dr you square guns as egyptian liberals and islamists slosh clash of the present leaving and spoken of peace accord between the two sides. us plain as day morse code claims only legal great a movement was being transported on a passenger train branded by slamming and crows accusations there were weapons on board. the british foreign office denies world war two veterans a russian issued to come membranes their servers say they are still free where he was to find the past.

this is also you coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the broad ground it was a riotous night into a high of square where egyptian liberals and islamists slugging out their differences in a halo rocks fire bombs and even bullets it all began with an opposition rally against president morsi and his first one hundred days in power but the gathering was soon joined by the muslim brotherhood and as journalist true reports that's when things turned ugly. what happened was there were two protest organized one by the liberal forces who were complaining against these last one hundred days this plan that he said they would be able to to achieve significant change at the key social issues in egypt and also against the constituent assembly who are currently drafting egypt's national charter which is being dropped in quite an islamist way so we had the liberals who were here to protest against that at the same time the

brotherhood came down there was organized protests from the brotherhood and the brotherhood's political party of the f j p the freedom and justice party against the recent ruling acquitting twenty five people who were involved reports of involved in the back of the camel one of the bloodiest battles of the eighteen days last year when we had really was liberals and islamists in particular prove brotherhood supporters meeting on to here which then erupted in clashes in the conscious continuum of mood street 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 throwing we have heard gunshots there's been no police presence whatsoever even though in more seize a hundred day plan he did say that he would up 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 obviously a growing political islam happening in this country what we saw recently was the supreme guide of the muslim 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 distance himself from the statement but of course the spot many fear is in addition we see a massive a sion of the constitution which is obviously 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 really can see women's rights are really seeing a lot of islam is ation in that people are saying the. the egyptian law should not just derive from from islamic sharia but actually following islamic sharia these are one of the ongoing battles within the constituent assembly so basically what we're seeing is on a grassroots level a national level the political level quite a heavy islam isolation of egypt and the james john trends has a way u.s. senate foreign policy analyst to some of the brotherhood's calls to seize jerusalem show us exactly what its goals are. we were seeing

a very rapid islamisation of the political structure in egypt and nobody should be surprised at this. there was a lot of discussion about the power struggle that would ensue between morsi and the military and it seems that morsi and the brotherhood have triumphed much quicker than anybody expected and nobody should doubt what their ultimate intentions are in terms of strict enforcement of our sharia and they recreate the caliphate the key laughter so i think this statement about jihad to recapture jerusalem should not come as any surprise to anyone i don't think the peace treaty with israel ultimately will be honored but we will see what form that takes and what it will take it i think the most important thing that strikes me is it shows the utter incoherence of american policy in the arab world by promoting the islamization of the job to the removal of our long time satrap in egypt hosni mubarak and then we

seem surprised that democracy in egypt has taken this direction so egypt is not the only our country saying violence and police personality in the streets coming out bahrain security forces once again lash out at peaceful protesters demanding political reforms as the monarchy reinforces ties with its powerful military back a great britain. had spain's national day francia spiny is with catalonia separatists not taking too kindly to ninety independence march in that stronghold of books. before that russia has rebuffed claims that a damascus bound civilian flight from moscow was carrying illegal and military equipment on wednesday took a scrambled fighter jets to force the passenger plane to land at a sense soldiers to seize the cargo while base from artists on bot. 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. and there was certainly no on this plane and they simply could not have the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from russian supplier to legitimate customer in a legitimate way it was a cargo of electrical supplies radar stations this is purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international convention shipping documents comply with all relevant requirements and delivering services twice a cargo by a commercial air carrier as a 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 in its turn says that turkey's actions in sending up fighter jets to escort the plane down was excessive put passengers at risk and passengers on the plane themselves said that turkish authorities acted with excessive force but there are concerns that this could further inflame tensions between turkey and syria in syria the army has prevented rebel forces from seizing missiles on the ended a defense base near the northern city of aleppo the rebel supported by ankara openly admitted they were fighting side by side with al qaeda extremists and u.s. based analyst jeff steinberg believes bonking the groups infiltrated by terrorists has 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 fires in libya they're going into the hands of the armed rebels many of whom are radical al-qaeda linked. the jihadists so turkey has blood on its hands is only in the rebels and it's becoming more and more obvious that the qaida elements are emerging recently as the dominant factor in the opposition to the assad government. and more analysis on the timeline on the stories lined up at home and they can also find exclusive and first hand reports from their passengers on the crew of this plane intercepted by and they describe how badly they were treated at port.

rock by devastation debt crisis mass protests and a rise of radicalism but it's not all gloom for the blog has been awarded the nobel peace prize for sowing peace across europe but the reaction has been so say the least buried with cheers in paris and sharp contrast to shocks disbelief in athens and international investors and also james rogers as the blocks achievements are in for a test. i assure you next week or next month when people are out rising in the streets again in parts of europe they're not going to care about the stoke up peace prize no way he's going to remember it except whoever gets the check but the checks going to be spent just like that but there's going to be a lot more pain in europe 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 countries failing and perhaps even people pulling out of the euro conceivably if you have

a huge amounts of tension in europe and the euro breaking up that could increase tension and not diminish tension and could lead to war again in europe. be far fetched to be a long way away but it could happen again if this causes if the present circumstances cause the year old to break up. and that is to europe's union sees a raise and a way in spain where tensions over catalonia as been for 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 e.u. with feelings running high among the people that i'm a scientist i was here protest as expected in the capital madrid two that's going to be a part of the chain of synchronized protests happening in more than fair to five cities around the world today but with regards to catalonia mikhail a senior research at the your paints think tank frind part of a big a huge problem. this really reveals a kind of

