thousands gathered under the famous Eiffel Tower to bid farewell to 2011 and welcome the new year with fireworks. [03:59.000 --> 04:07.000] But the revolutions of the Arab world in 2011 and Lebanon between their spreading and their ongoing crises. [04:07.000 --> 04:09.000] A report by Jean Nakhoul. [04:09.000 --> 04:28.000] The course of the year in Lebanon differs from the whole world. [04:28.000 --> 04:33.000] In this small country, there are many accidents that the country is experiencing, [04:33.000 --> 04:39.000] and stopping at it is a necessary thing to take the lesson for those who want to consider. [04:39.000 --> 04:45.000] The beginning of the year was politically intense, as the government of President Saad Hariri resigned [04:45.000 --> 04:49.000] after the decision of the opposition ministers and the Minister of Finance, Mr. Hussein, [04:49.000 --> 04:55.000] appointed by the President of the Republic, to leave the government equation to move to Najib Miqati, [04:55.000 --> 05:01.000] in consultations that aroused questions after the reversal of the equations and the manipulation of the black box. [05:01.000 --> 05:05.000] The reaction of Hariri, who appeared in the street at the beginning, [05:05.000 --> 05:09.000] quickly moved to the opposition with the announcement of the 14th of June, [05:09.000 --> 05:13.000] waiting for the formation of the government that has been waiting for a long time, [05:13.000 --> 05:16.000] and which collided with the hour of the sand coming from Lahey, [05:16.000 --> 05:21.000] with the close of the outcome of the accusation decision and with the accidents that occurred in Syria. [05:21.000 --> 05:25.000] It is without a doubt that the most prominent event was the outcome of the accusation decision, [05:25.000 --> 05:29.000] which pointed the fingers of the accusation to elements of Hezbollah, [05:29.000 --> 05:33.000] and slowed down the start of the court sessions on the 22nd, [05:33.000 --> 05:38.000] despite the end of Hezbollah by the last rope that was connecting him to the court [05:38.000 --> 05:42.000] through the battles that he fought and his allies for the lack of funding. [05:42.000 --> 05:46.000] The tense Syrian situation did not stop the formation of the government, [05:46.000 --> 05:49.000] but it was translated on the ground as connected security incidents, [05:49.000 --> 05:52.000] from the Syrian invasion of the borders with Lebanon, [05:52.000 --> 05:55.000] and the firing of the Lebanese and the refugees from Syria, [05:55.000 --> 06:01.000] to the kidnapping of the seven Estonians, and the subsequent explosions that the UNIFIL was exposed to, [06:01.000 --> 06:04.000] which threatened the fate of the Security Forces in the South. [06:04.000 --> 06:09.000] A counter-insurgency situation added to it by a series of mobile crimes between the regions, [06:09.000 --> 06:12.000] the victims of which were a number of innocent people. [06:12.000 --> 06:18.000] It was their fault that they were living in a country that their government could not secure for them. [06:18.000 --> 06:23.000] So how did the wages, electricity, and oil drilling projects increase, [06:23.000 --> 06:27.000] all of which were the subject matter that was mentioned in the Cabinet of Ministers, [06:27.000 --> 06:33.000] the society over the few, the different over the many, and the divided over itself? [06:33.000 --> 06:37.000] One of the most prominent events of the year was the resignation of the Maronite patriarch, [06:37.000 --> 06:43.000] Marnasrallah Boutros-Esfair, and the election of al-Mitran Bashar al-Ra'i as patriarch in Antakya and the rest of the East. [06:43.000 --> 06:46.000] He knew how to make the world news from his