details of rigging the media campaigns to discredit the
rebels
the Free Army announces
the start
of what it describe as the liberation battle of the Taftanaz military airport in the countryside of Idlib
considered one of the most important airports in northern Syria .. The coordination committees announced the Free Army's
downing of a helicopter in the city two days ago... The fire reached the outskirts of the airport Taftanaz after the
Saraqeb rebels brigade front downed a helicopter belonging to the regime forces near the airport... In the last hours,
the shooting reached the heart of the airport with the Free Army announcing the start of the battle to control the
Taftanaz military airport... The airport is located in the countryside
of Idlib and is one of the main airports in it.
The regime forces used it as a springboard to launch explosive barrels on Syrian cities and villages... and in a survey
of this airport's artillery and personnel... the number of personnel is four hundred people
including officers
soldiers
and technicians,
as for the number of planes, there are about thirty aircraft between jets and tankers... while the regime forces brought
seven armored vehicles, five cannons in addition to the missile launchers to face any possible attack by members of the
Free Army...
the airport alsxo contains missiles, ammunition and fuel stores... in addition to the equipment inside the airport...

violent clashes took place between the regime forces and the FSA which managed to capture a number of soldiers inside
the airport and seized several tanks
While negotiations are underway to hand over them the airport to preserve the safety of the soldiers inside it.
The battle to control
the Airport
of Taftanaz is not the first of its kind... There were other
attempts last August ... It is not the only battle in the
countryside of Idlib
which also witnesses the battle of " Al - Binian Al - Marsous ", which was
announced by the Free Army a week ago to control the wadi Deif ... but these battles of control made Idlib a major target
for the regime's artillery and its aircraft
which bombed heavily more than one area in it.
Nagham Rabah , Al - Arabiya
With us, on the phone, from Idlib the captain pilot Ammar
Al - Wawi , secretary of the free army and brigade commander of
Al Ababil .
Welcome , Mr. Ammar , where has the operation of controlling Taftanaz airport reached?.
Greetings to you and damn on the killers of the Syrian people and the killers of children and blood traders
the leaders of Iran, Hassan Nasrallah Lat , Al - Maliki and Russia , and I want to say, does not devil Brahimi see those
massacres against our civilian people in Al Maliha and Al - Madamiya and in all areas in Syria , only civilians are
targeted. The Battle in Taftanaz airport
since one day and the siege on the airport is intensive,
severe battles, there are defections among elements and
officers
and arrests, several armored vehicles were also destroyed
Are there any figures regarding the defections and detainees
There are more than 50
dissident elements, and there are a number of detainees, we
refuse to announce their names. The airport control tower
was also hit
and command headquarters were hit. There are negotiations
by the FSA courageous commanders who are besieging this
airport to avoid the bloodshed
of the soldiers because they are Syrias. We want them to
turn themselves in without bloodshed. That is because they
are Syrians.
Well, how are you dealing with this demand?
Otherwise, their fate will be similar to that of any killer in Syria .
How are you going to deal with this demand?
The issue will be handled in the coming days. It is under the jurisdiction of the commanders of the brigades in
in this airport. The siege is heighten. There is an operation room for the commanders of the brigades that are besieging
the airport. There is a possibility for negotiation to end bloodshed.
Those who defect or turn themselves in receive good treatment.
This is not the first time that you try to control this
airport. How did you change your moves on the ground since
August?
The number of FSA members has increased.
The FSA weaponry and ammunition have increased following the liberation of the Faculty of infantry, Faculty of
Administrative affairs, after the control of Khan Tuman weapon depot,
, and after the liberalization of 46th Special Forces Regiment. After that, the FSA has tanks, artillery, and
anti-aircraft guns. Therefore, the commanders of brigades decided to storm this airport which is used in
bombarding our people in Taftanaz and Binnich and in all the areas adjacent to the airport. We storm this airport to
stop the killing of our civilian people around
Captain Ammar al- Wawi , Secretary of the Free Army and Commander of the Ababil Brigade, joins us on the phone from Idlib
Thank you very much!
