five pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story pakistan has cut off the vital flow of nato supplies to afghanistan after a helicopter attack an overhaul of the border region and killed up to twenty eight pakistani soldiers and injured more than a dozen the incident may deal a serious blow to ties between the alliance and islam a bad already somewhat strained over deadly raids in pakistani territory our correspondent in the region priya sridhar has more. according to the pakistani military nato helicopters actually attacked a military checkpoint on the pakistan afghan border that checkpoints called salo a lot in response this incident actually isolated pretty quickly and the pakistani military actually shut down that checkpoint which is the shortest checkpoint between pakistan and afghanistan so now all the supplies that were meant for nato forces in afghanistan are not able to get over the border in the pocket money

military also called this attack 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 and now nato helicopters are often in this region performing missions against militants and the taliban in this region pocket sun is a very strategic ally to the united states in the quote unquote war on terror and tensions between the two countries have always existed they came to an all time high back in may when the united states performed a unilateral attack that actually i'll timidly killed osama bin ladin just last year of the united states accidentally killed two pocket money soldiers on the border and in that incident as well the pakistan afghanistan border was also shut down there have also been a lot of talk about these unmanned drone strikes that have been going on across the

border by the united states in pockets than the obviously the purpose of these missions these unmanned drone strikes is to attack the militants across the border many times they've killed several civilians and after that there were several protests across the country in fact is done many pockets dani's want to cut ties with the united states and everyone sort of watching what the repercussions of this incident today will be for the region. there's been a powerful reaction from the pakistani people to the latest nato attack syria is keeping us up to date through our tease twitter stream where she says some pakistanis are calling for a ben generates how he ation for the deaths she also reports that people who were killed are being considered martyrs. but pakistan is calling the nato re raid and attack on its territorial sovereignty saying it won't tolerate such incidents a political analyst in the country tells r.t. that public outrage has forced islam about to react strongly. it's really very

ironic just a day earlier the and the general the u.s. general who commands the ice their forces in afghanistan was in rubble pindi and he met the fact that 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 and the pakistani military and the government are in a very difficult position another irony here is the 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 incidences occurring against were checked those and i think it's a deliberate act punishment military as you know the infrastructure in box done is being rolled back quietly again gradually by the pakistani military at this

time of course the it hearkens toni's would have to do something that would pacify i not just their public opinion but also these soldiers and the officers of the pakistani army the feelings against what the united states doing and understand the way the pakistani interests are being ignored there's a whole long list of grievances and this is just the latest one of them will stay with us here on our t.v. still to come will be back in central asia later in the program. are his military contribute anything to shove will be taking a look at how the u.s. uses its influence in the region. plus nasa about to launch its biggest ever probe to mars and we ask the russian scientists who designed a special part of it how their device might help uncover traces of life on the red planet. but first cairo's tahrir square remains a sea of protesters this weekend with tens of thousands having

a rally overnight against egypt's military leaders more than forty people have been killed since clashes broke out a week ago artie's policy or has the latest from cairo. the crowds here are growing there are all the people that have been driving over the situations as were made things now we just had an announcement find some sixty each she finishes he quits he said if they have to carry toughness wait what they are calling a civil salvation the government they've named mohamed el baradei is a presidential candidate who is also a name that was being bandied about earlier in the week as a possible person the army wanted coach to be the prime minister as the head of this new government and they are high profile names that have been named as his deputies a leading physician even coniston meeting politicians who do not have this is the most bizarre situation where you have a government that has been to create fear itself here while there is another government that has been declared by the army and it is worthwhile noting that the

muslim brotherhood does not support mohamed el baradei in any way all of this is painting the scenario for growing internal why haven't we that can only lead to more ways the one thing that is happening against the backdrop of this political posturing is that the violence continues to climb just the swarming saturday if you see one person was killed another four people were injured when protesters try to stop or come i'll guns all we do is the new prime minister that has been named by the army from entering a government building according to eyewitnesses because he was killed was driven over by an army the uncle we are also hearing from eyewitnesses that there was a lot of tear gas fired by the security forces and indeed these kind of reports on tear gas are coming to us from alexandria the protests continue outside the security building there it has caused leading civil rights activists to start pointing fingers and try to bring international attention to what they say is launching and illegal substance that the egyptian army and police have been using

