they take to the streets of athens to voice their protest just a few seconds ago we saw a much bit of a scuffle between demonstrators and police who were streaming this live at odds he told. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the mosque are i'm wrong reception i egyptians staging a general strike on a day of civil disobedience to mark the first anniversary of the toppling of former leader hosni mubarak they are calling for the military rulers to step down immediately accusing them of hindering reform. now reports from the iconic to risk where. if you ask those people they will tell you that really nothing has really been seized in the years since the barak has been ousted as a matter of fact there is thing that things have gotten worse because now they have to deal with the military council the scouts which is

a head of the country's government right now fully for refusing to step down for saying that they are going forth with democratic reforms but most people here believe that is not the case and that is why they're calling for this massive act of civil. sabean's the people who are at the at the source of this call are the egypt's revolution. alliance which is comprised of more than fifty political groups six of them six of them are the most probably revolutionary groups in the country a lot of them are university students for whom it is the first day of the semester and they're staging sit ins and walk outs they're not going to lectures they're not going to classes they're boycotting exams they're saying that they do want to see some real changes towards democracy in the country which they haven't seen yet they're also calling on workers for massive strikes to go on indefinitely until the military council steps down but a lot of the parties that have made it into the parliament. during the recent

elections are actually not supporting the strike primarily or we should know it's the muslim brotherhood who are saying that these are the does these calls for a massive strike are actually destructive to the country because that will only clutch egypt into further poverty and disarray also the religious leaders in the country are not supporting the strikers well but students the young people who are behind this really sit well with the workers who wanted to see some real differences there are saying that things must be chase immediately more on why it's ins are going to strike here is michael a great thing else. around a thousand killed at least six thousand injured and even more still missing egypt's people have paid a high price to leave in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still lose launch during mubarak thirty years of mubarak's rule the estimated 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 or scaf that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discomforted over from who. previously around the country are not themselves before military tribunals. for. suspected killers. the. civil court system. the ordinary people there may be. medical records this is. 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 tried for absolutely no reason i mean some 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 the israeli embassy in cairo the place. beyond screenplay writer was present and clashes between the army and demonstrators and began helping lean jered 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. in the emerge in

a seventy two year old he's been in the army for at least two years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform and this large and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days one of our did know her son's whereabouts. the mongooses 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 and . a month after ahmed was released he now faces yet 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 mad is no working on a book he wants a title you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up after been beaten and humiliated they'll never give up until their voices are harold. the citadel

in cairo egypt and 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. or if an option r.t. cairo. our now turning our attention from egypt to syria within that country a draft resolution has been circulated now at the u.n. general assembly by saudi arabia it's similar to the text vetoed in the security council last week while calling for an end to violence on all sides it lays blame primarily on the syrian authorities states even now says the gunmen have assassinated an army general in the capital damascus the first killing of a high ranking military officer since protests began amid reports of ongoing

fighting in the country the city of aleppo suffered twin blasts on friday that killed twenty four the free syrian army initially claimed responsibility for the attacks but later denied involvement and inflamed the government meanwhile syria's opposition says it expects official recognition from arab gulf states later this weekend with no u.n. mandate to intervene in the crisis the u.s. has now said to be gathering a coalition of states that are willing to support the opposition with calls even from washington to the rebels because as deborah an international human rights lawyer says intervention would 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 in which seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and there is a u.n. charter makes it very clear that the use of force should only be the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict. you're watching out c it's good to have your company today and still ahead for you this hour in the program causing tension and pollution find out about the claims that american military bases around the world are costing lives through their environmental impact and a wrecking the area around them. also a dog from ukraine becomes a worldwide part cooler legend we meet tred in just

a few minutes. ten minutes past the hour here. prime minister of greece is cleared one major hurdle on the way towards more e.u. rescue cash as his cabinet approved deep cuts needed to secure it however in the process he did lose six ministers who resigned now the plan has to be given the green light by parliament while a small right wing party has withdrawn from the coalition more conservatives are calling from early election the new dealing kluges firing fifteen thousand civil servants and lowering the minimum wage it's being pushed by e.u. leaders who have put the next one hundred thirty billion euro bailout on hold trade unions now are in the second day of the forty eight hour strike with crowds outside the parliament while on friday protesters clashed with police used tear gas in response to stones and molotov cocktails financial journalist dietrich affinis believes the greek leadership is not acting in the people's best interests. the

