egypt's new military leadership parliament suspends the country's constitution as allegations of foreign influence refused to go away. a journey outside human experience right when your very own ghost. two cosmonauts make their first steps on the surface of mars a supporter of a simulated flight to the red planet find out the details in a couple of minutes. and a crime that shocked russia a nineteen year old student awaits trial after she allegedly tried to murder mother and brother of the hired hitman turned out to be an undercover policeman. and the russian government has set the price for me to be shares of

a course of privatizing a ten percent stake in the second biggest state lender and the offering is a ready oversubscribed. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow where it's not just after two pm. egypt's military leaders have dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution taking power from deposed president hosni mubarak 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 for nearly three decades on their balance rule some egyptians and arab media are reporting that the eighty two year old former head of state is in poor health and may even be in a coma there's been no official response from cairo to the rumors regarding the

violence. meanwhile after washington called events in egypt a victory for democracy author and journalist afshin rattansi says it's not an american trial. i think the people in tahrir square certainly don't want to see field-marshal turn and. vice president that they don't want these people in power but of course 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 thousand still disappeared the egyptians will remember who trained the people that tortured killed so many of their relatives egypt's economy is in. a lot of those companies that are stationed there have been stealing the money so a lot of the egyptian people might see the muslim brotherhood is one party to watch because they do have social programs and grassroots movements. you school where 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. meantime u.s. congressman ron paul says that washington always tries to buy its way into other countries so it can orchestrate revolution as it has done in egypt. was involved on both sides if 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 it 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 be see american people

and our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe that. and you can watch the full interview with ron paul in less than thirty minutes time right here on r.t. . aloft almost nine months of isolation training and preparation it's all finally paid off cosmonauts have stepped out onto the red planet for the first time now mars five hundred maybe a simulated mission but the planet's surface recreated here in the moscow region but the space walk is monitored by russia's real mission control we can now cross to of course when i knew what was going on there live for us and hello to you go to months of isolated in what must have been an excruciating psychological journey now coming to an end tell me is this the moment that the crew has been waiting for. well i presume so because diego would be russia's alexander the somali as he became

the first people the first men to walk on the martian surface and even though it is a simulation this is quite an important experiment for space travel and this is been backed by both the european and the russian space agency they've now reached and they're reaching the middle of this experiment which is already lasted for over two hundred days the six volunteers who are locked inside the experimental module in moscow which simulates the space ship and the martian surface they've already spent all these months simulating the flying to the red planet just previously they were. they were separated into two groups one the stayed behind the on board off the port of the facility which simulates the mother ship and three people which included a chinese russian and italian volunteer they went into the port of the model which simulates the martian surface itself and its planned that they will spend around

a month there now not very complicated tasks were planned for the first martian walk and they include the planting of the flags and taking samples off the surface of mars and measuring its magnetic fields but two more are planned and after that part of the experiment is done in around a month they will be reunited with the rest of the gang and will begin their simulated journey back home now you know we were looking at the latest pictures here on our team but there's a lot of excitement surrounding this mission isn't it the cosmonauts though they're still here on earth talking what's what's so significant about that. well there is a lot of excitement and attention internationally to this experiment because before a real space flight to the red planet is possible and this is according to all the scientists in both the russia and the europe and in the united states

a lot and lots of experiments and tests have to be conducted this is an international experiment and it's a major psychological test to see how do people live together and work together most importantly in a closed isolated simulated environment they have to go through various tests and experiments they have to. live in simulation in general including emergency situations which may be possible during a real flight no t.v. no internet even communication with the mission control is quite limited and the messages come with a deal a simulating the time it takes for messages to reach mars from earth so this is a really important experiment psychologically and even though this is the middle of the experiment the volunteers have already spent over two hundred days isolated a locked inside in this model they still have to spend. two hundred more days to

simulate this journey back so perhaps this will be the most difficult psychologically for them suddenly plus when you go you're saying that the hardest part could yet be to come is fascinating with a grueling long term experiment that this simulation relation is going to thank you . well still ahead for you in the program here on r.t. money making medicine pharmaceutical companies in the united states are accused of creating and marketing illnesses and treatments that often end up in the lives of patients. and the piece of art has been removed from a new exhibition at a gallery in washington after the government's intervention. well 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 she carefully planned the assassination of her mother and brother

allegedly to gain ownership of their apartment but luckily the diabolical scheme failed then as he has more. going over pins against the wall criminal police were you doing here i've come harun she came home to check that her family's dead the claim of detectives who organized this thing in which this nineteen year old woman tried to mastermind the cold blooded murder of her mother and brother she's admitted her guilt but is awaiting trial for sentence volgograd formally known as is the city with strong but the arctic and family values the motherly figure is sacred for everyone here so most people were in shock as local student tried to hire a hitman to kill her own mother and brother the woman's death died in a car accident for which she blamed her mother the detective say the teenager wanted her dead and everything they also cleaned she wanted her brother killed to

inherit the family apartment they accused a student of coming up with a price for book killings almost thirty eight thousand dollars she also worked out that they were all planned but unknown to her the hitmen for hire she want to do the deed were undercover detectives said we will be holding her captive she has everyone i was at her place that sold and will kill her and dump her in the woods making a movie. the police stepped in after the teenager allegedly approached a friend with the deadly plan officers say she gave them details of her brother's and mother's movements and family photos and supplied the supposed assassins with. the arrest was a total surprise for her she was shocked because she was certain this time it all has to happen she's dealing with serious people and she's done everything right they convinced her by pretending that actually stains the murder of her mother and her brother and they even gave her what they said were their clothes. as proof of

