egyptian protests now entered a second week amid the military for a last ditch attempt to meet protesters demand from cairo in just a few moments. the two sides of the crisis as americans are lined up at the stores for i know black friday bargain hunt queues are also at record levels elsewhere at the homeless shelters and food stations. it's a classic tale of riches to rags american once stood for governor when the people who love the new crane end up homeless.

international news and comment twenty four hours a day this is r.t. egypt's a newly appointed prime minister has appealed to the nation to give him a chance to form a tablets that will be accepted by everyone. you government will be named after sunday's parliamentary election that says crowds on cairo's tahrir square continue to keep up the pressure on the ruling generals are demanding an immediate switch to civilian rule. joins us live now for more on the. poor the leadership there is feeding people with promises of a better future good appears to be failing to deal with their demands does that all point to further unrest do you think. it's very difficult to say exactly how the next few days and weeks will pan out here in egypt certainly the situation at the moment here in turkey square is calm as i move to the side and we move our camera

in you can see that it's still early here people are only beginning to wake up now but we're not witnessing anywhere near the same kind of numbers that we saw out here in tahrir square last night the situation here it certainly is a lot more calmer than it has been for some time although we are receiving reports now of fresh clashes that have broken out in alexandria a short time ago there were also some ambulances here in the square but the mood and the same i get from talking to protesters is that this momentum is going to be difficult to keep up indeed some of the protest leaders i've been talking to say that they think coming next week the movement here will begin to fizzle out and that is despite the fact that protesters say they will remain in talking square until be on the streets down the next flashpoint could be monday's parliamentary elections and while the majority of people here interfere so there will not be voting need to remember that there are still hundreds of thousands hundreds of millions of thousands of people outside of cairo who say they will be voting at

this stage again it's also very difficult to gauge what kind of support the military has there are people i've been talking to who say it needs to be given a chance to spatially with the kind of reforms it has announced the army saying that it will elect a president by makes through june now the voting is going to be over two days and this is to enable as many people as possible to come forward and cast their ballots at the same time it is expected that the muslim brotherhood will win the majority of the vote and this is despite facts that the muslim brotherhood has lost popularity of the last few days we need to remember that the brotherhood was one of the main organizations that instigated the protests back in january but it has largely kept away from these demonstrations causing critics to say that it's much more interested in winning at the polls and it is. representing the will of the people here but certainly the situation here is incredibly unstable yesterday friday we saw thousands of people telling us in support of the army they held

a counter revolutionary protest and while their numbers were nowhere near what we've seen attack this way they do indicate that the situation is not as predictable as one might have fooled. paula you were in the g eight during the original revolt against president barack and have been covering this latest trouble for sober last week how safe is the country feel right now. well the country so he doesn't feel safe least least of all here in downtown cairo i can tell you that you meet the last few days there have been three female journalists who have been sick she assaulted one and egyptian american writer another a french journalist and also an egypt blogger and certainly i have felt walking around the square over the last week the situation becoming increasingly carious the. documents depending where you are in the square the some parts of the square that have almost jovial atmosphere with people are selling souvenirs and food and

families are coming with their children and then as you get closer to the front line where you have mohammed nothing was free and that has been the scene of the fiercest clashes this past week so today the situation becomes dangerous but by and large it's under control not launch due to a seven foot war that the security forces have built but this has triggered some here in tokyo switched to quartz hi-lo. a question that the security would have to answer in the coming weeks is is allegations of the type of tear gas that they used we understand from human rights groups and from the testers themselves who have experienced the worst of it that it is a toxic substance suspiciously forced to be banded international circles let's have a listen. and there was so much there was and there was the a different type of gas that was creating what they call the chemical pneumonia that was very very difficult to treat and of black people have died from it and the police are telling the families of very poor families whose kids have been killed

