egypt's military rulers say they're sorry for the deaths of almost forty demonstrators killed in the worst clashes since february as revolts thousands defiantly remain on talk where square with public anger showing no signs of easing despite the general's apology. gearing up for another night after. demanding that the minute he step down from cairo in just a few moments. arab foreign ministers are also in egypt but it's syria that's on their agenda as they threaten damascus with sanctions while france opposes what it calls a humanitarian intervention. and no plans to stop the reset of ties but

moscow says it will pull out of the nuclear disarmament treaty and place rockets on its borders if the u.s. goes ahead with its missile defense shield in europe a. very warm welcome to you and karen taraji joining us live from the heart of moscow fresh clashes between security forces and protesters erupt in cairo's tahrir square the focal point of egypt's revolutionary opposition the country's military has apologized for the deaths of nearly forty protestors over several days of violent clashes with security forces however thousands on talk here square say they're not satisfied and plan to boycott next week's parliamentary elections mostly or has more from cairo. well people certainly are not going anywhere in addition to that

we're now hearing reports that fresh clashes have broken out there's been gunshots explosions and ambulances rushing past the past few minutes now the chant of the tens of thousands behind me is the same that it has been for the past six straight days we once the field marshal gone people here are screaming the field-marshal of course being one hundred ton tali the fate of the supreme council of the armed forces now earlier today thursday the military made with a full make egypt's prime minister come out our guns only and initial reports are that comes only has accepted the post of prime minister not yet able to independently verify that but certainly if it is true his hands will be full with film in a new government before monday's parliamentary elections now guns only is a popular figure among egyptian people he was the prime minister from ninety ninety six to ninety ninety nine but he is also very closely associated with the mubarak

era of course he was prime minister when mubarak was president and for that reason people here will not support his appointment but in addition to that people say it doesn't really matter who is going to be the new prime minister and who will make up the new government they want the military to step down and certainly when the roosters first started filtering through advances at one point people here just started chanting louder that they want to go now a nother concern at amongst protesters here is what exactly is the kind of tear gas that the security question i'll have been using and we're not hearing from egyptian media much the same that we've been reporting earlier that the tear gas was a burning in the lungs the liver and the heart with many people there saying that they picked up gas canisters that it's fired more than five years ago many people saying that this is a crime against humanity earlier today thursday the military for many apologized for the deaths. of protesters they say that they would receive this and their five

a week and they would have released all the people who have been detained at the same time the ministry we committed ourselves to holding quality into elections on monday that most people care so treat the majority of those that i have been speaking to asking the teach my students number one how can an election go ahead with this kind of violence on the ground and number two what kind of that just in the city will these parliamentary elections have the irony of the situation is that while the arab league was meeting here in tyler the first topic on discussion was the violence that was unfolding around them and the words that people have been using are double standards and tough you see the focus of the arab league nice change was what is happening at the moment in syria and they have not given damascus a good night until one o'clock local time tomorrow and five days to respond positively to their proposal to send some five hundred of the servers to monitor how the government is dealing with and see government protesters now we have no indication

at this stage from the masses how they will respond we have heard from the iraqi foreign minister who says that the mass has more respond positively but if he bade jones the arab league will need to gain on sunday and then they will begin the process of voting for sanctions and one they've been on has indicated it will not vote transitively the signs are that the majority of the arab league foreign ministers in fact will give a nod now these sanctions include things like a ban on the travel of syrian officials names to things like no more commercial flights to the country a halt to dealings with the central bank and also no more government to government trade the purpose of these sanctions is not to stop the violence that would be impossible for the father to put pressure on the assad regime but again people saying that this is a double standard and how can the arab league meeting cairo and not deal with the situation you see behind me although there are tens of thousands of people here in

turkey. at the moment the focus now is on friday there has been and not a pool for a million man march through friday being the traditional day when millions if not hundreds and thousands of people gather to voice make this content with a government it does seem likely that if there's ever going to be a moment when a million egyptians take to the streets it could be this friday. all the arab league discusses sanctions against syria after months of violence and three thousand five hundred civilian deaths france has become the first western country to suggest intervention in paris proposes to establish so-called humanitarian corridors in syria to get aid to areas under attack from state forces like the pretext under which libyan no fly zone was established professor paul sheldon foote from california state university says french president sarkozy is being driven by the need to deflect attention from his domestic problems as he prepares to run for re-election next year. circles are certainly news a distraction from the economic disaster that is facing france is looking forward

