it's nine pm here in moscow this is r.t. coming to you live from houston now a with our top story is of to post president hosni mubarak is right now beginning his life sentence and reportedly suffered a serious health problem on his way to prison he's been convicted over the killing of eight hundred and fifty protesters during last year's uprising but works former interior minister has also been given life but several former security officials have been acquitted the verdicts triggered anger among many egyptians crowds are gathering in tahrir square curious at a court they believe it's too lenient for streaming live pictures from tahrir square on our web site archie dot com put the muslim brotherhood who's candidate could become egypt's next president after the election runoff in a fortnight is demanding mubarak's retrial calling the life sentence too lenient the revolutionary group say groups i should say say justice has not been served and that mobo. arks former prime minister should be running for the presidency egyptian

journalist marian tani is gauging reaction in cargo. initially the reaction was obviously one. relieved at the sound of the word guilty but when. that verdict was read i think they realized they should the full extent of the outcome of the verdict had begun to sink in the realized nation that the majority of the defendants would be returning home free man and not be held responsible for their role in their involvement in it including the deaths of eight hundred fifty protesters last january as was corruption and mismanagement of the nation for the a crew of the few three minute personal wealth. couple broke out in the courtroom almost immediately and those couples definitely were mimicked out here many pro mubarak protesters angry about i think you know the outcome as well as many here

feel that he's a little of the corruption and accepting bribes accumulating personal wealth of corruption and really surprised many remember we're talking about personal wealth about estimated between seventy to eighty five billion accumulated over his three decades of rule and that's angered many people in those their mission to see iraq right now because this is exactly the police line here also clashes that rear as well attack here somewhere in the city many people wonder i think at this point whether it be the delivery of this verdict that this wasn't planned or timed actually to. be almost part of the election outcome it's happening right in the middle of the round of elections many believe that hit them and there are those who believe it's going to hurt the campaign that much because you are angry about the lack of justice out here might want to take that out again or are this representative of the old guard there are those that believe the fact that kept.

elena law will be going home i'll be it without their father. will simply just remain in the bank guard of the old regime able to return able to use that family's wealth to face a serious stablished themselves. well let's discuss this with patrick hanson associate editor of the website info wars dot com he outlines us live via broadband from london patrick the sentence passed the military still in power and former regime candidates running for president is the mubarak era truly over here well i think the important way to frame this narrative isn't really to talk about the mubarak era the real story here is that the same power base is still there who are rejection of power i'm talking about militarily financially and ultimately politically has always been is now and will be in the near future controlled by the security services and the military the supreme council of the military

forces in egypt so it's not so much about the mubarak era over is that the military is is really consolidating its own power base and it doesn't really matter in the end of the day at the least two to lot of other people outside of egypt who is the figurehead of that country. washington hasn't commented on a directly as should be said on mubarak's sentence hillary clinton just said his fate is quote up to the egyptian people is there any significance to that well if you want to know. what washington's. agenda is with regards the egyptians all actions you have to call samantha powers office and the white house is officer multilateral affairs she is the one who is the architect of the poster of illusion . of sort of political status that egypt has been in when will you gyptian revolution was really kicking off last year in tally the head of the military was

was in washington meeting and being briefed by samantha powers so that should tell you or give an indication of where the real strings of power in egypt are or. what influence do you think the verdict could have on upcoming leadership elections in the runoff for the presidency. well obviously there is a there is a scramble for power there between the old guard show feet and the muslim brotherhood north sea you know the as far as delivering the verdict of the election the timing in which it was done this could have been a desperate move by the old guard that might have had some influence over the justice system of the only day the real story here is that how can you have free and fair elections in a country that is still under military dictatorship so according to election officials in the first round of elections the majority of votes and numbers were

not cast for either show feet or morsi so what we have here i believe it looks like a staged a kind of a staged election that we're looking at and the real problem in egypt is this cycle of privilege and this is the problem that the if you gyptian really want democracy then they're going to have to face the same problem that we have in the united states and european countries which is the same people who are involved with the security services as embedded politicians who are privileged tramways and wealthy families of the same cycle of privilege which tend to get out of that cycle i don't see it happening in the near future but thousands back on talk we're square now as we speak really and it looks like the life that was former barak which was first preceded really as a compromised verdict now turns out to have upset many many people saying it's too lenient why is that do you think why this reaction well i think really what you have with the burra verdict if you look at the charges that start courses the

acquittals you know if protesters who were killed in trial here square it's likely that shoot to kill orders were not given by the president and you look at who stayed in power after the fall of mubarak you know the real power in egypt is those who are people in the military and security services. and they were all found not guilty ok across the board so that should give the world the real picture of what a show trial this really was it was really just mubarak's verdict was really blood money for blood verdict to appease public anger it was it was projected to at the leadership of egypt when in fact the actual apparatus of power in that country has not changed one iota since the fall of mubarak in fact the military has really consolidate its links and sure of its power base and well if the muslim brotherhood already signed an agreement with the i.m.f.

