[ad] Bulletin of evening from Al - Arabiya , it is Maisoun Azzam , greetings our viewers.
The Free Army progresses in the countryside of Hama and Al -yarmouk refugee camp, and preparations are underway by the
regime for a counterattack what forced the population of Al -yarmouk to leave
to step down to save his people. Large headlines that don't carry a lot of details.
The meeting of the Joint Envoy with Secretary General of the Arab league in Cairo was announced. However, meeting
Brahimi and Al - Arabi comes amid the increasing initiatives and talks about compromises to the Syrian crisis. The end
what was issued by the Syrian Vice President Farouk
Al - Shara ', and the Turkish initiative preceded by the
Iranian.
The meeting comes after Brahimi hold a tripartite meeting
last week in Geneva with the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
and his American counterpart
as well as other meetings with European officials that discussed the Syrian crisis. All this comes in the light of a
talk that hasn't been confirmed yet even if it was issued by the Deputy Secretary-General
of the Arab League , Ahmed Ben Helli , on an initiative by
Ibrahimi under the title Geneva two and includes his visit
to Damascus soon
to be presented to President Bashar Al - Assad , which basic
articles were drawn up during the triple Russian American
meeting
including the steps of the transitional phase in Syria . On another hand, there are ongoing counter statements
Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran Amir Abdullah Hayan , who is on a visit to Russia , questioned that the Syrian regime will
collapse soon , saying that the army and the state institutions are working smoothly
It is imagination to believe that the Syrian opposition will
be able to overthrow the regime and ascent to power. This
can not happen
On the other hand,
Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic cooperation Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said that the Syrian regime has almost
collapsed and he demanded Assad to leave. Amid these positions, Russia sent a new fleet
including warships to the Mediterranean on their way to the Syrian coast, in a step aimed at, according to Russia ,
evacuating its nationals if necessary. Zein al- Fayez , al- Arabiya
For more detail,
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu , the Secretary General of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation, joins us on the phone
from Jeddah
Welcome Mr. Ekmeleddin . First of all, on what have you based
your statements and expectations that the Syrian crisis has
begun to end?
I think after all what we see
in the field updates and reports sent from Syria and the
wars that are ongoing on the outskirts of Damascus and
Aleppo and everywhere
the developments which are no secret at all. All of this confirms that the Syrian crisis entered a very sensitive stage
in a crucial development and at a moment when there is a crisis in any nation
killing thousands of people and displacing millions of
people, there must be a pause of conscience, and leaders
must inevitably
take control. They are unanswerable before themselves, before God, before history and before themselves. This is a
moment of sacrifice and here I call on leaders
to sacrifice for the sake of their people./ Mr. Akmal how is
that?/ and not vice versa.
Mr.
Akmal Eddine how do you think this sacrifice could be done?
Do you believe that the departure of Assad is the main
problem and could be the solution at the end
especially that the opposition says there is no way to have any settlement with Assad now
The most important point now
is the international discussions conducted by Mr . Brahimi to reach ceasefire and shift to political discussion
The political discussion must begin as soon as the shootings, the combat operations, the bombing against civilians, and
the use of aircraft against civilians ends. Now the battles have entered
in Syria into a new stage whereas the Palestinians refugees
have also taken their share of killing and displacement. It
seems that it was not enough that they are killed by Israel ;
the Palestinians are now killed in Syria also, the Arab
country they chose as a refugee.
What is important now is to have this initiative started, to
ceasefire, and then the political solution can start
afterwards.
Well, Mr.
Akmal , with all due respect to your words, and these initiatives, but they are not new. Many initiatives were announced
and were also based on cease-fire, but they were not implemented. Do you now
feel that there is a real intention for implementation, in spite of all the past promises that were not fulfilled by the
regime and Assad especially with respect to ceasefire?
In your opinion, do you think that Assad is recognizing that his fall and end have approached?
My call I launch today means that the leaderships shall bear the historic responsibility, and to be aware of
the necessity of stopping bloodshed, killing of people and
the destruction of the country. This point is the point of
no-return.
