in. the. egypt's new leader gets the cold shoulder in the united states to lessen america's influence after its predecessors decades of being washington friendly. a brazen syrian rebel attack on a border posts and the lebanese army out for revenge while it's between pro and anti assad functions spilling across the middle east it's. also the hundreds of millions of pounds spent by the british government of foreign countries that barely need aid while pushing further costs and benefit caps at home. in the

storm at sea as china unveils drone surveillance plants bore islands it disputes with japan but fears that the asian giants could be surging towards a regional war. hello and welcome to our team where we have the latest news for you from around the globe on screen and online i'm karen tara while the growing anti-american chorus in the muslim world sees more salt to being rubbed into wounded relations between the united states and egypt it's a concern that critics say is highlighted by the fact that no meeting is expected between the leaders during president morsi is a visit to the u.s. for the u.n. general assembly policy or has more on whether egypt's new leader will be able to

show more independence from washington than his predecessor. mohamed morsi came to power on promises to make how could the capital of palestine and open up egypt's corridor with gaza his presidency promised his supporters a chance to reclaim egypt some pride especially on the international stage one of the curious things is that the americans have been to egypt since morsi was elected and they congratulated him but morsi didn't rush off to united states he went to china instead and also to iran which was a diplomatic snub to you know it it states but the snub it seems more of a token gesture because when angry egyptians took to the streets to protest against the united states the muslim brotherhood kept in the background and president morsi criticism of the u.s. was muted dr saeed sadik a longtime observer of egyptian foreign policy says morsi cannot replace the united states with another world superpower but godless of how much you might want to

change your foreign policy or restructure it it's a big process and you need the alternative and the alternative is not i don't think china is the need for. being a policeman the fact is that for egypt to prosper and solve its economic problems it still needs washington cairo sees close to two billion u.s. dollars a year in economic and military aid and so two and a half months into his presidency the new muslim brotherhood president is having to maintain an increasingly delicate balancing act his hardline supporters on the one hand the waist and washington on the other prompting many observers to ask what if anything has changed since mubarak's era it today is not very different than it had been under mubarak egypt u.s. relations during the mubarak era were quite strong the u.s. is an important partner. economic partner for egypt and it would be very difficult for us to any president coming in during the crisis to rock the boat but the recent

finding demonstrations during. talks of a proposed one billion american dollars in debt relief to egypt and although washington stresses this is merely temporary and there's no major shift in u.s. aid to egypt and the relationship between the two countries remains strained this wall was erected several days ago to prevent protest as for meeting the american embassy on the other side but there is no sign of anyone wanting to take it down a physical reminder of the growing barrier that now exists between cairo and washington but it's a barrier that neither side wants to make permanent because while morsi might be poles apart politically from his predecessor on the international front he's trading remarkably close. in his latest interview ahead of his u.s. trip the gyptian leader to washington should make the first steps to restore its image in the arab world and mend ties with karo the homage of morsi it explicitly

says america's unconditional support for israel and its meddling into some arab states affairs has bought only hatred from people there and he insists that egypt will no longer live by u.s. rules watch what the president has to say to the american public and party dot com . lebanon has ordered its security forces to hunt down a contingent of rebels from the free syrian army after a firefight at a border checkpoint the militants had launched an attack on a lebanese border post from syria before escaping for their inland and as are the coffin of now reports for lebanon it's a bitter reminder of the past. lebanon fought its own civil war on sectarian lines for fifteen years and now the syrian conflict is literally spilling across its border syrian troops have carried out incursions into lebanese territory rebels take shelter in lebanese towns it is aggravated unshielded wounds from the past

both sides who showed no willingness to disarm. ok. you know this is the leader of a sunni militia here in tripoli has bubbled to ban islam i asked him whether peace with his opponents is possible. as long as assad remains in power there won't be peace in syria lebanon or iraq or palestine threw be no peace while he is in force in neighboring general must send an alawite fighter shows me the destroyed remains of his home when asked to explain the recent fighting with his sunni neighbors this was his response not the dollars just that we are defending ourselves against machines of terror most mary snow i've been reading from that read. even the push to defend israel's most unifying figure the prophet mohammad wasn't enough to bridge lebanon's sick tarion divide in beirut separate protests against an anti islam video has been a trend tens of thousands of shias to the streets days later the hard line sunni

six figure salaries and million pound bonuses britain's hefty foreign aid budget includes an annual spend of two hundred eighty million pounds that goes to india that's despite the fact that india's economy is so successful that they themselves provide two billion pounds worth of international aid each year at a time when the coalition government is considering freezing benefits for the most vulnerable in the u.k. society some m.p.'s are wondering whether all this time pay is money should be spent they call questionable foreign aid the department for international development. but that hasn't stopped building a new office in the going to be quite shortly spending four hundred thousand pounds of money. now this isn't the kind of spending that given the pressure on their own budgets for critics of the u.k.'s substantial foreign aid budget there's more bad news on the way prime minister david cameron is planning on increasing it that's

a show of skill reports. there will be no members of the opposition inside the belorussian parliament old hundred deputies which were elected following sunday's parliamentary elections will be supporting president lukashenko current political course this is according to the central election commission in this election the ballot was and then that number of international observers with more than four hundred observers of which were from the european union some of the international observers criticized the election calling them undemocratic and saying that the members of the opposition were not registered in the course of the campaign and had very little airtime on television which violates all democratic norms now such a result of the election comes as no surprise to most of the political analyst i spoke to some of them inside brother was just last week saying that they would not expect anything different from this election mainly because the opposition in the

country had been divided part of the opposition decided to boycott the election and other part of the opposition withdrew from the election at the very last moment this election a brain so very grim picture for. relations with the european union with so much criticism coming from europe which you were actually had hoped for a proper democratic election this time but certainly given the comments coming from the international european observers about the election this seems to be it still seems to be an issue and hardly the relations between minsk and the rest of europe will become any better anytime soon china plans to use on man drones to increase its presence around the islands that are at the center of a vulture dispute with japan they will conduct marine surveillance of the area three chinese patrol vessels still remain very close to the uninhabited but strategic archipelago and i briefly entered waters which japan consider its territory a conflict seen large scale protests in both countries turn around could be further

. s. taiwanese boats are now heading to the islands to reassert their fishing rights in the area while all around the u.s. is increasing its military activity in the region investigative journalist james corbett both in japan believes washington has an interest in stoking tension between the country and. i think we have to understand this entire dispute not in terms of the islands themselves which most average japanese and average chinese people i think don't don't really care about i think this is being played up as a as a nationalist sentiment nationalist fervor it has the potential to get bigger and right now australia is being proposed as a third party to arbitrate in a trilateral security talks between camber of beijing and tokyo over this dispute so we'll see if it does broaden out into the region we see the u.s. starting its asia pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in increasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more

eager to accept an american military presence which up until now there's been quite strong protests against but now we see them renewing military joint military exercises in guam it cetera so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket says that as it were and i think that's that plays into american interests so i think they actually probably benefit from this dispute defense analyst told r.t. that japan and china could be on their way to starting an all out war. said the secretary of defense that he fears that there. could be the war between your partner china he also expressed that the united states is going to support so that means if you. hope to. charge the labor force to try to. serve its force the change for. of course china tries to follow their measures like try to locate. further so then the united
