mineta 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 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
6:03 pm
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 detroit and the other concern is that whichever candidate is elected as president will have powers that at this stage seemingly are unlimited. ortiz policy reporting force there now cairo based human rights activist nor' nor' has told r.t.
6:04 pm
the current situation resembles mubarak era egypt and that the military council and the 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 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 seats in 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 egypt an easy 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

6:06 pm
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 man and. it was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living other al qaeda leaders have not confirmed or denied levy's death the video could have been taped before he's 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
6:07 pm
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 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
6:08 pm
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 out. the syrian government is 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 syria is currently

6:11 pm
demolitions 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 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 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 there in 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

government accountable for the treatment of immigrants and as archie's ties are silly reports of those who do manage to reach europe face increasing discrimination . it may be called the european union 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 girls a rape was 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. in all of europe a woman with a bill 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 the

6:18 pm
this hour i'll be back with a recap of the headlines in just a bit but right now the head of crucial international talks in moscow on iran's nuclear program r.t. hears from the country's top nuclear negotiator saeed jalili. 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
6:19 pm
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 at pretty low what do you think should be done in order for these 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 guided by 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 we stick to the same strategy to the same approach then the prospects for the talks are promising iranian nuclear facilities have been targeted by here to other cyber attack and we don't know there are regions of these attacks where there are a lot of speculations on the subject i would like to ask you how serious this threat is and whether the sophistication of this kind of attacks is crying over
6:20 pm
time. you know that iran's nuclear activities are entirely under the control of the i.a.e.a. you see all the activity. as we're currently conducting or in full compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty all the nuclear activities are equipped with i.a.e.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
6:21 pm
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 and peaceful activities shockingly enough the 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 are
6:22 pm
discussing the possibility of a military strike against iran. if israel israel ever decides to go it had. the united states. iran has been concerned over this issue for many years now this has to do with the belligerent and illegitimate nature of the zionist regime and i think these kinds of statements help to reveal their true nature these 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 higher this regime is as weak as ever and it's orthorexic. 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 illegitimate still the
6:23 pm
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 care of this conflict what do they make sense for. our laws as their side of it but rather as a sort of sacrifice to prevent many more deaths. another issue that we've brought up of the talks in istanbul and 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
6:24 pm
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 these 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.
6:25 pm
