rebuilding so now all of those fighting i think they're wrong must become more complicated much much more complicated than before. egypt's parliament has agreed on a panel that will write the country's new constitution and it's already stirring controversy human rights groups are calling on the military rulers to dissolve the newly elected commission saying the muslim brotherhood is trying to use the process to gain power m.p.'s agreed half the panel will be chosen from within the parliament where the brotherhood has a majority of seats. our happening exactly after a storage referendum that paved the way for a reshuffle of power in the country as it is a revolution report that hasn't yet produced the change directions had been hoping for. khalid saleman could be a poster boy for egypt's revolution young educated a t.v. talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on the two

square toppled the regime of president mubarak last year but like many others who were on the streets with him he doesn't feel things in egypt have changed for the best result. we were in against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and justice a little scarce so they were programmed lucian their actions sure they're applying the same to kony used by him or. the ruling military council or staff replaced hosni mubarak who gyptian is accused of corruption and nepotism economic mismanagement and human rights abuse but a thorough look at scarce policies unveiled the situation eerily similar if not worse now he will get supporters that are suspended with live ammunition instead of rubber bullets as was the case in the past you get labeled strikers who get referred to military tribunals or the courts in the past year you have more than thirteen thousand a gyptian citizens who are processed on military bloomers that's where you more

than what most of the you have this thirty years of the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before their evolution are now considered and see even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives in you can find the police in the street and even if they are there they don't really help any. you know it's like a kind of they are punishing the people because the idea of the revolution so they're not doing their own their or their work they don't care about what happens and deliberately neglecting. every single crime that is happening and they just don't choose to turn their back and some believe revolutionary parties choose to turn their backs on the military council squashed in good policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. and so a lot of revolutionary forces sided with the military council is totally confusing for evolutions with even more ground and ignore them in demands with. most of the

political and. fixing things not changing. a real possibility now is the revolution entering a second stage this time prompted not just by the young and the educated but by the poor and the unemployed whose numbers have been steadily rising since the military council came to power and the situation is really getting worse and i believe that these people who are really suffering nowadays because they can't even. afford to work to feed there are there are there are families and these people are really there are going to leave the sky and the wave of revolution if you're going to call it like a second wave of emotion but it's going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days that are here square is filled with vendors to the nearest sellers idle youth and a few tense but from time to time things get heated up again those who have spent their days and nights here just a little over

a year ago when the workers say their job is far from over and the revolution continues in those courts here cairo. stay with us here on archy's still to come in the program the right to life. for two u.k. academics arguing in favor of so-called after birth abortion is a leading medical journal. that constructing a problem and in many parts of the world as best is still used in homes in india triggering deadly diseases among the country's people. but first new york city police investigating death threats made against them by phone calls and over twitter it's after officers forcibly arrested more than seventy people during the latest occupy wall street protest since the start of the movement nationwide protests or face numerous cases of how these crackdowns the photons and tear gas often used to break up crowds as the movement continues so does washington's desire to silence the u.s. public according to authorities marina fortnight in this report.

it's a country that extols the virtues of liberty unlike no other. since september some six thousand seven hundred americans protesting against economic inequality and corporate greed have been arrested and silence. a police offensive aimed at crushing occupy wall street has succeeded in shattering america's blue green marketed brand of freedom but it made people realize it's the kind of devastating states our ability to be in a place of dissent in america and how to challenge that in her press that is i think people thought they were free air if a sentient creature until they tried it. in america it is a criminal offense to exercise freedom of speech and events deemed nationally significant such as presidential conventions and to be. protesting in

federal restrictions on protests while u.s. leaders can't resolve issues like national debt and. they're on the scene each when it comes to how to handle all citizens what industry to demand change and accountability. artsy new york steven kuhr lander a political and communications strategist thinks the occupy movement needs to establish a leadership to gain momentum. they don't know how to really gel there's either a piece of. this or anything else i mean i think they have to decide what they want to go after and you know my opinion they should be only for the fact that moving in congress is a number of issues the number of different people in it is real no there's no leadership there's no definable leadership really standing out and leading that. they're not they're not reaching the average american and they're not going to succeed unless they start and then find their needs and then address it.

they're not worth saving they're not that happening and that really isn't the case but stereotypes just been taken a whole lot further by two ethicists who argue that it's ok to kill babies even after the born the controversial comments were published by the oxford educated professors in a leading british medical journal they dismiss newborns as potential and not actual persons they see killing them so no different to a normal prenatal abortion but critics branded infanticide it was a speculative case and this article has been defended on the grounds of free speech but would we accept for example an article advocating that jews or blacks were not persons only potential persons and they could also be kewl those who have asked the question is a new born child any less of equal member of the human family than a member of a certain race or of one gender or the other what really is the difference the

authors of stoped unethical storm by advocating after birth abortions in all cases . even if the baby's not disabled abortions are only permitted in britain or non medical grounds during the first twenty four weeks of a pregnancy the authors of now received death threats and say they were merely making an academic discussion they refused to give an interview but it's a line the journals editors defend our job is to publish arguments and. issues so that people can in. the long run some of these issues are very complex and. example i looked agree with. the conclusions of the i would like to defend people's right to express the views and other people's right to respond to them academic discussion or not the articles prompted outrage not only amongst pro-life groups but also mothers of children with disabilities who

declined the option of abortion it was a horrific article it was horrible there definitely seems to be a trend now it to say that. in these children shouldn't be here it's not something terrible it's not awful just because it's not what you imagine it doesn't mean it's not something fantastic because having sam in our life is amazing absolutely amazing sam's a member of his local swimming club and plays football to seeing him here it's hard to believe how doctors can say his life would be a burden i think bennett see london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe a man has opened fire outside a jewish school in the french city of toulouse killing at least three people children are reported to be among those killed the gunman fled the scene on a motorbike this tragedy comes days after two uniformed soldiers and a paratrooper were shot dead in separate incidents in the same area. five

economic recovery is not going to be a surprise but also saudi arabia the biggest oil exporter is boosting its production essentially easing concerns related to overdraw as its basis tough tough sanctions over its nuclear program and the european equity markets are also a sea of red pretty much across the board the footsie is losing value as you can see there the only stock that's managing to buck the downward trend is vodafone and that's is also down as you can see now into the currencies the dollar is gaining against of the euro and the ruble is gaining against both the euro and the dollar now which naturally brings us to the russian equity markets and there are also in the red pretty big losses there as you can see this hour but it's pretty hard to stand all that negative pressure coming from all over the place especially with oil being down the biggest single factor for the russian equity markets and now let's

look at the biggest movers and did they are gazprom which as you can see is losing almost one and a half percent is very frank is shipping value but it's actually doing better than the market overall mainly because it said its plans to put on hold with the idea of offering its shares to the public in april and sol it's being punished by investors for reporting more than expected profits port twenty eleven and also for naming barry choose as its new chairman coming to replace victor beck's old bird who quit last week apparently investors don't think that he'll be as effective and russia's gazprom is expanding its partnership with european companies it plans that assets with germany's biggest oil and gas producer winter salt that's the house all the details. we don't talk about terminus the oil deposit only two clocks
