what you want your life from moscow the jailing of at least seven thousand people by egypt's military rulers will be reviewed by the nation's interim leaders amid allegations of torture and abuse the behavior of the army since taking over from the ousted hosni mubarak is causing anger amongst those who took part in the revolution many are skeptical whether the channels are able or even willing to bring about the democratic changes so many died for our financial reports. never sleeps. the eighteen day uprising that ousted president mubarak has woken up the hell nation this 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 barak free country the resume for fear and frustration. read his brother was

among fifteen young men killed in the violent religious strife that hit 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. and amish neither showed my brother dead the bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the other side and i saw it no one here has a weapon like this on a soldier's do it's hard to grasp what happened. rather blames the army for taking the life of his younger brother and the revolution for giving the army so much power. and as. we expected the army to intervene to protect people to stop my lens but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect that at

all that 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 under 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 and 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 deaf ears where we jubilant the regime that oppress them for more than three decades was going with whole pharaoh as they call the dictator would soon finally face justice for what he's done but months on the

detentions of civilians not tensions of people who have 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 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's almost 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. human rights activists david keyes comedy reports thousands been arrested in egypt by military rulers since taking over from ousted hosni mubarak. group of influential central asian states including regional heavyweights russia and china are meeting in calif stand to discuss the fight

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 an observer state that is it does seek full membership however there are un sanctions against it and this can prove to be quite a hurdle because there are u.n. representatives here and the u.s. does want to continue its relationship with the un as well as a c.n.n. c.i.s. countries now with the presence of afghanistan the country is here as a guest it is very timely because the members do want to discuss a post nato afghanistan after nato troops withdraw there have been doubts expressed that afghanistan may not be ready and so they want to discuss what is the future of the country in 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 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 persons. the president of the country here is very welcome a lot of important issues they want to lay out on the table as are so you reporting there and you had for you in the program including why the u.s. is building a secret cia drone base in the persian gulf to fight militants in yemen. was that you went to the waters of the arctic and runs deep down to the titanic where the two russian many stops doing at the bottom of one of europe's largest lakes. 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 one to prevent

you can 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 latitude you know other words they don't have to ask anybody's 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 yemen as we could make cable shows 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 for the u.s. should carry on with the operations on the other hand the government the alley abu
