bringing you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we've got the future coverage. as america prophesied of the arab spring we'll look at how radicals for hijacking the revolutions could backfire on washington's main ally israel. the un it fails to agree on the deming serious crackdown on demonstrators as russia says it believes the worst of the violence. the world's leading financial body predicts america's rate on the economics for all will be over in just five years and china will grab the crown. of the u.s. federal reserve because the country's economic growth forecast for this year expecting a three point three percent growth we'll have more on what analysts think about

this and the impact on russia in our business or. let me out in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. miriam joshie america's course for democracy in the arab states could see even spiral out of washington's control groups with radical islamic wings are lining up to fill the power vacuums or charm merging and as artie's policy reports there are ramifications for america's closest middle east now like. these gunmen mean business and they're upping the stakes just that little bit higher. here is the egyptian regime and zionist enemy trying to stop us for interest in girls or but we always go to weapons we needed to fight the zionist enemy. and now they give more than they could if a hopeful but for me gyptian president hosni mubarak's main gone. the borders

couldn't be easier to get through to go to the big wins in the whole world. who. have much more freedom to do whatever they like. and they doing it smuggling weapons into gaza the result two attacks in three months on a natural gas pipeline that supplies a quarter of israel's electricity which is why is the us claims it's bringing a new tomorrow to egypt most israelis would rather remember just a year the eagerness of the united states to topple the former egyptian president hosni mubarak and bring about regime change as i want to meet most candid closest ally in the region israel the u.s. says it wants to establish democracy in the region but instead of the market is a very real possibility that radical islamic could come to power the u.s. strongly supported the opposition in libya despite al qaeda connections among its ranks now it's apparently governessing support against syrian president bashar

assad but the wiki leaks website claiming that washington has been funding some anti-government factions. who but is afraid that if you go all the way. the muslim brotherhood can do exist so instead of incident in syria we're going to islamist you swapping one dictator for what could be worse if and when medicals come to power they are likely to direct the arms at israel it will be very conscious of that that syria is not libya and the fact that if you do decide to intervene in syria you have knock on effects across the region in iraq in lebanon to israel palestine what if when you throw it israel might face from an even more hostile arab world emerging from the president stability some experts believe the security of the jewish state is not under any grave threat israel has never been among so please one of the greatest lies the mother and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli products so. it is israel's being in danger of annihilation

i detail in the three volumes of my book is a complete israel's existence is never in danger in the convolution of a military force and that he's unlikely to change in any foreseeable future. but the functions on the ground aren't giving up hope and there are men this one thing is it is worse to come. a time of defeat and retreat is over now it's time for the israeli people and the israeli enemy. israel is keeping quiet amid the current chaos in the middle east and north africa but behind closed doors will be plenty of disquiet here about how much america's desire to make new friends in the arab world is fueling serious instability policy archie tell of the un has failed to agree on an e.u. propose statement to condemn syria's brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters

russia says events in syria did not cause a threat to international peace saying the decision could only provoke more violence meanwhile the syrian army has deployed more tanks and reinforcements in the south more than four hundred fifty people have been killed since the protests began over a month ago and while the un is urging an investigation into the violence washington is pushing for sanctions at least experts say syria can be dealt with by the other arab uprisings. the west in those instances don't like the leaders they don't like and they don't like i said they don't like the regime in both countries however the situation is slightly different. the regime in syria. syria. region and certainly i think the intervention of the west in syria if it's going to go down the same line has started in libya i think that would be very disadvantageous to the west and to the security of the region i think it would be.

rather. everybody is claiming that they are stopping the killing but if you go down the line of following what we've done in libya i fly zone and the rest of the measures and indeed if we begin to. distance within these countries this is literally just having more trouble in the region resolving in the west is gunning for iran and gunning for other regimes in the region in particular syria and i think the next one is going to be also. still ahead for you this hour the indians with a cast of flash a new burgeoning generation of middle class service with an eye on spicing up their lives. and new tasks for russian students although it's one did not want to get a high score as they are scanned for narcotics. russian

police have killed two militants who are being linked to local terror attacks in the volatile republic of dagestan earlier security forces laid siege to an apartment building where the man were hiding and launched a counter terror operation in the capital. police say they found a car of the yard with explosives inside which looked like suicide bombers about another counter terror operation was launched on wednesday and another attack is tiny region one two policeman died and three were injured in a shootout with militants. leading economists predict america's age well and in five years the international monetary fund forecast that after more than a century as the world's largest economy the u.s. will be served by china as early as twenty sixteen are the scale and ford looks of the sun's definitely rising in the east. when china wakes it will shake the world pulliam two centuries ago. but american politicians in economists would have

a little more time to this news but in twenty years ago francis fukuyama declared that economic and political liberalism was the end of history the democracy is really all there is the final and most advanced stage of societal development what i was referring to was really the growth of highly of universal consensus on the you know the just justice of the rightness of the principles of liberal democracy that was really remarkable about our world. today the world looks much different just ten years ago the u.s. economy was. three times the size of china's put new data released by the international monetary fund shows the chinese overtaking the u.s. by two thousand and sixteen that's just five years china is a authoritarian you know half capitalist country growing like busters they do all these big infrastructure projects very fashionably high speed rail airports typical