Well, but don't you fear, as an Islamic organization, of being exposed to numerous criticisms;
as after all such bloodshed, and the war crimes he committed, you just ask Assad to leave as if nothing has happened.
Naturally, who decides the fate of the political talks
and the details are the representatives of the Syrian people. The Syrian coalition has acquired, in Marrakech meeting,
political support from over one hundred UN countries
Now this is the responsibility of the Syrian coalition, it is the responsibility of the Syrian opposition, and i mean
Symbols of the solution should be in political negotiations between the opposition and the regime
Ok , but you said that Al - Assad should leave, what do you expect the nature of this department to be, or
at least what is the nature of the solution you hope for?
This will be discussed in the negotiations, nobody can say now anything now before
the negotiations start between parties of the conflict in Syria
Are you optimistic about the commencement of the negotiations? Because people inside ... is the coalition ready, allow
me Mr. Akmal Al Deen , do you think
That the coalition is really capable of taking such a step,
especially that people on the inside are refusing any
negotiations with former regime?
Well, we should not put the cart in front of the horse , we must
continue with political contacts, we must search for a political solution; because the military solution will be very
costly. I mean that more people will die or will be killed.
There will be more destruction of the infrastructure, and hence military operations should be stopped, a solution should
be found and political negotiations between
parties of the conflict should commence.
Here comes the importance of international diplomatic work; and here comes the importance of the security council,
Geneva Convention and negotiations managed by Al Khader Al Ibrahimi
at this moment . The Security Council was paralyzed. Have you come to know anything about any changes in the stances of
Russia and China ? Please be brief. There is discussion on this point
that this formula should be arrived at so as the Security Council reaches a consensus. This is what current effort seeks
to achieve. This is the main point.
we have Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu , the Secretary General of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation with us from Jeddah via
phone
Thank you so much.
The border crossing with Syria in East Lebanon witnesses
heavy crossing of displaced Palestinians from Al - Yarmouk
camp escaping
from the violence escalating in the last few days. They will
join other two thousand Palestinians entered Lebanon during
the past three days, according to the estimates of Relief
and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees ( URWA ) and the
Lebanese General Security,
Dozens of buses and cars passed through
carrying Palestinians crossed the Lebanese borders before today's noon .
Of course, hundreds of displaced Palestinians
who arrived Lebanon sit-in in front of the office of
UNRWA in the Lebanese city of Sidon , calling for providing residence and care. Those who carried out the sit-in hold the
responsibility of providing relief to UNRWA
The Syrian military aircraft carried out air raids on Al - Yarmuk camp for Palestinian refugees, hours after Palestinian
and Syrian fighters opposing the regime took control on large parts of the camp
while the Syrian regime forces withdrew from a number of centers and checkpoints in northern countryside of Hama , after
violent clashes with the Free Army
Protectors of Kafr Zayta Dec .18
Few hours after announcing the start of Hama liberation process, the Free Army seized a large area of it
Thank god the liberation of
Kafer Nabouda
and Halfaya , reaching Kfarzayta , the regions that have been
controlled by the rebels after fierce battles with the Assad
army.
The rebels seized armored vehicles and tanks fighters and
the regime's helicopters continued to shell the Damascus
countryside
killing and injuring dozens of people. In Kfarbatna , activists broadcast pictures showing the regime's attack with
cluster bombs so as to cause the biggest possible damage
among civilians.
This innocent child what's her fault to be shot by missiles?
violent clashes also broke out between the Free Army and the
regime forces in Darya and extended to include east Al
Ghutah , Damascus
as Nisreen , Irbeen , Zamlka , Maliha were subjected to artillery and air shelling. Yarmouk to the south of the capital
witnessed artillery and air shelling which military regime jets participated in.
Hours after the Free army announced the control over the neighborhood.
The sons of the Free Army champions. The thugs came here. They surrendered!
In Deir Al - Zour the revolutionary military council announced
about launching a wide range process to control it
statement 1 was issued by the military and revolutionary command in Deir Al - Zour . The military and field command
announces the start up of its real operations
Aiming at liberating the stricken city of Deir Al - Zour from Al - Assad gangs and his defeated supporters.
and soon came the news of the field to confirm the siege of
rebels to the political security center in Deir Al - Zour .
