angry calls for the end of military rule ringing out in egypt as the former chief of the un atomic watchdog agrees to head the government. this is the police chief. up to square egypt. the u.s. for punishing iran over nuclear suspicion sanctions contradict international law and the future. back from the stop three. feet on firm ground as that mission ends after six months in

a top story this up. international news in coming live from moscow twenty four hours a day this is the swelling numbers have filled caro's time here square running against the ruling military council and the fourth day of clashes police have reportedly started using live ammunition against the protesters there is following the unrest in the egyptian capital. there are hundreds of thousands of people who are still arriving here in tough years where as you can see many of them heeding the call for a million man occupation of toughness where the crowd is chanting and has been since the early hours of the slowing of the looting for a minute she joins us to step down at the same time they're holding up that concert one of them says at base the world of the people all egypt will burn many people

are calling this a second revolution all the second phase of the st lucia the people here are angry and they believe that they simply replacing one dictator hosni mubarak with another the army that's been in control since figuring that we are hearing holds that the clashes between protesters and security personnel that have been taking place into the streets that separate toughness where i am coming we have got into the ministry of the that's the yemeni reports i'm still hearing ambulances came in and injured and wounded people the obvious response has been that it doesn't have any intention to occupy time this way would simply want to protect the interior building the we have been hearing reports from doctors that the army has been firing live ammunition up to saying that they've been treating patients with what it would still be hit with gunshot wounds to the head and they would severely bruises all over the body the police have also been using that and to beat the crowds there was

a rumor circulating that the police are using a new kind of tear gas no way to verify that it might be true it might not be true so he thinks a lot of noise and a lot of fear going on at the moment the on the point side would be launching soonish to try to come in to this day and that is what many people have been telling me because it also means that if the army soldiers to be trying to tackle a test they would be some are saying possible that bar mohamed el baradei the former head of the international atomic energy agency has accepted the post. prime minister and i see this is true he would be tasked with the next government be really military did say that it was going to appoint a prime minister and even when it announced that it accepted the resignation of its government then basically six leaves last night the cabinet which was appointed by the minute he stated he needed to see the coup what the people want to this is an

attempt to find a new teacher try and find a situation and to try and set the demands of people here people can see that it's something she would itself she believes people say that it doesn't matter what the government stepping down not the month he says we can see the armed forces now and has to step down because if they don't they are the ones that are starting charge now you can find he was even writing against the prophets who might back when he was actually to the police might be entering the united states much as the prophecy hearing that the army is going to listen to him all the time since as i said i'm not a feminist and that is confusion in and out of chaos at the stage and yes where. there is at the center of the egyptian resistance as we've just seen there. are a live updates on the unrest twenty four seventh's on her twitter page and her latest tweets to say that they've handed power to the military on

a silver platter and they shouldn't have left the streets of egypt in february just reading her tweets at the moment as i can see on my computer here and you can follow her twitter page for the quickest news from car and we are now seeing live pictures from the car at the moment here on r.t. . well earlier we spoke to dr ayman salama he's a professor of international law at current university and he told us that whoever heads the government will still follow the lead of the army. either going to the or someone else whatever would be in the. control this would be a government of salvation salvation government. that anyone. in the. cabinet god by focusing. word to actually see the commitments from the government from the first marcelo his

tongue power and his generals actually authorized them and. comprehensive authorities otherwise this would be similar to the what was called. the puppet government in the hands of the generals of the higher military council so the person is not the issue the issue is the how the the the the german the world's top by fellow muslims is going to actually reflect another shift in the management e.g. . russia has called the new american sanctions targeting iran's financial and energy sectors unacceptable and contradictory to international law moscow also on the line that such measures would hurt the chances of renewing talks with iran over its nuclear program that followed a decision by the u.k. and canada to cut all ties with iranian banks the measures are the result of the

latest u.n. atomic watchdog report that suggested tehran is building a bomb and something run strongly denies any sanctions targeting runs a main bank blacklist entity suspected of aiding iran's nuclear program you're a secular state hillary clinton warned that increasingly aggressive action against the country will continue and other governments to put pressure on terror and it's an analyst chris bambery has told me that he thinks this approach by the west resembles the lead up to the iraq invasion. yes this is a ramping up of the pressure on iran and we have seen israel being for an attack on. iran we've seen israel essentially a dummy read a little bit inside then you're right it's planes flying back into how it's supposed to test its capacity to launch an attack on iran and why need to agree to that i don't know we've seen israel launching and into convents of ballistic missile in recent weeks and we have this force at the moment i would israel sitting

