people will not be happy with this is not something they wanted they've been fighting for more open democratic society and not just one of these of course is expected to fact tourists which is a very important part over gyptian economy because tourists don't want to go to the country where they are forced to cover their faces and hands of course since moved in brotherhood is supporting the supreme council of armed forces that took power from mubarak last february the minister that has been the backbone. in egyptian politics since the fall of monarchy in the nineteen fifties means that the military will stay longer in power and this is of course something also again something people here in egypt are not happy with because they say they want to do the revolution in two thousand and eleven to get rid of the and they don't want another one which is a miniature dictatorship right now this is how they take the things in egypt right

now so again we can expect protests and tensions between the military and people on the streets to escalate or to use them or if emotional reporting for us now been a reporter at the drew sloan post who has written extensively on the muslim brotherhood the new egypt will be much more hostile to the west than the old regime . people have called for democracy in egypt this is the result when people call for democracy they may not always this realize that the electorate has a very different vision of how they would like their society is run then in other places such as western europe we have islamist hardline parties coming to power and it's going to be an earthquake for both egypt and for the region the muslim brotherhood has been preparing for this moment for decades they have a very thought out detailed agenda for how they wish egypt to look like and it's a very different egypt from what we've known until now it's going to be

a much more religious conservative place and much more hostile to the west meanwhile in neighboring libya around two hundred protesters stormed the building of the national transitional council's headquarters in the city of benghazi crowds have protested the slow pace the country was moving towards door democracy protesters threw stones and metal bars out of the building breaking windows and damaging the car of the m.t.c. chairman abdul hundreds of young men many of whom were wounded in the revolution that toppled gadhafi vented anger at the level of compensation they received from the interim government they helped to install the demonstrations have been raging for weeks in benghazi with protesters also demanding more transparency about how the m.t.c. is spending libyan assets radio host and author stephen leatherman believes the crowds are unhappy with the new government serving as the puppets of the last.

a couple of hundred former fighters former rebel fighters storm the isle of guy was he they used a hand grenade took a little while he ate the problem and it blew out the old about let's take a blame you know probably treated properly we were like sure laws were drawn up they were the people were promised they would have a say in these people that if you had no say whatsoever everything is been secret in any in t.c. government let's face it is a puppet. government serving western interests absolutely i mean no get interested in ordinary libyans i expect protracted violence i expect a western major media yet to ignore it and you are with r t and still head for you this hour. and not just stepping on the moon he could stay there

find out russia's latest plans for the great beyond. the media have a responsibility to guide the lemmings down a better path no i mean should have their mind of their own. we explore how ready people are to believe made up stories when you throw in a much hyped threat the president plays out on the streets of new york for that. the arab league is deciding what to do next in syria where if reports are true the violence is unabated it's rumored that the group will extend its observer mission in the country because they think the presence of monitors has reduced the crisis in some areas artie's sara first is following the situation in syria. the arab league ministers are going to be meeting to present their findings on what's been happening ok in syria and to discuss what the next me will be now the arab league mission in the country to oversee the implementation of the arab peace. syria's

government now among other things that included the release of political prisoners and the withdraw over government troops and tanks from some of the towns and cities how successful the sad league mission has been to play simple we actually followed the arab league mission in that final day here in the country now there are questions raised as to the neutrality and the credibility of the mission certainly seeing the way that they operated it couldn't the question really just how independently they were able to operate in the country although the size of the force of people we're speaking to young didn't really seem to be taking in i can't very think they obviously couldn't have had from every single person he wanted to speak in another question that's raised the question is whether more of these monitors were needed then what is going to be interesting moving forward is whether

or not this mission is now extended because it can very divisive as a response to what the people want that the hospital not some people think this really is essential to this mission continues and in fact just possibly that i was speaking to one of the former advisers to the government and indeed the previous government here in syria we can listen to his opinion on the situation now. the situation. we. know we are weakening syria if you are syrian and you like syria well there you are where you are. you have to put in your mind that you have to. go. especially seen an escalation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest that it's become increasingly to fight very if you have been on

