also a movement in the country including six of the most of the most prominent revolutionary movements they include everybody not just the political groups but pretty much everybody from from from workers to students university students university professors as a matter of fact a lot of the people who are involved in this out of civil disobedience are mostly young people they're the driving force behind who were the driving force behind the . toppling of the barak last year they are not satisfied with what they've seen over the past year we can talk about the elections which took place not too long ago so they did have a chance to make their voices heard they didn't have a chance to cast a vote but again a lot of people are saying that still not everything has been achieved that a lot of their evolutionary goals the jobs the economy education and also doing away with massive corruption which was left over from the mubarak era a lot of that still has not been done it's better a fact my colleague looks at the finer points of what exactly people are trying to

achieve by continuing to states protests. around a thousand killed at least six thousand injured and even more still missing egypt's people have played high price to live in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still looms large during mubarak thirty years of mubarak's rule number of people try them under military tribunals where one to two thousand now you know within about ten months or eleven months we have twelve thousand which is of course a humongous number for a country ruled by the military the supreme council of the armed forces. that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discomforted over from who'd previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals. for. suspected.

to be thrown through a court system. or ordinary people i mean. medical records this is a better way and this is in the. hasty with no proper investigation usually with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain military trials provide no justice and violate human rights you know you have a nineteen year old getting a twenty five year old son to your centers because he had a box of molotov cocktails and people who are found guilty of killing somebody by brutally beating him up and torturing him until he died these are getting seven years in jail so i mean it there obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people are trying for absolutely no reason i mean some more just just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough to get you in trouble that's exactly what matters is his case september the time these really embassy in

cairo the place. the young screenplay writer was present and clashes between the army and demonstrators and began helping the injured arrested he was brought to military barracks after summary trial which lasted just twenty minutes he was taken straight to prison to serve almost four months for terrorists and he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. emerge in a seventy two year old he's been in the army for at least thirty years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform in this large stall and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days what father did know her son's whereabouts. when his sister came to me and said i have to talk to you i knew it was about him hoping for the best i prepared myself for the worst. a month after ahmed was relieved he now faces. another trial from the same incident at these

really embassy. go is to intimidate people the message is clear if you go to to really you'll be arrested and it makes us even stronger how is it they don't understand that the med is now working on a book he wants to tie don't you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up after being beaten and humiliated will never give up on today's actions at. the citadel in cairo egypt a medieval symbol of power and strength it was fortified centuries ago to protect the region from his enemies at that time crusades and crusaders today egypt's rulers are doing the same striving to defend themselves and to keep power with thousands in jails and dozens killed the concern here is that they may have been working too hard. riffing off knotty cairo. and over in

syria violence is escalating reports now of about more than one hundred people killed just on friday political leaders of the uprising say they expect official recognition from some arab league states later this weekend heavy fighting in the flashpoint homes and cities second city aleppo such as two twin car bombings that took at least twenty five lives responsibility was initially claimed by a senior member of the armed opposition and that was later denied by the free syrian army is chief while with no u.n. mandate to intervene in the crisis the united states is now said to be gathering a coalition of willing countries those who to prop up the opposition and palm oil pressure on damascus but some of us say intervention will be a costly mistake. in syria i think it is a matter of there are some very legitimate interest in the country of people who would like to be able to participate more in their government and i think the government has made some effort to respond they think it needs to make more of an

effort but i don't think that comes through foreign intervention it comes through indigenous processes of the people in the country if you look at any foreign intervention over the last several years you see that after the foreign intervention many more people died then could have possibly died through any type of indigenous process even one involving violence and i think that moscow and some of its allies on this matter are very wise seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and as the u.n. charter makes it very clear the use of force should only be the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict. that was talking to us earlier he's an activist an international human rights lawyer talking to us from geneva well it's good to have you with us here and still to come in the program testing. major ski resorts believe. begins its first rehearsal for the winter olympic games by staging

