have been brought up on charges of insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not pensions of people who have you know tried to undermine the regime of people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who are in prison and military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding to describe the 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's so much overcome if you chip is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact is a very important role to play. human rights activist david kay's commenting on reports thousands been arrested in egypt by military rulers since taking over from

ousted hosni mubarak. providing terrorism and extremism to the economy across central asia a powerful group including regional heavyweights russia and china is meeting in stand our correspondents are still isn't enough following the tenth anniversary summit of the shanghai cooperation organization well if you test them so it's a region with more than its share of issues of course with pakistan and afghanistan in the neighborhood so tell us more about the challenges the leaders are facing. well that's right well the presence of going trees such as iran and afghanistan he will certainly bring a whole range of issues to the table however before these countries as well as other participants join the original six members who should include of course china russia india as you know summit the original members will sit together and look at the past ten years this is their anniversary to see what they have actually

accomplished and redefine the goals they have for the future because these goals definitely have is not going far beyond the original goals of fighting terrorism and extremism all of those still these are very important issues as well as cross border talks but they have extended as you mentioned earlier it to the economy and the economic trade deals that they have set up even the cooperation in energy sectors even education and culture and these countries will also come together to have a common approach to world affairs such as the situation in the middle east and in north africa now with regard to the presence of iran here it is expected that they will be talking for example of the nuclear program of the country. is in taiwan although a member of server state that is it does seek a full membership however there are u.n. sanctions against it and this can prove to be quite a hurdle because there are u.n. representatives here n.p.'s you'll just. wants to work continuous relationship with us as well as see it as c.i.s.

countries but with the presence of a bad establish country is here as a guest it is very timely because the members do want to discuss a post mates of afghanistan after nato troops withdraw all day there have been doubts expressed that got a sudden may not be ready and so they want to discuss what is the future plan of the country dealing with the threat that they think is going to be dangerous to the stability of this region and this group also in relation to russia is concerned russia is looking forward to the approval of the five year anti-drug strategy we know that ninety percent of the drugs in russia does come from afghanistan so the presence of the president of the country here is very welcome a lot of important issues they want to lay out on the table. but that's all we know the president. karzai and iran's mahmoud ahmadinejad who were invited along what can we expect from these meetings. well the meetings will happen later on in the day right now the delegates have just been arriving but with regard to the

meeting with mahmoud ahmadinejad again we expect russian president dmitry medvedev will be talking about the nuclear program as well as possibly comment of views on what is happening in north africa and the middle east with regard to afghanistan aside from the drug situation they do have a number of trade deals that are said keen that definitely on improving its economy seeing this as key to a stabilizing the country hopefully after need so the country so drugs and trade deals are definitely on the table for. me she needs yet of. our attention thanks very much indeed for bringing us the subway will be crossing back to you for more of course as the day progresses. and there's plenty of have for you and the program here in r t including why the u.s. is the biggest secret cia drone things in the persian gulf to fly militants. plus

protests time later on today we're going to see huge number of protesters taking to the streets they're going to be ending up at the main parliament building now they're going to be protesting against the proposals for all these new austerity measures that they say a completely unreasonable now they said the angus will be in building for a year they've come up against incredibly tough economic conditions there's a huge number of unemployed delayed status said a sixteen percent decrease what pulls out of the job so really the food of new measures being put in place to govern is a reasonable and there's been lots of people also when the troika that the i.m.f. years his central bank and the e.u. provided the initial to the chain of one hundred ten billion euro it's going to look haass the bad move on to plan b. because the whole the quest to manage another better package and pay back for a lot of people is that they are realistic the other places that have been

happening have outside the parliament buildings have been compared to the arab spring uprisings what's interesting about the process we've seen happening in these year i think countries like spain like greece that these are countries within to stop this democracy many people consider greece the first place a democracy a lot of people here are saying is a wise inning in the cat has made what the government and women think and what the electorate the calling for in the third. it's thirty five years of proper parliamentary democracy in greece there has never been a government facing a crisis over legitimacy it's an open political crisis here the government is trying to grumble but the people refuse to be governed in this way and what they're saying is that when you have it simply millions of people taking to the streets and protesting against these measures and the government is still pushing ahead with it

a case for the first speech. and there will be a right answer to that is nobody decided to say ok we have to work after the seven and then. it is hard to explain to people when you get the reports from. greece are so. the average working time the. people. that's what we elected you for. and watch the full interview with german m.p. klaus peter wallace in just fifteen minutes time here in r.t. . the cia is reportedly building a secret air base in the persian gulf to target al qaida terrorists in yemen the plan is meant to strengthen america's military presence there was the u.s. saying it's concerned militants make spoil the current unrest in the country to seize power but as a guide it should count reports introducing cia spooks will move the operation into the legal shadows. the decision to pass 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 her 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 can walk ration with the yemeni counterterrorism units right now and get that 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 here greater latitude you know other words they don't have to ask anybody's permission to go to yemen a leader who's now out of the country up with months of violent popular revolt against him and his government for many years to be so what is the u.s. in exchange for letting americans who are for all quieting yemen as we could leaks

