very cautious about the statements that they make with the growth of policy everyone is preaching moderate islamists but the same time there's an undercurrent like for instance we're going to change that you can them slightly we're not going to make schools but we're going to preach religion better at schools no matter how subtle the differences may be at the moment egypt's at a key cross rate emerging it each and the results of what happens right now keep the ferals for generations sir third party kyrie. military council condemned wednesday's attack seven news conference and reaffirmed its willingness to step down after a presidential election but political activist ahmed now believes the latest violence is actually the generals as latest attempt to destabilize egypt with moves that have roots back in the revolution. they've been definitely there since day one of the revolution but this is what the military council kept calling. the third

party the party have been part of the militias the national democratic party and the state security apparatus for the past twenty years those are all of the very intense criminal records and they've been used instead. of. militias all the army itself so they're doing the dirty work for the military council they've tried already that in november and december during the parliamentary elections but it failed they trying to drive the muslim brotherhood into. that they can declare martial law and say that the muslim brotherhood is a violent violent group but they failed to do that now they're trying to do the same thing and every single time it turned against they've obviously not learned the lessons of the following mubarak's steps exactly and that's why they've managed to unify everyone again all the liberals and the brotherhood and everyone is in the

same trench right now against the military council. and elsewhere in the arab world another protest and with blood being spilled the ancient city of aleppo largely untouched by the conflict that's tearing syria part becomes the site of the latest bloody up a soda between the pro and anti assad factions. can trigger tremors and even poison water supplies but british leaders insist they'll plough on with a controversial method to extract underground camps despite the calls to residents . america's chief diplomat is origin china to help or rein in tensions over iran and north korea's nuclear activities hillary clinton's in beijing right now and said both the u.s. and china should work together to restrain pyongyang from further provocation prevent him from developing a nuclear weapon clinton's visit comes at an extremely delicate time in their

relations beijing accuses the u.s. of meddling in its internal affairs after the u.s. embassy briefly sheltered a chinese dissident activist it's also irritated over washington's military build up in meetings or something chinese experts say is aimed at distracting beijing from its own policy in the region so mean the u.s. strategy is really trying to encircle china from order. to. india three quarters so. clearly china and explosion in the south china sea there you just. used two smaller countries did two challenge try though so the u.s. strategy. enough. leverage in countries to keep china occupied so a dead child there would not have. to do with that you political feast. john they

spent or set up his own institute in china to study social and economic developments there foresee is a new kind of cold war on the horizon here some of what we'll hear about and just about twenty five minutes from now. we've heard a lot of talk about multiple polar world but last century it was in soviet union us this is actually to be very simple minded about it this century is the us and china that bipolar that world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china and the us and people will make countries will make decisions in calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the u.s. and or china that there will be a bipolar world replace thing they soviet union us but under very different bases so no more no i guess a cold war but sort of

a cold war but with the soviet union on an ideological bent basis with china on economic. if you're just joining our team it's nine minutes past the hour and russia warns it could launch a preemptive strike against the nato led defense shield planned for europe if divisions between them over the project reach a critical point the country's military chiefs have been voicing their concerns at an international conference on missile defense in moscow as any so now explains the missile defense has been in a deadlock for some time now but certainly no secret between the u.s. russia and nato and once again russian officials today reiterated the sentiment that bad deadlock needs to end or else russia is going to take response of action we heard the phrase preemptive strike this is pretty harsh rhetoric we're hearing from russia they're very serious about their their concerns their national security

concerns being taken into consideration by nato and the u.s. we also heard from officials that if some kind of compromise isn't made that they're warning of in fact another arms race so very strong words coming from russia what they're hoping to come out of this today's summit is first of all to prove that these so-called rogue states like iran and south korea which the u.s. and nato say this missile defense system which is well underway in eastern europe in poland romania even as far as turkey that russia has research and is giving basically officials details on why they believe those two countries certainly don't have the missile capabilities to reach europe so a lot of questions surrounding the goals behind this defense system so close to russia's border and also showing a computer model of why exactly this missile system poses a threat to russia's national security indeed how this is something moscow has been trying to convince the two of us through dialogue for years now washington

continues to stress that the system is not against russia like i said that it's against iran and north korea but russia just isn't convinced oh let's not forget that hot mike that we heard in south. where obama told medvedev hang in there i'll be ready to compromise after the election and of course it's an election year in a lot of countries across the globe in twenty twelve and we're still certainly understand so what we're going to hear most likely as this two day summit wraps up is baby steps we're ready for dialogue but how far both sides are willing to compromise is still very unclear. what's now go to poland a country down to host parts of america's defense system there we're joined by the vice chairman of even ski. now mr bean skeet what consequences might russia face if it ever launched a preemptive strike against the u.s. a shield planned in europe. no first of all i don't personally being.