they've already signed on if they come into power they're going to go for the i.m.f. plan so that means to me that good muslim brotherhood will be back the party that's of choice for the west because they've already signed on to the international sort of schedule so that's a really important point that we need to look at in the future are and lots of people of course their eyes on egypt as the presidential runoff is set to take place in a fortnight patrick hennen said associate editor of info wars dot com thank you for that. president vladimir putin has called for patience to let kofi annan its peace plan work in syria resisting pressure to assume a tougher stance against the regime concerns over nato's missile shield in europe the euro zone's debt woes also came into focus as the russian leader met his german and french counterparts in berlin and paris artists are sylvia has been following talks. they have talked about energy issues also in terms of increasing

trade between the two countries let's not forget that the e.u. is the trading partner of russia the e.u. as a whole and that investment coming from this continent to russia is definitely significant and they also touched upon issues that concern them both such as that of a nuclear nonproliferation and again stressing the fact that the two countries are indeed partners but in terms of that partnership there is of course still a tension especially when it comes to the anti missile defense first of all and had stressed the a position of france it accordance with its other international partners saying that the a.m.t. is not aimed at russia however russia said that in the past they had had a god verbal promises but that is not enough. in the past we've often been promised that we wouldn't expand then we were promised that nato wouldn't put military hardware near russia but we've seen it expand and its bases spread we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion we've

already invited our partners to engage in dialogue now syria of course is high on the agenda before a bloody mary putin went to berlin and to france at the paris there had been statements from the two countries saying that they will try to get moscow on board russia maintaining that it is not siding with assad nor is it siding with the opposition now this has come under fire from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton who said that by not taking sides that in fact will contribute to escalating the violence in the country well certainly this is not how it is or putin of use the situation. where no discussing the tragedy in a syrian town where fourteen or fifteen people were killed some of them were actually tortured as well this is the world's media but how many civilians of actually being killed at the hands of the so-called militants have you looked at that body count now as far as francois hollande and putin are concerned they both a stress that they are looking at a diplomatic solution that this is still the ideal and to solving the crisis in a. however it has to be pointed out that there are differences say they were

approach a law in saying that more sanctions are necessary to put pressure on the assad regime will putin saying that this is ineffective citing past examples for example in iraq or libya he was questioning the security level at this point today. well syria's opposition group says it would welcome military action in the country by gulf states they are of the have been meeting in doha to discuss a serious crisis in last week's massacre in the town of houla with catarrh and saudi arabia pledging more aid to the rebels damascus blames armed gangs for the attack saying they're seeking to trigger foreign intervention the u.s. which backs the opposition in favor of regime change admits there are plans for military action but if president also did was to be removed there are fears syria's largest stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction would pose a global threat if they fell into the wrong hands american policy analyst charles

blair warns that these concerns must be uppermost in the minds of foreign states. if your only wish as a state is to prevent the use of chemical weapons outside of that state or against civilians then you have two strategies the first would be to quickly try to support the syrian free army to get it organized so that when they did eventually take over control of syria they could quickly account for the chemical weapons the other way that you can look at it is that if you're playing the long game which i think the russians or the chinese are doing it may be safest just to let things play out hoping that the assad regime will stay in power and if that is the case then the chemical weapons most likely are going to be kept in safe hands syria is not a part of the chemical weapons convention meaning that there is no u.n. inspectors or is no way of knowing what they have so it really is a general global threat that we're looking at. still ahead for you this hour

washing california's debt by stopping state killings we report on the millions being inmates on death row and how that could be better spent elsewhere also. our government has been borrowing money from private banks and printing us into debt and they're not doing anything about this twelve year old canadian girl whose economic accu man is taking the web by storm she talks to us here at r.t. and gives us her solution. but first you've got to be brave to speak your mind in the baltics especially if you come out in brussels defense several people who commented online for you and the sony is empty russian policies here in archie have found themselves blacklisted lexers story. so. i can accept this policy of treachery to my friends from the russian minority we