you can pick up the bodies but we're not going to give you a certificate of death to try to to hide what really is going on. but if the tone of the moment stands at forty one or both we are hearing from some doctors that they've been under pressure to cut those figures that the numbers are much higher but they haven't come forward and actually admitted that this is a game causes me to ask the question whether or not the revolution back in kenya anything and not only the revolution the so-called revolution in egypt but in fact where the revolutions that have happened elsewhere in the arab world have let them along to the full the promises that they gave to the people. almost a year after mubarak's fall her rear spoiler is again stained with blood there's no you it's about the dignity of egyptian people we don't want any more humiliation. here is another revolution seen libya the ousted leader former khadafi was killed

last month the people of libya are now left with a country in ruins and the government they didn't truths i think there is a reign of terror going on against those who disagree with the libyan government it's not presented that way in the western media but it is a reign of terror if you speak up right now against the new authorities in libya you're likely to go to jail or be executed or disappear in the meantime interim government brought to power by nato is strengthening kids in the country nato and some arab states now openly call for regime change in syria the louder the call the more violent the opposition becomes oh it looks that it's western countries in the capitals of some countries in the region are openly recommending opposition to not hold talks with the assad regime it looks like political probation on an international scale civil war is brewing in syria the whole region seems to be

plunging deeper into crisis. while people suffer in the continuing wave of violence in the middle east and north africa. some analysts say certain cowards might be interested in keeping the trouble boiling there are certain powerful interests outside of the middle east who wants to bring chaos as a rule in scenario discontent and chaos in order that it long term will be militarized directly by nato and that the oil resources of these oil rich countries by and large can be directly put under private hands it looks like the so-called transition to democracy in the wake of the arab spring is not going to well more blood is being shared we're looking at an arab winter and maybe a new era of spring around the corner as tensions wives and certain global powers are pushing for regime change in more countries of the region the reagan friend who faced running through an ocean of chaos and then a check our reporting from washington our team. and the arab league ultimatum to

syria and foreign observers or face sanctions has come and gone with the rebels and government troops continuing to fight a nationwide illegal war now discussed new measures including a suspension of flights to syria as well as crippling restrictions on its central bank intention is to force rebel leaders and the governments of france and russia. table neither side is showing any willingness to make concessions plans a series of peaceful protests now turning to. syria. some say that pressure from outside the country is a situation where as. the arab league called an emergency meeting in cairo to discuss syria meanwhile real reformers genuine egyptian citizens are getting their heads cracked open by the military police in egypt which is u.s. backed so the arab spring is a joke for the people of egypt and if you want any indication as to what syria might look like after the west is done with their proxy wars using their proxy

rebels and maybe a bombing campaign look at libya they're flying the al qaeda flag over the government build. so if the if if the western powers think that they're going to get away with a no fly zone in syria this is a very different prospect than libya the strategy now is to weaken syria internally by using mercenary forces al qaeda forces which were used in libya and also in afghanistan to bring them into base in turkey come over the border for incursions these humanitarian zones that the french are talking about are not humanitarian corridors these are paramilitary corduroys they will be used to move much like the egyptian military government facilitated the movement of arms over the egyptian border into libya which was a direct contravention of the u.n. resolution one thousand nine hundred seventy three so the u.n. is losing all credibility here as well here with r.t.

and straight ahead on the program revealing the mysteries of the red planet. and its traces of life on mars are being revived with this next mission cutting edge russian to fight us. in america when. we have the money and. people in the u.s. well why bites of the table financial some are still finding it hard to justify without credit. he was an inventor who once ran for high office in his home that american dad went to crane love around and destitution and homeless with money of contacting friends and family back home teens takes up the story of a for an adventure. social services in western ukraine were very surprised at encountering this homeless man. he looked exactly like

a typical local bum i asked him what he was doing and he replied in english but no regular down and now it was he the homeless man turned out to be a us citizen carried a lego scientist and politician last year he even ran for the governor supposed in arizona but failed he came to ukraine on a scientific exchange mission which quickly merged into a white front though lego got in touch with the ukrainian woman yulia when invited him over to chad enough so you you'll use that she is definitely working looking for a marriage partner purdy's true the rest was like a bad dream it was and sure enough see that the lego learned that all his credit cards were blocked after his cell phone and laptop chargers were stolen no money no connection with the outside world and most importantly no yulia a long way from home and love the american slept rough at the train station until