year, [06:46.000 --> 06:50.000] after he launched a series of protests from Syria and Hezbollah, [06:50.000 --> 06:55.000] which was responsible for creating a wave of local and international reactions. [06:55.000 --> 06:59.000] And on top of the daily affairs that the Lebanese were busy with, [06:59.000 --> 07:02.000] from the attack on the land in Lesa and Tarshish, [07:02.000 --> 07:06.000] to the vote for the cave of J'aita to enter the wonders of the natural world, [07:06.000 --> 07:12.000] Lebanon had a heavy year on the occasion of the defense of the region and the end of the long war in it, [07:12.000 --> 07:19.000] waiting to be able to return to the course of natural life in an Arab world that is full of changes. [07:19.000 --> 07:23.000] Lebanon chose to separate itself from a part of it, [07:23.000 --> 07:26.000] and it is clear in the criticism of the other part, [07:26.000 --> 07:29.000] based on the fact that when the countries change, [07:29.000 --> 07:33.000] your position will be replaced by a political dictatorship. [07:40.000 --> 07:44.000] In the local news, we found tonight at the home of a member of the political library in the future, [07:44.000 --> 07:46.000] Mustafa Alouche in Tripoli, [07:46.000 --> 07:50.000] and Alouche is calling for the security forces to take action on her behalf. [07:50.000 --> 07:52.000] A group of women, [07:52.000 --> 07:57.000] made a complaint against me, [07:57.000 --> 07:59.000] in the middle of the night, [07:59.000 --> 08:03.000] with letters in the life of the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, [08:03.000 --> 08:05.000] and then she withdrew, [08:05.000 --> 08:07.000] promised a group of them, [08:07.000 --> 08:10.000] and set the fire in front of the house. [08:10.000 --> 08:12.000] I personally know one of them, [08:12.000 --> 08:15.000] he was a security guard in front of the house, [08:15.000 --> 08:17.000] and they may have known each other, [08:17.000 --> 08:21.000] and they may have indicated where they came from, [08:21.000 --> 08:23.000] but they came from a well-known place, [08:23.000 --> 08:27.000] and it is one of the close organizations of the Syrian regime. [08:27.000 --> 08:29.000] The Minister of the Interior, Marwan Charbel, [08:29.000 --> 08:31.000] carried out the security operations on the eve of the night of the year, [08:31.000 --> 08:33.000] to ensure the safety of the citizens, [08:33.000 --> 08:36.000] and renewed the confirmation that Lebanon is not a base, [08:36.000 --> 08:40.000] but it can be a passageway for the elements of the base. [08:40.000 --> 08:44.000] The tour that was carried out by the King of the Interior Force, [08:44.000 --> 08:46.000] for their performance in their security operations, [08:46.000 --> 08:48.000] to ensure the safety of the citizens, [08:48.000 --> 08:50.000] on the eve of the night of the year, [08:50.000 --> 08:53.000] was a occasion in which the Minister of the Interior, Marwan Charbel, [08:53.000 --> 08:56.000] revealed the presence of important information of the security services, [08:56.000 --> 08:58.000] about the attacks on the UNIFIL forces. [08:58.000 --> 09:01.000] There is information available now, [09:01.000 --> 09:05.000] and excellent information. [09:05.000 --> 09:08.000] God willing, we will reach, [09:08.000 --> 09:10.000] that these attacks on the UNIFIL, [09:10.000 --> 09:15.000] will lead to a very positive outcome, next year, God willing. [09:15.000 --> 09:17.000] Lebanon is a passageway, not a base, [09:17.000 --> 09:21.000] because they used to consider Lebanon a country of victory, [09:21.000 --> 09:24.000] and not a country of jihad, [09:24.000 --> 09:27.000] as you are all well-known for. [09:27.000 --> 