fifteen young men killed in the violent religious strife that 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 a man his brother. an army sniper shot my brother dead the bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the other side and i saw it with no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers there it's hard to grasp what happened. rather blames the army for taking the life of his younger brother and the revolution will give in the army so much power. we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't whine and suffering but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect that at all that if 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 totalitarian democracy the people who stood on dustin's square were jubilant the regime that oppressed them for more than three decades was going with a whole pharaoh as they call the dictator would soon finally face justice for what he's done but months on the revolutionary euphoria has done as well and people are

unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not tensions of people who have. 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 they 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 egypt 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 is commenting on reports thousands been arrested in egypt by military rulers since taking over from ousted hosni mubarak. from fighting terrorism and extremism to the

economy across central asia a powerful group including regional heavyweights russia and china is meeting in kazakhstan our correspondent is an astronaut following the tanf anniversary summit of the shanghai cooperation organization all of you test them so it's a region with more than its share of issues of course with the likes of 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 countries such as pakistan iran and of ghana stand here 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 we should include of course china russia india as c.e.o. summit the original members will sit together and look at the past ten years this is their anniversary see what they have actually accomplished and redefine the goals they have for the future because these goals definitely is not going far beyond the original goals of fighting terrorism and extremism although 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 in 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 god here it is expected that they will be talking for example of the nuclear program of the country. is in town a member an observer 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 m.p.'s you know does want. to continue its relationship with. countries where the presence of a country is here as a guest it is very timely because the members do want to discuss nato afghanistan

after nato troops withdraw all day there have been expressed that's 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 this grouping also in relation to russia's 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. and we know the president retirement benefits to meet the afghan leader hamid karzai and iran's mahmoud ahmadinejad who were invited along what can we expect from these meetings. will the meetings will happen later on in the day right now the delegates have just been arriving but with regard to the meeting with. again we expect russian president dmitry medvedev will be talking about the nuclear program as well as

possibly 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 got to said key in the 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 karzai and to me she made yet of. 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 it had for you and the program here in r t including why the u.s. is building a secret cia drone. in the persian gulf the flight militants in yemen. plus they went to the waters of the arctic and plunge deep down to look at the titanic but what were the two russian many subs doing at the bottom of one of europe's largest

legs. the greek prime minister is facing tough opposition as he tries to push through more cuts to persuade europe to hand over more billions in a new bailout demonstrators gathering in the heart of athens say they will prevent m.p.'s and parliament from a vote on a stereo measures are is there for us. athens is widely expected to receive. packets from this year's same party is today in fact european finance chiefs hammering out the details of that rescue plan at the moment they're trying to prevent your area's default opinions on whether greece is going to the folds of his payments vary widely some people are saying that it's fantasy to imagine that will be allowed to happen now that people are saying the really now it's a question of when and not a single thing happening hit on the streets of greece where here this entire process later on today you're going to see huge number of protesters taking to the

streets they're going to be ending up at the name calling the building they're going to be protesting against the proposals full of these new austerity measures that they say 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 the late stages say the sixteen percent between what pulls out of the job so really the thought of new measures being put in place to that 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 that provided the initial to the chain of one hundred ten billion euro it's going to look hauls the bad move on to plan b. because the thought that grace can manage another bet up package and pay back that loan for a lot of people just simply are realistic the phrases that have been happening outside the parliament building have been compared to the arab spring uprisings what's interesting about the process we've seen happening in these very thing

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 and what the electorate a calling full in the third. thirty five years of proper parliamentary democracy. there has never been a government facing such a crisis over legitimacy it's an open political crisis here the government is trying to govern but the people refuse to be governed in this way and what they're saying is that when you have it so the 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 message is very clear that tilts the pocket and that's what we bring you all the latest from the.

surface 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 his country aren't happy about footing the bill and doubts whether it will have any effect anyway. was regulated that there must be any bailout because. otherwise. you will. ruin the. answers. those countries your country. and as long as each country is responsible for its budget. it's to take for you responsible it. and the only right answer to that is no but we decided to say ok we have to work

but it's just. it is hard to explain people when you get the reports from. greece or so. the average working time there. people are. that's what we elected you for. and watch the full interview with german m.p. klaus peter was in just fifteen minutes time here in r.t.e. . the cia is reportedly building a secret air base in the persian gulf to target al qaida terrorists in yemen the plan is man to strengthen america's military presence there was a us saying it's concerned militants make spoil the current unrest in the country to seize power but as a gun it's to count reports introducing cia spooks will move the operation into the legal shadows. the decision to task the cia with tracing down a 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 cooperation 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 greater last you know the worse they don't have to ask anybody permission to go out of 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 been supported by the u.s. in exchange for letting americans go after all. 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

