horses saw six people killed dozens wounded morocco's also sitting on rests with at least five thousand people taking the streets the couple were demanding king mohamed give up some of his powers at least expert mahdi darrius now say what i have told our team that although the region is in turmoil now it's hard to say whether it will see any fundamental changes. these are revolts they're not revolutions yet people's mindsets are revolutionary they want change they're fed up with these are revolts until the structures in place change in what we consider 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 is taking over nothing's changed it's a formal change 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 that we call creating

a challenge discourse counted discourses that have party in governance and in opposition to get control both sides now i'm not saying that the protests aren't genuine the protests are absolutely genuine an organic but the fact is that the united states is trying to put its own opposition figures into position to seek leave the wisemen in egypt which are unelected the individuals billionaires people who were it part of the status for part of the regime in fact who did nothing for mubarak is in power. authorities in the country is experiencing unrest dancing in the childer the west rather than listening to the people so says the president of the u.k. out of lawyers association. certainly the unifying factor is that all of them have had enough of tyranny an awful dictatorship the governments that have all been so soft into 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 the arab 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. she believes the u.s. is trying to use the unrest in the region its own interests but could have difficulty controlling it. one 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 low turnout 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 regime change was on the way

because of the age of hosni mubarak and what you reckon some of the problem altogether so i think that we have a generalized situation which the united states the state department finding very difficult to control. israel's expressed strong concern over iran's dispatch of two warships across egypt so as kamau 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 they will be the first to rein in washington navigate those waters since the country's islamic revolution of my thoughts. are these paula slayers keeping across developments for us telling me honey you don't mind that many home 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 to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard today from the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman

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 is all convinced an israeli official saying as a matter of the past few years that iran is supplying with. 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 took in officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there is nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed there for gate on the supply ship to go through. reporting the story lot to come for your course here on r t including this hour a stained anniversary kosovo three years since the plane itself independent from serbia unfazed by a recent report of grave crimes allegedly committed by its leader got an update on that for you. rand america's defense budgets about to be slashed almost eighty

billion dollars but some say it's just a drop in the ocean compared to the massive cuts other areas are facing. the european union mission to help italy deal with a wave of immigrants from north africa more than five thousand people poured in from chewed busier low during the past week and officials agree the situation's out of control the wave of migrants comes just as europe is seeing a vicious debate over multiculturalism as the leaders of major nations admit it is 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. met up with . a european citizen peacefully debating islam with a muslim is nothing unusual in a march a cultural country like for instance but it's a topic not always discussed in such gentle fashion i advise you not to burn the koran about your read. about studying what islam stands for will be learning how to

play to know your enemy elisabeth's supper to channel has been on trial and it be on a 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 who are you to 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. the same view 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 proponents say she crossed the line here a speech is upgrade not only the muslim community but also made. it's not

a 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 multiculturalism 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 there is this should say 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 your fellow likes are taking

a stance against self segregation a torpedo 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 bully employers debate on the ground and the future shape of your exceedingly great show for our team from vienna there is writer and columnist with yelling says it's politicians lack of action that's led to europe's immigration crisis. it's a fall of the governments 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 subjects can be criticized and and be painted with it we've allowed that too much

multiculturalists doc mazin top moves to it 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 melting pot seems not always to achieve a good mix either later this hour we report on how white supremacist still run deep within society.

but very little damning the white. are the key to our problem our own right. washington attempting to pressure a diplomatic cable released by the whistleblower says the u.s. went as far as snooping on the top official. reports on the other guy actions. 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 rafi. when under spog rasmussen was looking for closer ties with the collective security treaty organization made up of former soviet states the u.s. was quick to veto the idea after a private dialogue with the u.s. representative to nido 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 it has one of nato is key players 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 in the c.s.c. is not in u.s.