Pictures leaked by defected persons from the Syrian television showed fabrication made by the Regime Forces and a
correspondent of pro-regime channels in movies to show the Free Army as a terrorist group
The recordings also showed fabrication made by the Regime to
confessions accusing the revolutionaries of committing
immoral crimes. [Music]
Since the start of the revolution, the Syrian Regime has been trying to show that what is going on in the country to be
a plot, including revelation of fabricated media misleading aimed at humiliating al- Assad , as reported by TV channels,
and accusations directed to the revolutionaries regarding the commission of moral crimes
In Damascus countryside, a girl was rapped
On Saturday, 18 of this month , I was on my way to home.
We were in a taxi. The taxi was driving in a byway. A car was driving behind us. They stopped the taxi and ordered the
driver to drive me out of the taxi
The girl in this video is accusing
young men in the rebellious city of Harasta in Damascus countryside
of kidnapping her
and then bring one of the Harasta detainees to admit what he did not commit.
The car stopped where the girl wanted to get down. We got out of the car
and by force took the girl out of the car.
But what was shown by the leaks of dissidents from drama media service
as called by the Syrians, is that the girl was not kidnapped
and the young man is a victim.
I was returning to my parent's home and got in a cab and when we reached Harasta , the driver entered in a side street
but they threatened and said. On Saturday the tenth, I was coming back to my family's home and got in a cab
It happens that the girl forgets what she was taught but the
question remains about the fate of the defendant and
especially that many international organizations warned the
Syrian regime to exploit the detainees through forcing them
to confess under threat.
So, this demonstrator, after he finishes his tasks assigned to him of subversion,
starts to rape, steal cut off roads. Activists say that these practices has become a travesty.
They took me to the wild.
Here also, a Syrian channel correspondent is preparing a report on the free army
assisted by forces of the regime army who are opening fire on an alleged checkpoint which is in fact empty.
In Al - Ashira Neighborhood, one of the army barriers is being subjected to terrorist attack. Al - Ikhbariya's camera
was able to come to the scene of the attack after hiding the channel's identity from terrorists.
The Syrian television stated previously that it uncovered a terrorist cell that destroys residential houses in
Homs .
However, it turned out later that the official channel
reporter, accompanied by the Regime Army, had prepared
carefully the place of filming
and chose the scenes one after the other.
Mohammed Doghmos , Al - Arabiya .
The family of the independent American journalist, James
Polly , announced that he was abducted, the end of last
November, in northern Syria . Polly , who is aged 39, is a war
correspondent who covered most of the disputes in recent
years. Depositions collected
by the Agence France - Presse ( AFP ) indicated that he was arrested on last November 22, near the town of Taftanaz , by
four men armed with Kalashnikov machine guns who released his driver and interpreter later on.
the James family requested to keep his kidnapping discrete in order for that to increases chances of his release, but
after 6 weeks of the kidnapping they were forced to announce it in the hope
to get any information about him. [music]. In the evening
bulletin after a moment , a leader in the Brotherhood accuses
the National Salvation Front of political bankruptcy, and
demands the punishment of those who doubt the legitimacy of
the constitution. [music]
[ad] [music] Welcome back. The fact-finding committee condemned
formed by President Mohammed Mursi , to investigate the killing of demonstrators in Egypt , police and security officials,
and accused them of firing live bullets on protesters. The
committee called to recall hundreds of those involved in the
killings, including former officials, politicians and
military.
Mursi , who received a copy of the report, and the committee
asked for the report to be presented to by the public
prosecutor to start its investigation in the above-mentioned
facts.
It was a Friday of rage, almost two years ago, on 28 January
and was also the day that saw the beginning of the violence against demonstrators in Tahrir square.
that day police officers ascended the rooftops of the Ministry of Interior and the American University building
and fired at demonstrators, admitted the minister of Interior
at the time , Habib Al - adli , said the report of the fact-finding committee formed by president Mohamed Morsi . The report
that was issued six months after the investigations into killing the demonstrators,
mentioned that the security forces used live ammunition in
ending the sit-ins and about orders to use firearms by a
person that has to be obeyed.