to downgrades in its debt very soon the european major recessions are going to be he was to stay in power and you need something to destroy this directly people so they get from point a to both they're going to conditions for its own fortunately terrorists is a long history. terrorist groups you know their religion and groups for example the iranian problem is what they do they call it kind of these terrorists are a good word to embarrass whatever groups want to form some place person has been a great historical pleased to be protected by france. any round of violence has flared up on the calls of all serbia border with nato troops using tear gas whilst amelle and dismantling barricades put up by local serbs opposed to border checkpoints their representatives claim that the nato command in the breakaway province has broken agreements with them after promising on line saying not to take unilateral action troops in riot gear attempted to remove concrete barriers and put

up a barbed wire fence to restore control of the area belgrade has condemned the nato move on urged the peacekeepers to act according to the un mandate to protect civilians but political analyst nicole out of town last week says nato forces in kosovo pay for can't fulfill this mission and that's why local serbs stay at the barricades. there is no doubt that nato has a legitimate presence in the whole of cost of all it's not a problem of whether they should be there and not a problem that they are the ones that are the only legitimate force that we should act upon such a situation but the problem is that they are exceeding their limits and they are exceeding their authority nobody wants to sit all night at some barricade and. nobody has something better to do the problem is that people are really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from your brain inside there are there are people getting shot there are all sorts of pressure and there is a great number of people especially from being inside and some of their supporters

. both in europe and even in serbia which are constantly threatening with the so-called croatians scenario and that is the worst thing that could happen. coming up later in the program leaders of the three biggest e.u. economies meet in strasbourg trying to come up with a remedy for the raging euro debt crisis but there's a yet more division as they're split over whether the european central bank bank should play. moscow says that it's not planning to hold the reset of ties with washington but is ready to pull out of the nuclear arms reduction treaty if the u.s. goes ahead with its defense shield plans in europe washington says it will not review its program despite russia warning that it could move its own offensive missile systems to its borders and response artie's an isa now explains. person's reaction to the active development of plans for this missile defense shield in eastern europe came in the form of an announcement from president stages

where he highlighted five steps that the russian federation would take if the u.s. and nato don't reconsider their plans first of all activated immediately will be early radar warning stations in kaliningrad which is russia's most western enclave the country's nuclear strategic forces will be strengthened significantly he pointed out that this needs to happen folks urgently are the country's strategic missiles will be fitted with advanced kind of tracing systems and latest generation warheads and he's also notify the armed forces that a system needs to be developed that could destroy data exchange in the control systems of this planned missile defense shield if these steps are not enough the president pointed out that this would be russia's last resort. just to each other measures are insufficient russia will deploy a contemporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from us missile systems deployed in europe the system the deployment of us going to missile systems in accounting will be one such step if the situation

develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to seize further steps and here we have additional amount and arms control over an extra could link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge from russia's strategic arms reduction treaty against the focus isn't vision within the content of the treaty the president pointed out once again emphasizing that he believes dialogue is the way to go and that cooperation is still possible it's not too late but promises are just not going to be enough russia needs legally binding agreements from nato and the us that these systems are not meant as a deterrent against that from the past a lot of the same rhetoric that russia has been listening to for years again that this system is meant aimed against so-called rogue states like iran and north korea that it's not anyway thanks again. russia that they do believe that russia and the west have separate systems from the representatives from the national security council we've heard that cooperation again they praise president medvedev statement

about further cooperation but also pointed out this is very important that they will continue to cooperate with that pursuit of cooperation will in no way be limited or changed or changed the plans for missile defense shield and then from secretary general rouse and sort of nato we heard again praise for the statement on dialogue and cooperation but you say that he is disappointed by president rate of statement but it's not in the spirit of russia nato cooperation but again if you look at a map you will see very clearly that nato is rapidly expanding eastwards on russia's was a eastwards on russia's western border you have the united states and their bases all throughout the middle east and then up russia's eastern seaboard you have bases in japan and south korea to basically russia is being surrounded and it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a major concern for their national security and we want to know how you think russians warnings over america's missile shield plans will play out and head over