Mohammed Daghmesh . Al - Arabyia .
For more we have with us from Jerusalem Sami Moshasha the official spokesperson
On behalf of UNRWA , you are welcome. How do you deal here with the exodus of Palestinians from Al - Yarmouk refugee camp
who have already displaced in Syria .
yes, so far, there are more than four thousand
Palestinian refugees who left Yarmouk camp and have resorted to five schools under UNRWA in the surroundings of Damascus
including Al - Mazzah , Ramadan camp
and others. The agency provide them with essential services but the biggest danger, concern and apprehension
is what is happening to the more than 150 thousand Palestinian refugees who are living in Yarmouk camp. So far, the
UNRWA is trying hard successfully to know what to do and we know more
We know that over 2,000 Palestinians, according to report, entered Lebanon , and the Lebanese Government thankfully
facilitated somewhat entering Lebanon . The UNRWA
in Lebanon is providing its services. As we speak now , our teams are working in the areas where the Palestinians are
located to extend aid to them. We also realize that some of the refugees from the
Yarmouk went to Homs .
But more that two thirds of the camp population, totaling 150,000 refugees, left the camp. We are sparing no effort to
know where they went. We appealed more than once ... Are there any centers
or specific centers that the Palestinians can go to and
contact? This is meant for telling the Palestinians inside
Syria .
Yes.
So far, we have been able to turn five schools in the vicinity of Damascus to shelters, and this is a good opportunity
to urge all parties to respect these centers and their nutrality. These centers
are the only safe centers for Palestinian refugees. As I said, we are trying to find out where they are heading for
in Syria . We are ready to open and turn our centers and schools into shelters for them. Have you contacted the Syrian
regime? Are there any guarantees to protect these areas?
Frankly, we have received many guarantees in past from various parties.
the need to respect the neutrality of the Palestinian
refugee as it has nothing to do with this conflict, first ,
and second the importance of protecting our four thousand
staff members who acted in an attempt to provide services
and we have already lost
seven of them so far since the start of the events, but
these commitments are sometimes met and sometimes not, for
so many reasons. This is
the source of anxiety maybe. Having tens of thousands of
refugees in motion outside the camp is concerning./ Is
there a work plan
to solve the issue of the displaced Palestinians if this situation remained longer?/ There is an emergency plan of
action ready for some time now , as we expected such development
as happened in other camps in Syria . Our main crews are
still in Syria , but unfortunately, most of our employees
left Yarmouk camp because they had
to with another work cell working hard inside the camp. The largest number of our employees are still in Syria , four
thousand employees as well as the international crew
also still in Syria . But the available potentials, whether the food or the medication
are limited and its ability to move safely is not available at the moment , mainly inside Al -yarmouk camp
In its surroundings, and this is a great challenge, and again its an appeal to all parties to allow the organization to
move to evacuate those who want to leave the camp.
And once more, not to enter again and respect the neutrality
of UNRWA schools that are sheltering 4000 refugees, and we
expect this number to go up
every minute .
From Jerusalem Sami Mushasha , UNRWA's official spokesperson
Thank you very much. Shortly, in the evening's bulletin

welcome again.
New demonstrations called by the Egyptian opposition to denounce the constitution
who first phase was organized last summer . The result was
'Yes', while the Justice Ministry held a press conference in which it said that the challenges against the result fall
within the specialization of the Election Committee
There are ongoing escalating reactions to the first phase of the referendum on the constitution especially on the part
of the National Rescue Front which submitted a complaint today to the Attorney General including
several violations, especially an extensive fraud that, according to the National Rescue Front, affected the results in
the first phase of the referendum on the constitution
We submitted a complaint against the fraud like when anyone
submits complaints regarding fraud actions and the
Prosecution then open investigations
On its part, the Egyptian Ministry of Justice denied any relation to the progress of the referendum in the first phase,
affirming that this was an original duty of the Supreme Election Commission. The Ministry pointed that the Justice
Minister decided to appoint judges to open investigations into the alleged violations
in the first phase of the referendum whether
In complaints relating to allegations that non-judges presided some election committees and to allegations involving the
Justice Minister, the Minister expressed total readiness to
appear before the investigating magistrate
The Tagammu party held a press conference to stress their rejection to violations in that phase, stressing that the
result does not indicate real public agreement on the constitution which is the subject of the referendum
If there is a certain amount of general agreement to pass the constitution, the general satisfaction remains which is
only be achieved by high percentage, eighty, seventy five , and not fifty five
while the reactions on the resignation of the Prosecutor General Tal'at Abdullah continue, the trend "judges for the
sake of Egypt " confirmed that it met the Prosecutor General to discuss the reasons for his resignation.