as well as a politician we don't know all the details on the what is going on during that conference that started today in moscow and is going to be prolonged to morrow the . polish representatives of this conference this is a long story about so called. system. we are holding the agreement between the russia and usa and by and large nato will be able. to be ahead of the natural summit in chicago in eighteen days because it would be the worst case scenario if we could see for example future the preemptive strike let's say on poland particularly you know the border between poland and the russia it's equal only to two hundred ten kilometers is the border between coming in the red area and by the

way my constituency in nevada means little ski province and that border is going to be opened up sure according to polish the russian agreement for a historic. situation when it will be for the first time since the world war two the free movement of the of the people mr all right interrupt you but why is it that european states such as poland the czech republic and armenia are still moving towards this i mean don't you feel wide open to the perceived rogue states if they ever wanted to neutralize what is mainly american an american facility or the russians trying. oh this is. a long story member. of nato and it's of course very important for us given the article five of the washington treaty and. president obama decision.

from two thousand and nine. that preview. so now it's about the. far future that could be several years possible deployment of some. polish territory because this is a. welcome position in the case of the remaining of poland perhaps turkey so we it's in our vital interest i'm speaking also as a representative of the of the opposition and social democrat. to have an agreement between. us and russia because we ascend which is we being the. member of the nato but however we cannot be the victim you know what interests me and i favor. pre-emptive strikes right wouldn't you say though in that case it seems like it's warsaw is decision hosting the shield it has more to do with

security or building westwards political ties. well you know this is. between you say in the direction of iraq this. defense system is against iran and north korea now after the crash of the north korean rocket it seems that. can be excluded so it's now about iran but i've heard today that under circle to. the of state of the u.s. . allegedly according to my to my sources the information told today in moscow the u.s. is ready to offer of the gun. about this deployment

system in the sense that it's not going to be against russia so we are interested in such reaching by this agreement seems like it's taken quite a long time i mean washington still has and you said this came out today they still haven't given that cast iron a written guarantee that it won't breach its national security and so very interesting now moscow you refer to iran and north korea it does say that the idea that iran and north korea can pose a nuclear threat to europe that it's fiction do you think that is. a scholar professor but i'm not the expert dean in the military aspect or once we heard the system vote on this. has been deployed in kaliningrad area and there is a likely that. they scanned that in science. the nuclear warheads could be deploying and so this is this is

a danger to my mind that we should avoid both parties i mean both for our show and nato we should avoid. new arms race not only that we are facing the. world financial as well as economic crisis because this is a waste of money but also to increase the level of mutual understanding and the common security i just want to make. referring to political guarantee it's now russia is asking for a legal binding document but i have to say about. well this would be this would be a positive scenario to my mind. i am of the opinion that taking the consideration the approaching presidential election in the usa. this creates also a new situation and beyond that i believe i remember what set. president obama said

to me is that immediately of. next monday the power will be transferred. to the new president to. put everybody who was. remembering the words of of the immediate if i will it. transmitted to your message foreign ministerial glom onto the new i'm so sorry but that's all the time we have vice chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the polish parle parliament even ski thank you for a time. thank you very much. spanish police have made a number of arrests at a protest in barcelona where the european central bank chiefs are meeting security precautions ahead of the talks have been heavily ramped up spain even going so far as to reinstate checkpoints along its border with france to try and limit the number of demonstrators arriving from within europe the fear was that a potentially a massive protest could turn violent thousands of riot police were deployed with

reinforcements on standby the e.c.b. troops who resisted calls to begin buying up spanish bonds as investors abandon the country's debt options instead they're urging patience over all sterrett is saying it needs time to work spain reels from disastrous unemployment levels and millions strong austerity demonstrations become the most youngish role of the says he sees a glaring double standards. while they seem to be spent over the last few months one trillion euros financing bank of banks. the incredibly low interest rate of one percent. it is excusing to come to the systems of states like spain like portugal like i have them like greece and to come to their assistance the european union as a whole requires misanthropy conditions to be imposed upon the populations of those

