a line from cairo to dr thanks for being on the program one year on from the revolution many say that very little has changed the gyptian must be pretty skeptical i guess about how much has been achieved what are your thoughts about it . a lot has been achieved but there's still a lot more to be achieved most egyptians are still weary. of the supreme council of the armed forces. corruption is still there the trials or. symbols of the old regime are still ongoing and there is a general. feeling of frustration over the slow pace of change having said that on the other hand. a lot has been done and the most important achievement of course of the three and fair elections that were held in december and january parliament just have its first session in the last couple of. so it's a mixed picture on the whole to do those who were to celebrate i believe

were a bit larger than those who continue demands for a what's the significance as well dr of this lifting of emergency rule this put in place now for almost thirty years is that being seen as a major step towards meeting the protesters demands. it is a major step the word's meaning but the manner of almost all egyptians the emergency the condition of emergency the emergency laws were imposed right after the assassination of so that in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and it's been like a sword hanging everybody's neck in egypt especially those who wanted to have a syrian politics it give the extreme powers who are the police the security services and they use that in a very unwise and inability indiscriminate where against everybody there resist or show any sign of opposition will be all. everybody is relieved now that

this emergency condition has been finally of course dr there is a caviar to it isn't there the calvary having the word thuggery. and it is a very serious word. norton really norm's who these thugs. whether they are working alone or whether they are being lead to cause problems by the old regime it's the lack of security over the last year the condition has been improving but there's still a feeling of lack of security among many egyptians. who would welcome any effort by the government to control the security situation and of course thuggery is a very loose too and those from the from the old regime and some members of the supreme council of the armed forces they would like to describe any formal

opposition as fully on the other hand from the evolutionary side. not happy with the use of this third because most of the people who are being accused. of being throwers not most of them a lot of them actually revolution briefly so early briefly a touch sort of just now sort of but in there although egypt's military government said it will fully hand over power to the new parliament there are still very rare real fears are they that it will try to hold on to its influence how much of a concern is that for you and your fellow countrymen and women. if this is the concern for those who are used to thirty or thirty. people just people have a general lack of trust the words authority but so far i personally haven't seen any evidence or any indication that the supreme council of the armed forces wants

to hold onto power on the contrary i believe that the sooner we get rid of our the better for them they nor that there is or they are very much aware. and so far the road map has been followed to the letter there has been maybe two or three months to dilute in the general elections but promised many people from among the politicians they will hold them. there will be a fine of a civilian government under civilian president. if. he thought ok so you know so much for time to act like the dalai director of the center of a conflict analysis joining us live there on the line from cairo much appreciated we're staying on the line to cairo as well and those promise we're catching up with our correspondents and now as she's there she's in tahrir square and this so you've been reporting on this all night i bring us a flavor of what you're seeing behind you there just spoke to our guest and he said

it's a mixture of joy about this this thirty year. cloud down that's been lifted but also a lot of worry about what lays ahead in the future it is a year on since the crowds first mass there in tahrir square looking over your shoulder tonight do they have the same demands. yes indeed as we get into the night what we're seeing are these crowds more turning into celebrations and something that activists actually warned against making sure that the protesters and these rallies stay focused on what they say is the same demands they had back when they came out a year ago to push for the fall of hosni mubarak who said they want this regime to come out throughout the day now we're seeing more celebrations like i said in the night people kind of strolling around the numbers are dying but throughout the day we heard a lot of frustration a lot of passion a lot of anger i have to say i've been here several times throughout the year and this is the most intense kind of protest that we've seen and if we just look at the

numbers certainly these are the biggest protests that we've seen since the fall of hosni mubarak and what we have now in tough we are even though the numbers are dying down into the night is that this place in the center where towns have been set up and why. we're hearing is organization saying that this is it this is another city and the key now is what happens because every other city and that has happened since the fall of hosni mubarak has been violently dispersed by the military and by the police people here are saying that they will stay this time until the army lets go of power i mean what is it that the protesters are most unhappy about a year or. two when you go out and talk to a lot of them a lot of them say that in fact it's become much worse since the revolution critics say that the army has purposefully created chaos in the country which might scare people into not coming out to protest against them unemployment is tremendous now you have people who are still being tried in military trials so low it has to be