We found his Excellence the Chancellor insisting on his position.
regarding the resignation. He said that he won't be able to work at this tensed atmosphere.
While observers considered
the decision of the public prosecutor to resign is a step to amend the track.
The General Prosecutor is independent in his position since Nov . 22 until now . He was there but without the full
legitimacy, as his resignation comes a correction
for error, and comes back to the right track, and as a lesson to President Morsi .
movements from opposition forces to protest against the results of the first phase of the referendum. Ambiguity now
hangs on the second phase. Rasha Nabil , Al - Arabiya .
Cairo .
-News were conflicting about the apology of the Secretary-General of the electoral commission in Egypt for not
supervising the referendum. The spokesman of the committee denied these news, while other sources confirmed .
Mr. Zaghloul is going on at the committee, and will start his work in the second phase with us. We hope and call the
journalists and medial people to make sure of any information
before publishing, because rumors increased too much in the last two days. The issue is the news which I don't know
where it comes from, we find it today published
The Muslim brotherhood group demanded the ministry of interior... the judges of being attacked and exposed to danger
and denounced what it described as a crime of constraining
the new Public Prosecutor to submit his resignation. In its
commentary statement
on what has been circulated that a group carrying licensed weapons have forced the Public Prosecutor to resign, the
Group stated that this is a dangerous crime that should be challenged by all judges.
For more details, Randa Abu Al - Azzam , Al - Arabiya correspondent, joins us from Tahrir square in central Cairo .
Also, Ahmed Bgattu , Al - Arabiya correspondent, joins us from the vicinity of Al - Etahadeya Palace in Cairo .
Welcome colleagues. I will start with Randa . One hour ago, we were speaking about two marches but the number of people
was not big. What is the situation now ?
Yes really the number is too small, perhaps they are just dozens or hundreds of people maximum
The marches are now wandering around Tahrir square. Perhaps some enters
on violations in the first round and the demand to cancel this stage and of course all the demonstrations here condemn
this, but the expected mass did not happen because it seems that some believe that the referendum process which started
must continue and end up with either "yes" or "no". Those
who stood for hours in long queues do not see that there is
use of these marches
Perhaps some people are exhausted of the marches over the last months, that is why, at least in the Tahrir square, the
scene seems weak in terms of numbers
But on the other hand, there are press conferences since the morning , whether at the Ministry of Justice, or at the
supreme committee for elections. There are also reports by the national salvation front
regarding this stage and the violations in the first phase
of the referendum by the attorney general and also the
supreme committee for elections. Till the moment , the issue
of the resignation or not of chancellor Zaghloul Al -belsi is
still on the table
One judicial source said that chancellor Zaghloul Al -belsi
underwent an eye surgery today , and carrying out his mission
as secretary general of the referendum commission will be
determined tomorrow and this in the light of what his
daughter Raghda said
She announced that her father underwent an eye surgery and that doctors advised him to rest for ten days./ So a true
illness and not a political illness, Randa ./ Well, it seems so
Some mentioned ..
Allow me to move to Ahmad to check out the scene in front of Al - Itihadiya Palace, Ahmad , please go ahead.
Yes, the demonstration coming from Al Noor mosque in Abassyia arrived here in front of Al Itihadiya Palace, and they are
waiting for the other demonstration to arrive. The numbers are few, but even though and according to
the demonstrators, these are symbolic numbers, or a symbolic demonstrations that shows that many of the Egyptian people
reject the Egyptian constitution, which they believe to be not representative of the whole political spectrum, and only
represents the Muslim Brotherhood.
