5:02 am
permission and with part of the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned. the use they came up with the race this response to that requirement and as you can see that is the map of montreal such offensive response is also provoked by the police action against the protesters last week a day after the law was passed they rounded up and arrested over seven hundred people in just one day it was by all accounts that we've heard of very peaceful protests but it was huge according to there is reports the number of people marching on the streets of montreal reached a porter of a million at some point even many of those who didn't care about to wish an hikes and complained about traffic even though they joined the ranks of protesters you see people from all age groups out there forty year old older people all kinds of people almost everyone who witnessed these massive protests say the canadian media are downplaying widespread is that in the police brutality because they say the

media are controlled by the government and by those who support the government. you could see how the movement has evolved over the last three months or so it actually in february when it started those are just the students of came back the first is the government ok back and those were generally very peaceful gatherings but the police feedback has been overwhelmingly oppressive and if that wasn't enough the government passed this antipolo test a lot which is then ok clearing out the protest actually fanned the flames of the movement making it so much bigger than just the student uprising. but the canadian association of university teachers was among those to condemn the law describing it as a terrible acts of mass repression to suppress dissent and canadian journalist michel boyer says the will do nothing but inspire a further unrest bill was seventy eight which is what that's it's felt
5:04 am
and its goal is to con everything down it was established by the provincial government. in canada we have a we have a charter and one of the articles in the charter is the right to protest peacefully and people and protesters now are saying is that certain provisions of this new law are infringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in shock even to retaliate even stronger we really don't know what's going to happen really until the until the government since down with the student organization so it's down to talk but kind of the southern neighbor the u.s. also witnessed on rest of its own this week at a nato summit in chicago that national leaders met to discuss the miniature lots this feature as riot police beat back thousands of protesters just a few hundred meters away a correspondent there was that. chicago
5:05 am
under siege. the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance you know with. this rally fronted by iraq and afghan war vets who feeling betrayed by the system throw away their medals. after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led wars. all hell breaks loose. like chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown on to their knees bleeding faces. one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested. these men may consider this conduct that they engaged in today unbecoming of the dignity that is demanded of them by their station hundreds and hundreds of police
5:06 am
not just in riot gear but military armor with guns and but tons that they willingly deploy on people. a day earlier a smaller but louder march also took to the streets to add to our capital. i'm sure everyone here hopes to start a revolution they're calling it the chicago spring like the arab spring. signs ripped off crowds clashed with police but times and police bikes used to block off the crowds with more blood in the chaos. with over a million dollars spent on new gear for chicago police a war breaks out with outraged americans fighting for change at home while the u.s. president is busy hosting the summit and the future of warfare abroad and stacie churkin r.t.e. chicago illinois. we're watching a roundup of today's on the week's top stories head to head feeling the program economy wobbles on its axis. of catastrophe greece leaves the eurozone as pro and

5:08 am
means any quick regime change plan is now unlikely significant so the new u.n. report is that for the first time. knowledge that there is on the side of the so-called opposition the rebel groups and the jihadists and so forth al-qaeda and the muslim brotherhood forces that are trying to create regime change so to that extent i think it's a step forward that it's not simply a one sided genocide by the assad regime washington is playing a double game on syria i think they are trying at this point damage control they failed massively in the operation that they had thought they would succeed in about a year ago the momentum of this so-called arab spring has reached to a halt. is really turned into a sunni versus shia. kind of war throughout the muslim world washington has backed off of the libya style regime change operation in syria it's time to just let the
5:09 am
syrian sort out for themselves what they want for a government in their country. syria's deputy foreign minister he says it's up to the opposition and its foreign supporters to make the first steps toward interacting a peace that you can see the full interview next hour that is a pretty. likely it is the very strong desire and determination of the syrian government from the very beginning to put an end to violence. the war is not the. government or the syrian people it is your thought of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in syria particularly those who are calling and declaring every now and then for arming these groups for always to smuggling of arms and weapons into the syrian territory from neighboring countries.
