forces saw six people killed and dozens wounded middle east expert mahdi darrius messing with told r.t. that although the region is in turmoil it's hard to say whether they'll see any fundamental change and. these are revolt stand out revolutions yet people's mindsets are revolutionary they want change they're fed up with these are revolts until the structures in place change be considered revolutions in order for democratic position to occur people need to elect their officials right now we're not seeing that we're seeing the status quo in egypt the military state nothing's changed it's a formal change because the more barak was a part of the military the military housing all right one united states and its allies are politically heading their backs what they're doing right now is something called creating a counter discourse counted discourses and have party governance and this was a trickle site now i'm not saying that the protests are genuine the protests are

absolutely genuine organic but the fact is that the united states is trying to put its own opposition figures into position to see leave the wisemen in egypt which are unelected there are individuals billionaires people who were it part of the status for part of the regime in fact who did nothing for mubarak who is in power. authorities in the country is experiencing unrest advancing to the choosing of the west rather than listening to their people so says the president of the u.k. arab lawyers association. certainly the unifying factor is that all of them have had enough of an awful dictatorship the governments that have all been so subservient to the west that this goes against the will of the people in that region generally speaking the interest the national interest of the west is contradictory to the national interest of that region of countries have a problem with israel they have a problem with the americans they have

a problem with capitalism and this is going to this is a unifying factor middle east expert. told us he believes the u.s. is trying to use the unrest in the region in its own interests but could have difficulty controlling it. so we definitely do have the peoples of different countries of bahrain of the definitely of iraq of libya of yemen of egypt seated who really want to have change now the other aspect that i think we have to be very careful about is that this will be and i think it is probably being either macro manage and control them and probably is going to be used to favor the interests of certain global power structures the united states would like to see regime change in iran but at the same time they would like to see no regime change in bahrain and in egypt they probably knew that would do treat was on the way because of the age of hosni mubarak and what you wrecked is another problem altogether so i think that

we have a generalized situation which the united states at the state department finding very difficult to control. israel's expressed strong concern over iran's dispatch of two warships across egypt soon as canal prime minister netanyahu says the move will bring even more tension to an already unstable region the two ships are due to sail through the canal on monday on route to the mediterranean will be the first arabian was ships to navigate those waters since the countries of the islamic revolution of nine hundred seventy nine and their family is keeping across developments forcing on television. this many prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with at most gravity the passing of these two iranian warships through the suez canal to the mediterranean sea he says that it's really an attempt by terror and to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard today from the israeli foreign minister other don't need them and he says that this is nothing short of provocation israel and

iran have not had diplomatic relations for the past thirty years and israel is concerned that iran is sending weapons to its neighbors that will ultimately be used against the jewish state israeli soon relations are strained as well convinced an israeli official saying as a matter of the past few years that iran is. supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land up in the hands of his beloved in lebanon now the united states is adding fuel to the whole situation the u.s. state department recently set up a twitter account and it is using their twitter account to post tweets in farsi that supports anti iranian government demonstrators out on the streets of tehran we haven't seen the u.s. state department do anything like that supporting or even expressing any kind of opinion on the same kind of demonstrations that are happening in yemen since nine hundred seventy nine since the iranian revolution there have been no iranian warships that have actually passed through the suez canal this is the first major diplomatic headache for the egyptian interim government for the ruling military

council as you well know president mubarak had a close relationship with the united states he was an ally of the u.s. and at the same time relations between him and the rand were strained for the past thirty years it is not clear exactly why they gave permission we haven't had any insight on that but what we have been told reported is that it dipshit officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there is nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed the for gate and the supply ship to go through. with the middle east protests rampant the e.u. is launching a mission to help italy deal with the wave of immigrants from north africa more than five thousand people poured in from shoe museum alone during the past week i'm officially agree the situation's out of control the wave of migrants comes just as europe is saying a vicious debate over multiculturalism leads to major nations but it's not working despite the current mood however one outspoken critic from austria has gone on

trial for speaking out against the rights of religious groups artie's catron approach over with. just a night out of a european citizen peacefully debating islam with a muslim is nothing unusual in a march a cultural country like france but it's a topic not always discussed in such gentle fashion i advise you not to burn the koran about your reading. about studying what islam stands for we'll be learning how to. know your enemy elizabeth supper to chill has been on trial and again of course on charges of making what is described as a hate speech against as long a left we all stand magazine recorded and published a speech at one of his seminars lending her. i have nothing against people who want to practice their faith. but i would like them to do this in the privacy of their own homes your ideas she says are nothing new and when europe's political elite

