to such a state head and in fact that's why when it happened a lot of people try to clear the area that a lot of people say that they say there is a major question that is happening a lot of people caught up in that actually is that being quite is that is just what happened we were slightly for the bad and it happened very very quickly though speaking to one protester hey he said you know the people who are involved in provoking the police what would you know about that. i know for sure that the. protesters they were black shoots and they provoke the police with. throwing stuff on them and then make them fight back to the real protestors and that's how the system breaks. the fence lines and this endeavor by the home and we don't want to say never everybody home because we want to stay here and fight. territories. and everything we have works.

and that's how the they break our defense was very interesting to speaking earlier today telling the organizers from the what is the new city many of you will deny the protests today they said the same thing that the chilean the teen until they see the faces that they want these places to be peaceful and safe from only thing they have been relatively safe this violence breaking out by any get a sixteen point zero they get involved in society and hold this trouble i think it's good in the face of something both that he says that david is one of the boys that they feel like the most to see phoenix look literally millions of them a tragedy out of this case not they've had a year of dealing with incredibly top of stairs and that is the job market at pulling a sixteen percent unemployment in the great white forces or the latest figures and really they've had enough they said that this is the fault of the bank is and the politicians innit. not going to make them look in the light here. today protesting

a time when they thought all of the eurozone sovereign risk was exactly the same so one would hope greece only to the extent that it will prevent a chaotic default if it's point in time it will help keep our banks afloat and keep our pension system afloat for the time being. and while greeks make their anger known about facing further cuts germans are no less furious about having to pay for it again next hour german m.p. klaus peter says that that's why countries should take responsibility for themselves. in the treaties. it was regulated that there must be any because. either way. you will. ruin the public finances of those countries who are contributing to it. as long as each country is responsible

for its part. has to take full responsibility and the only right answer to that is there will be about. you without you live from moscow and coming up soon in egypt freedom to oppress the country's military rulers are towered over the revolution that toppled president mubarak all amid allegations of on the abuses sparking anger among citizens. our u.s. missile defense plans for europe have suffered a major setback is now refusing to take part in the system check officials say they're not happy with washington's offer let's get more details on this now cross live to our team's course one. european missile defense shield supposed to be a key aspect of the u.s. foreign policy why exactly are the czechs now scuttling washington's plans. well we

understand according to the czech defense minister that prague once i figure all in this project the project of the european missile defense shield we understand that the initial plan meant so that only a preventive missile detection system would have been placed in the czech republic while major other major components. the system like the raider station or the missile anti-missile complexes in poland were meant to be placed in other countries like turkey romania and poland so the defense minister of the czech republic claims that now prague will be seeking a much more important role in this project asking washington to have a radio station either or a missile called place to be placed in this central european state it is very interesting that this turnaround happens now especially given the the upsets and the disappointments which have been voiced by moscow over the past few years in relation to this new defense plan by the obama administration worked out several

years ago we are waiting for some comments to come from washington certainly but experts are now trying to guess whether this turnaround the fact that the czech republic wants to withdraw from this is somehow related to continuous voice of discontent on that issue as we know it is almost all defense shield is supposed to protect from rogue states such as iran who just weeks ago that i know some of the russian president said you know come on guys the missile system is blatantly targeting russia and as a result moscow has been trying to cooperate with the u.s. and nato want to joint system is that point developing is that having anywhere. well that has been talked about for the past several years certainly we know that there was an initial plan by the bush administration which was scrapped by the obama administration when he came to office in two thousand and nine. with many claiming that this plan was directed against russia the obama plan the plan seemed to be much better seem to be much more convenient for all sides in that but in the

past several years we've seen lots of contradictions between the words and the actions and most school is still pretty much unhappy about the way this project is being carried out saying that on many occasions washington does something without the consent so the initial plan of the united joint defense system in europe is not working out so far with the statements by. the one you mentioned statements by the president of egypt saying that in fact there are no legal guarantees that this system would not be used against russia because the route states which this missile defense system should be protecting europe from do not have the missiles which the system is intended for those missiles only are in possession of russia so clearly old this makes great serious concerns in mosco and the war of words continues we'll have to wait and see whether this particular turnaround by the czech republic is somehow related to the to the this could just go on towns and mosco but clearly we are waiting for more developments on this story and in particular comments from the

