It has been always quite clear that destroying Syrian chemical weapons would have been a difficult mission, but the current situation it's more complicated than expected. The first great problem burst out in  December when OPCW was looking for a way to destroy Assad's chemical armoury and no State nor private organization volunteered. Because of that and due to a short amount of available time, OPCW board was forced to solve the “crisis” going with a earlier set aside-option : destroying the chemical material in international waters in more than one step. The second huge problem revealed itself at the end of 2013 and it messed up OPCW schedule: according to their plan, the most dangerous part of Syrian chemical armoury should have been removed from Syrian territory by 31 December but they failed  because of bad weather condition and because of the never-ending clashes between Assad's troops and the rebel groups within the ongoing civil war. Now everything it's on move again but the premises aren't really bright.

From politics to the media-world: “fights” on Snowden’s revelations are spreading all around. That’s what is happening in the UK in the last couple of months, where a kind of a quarrel came up between the right-winger headline The Daily Mail and the politically independent The Guardian. At the same time the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) was dragged to the dock by Snowden’s revelations published on The Guardian accusing the agency of having supported US espionage activities by controlling Italian government and its citizen’s communications, The Daily Mail began a harsh campaign against The Guardian guilty of providing a handbook to potential terrorists willing to harm Great Britain. In an ironic drawing, The Daily Mail pictured a newspaper seller handing out a copy of The Guardian to a man wearing a balaclava and, on the newspaper table, an advertisement says: “The Guardian – Secrets of MI5 and CGHQ – read all about it”. On its side, The Guardian has received support from many international headline editors asserting that what The Guardian has been doing is a clear expression of democracy end a clear example of freedom of speech and expression principle.
