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 until 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 and 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 have the right 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 presupposing elections that were scheduled to get under great 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 is emitted as president will have powers that at this stage seemingly are unlimited. paul asli our middle east correspondent the current us activist sami fancy believes in the wake of the supreme court ruling the muslim

brotherhood will have to change its tactics now from street protests to preparing for parliamentary reelection. as the muslim brotherhood and as of islamic forces. looking into the situation from a very worrying the positions of the think as what's had been happening to day after the solving as a parliament which is the haves overwhelming majority and say that may be moving is that we. are getting less and upcoming election which will be a few a few months later. and if the think is that if she comes to power this is likely actually in egyptians that they wish that they now maybe he will crack down on them or the fees that seem very restrictive atmosphere that they experienced during mubarak regime elements or was all the regime really groupings themselves and then you political party as we hear of late now and they will

compete in the upcoming elections the political will to change it differently. will decide not to waste their time or as if there is this thing shift to prepare themselves for the parliamentary election. and to see how the second round of historic presidential election egypt's going on folder i hope you can catch our special coverage across the weekend here on this channel r.t. from moscow. champion hard line islamists. to the tyrannical. rabble to. subscribe. to. reports of fresh u.s. drone strikes in pakistan keep pouring in despite the country's officials demanding a hold to the attacks which they say are against international law at least three

people believed to be 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 got to come explains. reports about you as drone strikes in pakistan becoming 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 it really there are no names attached to those numbers usually 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 men. it was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living there all qaeda leaders have not confirmed or denied levy's death the video could have been taped before he's dead 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 three 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 thing that only terrorists leave there that's not the case of course the long 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 all together 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 haven't followed 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 indirectly accused this bureau of investigative journalism which works to shed light on civilians. singles drone strikes helping terrorists one might argue that this label terrorist helper is becoming an all too convenient tool for the government to brush off investigative journalists and 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 is 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 and 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 and. still have the program truth seeker or high tech terrorists julian assange fit to reopen the case has been rejected it's his fight for freedom as far as the european court of human rights makes the hole so to no unity in the discord over immigration is mounting within the block his critics accuse governments of using hardline tactics with deadly consequences. the syrian government's warning of possible suicide bomb attacks in mosques in damascus after it arrested a man with ties to al-qaeda linked group the suspects said to have come first that he was going to blow himself up in the center of the capital meantime u.n. observers have visited the town of afula now after intense battles between government and opposition forces they found government buildings gutted from the inside with dead bodies believed to have been removed or buried before the u.n. mission arrived parallels are already being drawn with past massacres in syria but

there's growing doubt in the western media of the government's involvement in the atrocities across the country with reports also implicating rebel militia in the bloodshed some journalists where does far as claiming the opposition deliberately set them up to be shot by the syrian army david gibbs is a history professor at the university of arizona he told us media spin this left its mark on this conflict. well as a general point in these types of you know conflicts the propaganda aspect is critically important and there is an effort in the west portray the rebels in a kind of purely positive light and syrian regime in a purely negative light and you know given 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 in the german across from to clean the front for it to. indicate that there is 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 regard to

cool 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. bit of all cross talk program later today discusses the syrian crisis with experts focusing on why western powers never reveal the real agenda for intervention. 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 in to brutally exploit dominate and take your land labor and resources and use you as a bargaining chip and the world will struggle against others they never say it like that because nobody would support that.

wiki leaks attitude in the sun is set to 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 whistleblower is wanted for questioning over sex crime allegations on thursday the u.k. supreme court decided not to reopen sunday's appeal case held his extradition to stockholm says the move that was politically motivated and that sweet may have a secret agreement with the united states the country he'd feel related with wiki leaks revelations u.s. attorney kevin zeese thinks b. outcome of the case will be decisive in the concept of free speech. i think it's a real shame all sides as wanted for 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 c. all the words a secret indictment already against julius songs that there may now be we don't know the answer to 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 k. . some of the truth. julia gillard has 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 demands coming to the united nations which is illegal and so it's a real shame that the transparency that mr science has brought to the world is being met with the fear and repercussions that's being threatened against him because what he has done merely has been getting out the truth and all the details about his son's case was very beginning available my website much more in line as well take a look at this site by story's coming to life and this is