stood shoulder to shoulder to make independent now they're being treated like garbage but. in february this teacher at the leader's novel academy spoke to our team for months on the europe is looking for a new job it was made clear to him by the academy's management that his appearance on r.t. meant he had no future there. my boss called me and said this interview is harmful for our future students he made it look as if i made an act of aggression against the i told them i only spoke my mind which i have a constitutional right to do later my colleagues told me the academies richter ordered the h.r. department to find a reason to sack me after the summer exams. a top level politician from another baltic country estonia also made comments on one of our stories and also found himself targeted by the authorities the vice mayor of dialin it was surprised to

see himself on an annual report put together by estonia security police outlining actual and potential threats to national security he decided to take action. i was blacklisted because of my aunt's if it is to protect and preserve russian schools here the security police believe this could violate as soon as sovereignty i have a different opinion and that's why i filed a lawsuit against the organization for me it's not only are both clearing my name but to stop dangerous tendencies where jungle mind democracy in my country or so on that list also contained almost all russian t.v. stations including r.t. foreign minister sergei lavrov and anti-fascist activists from finland and a dozen n.g.o.s member of a stoney a spy. also one of the names on the blacklist wrote a letter to a stone prime minister demanding answers she believes such actions are illegal when

you know what it says i see if you are not at war with russia or anyone else that's why we have no grounds to blacklist any organizations or channels the security police have been running this reports for many years but this time they have crossed a certain line and read the rules and they say the civilization is only responsible for gathering information and into not publishing it to influence the public opinion in the two decades since independence the baltic states have been trying hard to bury their communist possed ironically putting people on blacklists was one of the methods used by the soviet special services so with more people being scrutinized for speaking their minds the wish of the baltic countries to follow a democratic future may come into question those who have found themselves on the pressure from the authorities for speaking to the media find it especially surprising that things like that happen in morden day europe they say they never wanted to harm their homeland but they want the democracy to prevail after all.

reporting from a lot of this don't you. we have more stories online at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's find out for you this hour not in my backyard or on my rooftop opposition grows among londoners who've been told misfiled find it on top of their homes as part of stringent security measures at this summer's olympics. and fooled again the return of a massive financial pyramid scheme in russia promises to dash the hopes of people hoping to get rich quick the details and much more at our team dot com. it's eighteen minutes past the hour let's have a look at some world news for you armed clashes have killed seven people injured thirty others in north lebanon the violence is. further proof that syria's conflict is encroaching into its neighbor with fighting between supporters and opponents of

president also it gun and rocket fire for some residents to flee to safety while lebanese troops were deployed to calm the situation. this alliance has a majority of americans warships are to be stationed in the asia pacific region secretary leon panetta confirmed about sixty percent of the fleet will be there by twenty twenty he insists it's not directed at china which repeatedly accuses the us of disturbing still waters by bolstering its presence. in eastern afghanistan taliban insurgents tried to storm a nato military base overnight a vehicle packed with explosives was rammed into the alliances building fourteen militants were killed when coalition forces responded there were no casualties among the foreign or afghan troops. still to come for you this hour keeping the web in check should it be the people or the police. so the information

you get from the internet isn't as reliable as it would be from a book people don't proofread with your peers often as they probably should but you've got to it also teaches you to be a little bit more so you know don't take everything you hear with a preacher songwriter. where in new york to ask about online restrictions and censorship. california is struggling to contain its eye watering debt with welfare programs schools and universities facing billions in cuts one massive money saving measure would be to end the death penalty which cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars per year. question of our reports on the growing calls to use that money on saving instead of ending lives. in his twenty years as district attorney off allie county john van de camp was involved in the conviction of a good number of people who were sentenced to death he says with the years of legal

wrangling keeping people on death row doesn't come cheap and is a constant drain on resources to try to death penalty case you have to have a jury that specially paula so you basically have to trial and that takes a very long time to go to jerusalem to go through the jury process you also have to have special counsel appointed in there is an automatic appeal there's a cost of appeal all of these procedures make the death penalty a big and expensive business for the state since nine hundred seventy eight taxpayers have spent more than four billion dollars in capital punishment in california alone or about three hundred eight million dollars for each of the thirteen acts accused sions carried out since then and with the average costs of keeping a person in prison at around twenty to fifty thousand dollars a year this coming november california is set to vote on whether to scrap capital

