BBC Address for last week's article and Classic Film

Hi everyone,

I am posting the bbc web address for last week's article about Syrian - Lebanese relations. It will also enable everyone to access the video news report. The address is:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/arabic/middle_east_news/newsid_7670000/7670905.stm


I have also found on YouTube, a very interesting film of a music performance made in Egypt in 1962 called El Watan El Akbar, at the height of Arab nationalism. There is a reference to it in one of the El Kitab Part 1 episodes. It has a lot of famous performers in it, and reflects the mood of a particular time in the history of Egypt, Syria etc.

The addresses are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbuaJJsUjYY for Part 1,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz1zahYrf2E for part 2.

There is also a version with English subtitles at:

See you soon,

David
