killed dozens wounded and morocco too is also seeing on the rest of at least five thousand people taking to the streets of the capital the man thinking about how to give up some of his powers middle east experts modine darrius nazeem roy told us a nineteen year old though the region's in turmoil right now it's hard to say whether it'll 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 or 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 state and nothing's changed it's a formal change because the more barak was a part of the military the military hosni mubarak one the united states and its allies are pleading we had their backs what they're doing right now is something

that we call creating a challenge discourse counted discourses and have a party in governance and in opposition to detroit 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 see if the wise men in egypt which are unelected there are individuals billionaires people who were it part of the status for part of the regime in fact we did not think their mobarak is in power. authorities in the country is experiencing unrest a done signal to the chuen 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 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 of the national interest of the west is

contradictory to the national interest of that region 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 a middle east expert adrian so good she believes that the u.s. is trying to use the unrest in the region in 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 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 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 at the state department finding very difficult to control. elsewhere israel's expressed strong concern over iran's dispatch of two warships across egypt serious 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 iranian warships to navigate those waters since the country's islamic revolution found in some of you know who are these poor slayers escaping across republicans and telling the funny man this man is a minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with at most gravity the passing of these two key rayna 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 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 as well convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is. and weapons through 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 and 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 they 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 free gate and the supply ship to go through. paula slater with the latest for us coming up a stained anniversary cost of over three years since going to condoms from serbia unfazed by recent reports of grave crimes allegedly committed by its made to class america's defense budget is about to be slashed by almost eight hundred billion

how to. know your enemy elisabeth's supper to chill 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 or. 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. 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 subaverage wolf opponents say she crossed the line here a speech is up raged 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 and physical sign of non integration based 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 top 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 exit in the church over our team from piano. writer and columnist. politicians lack of action to europe's immigration crisis. it's a fall of the government's not facing the facts that standing up to reality standing up to the social phenomena is popping up throughout europe in sweden and denmark as well you can 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 to much

multiculturalists. it being represented in the public sphere and now we've 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. you're watching our team from moscow coming up on the program a virtual trip to outer space with a look at a unique simulated. crew and what it could mean for real space travel we progress this program plus flashing opposition on the head seems that's the recipe for a stable country well according to the president way stay with. me wiki leaks revelations appear to show washington attempting to pressure nato a diplomatic cable released by the whistleblower says the u.s. went as far as snooping on the alliance's top official. reports on the allegation.

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 u.s. mole 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 rafiki. 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 nido rasmussen took all mention at 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 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 strong ties between two military organizations such as nato and the c.s.t. you know it's. it is not in u.s. interests i mean. this is an art with the image the alliance tries to project a strong union and. nato 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. washington says left right left right and we march for this

is this is what is happening and in reality that is what people know the documents published so far haven't exactly uncovered anything groundbreaking but if every member in a nato is supposedly equal it has recently over whether the u.s. really trusts the alliance out catarina sarvant r.t. scores 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 the casualties another thirteen dead were identified as taliban militants now it has officially confirmed its troops were involved in the ground an air operations but denied civilian killings a member of the afghan parliament david sultanzoy says such incidents only help the taliban to recruit new members desperate. it's an ugly you are no warrant no one wins but the insurgency thrives on mistakes of the government out 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 government inefficiency and government problems add to that so this is something that the international community and afghan government has to cope up but then learn and also try to isolate the population from insurgency. it's coming from. the u.s. from spurge it's going to be my first the country seeks to slosh national debt from a staggering fourteen trillion dollars the proposed version will see seventy eight billion dollars cuts in defense funding over ten years that is significantly less than you could possibly be four hundred billion slashes in discretionary spending including education food safety and environmental protection but if we are coming cuts washington will still account for almost half of the way the tree expenses from some historic home and told us that the u.s. is love of defense lost 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's no money money that you can spend that 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. kosovo's most three years of so for close to the presidents from serbia the regions unilateral moves backed by the u.s. and seventy five other countries. most your 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 kosovo's leaders including the current prime minister are responsible for serious crimes to more than two million are these include executions abductions and organ trafficking claims which serbia wants the un to investigate these campaign i'm out of gas and she 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 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 roa 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 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 and slavers and villains in a variety of different kinds would be to delegitimize 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 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 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 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. marco guess the russian and british foreign ministers met in london on tuesday in an attempt to turn a new page in their country's relationship rolf and william hague agreed to establish a hotline between downing street and the kremlin to approve indications of all this it comes out in years or simmering diplomatic tensions was really just a little more because that's the most recent spot unfolded see weeks ago which is british journalist was denied entry to russia or after violating a quote it takes from the us it was quickly resolved though the reporter was allowed back into the country. also you know coma is the place we can check out all our stories blogs and analysis from there if you like here's what's online for you right now at our goal call and we invite you the fastest seat belts russia develops an atomic power train which could take passengers further and faster they say than ever before really good bit of technology news that may be fun and more but if it's

your baggage our team. wayne and patty porter drawing fans of the young edition to israel surely not know it is not as it seems you can find out the full story. a unique mission imitating a return trip to mars has reached an important milestone because friday marked the midpoint of the eighteen month virtual journey to crewmembers carried out a second walk of the mock martian surface three russian still europeans and one chinese volunteer are taking part in the mars five hundred project they've already spent eight months in a set of window the chub time lag compensation and mission control and eight miles

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 tuesday and then it will be followed by a nine month journey back home again when a patient from the european space agency explains what the team is hoping to learn . we have to assume. 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 meters and what we see are 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 bring the samples back home is near the cord which of course would not be their will on the real mars and the core supplies 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 the two arsenal scary on there on the break 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 that they have really very interesting go of simulating the first wark on the mars what we can see now is that the two are going to take a break in this. special chairs because each of the space suits is aboard the 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 still would have to take a small break of 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 surreal and so close to reality. the president of opposition will be quote

bashed on the head the message stops destabilizing the country alexander look because warning comes just days after the first person involved in last year's mass protests in minsk was sentenced to four years behind bars thousands of opposition activists took to the capital streets of polls closed in december the presidential election then over six hundred protesters were arrested and more than forty now face trial including several presidential candidates yet its own chief of the magazine russia in global affairs told us that although the opposition in belarus is weak he's still making the question. of position bill ross is not not not serious enough to. really challenge his rule. actually actual results we should force was falsified by you in the increase of fair and free election i'm afraid that the question's going to be not as much but he he she would do it at the same time it's quite strange that he blames the position for being so much
