alleged brutal methods of egypt's military rulers force people to question if the revolution actually brought a change for the better. and in business this hour russians russia's small banks look like the beginning and in the form of a fund set up to help them compete with the big guns and banking i'll bring the full story and our business bulletin and around twenty minutes time. you with r.t. live from moscow now greek police have fired at protesters attempting to block off access to the parliament in athens over twenty thousand demonstrators were trying to prevent m.p.'s from. you know new austerity measures needed to secure more bailout cash from the e.u. . it is on the phone from the greek capital and now can i join us and. let's you

with his the police a farming tear gas on protesters it's it's getting ugly out there what do you know . bob city has always seen as genocide including when the protests that were tiny i even hear. that and since i'm a little bit chilling this was kind of the trying to minutes ago i spent so much was discovered trying to stop to think what it was. he thinks he got from the crowd which film is trying to streamline it and he'd like to fix so he's. actually tried to get funny because i feel the editors might even if incredibly tell you kerry everyone can know. the way to. hide your people. people in the decline it's a lot of people liking the crotch.

shots i can not get it was as good of a crush on a lot of people is that he does not want to speak that for a while so you can bet we're just waiting to see waiting to call call the spot a little better because you know what we need. to preschool so far the next election like i'm ready to cry. so we're here till the day of victory the criticism is free that's what you're saying is he wanted to say he was just people we've been speaking to. once again they feel like they can't have taken his what was essentially a problem by kids in the politician school so that we can hear a little bit more about this. the may follow a racist yes also to the certain message nothing like i think we could let some

stay but even more people seem to forget i say sensible denies rights as a muslim the state that signed it is a complete. that makes all of the bills a little speculation as to whether these protests against sunlight will be seen in the past if it is a marginally safe sometimes the more seen but i don't see violence erupting the police the police on the face and just a. little. history the point they said this is really been building for years i read that and they still said he's simply phoenix knows he meant the search he says it's a loss of confidence in the government not only from a little site from within the fallen and was in the shopping list itself one of the prime ministers but that's is resigning isn't so whether he'll get all the face he means the first place policy right but free fall of it in the post that will be

necessary so if that's access even more money a year if i don't see at the moment coming out the details of that finance plan that's signed for the first year right area so fran the false if that happens it's that that could have extremely wide implications for the year i say. we spoke in some of the acts that scared a lot of people are saying that it's really time that the choice about your kids to buy the i and that's and either provided that initial money to see the hundred and seven billion here i start looking beyond the bailout bill it's a plan b. because a lot of people are saying is that they are really expect equasym pay back that money not post any one is the other concept that is the big bad thing to imagine that greece will be allowed to keep. they. think that they.

did. they were anything think that what. they say simply. that. when you. went back on the street the price. first thing i had. when really you don't have to be anymore and that's really why i love. you keep me updated throughout the day the protests about. the reporting from the greek capital group in central asian states including a regional heavyweights russia and china are meeting in stone to discuss the fight against terrorism in an area with more than its fair share of the issues with pakistan and afghanistan in the neighborhood as well the shanghai cooperation organization it faces a number of challenges. good to see you. once

again stress that security remains the group's key issue of how the leaders planning to tackle threats in the region what you know on that. well that's right and it's not just the president to me in fact all the leaders that were here that had given statements did to stress the importance of tackling security regional and international together they did release a statement which echoes what they've all been saying in the past on the situation in north africa and the middle east pacifically in libya they had again called for the international community and those involved in the conflict there to a strictly adhere to the u.n. resolution nine hundred seventy three and one nine hundred seventy two for furthering the conflict that's going on there and with regard to syria foreign minister sergey lavrov issued a separate statement on. saying that russia's position has not. they are against a resolution on syria and for any military involvement in that area now with regard

to regional security some of the countries china for instance has expressed that it is worried there are still growing separatism and extremism in their country and other countries have expressed that as well and therefore they would like to carry on the counterterrorism efforts and even expand it not just to tackle the traditional threats that they've seen over the years but also to bring it to the internet to cyberspace they were calling on the border security idea they are now of course as you said earlier the presence of again to stand here certainly has brought it to the front line of the security in afghanistan is key to the regional security afghanistan post nato future has been repeated over and over here some of the nations have expressed doubts in the past as to whether i've got a son is really ready to handle the situation on its own however today president hamid karzai. is willing to take that responsibility and that they are ready when nato troops are withdrawn expectedly and the twenty fourth and so again here and

