this is r.t. and tonight nato admits it was highly likely to be responsible for the airstrike that killed twenty eight pakistani soldiers and has already led islamabad to block of vital military supply routes to afghanistan the latest on this developing story and. also chaos in cairo with fresh clashes flaring up in tahrir square as protesters give the new pm the cold shoulder and work on forming their own government. and how big blinded by love left this once aspiring american politician homeless and hopeless on the streets of ukraine.

close midnight here in moscow now my name's kevin owen you're watching r.t. in our top story pakistan is demanding the u.s. vacate an armed air base rather in the south west of the country where the cia suspected of launching unmanned drone attacks that comes after nato admitted it's probably the blame for a lethal helicopter border raid that killed up to twenty eight pakistani soldiers earlier islamabad also cut off a vital nato supply route for afghanistan in response the instant deals a serious blow now if already strained relations as our correspondent chris frida reports. according to the pakistani military nail helicopters actually attacked a military checkpoint on the pakistan afghan border that checkpoints called salo law 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 this and supplies that were meant for nato forces in afghanistan are not able to get over the border in the pockets of the military also called this attack quote unquote unprovoked and indiscriminate you know nato helicopters are often in this region performing missions against militancy and the taliban in this region poppy a son 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 alternately killed osama bin ladin just last year of united states accidentally killed to pakistani soldiers on the border and in that incident as well the pakistan afghanistan border was also shut down there have

also been a lots of talk about these unmanned drone strikes that have been going on across the border by the united states in pockets obviously the purpose of these missions these unmanned drone strikes is to attack the militants across the border so many times they've killed several civilians and after that there were several protests across the country in pakistan many pockets danis want to cut ties with the united states everyone sort of watching what the repercussions of this incident today will be for the region what we've heard what some of them are already opposed the reaction from the pakistani people to this leak is going to produce schools people throughout history which uses some parkas dollars of calling for revenge and retaliation. of the deaths she's also reporting that the people who were killed are being considered martyrs. ok stance calling the nato raid an attack on its territorial sovereignty now saying it will not tolerate such incidents don't raise is a political analyst for the british based stop the war coalition he told r.t.

that the us and its allies are created an explosive situation in the already volatile region. whether or not it's a precaution for washington it should be a big issue for the rest of us this is after all pakistanis after all a nuclear state the region is unstable the border with afghanistan is huge because pretext for drone attacks within five pakistani territory we know that the us military really regard and in the prefer to the whole area of africa as if it's one single state if the puppet regime is a puppet regime in afghanistan he's so horrified by the attack on pakistan that it is saying that it will back pakistan against the countries that are occupying afghanistan i think you can see quite how far this is no this is now run so i think this is a very very dangerous moment i think what the united states and its allies nato allies have done is an extremely dangerous incursion i'm not surprised that the

anger of the pakistani or the pakistani people and i think the message should go very very clearly the united states and its allies you are playing with fire you are risking instability greater instability in an already unstable region and this kind of behavior simply has to stop with gangsterism. still had this what's in store for syria is the arab league it is more sanctions against the assad regime we asked for the moves we should expect western powers also i think that in america we're trying to buy whether we have the money you know in the wake of black friday in the u.s. we asked people in new york if the financial crisis has put a black mark on their shopping plans this year. next the courage to tell you square remains a sea of protesters this weekend with tens of thousands having rallied overnight against egypt's military rulers more than forty people have been killed since the clashes broke out a week ago now he's policy has got the latest for you from cairo. the council are

growing their own for the people which have the rising over the situations as well maintained now we've just had an announcement find some sixteen each politically to say that they have a very tough explain what they are calling a civil salvation 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 first in the army might approach to be the prime minister as the head of this new government and there are high profile names that have been named as his deputies a leading physician economist and even 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's another government that has been declared by the army and it is worthwhile noting that the muslim brotherhood does not support the middle baradei in any way all of this is painting the scenario for growing internal why haven't we that can only lead to more and waste the one thing that is happening against the backdrop of this

