hello and welcome to all see twenty four hour news live from. our top story now tens of thousands of people in tunisia have been celebrating the fast and about sort of the country's revolution which i was thrilled to tell you so ben ali after almost twenty five years in power they are prizing was this punk for the arab spring which shocked almost twenty countries across north america north africa rather the middle east but even after elections in tunisia calls for change remain strong that as well she's going to be finding out. a year ago mohamed bouazizi set himself on fire to protest against the authorities in tunisia unleashing public frie over corruption and poverty which led to the president ben ali a wave of revolt spread to other countries and the arab spring was born. a monument stands to his sacrifice in his hometown. there's

a widespread belief however that the changes in tunisia in their little. we've asked for 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 got money thing those who came from broad and reaped all the benefits they're old and the new government the simple folk are left with nothing. like the tunisian revolution was led by young people demanding freedom of speech and greater presentation but the voice of news according to some has been silenced. 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 delusion evolution as the beginning of a new democratic chapter in the history of the country and the entire northern african 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 as soon as it used to be the actions have come and gone and the town has an. unemployment is still the same if not worse we are the only things that change you can now express our opinion but the relations main goals haven't been accomplished. fervor which sparked a revolution in the slow burn for no one but if the grievances which inspired it for mean so with the people's inspiration all together it goes courting the city was it tunisia. and egypt which followed tunisia on the road to revolution is bracing itself for get to more violence and at least nine have died and over three hundred fifty have been injured since friday after the ana moved into despair as demonstrators at an anti military process count on cairo's tahrir square and up in a reporter for the jerusalem post says the army is frightened at the prospect of egypt being run by islamist political party. they're a symptom of

a wider power struggle that's taking place between the military and the islamist led parliament the new parliament that's been elected that's being elected in phases i think that the military is very frightened of the prospect 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 that they're very reluctant they've gotten 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. search for people have been reportedly killed across syria as the arab league demands damascus lexeme international observers threatening to turn to the un security council for action if the request is refused it comes as russia has put forward a new draft resolution to the u.n. security council on syria moscow's demanding boys their side regime on the opposition and the violence and begin dialogue rooting out a foreign intervention and sanctions but the u.s. and its allies on the russian motion amended seek to put the blame for the bloodshed on the mask as authorities alone that's despite thousands of army defectors claiming to be fighting to bring down there sandra. this is so to come in

the program a soldier's bravery or betrayal by dollars the latest sign the u.s. army private accused of passing military secrets to the whistle blowing web site if we can leaks with his supporters seeing him as a hero not a traitor. as a russian rocket successfully launches from the european space port in french guiana look at what this journey to the stars mean is for the world. because our president answered by it has announced a curfew in a town in the west of the central asian country where riots on friday left at least eleven people dead and he also said the situation is now under control and rest was initiated by a group of striking oil workers during states of variations marking twenty years of independence that is a local journalist and she told r.t. what happened all workers in genoa as in have been struggling for. several months

it is true. but the reemerged in full force yesterday the other one was deliberate in its twenty two new grocery so there was a big day age and instead of a concert and a celebration there was a riot and people queued the people who were on the view of those people the old marched in person their guns uniforms these just barely. for a strike you're uniformed you know and they were you're moving into organized bags but it looks like it's all workers are doing in your way whether they're demanding we're yours or they're being led by somebody they're taking part. but. since they were just rushing things around. and they were behaving too organized and they were talking authorities and. the police came in so it looked like. these are just really grassroots trying to and lead the crowd and the crowd was sort of forced hued up it looks like crew this is being let down this could be

external forces like the country's intelligence or this could be sort of local forces who are interested in overthrowing the government changing the regime this is george and there is said to be very calm and stable nobody that this square nobody is raging or the internet connection and or years and years and everything it is it falls under a curfew restriction that has been implemented. by new york court has ruled that iran provided material support to al qaeda for the nine eleven attacks but the hearing was settled by default because the defendants including iran's supreme leader did not appear in court professor paul sheldon fruit from california state university says this is part of the can paint to demonize iran and begin plans to attack the country. this is what we call a kangaroo court in america this is totally outrageous it's advised 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 lived we could look at american flight schools we could look at f.b.i. agents reported disappear ears in the spurious did nothing. iran has no involvement in this whatsoever know that a 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 know congresswoman michele bachmann a couple weeks ago was able to say that she would close the american embassy and bring home the ambassador 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 airspace 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 taliban and the iranians. a u.s. military court has opened pretrial hearings in the case of alleged whistleblower bradley manning rejecting a defense request that the presiding officer should step down they claim his other role investigating they found a wiki leaks that makes him biased private manning has served as an intelligence analyst in baghdad is accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic data to the whistle blowing web site is of great i've been held in detention for nineteen months and could face life in prison or even execution of convicted and kevin zeese from the bradley manning support network says this soldier will hardly receive a fair trial after president obama has stated that he is guilty. we think that manning is not someone who is a traitor he was. documents to foreign enemies he didn't profit from them he is

accused of giving them to the media and what he gave to me were allegedly were very low level documents low security into that i probably should not have been declassified documents at all were also words i mean you 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 cerebrally who is in the. judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line there no choice but to say manning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president or has 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 meaning is guilty of what he's accused what does he get what he's guilty of is telling the truth telling the truth so the american public can see what the u.s. military and state department actually are doing this trials embarrassment to the u.s. military and the united states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear of the truth is what's driving this the