she was found by local social services very seriously ill and he's now doing well but that's a fantastic treatment for was a very serious case and iranian. the u.s. embassy in kiev came to the lego's rescue and bought train and plane tickets to get him home after more than a week in western ukraine the troubled american arrived in kiev alone as yulia has snubbed him that she arrived she comes to your do you did she actually we met she called me once i missed the call she called me. just to see all of the e-mail. messages going to come by next. year we showed up and i miss eunice and you know how was it for you psychologically your former candidate a set of the candidates and now you find yourself in the middle. of nowhere being basically a holborn the train station floats. through tauriel candidate i was look what's happened in washington that it's prime minister book will speak on her since she

left office you know what i see there it is these kind of things happen to people even the run for office if you know it's there what i mean to them you know despite a genuine tom sawyer style adventure in ukraine delayed will says he has fallen in love with the country and will definitely return next spring whether that's visit would be purely scientific or mixed with the personal his still has not yet made up his mind. lexie rush of ski odyssey reporting from ukraine. extraordinary story there from ukraine and there's more from that country on our website at r.t. dot com to find out why nuclear waste land that chernobyl that's when attracting tourists from around the world is now officially closed to visitors why some problem happening. also on life boats a country faces a legal challenge that terror suspect who's never been charged files a lawsuit saying there's a secret cia prison there that war on the website r.t.

the. journey the length of life. the desire for the best of things. under that drowns out our inner world. the story of one man who returns whom after years of alienation. media moms why pass on r.g.p. . magine has a match that the phone. but you show every single mom. and waiting for you just come along. my son man with

a video camera so i moved over and he phoned me some of. you know we realized there were following everyone from early in the morning. the only chance to get rid of him. is to reveal him to. me devil operation on archie. would be so much brighter if you remove a bad song from feinstein the question is. who's

trying to start on t.v. dot com. it's a holiday season in america with millions they're looking to lose themselves in the passions of a shopping spree for many it's a chance to hold on to an all star that's quickly becoming a rarity thanks to the ongoing financial crisis tearing through the world's biggest economies but for others queuing has become a matter of survival and it's going to expense. i lost my house my business and now i'm just kind of surviving it's difficult for lisa jones to plan beyond tomorrow she struggles to make it through the day the mother of three worries about her oldest son but in the war in afghanistan and she's among them. millions of americans who go hungry every day this is a family you see the elderly you see pregnant women you see people with polio and

see people with bad beatings you see people have dying well eager shoppers camped out in front of retail stores on black friday joan sleeps on the cold pavement waiting in a different line put free turkey i used to be a dog groomer i used to have my own shopping now i do not i'm in desperate straits so this is a godsend this is my first year here just in bartholomew joined the army after losing his job in the financial industry he can see that even members of the armed services are fighting an economic battle at home. for the soldiers that. keep. remembering. goes deeper than this. this year even the organizers of the give away needed a helping hand and probably never had to go on t.v. to ask for any donations of things like this but you know sometimes god makes to do

that. by sunrise the line grew as far as the eye could see this a microcosm of a hungry nation divided by the haves and have nots we haven't spent enough time on job creation all of this wesley about whether or not the bridges got to pay their fair share is ridiculous the rich pay fair share government figures show that los angeles is still the worst place in america when it comes to food insecurity and these long lines for a free turkey giveaway may be an indicator of that but throughout the nation it remains a large problem with forty nine million americans struggling to feed themselves on a daily basis sixteen million of those are children it's amazing actually to so many people in the same fifteen hours later in freezing temperatures in a row. rollercoaster of emotions jones can smile again knowing chill feed her family this holiday season it just brings out the rest of the rest of their.

