► Kavkazcente 30 April 2012 : Angel or hero? An interesting video clip recorded in Syria has been posted on the Internet. The video shows a wounded man who lays on a road. People are hiding and can not approach him as the street is shelled by the Alawites. There are shouts, and people rushing around, not knowing how to help the wounded. At this moment, a person in completely white clothes appears at the background. He behaves unnaturally quiet and shows no emotions. The man in white approaches the wounded man (whose weight is not less than 80 kg.) slowly, without quickening his steps, and calmly, without a visible effort, picks him up. Then he carries the wounded man with one hand only and brings to the crowd of people. After that, he disappears in the video. As pointed out by the witnesses of the incident, the unidentified person was dressed in impeccably white robe, which obviously does not dock with the situation of war, dirt, dust, incessant shellings and destruction. Sources in Syria say that this was not the only case when witnesses saw some persons in white clothes, who participated in battles against the Alawites and helped Muslims. This story is just one of those rare occasions when such incidents were videotaped. The Muslims are asking: Who are these persons - angels or heroes?

► SANDS OF IWO JIMA. Nominated for 4 Oscars. Another 1 win. John Marion Stryker is the ultimate Marine, a tough rifle squad leader who in 1943 is assigned a squad of new recruits saddled with three veterans and an old enemy of Stryker's from previous duties in the Far East. One recruit in particlar is a source of friction with Stryker, Peter Conway, whose father was Stryker's CO at Guadalcanal and who felt his son was too soft and cowardly to be a Marine. The squad grows more and more resentful at Stryker's increasingly brutal training regimen and his lack of sympathy for the varied personal problems of the recruits, but his determination to mold them into fighting men helps save their lives when the squad is landed at Tarawa in November 1943 and Stryker risks his life to blow up a Japanese bunker that has slaughtered Marines trapped at a log wall. The now battle-tested squad becomes more closely-knit and Stryker's relationship with the men warms as the squad eventually finds itself in the bloodiest island battle of the war, at Iwo Jima.

► Our War: Ambushed. As a prior-service U.S. Marine currently serving in the U.S. Army, I found this doc to be an eye opener. Chronicling the exploits of the British 1st Battalion Royal Anglian as captured by the Soldiers themselves, the footage shot by these men was only recently declassified by the MoD. It has since been compiled to tell their story via a BBC documentary series titled "Our War". Watch. Reel. Learn. Dedicated to the 1st Battalion Royal Anglian, the International Security Assistance Force, and those who did not make it home. Uploaded on Jun 17, 2011 by Bryan Ott.

► BBC HARDtalk - Femi Kuti - Nigerian musician and political activist (9/7/12). As Africa's most populous nation and one of its biggest oil producers, Nigeria is a giant on the African stage. But in terms of prosperity it has never fulfilled the expectations of its people.
Zeinab Badawi talks to musician and political activist Femi Kuti, son of the late, legendary musician Fela Kuti. He is a constant thorn in the side of the authorities and uses his songs to criticise government and speak up on behalf of the poor and dispossessed. But with fantastic rates of growth in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, is Femi Kuti being overly pessimistic about Nigeria's prospects?

■ Kew reorders collection of seven million plants. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the world's first DNA Bank for plants. Based at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, it was the start of efforts around the world to use DNA sequencing to probe the genetic secrets of the world of flora. Two decades on, and new technology has transformed botany - turning what we thought we knew about plants on its head, as well as paving the way for new technologies such as GM and genomics. But the findings have led to some plants being re-categorised according to their DNA rather than their appearance, and for links to be made between plants that were previously thought to be unrelated. All of that has meant that Kew's seven million preserved plant specimens have had to be reorganised - no small task. Video Journalist: Tom Beal.

To the Muslims, do not be fooled by their doings, let alone issue a decision to support a terrorist militia to attack fellow Muslims. Their goal is to create friction among Muslims, to dominate the oil market and to sell weapons to the Islamic countries.