The chants and banners confirm that the manipulation that took place in the first round, will not be tolerated in the
second one . Especially after the Salvation Front demanded to postpone
the second round of the referendum, when the advisers to the
State's council refused to oversee the second round of the
referendum, and after the advisers to the Administrative
Prosecution announced that. The Salvation Front Says that it
is not possible
in any case to be implemented under full judicial
supervision, and this is what they want to participate in
this referendum. -OK
OK
Therefore, everybody is doubting
We only want to know the opinions, is everybody convinced that the second round should continue, even if that was
according to specific circumstances, and under actual judicial supervision, according to what they claim of course
was not as powerful as it should have been? Or is there
still a split between those who want it to continue and
those who do not want that?
Yes, many are quoting the rights organizations and observers
who confirmed that there were plenty of errors in the first
round of the referendum.
However, some other organizations say that these shortcomings will not affect the results of the first round, but
everyone here affirms that they fear that the referendum was rigged
after what they saw in the first round. Long lines in front of the polling stations were moving slowly. There was no
constitution. There were many violations in the first round
and many here cast doubt on it. The Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic trends are saying that they will stage protests
on Friday to express support for
the constitution, one day before the second round of the
referendum. The Egyptian street is divided. There is
political and popular divisions.
Turning to you Randa , we talked about news conferences by the Interior Ministry. What about the moves by the Muslim
Brotherhood? The Muslim Brotherhood does not take to streets and squares because they depend on
next Saturday. They rely heavily on the fact that voters of the second round will vote in favor of the constitution in
17 governorates where the referendum will be held
In 13 of these governorates, President Musri led the
election results, and the Muslim Brotherhood believe that
these governorates
are more important, so the chances of voting in favor of the constitution are bigger. They believe that the percentage
of those who will vote in favor of the constitution will be bigger. Moreover, they condemn the resignation of the
general prosecutor or the forced resignation
There were some reports regarding the dialogue on the fourth
session of dialogue with the president by political forces
that were
took in the first round.
It was a gift from God that this meeting has been postponed until tomorrow under the chairmanship of adviser Mohammed
Makki vice president who denied his resignation. Also,
There are some judicial authorities that will determine its stance tomorrow as the administrative prosecution but they
would probably boycott the second round of the election and the referendum also judges clubs
of the state had announced that they will not participate in the second round. Despite this, the supreme committee for
elections, referendum confirms that it has
sufficient number of judges to supervise the second round.
So, the direction now continues in the referendum process in the second round in a much more than the demonstrators want
here.
Randa Abu Al - Azzem
From Tahrir square in central Cairo , Al - Arabiya reporter and
I thank the Arab reporter in the vicinity of the Federal
palace in Cairo Ahmed Bgattu
And with us from Cairo
Tareq Al - Saeed , member of the media center of the popular movement
Welcome Mr. Tarek , the brotherhood is calling on the
interior ministry to protect the judges. Are they in real
danger? And who from?
In fact
no media resource has ever mentioned that the general prosecutor agents
has ever carried guns and threatened him to force him to resign. The general prosecutor himself did not say that. I do
no have any idea where from did the Muslim Brotherhood come up in its statement today
with all this, saying that he was forced at gunpoint. This is
groundless information.
No media resource ever mentioned it, neither did the general prosecutor, and I don't know where did the Muslim
Brotherhood get it from./ Okay, let us skip this point
Mr. Tarek regarding the street and the call for a million -man demonstration today . How do you view the small numbers
which went to the street? What does that indicate?
The few who went to the streets today were intending to conduct a symbolic demonstration to express
their rejection to the referendum and all the blatant and deliberate forgery
and very clear breaches and forging
People here don't want the Egyptian opposition to be with huge crowds
Millions have gone down to streets before that, demanding to
drop the Constituent Committee and Constitutional
Declaration
What happened today is symbolic demonstrations expressing political and social forces. I would like to refer to this new
variable that there is expression
of social forces that emerged to protect, not the revolution but the country that
many ordinary people, especially the middle class perceive that there was a change in that state, or what is called
attempts to make the country just as Brotherhood.
