many police and firefighters are among the casualties. now it is of course a region of intense security risk isn't it. it is indeed gone the bomb attacks happened with alarming frequency in the region some recent examples in mid april a federal security officer was targeted in a car bomb attack there were two other separate blasts that same day and just a few days ago a bomb inside a lorry was diffused in the region islamic terror attacks would likely links to international terrorism and the anti terror operations by your priorities have been going on in the region for years and that makes this attack the latest such attack in bush's volatile north caucasus. tom bartend thanks for that update now we'll bring you more developments as they unfold. on the tragedy in dagestan here on r.t.

. still to come in the program a revolt that's reaching through the ages the engine city of aleppo largely untouched by the conflict that's tearing syria pot becomes the site of the latest bloody episode between the pro and anti assad factions. and moscow wants it reserves the right to strike back if nato as planned missile defense system in europe reaches its security but still to come this hour. to other news now america's chief diplomat is urging china to help rein in tensions over iran and north korea's nuclear activities hillary clinton is in beijing right now and said both the u.s. and china should work together to restrain appealing young from further provocation and prevent iran 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 intent of affairs after the u.s. embassy griffin shelter at a time nice dissident activist it's also irritated over washington's military buildup in the asia pacific in an apparent effort to contain time is growing regional clout dr khan holland then from the foreign policy in focus a think tank believes american policy towards china is very close to cold war rhetorical. by polar kind of relationship because in many ways our chinese are number one trade partner. and again trillions of dollars are in u.s. bonds we are all kind of locked into an international market so on one level the cooperation is trying to force us by the fact that we're so interested at the same time you get this. growing military change and you chinese are also very uncomfortable. the fact that about eighty percent of their energy supplies are

arrived by sea generally through the yellow sea those should that the energy supplies are basically controlled those waters are controlled by the u.s. fifth fleet and the u.s. seventh fleet and that makes a chinese nervous icing neither side would actually like to move to a point where there might be a potential war but the problem is if you have this military buildup sometimes mistakes happen and in this world where we're talking about nuclear weapons except mistakes can be can be very major so this concerns me i want to be concerned about the arms buildup not just between china and the united states but other asian powers as well and the kind of growing feel that this looks a lot like the cold war of the making fifty's and the one nine hundred sixty s. with their sense of trying to kind of enclosed in contain china as the united

states trying to contain russia. john nice to set up his own institute in china to study social and economic developments they see a new kind of cold war on the horizon and some of what we'll hear later this hour. are a lot of talk about multiple polar world but last century it was the soviet union us this tree to be very simple minded about 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 and calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the us and or china that there will be a bipolar world replacing a soviet union the us but on a very different basis so no more no i guess a cold war but sort of

a cold war but with the soviet union on an ideological basis with china on economic. now two of egypt's a leading presidential candidates are suspending their campaigning they blame the ruling military council for wednesday's brutal attack on protesters up to twenty people were killed and more than a hundred injured by unknown attackers sparking for the clashes the rally was supporting a disqualified ultra conservative islamist candidate seen as a one of the frontrunners before he was banned various political forces i think used only one party for orchestrating the bloodshed sarah for its looks into the chaos religious tensions have created in post-revolutionary egypt. taking phone in middle east and. this is the leading comic actor. and his satirical film the leader is just one of a number in which he's still heard that if you learned him in prison offending

islam it's a ruling that's him raging with the public but this revolution. also that was a gathering that ignites a cat face is like i was like that because i don't know if it was this was bad it was until the rest of the country was very very very right their freedom of expression and. such convictions accosting a cloud a very artistic plans actions which the great and the good of the arab media industry a quick to condemn after being banned three years until the barracks hardline parties like the muslim brotherhood and the newly created select this new look i see have gained serious political clout having won the lion's share of seats in parliament and people here in egypt. has hope.