christmas is this is a godsend a los angeles valley no party so the global financial roller coaster has made millions of people around the world tighten their belts. half an ist asked people on the streets of new york just how much of a hit their habits have taken. tis the season and once again this lousy economy affect your holidays this week let's talk about that in a moment it's ok not so much effected. as to spend a lot of money for other european countries. so that's an effect i personally don't feel personally you can enjoy your holidays and shop in portugal is a little trouble there with the money do you think people will have less shopping

and different holidays. to me i mean of all of those i'm from brazil so economies are helping me there with their housing how they go to travel you know i'm from brazil is a developing country. personally i don't it hasn't affected me too much i'm a real budget or so has my income went down i just changed my budget so for me it hasn't been a huge problem is it just that the world is bad at budgeting i believe the world or america is very bad at budgeting you're not personally affected. with that comfortable. clothes. you can buy anything apartment or something but i think some people are not affected but i'm sure some people are affected and so the countries like we're from singapore a i've got friends it's hard to find jobs and stuff like that but for us relief

overseas so you know as suspected as the ones that. are you scared that it's going to start affecting thing and poor mark. but until then you're shopping that's. going to keep their you know their finances under control this year i know i am so do you feel like that's a good or bad thing. sometimes it could be excess which has been in the past i think it may be it may work for the best people. you could give a little less and still have the same meaning to christmas i think it's a great big it's almost like that's what got the economy into a bad place people spending money they didn't have right. in america were trying to buy whether we have the money or not whether or not your how it is will be affected by the economy does the the bottom line about how it isn't supposed to be about money so maybe cutting back this year will be

a good thing. because some more news out from around the world this hour german police have used water cannons to disperse antinuclear activists and city events in the protests were targeted against the arrival of the train carrying processed waste from police also removed activists staging a sit down protest on the tracks as the train order. its first nuclear shipment to pass through to instant decision to shut down one of. twenty twenty. in southern chile two police officers were hospitalized for violent clash with different interests. the construction of the airport blocked a highway with barricades. and saying rifles police used tear gas to disperse the crowds were dismantled.

some amazing pictures from switzerland where jet rossi gave this incredible line display using a tailor made path. if you see that from a helicopter before the series of acrobatics about alps and then joined to get planes in the synchronized flight also his previous aerial feats include flying in this channel and looping the loop around a hot air balloon. but even the higher than the jet magazine nasa scientists were dead set on discovering traces of life on mars it's estimation that it is going to take off within hours carrying a huge array of high tech tools and crucial to its success as a cutting edge waterpark built by a russian scientist or to his diet which has been to be the people behind the

device. the source of wild flights of imagination and of scientific speculation for centuries the red planet getting there has never been easy and emissions have failed but hopes are high for this new rover it's called curiosity and it's two on mars next year the science laboratory on board should answer many questions first and foremost if there's going to be life on the red planet. one of the greatest mysteries of mars is that it surfaces streets with rivers and streams almost everyone agrees the early march was. with rivers lakes and rains there was a theory that order evaporated together with the martian atmosphere we seem to have discovered it may have sunk inside the planet in the form of permafrost or. for this mission the russian scientists have created a unique device that will point the rover to places where water might have accumulated whether it's in ice or encased in underground minerals as imagined in

the blockbuster sayf i total recall. and here it is this ordinary case conceals the dynamic all the go of neutrons or simply down to its friends. it weighs no more than two packs of sugar and may not be much to look at but in fact it's an impressive piece of high tech hardware but the hardest thing imaginable is that this has been downscaled crumpets based on borehole equipment used to find the one meter long neutral generator has been turned into a small light and compact one. this is the heart of the device this tiny chip produces neutrons capable of penetrating up to one meter below the surface and that's there with the challenge was to accommodate advise on board a spacecraft we were not only limited in weight but also how to enjoy all the

hardships of interplanetary flight and now need them second half a hydrogen detector which will act as the probes act whenever gator. so the. rover is like a small car and our devices placed on it like headlights so the balsam generator shoots newtons go into the ground under a flick with a frozen water is there and then we measure without a director and the rover comes fully loaded seventeen high definition cameras aluminum wheels that can distill it independently and mount a laser to the prize rock and a robotic arm to drill and scoop up samples among other instruments under the hood and you can see a coward engine to give it a top crawling speed of five centimeters per second with this ass now once the dan device shows the right spot the love will start its meticulous work and then kind will hold its breath for one of the most elusive answers in space exploration area
