i think. thousands of angry egyptians refused to leave the revolutionary tahrir square as calls for the end of military rule go on despite the cabinets offer to quit. may seem. like using live ammunition against protesters here in times square the details on climate in just a few moments. moscow gets out of the u.s. for slapping more sanctions on iran over its nuclear ambitions saying it contradicts international law and will hurt the prospects for talks. and mission accomplished three crewmembers give thumbs up as they lock their feet believe back

on the ground after six months of sailing in. twenty four hours global news live from moscow this is r.t. with me. swelling numbers so filled cairo's tahrir square rallying against the ruling military council it's now the fourth day of violent clashes police are reportedly also started using live ammunition against the protesters a pulis leader and i was following the armrest in the egyptian capital for us. i thought i could join the fray and it was very noisy where you are the gathering behind the passive house the mood where you i am as you say sixteen you know you see here but at the crunch the numbers just continue to grow there are hundreds of

thousands of people who are still driving having toughest where as you can see many of them feeding for a million man occupation tackett square the town just chanting and has been since the early hours of this morning so the military joint. to step down at the same time they're holding a plaque concert one of them says i base the world of the people on egypt will burn many people are calling this a second revolution all the second phase of the street pollution that people here are angry they believe it it's in people's faces one dictatorship calls me mubarak was another the army that's been in control since figurine now we are hearing was that the clashes between protesters and security personnel that have been taking place into the streets that separate tough to square where i am on the way about interior ministry over the that's the many reports and i'm still hearing ambulances saving and injured and wounded people the obvious response has been that it doesn't

have any intention to occupy tuchis where it simply wants to protect the interior building but we have been hearing before some doctors that the army has been firing live ammunition top to saying that they've been treating patients but if woods today here's what gunshot wounds to the head and the neck and would severely bruises all over the body that he supposed to be in using that and to be to the crowd there was a rumor circulating that the police are using a new kind of see it as no way to verify that it might be true it might not be true certainly there was a lot of anxiety and a lot of fear going on at the moment the army for its side would be launching soonish to try to come into this which again that is what many people have been telling me because there are so many here if the army has acknowledged any signs of attack later they would be some are saying the possible that part paula we understand that the capital has offered to resign and i'll just days before the

election some i think that would appear as are the protesters to some degree what's the next step well for the military council. well we hearing that mohamed el baradei as you say the former head of the international atomic energy agency has accepted the post of prime minister nicety this is true he would be tossed was forming the next government the ruling military did say that it was going to appoint a prime minister and even what it enhanced that it accepted the resignation of its government that we see mission came late last night the government which was appointed by the minute he stated that he needed to see the fall of the people get out of this just in a taped five minute speech try and bring the situation i suppose to try and set the demands of people here the people here say that it's simply too little too late people say that it doesn't matter whether the government stepping down not they want the army the supreme council of the armed forces known as camp to stick down because if they do they are the ones that are still in charge now you can find me

the sound you mock to gain the confidence to just pull my decisions backwards there are rumors that relating to the police might be entering into the mess he was late charges spells because all six hearing movement that the army is going to listen to more of a consensus that has a lot of room is a lot of confusion and a lot of chaos at this stage in toughness where right now there's a policy that i think. this arrest is the largest and bloodiest since the february uprisings that toppled hosni mubarak the u.k. m.p. jeremy called and told us here at r.t. it's time at the military government listen to protesters who are fighting for their rights. well i think what they want is the opportunity to decide their own future in their own government and what they have is a military council running the country ever since for barak step to have is essentially full of mubarak appointees and it seems to me that the behavior of the

army and indeed the police towards the demonstrators in tahrir square exam is provocative really they're playing that far because if the elections are postponed because of the behavior of the military then presumably the council see itself as a longer in power of course permanently and that will then provoke more demonstrations and a whole new uprising across the whole country it's completely undemocratic the military of always had a president as the official agent from politics the high ranking officers enjoy an extremely privileged position and financially lives were actually independent of the state in many respects this is any. challenge you see with the free you can have a huge battle it seems to me the brush has become even before people rich in history can place i hope that the military begin to see some sense and recognize that they have got to withdraw from the politics will see. what you're not see now russia has called the new american sanctions targeting iran's financial and energy

