the military takes interim control in egypt the western leaders congratulates their gyptian people ousting former president hosni mubarak after weeks of revolt but falling thirty years of american bankrolling which kept him in power critics are questioning how much egypt's new democracy will have to answer to you as defiance and also. united states is becoming the way out. of the world. as election season kicks off in the united states potential republican candidates revealed that the balance of the country as a party conference in washington and. trade and potent replied opposed to twenty twelve european championships look at how a very national instrument may make assimilates more squeaky even funds to the

group resemble a last year's soccer world cup. international news live from moscow this is r.t. with me thanks for joining us the gyptian really truly has promised to uphold the country's international obligations as it takes control of following the resignation of president hosni mubarak after eighteen days a widespread and sometimes violent unrest force him out of the armed forces you have a transitional period until a new leader is elected crowds continue to gather in cairo's tahrir square on saturday instead of rationing 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 that some observers question america's sincerity says was do us. and it will and financial support which can't be dictating powell three

decades as also he's going to she can now oppose washington involvement in direction one takes is not going to end with her bar which. 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 thirty years while mubarak was actually torturing people. putting down opposition by force barrack 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 of egypt 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 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 mubarak and suleiman of course they're also military. that they were being no posed by chief of the army and the minister of

defense they have a very cool relationship with it that's it i don't always very very close to robert gates they talked on the phone at least five die this past week so obviously washington will be supervising any sing 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 or parties for many of the great people power of being where the. people who . have. been just a change of pace with. 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 our t. washington d.c. . and british historian and made mistakes that terry colonies says the u.s. has been playing a dangerous game while he's trying folds in egypt. but the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence for a. bend the choice is very clear by the big hole in the army to carry out a block to bury square in front of the well and that was too risky an option for me 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 or. as 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. treated martial power weak 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'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 it to try to control the situation. and in just a few moments more analysis on the ripples from big gyptian on the red. examines

how the president on afghanistan is trying to shield himself from the repetition of the events in iraq also. we've heard a lot of countries that are so vital for the interest we're playing so it's good for us to be in doubt you think so and not just watch keven down and beat you up here before bankruptcy comes knocking the resident tries to find out on new york's treat. as americans begin looking to next year's presidential election in a country in economic crisis potential candidates from the republican policy slugging it out on issues including abortion got a gun ownership 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 on screen all seen who could be vying for a white house. if you've been wondering who i am one of you.

could possibly how we could all lead the washing. up to forty. 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 means one set of values the people to see pack everything here the fact that the next president of 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 leads obama in. 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 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 the israelis 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 the 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 dissension so. some fresh faces are willing to say in with the new out with the old 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. he just be on you. the saucy r. t. washington d.c. . and no matter who becomes the next american president he or she will have to raise the growing challenge of a massive budget deficit it's currently topping one trillion dollars and some on this fair the us is paul the point of no return is new york resident laurie hoffman is take 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 the bottom and what point do you start screaming

about it. so now we're. taking. 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 out 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 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 doubt 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. to come later in the program approaching the right plan that the. five hundred

mission is nearing its destination and that the scientific why for thanks kyra. how the diplomatic breakdown between russia and georgia is passing everyday lives look at also barred by politics. just as the result became this signature sound of the soccer world cup in south africa last year someone hoping a traditional instrument will prove a similar quite a craze for foreigners at the european championships in poland and quene. has been getting some practice. 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 told us 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 border the triple your culture where there's also lots of 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 seeing this instrument as purely ukrainian i would rather see 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 there was ill effect which brought complaints from the sound that the powerful pitch of the african horn was irritating and drowned out the atmosphere unlike a monotonous war over what 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 mixing business says any football fan would master this instrument in no time and those particularly keen could play even more than just football songs. not so the as the norm 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 digits in many other musicians this is really to 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 there's only thirty more positive it's five lire then make sure there ratios as elite comes

from the saw cranium so in countries friendly ever pass and come in here for the twenty twelve couple feel it and this is a little a transfer the positive emotions are valid and every family uses one of those pushing this is the need to hold 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 travel. a crew of three crew of three has landed on the red planet the latest phase in the experiment to replicate the conditions for a journey from mars a simulation recreates all the rigors of long distance spaceflight including solitude and of course basic. fact. after more than eight months flying to the red planet. mars five hundred crew preparing to. go
