watching marty coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program well in egypt at least thirteen people have been killed and hundreds injured after two days of clashes between protesters and security forces troops used tear gas and rubber bullets in a major assault against demonstrators who are demanding military rulers transfer power to a civilian government but more violence has escalated in where more people have been camping out and these are the latest pictures of protest which have now entered the air third day the unrest comes just a week before the first free parliamentary election in egypt in decades of course phone calls here it will be with us shortly to bring us up to date. and political commentator mark glenn says the arab spring did not produce the

desired results and has turned into frustration on the streets of egypt. all that it really succeeded in doing was removing one dictator while the program and the plan and the system remains the same and so for this reason apart from other possible involvement of outside forces this is the reason why we see the type of unrest taking place in egypt it's occurring at the moment but i do not believe that the arab spring was soley a grass roots movement outside of outside influence that there were not elements involved in that we know that the united states and great britain and israel had spies on the ground in all of these countries where these revolutions were taking place we know that there were various groups tied to the cia that was responsible for training many of these young revolutionaries so in that regard i don't consider that the arab spring has done anything. you know what an hour to live from moscow

and coming up shortly protection romper isn't a convicted nazi war criminals living life as a free man in a stony leaving many wondering why the country so keen to give him shelter. syria's foreign minister has accused the arab league of being used as a tool to force the syrian crisis before the u.n. security council this comes as the leader rejected damascus demand to change its plan to and a violent crackdown on protesters syria was told to accept five hundred international observers and a country a move that was turned down by president bashar asad country now faces new sanctions as the arab league's deadline for an answer to the bloodshed expired on saturday the u.n. says more than thirty five hundred syrians have died during months of anti-government protests rider on middle east affairs for the world socialist web site christopher marston believes that the arab league wants athens regime to go and was never interested in helping it. but i think first of all you have the

efforts of the arab league with designed to fail. this is not enough it's a complete resolution. to believe it's not a bleak place in the ultimatum to leave assad regime in syria that could possibly mate is that they would abandon all military action hundred conditions in which the free syrian army. over the insurgents were carrying out its sights on military targets and even tried. to talk only but they said this is in damascus well i think ultimately assad is all the info it's a big push by the united states to secure its domination of the middle east which is the same reason why i pushed for the war against libya and now they're making very bellicose noises together with israel against iran that the issue is that they want

a regime which may or may not include sections of the army which is more amenable to u.s. foreign policy and thinks its distance from iran. market office fugitive spy chief one of the last key figures from libya's old regime still on the ron has been captured in the country south it comes just days after a gadhafi son saif al islam was also caught the national transitional council has since said it won't hand him over to the hague tribunals instead it's about to try him at home for crimes against the libyan people that could result in the death penalty monarch of his most influential son was seized in the south of the country on saturday along with his aides as they try to escape to neighboring affair following the toppling of his father and they have an eight month civil war many questions about the regime remain safe is believed to be one of the few who could answer in an order to alice and author adriana she says. will be silenced by either the hague or the national transitional council.

as is a terrible choice between being shot or being hanged because if he is judged and tried in libya you might end up very much you know saddam hussein like trial where he will end up being. killed one will the other and if he is extreme. it will not be. all the other they will say i was the son as has been the constant throughout history every time somebody survives the. will the relations we've also seen and this is all of this horrible documents how warm are the only in the last few years as the hands of only. no doubt a lot of things were negotiated a lot of very uncomfortable the regime's own information given by. as the date for the u.s. troop withdrawal from iraq nears questions are raised over billions of dollars that

have reportedly been wasted or stolen during the military intervention while a record number of arrests have been made for individual soldiers making cash on the side the big players behind the losses remain a large. county reports. not everyone beats the war zone empty handed a number of people indicted and convicted by the us for bribery fraud in there in iraq and afghanistan has never been so high among those a marine in iraq who sent home forty three thousand dollars in stolen cash by hiding it in a foot locker among american flags a soldier who shipped thousands more concealed in a toy stuffed animal they can go after people to steal forty three thousand dollars all they want necessary ok they should go after him but what about on the larger scale in two thousand and six michael o'brien was tasked with helping build the iraqi military he says those who have pocketed mili is enjoy complete impunity they

