add video playlist Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta promised new measures to lift the economy on Tuesday, after weeks of tension over the slow pace of reform fanned speculation that he could be replaced as premier by his party leader Matteo Renzi. Renzi, who took over the center-left Democratic Party in December, has said the government would be better off calling new elections, if it is unable to push reforms more effectively, and has openly criticized his party colleague Letta. Italy, the euro zone's third largest economy, sorely needs reforms to emerge from its longest postwar recession and curb unemployment--which is now at its highest level since at least the 1970s. However, progress has been held up by political infighting. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/Reuters/worldNews/~3/44ptwrEy7T4/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com

Syrian Civil War 2014 - Islamic Front In Heavy Clashes In Aleppo\'s Southern Countryside |Syria War. Heavy Fighting, Firefights and Clashes between the Islamic Front and government troops supportet by shia hizbollah militias are still going on on a daily basis in Aleppo\'s Southern Countryside.

Fierce battles have taken place between Syrian Army and the Islamic battalions around al-Nairab airport in Aleppo countryside, as a result, the Syrian Army claims to have managed to advance and regain control on al-Hneifeh area.

As a result he Aleppo International Airport was targeted by the Islamic Front with Grad Rockets. 

The Islamic Front itself claims to have made major advances to break the siege of Aleppo´s Marjah district by regaining full control over the villages of Al Aziza and Sheik Lutfi by clearing it from shia hizbollah presence that is using a new type of probably iranian reconnaissance drones. This drones can bee seen in the video around the 1:57 minute mark.

There are also reports of Syrian Air Force Helicopters dropping barrel bombs on rebel held areas. The Islamic Front started to use captured regime howitzers to shoot down these helicopters as you can see around 6:06 even if this tactic inst particularly promising.

During their assault in Aziza the Islamic Front managed to bomb a builing inwich Shiite militias where stationed. The builing was totaly destroyed and many causalitys on the Shiite militia site where reported.

The Attack was mainly held out by former members of the Ahrar ash-Sham Brigade and the so called Army of the Mujahideen but more islamic movements where involved in the fight.

The Islamic Front is a merger of seven rebel groups involved in the Syrian civil war that was announced on 22 November 2013.

With about 40.000 - 60.000 fighters the Islamic Front is one of the most strongest rebel fraction in the Syrian Civil War 2014.

Since 2014 there haven been also reports of fierce clashes between the Islamic Front and members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in the same area around Aleppo\'s Southern Countryside so all in all the situation on the frontline isnt clear and it is hard to tell who is dominating the battlefield at this time because as said before the fighting goes on on a daily basis and the situation can change every hour.

China and Taiwan held their first government-to-government talks since they split 65 years ago after a brutal civil war - a symbolic yet historic move between the former bitter rivals, AFP news agency reported.

Taiwan is likely to focus on reaping practical outcomes from the discussions, such as securing economic benefits or security assurances, while China has one eye on long-term integration of the island, analysts say.

Tuesday\'s meeting is the fruit of years of efforts to improve relations.

Italy PM Vows Reforms As Tensions With Renzi Grow
Italy PM Vows Reforms As Tensions With Renzi Grow
  • Order:
  • Duration: 0:57
  • Updated: 12 Feb 2014
Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta promised new measures to lift the economy on Tuesday, after weeks of tension over the slow pace of reform fanned speculation that he could be replaced as premier by his party leader Matteo Renzi. Renzi, who took over the center-left Democratic Party in December, has said the government would be better off calling new elections, if it is unable to push reforms more effectively, and has openly criticized his party colleague Letta. Italy, the euro zone's third largest economy, sorely needs reforms to emerge from its longest postwar recession and curb unemployment--which is now at its highest level since at least the 1970s. However, progress has been held up by political infighting. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/Reuters/worldNews/~3/44ptwrEy7T4/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com

Syrian Civil War 2014 - Islamic Front In Heavy Clashes In Aleppo's Southern Countryside |Syria War. Heavy Fighting, Firefights and Clashes between the Islamic Front and government troops supportet by shia hizbollah militias are still going on on a daily basis in Aleppo's Southern Countryside. Fierce battles have taken place between Syrian Army and the Islamic battalions around al-Nairab airport in Aleppo countryside, as a result, the Syrian Army claims to have managed to advance and regain control on al-Hneifeh area. As a result he Aleppo International Airport was targeted by the Islamic Front with Grad Rockets. The Islamic Front itself claims to have made major advances to break the siege of Aleppo´s Marjah district by regaining full control over the villages of Al Aziza and Sheik Lutfi by clearing it from shia hizbollah presence that is using a new type of probably iranian reconnaissance drones. This drones can bee seen in the video around the 1:57 minute mark. There are also reports of Syrian Air Force Helicopters dropping barrel bombs on rebel held areas. The Islamic Front started to use captured regime howitzers to shoot down these helicopters as you can see around 6:06 even if this tactic inst particularly promising. During their assault in Aziza the Islamic Front managed to bomb a builing inwich Shiite militias where stationed. The builing was totaly destroyed and many causalitys on the Shiite militia site where reported. The Attack was mainly held out by former members of the Ahrar ash-Sham Brigade and the so called Army of the Mujahideen but more islamic movements where involved in the fight. The Islamic Front is a merger of seven rebel groups involved in the Syrian civil war that was announced on 22 November 2013. With about 40.000 - 60.000 fighters the Islamic Front is one of the most strongest rebel fraction in the Syrian Civil War 2014. Since 2014 there haven been also reports of fierce clashes between the Islamic Front and members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in the same area around Aleppo's Southern Countryside so all in all the situation on the frontline isnt clear and it is hard to tell who is dominating the battlefield at this time because as said before the fighting goes on on a daily basis and the situation can change every hour.

China and Taiwan held their first government-to-government talks since they split 65 years ago after a brutal civil war - a symbolic yet historic move between the former bitter rivals, AFP news agency reported.