the surge and the areas where now the government no longer have control again you've got all these different factions no one really knows anymore who have the voice of the people and i think that from the number of people we've been speaking to that really is an area of major concern. there and sending updates on the latest developments from various parts of syria. twitter stream her most recent post is from the town of zumba dhani in the southwest of the country the scene of heavy fighting sara says that there's an easy ceasefire there with half of the town under government controlled by the armed opposition and she also says that locals are very afraid that violence again. police have clashed with protesters in croatia's that capital zagreb where hundreds that rallied against joining the european union ahead of the country's membership referendum clashes erupted when demonstrators attempted to take down an e.u. flag recent surveys suggest around forty percent of the population are against

joining the union patrick young from the investment consulting firm devi advisers says the anti e.u. sentiment is easy to understand as you can see their neighbors in the bloc facing hard times. the key consideration here is that when we look at the croatian referendum there's been barely one and p. in the entire parliament who's actually been turning round of publicly saying anything against the e.u. itself so the fact that we have this amazing groundswell of support at something like forty percent easing credible it demonstrates the fact that the political classes are completely and utterly to touch with what the people are thinking and what the people are thinking is quite simple big seen neighbors they've seen similar who are emerging european countries such as themselves people like slovakia slovenia is stony up all coming into the europe european union they join the euro zone and they find the worst poisoned chalice imaginable because slovakia nurses

and pensioners are not getting paid a third of what they would get paid if they were working in greece and to add insult to injury they're actually paying money to the greeks in order to support their euro zone bailouts that's why the people in croatia are deeply concerned and that's why it's going to be a very interesting to read referendum result tomorrow romania is witnessing its worst riots and violence in over a decade for a second week running thousands of people on the streets demanding the resignation of the government and the president parties reports. things turn nasty in the streets as book or arrest. protestors had been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turned five. fighting as broken out between police and protesters just behind me you can see the protesters bringing up fences and now bit expected to clash with the police line.

they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to try and push east fantasies into the police line now. this is a voluntary one hope that they could avoid today but it seems that it has broken out after all as a fence being thrown. you earlier in the day fountains that poured into the remaining in the capital to demand the resignation of the remaining president try and assess could opposition politicians address the crowd will that change has come from all over the country means that this right has begun and it must not stop until we reach what we want what we need. some people are upset because they've lost their job service because their pension was cut and others because they're being humiliated

every day there's one thing that unites is all that we all want to say excuse to leave. but later on the mood became more militant was the bankruptcy goal the fact she was older hospitals schoolchildren the country have to walk five kilometers through the snow to school. the youth nowadays what choice do we have to go out and start to steal start migrating people for perth so we'll go to italy spain and germany to start to steal what fork we want jobs but we can see some if you look over the. i know so much in this zone that it being true. just in stages the police are trying to move forward and clear the square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the protest to see it. as the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by tear gas.

and the struggle of those seized. day and night protesters have been demanding big political change romania. but is this is anything to go by the route to reform long and hard for what tom bought. and you are with r.t. still ahead for you this hour. you're hungry why wait grab a pizza party look at ways people in the u.s. get good food for free. russia has announced an ambition ambitious plans excuse me to send unmanned vehicles to the moon with an eventual am of building a permanent colony cosmos hopes to work in partnership with the u.s. and e.u. with the permanent base offering benefits for space travel and exploration artie's peter all over the details. because most want to send first of two unmanned probes

to the surface of our nearest celeste steele neighbor and take samples bring them back to earth so they can be studied and analyzed with the hope eventually that we can set up a permanent base on the move now this all sounds very science fiction but it could very soon be science fact a moon base has been said that it could very well be a very good place to to launch spacecraft from could also be a very good place to build spacecraft to cause the the gravity of the moon much less than there is on earth we get see the effects the less and gravity or zero gravity would have on a spacecraft much more than we can ever simulate on earth hopefully lots of very exciting things that we can see coming up in the next few years there as say they're hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up a permanent home on the moon. you know if i would be one of the first people to move there i'm sure bases are still