comparison to other u.s. and chinese economy use currency as their basis but using purchasing power parity the i.m.f. says that the chinese economy will grow seven point eight trillion dollars over the next five years the u.s. economy on the other hand will only grow three point six trillion this leading to the lowest world economic output by the united states in its history just seventeen point seven percent and some economists say twenty six t. is a conservative estimate real more realistic term china will pass as a little bit sooner than that but that's only five years and i think this is huge implications and that it's those new liberal policies such as deregulation and tax breaks for big corporations that have created a huge wealth gap in the u.s. and held american development back. to the backs of. the average is and they see that china's rise flies in the face of

fukuyama skeery china's definitely a refutation of the idea of. says what works for me here is an economy where the state controls and then we have a banking system. most of the word corporations the control investments which is you know twice as much as a percentage of g.d.p. as it is in the united states. and. so for us is a growing economy and in the history of the world. an economy that has lifted three hundred million chinese out of poverty while the number of americans living in poverty increased from thirty one point one mil. to forty three point six million and just the last ten years or so would fukuyama revise his theory it's hard to say i still will bet on a system of checks and balances over a you know even a good quality authoritarian system keelin for an artsy washington d.c. person foreign policy watchers it's not as though america doesn't have the money

it's the world's biggest military spanner and israel is tell other nations are being much cleverer with their cash. give you a stark example. in iraq may have nerve going to trillion dollars perhaps two trillion dollars worth of the us are cartoonish except for string go this all over iraq absolutely not because the monster because of threats will be exploited by russian chinese molitor and japanese companies and we take from there we'll let you show called the contract in iraq won't be china or do we went to the government don't buy gas pipeline from western china and we're spending a single round for gov so you know where to get it going to get at least thirty percent of it because the direct so if you but the difference between the first spectrum probably didn't spread from the very end of the agreement that the medal.

but. by the chinese it's not just china that excel or writing the words canonic supremacy india is seeing the growth of a new middle class as appetite for spending is growing with it are these pretty straight are reports from new delhi. tell you all is living the dream age of twenty eight the former investment banker is now running a restaurant and bar in the heart of south delhi then usable if i were to put it from my father would have to. finance to do this to find some opportunity in this from my own can of the caribbean. but in the past ten years india has experienced enormous change and with it came a new set of hopes for the world's youngest population as a market is huge the opportunity to huge. ordinances and spend money tales bars located inside this small one of around six hundred magnum malls that have sprung up in india within the past decade proves even by

a desire to. get that good. and there's a lot of money. both complain could desire and ability is one of the big. today indians can get just about any international brand from hong kong to the u.s. to the u.k. it's access has changed the mentality of many to remember for ten years the people . conciliatory number. says the group is there never know the globalization is there so people are you know thinking in a very different from manner india's economy is booming twenty five years ago ninety percent of the population lives on less than a dollar a day like twenty twenty five forty percent of the population here will be classified as middle class and with a growing income when you think a new culture of consumerism and brands from around the world are ready to cash in on it it is

a huge country. one point two million population and so even if everybody's friends i don't be so it's a huge sign but despite the success most indians are aware that the country still has a long way to go and while things are moving in a new direction there is a large portion of the population who is at risk of being left behind and that this baby is widening their way because of the rich rich wasn't getting richer and the poor class is getting poorer but largely middle class indians and especially the young working demographic try to focus on the positive and watch with pride as their country comes of age and is able to achieve a global status they always believed was possible it's the woodpecker for us i mean already arrested used to think that popular population is a burden but now it is even the area lazing that the more the people the more the purchasing power the more the mining the more the economic times. that is difficult for the world to ignore preassure either r t new delhi india. always run you

through some of the news and features we've got a lion. a touchy subject for you as a beauty queen who claims that opting out of a full body scan at american airports left her with a pat down that was too close for comfort in the case of separating fact from fiction as alleged arms smuggler victor both sides to clear his name and his lord of war reputation catch the story of our city dot com and watch our eye catching video reports on our you tube channel. is.

the official. called talk from the. video. and. you'll want to. call america's national security team faces a major we shot a look talk and i don't get to stand general david petraeus is expected to take over the cia while the current intelligence chief will replace robert gates as the band secretary are to consider wayne madsen says president obama is making a team which shares his long term military vision. one of the people being replaces are u.s. ambassador to afghanistan former general carl icahn barry who we know has. had

a cool relationship with the obama white house and also a cool relationship with betray us looks like president obama is basically cleaning house of anyone who might question his very aggressive foreign policy secretary defense gates has been somewhat reluctant to commit u.s. ground forces or even u.s. special forces personnel on unlimited bases in the libyan can't conflict so what we're seeing now is obama wanting to put leon panetta who is basically a former democratic congressman he was chief of staff to president clinton he's basically a democratic party hack although he has had has served his term at the cia as a director and the other issue of course is making general david petraeus the director of the cia replace saying mr panetta and we all know that petraeus the author of the guy who came up with this whole surge in iraq in afghanistan is somebody that

