market. why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. for you square bans as a gyptian liberals and islam is clear show the present leaving an unspoken peace accord between the two sides in thompson. under pressure mosco accuse an american court of forcing a group of russians arrested in the u.s. over a week ago to admit their involvement in a conspiracy against the u.s. . also in the program the british foreign office denies world war two veterans a russian medal issued to commemorate their service saying the act of bravery to follow in the.

international news and comment live from moscow this is all see with me hello and welcome to the program it was a rice's night in tahrir square with egyptian liberals and islamist slugging outs their differences in a hail rocks fire bombs and even bullets and 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 john is about troop pulls that's one thing stunned. what happened was there were two protests organized one by the liberal forces who are complaining against these last one hundred days this plan that he said he would be able to to achieve significant change at the key social issues in egypt and also into the constituent assembly you are currently drafting 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 that to the same time the brotherhood

came down there was organized protests from the brotherhood and the brotherhood said political party of the f.t.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 and islamists in particular through brotherhood supporters meeting on to here which then erupted in clashes because just continue on mahmoud street which is where we've seen many crashes before in the member in 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 block 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 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 or distance himself from the statement but of course the spot many feel is in addition we see a massive it is in my zation 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 woman's rights are really seeing a lot of islam eyes ation in that people are saying the. it's. not just arrived from islamic sharia to actually follow islamic sharia is that one of the ongoing battles within the constituent assembly so basically what we see is in a grassroots level in a national level the political level quite a heavy islam is a sham that egypt and changed the former u.s. senate foreign policy analyst says they brotherhood's calls to seize jerusalem show us exactly what its goals are. but we were seeing

a very rapid islamisation of the political structure in egypt and nobody should be surprised at this. if there was a lot of discussion about the power struggle that would ensue between morsi and the military and it seems the morsi in the brotherhood have triumphed much quicker than anybody expected and nobody should doubt what their ultimate intentions are in terms of a strict enforcement of sharia and they re creation of the caliphate the khilafat and 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 altered 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 egypt to the removal of our longtime satrap in egypt hosni mubarak and then we seem surprised

that democracy in egypt has taken this direction. and egypt is not the only arab country saying violence and police brutality in the streets coming up bahrain security forces once again lash out at peaceful protesters demanding political reforms as they want to reinforce its ties but it's powerful and military by great britain. moscow claims that a group of russian citizens arrested in the u.s. earlier this month will force me as they were involved in illegally exporting high tech electronics to russia diplomats say the suspects are being put under psychological pressure and demand that from peter all of us who are trying to live right now peter hello there so how is the u.s. court handling the case considering it has the potential to grow into a larger international scandal. heard from the foreign ministry concerning the four russian citizens who are currently being detained in the united states on charges of the illegal export of military technology now the foreign ministry suggest

suggesting that these four russians are being put under extreme psychological and moral pressure in order to get them to sign confessions they also wanted the foreign ministry is also wanting a review of the decision to deny these four russian citizens bail. it has taken the media by storm a little bit it has been all over the media that this is some kind of spy scandal that is dismissed by the foreign ministry they say all you have to do is look at the charges that have been leveled against these four russian citizens among others that there are criminal charges these charges being brought by the f.b.i. as they are as they said they've been charged with the illegal export of military technology their families the families of the russian citizens have been expressing concern over the way that they are being treated while they are in custody has been suggestions that they're being forced to sleep on the floor there in very crowded cells and of course they are being denied bail. for russian citizens

were picked up on the third. october as part of a group of eleven people that the f.b.i. wanted to speak to in connection with the the export of military of world high tech technology from the united states to russia it's believed that technology has a potential military use. they were picked up in houston in texas over the next few days they're going to be moved to new york where the first hearings on this case will be heard next week. and to think of our much indeed piece or all of our reporting there live. great britain has signed a military treaty with bahrain which focuses on the joint training of troops and violence to bank the country in case of external aggression the deal comes amid fury among the country's opposition which continues to accuse the security forces of violent crime down on peaceful protesters demonstrators parks in the now mistreats once again on friday calling for the nominee to ease its choking grip and

move forward forms police lashed out at them using riot gear to disperse the rally while at least ten people were arrested and dominick of a cab from bahrain's justice and development movement believes western nations have too much to lose from reforms in bahrain. you know obviously it 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 crush protests to crush an essentially democracy but i think. the reason why the why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep bahrain as an ally iran is seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship while these governments don't realize that 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 that they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region and be damaged and you know

if there were a democratic change but the reality is that the people of bahrain of calling for democracy are calling for change i didn't have to be against the western interests that you know i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world have a democratic and stable country while it may be easy to ignore what's happening in bahrain it's proving to be a lot of us some countries to turn a blind eye towards calling on at. national day chests poignance with cattle lady and separatists not taking too kindly to taking to march in their stronghold of solona and all of that after the break. the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen

archipelago don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs. strategically located halfway between north america and western europe bergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. it is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades is a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travellers the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not

very popular with tourists if you come into a very authentic place like. it should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the let you know authentic tradition here. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be honest this time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add morning russian songs to die repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. mission free. education free. of charge of free. range

you're watching are great to have you with us let's continue now decades ago thousands of britons laid their lives on the line for buzz that country and its allies but getting recognition for their bravery today seems harder than showing it . was journey in the world's winston churchill's description of the grim ordeal that 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 you cannot see your base and aircraft be able to guide into the spray and they call their fee for further i will have a certain there. the temperature will well world they are i mean i was i can years of age i can years of age guy not to russia and then do an order.