The report accused leaders of the dissolved national party
in financing a group of thugs and pushing them
to go to the Tahrir square and attack the protesters. The report also indirectly accused Gamal Mubarak of planning for
the Camel battle and the army of conspiracy in the attack against protesters there by allowing the "Camels" to enter the
Tahrir square. Some of those riding camels were police members in civil outfits. It also disclosed that former President
Hosni Mobarak was watching the Tahrir square incidents live
via a coded channel founded by former information minister Anas Al -faqi especially for him. In the Maspiro events, the
committee said that it had determined the identity involved army officers. As for the Port Said incidents, the committee
held responsible for what happened
to the referee, the soccer federation and a number of
officers. The committee also accused the Police of using
armored cars
to crush the demonstrators and deliberately cause the death of some of them by asphyxiation in the battles of Mohamed
Mahmoud . The committee which said that a number of politicians and TV channels refused to cooperate or provide evidences
finally called on hundreds of those involved
including former commanders in the Interior Ministry and in the armed forces, in addition to civilians, whom it did not
mention their names fearing of their escape. Raghida Bahnam , Al - Arabiya
For more details, with us from Cairo Mr. Tqadom Al - Khatib , a member of the fact-finding committee
welcome. Mr. Tqadom , in your previous statements, you have accused the Interior Ministry that it does not cooperate with
the committee, has the situation changed
since August , according to your statements of course until the issuance of this report or no
Yes, there was a very big change in
cooperation which was shown by the Ministry of Interior , and we were allowed to see many special documents that explain
the involvement mechanisms and the way of arming special forces and their places of centralization
thus, the Ministry of Interior was very cooperative with us. There is a report which was prepared in advance, this
report talks about how different bodies cooperate
with the committee which was formed. These matters which we
were informed about added a new dimension and new
information to the formed committee
Well, it added new information, the information which was leaked until this moment on the details of this report, does
it have sufficient credibility? Or not?
What is said in the committee
Newspapers attribute these statements to a member of the committee and he is alone responsible for these statements. But
I read other statements which unfortunately were not
attributed to anyone. They were made for publicity purposes
Like what?
These are not accurate. For example, the committee requested
the opening of investigations with Group 95 in the Muslim
Brotherhood
I have not seen this report, but it is well known that some figures from the Muslim Brotherhood came to testify and
provide evidence. Thus, they will be required to testify before the court and also before the prosecution
There is a difference between being accused and between being a witness. One of the proofs that the committee concluded
is that al- Gamal battle with all of its different details
was supposed to take place on 28 January but since this
would have put more burdens on the forces that were already
positioning
in the streets for four days, al- Gamal case was postponed to 02 February . The committee also revealed that the encrypted
channel which was mentioned in the report
that the cameras which were above the buildings in the Tahrir square as well as the cameras situated above the
building of the public departments complex in the Tahrir square
transferring the images to a computer of the general
intelligence service and the images were transferred
directly to Mubarak who was fully aware of these matters.
Also the diplomatic car which was present in the square and
which ran over the protesters
This car belongs to the Ministry of Interior or to one of the security authorities because the embassy used to
presenting these cars to the state security service, to the Interior Ministry and intelligence services. These cars were
without number plates or with fake ones in order to be used in the killings.
Therefore, the identity of this diplomatic car has been disclosed, besides the presence of snipers and real weapons,
such as live bullets and cartridges, that were provided to the existing forces sent by the police.
From Cairo , Mr Taqadom Al - khatib , a member of the fact-finding committee,
Thank you very much.
With us from Cairo , Ahmed Hassan Al - Sharquawi , head of the
political parties and organizations in the Middle East News
Agency.
You are welcome. Mr.