to our web site r t v dot com and cast your vote. most of you believe they could trigger a new arms race opinion is split between those who think the pentagon's only speeding up deployment and those who say russia's objections will lead to europe saying no to the u.s. while the rest of you think washington will compromise and agree to moscow's demands and cast your vote at r.t. dot com. as the euro zone's debt levels continue to hold high france and germany say they will propose changing either treaties to improve financial governance in the region president sarkozy and chancellor merkel have been talking in strasburg or their meeting in the newly appointed italian premier. the leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to the single currency about paris and berlin disagree on whether the european central bank should ranty euro zone states in trouble the idea of collective borrowing also remains a divisive issue trampin by technocrats and france are strongly opposed by the region's economic powerhouse germany supporters of the idea say it would help raise

much needed capital for the debt ridden nations but marilyn is opposed as its borrowing costs would rise investment advisor patrick young says the eurozone someone to be able to make exactly executive decisions not. the problem is first of all to go back to what we always keep hammering on the boy we really need leadership mr barroso is trying to push forward this idea of euro bonds amongst others alternately also germany either has to decide that it wants to be sickly take away the goal and through a lot of other members of the euro zone club because they view them as not being worthy of being membership or they're going to have to essentially bite their tongue and they're going to have to come forward and do something with the marketplace and in some way find a solution the problem we have is you know euro bones we were talking about those a year ago fifteen months ago but the difficulty has been all along the lack of political leadership and right now if there is definitely

a pope will smell of fear in brussels over what's going on when you're in the euro parliament in the coffee shops the huddled corners or discussions of whether the euro wiese going to survive in any shape or form and hopefully that's going to be a catalyst to see an oil rig of leadership and break of government and we will find a solution whether it's a collective euro bond or some other form of transfer that at least gets the market working again on the laws countries to borrow this crisis is like a pound demick of financial panic nobody really feel you see it in the euro zone and that's why germany must come i do believe a euro bond is basically a case of putting lipstick on the pigs quite literally. in every possible sense and of course the other countries are currently shocked at the boring market or very expensive rates want to be part of a club where hopefully they will be able to borrow money i will be able to borrow it much much more cheaply than they can get it in their own right one of those

countries worst hit by the crisis portugal has received a vote of no confidence from ratings giant fitch as liz bond's credit score was reduced to junk status which cited high debt levels and low growth despite a seventy billion euro bailout earlier this year this comes as the country has ground to a halt over a twenty four hour strike workers have walked out of their jobs angry at the deep cuts that the government has imposed to balance the books air traffic controllers joined a protesting ranks effectively grounding all flights in and out of this once international airport and as our teaser reports more and more desperate portuguese are now seeking a better life abroad. now expand readers ready to go leave your home which has probably never been easier critical because why stay in portugal when we know that architects with five years' experience are paid just eight hundred euro's a month is a question a lot of young specialists have been asking themselves legally and surprising

answer may be to leave portugal's former colonies like brazil over in good discipline for one dollar has been rather stable they had their national truth and then a massive record in the reconstruction process began so there are a lot of opportunities for construction companies especially and a lot of these sort of construction companies went there and they're apparently they're very active and go maybe you know or something but many portuguese are starting to do it at least in the present day. an african country rich in diamonds an oil resources presents an appetizer an opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home from them going to who ever i tell a moving abroad invariably says brilliant can you get my job two friends even asked me to take their c.v. . according to some reports that ninety thousand forgeries are currently in poor compared with just ten thousand in two thousand to somebody for their income but most are simply looking for something something better than the ever worsening

situation called recently i think salaries unfortunately are knox the main reason and the main reason is the lack of opportunities in the portuguese market due to the well to the prizes the mass exodus of portugal's young smart educated may pretend the end of an era for the country a lot of specialized people we have hired a creation scientists brain drain as if you can call it that to go and work live abroad and study abroad and there's just stay there and which of course will most likely never recover those human assets and. the hardly if. it is a huge word for a decent salary. if you're flying if you go she was. bent over at r t dot com for more on the debt crisis marching through the eurozone but across the atlantic the u.s. has apparently found an unconventional way to save its own currency. that's what

some say could be behind the recent threats of a strike against iran's nuclear sites more on that story all mine and also there. we explore some of the possible reasons behind the failure of russia's interplanetary program phobics grant among the suggestions is interference from an american research station in the alaska. let's now check out some other international news a triple bombing at a busy market in the iraqi city of basra has killed at least nineteen and left dozens injured police say two bombs had been in a motorbike exploded one after the other and a third was detonated after people were gathered at the scene most of the victims are said to be police officers and military personnel they are said to have been several deadly attacks in iraq in the last month with u.s. troops scheduled to complete their pullout by the end of this year. bloodshed continues in yemen a day after the president announced his resignation at least five people are

