Police in riot gear and protesters continued to clash Saturday evening following a massive anti-G20 protest march through downtown Toronto that saw at least two police vehicles set ablaze, store and bank windows smashed, and much of the area put under security lockdowns.

The police cruisers were torched at the corner of King and Bay streets in the heart of the city's financial district, sending plumes of black smoke into the air. At one point, as one vehicle burned, protesters surrounded police officers who were trying to protect the car, CBC reporter Amber Hildebrandt reported on Twitter.

The size of the protest crowd was estimated to be as high as 10,000. Witnesses said tear gas had been used in the area around the provincial legislature at College and University, but police denied any had been used in the city.

Toronto Mayor David Miller said a small group of "thugs" are to blame for the violence.

“People are calling them protesters. That is not fair to the people who came to protest,” he said.

Toronto police Sgt. Tim Burrows said there have been minor injuries. He added he couldn't confirm how many people have been arrested.

The summit was set to begin later Saturday evening with a working dinner hosted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

With the violence escalating in the heart of Canada's largest city, the entire area around the summit site at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre — enclosed by concrete barricades and fences — is under a security lockdown.

Transit halted

The area's boundaries include Wellington Street to the north, Lakeshore and Bremner boulevards to the south, Windsor Street and Blue Jays Way to the west and a section of Bay Street to the east.

Subway service in downtown Toronto remained suspended, with no service in the loop between Bloor and St. George stations, and no streetcars or bus service, as well service in and out of Union Station has also been stopped.

The airspace over downtown Toronto has also been closed, as has the Gardiner Expressway, one of the city's major traffic arteries.

Some hospitals, hotels, businesses and the tourist attraction the Eaton Centre are also under lockdown.

As the demonstration started just after 1 p.m. ET at the Ontario legislature, the mood was upbeat and peaceful. Protesters danced, clapped and chanted while carrying signs, flags and umbrellas as they first moved from the legislature grounds down one of the city's main thoroughfares, University Avenue.

But the mood turned ugly as anarchists in a splinter groups broke away in attempts to move toward the summit site. They dress similar to members of the Black Block, a group that has used violence such as widespread vandalism in past G20 protests.

Group members are known for wearing black hoodies, masks, balaclavas and skateboard helmets.

As the hours went on, protesters smashed windows on both sides of Yonge Street at the normally busy shopping area in the Yonge-Dundas corridor. Witnesses said rioters smashed the info booth of the large Future Shop electronics store.

"It's a sizable crowd and getting bigger and bigger" in some areas, the CBC's Steven D'Souza reported. "It doesn't look too dangerous, but it is gathering momentum where I am right now."

'Why do they come here and make problems and make problems for every store?'— Myung Hwon Yang, store owner."

Steven Connor, who works at the Hard Rock Café near the Eaton Centre, said several glass store fronts were smashed, with some protesters using street pylons and road equipment, as some people were inside.

No one seemed to be injured, Connor said.

"There's been a lot of damage in the downtown core," the CBC's Michael Serapio reported.

Michael Hyatt, who was at a gym near Yonge and Dundas streets, said the protesters seemed to target a number of U.S.-based chains.

“It is pretty horrible what they have done to a lot of the stores here. They’ve destroyed the windows at an American Apparel — they destroyed all the windows and pulled out the mannequins and [threw] feces into the store.

“It stinks and it is unbelievable. Foot Locker is destroyed. Pizza Pizza is destroyed. They’ve kind of gone up the street and picked at every U.S. vendor they could find. It’s really kind of sad.”

Bricks, rocks thrown

On many downtown streets, many store windows were either broken with bricks or rocks, or defaced with graffiti. One bank on Queen Street West had its windows smashed, and a CBC van was damaged.

One convenience store owner said he was determined to stay open.

"It's important for countries to meet, but an island area is better. Why do they come here and make problems and make problems for every store?" Myung Hwon Yang told CBC News.

In one incident, a man dressed in red was arrested and then dragged screaming into a police van. As it happened, a large crowd gathered, denouncing police and chanting "Let him go."

Miller said police took thorough preparations ahead of the summit and did a "commendable job under difficult circumstances."

"I'm sure there have been small moments where perhaps there’s some tensions between a crowd and the police," Miller told reporters. "In the broad brush, I think we should be very confident in their work."

He added that Toronto police Chief Bill Blair had been very clear in recent days that authorities would facilitate a lawful, democratic protest, while expressing concern about groups who "come here just to perpetrate violence."

Surviving the G20 summit

"We've seen that his concern was justified," Miller said.

For the week leading up to the G20 Summit, thousands of protesters have descended on the streets of Canada's largest city — many visiting but largely drawn from its own communities.

Daily marches and rallies and mock summits have taken over parks and streets and buildings. Drumming, singing, chanting has supplanted the angry hornet strains of the World Cup vuvuzela.

We've heard about the numbers — 1,000 here, 200 there — and the causes, but what about the the faces in the crowd?

The following is a look at what brought the protesters to the streets this week, what drew them into activism in the first place and what, if they could tell the G20 one thing, their message would be.

Fri Jun 25, 11:53 AM : VIENNA (AFP) - An example of the largest gold coin in the world fetched 3.27 million euros (4.02 million dollars) at auction on Friday in Vienna, auction house Dorotheum said.

The coin -- measuring 53 centimetres (21 inches) in diameter and weighing 100 kilograms (220 pounds) -- was bought by Spanish precious metals firm Oro Direct.