government's not doing what's in the people's best interests it's just doing what's in its own interests and the people don't trust the government the government had an option it could have just said no we're not going to accept these measures and will go to default and by the way there's no reason that a default has to equal an exit from the eurozone i don't see that that connection other people have made that point and that's used to intimidate the population of greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are going to default and are going to plunge the chaos of the drachma hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics the only way that they're bailing out greece with more debt so more debt exacts more interest payments exact more exact more interest payments and the end result of that is neal feudalism you get to a point where you have no there's no capital and everything you have is credits that you get from your overlords who are the banks or who are the political elite who own you basically so of course the only solution is. default bankruptcy it's to write off the debt let someone else deal with it let the banks

deal with the losses they extended the loans they had a great time making profit making fees with their with their buddies in the greek government and the greek politicians made a lot of money and now the greeks have to pay because everyone someone has to pay down the line but now they and instead of making the people that made all the money in the past pay they had a really great time you know it should be greek families and people on pensions and seven year olds and couples they can't afford to get in make money and they have to lose their living standards and not die very gracefully because people before them are kleptocrats and still are so it's actually quite outrageous. pictures here which is coming in from the center of the earth and many people continue to mass outside the greek parliament they continue to be angry. it's being debated we are streaming these events for you just a couple of moments ago we saw some of the police getting rather forceful with those demonstrators in attendance here to stay with continued live coverage of

these the austerity protests ongoing in the greek. america's mighty military presence around the world is leaving many locals with a bad taste in their mouth the pentagon is accused of causing massive and sometimes deadly pollution not just in other countries but also at home as well reports. the united states department of defense the planet's biggest polluter with hundreds of military bases around the world the department is responsible for more ways than any other company or country this is a consistent pattern of a lack of concern for the environment and for human life and of course that's something that's part of an imperial mindset the problem has persisted throughout history from nuclear testing in the pacific in the fifty's fire. to nato attacks dropping depleted uranium in libya it gets into the water table and it does damage to the kidneys and the liver is very very highly dangerous some

countries say they've had enough like japan which is pushing for the ouster of u.s. troops stationed in okinawa what looks like ninety thousand people in okinawa and thousands others across japan seems to represent people saying as they have been for quite some time that they have just had enough others suffer in silence it tends to be connected at least conceptually to environmental racism countries are being occupied and just leveled or destroyed afghanistan and iraq now libya and if you look at the history in the late twentieth century i mentioned vietnam earlier. is another place where you're going to see this happening this was going on a vehicle with naval bombing in puerto rico and it happens in our own backyard i can't please you north carolina where for three decades people bathed and drank contaminated water. only. through. veteran gerry adams mayor believes he lost his nine year old daughter to cancer

causing radioactive toxins. his family were exposed to wild base there they were told. and there is a war or i have years before they were there well and he's not alone one in ten americans live near a military site or something some superfund site because military bases extreme approaching in not only radioactive pollution also you know jet fuel how is this able to happen the entire politics is controlled by fossil fuel interests wall street interests and military interests and though the contamination is costing lives the cost to clean up the mast may be too big for the pentagon an estimated three hundred twenty billion dollars that's almost half the pentagon's budget instead the money is being spent here on wars in afghanistan and iraq and

military operations elsewhere. and in today's climate in congress the environment is not at the top of the agenda this is the most environmental house of representatives in history so far this congress the house of representatives has voted again and again to block action to address climate change to hold their fruits to reduce air and water pollution well president obama recently announced his plan to boost military presence in australia a military buildup also happening and why a province in south korea with the pentagon splurging on expanding their military reach there seems to be a little funding left to clean up existing masses around the globe and washington was wall r.t. . now with the race for the white house well underway wrong poll taking second place in the latest caucus and resident in new york asks people if they think he

has any chance of making it to the big house. 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 rand paul has chance i personally don't buy into that looks weak just physically don't 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 over aluminite is going to have whatever they want so do you think they're going to choose them. to pry given that obama not a chance why now but he'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 changes he'll bring forward will be on obama's good work.
