11:01 pm
twenty four hours a day seven days a week of this is r t with me tom would say egypt the 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 thought the sentence was too lenient over ten thousand people gathered overnight in cairo with the enraged more ransacked the hate quarters of presidential candidates and were more prone to be mass protests also regulated sitting down by alexandria and swears freelance journalist bell tree was into the square fourteen. people at the moment are really quite angry with the verdict at first when they heard the barak was given twenty five years of life sentence they 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.
11:02 pm
the interior ministry's eighty six police officers would 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 on crazy a cross egypt where people basically came to the streets are streaming angry about the fact that a lot of people calling for a death sentence now so we still have several tens of thousands of people here with aunt and across egypt really very angry mubarak's the families who is deduction a notion of pioli or assume is the body was ready announced i mean that's one of the biggest space the protesters are. fearing really is that he will actually. be successful with his you know such early end up serving his life sentence which is why people are still on the streets basically people to believe that just reduce your system is transparent so they think that perhaps that barak will be acquitted because that's what the regime the old regime was still in place once people are beginning to make the connections between what they consider to be the old regime
11:03 pm
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 bark's former prime minister ahmed should feature is actually considered to be one of the most part 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 essay should editor of the website in full was dot com says mubarak's trial and the choice of candidates in the coming election runoff proves that the old regime is still in control. 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
11:04 pm
found not guilty there is a scramble for power there between the old guard. and the muslim brotherhood north sea but 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 to see if your patients really want democracy to be 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 is embedded politicians who are privileged families and wealthy families have the same cycle of privilege to get out of that cycle i don't see it happening

11:06 pm
stressed the a position of france it accordance with its other international partners saying that 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 it wouldn't expand then we were promised that nato wouldn't put military hardware near russia but we've seen it expand and it spread we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion. 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 have 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
11:07 pm
not how up mr putin of views the situation. where no discussing the tragedy of a syrian town where fourteen or fifteen people were killed some of them were actually tortured as well this is stood up the world but how many civilians of actually been killed at the hands of the so-called militants have you looked at that body count now as far as francois laundered 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 the . 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 where libya was she was questioning the security level at this point today. and staying in the region a syrian opposition group is aging military action in the country by gulf states kofi annan one at the arab league ministers meeting that syria is slipping into an
11:08 pm
all out war with violence already overflowing into neighboring countries political analyst camilo was me who talked to us from lebanon away at least ten were killed in recent clashes said we are already seeing a domino effect obviously it's a scary situation. so if you could escalate the open war especially in tripoli around the 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 shipping arms to syria funded by qatar arabia qatar you've been very counterproductive in this process and they've been given money and weapon and given all the protection of the opposition now we can see somebody doesn't want the stability of lebanon on a very dangerous situation and syria is facing the prospect of civil war and this
11:09 pm
has consequences and lebanon will be definitely affected by it. still ahead for you this hour slashing california's debts and by stopping state killing we report on the millions spent keeping inmates on death row and how that cash could be better spent elsewhere also. it's been borrowing money from private banks am putting us into doubt and they're not doing anything about bass meet the twelve year old canadian girl who is in economic i came in is taken the web by storm she talks to and gives us her solutions. a lead be unable academy professor says he has been forced to leave his job after an interview with r.t. over the past occasion of ethnic russians in baltic countries our correspondent alexia share scheme met with him to find out how and why it happened. in the
11:10 pm
premier league more stuart i cannot 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 regas novel academy spoke to our team for months on the york is looking for a new job it was made clear to him by the academy's management that his appearance on our team meant he had no future there. my boss said this interview is home full for our future students he made it look as if i made an act of aggression against the. only spoke my mind which i have a constitutional right to do play to my colleagues told me the economy's rick to the h.r. department to find a reason to sack me after the summer exams. a top level politician from another baltic country stonier also made comments on one of our stories and also found
11:11 pm
himself targeted by the authorities the vice mayor of new orleans because you'll kill but it was surprised to see himself on and. a report put together by estonia security police outlining actual and potential threats to national security he decided to take action while. i was blacklisted because of my civic duty 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 about clearing my name but just talk tendencies or mind 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
11:12 pm
a letter to estonia prime minister demanding answers she believes such actions are illegal when you know what if as i say if they 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 these are going to zation 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 bost 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 which 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
11:13 pm
wanted to harm their homeland but they want the democracy to prevail after all. let's hear a shot. the r.t. reporting from latvia this story or. anger is growing among american taxpayers who see millions of their dollars spent each year on keeping inmates on death row and that as u.s. schools and universities face billions in cuts artie's medina has been in california hearing growing calls to end the death penalty. well 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 you tried death penalty case you have jurors. 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
11:14 pm
have a special counsel appointed and then there's 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 a-q. 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 said 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
11:15 pm
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 say go to work 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 going to use that right now except for special interests. were if we continue to keep this hunger
11:16 pm
for 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 compass is being guided by the draw of cash not affix much in the question the archie reporting from los angeles california. the internet is supposedly the people's platform but increasingly web use is the left livid over what's seen as growing censorship auntie's been asking people in new york whether they see it as protection or restriction. well. the internet has only been around for a couple of decades now is it out right as human beings to be able to access it 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 draw on it and what about children in porn one thing that's of the parents to
11:17 pm
control not to government though you are in control of what you access on the internet not anyone else always will have a book i want to pick up and assign concept 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 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 access misinformation and porn as you watch absolutely and be the judge of your

sophia 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 you more eighty it's out of us the name if the internet weren't around. that's a good question because zero is 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 pinch of salt it's or it all comes together i guess if it is very free and that's going to be for you know for. speech and all that good stuff too and you think it'll remain that way forever yes even though it's just in its infancy you don't think people are smart enough to figure out how to make money and control it. no. no it's too big. whether or not you think the internet should remain free and honest forever the bottom line is that's probably on realistic so you might want to