said the military rulers lifting that emergency law they have released several people that were detained and were meant to have military trials but these things are still happening a lot of people say in terms of the process we're seeing a lot more severe clamp down and what's happening is protests have become such a natural thing really it's not really an event here in egypt anymore it's something you see all the time although like i said today the biggest numbers that we've seen so it's a lot of similar kind of complaints that we're hearing about the army some of the things that we're hearing which we didn't hear under hosni mubarak is the fact that the country one needs a president that yes they now have a parliament but the parliament essential has no power that part of the met has to write a constitution but these protesters don't want that constitution to be written under military rule and mike i said people on top three are now saying they will stay until the military steps down the trees and reporting live there from tahrir square in cairo thanks so much we invite you to watch events on the egypt's tahrir square

unfolding live on our web site r.t. dot com our cameras are trained on those events are streaming you the pictures live on our website for you to catch up with whenever you'd like to. millions of new jobs manufacturing back on track the war in iraq over and been loving god now barack obama said his stall for reelection is using the annual state of the union address to do it on his lucy cuff now scott the details. 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 touted a 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 too to pay their fair share including the wealthiest sort of attack to

the financial industry talking about how wall street will no longer be allowed to write its own rules announcing some 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 realistic coliseums 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 america remains the one indispensable nation. and we assume security against those who threaten our citizens our friends and our interests 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 on 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 he also was a bit more nuanced in regards to syria but he did say that a change of the 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 the economic issues that will target china the biggest. laudatory remarks or force reserve or 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 advisors and contractors are there and of course did not go at all into the undeclared u.s. wars abroad in somalia and yemen in pockets don 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 as would you

would call good british labor of being a member of the stop the war coalition in london who told me that despite falling woods of change the address exposes the fact that a bomb has simply been continuing with the republican. i find the speech really brother strange for a country that's just gone up to sixteen trillion pounds of debts it seems to be very strange to then be presenting himself as a military power with more ambitions for greater military power around the world a speech last month of expanding u.s. military operations all over the pacific region and then his statement. iran would never possess nuclear weapons welcome me wrong i don't want to iran or anybody else to possess nuclear weapons the flotilla sent through the straits of hormuz last week was a provocation to put it mildly and i just hear the drums of war building up with obama to me is very very disappointing. the u.s. is still the biggest military power in the world. and.

inability to rein in the whole military industrial complex seems to me the is the term for another enemy they had. has not been a success they had a rock which was really a success they have lived the internal problems and. it's happening in libya so they need to look for another enemy but this one is going slowly very well choreographed build up towards the tensions with iran and now the admission that they are not going to get. a weapon must be very inconvenient but it won't stop them doing. this is r.t. live from moscow coming up keeping the business world's top tier ticking along. members of the world's economic elite had set out to tackle the eurozone debt crisis and do some business deals along the way meanwhile some of the people most

hurt by the financial crisis over the last three years are shut out of the conversation what have more coming. will. he exposed some of the world's darkest secrets and soon you'll get the chance to find that even more when the world's most famous whistle blower launches a talk show right here on our team during a songes exclusive series will premiere here in march from the world's media is already abuzz about who we are wiki leaks founder is set to interview a london correspondent laura smith's got the story. basically we knew that i thought wanted to wanted to write and host his own interview show and we made it happen the show is going to be broadcast on r.t. it's going to focus of course on us ologies favorite topic control fifty two thousand and eleven was a solid as his name became one of the most famous in the world and indeed it became a byword for for explosives control to see when he releases the biggest as a set of us the documents by his website wiki leaks he's going to be

interviewing a series of what he called iconoclasts visionaries and power inside that he's going to talk about how to shape the vision of a brighter and better tomorrow that as i say is going to be focused on r.t. and we are hoping that it will be as explosive as the release of those documents was via wiki leaks we can't see any reason why it wouldn't be hundreds of articles from all around the world local newspapers international newspapers everybody seems to be talking about this cause to twitter's fair alights with with rumors about the show's speculation about who might be interviewed by julian ourselves and of course he is a massive name but that's not the only reason why this show will be fascinating it's going to be filmed where a song has been subject to strict bail conditions things like signing in to the police station every day saying essentially under house arrest under the spell

