when and you spoke rasmussen was looking for closer ties with the collective security treaty organization made up of former soviet states the us was quick to veto the idea after a private dialogue with the us representative to nato rasmussen to all mention of the two organizations growing closer out of his address to the alliance in two thousand and nine but why would the us try to pressure its allies. as one of nato as key players tries to prevent the alliance from growing too close to the russia in the former soviet bloc because the region is of strategic interest to america they of course would prefer to build exclusive bilateral relationships the strong ties between two military organizations such as nato and the c.s.c. is not in u.s. interests. this is an odds with the image of the alliance tries to project a strong union where every opinion matters even the people in the street understand that washington is calling the shots. left right left

right march so this is what is happening in reality people know the documents published so far haven't exactly uncovered anything groundbreaking but if every member a nato is supposedly equal it has raised questions over whether the u.s. will really trust the alliance at all gas trainers are the r.t.e. . with fresh revelations about the us and still reverberating with peyton james up there why the secretary general's special representative. and you can watch the full interview a little later in the program but here's what he had to say about all position within the alliance. a new decision takes all member states all twenty eight so what washington wants has a very important influence there is no doubt but of course what the other allies want also has an important influence i don't want to underestimate the influence

that washington has within the alliance it is it critical member it's a very important member and honestly speaking of the military capability and political leadership of the united states nato is absolutely essential and everybody wants it but it could influence but it can't decide. the shockwave he will listen up he was in tunisia and egypt have spread all across the great to me at least with opposition protests sweeping through other countries in the region clashes between rival demonstrators have once again agreed to yemen in wolf now the eighth day of undressed government activists have been gazing social networks to call for as many people as possible to have this treats on friday they were demonic they are demanding the country's president saleh to step down after a modalist thirty years in power closures also erupt in jordan's capital amman

where antigovernment demonstrators are calling for reforms and abolishing the peace treaty with israel has bought them to be away at least thirty five people have been killed in clashes with security forces police are reported to have used firearms despise the crowds meanwhile in egypt people once again gathered in tahrir square to celebrate a week since hosni mubarak about to huge pressure on him to quit the presidency and i led the military council which runs the country suspended the constitution and dissolved both houses of parliament maybe a special as james for mccain's college in london that there are no significant changes in egypt so far because mubarak's associates a still in power. is interesting to see today. a crowd celebrating the successful ousting of mubarak yet this hasn't really been a revolution in a traditional sense mubarak's power structures his cronies are still really in a similar place as they were before this so while the battle to al smith has been won the war over the future of egypt has really yet to be fought and we see what

happens next in terms of real constitutional changes changes to the state of emergency whether political parties can rise out of the ashes of mubarak's authoritarianism the genie has well and truly been let out of the bottle and the reverberations from what happened in tunisia and now being felt in every single states and i think that you know as the persian tales go if there were to be three wishes from the genie out of the bottle the government would wish that the populations would accept the compromises they've made the population seem to wish that their leadership disappeared and international community seems to be busy wishing that it knew which side of the fence to sit on. soldiers in bahrain had fired tear gas at thousands of protesters evaded and governed by in the capital of men nama at least fifty people have been injured this comes a day after at least a fire were killed in demonstrations against the current regime in the country british authorities are now revoking some arms export licenses out of concern that

weapons supply to bahrain could be used against protesters but human rights watch dogs are calling for an embargoed all arms supply. we can see across the middle east that the government is selling to repressive regimes all over that this could happen to any a point in and we've got to be aware that when we sell the both non-lethal and lethal equipment those will be used and. generally at some point they will be used on someone innocent the u.k. government needs to seriously reconsider how approaches arm sales in the first place not only have these arms be licensed to be so rude overseas in the case of bahrain. they are actively promoted as such the u.k. government and actively promotes arms sales to a number of the presses of regimes this very weekend the u.k. government is sending representatives out to the large arms fair in abu dhabi it's a good idea that it's over which the arms industry trade body in the k.

claims ten percent of its exhibitors will be british at this spare and the u.k. actively encourages is these companies to sell including the very equipment that is being used to protesters in the middle east to seriously look at not just where the selling to a specific country is and which i is a good idea but whether but how it should be selling arms and if it should be selling arms to talk. is the these weapons are widely misused and the u.k. is a textbook criteria which look good on paper very rarely applied with any record. incur curren that in from the moment why hundred program have carried out that second wall corner vachel surface of the red planet it's part of a unique project that simulates and nineteen month mission and iran had to shell from the european space agency explain to the meaning of being a texan. we have to assume know what this is like sunder from russia. from china doing their second walk and you see

a simulated martian surface which is no more than forty square meters and what we see of the two were in the in their space suits which are pretty close to what we would expect for real marshall martian mission and what the two are doing is collecting soil samples and preparing them to bring this simple spec home is near the cord which of course would not be there on the real mars and that core supply used to us to know it's. electricity and also with air and of course in the real martian mission that all would be in the big pick or two us notes carry on their break they are doing very well so. everybody was really surprised that everything is going so bell everything one of the reasons for that is that they have this really very interesting goal of simulating the first wark on the mars and what we