reported killed after crowds demanding the former leader be put on trial were fired on by supporters of the regime. agreed to transfer power to his deputy in exchange for immunity from prosecution months of protests and a brutal crackdown by government forces in yemen have left almost nine hundred people. leaders of the main palestinian factions fatah and hamas have agreed to hold elections in may of two thousand and twelve they also say they've decided to try to bridge their differences on the positions towards israel both groups which respectively control the west bank and the gaza strip have long been political rivals last may they were. an agreement calling for the setting up of an interim unity government and merging rival security forces israel threatens to cut all ties with the palestinian authority if it includes hamas in any unity government. and interplay libya's transitional government has formally been sworn in the twenty four ministers will now stay in power until elections in june next

year they are said to be i'll keep an optimistic but only face opposition on wednesday several tribes who refuse to recognize the new government and there been clashes between loyalists to the form of either moammar gadhafi and government troops in the city of by me walid leaving seven dead. and that's all from me at the moment i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in about ten minutes time next up archie talks to philip j. crowley former u.s. state department spokesman about the challenges that lie ahead for the people in countries where regimes have recently been toppled stay with us.

and your times in the state department just how hard it was to explain to the people that the us brings peace and democracy with its interventions as in and reality has destruction. but you know i believe earnestly in the best of intentions of u.s. policy a stable peaceful prosperous middle east is in everyone's interest there's no question that the united states with the best of intentions intervened in iraq in two thousand and three we were out really understanding not only what was going to happen inside iraq we thought it would be easy inexpensive quick and those

judgments were all profoundly wrong. understanding that that even in the intervention one of the big winners for some time was iran and a resurgent iran had implications within the gulf and across the broader region certainly was not something that united states wanted to see happen and how severely the u.s. economic problems and their mind its ability to protect its power globally well you you project power in support of your national and international interests which includes. the economy so so this is this is where it's easy for someone who's running for president to say i am let's let's strike iran it's harder to then understand across the board will a military strike be successful. it's very difficult to see how a military strike it might retard an iranian nuclear program it is not likely to

stop and. you also will a military strike. would that. increase the tension and fish were said to exist within a. iranian society between the regime and the people who don't like the regime very much and what actually will drive you know the them closer together so you really have to look at this in a truly strategic way and that's why for the moment cooler heads recognize that the answer is political and economic pressure while leaving the military option there are as an option but recognizing that that comes with very profound costs what are the prospects that this military i mean everyone recognizes the danger of iran going nuclear and it's not just about iran if iran crosses the threshold in the absolutely weapons how does that change calculations by saudi

arabia and turkey and egypt someone else do they. feel they have to have their own weapon you know everyone recognizes the last thing that you need in the region has a nuclear arms race we not withstanding the emergence of a park or stone or a north korea you've got many many countries around the world who know how to build a weapon of chosen not that that is the optimal you know stabilizing situation do you think the u.s. is robust enough to climatically and economically to manage the consequences of the turmoil in the arab states that's largely responsible for i don't think you can say that anyone today is managing what is a remarkable transition but these these transitions are evolving in very different ways you know country by country by country so do you think that the world should be concerned up the. islamic extremists coming to

power in the so-called arab spring well i think that's that is a that is a longer term danger in the short term. these you know take take egypt for example there is an open process underway. a group like the muslim brotherhood that has a of a long tradition within egypt in it and a pretty good political and social structure and those that are going out of the world will likely do very well in the in the upcoming parliamentary elections. i think what's very important is people in the region have to be patient if people become impatient and then become violent yes there are put is the potential that spoilers including a resurgence of al qaeda a lot of talk about. being part of the. uprising the revolution whatever you want to call it and leave you will see i do think that libya has the ingredients to be

successful even under khadafi it was a it was a society that was. being sort of. the real question is can everyone come together and see that and that's been given legitimacy to walk down there have been elements there have been individuals and small groups associated with al qaida that have you know that are in libya or have emanated from libya there's there's a very definite libyan strain to al qaeda. but but as an organized force i don't i don't necessarily use but there is but obviously al qaida in the magreb is there could they try to take advantage of of a failure in the transition in libya absolutely could absolutely could.