conditions for the last four hundred fourteen days even though no charges have been filed the first episode is also going to be shot a week before his supremes court hearing to fight against his actual decision to sweden for questioning on a leg sexual assault charges so as i say no lose of rumors about what's going to go on he says going to be a new type of television of course he's no stranger to being on the other side of the interview is table i've interviewed him myself but if you want to find out exactly what's going on you're going to have to stay here on r t why live. field stay for the details that. we can't reveal at the moment that's all that's the quick but we will be having exclusive trailers and. watch this. we will i'm going to tell you the the news executive describes how the networks signed up. they were quite interesting discussions we said in our office after christmas sharing ideas about the show's possibilities and obviously it would be only channels really

right now to get our science but i think it's quite natural that his show will be on our t.v. i mean r.t. always tries to go beyond that to see other sides of any news story and the real reasons behind the news that you would see on mainstream channels when we talked to them was very calm and relaxed which you would expect of course from someone who's been under house arrest for more than four hundred days he was very full of ideas and some of them were born as we talked so i think this will be a very hard hitting show. as the world's business top brass to send some switzerland to say the financial system to stem the crisis and of course seal a few lucrative deals as well the leader of europe germany kicked off the world economic forum and let merkel once again pledge support for a united europe and the eurozone but said the major rethink was needed to lower a listers across the latest endeavors. angela merkel talking about the eurozone crisis trying to convince this room of some of the most financial elite that she's

got it under control that pretty much sums it up she took a real defensive you know let me tell you she said i realize that we're labelled as the headache for the global economy but you know i think there are more headaches to really this was to you could also see it is kind of merkel versus the bond market she was really trying to reassure markets saying if you want to attack us just know that we are promising to solve this crisis of course this is a time where we've seen euro zone bond auctions be a daily news item. has italy seen those unsustainable yields of seven percent have they seen him spike is greece going to get a deal with its leaders in order to avert this disaster of a disorderly default so these are this is all the subtext where this speech is coming from and then she gets up there to say you know fiscal solidarity integration is the solution we're promising that even if we don't promise more bailout money or more central bank action which so many of the investment community

seem to be pushing for we're trying to substitute that with this fiscal pact and a fiscal union to solve this crisis she also urged patience saying this is going to take a while but i think you know as you can see with everybody so concerned over the eurozone debt crisis patience maybe for some as well occupy davos is here of course in a year where we've seen occupy protests all over the world it's fitting that there would be one at the world economic forum davos style of course there in igloos but we've seen them have some actions protests they have them planned all week and that is their concern not being part of the conversation it's interesting because at the end of merkel's remarks she said you know the importance of davos too is to hear the input from the financial leaders and from the people that are there for politicians who then go back and make policy so i think that kind of plays to the concerns that people have about those which is that these are the world's elite that are networking and talking about these. issues these problems trying to claim that they're going to be able to solve them without their voices in the employ of

the rest of the world that they aren't the global elite so those are the concerns of occupy davos i went down and i spoke to the men and their many of the same concerns that we hear in the news about the debt crisis all the time they're valid very well informed they're concerned about debt they're concerned about. the currency system that we're living in and these are all of the issues that they haven't they don't think that it's fair that they should be decided or discussed solving now without the input as some of the people that they in fact. look more pull to come from there you can watch all the latest developments from his global financial talks as well on our web site r t v dot com while you're very we always like to plug some other stories we think you may be interested in like these big business getting one over on the politicians as a round of sanctions do little to stop western oil giants trading with a round find out the latest regarding that story ongoing of course. didn't this to google turning into big brother one of america's just put the world wide web into

impose real a push europe into a deflationary that spiral economic deterioration and a process a process of political and social disintegration will mutually reinforce each other. well those sentiments have found an echo in russia's top banker the head of the burbank hermann grass believes european policymakers should not focus on keeping all the current members in the single currency. the euro will have a say i think the situation would be improved if several countries left the single currency this is a key year for the eurozone in terms of making decisions and understanding the new reality separately on economic relations between russia and the e.u. become more closely integrated i think the current difficult situation in europe will encourage it to explore the growth potential who emerging markets like russia