political posturing is that the violence continues to climb just this morning saturday at least one person was killed another four people were injured when protesters try to stop come on algon is all me who is the new prime minister that has been named by the army from entering a government building according to eyewitnesses the person who was killed was driven over by and on the uncle we're also hearing from eyewitnesses that there was a lot of tear gas fired by the security forces and indeed these kind of records on tickets 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 point 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 was so much fear there was there a 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 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 it's not only fair we need to where 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 of this important and people feeling that promises were not kept across the region as my colleague in this case said. almost a year after mubarak's fall sorry your sport is again stained with blood this is not you it's about the dignity of the 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 rulings and in 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 new authorities in libya you're likely to go to jail or be executed or disappear in the meantime interim government grant 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 exposed buildings up and looks like it's 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 for the occasion 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 discontent and chaos in order that it long term will be militarized directly by nato and the people will 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 shared we're looking at an arab winter and maybe a new where spring around the corner as tensions rise and as certain global powers are pushing for regime change in more countries of the region the wave of revolutions turning to a notion of chaos and then it's check our reporting from washington our team. more casualties being reported in syria as armed rebels and government troops continue to clash in the country's eastern region the arab league's ultimatum demanding that

the mascot's let for the observers in all face sanctions expired on friday with no response illegal now look at new measures including suspending flights to syria as well as crippling restrictions on its central bank that's on the back of the recently harsh rhetoric from western countries towards a solution rather than i'm a nice policy director just foreign policy but all he told us that those western nations are getting. the french government. culture but you know that theory and meaning western troops are just playing into the hands of the regime anything that has to do with these issues and should be their only turkey regional players teams not friends states western europe. western military intervention. outside of the discussion right now it should be the focus should be regional players trying to prove her. political solution something

else that might interest you tonight r.t. online reporting about the fast food chains t.v. or the way it sees the fate of the dictators in the middle east and africa. we. get a minute check out who else is barbara's longtime ruler robert mccartney is remembering and is now sold lonely did not on the water dock. an american scientist mission to ukraine turned into a quest of a very different kind of chemistry tempted by promised love he was quickly left

homeless hungry and with no way to go out his election i just got the story of a man for who love really does. social services in western ukraine were very surprised at encountering this homeless man. he looked exactly like a typical local bomb and 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 us citizen carry delayed oh yes scientists 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 wife hunt the lego got in touch with the ukrainian woman yulia we invited him over to chin after you'll use that she is definitely working looking for a marriage partner therefore it is 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 and he's now doing well but that's intensive treatment for was a very serious case of pneumonia. 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 if she arrived if you can see your who you did she actually we met she called me once and this is the course she called me years just to see all of the e-mail. she said she would come by the next day on one charity never showed up and

i miss you know that you know well how was it for you psychologically you are for my candidate a senate candidate and now you find yourself in. nowhere being basically a holborn the train station is what i see that is the. worst work what's happened in michigan experimenting with your book what's before her since you were gone first you know what i see that it is these kind of things happen to people even though run for office really know it's there we're going to mean to them you know despite a genuine tom sawyer style adventure in ukraine delayed will says he's 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. next year a chef ski artsy reporting from ukraine. well the search for love in places say there's no is end badly as you'll find out on our website because one lucky kill

somewhere is going to win colin firth he puts himself out of the how much to help the poor to find out what could be on the cards for the highest bidder check out. also while you get the king's ransom for a place in history no less than nine illegal statues of local businessmen have been removed from the one park in central moscow put they weren't cheap find out how much they had to shell out for their own monuments a lot of them consigned to the scrappy on our website. this is our. it's holiday season in america with millions they're looking to lose themselves in the pleasures of a shopping spree for many it's a chance to hold on to a lifestyle that's becoming a rarity thanks to the ongoing financial crisis tearing through the world's biggest economies but for others killing has become

a matter of survival too as artie's roman kalinda explains. 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 were polio you see people were very few people have done well eager shoppers camped out in front of retail stores on black friday joan sleeps on the cold pavement waiting in a different line wait for your turkey i used to be a god dreamer i used to have my own shopping now i deny it i'm in gets rid straight 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 i think anomic battle at home. for the soldiers a good example of keeping. remember. under oath what to. post the program says. 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 some found god makes to do that test 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 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 name. 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 just so many people in the same fifteen hours later in freezing temperatures in a rollercoaster of emotions jones can smile again knowing feed her family this holiday season it just brings up the rest of the rest of the. this is a guy. in los angeles. archie stay with the holiday season america half an assassin people of new york just how much their spending habits have been hit by the global financial rollercoaster.