5:10 am
the fallout from the conflict in syria is being felt in neighboring lebanon street violence has been shaking the capital beirut for a second week running down the rest started following disputes between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its own white supporters. spent to locals who fear the beginnings of a new civil war. and overnight of street protests in beirut. it was sparked when thirteen lebanese pilgrims were kidnapped in syria apparently by groups linked to the syrian rebels the lebanese capital witnessed what it hadn't seen in years just who i am about here are moving to a real war between sunni and shia muslims and this is at least what i see in the last day. the reason the spillover from the chaos in neighboring syria shia muslims here generally support syria's president assad while most sunni's
5:11 am
favor the rebels likewise lebanon's ruling coalition led by the powerful share hezbollah is process while the opposition backs the uprising situation is getting worse obviously in the region and this is having a spillover effect here in lebanon and where we're having to cope with the consequences of that there's also internal tension that's increasing there's a large flow of refugees and there's a lot of instability all around us. some though believe the problems in lever. antone down to the crisis in syria local observers like spanish john is thomas alcove editor says they are a symptom of a deep divide that's long bubbled under the surface but it's not it does there were many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five nine hundred ninety seven war like religious division and the authorities didn't sort it and now they're discovering it again they kept this situation of instability for many years and that's a good ground for a new conflict like a spark in a powder keg get out and the bad news is the resplendent of power in the cag or the
5:12 am
recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the political and religious refits i remain more dangerous though or more the start of our liberal know there are so many factions now sunni shia salafi what's really bad everybody has weapons not only has belarus they may think but everybody in every house and they use them about the shia and sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut and in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but the syria effect means fear has now greet them feel over it turn into a deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that has nothing to do. so what's happening in the region at the moment my sisters but then use it against violence in lebanon to some of the people to live for the world to fully live it what is happening in the mud is seventy he remembers
5:13 am
all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through and has a chilling forecast about the latest trouble surely you know what i see no reminds me of the nine hundred eighty two in two thousand and six israeli wars and the one nine hundred seventy five civil war and the two thousand and eight political uprising here i didn't think i'd witness yet another conflict in my life. but it seems a worse case scenario could be gettin more and more likely this neighborhood in beirut where the violence started is known as the ticklish d.-d. meaning new roads many fear this road may leave the country to civil war. weary for nationality beirut lebanon. coming up for you r.t. the growing number of young entrepreneurs fleeing the u.s. looking of american immigrants decide to leave the country their parents chose for a better life with fierce competition from growing economies abroad.
5:14 am
early election results mean egypt will see a muslim brotherhood candidate in a runoff against the next prime minister or the mubarak era he comes amid numerous complaints of ballot violations in the country's first presidential election since the uprising as artie's point to slip discovered regardless of the outcome egypt's future could be bleak. it's a result that stunned many and has the potential to split the country into an islamist candidate pitted against a member of the former regime mohamed morsi is the choice of the powerful muslim brotherhood well as much afic was the last prime minister to serve under hosni mubarak egyptians and now have to choose one or the other for the country's top job and no one is happy. because he has become the. candidate of the revolution should we get rid of the remnants of the regime and prevent the country from moving backwards but the muslim brotherhood is tainted by
5:15 am
the same accusation and critics fear the group will stay egypt away from democracy into hardline islamic rule already the brotherhood controls more than half the seats in the new egyptian parliament and they repealed among poor communities gives them the edge which is why those who took to tell his square last year are worried i'm sure of the martyrs where life they would think that this is all his just no one john the elections they wanted to free them now with years and monthly massacring that takes place will even kill those who don't even have the right to be listened in the big square how can the release of the east and the last but of which are fixed wrong showing also threatens to undo everything mariam and her friends fought for shafiq is deeply hated by many egyptians and was pelted with stones and shoes when he went to vote but for that the taxpayer revolutionaries weren't able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post presidential elections.
