fresh clashes a flare up in cairo between protesters and security forces with police firing tear gas and rubber bullets all is that all of this as the unrest continues now into a third day. just eight months after its face revolution the country seems on the brink of a not as protesters demanding an end to military rule. stoking the fire russia says western calls the syrian opposition it not to hold talks with the government or a provocation on an international scale. billions of dollars are reportedly wasted and stolen during the u.s. military intervention in iraq those responsible are still walking free.

a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow where it's now a two pm on monday reception in egypt fresh clashes have broken out once again between protesters and security forces with troops firing tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds all of them amassing around the famous harir square over the weekend the violence claimed at least twenty lives the protesters are demanding the military rulers transfer power to an elected civilian government correspondent now reports from cairo. the anger and the numbers continue to mount here into his square i would say that there are easily several thousand protesters who are now clashing with security forces both the police and the army have been firing tear

gas they've been firing rubber bullets and just a short time ago they hit a residential building another building burst in flames there were at least a dozen ambulances that were brought in and we just hearing figures these are preliminary figures that as at least twenty people have now been killed in the last three days of clashes since you get here is that there is going to be continuous violence because the mood is incredibly tense and what people here have been telling me is that they're going to remain intact here square until such time that the military that is currently in power sticks down talking to people here they say that this is the reason why they've taken to the streets for the very fact that they feel nothing has changed they criticize the current ruling military regime as being much the same as the mubarak era they say it's a regime that hasn't given a date in terms of when a plans to step down they say that the elections the parliamentary elections that are now being planned for next week monday will not be free and fair and this is a sentiment i've heard from dozens of people that i've managed to speak to here in

town here square so they say that they've lost faith in the military they believe that the military is not going to keep true to its word to to step down and allow a real representative government to come into place and this is why they taking to the streets they don't want the international community all the egypt public to be fooled by any kind of promises that are coming from the military and certainly this is raising concerns in the international community many western countries have their hopes on the fact that they would be some kind of new regime here in egypt what we've seen happening is the muslim brotherhood putting their voice and the strength behind these demonstrations raising concerns that they will be a strong islamist prisons as this country moves forward. and the political commentator mark glenn says that the arab spring did not produce the desired result and it's turned into frustration as we've seen on the streets of egypt. all that it really succeeded in doing was removing one dictator while the

program and the land and the system remains the same and so for this reason apart from other possible involvement of the outside forces this is the reason why we see the type of one rests in place in egypt it's occurring at the moment 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 it 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 were responsible for training many of these young revolutionaries so in that regard i don't consider that the arab spring has done anything. of course so we are always interested in your opinion today we are asking you when will the renewed violence in egypt come to an end if we go to our website where you can vote there on the poll we can bring

up the numbers right here on r.t.c. how you stack it up so far thirty percent of you say when all of mubarak's cronies are in the dog then the violence will cease slightly over a quarter for the violence will end when unemployment and inflation occur some say the country will return for peace when the military decides it's fed up with protests and a minority think the fighting will end only when the muslim brotherhood is elected to power do visit r.t. dot com have your say. in watching r.t. will knock it off he's a fugitive a spy chief one of the last key figures from libya's old regime still on the run has been caught in the country's south it comes just days after curfew son saif al islam was also court the national transitional council has since said it won't hand him over to the hague tribunal instead it's well to try him at home for crimes against the libyan people that could ultimately result in the death penalty and more market africa's most influential son was also seized in the south of the

country on saturday along with his aides as they try to escape to neighboring in nigeria following the toppling of his father at the end of the eight month civil war many questions about the regime remain saif is believed to be one of the few who could answer them political analyst and author adrian he says saif al islam will either be silenced by the hate all the national transitional council. now. as is a terrible choice between being shot or being hanged because if he is judged in tried in libya he might end up very much and he said hussein right trial where he will end up being wrong or he will end up. and if he isn't there he it will not be one will of all the other we will silence. has been the constant throughout history every time somebody survives who may be in. a relationship we've also seen and this is. how warm are good enough for you only in the last two years has shrunk the

hands of tony blair. no doubt a lot of. a lot of very uncomfortable the information given by. you with r.t. not ask about you we're putting our attention on that of syria russia has accused the west of making the situation there in syria much much worse for minister for office calls for the overthrow of assad's regime is nothing but a provocation that's. the latest on this fluid situation arpita thanks for coming on the program today so strong words from the international community right there from sort of a laugh. yes what we heard from the russian foreign minister today is really a reformation reaffirming so a big part of his his stance on the situation in syria that russia wants to see both sides come together and discuss this now he accused the. western governments

of trying to stop this from happening by calling for the opposition in syria not to sit down and speak with assad's government now. last week we saw that the that it syria were to be expelled from the arab league now this was something that was called by a lover of as a a is counterproductive to a peace process he said that both sides need to sit down and talk about it not what we've heard from him today calling for on those countries to to have said that the opposition shouldn't speak to the government to stop doing nothing as that's just a provocation on an international scale. solicits of course you in syria we're now seeing a situation where the arab league is calling for a whole chavan island and the beginning of dialogue and western countries and the capitals of some countries of the region and making calls to the country expressly recommending the opposition hold no talks with the asset regime it looks like a political provocation on an international scale yes violence has to be stopped