rebuilt an iraqi army base and i'm telling you the condition of this space and this is just one example so deplorable it was so pathetic and when i asked the american construction project manager what did this cost how much money went into this i really thought he was going to say three million or five million one hundred sixteen million dollars. the commission on wartime contracting estimated that between thirty one to sixty billion dollars has been lost to waste and fraud in iraq and afghanistan it figures seem even more staggering considering the overall amount the u.s. is committed to rebuilding iraq roughly sixty two billion dollars he did ranbir and was the head of an iraqi reconstruction team working for the u.s. they department the squandering of resources occurred small levels a thousand dollars a couple thousand dollars here and there and all the way up into hundreds of

millions of dollars that were spent on hospitals that never opened or prisons that never took any prisoners in the commission on wartime contracting is out of business now after congress had its funding. the details of their probe see. until two thousand and thirty one they don't want certain people in high places. to come under scrutiny with the us congress wants to put the debacle of our iraq invasion behind it the scope of the waste and fraud is enormous the u.s. justice system goes after individuals who have stolen a few thousand dollars here and there but not after the big players the big contractors that have really made a killing on the wars i'm going to check our reporting from washington r t. let's go back now to our top story at least thirteen people have been killed and hundreds injured after two days of clashes between protesters and security forces troops used tear gas and rubber bullets in

a major assault on demonstrators who are demanding the military rulers transfer power to a civilian government our correspondent policy here is joining us from cairo for more on this one poll we we've been hearing more of violence there in egypt so bring us up to speed what's going on. well this clash that you see in the street behind me is one of the side streets of taffy a square now there are thousands of protesters that are clashing here with police as i look here there have been ambulance said to have bought in what we understand happened is that the police started firing rubber bullets at the demonstrators some of these rubber bullets went astray and actually hit this residential building that is to the right of the speech and started a fire now there were at least a dozen agonises that came in there was a fire brigade and fire had started they managed to put the fire out the thousands of people now taking to the streets and incredibly angry as i was waiting to cross to the crowd was searching around the ambulances we have no information at this

stage who has been injured and how bad those injuries are but we certainly know that there are a number of people who have been hurt in these clashes now just to the right of me here in the square the numbers constantly keep growing more and more people are coming out to tell. his way to vent their frustrations to bend they would be a big grievances and throughout the day there are ambulances there are shots of rubber bullets as i'm talking to you i can hear some gunfire just off to my right and people screaming at us the way they don't train like having journalists here on the square they feel that this story is not being with the same to when i had a chance to speak to some of these protesters earlier they said that they going no way they remaining here on the streets are tough here and so the military that has been leading this country since hosni mubarak was forced to step down unsavory and till this military regime sits down because they believe that it is much the same as was to mubarak's regime. quasi regard as you know was ousted in february and ever since the situation the country has been quite unstable so what has actually

changed in the country and how is life changed if in any way has. what i can tell you that i'm probably going to start crying with my eyes because this tear gas that is being fired and fired in this in the air all over the crowd has gathered here around us and they are protesting they are shouting and this is exactly what they saying that nothing has changed in this country since mubarak is issue but they saying is that this military regime is much the same that they are not stating a date for any kind of presidential elections the parliamentary elections that are due to be held next monday they do not believe they will be free and fair and really they want the revolution to go one step further that speaking to people here they feel that the revolution it back in february held so much promise is a revolution by and large that has failed because so little has effectively been changed in this country. or paul thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest from the egyptian capital cairo there are as we're hearing of more clashes

and violence they are posed earlier with four year. well you watching are to remember that all of our news and much more is just one click away at r.t. dot com that's our website let's now take a look at what's available for you there now and he's gone for the occupy wall street saga even after multiple raids and out of a chance the movement shows no sign of slowing down so read more at archie dot com . also online for you big news for art lovers that have the chance to get their hands on a rare of varsha gold synagogues paintings with which are to be auctioned in new york and. you know world sports section former russian coach guus hiddink tells our team that he has no plans to retire from football and he's even playing with the idea of taking the reins and big spending on g.

