the final blastoff the last of the launch of atlantis marks the end of the u.s. space shuttle program and the end of an era. hello there a good evening from moscow and you're watching the r.t. international news channel it's now eleven pm here in moscow and to our top story thousands of egyptians have been protesting in cairo's tahrir square demanding a fast pace of reform just five months after ousting hosni mubarak as president there's a million man march the rally is the biggest demonstrations since the uprising protesters want to keep up the pressure for change on the country's interim military rulers m c former regime officials brought to trial we're going to be talking to our correspondent in this in a. in times square little bit later in the press. info we're talking to and games

and stuff information that's good to see here mr know if it's a communication problem sir with you tonight with all this going on they're very glad to see you i hope you can hear me i mean thousands of people have been gathering there on the streets to voice their anger all day and i can hear now probably see in a minute behind you all night what is the security situation there right now. you know when i was coming here to talk to you are just thinking how well organized today really was basically civilians are doing the security checks there to wreck the traffic taking care of everything themselves we've been hearing rumors that they caught a couple of they call them frogs from here sort of provoke violence make it look like they're coming to really stage on rasff here in the egyptian capital and they're catching these so-called frogs and tying them up in fact i haven't seen that with my own eyes and a lot of people are talking about that i just want to step out of the shot and give you a vision. a look at what's happening more and more people are coming to top here as

night falls here in cairo and as i was saying i was impressed with the organizing of the protesters really it seems like what they want is to have a peaceful protest but as we were coming out speaks you hear we're doing our our my socks from the only really international t.v. station that is that is that is that the term that the egyptian authorities have allowed to work here is a turkish company i only got here none of the staff was in the hotel it was very quiet and we were told that it was very dangerous in fact i had to be here because apparently some of these thugs they're wearing sort of bounds around there has i had told them that they could really do why and you live shots from here so i'm we're hearing that it was actually the government to send these types to do that in fact we were supposed to speak to get what i guess this hour and he said that he was just too afraid to come and speak to us on r.t. because of the situation that we saw as we came to the hotel here it seems like everything is ok they left the bill. some of the snap is beginning to come back up

and that's a sign that these protesters are really ready for anything in the sense that they say they wanted to remain peaceful and the government has promised to stand away i haven't seen one police officer here today but that they're sending people in plain clothes it's really instigate violence a lot of people on edge that something could happen overnight here on talk radio and this is one of the protesters saying about how long they'll stay there. oh if some of the protesters including the workers union is basically has lost the student today so it's like with what we saw back in the winter they're going to basically live on talk here until they get what they want and what they want is to get rid of all these so many mubarak's they feel like they had the president i'll sit in a lot of high ranking officials but they want corrupt officials to be removed from the universities from the factory all workplaces across the country they want military trials on civilians to stop they want free press and have full coverage of what's happening here in central cairo so some people will be staying here until

the very end then you have the muslim brotherhood didn't take place didn't didn't come and join the revolution back in the winter but this time are taking it critics say that they're really trying to just inflate their positions but if there are actions that they can gain some support it's a group that in fact is abandoned in many countries including russia it seems it seems either there's caution about any kind of links to perhaps terrorism but they are one of the groups that is protesting here are tougher but they're not spending the night they'll be coming back tomorrow but like i said a lot of these protesters are here until they feel that the egypt they've been fighting for has finally happened. there bring you some today the latest from turning square in cairo as those demonstrations continue in just a thank you and of course if you want to catch it was moved from egypt if you want to be abreast of the latest as you can following this now as latest twitter updates school the details of the breaking developments sometimes squarish good eyewitness account. as for your fresh updates on the protests log on to twitter you can find

is that r.t. under school com. first mark owen from oxford university told me that the revolution is only added to egypt's economic woes meantime has brought about the reforms and it's not all about the reforms the people want it. the expectations that the fall of mubarak would be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about. and his family and closest bruni's have been imprisoned or accused will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people against the interests of the country but of course field marshal tantawi on the other branches of the military ruling council with his appointees to great extent across egypt people don't see that their local boss the local head of the industry should be changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power the revolution comes about because people are very discontented have reasons for

