As the war in Syria drags into its third year, a growing number of Takfiri and Salafist extremists affiliated to al-Qaeda are making their way into the ranks of militants fighting Bashar al-Assad.
The secretary general of Hezbollah says these extremists are killing Shias, Sunnis, Christians and others in Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and elsewhere.
Observers say the policy of support for insurgents in Syria is only giving extremists a stronger foothold and making their threat to the region and the world even more serious; like what happened in London where a serving solider was butchered to death.

Lebanon\\\'s resistance movement Hezbollah has killed at least 20 anti-Syria militants from the so-called Free Syrian Army near the border with Lebanon. Reports say the number of casualties following the Sunday clash is likely to increase after the bodies are retrieved. Earlier in the day, at least two rockets launched from Syria hit the northeastern Lebanese town of Hermel in Bekaa Valley.
Foreign-backed militants in Syria have previously been involved in rocket attacks on Lebanese border areas. Turmoil has gripped Syria since March 2011 and the foreign-sponsored militancy has taken its toll on the lives of many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel. On this edition of the debate, we ask why some are saying the Syrian conflict is becoming an Israeli proxy war against the resistance front.

We will also ask our guests how UK\\\'s foreign policy involving wars in Muslim countries may provoke more acts, threatening UK\\\'s national security.

A city with an altered face; the Iranian capital Tehran preparing for the vote on Friday and the heated atmosphere is everywhere. The people\'s normal commute to home and work has now become full of election banners and not just that but also rallies of supporters and campaigners. I started my journey from Tehran\'s northern Tajrish square were things were not that loud but campaigners were passing out CDs and brochures about their candidate and had opened their doors to talk to the people and make them decide on their candidate of choice. Most of the campaigns here were for Presidential Candidate Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf with their white scarves.

The inhumane and degrading treatment of children is endemic in many countries. But the situation in the Ukraine is worse, as the lack of data makes the magnitude of the problem difficult to ascertain.

As the leaders of the world\'s eight most powerful economies - or G8 - prepare to meet in northern Ireland next week, anti-capitalist and anti-war campaigners made their voices heard.
Even though the rain teemed down intermittently, spirits weren\'t dampened.
The awful weather hasn\'t stopped thousands of people marching through the center of Belfast today. There are several different groups here from anti-capitalists to anti-war campaigners. But basically the message is the same, they want the G8 leaders to govern on behalf of the people rather than just the rich and powerful.

India has the worst record of crimes against women in the world even though many people do not report it to avoid public disgrace. The major cities of India are becoming increasingly unsafe for women, and the government seems to have failed to tackle the problem.
The recent rape case that occurred in New Delhi was alarming to the Indian society. The criminals go without trials and the ultimate sufferers are women. On this week\'s INFocus we discuss the status of women in India and what measures the government has taken against the crimes as well as a review on the Indian legal system.

MATERIAL: Six Stranded Embroidery Floss (DMC Brand)
PATTERN INFO:
This is just a simple candy stripe.
You will need 4 colors cut about 20\\\" (inches) long for practicing purposes.
If you are more advanced make sure you cut your strings about 55\\\" (inches) long (and then folded to form a loop) so you have enough string to make a complete bracelet with ties. Remember, you can also double up on colors to make a thicker stripe.
Just set them up as 1 2 3 4 (or 11 2 33 2 for the thumbnail) and starting with the first string on the left (always) make three forward knots across the bracelet. When you get to the end pick up the new first string and repeat the forward knotting across the other three strings.
Continue forward knotting across until the desired length is achieved!

Figures released by the Committee of French Car Makers show that in the past 6 months, the number of new cars sold in the country has dropped by 11 percent compared to last year\'s figures. French brands dominate the country\'s roads. And they are the biggest victims too. Peugeot Citroen has lost 9,5 percent of the market figures and Renault has lost 4 percent in just one month : a clear sign that the French now see cars as less of a necessity. The forecasts for the next six months show the car industry will continue to go suffer in the coming months. New figures now show the French car industry is now in deep trouble. Experts say this will certainly have a great impact on the French economy. This leaves almost no doubt that France is in a recession and may not escape it anytime soon.

While length and rules differ, the act of fasting, abstaining from food or from certain types of food is prescribed in all major world religions today.
One of the pillars of the religion of Islam is indeed fasting; whereby Muslims are told to fast from dawn till dusk for a period of 30 days, in a month named Ramadan.
Though it may seem a harsh or peculiar act, fasting in Islam is performed to attain closeness to Allah and has been described as one of the best deeds by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Fasting has also provides experience of hunger and thirst to the believers and thus develops a deeper understanding and sympathy to those in poorer parts of the world.
This week\'s Islam and Life asks: What is the purpose of fasting in Ramadan?

Egyptian army has increased its crackdown on tunnels between Gaza and Egypt following the toppling of President Mohammed Morsi. These days, you can see Egyptian bulldozers destroying tunnels along the border with Gaza more than any time in the past. Egyptian army has also deployed tanks which have pointed their guns towards Gaza.
The once bustling tunnels area nestled between the southern town of Rafah and the Sinai Peninsula looks more like a ghost town. There\'s no more transfer of goods or other vital commodities via the underground lifeline for the blockaded coastal enclave.

MATERIAL: Six Stranded Embroidery Floss (DMC BRAND)
INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need 65\" (inches) of string if doubling the strings, 35\" (inches) if you\'re using individual colors.
Basically you just need to make a bunch of forward knots from left to right and then when you want to reverse just start making backward knots from right to left.
It\'s a very simple bracelet and can be done with as many strings as you want!
NOTE: I realized after I had completed this video that the girl who requested it actually asked for the FLIP-FLOP zig-zag pattern- so I need to re-do this and go get the flip-flop done.
That\'s not an issue, though. I\'m sure there was someone out there that was wondering how to do the plain zig-zag bracelets so I am going to post the video anyway!
So yeah, I\'m off to make the flip-flop version. If that\'s the one you want just click the annotation at the end of the video and it will take you right to the pattern! Thanks for watching!

Supporters and opponents of Egypt\'s deposed President Mohamed Morsi have remained on the streets, holding protests as tensions continue to rise across the country. Morsi\'s supporters on Sunday held marches to Rabia al-Adawiya Square and Al-Nahda Square close to Cairo University, demanding his return to power. Anti-Morsi demonstrators gathered in Cairo\'s iconic Liberation Square and around the presidential palace. On July 3, General Sisi announced that President Morsi was no longer in office.
The chief justice of Egypt\'s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, was sworn in as interim president of Egypt on July 4. Strong Egypt Party leader Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh has called on the interim president to step down. Growing differences among political parties have delayed the nomination of an interim prime minister in the North African country.

The 1929 Nile Waters Agreement was signed between Egypt and Britain on behalf of Sudan and the East African countries who share the waters of Lake Victoria with the aim of increasing the volume of water flowing into Egypt. But analysts say this agreement was drawn in favor of Egypt and therefore neglecting the interests of other countries.
According to experts, the agreement has a clause that forbids any irrigation or power projects along the Nile without Egypt\'s consent since this could threaten the volume of water reaching Egypt.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar in which Muslims fast and abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. Fasting in this month is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
The month of Ramadan reaches its peak when Muslims observe the grand nights of Glory. These nights are believed to be better than thousand nights as Muslims believe that the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad on these nights. Therefore people stay awake overnight praying and reciting the holy Qoran.
The Philosophy of fasting lies in the evolution of body and soul, because it has been said that: healthy mind is in the healthy body. The month-long fasting month of Ramadan ends on the first day of the lunar month of Shawaal which is celebrated as the Eid-Al-Fitr.
