nato helicopters strike those up to twenty eight pakistani soldiers in an army checkpoint with islamic bad blows an allied supply route to afghanistan in response . to new clashes erupt in egypt in capital crowds of anti army protesters vowed to stick to their demands for change despite the leadership's reluctance to make the sessions. two sides of it crisis as americans line up for the annual black friday bargain hunt lines also whether record levels elsewhere at homeless shelters include stations. and tell of the riches to rags how one american

who once ran for governor went looking for love again ukraine and ended up homeless . three pm in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story the nato air strike at an army checkpoint in northwest pakistan has killed up to twenty eight soldiers according to the country's ministry military officials in response islamic bad has now been blocked the alliance is a vital supply lines into afghanistan are south asia correspondent priya sridhar has. according to the pockets the many military nato helicopters actually attacked a military checkpoint on the pocket afghan border and now in response this incident actually ask elated pretty quickly and the pakistani military actually shut down that checkpoint which is the shortest checkpoint between pakistan and afghanistan so now all this supplies that were meant for nato forces in afghanistan are not

able to get over the border and now nato helicopters are often in this region performing missions against militancy and the taliban in this region pocket son is a very strategic ally to the united states in the quote unquote war on terror oftentimes the country in the tribal regions of the taliban will take refuge in that area and will train in that area so washington has for years relied on islam to really crack down on that area pockets money military also called this a tap quote unquote unprovoked and indiscriminate nato has acknowledged that there was an incident today but they aren't saying any more than that they're investigating it and the pocket money ambassador to the united states has obviously spoken out against this attack and said that there are too many attacks that are happening by the united states on talk is that any territory obviously the purpose

of these missions these unmanned drone strikes is to attack militants across the border but many times they've killed several civilians so the pakistani army chief just last month said that the united states should really focus on stable out stabilizing afghanistan and worry less about pockets on trying to attack these militants on the border they think that the united states time would be better spent focusing on stabilize it stabilizing afghanistan but everyone sort of watching what the repercussions of this incident today will be for the region. grrr issue from the lobbying group pac national is for until zorra to. be forced pakistan's government to react strongly. it's really very ironic just a day earlier the the general the u.s. general who commands the ice forces in afghanistan was in rubble andy and he met the fox then the army chief and the meetings purposes basically can improve coordination and communication on the border so it's really very ironic that in

less than twenty four hours we have this kind of an attack the pakistani military and the government are in a very difficult position another irony here is is that the united states claims and nato and certainly the cia claimed that they have equipment and they ensure that whatever targets. they choose in our tribal belt are very specific and very accurate but it's really very surprising that we have these repeated incidents occurring against our checklist and i think it's a deliberate act punishment on the military as you know the cia infrastructure in box done is they rolled back quietly and gradually by the proxy military of this time of course the park has townies would have to do something that would pacify i not just their public opinion but also these soldiers on the and the officers of the pakistani army the feelings against what the united states doing in afghanistan the way the interests are being ignored there's

a whole long list of grievances and this is just the latest one of them. stay with us here on r t still to come in the program. i think that in america went to see by the way we have the money and with millions of people in the u.s. and around the world feeling the pinch of the global financial downturn some are still finding it tough to adjust to a life without easy credit. but first at least one person has been reportedly killed four injured near cairo's tahrir square as clashes between a stone hurling demonstrators and security forces move into their second week is the latest outbreak of violence in egypt in capital since a truce declared two days ago are his policy or has more. well clashes broke out between protesters the army and the police that happened wait kemal our guns all we can is the newly elected prime minister trying to enter the parliament building which is a short distance behind me according to medical sources at least. badly injured

when the police fired tear gas and one person was killed eyewitnesses say the person died when an army field called close over him now there is a conflict protesters that have gathered in front of the mall they are waiting to be lawyers we are also hearing to cash in. there yesterday some ten thousand people protested in front of the main security building and again the security personnel used tear gas to disperse them as you can see behind me the situation you go into this way it is relatively calm at the moment but the city is there and the kind of violence there was there's fear that any moment they could be school ready clashes in fact we've been hearing ambulances once again every so often screeching cost the big question on everyone's minds if you can raise more and more from the right sector this is what type of tear gas the security has been using there's a lot of criticism being leveled at the army and the police for the heavy handedness in which they have dealt with these demonstrations are people now saying