but we don't know where good are 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. but contributing hugely to the war effort that's why in april the russian president awarded the issue of medal to the allies he taken part in the convoy missions but incredibly the push governments blocking russia from rewarding british veterans for their valor. an article was in recognition of your outstanding contribution into a large corporation due to world war two the description american attack. apparently. unless the british government. is a non starter what i think. forgivable war the foreign office

it's against the rules in order for permission to be given for a war 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. so why are they being painted and not being given this. i think it's disgraceful absolutely disgraceful angry not just from a whole while the ship might those and those who passed on across the bars beside to me this disgusting john says it's time the current prime minister stepped in to be the decent thing and i. was there in there yes we were all

in together. the russians the americans the belgium yes we were all in it together they currently we've been left there because you leave we can lift this medal everybody's going. early but the foreign countries get a we're not there the campaign is in both britain and russia i refusing to back down in pushing the government to get these men properly rewarded for their bravery it's. really extraordinary service and be. important for people during the work to see that. if it's all wartime allies he found friendship real adversity is treated by john's pictures and stories of his time working with the russians like dancing and

bartering. these are the medals that dorothy for his heroic during world war two he was hoping 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 deserve. r.t. london. well stories at r.t. dot com for you including how u.s. election fever has literally knocked some americans on their feet what obama has been the secret service agents have the bottle and passes out on a sidewalk in miami right after the presidential visit to the city. also that find out why europe's most neutral and stable state is mobilizing troops preparing for mass civil unrest. rocked by a devastating crisis under rise of radicalism but it's not all gloom for the the

blog has been awarded the nobel peace prize for sowing peace across europe but the reaction has been to say the least the buried with cheers in paris and sharp contrast to shock and disbelief in athens and international investment author james rogers says the blogs 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. no one is going to remember it except whoever gets the check but 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 rides in the streets more social unrest more governments failing and perhaps even countries failing it perhaps even people falling out of the euro conceivably if you have huge amounts of tension in europe and the euro breaking up that could increase tension and not diminish the engine and could lead to war again in europe i've seen it before that should 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 tends to europe's unity is already underway in spain what tensions are that got to lenny is big for independence came to a head even as the nobel peace prize was being awarded calls for a breakaway started this punish region of cattle any are among the largest in the u.k. with feelings running high among the people that amassed and his tears he protest as expected in the capital madrid two that's going to be a part of a chain of. happening in law changes around the world today but with regards to catalonia make a scene there was the u.s. and think tank front it's part of a big problem. this really reveals a kind of a kind of real crisis either in spain or in a 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 to do european union obviously it comes into contradiction with boasts what the european union is doing on the european level and what the european union is doing in the. rest of the world so i think that i mean the same way that it's 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 use 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. russia has rebuffed turkish claims that a damascus bounce a billion flight from moscow was carrying weapons foreign minister sergei lavrov said the passenger plane contained only radio gear and its transportation was in accordance with international norms on wednesday on cross crumbled fighter jets to force the syrian plane to london send soldiers to seize the cargo after around nine

i'm very pleased to introduce my guest today john sponsored oh he's a professor of religion and international affairs and islamic studies at georgetown university he has served as a consultant to the u.s. state department and other agencies dr sponsored over the number of books on islam dr thank you very much for making yourself available delighted to be here i was looking at poll numbers in different muslim countries and their opinion of the us now is either the same as under george w. bush or much worse as is the case in pakistan in egypt for example four years ago

seventy five percent of egyptians had an unfavorable view of the u.s. now it's seventy nine percent in pakistan used to be around seventy percent now it's around ninety percent these figures have nothing to do with the infamous anti islamic film where do they come from in your opinion well i think if you actually take a look at you know data from the muslim world i'm associated with the gallup organization and gallup did a world poll of and that included thirty five muslim countries from all over north africa and southeast asia and what we discovered was that majorities of muslims. while they admire. america's economic and technological development its freedoms the rule of law among other things resent what they see as an intrusive foreign policy as a foreign policy when it comes to the promotion of democracy and human rights based on double standards now what happened was that when president obama gave his speech

in cairo then his numbers really spiked up countries like egypt and others what would happen throughout the obama administration is that you had rising next. occasions those expectations not fulfilled and then the numbers start really going down one of the risks that you have when your it seems to be a president or anyone is that if you raise the bar you'll be judged by that obama had the genius and the insight to present a vision that was significantly different and claimed to be significantly different from that of george w. bush on a variety of issues whether it was palestine and israel whether it was the use of military force etc but the reality of it is that in many ways a fair number of the obama policies are are similar to the bush administration's i was listening to a conversation on fox lately yeah and it was about whether.