the neoconservatives certainly like they even were talking about running him for president on the republican ticket what this is showing is that there is a trend to militarize the central intelligence agency which is after all and has always been run by civilians it's been pointed out that leon panetta is actually the first democratic secretary of defense since one thousand nine hundred ninety seven there may not be as much independence in reluctance issuing forth from the pentagon when obama wants to place the u.s. and yet additional wars in in libya potentially in syria and continuing this covert war in pakistan and possibly in yemen we could see u.s. troops. children who barely american teens could face drugs test in russian schools the country has a severe problem with a number of addicts and most start their habit early as eager of arriving poets drugs counselors worry to focus prying the wrong way. this moscow student

is taking a drug test voluntarily but the freshman president dmitry medvedev has his way hundreds of thousands of students and even school children as young as thirteen all become full surly that's the week when you see what you feel a lot of parents are saying a compulsory drug testing is unethical but i think what's behind your allotments is an unwillingness to face the problem which prevents their children from racine proper treatment our country has not dealt with this problem with compulsory drug testing in education establishment has already been piloted in several russian regional although so far only voluntary to put it on the rage had been approved countrywide field employed by an influx of drugs from again with its estimated there are over three million regular illegal drug users in russia most of them under twenty five despite protests from human rights groups fearing the stigma dies ation of young children by association with drugs and officials insist that they

must start at school but. we want to catch people not when they are drug addicts when they're younger and not just try drugs to ascertain whether there might be a potential risk for developing an addiction to. their mission it has raised questions of not just ethics but effectiveness and there's laundry rehabilitation said that in moscow there's skepticism about the tests but if you don't think it would have changed anything for me when i was in school i wanted to take drugs at the time so we just did towards the end of school i wasn't even hiding my drug use that much. more than the us being i am categorically against these tests i remember my own reaction to them test will alienate and provoke feelings or weaken him it was a rotten even less also some will cheat and that will give them a sense of invincibility a. psychologist at the center said a proposal actually don't go far enough. this measure will just give us the

statistics of who takes drugs not the solution but we're going to kick out all those who fail we will those students go what are they going to do to treat them. the moment there are only one hundred sixty state sponsored drug rehabilitation clinics and. about one for every million of the population hundreds of new ones will have to be built so the addiction specialists trained simply to cope with it upsurge of patients identified but a compulsory drug drug the thing in. the right direction but it could prove beyond a headline grabbing measure of how the program really well people drugs are a little something. i preferred now and some other stories from around the world the two main rival palestinian organizations have reached

a reconciliation deal which will see hamas and fatah form an interim government in six an election date within a year the masters been in power in gaza while running the west bank for more than four years but israel's prime minister said the palestinian authority can't have both peace with its country and was hamas which has carried out bombings for several years. here a force of open fire and a huge demonstration in the yemeni capital killing twelve people and injuring almost two hundred tear gas and live rounds were fired into the crowd with some of the town then wearing civilian clothes it comes after a deal was reached and president within thirty days but the protesters want him to go immediately. a roadside bomb has detonated in pakistan's largest cities driving a bus carrying navy officials four sailors and a pedestrian who was nearby have been killed several others are wounded it's two days since deadly blast in karate also targeted navy busses the taliban says it carried out those bombings and threatened further attacks. britain's prince william

our welcome to the business here in r t thanks for joining me the u.s. federal reserve has cut the country's economic growth forecast for this year chairman ben bernanke he says he expects growth to be around three point two percent compared with the previous forecast of up to three point nine percent has also significantly raised the inflation forecast to up to two point eight percent having previously expected to be it to be around one and a half but american interest rates will remain on hold because the fed's reluctant to make any quick moves to combat higher inflation or slow down growth however we could greenback may have a negative effect on russia. we color is it doesn't build us imports from the russian economy in not in in one sense your weaker dollar pushes our commodity prices come out increases the amount of revenue structure redmond's in russia purposely a good thing on its own but you know when you've got a roy seeing oil price over a longer period of time it creates its own problems in russia it makes it much more

difficult to do a lot of the reforms that are necessary in this country sir while in the short term in my proposal to end the longer term it actually has its own problems so that we could all of a stronger world prosper ideally what russia would like to see i think a stable door price over a longer period of time which would allow the economy gradually to diversify away from oil and generates industries which will be able to. generate economic growth over the muscle strength of. a clerk of the markets japanese overnight gains on wall street after the federal reserve policy decision to make is trading really want to have to send higher exporters are benefiting from the overnight weakening in the yen it's your financial group climbed one point six percent and can make an icon is overturned a half percent but sony dropped four point eight percent to rank among the major losers hong kong and mainland chinese shares on the rise as well and dressed like pretty markets started the day on a positive note as well the r.t.s.