expressed them they are not prosecuted for the same views multiculturalism has failed this is nothing new and my group and i have been saying this for years now all of a sudden. and others come out of hiding and agree with us i don't know why but elizabeth somebody each will proponents say she crossed the line here a speech is up rached not only the muslim community but also made. it's not. matter of free speech that i can spread hatred about large groups of society you know we have to respect individuals in our society and we have to ask them to integrate and we have to help them to integrate yet european leaders such as german chancellor angela merkel french president nicolas sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron say mostly culturalism in europe isn't working there are

huge muslim communities but frequently such as in all strata they leave in their own areas a physical sign of non integration business districts in vienna is known as the little people here speak their native language they prepare their national dishes and wear the clothes which they are used to and this is exactly was elizabeth subject wall found here a fellow like taking a stance against self segregation at talk which was once taboo is now at the top of the european political agenda with multiculturalism now open to multi criticism from some of the continent's most influential political leaders we've yet to see how their views might fully enclosed debate on the ground and the future shape of your seat in the actual by our team from piano. writer and columnist. politicians lack of action that's led to some aggression crisis. it's

a fall of the government's not facing the facts standing up to reality standing up to the social phenomena popping up throughout europe in sweden and denmark as well you can't you can't blame a whole. group of people for not doing this or that but you can you can blame the politicians for not dealing with the problems not not turning them into a subject can be criticized and and be painted with it we've allowed it too much multiculturalists doctor as in top moves to being represented in the public sphere and now we've gone gone even further to practice legislation against hate speech against the defamation and limiting the free speech and and the soul which is european we have to start opening up to criticism and start forming a new policy and the united states known as the world's biggest cultural pot to achieve a good makes a. report on how white supremacist mood still run within society.

they will wear uniforms. but very little damning the white. they are the key to our problem our own right. what he makes revelations appear to show washington attempting to pressured nato a diplomatic cable released by the whistleblower says the us when his father

snooping on his top official. reports on the allegations. cat among the pigeons whistle blower strikes again this time at the very heart of nato according to documents published by two european newspapers a us smile was planted right in the office of the alliance's secretary general several of the cables revealed by wiki leaks indicate america is trying to control nato from within reporting confidential information back to washington this point of view is supported by some of the documents allegedly sent by u.s. diplomat jeff rafferty. when under spog 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 u.s. representative to nato rasmussen took 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. i mean as one of nato as key players the u.s. 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 with the go strong ties between two military organizations such as nato and the c.s.c. is not in u.s. interests i mean. this is an odds with the image of the alliance tries to project a strong union. members knights who is a group dominated by the united states of america that in fact it's not an alliance of tool in the sense of being sovereign states. it's a bogus alliance people in the street understand that washington is calling the shots so. left right left right and we much so this

is this is what is happening in reality that people know do. it's published so far haven't exactly uncovered anything groundbreaking but if every member a neato is supposedly equal it has raised questions over whether the u.s. really trusts the alliance out catarina star of an r.t. . schools of civilians have been reportedly killed in nato led operations in the north east of afghanistan over the past few days women and children are said to make up almost half of the casualties another thirteen dead were identified as taliban militants mater's officially confirmed its troops were involved in the ground an air operations but denied civilian killings member of the afghan parliament. says such incidents only help the taliban to recruit new members among desperate locals. it's them like you are no warrant no one wins but the insurgency thrives on mistakes of the government of the international community and civilian

casualties are the perfect mistakes for them to thrive on and to to seize upon in a news public opinion in their own favor and also governmental inefficiency and government problems add to that so this is something that the international community and afghan government has to. learn and also try to isolate the population from insurgency thoughts there of afghan m.p. . the us from splodge it is going to long for the country seeks to slash national debt from staggering fourteen trillion dollars the proposed version will see seventy eight billion dollars cuts in defense funding over ten years but significantly less in comparison with the four hundred billion slashes in discretionary spending which includes education food safety and environmental protection but even with the upcoming cuts washington will still work for almost half of the world's military expenses from some historic home and told us that the

u.s. number of defense can't last forever. the defense budget is it's actually higher now than it was at the peak level of spending during the cold war we're spending more on defense and they are spending during the war in vietnam as well and defense spending in the country is actually double since two thousand and one so really i think we need to do a better job of matching our resources and our priorities i think since two thousand and one in this country we've sort of gotten into the mindset of buy everything do everything in a sense we've decided that if we can spend enough money we can sort of in a way address every threat that's out there we can buy perfect security and that's just not realistic actually secretary gates was testifying in front of the house armed services committee and he was asked about this very idea you know how much money do we really need to spend for all these security needs and he said listen you know there is no money money that you can spend they can actually take our risk down to zero and that's just it's an illusory concept so we need to do