Well, the symbolic movements say
What does the opposition rely on especially that it seems through the statements of the Supreme Committee for Elections
that the referendum is continuous, and has enough judges to supervise it, What does the opposition rely on?.
Opposition relies on the Egyptian people, who said his word with a loud voice in millions who came out to demonstrate,
it relies on on the percentage of the referendum
According to the Muslim Brotherhood, votes with 'Yes' and votes with 'No' were convergent, while sources from the
National Rescue Front, the popular stream and civil society organizations the result was 'No'
The latter group said that 66% of those who voted in the
first phase said 'No' to the controversial constitution or
the constitution
of the Muslim Brotherhood group who depend on wide groups of the Egyptian people ... You may ask
or I may ask where are the judges standing from President Mohammed Morsi ? Where is the whole political street standing
from political parties and trends? Where are
the artists? Where are the intellectuals? In fact, in six months, the regime of President Mohammed Morsi lost what
Mubarak regime lost in thirty years. I want to note that
Non of the opposition political groups, including the popular trend and the National Rescue Front,has demanded
overthrowing the President, but they instead have demanded
overthrowing the constitution, the constitutional assembly and the constitutional declaration. Normal people went beyond
these demands. They raised the ceiling and demanded toppling President Mohammed Morsi . This is a proof that
The Muslim Brotherhood group or the Freedom and Justice
Party and President Mohammed Morsi have lost all of their
friends and even their supporters
during the period of the elections; because the President has not been even fulfilled the promises he committed himself
with the period of presidential elections.
From Cairo , Tariq Saeed , member of the media center for the Popular Trend, thank you very much. In the evening news

The Bahraini Foreign Mnister ,Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Aal Khalifa , said that the transfer of the GCC countries from the
stage of cooperation to the stage of union, is an important strategic step.
He added that Manama has appointed its representative in the Union
board which has been formed
The Gulf Union shall be announced in a special summit to be help in Riyadh
He stressed that the Gulf Union will not affect the
sovereignty of the Gulf countries, and that it he needs more
deliberation
A diplomatic source stated that the Four European States,
members of the Security Council, including France and Great
Britain , who are permanent members, are preparing a joint
statement to condemn construction projects in Israeli
settlements, also
Peace Now,
which is an Israeli movement against settlement, announced that there are big construction projects for settlements in
East Jerusalem awaiting the needed approval
to commence
The successive settlement strikes that Israel directs at Palestinian are all within a planned strategy; the approval of
building 1500 unit in the Settlement of Ramat Shalom , north to Jerusalm
on the lands of Shufaat neighborhood, aims to prevent the separation between East and West Jerusalem , and separate
between Jerusalem and Ramalla , which is the case of Givat Hamatos , located to the South
of Jerusalem where the construction of 900 settlement units was approved to separate Jerusalem completely from the South
of the West Bank . The task of cutting the geographical continuity between the North
and the South parts of the West Bank is done through the
area of Iwan , which is located between Jerusalem and Ma'ale
Adumim .
What the world has to do
is to take preventive measures, when you took drastic measures in Iraq and mobilized your armies, and when you took a
position during the Arab Spring and attacked the Libyan army
Now, you interfere in many Arab countries!
Why are all rights of Palestinians violated, everything for him!! all that can constitute basis for a state, entity
ten or twelve million Palestinians
the price of international condemnation and US opposition, while provoking Palestinians remain reasonable for Netanyahu
in the midst of election battle
World told us something by voting on the Palestinian state, but the rivalry between the Likud and the Jewish house of
settlers party on the votes of the right pushes Netanyahu to attack via settling.
The coming days and weeks remain on a date with more
projects that include building thousands of units in the
vicinity of the occupied Jerusalem and inside the top three
settlement blocs, the settlement attack on the occupied
Jerusalem and others is ongoing
as well as dates and sites there.
Strategy is mixed with tactics firstly: to draw up the features of no-solution on the ground through the settlement
tool.
