all. the military takes charge of egypt and while the west hailed the ousting of the president as a triumph of democracy and let's wonder just how much of the american agenda the new democracy will involve also. united states is becoming the laughingstock of the world. in faces of potentially the next american president as well as their bold plans for the country i would build as a conservative party conference in washington and. reprise the gatos the next year a championship we discover a traditional instrument that might just as saying the world cup the infamous

bridezilla. hello and welcome to also the twenty four hour news life. of volatile main story now the egyptian military has promised to uphold the country's international obligations added takes control following the resignation of president hosni mubarak after eighteen days a widespread and sometimes violent unrest forced him out the armed forces assume power for a transitional period and leaders in the act it crowds continue to gather in cairo's tahrir square let's have a day in celebration of his removal world leaders including the u.s. president praised mubarak's decision to stand down saying he'd finally given in to the voice of the people but observers question america's sincerity since it was u.s. political and financial support which kept the dictator in power that's three decades

ati's get reports now washington's involvement in european politics in egypt and rather politics is not likely to end with the mubarak regime. in the west mubarak step. parcher 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 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. 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 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 there will be no post 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. this past week or so all because washington will be supervising any seing 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 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 for targeted so many of these great people power revolution being where the . people who. have. been just a change of racism. 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 going to check on r t washington d.c. . and british historian and middle east expert terry says the u.s. has been playing a dangerous game while history unfolds in egypt. the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence fray. ben the choice is very clear either the call in the army to carry out a blood department 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 be army. freedom marshal. 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 permanent israel that is all they're concerned about and they're 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 to try to control the situation this is our c.n.n. still to come approaching the red planet of the. five hundred mission is nearing if the nation and all of that show the scientific experiment is very real.

as americans begin looking into next year's presidential election the country in economic crisis potential candidates from the republican party has tried slugging it out on issues including abortion gun ownership and the place of religion in public life but with the you are still fighting two wars abroad one of the biggest topics of discussion will be military spending. has been looking into some of the new political faces and seen who could be vying for they're white. if you've been wondering who i am one of you. could possibly how we got on 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 came to the right party and that's precisely what it is worth a hundred thousand people to see pack everything here the fact that that's 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 what 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 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 throwing 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.

was good we knew there had to be some change and so was 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 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. you just beat on you. in the sauce the r. t. washington d.c. . so no matter who the cons the next american president he or she will have to phrase the growing challenge of a massive budget deficit with a coming to us budget deficit topping one trillion dollars something that the us

has policy the point of no return his new york resident nor hoffman took to the streets of gotham to find out if people really think america is set to hit rock bottom. 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 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. be laid up on 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 know. you have to. cut it other places maybe stop going to war with so many people. as a real work we mean there's a lot of countries that are survivable for the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in doubt you think. not this watch is that ok that our country is built on a deficit system. got a lot of companies now they are so no it's not but we should rebuild on

a surplus you though 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 because 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 got to give one way or another. and you can always check on our website for other news stories and features and here's a taste i will say right now. last match making one of the presidential candidates in kazakhstan on the system the single women in the country. and my victory at times but ever wondered what it's like to live on toxic i can also find a phenomenon section called when she's trying thomason problems. i

remember the whole mark sound of last summer's football world cup the distinctive drawing of the traditional south africa 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 there was a lot it dates back thousands of years but not at the reporter get aboard the trip only a culture where there's a leap to claim from united money countries ukraine poland moldova romania and the balkans we want to use it at the twenty twelve championship to let everyone know of our roots we're not seeing this instrument as purely ukrainian i would rather see it's purely slavic. those behind the idea to use this is relieved at euro two thousand and twelve say they will try to avoid there was ill effect which brought

complaints from 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 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 vala d.j. in many other musicians. costs under five dollars coming in various sizes and

either clay or plastic but this spotter has been making these birdies for most of her life says the more natural the lead thirty the more positive vibe they make sure their ratios as a lead comes from the solo ukranian so in countries friendly every person coming here for the twenty twelve cup will feel it and this is literally transfer the positive emotions of our land to every fan who uses one of. those pushing this is the need to 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. after months of simulated space for. a crew of three has landed on the red planet the latest phase in an experiment to replicate the conditions of

a journey from mars simulation it recreates all the rigors of long distance spaceflight including solitude and of course basic food our fathers' ports. after more than eight months flying to the red planet the isolated mars five hundred crew are preparing to go where no man has gone before they prepare to take their first tentative steps onto a mock mars this or. this thing the surface of mars now only three of the six are actually going to be entering here they're going to be carrying out experiments in collecting found other programs this are really as a means that mars is going to be monitored for russia's real life mission control and in reality though the crew the spaceship and the planet's surface all just part of a simulated experiment will be one that comes complete with mach emergencies scientific experiments. and no natural light its purpose to learn more about the