but this demand has to be addressed to the authorities and the only groups in the syrian opposition. well this isn't the first time that we've heard sort of get a lover of their level accusations out the west regarding syria now when you were expelled from the arab league when that decision was made was the laughter of suggested that the shadowy hand of western powers was behind that decision by the arab league no rush it maintains their position which is that they want to see both the opposition and the government sit down and discuss this and find a peaceful solution to the violence which is going on for eight months now claiming an estimated three and a half thousand lives over that time. you know there are already a lot of people around the world who are drawing comparisons to what's going on in syria to what happened with the western intervention in libya we had a report the other day of some officials are going to ask it's actually called on downing street in london to lead some sort of intervention it seems that not just

western calls for intervention in syria but also regionally speaking around syria from countries and leaders that at one point some might have thought it had been assad's allies and friends. live in moscow thank you what i mean by right around the middle east affairs for the world socialist web site christopher noxon believes that the arab league wants assad's regime to go and was never interested in helping it along. but i think first of all you have to say that the efforts of the arab elite would do you are designed to fail. basis not a genuine effort to conflict resolution on the part of the arab league because they are a bleak place an ultimatum before the assad regime in syria they couldn't possibly meet that they would abandon all military action under conditions in which the free syrian army and the old insurgents were carrying out attacks on military targets and even carried out a bombing. attack on the bus but they said court is in damascus well i think

ultimately assad is fallen foul of a push by the united states to secure its domination of the middle east which is the same reason why of course for the war against libya and now they're making very bellicose noises together with israel against iran to the issue is that they want a regime which may or may not include sanctions of the army which is more amenable to u.s. foreign policy and places distance from iran. here with our three live from moscow it's good to have your company today coming up shortly for you in the program protection from prison convicted nazi war criminals living as a free man in estonia leading many wondering why the country was so keen to give him shelter. i was the date for the u.s. troop withdrawal from iraq nears questions are raised over billions of dollars that

are reportedly being wasted or stolen during the military intervention while a record number of arrests have been made for individual soldiers making cash on the side but big players behind the losses remain at large of course monitor guy any reports. not everyone leaves the war zone empty handed the number of people indicted and convicted by the u.s. for bribery fraud and theft 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 food marker and monk 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 enjoyed complete impunity they rebuilt an iraqi army base and i'm telling you the condition of this space and

this is just one example was 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 is being lost to waste and fraud in iraq. gannets than the figures seem even more staggering considering the overall amount the us has committed to rebuilding iraq roughly sixty two billion dollars peter van buren was the head of an iraqi reconstruction team working for the u.s. state department squandering of resources. thousand dollars a couple thousand dollars here and there and all the while you are 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 cut its funding. the details of their program sealed until two thousand and thirty one they don't want certain people in high places. to come under scrutiny in the u.s. congress wants to put the took all 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. it is an hour just on a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital all of the news are much much more still just one click away at r.t. dot com a quick look now at some of the items are waiting for you online of the moment i knew you'd go on for the occupy wall street saga even after multiple raids

and evictions the movement shows no sign of slowing down you can read more at your own leisure at our teeth dot com. also standing by for you up big news for all of lovers who have the chance now to get their hands on a rare. synagogue paintings which are people in new york. in our sporting such a former russian coach guus hiddink tells us here at r.t. that he has no plans to retire from football and he's not ruling out the idea of taking the reins of big spending and judy. this is r.t. spain's that conservative center right party has swept to a landslide landslide victory in parliamentary elections are inheriting sky high

unemployment of more than twenty percent this coming from the ruling socialists and the vote comes amid growing concern that spain is next in line to succumb to the e.u. debt crisis contagion and its arteries are going to go to school reports many spaniards have lost faith that any politicians will be able to turn things around. 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're in for an easy term and the reality of the economic crisis in spain means five million people out of work while only half million households without a wage earner and the youth unemployment rate which has shot up to nearly fifty percent this is it appears the winner will have to deal with what will they really be able to make a difference probably not believe 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 live in a program through this could really be. we may be seeing the death knell of the

welfare state but most spaniards have had enough with 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 have been disappointed with the choices they have 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 want to 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 a bishop a circle and. of course it's all polish to sabine dictates to brussels the elections will help in creating more jobs it will be the opposite public expense will go down people's purchasing power will go down that will mean fewer investments and better straights 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 neared already tired of the economic catastrophe in the country even. madrid. and in about six minutes times you'll be with business but for now three militants have been killed in a counter terror operation in russia's southern republic of korea and a group of terrorists were calling a building in the capital city of now chick now while trying to flee from special forces both sides exchanged fire was or thought is also try to negotiate with the extremists that they had to or eliminate them when they refused to surrender and no reports of casualties among security officers have been reported meanwhile a special operation is underway in the mountains in southern chechnya and it's aimed at blocking and neutralizing members of illegal armed groups two militants were killed as a result over the weekend. all right let's get some other news from around the