fairly economic discontent but if the process of the revolution causes so much disruption that we see tourists stay away from egypt that kills a lot of business we see people worried about investing there because they wonder who's going to be in power in a few months time so ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent social discounters irritation of unemployment and school actually the process of getting rid of the virus has made in the short term the economy worse but i do think really there's an easy answer to egypt's economic problems because global oil prices global food prices and so on are rising and egypt is essentially importer. this is our sea coming up a resting developments new espionage charges abroad would you as opposition members explain why tbilisi just can't get enough of its. next though hundreds of proper list of you know activists have been blocked by is where the mere attempts to reach garza by air dozens were detained for questioning in tel aviv on arrival

by the majority of prevented reaching israel at european airports across the policy or for our teachers been a big airport for us joins us now live hi there paula i mean how these events unfolded what we know about those activists that actually made it into israel. well for the last few weeks they've been some six to eight hundred international activists who've been planning this so-called fly turner united under the banner of welcome to palestine and representing some fifteen n.g.o.s these mostly french activists made the point from the beginning that they were intention was to bring attention to the plight of the palestinian people particularly the people of gaza they said that their intention was peaceful the plan was to arrive today friday and to spend a week particularly in the west bank visiting palestinian families and really giving them a message of hope and encouragement from the international community but of course the attention also needs to be on gaza where since two thousand and seven since the must came to power israel has imposed

a blockade and the latest word we hear from humanitarian organizations operating in gaza is that the situation is almost catastrophic we're hearing figures of as much as eighty percent of the population who do not have access to basic necessities the problem is that these radio forty's heard about this fly tele and already on thursday issued the names of three hundred and forty two people that were not a nod to into this country and they gave those names to foreign airlines and warned them that if they bought those people they would have the expense and responsibility of sending them back to their home countries we know that two hundred people were stopped in european capitals but of the roughly hundred who made it through to israel most of them are being questioned are being interrogated and as far as we can tell only one woman from england made it through the arrivals board we caught up with her just before she made her way to be from him in the west bank. netanyahu sees us as a threat he says us as a threat to the legitimize a show of israel how can we be

a threat and yet he wipes out the israelis he gets guaranteed pouring all over the airport he gets the british police the french police to stop activists coming out we never planned to demonstrate we always planned to be here and be here for this day and enjoy the cultural activities of the palestinians on the west bank and true with the israelis as well. these really furry he's had been criticized for the near hysterical response to this whole operation in fact is really media has been heavily criticizing the government saying that it's almost as if they're preparing for a military operation and not for a protest i mean looking at this on the face of a poor a begs the very simple question why is a group of peaceful activists called such a stir. and added to that question is the irony that israel ferrety is by sending some sixty seven hundred police and security officers to its walls being

able to deal with these demonstrators israel is also only helping these activists bring attention to the plight which is essentially to do all the world's attention to the fate of one and a half million gazans who are trapped in one of the most densely populated areas in the world now israel is dealing a heavy hand largely because of what happened roughly this time last year which is when we first returned it trying to sell to guards it has humanitarian aid on board and we all know it ended with nine turkish activists did we have seen a second freedom fatality aimed at this stage the eighty ships there are parts of it are stranded off the coast of greece athens has imposed a blanket ban preventing them from saving to gaza so that a lot of attention in the international community trying to help the people of gaza and israel being very heavy handed very worried and very militant in its response artie's paula joining us live from jerusalem tonight thanks to bring us up to date on a story and of course just reminding you if you've got something that you want to let

us know what is your thought about this story and the fly you can log on to our web site our. latest poll if you live there we're asking whether pro palestinian activists will be able to convince israel to lift the blockade on gaza what's your take here but this is what you've been telling us so so far if you take so far says we're close to half of you say it would only happen if you had to survive in overwhelming numbers of a quarter of you don't think israel would yield to any pressure anyway they. say the activists can succeed as long as they've got truth on their side which is a minority view there still twelve percent believing a blockade really lifted if palestinian stop attacking israel we notice now we think about this story almighty knives online while you're there as well these stories may grab your attention to google it shut down millions of internet sites out of this. citing their malicious and they don't meet suitable standards find out what the repercussions could be for the rest of the web on that developing story also rumors about barack obama's childhood continuing to swirl as an american

