police that arrest started with a strike of oil workers on friday leading to more rallies across the country because a whole sources have called for come from the demonstrators on this kind of is the central asian country for its. on the sunday afterwards managed to stop an attempt to storm of the local courthouse in nj and i was in and also attacks various attacks on police that while it's there started on friday it was a proto surround the against and beat salaries combined with some of the regions of twenty years of stan's independence and the entire thing just spiraled out of control it's not clear. what exactly triggered it but at some point the angry crowd began setting buildings on fire including state facilities clashing with police and . see that forty six buildings had been burned to the ground and as a result police had to use force including live rounds of thirty say that they have

the situation in under control they've deployed a state of emergency for the next three weeks there in accordance with the. constitution since then has been in force around sixty people have been detained and also three a russian journalists have been detained as well and they are reported to have been released also in the west of kazakhstan a group of protesters blocked our way away station including a passenger train with over three hundred people on board of thirty say that seven passenger trains and three freight trains on i would delete as a result and at around eight pm local time six pm moscow time police came in to disperse the crowd instead authorities say that a group of around fifty hooligans as we call them showed fierce resistance they said a locomotive on fire threw molotov cocktails balls at the train and at the police they moved into. a nearby do it setting things on fire there as well breaking shop

windows car windows and so on and say that at some point their actions became a threat to the lives of both the locals and of the police so they had to use force there as well in. also twelve people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds one of them died in iraq also in washington more than four hundred protesters have gathered for a protest rally but sort or fortunately everything reported to be going on peacefully but of course we will be monitoring the situation. and now back to our top story rescue teams are continuing to search for forty nine people missing after a or capsized off russia's far east coast almost twenty four hours ago and let's now cross live to asses jacob green his empathy of usenet the hellenes clear the disaster scene hello there jacob so how is the rescue operation looking this morning so far well we're just receiving reports right now that one of the ships

involved in this rescue operation and icebreaker spotted a lifeboat in the water it's going to take them about an hour to get close enough to see that actually any signs of life there this would be very crucial because these people. are of the fort would be icy cold waters for it to stand trial mountain time as you mentioned saturday twenty four hours ago so crucial if they are to find survivors that's really be on this lifeboat now or have been other this is just yes they were they found lifeboats but they were empty i want to really show how quickly this oil rig capsized and then sunk and we spoke with someone who's been involved with this whole search and rescue operation because scribed the situation. there are safety suits floating around the area but there are new people in them it

means the crew was unable to get down to the lifeboats or the bootable washed away with the flow of the water. the operation itself over the course of the night is really marred somewhat by the fact that no planes and helicopters could take part because it was too dark for them to do so and there were three ships patrolling the area but they found no more survivors of sea hopes pinned on this sighting they were receiving reports about now there's also an airplane on routes eight in the search and rescue jayco will do we know the fate of those fourteen people have been fired. people so far four of them transferred to hospital in psychology and three face further treatment but they've who are actually supposed to be in a stable and good dish and and those other ten will they remained on that boat so much they were found plucked out of the water they also said to be quite

a good condition that's why they were even transferred to the hospital for further treatment. or different reasons are being suggested as to the cause of the disaster at this particular stage. well quite a number closely about at the moment what the principle being given here is that the highly winston's highways and stormy conditions but it's a situation where the windows broke all this already the water flooded in and lead it to capsize to water over capsize and sink and they're saying estimates put is just sinking in twenty minutes and people may not have the charts that don't life vests and life boats be crucial in these freezing weather conditions there is an investigation underway imprisonment betterness spoke about wanting a full proper investigation conducted criminal proceedings have also been opened into this case and really also looking into why this boat of this oil rig was even

be towed in the first place by an ice breaker in the store we were the conditions. jake aggrieved reporting there live from seattle in the region jake of thank you very much indeed for that update and all talk to date. they go now at least ten people have been killed and hundreds injured in fresh violence in egypt since friday they protesters want to fast the transfer of power from the military to civilian authorities even their elections are underway and veteran middle east expert terry colleagues have the army's provoking anger to blame the demonstrators provided. it's an old tradition in their country to deny it all we are all watching it the whole of egypt is watching it there was one young woman in particular whose blouse had been dragged off you could see her. in a prize being cracked by police when there are other images coming out of egypt of soldiers you're an aging from the roof top of the parliament building on to