cables often taking credit for the u.s. drone strikes we have to remember that scores of civilians were killed in those rights all the support of the yemeni authorities was much needed should carry on with the operations on the other hand the government of 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 you was only because the u.s. support that sally had stayed in power for so long years sally needed the u.s. and the u.s. needed solly but now with the political turmoil there was close they would 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 a popular revolt against the c.i. drone strikes thousands of civilians workflows party the u.s. drone drone attacks and no one was held responsible for that even though the pakistani parliament. as demanded to stop the strikes the country's leadership

continues to allow the americans to carry out the operations although the pakistani leadership criticizes the killing of civilians a little many analysts say their support for the bombings will continue as long as they continue to receive billions of dollars for launching and people there are furious in one year the u.s. u.s. drone drones killed seven hundred civilians in pakistan but the netted only five actual militant leaders numbers that some experts are giving or groups of the former chief counterinsurgency strategist for the u.s. state department has estimated that brought 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 that are c dot com there's plenty for you to explore for example money never sleeps through less auditors look into the disappearance of more than

family he gave me the deepest dives to the absolute bottom of the ocean eleven thousand meters in the married us trench so i know my father has passed away and do we did the diver yeah there are a few days later so that was really great and all the cheated part in the legend rates edition and the first dive in the marianna trench tell us what does the wolves look like from the balls from from down there different innerspace it's another planet. and we saw another spaceship or were down there trying to the other near submersible coming out of the dark with the lights on just like a hollywood movie you know getting closer and closer into spaceships meeting at the bottom of the sea amazing pink you so much oh definitely his story could bounce board for the russian researches and the people of geneva still shut lights on the deep dark secrets of one of the biggest and the most beautiful lakes in the world

before the russian subs made it their no details exploration of late geneva had been done before. president or tell of their reporting from switzerland and we're now crossing to katrina who's got the latest business news for us. thanks marina and welcome to the business bulletin here on r.t. russia is full speed ahead in its bid to become europe's largest kamarck it and foreign carmakers are getting in on the act six leading producers have agreed to strongly boost russian output in exchange for tax benefits age of them has to produce three hundred thousand vehicles a year its top of the russian kamarck it can handle that ambitious figure because it's still relatively unsaturated. if you look at the the current age of the car park if you look at the current. number of cars per inhabitants

they are russia is still a long way to go to reach levels like you have in other european countries now and this of course is the great potential that makes the russia work before. and volkswagen is one of those companies it's agreed to join you produce new cars with gas group which makes example and vulgar brands total investment will be up to two hundred million euros with the german company contributing more than half that amount the phones will assemble volkswagen and skoda models the first vehicles a jew to roll off the production line this autumn the head of gas group explains why the company has chosen box wagon as a partner. we have been very successful with our l.c.d. production and sales. secondly we had a nice you want to do with or personal car. capacity and here we look at different options for truck and became the best option. in visit deal we

will produce another ten thousand vehicles for eight years for full charge and we didn't just from gas rugby 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 hundred twenty dollars per barrel of grain crude may be causing pain for consumers but according to constant consumer not at the national energy security fund this is still not enough for energy companies to comfortably develop new fields the more scaffold. produces prize corridor from where the one hundred sixty dollars not more because you full price will be welcomed if you rather it's next to it's a group also built through the rest of my little new greenfields. around you to share. what you for through the mortgage space and pricing the in the rest of the big. big improvements more. production from you of course it's not

the best move for the produce. let's take a look at how the markets are performing now crude is struggling for direction and concerns about rising demand of supporting the price as the american petroleum institute reports a decline in u.s. inventories for the last week for limiting the gains is the news that u.s. retail sales are not as bad as expected. in asia stocks the next this hour the nikkei is in the black the strong all prices supporting energy firms in hong kong banks are leading the losses as the people's bank of china raised reserve requirement ratios for lenders bank of china is down more than one percent and heavyweight h.s.b.c. is losing also it's also losing rather nearly one percent. and here in russia the us here says start of wednesday's trading session in the black in my six is just about to open up and. there won't be much change in the market this week according to the head of equity trading in v.t.

be capped so he says investors are nervous and closely monitoring events in china and in greece. there's not really a lot of risk out there that we see most of the upward movements in the russian market has been mainly driven by short covering and hedge fund buying and i think that momentum is that has exhausted real bit so that's where we don't see much demand for oil and gas stocks right now it does seem that the there is a bit more towards commodities given the weaker outlook for china that maybe the problem is i've expressed so in that light i think the russian market is closed to be higher end of the range we expected to be training that's a month or so which is that a thousand mark is pretty close to that level and i think it will be penetrated if anything from these levels were like the. shift downwards a little bit more to the you know i would mark over the next couple of weeks. russia is becoming more attractive to foreign companies with many expanding operations in the country as one of those companies it's hoping to tap into the

market through its know how and pound 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 its challenges as a c.e.o. explains. one of the large challenges right now obviously is that many people understand this as an experience being in a contract of marketplace sort of tracking 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 and just for today and so it's a very number one challenge is finding those individuals who want to join a multinational company for a really exciting career and work out that we offer that kind of opportunity for people who are going to get people hired. and that's all the business for the south stay with us for headlines next.
