finally prove bigfoot existed. welcome it's eleven pm here in moscow now on about my name is kevin know it and first tonight on r.t. religious tensions in egypt really intensified following the fall of mubarak of now grown into full scale riots over twenty people were killed and hundreds injured as clashes erupted between coptic christians and security forces in cairo what began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on christian churches by muslim extremists quickly turned into the most violent episode since february for a solution military vehicles were clearly seen charging through crowds and plowing into people while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas it's still unclear who sparked the fatal. say yes but state owned media is place blame of the
3:02 pm
christian protesters but middle east well good culture shero told us blaming them for the violence is hypocritical of the country's military rulers. this is a very cynical attempt by the defacto rulers of the country the military to portray a. minority of the population and religious minority as troublemakers when in fact all they're doing are trying to seek some justice and overturn institutionalized discrimination that still residue from the time of war barak and his policies so this is absolutely cynical kind of the way it's covered by the military council and its media are let's look at what the background that we're looking at here in egypt because some people got carried away after mubarak stepped down and declared their evolution over in fact what we are facing is a popular uprising that was
3:03 pm
a poor aborted by a military coup leaving pretty much a political and security vacuum in place and that's the context for what's happening in egypt. all the kind of sides involved from the emerging secular parties to the more established parties through the military to the civil administration president administration don't seem to have enough authority to control the situation in egypt so that void within that vacuum anything is possible at the moment. so he sees last night what do you think of this developing story is what we're asking you on the web site what you think it's all about why do you think violence erupted in egypt just eight months after the uprising toppled the country's leaders this is what you're telling us almost half of you spin on this basically throughout the day slightly less last hour in fact a show that will soon see a regime far worse another hosni mubarak sixty eight percent of this point to a sectarian rift as the main reason for the violence twenty one. think egypt's
3:04 pm
enemies from overseas are instigating the clashes with our guest earlier on the same as well the rest of you sure that's just the fact of the federal revolution is simply not over yet thanks for your thoughts and views so it's good to hear from you without. to the trouble spot in africa now in libya heavy fighting for moammar gadhafi is home of search shows no sign of abating however libya's revolutionary forces claim that they're closer than ever to taking full control of the town has been under siege for almost a month now they've made significant advances they say by capturing the university the main hospital in the convention center that was the key base of the colonel's loyalists heavy fighting though still rages in some pockets of the city considered the most important stronghold of libya's i was to lead it investigative journalist simon assaf told me the assault on said is hurting civilians not ensuring deliberation. i think what's happening in sirte is really quite shocking i mean if you remove yourself from saying i support one side or support the other side what
3:05 pm
we're seeing is a full scale assault on. pop you know very densely populated area in which civilians are paying a very very heavy price now the reason why this is important is because the whole basis on which nato imposed the no fly zone at the beginning of the conflict was precisely to defend civilians against clinically attacks and now we have if you like the allies of nato doing what their enemies were doing a few months ago and you have to begin to ask yourself where is nato now why is nato not saying these are civilians under attack by a military force we have to stop we have to stop this attack and i think what we're beginning to see is if you like is that from a reemergence of the double standards what's happening in libya now is is going to be a war crime if it is a war crime i think has to stop immediately has to be negotiation they have to be allowed to surrender but more importantly i think if they don't surrender then you
3:06 pm
put the city under siege allowed its opponents to flee and they're not and they're not doing that and trash continue in syria to where opposition supporters a following in the footsteps of egyptian revolution reason alone to a website to find out russia is trying to help find their way to end the conflict reports on the talks with the syrian opposition here in moscow is it out c dot com for you tonight. with the antiwar street protests in the fourth week now demonstrators voices really getting louder and spreading wide from coast to coast in dozens of cities people have been taking to the streets to demand an end to the fat cat culture and economic inequality. is in the heart of the movement you york city. this demonstration that this group occupy wall street has really mobilized a lot of momentum and as far as the protesters value to remain and stay that clearly was the case this past weekend there was bunch of protesters camped out outside of the new york stock exchange in lower manhattan and one man was arrested
3:07 pm
because he was sleeping in the walkway entering the new york stock exchange and that was the single arrest but there were so many people down there sleeping outside of it taking part in this demonstration that he only had room to sleep on the walkway before his arrest the demonstrators hung up a sign on the new york stock exchange buildings that said banks got bailed out we got sold out this weekend we also did see religious groups join this movement members of the christian jewish muslim clergy clergies in new york city joined demonstrators in lower manhattan to support them in this ongoing protest against corporate influence over u.s. politics families were also bringing their young children now in there to take part in this ongoing demonstration and there's a kickstarter called epic step that has vowed to pay for an occupy wall street
3:08 pm
building in times square if just twenty thousand people logged on to their website in support of this billboard these demonstrations popping up all across the country and i will for example thirty two people got arrested over the weekend for taking part in our question it's gotten so large that mainstream media in the united states has no choice but to cover it they cannot ignore it anymore and i think the tipping point was the arrest of nearly eight hundred peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge but even having said that though even the exit date in new york times didn't give that story much room on the front page but now. mainstream publications such as the new york times and the mainstream media outlets in the us are turning their attention to this movement because you know alternative new stations are covering the story it's growing bigger and if mainstream media doesn't cover it it's going to be seen as an absolute blackout and too many people at this point in the u.s.
