truly easier marks the first anniversary of its revolution with a monument to the man who said it was self a lie to his death unleashed a protest movement that gave birth to the arab spring but many believe that little changed in the country. because it sounds authorities impose a curfew on an oil town in the west of the country where independence day riots left at least eleven dead in the central asian states. and the trial of sense here a new court rules that iran provided material support to al qaeda for the nine eleven attacks in america critics however say the verdict is merely a pretext for war against terror.

this is r t thanks for being with us is what i am now here in moscow i'm kevin owen and first tens of thousands of people in china sea have been celebrating the first anniversary of the country's revolution which overthrew dictator ben ali twenty five years in power the uprising was the spark for the arab spring which rocked almost twenty countries across north africa or the middle east but even after elections in june is here calls for change remain strong is what is really going to be funny. a year ago mohamed bouazizi set himself to protest against the authorities continue to listen public ferry over corruption and poverty which led to the suit president ben ali a wave of revolt spread to other countries and the arab spring was born. day a monument stands to his sacrifice in his hometown of city boise there's a widespread belief however that the changes in tunisia in there with them about

a. very few things to upgrade the school to need families with disabled children and some jobs. but no one wants to listen to the people haven't gotten anything those who came from broad and reaped all the benefits they're all in the new government but the simple folk are left with nothing. but the tunisian revolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater percentage but the voice of news according to some has been silenced. like the new government is comprised of the elderly that shows what kind of new tunisia we're talking about the main problem is the political parties which have been given a chance to the young people who gave their lives and blood for the revolution the western media has hailed the journey as an evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country and the entire northern africa region a year has passed and people who live here stay very few of the changes they have asked for have actually taken place they are going to everything is still as it

used to be the elections have come and gone and the town has an. unemployment is still the same if not worse with the only things that changed you can now express our opinion but the rouge main goals haven't been accomplished there were the fervor which sparked a revolution beyond the slow burning for no one but if the grievances which inspired it remain so were the people's inspiration to all together it goes carty city was it tunisia. egypt which followed choosier on the road to revolution is bracing itself for yet more violence at least nine of dieted over three hundred fifty been injured since friday after the army moved in to disperse demonstrators as an anti military protest camp on cairo's tahrir square of latins a reporter for the jerusalem post he says the army is frightened at the prospect of an egypt being run by islamist political parties there are a symptom of a wider power struggle that's taking place between the military and the parliament

a new parliament that's been elected that's being elected in phases i think that the military is very frightened of the. aspect of an egypt that would be led by islamist political parties they're worried about security they're worried about the economy what this could do to tourism and they're very reluctant they've got used to being in power for many many years since the fifty's i think they're very reluctant to let go of that power i don't think that there actually has been a revolution yet i think that what's happened is that the figurehead of the military regime has been deposed very dramatically certainly that's a hugely significant event it's an earthquake but i thought i would define a revolution as the ousting of the elites from power and i think that the elites in egypt which which are the military i think they're still in power and once the military is gone from power fully gone from power then i think we can describe what we're seeing in egypt as a revolution until then when i think these two sides are stuck in their current position fighting it out through

a range of ways and one of these ways is street battles between the military security forces and the people so i think it's going to be unpredictable violent in some cases and it's also going to damage egypt's ability to maintain law and order on its streets. the arab league says it will give syria until wednesday to let in observers or it'll be considering turning to the u.n. security council for action it comes as russia is speaking up for its un resolution on syria in the face of attempts by the u.s. and its allies to see the text of the changed but moscow insists it's drawn up a balanced approach to solving the crisis draft condemns all sides in the ongoing conflict calling for the violence to stop while ruling out foreign intervention and sanctions washington wants the blame for the bloodshed put on the damascus authorities alone it also will acknowledge that the opposition is armed despite thousands of defectors claiming to be fighting to bring down the regime. coming up in the program a soldier's bravery all betrayal we'll find out the latest on the u.s.

army private accused of passing military secrets to the whistleblower website wiki leaks but his supporters seeing it was a hero not to try. it. also. all goes well as a russian built rocket successfully launches from a european spaceport in french guiana we'll look at what this journey to the stars means now for the world. president nursultan nazarbayev has announced a curfew in a town in the west of the central asian country where riots on friday left at least eleven dead he also said the situation is now under control the unrest was nish ated by a group of striking oil workers during state celebrations marking twenty years of independence to china because we know the local journalist she told r t what happened oh work isn't generalising have been striking for fairly long already for several months it is treasury notes but the reemerged in full force yesterday got us that it was deliberate in its twentieth anniversary so there was

a big date and instead of a concert and a celebration there was a riot and people here would. who were on the video those people the old dressed in clothes and the guys uniforms this is very strange for a strike but your uniform you know and the way you are moving into organized bags but it looks like that's all workers are being anyway whether they're demanding wages or they're being led by somebody that they're taking part. but. since they were just crashing things around. and they were behaving too organized and they weren't attacking authorities and at least until the police came in so it looked like the general perception said that this is all just really just we started and led the crowd and the crowd was sort of further heated up it looks like this is been let down so this could be external forces like other countries