friday grover the plan spilled out onto the streets of athens where police used tear gas on protesters to hold ropes and firebombs a financial journalist. says the action taken by greece's leadership has nothing to do with the people. the government. the people. it's just doing what it's own interests and the people don't trust the government the government had an option we could have just said no we're not going to accept. the fault and by the way there's no reason that. an exit from the euro zone i don't see the connection other people have made that point and that's used to. say well if you don't. have the chaos of the drug. hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics because the people that are in power are bent benefit from a system where they can cooperate with the euro kratz in brussels i don't believe anyone within their right mind would think that they'd be able to to to pay those

debts back clearly there's an interest for the banks that are on the hook the european central bank is obviously bought a lot of that debt so they stand to lose but at the same time if they just keep rolling it over they're going to lose anyway i think part of this is just a function of the of the system and people just trying to you hear that expression all the time kick the can count down the road but that's something that people do all the time in their daily lives and they certainly do it in politics they just they don't want to deal with the problem now and they just would rather perk asked me and push it along and i think in many in many cases that explains a lot of what you see here. this is all to live from moscow later today in our program financial expert max keiser gives us his inimitable take on the latest business scandals. we just where we want to go. well max this first headline is the theme of the show ok it's all who walk by our alu gold bar we're all terrorists now believe in a return to the gold standard you are now officially in extremis according to the

r.t. world update it will start with the u.n. where the chief there of banki moon has called on argentina and the u.k. to avoid an escalation in tensions over the disputed islands in the run up to the thirtieth anniversary of the two countries going to war argentina's foreign minister hector timmerman has made an official complaint about the u.k.'s so-called militarize ation in the south atlantic saying it threatens all of south america he also accused britain of deploying nuclear weapons near the fulton islands which london describes as absurd. nigerian authorities have rearrested an alleged leader of the radical islamist sect in the east of the country he escaped from police custody last month after being accused of masterminding the violent christmas day bombings that killed at least forty four the militants whose aim is to establish shari'a law in nigeria killed over one hundred eighty people in a series of attacks in the city of kano last month. tens of thousands of

pro-government demonstrators have gathered across iran to mark the anniversary of the islamic revolution it comes as pressure grows on the country with sanctions piling up against the republic from western countries over its controversial nuclear program the uprising in one hundred seventy nine toppled iran's. bringing hardline islamic clerics to power. and now with the race for the white house well underway. new york resident now asking people in the big apple their views about the process and the outcome. according to some polls ron paul is now back in in the us republican presidential candidacy raised does he really have a chance this week let's talk about that do you think ron paul has a chance i personally don't buy an ad and looks weak just physically good i know

just looks like an old man and said to say it maybe his values are great and everything but. that's interesting so do you think the battle affect the way people vote that's affecting the way i have a aluminite is going to have whatever they want so do you think they're going to choose them regular that obama not a chance why not but it's just too much on the fringe for the rest of america but he has such a strong contingent among the you. for now well i'll tell you that any change he'll bring forward will be on obama's good work that's what i'll tell you that he's laying down a foundation for the next president whoever he or exactly that's my belief you know and i and i mean the strain yeah i think he's got a. section of the public the novelty of his candidacy we're off within twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office he's been over thirty with. world politics is based at the

moment i think is interesting he's a nonpolitician speaks very honestly but i don't agree with his policies so if i were living here i wouldn't vote for him no he gets more independents than both then all three candidate of the candidates so why does the media not pay attention to him because he's against the establishment he's against everything is that stands for you against. military national complex to against the federal reserve you think he has a chance. he is there are ten zero why he doesn't have the finances of he doesn't have the team necessary to put together a serious campaign. so you're just talking about how he's running not actually his policies or whether or not he'd be good for the country well if he could doesn't have the team in the money to get his message out nobody's going to hear whether or not eat think ron paul actually has a chance to become the next u.s. president the bottom line is if elected he certainly would shake things up and that seems to be something everyone is looking for.