a better job as i said of matching our resources and our priorities and at this moment time with the difficult economic situation in the us we really just can't afford to increase the pentagon budget year after year as we have been doing over the last decade. come up with a program we'll take you to outer space tonight for a look at a trip to bob's which took place earlier this week a unique journey by a multinational crew will let you know how they get on plus. bashing opposition on the head what's the recipe for a stable country according to the president of belarus a witness for some analysis on that story. kosovo's about three years of self proclaimed independence from serbia the region's unilateral moves backed by the united states and seventy five other countries most you had member states including russia have not recognized as a separate nation the anniversary was marked by a recent council of europe report the document claims that constables leaders

including the current prime minister responsible for serious crimes to more than one thousand nine hundred nine these include executions abductions and organ trafficking claims which serbia wants the un to investigate these campaign america gas which told us the u.s. and the e.u. don't want their roles in the balkans conflict two of. the key thing is when you go back to those eleven years to when serbia was being bombed when people were being butchered on bridges in schools and hospitals and roa stations where people were being killed in the name of supposedly good albanian leadership that needed protecting with its population those crimes that were committed a great service at that so i was so huge that to admit that in fact the reality was that the albanians that the u.s. was sponsoring at the time were indeed stealers women and slavers and villains in a variety of different kinds would be to the legitimize one's own propaganda operation so they couldn't go back from their original claims without admitting

that they'd be lying all along particularly in one thousand nine hundred nine and that would have meant that those who bombed serbia were culpable in criminal terms for that bombing i should answer before an international court so of course it would be very difficult for them to say actually yes we are indeed wrong we were wrong we supported the wrong side and that that was the one step too far for them it seems to me nobody charged with the task of actually investigating technologies findings so it will require a brave brave security council and a committee a security council one that wants the truth to actually appear and i have my doubts whether that will appear out of the security council. a unique mission imitating a return trip to boss ridge an important milestone this week friday marks the halfway point of the eighteen month long virtual journey two crew members carried out a second walk on a mock bosh and surface three russians two europeans one chinese volunteer a mocking taking part in the mars five hundred project they've already spent eight months in

a set of windowless tube with time live conversations with mission control and e-mails to their families their only absolute contact scientists to study the psychological effects of such a bomb journey the third virtual walk should happen on choose day it'll be followed by a nine month journey home again any pressure from the european space agency expects . we have to assume no it's this is oleksandr from russia. from china doing their second mass walk and you see a simulated martian surface which is not more than forty square metres and what we see of the two when the in their space suits which are pretty close to what we would expect for real martian martian mission and what the two are doing is collecting soil samples and preparing them to print a simple spec home is me if the cord which of course would not be there all on the real mars and that core supplies are the 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 to us the notes carry on there on the break they are doing very well so. everybody was really surprised that everything is going so bell writhing 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. shares because each of the space you would see is a board thirty five. and also if you would expect real mission. we could expect that fifteen minutes most of those with it would have to take a small break at the major point here is that there really everybody of them is really focused on their toes and that's that's the main reason why this is so real

and so close to reality. full of stories about that project. trouble of a different kind now almost as fausto online for most not as well foster you see because russia is developing an atomic power train which could take passengers they say. will be full of stories online. and paul says magic is cast a spell of millions of fans of course across the world but now we reveal in mind he's great he's drawing a crowd to find out why people are flocking to the musicians resting place or is it that's the crux of the story it's in israel to find out more about.

the president better off his opposition will be quote bashed on the head and less and stops destabilizing the country alexander lukashenko is warning comes just days after the first person involved in last year's mass protests at minsk was sentenced to four years behind bars thousands of opposition activists took to the capital streets and polls close in december presidential election over six hundred protesters were arrested at the time and more than forty now face trial including several presidential candidates the editor in chief of the magazine russia in global affairs told us that although the opposition in belarus is weak it's still making the question communal. opposition bill ross is not not not serious enough to really challenge his rule. actually the election results which of course was falsified by you in the increase of fair and free election i'm afraid of the question who would win not as much but he he would do it at the same time it's quite strange that he blames the position for being so much important but.

why in this case. huge repressions saw it seems that will question because steele is quite nervous about any kind of or. allowed activities in billows opposition is weak look our show is nervous it's world news a brief sunday night now at least ten children have died in an orphanage plays in the coastal town of hop solo in weston a stony the majority of the disabled thirty seven children and nine out also inside the building when it caught fire the cause of the blaze is so far the stony and presidents announce that monday will be a day of mourning throughout the country. seventeen people have been wounded in two successive attacks by suspected muslim insurgents in the south of thailand the first took place in the restaurant which came under heavy gunfire then half an hour later a car bomb was detonated nearby last week another blast wounded eighteen people and
