Transcription: "With a crested head, black mask around its eyes and brilliant red body, the Northern Cardinal is one of the most famous birds in North America.
It is a mid-sized songbird that lives in wooded areas and has a distinct orange beak shaped perfectly for eating seeds which make up the majority of its diet.
The Northern Cardinal does not migrate. It is a year-round resident whose range extends from southern Canada to Mexico on the eastern half of the continent.
The plumage of the males feathers is much brighter and more vibrant than that of the females it is trying to attract.
It learns its song, so the tune of the cardinal will vary by region.
This beautiful bird is named after the cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church who wore red robes and caps.
It is the state bird in seven states - North Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia."

Vigilance movements to continue to very heart of Europe (2011/05/04 - 17:21)
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the vigilance movements now underway in west of Asia and northern Africa are a continuation of the grand movement of the Iranian nation.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks on Wednesday morning while receiving thousands of teachers from all over the country who were meeting with him on the occasion of the national Teachers Week.
Islamic Revolution Leader stressed that such movements would undoubtedly continue to the very heart of Europe to awaken and inspire the European nations against their politicians and statesmen who are utterly in service of US and Zionist cultural and economic schemes.
Emphasizing that such an awakening in Europe was nothing to avoid, Leader of the Islamic Revolution noted that continuation of vigilance movements of this kind in due speed and strength demanded that resisting, faithful, insightful and knowledgeable people are raised and educated.
Ayatollah Khamenei further pointed to the very basic mission of teachers in the Islamic system which is to educate and bring up human beings in accordance with the ideals and values of the Islamic Republic and said that fulfilling such a task called for adopting an independent and advanced Iranian-Islamic paradigm.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah\\\\\\\'s Speech on July 26, 2011, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Lebanon\\\\\\\'s Divine Victory against the Zionists in 2006.
His eminence hailed the determination and the unwavering commitment of the Resistance Fighters who miraculously remained at the battle fronts throughout the 33days of Israel\\\\\\\'s attack on Lebanon. The Secretary General refuted Israel\\\\\\\'s claims that the war against Lebanon accomplished a few goals including securing Israel\\\\\\\'s northern boarders with Palestine and preventing the Secretary General from appearing publically.
His eminence maintained that the strategic accomplishment of the July 2006 War on Lebanon was destroying the Israelis\\\\\\\' confidence in their own army and government. He also emphasized that Israel should forget about its dreams in Lebanon, for the Zionists will only experience defeat.
Sayyed Nasrallah also addressed the issue of Lebanon\\\\\\\'s natural resources, of which Israel has already attempted to taken possession. The Secretary General stated that \\\\\\\"whoever harms the future maritime Lebanese projects, will face the same damage and Israel knows that Lebanon is capable of such damage.\\\\\\\" To conclude, Sayyed Nasrallah reassured the public that the Resistance is indeed stronger than ever despite innumerable attempts to tarnish its reputation.

[05 June 2012] Clashes continue in Northern Lebanon - English
A day of mourning in the Northern Lebanese city of Tripoli following clashes described as the deadliest in decades. 15 people killed and tens wounded after rival pro and anti Syrian Lebanese groups faced off for the second time in less than a month.
Despite a cautious calm following two days of warfare, life was far from normal in the neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab -Al-Tabaneh. Most shops remain closed and tensions remain high between the Allawite pro-Syrian and Sunni anti-Syrian neighborhoods. With each side blaming the other for instigating the violence, sectarianism has reached its peak and hence the worse is probably yet to come.

The UN human rights office says a soaring number of executions in northern Syria could amount to war crimes.
In a statement released on Thursday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has warned militants and armed opposition groups that such executions violate international humanitarian law. Pillay said her office has received reports of a series of mass executions of civilians and soldiers in Aleppo, Idlib and Raqqah by militants, especially by al-Qaeda affiliates, fighting the Syrian government. Pillay says exact numbers are hard to verify, but many civilians and soldiers in the custody of militants have been executed since the beginning of this year.

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.