physical and psychological demands of long distance space travel the head of the project 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 it won't be until november six hundred 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 until then this simulation is as close as it

gets to witnessing a real mission to mars sarah r.t. . time now to take a look at some other headlines from around the world political in the red sea waves through northern africa ten thousand old jurors have taken to the streets of their capital to demand the resignation of president of the to flick at police detained more than four hundred demonstrators in clashes across the city has officially been in a state of emergency for nineteen years allowing authorities to ban public demonstrations demonstrators ignored the powers following uprisings in tunisia and egypt under the announcement by the algerian authorities that they would end the state of emergency sitting. and arrest warrant has been issued by a court in pakistan for the country's former military ruler pervez musharraf is wanted over there as has a nation of former prime minister benazir bhutto four years ago who's now living in london will go on the wanted list as the fifth if you fail to appear in court in

archie sitting down with m. one from underground political hip hop duo dead prez and one thanks so much for joining us today thank you i want to get started with a topic that you touched upon a lot in your lyrics and that's corporate ownership of the media in the united states for three arise how does that affect what american see on t.v. and why is that a bad thing because the people who have the most interest and or the people who are the corporate ownership itself their interest in. conflict directly with

the reality of the majority of the masses of the people are so you have this very popular song called propaganda and there's a sentence in there that reads you can't fool all of the people all of the time but if you fall the right ones the rest will fall behind yeah i want to ask you has that happened and who was fooling the people that if you if you read in propaganda one hundred one you know media one o one these words are probably engrained in stone because this seems to be the montra you know by which you know media was born in this country out of a kind of the seps in the law that has the interest of the ruling class once again the bottom line media. meaning for the people would mean big of a. who has interest in making sure that even though bomb to being dropped in many other countries in the interest of oil in dollars and and control that we may maintain focus on

a soap opera type relationship between people who are pretty trivial well whose interests are the media more interested in representing in their news coverage that the corporations is that the government is it who is it who is the main kind of entity the media sleeps with well let's be clear you know the media is the right hand of the ruling class it is the voice of the ruling class in this particular country of which we would say less than ten percent own ninety percent of the wealth and resources when one of your songs you say the democrats and the republicans are two sides of the same coin does that mean. you think that obama is just a continuation of george bush obama. representing capitalism being just a continuation of george bush is an understatement. you have a system which was built of the slave of african people to birth

a birth of this economy it gave birth to not only what's happening here domestically but around the world which is what we call today imperialism you have barack hussein obama as also a cogged meaning a small part of the machinery that works the system the same old kind of a rule that happen across the country is still happening in the same a way but represented by a face more familiar face that is usually associated with the our press and poor people so it is important to maintain the kind of programs in campaigns that continuation of even more spending on war was what obama's doing then what bush has done in his previous presidents when you're talking about the events in egypt the poverty of the people that led to these uprisings do you think the u.s. political elite should be fearful that something similar could come here i think the conditions are ripe. for there to be uprisings in the same manner because the

same sort of conditions that existed in cairo exist in new york city exist in miami florida they exist in los angeles you have a ruling class with abuse of power i was recently in cairo. and i was there on a humanitarian aid mission to help the people in gaza in order for us to get to gaza we had to jump through so much bureaucracy and we can understand that not only did either its government what was it controlled by bureaucratic politicians in egypt but israel has a huge stake in making sure that the state of egypt was the way that it was maintained. and that is definitely the situation in the streets look at what we have inside the united states we have young african black and brown subjects community colonial subject being sat down in the street and an obsessive kind of way and you have a song called know your enemy who is the main enemy of the common american people

our main enemy is ignorance not a proper political education this is the enemy of our people because once we can understand diagnosed. what we are living under all human beings who recognize that me and you have human rights will fight for the rights of human beings. the way we are being governmental treats a good sector of our people less than human and the enemy out of this particular time that we're in is lack of information and political education do you think the u.s. has too much power over other countries or tries to have too much power and really getting in the affairs of the businesses of other nations out there who deserve to make their own decisions what's your take on this kind of foreign policy exchange that goes on oh it is power is he who controls imperialism the belly of imperialism is born at the birth of capitalism in this country through

a slave been to africa and its resources which are still being siphoned out of africa and into the world today despite the world media tirade against africa put trade it as this third world place to be this has been the number one place that people have been siphoning resources from for five hundred years power comes from the barrel of a gun and so as many bombs as they can point at whatever foreign country that it plans to control. is reading this and willingness to take this area we see the same tentacles of u.s. domination because of its ability to have its power base here the birth of its strength and capitalism and then the defense of it using military might around the world.
