and head of the country's government right now for refusing to step down or saying that they're going forth with democratic forms but most people here believe that is not the case they're also calling on workers for massive strikes to go on indefinitely until the military council steps down 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 kludge 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 it this really sure along with the workers who wanted to see some real differences there are saying that things must be changed immediately more on why it's ins are going to strike here is my call that very thing else now. around a thousand killed at least six thousand injured and even more still missing egypt's people have paid a high price to live in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still

looms large during mubarak's thirty years of mubarak's rule as to make a number of people try them under military tribunals where one to two thousand now you know within about ten months or eleven miles 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 skaf that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discovered took over from who'd previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals you cannot have four. suspected killers. thought. to be simply a court system. the ordinary people i'm a big. medical records this is in zimbabwe and this is illegal 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 malt of cocktails and people who were 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 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 these really embassy in cairo the place. the young screenplay writer was present at clashes between the army and demonstrators and began helping the injured arrested but 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. to. emerge in a seventy 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 know how to deal with problems for several days what 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 worth around a month after ahmed was relieved he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at the israeli embassy. their goal 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 the matter is now working on a book he wants to title you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up

after being beaten and humiliated they'll never give up until their voices are heard 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. griffin optionality cairo. and. here's an x. that a middle east punk sake says people in the streets of cairo are frustrated with the new politics which reminds them of the era of the dictator in the dark what you see is more or less pressures on the street that very much reflects the frustration of

these protestors with the mismanagement or the management of the transitional period by the scouts i think the supreme council is willing to be followed in the end but with very strict conditions conditions that ensure that it still has reserved a means of power in terms of national security policy in terms of foreign policy in terms of legal and constitutional immunity for its leaders and in terms of the vast canonic interests and the economic empire that the medical establishment owns. a draft resolution on syria has been circulated 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 by all sides that lays blame primarily on the syrian authorities meanwhile state to be says gunmen have assassinated an army general in the congress will damascus the first killing of a high ranking military officer since protests began and had reports of ongoing

fighting in the country the city of aleppo suffered twin blasts on friday that killed twenty eight people free syrian army initially claimed responsibility for that time but later denied involvement and blames the government meanwhile syria's opposition expects official recognition from gulf states later this weekend and with no you on monday to intervene in the crisis the u.s. is now set to big gathering a coalition of states to support the opposition with calls from washington to all of the rebels in the respect from the university based in beirut as imposing a new regime in syria would lead to an even deeper crisis. it's been very well known the united states and european allies are interested in regime change in syria and they won't stop at anything that. does not deliver a different government that they hope will be more sympathetic to western interest which is quite naive really when you think about it because the people in syria are likely not going to be more sympathetic to american and israeli aggression

throughout the region the free syrian army is the armed opposition in conducting very violent acts against civilians in syria against both the government and you know innocent syrians we don't know who the body counts you know what politics people have who are killed i don't think the syrian people are really going to appreciate you know an outside exile group arming and training these people in different quote unquote democracy exercises and it's grateful to think of what could be coming next in externally. force power is the didn't really implanted in syria that is not at all representative of the people and the violence is just not going to end syria could lead into another iraq so it's just really quite devastating right now the way things are progressing. greek lucas papademos has warned of uncontrollable economic chaos of parliament does not approve a plan for fresh cuts on sunday the measures have already been adopted by the greek

companies to secure one hundred and thirty billion euro bailout from the international monetary fund and without the country could default in march some more perspective on this one i'm joined live from chicago by margaret bogan grief of the financial advisory firm a.c.m. partners barbara thank you so much indeed for your time so despite six ministers tipping down the coalition managed to clear the new cuts so how do you think the parliament will vote. well in my opinion i think the parliament will ultimately pass this and here is why frankly it's politically untenable if they don't what what happens to greece if these are scared matters are not have is that received balls that is mentally signing the country's death march now by signing in the are these austerity measures important to keep in mind that the parliament is not actually guaranteeing what's going to happen next because these measures actually go to the powers that be which then decides whether these austerity measures are

not for the bailout to go through now what's interesting about that is to vote german politicians and the finance minister have come out the past few days that greece this looks great but we still don't think that is a good not so poor as much of that has been going on in greece as much as that's making that news the thing i find most interesting is yes parliament will probably pass that if that's not a guarantee that the european union well i don't know that the new deal includes firing sixty thousand civil service and lowering the minimum wage how come this affects the already shrinking greek economy in the long term well what i think is interesting about this is firstly what you said a decrease in fifteen thousand public sector jobs a twenty two percent decrease in minimum wage i think what your first point is the much like greek economists have been saying is a shrinking the economy of poor to five percent this year think about what that means for country already on the brink of you know social not necessarily collapse