rights so the support of the yemeni authorities was much needed the u.s. should carry on with the operations 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 the. sally had stayed in power for so long years sally needed the u.s. and the us 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 commission to do so from actually the people of the country pakistan is one example of popular revolt against the cia drone strike 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 has demanded to stop the strike 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 to stop it 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 non 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 at r.t. dot com there's plenty for you to explore for example money never sleeps through less auditors look into the disappearance of more than six billion dollars meant for iraq with the cash now on account of war. song diplomacy finished diplomats are

explains why. for the first time ever two russian deep sea of the legendary meters have made it to the ball some of switzerland's a lot just water to gain a better idea about its job contamination levels of lake geneva within the next two months research from switzerland germany the united states will carry out physical chemical micro biological experiments given that lake geneva is the main source of potable water in the region well the nearest submersibles will be used to call in siberia they also reached the border all ocean in two thousand and seven and baghdad has of the russian expedition presidential envoy to the north and south poles. planted a titanium capsule on the optic ocean floor to symbolically claim what could be an itchy reserves beneath the sea and again this time

a capsule of the russian joe graphical society was on the lake geneva in a seventy second year russia's number one goal amount says he was willing to take to the depths once again. as a politician. and one of the participants of today's comes from a renowned family which actually invented. hello mr pickard i don't you tell us more about your father and grandfather were there. first right to the straw. would have been that you had invented and then he invented about this cave to go to the deepest spot in the ocean he built it with my father and then my father in one thousand sixty together with don walsh who is one of the greatest friends of my family he gave me the deepest dive 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 dive you know do you know there are two days in the lake of geneva so that was really great and all that you took part in a legend rick's position in the first dive in the marianna trench tell us what does the wounds look like from the boss from from down there different inner space is another planet. and we saw another space ship powered down there trying it the other mir submersible coming out of the dark with the lights on just like a hollywood movie you know getting closer and closer and two spaceships meeting at the bottom of the sea amazing thank you so much will definitely historic events both for the russian researches and the people of geneva the dives will shed light on the deep dark secrets of one of the biggest and the most beautiful lakes in the world before the russian subs made it there no detailed exploration of lake geneva

had been done before. because it has helped their reporting from switzerland and we're now crossing to katrina who's got the latest business 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 it's thought that the russian comic that can handle that ambitious figure because it's still relatively unsaturated. if you look at the current age of the car park if you look at the current. number of cars per inhabitants there are russia is still a long long way to go to reach levels like you have in. european countries

and this of course is the great potential that makes russia trick before. and volkswagen is one of those companies it's agreed to join you produce new cars with gas group which makes a gazelle and vulgar brands total investment will be up to two hundred million euros with the german company contributing more than half that amount the firms will assemble volkswagen and skoda models the first vehicles a juice a roll off the production line this autumn the head of gas group explains why the company has chosen volkswagen 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 some folks like and became the best option. in his deal we will produce under ten thousand vehicles for eighty years before charging we did invest from gas repeats 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 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 energy companies to comfortably develop new fields the more scaffold also for the producers is price corridor from where the. dog is not more because it's will do well for a few weeks to it's a group forcible through the worst one of the new green fields. to share with what you for a few of the more expensive pricing that in the rest of the big. big improvements more. production of course it's not the best and therefore the produced for. let's take

a look at how the markets are performing now crude is struggling for direction concerns about rising demand of supporting the price as the american petroleum institute reports a decline in u.s. inventories for the last week limiting the gains is the news that u.s. retail sales are not as bad as expected. in asia stocks are mixed this hour the nikkei is in the black the stronger 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 its also losing rather nearly one percent. and here in russia the out here says start of wednesday's trading session in the black to my sixth is just about two hours from open. there won't be much change in the market this week according to the head of equity trading at v t v capital he says investors are nervous and closely monitoring events in china and in greece. there's not really

a lot of a risk that we see. most of the upward movement in the russian market has been mainly driven by short covering and hedge fund buying i think that the momentum is has exhausted real bit so that's why we still 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's the main 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 trained in the next month or so which is the two thousand mark is pretty close to that level and i don't think it will be penetrated so if anything i think from these levels we're likely to. shift downwards a little bit more to me eight hundred mark next couple 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 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 its challenges as a c.e.o. explains. the one of the large challenges right now obviously is a 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 and just for today and so i'd say are a number one challenge today as it is finding those individuals who want to join a multinational company for a really exciting career and we're confident we offer that kind of opportunity for people but we need to get people hired. and that's all the business for the south stay with us for headlines next.
