the armed forces took power from mubarak last february because to them they say that the ruling generals have been actually representing the old regime something they've been fighting against and something actually the revolution has been designed to get its read off but already today we have many signs indicating that these when this this new parliament the muslim brotherhood as well this is the second party didn't. actually go in. the rate we called and that's why many people who have been able to speak to here in cairo say they feel a little bit strange. in libya at least four people are dead more than a dozen injured after fighting broke out in the former khadafi stronghold bani walid fighters still loyal to the deposed leader clash with militia there this after a warning from the leader of the libya's national transitional council if there is the real threat of renewed civil war protests in the city of benghazi forced the resignation earlier of his deputy this past weekend in

a rage libyans took to the streets of the city that was the center of the opposition in the uprising against gadhafi demonstrators are now accusing the m.d.c. of corruption and a lack of reform and favoring former government low it while it looked our president the arab lawyers association tells r.t. of libya could be of a return to chaos that is the risk for two reasons the reason number one is that the still in the hands of the that it's militias that is. the differences between the tribal bases and what have you and at the same time the ideas the political views of the people in conflict you have some people who want woman rights to have more than ten percent seats and the. well at the same time you have others who saying you shouldn't have percentages women should that equal rights but no special favors for them you have a situation where people who want islam to be part of the constitution well you have the other the liberals who don't want to do that so you have

a conflict on policies as well as the availability of. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe the founder of file sharing website megaupload dot com will repaint remain in police custody after a bail hearing today in new zealand prosecutors argue that dot com who also goes by the name kim schmitz was a flight risk because he has multiple identities access to cash and a history of criminal charges u.s. authorities want to extradite dot com claiming he made nearly two hundred million dollars by copying and sharing copyrighted material he has denied the charges. two more bodies have been recovered from the capsized coast a can cordier cruise liner off italy's coast seventeen people remain missing after the ship ran aground a week ago environmental fears continue to grow as a sudden shift in the vessel could a rupture its fuel tanks are about half a million gallons of heavy fuel and hundreds of tons of diesel oil still aboard.

the u.s. is counting down to its presidential election with the republicans going through primaries to pick their candidate huge amounts of money have already been spent backing the candidates coming up later a debate on the so-called super pacs which allow unlimited campaign spending but is opposed by many americans take a look. at the law says that they can't coordinate with the super pac and now you're criticizing them for a hearing to the stupid law that you're insisting upon but they are coordinating that's our only ours coordination rules our coordination rules the n.b.a. was going to. do you believe for one second to not coordinating former staffers for a candidate and i don't probably want been coordinating but then you have a problem coordinating i don't have a problem with them coordinating this is free speech. we're getting back to one of our top stories this hour of the situation going on in egypt we're joined for more on this by ahmed sala who is in cairo with the late

thanks for joining us so our correspondent in cairo maria if an ocean has been frustrated has seen frustrated protesters marching in massive numbers to talk or square how big is the movement do you think it is and what does it suggest for egypt's future the movement is as big as ever because we unfortunately have discovered the evolution did not succeed we are still doing go to lucian. now we are almost one year after the initial part of the revolution took place two of my colleagues in my. movement. within twenty four hours one step to this not very far from here. and was accidentally hit by a car so we know very well that the revolution. we have to continue was a revolution until we get rid of the regime of hosni mubarak still survives now in

the form of a military alliance with some islamist. demonstrators have been calling on the military hunter to hand over power you're obviously among them what do you think will happen here. what will happen is what we intend to do we intend to launch another wave of the revolution starting january twenty fifth so you can see there you will scions of this and the protest of today in front of the parliament in protest. has been doing and protest of the parliament itself as an entity and demanding an end to the military rule. even if it would be in the form of handing over power to the party. we are starting again the rallies we are starting again in the protests the sit in. various parts of the country starting from wednesday and we are expecting that there will be

a lot of blood because already there was a threat from the chief of staff of armed forces who said if the prime minister mr going to. demand the use of brutal force. they will do take such orders and they will do it unlike the previous time during the. during that time. so we understand that this is a threat. several members of. different movements have received various threats of this murder including myself so it is going to be hard but we are still doing a peaceful nonviolent revolution in the form of protests rallies and sit in a last question here before the elections the muslim brotherhood was standing by the protesters recently their stance seems to have shifted you think that was part of the group strategy all along. the muslim brotherhood

didn't join the protests until january twenty eighth after three days already several people were killed the boy the security and. more were put in jail including myself was in jail with an injury as my nose was broken. and they only joined when the thought that the protests may win so unfortunately the most the muslim brotherhood always chooses the winning side under their point of view and they don't see that probably the protests is the winning side but once the see that the are going to join the protest the protesters are we have to leave it there ahmed salah political activist in cairo thanks for your insight. business news next with marina stay with us here on r.t. . i.

mitri says and his son can have such damage but it only allows them to film the landscapes. oh and this close read it's all set up i can't tell you how beautiful. the weather was right back up. this mountain crossland. this place. has declared a world heritage site. of the total area of the caucuses.

a long time ago the people of the caucuses used to shepherd droves of sheep across the a bug of lambs were often targeted by hawks even today. back to this past july. but. this is a bearded vulture. loads of this kind bigger nests on low lying logs all of thirty or forty kilometers from here. but when they go hunting for. fifty kilometers in search of food. they're interesting creatures. the above go is situated close to the great in northern slope of the caucuses mountain range from the grassland you can get a panoramic view of the mountain ridge of the caucuses nature reserve.