punishment in favor of life without parole today in times of deep economic recession the debate is shifting from traditional arguments about the morality of x. a kill shot and focusing instead on the cost effectiveness of the state's death penalty program ronnie sound deval is among those californians who stand for in atlanta the death penalty her faith in the justice system was shattered when her sixteen year old son arthur was wrongfully convicted she now believes the money spent on capital punishment can find a better use put more cops on the street put more police officers trying to solve crimes i mean there's a lot of places where the money would go to were actually benefit the community activists claim. dropping the death penalty puts california on track to save one billion dollars in the next five years the money desperately needed by the state now running a sixteen billion dollars deficit however some say dropping the death penalty could

provide difficult because of the special interests involved in what's being dubbed the prison industrial complex that's an industry that is not serving anything right now except for special interests we're up to the point where if we continue to keep this. justice what we're going to be doing is cutting those people off the honorable law enforcement people from their pensions with the state of california facing bankruptcy it seems its moral compass is being guided by the draw of cash not affix my final question archie reporting from los angeles california. the internet is supposedly the people's platform but increasingly web users are limited over what's seen as growing censorship artie's been asking people in new york whether they see it as protection or restriction.

the internet has only been around for a couple of decades now is it our right as human beings to be able to access that freely anytime we want this week let's talk about bad absolutely the internet is for everyone it was constructed to be an information and we should all be able to drive on it and what about children and porn one thing that's of the parents to control that not up to government so you are in control of what you access on the internet not anyone else curve always will pick up whatever book i want to be governesses i'm content yes anything they want but maybe not at work so there should be restrictions of where you view what you're viewing so i think the efforts to stop it bring in the government and everybody else to try to regulate i don't know that you can be done right they're just going to muck it up even more probably . that's what i'm thinking i'm thinking you're thinking right now that maybe there should be warnings you know like that video came out about syria recently and before i watched it on you tube they said you know be careful if you're going to

see a lot that you may not want to see so that is the type of regulation it is ok so maybe a warning just to let people know what they might be in for right but other than that i think people should be able to post whatever they want to be should be able to access misinformation and porn as you watch absolutely and be the judge of it yourself you know let people make their own decisions you know some people are idiots but most of us aren't. here do you think that the internet makes more idiots out of us the name if the internet weren't around. that's a good question because sometimes the information you get from the internet isn't as reliable as it would be from a book people don't proofread which appears often as they probably should but you've got to it also teaches you to be a little bit more. to take everything you hear with a printer song it's or it all comes together i guess if it is very free then that's going to be you know free speech and all that good stuff too i guess and you think it'll remain that way forever yes even though it's just an infant feed on think

people are smart enough to figure out how to make money and control it. and know it's to be a great big whether or not you think the internet should remain free an anonymous forever the bottom line is that's probably unrealistic so you might want to practice responsible googling now. the best financial minds around the world have been scratching their heads for years now about how to break free of the economic crisis but a twelve year old canadian girl thinks she has the answers to your grants video of her taking count of us banks to task has gone viral. what i discovered is that based on the government. financially enslaved people of canada are going to give you a mortgage which really means death. or a low they don't actually give you money they click a key on

a computer and generate the fake money out of those who come painfully obvious even for me twelve year old canadian but we are being tried it by the banking system on a composite government what will you do to stop this. victory or granted her mother marcia talked earlier to our g.'s bill dodd the financial whiz kid talk to us about what's wearing what's wrong i should say with the system and i don't want her ambitions what's been bothering me is that our government has been borrowing money from private banks and putting us into debt and they're not doing anything about this so they're just standing by and watching the private banks make us pay compound interest you are just twelve years old what do you think you understand what's wrong with the economy that you have the answer and world leaders don't well i've been researching and watching documentaries and like reading books and it's

not that hard time your stand once you start researching world leaders they probably know what's happening it's just they're just they're not doing anything about it i think they don't care because they're benefiting from what they're doing to us did you really come up with all these ideas yourself me and my dad had them watching documentaries so i'd be taking no it's. like we'd write it down and then we put it into my speech what are your ambitions do you want to be an economist you want to be a prime minister. i want every an interior designer but i'm definitely going to keep studying mine a terrier farm well certainly capital what cow looks at how to solve the problem of too much dad that's coming your way after the headlines the short break.
