egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak begin serving a life sentence for his part in killing hundreds of protesters last year while five per quarter crowd appearance with the verdict continue to ready into the night. president putin pushes the u.n. envoy for peace plan for syria insisting that both sides need to stop the violence as the russian leader travels to berlin and paris. and how talking to r t could get you fired in latvia and estonia as people land and blacklists up to demanding equal rights for ethnic russians. twenty four hours a day seven days

a week that this is our team egypt's deposed president hosni mubarak who was given a life sentence on saturday has been admitted to a prison hospital after reportedly suffering a heart attack on his way from the courthouse meanwhile his punishment triggered anger among many egyptians who called the sentence was too lenient of a ten thousand people gathered overnight in cairo within range more ransacked the head coaches of presidential candidate and mubarak's formal call me michel free mass protests also ruptured in the cities of alexandria and suez freelance journalist beltran was interviewed square for r.t. . people of the moment are really quite angry with the verdict first when they heard about barak was given twenty five years of life sentence there were euphoric because people presume that he would just be done for corruption charges however they realize that his sons are lying come out and also. the interior ministry saying six police officers were. not be sure of course it's people started to

realize that perhaps the verdict wasn't what they wanted so what we saw was actually a mass arc grazier cross egypt where people basically came to the streets streaming angry about the fight a lot of people calling for a death sentence now so we still have several tens of thousands of people here with aunt maria and across egypt really very angry mubarak's the funny stories did actually lodge an appeal earlier as soon as the verdict was ready announced i mean that's one of the biggest fears the protesters are. fearing really is that he will actually. be successful with his you know such a the end up serving his full life sentence which is why people are still on the streets basically people don't believe the tissue producer system is transparent so they think that perhaps that barak will be acquitted because that's what the regime the old regime are still in place once people are beginning to make the connections between what they consider to be the old regime and the new regime which the military council basically what they seen is mubarak get off lightly they want to

hear they want to see the death sentence they wanted his sons to be put in prison at the same time you know the background of elections where the parks former prime minister which if each is actually considered to be one of them i suppose what makes the most popular candidates so that people are really fairing is that this regime will never and that the revolution is in fact not worse petrik henningsen associate editor of the website in full was talk says mubarak's trial and the choice of candidates in the coming election run up proves that the old regime is still in control. if you look at the charges that start courses the acquittals you know if protestors were killed in trial here square it's likely the 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 in the military and security services and they were all found not guilty there is a scramble for power there between the old guard. and the muslim brotherhood north

sea the only day the real story here is that how can you have a free and fair elections in a country that is still under a military dictatorship so according to election officials in the first round of elections the majority of votes are 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 when the real problem in egypt is the cycle of privilege and this is the problem that the if you gyptian is really want democracy then we're going to have to face the same problem that we have in the united states and european countries who just the same people who are involved with the security services as embedded politicians or tramways and wealthy families have the same cycle of privilege to get out of that cycle i don't see it happening in the near future president vladimir putin has called for patients to let coffee

announce peace plan work in syria resisting pressure to assume a tougher stance against the regime consensus over nato as missile shield to end the euro zone's debt also came into focus as a russian leader met his german and french counterparts in berlin and paris to test us the last has been following the 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 stirred up the world's media but how many civilians have actually been 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. syria however it has to be pointed out that there are differences they were approach saying that more sanctions are necessary to put pressure on the assad regime or putin saying that this is ineffective citing past examples for example in iraq or libya she was questioning the security level at this point today. and staying in the region a syrian opposition group is urging military action in the country by gulf state coffee and then warned at the arab league ministers meeting that syria is slipping into an all out war with violence already overflowing into neighboring countries

political analyst come l r o y's name who talked to us from lebanon where these ten were killed in recent clashes said we're already seeing a domino effect obviously it's a scary situation. so the original lebanon could escalate to open war especially in tripoli rounding area a lot of people warn about this because this is a continuation of what is taking place in syria i think there's a lot of people in tripoli in northern lebanon been chipping arms to syria funded by qatar arabia qatar you've been very counterproductive and there's a process and they've been given money and weapons. given all the protection of the opposition. we can see somebody doesn't want ability lebannon very dangerous situation and syria is facing the prospect of civil war and this has consequences and lebanon will be definitely affected by it. still ahead

for you at this hour slashing california's death by stopping state killing her report on the millions spent keeping inmates on death row and how their cash could be better spent elsewhere also. our government has been borrowing money from private banks and putting us into doubt and they're not doing anything about gas with a twelve year old canadian girl who's economic accu man is taking the web by storm to talk to our team and give the solutions. a lead be a naval academy professor says he's been forced to leave his job after an interview with r.t. over the persecution of ethnic russians in baltic countries our correspondent. met with him to find out how and why it happened. 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. in february this teacher at the leader's novel academy spoke to r t four months on the curate is looking for a new job it was made clear to him by the academy's management that his appearance on our team and 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 latvia 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 store near also made comments on one of our stories and also found himself targeted by the authorities the vice mayor of thailand because you'll kill

but 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 sympathies to protect and preserve russian schools here the security police believe this could violate as soon as. i have a different opinion and that's why i filed a lawsuit against the organization for me it's not clear my name but to stalk dangerous tendencies which undermine democracy in my country so that list also contained almost all russian t.v. stations including r t foreign minister sergey lavrov and anti-fascist activists from finland and a dozen n.g.o.s member of a stoniest parliament. also one of the names on the blacklist wrote a letter to estonia prime minister demanding answers she believes such actions are

illegal when you know what if as i say if we 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 writing this reports for many years but this time they have crossed a certain line and read the rules and they say this organization 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 past 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 path 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. the

r.t. reporting from latvia this story here. and is growing among american taxpayers who see millions of dollars spent each year and keeping inmates on death row and that as you are schools and universities are faced billions in cuts artie's medina caution of a has been in california hearing growing calls to end the death penalty. but in his twenty years as district attorney of l.a. 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 paul so you basically have two trials and that takes a very long time to go to jerusalem to have to go through the jury process you also

have to have special counsel appointed another 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 executions 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 an end to the

death penalty or phrase 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 run for 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 been dubbed the prison industrial complex that's an industry that is not going to 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 law

enforcement people from their pensions with the state of california facing bankruptcy it seems its moral compound is being guided by the draw of cash not affix much in the course marty reporting from los angeles california. now the internet is supposedly the people the platform but increasingly web users are lived livid over what's seen as growing censorship he'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 information and we should all be able to draw one of them what about children and porn or i think that's of the parents to

control it not up to government so you are in control of what you access on the internet not anyone else sure of always will pick up whatever book i want to be governesses on concert 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 but 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 it's you're going to see a lot that you may not want to see so that is a 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 act as 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 the internet makes more idiots out of us than if the internet weren't around. that's a good question because zero 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're with a printer song it's or it all comes together i guess it is very free and 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 in its infancy don't think people are smart enough to figure out how to make money and control it. and know it's too big a big no you know 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.
