egyptians are triumphant does weeks of mass a brass finally see hosni mubarak step down we begin the military in power but there are concerns that the country's future is now under the control of a force largely financed by washington. i'm not at this time a candidate for the presidency i will decide by june whether or not i will become one of our tea takes a sneak peek at who might be the potential candidate for the twenty u.s. presidency and what their rhetoric might mean for the country and the rest of the world. and a below to alternative to south africa's blues delos ukraine is getting ready to introduce fans at the twenty twelve year old cup with old slavic instrument that

will have spectators at fever pitch. one pm here in moscow this is our team thanks for joining us now with gyptian president hosni mubarak has finally stepped down a standoff lasted more than two weeks while barack obama welcomed the move saying that the voice of the people had been hurt but since america back the fall of dictator and his thirty year regime there are those who question the sincerity of the u.s. said to me it's going to check out reports. in the west mubarak's departure was hailed as a triumph of democracy or gyptian said made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day the u.s. congratulates egyptians for getting rid of a repressive leader it's a big change after washington sponsoring hosni mubarak for thirty years and turning

a blind eye to widespread human rights violations in the country what have they been doing for the previous thirty years while mubarak was actually torturing people. putting down opposition by force barak was a bad guy but he was our bad guy and as long as we had some element of control and that was good for us america's close ally is out of power but some analysts say the u.s. is still pulling the strings united states has a long term alliance with israel a deep partnership with egypt we as a country have provided more than one hundred billion dollars in aid to both of these countries there's a real investment here the force now in charge in egypt is the country's military largely financed by the united states the army will be in power until egyptians choose their next president egypt is the second largest recipient of american aid in the world after his neighbor as well the u.s.

is pumping billions of dollars into the egyptian military which gives washington huge control over the running of the country and it's sure although the official u.s. position is that it's up to the egyptian people to choose their next leader some analysts say it's very likely the country's next president will be subject to american approval what took place in egypt was a military coup in a military coup inside the aren't mubarak and suleiman of course they're also military men that they were being no posed by the chief of the army and the minister of defense they have a very close relationship with the pentagon always very very close to robert gates they talked on the. told at least five times this past week so obviously washington will be supervising anything that happens tahrir square in cairo now celebrates the end of ruled by an autocratic leader who restricted political freedoms and damaged economic progress so too did people on the streets of kurdistan in ukraine in

recent years after so-called democratic revolutions with western approval but the leaders who came to power were leader rejected by their own people the party of so many of the people power of being where but also people who. have. been just a change of races and. some say the lesson that the west to learn from recent revolutions is to abstain from supporting a leader just based on how convenient they are for the west rather than how much they can do for their people going to check on our t. washington d.c. . well investigative journalist robert dreyfuss says that now that will bark a step down and had a power to the military america is uncertain which side to back next even though there's a lot of celebration and jubilation going on in cairo we don't know really whether the military is going to give up its power and authority and if they do to whom how far will they share or what's going to happen the most likely course is going to be

a prolonged period of very difficult talks between some emerging group coming out of the protest the united states was certainly involves behind the scenes in a very intensive way when it became clear that mubarak was was in trouble they wanted him out now do they want the military to stay in power do they want the protesters to take over i think is something in between you know and they're really confused and obama has been a step or two behind throughout this entire process. british journalist and war correspondent yvonne ridley says hosni mubarak delayed his departure to take care of his multibillion dollar fortune the problem facing a dictator like mubarak is that when you have many billions stashed away. he obviously had to seek assurances that is also wouldn't be frozen as has happened in switzerland to see further already there are lots of things that i think he's had

to sort out and this obviously been a lot of deals going on behind the scenes but at the end of the day the victory is with the people they got their way i was in tough here square just on tuesday and it was an electric atmosphere they got their rewards that patience paid off. and coming up in a few minutes here on our team learning from mubarak's downfall about how proud the karzai is using the events in egypt solidify his power and protect himself against similar uprisings in afghanistan. now american billionaire donald trump could be the next u.s. president as the two thousand and twelve presidential race nears he joins possible republican challengers who have been trying to win over conservative voters in washington. was there. if you've been wondering

who i am one of you. could possible are we going to let the washington co-op the tea party. one day become the next u.s. president. while i'm not at this time a candidate for the presidency i will decide by june whether and i will become one of the if you came to the right party that's precisely what it is worth a hundred thousand people to see pack everything here the fact that that's not as it is for the united states. it's just a stone's throw away and though he hasn't officially announced it it is going to take a lot more of the new rhetoric to put americans back to work it's going to take a new president all eyes were on mitt romney let me make this very clear if i were to decide to run for president who according to a recent rasmussen poll leaves obama in a potential presidential race in two thousand and twelve and who just recently opposed the new start treaty which would limit the amount of nuclear weapons in

both the united states and russia and which was supported by leadership of both parties neustar needs our national security. and potential candidate michele bachmann had quite a few eloquent things to say about u.s. foreign policy particularly china with all the money that we owe china i think we might rightly say who is your daddy but in this interview when discussing foreign policy bachmann it wasn't joking this is the time where we need to be on red hot alert five alarm alert and instead of pulling back and taking our weapons off the table we need to get another presidential hopeful has been gearing up for years now especially when it comes to dealing with iran and ahmadinejad he gets to wipe out tel aviv maybe this really is use nuclear weapons to iran he would accept that in a minute. because he believes everybody in tehran goes to heaven and everybody in tel aviv does and now he's really angry at the u.s.