a kind of friel crisis either in spain or in the lot also a few up in countries and obviously we can disconnect the cats are doing your issue from the global financial crisis that is going on in the european union but that said when it comes to this reducing of a noble prize to do european union obviously it comes into contradiction with both what the european union is doing on the european level and what do you think he's doing in the rest of the world so i think that's i mean the same way that we've seen at the same way that happened a few years ago when obama got the nobel peace prize i think that that's what is going on is that we can see that the nobel peace prize is much more a symbolical stance or 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. and while the u.s. prays for cable in the continent at peace both who defended it at the time of war

find us that does an expiry dates to the sacrifice and to show crunch the british world war two veterans who served in the russian means a bureaucratic. we realize all the religions with the same you look in each different book every book has a similar story style is reaching a waning in the who was also his residence gloryhole phillips posed the question to you. looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they come speak and good news how they can wrong oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as a strength in canada and the us i come to russia and everybody is so very friendly

they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like alaska and so i felt at home the first sled dog was brought here from australia now must come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail are amazing but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top. grazing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for all phones who brought their dia to life. five years ago for a scare of a bill to duck kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed to the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their full legged friends but smother her schedule also

encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and internet the boys who regularly update their websites and they're in touch with the busy ma the twenty four seven on the phone itself but children are the most important thing my own interests not play any rule any more and regardless of whether parsky has huskies window race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the winning but truly just the taking part that counts. in the autumn of the years. it's never too late to start over.

extreme barack like. when a bar in the championship. or become a part. on arctic. wealthy british style. one. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. this is a. decades ago thousands of britain's laid their lives on the line for

a country under its allies but getting recognition for their bravery today seems harder than showing it. the story. think the worst journey in the world winston churchill's description of the grim ordeal faced the british soldiers who were part of the arctic convoys during world war two getting supplies to russian forces the convoys face danger from above and below not see your base and aircraft it was going into the. how it was. there. the temperature. below zero i was nineteen years of age eighteen years of age going up to russia and then do an order. but we done it. because the chopper to. kill 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 issue of medal to the allies he taking part in the convoy missions but incredibly the push governments blocking russia from rewarding british veterans for their valor. are to calm voice recognition of your outstanding contribution inter allied cooperation due to world war two the description american attack. apparently unless the british government. is a non starter what i think. i'm forgivable war the foreign office says 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 maine or what they were during the war it never leaves them so why are they being painted lowest and not being given this . i think it's disgraceful absolutely disgraceful angry not just from a home or other ship might those here and those who passed on across the bars please cite to me this disgusting. john says it's time the current prime minister stepped in to be the decent thing and i. was there then dyce yes we were all in together. the russians the americans the yes we were all in it together they proudly we've been left out because you leave we can if

this mental everybody's get. out of the foreign countries get a win ok campaign is in place person and russia i refuse to back down in pushing the government to get these men promptly rewarded for their bravery it's a matter of nation. really extraordinary service and the worst. people during the work to see that. the pivotal war time he found friendship first city is straight pitches and stories of his time working with the russians down saying. these are the medals that john was the for his heroic deeds during world war two he was taping along with the other veterans involved in the arctic convoys to add the

issue called 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 does surface r.t. london. stories for years r.t. dot com including how u.s. election fever has knocked some americans literally off their feet one of their articles on the secret service agents that has the bottle and passes out on a sunday walking miami right out of the presidential visit to the city. and also that find out why europe's most neutral and stable state is mobilizing troops preparing for mass civil unrest. great britain has signed a military treaty with bahrain which focuses on the joint training of troops out of the country in case of external aggression. amid a fury the country opposition which continues to accuse the security forces of a violent crackdown on peaceful protesters demonstrators parked and on those

streets once again on friday calling for the law vicki to ease its choking grief and move for reforms police lash out at them using riot gear to despise the rally while at least ten people were arrested and dominique of a cab from bahrain's justice and development movement believes western nations have too much to lose from the reforms involving 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 essentially democracy but i think. the reason why why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep. seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship what these governments don't realize. they obviously have to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince about her aid or to pressure them into reform perhaps

they misunderstand the strength they have or perhaps you know they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if they you know if there were a democratic change but the reality is the people of bahrain of calling for democracy they're calling for change but doesn't have to be against the western interests actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world to have a democratic and stable country as a religious influence on the u.s. public policy increases a growing number of americans to skip sunday service. and it's has been asking because well they feel about going to church. a new pew poll indicated one in five americans has no religion and more and more americans are becoming atheists is america losing its religion and if so why this week let's talk about that i think as we get smarter we realize all the religions with the same you look at each different book every book has

a similar story. it's all the same we're on one planet there should be one war doesn't matter if you're in pakistan or new jersey i see more people that maybe keep to themselves i mean you can be religious without going to a sanctuary or something along those lines so i think the perception has probably changed 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 yeah that's what makes sense to me yeah when you see wars being waged in the name

of religion it makes you think 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. and coming out in just a few minutes so she follows a photographer who is documenting the resilience and a basic nature of russia senior citizens. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first.

for him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a horse breeder on the island of a horn at the heart of by his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horse is what sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes big bites as well it's part of my everyday life. i holmes been home to it make brats like me just laugh for centuries most still live off the land of cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here. if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and when i said to be the pearl of

you can forget about it or even run in water for most people tent. but for those who come here it's exactly what they're looking for. you need to buy coal can be unique trip of a lifetime and the locals say once you've seen it you'll be coming back again and again.