countries so you have two completely different attitudes the more the authorities of your one is towards the bank a bank is where essential in holding this crisis and they are being treated with a glove. and then you have the way the states like spain are being treated europe does not have the need to give. should be there in order to have the kind of good skate of insolvencies of states that we have been experiencing over the last couple years coming up later today the kaiser report goes in gunning for the u.s. treasury secretary america's chief banker said in a statement that the human errors that led to the two thousand and eight crash can't be cured by lawmakers but max and stacy they beg to differ. timothy geithner you can't legislate away stupidity and risk taking greed it was just an accident i

think that the global financial markets collapsed i don't see any crime here or. selective amnesia and he's purposefully blind to the crime in front of them he can't hear anybody they're committing crimes you can't see anybody even though it's presented the evidence every single day criminality no. ambiguity about it. you're just joining our team and apparent protest against president assad at syria's aleppo university met a bloody end today leaving four dead and two hundred arrested under a five video from the clashes show troops and students together attacking the demonstrators amarna shall be a senior columnist at the newspaper in neighboring lebanon blames much of the

violence on arms proliferation. let's look at the situation in a realistic way there are some many tanks that are all around city and cities major city and cities there are gunmen you know and it's very difficult they're not very well organized so there are different groups of armed men on the streets and it's very difficult for the army decision officer army to withdraw from the cities and leave the ground for the governments or that's also in making things more complicated what is required is that is that the government would actually back down and the syrian army would withdraw the tanks from the cities and that's very difficult to implement and there are weapons being smuggled into syria last week there was a shipment of weapons that were stopped by the lebanese army on the lebanese coast and there was a huge shipment of some some heavy some high caliber weapons and this could create a lot of damage and i think that the countries surrounding city are actually make put more pressure on on stopping the smuggling of weapons to syria because

smuggling weapons to syria will only increase the violence and violence will lead to more violence and this is a vicious circle deep beneath the rolling english countryside live pockets of gas suitable for energy the trouble is getting it can be destructive and toxic to those living above the process of fracking is banned in some countries but the british government intends to drill away irrespective of public fears or the environmentalists environmental consequences here's artie's ivor bennett. 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 is despite causing two tremors in the popular coastal resort of blackpool last year environmentalist sphere a smokescreen hiding the far more dangerous side effect of large scale deadly pollution what it fails to address is the fact that earthquakes and seismicity you

know these issues 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 totally 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 side 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 is 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 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 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 bulk i'm surrounded by a network of reservoirs that provide water to much of england's densely populated. se the fear is the toxic cocktail left by fracking will pollute supplies only a quarter of the carcinogenic chemicals pumped in and 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 campaign is far from convinced we really need

to be looking at no we're 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 fracking don't increase resilience and don't move as a way to reduce or close. the impact fracking is banned in france and bold garia because of public outrage but in the current corners of england's countryside people's fears are no match for the energy giants might have been it r t sussex. there is aiming business live from moscow in the military now and the markets are still down why is that well for a lot of reasons mainly on worries about what's going on in europe because mario draghi the head of the european central bank wasn't talking about the situation in the euro zone and he said that basically the situation is becoming more uncertain and more downside risks so. it's pretty dramatic drop of around two dollars per barrel for light sweet bread in the u.s.

markets we're also seeing a batch of mixed days are coming out although mortgages there are all time low rates i mean for mortgages thirty year mortgages at the same time jobless claims have come in with a decline that's also good but the service sector has shown a slowdown and therefore we're still seeing a negative picture of them both. over in europe are trading is drawing to and with a full see up slightly down and this is. news that spain managed to place two and a half billion euros worth of. born yesterday and over here first of all currencies a year of the euro is pretty stable against the dollar but the ruble has been losing value against both currencies today on the decline in oil price and therefore the russian market also poses a second day of losses with the my six declining by one quarter of a percent of what's moving to my six gazprom despite all this negative news

especially declining oil prices it's still up one percent it was up point two percent on the disappointing first quarter results still better than the markets that profit the decline almost half in the first quarter and after as was the biggest loser of the day it was down seven percent that's as a brand. is getting closer to taking control over the russian carmaker second to that story in more detail now it's setting up a joint venture with say corp russian technology through which it will increase its stake in after vast to just over fifty percent i will be investing seven hundred fifty million dollars and had about about service partnership with international majors will help the company diversify its production line. here is the year off for. launching new cars and modernization of after us we launched a new line. together with airlines during the last six months as will launch two

new cars by the end of the year we are going to produce. and move more to brand manufacture and in one year we're going to launch. our cars as well on the same visit away. from the business for now we will be back in fifty five minutes time. good news is a good laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything.