tis the season once again will this lousy economy affect your holidays this week let's talk about that in a moment 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 money do you think people will have less shopping and different holidays not at all to me i mean holidays i'm from brazil so the columns are helping me. how is it helping you 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 tell. me what that comfortable. clothes. you can buy anything parchment or something but. some people are not affected but i'm sure some people are affected and so the countries like we're from singapore i've got friends it's hard to find jobs and stuff like that but for us really you know asked affected the ones that. are you scared that it's going to start affecting singapore more. but until then you're shopping and. 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 yeah i think that in america we're taught to buy whether we have the money or not whether or not you or how it 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. take you around the world for news in brief several bomb attacks have hit central iraq killing fifteen and injuring dozens first two roadside bombs hit a truck and construction workers move to tell about a grave that's west of baghdad it was then followed by three more explosions in the capital center as part of this comes just two days after a triple blast killed nineteen countries south. with more than two thousand protesters in south korea clashed with police in central so demonstrators were angry over a free trade agreement with the u.s. which was forced through parliament but of course for president lee myung bak to resign as they say the deal favors the u.s. over south korean workers will make as an asian country but working treaty since the u.s. congress approved the deal last month that was debated in washington for a. nice pictures here in switzerland is in the frame for or seagate was incredible

flying display using a unique tailor made jet pack will double zero seven spy stuff in it the aviation things he has left for the helicopter and performed a series of aerial acrobatics high above the alps break chaps then join two jet planes in a synchronized flight that went well rossi's previous aerial antics included flying the english channel the new pink and blue around a hot air balloon you will be very pleased to know his parachute will just stay with these pictures he made it very very safely back to. i was also on a different plan to fly this only much further afield to the red planet in fact that's his biggest the most expensive robotic rovers blasted off from cape canaveral on a voyage of discovery the probe has been nicknamed curiosity its show jewel to rival the mineral rich national gale crater next august to search the surface for clues about whether the planet's ever had

a life friendly environment i was asked if diapers per explains next is russian kit that's going to be sniffing out those vital something was. the source of wild flights of imagination and of scientific speculation for centuries the red planet getting there has never been easy and any missions have failed but hopes are high for this new radar it's called curiosity and it's to you on mass next year the science award for one to which you can answer many questions first and foremost if there's ever been life on the red planet that god gave you 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 it was similar with rivers and 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 and the form of permafrost in 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 or encased in underground minerals as imagined in the blockbuster sayf ita little recall. and here it is the ordinary case conceals the dynamic all be go of neutrons or simply them to its friends. it weighs no more than two bats a 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 thing magic is that this has been downscaled crumpets. based on bore hole equipment used for finding oil in the one metre long neutral generator has been turned into a small light and compact one. of the governor this is the heart of the device this tiny chip produces neutrons capable of penetrating up to one meter a little service. or not that was about the challenge was to accommodate not

advisable onboard a spacecraft who were not only limited in weight it also had to ensure all the hardships of interplanetary fly aboard and now need them second half the hydrogen detector which will act as the probes aqua never gave her. so i was in europe what with the rovers with a small car in our devices great solid rock headlights so the balsa neutral generator shoots newton's go into the ground groove you have your hand if we could have frozen water is now it can be measured without detector and the road becomes fully loaded seven thousand high definition cameras aluminum wheels that can be steered independently and mount laser to the prize rock and a robotic arm to drill and scoop up samples among other instruments under the hood then you can hear powered engine to give it a top crawling speed of light centimeters per second with this arsenal once the dan device shows the right spot the love will start its meticulous work and mankind

will hold its breath for one of the most elusive answers in space exploration. r.t. asco so most missing the cosmic mysteries that technology rover might come up with but will keep you posted. you have to wait quite so longer for our own slightly more modest discoveries deny our technology update coming your way later in about two hours the start of the program goes on preventing the world's future stoics are running on empty. worlds for the eye or in more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers to the future of under the microscope. we've got the future. programs coming up kate say with the sport in just about fifteen minutes and rumors abound in that england manager fabio capello could could only be on his way to big

spending russian side always g.'s been spotted at the bolshoi ballet more of that later oh so modern and his bring us the latest edition of moscow it was a museum that said he likes to keep its cool the mysteries revealed that so the next time i was on our team most. of. the little. wealthy british scientists it's time to rise.
