and that was announced yesterday just two days before an important presidential runoff and according to that decision the islamist 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 the 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 their candidate dr mohamed morsi although he did warn that it 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 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 perspire only 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 detroit and be. the other concern is

that whichever candidate is elected as president will have powers that at this stage seemingly are unlimited. cairo based human rights activist nor nor has told r.t. the current situation resembles the mubarak era egypt and that the military council and muslim brotherhood political ambitions archipelago. the court ruling that we saw yesterday from the supreme constitutional court was a very strong reminder to the egyptian population that all of egypt's institutions are still followers of new world and there are still these still belong to the mubarak regime. verdict from your city was a mere reminder that we are now back to square one let us not forget that for the last year and a half the supreme council of armed forces had designed the transitional phase in such a way to eliminate any form of opposition or any form of alternative to the supreme

council of armed forces and it was because of the behavior of the muslim brotherhood over the last eighteen months the behavior of completely abandoning the revolution and running after the seats are the parliament for the presidency that campaigns such as this which means boycotting boycotting campaigns were established several weeks ago in order to encourage people not to give legitimacy to these elections simply because they were placed by the supreme council of armed forces and to see how the second round of the historic presidential election in egypt unfolds don't miss our special coverage here on r t throughout this weekend. remnants of the.

reports of fresh u.s. drone strikes in pakistan keep pouring in despite the country's officials demanding a halt 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 r.t. is going to explain. 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. it was posted online with titles which are generally

reserved for the living 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 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 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 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 been directly accused this bureau of investigative journalism which works to shed light on civilian deaths in those drone strikes of helping terrorists why. 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's this

line of thought in washington. it's all perfectly fine as long as we're fighting the bad guy 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 kind of chicken. still had on our t.v. act of desperation i would. like to make it in the guinness book of records saying their settlements destroyed by israeli authorities thirty. also no unity in the e.u. discord over immigration is mounting within the block as critics accuse governments of using part time tactic with deadly consequences. the syrian government is warning of possible suicide bomb attacks in mosques in damascus after

it arrest of a man with ties to al-qaeda linked group the suspect is said to have can fast he was going to blow himself up in the center of the capital with serious currently seen one of the most serious escalation in violence since international truce was brokered two months ago but there's now growing doubt in the western media over the government's involvement in atrocities with reports also implicating rebels in the bloodshed some journalists went as far as claiming the opposition had deliberately set some victims up to be shot by the syrian army other agnes meir. am a christian monastery in syria claims he received one of the first accounts. at recess portraying the conflict in black and white terms it's unacceptable. we want to defer this in the world to where a phone is a scene or to tell you in the night of war would end the people don't they have seen the militia and carrying out of from the national hospital in toledo corpse in

arms a blanket off the ministry of health screening them to assemble them in a mosque and the second day we have seen the un observers coming to these very modest to be able to see these laws because it's not possible. to me would keep those people international hospital then carried them in the blankets and give them to the opposition close aides use why men have all under possibility to show them we see they're all on the story the u.n. observers believe man we don't know whom they had armed opposition they have many say that each one of those factions are working independently zits why it's very difficult to then you would say i had. residents of a palestinian village have contacted the guinness book of world records to register

that their village has been demolished by israel thirty eight times to have help or a co-founder and executive director of the israeli committee against house demolished thanks 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 common 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 of 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 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. so forget all the stories we cover here in our team can also be accessed online and there's much more at our three dot com for you including five five stories come to life that spider-man suit that could climb its way into the future of the u.s. military. bust down the drain with the brain of a billion dollar highway in russia's far east gets washed away by that what high profile of that the road was built for its online at our t.v. dot com.

the e.u. cares more about enforcing its borders then people's lives that's the damning conclusion reached in the latest report by amnesty international human rights groups claims europe actively aims to prevent africa from reaching its shores endangering the lives of asylum seekers there are now increasing calls from critics to hold governments accountable for the treatment of immigrants sorties tells our affiliate 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. stuck in our streets. molested and insulted by gangs of immigrants 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 europe a woman with a. can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but who build woman cannot work in this shop but what is in the report is the discrimination and racism in everyday life to people are facing because they don't report because they don't trust the police so every time on the street or issue in this time women that you have to cut off you have. reports and click at 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 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. i never knew that if there is a policy it's not the full of too far as i know of those who make the policy europe's economic troubles which are preoccupying leaders show no sign of ending soon but the race and immigration issues they've left on solved 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 the blocs current economic headaches governments across the world are preparing for market panic ahead of the greek vote this weekend the outcome of which could determine the future. in case athens does exit britain's announce some hundred billion pounds will be pumped into its own banks to defend against any backlash author and commentator professor phillip bagus says a greek exit may spark a europe wide chain reaction. well now it looks like that spain will need. one this has happened probably italy will need one and then we have suppression of greece if greece actually exits the euro this person legal and ministering to the president so markets and the sort of thing that could leave and well most of the

