the traitor square burns of egyptian liberals and islam is squashed of the present leaving an unspoken peace accord between the two sides in tulsa. as plain as day mosco claims only legal raid equipment was being transported on a passenger jet grounded by turkey slamming accusations there were weapons on board . and the british foreign office denies of world war two veterans a russian medal issued to commemorate that service saying down to the bravery it was to following the.

international news line from moscow this is aussie with me hello and welcome to the program it was a rises night in taksim square where the church and liberals and islamists slogging out stead differences in a hail of rocks fire bombs and even bullets it all began with an opposition ran against president morsi and his first one hundred days in power but the gathering was soon joined by the muslim brotherhood and as journalist about church falls that's when things turned ugly. what happened was there were two protests organized today one by the liberal forces who are complaining against most these last one hundred days his plan that he said he would be able to to achieve significant changes to key social issues i mean egypt also going to the constituent assembly we're currently troughing egypt's national talk to which is being dropped in quite an islamist way so we had the liberals who were here to protest against back to the

same time the brotherhood came down there was an organized protest in the brotherhood and the brotherhood said political party of the f.t.p. the freedom and justice party against a recent ruling acquitting twenty five people who were involved to recall to be involved in the back of the camel one of the bloodiest battles of the eighteen days last year when we had really with liberals and islamists in particular through brotherhood supporters meeting on top here which then erupted in clashes this afternoon because she's continuing mahmoud street which where we've seen many crashes before an event by december and kind of top street and just behind me as you can see by the museum i personally witnessed a lot of rock throwing several very heavy head injuries to talk throwing we have heard gunshots there's been no police presence whatsoever even though in more sees a hundred day plan he did say that he would talk security in the country and reassure people that they wouldn't see scenes like this which is what we're witnessing right now there is an obviously a growing political islam happening in this country what we saw recently was the

supreme guide of the most in brotherhood he made quite a contentious statement recently calling for jihad or holy war on jerusalem to wrestle it away from the jewish population and give it back to the muslims this is a very contentious statement made morsi himself the president hasn't affirmed it all distanced himself from the statement but of course the spot many feel is in addition which is one of the reasons why liberals came to the square today we see a massive a sion of the constitution which that was the key at the moment key articles in the constitution like article two an article thirty six relating to the egyptian penal code and those who are taking the women's rights or. seeing a lot of islam my ization image of people are saying that the egyptian all should not just derive from from islamic sharia but actually follow islamic sharia these are one of the ongoing battles within the constituent assembly so basically what we're seeing is in a grassroots level the national level the political level quite a heavy islam is ation of egypt. jerusalem post reporter yaakov lumpen says if the

draft constitution is passed egypt will inevitably become an islamic state if we look at some of the draft laws that are now up for debate so we were very concerned for anybody who would like to see egypt really circular democratic. there was a draft clause that would make all hands are of the foremost sunni islamic wording institution some sort of body that would be able to decide whether he was or compatible incompatible with islamic law and these are the basic steps that one would take if one wishes to set up an islamic state i think so long as a majority of people who are setting up the new constitution are islamists they will naturally seek to create an islamic. i don't see how that could be avoided. while later because not the only arab countries seeing violence and police brutality in the streets coming out reign security forces once again lash out at a peaceful protesters demanding democratic change as the monarchy reinforces ties

with its powerful military back at great britain. and spain's national day fractured spine is what catalonia separate it's not taking too kindly turn on to independence march in that stronghold of buffalo. that's later but now russia has rebuffed turkish claims that a damascus bound civilian flight from moscow was carrying illegal military equipment on wednesday take it scrambled fighter jets to force the passenger plane to land and send soldiers to seize the cargo most of this from his tongue. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that the contents of the plane which was removed was totally legal the documents were checked in moscow as the syrian plane departed but the equipment wasn't designed to be sneakily smuggled into the syrian government and that it broke no international laws. there was certainly no

armaments on this plane and there simply could not have been any ideals here the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from a legitimate russian supplier to a legitimate customer in a legitimate way it was a cargo of electrical supplies for radar stations this is jewel purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international conventions that should be shipping documents comply with all relevant requirements and delivering such a type of cargo by a commercial air carrier is a perfectly standard practice. this statement is the latest twist in this angry diplomatic route over this plane that was forced to land it follows a statement by turkish prime minister. saying that they found military equipment and ammunition on the plane of russian origin russia and its turn says that turkey's actions in sending up fighter jets to escort the plane down was excessive and put passengers at risk and passengers on the plane themselves said

that turkish authorities acted with excessive force the plane has now gone on towards damascus but there are concerns that this could further inflame tensions between turkey and syria. in syria the only has prevented rebel forces from seizing missiles when they entered a defensive base where they know that such have the rebels supported by al qaida have openly admitted they were fighting side by side with al qaeda extremists u.s. based on a list jeff steinberg believes backing the group's infiltrated by terrorists is a real crime turkey saudi arabia qatar are involved in violating international law by violating the embargo against any military supplies going to either side in the syria conflict it's an open secret that there are massive amounts of weapons many of which were originally taken from start files

