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's revolution 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 are 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 protests going around the crowds saying that if he was elected president he would drag mubarak back to trial and try and help in executed 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 major

week 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 god for standing in these presidential elections but his links to the old regime are simply too 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 he gypped 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 re ignition of the spirit of protest against what is seen as very little

change compared to what was wanted from last year's revolution. well you just ruling military council meanwhile has assumed the parliament to the forty eight hour ultimatum to agree to a constitutional assembly or contend with one decided on by the generals mckown one of the contributing editor of foreign policy in focus dot org says it's unlikely that the military's working to extend the egyptian impasse and therefore extend its rule over the country if your peak 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 and squares and what finally comes out of this alexion 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 he still did not start over the question of democracy he 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. well later in the program another regional hotspot syria allows humanitarian aid workers into the country because escalation ralitsa the fragile cease fires that threat from syria coming up shortly. america's defense chief is up to india's leadership as a string of bad luck at least in the restaurant basis and it's been. we can take supporters are sending their forces on wednesday as bradley manning one of the major contributors to the web site faces his latest hearing he's charged with twenty two separate crimes including aiding the enemy which is

a capital offense in a question of a 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 can take small bradley manning the obama administration has wastes an unprecedented war on whistleblowers prosecuting more of them under a span ash loss than all previous administrations combined but it seems one man snitch is another man spin doctor the problem with the current situation with the current white house is they have leaked classified information for the times when it suits them to do so one of those with what was written 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 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 bad facts all 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 once the endsleigh institution were called 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 robb assessed the pentagon has for a long time had access to the scripts of hollywood filmmakers to show the military in a better lot 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 france will get to walk right there others are trying to project patrick to his and propaganda on to the silver screen but i do not question the archie reporting from las angeles california. and of course how the world's top whistle version of the songs has is evidence of the show here in r.t. that this 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 also touch upon the global foreign policy the leaders of iran and afghanistan invited to join the gathering all season xers the reports now from beijing. we have a very busy day ahead of us were understand. a state visit to china his first state

visit as russia's president will be transforming into the summit of the shanghai cooperation organization the organization which has celebrated its ten 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 have managed to assign very important agreements and boosting 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 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 was a cargo based international affairs commentator regrows off says the shanghai cooperation organization has the potential to become a serious force. as we know this is the twelfth summit the twelfth head of state

meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization was created in two thousand and one to replace 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 masons and sense and of course followers in sri lanka began what are called dialogue partners there's been discussion i have of the summit and will see it with my hands out that afghanistan may join as there is an observer and turkey may join as a dialogue partner but even as currently constituted first shanghai cooperation organization is correct the population represents half of the human rights of the land now so see all members an observer states sixty percent of the eurasian land yes so this is a very important organization and it's one that still even twelve years after its foundation stone the embryo state 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. well remember we've got all the latest stories and videos on our website r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's there if you right now russia's parliament comes down hard on those who crossed the line during protests rallies preaching the peace that demonstrations were traitors pocket chain of two thousand. plus canada's twelve year old economist piece on the global financial crisis went viral and she criticised banks and governments for all the public. the syrian government has agreed to that aid workers into the country for the first time based in four cities hit hard by the violence among them homes well since the

rebel said they were abandoning the u.n. cease fire plan involving the class of the security forces syria has given them marching to seventy diplomats from the u.s. support in france and turkey what happens if the mask and says accused foreign powers of funding and arming the opposition fighters east expert eric haney please those countries are motivated sown by regime change. when the americans vassal states like group 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 that 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 absolutely no pressure on the

other site to come to the negotiate negotiating table and start a process. daws so it would appear to me that what we now have is an end game situation where the united states decided to remove this regime and 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 told r.t. mainstream media coverage often clashes with reality he's full interview is coming up next hour ted pretty. well that's what the very people are sponsible for that's my film their crimes and footage to the media blaming the government for the atrocities of the 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 you see 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. the white house says if president assad hands control to the opposition it will help bring an end to fifteen months of bloodshed but has maintained his country's real war comes from the outside people of ellen his guests to discuss the syrian conflict in detail in cross talk at eleven thirty g.m.t.

today. with the syria case when we talk about the end of peace plane plane it's being upset is all they clear that is just the stepping stone for validating setting the pretext for military intervention by the nato powers there is a lot of smuggling of arms from lebanon to syria there is a lot of smuggling of arms from iraq to syria and the longer this conflict festers and the more smuggling there is going to be the more radicalized the fighters are going to be and the more outsiders are going to intervene in this conflict. with the united states losing a string of critical bases across central asia the pentagon has a plan to the instant you drive to secure more on ice defense secretary leon

panetta result of p.r. toward india publicly asking them to take when i agreed to both gonna stop on the say there is more stake washington is going to india slated for a bigger role most of pakistan's support and with america's denniston threatened by such a time about the much time to move to the edge of the sea you know nothing. of the reports not just why americans comes up to. the world got it eyes on india it's the planet's biggest arms importer and it's that to spend one 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 me remember through farm guard america. ships and all those who. have crossed through the maybe

to many it's seen as part of the us is bigger shift towards asia one that its defense secretary leon panetta is now touring the region to actively engage in a january report issued by the american government of china is listed along with iran as one of the us is biggest adversaries the report also specifically singled out india as the main country washington would pursue as a strategic partner in the region the united. better of all amount of energy strengthening military ties with india it just call them ten mil. terry transport planes for four point four billion dollars india also conducts the most military on their sizes with the united states than any other country many analysts say that it could be a way for washington to use new delhi to counterbalance its new enemy china i do see a big big china united states is going to do. what even though says

that it finds it as a major competition for this includes and. that it can influence an issue while india is happy to have partners to advance their arsenals and many observers are watching the american interest with caution is one of india's biggest trading partner i mean we are neighbors begun. we should not be made a proxy by other power soon or. we should not part of the buttons of the americans and with americans i think got a big. superball. and the would not be able to. hold their ground and the share price of agree just 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. well look now at a couple of other top stories from around the world this hour nigeria has been hit
