force that it was a god then i think that case if i got really mad about it like that the process that i'm not that it was under this was i think right that it wasn't for the rest of the country and the fact that for a very real price their freedom of expression in the fact that such convictions accosting a cloud a very artistic plans actions which the great in the good of the arab media industry a quick to condemn after being there and being here isn't it derek hardline parties like the muslim brotherhood and the newly created still lack this look i think could gain serious political clout having won the lion's share of seats in parliament. has hope. to be in the. rockies what will that new egypt look like the groups like hell no it means in pleasing much street misl in curried. we have no

problem with shallow sharia law is this. system so we have our culture out of this our culture content from and out of atlanta and multi-player society as we live in egypt so. i think the system and the laws have to come from this culture and this culture means. many of these implementing shari'a law in egypt and we have to clean it it could still be a long way off but there are already signs the change is taking place a lot of people who are currently governmental candidates for president are being very cautious about the statements that they make with the got the policy everyone is preaching moderate islamists but the same time there's an undercurrent like for instance we're going to change that curriculums likely we're not going to ban mic schools but we're going to preach religion better at schools they matter how settle the differences maybe it limits egypt's eric cheek restraint in making it each and

the results of what is right now keep the ferals generation serious thing. still ahead in the program the pain in spain big demonstration expected in barcelona today for a meeting of the european central bank which has been driving the deeply unpopular austerity agenda across. the cameras they're watching what's happening we'll bring you up to date in the hour also a reform on how fracking the extraction of natural gas from shale rock has caused outrage in britain with fears now about its destructive impact on the environment. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in beijing for a wide ranging strategic talks with china and her visit coming a little extremely delicate time in relations between the two countries beijing wants an apology from washington after accusing it of meddling in its internal affairs after the u.s. embassy harbored a chinese dissident activist china's also we're aetate over the american military

buildup in the asia pacific region investment from says slow and so washington give the full day doing everything. the u.s. strategy is really trying to encircle china from all the. way from japan to philippines where now and now india is so three quarters so the u.s. is calling china an expression lead in itself china sea there you have a military exercise somewhere for philippines and so that these two smaller countries can dare to challenge china so the u.s. strategy is to. give enough backing to against neighboring countries to keep china occupied so a dead child never would not have the tired to deal with are the geopolitical things. producer was only institute in china to study social economic development is this is the world is yet to see

a major standoff between washington and beijing this in fact is a quick taste of our interview with him which you can see in full in about just under twenty five minutes time in fact. they are building their military but it's still you know the u.s. has a military that equal all the other daughters of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about malta over world but last century it was a story you were. to be very simple minded about this is the u.s. and china that bipolar world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china. and people countries and calibrate their actions against what they perceive will be the responsible u.s. or china. moscow's warning it could make a preemptive strike against nato as anti missile defense shield plan for europe if

the u.s. persists in going ahead ignoring the kremlin's opposition russia's military chief the detail and concerns about the plan at the international conference in moscow with representatives from over fifty nations there he's innocent now he's got the details. missile defense has been in a deadlock for some time now between the us russia and nato and that sentiment was reiterated by russian officials are apt this summit that that deadlock needs to be resolved or russia will take responsive measures we've heard talk of preemptive strikes are pretty harsh rhetoric coming from russia that's because according to officials the lack of response that we've seen to their concerns by the u.s. and nato missile deployments really in eastern europe is no longer a plan it's well underway poland romania even as far as turkey and russia sees this as a major threat to their national security what russian officials are looking to demonstrate today is first of all information that they that they've put together through

research that proves first of all that broke states according to the u.s. and nato which they say the system is against like iran and north korea don't have the capabilities to reach europe so there's a lot of questions surrounding the goals of this system so close to russia's border they also want to demonstrate through a computer model how in fact the system does pose a threat to russia's national security in terms of details and are hoping that they will take the step in trying to convince both the u.s. and nato how much of a concern this is to russian sides and how much they need some kind of response if they're going to make any kind of headway washington continues to stress that this deployment is no way meant for directed against russia and this is something quite frankly that russia just isn't part of what they want to see and have been demanding are written legally binding guarantees that this is a defense system is not directed towards russia especially so close to its border with that said no major breakthroughs are expected it's not years let's not forget

