For downloads and more info visit: www.journeyman.tv This powerful exclusive is the first film to access the Free Syrian Army's secret labyrinth of caves and also holds a rare interview with the FSA leader. A fascinating insight to how the battle for Syria is being fought. "Please don't film!" one fighter says, as two rebels argue in the pitch black over the presence of a journalist. In this increasingly violent war the rebels have been using their local knowledge to great advantage. And these 3000 year old caves are of huge strategic importance. "The army besieged us many times and we always slipped through." But local knowledge will only go so far and the rebels are hard pressed to counter the might of the Syrian army with limited resources. As one failed test run of a home-made mortar shows, they don't have much to work with. They are disheartened by months of fighting without help. "America and Europe hide behind the Russian veto. They lie to us." Even the head of the Free Syrian Army, Colonel Riad al-Assad, is unable to help. As rebel groups come to him for guidance he can only encourage coordination. When asked about the suicide bomb that killed the minister of defence he says, "This is an integral part of the revolutionary action. It could break the regime's back." As things get increasingly desperate, anything that hastens the end of the bloodshed in Syria will form a part of their strategy. SBS

www.euronews.com It was supposed to be gigantic Michael Jackson 'Thriller' themed party to celebrate Halloween in the Spanish capital. But the fun turned to tragedy when four young women were killed in a stampede as partygoers attempted to leave the Madrid Arena. Witnesses say the panic began after a flare was thrown into the crowd. Others described a scene of chaos, with lots of screaming and some people fainting. "There was a staircase. Then all of a sudden there was a rush of people and some of them stumbled; and there was a crush," described one man who attended the party. Another man said: "They did not say anything about the stampede inside the club. There was a moment when the music stopped, but nothing else. They didn't announce that something had happened." A third man who was inside the arena was also unaware of the tragedy: "We didn't notice anything. The party continued as normal and when the music stopped, people left at around 6.00 am which is the normal thing for a party." Local media said the four victims were aged between 18 and 25. Another woman is in a critical condition in hospital. An investigation has begun to determine whether the 12000 capacity venue was overcrowded.

President Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today flew over the Jersey Shore to assess the devastation that Superstorm Sandy left in its wake, stopping at a community center to reassure the storm's victims that state and federal officials are working together to help the state recover. "We are here for you," Mr. Obama told residents during a news conference following their tour. "We will follow up to make sure you get the help you need until you rebuild." Mr. Obama praised Christie's response to the storm, noting that he has been "aggressive in making sure the state got out in front of this storm. I think the people of New Jersey recognize he's put his heart and soul in making sure the people of New Jersey bounce back." He also thanked the state's congressional delegation, noting that they helped ensure that funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and thanked the first responders who put their neighbors' needs ahead of their own. "Our hearts go out to those families who have lost loved ones," Mr. Obama said. At least eight people in New Jersey died because of the storm. The president noted that while relatively few lives were lost, the people who lost loved ones have had their worlds "torn apart." The president said the government is taking an "all hands on deck" approach in its response to Sandy, with over 2000 FEMA personnel on the ground right now. "They are going out and talking to individual communities so people know how they can get the ...
