strict religious code and of course this is something 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. 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. for national reporting for us there now yakov been a reporter drew sloan post who has written extensively on the muslim brotherhood says that 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 societies run and 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. and 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 is moving towards democracy protesters threw stones and metal bars at the building breaking the windows and damaging the current and to see chairman abdul jahleel hundreds of young men many of whom were wounded in the revolution but top of khadafi vented anger at the level of compensation they received from the interim government that 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 the libyan assets radio host and author stephen london's believes the crowds are unhappy with the new government serving as puppets of the west. a couple

of hundred former fighters former rebel fighters stole look out of it in big hours eat they used in grenades took a little while gate to beat a problem in a blue out they they stole our lives they complained you know probably their name treated properly i'd do a lecture while i was would drop out they would have people were promised they would have a say in these people that if you had no say whatsoever everything has been secret in any in t.c. government let's face it is a great western serving western interest that simply having no get interested in ordinary libyans i expect protracted violence i expect a waste a major media yet to ignore it. and you are with me still ahead for you this hour. not just stepping on the moon he could actually stay there find out the russians

the latest plans for the great beyond. down a better path. of their own we explore how people are. made up stories and when you throw in a much higher threat the president is out on the new york about. the arab league is set to decide whether to extend its mission to syria amid mixed results for the observers as both sides question their effectiveness officials from the league have indicated the mission is likely to continue as the presence of monitors has reduced the level of violence in some areas. following the situation in syria. the arab league ministers 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. government now among other things that included the release of political prisoners with the government troops and tanks from some of the towns and cities how successful this five league mission has been to place it will actually follow the arab league mission 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 clued into question really just how independently they were able to operate in the country although the size of the force of people we were speaking to. didn't really seem to be taking a i can't have everything that was being said obviously couldn't have cared from every single passenger he wanted to see in another question that's raised a valid 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 i 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 advisors to the government and indeed the previous government here in syria we can listen to his opinion on the situation. the situation. taking place no weakening syria if you are syrian and you like syria. where you are. you have to put in your point that you have to. go. stephanie's been an escalation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest that it become increasingly. very if you have been on the budget

be in 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. the violence in the country has reportedly continued unabated after a rally of twelve thousand anti-government protesters in the city of example to the west of damascus parties that sarah furthur is there and sending you the latest updates and developments via her twitter stream. and her most recent post from the scene of heavy fighting sara says there's an easy ceasefire in place with half of the city under a government rule and half controlled by the armed opposition and she also says that locals are very afraid that violence will be brought up again. police have clashed with protesters in croatia is

a capital zagreb where hundreds rallied against adjoining 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 d v advisors says the anti e.u. sentiment is easy to understand as croats can see their neighbors in the block facing hard times. the key consideration here is that when we look at the croatian referendum there's been barely one and he in the entire parliament has actually been turning round 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 as stony are all coming into the europe european union they join the euro zone and they find it the worst choice and 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 already 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 of the president parties time barred reports. things turn nasty in the streets his book arrest. protesters have been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn violent.

fighting as is broken out between police and protesters just behind me you can see the protesters bringing up fences they're now going to be expected to clash with the police line here they've started to throw bottles and other things that the police line and they're going to time for seize fences 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 there's a fence being thrown. at. you earlier in the day thousands that poured into the remaining in capital to demand the resignation of the remaining president try and assess the opposition politicians address the crowd all that didn't just come from all over the country that means that this right has begun and it must not stop until we reach what we want but we need. back and some people are upset because they've lost

their job service because their pension was cut in others because they're being humiliated every day there's one thing that unites us all that we all want to say excuse to leave. but later on the mood became more militant. it bankrupts you know the fact she was older hospitals school children the country have to walk five kilometers through the snow to school that the youth nowadays what choice do we have to go out and start to steal to 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 line now some of the missiles but it being thrown. just in stages the police are trying to move forward and cleared a square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the first test to see. that

. as the crowd was broken up it revealed those affected by take us. down. and the struggle of those seized. day and night protesters have been demanding big political change in romania but is this is anything to go by the road to reform will be long and hard fought tom bot. and you are with r t still had for you this hour. hungry why wait grab a pizza to work out ways people in the us get food good food for free. russia has announced ambitions plans to send unmanned vehicles to the moon with the eventual aim of building a permanent colony was kosmos 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 oliver has the details. because most want to send first off to 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 would also be a very good place to build spacecraft of course the the gravity of the moon much less than there is a get see the effects lessen 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 i say that hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up

a permanent home on the moon. and he's peter all over there so moon bases are still a thing of the future for now but some people are ready to believe anything more hard finished hit 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. i think 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 blindly that they agree with the program from the moon oh that wouldn't surprise me at all that people not humans are lemmings well for things i 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 on this difficult yet people say i cite an 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 come people that they get into if you ever try to have a meaningful discussion with someone about politics i try every day it's pretty pretty bad to be honest you never going to know where they were even if they did put something up there you wouldn't know anyway. we don't know if. yeah 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 helping catch the much more subtle inaccuracy as they're bombarded with by the media every day. well in a country with an expanding waistline there are millions in the us who are still going hungry and as our tease report i 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 wrote midges through garbage bags on the streets of new york city here's another truth were tons of edible food is thrown out the each night i've never found that's not a slice of the pizza here this is

a raisin raisin bagel the twenty seven year old musician makes his way from the bakery to the telly there's hot food here which probably comes from a hot food bar relying on supermarket trash for his essential vitamins even without opening the bag i can see the orange. and some other green 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 thrown away. otherwise it would end up. on top of the 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 a big show or a documentary die 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 over consumption 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 the need to cut my expenses are first thing that goes food so the question is why pay for that which you can get for free. r.t. new york. plenty more stories available for you online twenty four seven there's a bit of what we've got waiting for you our website or. being off its u.s. tour to learn more about their triumphant performances check out our cultural section online plus. an international team of scientists has suspended its study of a deadly mutation of the h five n one bird flu virus find out why dot com. now