intelligence or this could be. sort of local forces who are interested in or throw in to go in and changing the regime and this is. and there is that to be very calm and stable now in the square nobody is raging or more so the internet connection and all years and years and everything it is it was under curfew restriction that has been implemented. in new york courts ruled the rand provided material support to al qaeda for nine eleven attacks but the hearing was settled by default because the defendants including iran's supreme leader didn't appear in court as well to refer support sheldon foote from california state university he says it's part of a campaign the things to demonize iran and begin plans to attack the country. this is what we call a kangaroo court in america this is totally outrageous its allies by the american government if we want to look for blame we can start with saudi arabia where most of the hijackers came from having lived and worked in arab countries i can tell you there is no way that the arab government did not know what was going on in saudi

arabia we could look to germany where many of them live we could look at american flight schools we could look at f.b.i. agents reported disappear ears and secures did nothing. and has no involved but in this whatsoever no the neoconservative warmongers are trying to demonize iran even more and build up to a war and unfortunately the average american voter knows so little we knew congresswoman michele bachmann a couple weeks ago was able to say that she would close the american embassy and bring home the investor and staff and that wasn't subjected to great ridicule every american i've talked to so far doesn't know anything wrong with that statement right after nine eleven i was shocked that the iranian leadership said they would permit american military to use their space to attack afghanistan that they would help any downed pilots they would they would help supply anything else they bent over backwards to help america beyond belief that iranian journalists had been

murdered by the taliban there was no love lost between the taleban of the iranians . and us madrid kosovan pretrial hearings into the case of alleged whistleblower bradley manning by rejecting a defense request that the presiding officer should step down they claim his other role investigating the founder of wiki leaks they feel makes him biased private manning you served as an intelligence analyst in baghdad he's accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic data to the whistle blowing web site he's already been in detention for nineteen months and could face life in prison or even execution of convicted kevin zeese from the bradley manning support network tell me the soldier when are they receive a fair trial after president obama's. that he's guilty. we think that manning is not someone who is a traitor he was didn't sell documents to foreign enemies he didn't profit from them he is accused of giving them to the media and what he gave the media were

allegedly were very low level documents low security in fact probably should not have been declassified documents at all were also worried that i mean i can't get a fair trial president obama has already announced that he's guilty he's the commander in chief it's a command structure in the military sorry body who's involved in this trial from the judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line they have no choice but to say manning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president already said he's guilty a soldier who's in that situation is a choice of ignoring the nuremberg principles and becoming complicit in these crimes or exposing those crimes if manning is guilty of what he's accused what does he get what he's guilty of is telling the truth laying the truth out so the american public can see what the u.s. military and state department actually are doing this trial is embarrassment to the u.s. military and he united states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear of the truth is what's driving this prosecution. russia's own national interests will guide its actions on the global

pump water has been leaking into the hull the ship is called the spotter has been hold apparently one and a half meters just below the water line now crew members to try and solve the problem been told to ditch cargo to reduce the ship's weight and try to get that water line up rescuers say if they succeed the vessel could be repaired allowing the troll to say a lot of trouble. because it should be getting a water line now a russian built soyuz rocket successfully blasted off from the european space port in french guiana it was carrying french and chilean spice satellites into orbit french observation stations will be gathering military intelligence and providing three d. images of targets on earth really detailed pictures he's going to send back while the chilean but it take knology that are in the sky is set mainly they say to map farmall and it's only the second time a russian rockets launched from outside the former soviet union following a similar successful mission last month also from french guiana after america's

space shuttle program was shut down soyuz remains the only means of taking people and satellites into space. a bill being debated by the u.s. congress to stop online piracy could mean the start of web censorship in america according to critics of the proposal internet activist added schwartz told me the move could also cripple copyright protection as we know it the government doesn't just take down the infringing material it takes on the site entirely and it does it without even a trial the find out whether it's illegal or not and as you know copyright laws are extremely complicated there are lots of things that look like copyright infringement but turn out to be licensed in one way or another part of this is a larger crackdown on freedom of speech there's pretty much no other law that would give the government the power to censor the internet that wouldn't be laughed out of congress you know if you said the government needed to censor the internet to protect national security it would be widely seen in america is totally unacceptable and beyond the pale but by using copyright as a wedge issue suddenly we're able to put this power in the hands of the government

and then once they have it it can be expanded and expanded to deal with a whole range of other things one of the interesting provisions in this law is it doesn't just set down websites it also increases the penalties for people caught in gauging and copyright infringement so for example if you make a video on you tube of yourself singing and copyrighted song this bill would increase the penalty to that to ten years in jail so there's all sorts of people who do these things that would just be considered part of natural life as a teenager that now are facing huge felony charges as a result of this law. well pretty speech often means that in much of the mainstream media there can also be. of courtesy of facts. resident to your cost people their whether they're tired of a subjective view of the news. are you sick of the media being biased this week let's talk about that do you feel like the media's biased sure they are just going to pick the right one that you want to