The Maple Leaf coin, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and carries a face value of one million Canadian dollars (800,000 euros, 970,000 US dollars), was minted in Canada in 2007.

However, with gold currently trading close to record highs around 1,250 dollars an ounce, the coin was auctioned off for far more than its face value.

One side of the coin carries the image of Queen Elizabeth II, the official head of state of Canada, while the other side bears three maple leaves, the national symbol.

The coin was owned by Austrian investment firm AvW, which entered bankruptcy proceedings in May.

Since the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, he has been the consort — kneeling before, standing beside and walking behind the sovereign. It has been a public role, but often an empty and frustrating one.

And in performing it, Prince Philip — the Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh — has sometimes overshadowed himself with a number of vocal gaffes throughout the years.

Yet the prince has been credited for his particular interest in scientific and technological research and the environment and has been very vocal on those topics in his criticism of industry.

He's also keenly interested in youth issues. In 1956, he launched the Duke of Edinburgh's Award aimed at young people between 15 and 25, and made a point of encouraging disabled youth to participate in the program. In five decades, the program has drawn more than three million young Britons, making it one of the most successful youth programs in the world. In Canada, more than 37,000 young people are currently enrolled in the program.

Charles Anson, a former adviser to the Royal Family, says Philip's role has long been undervalued.

"I think he is a much underestimated man," Anson said. "I think he will be remembered as someone who made a major contribution in the way Prince Albert made a great contribution in Queen Victoria's reign."

Forced into exile

Philip was born a prince of both Greece and Denmark on June 10, 1921, on the dining-room table at his parents' home in Mon Repos, on the Greek island of Corfu.

Despite his birthplace, he has no Greek ancestry. His family tree includes members of the royal families of Denmark, Germany, Russia and Britain. His father was Prince Andrew of Greece, whose own father was the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark. Philip's mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, the eldest child of Prince Louis of Battenberg and the sister of Earl Mountbatten of Burma.

When the Greek monarchy was abolished, the one-year-old Philip and his family were forced into exile. The young Philip had to travel in a cot made from an orange box.

As a boy, he attended schools in England, Germany and Scotland before joining the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth, England, as a cadet in 1939.

Through his uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, the 18-year-old Philip was introduced to British royal circles. It was at this age he first met a 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth, his third cousin: both had Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandmother.

But as war broke out, he turned his attention to his naval career and quickly rose through the ranks. At the almost unprecedentedly young age of 21, he was appointed first lieutenant (second in command) of the destroyer HMS Wallace, which took part in the Allied landings at Sicily.

Courting a young princess

When he returned home in January 1946, Philip, who had kept in touch with Elizabeth, began courting the young princess. Their engagement was announced 18 months later.

Although most of the public embraced the union, some were unhappy with Philip's un-British origins and many began referring to him as "Phil the Greek." He silenced those critics when he became a British citizen in 1947 and renounced his Greek royal titles. He became Lt. Philip Mountbatten.

He and Elizabeth were married on Nov. 20, 1947, in Westminster Abbey in a wedding that helped boost British spirits still recovering from the war. He was designated a royal highness, created a knight of the Garter and awarded the title duke of Edinburgh.

'British women can't cook'

While carving out an independent role from the Queen, he has also established a reputation for blunt and controversial quips.

In 1966, he sparked outrage when he said, "British women can't cook." During a royal visit to China in 1986, he described Beijing as "ghastly" and told British students: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed."

He told a Briton he met in Hungary in 1993: "You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly."

He also dismissed stress counselling for servicemen in a TV documentary on the 50th anniversary of D-Day, saying, "It was part of the fortunes of war. We didn't have counsellors rushing around every time somebody let off a gun, asking, 'Are you all right? Are you sure you don't have a ghastly problem?' You just got on with it."

While his quips can offend, Philip is praised for his direct honesty.

Prince William told the BBC in November 2004 that he admires his grandfather's occasional bluntness.

"He will tell me something I don't want to hear and doesn't care if I get upset about it. He knows it's the right thing to say."

Accused in Diana's death

Philip came under intense scrutiny after Diana, the ex-wife of Philip's son, Prince Charles, died in a car crash with her companion, Dodi Fayed, in 1997.

Philip and the rest of the Royal Family initially went into seclusion after the accident, but Philip later made a strong statement at Diana's funeral, walking with his family behind her casket as it was carried in a carriage through the streets of London.

After the funeral, Fayed's father, the powerful Egyptian businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed, blamed Philip for the crash. He accused Philip of ordering British secret service agents to kill Diana and Fayed because Philip didn't want Diana to marry a Muslim.

An inquest into the accident cleared Philip of any wrongdoing, blaming the crash instead on the negligent driving of Diana and Fayed's chauffeur and the paparazzi who were chasing them.

'My strength and stay all these years'

Although Philip reportedly has a heart condition, he maintains a busy pace and has enjoyed relatively good health. In June 2010, he underwent surgery on his left hand for carpal tunnel syndrome. He was treated in hospital in 2008 for a chest infection.

He serves as the president or patron of nearly 800 organizations, and he fulfills an average of 370 official engagements each year.

He's also an avid sportsman who enjoys sailing, cricket and carriage-driving. He used to enjoy polo, but says age has forced him to take up carriage-driving, which he jokingly calls a "geriatric sport."

Despite his busy schedule, he always accompanies the Queen on her Commonwealth tours and state visits overseas, as well as on tours and visits to all parts of the United Kingdom.

