for refusing to step down for saying that they're going forth with democratic forms but most people here believe that is not the case and that is why they're calling for this massive act of civil disobedience the people who are at the at the at the source of this call are the egypt's revolution very alliance which is comprised of more than fifty political groups six of the 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 judge egypt into further poverty and disarray also the religious leaders in the country are not supporting the strike as well but students the young people who work behind this site really should along with the workers who wanted to see some real differences there are saying that things must be chasing mediately more on the why it's absence are going to strike here is michael that very 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 meet 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 wanted 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 cash that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discovered took over from who'd previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals. for. suspected killer was. thought. to be simply a court system. that ordinary people there may be. medical records this is a better way and this is in the. hasty with new propylene vestigal usually with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain michu 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 has 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 is there obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people i've tried for absolutely no reason i mean someone 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. began screenplay writer was present at 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 terrorism he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. in the emerging a seventy two year old who's been in the army for at least thirty years. it must be

hard for him to take off his uniform and this lifestyle and this was the only way they knew how to deal with problems. for several days what did know her son's whereabouts who had 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. a month after ahmed was released he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at these really embassy. they 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 will never give up until their voice has a hand in. 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. written off now t. cairo. are now turning our attention from egypt to syria within that country a draft resolution has been circulated now at the un 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 state t.v. now says that 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. killed

twenty four the free syrian army initially claimed responsibility for the times 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 coals 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 just seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and as a 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. you're watching on 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 the environmental impact and or wrecking the area around them. also a dog from ukraine becomes a worldwide part cooler legend we meet shred in just a few minutes. ten minutes past the hour here. prime

minister of greece has 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 dirty trick 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 that people don't trust the government the government had an option they 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 in greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are going to default and are going to be one of the chaos among the drachma hyperinflation disaster and. these are scare tactics the only way that they're brilliant. as with more debt so more debt exacts more interest payments exact more exact more interest payments and the end result of that is near 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 their repudiation 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 politicians made a lot of money and now the greeks have to pay because everyone someone has to pay down the line but now then they 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 on earth which is coming in from the center of athens where 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 r.t. for continued live coverage of these are 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 belts 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. 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 if 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 history in the late twentieth century i mentioned vietnam earlier. is another place where you're going to see the sad thing this was going on a vehicle with naval bombing in puerto rico and it happens in our own backyard i can 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 he and his family were exposed to while base there they

were told they have these and evidence and there are any more or there have been years before they ever even bother to test their well and he's not alone one in ten americans live near military brown's side are something some superfund site because military bases that extreme and putting in not only radioactive pollution also you know jet fuel was how's this able to happen. 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 environmentally 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 fridge 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 our very own 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 ron paul has a chance i personally don't buy into that and looks weak just physically don't know just looks like an old man and said to say it maybe his values agree on 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. praeger that obama not a chance why now it is 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 the any change he'll bring forward will be on his good work that's what i'll tell you that he's laying down a foundation for the next president whoever he is exactly that's my belief you know

and i and i mean the strain here i think he's got his. last effect on the public the novelty of his candidacy. twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office he's been o.t. but that's what. politics is based on at the moment i think is interesting is a non-politician 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. and all three candidates of the candidates so why does the media not pay attention to him because he's against the establishment he's against everything is stands for . military national complex 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 what they're 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. and you can read more about the u.s. election. dot com. so if you have a good browse around and have a look at some of the other stories you can find for example a lot more about how the cia website has become the latest victim in a series of hacker attacks from the anonymous group the software. suffering a huge crash on friday night. time how. could help delay any military strike on iran is really activists in their government again the stone offensive ahead of the queen of pop's massive gig in tel aviv in may. lot more
