nature can give you. tens of thousands of egyptians are gathered on tahrir square to mark a year since the uprising but frustration over a lack of change clouds the celebrations. the biggest protests the fall of hosni mubarak karo as protesters once again demand they want this regime gone join me and it's now a from the egyptian capital. pledges to save the economy and create much needed jobs kick off president obama's re-election campaign in his state of the union address. and all the secrets on one show the world's top whistleblowers to get others to tell on t.v. stuff where to watch it. boil continues its climb as

a wrong threatens to hold sales to europe oil sales ahead of the embargo imposed against the country more on this in business l.t. in twenty minutes. coming to live from moscow at nine pm this is r.t. well welcome to my name's kevin ollie an autopsy. tens of thousands of egyptians are in cairo's now iconic teria square to marquee years since the uprising that toppled president mubarak but there's another reason it's a landmark day too as almost thirty years of emergency rule has been partially lifted although some key police powers will remain he's in this and now is in cairo for us. lifting of that emergency or at least partially is not going to be enough for these tens of thousands of protesters that have come to talk we are just want

to step out of the sun and give you an idea of how packed this is where is this for them is of course where it all started tons of bounds and people if not hundreds of thousands in fact talk here is back to its max hundreds of people cannot get onto the square and in fact there are reports from the egyptian health ministry it's an eighty six people were injured when one of the stages collapsed and dozens of those people were taken tough good old stuff report for now it was just on the square and it did seem like being filled very hard by people extremely frustrated extremely passionate and really sick of the fact that the what they say is their original goal for this revolution was to take down the regime and their goal is still very much just that to take down the regime they do not want the army running their country although the military rulers have made some concessions it is just not enough for these people these are most certainly people are on top here today will say the biggest protest since the fall of hosni mubarak and what we're hearing

people will not give up until this regime comes down as well my colleague maria from notion has been speaking to people and now takes a closer look at why for egyptians the revolution is still very much alive a year off to its historic revolution egypt spawn from calm protests have become a part of everyday life and no longer an event one of the revolutionists most significant achievement. we could never believe would come out and speak out like this there are several reasons for egypt's people to take out to the streets following the uprising that ousted mubarak last february the country's economy is struggling unemployment is at its highest in decades and while the newly elected islam is dominated parliament debates the country's future resentment grows against michiru and the feeling they hijacked the revolution of the news that we want them to do what the military should do it protect its citizens and neutral the country.

you know what really want to be sure that there will not destroy our lucian's achievements they betrayed us the military dominated egypt's politics since the fall of the monarchy sixty years ago some skeptics say the twenty eleven revolution did little to change this trend when mubarak toppled down people welcomed the supreme council of the armed forces to lead the transition but the initial euphoria began to fade when the military council was still in place six months later after one bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters after another claiming at least eighty lives since october there isn't any doubt left here scaf should go voices of the protesters against louder but fear is a growing as well that they may never be heard. and to scoff a scary cuz aboon arabic or army lawyers campaign they work to reveal the army's

wrongdoings between our female activists attacking field hospitals and conspiracy theories under the military council twelve thousand people have been brought to military trials that against less than two thousand in mubarak's thirty years i believe that there are life i believe that we don't want them anywhere here in this chair that's what i believe in words and that's what most of what all i know believe and the work whatever scaf claim it to leave when the new president is elected in june but if you believe the promises that once were broken so easily some also fear that the generals may stay on behind the scenes reluctance to relinquish the power they've had for decades with protests pushing them to leave though one thing is clear the fight is not yet over. r.t. cairo. well for more on the anniversary of the uprising let's now talk to live. together through the newspaper egypt independent with the telephone service so much

for taking the time to be with us one year on from egypt's revolution the same people are standing in the same square but it's supposed of course now the be a very different country just how different is it do you think. it's different in the sense that it's not unusual anymore that. tens of thousands of people could gather from different parts of the nation and i'm not just talking about the hay or square or even talking about the whole nation it's very possible now for so thousands of people to modernize and to get together in order to make unified demands no matter how this could cost in terms of repression from the authorities so they are here there is definitely a barrier of fear that has been broken ever since. january twenty seventh broke out last year egypt's emergency rule was in place for almost thirty years that's now

being lifted if only partially an end to the law was of course one of the protesters killed how significant a move is this now that it's being lifted how is it being received. on one hand it is it is a very significant decision because it showcases the military that the military council which is ruling the country in the interim is responding to mounting pressure from the revolutionaries and from the ongoing revolution in egypt however . many receive the news of the partial lifting of the emergency law as only cosmetic change because it is it exempts suggs or the so-called thugs from. from this room which means that there could still be people tried or arbitrarily detained under the emergency law if prosecutors think that they are thugs which is a very subjective thing which is which has been also

a weapon used by the military council against revolutionaries in the last throughout the last year or so there is a lot of skepticism towards this change the loudest voice of course of the new parliament now is the muslim brotherhood clearly had the most public support but do you think is going to be able to bring about the change that's needed still. it is going to be very challenging for the parliament to be able to do that there is a common acceptance that this parliament has been properly elected with the acceptance of everyone it it's also commonly believed that the elections haven't been marred by violations or fraud as previous elections did but that doesn't mean that. the most majority in the parliament are not facing a huge challenge particularly with regards to the terrier reading economy in the country which basically is the crux of the demands of the revolutionaries revolutionaries have gathered