He is said to be steadfast in his support for her, spending his public life two paces behind his wife, but always ready to help when needed. Those who know the royal couple well say the Queen often defers to Philip in private.

During celebrations for her golden jubilee on the throne in 2002, the Queen took the occasion to offer her own tribute to the royal consort.

"He has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years," she told the crowds.

"And I and his whole family and this and many other countries owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we should ever know."

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

The 22nd official royal visit to Canada by Queen Elizabeth begins June 28. The Queen and Prince Philip will visit five Canadian cities over nine days.

Official itinerary for royal visit

In Halifax, they will attend a Mi'kmaq cultural event and rededicate Government House on their arrival June 28. The next day, the royal couple conduct a fleet review in Bedford Basin and unveil a plaque commemorating HMCS Sackville, Canada's only surviving corvette from the Second World War.

Biography: Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip visit Ottawa for three days, including Canada Day. It will be the seventh time Queen Elizabeth has been in Canada on July 1. The Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill will be the big event in Ottawa.

America and Europe

In Winnipeg on July 3, the Queen unveils a statue of herself by sculptor Leo Mol, who died in 2009. Other events include dedicating a stone from the site where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215 that will be the cornerstone for a human rights museum. After that, she will speak at a concert for human rights.

The royal couple will attend a church service at St. James Cathedral in Toronto on July 4. Later that day, they will see which horse wins The Queen's Plate at Woodbine Racetrack.

The next day includes a quick trip to Waterloo to tour BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion's facility. Another big event that day is an official dinner in Toronto.

The departure from Canada takes place the next morning at Queen's Park in Toronto.

When Queen Elizabeth leaves for New York on July 6 to address the United Nations general assembly, she will have spent 222 days in Canada on royal visits as the country's sovereign. (She made her first trip to Canada in 1951, when she was still a princess.)

Nobody since Queen Victoria has held the British throne longer than Queen Elizabeth II, and no British monarch has survived to her age. Still active at 84 and with no apparent urge to step down, she may well surpass the 63 years of Victoria's reign.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary of York was born on April 21, 1926, at her maternal grandparents' home in London, the first child for the Duke and Duchess of York. [While the Queen's birthday falls in April, it is officially celebrated in June, continuing a long British tradition of celebrating the monarch's birthday in that month.]

Her reign has been remarkable, starting in an era when television was a novelty (her coronation was the first in Britain to be televised) and continuing through the days of Beatlemania, Swinging London, Thatcherism and Cool Britannia.

The Queen has seen colonies gain independence, the Commonwealth emerge as a respected international organization, and the United Kingdom evolve into a dynamic, multicultural country far different than the one she knew in her youth. She has also kept pace with technology, with Buckingham Palace launching its own YouTube channel and the monarchy embracing social media as a way of communicating with citizens.

Elizabeth's accession to the throne was something of a fluke, the result of the dramatic abdication by her uncle, Edward VIII, to marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Her father became King George VI on Dec. 11, 1936, when Elizabeth was 10 years old.

Elizabeth gave her first radio address at 14, on Oct. 13, 1940. In her four-minute talk, she told the world that British children were "full of cheerfulness and courage" as bombs rained down on London during a Second World War air raid. Five years later, she learned how to drive a car when she enlisted in the army.

Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey on Nov. 20, 1947. On Feb. 6, 1952, her father died of cancer while she and Prince Philip were touring Africa, making the princess the Queen. Although the royal couple rushed home, Elizabeth's coronation wasn't held until more than a year later, on June 2, 1953.

Since then, the Queen has kept a busy travel schedule. She has made more than 250 official overseas visits, and in 2010 will complete her 22nd royal tour of Canada, her most frequent Commonwealth destination. Her first royal visit to this country was in 1959 when she and Phillip visited every province and territory over six weeks. She also officially opened the St. Lawrence Seaway. Her last royal tour of Canada was in 2005, when she celebrated the centennials of Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Spontaneous start to 'walkabout'

It was during one of her overseas trips that the Queen embarked on the first "royal walkabout." The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were visiting Australia and New Zealand in 1970 when they began mingling with the crowds that had lined up to see them. Meeting and greeting regular people, instead of just dignitaries and invited officials, proved so popular that the walkabout became a fixture of the Queen's public appearances.

Although the Queen has generally avoided scandal, her family has been frequently been known to cause controversy and make news. There was Charles's divorce, Diana's fatal car crash in a Paris tunnel, Princess Margaret's stroke, the antics of her daughter-in-law Sarah Ferguson and a series of tabloid-ready embarrassments involving Prince Harry, who once wore a Nazi uniform to a costume party. The Queen herself has made news she would rather forget, including a 1982 security breach in which an intruder managed to scale a wall outside Buckingham Palace and find his way into the royal bedroom, where he sat at the foot of the Queen's bed.

The Queen memorably described 1992 as an annus horribilis, after a fire at Windsor Castle and marital problems among three of her children.

She had hoped that the 2002 would be a year of celebration, marking 50 years on the throne, but the year was overshadowed by the deaths of her sister, Princess Margaret, and the Queen Mother, who was 101.

The Queen is known to love animals, especially dogs and horses. She has owned more than 30 corgis, starting with Susan, which was a gift on her 18th birthday. One of her corgis had to be put down in 2004 after it was mauled by a bull terrier owned by Princess Anne.