pentagon and in particular all right on through the next year to show you that live from kiev thank you. now iran says it has no plans to possess nuclear weapons it's happening during talks with russia at a key summit of asian countries they've just wrapped up their meeting with leaders which focused on tackling the economic and or security issues which i think. it's not something for us and bring us up. that's a quite a statement from president going to drive that's. one of the details what do you know i want to this. along the meeting between russian president dmitry medvedev and iran it was a closed door meeting however afterwards prime minister for foreign minister that is us and gave lavrov did come out and said that and confirmed that mahmoud ahmadinejad's did confirm to president medvedev that iran is going is that is in total renouncement of clients to possess nuclear weapons and there you have it he

their word said that according to mr lavrov had come from deny god now this is important because the nuclear power nonproliferation has been a major topic here at the summit as well as the controversial nuclear program of iran and also discussed at that meeting is the. plan of iran to work with the members of the. members here in order to get rid of the u.n. sanctions because the u.n. sanctions really is a problem proving to be a hurdle. for membership into the c.e.o. but aside from a broad president get it also met with. a start and here they are discussed of course the drug situation in the country which is threatening to security of russia as well as a potential business deals which mean it's a card for these big deals apparently because russia is a willing to contribute a lot to the rebuilding of the country. certainly a powerful statement coming from the iranian president. has no interest in

a nuclear weapons so it will no doubt be seen as a success at the summit with security one of the region's fundamental. issues. today. that's right where he actually they do it's not sure how whole range of important issues that are happening in the world today as expected they have been a very vocal about the situation in north africa and the middle east and they have come up with an official statement which does reflect what they have been saying all along that the international. involvement in those parts of the world really have to adhere to international law particularly if they're calling for the troops there coley for nato in particular to adhere to the u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three and nine hundred seventy that had allowed for the no fly zone over libya they do not agree with further military involvement in such situations also foreign minister lavrov had issued

a separate statement on syria saying that russia has not as will not change its position on the matter and that russia would be against any u.n. resolution on the syria security in the region that was at the top of the agenda and they want to continue counterterrorism b.b.b. have been holding a lot of military officer. and from what they had to say today it is expected that they will continue these but also they want to bring the flights to cyberspace they also want to come up with the security. the presence of a pianist and here has been very important it has brought a lot of issues to the table i've got a status here as a guest and they want to be an observer to the c.e.o. but one of the key issues is the post major future of the country that he's also you know members do believe that the stability of afghanistan is essential to stability in the entire region and president hamid karzai has specifically said despite doubts of the past of the country's us and its ability to handle the

situation in the country after nato reeves cars i had said that they are willing to take the responsibility and they are ready to handle the situation also they have called for nato with foreign troops in the country to what here to afghan law and he said that they are currently in a big oshie asian us as exactly how to whistle meant this and also of course talking back agenda with regard to afghanistan is the situation this is very important for russia and they have all acknowledged that they have to come up with a common strategy in dealing with this president of reiterating again and again how important this is for russia let's hear what he had to say about or. afghanistan. and it. can be seen as far as i understand. it's a country which. is

not only. countries. we are. now on the economic front one of the biggest areas they've been discussing president medvedev had to really have to hurry up in making a final decision on that special account that special funding that they want to set up which will be the source of. the financing of a lot of the big projects that they have planned which includes a massive a real way projects pipelines as well as land communications so this president instead of said is essential they have to get this go away and also they have made a statement on the fact that a unilateral missile defense system is going to be a threat to international security by unilateral they need a decision made by one party or by one group and also they had insisted that the members of the c.e.o. and here to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty again the interesting because iran had been present and iran with its controversial nuclear program will certainly now

have to adhere to that because it really is becoming a member of the s.p.o. as alaska's not the least if you have explicitly expressed their intent to become full members and it is hoped that by joining the c.e.o. this will ease the a rather tense relationship between the two countries so he seems like the major players in the summer. on a lot of issues that. i thank you. for that we are keeping a close eye on the asian summit with regular. among the analysis that now makes moves to become an accurate member of the shanghai group his friendship with the u.s. to grow his coalition also online a supernova spectacle in the heart of moscow the capitals planetarium finally relaunches off the user profile which meant take a look around and. see. if

