revolution returns to egypt as hundreds of thousands rally into a square with efforts to deepen political and religious divisions an ominous warning of more trouble ahead. as one of the major contributors to wiki leaks charged with aiding the enemy bases his latest hearing washington gets caught red handed with a very selective approach to handling classified data. and some of the races and leading powers with russia and china in the driving seat gather to thrash out security as a counterbalance to the political grandstanding of the west. well

nice twenty four hours a day or two into r.t. now hundreds of thousands of egyptians have packed into the now iconic tahrir square in cairo rallying for the death penalty for former president hosni mubarak and leading the protests with the country's the mists out in force ahead of the looming presidential vote in the country and eager to capitalize on burgeoning on rest tom barton is into. thousands of protesters have converged here a race where in the center of cairo you can hear the sounds of protests reverberating around the square around me a real feeling of anger in the streets tonight and it's primarily focused around the verdict in the mubarak trial hosni mubarak egypt's former president is now going to spend the rest of his life in prison it seems unless the protesters get their way at least some of them wanting to do a bit more of

a back than that and to give him the death penalty and what really set them off was six of his senior security officials who were acquitted of involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters in egypt revolution's last year there's also added tension around these protests because very shortly egypt will enter the second round of its presidential elections but many people here expressing a lot of frustration they see the choice in those elections as being really no choice at all one candidate mohammed morsi is from the muslim brotherhood he's been trying to garner support here at the protest going around the crowds saying that if he was elected president he would drag mubarak back to trial and try and help him execute it which has struck a chord with some of the protesters however he has received criticism from a wide wide number of groups as well they see the muslim brotherhood as religiously

conservative and warn that they may try and hijack this revolution the other half of it shafique is mubarak's last prime minister and a former air force officer the protesters just as angry about him they say that he could well be or should well be darker standing in the presidential elections but his links to the old regime are simply. to close and that he's going to have a lot of convincing to do to try and make people believe that he's not in with the old regime and the military council that's ruling at the moment this atmosphere has brought people out not just here in the capital but all over egypt this was intended to be a million man march tonight we're not sure whether a million of have turned out it doesn't seem that it's that many but it certainly is a huge protest and a real real ignition of the spirit of protest against what is seen as very little

change compared to what was wanted for last year's revolution tom barton reporting that egypt's ruling military council meanwhile has issued the parliament with a forty eight hour ultimatum to agree to a constitutional assembly or contend with one decided on by the generals in and contributing editor of foreign policy in focus dot org says it's likely that the military is working to extend the egyptian impasse and therefore extend its rule over the country. if your feet is removed then of course you have no choice but that the military council stays so i do think that the military has set things up in such a way that they will continue as a major force how much of a major force i think depends on those people who are out there in the squares and what finally comes out of this election my concern is that if the military or the police decide to provoke something with the demonstrators then you might have

a shift in the direction of show feet because people are concerned about state delivery exciter keep in mind these demonstrations did not start over the question of democracy they started over a question of bread of unemployment poverty except for a so this is not just about roses this is about bread and that has not gone away. when they took the program another regional hot spot syria allows humanitarian aid workers into the country comes amid an installation of violence as a fragile cease fire is left hanging by a thread. for. america's defense chief goes up to indians of leadership as a string of bad not these the us a short of bases ahead of its military move into the asia pacific. now we can take supporters are sending their forces on wednesday as bradley manning one of the major contributors to the website faces his latest

hearing he's charged with twenty two separate crimes including aiding the enemy which is a capital offense but as medina culture never reports washington's interpretation of the freedom of speech depends on who you actually are. from a former cia officer who questioned waterboarding to suspected we keep small bradley manning the obama administration has waged an unprecedented war on whistleblowers prosecuting more of them under a spanish laws than old previous administrations combined but it's jim's one man snitch is another man's spin doctor the problem with the current situation with the current white house is they have leaked classified information several times what it serves to do one of those with with with with a book obama's wars done by bob woodward or they played out two chapters of information about current operations and also with the catholic vehicle bigelow project regarding seal team six takedown of ben lauder last year at this time the

film in question which is titled as zero dark thirty covers last year's raid by u.s. commandos on the pakistani compound where some of bin laden was hiding the conservative watchdog judicial watch has obtained records revealing that hollywood filmmakers were given access to proof the undisclosed information about the operation oscar winning director kathryn bigelow and screenwriter mark boal were even granted at tour around the fold as cia building where tactical planning for the raid took place the film is out in december but was initially due to be released just weeks before november's presidential elections that fact saw some flak fly the administration's way while the entire project has raised concerns over the way intelligence is being used it's best that this kind of information particularly as it revolves around what's surrounding this movie remains classified it absolutely

has to it's very unfortunate that it's coming out to be used for political purposes for a congressional election however there is nothing unusual about the defense department collaborating with the makers of hollywood blockbusters. it's a partnership that dates back to the middle of the twentieth century and it has proved effective the pentagon has what hollywood filmmakers won access to millions of dollars worth of military equipment to use in the movies and hollywood has what the pentagon wants the end plans to sugarcoat its actions and attract millions of potential recruits in recent months to other movies about the navy seals long survivor and act of valor how for safety official assistance veteran hollywood reporter david roth says the pentagon has for a long time had access to the scripts of hollywood filmmakers to show the military in a better line and the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of thrones and

television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind so while for some weeks we'll get truly walked out others are trying to project patrick johnson and propaganda on to the silver screen my integration archie reporting from las angeles california but. i remember the world's top whistleblower julian assange has his own interview show here on r.t. latest edition is coming up in about twenty minutes from now. regional terrorism and extremism both are on the table at the annual summit of the races six pioneering powerhouses this time being held in china the book known as the shanghai cooperation organization but also touch upon global foreign policy with leaders of iran and afghanistan invited to join the gathering what is next the r.c.s.