in libya that are going into the hands of the armed rebels many of whom are radical all qaeda linked. the jihadi so turkey has blood on its hands is arming the rebels and it's becoming more and more obvious that the. elements are emerging increasingly as a dominant factor in the opposition to the assad government so i think that this incident was an attempt to cover for their own violation of the same sions and their own abuse of any kind of attempt to be a mediating factor in this crisis. more analysis on the timeline of the stories lined up at all to you and you can also find exactly exclusive and first hand reports from the passengers on the crew of the you see where the plane intercepted

by turkey and they describe badly they were treated at all. ranks by devastating debt crisis mass protests and a rise of radicalism but it's not all gloom for the e.u. that the blog has been awarded the nobel peace prize for showing peace across europe but reaction has been to say the least a varied with cheers and paris in sharp contrast to shocks does believe in athens international best and author james rodgers says the blocks achievements are in for a test. i assure you next week or next month when people are out rioting in the streets again in parts of europe they're not going to care about this though. nobody's going to remember except whoever gets that yeah the judge is going to be spent just like that but there's going to be a lot more pain in your europe has been spending money they don't have that's going to have to stop and it's going to cause more riots in the streets more social

unrest more governments failing and perhaps even country so i think that perhaps even people pulling out of the euro conceivably if you have huge amounts of tension in europe and the euro breaking up that could increase tension that many changes and could lead to war again in europe i've seen it before said to be a long way away but it could happen again if this causes if the present circumstances cause the euro to break up. and that has to europe's unity is already underway in spain where tensions over cuts alone years before independence came to a head even as the nobel peace prize was being awarded calls for a breakaway state in this punish region of catalonia are among the largest in the view with feelings running high among the people that a mass protest is especially in the capital madrid that's going to be a part of a chain of change. happening and five cities around the world today but with regards to catalonia. michela sing their research at the european think tank

a fried sense part of a big the e.u. problem. this really reveals a kind of a kind of real crisis either in spain or in the lot also a few rippin countries and obviously we can disconnect the cuts are doing you know issue from the global financial crisis that is going on in the european union but that said when it comes to this. for a noble prize for the european union obviously it comes into contradiction with boasts what the european union is doing on the european level. and what do you opinion is doing in the rest of the world so i think that i mean the same way that we've seen or the same way that happened a few years ago when obama got the nobel peace prize i think that what is going on is that we can see that the nobel peace prize is much more a symbolical stance a symbolical process or decision that has the aim of just favoring some actors in

order to push them to do better than what they are doing. this is still to come in the program. we realize all the religions are the same you look at each different book every book has a similar story. rising is raging waning in the do asanas he's resident in the repulsion is the question to you. decades ago thousands of britons lay their lives on the line for their country and its allies but getting recognition for their bravery today seems harder than showing it on his staff at the start. for not see you both and aircraft be a good guide into the spray and the. people fell overboard and there i mean the temperature will whirl whirl below zero zero and there i mean the temperature will whirl whirl below zero i mean i was nineteen years of age eighteen

years of age going up to russia and endure an order. but we done it were a good hour because the chopper to be done turn stories and memories are among the most harrowing of the war for the russians it was more than just supplies it was psychological support contributing hugely to the war effort that's why in april the russian president awarded the medal to the allies he'd taken part in the convoy missions but incredibly the push governments blocking russia from rewarding british veterans for their valor. of the arctic convoys in recognition of your outstanding contribution into cooperation due to world war two the description of. a attack with apparently. unless the british government. is

a non starter what i think. why the foreign office it's against the rules in order for permission to be given for an award to be accepted there has to be a specific service to the country concerned and that service should have taken place within the previous five years john's wife says that's ridiculous they're all late eighty's early ninety's some of them what on earth are they supposed to do over the last five years they still pray at main what they were during the war it never leaves. so why are they being painted and not being given this. i think it's disgraceful absolutely disgraceful angry not just from a whole mile the ship might those and those who passed on across the bars please cite to me this disgusting john says it's time the current prime minister says that

today the decent thing common diver awhile now should we was there in there yes we were all in together. the russians the americans the french the belgium yes we were all in it together then but apparently we've been left there because you believe we can have this medal everybody. really but the foreign countries we're not there the campaign is in both britain and russia i refusing to back down and pushing the government to get these men properly rewarded for their bravery it's. really extraordinary service and be. important. in the history of our alliance very important not only for supplies important also. in service ecological way and it was.