that overnight in south korea when president obama told me that it came in their culture might attend. the lecture your of course in many countries across the globe what it seems like we're going to hear from officials as this two day summit wraps up is that there needs to be baby steps that this is a difficult issue both sides are going to push to the end to defend their interests . meeting of the european central bank in barcelona has sparked unprecedented security measures in spain reflecting public anger over savages sturdy cuts to try to deal with the country's budget deficit several border controls have been restored for the event of the authorities fearful of protests university of athens economics professor yanis varoufakis told us people have every reason he thinks to be furious too while they seem to be spent over the last few months one trillion huge financing bankrupt banks and the included below because three to

four percent. it is excusing to come to this is of states like spain like portugal like ireland like greece and to come to their assistance european union as a whole requires misanthropy conditions to be imposed upon the populations of those countries so you have a completely different attitudes by the moment because what is of your one is towards the bank a bank a school where essential in forging this crisis and they are being treated with love. and then you have the way the states like spain are being treated europe does not have the need to do from the should be there in order to avert the kind of good skate of insolvencies of states that we have been experiencing over the last couple of years. you're watching out here of course we'll bring you up to date nor later stories are twenty four seven that are c dot com look at next my scars you say see

herbert take on those they blame for being behind global financial chaos to. timothy geithner you can't legislate away stupidity or risk taking greed it was just an accident i think that the global financial markets collapsed i don't see any crime here or he has selective amnesia and he's purposefully blind to the crime in front of him he can't hear anybody out there committing crime he can't see anybody even though it's presented the evidence every single day criminality no. ambiguity about it. more left for mexico next back to the present fracking the process of extracting natural gas from rock on land has been given the go ahead in the u.k.

however the techniques causing shock waves amongst residents near those drilling sites who claim they are being properly informed of the potentially disastrous environmental impact of a bennett explains. it triggers earthquakes and could poison water supplies but fracking suggests got the green light in the u.k. a government study says the controversial gas extraction technique he's safe despite causing two tremors in the popular coastal resort of blackpool last year environmentalist's fear a smokescreen hiding the far more dangerous side effect of large scale deadly pollution what it fails to address is the fact that quakes and seismicity you know this issue's are actually a new very small fraction of the other associated problems with fracking so the report doesn't really do justice to any other aspect soltanieh says the department of energy climate change to regulating this hydraulic fracturing or fracking extracts methane gas from underground millions of gallons of water and chemicals

including hydrochloric acid pumped into a three kilometer deep well that high pressure when the rock cracks gas escapes but so too can deadly toxins and radiation previously locked in the ground this site just sixty kilometers south of london is one of many the government intends to drill and the people who live here have had no say permission has already been given for fracking to start and that's the hole that will be pumped with water at one thousand meters it's not shallower than most other fracking sites which means the risks of tremors a much higher but so too are the chances of toxic chemicals seeping into the water supply and that's the worry for residents who live nearby the fact that fracking could take place four miles from my home makes me feel very angry very disillusioned very disappointed in our legislators to things absolutely exasperated that they can even countenance sanctioning because it is an eco sidle technology

it's short term it's short sighted halfway between the capital and the coast balcombe surrounded by a network of reservoirs that provide water to much of england's densely populated south. east the fear is the toxic cocktail left by fracking will pollute supplies only a quarter of the carcinogenic chemicals pumped in actually come out again fracking has already begun america these online videos show what happens if the well casing splits taps flaming after gas leaked into the water system but britain insists it's a cleaner alternative to coal local campaigners are far from convinced we really need to be looking at how we going to move away from fossil fuels and what's happening at the moment is that the government is diverting its attention and its resources towards. energy such as nuclear and fracking that don't increase resilience and don't move as a way to reduce. the impact fracking is banned in france and bold garia because of

the euro twenty two all football championships all in all definitely this creates a very great deal of pressure on key of last friday's terrorist attacks and it also already created serious concerns about the security during the summer storm and but now the euro twenty two also become a victim of political pressure from the european union on ukraine the ukrainian leadership reacted to all these statements coming from the european union but saying that this kind of rhetoric puts the countries back in the cold war and in fact there may be right in some sense because the one of the vivid examples of a political boy called during a sporting championship sporting event was in one thousand nine hundred eighty one sixty countries refused to come to moscow for the olympic games there and then the soviet union four years later replied by not sending fourteen countries fourteen republics of the soviet union to the olympic games in los angeles certainly the situation is very very tense for ukraine and for keven particular now. well of course we're keeping a close eye on for you other world news headlines now this afternoon at least four
