marget why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is really large on. the military take interim control in egypt the western leaders congratulate the egyptian people staying for what president called in a bar after weeks of revolt but calling fed to get the american bank rolling which kept them in power but critics are questioning how much egypt's new democracy will have to also take you i did not and also. united states is becoming the laughing stock of the world. as election season takes off in the united states potential republican candidates are feeling that big plans for the country as opposed to conference in washington and. deliberate opponents about how the point to twelve european championships are going

to get a lot of very international instruments may make it simpler but more squeaky batch of a result of a loss to the world. news from russia under around the world this is all see was me but thanks for joining is the egyptian military has promised to uphold the country's international obligations as it takes control the following the resignation of president hosni mubarak after eighteen days a widespread and sometimes violent unrest force came out the armed forces assume power for a transitional period until a new leader is elected crowds continue to gather in cairo's tahrir square as a 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 some observers. america's sincerity says it was us

political and financial support which have been dictating power for three decades as he's going to educate or now reports washington's involvement in egyptian politics is not likely to end with the mubarak regime. 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 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 aren't moved. aurukun silly man of course they're also

military men but they were being know posed 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 times 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 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 later rejected by their own people for targeted so many of these great people power of the king when. people discover balog it 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 british historian and middle east text that terry says the u.s. has been playing a dangerous game while he's trying falls in egypt. the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence frale. 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 the army. freed marshall power week the defense minister as we've already heard is a close ally of the pentagon then takes orders directly the big question washington has is nothing should happen to destabilize. israel that is all they're concerned about and they're also concerned about the effects of this upheaval 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. still to come approaching the red.

five hundred mission is nearing its destination although it's only vachel a scientific one of the experiment is that really real. as americans begin looking to next year's presidential election a country in economic crisis attention comes from the republican party slugging it out on issues including abortion gun ownership and the place of religion in public life but with the u.s. 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 we could be vying for the white house. if you've been wondering who i am one of you. could possibly are we going to let washington co-opt 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 and i will become one of the if you came to the right party that's precisely what it is worth a hundred people to see pack everything here the fact that that's just the united states. it's a good 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 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 this really is use nuclear weapons and he would accept that in a minute. because she 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.

was good we knew there had to be some change and so. 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. you just be on the. end of the saucy r. t. washington d.c. . no matter who becomes the next american president he or she will have to face the

growing challenge of a massive budget deficit is currently topping one trillion dollars and some ominous fear the u.s. is part of the point of no return on his new york resident laurie hoffman is to the streets of gotham to find out if people read it 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 at the bottom and what point do you start screaming about it has too much invested in dollar to let america. so now worth something that someone else has to take care of. no but if anything happens there's going to other countries who are going to do that for us is that fair. it's always

really tough on 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 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 or we mean there's a lot of countries that are surviving for the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in debt you think. 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 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. just as they resent the horn became the signature sound of the soccer world cup in south africa last year some hoping a traditional instrument will prove a similar quiet grace for fans of the european championships in poland and ukraine . has been getting in some practice.

remember the whole mark sound of last summer's football world cup the distinctive droning of the traditional south african horn there was ill luck. meet its equivalent for the euro two thousand and twelve championship to be held in ukraine and poland this whistle is called is only named and shaped after a cuckoo and just like there was a lot it dates back thousands of years but at the reporter the trip only a culture where there's a lead to came 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 saying this instrument is purely ukrainian i would rather say 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 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 unlike a monotonous roar of a who was there all 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 because nukes as any football fan would master this instrument in no time and those particularly keen could play even more than just football songs. 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 this is really to 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 then make sure their ratios as a lead comes from the solo ukrainian soil our country is friendly ever passed in coming here for the twenty two hours couple feel it and is elite still a transfer the positive emotions of our land everything and ease is 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 you can always check now website at. other news stories and pages and here's a taste of all of that right now. in moscow and try again one of the presidential candidates in kazakhstan system mario in the single women in the country.

a journey to and from laws they simulation week raids all the rigors of long distance spaceflight including solitude and of course basic food. for poor. 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 will be. this thing elated 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 they are the crew the spaceship and the planet's surface all just part of the simulated experiment one that comes complete with mach emergencies

scientific experiments space the natural light it's 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 girls' 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 that. 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 the vendor six hundred forty days after they first began that the men will get to touch down back in reality it 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 as close as it

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 americans see on t.v. and why is that a bad thing off and on because the people who have the most interest and or the people who are the corporate ownership itself their interest. conflict directly with where 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 fools of right ones the rest will fall behind yeah i want to ask you has

that happened and who was pulling the people i bet if you if you read in propaganda one hundred one you know media one o one these words are probably ingrained 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 and the line that has the interest of the ruling class once again the bottom line media. day meaning for the people would mean big government who has an interest in making sure that even though bomb to being dropped and in many other countries in the interest of well 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 is it the corporations is it 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 way but represented by a face more familiar face that is usually associated with the oppressed 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 talk to you 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 set 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 the 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 began to understand that not only did egypt's 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 a 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 governor 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 us has too much power over other countries or tries to have too much power and really getting in the affairs of the businesses. 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 no it is power is he who controls imperialism the belly of imperialism is born at the birth of capitalism in this country through it in slave 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

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 bow barrel of a gun and so as many bombs as they can point at whatever foreign country that it plans to control. is readiness 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.