clamp down on. anyone i guess is just the level of democracy and there has been. even so it seems international disbelief and numerous arrests and convictions are not enough to put the paranoia of course in officials to arrest tourism terry a minister claims that there are more alleged spies there i think he knows exactly who they are where they are and what they're doing now while official b.b.c. hails these efforts many seem to be of the opinion that it's just plain wishful thinking. catherine as our rights. it's a. big story in the u.k. no or a former editor of the news of the world newspaper has been arrested in connection with the phone hacking scandal the country's biggest selling newspaper its former

all correspondents also been arrested on suspicion of bribing police if you're is prompted the prime minister to announce two inquiries of the ethics and practices of the british press one hundred sixty year old one hundred sixty eight year old papers accused of hacking into the phones leaving the foundations of targets of the gears including murder and terror victims dead soldiers as well as politicians its own rupert murdoch's news international's announce the paper now set to close off and sensitive john gorton used to work for one of the docks newspapers told me it's the elite few media in the. many of us who are calling for a full public inquiry led by a judge and cameron has been dragged through this position he's now willing to let it happen to extremely embarrassing for him he's part of what's called the chipping camden separate or rural parts of britain he lives down there at the weekend rebecca gross lives down there sir and columnist lived down there and the whole set you colonic socially that set was

a different set when labor in power which only blair got all over is too cozy and too comfortable if you don't have a real democracy you have to have a separation between the press surely and indeed the political establishment and the government of the day you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united kingdom they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last may not all of neri people in britain their views have not really be represented either in the newspapers or in the political arena last planned for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned i want would your employer a man who's already had to resign over phone hacking allegations why would you take him to the heart of government where he could have access to a top secret dossier as an information it's a sorry sorry day let me tell you not just for the british press but for british democracy. now says final shuttle flights lost to go for the millions but it is

witnessing the historic launch of the one hundred thirty fifth mission and the thirty year history of america's space shuttle program exposes one of the high charms of the launch will be delayed by bad weather but in the end the astronauts did leave earth with a delay of only about a minute i thought he was going to count reports now it was also a poignant moment for those who devoted the whole lawyers to this program from the start of the sentimental journey empty shells that's what was once florida is thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many of the kennedy space center workers rock which is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know going to be just built on the space program you know it's a lot of you are going to be out there in the outer you going on welfare left and

right the chance anthony chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a client his blasting are for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when bill be able to deliver them one thing is certain though building able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work soon this is the first shuttle ever it never made it through space but it was used for tests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space in nineteen eighty one i pull

up. five shuttles had been used for space missions since that two of them were lost in tragic accidents a nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those losses and the skyrocketing price per each launch gradually latched to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad to include the united states to reduce the skilled workforce it's going to be difficult to rebuild it for years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could very crude and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job it's kind of sad because i've already seen a lot of my friends go in there being more people that are growing may never see

again it also means the end of a once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle going to check out archie. in turkmenistan recovery efforts are underway after a series of explosions at a factory in the city of baba down tall down nearby buildings reportedly hundred an ammunitions of official said the blasts were fireworks factory well we're calling to look and we report we've been up to two hundred casualties it's not clear who's been killed the witnesses say the ammunition from the burning depos scattered on the streets some of it's reached neighboring towns they say large sections of the city lost power but water supplies of since been restored securities be tightened up police patrolling the streets. also news this late friday night from moscow a passenger airliner with one hundred twelve people aboard has crossed. the international airport in the democratic republic of congo as it was trying to land

refining has been caused by there in volumes or in quality experts say legislation russia made it more profitable for oil producers to explore its crude oil low quality oil products but now putin says the measures to reverse the trend will be taken. we need to monitor the implementation of the modernization plans by the oil companies and if he didn't meet their obligations the street would have a right to ply sanctions including the seizure of unreasonably of chain preference . just to remind you in may of russia banned the export of high quality fuel the country was facing gasoline shortage domestically as producers chose to exports more cashing in on high oil prices now with the russian economy picking off and growing even faster than expected demand for high quality fuel is expected to grow at more than ten per cent annually and the prime minister made it absolutely clear