a year back to demand social justice and this is the promise of the upcoming parliament and the challenge for them is when the us was one of the biggest supporters of former president mubarak preventing cause western allies supported egypt's revolution back in february do you think they will now continue to guard the country's policies through to the next chapter. it will be hard to believe that the u.s. would suddenly stop its relation. with egypt particularly that there is a closed organic relation with the military council now this organic relation needs to be questioned in the week of people's mounting criticism to the military institution and particularly to the opaqueness of this institution in terms of its dealings and its economy is in its relationship with the us so that doesn't mean however that the us want to remain big player in the egyptian politics at least in the interim i expect that the relation will be also at head

with the elected parliament even with its is the most majority it will just take different directions in different forums ok lynn return of magical three of egypt's independent newspaper thanks ever so much for being with us give us your thoughts. millions of new jobs manufacturing back on track war in iraq over bin ladden gone barack obama set out his stall for reelection and using the annual state of the union address to do it details now the live from washington d.c. parties lucy catherine of lucy hi. lucy craft not good to see you know the speech was full of rhetoric we're listening in earlier on promising some big changes for the better for the american people can sum it all up for us. sure a very positive speech as you mentioned set against a very dire backdrop where a record forty six million americans are now receiving food assistance some thirteen million are out of work and millions more have abandoned on the job force

all together but of course the president is as you mentioned launching his reelection campaign and talented resurgence of american manufacturing talked about the sort of the issue of fairness where every citizen will get their fair chance to live a good life to to pay their fair share including the wealthiest he sort of attack to the financial industry talking about how wall street will no longer be allowed to write its own rules announcing the new initiatives in that sense and really in some ways mirroring some of the rhetoric he seen coming out of the occupy wall street movement although whether or not this tough talk is going to translate into a realistic call a season remains to be seen of course this congress is very deadlocked and there's not a lot of initiative for the lawmakers here to pass his agenda. to the woman just. as he must have big plans for his foreign policy them. well it's quite interesting this is coming from a president who campaigned on ending america's wars abroad who spoke at length

about the u.s. declining influence abroad and completely changed his rhetoric in that regard the toughest language was reserved for iran followed by syria and china and iran the president reiterated his determination to keep iran from going nuclear talking about how the iranians are isolated how there is consensus with the u.s. in targeting iran that's not quite the case moreover he reiterated that no option is off the table this is coming at a time when some fifteen thousand u.s. troops have been deployed to that we where the u.s. special operations command has confirmed that special operations officers are operating on the ground he also was a bit more nuanced in regards to syria but he did say that. president assad will see change in the air soon and on china he did announce a new task force that will be dealing with the sort of protection economic issues that will target china the biggest laudatory remarks or of course reserved for

ending the war in afghanistan or drawing it down in iraq he mentioned that no u.s. soldiers are currently fighting on the ground there did not get into the fact that some fifteen thousand federal bureaucrats state department visors and contractors are there and of course did not go at all into the undeclared u.s. wars abroad in somalia and yemen in pakistan and of course the drone strikes that have been such a devastating part of the u.s. foreign policy when it comes to the way it's been received abroad. thank you for joining us from washington d.c. bring you some today. about the speech. for president kind of for the socialist equality party is joining us along from detroit very good evening president obama admitted the lot of challenges remain when it comes to social reforms but he said he knows how to solve these not just to let should rhetoric do you think. well first of all kevin thanks for having me today i think the most salient image that comes out of this speech last night

is the complete school arriving character of the american political system i mean tens of millions of people are suffering the worst conditions of unemployment hunger and homelessness in the united states and on a world scale there are billions of people who feel nothing but revulsion towards the militarism of the united states but on both scores the obama administration expressed nothing but its determination to continue to cut vitally needed social programs to cut wages domestically and on an international scale to wage continue the on ending wars by the united states. get more magic was promised by president obama as well he also promised a need to end what he called the quote corrosive influence of money in politics that's good news that for people who don't like what's going on in wall street and

all that wall street dominance we've seen all the troubles it's brought over the last couple years here. well of course that that's a complete fraud i mean after all the esteemed body that he was speaking before forty nine percent of congressmen are multimillionaires the average net worth of a senator is two point five six million dollars and the obama administration since coming in continuing the bailout of wall street cutting the wages of workers as done everything on behalf of wall street and they have rewarded him by making sure that his campaign has received millions and millions of dollars his top officials have been drawing directly from wall street including his last three chief of staff to the white house so this again is a is an indication that this entire political structure it's not just the democrats democrats and republicans alike are thoroughly impervious to the needs of the population they are in the pockets of the wealthiest one percent and no fundamental

change is possible in america outside of a political movement of the working class from below that's in opposition to this entire political and economic order jerome as always when you're running for office it's always good to have someone else to blame for the problems above are also blamed in the america's economic troubles on some of its competitors for not playing by the rules what do they mean by that. well this is an interesting point because you have the united states blaming china you have the united states saber rattling against syria against iran. and in reality what's happening is as the united states economy declined over the last thirty forty years it's increased its it's trade war but above all the strategy of the obama administration is to rebuild an american economy based on cheap labor that is closing the wage gap between

american workers and chinese workers and in the name of american unity in american nationalism the government and the corporations have been conducting an unrelenting attack on the wages and social benefits of the working class and that's what obama means by rebuilding it sustainable economy jerome we've only got thirty seconds your prognosis briefly as possible about his chances of winning a second term in office what's going to happen well is enormous discussed with the obama administration but he clearly has at this point the support of wall street and big business and the republicans are in great disarray and and sounding more and more extreme basically because the obama administration has stolen the republican program other social see quality party will be running in the elections our own candidate in order to fight for the building of a political and socialist movement of the working class and to fight for a fundamental restructuring of says.