She has also run afoul of animal rights activists. In November 2000, Elizabeth was photographed wringing the neck of a wounded pheasant that a hunting dog had dropped at her feet. The next day, she showed up at church wearing a red hat accented with pheasant feathers.

Elizabeth is one of the wealthiest women in the world, with a net worth of £349 million, or about $542 million Cdn, according to a Forbes magazine ranking. That's down sharply from a previous Forbes count of about $818 million in 2004, and considerably smaller than other estimates, which have exceeded $4 billion (and as much as $16 billion, if the Royal Collection, which includes the Crown jewels, are included). Buckingham Palace routinely scoffs at such reports, calling them all "vastly exaggerated."

Although she is one of the most recognizable people on the planet, Queen Elizabeth does not often speak publicly. Those who meet her, in fact, are asked to keep their conversations private.

Here are some of the notable things the Queen has said during her many years in public life. They show a monarch who is committed to her role, a mother and wife devoted to her family, and — apparently — a woman who missed out on Cream and Blind Faith during her younger years.

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong." — Speaking to her future subjects on her 21st birthday, in April 1947.

"I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else, I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations." — From the Queen's first televised Christmas address, in 1957.

"We lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to know the right time and the manner of yielding what is impossible to keep." — Commenting on the American bicentennial in Philadelphia in July 1976.

"Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements." — Quoted in London's Daily Mail newspaper in October 1989.

"1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an annus horribilis." — From a November 1992 speech, commenting on her children's marital troubles and a fire at Windsor Castle.

"No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her. I, for one, believe there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death. I share in your determination to cherish her memory." — From remarks broadcast around the world in September 1997, after Diana's death.

"He has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family and this and many other countries owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we should ever know." — Speaking about Prince Philip during golden jubilee celebrations in 2002.

"Have you been playing a long time?" — Speaking to guitar legend Eric Clapton at a Buckingham Palace reception in March 2005.

"When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future." — From the Queen's Christmas address in 2008.

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has formally welcomed G8 leaders at the organization's annual summit in Huntsville, Ont., where they are expected to discuss global security, and Canada's key initiative on maternal and child health.

The leaders of the seven other Group of Eight leading economic powers — France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and Russia — are gathering in the exclusive Deerhurst Resort near Huntsville before they join other G20 delegates in Toronto on Saturday.

Ahead of the formal talks, Harper praised Britain's new government for its recent spending cuts, saying British Prime Minister David Cameron's budget "highlighted the very fiscal consolidation" Canada was trying to steer the G20 toward at this weekend's summit in Toronto.

The dilemma of Yemenite students has been starting and ongoing for decades. It is that have committed these vices and crimes by the tyrants’ regime with his dark, undeveloped and backward mentality. The branches of state security and military as well as civil institutions implemented these vices and crimes. Their aim and objective is to manipulate, destruct and drain the brain in order to monopolize the powerand governance. They also intend to exploit and manage the national wealth randomly, obscurely and violently.

This tragedy is old and still ongoing. What has changed is there are new tools and implementations, which they used against students as well as citizens.

The strategies and mechanisms, as well as tactics used include violent oppression, as well as various forms of psychological warfare, including economic, political and social. This is done both openly and in secret. Therefore, their seasoning and poisons change as they continue to destroy the spirit and flesh.

Before and after the era of the Yemenite Imams, custody of education was banned and denied and no more modern schools or universities were built. However, in the modern-day of Republic, they have been opening the educational institutions and establishments. But, they have also been converting these important organizations into military barracks, combings and security organizations. They were managed by oppression, murder, violence, terrorism and crimes. This results in producing the same or worse qualities as before.

Both of the regimes have justified and explained their conduct to preserve the religion and law. Although, the truth is to prevent and prohibit understanding, and the giving of citizens their civil rights, as well as claiming on the urbanization. Therefore, they have been destroying the mind, which is their main purpose .

For instance, in the republican era of the 1970's, the methods and styles of killing, murdering and assassinating evolved and increased. They practiced numerous crimes, including detention and house arrest, pursuit, harassment and killing. As a result of that, students emigrated, were killed or imprisoned, become disabled or committed suicide, or lost their mental health. The regime claimed that all of these things have been done to protect the religion, which is originally lost and damaged.

The regime still believes that science and knowledge are dangerous things and their first enemy, so they fabricate and prepared the accusations for liberals, intellectuals and cadres. For example, they accuse them that they are the ally of global socialism on Arab and Islamic systems, so they accuse them of national and humanitarian treason, in addition they accused them of religious treason, therefore, they consulted the religious people to have the permission of killing them. Then, they judged them and killed them due to the yuppies protocols of darkness. They killed them, aiming to stop the wheel of development and the preservation of the minority interests and their selfishness and aggressive authority.

The situation has not improved at the end of the 1970’s, 1980's or after the theoretical unifying the country, which was announced on May 22, 1990. So, they used the students as black sheep in civil wars or wars against the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Their aim was to eliminate them because they carried the light and education as well as that they are from the Al-Hojaria region or Taiz or central regions. By doing so, they protect the army because most of the army is from Zaidiyyah tribes. This act is the omnipotent proof of their racism, crime and brutality.

This dilemma of students’ problems involves racial and sectarian nature inherent in the mind of the obscurantist. Their future plans for the students is for calamity because the students' sin that they are the lovers of science, knowledge and life with its virtues, and because they are prophets and messengers of civilization, justice and equality.

