made allegations of the ruling military is a bloody practice as egyptians question whether their revolution for justice and democracy has only import and place another dictatorship. economy it's the security of the leaders of russia and china joined their central asian counterparts for its new summit focusing on the challenges facing the reason you're looking at live pictures of stan where the meeting is taking quite some. time more anger threatens to spill onto the streets of greece and the face of public pods as people's trust in government plummets with the nation's economy. and in business this out foreign investments are heating up with german company companies volkswagen set to invest more than one hundred million euros in russia's

burgeoning. upbringing the full story and around twenty minutes time. now i am in the russian capital you're watching our. welcome to the program the jailing of at least seven thousand people by egypt's military rulers will be reviewed by the nations in. amid allegations of torture and abuse the behavior of the army since taking over from the ouster of hosni mubarak is causing anger amongst those who took part in the revolution many are skeptical whether the generals are able or even willing to bring about the democratic changes so many died for artist or even ask their reports. tahir agent never sleeps. the eighteen day uprising that ousted president mubarak has woken up the hell

nation these has become a common scene here and this to. amnesty international estimates at least eight hundred forty people were killed and more than six thousand wounded during the protests that forced a tyrant to step down but even in a barrack free country the resume for fear and frustration. read his brother was among fifteen young men killed in the violent religious strife but his cairo just weeks after the revolution egyptian christians and muslims clashed following reports that a young christian woman was kidnapped and held in a coptic church after she married a muslim and converted to islam but even though he was a christian coptic it wasn't a muslim that killed read his brother. an army sniper shot my brother dead a bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the other side and i saw it if no one here has

a weapon like this only soldiers do it's hard to grasp what happened. rather blames the army for taking the life of his younger brother and the revolution given the army so much power. that we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't mind answering but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect that at all that it with the people of egypt didn't expect many things they didn't expect the economy to collapse. they didn't imagine the path to a free and democratic society would be such a bloody and painful one they just wanted to free from dictatorship and didn't expect it all to find themselves and to get another one in military one the power in egypt now since mubarak is out rest firmly in the hands of the military chiefs of staff. they were sitting literally in the pentagon war room when the twitter revolution started they are running the show there has been no displacement about

military power but this is a washington installed as i call it in my book full spectrum dominance to democracy the people who stood on deaf ears where we jubilant the regime that oppressed them for more than three decades was going how pharaoh as they call the dictator would soon finally face justice for what he's done but months on the revolutionary euphoria has got as well and people are asking themselves was that's really worth the hundreds of victims and did they really get a better country in. egypt is at the crossroads it could go to was chaos or democracy the worst scenario would be the army continues to rule and the country sinks into blood from a civil war it's up to the people to decide. months since the free it shook the arab world it's clear the revolution may now be part of history but the fight is far from over. here rights watch dogs

report little sign of positive since president mubarak was forced to leave but activists david says there is growing evidence of crimes committed by the military some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spirits charges of course of course insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not attentions of people who. you know tried to undermine the regime but people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding to describe regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it still

has to overcome if you just is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play here rights activist david keyes coming on reports thousands been arrested in egypt the military rulers since taking over from ousted hosni mubarak. now from fighting terrorism and extremism to the economy across central asia a powerful group including regional heavyweights russia and china is meeting stan the presidents of iran and afghanistan were also invited to the tenth anniversary. summit and will hold talks with russia's president tests are silly is following the events. with the tenth shanghai cooperation organization. taking place now starting it off are the six member nations of the coming together basically to look back at the ten years and see the accomplishments that they have achieved to set the future objectives that they may have will they are also going

to be joined by the heads of india and pakistan all three of which are observer. and all three have also expressed their intention to become a member so though there are still some obstacles to go over the requirements of. the countries also here is the head of the country is here as an invited guest has also applied for observer status and it is expected that at the end of the summit a decision will be made. by. now when this first formed ten years ago the problems that they wanted to come together are the three forces they named this terrorism separatism and extremism as well as to receive all of or to avoid border disputes and ensure cross border stability but ten years later it has expanded far beyond that and for this specific summit they said they want to give full time to economic and financial issues and specifically setting up a special account or