let's take a listen there are so much there was and there was the different type of gas that was creating what they call the chemical pneumonia that was very very difficult to treat. and in fact people have died from it and the police are telling families of very poor families whose kids have been killed you come 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 it's not only fair we need to play protesters feel that the revolution they started back in january has not achieved the goals they were hoping for indeed we witnessing this same kind of feeling at this important and people feeling that promises were not kept across the region as my colleague in this today said. almost a year after mubarak's fall hurry you're swear 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 moammar gadhafi was killed last month the people of libya are now left with a country in ruins and a 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 intrinsic government brought to power by nato is strengthening kids 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. and is up with western countries and 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 powers might be interested in keeping the trouble boiling there are certain powerful interests outside of the middle east who wants to bring chaos is a rolling scenario just contending 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 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 rare spring around the corner as tensions rise and as certain global powers are pushing for regime change in more countries of the region the label forever who fails to turn into a notion of chaos and then in check out reporting from washington are key. arm

rebels and syrian government troops are clashing in the east of the country with casualties being reported on both sides as follows the arab league's ultimatum demanding damascus let in foreign observers or face sanctions expired without result on friday a lead will now look at new measures including suspending flights to syria as well as crippling sanctions on its central bank this on the back of increasingly harsh rhetoric from western countries toward the syrian leadership political analyst patrick headings and says pressure from the outside the country is only the making matters worse. the arab league called an emergency meeting in cairo 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 building from benghazi so if the if if the western power. as 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 or 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. route solution one thousand nine hundred seventy three so the u.n. is losing all credibility here as well. turning now to something a little different r.t. online reports how a fast food chains t.v.

a chef ski has the story of one man for whom love really did hurt. social services in western ukraine were very surprised at encountering this homeless man who was going to be genetic he looked exactly like a typical local gun and i asked him what he was doing and he replied in english but no regular down and out was he a homeless man turned out to be a u.s. citizen carried a lego scientist and politician last year he even ran for the governor's post in arizona but failed he came to ukraine on a scientific exchange mission which quickly merged into a white front the lego got in touch with the ukrainian woman yulia we invited him over to chill enough so you you'll you'll see that she is definitely looking looking for marriage partners are produced through the rest was like a bad dream it was and sure enough see that the lego learnt 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 has now been well but that's a fantastic trip was a very serious case of new money and. 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 kenya alone as yulia has snubbed him that she arrived did she come to you or you did she actually we met she call me once i missed the call she called me. and said just received the email. she said she's going to come i'm sure if you never showed up and i miss you know

well how was it for you psychologically your former candidate a senator candidate and now you find yourself in the middle. nowhere being basically a holborn the train station when i say that is you will be sure your candidate i was look what's happened he was explaining your book would speak ill of her since she left office you know what i say that is these kind of things happen to people even though one for a moment was that if no one's here we're going to mean to do you know despite a genuine tom sawyer style adventure in ukraine delayed says he has fallen in love with the country and will definitely reach our next spring where that's visits would be purely scientific or mixed with the personal his still has not yet made up his mind. the next year a chef steve azzi reports from ukraine seems that love really may be in the air and that includes our web site as well. rob strugar olds from around the world

tis the season and 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 effected. as to spend a lot of money for other european countries yes so that's an effect right i personally don't feel. you can enjoy your holidays and shop in portugal is a lot of trouble there with the morning do you think people will have less shopping and different holidays not at all to me i mean all of those i'm from brazil so the economies are helping me there and how they have a 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 as 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 tell. me what that comfortable. clothes really i can buy anything apartment of something . happening some people aren't affected but i'm sure 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. you know as affected as the ones that. are you scared that it's going to start if i think singapore more. to intel than your shop and that's. 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 right yet i think that in

america we're taught to buy whether we have the money or not what. your holidays will be affected by the economy this year the bottom line is the holidays aren't supposed to be about money so maybe cutting back this year will be a good thing. i keep our wall street protesters use black friday to spread their message about corporate greed lines of police officers in riot gear faced off with dozens of demonstrators in san francisco trying to dissuade shoppers from buying in the big box sales at macy's and other stores and about ten minutes max kaiser and stacy herbert have some good news for the so-called ninety nine percent who are demanding justice. it was street is winning under the vows of the bankers and brokers are being laid off that's right get rid of the banks turn that's what we're aiming for here's the way donald application could get a job hasn't the article starts off introducing john brady the co-head of m.f.

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 to you on mars next year the science the boy three on board should answer many questions first and foremost if there's added a life on the red planet i've got. one of the greatest mysteries of mars is that its surface is street with what looks like from rivers and streams almost everyone agrees that mars was similar with rivers lakes and rains it was a theory that border evaporated together with the martian atmosphere we seem to have discovered 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 in cased in underground minerals as imagined in