a bit of kit i found see that about you the spider man say that could climb its way into the future of the u.s. military they're interested in it because you can see why i hope there's no power cut there plus down the drain with the rain this is with this billion dollar highway and russia's far east when it literally got washed away so amazing pictures there you can also find it online what but high profile low road was built for. this is r.t. from moscow residents of a palestinian village have contacted the guinness book of world records to register that their village was demolished by israel thirty eight times talking about this that with jeff helper he's co-founder of director of the israeli committee against house demolitions no one better to talk about it with than i guess the jeff good to

see it now firstly why these villages chosen to act now and do this. i think this is an act of desperation they've turned to these radio courts for years and years and years israeli activists have gone down to try to resist the demolitions there's been international campaigns against a jewish national fund which is behind the demolitions of these homes and nothing has helped israel comes back time and time and time again to demolish the homes of this small bedouin community that's been there since for hundreds of years and i think this is simply it's kind of a gimmick in a way to say to the world look we have no more redress let's look it got on the news right so in a sense it was successful ok but in the cold light of day where it matters is going to make any difference. well you know that's the problem.

you know some of these little stories really in effect you know bring out the wider the wider realities israel defines itself as a jewish country exclusively it's for jews now or in the process not only of expelling palestinians or confining them to areas of the west bank and gaza and the bedouins inside israel but even of expelling thousands of tens of thousands of african refugees because we have to keep israel a purely jewish state in some way and so this is a war against the bedouins who are actually citizens of israel the idea is that the entire negative desert where they where they live about sixty thousand bedouins live as israeli citizens shouldn't be taking up our land they're stealing our land our jewish land they're croce on our land even though like i said they've been there for hundreds of years and the plan is to concentrate them and most of them have been already concentrate them and in townships with no economic infrastructure

no transportation just lock them into these townships they'll be casual laborers that will work in the jewish communities around and that's it that in a sense they're struggling not just for their land but for their economic rights it's a bit of a delay on the line here jeff do you feel you've made any headway in the last five years while you've been battling this. i think so you know in the end there the court of last resort is public opinion in other words if we can really put israel on the spot and really reveal what's going on here and to bring it into the international news and let the u.n. and the international community start to deal with this and to emphasize that the problem is one nine hundred forty eight now it isn't nine hundred sixty seven the problem is the treatment of all arabs in israel not simply those in the occupied territories i think we have

a chance through public opinion and international law to force the israeli government to do justice even towards its own arab citizens alone to think israel can continue these actions and as you see it do you see an end to the long standing conflict and when and how could that come about practically. well you know the kind of the conflict here and the bedouins are a small part of it but they're a part of it is really a global conflict it isn't just a localized conflict between israelis and palestinians and it affects the entire muslim world you know the palestinians have become the epitome of resistance to the west to new imperialism in a sense to western colonialism the humiliation of islam and therefore i don't think you can avoid resolving this conflict if you want to try to bring about some normal normalcy in relations between the west and the and the entire muslim world not simply this part of the muslim world so i think there are much. weightier

considerations at work here this is a tiny story the better ones but it reverberated into a much larger global story and there i think israel's back to the wall i think public opinion is changing i think the international community is starting to see that this is counterproductive to everybody's interests and hopefully at some point israel will not be allowed to continue its policies or that jeff thanks for coming on the program and making your point so succinctly the co-founder and executive director of israeli committee against house demolitions like. the e.u. cares more about inforcing its borders than 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 it shows endangering the lives of asylum seekers there are now increasing calls than from critics to hold e.u. governments accountable for the treatment of immigrants and aussies tester

a sinner reports next those who do manage to reach europe face increasing discrimination. it may be called the european human but discord is right 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. and. recent elections in france and greece showed big gains for the far right and immigrants say they've increasingly been on the receiving end of prejudice in many forms. of europe a woman can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but it cannot work in this shop. is the discrimination. people are facing.