that desson definitely instability and economic ruin but certainly you know it's certainly not growing at things certainly aren't getting better a decrease of more to five percent of growth combined with us gerrity measures combined with the political pressures of the european union will definitely disrupt disrupt. getting in two thousand and twelve and even these small mcgreevey george cup and drought has its misses that just terrace he was the only way. griese despite the crisis close to his party's stand the current prime minister has been warning of tiles and in case greece is forced to default so watch options does greece really have. yes i think it's interesting i get asked this question a lot what's the third option what's the magic policy there is not reason either going to commit to last thirty measures which i and many economists argue still is not it now to guarantee that greece more de paul or it will default just sooner

rather than later a lot of people are talking about disorderly default i don't think the european union nor greece is going to allow that to occur which frankly i think the markets have been calling themselves the last six months thinking that there is a better or option i mean and i think finally what's really interesting is we keep talking about this march debt greece is going to default by march i don't know or you know they won't they can it's got thirty measures i don't think march is necessarily a hard and fast deadline but i do think that it indicates it's just a matter of problem in the markets watching you know something's going to come along something's going to get better it's just not this to drain down down down for months and years if there's not a stop which which i think you're seeing more people trying to do right now. and if greece defaults sons the eurozone plunges into chaos what could it mean for the rest of the world what would the global impact. i think that's a great question so firstly let's take a look at eastern europe because i think

a lot of people are ignoring this fact twenty two percent of romania that again is your roots think about that nearly a quarter of the banking of the major eastern european country is going through grains so it's the fault that's going to find much much of eastern europe into frankly these two recession if not pressure let's look at russia a greek default you know a shrinking european economy that means lower consumption and get gasoline the oil now looking at russia things certainly are not stable as they stand you see decreasing consumption of energy a decrease in prices you see a decrease in living standards there i think that instability continues to deepen let's take a look at the united states obviously our import numbers are going to decrease significantly putting a halt to any kind of growth we bring kidding ourselves that we have this year we have an election coming up in twenty twelve november what does that mean for us that will certainly impact here and finally let's look at china europe is china's

largest trading partner right now to china is predicting more than eight percent growth this year greece defaults the european economies finally and arguably they should have been for a while contract china's growth eight percent they have a massive demographic problem as it stands you look at that you'll see a gross instability there as well and i think what's really interesting about that is going to china is kind of a bright spot i think that's going to prove to be false in the next twelve months and also just to remind viewers zero zone countries were downgraded by american ratings agencies in january do you think there is anything to the theory that the u.s. interests by these agencies buy them causing further damage to european economic prospects to benefit american business. ok so i have spoken pretty openly that i'm not a large proponents of the rating agencies there are private groups i think there is a lot that's not necessarily i don't want to say about or but certainly not you

know economically here's the thing you know whether they did it to serve american interests or not they just observed what's actually happening think about this in march fourteen point one billion euros they can't pay their bills without this bail out by any economic structure is and that is not help the country and more importantly that the country that deserves to be put on even more severe watch so well i know i've heard a lot about you know serving american economic interests well i don't know if they really agree with the platform it's coming from i do agree with the general consensus. bogan greve of the financial advisor. thank you so much indeed it's appreciated. have run across europe against the international anti parsec cooled those people in the u.k. germany poland and the twentieth have voiced fear that the treaty would hold freedom of speech on the nato allies censorship on she's laura smith and. in line

with hundreds of thousands of people who live in europe today these people here in london behind me are demonstrating against back to the anti counterfeit trade agreement was to greenwood which would make internet service boys especially. if they used to hire or to take to these types of these activists in the streets with no more monitoring all of the kids there not to be good i mean very nice anonymous . here and not in this newsgroup or anywhere that they've got banned as we do shut down the instead they're saying no to a culture that is made to appease and stop internet censorship and one of the main objections to the actor agreement is that if we negotiate entirely in secret the same our soup. the main e.u. negotiate to resign didn't originally say that the document was secretive and undemocratic says renegotiated in secret people who are not let civil

society and they have are delighted to see your home aides and say this will affect our civil liberties this will reduce freedom of speech this will stop us from being able to comment to hold people to crank the results of the treaty is incredibly dangerous one of the main complaints about this document is it's unclear wording that it would be easy to make an intentional copyright infringement criminally liable and also criminalizes what used to be a civil offense so that means we see a lot more cases intentionally like the one of a minister used in women who shared twenty four songs on the internet and found herself liable for one and a half million dollars worth of damages eventually sixty two thousand five hundred dollars to each song that she had to share and the threat was to bork and since the threat to society suits the threat to internet service providers your experience a few chub of facebook a flicker could become very different but it's also that even innocently colectomy

