runnels and according to that decision the islamicist dominated parliament has been dissolved in addition to that which i think is backed by the army and was also a prime minister in the mubarak era has been given the green light to remain in the presidential race the decision also reverts to legislative authority back to the ruling military and the military really holds executive authority in this country and to a new president is elected so you have this very worrying situation where a president will be elected in the absence of a constitution and also in the absence of a parliament so at this stage there are more questions than answers the official line from the muslim brotherhood is to respect the decision of the court we heard as much from the candidate dr mohamed morsi although he did warn that there could be more dangerous consequences and he did say in fact that if there were any kind of mishaps in the elections then he would support people going back to the streets there there have however been leading voices within the muslim brotherhood that

have denounced the decision of the court and the phrase being used is that this is a fully fledged coup and we're hearing that kind of criticism from across the political spectrum on wednesday the justice ministry decreed that the military police and intelligence services half of whites to arrest and detain civilians and that in addition has sent out alarm bells to me it seems as if the emergency law that was only recently lifted could very well be reintroduced so you have these political developments that are causing people like mohamed el baradei who is the former head of the united nations atomic energy agency to call on the military and the court to disposing elections that were scheduled to get underway tomorrow the concern is that these elections will be overshadowed by violence the concern is also that the country will slide back into dictatorial rule and the other concern is that whichever candidate did as president will have powers that at this stage

seemingly are unlimited. our middle east correspondent there paula slay will cairo based activists some affairs he believes in the wake of the supreme court's ruling the muslim brotherhood will have to change its tactics from street protests to preparing for parliamentary reelection is the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces. looking into the situation from a very worrying the positions of the think as to what's had been happening today after the solving the parliament which is the haves overwhelming majority inside that may be moving as a way forward to get inglis in the upcoming election which will be a few a few months later. and if they think is that if she comes to power this is likely actually an egyptian situation now maybe he will crack down on them or is a phrase that seem very restrictive atmosphere experience during mubarak regime

elements orbs all the regime really groupings themselves in a new political party as we hear that now and they will compete in the upcoming elections a political map will change a definitively slimmest as will decide not to waste as of time or if resisting shift to prepare themselves for the parliamentary election. to see how the second round of the historic presidential election in egypt is set to unfold the don't miss our special coverage coming out it's here on out to you throughout this weekend. like the start. of the to run the. rubble to. see. what it's like. on. reports of fresh u.s.

drone strikes in pakistan keep pouring in despite the country's officials to mother to hold to those attacks which they say are against international law at least three people believe the militants have been killed in the latest incident and as washington continues to defend its tactics more and more civilians are falling victim to america's drone attacks too is going to come explains more. reports about u.s. drone strikes in pakistan coming more and more often we're getting used to hearing in the media such and such number of terrorists was killed with no way to verify really there are no names attached to those numbers but earlier this month american officials proudly announced that a drone strike in pakistan killed one of his top commanders almost two weeks later a video with the same man yeah yeah levy was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living other al qaeda leaders have not confirmed or denied on levy's death the video could have been taped before he says that that's true so he might as well be dead but the confusion has once again raised the

question of who's really dying in those bombings and how much do we actually know because it's all very murky what we do know is that the obama administration has dramatically ramped up drone strikes in pakistan around story hundred strikes since he took office it's this area bordering afghanistan which is under fire but judging by the intensity of the u.s. strikes there. one may think that only terrorists live there that's not the case of course the long view of investigative journalism says more than eight hundred civilians died in those bombings among them almost two hundred children what's interesting for a year u.s. officials are altogether denied civilian deaths in drone strikes but reports on the ground told the opposite and thousands of people protesting furiously in pakistan told the opposite then that was the last straw of the aerial strike which killed two dozen pakistani soldiers last year by mistake diplomatic have a follow up between the u.s. and pakistan pakistan blocked supply routes to afghanistan and they still remain

closed by the way a new wave of extremism has been steered by those strikes but it's also interesting u.s. officials have in direct we accused this bureau of investigative journalism which works to shed light on civilian deaths saying those drone strikes of helping terrorists one might argue that this label terrorist helper is becoming an all too convenient tool for the government to brush off investigative journalism then there was this yemeni journalist who reported about the drone strike in yemen in two thousand and nine twenty one woman and fourteen children died there the journalist is now in jail reportedly at the personal request of president obama himself. there's this line of thought in washington it's all perfectly fine as long as we're fighting the bad guys the president approves the list of those bad guys by the way the kill list on secret evidence with no review but does the argument we're