a special fund for its part has already committed ten billion dollars for member nations should they ever ever needed to get over. crisis or effects of the economic crisis now for russia what's important to the foreign minister. has stated before the summit that russia is looking forward to signing a five year plan to drugs it is a very big issue for russia. here is a good thing they will be able to discuss issues between the two countries especially since the source of ninety percent of the drugs coming into russia now also the group of course will come up with a common approach to be issue. but the world is facing today such as the situation in north africa and the middle east and also they will be discussing post nato afghanistan again it is good to have a set is here to discuss that issue with the security of that country is essential to disappear or of this group of nations now again only ten years old is trying to

break into the world stage so to speak and they are looking forward to adopting a un resolution stating the stronger cooperation between the c.e.o. and of course at summits like these it's not just to be main event that's interesting there will be meetings on the sideline us for a russian president dmitri medvedev he will be meeting with iraq. and afghanistan hamid karzai so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of those meetings reporting from. there and of course we'll be keeping you across what's happening there now there's plenty have for you in the program including why the u.s. is building a secret cia drone base in the persian gulf by militants in yemen. are you went to the waters of the arctic and plunge deep down to look at the titanic what were the two russian many so doing at the bottom one of viewers largest.

a second rescue package for greece is once again on the table of european finance officials athens has already received one hundred ten billion euro in a new one will go hand in hand with even more crippling cuts forced on the public angry administering measures placed on their. side of the greek parliament which has been the epicenter of protest. athens is widely expected to receive. packets from its very same. european finance hammering out the details of that rest at the moment that trying to prevent your areas. people's opinions on whether greece is going to the folds of his payments vary widely some people are saying that it's fantasy to imagine i'll be allowed to happen now that people are saying really now it's a question of when and not a single thing happening here on the streets of greece where here this and tied

with protest later on today we're going to see a seizure number of protesters taking to the streets they're going to be ending up at the main call in the building and they're going to be protesting against the proposals full of these new austerity measures that they say a completely unreasonable now they said the angus really been building for a year they've come up against incredibly tough economic conditions there's a number of unemployed the late stages say the sixteen percent is great what pulls out of the job so really the food of new measures being put in place of that is unreasonable and there's been lots of people asking when the troika that the i.m.f. year if his central bank and the e.u. either provided the initial bailouts to the chain of one hundred ten billion euro it's going to look cost the bad move on supplant b. because the thought that grace can manage another better package and pay back that loan for a lot of people is simply unrealistic the phrases that have been happening here

outside the parliament building have been compared to the arab spring uprisings what's so interesting about the process we see happening in these here you think countries like spain like greece is that these are countries with an established democracy many people consider greece the best place in democracy what people here are saying is a wise inning in the gap between what the government implements a and what the electorate a cooling full in the thirty thirty five years of proper parliamentary democracy in greece there has never been a government freezing so it's a crisis over legitimacy it's an open political crisis here. the government is trying to grumble about the people who refuse to be governed in this way and what they're saying is that when you have millions of people taking to the streets and protesting against these measures and the government still pushing ahead with that well at that point it really have to not go see any more so they're going to be

taking to the streets and the message is very clear that there's a pocket and there are patients who will be bringing you all the latest from the states about this later on today. so forth reporting there from greece europe's paymaster germany is expected to bear the brunt of greece's second bailout german m.p. calls peter well says the people in this country are unhappy about footing the bill and doubts whether it will have any effect anyway. and. was regulated that there must be any bailout because. otherwise you. see. those countries your country. and. each country is responsible for its budgets. to take full responsibility.

and the only right answer to that is no but we decided to say ok we have to work on the seven and. it is hard to explain to people when you get the reports from. greece or so. the average working. people. that's what we have to do for. and watch the full interview with german m.p. peter welch in just over an hour here on r.t. . the cia is reportedly building a secret air base and the persian gulf to target al qaida terrorists in yemen the plan. as man to strengthen america's military presence there with the u.s. saying it's concerned militants makes lloyd the current unrest in the country to seize power but it's got an education reports introducing cia spooks will move the operation into the legal shadows. the decision to task the cia with tracing down

given marks a major escalation of america's covert war in yemen which is not really covert it's one of the on an undeclared wars that the u.s. is waging against terror but up to this day in yemen it's been the u.s. military that was running the show that was carrying out the drone strikes so if you cooperate with the yemeni counterterrorism units but now with the power vacuum and all the political turmoil in yemen the cooperation is falling apart and according to u.s. officials because the cia operates under different legal authorities than the military the cia will have greater latitude to carry out strikes no matter what the political climate fear the greater you know the worse they don't have to ask anybody permission to bomb the country the yemeni leader who is now out of the country after months of violent popular revolt against him and his government for many years had being supported by the u.s. in exchange for letting americans go after all quieting gehman as we could make.