to. be. will that new egypt look like the groups like i will it means in pleasing much strict muslim colleagues who have no problem with. this system who have our culture out of this or culture of content and out of it language and. we live in egypt so. i think the system. has to come from this culture and this culture means. many of these fishing for implementing shari'a law in egypt at least publicly that it could still be a long way off but there are already signs that change is taking place a lot of people who are currently governmental come to this for president are being very cautious about the statements that they make with the go to policy everyone is preaching moderate islamists but the same time there's an undercurrent like for instance we're going to change that you question curriculums likely we're not going

to make schools but we're going to preach religion better at schools they matter how subtle the differences may be at the moment egypt's eric cheek restraint emerging in each of them there is still see what happens right now keep the ferals the generations certainly. kyrie. researchers so here riad from the car a center for human rights says there are alarming similarities between the current under arrest and that which egypt endured before the parliamentary election. there are serious doubts within digits in public. even before the clashes have started and currently as the elections might be pushed forward the same the same concerns have been voiced recently by political different political groups and parliamentarians who were there with even rumors seeing yesterday that scout has asked for it to postpone the elections due to the current unrest in front of a privacy. nonetheless that in a press conference today have said that this is

a did these are rumors and the elections will happen in july it's important to mention in this context that during the previously before the parliamentary elections last november a similar clashes have started in mohamed mahmoud and so it's particularly interesting if we are to compare how. that erupt we need to keep immediately before elections a couple of one zero a couple of weeks before elections. now for more news ahead online to r.t. dot com where right now we're literally bringing you the why does the views how does for a shocking shots brushes what used to show the heat the heights with these it dizzying pictures posted online of all the local police weren't too thrilled. plastered hunting flocks of the phone hacking scandal plaguing rupert murdoch's news corp sees high level calls for many of his american t.v.

broadcasting licenses to be pulled. now rochelle warns it could launch a preemptive strike against the nato led to 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 i need to 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 center that the bad deadlock needs to end or else russia is going to take responsive action we've 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 a hole in 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 miss how system pose a threat to russia's national security in detail 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 korea where obama told medvedev hey. 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 that so what we're going to hear most likely as this two day summit wraps up is baby steps we're ready for a dialogue but how far both sides are willing to compromise is still very unclear. nato says the missile shield of poses no threat to russia because moscow's intercontinental ballistic missiles are too fast and too sophisticated for the planned system to intercept but paris based political analysts john laughland says it's not convincing enough i find it pretty rich actually that the american should

be saying this about their missile systems when they refuse to listen to the iranians who say that their civil civilian nuclear program is no threat whatsoever to anybody earthquakes are a matter of perception but also a reality and the fact is that as far as we know iran has no nuclear. weapons capability and doesn't plan one while the americans are planning a missile shield which although it may not be they may be telling the truth when they say it's not directed against russia the fact is it's a new weapon system and it can be presumably directed against russia in a matter of seconds. spanish police have made a number of arrests at a protest in bust the law now where european central bank chief some meeting security precautions ahead of the talks have been heavily ramped up spain even going as far as soon 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 massive protests could turn violent thousands of riot police were deployed with reinforcements on standby the e.c.b. geezer resisted calls to begin buying up spanish bonds as investors abandon the country's debt auctions instead at the urging patience over sterrett seen saying it needs time to work that as spain reels from disaster as unemployment levels and million strong austerity demonstrations this is expert johan then overt felt the editor in chief of trend magazine believes cuts will only cause more problems. the short term and even medium term results of these kinds of policies just as we have seen in greece is that the recession gets worse and that employment problems budget problems also get worse and they are absolutely not thinking in terms of larger

budget deficits to stimulate the economy now what the european central bank and mr druggy are thinking of is much more in terms of liberalization. constraint. deregulation in a lot of markets that's the way they are thinking but of course the e.c.b. can not solve the structural problems which are characteristic of this monetary european monetary union. and apparent protests against president assad at syria's aleppo university met a bloody end today leaving four dead and two hundred more arrested and verified videos of from the clashes showed troops and students together attacking the demonstrators omar 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 that are all around syrian cities major syrian