journey the length of life. the desire for the best of things. that are you know. the story of one man who returns whom after years of. white house. watching r.t. spain's conservative center right party has swept to

a landslide victory in parliamentary elections inheriting sky high unemployment of more than twenty percent down from the ruling socialist the vote comes amid growing concern that spain is next in line to succumb to the e.u. debt crisis contagion and as our teaser reading reports many spaniards have lost face that any politicians will be able to turn things round this is what the spaniards want from the elections but it's very unlikely they'll get it the popular party may have won sunday's polls but it's highly unlikely they are in for an easy term the reality of the economic crisis in spain means five million people out of work one and a half million households without a wage earner and a youth unemployment rate which has shot up to nearly fifty percent this is a state of affairs the winner will have to deal with but will they really be able to make a difference. probably not believes gail allard an economics professor at madrid's i even a school we're going to have to cut benefits sharply we may have to differentiate among recipients of benefits we may have to limit programs through this could

really be. we may be seeing the death of the welfare state but most spaniards have had enough of budget cuts and empty promises protests by the fifteen m. movement the so-called indignant marches have been spreading throughout spain since march many people have chosen not to go to the polls on sunday believing politicians will not help the country i think people are being disappointed with the choices they have coming all through throughout this campaign really for the last couple of months at least because i think they feel that there isn't a great deal of difference between the two candidates in terms of what they would do and it seems there is no easy way out of the current economic downturn in fact some of the minorities in the parliament believe spain is an ambitious circle and of course it's all polish is a big state and brussels elections will help in creating more jobs it will be the opposite public expense will go down people's purchasing power will go down but

will need fewer investments and veterans rates into unemployment. and though there may be new faces in the spanish government they will have to deal with the old problems in much the same way meaning nothing is likely to change for spain here it's already tired of the konami catastrophe and the country it is. better it. three militants have been killed in a counter-terror operation in russia's southern republic of coverage you know will car you have a group of terrorists was corner in a building in the capital city of knowledge it while trying to flee from special forces both sides exchanged fire as authorities also try to negotiate with the extremists but have to eliminate them when they refused to surrender no reports of casualties among security officers are being reported meanwhile a special operation is underway in the mountains in southern chechnya aimed at blocking neutralizing members of illegal armed groups two militants were killed in the operation over the weekend something to look at some other stories from around

history's darkest chapters are just he has more. mickael gosh coffee is rated eighth in simon wiesenthal list of most wanted nazi war criminals but when you post this and we're just he participated in the murder of three thousand of jews in the roots in the 1940's what documents proving it were provided for the estonian authorities as well because then you know a story is anti-fascist committee says the proof of god's cause atrocities in a by the russian concentration camp is solid and undoubted but instead of seeing off his days from behind bars he now lives the life of a free man in this baltic state. of was deported from the us and stripped of us such as national person or person it give him shelter and try to hide what was then under international pressure the authorities had to initiate an investigation. however the probe brought no results after months of investigation

is still only in authorities close the case oh well grounded doubt remains that they can score mentioned in the material is not the me how you can score who is at present a citizen of the republic of a stone in the case will be closed as it has been impossible for the investigative team to find any additional evidence the decision raised eyebrows in israel at first but then simon wiesenthal center recalled which country they were dealing with a cord washington spoke to the people who are here with this prosecution united states and there was any doubt regarding his a belly and they said no none whatsoever. now this doesn't surprise me personally because for the last fifteen years i've been dealing with the estonians historians have totally failed in terms of prosecuting actually it's clear that there's absolutely no political will to bring these people to justice and they're going to score story is not a one off case from sanctioning s.s. veterans marches glorifying former nazi collaborators this has been tolerance

policy for the past decade but recently this man made just about every headline in a story are almost on the scale of a national holiday the country marked the nineteenth birthday of the only remaining holder of the iron cross one of the highest medals of nazi germany sixty five years ago the new tribunals sentenced the nazi leadership to either executions or prison terms this trial of history was meant to get rid of nazism for good but the s.s. marches in baltic states and other cases of rehabilitation of fascism nowadays suggest that history lessons have not been fully learned alexy russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a store near. well we are going back now to our breaking news story this hour and more violence has flared in cairo as protests and there are day