The quantity and quality of scholarship is distributed for associates and affiliates, far from the standard of honest competition, rates and skills. What remains is distributed to the students to eliminate them from the country for a period of up to four or five years, in order to lose their productive and active age. Then, they return after graduation to the dark judgments of being baath, socialist, nationalist or islamist or imperialist or other accusations for leaving the country or facing the death. These accusations, which are trumped up and fabricated , are used to ban the educated from being involved in the system. They eliminate them of participation in decision-making. Despite that, the state soldiers, army units and rulers have relations and cooperation with the Russians, the Arabs and the Americans among others. In addition, the state does not possess or consider of real developmental programmes.

The problems of removing the salaries and scholarships of the students is a deliberated case and also part of terrible, frightening, and brutal corruption, which is widespread in the state's institutions and appears not only at schools, ministries, institutions of education but also in the Ministry of Finance, Foreign Affairs, embassies and other government's organs apparatuses associated with mentioned organizations A bribe is necessary in the regime and is a part of its behaviour and doctrine. The exploitation of positions is easy and natural, so the regime gains money and it protects only its individual interests. It also assaults the rights by looting and banditry, where salaries, scholarships and fees of students are deposited in foreign banks for three months and their benefits go for gangs in the diplomatic corps in embassies. It also cuts off a small amount e.g. two dollars from each student. They explain that the exchange rates of the dollar against the riyal are in change. This is disgraced work, because the salaries of students sent reinforcements to the embassies of the full amount, and the announced information to students according to a law of Education and Higher Education Ministries under the issue of foreign mission said to payment of scholarships in American Dollars and in advance.

We also see the corruption and inequality that there are students that have four salaries and they are delegated from more than one ministry. On the other hand, we observe students drop proceedings under the omission or defect in the computer, the case omissions and imbalance lasts for three or four years.

The policy of cutting off students' or the staff salaries is a statement that is taken from the proverb hunger you dog he follows you. Further more, before you became attacked you should start your attack in order to stop them of asking and struggling for their civil rights and providing the equality and equitable distribution of wealth for all, as well as stopping students from participation in decision-making. Hence, full surrounding is a duty under the principle attacked before they are preparing for confrontation.

The objective of starvation also is a psychological preparation to create new conditions to extort students and use them for inhuman jobs. In addition, to sell them in the local, regional and international slave market. The Yemenite modern system based on begging and trading land, honour and rights. They sell themselves and he who sells himself is easy for him to sell others under the slogans of parties or tribes or national and international cooperation.

Sales and piracy reached even for children, the God's loved, and the sale of the governor for himself, his groups and citizens are done in different ways according to their laws they legalize everything, so, there are spiritual, physical and psychological sale. They are specialist and expert in this field, moreover; they have implementations. The most important thing for them is money.

Their ignorance and stupidity make them blind to see the wealth in the land and people, and they do not know how to manage them to benefit from its' eggs, milks, fruits and brains. So they sell the expensive things to earn the cheaper, which is the money, which they spend it for their selfish purpose. By this behaviour, attitude and mentality all is lost .

Recently, they cut off and banned the students from their scholarships as well as jobs and privileges and they distributed and gave only for those who want to give. They kill students by their hands as well as across international criminal mafias. Hence, many students have disappeared or lived without any human emotional feelings. The condition of students is a tragedy in abroad and inside the country. They are in between a rock and a hard place. Where does your train drive and lead science, the homeland and us?

The followed solutions by the corrupt regime are a palliative for a short time by sending delegates from the ministries for disguising. Nobody gains anything from the followed procedures of solving the dilemma of student except the delegates, who benefit from travel allowance, the leeway and spend their objectives. Finally, they declare through their false media that the problem is solved and they eliminate corruption and spoilers. Although the solutions must begin at home and no need for traveling, the delegates from the ministries are the useless people of knowledge and science and are gainless and deadly.

I am neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but pessoptimist, and when the train starts working for the establishment the state of institutions and law my optimism will achieve the optimum and maximum.

There is nothing good comes by the unfair and corrupt as well as their institutions. For instance, in the embassies there are diplomats, who are murderers and the government protect them, they are fugitive from other tribes, because the revenge is a legal things in the state. In addition, embassies is full of sorts of whom are blind, prostitutes and thieves, who believe in the doctrine of vice. This is the same-called technocrat from the ruling and those who are illegal investments internationally and dealing with other nations Mafiosi. They fled laundering and criminals in the eyes of the world and even mafias. They become with their nations money in a history and in dilemma. Certainly, the end such these groups are the dustbin of history.

Problems after graduation are harsher and worse than before graduation. Some of absolvents had harm and hard life, so few of them immigrate and most of them accept inappropriate jobs, which are not related to their level of education, morality and ethics. When the absolvents morally fall, they become psychologically able to do anything and become acceptable be the authority too, unless he will be thrown into unknown determination to face million harmful obstacles as well as brutal and wild characters.

To homeland, students, scientists and citizens the almighty God says “help one another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression". We do not have any choice except fighting and struggling. Both ways are the best thing for the emancipation of where we are, and God and humanitarian law gives us the rights to proceed.

Brother, sons and, friend, student, professor's partners, farmers and workers we should in solidarity working together to better ourselves and homeland. My brother student in life and path you need only to demand full rights for yourself as human beings and citizens. If your only demand for salary and scholarship it is what the corrupt authority wants, and it is not going to give you it or deliberate and debate with you of it. So, demand your full rights to get a part of it. Finally, you must hitch you wagon to a star, stand up with the voice of the people, which is the voice of God and strike while the iron is hot.