fighting the bad guys mean that the world should keep quiet about the execution of innocent people in washington i'm going to check them. still to come on to the truth or high tech terrorist phone just big deal with these pigs is rejected so it is. fight for freedom as far as the european court of human rights also no unity in you discord over immigration is mounting within the block as critics accuse governments of using hardline tactics with deadly consequences. the next the syrian government's warning of possible suicide bomb attacks in mosques in damascus after it arrested a man with ties to an al qaeda linked group the suspect is said to have confessed he was going to blow himself up in the center of the capital meantime u.n. observers have visited the town of half after intense battles between government and opposition forces there they found government buildings gutted from the inside

with dead bodies believed to have been removed or buried before the u.n. mission parallels are already being drawn massacres in syria but there's growing doubt in the western media over the government's involvement in the atrocities across the country with reports also implicating rebel militia in the bloodshed some journalist went as far as claiming the opposition deliberately set them up to be shot by the syrian army david gibbs history professor at the university of arizona says media spin has left its mark on the conflict. well as a general point in these types of you know conflicts the propaganda aspect is critically important and there's an effort in the world. rebels in a kind of almost purely positive light and see regime in a purely negative light and you know get the facts on the ground it's very hard to ascertain who massacre did for a long time for a while look like it was clearly done by the government but there was a report from the german process for particularly from for to. indicate that there

are some indications that might have been. some element of the rebels that might have committed at least part of the massacre the german report with the growth of cooler underscores the fact that it's very difficult to get at the truth in these types of conflicts where you know both sides are trying to use propaganda and spin to advance their positions and so this is being presented as is typically the case in these types of conflicts the good versus evil conflict with all the blame on one side even if the reality is more complicated. people cross talk show later today on this channel discusses the syrian crisis with experts focusing on why western powers never reveal the real agenda for intervention. in every case when the united states or britain or france the former colonizers of the middle east decide to intervene to overthrow a government they assigned their mission a noble cause to defend democracy defend freedom to protect civilians they never say we're coming into brutally exploiting dominating take your land labor and

resources and use you as a bargaining chip in the world will struggle against others never say it like that because nobody would support that. well he said it's virtually no son will be imprisoned when he's handed over to the swedish authorities while a court decides if he should remain in custody so says sweden where the world's best known whistle blower is wanted for questioning of a sex crime allegations on thursday the u.k. supreme court decided not to reopen a songes appeal case that held these extra. mission to stockholm assad says the move is politically motivated and that sweden may have a secret agreement with the united states the country he infuriated with wiki leaks revelations u.s. attorney kevin zeese thinks the outcome of the case will be decisive lol concept of free speech. i think it's a real shame all assizes wanted for is questioning he's not been charged he could have done the questioning by skype there's no need to go to sweden to be questioned

there's been rumors that there is a sealed in the words a secret indictment already against julius honors but there may not be we don't really know the answer that at this point nothing has been released about that if there is an indictment and he is actually the united states they'll be a long battle about that as well. then the charges will be very serious ones and the ones that will define press freedom and government transparency for the twenty first century are really would be a really critically important case some of the truth. julius are just gotten out have shown that from the lowest levels to the highest levels of our military and our state department there are crimes being committed hillary clinton signing a memo ordering our diplomats to spy on did metz coming to the united nations which is really illegal and so it's a real shame that the transparency that mr assize has brought to the world is being met with the fear and repercussions as being threatened against him because what he

has done merely has been getting out the truth or the details about his son's case was very beginning available on our website as you know if you watching a cell for a while now we've been covering that story closely also i'd like to take a look at this great this is saif i stories come to life the spy did bad seed it could climb its way to defeat shit at the us military i just got no sound that i bet that thing is going to anyway it's great quite fancied himself that about you also down the drain with the rain a billion dollar highway and russia's far east gets washed away max find out what a high profile event the road was built for online from us. the e.u. cares more about in forcing its borders the people's lives that's the damning