president the obama administration is wrong on terrorism wrong on iran wrong on the muslim brotherhood wrong on hezbollah but hating obama is where the agreement seems to end because this year here is the compromise that conservatives also will have to make we will have to look long and hard at the military budget i was thinking i was getting the oil i knew there had to be some dissension so it was some fresh faces are willing to say in with the new out with field the tea party is interested in selecting our tea party candidates not just all the not just all of the. establishment republicans but establishment republicans or maybe the temptation to x. everything. including the difference but still have something to say and the money to not only say it but also to believe that the united states is becoming the

laughing stock of the world because delusion john being or by the way is flying commercial these days. oh yeah it's a good it's a due date no matter how obvious always has a place in society but when realistic ideas too often get drowned out you cannot say that the job wing of the military budget in the last ten years has all been spent wisely and that there's not any waste in the job. just be on you. in the sauce the r. t. washington d.c. . well whoever becomes the next u.s. president one of the main challenges they'll face is the growing budget deficit while latest report shows in january it rose to almost fifteen billion dollars that seven billion more than last year with a struggling economy and suffering its twenty eighth consecutive month in the red some wonder if the u.s. might end up going broke well in her show the resident laurie harshness hits the

streets of new york to find out if people really think america is on the brink of going bust. the u.s. has a new budget coming out can america ever go bankrupt this week let's talk about that well we're already bankrupt so it's like credit card debt i mean. can you go at what point you hit bottom and what point do you start screaming about it china has to much invested in dollar to let america go bankrupt so now were something that someone else has to take care of. right now. if anything happens there's going to other countries who are going to do that for us is that fair. it's . not saying that everything's all right rosy at this point we're certainly are at a critical point and i think what you're pointing out is the fact that we need

increased global cooperation it's not just a problem that can be fixed unilaterally either within the within the euro or within the u.s. economy it's something that has to be fixed globally how do you stop spending when you've got. thirty three hundred million people to make sure that they're healthy and have enough food and all that kind of stuff. how do you. you. you have to. cut it other places maybe stop going to war with so many people. as a real expensive believe there's a lot of countries that are surviving off for the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in doubt you think debt not this much isn't ok that our country is built on a deficit system. if you look at a lot of companies now they are so no it's not but we should be built on a surplus either do you think the rest of the world needs us to be in that yes

i do feel like questions like these are sort of useless to people like me pick. is it feels like it has nothing to do with me at all whether or not you think america can ever go bankrupt the bottom line is with a deficit that continues to grow something's gotta give one way or another. and still ahead for you this our family support knows no borders we reveal how despite sever ties with moscow cash flow from russia to georgia grows every year that's stupid money transfers from those who left their country in search of a better life. and the first a morris landing has happened today the crew of the longest space flight simulation in history preparing mankind for a real trip to the red planet. now if there is one thing the two thousand and

ten south africa world cup will be remembered for it's the constant bleed of the vote but some are determined not to be outdone by the infamous horde with ukraine and poland set to host the two thousand and twelve european championships locals have decided it's the perfect opportunity to promote the european cousin alexei a chef he has the story. remember the whole mark sound of last summer's football world cup the distinctive drawing the additional south african foreign devils we see. here. it's equivalent for you returning to twelve championship to be held in ukraine and told this was so it's called sicily named and shaped after a cool and just like it was their work dates back thousands of years but at the report of the triple your culture this is elites a came from united many countries

ukraine moldova and the balkans we want to use it at the twenty twelve championship to let everyone know. we're not saying this instrument is purely ukrainian i would rather see it's purely slavic. those behind the idea to use this is elites at euro two thousand and twelve say they will try to avoid there was ill effect because which brought complaints from the sound that the powerful pitch of the african horn was irritating and drowned out the atmosphere and like a monotonous roar of a who was ill of this ukrainian musical instrument provides a far more melodic sound and just about anybody can play just about any tune. professional folk musician maxime business says any football fan with moss to this instrument in no time and there was particularly keen could play even more than

just football songs. not so the lows that your boys are you see it took me less than five minutes to teach you how to play it's really easy to use i've been playing for some time and i've learned to play tunes by under wagner d.j. and many other musicians this is really to costs under five dollars coming in various sizes and either clay or plastic but this potter has been making these birds for most of her life says the more natural this is leads us to the more positive it's why then we make it in the pacific nation there ratios as elites are comes from the soil like rainy and so in our countries friendly ever pass and come here for the twenty twelve couple feel it and this is elite cilla transfer the positive emotions of our land every family uses one of. those pushing this is the need to hold that will become the unofficial emblem of the euro twenty twelve

thanks to american occupation now he is in charge. clinton used to call narco state due to drug trafficking has acquired total financial independence from the united states or international community it's to president obama whether he has the guts to learn the less some from cairo to arrange that preventive palace in kabul before this situation in afghanistan we'll come. out of american control. now let's take a look at some other major headlines from around the world hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of the pakistani city of karachi for the hanging of a u.s. embassy worker accused of killing two pakistani men well alan davis claims he shot the men in self-defense after they attempted to rob them two weeks ago in the city

tells me it's a new team perhaps to avoid any tensions and the experience itself is a tough challenge for the crew to have to deal with the monotony but thanks to this program of drills the men are in a good condition and we hope. they will be able to walk on the planet's surface the crew volunteers are being paid it's a long haul experiment that still has a while to completion in fact the vendor six hundred in forty days after they first began that the men will get to touch down back in reality was the experiment gives a unique insight into the long term space travel techniques that will be a long while yet before the real thing till then this simulation is this close as it gets to witnessing a real mission to mars. r.t. . coming up next our art. he continues its exploration of european capitals through