sectors quote unacceptable and contradictory to international law moscow also underlined that such measures would hurt the chances of renewing talks with tehran over its nuclear program but full of the decision of by the u.k. and canada to cut all ties with iranian banks the measures the result of the latest u.n. atomic watchdog report suggested tehran is building a bomb or something iran for him and he denies any sanctions target iran's main bank and blacklists and thirty suspected of aiding iran's nuclear program u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton warned but increasingly aggressive action against the country will continue other governments to put pressure on its own political analyst chris bambery thinks this approach by the west resembles the lead up to the iraq invasion. this is a ramping up of pressure on iran and we have seen israel being

for an attack on. iran we've seen israel essentially a dummy really. need to be inside been year but it's when flying back in to test its capacity to launch an attack on iran and why i need to agree to that i don't know we've seen israel launching an into the contents of ballistic missile in recent weeks and we have this force at the moment of of israel sitting in a conference discussing a nuclear free middle east when it is the only power in the middle east which has a nuclear program they are very selective in the use of sanctions of course to do nothing about it pakistan is an unstable state with nuclear weapons and you know of course it has been an ally of britain america in inside that and i think people are asking what are britain america doing here they're marching to the drums of war once again claiming weapons of mass destruction we've heard these queens before some ten years ago in relation to iraq sanctions were used in iraq to soften up the country in preparation for

a military strike i would be very worried about that and to be honest alliance of britain and america planning for and for an attack around britain as contingency plans to support an american based attack on iran is a frightening prospect. of any military action against iran could start a third world war that's the theory of former u.s. senator mike gravel you can watch his full interview later this hour and i'll print . this whole ginning up for war with iran very dangerous because iran is not syria not lebanon and iran is a proud nation and they have missile capabilities they won't have nuclear capabilities but they have missile capabilities that they can rain down on television now i can tell you if they are attacked they will attack back and and israel is so vulnerable and so small that they will retaliate they'll use nukes what do you think haka stunts going to do with its nukes. what do you

think china's going to do what do you think the united states is going to do in retaliation i mean you could start. world nuclear war. there are more thoughts from our former senator in full in about twenty minutes time here our team when we come to you live from moscow all ahead for you in the program addiction to money as a russia lashes out at the u.s. for letting afghan pop music grow there's concern the opium business is simply too lucrative to destroy. and second moment to a crash the first minutes on terra firma proper three space travelers who safely return to work after six months and. ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital but despite all efforts from e.u. politicians and newly appointed technocrats the sovereign debt crisis continues its

march all across the eurozone spain's boring costs have soared as investors showed little faith in the country's newly elected center right government italy's marriot monti is in brussels to convince and european leaders that his country's economy is back on track and his commitment to the single currency held strong by the greek prime minister. was promised his country will receive the next bailout tranche before the end of the year that's after he to talk technocrats and assured them that he was determined to implement all of the cuts demanded by greece's creditors because artie sarah ferguson her new leaders of crisis hit countries but still struggling to get the backing of the people the changing face of year in democracy as the euro crisis continues to claim political heads and elected leaders have taken the reins and greece and italy his government is being formed.

explicit. the explicit task to do what europe's requires new leaders have been holding close to their european counterparts have a day pass before and hercules and others would call it impossible in trying to balance democracy with debt reduction it seems that now the latter is one out of the problem is that there's nor political parties sure many academics flora other groups the. concrete suggestions of this edition of the grossest in italy i speak with economists my chalet to sack a about why when it comes to finding a solution to the crisis the people seem to be being left out of the equation seeing happening to a crisis that has seemed to a lot of people very very confusing he think this sense of economic and political games has begun to fire itself take it back and get the decision to the people here

this is affecting go through the river and. moving ripples of the year they were there will also be. could happen dres suggestion of a referendum and followed by his sharp exit eventually people are going to have to be asked what they want despite strong here is a reference to those old time as if they're being inside the year it's become increasingly clear that there is and always has been a choice it's about time that people were allowed to make wrong people are afraid in the block me every day they're saying to them look if you don't accept what the europeans are saying if you don't accept if their demands are imposed by the government then baby ayla. was leaving the year is again still remains an