Secondly: to provoke the feelings of the Israeli right in the elections battle which supports state of settlers but
rejects
a Palestinian state, Ziyad Halabi , Al - Arabiya , from Ramat Shlomo settlement in the occupied Jerusalem . To the economic
news now with Lara . Lara , go ahead, thanks Maisoun . [ad]

Good evening . Dear viewers, we welcome you to the economic bulletin. We start from Saudi Arabia .
Reuters cited Ali Al - Naimi , the Saudi minister of petroleum a mineral resources, as saying that global oil supplies are
plentiful and demand is good.
He added that producers and consumers are satisfied with the current prices. As regards oil supply, Al - Naimi pointed out
that the US production of oil is increasing
and the Iraqi and Libyan productions are increasing. It is worth mentioning that the Saudi minister had said earlier
this year that the price of $100 per barrel of oil is fine.
This is a review of the prices of oil's long -term contracts. There was significant risk taking steps today in light of
optimism over the ongoing negotiations to avoid the financial cliff in the United States .
In Saudi Arabia , Ma'adin company signed a loan agreement at
a value of 9 billion Riyals for five years with 10 Saudi
banks in addition to
JPMorgan and Chase bank
The loan was covered by two times and half.
Due to banks offers for financing, Ma'ain decided to increase the 7- billion loan it applied for. The company will use
this loan in financing future projects and meeting its other financial needs.
The Bord of Directors of the Arab Bank recommended distributing a profit of 1 riyal for each share for this year , at a
total of some 1.3 billion riyals.
and this is now a look at the Saudi stock market at the end
of today's session, to end the session down by 0.2% after
five straight sessions of

billion, more than SR 1 billion focused on Bank AlJazira which are unusual trading on this bank, at least the highest

US President Barack Obama rejected the backup plan of US House Speaker John Boehner
to avoid financial abyss early next year .
This came after Boehner excepts proposing a draft law in this regard to the House of Representatives this week
indicating that Obama's last offer
is not enough to avoid financial abyss. Obama had held his
fifth meeting with Boehner to avoid the financial abyss. The
US president's proposal includes increasing revenues by
USD1.300 trillion in return for cuts in expenditure by
USD930 billion
Despite all this, there is optimism in the current talks between Barack Obama and John Penner
as reflected strongly today in the US markets, which recorded strong rises of nine -tenths percent with respect to the
SNT . Also Dow Jones adds nine -tenths percent . The highest US market gains
have thus been attained in two sessions compared to the entire past month . And the European markets also closes their
sessions today at their highest levels of this year
where high rises were noticed with basic support from the American financial abyss issue. This is the end of the
economic brief. We will continue the news bulletin with you now , Maison
Thanks Lara . [ad]

The study shows that these women are vulnerable to diabetes
[Music]
A recent study shows that women who survived breast cancer
could be more vulnerable to diabetes after menopause,
especially
if they received chemotherapy. Researchers at the Women's Research Institute in Toronto in Canada analyzed the data of
approximately 25,000 women above the age of 55 who survived breast cancer, and 125,000 cancer free women
The study lasted 12 years and after follow-up was concluded that nearly 10% of participating women contracted diabetes,
compared with women who did not get cancer was at risk to contract diabetes in breast cancer survivors
was higher with seven percent after two years of the
diagnosis of cancer and with twenty one percent after ten
years of diagnosis.
Researchers pointed out that the risk of diabetes declined
with time among those women who saved from breast cancer and
were
under the chemotherapy, so it was higher by twenty four
percent during the first two years of diagnosing cancer and
eight percent after ten years of diagnosis. Scientists
believed that curbing Estrogen due to the chemotherapy is
one of the reasons
that may lead to diabetes, while others believed that steroid
taken by the patients of chemotherapy to treat nausea may be the reason,
since it leads to an imbalance at the sugar level in blood
and a change in the production of insulin. Others said that the increase of weight
that is always linked to diabetic people may also be one of the main reasons
which contributes to getting diabetes
because prevention is better than treatment, as it is said, doctors see that doing regular exercises and following a
healthy diet contribute to reducing risks of getting cancer.