. you know we've got the tea let's go to some other news from around the world for you this hour and pakistani intelligence says at least ten alleged insurgents were killed in a u.s. drone attack in northwest pakistan a series of strikes targeting of a suspected militant compound near the main town of pakistan's south waziristan tribal area the region is known for housing many taliban insurgents who frequently carry out attacks against government forces. syria is calling on refugees who fled to turkey to return to the town they abandoned after the army moved in to crush army groups and you government says it regained control and will continue to see what it calls the remnants of terrorist groups eight thousand people left the town and are now in a refugee camps on the turkish border syria's endured months of brutal crackdowns on protests to try and force the quick president to quit. a suicide car bomber

has struck in northeast afghanistan near a governor's building killing seven including police officers and salad as admitted the attack which targeted the french ambassador and a military convoy a separate attack occurred at almost the same time south of the capital when a rocket was fired on a police training center the vice president and interior minister with there but there were no reported injuries. well the west is wearing in yemen's ongoing unrest with deadly force officials in the troubled country say u.s. drone strikes have killed over one hundred people including civilians in the past two weeks now the u.k. is preparing attack helicopters and commandos squads for possible action in yemen parties lore and it has more on this from london. they are becoming more and more involved whilst saying all the time we don't want to get any more involved in the conflict in yemen any more involved in libya than we can help it any more involved

in the middle east as a region as a whole apaches attack helicopters we've seen them in in general. in iraq as in afghanistan and of course most recently in libya where involvement was seen as a marked escalation in the involvement of u.k. and french nato troops there very low flying so the likelihood of casualties is much increased. presence there and it does look like an escalation of involvement again as we said so many times about libya the legality of this is extremely clear we are seeing u.s. drone attacks increasing numbers of u.s. drone attacks in in yemen and the reasoning for that is. according to u.s. forces is taking advantage of what's going on that and moving into this power vacuum which is being created since president saleh left and went to saudi arabia for medical treatment moving into that activity taking advantage of general civil unrest to grab more support more and more territory so that's the reason for the

u.s. paying these drone attacks that's how it's justifying it but of course that power vacuum works both ways interestingly the u.s. forces the military forces used to cooperate with the president on to a type of intelligence that kind of these kinds of territorial issues but now the u.s. can easily say that there's no authority is with with whom to cooperate the government is essentially not in operation anymore so if they if they wanted to one would have thought that they could just go ahead where they like and of course we've now seeing president of. the use of cia trains cia agents who have a much wider much. lection of targets that they can take and we've also heard reports from a deputy provincial governor in yemen saying that one hundred thirty people have been killed in drone attacks just in the last month and that many of them were. what appear to be innocent civilians and then of course the last thing is this secret cia base for trains that we hit is being built in the persian gulf region

we're getting reports of that all the time and that is being case the yemeni government falls to al qaeda and al qaeda no longer permit these drone attacks in the country they need a base with which from from which to fly they really a very much more involved in terms of both the u.s. and the u.k. . egypt's dr porter moxy has seen thousands of arrests media censorship and a state of emergency all of this since replacing president mubarak it's not what adoptions were hoping for after the february revolution left hundreds dead many wonder whether the price was worth paying for national reports from cairo. egypt never sleeps. eighteen day uprising that ousted president mubarak has woken up the hell nation these has become a common scene here and this. 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. even in a free country. for fear and frustration. read his brother was among fifteen young men killed in the violent religious strife that he 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 even though he was a christian coptic it wasn't a muslim killed his brother. and my brother dead went through his head and it came out on the side and i saw it with no one here has a weapon like this on this old. it's hard to grasp what happened. rather blames the army for taking the life of his younger brother and the revolution from giving the

army so much power there and. expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't whine and spray but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't exist at all like that people of egypt didn't extract many things they didn't extract the economy to collapse they didn't imagine the path to 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 something is another one in military one the power in egypt now. rests firmly in the hands of the military chiefs of staff. they were sitting in literally in the pentagon war room when the twitter revolution started they are running the show all there has been an old displacement of 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 do balance the regime to the

press them for more than three decades was going on with our us how their oh as they call the dictator would soon finally face justice for what he's done but my son the revolutionary euphoria has got as well and people are asking themselves what 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 towards chaos or democracy the worst scenario would be if the army continues to rule and the country sinks into blood from a civil war and subsidy people to decide. my life since the field should be held arab world it's clear the revolution may now be part of history but the fight is far from over here if an ocean r.t. carries a. little bit later here on r.t. we explore the network of u.s. military bases which span the whole world after the prisoners are tied with katrina