3:09 pm
too many americans are involved for the mainstream media to simply ignore it any longer or small reaction to the occupy wall street protests let's talk to chris of the green is a blogger and founder of independent media treme joining someone from phoenix arizona christopher. international you're looking almost from phoenix first of all is it happening where you are and we've seen these protests grow grow in strength since they began last month how far is it going to go. this is spreading all across the country this is a a movement no different from what we saw with the arab spring protests and let's stop beating around the bush here this is a full scale full blown revolution it's spreading across the country we're we're not just talking about thousands of people here we're talking about millions of people and it's taken three years for the american people to wake up and to realize that we've been robbed and over fifteen trillion dollars in two thousand and eight was extorted from the general public and siphoned off of the top point zero zero one percent club go krauts in this country rice
3:10 pm
a club joe kratz i'm talking about the politicians i'm talking about the corporations you know ultimately i'm talking about the big banks in this country and i'm talking about the federal reserve which is central to this movement now the mainstream media is co-opting this movement along with the administration along with our president trying to tell the public that there is no message behind this movement there is the message you know this is the message we are the ninety nine percent you are the one percent who are calling for the end to the criminally run federal reserve that is central to this theme. a few things but a big confusing we've been watching on very closely here for a moscow reporting on over the past couple of days without correspondents at the scene there new york correspondent talking to people down there a bit of confusion this come out of it i think is that initially the protest as it was being reported like this that was saying well they didn't have a clear set of objectives because it was it was into more of a broad brushstroke than that i don't have a clear set of goals they were talking about things from ending economic inequality
3:11 pm
to stopping wars there were a number of issues they wanted to address so i guess from the outside if you know a part of it it looks like their message wasn't khana focused enough can you see. well i think the message needs to be simplified again we need it in the federal reserve in this country they are central to the core of our problems they orchestrated designed and built the securitization model along with the banks in this country over the you know past several decades that destroyed america as you know you know let's let's let's get real here let's get her poor this is really target of media is all about this is the end of america our ministration through the big banks have destroyed capitalism in this country and this is something that the mainstream media isn't talking about many of us including ourselves are asking for a restoration of capitalism we're also asking for a restoration of morality these bankers need to be prosecuted if convicted after a fair trial that you can fail we need justice the people want justice in this
3:12 pm
country we have record high levels of unemployment we have a real estate market that we talked about we've been talking about over a year and a half we experienced worst peak to trough declines and will be down in the 1930's great depression that is now of that we are engaged in countless wars overseas and you know last week more continue our anniversary or anniversary a little unusual let me focus she would just massaging people who have the time otherwise i want to last your thoughts about how the police in honduras how the authorities are handled these demonstrations we've seen with their own eyes and cameras i'm seeing the police being tough with some of the demonstrates is probably going to get any tougher as this demonstrations go on are going to see more violence. unfortunately we are in it as much as i don't want to see that in most americans would hate to see that there is going to be some kind of martyrdom in the near future we are going to see violence in iraq we can argue that we already have the violence in this country with the police pepper spraying protesters with you
3:13 pm
know innocent teenage women and be you know but taunted you know on here oh this is what the alternative media is showcasing right now again this is a revolution this is this is a change in psychology this is an evolution in human consciousness the people are waking up and we're demanding change this is no different from what we saw overseas in the middle east and northern africa the revolution has now come to the united states of america this would rain thank you so much it was so clearly putting your thoughts on the program blogger and founder of that incredibly channel as you thank you. very much of course as we mentioned we are u.s. correspondent in the thick of it there as well following developments specially in the heart of events in new york keeping you updated on how those protests have been unfolding over the last couple of days prolific cell phones he's losing confound off of latest one from the hundreds of police officers are patrolling the city streets following last night's arrest and at the center of the big apple looks quote like a military base as i'm here on twitter you can follow the action from us on twitter at. the school com.
3:14 pm
russia could soon come to the rescue of debt written economies the helping hand was extended by the presidential aide however the tails of the plan will only be discussed off to europe comes up with a player ante crisis strategy tom barton reports. well this news comes from the presidential economic aide who said there have been meetings recently focusing primarily on spain and those meetings a raise the possibility of russia being able to buy some of spain's debt and so provide extra help for the e.u.'s debt crisis he also said that of the brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa could try and help economically would be used economic woes but there is a big but it relies on the e.u. coming up with a clear plan to try and contain the debt crisis that is currently sweeping across
3:15 pm
the eurozone we all know about the problems in greece italy and spain credit ratings have recently been downgraded again raising fears of major debt problems there so russia says it's true it's too early at the moment to talk about any concrete plans to start buying up spanish debt we want to see a unanimous plan first. so it is time barking there reporting for us greece is the epicenter of the crisis with international creditors still finalizing talks on whether to hand the thumbs another cash injection i spoke to dr richard wellings he is from the institute of economic affairs he said there's no other solution at this stage he thinks other than the dissolution of the euro zone. eventually. like to undermine even the most powerful economies in europe such as france and germany so basically i can this is the answer politicians and bureaucrats main main priority is to avoid taking the blame so well they're doing is kicking the can down the road do you think german public opinion is hardly in and of course
3:16 pm
german taxpayers or german savers are the people who are the real victims of these these quick fixes when the european central bank prints money to make an official bailouts of spain and italy as it has and of course people will savings in euro's they're the ones that suffer from but of course the problem is that german taxpayers are going to be on the whole for not just greece but potentially all the other seven european countries so really the only long term solution is an orderly dissolution of the eurozone probably starting with greece elsewhere around the world the e.u. mediator in kosovo dialogue is said to me because of the representatives of the gold for the fishes in belgrade robert cooper is helping to resume an exchange between the sides that would go to a halt after a violent incident licorice of the serbian border last month at least eleven people were wounded then after ethnic serbs clashed with nato peacekeepers tried to disperse protesters against constables attempt to take over two border crossings.