09:32.000] But nothing prevents people from supporting them. [09:32.000 --> 09:34.000] Like all Lebanese parties, [09:34.000 --> 09:37.000] there are people who support any party they like, [09:37.000 --> 09:42.000] but without being a member of this party. [09:42.000 --> 09:47.000] We cannot say that we have a base, [09:47.000 --> 09:49.000] like the one that exists in Iraq, [09:49.000 --> 09:52.000] or in Yemen, or elsewhere. [09:52.000 --> 09:57.000] Lebanon, I will repeat what I said, [09:57.000 --> 09:59.000] and here I have confidence, [09:59.000 --> 10:01.000] if there is a supporting element to the base, [10:01.000 --> 10:04.000] or a base element, [10:04.000 --> 10:07.000] and a Lebanese identity, [10:07.000 --> 10:09.000] they will not use the explosives [10:09.000 --> 10:11.000] that they use outside Lebanon, [10:11.000 --> 10:13.000] because this is Lebanese in the end, [10:13.000 --> 10:14.000] and they feel Lebanese. [10:14.000 --> 10:17.000] Charbel took advantage of his stay in the Hilo housing estate, [10:17.000 --> 10:19.000] and what the General Director of the UNIFIL, [10:19.000 --> 10:21.000] Aliwa Ashraf Rifi, agreed to accompany him, [10:21.000 --> 10:23.000] to protect the UNIFIL forces, [10:23.000 --> 10:26.000] as he confirmed that the security situation in Lebanon is excellent, [10:26.000 --> 10:28.000] and not only in the southern part of the country, [10:28.000 --> 10:31.000] where the laws are implemented very easily, [10:31.000 --> 10:36.000] insisting that there is no place that is hostile to the security forces. [10:36.000 --> 10:39.000] After that, Charbel moved to Tahaqom Al-Muroori center, [10:39.000 --> 10:42.000] where he hoped that the Lebanese blockade [10:42.000 --> 10:43.000] that he is going through, [10:43.000 --> 10:45.000] because of the effects of the regional situation, [10:45.000 --> 10:46.000] would be suppressed, [10:46.000 --> 10:49.000] not to mention the importance of the principle of justice and logic [10:49.000 --> 10:50.000] in the political discourse. [10:50.000 --> 10:54.000] Then there was a checkpoint in the area of Al-Zalaa, [10:54.000 --> 10:58.000] three missing rounds of the civil defense gathering in Dubai. [10:58.000 --> 11:01.000] The checkpoint was in Al-Dhiyyeh housing estate, [11:01.000 --> 11:04.000] before Charbel went to his children in Sarayajouni, [11:04.000 --> 11:06.000] where he held a security meeting [11:06.000 --> 11:09.000] and looked at the security and administrative situation in the area. [11:09.000 --> 11:13.000] A explosion in a tourist complex in Al-Kasliq, [11:13.000 --> 11:14.000] Saturday morning, [11:14.000 --> 11:16.000] caused damage to the materials, [11:16.000 --> 11:20.000] and the security forces were watching out for the possibility of damage. [11:20.000 --> 11:23.000] In 2011, the head of the security and political events, [11:23.000 --> 11:25.000] on his last day of travel, [11:25.000 --> 11:30.000] was attacked by the security forces on the night of the year. [11:30.000 --> 11:32.000] This explosion occurred on Saturday morning [11:32.000 --> 11:35.000] in the Senses tourist complex in Al-Kasliq, [11:35.000 --> 11:38.000] which is owned by Waseem Zghaib. [11:38.000 --> 11:40.000] The employees had not yet arrived, [11:40.000 --> 11:42.000] but the material damage in the complex was followed, [11:42.000 --> 11:44.000] without any injuries, [11:44.000 --> 11:47.000] and the external surfaces were completely damaged, [11:47.000 --> 11:49.000] as well as the roof of the interior restaurant. [11:49.000 --> 11:50.000] What time do you arrive at work? [11:50.000 --> 11:51.000] I arrive at 9 o'clock. [11:51.000 --> 11:53.000] We came and we saw what happened. [11:53.000 --> 11:55.000] The