The Roman Catholic Church came in for blistering criticism from a UN committee that was quizzing its representatives for the first time. 

Critics say the Vatican enabled the rape of thousands of children by protecting paedophile priests to save its reputation.

While the Church\'s envoys have now admitted the Holy See was slow to address the crisis, they say it has now drawn up clear guidelines to protect children from predatory priests.

Al Jazeera\'s Simon McGregor-Wood reports from Geneva.

Reports from Germany say that talks with the United States to get a \'no spying\' agreement look set to fail. Lengthy discussion have been ongoing since America\'s NSA was exposed snooping on its ally at the highest levels - leaving Germany furious and comparing it to the notorious  East German Secret Police. President Obama\'s expected to unveil a proposal this week to spring clean the NSA\'s activities - but critics don\'t expect much. The editor-in-chief of the German global current affairs magazine Compact Jürgen Elsässer isn\'t convinced that Washington will ever agree to give up spying on Berlin.

Rafik Hariri is commemorated in numerous Beirut locations. This brings the respect of some passers-by, and the opposite from certain others. 

Nine years after his assassination, there may be more revelations to come, and some may endanger the stability of Lebanon.

Hariri was prime minister five times, notably from 2000-2004 when the United Nations demanded that Syria withdraw its military apparatus from Lebanon and called for the Hezbollah Shiite militia to cease activities there.

Hariri\'s increasingly bold anti-Syria stance preceded his murder, although he was no longer prime minister when it happened, on 14 February, 2005. More than one tonne of explosives destroyed his motorcade. Twenty other people were also killed. 

Many people immediately believed the dark hand of Damascus was behind it. 

Lebanon was left reeling. But out of it swiftly grew the Cedar Revolution. This series of public demonstrations called for the Syrian troops to leave, and for a government free of influence by Syrian interests. 

One month after Hariri\'s death, a giant rally was held on 15 March in Beirut. A million people came.
 
Less than a month later, the Syrian\'s left. 

Public pressure with international support had pushed them out, after 30 years there. 

For many Lebanese, it had felt like three decades of occupation and manipulation of the nation\'s politics.

Yet the Syrian shadow did not disappear. The Shiite-Sunni divide remained. More attacks and assassinations followed. The key targets were anyone outspoken in their criticism of Syria\'s President Assad and his faithful allies Hezbollah.
 
The trial of Hariri\'s suspected killers carries a risk that strong tensions could flare up again. Lebanon was already prey to a deep political and institutional crisis when war developed in Syria. 

Analyst Rami Khouri with the American University in Beirut speculated about the present trial strengthening Lebanon\'s institutions.

Khouri said: \

Fighting is raging between al Qaeda-backed militants and Iraq\'s security forces for control of two key cities in the embattled Anbar province, even as a deal was in place with Sunni tribesmen to fight alongside Iraqi police against the militant group.

The renewed violence in the Sunni province has raised concern about the stability of the government amid dueling claims by the terror group and security forces over who was in control of Falluja and Ramadi.

The Iraqi civil war never really ended it just went off the boil for a while. Last year, the heat was turned back to high, with the number of civilian deaths from political violence doubling to roughly 8,000 people over the previous year, the highest civilian death toll since at least 2008.

Security forces backed by tanks on battled militants in Iraq\'s Anbar province, where fighting has displaced thousands and sparked warnings of rights abuses and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Some of the most significant fighting appeared to be in Falluja, where the U.S. military fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war, with militants planting al Qaeda flags on buildings.

Gunmen calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, formerly known as al Qaeda in Iraq, took to a stage before thousands of Sunnis following Friday prayers in Falluja.

Syria Civil War 2013 - Battlefield Syria: Heavy Fighting Clashes And Firefights. Heavy Fighting, Heavy Clashes and Intense Firefights. This pictures do we get if we look up the internet for Syria Videos. No war ever before was so well documented  by alternatet sources like the Syrian Civil War. In 2013 there was such an high amount and flood of informations, pictures and videos about this conflict that it is impossible to cover them all up in just one video. This compilation brings back some famous scenes of the conflict that apeared on the net in 2013. It shows footage of the Syrian Army and also of the Syrian Rebells in HD. It dont seems like this storm of raw information will end in 2014 as there is still no end of the conflict in sign.

Description and Timeline of the Happenings:
00:11-1:15 T72 oboard GoPro films Syrian Army Bmp driving on an IED during SAA Assault on Rebel held positions in Damascus. 

1:15-2:44 T72 onboard GoPro films Rebel ambush on firendly T72 Tank wich results in the lost of one Tank. The View also switches to the rebel perspective and shows their view on the Tank Unit.

2:44-6:26 Al-Nusra Front in heavy intense urban fighting firefight action against government forces in Deir-eZ Zor. The Al-Nusra Front is a radical islamists group fighting to establish a religious state under the sharia law in Syria. 