that the tear gas consumption and illegal substance that has been banned by other countries it's taken this and there was so much chaos and there was the different type of gas that was creating what they call the chemical the monia that was very very difficult to treat and the fact people have died from it and the police are telling the families of very poor families whose kids have been killed and you can come pick up the bodies but we're not going to give you a certificate of just to try to to hide what really is going on on the people's demands of certain off the may fight any of the changes proposed by staff can come from the armed forces they are proposing that they will go ahead with part of name to keep on monday people here saying that they are not going to come out and vote how can they vote in a climate. like this and what kind of puts it in the feet all these elections have the military is also promising to fight make schedule it will hold presidential elections people seem to face this is simply too late and of course one of the biggest announcements by the ministry of the past few days was the appointment of

come out guns or even as the new prime minister that he has been rejected by the majority of people here in texas where they say he's an elderly man and he's nearly eighty he served as prime minister when mubarak was president back in the late ninety's people here say that he is tainted with the brush of forcing the barak and his regime at the same time we know that kemal guns are using his base to try and form any cabinet he says that he would not have taken this position if he had nothing from this that he would have complete freedom with which to appoint people and activate the kind of changes he believes that should happen but really this is too little too late he comes to sound follows to the people here in cairo as indeed the promises have become the come to sound to me of the people of patiala close to experienced at least in the arab revolutions you know she does have a she seems to me to be very visceral it's nothing let's take a look at what a colleague of mine has to say. almost a year after mubarak slow tahrir square is again stained with blood this

is about the dignity of the egyptian people we don't want any more humiliation. here's another revolution seen libya the ousted leader former khadafi was killed last month the people of libya are now left with the country and rulings and the government they did not 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 the new authorities in libya you're likely to go to jail or be executed or disappear in the meantime please give us. interim government brought to power by nato is strengthening its grip on 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. because of the

western countries and the capitals of some countries in the region are openly recommending opposition to not hold talks with the assad regime and 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 penalties say certain powers 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 the oil resources of these oil rich countries large can be directly put under private hands it looks like this so-called transition to democracy in the wake of the arab spring is not going to while more blood is being shed we're looking at an arab winter and maybe a new air of spring round the corner as tensions rise and as certain global powers

are pushing for we've seen change in more countries of the region the wave of revolutions turning to a notion of chaos i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team the arab league ultimatum to syria to let in foreign observers or face sanctions has come and gone with arm rebels and government troops continuing to fight nationwide the league will now discuss new measures including the suspension of flights to syria as well as crippling restrictions on its central bank and intentions to force rebel leaders and president assad's government to the negotiating table but neither side seems she is showing any willingness to make concessions with what started as a series of peaceful protests. now becoming a bloody insurgency as the syrian inferno ranges some say pressure from outside the country is making the situation works. the arab league called an emergency meeting colorado to discuss syria meanwhile real reformers genuine egypt and

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 buildings in benghazi so if the if is 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 arms 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. stay with us here on r.t. still to come revealing some of the mysteries of the red planet find out how the hopes of finding traces of life on mars are being revived with nasa's next mission using a cutting edge russian water fighter. but first he once ran for office in a race to be state governor in the u.s. but an american who went to ukraine looking for love discovered only destitution ending up homeless with no money or means of contacting his family back home or he's like sarah ships he takes a look at the man's long strange trip. social services in western ukraine were very surprised at encountering this homeless man who. can do to exactly like a typical local bum i asked him what he was doing and he replied in english but no

regular down in out 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 s'posed in arizona but failed he came to ukraine on a scientific exchange mission which quickly merged into a white front go lego got in touch with a ukrainian woman yulia we invited him over to chip enough you'll use their 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 you we're a long way from home and love the american slept rough at the train station until he was found by local social services very seriously ill. he's now feeling well but

that's a fantastic trip was a very serious case an 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 if she arrived did she come to you or did she actually we met she call me once i missed the call she called me. just to see all of the e-mail. that was sure of my how was it for you psychologically your former candidate a senator candidate and now you find yourself in the middle. you know where being basically a whole board the train station. tauriel candidate i was look what's happened in washington. your book what's before her since she left office you know what i see

that it is these kind of things happen to people even the run for office you know it's there when i mean to 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 where that visit would be purely scientific or mixed with a personal his still has not yet made up his mind lexie rush of ski r.t. reporting from ukraine. story from ukraine and there's more from that country on our website our team dot com find out why the new feel wasteland that sure a noble that's been attracting tourists from around the world now officially closed to visitors and find out why it's made some far from happy plus. a policy country facing a legal challenge as a terror suspect who's never been charged files a lawsuit saying he was tortured at a secret cia prison there i don't know all this and more i put away at archie dot