security forces, [11:55.000 --> 11:56.000] the criminal evidence, [11:56.000 --> 11:57.000] and the military experts immediately [11:57.000 --> 11:59.000] carried out a comprehensive field scan [11:59.000 --> 12:03.000] to find out if the explosion was caused by a damage. [12:03.000 --> 12:04.000] An hour after the investigation, [12:04.000 --> 12:06.000] the security forces were removed from the scene [12:06.000 --> 12:07.000] after the explosion, [12:07.000 --> 12:09.000] and the military experts focused [12:09.000 --> 12:12.000] on the presence of bombs or bombs, [12:12.000 --> 12:14.000] and that the explosion was from the inside [12:14.000 --> 12:15.000] because of the gas leak. [12:15.000 --> 12:17.000] There is no damage. [12:17.000 --> 12:19.000] It is a matter of certainty [12:19.000 --> 12:21.000] as a result of the gas leak. [12:21.000 --> 12:23.000] It is a matter of certainty [12:23.000 --> 12:26.000] so that people do not have any fear or fear. [12:26.000 --> 12:28.000] It was noted that the security forces [12:28.000 --> 12:30.000] withdrew surveillance cameras [12:30.000 --> 12:32.000] that were outside and inside [12:32.000 --> 12:33.000] to analyze them, [12:33.000 --> 12:35.000] as part of the ongoing investigations [12:35.000 --> 12:37.000] with the owner of the complex and his partners. [12:37.000 --> 12:39.000] The General Security Office of the 14th Regime [12:39.000 --> 12:41.000] has confirmed that the course of the Arz revolution [12:41.000 --> 12:42.000] is continuing, [12:42.000 --> 12:44.000] and it is considered that the final fall [12:44.000 --> 12:46.000] of the Syrian regime is an advertisement [12:46.000 --> 12:49.000] that pays tribute to all the free people in Lebanon. [12:49.000 --> 12:51.000] In a positive reading of the changes [12:51.000 --> 12:53.000] resulting from the Arab Spring, [12:53.000 --> 12:55.000] the General Security Office of the 14th Regime [12:55.000 --> 12:57.000] has seen that the year 2012 [12:57.000 --> 12:59.000] will not be the same as its predecessors, [12:59.000 --> 13:01.000] considering that the final fall [13:01.000 --> 13:03.000] of the Syrian regime is an advertisement [13:03.000 --> 13:05.000] that pays tribute to all the free people [13:05.000 --> 13:07.000] and the independence fighters [13:07.000 --> 13:09.000] who launched the first evil [13:09.000 --> 13:11.000] of the revolution of freedom, [13:11.000 --> 13:13.000] dignity and civil society [13:13.000 --> 13:15.000] in the Arab world in Lebanon. [13:15.000 --> 13:16.000] In this context, [13:16.000 --> 13:18.000] the 14th Regime has confirmed [13:18.000 --> 13:20.000] that the course of the Arz revolution [13:20.000 --> 13:21.000] is continuing, [13:21.000 --> 13:23.000] and it is considered that the final fall [13:23.000 --> 13:25.000] of the Syrian regime is an advertisement [13:25.000 --> 13:27.000] that pays tribute to all the free people [13:27.000 --> 13:29.000] and the independence fighters [13:29.000 --> 13:31.000] who launched the first evil [13:31.000 --> 13:33.000] of the revolution of freedom, [13:33.000 --> 13:35.000] dignity and civil society [13:35.000 --> 13:37.000] in the Arab world in Lebanon.

