on rest of the beast five thousand people taking to the streets of the capital rabat demanding king mohammed give up some of his powers middle east experts muddy darrius resin royer told r.t. that although the region is in turmoil it's hard to say whether it will see any fundamental change and. these are revolts and 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 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 for egypt the military state nothing's changed it's a formal change the more barak was a part of the military the military housing all right one united states and its allies are pleading we had their backs what they're doing right now is something that we call creating a counter discourse counted discourses and have a party in governance and in opposition control sites now i'm not saying that the

full question genuine protests are absolutely genuine and 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 quo 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 children 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 often enough of dictatorship the government that have all being selfish to the west that this goes against the will of the people and i think generally speaking interest the national interest of the west is contradictory to the national interest of that region that 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 fact that. middle east expert i don't support she believes the u.s. is trying to use the unrest in the region in its own interest but it could have difficulty controlling it once so we definitely do have the peoples of different countries of burying of the round definitely on the rack 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 managed and controlled even 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 while iraq is another problem

altogether so i think that we have a generalized situation which the united states in the state department finding very difficult to control. israel's expressed strong concern over iran's dispatch of two warships across egypt to is commercial promise and the move will bring even more turn should are already unstable region the two ships are due to sail through the kamau or monday on route to the mediterranean they will be the first to radiate warship to navigate the waters of the country's islamic revolution. development. israeli 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 tel ran 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 is really soon relations are strained as well convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land up in the hands of his very in lebanon on 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 they have been know 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 unite. 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 the on the supply ship to go through. paul asli our correspondent coming up on our team a stained anniversary course of about three years since it proclaimed independence from serbia unfazed by recent reports of grave crimes allegedly committed by its leader reporters and say coming up tonight plus america's defense budget is about to be slashed by almost eighteen billion dollars but some say that's just a drop in the ocean compared to the massive cuts other areas are facing but of

analysis there for you to come in off. the european union is launching a mission to help italy deal with a wave of immigrants from north africa more than five thousand people poured in from two mizzy alone during the past week and officials agree the situation is out of control the wave of migrants comes just as you are seeing a vicious debate over multiculturalism is the business of major nations admit 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 as a country to grow cho for. 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 worried. about studying what islam stands for we'll be learning 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. 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 actual proponents 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 of the year old isn't working there are huge muslim communities but frequently such as in all strata they leave in their own areas and physical signs of non integration there is this should soon be an eis 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 what hell is about subaverage wall found here a fellow like south taking a stance against south 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 police believe it we've yet to see how their views might fully enclosed debate on the ground and the future shape of the exceeded of their children our team from piano. politicians lack of action to europe's immigration crisis. it's the fault 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 criticised and in deep it is good we've allowed it too much multiculturalists to darkness and top issues to being represented in the public

sphere and now we've gone even further to practice legislation against hate speech against a defamation and limiting the free speech and in the soul which is european we have to start opening up to criticism and start forming a new policy this is our team from moscow coming up in a program we're taking on a virtual trip to outer space we take a look at a unique simulated journey to the red planet by a multinational crew and what it could mean for real space travel that's ahead plus bashing office issued on the head that it seems is a recipe for a stable country well according to the president of. stay with us with some analysis that state. may 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 alliances top official parties catarina reports on

the allegations. cat among the pigeons. 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 rafter. 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 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 strong ties between two military organizations such as nato and the c.s.c. it is not in u.s. interests. this isn't odds with the image of the alliance tries to project a strong union where every 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 march so this is this is what is happening in reality that people know do. humans published so

far haven't exactly uncovered anything groundbreaking but if every member a neato is supposedly equal it has raced questions over whether the u.s. really trusts the alliance out catarina as our. schools of civilians have reportedly been killed with nato led operations in the north east of afghanistan over the past few days women and children is said to make of 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 voted sultanzoy says such incidents only help the taliban to recruit new members among desperate locals. it's an ugly or nor an no one wins but the insurgency thrives on mistakes of the government and of the international community and civilian casualties are the perfect mistakes for them to drive 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 work and learn and also try to isolate the population from insurgency. also from. speaking to. newest a firm sponge of school going to my first the country seeks to slash national good from a struggling fourteen trillion dollars the proposed version will see some of the billion dollar cuts in defense spending over the next ten years but significantly less in comparison with the four hundred billion slashes in discretionary spending which education for safety and environmental protection but he will have the upcoming cuts washington will still a code for almost half of the world's military expenditures defense lower connelly told us that the u.s. and other of their friends lost forever. because budget is is 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 doubled 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 testify 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 amount of money that you can spend that 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 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. three years of self proclaimed independence from serbia the region's unilateral moves backed by the us and seventy five other countries most un member states including russia the have not recognized it as a separate nation the anniversary was marred by a recent council of europe report the document claims that kosovo as leaders including the current prime minister were responsible for serious crimes during the war in the late one nine hundred ninety s. they included executions abductions and organ trafficking claims which serbia wants the un to the best of a peace campaign the mark of gas and told us the us and the e.u. don't want their roles in the balkans conflict. 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 rowing stations where people were being killed in the name of god supposedly good. 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 the was with me 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 in one thousand nine hundred 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 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 the security council and the 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. the russian a british foreign ministers met in london on tuesday in an attempt to turn a new page in the country's relationship sort of a lever all of them william hague agreed to establish a hotline between downing street and the kremlin to prevent any patient probes visit comes after years of simmering diplomatic tensions between london and moscow the most recent spot unfolded just two weeks ago when a british journalist was denied entry to russia or after violating accreditation rules quickly resolved the reporter was allowed back into the country. check out our t. dot com place you can get more stories blogs nurses have your say as well online right now fasten your seatbelts that's the invite russia is developing an atomic powered train which could they say take passengers further and faster than ever

before you get the background on this exciting technology story and i'll take. this brain of harry potter drawing fans of the younger generation to israel but all is not as it seems as you'll find out if you take a look at our team. a unique mission imitating a return trip to mars has reached an important milestone as friday marked the midpoint of the eighteen month virtual journey to crewmembers carried out a second walk on a mock martian surface three russians two europeans and one chinese volunteer are taking part in the mars five hundred project as they've called it they've already spent eight months in a set of windowless chews with time lag of conversations with mission control and

e-mails to their families their only outside contact scientists are trying to study the psychological effects of such a long journey the third virtual walk should happen on tuesday that it'll be followed by the month journey back home again. from the european space agency explains what the team is hoping to learn. here for to us we know it and this is. from russia and. china are doing their second book and you see a simulated martian surface. not more than forty square meters and what we see of the two were in the in their space suits which are produced close to what we would expect for real martian my. mission and what the two are doing is collecting soil samples and preparing them to bring the samples back home as we have the cord which of course would not be there or on the real mars and that core supplies to 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 take the two astronauts carry on there on the back they are doing very well so that. 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 march and what we can see now is that the two are going to take a break in these special chairs because each of the space the woods 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 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 task and that's that's the main reason why this is so so

real and so close to reality. the president says opposition will be quote bashed on the head unless it stops destabilizing the country alexander lukashenko warning comes just days after the first person involved in last year's mass protests admitted school sentenced to four years behind bars thousands of opposition activists took to the capital streets as polls closed in december presidential election of a six hundred protesters were arrested then and more than forty now face trial including several presidential candidates editor in chief of the magazine russia and global affairs told us that while the opposition in better or worse is weak it is still making ricocheting. opposition bill or. not serious enough to really challenge his rule. actually the election results which of course was falsified by us in case of fair and free election i'm afraid that the question would be not as much but he he would do it at the same time it's quite strange that