Brother, student and teacher this is your case and it is in your hands to absorb and understand it. If you believe in what it contents then, you should spread and distribute it to all Yemenite students in the World as well as to students' unions, federations and associations of Arab World and the globe. In addition to international human rights organizations. This is the first step in the journey of a thousand miles.

RCMP are stopping hundreds of vehicles as they step up their investigation of a man who abducted a seven-year-old girl in central Alberta before releasing her two hours later.

The girl was riding her bike near the arena in Bowden, south of Red Deer, on Thursday evening when a man drove up and forced her into the back seat of his truck. He also threw her dog and bike into the truck.

The suspect then drove south on Highway 2A through Olds and stopped north of Carstairs. At that time, the bike was discarded, said police.

Two hours after she was taken, the girl and her dog were dropped off on a gravel road northwest of Bowden. She walked to a farmhouse to get help.

The girl's bicycle was found near a pond north of Carstairs on Saturday but police are still looking for her abductor. (RCMP)

RCMP officers set up two checkstops in the town of Bowden and off Highway 2A near Carstairs on Thursday to canvass motorists and to hand out posters in an attempt to collect more information in the case.

Investigators will not say if the girl was sexually or physically assaulted. She was treated in hospital and has since returned to her Grade 1 class.

Police found the girl's purple bicycle near a pond north of Carstairs on Saturday but have not found the man described as having a thin build with an olive or darker complexion. He has short, spiked black hair and stubble.

Investigators are also looking for a full-sized, pickup truck that may be grey or gold with a dark-coloured interior and rubber floor mats.

Sources tell CBC News the highest levels of the Canadian government have known for years that foreign countries have been trying to win influence over Canadian politicians and public servants.

Richard Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, in an exclusive interview with the CBC. (CBC)

Sources tell the CBC the PCO was well aware of those concerns, even if it hadn't been told the details of who was involved.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, the minister responsible for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada's spy agency, refused to discuss Fadden's bombshell allegations.

"I'm afraid I can't comment on any operational issues involving CSIS," Toews said Thursday.

In an exclusive interview with CBC News earlier this week, Fadden said Canada's spy agency suspects that some municipal politicians and cabinet ministers in two provinces are being swayed by their connections to foreign governments.

Semitic illegal drug calls Khat spreads in North America and Europe

China was one of the countries Fadden mentioned.

The remarkable comments sparked outrage from some provincial politicians and have led some observers to call for Fadden to resign.

But senior intelligence sources say the highest levels of the Canadian government were "absolutely" aware of the issue.

"These problems are very well-known," one source said. "This information did not blindside the government."

Fadden 'not wrong': source

A source suggested the prime minister was personally aware of the issue of foreign agents trying to win influence over politicans and bureaucrats — even if he didn't know the details.

"The prime minister is strongly of a view that this is a problem," a source said.

The source said Harper has an appetite for intelligence beyond that of his predecessors. Intelligence briefers now routinely provide the prime minister with detailed written reports, in addition to their regular verbal briefings.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister's Office denied it was warned by CSIS of any specific agents of influence in provincial cabinets. Fadden himself later issued a retraction on that key point.

But sources tell the CBC the issue was very likely "verbally briefed " to intelligence staff who work for the prime minister.

Fadden "had to swallow hard," a source said, "but he's not wrong."

The Netherlands remained perfect in Group E play with a 2-1 win over Cameroon on Thursday to advance to the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.

Main storyline

The Netherlands became the second team at the World Cup to win all three of its group matches. Argentina is the only other team to accomplish that feat so far.

The Oranje, which had already assured a spot in the next round before its final game against Cameroon, used its dominant midfield to take control of the match from the start and, though the Indomitable Lions scored on a second-half penalty by captain Samuel Eto'o, the result was never in doubt.

The Netherlands is now unbeaten in 22 international matches (17 wins).

Dutch midfielder Arjen Robben, who missed the opening two games with a hamstring injury, saw his first taste of World Cup action when he was brought into the game in the 73rd minute.

A classy move was made by Cameroon to get Rigobert Song into the game in the final 10 minutes. He's the first African player to enjoy a World Cup career stretching over 16 years, joining Antonio Carbajal and Hugo Sanchez of Mexico and Lothar Matthaus of Germany as the only players to do so.

What this result means

With the victory, the Netherlands takes the No. 1 seed in Group E, pitting the team against the second seed in Group F, Slovakia, in the Round of 16 (June 28, CBC, CBCSports.ca 9:30 a.m. ET).

Japan earned second seed in the group after posting a 3-1 result over Denmark. Japan will play Group F winners Paraguay in the next round (June 29, CBC, CBCSports.ca 9:30 a.m. ET).

Cameroon finishes the tournament without a win, becoming the fourth African country to be eliminated, joining Algeria, Nigeria and South Africa. Ghana is the only African team to advance to the Round of 16.

The winning goal

In the 83rd minute, Wesley Sneijder played a long cross-field ball to Robben on the right-hand side of the pitch. Robben controlled the ball, pushed it onto his left foot and cracked a curling ball off the far post. Substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the top goal scorer for the Netherlands in qualifying, followed up the rebound and buried it at a tough angle in the back of the Cameroon net to make it 2-1.

Turning point

Huntelaar's winning goal deflated the spirits of the Indomitable Lions, who were attempting to earn at least a point in their final tournament game.

