when. riviera. cintra hotel. the military takes charge of egypt turmoil the west tells the ousting of the president is a triumph of democracy and others wonder just how much of an american agenda that new democracy would involve. united states is becoming the laughingstock of the world. the faces of potentially the next american president as well as that bold plans for the country are revealed at a conservative party conference in washington and also to stop. as ukraine prepares to host the next euro championships we discover a traditional instrument that might just i'll sing the world cup's infamous visit.

from our studios here in central moscow this is twenty four hours a day the egyptian military authorities now controlling the country have promised they will comply fully with egypt's international obligations during the transitional period the army took charge of the country after the embattled president hosni mubarak finally stepped down on friday and in a public standoff last more than two weeks on saturday crowds gathered to once again at tahrir square which became the center point for the op even in the country to mark the historic event like a bomb along with other world leaders welcomed the barents resignation saying that the voice of the people had been heard but since the u.s. backed the foreign dictator during his thirty year reign there are those who question the sincerity of those sentiments. on 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. 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 is the second largest recipient of american aid in the world after his neighbor israel 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. 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 art of mubarak and suleiman of course they're also military men that they were being no close by the chief of the army and the minister of defense they have a very cool relationship with the pentagon don't always very very close to robert

gates they talked on the phone at least five die this past week so obviously washington. the supervising a missing 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 to date 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 leader rejected by their own people the party for many of the great people power of luther king. but also people the scope of the laws of their might. be just a change of pace is there. 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 r t washington d.c.

. and the renowned author and middle east expert believes the u.s. is playing a risky game during the days of the egyptian unrest. the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence free. ben the choice is very clear that they call in the army to carry out a blood in buried square in front of the world and that was too risky an option for the gyptian army because it might have split the 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 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 in the next day he was gone because the army told him he had to go and the ya me. freedom marshall power week 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 nothing should happen to destabilize their. israel that is all they're concerned about and they are also concerned about the effects of this are people now on jordan on yemen and who knows even in saudi arabia and bahrain so regardless of what washington wants it to try to control the situation. within a few minutes from now more analysis of the ripples spreading el from the egyptian unrest i'm going to treat. afghanistan as trying to shield himself from

a repetition of those events. but also coming up a little later. there's a lot of countries that are so volatile that leaves us with. so it's good for us to be in doubt you think. about this what. can the us before bankruptcy comes knocking the resident tries to find out the new york street. stories told to come first as potential u.s. presidential hopefuls start turning their minds to 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 only possible run as are having their say on the issue and looks now at some new names on the scene. if you've been wondering who i am one of you. could possible are we going to let washington the tea party i 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 or not i will become one. you came to the right party and that's precisely what it is we're going. to see pack everything here the fact that that's the united states. it's the stones 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 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. 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 us 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 the red hot alert five 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 this really is use nuclear weapons and he would accept that in a minute. because she believes everybody into iran 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. thank you it's good to see you there had to be some extensions. some fresh faces are willing to say in with the new out with field but establishment republicans there may be the temptation to axe 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 job. just be on you. in the soft arts in washington d.c.

. well no matter who becomes the next president one of the main challenges they'll face is the growing budget deficit that his report shows reason to only fifty billion dollars leading some analysts to warn the u.s. is past the point of no return when all very own new york resident laurie healthiness 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 bottom and what point do you start screaming about it china has too 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 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 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 or we mean 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 some debt is 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 do feel like questions like these are sort of useless to people like me big. 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. or still to come the approaching the red planet if the mach five hundred mission is nearing its destination although it's only virtual the scientific worth of the experiment is very real. also how the diplomatic breakdown between russia and georgia is hurting every day as we look at families forced apart by politics.

first ahead of the euro twenty championships in poland and ukraine the hosts of unveiled a truthful new object may be small but they have the traditional instrumental pack just as lot of punch as it african cousin did last year election reports from ukraine. remember the whole mark sound of last summer's football world cup the distinctive drawing of the traditional south african horn there was still i. mean it's equivalent for the euro twenty twelve championship to be held in ukraine and poland this was so it's called sicily named and shaped after a cool and just like it was a lot it dates back thousands of years but at the airport at the tripoli a culture where there's also lots of came from united many countries ukraine poland
