2:09 am
problem of course throughout europe jewish even in england in spain. where you have similar kinds of young people who are in serious economic difficulties a lot of them will see economy in very bad shape throughout the continent and a lot of them living in slums how do you deal with this problem. of one teenager dead in sixty eight others injured the aftermath of another riot in egypt it's been a bit chilly and football fans and rage that suspension of the club for two years. but i agree crowds on the streets with their little ties of the military only show a gas suspension itself for those people fighting the last month i saw seventy four people killed and police officers are really standing trial for hapless ulster when the addiction is blamed them for complicity in rampaging mobs turns davidson a professor of middle east history at west chester university says the country is
2:10 am
truly on the brink. t.j. you guys know and i was standing law and order actually. that has stayed being so savage that the government is not going control bihari is. going to come out of its barracks unless controlled to. very very large way and so the populace is essentially on its own and that means that unpopular decisions are made you're going to get this sort of spontaneous kind of outburst of anger and there's no you control it where is there any capacity actually prevent the reasons for it and there's no central control in egypt now. but egypt has unveiled a line up of a long way to a government panel tasked with creating
2:11 am
a modern democratic rank loose and constitution so subject to confirmation this dominated by islamists something or the group of one against just over a year since the revolution. that much has changed how dilema could be opposed to going for egypt's revolution young educated a t.v. talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on the new 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. one we were in against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and justice a lot of scarcity were program lucian their actions sure they're applying the same techniques used by. the ruling military council or staff replaced hosni mubarak who gyptian is accused of corruption and nepotism economic mismanagement
2:12 am
and human rights abuse but a thorough look at scarce policies unveiled a situation eerily similar if not worse blow you'll get proper us that that suspended would live ammunition in a sort of rubber bullets as was the case on the course you get little strikers who bitterly for two military three bureaus rather than go to records in the past year you have more than thirteen thousand egyptian citizens who got processed through military orders that's where you more than what one of did during this thirty years of wood the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before their evolution are now considered on sea even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives you can find the police in the street and even in the there they don't truly help and you know it's like a kind of they are punishing the people because the idea of the revolution so
2:13 am
they're not doing their own there or their work they don't care about what happens in and the deliberately neglecting their every single crime that is happening and they just did choose to turn their back and some believe revolutionary parties choose to turn their backs on the military council is questionable policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. and a lot of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and some leading deals in four evolutions was given more ground and ignore them in demands of the rule motion most of the political lead and rule are looking at fixing things not changing now. 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
2:14 am
work to feed there are there are there are families and these people are really they are going to leave this guy this new wave of revolution if you can call it like a second wave of lucian and what is going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days that are three squares filled with vendors there in your cellars i will youth and if you are 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 they all barrack regime say their job is far from over and the revolution continues then goes quiet see cairo. coming up we will r.t. the secret files keeping some construction workers in the u.k. out of the job. for women like this to try to convince them with the. brush that justice lawyers all of the gone with the buffalo soldier accused of executing seventeen after.

the hundreds of people rallied in turn to protest what they see as a frenzied drive for war against iraq by their own government campaigners we're seeing pressure cooker escalating to one out conflict effects of which would be disastrous for our correspondent has been watching the protest on vault. this is being first demonstration of its kind and it comes after months of increasing warwick by the israeli leadership what protesters here are saying is that israeli prime minister has his own in weeks in campaign and heart and that is what is motivating him to do the board on this big way to love a q does the one is that he sincerely believing that he is. going to mean to. destroy the iranian nuclear program yes maybe some totally crazy in this direction and recent poll suggested that some fifty eight percent of israelis are against
2:16 am
a military strike now going to manson all of this demonstration began about a week ago when an israeli couple launched a campaign online in which they posted messages of support and love for a brain your ordinary iranians respond to but they only see just so if you look at facebook and other social network sites you see it it was like israel loves iran we are not a war with the country any rainy and saying we love you as well we are not a war with anyone demonstrators are talking to say that the score by the israeli leadership is irresponsible it will only lead to large numbers of people being injured and hurt and it's not clear how or when any kind of military strike with iran will end but whether or not the israeli government will listen to the voice on the street remains to be seen policy r.t. tel aviv. he used campaign against iran that has intensified this week with human rights iran's nuclear activities now being used to justify sanctions says israel's
2:17 am
. side agreed to the cia that iran is not developing nuclear weapons. and mr historian rushton says that won't stop those who are for war. what we're seeing at the moment has been is the culmination of a long term effort to iran's owners to force the iranian government and or corner to force them into a position where they are left with an invidious choice having to steer of course it would on the one hand seeming to be bullied and giving in and appearing weak and on the other hand alone themselves to be provoked and allowing themselves to be forced into a confrontational position cripple american intelligence professionals are having their reports having burwood abused for political and or geological reasons there's a political ideological agenda in washington and tel aviv to an extent here in london as well to willfully misinterpret intelligence to slant towards

2:19 am
is frustrated at this fact the regime now has a new since like a last month until today is saying that it's doing negotiations with the demonstrators that is a that is a fallacy it's not true it's not happening i mean there were some contacts but they were not true negotiations they're just saying this for propaganda in order to calm down the international pressure in fact i just want to remind the parisian called upon the saudi army to interfere and enter with weapons and guns to to to crush the demonstrators who are it happened to be that they are a majority of shia and the regime is a minority of sunnis but that is not the reason for the conflict or there is no conflict there are just people calling for the radical form. construction workers in the u.k. are speaking out discovering files of information were being kept on them without their knowledge but able to get jobs why now seems that it's been wanted in some cases being used against them that is the recent reports. banned from