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 the syrian official army to withdraw from the cities and leave the ground for the governments or that's also making things more complicated what is required 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 syria should 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. here's a reminder of our breaking news a twin deadly blast i thought you have killed at least fifteen people and injured

more than eighty near the capital of dagestan in russia's north caucasus police say a suicide bomber detonated his car at a police traffic checkpoint and as officers attended the resulting fire a second blast went off twenty minutes later bring you more details on the fatal bombings in darkness stan as they come in. in the meantime here on our teaching is a big economy is just one of the factors which have raised up the global influence rankings in recent decades up next we take a look at what else is behind the swift success.

thank you very much for being with us today it's a pleasure sir thank you for everything to china has been a mystery for scholars throughout centuries why is it such a challenge for thinkers these days up till these days everything is revealed now it's now it's still a challenge they were. still in charge well. you know first thousands of years there was such a insulated isolated place and others didn't come in and it's only been relatively

in recent years that a lot of people tried to i myself have been going there for forty four years since nine hundred sixty seven. but that's new for westerners to spend so much time there were two did before but now they're all over the place although i think the western reporting is not very good about china but there are a lot of people there and my wife and i have been going there for the last ten years and but it is still kind of a mystery is because of their language that's because it's a country now with no ideology and suddenly said there david. mystery was religion in china and i think that's true. a sense that that's the only thing that really holds everything together now and not the only thing but you know. they have that kind of reverence for their history which they know so well through through all of the dynasties and so on and which the west has always

a zero information about and that's why it's a big mystery you know regardless all the credit with china does face a major problems like gender inequality income inequality corruption and by mental issues could that undermine the growth well you know all of these problems and these these are the problems of china are talked about and written about papers and magazines and speeches all over china all the time this is totally open china says that their biggest problem is their growing inequality the growing income gap between urban and rural. and the answer your question is no because it's so so openly talked about and we monitor it with our institute in india we monitor all of the provinces and in the newspapers in all the provinces the two biggest issues that are in the pages and in the news pages are corruption and the environment

and dealing dealing with both of those these are issues that are not hidden these are the most talked about face in china and the leadership the broad china this for years and leadership you have to imagine can and can continue to deal with those problems or you can. do a little better job as it goes along now let's talk and parallelism as china is slowing growing ties with weaker asia african countries the kind of the chinese to be everything to africa and to some other countries differs greatly from what they're well. when the west was giving it was it was a government to government you know who knows what happened in the money the chinese make a deal they say here's the deal we will build you an airport we will be jewish sports stadiums and so forth and you agree to sell us oil and energy we need at market price. and it's the africans many africans describe as

a win win. range meant versus what the west has been doing with their aid programs all these years so china is absolutely connected with africa as well as as well as asia because of how smart they've been in the arrangements they have to to create win win situations for those countries say its economy only and not their will to evolve into or encourage states to build an empire you know the china china has never been an. acquisition a country to begin with but they're making their arrangements and their deals not to acquire anyone or to build an empire but to it's mostly on an economic basis to to to assure themselves of the resources that they need for the rapid growth they are experiencing and they are in our view will continue to experience

so here's what all seven people think that with this economic and military prowess china is poised to become the center of the new. world it's an ultimate lot of multiple polar world and by the way there they have been building their military but they still you know the u.s. has a military that's equal to all the other militaries of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about multi i told the world but last century it was the soviet union the us this century to be very simple minded about this century is the us and china did that by. polar that world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china and the us and people will make countries will make decisions and calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the us and or china the there will be a bipolar world placing they slowly you know the us but on

a very different basis so no knowledge. or yes a cold war but sort of a cold war with the soviet union on an ideological basis with china on economic very much thank you very much. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. and. it is to get the maximum political impact costs before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest if we want. us we want to

present. something else. see you. on. a limited. just so. this. seems. to pick. him up. to come up.

with a. chance to be soo much brighter than if you leave out some money from funds. stupid. stunts on t.v. dot com. is easy to.