can see now is that the two are going to take a break in this special chairs because each of the space you would see is about thirty five kilogram and also if you would expect a real mission on mars you could expect that after ten or fifteen minutes astronauts would there would have to take a small break the major point here is that they are really all everybody of them is really focused on their toes and that's that's the main reason why this is so so real and so close to reality. and you can follow the whole mission to malls in our website. home and if you are called make fun of british cartoonist and i have something for you the story of the first man in space you regarding this trip gets retold once again in a comic adventure book based on the true story. of the glimpse of the possible in professional lives of

a modern. nobel prize winner the first and the only president of the u.s. to sign on. and let's now take a look at some other international news stories around the world the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has harshly criticized the taliban and given it a stark choice in a species and a very. good militant group has to either give up on those and abide by their country's constitution or face the consequences of being america's enemy it comes as washington tries to secure the support of afghanistan's people to split the taliban up from al qaida the international terror network it's been fighting with. in haiti thousands of supporters of ousted president is wrong bertrand aristide

marched through the capital poor they were reacting to news of one leader was planning to return a leading member of parties as he could be there before presidential elections in march washington fears his arrival could destabilize the country. and of the u.r.l. america has vetoed a draft resolution condemning israeli settlement building as illegal all saltine other members of the security council approved a motion that insisted israel stop construction on the west bank and east jerusalem . is another blow to the middle east peace process with the palestinians now saying they will reassess their role in the talks and it's the first veto used by the obama administration the israelis and palestinians have been long time enemies both of those who are desperate to save their children because it takes a back seat and israeli clinic is saving the sounds of youngsters lives for many

for many neighboring countries even those who have had tense relations with. paul. every our way is touch and go for fourteen months i don't know whose little heart was born with a hole in it for the operation in this hospital my son would have died and in the next ward fourteen year old one yell who was almost did when she was wheeled in one of five iraqi children flown from baghdad to a month and then driven across the border to jerusalem she was almost that she was so sick that you could not walk very talk she was very blue these parents faced the most difficult decision of their lives bring their children to israel a country at war with ease and risk punishment and even death back home or prepare for the alternative possibly losing their child initially it was a very difficult for them because it was their enemy country the parents were very anxious they didn't know what to expect i was very scared to come to israel very

frightened. and she had good reason to be her country iraq forbids its citizens from traveling to israel just fire them there's there might be a layover in another country like i know for instance from africa they come in there ethiopia because it's the only place in africa that was. before the israeli doctors that treat these arab children the decision is simple i am doing what i think is right to do and doing rethink youth. in the last fifteen years more than two and a half thousand children have been brought here on third and treated half of them come from gaza the rest come from iraq indonesia and across africa the main goal of this organization is to help developing countries create the medical ability to treat children with heart problems by themselves in order to achieve that we bring children from these developing countries to israel we also bring doctors from these developing countries for training here in israel and it's

a vision that's paying off not only is saeed eternally grateful to the israeli doctors the. saved her daughter's life she's now brave enough to tell her neighbors back home to home what on i will tell everyone we were in israel and how they saved my daughter's life i'm no longer afraid to say because my daughter is alive and so while the politicians continue to have a go at each other and israel and the arab neighbors go further apart on the ground at least in this spot a very different story is unfolding very closely r.t. . and i'll be back with our top stories in less than fifteen minutes and next it's time for our culture show moscow out this week martin enters discovers how to make life more affordable in the russian capital known to be one of the most expensive cities in the world.

understand why such coupon collecting could be seen as uncouth. i think it's really about having common sense and being proactive in the very very expensive city. moving into the strictly central market here campbell it's just like fresh produce stated to be affordable but to do makes the question in the extreme world of retail industry so where we're meeting this week suggest. it's so tell me how i'd be living here in moscow now for about a year. nine months initially went back to the u.k. and decide it's come back and stay for a little bit longer now maybe a couple of years which would be because i know what you think about the prices here in the russian capital the price is very i mean there are so many different prices for different things some things are really expensive other things are really cheap and so it's a big mix of getting used to walk costs one compared to the. moscow's famously said to be one of the most expensive cities in the world what you think is cheap because

there are all lots of different things public transport ridiculously cheap i love it i use it quite often so for me really great taxis if you want to pick up even a gypsy cab a couple of pounds can get you several miles which we see in the u.k. you're paying in least ten fifteen pounds if you're in london i really like the business lunches if your lazy and don't want to cook you can riaz is one of the only three courses two or three four pounds you know it's fantastic what you think is free you know here in moscow the galleries free there's some com says an exhibition which are free and there's a really good website which i use where people exchange information about where you can go evenings you can go to conversation classes all these different aspects which don't cost anything and it's just because people want to share that information i also think that with all these new restaurants clubs like clubs open all the time i think that there are more promotions in moscow and opening nights none of us are party to so much harrah's parties going to other cities new york paris yeah i mean i've been to

a couple of days which are either cheap or free and i've heard about those three. thank you very much. and expensive. might be difficult but not impossible.

oligarchs and champagne aside for most it's a regular mega city full of cost cutting committees he didn't watch what they spend and as the aspiring middle class flourishes in moscow it may be cheap and cheerful will be the way forward. well i feel better already and it didn't cost anything well unfortunately that's and that's how we have on this week's program about moscow i'll see you get the same time next week for more cultural inventions around the russian capital until then for me and the rest of the team by now.