5:16 am
but many egyptians expected the moneys to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost certain the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdul more. and look what former brotherhood members are adding to their woes egyptians also fear the military that's been ruling the country for the past fifteen months won't stick to its promise to hand over power and instead will continue to pull the strings even from a far a scenario that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences or military coup has to be executed and then they thought will be very very violent and there will be a month of bloodshed and i think the room is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in any islamist president marking one of the most dramatic political turnarounds in history after all it wasn't that long ago that
5:17 am
the muslim brotherhood was outlawed and it's members imprisoned now it's mubarak in the dock and the brotherhood almost in the presidency but there's been nothing about this election that's been predictable and until a new constitution is approved it's still not clear what powers the new president will have but whoever wins his hands will be full of problems here run deep and economic and political frustrations are not that far from spilling over into french politics what is the r t cairo. traces of high level enrich uranium found at a site in iran where due to a technical error according to tehran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog experts say the particles discovered by international inspectors at an underground facility was too far from what's needed to create a nuclear device and the say tehran's version is plausible however the revelation plays into the hands of those convinced that iran is seeking nuclear weapons this week's two day summit in baghdad failed to put in bad tehran rejected
5:18 am
a new package proposed by the u.n. security council members and germany makes too many demands off turn the new wideness c.e.o. of country risk solutions believes both sides are often reaching a compromise you know i look at iran and the west as sort of like mars versus. venus they want completely different things even if the west was inclined to ease the sanctions that are proposed for july they can't simply turn off the spigot and that's exactly what iran wants in the west i think what the west and israel are looking for is something which iran is simply not going to give them they're looking for a complete cessation of enrichment they're looking for a reversal of the process that has gone on for more than a decade now i just don't see how this is going to happen fortunately there's plenty of oil in the world markets and those nations that need to find alternative sources of oil are likely to be able to do so and those nations that have become
5:19 am
accustomed to working with the iranian central bank will find other ways to do business with iran if that's what they need to do. but greek public sentiment is that once again split it pro and anti a sturdy factions neck and neck ahead of next month's parliamentary elections and it seems parties supporting the cuts are gaining ground they say that threats to abandon austerity are tantamount to flirting with catastrophe however as artie's peter all of the reports this time the e.u. isn't leaving anything to chance. should they stay or should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant if you mind is that for my part i would like to say that i think we agree we want greece to remain in the euro zone we know that it's the same for a majority of greek people. but it seems plans are being drawn up in case those hopes fail the german blunders bank says the situation in greece is extremely
5:20 am
worrying but isn't predicting the demise of the single currency should the greeks quit the euro a view certainly not shared by all if it what happens if it won't become reality then we are really in a mess and it means automatically that this point will no domino effect all over europe because then we have also a question of moral hazard for example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is nowhere then the others will begin to start ok it's a very nice solution for us the author of our debts for so far it's easier to pull out of the euro pot to go buy a loan i did here and also spain and italy in fact hero skeptics feel that drastic german government action may be needed if europe's dominant economy is to avoid being swamped in the economic mire which is so called carex it or greek exit could cause it's not just here in germany that
5:21 am
a post greek eurozone is being discussed finance ministers from all member states have been drawing up contingency plans to try and determine how a greek exit would affect their economies european leaders continue to throw their support behind greek single currency membership the country's rerun elections next month are rapidly looking like a referendum on the euro in everything but name france's socialist president speaking after the informal summit looked like a man trying to woo the greek electorate with rather softer talk than austerity. it was mentioned that we would be using the structural fund to support the growth efforts of greece's will so the greek voters can be confident as to what support will come after june the seventeenth. so as the future of greece in the eurozone enters what could be its final act top e.u. figures say it's all down to its people but swayed for the people of greece to have
5:22 am
their say on the seventeenth of june. and we will not let those films be by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait at the wheel of the greek people but it's wait and see time with deep resistance in greece towards austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis peter all of a r.t. . is more for you i website r.t. dot com including plans for schools in texas to track their students every move by getting them to carry my project id cards. more than the russian grannies who came second in your vision twenty twelve last night one hundred twenty five million people what's we take the top prize. this week saw a prime minister dmitry medvedev appointed as the leader of the united russia party the country's main political force he promised a major overhaul at the top saying he plans to remove people who discredit the
5:23 am
party this came after some significant changes were made in the russian government as president vladimir putin unveiled his new team of ministers despite some familiar faces remaining more than two thirds of the cabinet new appointments political commentators and this says team can rise to any political challenge from my point to you this is the move was dramatic cabinet reshuffle in the decade and what matters is not only the number of the new faces which is really amazing can you imagine three quarter of new faces but the qualitative cagers there was an enormous outcry of all of the presumed late appointment of the cabinet and what added to the confusion to the story that we didn't didn't go to as you know g. eight summit there so what we see today is that really this system often them is it isn't working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by some but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are