recent presidents for countries like finland or germany to say well we may actually leave if you don't get your i was this immoral so and so then they would have them are credible threat. to other countries to do the necessary. so it's very open how this all him but i fear that in the end the d.c.b. relates to political pressure and start running the printing press but. look now elsewhere around the world that some headlines around one thousand protesters took to the malaysian capital calling for an end to violence between muslim and buddhist communities in bathroom e.m.r. many of the demonstrators were most of them forced to flee on a raft they tried to march on me on mars and the scene where they were met by police the ongoing sectarian violence has already seen thousands and thousands of homes torched. 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 group which had access to chemical and biological weapons in the two hundred of its members have criminal records. thirty people were killed and thousands more injured in the nineteen ninety five block. security forces have regained control over a large crowd of rioters in indonesia's province a mob furious after police killed an independent activist set fire to shops and cars and stabbed one onlooker to death police arrested three people and seized several homemade bombs and weapons officers in the province have been dealing with armed insurgents and growing violence in recent months. i'll be back with a recap of the headlines up next ahead of the crucial international talks in moscow

on iran's nuclear program r.t. caught up with the country's top nuclear negotiator so you have to view the that's next. another round of talks on the iranian nuclear issue is about to begin in moscow is it likely to produce any tangible results while to discuss that we are now joined by iran's chief nuclear negotiator say jelly thank you very much for your time sir we've seen so many rounds that produce so little results and the expectations at

this moment are pretty low what do you think should be done in order for these new round of talks to be a success. in the name of the most gracious the most merciful one we have always seen our actions clear logic we do welcome dialogue we have always been . nope into a corporation and talks with different countries on a wide range of issues including corporation in nuclear energy but there needs to be a certain strategy if you stick to the same strategy to the same approach then the prospects for the talks are promising iranian nuclear facilities have been targeted by yet another cyber attack and we all know there are regions of the tag where there are a lot of speculations on this subject i would like to ask you how serious this threat is and where their. kind of attacks is crying. you know that iran's nuclear activities are entirely under the control of the

i.a.e.a. yeah. all the activities we're currently conducting are in full compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty all the nuclear activities are equipped with surveillance cameras that cynical with i.a.e.a. rules that in fact the international community is now concerned about quite a different thing you know why do some people take the liberty to speak out against victim it is the dog peaceful controlled by the i he said and in compliance with the n.p.t. if this opposition does not boil down to cyber attacks saloon the international community is now openly asking why some of our scientists working at peaceful nuclear facilities are targeted by terrorists that these people's names are on the least of those the un security council has introducing channels against you this makes the terrorist feel free to exterminate the blacklisted people so the question is what is the relation between the terrorists and the security council but another

question why do some people commit subversive acts against a country involved in legitimate. bts shockingly enough the openly admit that this is all they're doing these phrases yet another question that why does the international community. so you that claims to live under the rule of law how to accept a situation when all the rules are violated and countries seeking to exercise their legitimate rights are discriminated against and this kind of discrimination is not limited to one country only you must be aware of that luckily not at all neither. and nor cyberattacks nor other acts of intimidation have done any harm as all stop to the progress people on the phone many israeli officials are discussing a possibility of a military strike against iranian nuclear facilities do you think if israel israel

ever decides to go it had pull from the united states. iran has been concerned over this issue for many years now and this has to do with the belligerent and illegitimate nature of the zionist regime and i think these kinds of statements help to reveal the true nature of this kind of statement shows that the regime is keen to achieve its goals by capturing invading brandishing its military might if time and again this regime thinks it has the right to make these statements and threaten the whole world that high over. as weak as ever and it's. the only thing that is clear is that the world is aware of its militaristic and hawkish nature and that any steps taken by the regime. are still the regime continues to operate on a wrong and illegitimate basis we are well aware that the iranian leadership strongly support. what he describes as he struggled with terrorism

organizations in syria giving the bloody nature of this conflict what do they make sounds for bashar assad to step down as their sign of defeat but rather as a sort of sacrifice to prevent. that's. another issue that we brought up at the talks in istanbul and baghdad is that we are prepared to discuss regional issues including the situation in bahrain syria and other simulation use we think the reason simple solution to their own and it boils down to one thing you need to respect the people to respect democracy if the international community demonstrates a genuine desire to debate these issues then we could come up with a very viable solution we have consistently called call these in regard to syria but there are two problems in syria first its people demand reforms and they need

to be introduced we respect to these aspirations and believe that it's the syrian people that should decide on the ultimate solution any old sided to fear and so will not help it's wrong to supply weapons or train terrorists these actions will never be in line with be interests of the syrian people and syrian people must be empowered to take their own decision as on the reforms and this would be unacceptable to supply arms or support terrorists and so on and it will only result in more casualties among civilians and bloodshed this is the wrong path to success . if you're following. the.

car sort of a twelve pack and like a part of. it goes back to a time when people would wipe out of their forces in the wild and pick up these huge it's important into the sheriff for prosecution to go look up in may. oh don't get me and when they go out there he's got weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad can. get loans. we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind how does the two million dollar deal for his arrest. without super hero be can be told to enough to shoot me in the head i'm going to die. once you've had a man you know never go back to i know anything else.

today children play war in the old keys to me. but in june nine hundred forty one these walls were the first barrier for the nazi troops on their way to moscow. sunders umbrellas were dying one by one under ceaselessly. water. in the last shelter and on main soldier left a few simple words very well. i'm dying but i'm not surrendering.