demonstrators below and this really takes one back to the colonial period in arab history and the history of that region when they were occupied by the british empire that is what they were told to do and the fact that the military is now turning on its own people. under the you want to use all of your screen of power we and the egyptian ruling elite is a sign that things are in a very serious. serious situation developing in egypt and assume the sooner our boys transfer to a civilian government an elected government the better whatever that government may be and these disgusting things that are being done to demonstrators in derry square and on its ranges by sound to create a great deal of anger people are now asking any group so what's changed i think the army is to never fully provoking this anger in order to create the impression that

the violence is coming not from them they're being defensive and that he can pretty has to be run by the military indefinitely and if that is their e-mail it's not going to work. at least fifteen civilians and six government troops have been reportedly killed in syria an arab league official say they expect that damascus will sign up to a proposal to send in an observer mission within twenty four hours the body representing arab states has given syria and ultimatum to do so by wednesday threatening otherwise to turn to the un for action this comes as russia has put forward a draft resolution on syria to the u.n. it demands that all parties immediately stop the violence and to begin dialogue but rules out foreign intervention are sanctions and it lets chris bambery says it is very strongly oppose foreign intervention but western countries are pushing for it to reinforce their position and every change. i think there must be worries that there are increasing call for foreign intervention in syria not least in the syrian

national council or body which is based both in the country and outside the country i have to say that many of those forces demonstrating in the assad regime do not share our demands for foreign intervention or indeed for the north strikes or what is happening in syria now is that what as a popular revolution our forces are moving in to try and take that all for and use it for its all in the syrian national council this body of the sea which is blood in the country no save the country is no seeing and if it would several tries iraq it was severed ties to hamas and hizbollah it would treat russia as a special relationship larger than that so it's very very good by the way it strengthen ties with qatar saudi arabia the other gulf states and with america and friends now it would seem to me an agenda to be joyous the years of people in paris . in washington and in so doing and so to rebuild and i think there is a developing difference here between for the people who have been organizing the peaceful demonstrations the uprising if you like inside syria on the grown to many

as over forces the people in the grown by and large are opposing as i understand it foreign intervention people have been organizing the demonstrations have not come up with a demand. for western intervention this is coming i think that extraneous to the movement and i think it's something we should be opposed to those forces are opposing it and then did they have said they were against the violent overthrow of the assad regime they want to see it toppled by peaceful means and i think to be applauded in that situation they don't want syria to go down the road of syria civil war. because by and said getting some much needed cash flow again after the u.n. lifted some economic sanctions while it helps the need leaders grapple with a regime change they've brought their problems elsewhere following the toppling and killing of colonel gadhafi clashes between tribal groups erupted near the capital this week the biz and your government also came under pressure from the thousands of angry protesters in benghazi where the revolt began and they want the interim

leadership to quit saying it's not doing enough to bring change and political journalist stephen brown things the country is back on the brink of civil. now are you going to see. people are very dissatisfied the way it seems are going they fought hard especially been guarded it don't do to be properly rewarded and now you're going to see the country just fall apart into different areas of warlords just like in afghanistan but i don't have the cameras in to see those people in to see or all complicit in the dark crimes they're going to stir things up so they're going to do very well again and they're probably going to try and emerge as a new rulers a new dictators of libya which is we're going to be headed for example. who has the m.t.c. was gadhafi justice minister that just made a joke of the whole council his response of for a lot of crimes in a gadhafi i don't blame these people been guys who were having no trust me and to see it all. this is r.t. and feel sick on the sour chant penetrate the weekly ex-military bradley manning appears in court for the first time accused of siphoning sensitive army data about

his supporters rally behind the singled out soldier. staying in the american courts iran and its supreme leader have been judged to have given support for al qaida is nine eleven a time the details just ahead. almost two decades of talks finally came to fruition by the end of this week with russia being accepted into the ranks of the global trade club the world trade organization being a member should free up business opportunities and positively impact on prices but has actually as maria to notion explains the warm welcome comes at a price. with all my studio a case of hard talks now over it still not clear exactly what russia's w.t.r. membership is offering the country and with most of the details a leak remains to firmly behind closed doors next producer left to try and little crystal ball gazing which. their predictions begin with agriculture two into the w t o russia had to pledge to reduce in-state support to farming we've all had