a thing of the future but for now some people are ready to believe anything. the streets of new york to find out if the u.s. is really going to put a man on the moon to spy on iran. in the case of iran's nuclear capabilities people are quick to make judgments based on what they hear in the media but are they actually listening to what's being said this week let's talk about that do you agree with president obama's initiative to monitor iran's nuclear program from the moon. yes why i think it's important to know what's going on i do yeah why well just because of the threat to the world what is the threat specifically. our safety. we cannot. do you agree with his program. you're putting me on

you don't believe that from the moon. maybe from a satellite but i think you're putting me on would you be surprised to know that a lot of people just say by me that they agree with the program from the moon oh that wouldn't surprise me at all that people not humans are lemmings things they like to jump off cliffs doesn't the media have a responsibility to guide the lemmings down a better path no lemmings should have their mind of their own and they should be educated i mean people are watching t.v. radio internet so it's if you know even if you're looking for some going of disease you know you find so many interpretations so which one is the right. people say i saw it on the internet so i believe it's absolutely true so it's. very hard to find the right source most people just don't have the time don't have the inclination people the. to get into it if you ever tried to have a meaningful discussion with someone about politics i try every day it's pretty

pretty bad to be ever going to know where they were even if they did put something up there you wouldn't know. we don't always. hear but do you think common sense takes over a little bit oh ok we don't know because that space but our moon think we would know. so seems like some people are listening to what's being said and are thinking for themselves let's just hoping catch the much more subtle inaccuracy as they're bombarded with by the media every day. in a country with an expanding waistline there are millions in the us who are still going hungry and as artie's more important reports those who can't get food stamps are looking at every avenue for nourishment. the number of people on food stamps has

reached an all time high more and more people are going hungry one in three americans live in or near poverty and suffering hunger in this land of plenty. in this land of plenty roughly two point seven million tons of food is reportedly raised and grown each year the same country that loves so much to consume calories . also loves to waste that. doesn't look like geo and although is a dumpster diver instead of paying for food he romances through garbage bags on the streets of new york city here's another truth were tons of edible food is thrown out each night i've never found that's not a slice of the pizza here this is a raisin reason bagel the twenty seven year old musician makes his way from the bakery to the deli there's hot food here which probably comes from

a hot food bar relying on supermarket trash for his essential vitamins you know without opening the bag i can see the orange balls. and some of the greens what we and those crowding around g.o.c. is that in a country where more than forty million people struggle daily to get enough food millions of meals are literally being wasted as this food as you can see is still perfectly edible and there's no sense that it should be wasted and thrown away. otherwise it would end up. on top of a landfill somewhere and as to me the thirty to fifty percent of u.s. food produced for consumption ends up at landfills each year that comes at an annual cost of one billion dollars simultaneously food prices continue to rise leaving millions more on line at soup kitchens and ultimately searching through trash eating meat to be sure the documentary dive follows filmmaker jeremy seifert

and his friends in the back alleys and rubbish piles of los angeles as thousands of dollars worth of edible food is salvaged it's a result of our excess we are a wealthy country and we have excess and so waste is really necessarily a byproduct of excess and it's a bad habit of sort of the spoiled rich kid as it were amid america's expanding climate of food waste critics say the country's overall carelessness causes ripple effects around the world it is a global market now and our overconsumption directly impacts the hungry and the poor in other countries us taking more than we need and wasting it affects the prices of food affects the availability of food so yeah i guess that was why they make a film there was a sense of outrage at the injustice of food waste something of

a paradox society defined both by wasteful consumption and an ongoing struggle to make ends meet because my expenses are first thing that goes food so the question is. why pay for that which you can get for free. plenty of more stories available for you on line twenty four seven here's a bit of what's waiting for you on our website. rounding off its u.s. tour to learn more about the performances check out. an online. international team of scientists has suspended its study of a deadly patient of the h five n one bird flu virus find out why on our dot com.