Ahmed , what is your comment on what was narrated so far or announced at least about the details regarding the report of
the fact-finding committee?
In fact, i would like to say that there is now a political decision making will in Egypt in order to take action
regarding the issue of killing the rebels, which has stretched during the transitional period .
Now we have a report by a committee, known in the media by " Morsi's committee". The first committee
which accused some people, and which was sentenced. It was founded by Dr . Ahmed Shafik when he was a prime minister, and
is known as Shafiq committee.
There is now a political will to transform the matter with new evidence. This is what actually happened earlier today
when the president Mohamed Mursi , charged the committee chairman, Mohamed Ezzat
Sharbat , secretary general of the committee, adviser Omar Marwan to transmit the report to the public prosecution.
Now, there is a new year deputy and he has the right to start and talk to all the competent bodies without any
difficulty and demand the sovereign bodies to provide greater cooperation with the investigation authorities in
the new evidence provided, that I think it would affect large people whom were present in the past in government and
some of them still exist so far. There will be surprises in Egypt in the coming days
on this report.
So, you are optimistic regarding this report. What do you say about the people who are criticizing the absence of talk
at least concerning the issue of storming the prisons?
Storming prisons, is the case, I think
that the fact-finding committee is concerned to reveal new evidence which can be presented to the investigation
authorities regarding the killing of rebels inside fields of
Revolution, whether in Tahrir square or in the million marches that took place during the transitional period , we know
that this report, which is between our hands now ,
covers the transitional period from 25 January 2011 until 30 June 2012 and, therefore, is not only includes
events that took place during the 18 days of the revolution, which ended with the resignation of Mubarak , but also
covers the period that the military council took charge of matters throughout the country.
for a year and a half.
OK, if there is the will of the
for some of the names I would like to say I have no information
if there is political will, why not present the report before the public for transparency and at least include names?
As it was said, there is a fear that those accused will flee
the country. We know now that one of those pointed fingers
against
refers to is Major General Hamdi Badeen , former president of
the Military Police in Egypt and the accused in the events
of Maspero in 2011
in September 2011.
What we have today , we have seen that the Lieutenant General Sami Annan , Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces had
previously left the country to Saudi Arabia to perform
pilgrimage in the holy land. I mean, there is a fear that the names that might be called
accusations who might escape the country.
Therefore, the report suppresses the names. There is almost certainty that accusations might be leveled at the family
of former president Mohamed Hosni Mubarak himself.
This is addition to his son Jamal , his wife SusanAccusations might be leveled at senior military commanders. Members of
the Military Council issued orders, and these orders
entailed turning a blind eye to taking action, thus causing
the death of revolutionaries in million -strong rallies in
Maspero and Mohammed Mahmoud ,
It was reported that there are fears that the suspects might flee the country. We came to know that
one of those accused was Major General Hamza Badin , former
commander of the Egyptian Military Police. He was accused of
the incidents in
Maspero in September 2011.
We learned today that Lieutenant General Sami Anan , former
chief of staff of the Armed Forces, had left the country.
He traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah
There are fears that the suspects might escape from the country. Therefore, the report avoids to disclose
names but there is a semi-confirmation that accusations point again to the family of former president Mohamed Hosni
Mubarak , the president himself and his son
Gamal and his wife, lady Susan perhaps prejudicing their accusations. Maybe these accusations might reach high ranking
military leaders, members of the military council who issued orders and these orders or neglected
taking measures which led to the death of rebels and the martyrdom of the revolutionaries in different squares in
Maspero , in Mohammed Mahmoud one and in the council of ministers.
The coming days will reveal many developments on this matter, especially when the public prosecutor, counselor Ibrahim
Talaat will deal with this issue and officially addresses sovereign bodies such as the general intelligence service,
And the ministry of interior, and calls for investigations, re-investigation, and calls for providing new evidence and
tape recording. The coded channel was with the former minister of media.