extremely unpopular call stacks see to you is simply continuing along brussels half which until now has meant more stary see painful jump cuts will bear louts could know you solution all of which has led to a growing social unrest that threatens to undermine the whole concept of european unity. on c. now at least a new leaders are planning to join forces with france and germany to form a team of the euro zone's three largest economies to battle that greek lawyer george cotton got us believe that all efforts on bail outs will not be enough to get back on its feet. very probably got a good big discuss but of course this is not going to save us because these are all story commercials are going to be implemented there is no way out for greece neither for the other countries of the eurozone it is the lack of democratic

legitimacy not only with prime minister that it never has been a liquid but the plate to impose us policies that are out of completely out of starts with a majority view of the relationship that is the key. case or for lack of democratic means if you must but also if not a little bit as wealthy or poor leave because the system is completely bankrupt completed this could you think it unfortunately would look to get how far your political life in that in this political i've been the do not be i could do crowd pick one without any kind of democratic and political is it the most so this kind of period off by them was a problem with you he's not going to last both because all you see is meant ineffective and exactly because they love any kind of approval of the electorate. and british taxpayers are also not immune to financial hardship they've are now being saddled with some four hundred million pounds worth of losses in

a bank sale deal that sealed by the finance secretary and later our economic group max kaiser explores how banks are sailing through the ongoing crisis. the so-called bad bank concept they have on their books of a certain value they don't use mark to market accounting they say that the assets on a bad banks' balance sheets are worth one hundred cents on the dollar we know that there were zero cents on the dollar you see this in countries all over the world particularly famously nama in ireland and has bad bank work the assets are supposed to be worth something but they're actually worth nothing same thing in the u.k. so you think of northern rock they've got a bad bank the assets are worth nothing simply write off the bad debts the bankers made if they can't pay back debts that they may then they need to be punished in some way taken. getting out of the banking business for a lot of things while you continue in the banking business there's already proven that they are nothing but lost the mystic leaching.

about seven minutes time with the business but for now america's approach to tackling the flow of illegal drugs from afghanistan is misguided at this criticism from russia's anti drug cheat who believes a complete eradication of poppy fields is the only solution position not currently shared by the u.s. however the reluctance now with some asking if the business is simply too lucrative to destroy. the gates. these harmless looking afghan poppies have caused millions of deaths worldwide. russian the u.s.

have teamed up to crack down on drug producers in afghanistan as a result of joint operations a number of major labs were destroyed there but there is a stark difference in how russian the u.s. see the solution to the problem. metaphorically speaking instead of destroying the machine gun nest they suggest catching bullets flying from the machine gun we suggest eradicating our college plans altogether as long as there are opium poppy fields there will be trafficking as simple as that but the u.s. and other nato countries have no intention to eradicate afghan poppy fields once and for all they say afghans need opium poppies to survive another inconsistency. with the us together with a colombian government eradicates two hundred thousand hectares of coca pushes a year in afghanistan only two thousand hectares of poppy fields are being around a kid one hundred times less apart from the refusal to get rid of the poppies there is the alleged interest of international banks in dirty money their cards have

nearly as much air in the total world trade as oil and gas they have russia's drug enforcement suggested u.s. and european banks cast of glee welcome and encourage the inflow of grant money and that is because the reports show that a persistent lack of liquidity and an aspiration to survive during a crisis promote not only tolerance toward criminal money but also encouraging attitude of availability of such money there was silent consent in the u.s. audience to the russian proposal to stop the banks from laundering drug money we can hear very dear can see is tons of narcotics we can make arrests of traffickers but we really need to choke off the farm supply this there was also a sense of get out where the western authorities can actually take on those very powerful financial institutions the u.s. and other nato countries are obviously not into the idea. radically eating afghan poppy fields are together besides international banks don't seem to mind these huge inflow of dirty money experts say that the status quo would lead to millions more
