egypt's former finance minister sentenced to thirty years in prison is living openly in london despite being wanted by caro. he was convicted of abusing power for personal profit but fled the country after the general revolution. reports this isn't the first time london has provided a safe haven for rich foreign fugitives. when egypt abrupt it into violence at the store said the year the u.k. was among the first to support the uprising out with the old dictatorship and in with a new era of democracy the old guard was swept aside but many running in fear for their lives ran straight to a new die in london and the local egyptian community is horrified angry

worries grip europe we take to the streets of new york to find out of people there feel they're heading down the same road. i feel like we're on the right i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower the expectations it was pretty bad during the great depression that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll get that bad but i don't think we're there yet. class twenty first century exodus find out why thousands of israelis are applying for european and american passports in the hope of leaving the promised land. but also still to come this hour we discover what the unpredictable south pole has in store for those brave enough to try and whether it. first the number of wounded in a gas explosion in russia's north caucasus has risen to fifty five with twenty in

a serious condition the blast happened at a wedding ceremony in the capital of north. is in a lot of costs with the latest. as of the moment of the number of injured people has risen to over fifty with some of twenty being any serious condition now some of those people have even burns all across their bodies and they're all have been placed in three different local hospitals here in of like meanwhile russian emergencies ministry's plane has arrived and it brought medical specialists from moscow and these acts a chunk of point those injured and work out a list of a dozen people was the most severe ones to bring them to moscow for special treatment the blast happened during a wedding ceremony and here in russia's north caucasus weddings are big celebrations and usually are not less than three hundred guests are invited for this type of ceremonies and the food is being cooked outside in special capsules

that's why it requires gas canisters and one of these gas canisters exploded and seriously injured a significant number of people and for this very was saying over four hundred guests were invited but at the time of the blast only one hundred were present in the yard near the residential area so the scale of this accident could have been bigger. no talk to us from other world news briefing or world triple blasts have been heard of the station under attack by militants in the northwest of at least ten officers have reported. two dozen of those of believed to be trapped inside the compound was just. insurgents targeting security forces pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack saying it was in revenge for the killing of. at least eleven people have died after a militia group allegedly allied to the northern government attacked. tens of

thousands of refugees displaced by fighting so the officials say the attacks are part of a plan by the north to take over oil rich areas in the self before it gains independence next month. both sides ended more than two decades of a civil war in two thousand and five which claimed over two million lives. people have been killed in a nato airstrike on civilian sites according to libyan state television more than twenty others were reportedly hurt by the attacks in the eastern town of brega the t.v. report did not specify exactly when the assault took place in lance has rejected the allegation saying that it only hit legitimate military targets. in syria twenty people including two children were killed when security forces reportedly opened fire on demonstrators without warning a new wave of protests thousands took to the streets of several cities to call on president bashar al assad to step down after four decades of his family's role in the capital damascus protesters also came and far as they blocked roads leading to the city center a three month long crackdown has reportedly left fourteen hundred people dead.

israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all the jews of the world but tens of thousands of fled the country over the past few years a more aligning up to leave. found out that fears over security mean that many are seeking a new safer life in europe or the u.s. . rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. holder get money i want the german citizenship to help my children and grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the last decade some fifty thousand israelis have applied for us citizenship a quarter of a million already have a second passport it's unlikely that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave. the story because it is

or was a stubborn to become a shelter for the jewish you know europe becomes the shell of the jew sleeping is. this is my place the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking that you're in the us and not the promised land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad or have a parent who came from another country i have canadian israeli and i would never give up my canadian and probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to go to go there any time british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunities eight years ago the bar was blown up by a suicide bomber three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down but some say the rush for new passports heated up in vain because of the suicide bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both in immigration and in the

demand for passports and that demand has only grown in the last five years israel has been in two wars and many fear another is not far off and the government's policy of settlement expansion has only isolated the country internationally so it's no surprise as leading israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership. basing its leadership on creating all the. feel of frying the income against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. damis son has processed nearly five thousand applications for a second passport in the last ten years that works out at about forty passports a month and he's only one lawyer working in the field of fate of the draw in world war two. the one who are very moved were the ones who got the wide world for their leisure. if you're going to go out. that can help your move

out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the skates then the other way around and one in five of soviet jews has already returned home and with no israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and growing israeli insecurity about the arab demonstrations on the doorstep this so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon pointlessly r r t television. good news stories from the us economy are far and few i should say and far between with massive job cuts and layoffs and the growing national debt however some are staying optimistic saying things could be even worse as our own resident in new york has been finding out. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going limp are you personally

affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the effects of the bad economy need a better job this economy has not given you a better job yeah exactly try to go to college and i can't because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so strong that vicious cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me it's good so is that kind of the way it goes when when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad i feel like we're on the right . so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports in the us are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only perk that i'm one perk my job i've been getting steady paychecks for five years yet i can't see that the american military is going to go out of it if they do any time soon and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy and we had. we had to cut back even more would show we could take cruises

should come to new york this. crucial british first time in new york city today so that doesn't sound like you're hurting then it sounds like you're doing ok we haven't to cut back on a lot of other things do you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we headed for bread lines and even worse things that we've seen the bottom what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll get that bad but i don't think we're there yet so do you think we can fix it i'm a global level or do you think it's time countries started looking at themselves first i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not you've been personally attacked the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to.

workers here have to make do with what they can it is pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so why don't want to challenge us to try to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and three weather conditions and i think there is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of this operating down here logistically it can be more than a convenience it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that would go on t.v.'s base lost one of their team when a jeep wall down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. that was most difficult experience in my career in such moments i start to sing that good just once is to try is out here with the wind but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter after the accident happened we didn't even have time to make

a stop which the moment required a stop to think to express compassion we had to go on with our work which we finished at about four am the next day the incident sparked an outpouring of international support from the surrounding bases but in a twist all too appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane. that was to airlift of the body back to south america suffered an explosion in the left engine as it was taking off the pilots on board of hurting another fatal tragedy by a matter of seconds still the southern continent doesn't provide the opportunity to dwell on the difficulties when the key thing is all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response because ns and avoid actions that me get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine field we have avoided doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else out of here we have avoided any risks until another airplane arrives when the system derived from unfortunate necessity

all the secret of his political longevity spotlight is coming our way later here on r t but here's a brief preview for. you so six through this well well two terms in office is one of the fundamental principles of american democracy democracy it in lots of countries in the world so shouldn't it be applied to to the post of the mater or you know if you put your name up you say do you want to elect the or not that's it that's the thing i think people say well the public is not that smart we have to limit terms the public just smarter than anyone else they can say we like you or reject you wanted to deliver the presidential term well i don't know i don't know the american people elected or academic for the fifteenth and i wouldn't i wouldn't i wouldn't mind me i think any president should run but when you certain limiting people that mean just say the public doesn't have enough education or enough confidence or were thought to understand whether or not you're doing a good job and so my belief is you run for your run for election and if they accept

your they accept you then you carry that out well maybe maybe they just think that when you are in the sea you've got too much of what we call the administrative resource and you can you can you can you can pull more more money more resources to being re-elected that's the graph there's no more time because you just worry about reelected and you not worry about doing your job then you can't be reelected most people worry about that maybe they have accumulated money i get my campaign going and they forget about doing their job and so the mayor is more it's not a partisan job the mayor is about people and that's what a mayor's office is about the. spotlight coming away to later here not he will be but with a recap of our top stories in just a few minutes stay with us live here in moscow. if