Goal of the match

Robin van Pierse's marker at the 36th minute was less about the finish and more about the build up through the midfield starting with Dirk Kuyt. The Liverpool workhorse knocked the ball to van Pierse, who essentially made something out of nothing. He linked a textbook give-and-go with Rafael van der Vaart finishing it off by scoring goal through the legs of Cameroon keeper Hamidou Souleymanou.

Man of the match

Van Pierse gets the honour for not only his opening goal, but also his willingness to take risks and charge ahead in the offensive third of the field. He was always a threat, whether he was holding up the ball with his back to the goal or running on to through balls.

The Dutch perspective

"We were far too nonchalant in the second half. Our final spell put us on the right track again, but consider this a serious warning." — Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk.

The Cameroonian perspective

"I ended my mission. Now I will reflect carefully." — Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen.

Tim’s own life story and career path are a testament to the opportunities that come from being part of Ontario’s middle class. Tim and his sister grew up in a middle class household in Fort Erie. His dad was a high school principal and his mom was a teacher. Tim learned the importance of self-reliance and community involvement from his parents and grandparents who originally came to Canada from Eastern Europe in advance of World War Two.

Tim put himself through university working on the U.S. – Canada Border. He earned an Economics degree from the University of Western Ontario and was subsequently awarded a full academic scholarship to the University of Washington where he obtained his Masters of Arts in Economics.

Tim traveled across Canada as part of a management team helping a major international retailer grow its operations throughout Canada. Before entering public life, he worked for the Fort Erie Economic Development Corporation.

Tim’s concern about the lack of jobs and opportunities in his community led him to put his name on a ballot and run for office against tall odds in a seat that had not elected a PC candidate since before he was born. In the 1995 General Election, Tim was elected in the Ontario PC Party’s historic come-from-behind victory.

During his time serving the people of Ontario as a Cabinet Minister, Tim held three separate economic portfolios. As Ontario’s Tourism Minister in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Tim quickly pulled together leaders in the tourism industry and provided leadership to protect jobs and help Ontario businesses recover from the dramatic drops in travel that followed the attacks.

As Consumer and Business Services Minister, Tim led the charge to protect vulnerable seniors and families from fraud by comprehensively overhauling Ontario’s old consumer protection laws. Under Tim’s leadership, rules and regulations that were originally written on manual typewriters were finally updated to reflect the needs of consumers and entrepreneurs in the Internet age. As a result, Ontario consumers now have peace of mind that they can shop or pay their bills online with some of the strongest legal safeguards in Canada.

As Northern Development and Mining Minister, Tim cut Ontario mining taxes to the lowest in Canada; this created new jobs in the mining industry and made Ontario the best province in Canada for attracting new investments.

In 2007, Tim and his wife Debbie became proud parents with the birth of their daughter Miller. Despite the long hours and time pressures that come with a career in public life, Tim makes it a priority to spend as much time as possible with his family, and can often be found taking his daughter for walks near their home.

In his spare time, Tim is an avid student of economics and Canadian history. He was a volunteer sports coach, and loves basketball, soccer and football. Tim remains deeply attached to the Niagara countryside of his youth and enjoys mountain biking, outdoor cooking and kayaking on the Welland River near his home.

About Lisa, your MPP in Nepean-Carleton

Hi, I’m Lisa MacLeod, your Progressive Conservative MPP for Nepean-Carleton.

I was first elected in a by-election in 2006. In 2007 , the voters of Nepean-Carleton returned me to Queen’s Park with the highest vote total of any Progressive Conservative in Ontario and any candidate in Eastern Ontario during the provincial election.

Presently I am the Official Opposition Critic for Revenue and Government Accountability in PC Leader Tim Hudak’s shadow cabinet, as well as Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies. I am also the co-chair of the 2010 PC Party of Ontario Annual General Meeting.

Previously, I have served as the Official Opposition Critic for Government and Consumer Services and Critic for Children and Youth Services, and as a member on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

In 2008 I was honoured to be named to Ottawa Life Magazine’s “Top 50 People in the Capital” and in May 2007 to be nominated for a YMCA/ YWCA Woman of Distinction Award. I have enjoyed being an honourary patron of the Ottawa Christmas Exchange and honourary president of the Metcalfe Agricultural Society’s Annual Fair since 2006. I am also proud to be a member of the Barrhaven Legion, a founding member of the South Nepean Autism Centre and the host of a semi-annual Women In Business breakfast series.

Like most Ontarians, cancer has touched my family and I am fond of the time I was able to spend as a board director with the Canadian Cancer Society- Ottawa Unit and as Chair of its Communications team.

Before I was elected to politics I was proud to work at Ottawa City Hall, Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park for current and former politicians in Nepean-Carleton. Those experiences provided me with the best possible understanding of the issues we face in our fast growing suburban-rural community. I was also grateful for time I spent with the management team at Sobeys Inc. for teaching me about customer service among other important business practices.

I graduated with an honours degree from St. Francis Xavier University and I have pursued masters level coursework in strategic intelligence at an American university.

Family is important to me, and my husband Joe Varner and I cherish our daughter Victoria and our little scottie/ westie terrier Aberdeen! We are members of the Knox Presbyterian Church in Manotick and we all really enjoy spending our weekends with the Nepean Hotspurs and the Nepean Studio School of Dance!