conclusion reached in the latest report by amnesty international human rights group claims europe actively aims to prevent africans from reaching and shores endangered the lives therefore of asylum seekers and there are now increasing calls to from critics to holding new governments accountable for the treatment of immigrants as it is tessa siller reports those who do manage to reach europe face increasing discrimination. it may be called the european the union but discord is rife and the swing to the extreme is becoming a little more mainstream especially when it comes to discourse on immigration and in some cases leads to outright violence from norway. to greece. to hungary. in our streets girls a rape lives molested and insulted by gangs of them other. recent elections in france and greece showed a big gains for the far right and immigrants say they've increasingly been on the receiving end of prejudice in many forms. in all of europe a woman with

a veil can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but it build women cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and racism in the everyday life the people are facing because they don't report because they don't trust the police so every time you get into that on the street or if you understand women that you have to go off it's taken off you have whatever you can trip or simply a two thousand and ten report by the european network against racism or discrimination found that racially discriminatory practices are widespread institutional in nature and practiced at all levels of society across europe in two thousand and eight the european commission proposed a directive that would ban discrimination on the grounds of age disability religion or belief and sexual orientation. in all areas including social protection and advantages as well as access to goods and services now the current law only applies to the workplace but it's been four years and the directive is stuck largely

because some member states are blocking it arguing that implementation would be too costly this activists say is one of the many failures of policymakers and while immigrants are blamed by politicians on the right for failure to integrate others say it's the authorities which have not done enough of. it was the policy in the policy to the moment i never knew that if there is a policy it's not the fault of the too far as i know it's of those who make the policy over the europe's economic troubles which are preoccupying leaders show no sign of ending soon but the race and immigration issues they've left unsolved could prove just as big a political time bomb tests are cilia r.t. brussels. the problems of extremism and intolerance in the e.u. are widely overshadowed by other blocs current economic headaches right now of course governments across the world are preparing the market then for the vote the

greek vote this weekend the outcome of which could determine the country's eurozone future in case our friends does exit britain is known and some one hundred billion pounds is going to be pumped into its own banks to defend against any backlash author and commentator professor philip argus told us the greek exit most spark a europe wide chain reaction. well now it looks like that spain really needs. one this has happened probably italy will need one and then we have suppression of greece if greece actually exits the year all this was said illegal and ministry of president so markets investors were in the market could leave and were pressing presidents for countries like finland and germany to say well we may actually if you don't get your eye was this in more of that so then they would have a more credible threat. to push other countries to do the necessary stuff

so it's very open how this all will end but i fear that in in the end. the z.b. leads to political pressure and start running the printing press but. as europe desperately seeks a financial stimulus it could soon suffer another blow this type who ran the country energy ministers warned that they he was losing oil sanctions will be a tough burden for the blocks economy said about major international talks set over iran's nuclear activities which according to the country's top diplomats are entirely peaceful. firstly we are strongly against weapons of mass destruction but today the republic of iran has the capacities to cooperate in disarmament and you can you nonproliferation that these capacities should be used by the international community secondly that we expect that the runs right as you nuclear technologies including your reign human richmond as will be recognized and respected this is something that is clearly defined by the nuclear nonproliferation

treaty and yet i think that addressing these two issues will help to advance negotiation is. that full interview with iran's top nuclear negotiator coming up next hour here on r.t. now. some world news in brief japanese police have arrested the last few tips suspected of links with a deadly gas attack on tokyo subway seventeen years ago an employee in a city cafe recognized him then called the police the man belonged to a cult group which had access to chemical and biological weapons nearly two hundred of its members have criminal records thirteen were killed and thousands more injured and that happened back in one thousand nine hundred ninety five. dozens of feared dead thirty thousand more displaced as sectarian violence continues in myanmar it's unclear what caused the ongoing rioting and ask attacks the police are telling the muslim community there to remain home to pray and not to gather in central locations there's

a widespread food shortage for the people who fled the region with thousands of able to eat because of the constant don't rest. argentinian president cristina fernandez de kirchner is urging britain to come to the negotiating table for talks over the disputed falkland islands and she made that plea in front of the u.n. decolonization committee new york the two sides fought over the british territory back in one thousand nine hundred two a war in which more than nine hundred people were killed islanders themselves plan to hold a referendum next year to decide the future. russians going outside their nation's borders for medical help make soon become a thing of the past treatment of procedures for serious heart conditions have made great strides since the fall of the soviet union really has got the story for you. home is where the hardest but for many russians their country is not where the chance to get their medical care especially those with heart problems as many assisting thousand russians are here just to go abroad to get treatment because they say health care at home leaves much to be desired for the country's leading

