minutes. ten am here in moscow this is r t thanks for joining us now we begin in egypt where the country's military leaders have dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution taking power from deposed president hosni mubarak well the higher military council said it would stay in power for six months or until elections are held a committee is now being formed to amend the constitution and set laws for the interim period egypt was governed by martial law for nearly three decades under mubarak's rule now the military is clearing the degree of makeshift shelters from card rooms main square which was the epicenter of the nationwide uprising good washington calling events in egypt a victory for democracy author and journalist afshin rattansi says it's not their triumph. but i think the people in tahrir square really do want to see feel we.

vice president that they don't want these people in power. it is not an american victory and the people in tahrir square want to see the back of the army that was trained in the united states and we must remember more than three hundred dead thousand still disappeared and the egyptians will remember who trained the people that tortured killed so many of their relatives egypt's economy is. in chaos a lot of the companies that are stationed there have been stealing the money so a lot of the egyptian people might see as the muslim brotherhood is one party to watch because they do have social programs and grassroots movements whether they have been useful when they've been clever in the past three weeks is a different matter because their leadership some might say maybe out of step with those in the grassroots organizations of the muslim brotherhood runs which creates

housing and food distribution so on to to the poor of egypt. it was congressman ron paul says washington always tries to buy its way into other countries so we can orchestrate a revolution as it has in egypt. were always involved on both sides. if our puppet dictator can last we keep propping him up when we see the tide changing then i'm sure our cia is involved in the opposition they can be in earlier and later they try to pick up the pieces this doesn't mean they have total control over you know we control the iranian situation we had the shah in there for a while but eventually the next revolution we didn't have control and then we end up with the ayatollah so long term i think it hurts us on the short term we will always try to buy the influence and stay involved and could we see american people and our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe them. but you

can see the full interview with juan paul in less than thirty minutes here on our. our military contributor says the u.s. must admit its defeat in egypt and shift its focus back to the situation in afghanistan compare afghanistan and pakistan and we have egypt you my trailer is that what looked. as an abject failure for the u.s. policy in egypt after all these highly appreciated success under mubarak regime egypt has built one of the most professional army is in the region if only as i could have accomplished what mubarak did for egypt he would be praised as it smashing a success story for the u.s. policy in afghanistan regime cost only one point five billion dollars a year compare that to almost seven billion dollars a month to prop up

a puppet regime in kabul and now you give the flare that situation in afghanistan is much worse then in egypt and that's why it's high time to concentrate and focus how the united states is going to breach the gap between its democratically service for egypt and legitimizing corruption and drug and warlordism in afghanistan. now many in egypt have been voicing their discontent at forward forces at play in the country well later peter lavelle and his cross-talk guests discuss where the revolt should go next. it's really a red herring this question about whether the united states is involved we're involved that's a reality we have to deal with it the question is how do we shape that involvement so that we. do understand we have nobody is trying to undermine the regimes nobody is trying to undermine the leadership of the united states and the fact that they have their own interest every country has

a right to have interest and to defend loose interest but what the united states have been doing in egypt is not to defending interest as in any other it has been for intervention they have this to belies the egypt they have called off to the egyptians they have neutralized egypt egypt has not been allowed to be a sovereign country for three decades and this has got to end the egyptian people are making it very clear that we are reclaiming our own sovereignty. but you can watch that discussion on cross-talk in just over an hour here on r.t. . popular unrest stirs up northern africa there are fears of a fresh wave of immigrants flocking to the e.u. but the old world is not waiting for them with open arms western leaders have one by one admitted the policy of multiculturalism in europe it's not working artie's if you go to school has more. the concept of multiculturalism seems to be failing

all around europe we fail to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to by law oh this approach has failed utterly. my answer is clearly yes it's a failure it's usually the heads of state are now admitting what many observers and radicals have been saying for some time more to culturalism only function if the people come into the country have a job to own their own money and feel responsible for the for the community otherwise was jobless people and if they live a passive life with social welfare and the passive approach can sometimes evolve into extreme action denmark is home to more than half a million immigrants making up almost ten percent of the population or didn't see it why the nice town the birthplace of hans christian andersen one of the world's best known storytellers but the story unfolding here has nothing magical about it clashes between danes and groups of somali imposed in youth have rattled this

neighborhood for more than a year locals say car burnings and violence between immigrants and police are a familiar sight one neighborhood to different worlds and their voices are being raised about doing something before tensions involves more is get out of hand the situation remains far from being a fairy tale there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions if we take those two hundred persons. split from all over the city. or the whole from the state and police and kick them out of the country we won't have any problems but some immigrants believe the main issue isn't the different issue of integration. the danes think the integration means becoming fully danish immigrants have to eat drink and live just like the danes but those who come here think integration means binning. the money having the kids speak danish i'm going

to schools. that's why there's a discord. so perhaps until this difference in expected is resolved because true tensions in europe will persist but admitting that the problem exists may be the first step in the way to find a good solution. r t and still ahead in the program money making medicine pharma companies are accused of creating and marketing illnesses and treatments that often end up in danger in the lives of patients. and a piece of art has been removed from a new exhibition at a gallery in washington after the government's intervention. now it was a case that shocked russia's southern city of volgograd when a nineteen year old student apparently tried to execute the cold blooded murder of her own family while she carefully planned the assassination of her mother and brother allegedly to gain ownership of their apartment but luckily the diabolic

percent of us dogs are suffering from this mental affliction it's an idea some would scoff at i definitely understand being skeptical so is this really a quest to help feisty fido's or is it a sign of this problem is desperate to keep up their profit margin doing things to keep the margins up even though the job or drugs that are reported in the pipeline is diminish it turns out those companies don't need doggie drugs in order for critics to make that case medical researchers crunched the numbers and found the pharmaceutical industry now tops the defense industry as the number one de fraud or of the u.s. government that was a following that i didn't expect. really ever looked at before and it shows you how out of control before the street is in some cases criminally out of control perhaps helping this industry go from selling forty billion dollars to two hundred thirty

four billion dollars a year in prescription drugs over the last two decades companies have been cheating and in danger in patients their biggest violations are overcharging the government by billions and illegally marketing their drugs for uses they are proven safe or effective for while side the world headquarters of one of the largest offenders one of the biggest criminal penalties that ever levied against any american corporation and. this drug giant pfizer their illegal practices included eventually hiring physicians to spread buzz about a drug telling their colleagues to prescribe it for a condition it wasn't approved for drug pushers at the ages of zero we've described and never called t.g.v. or again and when it comes to the drug companies disease pushers may not be an unfair way of describing them either that's what one filmmaker found or tracing a newly minted disorder female sexual dysfunction itself was definitely something

that the pharmaceutical industry really pushed for and had a hand and creating that's the conclusion cancer came to after following the process of a drug company developing a female by agra she says only a small number of women who needed it but the company has other plans their marketing and the amount of money that they were pouring into it really is says that they're trying to sell this to the whole population restless leg syndrome and with commercials store prescription drugs airing on t.v. in the us companies are in a position to do just that you feel better with billions being made and not much to lose critics say even in the case of crime for this industry nothing is likely to change it lest people go to jail worse before age or much larger. companies will follow it is cheaper to cheat stopping short of nothing to find some syndrome someone or something new to medicate lauren lyster r.t.
