find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tonight is a report on. the military takes charge of egypt and while the west tells the ousting of the president as a triumph of democracy analysts wonder just how much of an american agenda the new democracy will involve also. united states is becoming the laughing stock of the world the faces of potentially the next american president as well as their bold plans for the country are revealed at a conservative party conference in washington. as ukraine prepares to co-host the next your own championships we discover a traditional instrument that might just save the world cup in from this.

or welcome to you this is our live from our studios in moscow where it's seven pm it's six pm in cairo where the egyptian military has started removing barricades at square despite their still being thousands throng in what was the center point for the historic up people in the country president mubarak finally stepped down on friday ending a standoff lasting more than two weeks eyes are now on the egyptian army which has taken charge to see if it will be able to prepare the country for presidential elections in september iraq obama along with other world leaders welcome to move to thank the voice of the people that you can see here on the streets of cairo. have been heard finally but since the. us back

a fallen dictator during his thirty year reign there are those who question with sincerity those sentiments. can reports washington is not likely to take a back seat when it comes to egypt's new politics. in the west mubarak's departure was hailed as a triumph of democracy for gyptian to have 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 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. 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 it 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 its future 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 army. aurukun silly amount of course they're also

military men but there will be no polls by chief of the army and the minister of defense they have a very close relationship with the pentagon don't always very very close to robert gates they talked on the phone at least five times this past week or so or because the washington will be supervising him missing that happens tahrir square in cairo now celebrates the end of rule by an autocratic leader who restricted political freedoms and damaged economic progress so too did people on the streets of kurdistan and ukraine in recent years after so-called democratic revolutions with western approval but the leaders who came to power were later rejected by their own people or targeted so many of these great people power of being where. people could . have. been just a change of pace is that. some say the lesson that the west could 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 get a check on r.t. washington d.c. . the renowned author and middle east expert believes the u.s. was playing a risky game during the days on rast the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence for a. bend the choice is very clear by that they call in the army to carry out a blood to bury square in front of the world and beth was too risky an option for the gyptian army because it might have split to be army the generals might have carried out the orders if the pentagon had approved them but young officers whose children whose families whose brothers and sisters are involved in this uprising might have. desisted so it was

a very serious risk for washington and in the end they decided it would be safe to dump mubarak and mubarak then refused to carry out orders from the pentagon but only for twenty four hours he resisted for one day and the next day he was gone because the army told him he had to go and the army. freed marshall. the defense minister as we've already heard is a close ally of the pentagon then takes orders direct the big question washington has is must think should happen to destabilize. israel that is all they're concerned about and they're also concerned about the affects of this are people now on jordan on yemen and who knows even them so the arabia and barrett so regardless of what washington wants to try to control the situation. in

a few minutes more analysis of the reports spreading out from the gyptian on grass to our military apps for example how the president of afghanistan is trying to shield himself repetition of the events in cairo also. we've there's a lot of countries that are surviving off of the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in doubt you think. not this watch how deep in debt can the u.s. slipper for bankruptcy comes knocking the president trying to find out on new york street. out of the euro twenty twelve championships in poland and ukraine the host have unveiled a two full new object and maybe a small but they help their traditional instrument will pack just as loud a punch as the african cousin did last year the likes of yourselves get reports from ukraine. remember the whole mark sound of last summer's world cup the distinctive drum. well the traditional south african

horn there was still a. meet its equivalent for the euro two thousand and twelve championship to be held in ukraine and poland this whistle is called this is only named and shaped after a cool and just like there was a lot it dates back thousands of years but what the report of the trip only a culture where there's a lead to came from united money countries ukraine poland mulled over romania and the balkans we want to use it at the twenty twelve championship to let everyone know of our roots we're not saying this instrument is purely ukrainian i would rather say it's purely slavic. those behind the idea to use this is a leader at euro two thousand and twelve say they will try to avoid the will was ill effect which brought complaints from some that the powerful picture 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 full can use it. says any football fan would master this instrument in no time and there was particularly keen could play even more than just football songs. not so the lives of 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 wonder. in many other musicians. costs under five dollars coming in various sizes in either clay or plastic but this potter has been making these birdies for most of her life says the more natural the lead the more

positive vibe linda they make sure their ratios as a lead comes from the ukrainian soil the country is friendly every person coming here for the twenty two hours couple feel it and this is the least cilla transfer the positive emotions of our land every family uses one of those pushing this is the lead so i hope it will become the unofficial emblem of the euro twenty twelve championship the sound feeling stadium next year in ukraine and poland will tell how successful they have been. r.t. reporting from ukraine. and still to come here on r t approaching. the red planet of them on mars five hundred mission is nearing its destination and although it's only virtual the scientific work of the experiment is very real. also how the diplomatic breakdown between russia and georgia is hurting everyday

lives we look at families forced to part by the holiday. but first as potential u.s. presidential hopefuls start turning their minds towards the twenty twelve elections the list of burning issues for the republican candidates is growing longer by the day but one of the biggest is military spending and all the possible runners are having their say you are. looks at some new names on the scene. if you've been wondering who i am one of you. could possibly how are we going to let 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 you you came to the right party and that's precisely what it is we're. going to

pack everything here the fact that that's the united states. it's a good place you don't throw it 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 what is right this very clear if i were to decide to run for president who according to a recent rasmussen poll leads 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 calling back and taking our weapons off the table we need to go and 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 the israelis use nuclear weapons to iran he will 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 in 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 don't think it's going to be i knew there had to be some dissension so. some

fresh faces are willing to say in with the new out with field but establishment republicans there may be the temptation to x. everything including the defense 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 laughingstock of the world but when realistic ideas too often get drowned out you cannot say that the doubling of the military budget in the last ten years has all been spent wisely and that there's not any waste in the joke. may just be on you. dean of the soft r. t. washington d.c. . well no matter who becomes the next president one of the main challenges they'll face is the growing budget deficit latest report so it's risen to almost fifty billion dollars leaving some analysts to warn the us has passed the point of no

return our very own new york resident laurie hart finessed hit the streets of the big apple to see if people really think america is 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 the bottom and what point do you start screaming about it china has too much invested in dollar to let america go bankrupt so now we're 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 alright rosy at this point we're certainly not 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 us 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 are. there is a lot of countries that are surviving off for the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in debt you think some debt not this much is it 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 feel like questions like these are sort of useless to people like me. it feels like it has nothing to do with. 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. after months of space travel a crew of three is finally nearing their destination the red planet although the mission is only a simulation it comes complete with all the trying conditions of space flight lengthy journey and solitude and of course the basic food artie's sarah further from about how this unique experiment aims to paramount kind for a real trip to mars. after more than eight months flying to the red planet the isolated mass hundred crew preparing to go where no man is gone before as they