people during the war to see that. the pivotal war time he found friendship through real adversity illustrated by john's pitches and stories of his time working with the russians down saying. these are the medals that john received for his heroic the cheering world war two and he was hoping along with the other veterans involved in the arctic convoys to add the cause medal to their collection but as long as the british government continues to refuse to allow them to be awarded they won't be adding that medal that they say deserve. r.t. london. and more stories at r.t. dot com for you including how you are selection fever has knocked some americans literally on their feet one of barack obama's secret service agents i hate it but it's the bottle and parses out on a sidewalk in miami a right out of the presidential visit to the sit. and also find out why europe's

most neutral and stable state is more than lives in troops preparing for mass civil and brave. great britain has signed a military treaty with bahrain which focuses on the joint training of troops and virus to bind the country in case of external aggression the deal comes amid fear among the country's opposition which continues to accuse the security forces of a violent crime down on peaceful protesters demonstrators parked at mandela's treats a once again on friday calling for the monarchy to ease its choking grip and move for democratic change as police lashed out at them using riot gear to despise the rally while at least ten people were arrested and eye witnesses from bahrain center for human rights confirms that the security forces pulled no punches on those who

dared to speak out. there were hundreds of. hours just peacefully protesting demanding freedom and democracy and determination there they were attacked severely by. clinics and they as many of. the protesters they were just peacefully all think flag of. and only the picture of some of the detainees and. freedom freedom peaceful peaceful and that's just the attack the whole without the war they just directed to the to the head the what we call it of just like a child. we want freedom we want freedom. and dominic kavakeb from bahrain's justice and development movement believes western nations have too much to lose from reforms in bahrain. obviously doesn't send

a particularly fantastic message when you're sending weapons to a country that is using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill to injure to crush protests to crush an essentially democracy but i think. the reason why why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep the brain as an ally seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship what these governments don't realize or right to refuse to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince the north to pressure them into reform perhaps they misunderstand the strength play hardball perhaps you know that they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if they you know if there were democratic change but the reality is the people of bahrain of calling for democracy they're calling for a change i don't have to be against the western interests i should i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world would have a democratic unstable country to some other news from around the world now massive

clashes have wrought colombia's campus hold over tired students and activists swarms the streets demanding changes in the country's economic policies police responded with tear gas and water cannons arresting more than seventy people as they protest against financial inequality demonstrations were not limited to the capital only as around three hundred thousand people participated nationwide. somali troops along with african union forces have gained control of a town held by al qaeda linked islam that they reportedly did it without firing a single bullet they didn't meet any resistance the army has been struggling to drive a hardline insurgents out of the country they still control several towns north east of the capital and along the coastline. hundreds of spectators. in los angeles have enjoyed the sooted final journey of the u.s. space shuttle endeavor as a graze this it is treats it slowly crawled through the avenues often making stops

to themselves i mean you can be religious without going to a sanctuary or something along that line so i think the perception has probably changed a lot i just got baptized last year everybody has their own way of coming to their beliefs but for us it was just you know we're getting older and you know we're getting closer to those they say the pearly gates. but we're grose was insurance you got baptized for insurance purposes. believe what you want to believe but don't force it on other people or use it for you know things that hurt other people is that what it is is that people see organized religion as something detrimental to other people well i'm speaking i guess for mostly myself here but you know that's what makes sense to me yeah when you see wars being waged in the name of religion it makes it yes the bottom line is american seems to be losing their faith in organized religion which might be less of a sign of their waning spirituality and more of an indication that it might be time

to reorganize. while western countries amongst the golden age of growth and a booming consumer spending in angel even the low standards of living come shake people's belief in the future. in a country where every. one in three people is still living in poverty it's hard to imagine things are looking up but many people in india seem to think that's the case with me believing that if you had it only stronger. you can only go to the store and that's where the people are feeling strong willed and while the poverty rate in the u.s. is still less than half the rate in india some experts say that indians are actually more optimistic about their economy than those in the west. you know everybody my quality of life my hope is high but if we can see that we can prove

that it was joint so it's a relative thing really about. not so much about where you are as where you can get to. and i think a lot of western economies few posts past even in the u.s. . according to a recent poll almost seventy percent of indians categorize the economic situation in the country as good making it one of the top five most economically confident countries in the world in the u.s. less than thirty percent of people were positive about the economic situation while india's economy has seen tremendous growth over the years the rate of growth has been cut in half in the last five still several polls suggest the consumer confidence is op here and many believe that's because the government has put in place reforms that's going to keep the country's economy moving in the right direction the most talked about reform foreign direct investment would open up india to multi brand international retailers like wal-mart and tesco but recent

reforms definitely makes indians more cornford been p.s. if you look at their political one man. it does more than me a lot of competition so i expect that things will be much better being a. different investors the world's a growing bones of my income old. so to the world what we can see that ok i mean we have the money on the consumer has good power so you come i mean most of india so we're going to buy your product pulled optimism when the rest of the world is more cautious about what's in store preassure either r t new delhi india and up next aussie talks so jonas positive former consultants to the us state department discussing america's current foreign policy. was a few. thank
