vision 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 just a simple fourteen 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 and he would support people going back to the streets there there have however been leading voices within the muslim brotherhood that
10:03 am
have denounced the decision of the court and the phrase being used is that this is a fully fledged coup and we are 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 rights to a rest and detain civilians and that in addition has sent out alarm bells to many 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 perspire only elections that were scheduled to get under way 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 is elected as president will have powers that at this stage seemingly are unlimited carbo's

activists serve if he believes in the wake of the supreme court ruling the muslim brotherhood have to change its tactics from street protests to preparing for parliamentary reelection. as the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces. are looking into the situation from a very worrying the positions of the think as to what's had been happening today after the solving as a parliament which is the haves overwhelming majority inside it may be moving their way forward getting the lists in 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 they now maybe it will crack down on them as a freeze this seem very distinctive atmosphere that they experienced due to mubarak regime elements orbs all the regime regrouping themselves in

a she was drugged strikes in pakistan keep pouring in despite the country's officials to more than 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 as washington continues to defend its tactics more civilians are falling victim to america's drone attacks is going to shoot you can report. reports about you was 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 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. levy was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living other al qaeda leaders have not confirmed or denied or 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
10:07 am
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 on the fire but judging by the intensity of the u.s. strikes there one may think that only terrorists lived there that's not the case of course the long and based bureau of investigation journalism says more than eight hundred civilians died in those bomb. among them almost two hundred children what's interesting four 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 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
10:08 am
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 civilian deaths in 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
10:09 am
mean the world to keep quiet about the execution of innocent people in washington i'm kind of chicken. shit head of the program truth. turner is julian assange just made three zero put his case has been rejected sending his fight for freedom now but as far as the european court of human rights we got the latest. unity in the e.u. discord over immigration is mounting with the blog because critics. accused 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 suspect said to have confessed he was going to blow himself up in the center of the capital meanwhile un observers have visited the town of half an hour after intense battles between government and opposition forces they found government buildings gutted from the inside with dead

bodies believed to be removed or buried before the u.n. mission arrived parallels are being drawn with past passages in syria now but there's growing too in the western media over the government's involvement in the atrocities across the country with reports also implicating rebel militia or the bloodshed some journalist went as far as claiming the opposition deliberately set them up to be shot by the syrian army daily gabe's history professor at the university of arizona says media spins left its mark on this conflict. was a general point in these types of conflicts the propaganda aspect is critically important and there is an effort in the worst. rebels in a kind of purely positive light and syrian regime in a purely negative light and you know you have the facts on the ground are 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 across particularly from further argument it's. indicate
10:11 am
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 who 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. cross talk show next hour here on out he discusses the syrian crisis with experts focusing on why western powers never revealed their real agenda for intervention. in every case when the united states or britain or france the former colonizers of the middle east decided 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 in

a global struggle against others they never say it like that because nobody would support that. wiki leaks said it's a julian assange 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 whistleblowers wanted for questioning over sex crime allegations. the u.k. supreme court decided not to reopen assigned his appeal case and held his extradition to stalk the site says the move is politically motivated in that suite and may have a secret agreement with the u.s. the country related wiki leaks revelations u.s. attorney kevin zeese thinks the outcome of the case will be decisive for the concept of free speech. i think it's a real shame all sides as one of four 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 c. all the words
10:13 am
a secret indictment already against doing the songs but there may now be we don't really know the answer to this point nothing has been released about that if there is an indictment and he is actually the united states will 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. jews are just there now and 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 our diplomats to spy on different nations which is illegal so it's a real shame that the transparency of their mystery science has brought to the world is being met with the fear and repercussions that's being thrown against him because what he has done merely has been getting out the truth and all the details

co-founder and executive director of the israeli committee against house demolitions told me thinks it's a last ditch attempt to attract attention to their plight. i think this is an act of desperation they've turned to the israeli 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 comment 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 you know in the end the 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 moves and let the u.n.
10:16 am
and the international community start to deal with this i think we we have a chance through public opinion and international law to force the israeli government to do justice even towards its own arab citizens. the e.u. cares more about in forcing its borders than people's lives that is the dumbing conclusion reached in the latest report by amnesty international human rights groups claim that europe actively aims to prevent africans from reaching and shows endangering the lives of asylum seekers and there are now increasing calls from critics to holding new governments accountable for the treatment of immigrants. the reports those who do manage to reach europe face increasing discrimination. it may be called the european human. but discord is right to 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 story is a rape doesn't l.s.d. and insulted by gangs of this 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 it is the discrimination and racism in the everyday life that 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 issuing the stern warning that you have got it stick and if you have a whatever you don't report simply 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. all us 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 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 of. it was a policy integration policy to the moments. 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 are solved

could prove just as big a political time jester cilia r.t. brussels and the problems of extremism and intolerance in the e.u. are widely overshadowed now of course as well but a bloke's current economic eggs government across the world indeed preparing for market panic may be ahead of the greek vote this weekend the outcome of which could determine the country's eurozone future now in case south as does britain has already announced some one hundred billion pounds is said to be pumped into its own banks to defend against any backlash author and commentator professor philip berger says the greek exit my spark a europe wide chain reaction. well now it looks like that spain really needs. one and probably italy will need one and then we have said. greece if greece actually exits the euro. legal and ministry of residence so markets investors within that mark underscored leaves and whole host of the

present presidents for countries like finland and germany to say well we may actually leave if you don't get your eye was this in all of that if 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 in but i fear that in in the end the e.c.b. really used to political pressure and start running the printing press. elsewhere around the world this 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 and 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 people were killed and thousands more injured in that nine hundred ninety five plot. dozens of feared dead and thirty

10:22 am
story. 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 is many is just saying 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 but the only thing is that we have thousands of cases which can be very successfully treated here at home i say with all responsibility ninety percent of all treatment is done in 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 . but 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 in russian

elsewhere in the markets the dow jones and nasdaq corrupted more than a half a percent pretty much on the same optimism about stimulus in europe that's the spike consumer confidence falling to the lowest level since november and in europe to foresee that point three percent the dax is up more than one percent again ahead of these elections in greece which might prove well a turning point in the euro zone and if something goes wrong gracefully and eventually if greece should. come out of the of the euro zone and go back to the dark. now also on the currency markets the euro is falling slightly versus the dollar not much of a movement this is really waiting for some kind of outcome before they make any kind of long term movement into one or the other currency and the russian ruble is losing against the basket. and commodities providing support to the russian market