he reports now from beijing. we have a very busy day ahead of us were understand that. a state visit to china his first state visit as russia's president will be transforming into the summit of the shah high corporation organization the organization which has celebrated its tenth year anniversary last year and definitely all sides all countries involved in this organization have been noting that the corporation has been very successful especially in this security field something which has been a burning issue for the central asian states and that's where we already know that there has been very great success in the talks between the leaders of the countries we're also expecting very many important meetings on the sidelines of the summit between putin and the presidents of ghana stan and iran something which we of course will be bringing more information on as soon as we get it and this will probably be the main focus certainly this summit comes just a day after the start of official state visit to china these sites of managed to

sign very important agreements and listing economic ties and have managed to exchange their views on many different global policy issues and reported that they have been seeing eye to eye on all those issues in particular certainly the growing military strength of the united states in the asian pacific region something which greatly concerns china russia is agreeing with beijing on that matter and certainly the developments in the middle east even if we didn't mention did that russia and china are seeing eye to eye on the syrian conflict such a strong relations between beijing and moscow have been causing some concerns in the west primarily because china is a growing developing developing state with its economy and military being stronger every year we are following certainly all the interesting developments during the summit in the next two days here and we'll be bringing all the latest information to our viewers as soon as we get it but chicago based international affairs commentator recross off says the shanghai cooperation organization has the

potential to become a serious schools. as we know this is the twelfth summit that will the head of state meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization was created in two thousand and one to place matters in perspective we have to recall that with not only the full six members of the c.e.o. but with the fact that in two thousand and five india pakistan iran and mongolia are well were welcomed as observers of nations and since one of course fell over us in sri lanka the ground what are called dialogue partners there's been discussion i had of the summit and was to get a bounce out that afghanistan may join is that there's an observer in turkey may join is a dialogue partner but even as currently constituted this shanghai cooperation organization is collective population berkeley somehow after leaving the braves the lion mouth so the c.e.o. members and observer states sixty percent of the eurasian land so this is a very important organization and that's one that still even twelve years after its

foundation stone the embryo stage in many many ways and one that once it's fully bore and comes into the world in earnest is going to be one of the most important developments in history. but remember we've got all the latest stories and videos on our website our team dot com here's a taste of what's there a few right now bad news for everyone in russia who thought a protest was an occasion to meet have a can stay on punished parliament hikes fines for breaching the he said demonstrations why they exist and come up more than two thousand years before a. classic how did this twelve year old economist have believed something that will financial crisis when viral should criticize banks and governments for what in the public.

now the syrian government has agreed to that aid workers. in the country for the first time now they based in four cities hit hard by the violence among them is homes since the rebel said they were banning the u.n. cease fire plan they've been violent clashes in the security forces while syria has banned seventeen diplomats from u.s. britain france turkey and some other state t.v. masochists is accused of foreign powers of funding and arming opposition fighters in states county countries on making something by regime change in syria but when the americans vassal state slow growth some talk about transition what they are effectively mean is regime change that is what they did in libya with dire consequences as we can see in their country today in syria the plan to bring both sides to the table and have a negotiated settlement is obviously the best way to move forward but the united

states and britain and their other allies have absolutely no pressure on the other side to come to the negotiate negotiating table and start a process of thought so it would appear to me that what we now have is an end game situation where the united states has decided to remove this regime and will use everything in a spot to do so. well as well as being the scene of ongoing violence syria has been locked in a so-called information war as countries minister of information adnan the who told r.t. thanks trade media coverage often clashes with reality he's pulling to the news coming up next hour but here's a pretty. the very people responsible for deaths filmed their crimes and sent the footage to the media blaming the government for the atrocities and a recent study shows that ninety percent of satellite coverage on syria has nothing

to do with the actual situation in the country it's all lies and fabrications this again proves that there is a real information war waged against syria with real facts being substituted with fabrications these lies and the only way for them to achieve their objectives in their war against syria out of the houla massacre is a good example of that that as soon as the first pictures of the massacre were released everybody started accusing the syrian army and security forces but we all know who was really behind this crime today the people of syria are targeted by terrorists who are armed and sponsored by regional powers like qatar saudi arabia and turkey as well as by western nations such as the us. united states losing a slew of critical bases across central asia the pentagon has apparently launched

a new drive to secure more as defense secretary leon panetta is in a p.r. toiling publicly asking new delhi to take on a greater role in afghanistan but analysts say there's at stake and washington has got india slated for a bigger role at the last pakistan support his future threatened by a resurgent taliban much touted move to the asia pacific the unraveling what is pressure to reports now on just why america is so eager to cozy up to india. the world's got its eyes on india its the planet's biggest arms importer and is set to spend a hundred billion dollars on beefing up its military arsenal over the next decade while many weapon makers from far and wide are lining up to cash in on this need to modernize the united states has dash to the front of the pack. to strengthen its. true form america.

and. it wants to get lives down that it can influence an issue while india is happy to have partners to advance their arsenals many observers are watching the american interest with caution is one of india's biggest trading partner i mean we are neighbors we can reach each other. but we should not we made a proxy rather power center. and i we should not try to bow to the of the americans and with the americans i think got a declining. it's a declining super bowl. and be able to. hold their ground and asia pacific region as the united states continues to buddy up to india it looks like it could be using their new found friend to bully its enemy preassure either r t new delhi india. now look at some other top stories from around the