there is also a clear view of mt fished one of the highest points in the western caucuses the local problem let's try to get the mountains in fraying filming is best done from the highest point on the a bar go it's about nine hundred meters above sea level here dimitri is teaching a son killed how to set up for the filming. look. normal you can see that the lighting is on one side or the mist covers most of the valley. we don't want to film only the mist we need to focus on the foreground look at the grass gleaming in the sunlight and it's light of the valley is dark. so the light strip will show this shot to the best advantage. no.

the great in northern slope is a continuous chain of mountain ridges tops by snowy peaks millions of years ago there was a vast sea in this place the smallest part of it the black sea is now hidden behind mountain ridges they form a shield in the way of warm breezes blowing from the sea the warm air creates a sub tropical climate in the foothills of the southern slope of the greater caucus's ridge there is a moderate zone further upslope the kingdom of eternal snow and ice on the mountain tops is more than three thousand metres above sea level. which is the. i'm going to film these magnificent landscapes we never know in order to show them. to the hundreds of people who never ventured here. or were either because they have no time. when you go because they don't understand the meaning of

nature. or. amount to go lies side by side with the pass translated from the cassie and language means the mountain of caucasian goats the reserve is the only habitat of western caucasian goats in the wild here they don't move about very much a small herd might well stay for decades in the same area high in the mountains one thousand nine hundred metres. the only trail leading across the past begins in the embargo grassland. caucuses reserve ranges often use it to make rounds of the area they always do it on horseback a round trip usually takes one week. where they come across perches interests on this path is broken europe's the only way here there are rocks on one

side and a thick tangle of red and green on the other it is very difficult terrain. all . the ranges camp out in small parts and it's always cold in the mountains at night. or. shortly before dawn the metering killed head

to a small flat mountain top according to an old caucasian legend do you often meets the sunrise in the mountains lives a long and happy life. get real you can no see mode you go and you're right in that the sun will rise from behind the spit pass. we're going to choose the highest point for filming will only have ten to fifteen minutes for that. new. form.

is a mystery of the one used to it no single one is ever the same the villain in. its truly wonderful guy. the nearest settlement is far away radio is the only means of communication with human civilization. hey folks if you're listening to our movement the radio show us your hosts once again and you get to ring and look at it last term and talked about the history of the caucuses nature reserve to get you out of the small studio broadcasting the movement show is in the town of scores of kilometers away from the a bar go for schoolchildren tell locals about the caucuses reserve journalists. oversees the programs the children talk about the reserves animals surviving trees

mountaintops and rare plants. they draw on their experience as reporters and engineers working in various protected areas therefore they always fully prepared for the program when they go on there. who have then i think when people look at it and they try to imagine one place a tree saw a long time ago. as for me i always have this on the county feeling that my agent martin significant in front of these or inspiring giant. one of the most famous parts of the caucuses nature reserve is the growth situated

close to the black sea coast the oldest tree here is over a thousand years old. the grove has survived several generations of tourists and many natural disasters. according to scientists the greatest of them took place some eighteen million years ago. a rupture in the earth's crust created a natural labyrinth and a gorge the gorges bed was filled with water from mountain stream. this landscape has undergone no changes since then. visitors are fascinated by the mysterious origin of the grove and the agent trees there in they think of it as a living relic of the distant past. i can tell you that i really do feel mystical about it was that people rarely break the rules here they're not eager to destroy or cut things down to the bush that some people might say i'm crazy but i

honestly believe nature herself is at work here and i think this place is protected by higher forces it's. a small canyon on the outside edge of the grove mocks its natural boundary in the north the west and east in the horns of an infamous mountain river called the hostile joint where the canyon is at its most narrow the never ending war of war is a sign of its dangerous allure. then you'll love. this canyon is notorious because the water rises quickly when the snow melts or after terentia already has been with a view though that whirlpool formed just from water splashing against one side of the ravine and then against the other while the water anything that falls into the whirlpool gets sucked down to the bottom you people trying to swim will walk across and end up drowning were. there have been several deaths as

a result. we live over to me that's why this place is infamously now and i just love devil's grace in that. there are four major waterways in the coaxes reserve a river is one of the deepest which is down has been put something a small hydro power station supplies electricity to the heart's in the upper reaches of the reserves northern sector ranges stay for the night. claiming there is a. well w. bush wherever you are you can get some water from any spray or small river you're more going to get out and it's sold fit for drinking and. international rafting competitions take place on the bella river every year the

route is extreme the rapids and near impossible to clear. the world to the true science technology innovation hall the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered.

a cargo helicopter flies through a mountain gorge before it reaches the weather station and to go to good is situated in the mountains of the caucuses nature is a has an altitude of more than two thousand meters about sea level it is the optimist station in the western caucuses its total square is two hundred eighty two thousand hectares our reserve is the only one in russia that occupies the territory of three russian regions it's really unique. the director of the caucuses reserve personally i have a sees the rotation of stars and food supplies in this remote area. the helicopter rarely stops at juga for more than twenty minutes but even such

a short period of time is enough for dimitri says an anchor and his son killed to get several shots on take. most of the world's weather stations located in major cities record changes in the atmosphere resulting from industrial waste and vehicle fumes the data collected juga and similar stations is important for fundamental research into how the earth's climate changes in areas situated far away from manmade sources of pollution. now the temperature of juba is fifteen degrees above zero but a couple of days ago trees were falling to the ground under the impact of strong gusts of wind which by the way where the snow is usually one way to deep around

this time in december temperatures were unusually high in november and it may well turn out to be the warmest november in twenty five years. each day caucuses reserve staff record temperatures wind velocity humidity and amice ferric pressure . one team is on shift for two months. on its way from to go to the grand northern slope the helicopter passes by mt fished the highest point and the western ridge.