The Canadian Press

Hon. Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey (1784-1857), a young London importer and ship insurance broker, emigrated to Canada in 1820 with a small fortune, to develop an estate in the Canadian wilderness. He soon established himself as a leader of society in eastern Upper Canada (Ontario) and became a member of the Legislative Assembly, Reeve of March Township, Warden of Carleton County, and a member of the Legislative Council of Upper Canada. He developed HORACEVILLE, on the Ottawa Riverfront of March Township (now the City of Ottawa), as his residential estate, operating grist and sawmills and building St. Mary's Church, which opened in 1827.

HAMNETT KIRKES PINHEY'S HOUSE : HORACEVILLE, the residence of the Hon. Hamnett Pinhey, was named for Pinhey's eldest son. In keeping with British aristocratic practice, young Horace was intended from the start to be the heir to the property.

The house was built in four stages, from north to south.

HAMNETT KIRKES PINHEY'S HOUSE : HORACEVILLE, the residence of the Hon. Hamnett Pinhey, was named for Pinhey's eldest son. In keeping with British aristocratic practice, young Horace was intended from the start to be the heir to the property.The house was built in four stages, from north to south.

The original house, built in 1820-1821, was "a nice tasty cottage with viranda [sic]". It was a two-storey log building, covered with clapboard. To the rear was a square stone kitchen with hip roof. (National Archives, NMC-22119). In 1841, Pinhey began to look ahead to the day Horace would marry and take over the farm. He planned a large addition in two stages. The central hall-kitchen wing was built in 1841-42, with a gracious sweeping staircase leading upstairs to a dining room at the head of the stairs and a bedroom over the front entrance. The new kitchen wing to the rear was to become Mrs. Pinhey's kitchen when a daughter-in-law took over the older part of the house. On August 21, 1847, Horace Pinhey married Kate Greene at neighbouring St. Mary's Church, and in September work began to enlarge the old stone kitchen to better serve the young couple. In 1848-49 the final, south wing was added, including a library, pantry, and drawing room on the ground floor. Upstairs, several bedrooms and an interesting second-storey privy, which Pinhey called the "sanctum sanctorum", Latin for "the holy of holies", were added. Horace and Kate moved into the older part of the house and took over management of the farm, turning over half the produce each year to his parents. Hamnett retained control of the gardens and moved with wife Mary Anne and daughter Constance into the newer part of the house. At Hamnett Pinhey's death in 1857 he willed the new half of the house to daughter Constance. However, she married her cousin John Hamnett Pinhey and moved to Bytown (Ottawa) shortly thereafter, deeding her inheritance to Horace. In the nineteenth century, the Pinhey house had been expanded to accommodate a growing family. In the twentieth century, it was home to an aging family and the side wings were boarded up. The family rejected proposals to make HORACEVILLE the home of a Hollywood actress or a summer residence for the Governor General. HORACEVILLE remained the Pinhey family farm until the 1970s. In the end, Miss Ruth Pinhey alone occupied the deteriorating central wing of her ancestors' great house. She died in 1971. Pinhey's Point, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 270 Pinhey's Point Road, Dunrobin, Ontario (A Historic Tourist Site in Canada's National Capital Region) The Pinhey Estate, HORACEVILLE, is an 88-acre heritage site scenically situated on the Ottawa River in rural Ottawa, in the hamlet of Dunrobin northwest of the downtown core. This estate is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa. The Honourable Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey emigrated to Canada from England in 1820 to develop his estate, HORACEVILLE, Pinhey's Point. That same year, 1820, he built the first Pinhey house to which additions were made over the next 28 years. This property remained in the Pinhey family until 1971 when March Township purchased it. In 1990 the City of Kanata (now part of the City of Ottawa) acquired Pinhey's Point. One of the City's biggest projects was the restoration of the Hamnett Pinhey mansion. Today, the City of Ottawa continues to develop the site's heritage and waterfront potential. The Pinhey's Point Foundation, established in 1980, has played a significant role in preserving and developing the estate as an historic site and recreation area. The Foundation's Museum Committee along with Pinhey's Point staff plan and prepare exhibits each year.

Charges have been laid against the grandmother of a toddler who was taken from her home in southeastern Alberta on Sunday morning, police said Tuesday.

The Public Safety Communications centre handles all emergency and non-emergency calls in Calgary. (CBC)

The city and police force will be adding more officers to the Calgary 911 call centre after a string of delayed or misdirected emergency responses.

Earlier this month, Mayor Dave Bronconnier asked for a review of the Public Safety Communications centre after the head of the police association highlighted three emergency cases where dispatch was delayed.

Bronconnier said on Monday that he and police Chief Rick Hanson agree more officers will be added to the call centre. Currently, only one officer works in the centre during the day to help direct calls.

"There will be additional policing resources deployed up at the 911 call centre, and in addition to that, additional training for people answering the phone," said Bronconnier.

"This is to make sure that we have a 911 system that is reliable, that the protocols are consistent and consistently followed with each and every operator."

Delays questioned

The PSC centre, which was created by merging police, fire and ambulance dispatch systems in 2006, handles all emergency and non-emergency calls in Calgary.

John Dooks, head of the Calgary Police Association, called for the review after pointing out that it took paramedics at least 13 minutes to reach the downtown Calgary office where a veteran RCMP officer was stabbed on June 1. PSC dispatchers had struggled to confirm the exact address.

Last week, it took police officers almost two hours to respond to a call that a man had exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl.

Bronconnier said he's not sure of the cost of the additional officers or when they will be re-assigned to the call centre.
