days before an important presidential runoff 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 just a simple forty 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 a 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 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 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. cairo based

human rights activist nora nora has told r.t. the current situation resembles mubarak era egypt and that the military council and muslim brotherhood's political ambitions are to blame let us not forget that for the last year and a half the supreme council of armed forces had designed the 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 their behavior of completely abandoning the revolution and running after the seats either in parliament for the presidency 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 of course we'll be following egypt's historic presidential runoff throughout the weekend don't miss our special coverage here on r.t. . can you like. to grab the tyrannical. rabble to. subscribe. instead to. get. a fresh u.s. drone strikes in pakistan keep pouring in that's despite the country's officials demanding a halt to the attacks which they say are against international law at least three people have been killed in the latest incident and as washington continues to defend its tactics the civilian death toll in the country keeps rising she's going

to can explain. 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 usually but earlier this month american officials proudly announced that a drone strike in pakistan killed one of those 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 this the video could have been taped before his death 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 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 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 guys the president approves the list of those bad guys by the way the kill list on secret evidence was 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 out. the syrian government is warning of possible suicide bomb attacks in mosques in damascus after the 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 syria's currently seeing one of the most serious escalation in violence since an international truce was brokered two months ago but there's now growing doubt in the western media over the government's involvement in atrocities but reports also implicating rebels in the bloodshed some journalists went as far as claiming they've been set up by the opposition to come under fire from the government for it from government forces other agnus merriam a christian monastery in syria claims she received one of the first accounts from a recent massacre she says portraying the conflict in black and white terms is unacceptable. we want to defer to the word and to wear a flowing no two is a senior to tell you in donated wood to end the people they have seen

and getting out of the national. hospital in toledo could upset arms and blankets off the ministry of health screening them to assemble them in a mosque and the second day we have seen the u.n. observers come into these very modest to be able to look to see. what could be that was. odd to me would keep those people national horse then carried them into blankets and give them to the opposition close aides use why men have all under possibility to show them we stagger all the story do is or you end up sort of a. man we don't know who they had i am doc was issued and there's many so that each one of those factions and working independently it's why it's very difficult to then you would say i had president 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 help her co-founder and executive director of the israeli committee against house demolitions 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 he's really 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 kahneman 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 news and let the u.n. and the international community start to deal with this 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. don't forget all the stories we're covering here on r t can also be accessed online and there's much more on our dot com people today find five stories and compound life spider-man suit that could climb its way into the future the u.s. military. was down the drain that with a brain billion dollar highway in russia's far east gets washed away by not what high profile event of road was built for our.

the e.u. cares more about enforcing its borders than people's lives that's the damning conclusion reached in the latest report by amnesty international the human rights group claims europe actively aims. prevent africa from reaching its shores endangering the lives of silent seekers there are now increasing calls from critics to hold your government accountable for the treatment of immigrants that are. reports those who do manage to reach europe face increasing discrimination. it may be called the european 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. molested and insulted

by gangs of. 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. of europe a woman with a bill can go into any shop and buy anything she wants but it cannot work in this shop with isn't the reporter 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 on the street or issue on this term woman that you have. reports and click 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 us access to goods and services not 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 policy to the migrants i never knew that if there is a policy it's not the follow 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. now the problem of extremism and intolerance in the you are widely

actually if you don't get your eye was this in more so than they would have a more credible threat. to push other countries to do the necessary stuff so it's very open how this all limp but i fear that in the end the d.c.b. really used to political pressure and start running the printing press but. now it's a go at some other stories from around the world around one thousand protesters took to the streets of the malaysian capital calling for an end to the violence between muslim and buddhist any of these in. many of the demonstrators from muslims forced to leave the rest they tried to march on myanmar as embassy where they were met by police are going to take terry in violence has already seen dozens killed and thousands of homes. japanese police have arrested the one suspect linked to the deadly gas attack on tokyo subway seventeen years ago the

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 have 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 the new round of talks to be a success or. in the name of the most gracious the most merciful we have always said between our actions we are going to clear logic we do welcome dialogue we have always been open to 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 don't know there are regions of these are tagged where there are a lot of speculations on the subject i would like to ask you how serious this threat is and whether the stick a shot of this kind of attacks is crying over time. you know that iran's nuclear activities are entirely on. of the control of the i.a.e.a.

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

why do some people commit subversive acts against a country involved in legitimate peaceful activities shockingly enough be openly admits that this is all they're doing these phrases yet another question that why does the international community that claims to live under the rule of law accept a situation when all the rules are violated and countries seeking to exercise their legitimate rights are discriminated against this kind of discrimination is not limited to one country only you must be aware that luckily enough neither terror attacks and nor cyber attacks nor other acts of intimidation have done any harm or stop to the progress of uranium people on air israeli officials at all possibility of a military strike against iran. if israel israel. ever

decides to go i had. from the united states. iran has been concerned over this issue for many years now this has to do with the belligerent and illegitimate mixture 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 time and again this regime thinks it has the right to make these statements and threaten the whole world high over this regime is as weak as ever and it's all through has. the only thing that is clear is that the world is aware of its military and hawkish nature and that any steps taken by the regime are illegitimate still the regime continues to operate on the wrong and illegitimate basis we are well aware there be iranian leadership or supporters of russia in what he describes as he struggled

with terrorism organizations in syria giving bloody nature of this conflict would only make sense for bashar assad to step down as their side of defeat but rather as a sort of sacrifice to prevent many more deaths. another issue that we've brought up of the talks in istanbul in baghdad is that we are prepared to discuss regional issues including the situation in bahrain syria and other similar issues we think the resists simple solution to them 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 for 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 be easy aspirations and believe that it's the syrian people that should decide on the ultimate solution but any outside interference 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 decisions on the reforms which 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. culture is that so much i'm going to be a huge musician the person trying to hide from them are when violence in syria is

now officially called a civil war this is probably cold comfort with the syrian people as western powers decide to fade. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charging welcome to the big picture.