important issue that they all put their all stressing here bring it up again and one other issue is that drugs. is a big issue for russia on the table for some time now because ninety percent of the drugs in russia does come from afghanistan and again hamid karzai has understands that he needs to work together with his partners and dmitri medvedev has stressed again how important this is for us to listen to what he has to say. afghanistan. hugely important. president reiterated the importance of participation here is the dialogue

especially in relation to the drug problem which really is threatening the country as a security also calling for a military resolution to the problems that afghanistan is facing cars i said it's really. a long term help even after nato is gone including. the usa and another of course a big issue here is the economy president. decisions should be made faster on that special law from which the countries will draw their funding for big projects which include railway communications even building universities so this is a fundamental project that they really have to get along with another statement has made is that a unilateral missile defense system unilateral. or by one group is certainly going to be a threat to international security and also they are calling on their members to adhere to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty interestingly enough iran to be here

makes for interesting discussion as you know ron has a controversial nuclear program so this requirement of adhering to the nonproliferation treaty would be part of that requirement to join as a member of the. membership so it's interesting to see that on this matter for both sides. and other countries that are seeking to join. the russian president dmitri. certainly president. of iran will be meeting on the sidelines expected. to top that agenda is the controversial nuclear program as well as a bilateral agreements on how to tackle the threats that they face both terrorism

and separatist issues so we're looking forward to a conversation if any agreements concrete agreement would come out of that also president again it will be meeting with afghanistan separately and we expect that the broad topics that they brought up in that plenary session will again be brought up drugs topping the agenda as well as the big investments that russia is planning to bring into the country because russia is is keen on helping afghanistan and through the problems that they will be facing once they continue the efforts of the building the country. being discussed at the shanghai cooperation organization. thank you very much. while you are watching still ahead for you in the program why is the u.s. is building a secret. drone base in the persian gulf to fight militants in yemen. for the jailing of at least seven thousand people by egypt's military rulers will

be reviewed by the nation's interim leaders made allegations of torture and abuse the behavior of the army since taking over from alstead 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. reports. never sleeps. the eighteen day out prizing that ousted president mubarak has moved 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 trying to test the fools to time and to stand down. even in a barak free country the reason for fear. and frustration. right his brother was among fifteen young man killed in the violent religious strife that he had 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 then he was a christian coptic it wasn't a muslim that killed read his brother. and amish neither showed my brother dead a 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 on this old is there it's hard to grasp what happened. rather blames the army for taking the life of his younger brother and the revolution will given the army so much power. and as. we expected the army to intervene to protect people to stop my lands free 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 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 were jubilant the regime that oppressed them for more than three decades was going on with how pharaoh as they call the dictator would soon finally face justice for what he's done but months on the revolutionary euphoria has gone as well and people are asking themselves was that really was the hundreds of victims and did they really get

a better country in. egypt is at the crossroads it could go towards chaos or democracy the worst scenario would be of 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 whole arab world it's clear the revolution may now be part of history but the fight is far from over narration ocean r t. let's get some more of the situation and age. with. the former israeli ambassador and joining us now live from tel aviv so more than seven thousand people have been arrested in egypt since in the months since the revolution began what kind of signal do you think is the country's interim military rule sending to its people. trying to shore were to ask. why everybody knows the.

k. or so you need you to right know. the decision making there are to rule the country but you're saying it's chaos in egypt right now has the as the popular uprising resulted in the kind of change that people in egypt were fighting and dying for do you think. the new law here by mistake of many call it the revolution in egypt but the frustration in the egyptian street to my understanding comes from the fact that there is no revulsion and there are no reforms. in expected by people who started the demonstrations so. it kind of. no you know move. in egypt to. against the.

people in the streets. and that's why there is more uncertainties and instability in egypt as well as in the whole area here or it's the instability is running chaos in the region as you say but let's talk about the end game here the possible optimistic future egypt holding elections in september do you think that could end up in it with a traditional style democracy as envisaged by washington or could we see some quite different form of government. well i'm sorry to a certain say that to my opinion washington is naive. developments in egypt and in the middle east they call it the middle east springtime but i see more called the than ever before elections. in egypt in september for the for the problem and. are not going to bring

any democracy to egypt on the contrary i am afraid that the outcome of the elections will bring a problem and a majority of the muslim brotherhood and egypt will go back to more islamization then democratic zation is washington and israel expect. all right former israeli ambassador to egypt live in tel aviv thank you. for you with live from moscow now yemen's government says that dozens of people have been killed in u.s. drone attacks in the country over the last few weeks many of them being civilians washington recently resumed its unofficial military campaign against al qaeda terrorists fearing they may exploit the current unrest in yemen to seize power the cia is also reportedly building