tables often taking credit for the u.s. drone strikes we have to remember that scores of civilians were killed in those strikes so the support of the yemeni authorities was much needed. on the other hand the government the alley abu. salim who had been in power for some thirty years was so unpopular in recent years among the people of yemen that many analysts say it was only due to the u.s. support that sally had stayed in power for so long if we year sally needed the u.s. and the u.s. needed solly but now with the political turmoil there the u.s. shows they will continue to bomb yemen whether or not they have the permission to do so from actually the people of this country pakistan is one example of popular revolt against the cia drone strikes thousands of civilians were killed by the u.s. drone drone attacks and no one was held responsible for that even though the pakistani parliament. as demanded to stop those flights the country's leadership

continues to allow the americans to carry out the operations although the pakistani leadership criticizes the killing of civilians but they little too many analysts say their support for the bombings will continue as long as they continue to receive billions of dollars from washington people there are furious in one year the u.s. u.s. drone drones killed seven hundred civilians in pakistan but they netted only five actual militant leaders numbers that some experts are giving more gruesome the former chief counterinsurgency strategist with the u.s. state department has estimated that drone attacks kill fifty nine targeted persons for each intended target nonetheless we now see the rapid expansion of the cia drone war. reporting there and you can also catch up with the stories we're covering online or t.v. dot com there's plenty for you to explore for instance money never sleeps u.s. auditors looked into the disappearance of more than six billion dollars men for

production and sales. secondly we had a nice she'll want to do with or personal core. capacity and here we look at different options so for troy given became the best option. in this deal we will produce on the term dollars in vehicles for eighteen years for full jargon and we did invest from go through operator so i mean your. the twenty five percent rise in the oil price this year has not seen a similar rally in russian oil stocks one hundred twenty dollars per barrel of brant crude may be causing pain for consumers but according to constantine suman of at the national energy security fund this is still not enough for energy companies to comfortably develop new fields. the more scaffold also for the producers is price corridor from where the other sixty dollars not more because you're full price will do well for the future well it's mixed if it's

a group or simple through the worst one of the new green fields. to share. what you for through the more expensive by seeing that in the rest of the big. begin to immerse more more money to production of course it's not the best move for the produce for. not a teller look at how the markets are performing crude is struggling for direction concerns about rising demand or supporting the price as the american petroleum institute report the decline in u.s. inventories for the last week limiting the gain so it is the news that u.s. retail sales are not as bad as expected in asia stocks and makes this hour the nikkei is in the black with strong oil prices supporting energy firms in hong kong banks and leading the losses as the people's bank of china raised reserve requirement ratios for lend its bank of china is down more than one percent and heavyweight s.b.c. is also losing nearly one percent and here in russia the markets closed tuesday

with those key indexes slightly lower the r.t.s. dropped just a notch and the my stakes not twenty one or half a percent. there won't be much change in the market this week according to the head of equity trading at v.t. b. capital who says investors are nervous and closely monitoring events in china and greece. there's not really a lot of risk that we see most of the upward movements in the russian market has been mainly driven by short covering and hedge fund buying i think that the momentum is that has exhausted so that's why we still don't see much demand for oil and gas stocks right now it does seem that there is a bit more towards commodities given the weaker outlook for china that maybe is that expressed so in that light i think the russian market is closed to be higher end of the range we expect it to be trained in the next month or so which is that a thousand markets pretty close to that level and i think it will be penetrated if

anything i think from these levels we're likely to. shift downwards a little bit more to meet you know hundred mark next couple weeks. russia is becoming more attractive to foreign companies with many expanding operations in the country eaton is one such company and it's hoping to tap into the market through its know how in power management and electrical systems the company is aiming to reach two hundred fifty million in revenues by two thousand and fifteen but the expansion is not without challenges as the c.e.o. explains one of the large challenges right now obviously is the many people understand this is an expanding in a tract of marketplace so attracting highly qualified local employees is a significant challenge we want to ramp up very quickly we want to be in twenty cities by the end of this year we're active in just for today and so i'd say are a number one challenge today is is finding those individuals who want to join a multinational company for a really exciting career and we offer that kind of opportunity for people but we