6:26-8:27 Members of the Islamic Front in heavy fighting against government forces in Eastern Ghouta during the rebel Ghouta Offensive. The Islamic Front is a merger of seven rebel groups involved in the Syrian civil war who joined their forces together in November 2013.

discussed if the fighter seen in the Video are regular FSA rebels or radical militants from outside but according to their group behaviour,comunication and movement during the whole combat situation it is very likely that they are sunni ex-army members who defected to the Free Syrian Army. Also you can see a kuran lying in the dirt next to him. Radical islamists wouldnt do this because for them the kuran is to holy to let him lying on the ground. Also their accents where clearly identyfied to be strong Syrian Aleppo Accents wich means they are Syrians.

This brings the respect of some passers-by, and the opposite from certain others. Nine years after his assassination, there may be more revelations to come, and some may endanger the stability of Lebanon. Hariri was prime minister five times, notably from 2000-2004 when the United Nations demanded that Syria withdraw its military apparatus from Lebanon and called for the Hezbollah Shiite militia to cease activities there. Hariri's increasingly bold anti-Syria stance preceded his murder, although he was no longer prime minister when it happened, on 14 February, 2005. More than one tonne of explosives destroyed his motorcade. Twenty other people were also killed. Many people immediately believed the dark hand of Damascus was behind it. Lebanon was left reeling. But out of it swiftly grew the Cedar Revolution. This series of public demonstrations called for the Syrian troops to leave, and for a government free of influence by Syrian interests. One month after Hariri's death, a giant rally was held on 15 March in Beirut. A million people came. Less than a month later, the Syrian's left. Public pressure with international support had pushed them out, after 30 years there. For many Lebanese, it had felt like three decades of occupation and manipulation of the nation's politics. Yet the Syrian shadow did not disappear. The Shiite-Sunni divide remained. More attacks and assassinations followed. The key targets were anyone outspoken in their criticism of Syria's President Assad and his faithful allies Hezbollah. The trial of Hariri's suspected killers carries a risk that strong tensions could flare up again. Lebanon was already prey to a deep political and institutional crisis when war developed in Syria. Analyst Rami Khouri with the American University in Beirut speculated about the present trial strengthening Lebanon's institutions. Khouri said: "I don't think the court itself - even if it has a clear verdict - is going to stop other political assassinations, unfortunately, because these have been going on for decades and will continue to go on. So the real issue is: will this court help the Lebanese authorities, the political, judicial and police authorities, to have a stronger capability and a stronger will to actually deal with these issues internally?" The Hariri trial and the Syrian conflict are both linked to Lebanon's divisions. Hezbollah sides with Assad against the rebels, firmly convinced that the US and Israel are conspiring with designs on Syria.

Iraqi Security Forces Fighting Militants In Falluja And Ramadi, Anbar Province
Iraqi Security Forces Fighting Militants In Falluja And Ramadi, Anbar Province
  • Order:
  • Duration: 8:19
  • Updated: 09 Jan 2014
Fighting is raging between al Qaeda-backed militants and Iraq's security forces for control of two key cities in the embattled Anbar province, even as a deal was in place with Sunni tribesmen to fight alongside Iraqi police against the militant group. The renewed violence in the Sunni province has raised concern about the stability of the government amid dueling claims by the terror group and security forces over who was in control of Falluja and Ramadi. The Iraqi civil war never really ended it just went off the boil for a while. Last year, the heat was turned back to high, with the number of civilian deaths from political violence doubling to roughly 8,000 people over the previous year, the highest civilian death toll since at least 2008. Security forces backed by tanks on battled militants in Iraq's Anbar province, where fighting has displaced thousands and sparked warnings of rights abuses and a worsening humanitarian crisis. Some of the most significant fighting appeared to be in Falluja, where the U.S. military fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war, with militants planting al Qaeda flags on buildings. Gunmen calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, formerly known as al Qaeda in Iraq, took to a stage before thousands of Sunnis following Friday prayers in Falluja. "We call you to join us in our fight against the government of Nuri al-Maliki," one of the gunman said through a bullhorn. Authorities say gunmen have attacked an Iraqi army barracks north of Baghdad, killing 12 soldiers meaning that the militant attacks are spreading beyond Anbar. Human rights activists have condemned abuses by both government troops and insurgents in Iraq's Anbar province. "Apparently unlawful methods of fighting by all sides have caused civilian casualties," Human Rights Watch said in a report. The rights group criticised Iraqi forces and militants for carrying out attacks in residential areas. It comes as troops prepare to launch a major assault against al-Qaeda-linked militants in the city of Falluja. Map of Falluja: http://adf.ly/bsdWJ Map of Ramadi: http://adf.ly/bsdcQ