in a conference this crossing 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 they do nothing about it pakistan is an unstable state with nuclear weapons and you know of course it has been an hour of britain america in in say diet's and i think people are asking what are britain america doing here they're marching to the drums of war once again calling weapons of mass destruction we've heard these queens before some ten years ago in relation to iraq sanctions were used in a rack to soften up the country in preparation for a military strike i would be very worried about that and to be honest i lawrence of britain and america planning for an attack around little britain as contingency plans to support an american based attack on iran is a frightening prospect. party live here in moscow within twenty four hours a day still ahead for you this our addiction to money russia lashes out at the us

for letting afghan poppies grow there's concern the opium business is simply too lucrative to destroy. much the first minutes on terra firma of the three space travelers who safely return to earth after six months in orbit. despite all efforts from e.u. politicians and newly appointed technocrats the sovereign debt crisis continues its march across the eurozone spain's boring costs have sought as investors showed little faith in the country's newly elected center right. government italy's mario monti is in brussels to convince european leaders his country's economy is back on track and his commitment to the single currency hold strong the greek prime minister lucas papademos was promised his country will receive an explainer tranche before the end of the year that's after he too may be used to technocrats and short and he was determined to implement all the cuts greece's creditors and on the surface been hearing the new leaders of crisis hit countries are still struggling to get the backing of their people the changing face of europe here in

democracy as the euro crisis continues to claim political heads and elected leaders have taken the reins and with greece and italy this government is formed. explosives. explicit task to do what europe's requires in new leaders have been holding close to a european counterparts have a dame a school that passed the foreign hate. others would call it impossible in trying to balance democracy with debt reduction it seems that now the last is one out of the problem is that there is no political parties store or maybe academics or other groups that have a concrete suggestions a term of the suggestion of the crisis in italy i speak with economists. about why when it comes to finding a solution to the crisis that people seem to be being left out of the equation but

we're seeing happening crisis has seemed to a lot of people very very confusing do you think this economic and political games is it's now time to take it back and get the decision to the people here this is a fact. it. happens raise suggestion of a referendum and it's followed by his sharp x. . eventually people are going to have to be asked what they want despite stronger as a wrestler alternative to being inside the year it's become increasingly clear that there is and always has been a choice about people were allowed to make one people are afraid and 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 this their demands are imposed by the government and the i.m.f. . was leaving the euro zone still remains an extremely unpopular prospect say to you is simply continuing along brussels park which until now has meant more stories he painful job cuts will bail outs solution all of which has led to growing station unrest threatens to undermine the whole concept of european unity. that's not all to talk to richard winnings from the institute of economic affairs joins me live in london all right after taking power in greece and italy the technocrats the financial experts as it were their first thought was process does that mean that all euro the citizens are being made there. well i think so and

obviously there's also germany's political elite is no hugely powerful because they actually hold the purse strings but are there any huge worry i mean are these reforms going to be successful if they can't carry the people with them we don't really have much of a democracy left in europe what about those reforms carrying the governments involved the eurozone governments. does it not ring the alarm bells for them that they're going to lose their sovereignty and lose their autonomy specially if we see fiscal control over their economies are we to see them rebelling in undermining the euro even more. there is a fair chance there will be some sort of rebellion hopefully a political one not anything worse but of course we could see a rebellion among the german people because the real losers from both fiscal integration so german taxpayers and german savers who if we do get fiscal integration will actually be bankrolling seven years of the perpetuity so they're the really big losers interesting talking about germany the chancellor angela

merkel she said the investor confidence can't be restored purely financially she's saying that europe needs a coherent political will surely some would say it's the politicians at fault here they're the ones who cause the insecurity with their indecision and lack of ability to handle the situation and that's why we're seeing the technocrats coming in to try and sort out the mess. well the irony is of course that many of these ten a crutch for the architects of the disastrous euro project in the first place so really it is pretty annoying that they're now in charge will be countries but the real problem of course is that the system itself is fundamentally flawed because it doesn't work how do you know a one size fits all motor policy of this huge geographical area and we don't have the safety belt like we have in the united states like labor mobility and allowing whole regions to decline after decades so really the system is flawed and the only long term solution is actually an orderly breakup floored there seems to be some sunshine on the way we just heard that the greek prime minister he's been promised

his country will receive the next tranche before the end of the year that's a good sign and it does that mean that athens can breathe a sigh of relief now well in the short term yes but although doing is playing pass the parcel with no actual long term solution to the crisis what about bond buying the european central bank it's been criticized for not buying up more government bonds just print more money and just limitlessly by help any debt it needs to well of course the problem is in those sort of situations if it's savers in the whole euro zone that then being ripped off by the money printing process if you look at history as well eventually when bank lending goes up to normal levels you will see a huge spike in inflation given current government that level is not clear how you see if you could actually reverse the process to choke off the inflation so being in the long term is a very dangerous strategy to stop printing money trying to look at these affected euro zone countries it's a joke to find i think positive at the moment isn't it uses coming from france it's