prosecution. russia's own national interest will guide its actions on the global arena president medvedev spelled out the country's priorities in the year of the recent rift with the u.s. and its missile defense shield in europe which moscow says poses a threat to its security when washington fails to give written assurances that this show is not aimed at russia moscow deployed a radar system on its western most border. knew there were to be music we must not let ourselves be intimidated or confused we must clearly understand the goals we are heading for politics is a concrete thing whatever friendly relations we have if we are not being heard we will answer that's what i had to do it wasn't against obama but against the policy that the us has adopted if they continue to be rude we will respond if they hear our concerns we will work together. and in the wake of protests against this month's election results which have been held across russia the president said his

saw and heard the people's concerns but he said political changes in the country should be started from within and never be a result of outside pressure and one rally wrapped up in moscow on saturday with a turnout of some one and a half thousand supporters of the yabloko party which didn't make it past seven percent threshold it needed to win seats in the state duma moscow's block near square where they gathered became the focal point for protesters last week when tens of thousands converged to voice their dissatisfaction with the poll results and on our website dot com you'll find for analysis of all the post-election events so i thought exclusive videos photo galleries and much more. a new zealand aircraft has come to the aid of a russian fishing vessel that's been stranded in on toxic ice for two days the flies delivered fuel and other equipment to help the current search to pump out water which has been leaking into the how the ship called sparta has been hold about one and a half meters below the water line and crewmembers had to ditch cargo to reduce the

ship's weight say if they succeeded they were so it could be repaired allowing the troll it to sail out of trouble. a russian built soyuz rocket has successfully blasted off from the european spaceport in french guiana it was carrying french and chile the spy satellites into orbit french observation stations will be gathering military intelligence and providing three z. images of targets on earth while the chilean eye in the sky will mainly be used for marking farmland and it's only the second time russian rocket has 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 so use remains the only means of taking people and satellites into space. at least fifty occupy wall street protesters have been arrested after they broke into a private park in manhattan as the movement marks its third month anniversary of

the demonstrators who were victims from their zuccotti park headquarters last known as a time to set up a new camp in the city's door to park activists ripped holes in the fence around the private grounds and used ladders to climb inside these. protesters claiming that the occupiers had not got permission to enter the park were turning violent. and more into information go to our web page at all to see underscore calm and our correspondent and the security that was witnessing their arrests in new york has the latest. we know now a bill being debated by the u.s. congress to stop online piracy it could mean that you start a websense ship in america according to critics of the proposal internet activist irish wall says 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 to 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 that 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 shut 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. so freedom of speech often means that and much of the mainstream media and they can also have a freedom in terms of accuracy with the facts and very often it's president in new york people that whether that time to a subjective view of things. 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 no. you're going to listen to them all and make up your own mark in the u.k. is 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 obvious possible

for anybody so why would we expect a news organization to be unbiased because they're professionals who journalists there's a job but they're still human. well they have a lot of stuff you either read or the news is untrue and a lot of it isn't that a shame that the news would be untrue. it is but the thing is it sells papers and it sells news and people watch it people watch the channels that bother you no not at all just the way the world. believe what you want to believe do you think it would help people be more informed if news organizations admitted their bias. i think sober people wouldn't believe them and then they'd turn to 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 slant but i think it's a moniker that people have put on them. i don't there's no good. they are they are but a bit ok they should just admit it they do i think some know what their parents. orders and each person to be these experts may come in every individual has his own personal bias you get away from it maybe instead of demanding our media be less biased we just start demanding the admitting their bias and maybe the at least be accountable for the opinion they report. in more news tonight it's a massive lines triggered by an unexpected topical story told over four hundred people in the southern philippines with about two hundred missing many residents

who were asleep when the flood water tore through towns overnight after hours of torrential rain turns assassins have sought refuge in evacuation centers across several provinces. a ship carrying more than three hundred illegal migrants from the middle east has sunk off indonesia's jobber island only sixty seven people have been rescued so far and hundreds are still missing as search teams continue working on the spot. the water ship was wrecked by strong waves meanwhile local media reports that boat was carrying more than twice its capacity which they blame for the accident. israeli soldiers have killed one palestinian civilian and injured two others on the border with gaza a military patrol reportedly opened fire after hearing a large explosion aiming for what they thought was an area known for terrorist activity gaza has retaliated by launching rockets into israel no casualties are treated. and the united nations has released the assets of two libyan banks in an

effort to ease the country's financial troubles that will allow the libyan government access to billions of dollars of funds from abroad sanctions were imposed earlier this year on banks formerly controlled by the else to the leader colonel gadhafi but even economy itself it significantly after the uprising that toppled could. his regime with a lucrative oil industry venture a growing take hold. up next who had to one of russia's most restive republics and find out about the battle to stop young people from falling prey to terrorists. so darkest on often makes headlines for the wrong reasons with frequent reports of insurgency and instability high unemployment and low living standards are sometimes blamed as root causes which help feed militancy on his medical show how small. the

caucasian republic of dagestan insulted russia is one of the most volatile areas in the country group so few militants operating in this part of the caucasus are reported to have strong links with al qaida or look to draw people in when they're young and tito rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials tourism has also been doing to the lives of many innocent families across the region because of the us and 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 stands serene right as she enters the room it is the usual start of the day for the mothers of dagestan

tell us 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 forests at used them as and 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 never figured out a truce i said there was nothing bad in that but then my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real nuisance or going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never