Anas Al - Faqi and director of the news sector at that time Latif Al - Menawi , and if these recordings, were obtained
it will offer a lot for these investigations.
From Cairo Ahmed Hassan Al - Sharqawi , official of parties and political organizations in the middle east news agency.
Thank you very much.
On a different Egyptian note,
Mahmoud Hussein , the secretary-general of the Muslim
brotherhood group, accused the Egyptian opposition of
political bankruptcy
and saw that its representation was weak
We are not saying that they have no presence
we are not saying that they are a group of individuals that have no presence in the street, we are saying that their
representation is weak. The political action needs to be taken to the streets to engage with the public
and convince the people of what they are saying. If they really refused the constitution and represented the majority,
they would have mobilized this majority to prove so. But this did not happen
but to the contrary
Mahmoud Hussein , the secretary-general of the Muslim brotherhood group also criticized the skepticism of the Egyptian
opposition front in the legitimacy of the president and its calls to topple the constitution... In his statements to
Al - Arabiya , he said people saying such words must be punished according to the law
Members of the salvation front saying that they will topple the constitution is a punishable act. We used to be put to
trial in the past on the charges of hampering the constitution
and not overthrowing the constitution. The Constitution was
fairly passed by the referendum which was observed by all
the media outlets
and all political forces. No one can say 'we will overthrow
the constitution' but they can say 'we will work through
peaceful means
or through the means provided for by the constitution to change the articles of the constitution which we disagree
with'. Saying that the President is not legitimate is a felony that is punishable in accordance with the law
I am actually surprised that the official agencies in the
state have not taken legal action to punish those for what
they say
UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum received Dr. Essam
al- Haddad , Egyptian President's Assistant for Foreign Relations and International Cooperation
who conveyed a message from the President of his country to
the UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
regarding bilateral relations between the two countries.
Major General Mohammed Rafat Shehata , head of the Egyptian
intelligence, Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan , UAE Deputy
Prime Minister, and Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan , UAE
Foreign Minister attended the meeting which addressed a
number of common issues between the two countries. This
visit comes after the UAE security services announced the
arrest of a cell including more than 10 leaders of the
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood group on the UAE territory
[Music] On Wednesday, the Iranian army announced that since September 2011, it captured 2
unmanned American made drones type RQ -11
The Iranian military official confirmed in a statement on state television that the Iranian army seized the first plane
in the period between August and September 2011 and the second between October and November of last year ... He added
that the team research center of the Iranian Army investigated the two planes and collect a lot of information
This comes as Iran ended naval military exercises conducted
near the Strait of Hormuz on an area of one million square
kilometers
and lasted for six days and included tests of weapons and Iranian-made missiles.
Iranian naval forces concluded tactical naval maneuvers that lasted for six days on an area of one million square
kilometers, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman and the northern regions of the Indian Ocean where it
conducted tests on the Iranian-made missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers
and the media showed footage of the Iranian missile " Qader " of land-sea
which has a range of 200 KM and said it successfully hit the practise target
also during the maneuvers, surface-to-surface missile "Nour"
was tested and also a long -term training exercise that
included special forces
and military diving units for the defense of Iranian ports and coasts against a possible attack
It was a show to prove that we can stand against any attack
on the state and in order not to feel worried from any
threats
On the last day of the exercises, Iran unveiled a homemade combat helicopter. The defense minister said that it has
features of high-precision targeting and would boost the Iranian forces considerably.
Iran holds several military exercises
in the year , through which it regularly reveals its progress in producing and manufacturing its military
equipment..Military commanders say that these maneuvers aim for showing
how Iran could defend itself. Imad El Din Hamam , Al - Arabiya .
and for more details, with us
from Jeddah , Dr. Anwar Eshki , president of the Saudi-based
Middle East Centre for Strategic and Legal Studies, welcome
with us
First of all, we listened to report which says that the intended message is the show and flex Iran's strengths to
retaliate against any threat. What types of threat are they? Are they regional or international threats?