3:17 pm
an american deep sea exploration company has discovered a ship reportedly filled with twenty tons of silver in the north atlantic a vessel said to be the remains of a ship which sank in the first world war i've been torpedoed by german submarine silver saying on board is worth an estimated twenty million dollars recovery expedition is due to start next spring. pakistan's arrest doesn't al-qaeda linked suspects it follows increasing pressure from the us which accused the country of sheltering terrorists and not officially the to see i view on many issues some of washington but it is a poor action against islam a bad it's going to get you can't report. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we can now hear the coming across the border attacking our forces in. afghanistan east and then disappearing into
3:18 pm
a safe. economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency pakistan is furious over the accusations calling them unsubstantiated and saying that washington came very close to losing a major ally in its war on terror if you talk about links i'm quite sure yours has been said many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we mean intelligence things over the last ten years pakistan has repeatedly compromised its own sovereignty to help the americans in their operations the us while chasing down suspected terrorists has been bombing pakistan with drones on a regular basis the strikes have killed thousands of civilians use of going to tax is not against our sovereignty it is also counterproductive it's the people who want to build friends in the sky dickens terrorism after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied
3:19 pm
to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is a friend and the americans in this one instance have hand it over a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan inspiring china officially notified washington that any attack on pakistan will be seen as an act of aggression against beijing the pakistani prime minister praised his country's relations with china calling them quote higher than mountains deeper than oceans stronger than steel and sweeter than honey washington on the other hand seems to have mastered the art of alienating friends with pakistan. taking america's accusations that they support terrorists as a way to shift the blame for the either of us policies on pakistan but the blame game made to go up into full scale aggression the experts believe we need to elevate our response they will have a lot of support on capitol hill u.s.
3:20 pm
lawmakers have already signaled that if there is the will for tough action against pakistan they'll support it and when washington says the words safe haven for terrorists that's what you expect tough action and if it does happen pakistan could be the new afghanistan but with china as a friend and nuclear bombs at hand sounds like a deadly combination for the united states i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . a lot of folks are not talking about it is the very subject in cross talk show on a in ten minutes time here on the international unfound unfounded arose in fear in curiosity in equal measure evidence of the existence of big foot remains elusive however the hunt for the three shows no sign of ending as art history of north took part in a siberian expedition to track down the lead ship. the yeti also known as big food snowman who was quote has been exciting scientists and enthusiastic from all
3:21 pm
over the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently gigantic creature is more than just a big legend these beautiful mountainous forests in russia siberia are among the few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and this is where the scientists from around the globe has come for the largest expedition of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to set out what's never been done before to finally catch the creature. but first we go to get blessing from this lions indigenous inhabitants and the list their spiritual support. so it's really. shaman a dash doesn't have any doubts i'm not sure i can tell you that yes he is
3:22 pm
encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger thicket in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranchers trieste of life fears are believed to be a key clue to the other's existence the scientists say it could not have been done by any moles as they don't have hair and or fingers to do and humans cannot do this way either as they are just not strong enough the deeper we go into the forest the more so-called markers we come across because in the middle of the birds and tiger forests are also high interest disciplines of the expedition are so it's not just falling trees the branches they say could have been put in this way deliberately by someone. and now the stroke of luck we meet and local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature a nearby explorer say chances are very high to me yes over there in the cave a nest or at least discover some traces of this crater so let's go there and sure
3:23 pm
enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. a troll with the feel that he just took over but certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions this is beautiful surface to reach for tragedy and there's always that one in the stream and certainly here you are right there. in the right. bigfoot playing hopscotch sure would like to see a left foot that's the left one has never been discovered and celebrations are put on hold these are the real thing or they're convenient crops to make a very good story but i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further. the study that will take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty
3:24 pm
here who want to be holding their breath. even if it bring them snowmen dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or mutation or i think this could be explained by an impotence including financial impotence of the economic signs of. them vicious expeditions seems to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete evidence is found the discovery of the food remains a peak fate. reported from siberia. we're on the trail of the hopping yeti now coming up shortly tonight people of iowa says there's no connection by the way what's ahead for fragile u.s. pakistani relations could program come up from time when it's time for the business first spoke arena say with all the latest from moscow.