death family related contract killings in russia have been increasing according to investigators close relatives and now behind more than half of all voters for hire and while in the past such crimes were mui sociate with gangsters business disputes and turf wars police say they're becoming more common and simple family roles particularly over property or inheritance. today people are ready to kill their father their mother in their grandma life is measured by square meters of real estate in amount of money in the bank the more expensive the apartment the less is the cost of the owners life prosecutors say they have enough evidence to put the accused woman behind bars for ten years she was found criminally same and is now awaiting sentence in a crime that shocked russia jenna's board. belgrade. now with a perceived failure integrating muslim immigrants into european society the concept

of multiculturalism seems to be losing its appeal in the old world western leaders have one by one method is just not working and could be posing a danger to say we're not going to go has more on this. 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. this approach has failed utterly. my answer is clearly yes it's a failure. the heads of state are now admitting what many observers and radicals have been saying for some time mordecai tourism will 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 danish 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 union 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 was get out of hand the situation remains far from being a fairy tale there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions every time mons two hundred persons. split from all over the city. or the help from the state 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. the money having the kids speak danish and going to schools. that's why there is a discord so perhaps until this difference in expected is resolved the cultural tensions in europe will persist but admitting that the problem exists may be the first step on the way to finding a solution. r t. v dot com has a lot more stories blogs and analysis for you to explore any time you feel like it or some of the items online right now on the question of living in fear in iraq hundreds of thousands flee north to escape deadly sectarian violence. and no love for valentine's day one russian region balance the holiday claiming it's immoral as

the drug company one of the largest is banking on that they believe up to seventeen 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 company's desperate to keep up their profit margin doing things to keep the margins up even though the job or drugs that are poured 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. ever looked at before and it shows you how out of control before a suitable industry 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 one side the world headquarters of one of the largest offender one of the biggest criminal penalties that ever levied against any american corporation and. this drug giant pfizer their illegal practices included essentially hiring physicians to spread buzz about a drug telling their colleagues to prescribe it for a condition it wasn't approved for drug pushers that is a fair way of describing. difficulty 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 tracing

new york. all right well it is coming to you live from the heart of the russian capital where it's now only twenty minutes past the hour let's check out some other world news in brief now a suicide bomber has struck a shopping and hotel complex in the afghan capital kabul two security guards the bomber were killed in the blast the man was stopped by security guards while trying to gain entrance to this center and his vest detonated during a gun battle that followed a little over two weeks ago a suicide bomber killed eight people in the gloom self up at an upscale supermarket . palestinian cabinet has been dissolved as part of a major political shake up prime minister salam fayyad has been asked and asked with appointing a new one comes on the back of the government's decision to hold presidential and legislative elections in the west bank by september hamas which controls the gaza strip has rejected the call for a referendum elections planned for january two thousand and ten were perspired and

this have led some to call the heidsieck exhibition at the smithsonian's national portrait gallery unprecedented the first of its kind groundbreaking since it deals with things like homosexuality lust struggle and religion well actually not religion at least not anymore turns out some people found this work of art a video called fire in my belly offensive. the video was actually shown inside the national portrait gallery as part of the exhibition for more than a month no complaint but then the ropes started complaining the blogosphere exploded and in less than twenty four hours the video was banned and now lives outside this trailer this kind of censorship. i mean. if you don't like don't look at them instead of diverting their gaze

a handful of people mostly conservative and religious activists want to prevent anyone from seeing it they contacted members of congress who are sympathetic to them who then threaten the smithsonian's funding over eleven seconds of video in a four minute work those eleven seconds are of the shot and it's supposed to symbolize society crawling on a crucifix the artist david want to rove it was expressing anger and concern over society's apathy about aids he later died of aids related complications. michael blazon stein one of the organizers of the museum of censored art wanted to make sure the artist message was heard at first he tried to keep it inside the museum putting the video on an i pad and just stood there right at the entrance to the exhibit so this is you that's me when are. and i just stood there

i didn't even talk to anybody i just stood there and anybody who wanted to come up and look at it could look at it within ten minutes he was escorted out and is now banned from the smithsonian for life but he says it's worth it these things are done in the name of the taxpayer but when people are coming in they you know they see museum of censored art and they want to know what the government is trying to hide from them this is just the latest attempt by government officials to censor the expression of artists sometimes they're more upfront about what they want to keep it in. at washington d.c. as union station an artist back in one thousand nine hundred seventy contributed roman soldiers and was told they would need to cover up their quote personal items with shields and then there was the one nine hundred eighty nine robert mapplethorpe exhibit shown at the washington project for the arts after being banned from the corcoran art gallery once again after government intervention

senator jesse helms put a stop to it being shown there after threatening the national endowment for the arts he's conservative he wants to control people he wasn't told what people think he wants to. reality and i think. he's way off base fast forward twenty one years to a metal trailer with no heat and one work of art on display all because a few people consider it fact religious do you think that's what it is i mean religion is always the one thing that still drums up so much controversy especially in our. religion and sex religion and sex two subjects depicted in art for millennia at seemingly lost in the shadows of the free speech clause in the u.s. constitution. christine for south r.t. washington. and in just a few minutes u.s. congressman ron paul tells us what role he thinks that washington has been playing
