[19 July 2012] Obama drones akin to Bush torture - English
Relatives of three US citizens killed in non-UN sanctioned US assassination drone strikes in Yemen have sued senior officials at the US Defense Department and the CIA.
According to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, the killings of US-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and naturalized US citizen Samir Khan were unconstitutional, Reuters reported.
The victims' relatives said that the three assassinations committed by the CIA violated US legal guarantees, including the right to due process.
On January 31, President Obama confirmed that the US uses the unmanned drones in Pakistan and other countries.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, human rights & war crimes lawyer, to further discuss the issue.

[29 July 2012] Tremendous work to restructure Egypt - English
The new Egyptian prime minister has postponed the announcement of a new cabinet until next Thursday.
Hisham Qandil has been in consultations with candidates since President Mohamed Morsi appointed him to the post of prime minister last week.
The 50-year-old former irrigation minister has stated that he will pick ministers based on their competence, and says he might include many technocrats in his government.
The new team will replace another group appointed by the generals of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), which took power in February 2011 after the Egyptians launched a revolution against the pro-Israeli regime in January, which eventually brought an end to the 30-year dictatorship of former President Hosni Mubarak.
Under a constitutional declaration issued on June 17, SCAF took control of the state budget and gave itself veto power over a new constitution, diminishing President Morsi's powers.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Abayomi Azikiwe, director of Pan-African News Wire, from Detroit, to further discuss the issue.

[29 July 2012] Pakistan US to sign draft pack on NATO supply routes - English
Pakistan will not allow the transportation of weapons or dangerous materials, including arms and ammunition in any circumstances through its routes to the US-led forces fighting in Afghanistan, says the draft of the 16-clause memorandum of understanding (MoU) to be signed between Islamabad and Washington.
The draft which says the written accord has been drafted in accordance with the UN charter allows only the transportation of non-lethal cargo, including food, medicines, equipment and material for capacity building of the Afghan National Security Forces. These will be allowed to pass through the strategic routes which were recently reopened by Islamabad after a seven-month blockade.

Mansour Arbabsiar, an Iranian-American used car salesman, was arrested at New York\'s John F. Kennedy International Airport on September 29, 2011.

Iranian presidential candidate, Mohsen Rezaei, says if elected, he would minimize the role of the government in running economic activities and create a multicultural economy independent of oil money.
He criticized the countries oil-dependent economy as the root of all problems faced by different administrations in the past decade. The secretary of Iran\'s Expediency Council also stated that his economic \"revolution\" would consist of such components as facilitating tourism, expanding trade, stepping up production in various fields, and exporting non-oil products.
Rezaei said he plans to widely install \"mobile refineries\" in different provinces, especially in border areas, and sell their products to make up for nearly one million barrels of crude oil which Iran has not been able to sell due to Western sanctions
