immediate. al qaeda calls for a holy war against the us egypt one of washington's longtime allies in the region seems to see signs of growing islamization. tear gas and stun grenades are again directed at brains peaceful protesters in the latest crackdown which is drawing little attention in most international media. for an action moving in africa as the u. when green lights board a terror intervention in mali to tackle islamicist amid criticism that the un

sanctions in libya created the crisis. and the family of a journalist working with the russian media in syria tells r t she was kidnapped in an area of intense clashes between the government and the rebels. and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is r t with me karen tara well al qaeda is calling for a jihad against the u.s. over an american made film mocking the prophet muhammad the leader of the terror group or urged more protests outside u.s. embassies in the middle east while praising last month's assaults on the consulate in libya that killed four diplomats the rallying cry to the muslim community came just days after washington acknowledged as a growing influence in the region meanwhile egypt where the group's current leader

comes from has seen march protests against the growing islamization of the country a young liberals rally turned ogling one islamised also descended on top of square and clashed with anti-government demonstrators over one hundred were injured in egypt's most violent protest since mohamed morsi came into office. journalist bel true reports on how events unfolded in the heart of kabul. what happened was there were two protests 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 going to the constituent assembly you are currently drafting egypt's national charter which is being dropped in a quite islamist way so we had the liberals who were here to protest against that for the same time the brotherhood came down there was organized protests in the brotherhood in the brotherhood said political party of the njt 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 through brotherhood supporters meeting on to here which then erupted in clashes 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 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 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 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 that distance himself from the statement but of course the spot many feel is in addition

we're seeing a massive a sion of the constitution which is obviously key at the moment key articles in the constitution like article two an article twenty 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 that the. the egyptian law should not just derive from islamic sharia that actually follow islamic sharia these are one of the ongoing battles within the constituent assembly so basically what we're seeing is in the grassroots level the national level the political level quite a heavy islam is ation of egypt. james charter us who's a former us foreign policy analyst says the threat of radicalization of egypt shows the inconsistency of american policies in the arab world. 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 in the brotherhood have triumphed much quicker

than anybody expected and nobody should doubt what their ultimate intentions are in terms of strict enforcement of sharia and they recreate 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 molly in west africa might soon see foreign troops on the ground now that a u.n. security council resolution paves the way for international intervention mali which

is basically split into wants help to deal with islamic extremists left taken over the north a small nation clenched into chaos in march after a coup toppled the president torah gravels an islamic groups took advantage of the instability seizing control of the north and proclaiming independence historian gerald horne explains why it might be too late for the world community to clean up a mass that traces back to their interference in one of mali's neighbors there is no question that what is happening in mali which is a humanitarian crisis and disaster is the director out. of the north atlantic countries intervention in libya in two thousand and eleven in order to dislodge colonel gadhafi but not that when a country has had to dock tons of weapons into libya. negatively leaked into neighboring mali which they were to for had been relatively stable with the leaking of these weapons into mali you saw the eruption of civil unrest and then military unrest in northern mali and now what we have is that an old height of white

formation has taken hold of a region of northern mali that is more bitter than the state of france what has followed what has happened in the wake of the overthrow of the authorities and bomb a coke has been the logging of suspected criminals who taishan them and suspected the persecution of single mothers tens of thousands have fled into neighboring algeria mauritania nice here it's also fair to say that this event in northern mali has given a jolt of success to so-called is enormous this throughout northern and northwestern africa there is further trouble in the region and what's being labeled the front com revolution coming out brain security forces once again lash out at peaceful protesters demanding political reforms as the monarchy reinforce its ties

with its powerful military backer great britain. the family of a journalist who's been helping russian news outlets in syria has told r t that she's been kidnapped near the city of holmes the area is a scene of intense fighting between government forces and the opposition our correspondent in the region joins us live now and we know are there any details about the woman's fate. as a matter of fact we know very few details of course as you've mentioned the husband . hard question of a has contacted r t and told about her disappearance of the moment of course her coley as well as the russian consulate are looking into her disappearance of course her relatives are insisting it's an abduction we do know that the last thing she did was visiting. the outskirts of the town the homes which are known for their very fierce fighting in the standoff between syria and the syrian rebels and the government troops now of course syria remains

a highly unstable ground for work for journalists and reporters without borders have even issued an open letter to the free syrian army calling on them to to not to prevent journalists from working to make sure that the journalists are actually it's safe to say things that could be in this in this country torn apart by this civil war again we do not know exactly what happened to with the russian journalist who was working with major russian news outlets as well as with r t i but of course that everybody is hoping she will soon. she will soon be found safely both the rena goes and our t. team will be keeping you updated with developments as soon as they come think you're a know. now the syrian opposition is being increasingly helped al qaida related jihad it's the rebels say fighters from the islamists all nusra front help them to

attack and seize an air defense base in the outside of the major city of aleppo jeff steinberg from executive intelligence review magazine says rebels growing links with terrorist groups should ring alarm bell for their foreign supporters. the syrian opposition is increasingly being dominated by the same al qaeda linked jihadi networks that just recently assassinated an american ambassador and three other american diplomats in benghazi libya the opposition has clearly rather grand terms of any military capacity to overthrow the assad regime so the opposition is resorting to suicide bombings car bombings the standard techniques of all qaida that they're continuing to use against the united states in afghanistan and iraq it's a terrible embarrassment that the united states is back in bed with al qaida minus

different animals. but what about. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny skyscrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian. so i decided to. a small town just outside. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia. with cabbage and making sure you can have as a start the main dish. although it may draw. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if you decide to participate.