[16:39.000 --> 17:03.000] The people want the downfall of the regime. [17:03.000 --> 17:05.000] Politics and personal interests [17:05.000 --> 17:07.000] in the region [17:07.000 --> 17:09.000] have been burning for a long time [17:09.000 --> 17:11.000] in the hearts of the people, [17:11.000 --> 17:13.000] and when one of them decided [17:13.000 --> 17:15.000] to disband it, [17:15.000 --> 17:17.000] his fire set the region on fire. [17:17.000 --> 17:19.000] It is the seller of the green [17:19.000 --> 17:21.000] Mohamed Bouazizi, [17:21.000 --> 17:23.000] who set his body on fire [17:23.000 --> 17:25.000] in an area whose fire has never been extinguished. [17:25.000 --> 17:27.000] On the 17th of January 2010, [17:27.000 --> 17:29.000] he set himself on fire [17:29.000 --> 17:31.000] in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, [17:31.000 --> 17:33.000] protesting the police. [17:33.000 --> 17:35.000] In the course of this history, [17:35.000 --> 17:37.000] the protests in Tunisia [17:37.000 --> 17:39.000] have not stopped [17:39.000 --> 17:41.000] against the unemployment [17:41.000 --> 17:43.000] and the high cost of living. [17:43.000 --> 17:45.000] 300 people were killed [17:45.000 --> 17:47.000] by the police [17:47.000 --> 17:49.000] before the end of the 33rd year [17:49.000 --> 17:51.000] of Zain al-Abidine Ben Ali [17:51.000 --> 17:53.000] who fled to Saudi Arabia. [17:55.000 --> 17:57.000] From Tunisia to Egypt, [17:57.000 --> 17:59.000] where the protests began [17:59.000 --> 18:01.000] on the 25th of February, [18:01.000 --> 18:03.000] the actions of Shaghab [18:03.000 --> 18:05.000] against the regime of President Mubarak [18:05.000 --> 18:07.000] began. [18:07.000 --> 18:09.000] About 850 people were killed [18:09.000 --> 18:11.000] in 810 days. [18:11.000 --> 18:13.000] On the 11th of February, [18:13.000 --> 18:15.000] President Mubarak handed over the power [18:15.000 --> 18:17.000] to the army [18:17.000 --> 18:19.000] before his trial began [18:19.000 --> 18:21.000] with the accusation of repression and corruption. [18:23.000 --> 18:25.000] Egypt began a period [18:25.000 --> 18:27.000] of legislative elections [18:27.000 --> 18:29.000] that is supposed to last for months. [18:29.000 --> 18:31.000] In mid-September, [18:31.000 --> 18:33.000] a revolution against the Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi [18:33.000 --> 18:35.000] began. [18:35.000 --> 18:37.000] He was oppressed by violence [18:37.000 --> 18:39.000] before it turned into a civil war. [18:41.000 --> 18:43.000] Washington, London, and Paris [18:43.000 --> 18:45.000] were attacked by the United Nations [18:45.000 --> 18:47.000] in a military campaign [18:47.000 --> 18:49.000] led by the North Atlantic Alliance. [18:49.000 --> 18:51.000] The rebels took over [18:51.000 --> 18:53.000] Tripoli in August [18:53.000 --> 18:55.000] and Al-Qaddafi was killed [18:55.000 --> 18:57.000] on the 20th of February [18:57.000 --> 18:59.000] on the 23rd of February. [18:59.000 --> 19:01.000] In Yemen, the situation is different. [19:01.000 --> 19:03.000] On the 27th of February, [19:03.000 --> 19:05.000] thousands of demonstrators [19:05.000 --> 19:07.000] in Sana'a demanded the resignation [19:07.000 --> 19:09.000] of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. [19:09.000 --> 19:11.000] The youth of the revolution, [19:11.000 --> 19:13.000] who were in the capital [19:13.000 --> 19:15.000] starting on the 21st of February, [19:15.000 --> 19:17.000] and on the 23rd of February, [19:17.000 --> 19:19.000] Saleh signed an agreement [19:19.000 --> 19:21.000] that the Middle East countries [19:21.000 --> 19:23.000] have agreed to in three months. [19:23.000 --> 19:25.000] When it came to the open conflict in Syria, [19:25.000 --> 19:27.000] 15 cities [19:27.000 --> 19:29.000] and a history that changed the country [19:29.000 --> 19:31.000] and entered a period of no return. [19:31.000 --> 19:33.000] An unprecedented protest movement [19:33.000 --> 19:35.000] began. [19:35.000 --> 19:37.000] It continued and was not defeated [19:37.000 --> 19:39.000] until Damascus refused the accusations [19:39.000 --> 19:41.000] and confirmed the fighting of terrorist groups [19:41.000 --> 19:43.000] from