still retains its aaa credit score but the markets certainly aren't treating it in a positive way it's pouring costs are far too high at the moment well rising certainly that's alarming isn't it. it is and if you look at the prices of credit default swaps it is the jest of the true credit rating of france's them being like . that sort of ballpark so obviously the market is a huge a divorce between the markets and the credit rating agencies at the moment which is very worrying for france but what about spain is that slightly different picture we know that greece portugal and italy they're all accused of either being in heavily heavily in debt or just spending too much in the past but spain is a slightly different situation because actually its economy hasn't been that bad up until now has its is this a very worrying and different scenario development for spain well i think spain is probably more like ireland in the sense that had this enormous property boom a few years ago and so there were huge economic dislocations and. there's been some insurance intervention in these haven't been allowed to adjust i think the reserve

real danger with spain and i've been predicting probably spain for a long time just because its economy had this enormous unsustainable boom richard a final prediction just briefly for the euro zone itself. personally i think probably the e.c.b. will be leaned upon to monetize the debts and eventually this will prove to be disastrous but it will buy it in time for the next few years dr richard wellings was good to hear your thoughts thank you very much indeed joining us live there from the institute of economic affairs in london. but across the atlantic people continue express their anger against corporations and politicians all the latest from the occupy wall street protests is that ati dot com at least twenty six journalists are being rounded up across the country they claim to be handcuffed thrown onto the ground and pepper spray and a direct threat to press freedom in america. also can find out how russia's communists are using kalashnikov rifles to win the country's parliamentary elections and why it's drawing the anger of the designer of the iconic weapon all

the details on that and plenty of other stories at r.t. dot com. america's approach to tackling the flow of illegal drugs from afghanistan is misguided this criticism from russia's anti-drug chief who believes a complete eradication of poppy fields is the only solution a position not currently shared by the u.s. how will this reluctance now has some asking if the deadly business is proving simply too lucrative to destroy what he's going to turn at this report. these harmless looking afghan puppies have caused millions of deaths worldwide and russian the u.s. have teamed up to crack down on corrupt 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 is that metaphorically speaking instead of destroying the machine gun nest they suggest catching bullets flying from the machine gun we suggest eradicating our kartik plants 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 the issue of americans come up with the us together with the 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 or kardex have nearly as much air in the total world trade as oil and gas the head of russia's drug enforcement suggest that u.s. and european banks tacitly welcome and encourage the inflow of drug money and that is progress 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 us audience

to the russian proposal to stop the banks from laundering drug money we can hear during their currencies tons of narcotics so we can make arrests of traffickers but we really need to choke off the farm supply this there was also a sense of doubt whether western authorities can actually take on those very powerful financial institutions i think u.s. and other nato countries are obviously not in for the idea. are radically heating up their parking field altogether besides international banks into might be huge inflow of dirty money but experts say that this squad would leave two millions more dying in the future which could be prevented i'm going to kick down reporting from watching our team. tom that are some other world news in brief this hour the international criminal court says colonel gadhafi son arrested in libya this weekend can be tried in a country with the hague judges must be involved saif al islam is wanted for alleged war crimes by the i.c.c.

down in a step in kazakstan for our volkov and mike fossum has been up on the international space station for six months conducting maintenance and experiments he also had a tense time up there in august of progress flying module crashed on the way up to the i assessed bringing supplies and that raised many questions over the reliability of the soyuz vehicle all launches were suspended for a while so the crew that was supposed to come up to join them had to be delayed they had to send down videos explaining the handover process but that's gone ok the new crew is now installed up there and mike fossum so totally full of uncertain evolved for now back safely on earth after their stay in space. a success story there from marty's tom barton well the russian space program may soon turn in a new direction the federal space agency says the moon could be its next destination

that's if the current mission to the satellite photos fails russian space agency has not given up hope of completing that mission but admits that the chances and slim the spacecraft failed to reach its intended orbit after its launch two weeks ago the probe was meant to obtain soil samples from the planet's moon phobos the space agency says if the mission does fail the big three of the space craft could fall on earth between the end of the symbol and february but the chances of it actually hitting someone close to zero. brings up that moment with some of our menu stories about five minutes from now in the meantime business is next with kareen stay with us for that. we welcome to our business update the software for joining me. wrapping up their long lasting just ahead of us newspapers cite sources close to talks saying moscow will finally cut price and hop from starting next year that means better pay around one hundred fifty dollars or one thousand cubic meters because he has long been