In the Name of God the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Peace and Prayers be upon the Prophet, his household, and
his followers. By examining the events before these drills,
these drills were conducted ahead of schedule because an armed ship was captured in Al - Hudaydah in Yemen
and these drills were meant to deflect attention from this ship. The second reason is that these drills were not the
first by Iran. They were part of series of drills
carried out by Iran. Iran made these drills public. The third reason is fluctuating stance of Russia on Syria .
This is might be a good reason. The other reason is the GCC summit, which criticized. So Iran is sending a message
implicitly threatening GCC states, although it offered
reassurances to those countries. The final reason is to warn
America and Israel not to strike
or attack Iran's nuclear sites, because such a step might lead to block gulf and Bab el- Mandeb .
Well, but during these drills
and your assessment of its role, especially in light of the statements about a new combat helicopter. They are talking
about highly accurate targeting. The maneuver is not simple
and the area is large. Doesn't this reflects the lack of effectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Iran or not.
In fact, the sanctions had great effectiveness but these
festivals are trying to confirm that Iran is not affected to
this extent.
But in reality, Iran is suffering from big economic problems. And Iran
stopped exporting fuel and the Iranian people are now suffering from these economic sanctions. The bazaar market is
the backbone of the Iranian revolution. And this is true, it gives some indications
to the world that we are not affected so far by these measures or sanctions.
Dr. Anwar Al - Ashqi , president of the middle east center for strategic and legal studies, thank you very much.

New demonstrations against Al - Maliki and the prime minister
holds the responsibility of controversial laws to the
parliament.
Welcome again,
Demonstrators demanding the resignation of the Iraqi government, some of whom hold legitimate demands.
while others infiltrating between them for special agendas
This statement was made by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al - Maliki ,
while the patch of protests against his policy is widening.
Did not I stand with the people of Anbar when Al - Qaida was
tampering with their lives and dignities. Did not I stand a
strong position always
and some of them are demonstrating now , and they know well. They used to accuse those who call for demonstrations that
they are Zionists. Now they join them in this issue which violates the constitution.
Which I say about it frankly, directing my speech to simple innocent people, including many of them who have appointment
demands and certain issues, but the others have agendas
appeared through flags and banners, images and logos.
Mainly the agendas, you cannot imagine that it is difficult for the government to take steps and open a road
and end your case.
But I tell them that the time is not open to you, hurry to end this matter and I warn you not to continue because this
is contrary to the Constitution and this is a mistake
In the meantime , an increasing number of protesters in
Samarra , north of Baghdad in protest at the government's
actions, as demonstrations continued in Anbar and witnessed
the arrival of tribes from southern Iraq . Meanwhile , it was

Dear viewers, welcome to this economic bulletin. Today, there is a significant jump in the Index of Wall Street in
trading at the beginning of this year .
The rise in international markets happened after the United States avoided the fiscal cliff at last minute after the
endorsement of a draft law to increase taxes
by the Senate and the House of Representatives. Afterwards , US President Barack Obama said he will refuse to negotiate
with the Republicans over conditions of raising the legal ceiling for debt.
, something which he must do during the first quarter of the
current year to increase the ceiling of the debt, which
currently
reaches $16.5 trillion .
We have seen a significant increase in the tradings. Let us
review Wall Street Markets. The markets exceeds DOW level
by more than 1.7%. SNC jumps by 1.8%. This applies to the European Markets upon closure. There
are increases that did not happen in 9 months with regard to European Markets indices. FUTCI increases by some 2.2%.
In UAE, the UAE Al - Taqah Company was awarded 53.2% share of oil contract in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, at a value of
$600 million . The channel will fund the deal with its own resources, expecting production
This year , oil prices also benefit from finding a solution, of course, and avoiding the scenario which was supposed to
be happening automatically the beginning of this year . Notice rises on
Nymex is close to 93 dollars.
We also remind you, our viewers, with the figures of the closure of the Saudi market in the second session for this
year. one point.