com. now it's the holiday season in the u.s. with millions they're looking to lose themselves in the joys of yeah you will shopping spree but for many it's a chance to hold on to a lifestyle that's quickly becoming a rarity because of the ongoing financial crisis that's tearing through the world's biggest economies for others though the queuing has become a matter of survival as our teams are going to linda reports from los angeles. i lost my house my business and now i'm just kind of surviving it's difficult for lisa jones to plan b. on 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 the millions of americans who go hungry every day you see families you see the elderly you see

pregnant women you see people with polio you see people with diabetes you 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 for a 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 purse here 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 soldiers like a. key. member. was deeper into this. this year even the organizers of the give away needed a helping hand probably never had to go on t.v. to ask for any donations of things like that which will sometimes god makes to do

to protest by sunrise the langrune 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 wrestling about whether or not the bridge you got to pay their fair share is ridiculous the rich pay their 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 trip to give away 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 roller coaster of emotions jones can smile again knowing shell feed her family

this holiday season it's just growing said the rest of the rest of the month and. this mrs this is a godsend in los angeles and i'm telling the r t so the global financial rollercoaster has made millions of people around the world tighten their belts archy's laurie harkness asked people on the streets of new york how much of a hit their habits have taken. well. tis the season once again will this lousy economy affect your holidays this week let's talk about that in a moment it's ok not so much effective. to spend a lot of money for other european countries in the moment i guess so that's an effect but personally don't feel it was only you can enjoy your holidays and shop in portugal is a lot of trouble there with the money so you think people will have less shopping

and different holidays yeah not at all to me i mean all of those i'm from brazil so the economies are helping me. how is it how to get 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 there 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 because you're that close. you can buy anything apartment or something but i think some people are not affected but i'm sure certain 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 for us really

overseas so you know that aspect is the ones that. are you scared that it's going to start affecting thing in poor more. detail than your shop and 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 thing it's almost like that's what got the economy into a bad place people spending money they didn't have gray getting that in america where to buy whether we have the money or not whether or not your holidays will be affected by the economy this year the bottom line is the holiday season proposed to be about money so maybe cutting back this year will be

a good thing. turned out as some other stories making headlines across the globe german police to use water cabins to disperse anti-nuclear activists trying to stop the arrival of a train premier reprocess nuclear waste from france police also removed campaigners staging a sit down protest on the tracks as the train crossed the german border friday evening it's the first nuclear shipment of pos from germany since it decided to shut down all of its nuclear facilities. and let's take a look at this amazing video from switzerland where jet manned you gave his incredible flying display using a tailor made jet pack the aviation enthusiasts jump from a helicopter and performed a series of aerial acrobatics high above the alps and you then join two jet planes in a synchronized flight rossi's previous aerial feats included flying the english channel

and doing a loop de loop around a hot air balloon. very cool well aiming even higher than a jet matter so nasa scientists dead set on discovering traces of life on mars the latest soldier into the red planet due to take off within hours bringing with it a huge array of high tech tools and crucial to its success is cutting is a cutting edge water fiber that was built by russian scientists argues the area pushed over what to meet the man behind the device. a source of wild flights of imagination and of scientific speculation for centuries the red planet getting there has never been easy many missions have failed but hopes are high for this new rover it's called curiosity and it's two on mars and next year the science laboratory on board should answer many questions first and foremost if there's ever been life on the red planet. mars one of the greatest mysteries of mars is that its surface is streaked with what looks like from rivers and streams almost everyone

agrees that mars was similar with rivers lakes and rains there was a theory that border evaporated together with the martian atmosphere we seem to have discovered it may have sunk inside the planet in the form of a frost order. for this mission the russian scientists have created a unique device it will point the rover to places where water might have accumulated whether it's in ice cased in underground minerals as imagined in the blockbuster site fight until recall. and here it is this ordinary case consumes the dynamic all the go of neutrons or simply ban to 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 hard thing for the magic is that this has been downscaled prompts. based on

borehole equipment used for finding oil in 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 tube produces neutrons capable of penetrating up to one meter below the surface of the challenge was to accommodate a device onboard a spacecraft and were not only limited in weight it also had to endure all the hardships of interplanetary flight and now need them second half the hydrogen detector which will act as the probes aqua never gaita. one of the rovers like a small car and our devices placed on it like headlights so the balsa neutral generator shoots neutrons go into the ground and feel they were under if liquid or frozen water is there it can bend in measure without a director and the robot comes fully loaded seventeen high definition cameras