when you look upon martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by. its inhabited by. a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel. maybe not this. tourist brochures but distinctive enough to show that after all these yeahs is still not quite like anywhere else.

back to our team with me. but what's been dubbed the invisible arab spring continues to unravel in basra and police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of peaceful protesters. at least ten people have been arrested demonstrations have continued almost nonstop since last february and are often met by a heavy response from the country's security forces meanwhile britain has signed a military treaty with the state seen as a sign of support for the under-fire regime dominic care but from a nation's justice and development meant believes western nations have too much to lose from reform saying both brain. 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 the why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep the brain as an ally the hadiths seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship but what these governments don't realize that they've got to fuse to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince the right not to pressure them into reform but perhaps they miss on. the strength they have will 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 i didn't have to. against the western interests actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world the democratic and stable country. and we've got eyewitness accounts online from someone who took part and the latest protester turned violent also on our website we have photos from bahrain's capital manama where events have

been spiraling over the past few months. and october of discontent continues in the debt stricken in u.s. tens of thousands of angry students marched across italy they're outraged by cuts to education spending which have already been imposed by the government headed by prime minister mario monti and how sturdy sentiment is also expected in the spanish capital later today also in spain there have been fresh clashes and barcelona between those supporting and opposing catalonia as independence the unless comes as the e.u. was awarded this year's nobel peace prize for sowing peace across the continent researcher barbara we carless the award comes into contrast with what the union is doing. when it comes to this this attribution of a nobel prize to 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 at 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 you know order to push them to do better than what they are doing when it comes to spain's problems we can see that this really reveals a kind of a kind of real crisis either in spain or in a lot of sort of european countries and obviously we can't disconnect the union. issue from the global financial crisis that is going on the european union since that that you have fields that with the crisis it's been losing a lot of money and it feels that the deal that you've had with the central government in spain isn't worth it anymore. europe's cash strapped countries are scrounging around for any cash they can right now italy's planning to different

towns into the church collection ten with plans to strip the catholic church of its tax exempt status in order to patch holes in the country's budget. plus a degree of drilling how america's hunger for energy means plowing up college campuses to get the gas out attorney. claims that a group of russian citizens arrested in the u.s. earlier this month were forced to admit they were involved in illegally exporting high tech electronics to russia diplomats say the suspects are being put under psychological pressure more on that from artie's peter all over. but what we've seen is the statement being issued by the russian foreign ministry regarding the

four russian citizens currently still in custody who have been charged with the illegal export of military technology the foreign ministry suggesting that these four russians are being put under extreme psychological and moral pressure in order to get them to sign common the foreign ministry is also wanting a review of the decision to deny these 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 that their criminal charges the families of these russian citizens have been expressing concern over the way that they are being treated while lowering custody there's been suggestions that they're being forced to sleep on the floor there in very crowded cells these four russian citizens were picked up on the third of october as part of a group of eleven people that the f.b.i. wanted to speak to in connection with the export of high tech technology from the united states to russia it's believed that technology has

aircraft it was carved into the spray and how it was. there i mean the temperature. below zero i mean i was nineteen years of age eighteen years of age going up to russia and then do an order. but we done it well could our because the job at. john's 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. of the arctic convoys in recognition of

your outstanding contribution inter allied cooperation due to world war two the description of. the attack. apparently unless the british government. is a non starter what i think. 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 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 powers precisely to me this disgusting john says it's time the current prime minister says that to be the decent thing and i were a while now we were there then died yes we were all in together us the russians the americans the belgium yes we were all in it together they currently we've been left there because you believe we can lift this medal everybody is guilty. really but the foreign countries get a we're not good 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. worth of.

people during the work to see that. the pivotal wartime he found friendship in real adversity is straighted by john's pictures 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 and 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 to stay with us for some hardline comments on the world of finance in the kurds a report just a few moments. the

legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape buildings still ting over their foundation pipes black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the. bergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty bearings work was a burgeoning mining community. was determined to maintain it costs to a degree located half way between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway but the special status that allows other countries to set up bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one of the last preserved relics.

picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades curious 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. coming to the place. should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the. tradition. i should not like to have it in a shiny condition to be the time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become. when they try to add morning russian songs to their repertoire the audience called the wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar.
