streets to escalate. a reporter at the jerusalem post who has written extensively on the muslim brotherhood says 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 may not always of realizing that the electorate has a very different vision of how they would like their societies 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 and

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 of the country is moving towards democracy protesters threw stones and metal bars at the building breaking windows and damaging the car of m.t.c. chairman. hundreds of young men many of whom were wounded in the revolution that toppled gadhafi vented anger at the level of compensation they had received from the interim government they hoped they helped excuse me 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 west. a couple of hundred former fighters former rebel fighters storm out of it.

they used it in grenada it took a little while getting the problem in it blew out the sold out when it they complained you know probably treated properly we were what should what was the drawdown of the people were promised they would have a say in these people who have no say whatsoever everything is been secret in any in d.c. government let's face it is a puppet. government serving western interests that simply having no get interested in ordinary libyans i expect protracted violence i expect a western major media to ignore it you are with our team and still had for you this our. man is 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 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 puts out on the new york streets for that. the arab league is said to decide whether to extend its mission to syria 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 artie's firth 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 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 place it will actually follow the arab league mission in the final few days 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 he said. didn't really seem to be taking in i counted very thing this obviously couldn't have had from every single person he wanted to see in another question that's raised about this mission is whether more of these monitors were needed so what is going to be interesting moving food is whether or not this mission is now extended

because it can very divisive at the 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 mind that you have to her. who. he's been an escalation of the conflict here in the country will started off as a peaceful protest has it become increasingly to fight somebody 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 as we've had from a number of people we've been speaking to that radio is in the 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 zabadani to the west of the mascot's. furthur is sending updates on the latest developments. in her most recent post from the scene of heavy fighting sara says there is an uneasy ceasefire in place with half of the city under government rule and half controlled by the armed opposition. says that locals are very afraid that violence will erupt again. police have clashed with protesters in croatia's capital zagreb where hundreds rallied against joining the european union ahead of the country's membership referendum clashes erupted when demonstrators attempted to

take down and you flag recent surveys suggest around forty percent of the population are against joining the union patrick young from the investment consulting firm devi advisors says the anti use sentiment is easy to understand and 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 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 grind swell of support at something like forty percent easing incredible it demonstrates the fact that the political classes are completely and utterly i do talk to what the people are thinking and what the people are thinking is quite simple they've seen neighbors they've seen similar who are emerging european countries such as themselves people like slovakia slovenia is stoney are all coming into the europe european union they join the euro

zone and they find it 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 already referendum result tomorrow romania's witnessing its worst the riots and violence in the over a decade for a second week running thousands of people are on the streets demanding of the resignation of the government and the president are teased reports. things turned nasty in the streets as book or arrest. protesters had been peaceful for the past few days but now the demonstrations turn file. fighting as predicted out between police and protesters just behind me you can see

the protesters bringing up fences and now going to expect it to clash with the phillies line. they've started to throw bottles and other things at the police line and they're going to chime pushes fancies into the police line now. this is a voluntary one hope that they could avoid today but the same thing that it has broken out after all has 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 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 but we need. back and 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. bankruptcy the old affection was old hospitals school children 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 my game people for perth so we 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 moment but it being. just in stages the police are trying to move forward and clear the square with a meeting with a lot of resistance from the protesters here. 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. you are with r t and still ahead for you this hour. hungary why wait people now if you look at ways people in the u.s. get good food for free. russia has announced ambitious plans to send manned vehicles to the moon with the eventual aim of building a permanent colony rowse cosmos hopes to work in partnership with the u.s. and e.u. and with a 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 could also be a very good place to build spacecraft of course the the gravity of the moon much less than there is an earth would get see the effects that lessened 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 say they're hoping to these unmanned probes can be the first step towards perhaps setting up a permanent home on the moon. so moon bases are still

a thing of the future for now but some people are ready to believe anything laurie hardest hit the streets of new york to find out if the u.s. really is 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 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 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 side 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 tried 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 anyway even if they did put something out there you wouldn't know anyway. we don't know if. yeah but do you think common sense takes over a little bit oh yes ok we don't know that deep space but our moon you'd think we would know. so i don't ever look up there. so it seems like some people are listening to what's being said and i thinking for themselves let's just hope they can catch the much more subtle inaccuracy they're bombarded with by the media every day. in the us an increasing number of people are struggling to make meat supporting their own needs or for that matter the needs of an entire family is proving to be a growing challenge and it's important to report those who can't get food stamps

are looking down 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 i've never found that's not the size of the pizza here this is a raisin reason 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 aura. farson 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 you can see is still perfectly edible and there's no sense should be wasted thrown away. otherwise it would end up . on top of a landfill somewhere and as to me the thirty to fifty percent of us 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 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 access and so we. 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 taking more than we need and wasting it the prices of food the availability of food so yeah i guess it was why do they think there was

a sense of. injustice. 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 the first thing that you know is food so the question is. why pay for that which you can get for free or in upper nile r.t. new york. and plenty more stories available for you online twenty four seven here's a bit of what's waiting for you on our website. russia. is rounding off its u.s. tour to learn more about their triumph and poor form and to check out our arts and culture 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. now