listen to is the right one around one know. you're going to listen to them all or make up your own wife when do you k.'s very political party is it government is in power i can't. see things on the media i absolutely do think it's important for the noose a try to be on bias but unfortunately everybody brings their own slant to their reporting i don't think it's avoidable even though it's desirable of it's possible for anybody to be unbiased so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because they're professionals who journalists there's a job there's still human. well they have a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue and a lot of it to a lot of it isn't that a shame that the news would be untrue. but the thing is it sells papers and it sells news and people watch it people have to channel that bother you know not at all just the way they were out there believe what you want to believe do you think

it would help people be more informed if news organizations admitted they're biased . i think sober people wouldn't believe them and then they'd turn whoever was bias anyway there's a lot of people that think the some channels are fair and balanced other channels aren't leaning in any direction well i mean i think we all know that's not true right we all this into the news every single day and we all hear the ridiculousness on both sides yeah but i think fox particularly will report both sides in both views and they have people of opposing views on very frequently they don't think they're biased that i think they themselves they may be yes slant but i think it's a moniker that people have put on them. and there's still good service packs through they are they are but that's ok they should just admit it they do i think now i think someone else with their fair and balanced base pay orders and each person to keep these experts they can me and every individual has his own personal

bias you can't get away from them maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding they admit their bias and maybe that they'll at least be accountable for the opinions they report. next we had the water rushes most rest of republics for reporters to find out about the bottle there to stop young people from falling prey to terrorists. doug a start often makes headlines for all the wrong reasons with frequent reports of insurgency and instability hall employment and low living standards or sometimes by this group courses which help free of militancy others with a caution over. the caucasian republic of dagestan and south and russia is one of the most volatile areas in the country groups of militants operating in

this part of the caucasus are reported to have strong links with al qaida look to draw people in when they're young and to tell rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials tourism has often go into the lives of many innocent families across the region because of that a number of organisations have sprung up fighting for victims' rights and helping is also fucked its peace their lives back together i had it turns to spend the day would speak loudly after losing her son three years ago has dedicated her life battling for her people's future. it's a cold mr winter morning in the hutch gone straight line a sign of as always is first in the office the telephone starts ringing right as she enters the room it is the usual start of the day for the mothers of dagestan a human rights organisation created four years ago and now known across the region

today cyclone is heading to the outskirts of the capital a single mother of four lives her husband was killed by robbers and she was left with nothing but her children will sit on the brings food clothes and talks to her talking as soon as the most important part offering reassurance to victims that they have not been forgotten you're probably should not be unusual our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in. is there any need to come to help with most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask to help three years ago so atlanta was in the same position when one day her son failed to return home she didn't know what to do and lost a valuable time that could have been used to rescue him. if i knew then what i know today my rights the right people i could have saved him i could have found out where he was good have done something. said lois son was accused of helping terrorists in dagestan she fears he was killed but where she still doesn't know

these accusations are common in this region young and immature people often become the victims of terrorist brainwashing high unemployment also boasts this quite often people that fall under the influence of those with no financial of social prospects and see going into the forest use them as an for joining terrorist as the only way out for them that's what happened with mariam and it cost her her life she had a difficult childhood was raised without a father and her mother couldn't provide for the family her mother honeymoon remembers how when her daughter started working at the market she met very religious people that. at first i thought there was nothing bad in that but then my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real nuisance and we're all going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never listened. to her new friends who were. her new friends turned out to be

extremists and the last year of her life she disappeared for several months the next time her mother saw her face was on t.v. in a report on the latest special forces raid against suspected terrorists these dog least kerr mischa's are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region illiteracy led by dog who is russia's most wanted militant and on the list of america's most. wanted terrorists won to establish a pan caucasian islamist state. in the last decade parts of dagestan has become really just theoretical ice this region is now the heart of precious islamic terrorist problem and almost every day the authorities are engaged in shoot outs with terrorists and very often that happens even in the capital city of the region . locals say it's hardly surprising muslims are turning to radical islam as they see it as an alternative to the hard life in the region the older members of the

community believe a large proportion of those who went to the forest a simply bandits from and to such as fight a younger generation. if anyone told me thirty years ago that life in dagestan would be like what we see now i would never believe it. the locals want the rule of law enforced and respected again every turn to a time before terror played such a dominant part in the lives of so many minds in the question r.c. close up in the republic of dagestan. for sure mark skies are in coast to see her discuss the true cost of keeping the banks afloat in the latest kaiser report from the most of a recap of the day's top stories in just a few moments live from moscow here on out to you with me kevin no it.