to copyrighted material could actually learn in credit with criminal sanctions this is not just about the internet either it would also apply to clothes electronics and also to medicine which should make it more difficult the poor countries to buy generic own trademarked cheap drugs making it more expensive for the poorer countries to keep their people healthy basically what these people are saying is that decisions that have been made behind closed doors are fundamentally affects the economies the privacy and the civil liberties of all ordinary everyday people and the fact that it's been done in secret means that they can only assume that this isn't in their best interest. of peace of bradwell a container for the open right string who take part in the london process told us here that the treaty is biggest danger isn't giving too much but uncontrolled that interests. i think what we and the protests today more on your concerned are out is that there are some fine words about respecting fundamental principles but in

practice the very broad word or in the wording of the agreement does create some real concerns about how and where effectively handing control and power over what happens online fastidiously to private interests and that will have inevitable consequences for freedom of expression for people's privacy innovation in many of the of the benefits we enjoy from the internet when it's done through mechanisms and and treaties that are overly broad and give too much power that's too unchecked to private interests if you give businesses the power to have content taken down and have users and effectively surveilled by their and internet service providers and you're creating a system there that can be abused and where mistakes can happen and that's why it's such a dangerous agreement. on world news in brief this bahrain for these have fired tear gas stun grenades to disperse hundreds of peaceful protesters in the capital managua around two hundred people gathered at

now until the big event something they were up to the runs for the downhill world cup the fall that the riots kicked up russian president dmitry medvedev to that is not to showcase his skills skills and as dennis but also of course starts with a twenty four team such a games are in full swing. so she's been known to have warm february's in the past but not this year blizzards and temperatures well below zero may be great for some winter sports but down hill skiing you want good visibility and less snow that's already on the ground and not still falling preparing the posts in such conditions was a challenge. weather is of course a key factor and blizzards can hold us up and cause delays but it hasn't affected overall preparations in the resort it is now ready to host the world c. cup. despite bad weather delays were minimal and as the mountain skies cleared

domestic competitions began in earnest to put facilities to the test the venues here on the slopes and bridges across napoleon are undergoing the sternest examination yet the head of the two thousand and fourteen winter games for both the organizers and the athletes it's a perfect chance to fly in tune their routines ladies were the first to compete on the slopes for russia's downhill ski caught some compared the experience favorably with the two thousand and ten winter olympics in vancouver so there you are some city basically live peace here can the compared to what i signed canada except there was ice in vancouver to us which made it even more difficult but the overall conditions here are good. alexandra burke came out on the top of the competition she says smaller events like this one offer an important rehearsal people the main event in sochi. it's a chance to train morning and will have the advantage in comparison to other skiers who only come here for the olympics with thirty kilometers of new posts and world

class accommodation through organizers hope to make the test competition something gettable spectators sent athletes along but above all this experience is priceless for the salty two thousand and fourteen organizing committee that will use this competition as a dry run to give olympic preparations a boost for ski team sochi. and let's stay with the sporting fame but of a very different kind the urban adventure activity park or appeals to many two legs adrenaline junkies are. all dead ones as well with the dog and western ukraine becoming an internet sensation and has that exceed your chest. the two thousand and one french movie that came across she launched a new worldwide great the park or thousands of print kuzio worldwide took to the sixty's performing breathtaking stunts on the walls and rooftops this skill of running and jumping from one surface to another is not so hard to master. after

a few slip ups and bruises you will eventually get it right but imagine if you were doing that standing on four legs and not being as a gyle as a human being. but this ranji fellow proves nothing is impossible to tread stuff or cheer a terrier from western ukraine you may see mean looking but in fact that is extremely kind hearted and he's one of only two dogs known to the world yes. there is a dog like that in hawaii it might have appeared before to it but honestly i knew nothing about it when we started training besides that dog is much lighter in the tricks are not a spectacular. owner you've gained he had been doing park or until a knee injury ruined his career his unfulfilled dreams suddenly reincarnated in a six month old puppy for more than four years tried has been doing some amazing stuff both in urban landscapes and historic landmarks.

when he was only six months old he jumped to a cheer and from there he jumped on top of the fridge that's where he thought he had talent this reed is very energetic and sometimes they're used in dog fighters before the five years we've been doing parkway or true it has never been aggressive to anyone he hasn't forty or even borg today. it looks like a case of serious animal training just like in a circus but you get he says he has only invented a few tricks for trad believe it or not the dog makes up almost all of the moves. he finds it interesting you can. it looks like he's enjoying what he does i only coordinate on him and very often he improvises some see that i field and park or myself and i will make the dog do what i was unable to you can see for yourself nobody makes you do so when you start out with the. threats breathtaking videos have garnered millions of you tube views and earned him global recognition in their