cardiologists it's a great concern that only. we have thousands of cases which can be very successfully treated here at home so i say with all responsibilities ninety percent of all treatment is done a broader can be done here. but many remain unconvinced even though centers like most goes back will of institute have perfected some of the most complicated procedures which can give the old or young taker and new life. for after the break up of the u.s.s.r. the state had to be created anew and in the process the situation with medicine was let go to the point where people have unfortunately lost the trust and russian health care system it's not so for two time hard bypass survivor vitale knife the former diplomat underwent extensive treatment both abroad and at the buckley of center most in our health care is far stronger and kinder than westerns especially

now when many medical centers have the technology we're used to seeing in the west but most importantly our doctors have sold. that along with well trained hands is something which allows russian doctors to save lives daily with operations on heard of just a few years ago thousands of such procedures have already been performed at the center on patients as young as just a few weeks old to those whose lives are in full bloom like twenty four year old natalee who suffered from a heritage terry heart condition it's just the feeling right now is that i understand and feel like a completely healthy person. a priceless feeling of inner health a cheat. without hitting outside russia's borders in moscow even going to. the top is now coming up twenty four minutes past for the afternoon here in moscow dmitri medvedev is at the business sense it looks very upbeat and there's new to the week in the stock markets at least i said pretty good news yeah there's

a lot of buying actually going on but i call this optimism per vert to be honest because it seems like investors are buying up in hope for the worst to come out of the greek elections on sunday which of course crucial for the fate of the euro zone and all together the euro markets in general basically central banks have hinted that in case of volatility should the results of the elections be negative they will be intervening and adding stimulus to the market let's take a look at what's going on on the stock markets in this regard basically that everyone is but a pair of the hoping for this stimulus coming from central banks and the bank of england as pioneering this move it's already promised it's already promised help basically more openly than any other markets and of course these therefore up a half a percent of dax even more so one point four percent over here in russia we're also seeing a buying going on with the r.t.s. gaining one point six percent my six

a bit lower than that the thing is that we might see a completely different picture on monday should actually. elections in greece be positive we will see a new government maybe form and therefore there will be no stimulus and they'll be selling so it's a kind of a weird situation from a parallel universe now on the my sex among the main movers we've got financials. point six percent a bit weaker than the market rosneft is up one point six percent now that's an interesting story now it's signed a deal with exxon mobil to jointly develop difficult will fields in west side b. and with say the potential annual output of the deposit could be above fifty million tons of crude earlier this year the two companies. agreed to work together in the russian picture. rise move over to some of the other markets and on the currencies we're seeing the euro declining now versus the dollar it's kind of been flirting with the level of one point two six against the greenback and this is of

course because of this uncertainty of what will happen on sunday and you know you can't really exclude the possibility that at the end of the session tonight in the united states seen futures actually positive for the markets we will see a lot of selling for those who are cautious with those who really want to see some kind of outcome on this election before they make any move and the russian ruble continues its decline against both ground zero in commodities of opec decided in the production quotas unchanged that thirty million barrels a day vessels are seeing this coupled with the growth of the stock market as a positive sign as hopes for a recruit in the global demand for crude and therefore we're seeing both light sweet adding around half a dollar per barrel. that's the way the markets look this i'll be back of course with more nextel we'll have the opening values for the u.s. market ok thanks for that now the latest debate focusing on the violence raging in syria coming up on this channel in just

a few minutes after i brought you up to date on the latest headlines from r.t. that's next.

in the head i'm going to die. and. once you. never go back to anything else you know sometimes you see a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize. i'm tom harvey welcome to the big show. the official. from the. video. and. the palm of your.

question. if you're very good enough to do for me kevin owen it's no half past four in the afternoon here in moscow and these are all top stories calls for fresh protests on the eve of the egyptian presidential runoff as the country's highest court dissolved parliament allows mubarak's prime minister to continue his election challenge the ruling fears though the country sliding back into dictatorship. the u.s. steps up deadly drone attacks on pakistani territory leading to calls for investigation into the legality made claims innocent civilians have been killed by the strikes officially targeting terrorists. and syria's government says there may be more suicide bomb attacks in the country's capital while warning follows the arrest of a man with ties to al qaida group. with the syrian conflict we stay next which is

now being called a civil war it's the springboard there for for strong debate in cross talk with paid to just a minute away. sigrid laboratory tim curry was able to build a most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything turns mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only dot com. hello and welcome.