abroad. [19:43.000 --> 19:45.000] In the West, a Syrian National Council [19:45.000 --> 19:47.000] was born on the 21st of February [19:47.000 --> 19:49.000] and is part of most of the opposition movements. [19:49.000 --> 19:51.000] In short, [19:51.000 --> 19:53.000] 2011 is a year [19:53.000 --> 19:55.000] that witnessed major changes [19:55.000 --> 19:57.000] in the area of political [19:57.000 --> 19:59.000] and security. [20:01.000 --> 20:03.000] In Syria, there was an agreement [20:03.000 --> 20:05.000] between the National Council and the Coordination [20:05.000 --> 20:07.000] to unify the efforts against the regime. [20:07.000 --> 20:09.000] We have seen them [20:09.000 --> 20:11.000] with our own eyes. [20:11.000 --> 20:13.000] We ask the authorities [20:13.000 --> 20:15.000] to lift them when they do not [20:15.000 --> 20:17.000] respond in 24 hours. [20:17.000 --> 20:19.000] Otherwise, there will be other signs. [20:19.000 --> 20:21.000] He is a person who says [20:21.000 --> 20:23.000] that he belongs to the committee of observers [20:23.000 --> 20:25.000] in Daraa, in Jumu'at al-Zahf, [20:25.000 --> 20:27.000] to the areas of freedom. [20:27.000 --> 20:29.000] We came without you. [20:29.000 --> 20:31.000] At this time, the observers followed [20:31.000 --> 20:33.000] their weekly tour [20:33.000 --> 20:35.000] to count their reports [20:35.000 --> 20:37.000] and to lift the Arab League. [20:37.000 --> 20:39.000] A significant political development [20:39.000 --> 20:41.000] in the ranks of the opposition [20:41.000 --> 20:43.000] is related to an agreement announced [20:43.000 --> 20:45.000] by the Syrian National Coordination [20:45.000 --> 20:47.000] with the Syrian National Council, [20:47.000 --> 20:49.000] which confirmed from its side [20:49.000 --> 20:51.000] that the agreement is still in force. [20:51.000 --> 20:53.000] It has not been signed yet. [20:53.000 --> 20:55.000] The agreement is based on the rejection [20:55.000 --> 20:57.000] of any foreign military intervention. [20:57.000 --> 20:59.000] But it confirms that it does not consider [20:59.000 --> 21:01.000] Arab intervention as foreign. [21:01.000 --> 21:03.000] It considers the necessity of protecting [21:03.000 --> 21:05.000] civilians by all means. [21:05.000 --> 21:07.000] It also indicates that the transitional period [21:07.000 --> 21:09.000] begins with the fall of the existing regime. [21:11.000 --> 21:13.000] In return, [21:13.000 --> 21:15.000] the Syrian National Council [21:15.000 --> 21:17.000] entrusted the regime to the Arab observers [21:17.000 --> 21:19.000] asking them to save [21:19.000 --> 21:21.000] some terrorists, according to their expression. [21:23.000 --> 21:25.000] US President Barack Obama [21:25.000 --> 21:27.000] passed the Pentagon Financial Law [21:27.000 --> 21:29.000] to impose sanctions [21:29.000 --> 21:31.000] on the financial sector in Iran. [21:31.000 --> 21:33.000] The new sanctions that Obama [21:33.000 --> 21:35.000] imposed on the Islamic Republic [21:35.000 --> 21:37.000] have prompted the Iranian Central Bank [21:37.000 --> 21:39.000] to force Tehran to give up [21:39.000 --> 21:41.000] its nuclear program. [21:41.000 --> 21:43.000] The U.S. President also asked [21:43.000 --> 21:45.000] the U.S. President to freeze [21:45.000 --> 21:47.000] any foreign financial institutions [21:47.000 --> 21:49.000] that trade with the Iranian central bank [21:49.000 --> 21:51.000] in the oil sector. [21:51.000 --> 21:53.000] In Egypt, [21:53.000 --> 21:55.000] the province of Asyut [21:55.000 --> 21:57.000] witnessed sectarian confrontations [21:57.000 --> 21:59.000] after a Christian student [21:59.000 --> 22:01.000] posted a picture of the Prophet Muhammad [22:01.000 --> 22:03.000] on the Internet [22:03.000 --> 22:05.000] according to what a security official announced. [22:05.000 --> 22:07.000] The houses of a number of Christians [22:07.000 --> 22:09.000] and five policemen were burned [22:09.000 --> 22:11.000] during the clashes [22:11.000 --> 22:13.000] that extended to three cities. [22:13.000 --> 22:15.000] Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas [22:15.000 --> 22:17.000] considered that the new year 2012 [22:17.000 --> 22:19.000] should be the year of the Palestinian state [22:19.000 --> 22:21.000] again demanding that [22:21.000 --> 22:23.000] Palestine should stop [22:23.000 --> 22:25.000] because it is illegitimate. [22:25.000 --> 22:27.000] Abbas was speaking in front of [22:27.000 --> 22:29.000] the Palestinian President, [22:29.000 --> 22:31.000] who went to the left of the Arafat, [22:31.000 --> 22:33.000] during the celebration of the outbreak [22:33.000 --> 22:35.000] of the Palestinian armed revolution [22:35.000 --> 22:37.000] in the first of the second year in 1965. [22:37.000 --> 22:39.000] Abbas said that the obstacles [22:39.000 --> 22:41.000] are increasing every day [22:41.000 --> 22:43.000] in the shadow of an Israeli government [22:43.000 --> 22:45.000] that does not want peace. [22:45.000 --> 22:47.000] Therefore, we are patient [22:47.000 --> 22:49.000] and we will not give up our demands [22:49.000 --> 22:51.000] that there will be no state [22:51.000 --> 22:53.000] without East Jerusalem. [22:53.000 --> 22:55.000] Therefore, the Palestinian leadership [22:55.000 --> 22:57.000] decided to go to the International Security Council [22:57.000 --> 22:59.000] and invited the Arab Council [22:59.000 --> 23:01.000] to confront the Israeli occupation [23:01.000 --> 23:03.000] in East Jerusalem [23:03.000 --> 23:05.000] and the West Bank, [23:05.000 --> 23:07.000] as part of the political process [23:07.000 --> 23:09.000] and the solution of the two states. [23:09.000 --> 23:11.000] The decision was made [23:11.000 --> 23:13.000] after a meeting [23:13.000 --> 23:15.000] held by the executive committee [23:15.000 --> 23:17.000] of the Palestinian Liberation Organization [23:17.000 --> 23:19.000] with the presidency of President Abbas [23:19.000 --> 23:21.000] in the capital of his presidency in Ramallah. [23:21.000 --> 23:23.000] Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan [23:23.000 --> 23:25.000] announced on Saturday [23:25.000 --> 23:27.000] the emergency in the areas [23:27.000 --> 23:29.000] that witness violent acts [23:29.000 --> 23:31.000] attributed to the Islamic Boko Haram group [23:31.000 --> 23:33.000] and decided to close part of the borders. [23:33.000 --> 23:35.000] in the south-east of the country [23:35.000 --> 23:37.000] in confrontations between two groups [23:37.000 --> 23:39.000] of rural people [23:39.000 --> 23:41.000] due to a rural dispute between the tribes [23:41.000 --> 23:43.000] on what a spokesman announced [23:43.000 --> 23:45.000] in the name of the government. [23:45.000 --> 23:47.000] The Russian police arrested [23:47.000 --> 23:49.000] dozens of people on the eve of the year, [23:49.000 --> 23:51.000] including writer Edward Limonov [23:51.000 --> 23:53.000] during their attempt to participate [23:53.000 --> 23:55.000] in an unprecedented demonstration [23:55.000 --> 23:57.000] in Moscow and St. Petersburg [23:57.000 --> 23:59.000] to demand the death of [23:59.000 --> 24:01.000] Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. [24:01.000 --> 24:03.000] The gathering was held [24:03.000 --> 24:05.000] by the opposition and writer Limonov [24:05.000 --> 24:07.000] under the slogan of the new year [24:07.000 --> 24:09.000] without Putin.