interests. this isn't odds with the image the alliance tries to project a strong union opinion matters night 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 is what people know da. humans published so far haven't exactly uncovered anything groundbreaking but if every member in nato is supposedly equal it has raised questions over whether the u.s. really trusts the alliance at all. scores of civilians have been reportedly killed of 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 baiters officially confirmed its troops were involved in the ground an air operations but denied civilian killings a member of the afghan parliament. says such incidents only help the taliban to recruit new members of the desperate locals. it's an ugly war nor no one wins but the insurgency thrives on mistakes off the government of the international community and casualties are the perfect mistakes for them to drive on and to to seize up on in a news public opinion in their own favor and also government you know you should see 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. afghan m.p. doug speaking to us there. the us defense budgets going under the knife as the

country seeks to slash national debt from a staggering fourteen trillion dollars the proposed version will see seventy eight billion dollars cuts in defense funding over the next 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 account for almost half of the world's military expenses defense some historic only told us that the u.s. is a lover of defense comes last forever. the defense budget is that it's actually higher now than it was at the peak level is spending during the cold war we're spending more on defense than they are spending during the war in vietnam as well and defense spending in our country is actually double since two thousand and one so really i think we need to do. 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 you 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 span for all these security needs and he said listen you know there's no amount of money that you can spend they can actually take our risk down to zero 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 u.s. we really just can't afford to increase the pentagon budget year after year as we have been doing over the last decade. in the program we'll take you to outer space soon for a look at a trip to mars which took place earlier this week the. motive national crude

will bring up to date with the latest from plus. a position on the that's the rest of the. country according to the president to stay with us to have some analysis about that story. kosovo's mark three years of self proclaimed independence from serbia the region's unilateral move was blocked by the u.s. and some to five other countries most u.n. member states including russia have not recognized it as a separate nation the anniversary was marred by a recent report the document claims that concert as leaders including the current prime minister were responsible for serious crimes during the war and nine hundred ninety nine these include executions abductions and organ trafficking claims which serbia wants the u.n. to investigate these campaign about told us the u.s. and the e.u. don't want their roles in the balkans conflict. the key thing is when if we go back to those eleven years to when serbia was being bombed when people were being

butchered on bridges in schools and hospitals and rowing stations where people were being killed in the name of a supposedly good albanian leadership that needed protecting with its population those crimes that were committed a great service at that time were so huge that to admit that in fact the reality was that the albanians that the u.s. was sponsoring at the time were in the steelers and slavers and villains in a variety of different kinds would be to the legitimize one's own propaganda operations so they couldn't go back from their original claims without admitting that they'd be lying all along particularly nine hundred ninety nine and that would have meant that those who bombed serbia were culpable in criminal terms for that bombing and should answer before international courts 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 there seems to be nobody charged with the task of actually investigating technologies

findings so it will require a brave brave security council and a committee security council one that wants the truth to actually appear and i have my doubts whether that will appear out of the security council. mission imitating a return trip to bars reached an important milestone this week friday marked the midpoint of the eighteen month virtual journey two crew members carried out a second walk on a mock martian surface three russians two europeans one chinese who are volunteering to take part of the mars five hundred project they've already spent then eight months in a set of windowless chub is with time like conversations with mission control and e-mails to their families their only outside contact scientists are studying the psychological effects of such a long journey the third virtual walk should happen on chile's day it will be followed by a nine month journey back home again many push off from european space agency explains what the team. we have to assume. this is

xander from russia. 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. were doing is collecting soil samples and preparing them to bring the samples back home is me if the cord which of course would not be there all on the real mars and the core supplies the to us to know it's. with electricity and also with air and of course in the real martian mission that all would be in the big prick to us the notes carry on there. they are doing very well so. everybody was really surprised that everything is going so bill

rating one of the reasons for that it's. really very interesting go. simulating the first wark on the mars what we can see now is that the two are going to take a good. and these special chairs because each of the space the woods is a board thirty five kilogram and also if you would expect a real mission on mars we could expect that after ten or fifteen minutes astronauts would they 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 time and that's that's the main reason why this is so so real and so close to reality. that story's online the whole project chronicled our dog carmen talking speeding travel something quite as fast but still getting there fasten your seat belts on line night rush is developing an atomic powered train they say which could take passengers further and faster than ever before really