Two percent . There was support from all sectors index closes above 6900 point level, very close to the highest levels of
the session. Today we talked about around 5.8 billion Riyals
But in Egypt , we watched the movement of the pound .
for Dollar , the Egyptian pound decline against the US dollar in trading today after finance minister Momtaz Al Said
expected the stabilization of its exchange rate within a month to six weeks, and that he will not descend to the level
of seven pounds to the dollar . The Central bank has allowed the pound of a 3 percent decline on Sunday.
and Monday as the dollar rate of exchange reached six pounds
and thirty five Piasters in the last trading between banks
on Monday.
So, let's take a look at the dollar against the pound . We stand now at 6,9, 30 again we have the lowest levels
historically on the level of the pound against the dollar .
Omani finance minister said that his country will continue in spending on job creation
This year , 56,000 jobs will be created this year compared to 36,000 jobs created last year through spending 300 million
Omani riyals. He added that actual expenditures last year registered 10 billion riyals
Revenues exceeded expectations, recording 14 billion Riyals, with a surplus of one billion Riyals. This is the end of

Information security and computer programs experts uncovered that they failed to introduce anti virus programs capable
of fully confronting new viruses and malicious software despite spending billions of dollars in this field
After cyberspace has become a yard where electronic wars are launched by bodies and institutions to undermine their
opponents, the number of fatal electronic viruses in the world has increased
in millions as reported by experts in information management and computer software. Anti-virus engineers have disclosed
a new secret that casts dark shadows
on the cyberspace
Digital software and products invented to combat new viruses are unable to fully confront malicious software
and the reason is attributed to quickly inventing new malicious viruses
and spreading them and transferring their infection very quickly, the thing which prompted information and computer
companies to look for effective modern methods to confront modern electronic viruses. In 2000, the number of Trojan
viruses
and malicious software did not exceed one million virus, most of them were made by amateurs. However, in 2010, the
number jumped to 49 million viruses, according to a German research institute that tests anti-virus products.
New software could not confront the spreading malware,
mainly the viruses of website espionage, which allow the
breach of date and secrets of major companies and transfer
them, and other viruses known as date viruses that cancel
data or polluted it
and disable it and breach banking accounts and delete them.
The new cyber threat pushes the most important computer and software companies to test its anti-virus software, so they
had to put 82 new viruses
in the face of 40 anti-virus software, but these software
could not diagnose more than 5% for the deadly viruses and
this is a disastrous result
Although consumers and businesses spent more than USD7 billion last year on anti-virus software, but the number is
likely to double this year to ensure protecting the security of companies
from electronic viruses and malicious software. Kifah El Zein , Al - Arabiya

Some might replace their regular cigarette with an electronic one thinking it will help them quit smoking
and that it is less harmful since it does not contain tobacco. Let's watch more detail in the following report
There was a furious debate between scientists and
specialists on the advantages and disadvantages of
electronic cigarettes and its effectiveness in helping
smokers to quit smoking. However, a new Italian report warns
people from using electronic cigarettes
The report affirms that these cigarettes do not help smokers quit. New research uncovered that the electronic cigarettes
could pose health problems because they are not nicotine free
as some believes. The electronic cigarette saves nicotine through vapor instead of smoke
provided by traditional smoking. It is known that nicotine
is a main cause of heart and artery diseases, and lung
cancer, and brain blood clots.
Electronic cigarette heats nicotine and turns it into a vapor to be inhaled.
and it becomes less concentrated after a few puffs, so the smoker has to increase the concentration of the puffs to
increase the amount of inhaled nicotine,
thus affecting bronchi.
It also significantly harms the lungs. Yet the concentration of nicotine in the electronic cigarette remains less than
that found in the regular cigarettes. The use of electronic cigarettes was
a trace of hope for many smokers.
since it was less harmful, but the recent research proved it to be equally unsafe
and a potential health risk on the long term. The researchers advised smokers to completely quit smoking