because they don't trust the police so every time. a two thousand and ten report by the european network against racism and 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 us access to goods and services the current law only applies to the workplace but it's been four years and the director of the stock because some member states are blocking it arguing that implementation would be too costly this activists say is one of the many failures of policy makers 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. it was afraid.

i never knew that if there is a policy it's not. the fall of two far as i know it's of those who make the policy over the europe's economic troubles which are preoccupied leaders show no sign of ending soon but the race and immigration issues they've left are solved could prove just as big a political time bomb tests are cilia are to brussels. of course the problems of extremism and intolerance in the e.u. widely overshadowed right now by the blocs current economic headaches two governments across the world are preparing them for market panic ahead of the greek vote this week and the outcome of which could determine the country's eurozone future in case our friends does exit britain is now announced some one hundred billion pounds is going to be pumped into its own banks to defend against any backlash author and commentator professor phillip bagus says the greek exit may spark a europe wide chain reaction. well now it looks like that spain with needs. one

this is happened probably italy will need one then we have suppression orders or greece if greece actually exits the euro the. legal and ministry of presidents so markets investors within the congress could leave and will present presidents for countries like finland or germany to say well we may actually if you don't get your houses in all of that and 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 these these two political pressure and start running the printing press but. brief now japanese police have arrested the last fugitive suspect linked to the deadly gas attack on tokyo subway seventeen years ago an employee in

a city cafe recognized him called the police the man belonged to a cult group which had access to chemical and biological weapons in the two hundred of its members have criminal records thirteen were killed and dozens more injured in the one thousand nine hundred five plot. dozens of feet dead and thirty thousand more displaced as sectarian violence continues near the eastern coast of myanmar so unclear what caused the ongoing rioting and arson attacks but police are telling the muslim community to stay home and avoid central locations soldiers and police are in forcing a state of emergency including an overnight curfew and ban on public meetings of more than five people. argentinian president cristina fernandez de kirchner briton to come to the negotiating table for talks about the disputed falkland islands she made the play in front of a un decolonization committee new york the two sides fought over the british territory back in one thousand nine hundred two it was a war in which more than nine hundred people were killed as planned out a referendum next year to decide the future. exactly twenty five minutes past five

the afternoon moscow time let's get across the business with dmitri and it looks like a very upbeat end to the week doesn't it after all the ups and downs we've seen more downs and ups on the stock market that is true on the stock markets we're seeing optimism but i'd call it perverted because in a way traders right now are hoping for the worst out of sunday's elections in greece because if a new government cannot be formed then there will be volatility on the markets and then the central banks they promised they would intervene and they would provide stimulus so the optimism is on these hopes of a stimulus so in case we have good results of the elections and the government is formed and greece stays in the euro and everything's fine then probably the markets are going to fall this is kind of up and inside out topsy turvy situation here now what we're seeing on the european markets is the footsie is gaining point two percent the bank of england has been pioneering these efforts to provide stimulus on the markets and the dax is up more than one percent this out over here in russia

one more hour to go before the end of the session and it's a very good session of a very short trading week with the r.t.s. gaining one point eight percent of my six one point three percent we've also seen a good session on wednesday and a first day of my. among the main movers on the my say we've got financials gaining burbank up point six percent dixie the supermarket chain is down one point five percent up to disappointing results and ross never deserved one point six percent now it has signed a deal with american exxon mobil to jointly develop difficult oil fields in west siberia analysts say the potential annual output of the deposits could be about fifteen million tons of crude earlier this year two companies agreed to work together in the russian arctic shelf and they've been working for more than two decades in russia's far. all right elsewhere on the markets in

currencies the euro is continuing to decline against the dollar as floating around the level of one point two six versus the greenback of course the street some kind of stable movement of to the elections when more of us have an understanding of what's going to happen with greece i mean while the russian ruble continues its out of minor fall versus both kinds. and in commodities light sweet and brant have now moved into the red basically all this optimism kind of making way for cautiousness so investors basically trying to stay stay where they are the moment and not make any long term moves that are really on the market we're not seeing that much of that much of volumes and this is all because of this cautiousness ahead of this crucial weekend for the years years and the way the market looks as you say the such a lot of printing on this coming up this weekend isn't it with greece ok thanks charles we will be simulated dmitri now in