traveled to a hundred and fifty kilometers away from moscow and what we see here is a sad picture goes through it is like this one a spread all across russia and with a struggle in agriculture industry there number is only crazing thirty percent of the countries are well land currently not in use and the rough areas that cut of foreign subsidies that session will bring will only make things dramatically worse for it which is currently importing forty five percent of all food products it may soon become fifty to seventy percent local producers will be unable to compete to get out because. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow there one hundred twenty goats skiff enough fuel to produce communities of high quality cheese in town but back in the crystal ball the future doesn't look bright for wrong that mr kopper use is happening on

the may start to w t o critics say russia's making history will be unable to meet the phrase competition the accession of a tract offering a gloomy prediction that once the country's in bad lines will stop factories will shut and thousands of people will be left out of work and out of la however the predictions continue to go away with foreign investments said to be ready to rock it became a lot of gains we believe or roughly three point three percent of russian g.d.p. in. early years after accession. more like ten years with the grocer would be. eleven percent of g.d.p. departs from economic achievements the country's political image should benefit north korean part of the global body would have a vast a little strange russia has been the biggest economy not to be integrated into the w t o but after an eighteen year marathon of negotiations all the world's key

players finally come together under the same umbrella. where is an option out most go and where online at home whenever you want to catch up with what's happening in the world beyond it. is looking at this russian rocket has successfully launched from french going on are carrying a badge of satellite paper and i don't know if that will tell you who's keeping watch. of food for thought to read on our website about the turn to agreement under which north korea to suspend its controversial uranium enrichment program in exchange for u.s. food aid. the military hearing of the soldier accused of passing secret american government data to weaken leagues got underway on friday bradley manning had already spent more than a year and a half in detention the hearing is to determine whether there's enough evidence to put manning on trial if found guilty he could spend life behind bars private

manning served as an intelligence analyst in iraq and is accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic data to the whistle blowing web site and kevin zeese from the bradley manning support networks as the soldier will hardly receive a fair trial after president obama has stated that he is guilty. is not someone who is a traitor he was. documents to foreign enemies who profit from them he is accused of giving them to the media what do you do when you were allegedly were very low level documents low security and that i probably should know the loss of our documents. we're also worried that i mean we 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 buddy who is in the wagners trial from the judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line there is no choice but to say meaning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president already said he's guilty a soldier who is 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 laying the truth out 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 he united states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear the truth is what's driving this the prosecution. an american court has ruled that iran supported the nine eleven plotters and hijackers and also to new york was filed by some of the victims' families and it was settled by default because that is including iran's supreme leader went to court hearing an american activist general things the case as part of the largest smear campaign to paddle into french. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling that iran had a direct role in nine eleven i know that we have seen. in washington there's been

a campaign in new york to link iran very publicly to nine eleven on the anniversary of those attacks earlier this year there was a billboard campaign in times square with what is god's face and something along the lines of you know the silent partner of al qaeda. there's clearly a campaign right now to try to ratchet up the pressure for yet another u.s. attack on a middle eastern country and i just think this is so dangerous if you go back to when those attacks happened immediately afterward iran condemned the attacks there were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of tough broad in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. in cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taliban who. is the enemy of iran as was osama bin laden what we're seeing now is this strange self filling prophecy process and i'm worried

that this is exactly what we saw with iraq this is this is a campaign to go to war. russia's communist party held peaceful protests on sunday against the results of the parliamentary elections around three thousand people gathered in central moscow with a similar number of approaches the same speed as bad they lection saw the ruling united russia party game the majority of seats and they do or however they opposed claimed the opposition a lot of claims the voting was of rigs and demanded a new one prime minister vladimir putin said all cases of violations will be sorry investigated and cameras should be installed at polling stations to minimize fraud at future a lecture. on these but a new arms communication commission to install every polling station in the country and they were able. to use can we should be. sure that everyone can see what's happening in every station in the early gratian defraud. and let's now have a look at some other news from around the world this hour israel has completed the
