leaders clash over the budget with some nations digging in their heels in order to avoid forking out more cash for their own austerity had upon me it's. one palestinians killed and several wounded by israeli gunfire near the border with gaza in the borscht while a shooting gas of the fragile truce. and rain sentences a group of doctors for helping anti-government protesters injured during rallies as a leading fumin rights groups lam's the monarchy for failing to increase democratic reforms. you're watching our t.v. international news headlines live from our moscow headquarters well european union
7:01 am
leaders are negotiating the blocks financial future in brussels most of the members support an increase in the budget while others are calling for cuts claiming that in a time of us nobody has the money to spare smith has more details. nobody's very optimistic at this stage that these talks will result in anything other than everyone just walking away from the table and saying we'll come back early next year and talk about it again the proposals the e.u. president herman van rompuy is pushing forward remain on satisfactory to practically everyone it seems he presented new proposals actually late last night which involved taking some money away from admin costs and reallocating into other areas. currently offering a real terms cut in the entire budget of twenty billion euros but that's on a budget of one trillion so david cameron is calling what's the president's doing at the moment take correct he says that they need a real spending cuts and affordable spending cuts in the e.u.
7:02 am
budget at the same me you which of course is forcing its member countries to implement austerity and the problem here is that everybody wants something different david cameron as i say wants a real terms cut france and possibly germany as well eager to preserve their agricultural subsidies denmark wants a rebate or has threatened to veto unless it gets one and then on the other side of the coin you've got come countries which the net beneficiaries of the e.u. so poland greece and italy and this is leaving them very uneasy because of course they want contributions to the budget in the budget as a whole preserved and every single one of these twenty seven countries has a veto so any one of them could walk away from the table and that would mean these talks with collapse entirely david cameron will be coming home to a country where the e.u. is becoming less and less popular in fact some surveys show overhaul of britain's no longer wants to be a member of the twenty seven nation bloc my colleague sarah has looked into that
7:03 am
question and has her report exclusivity security and all the added it was once the club everyone wanted to be a part of it is the budget talks underway in brussels britain's place within the european union has never before seen so you uncertain. with support for the flagging we've come to one of the u.k.'s top members clubs to find out just how you run a successful club and more importantly how do you keep those members happy i think the key thing to be successful in a member's club is to listen. i think if you start with listening listening to your membership and what they're looking for you could have educate them sometimes you've got to inspire them right you've got to build long term relationships based on loyalty and honesty but fundamentally you need to have a vision. europe's visions become blurred in recent times as reality has set in
7:04 am
huge unemployment to sweat the e.u. as a stereotype hits hard in large scale protests and now a common occurrence in britain an anti e.u. political party ukip has seen a rise in support from people who feel britain would now be better going it alone my party ukraine depends party is quite happy with friendship cooperation and try which is the way that this has been sold to the british people over the decades but it's not about that it's always been about creating a centralized political state united states of europe in a sorry in reality if not in nine that's where it's gone wrong because there isn't what people want so just what do you people once r.t. conducted it saying many referendum asking the british people if they were given the vote today whether they'd vote in all out i'd like britain to be part of europe and script trade is good for business and if we're outside of it then we're going to sell it's just
7:05 am
a lot easier when everything is in the you know passports needed ok. i don't think we should be in the e.u. because that way we'd be free to make up our own laws and follow them ourselves or process and minuses there's no absolute answer to that i feel artie's results were inconclusive it seems whether you're the prime minister you're a skeptic a member of the public all just a reporter trying to judge the outcome of a possible future referendum is next to impossible right now the recent newspaper poll found more than half of those asked would vote to leave the e.u. in a referendum what's clear is that if britain is to remain a part of the e.u. things are going to have to change how do you keep everyone happy or that's a trick it's a trick and a magic that people everyone happy is treating them as individuals not true as numbers whether it's the sums of. any finally agreed upon in the budget debate or
7:06 am
the final count of the referendum should the k. have one when it comes to persist in the year a club numbers it's clear will play a very big part so i think. the leader of the u.k. independence party which wants britain out of the e.u. says the david cameron has a tough decision to make i don't think this summit itself or the issues that are being debated today specifically are the problem i think the real problem is that europe is now split from north to south in every way politically economically and of course culturally it always was and that's the real crisis within the european union and then there's the other dimension which of course is the british angle on it it doesn't matter what deal mr cameron comes back with today or in january or february the sixty percent of britons that now don't want to be members of this union don't believe there's any price worth the isolation from the global market place is caused because we're members of the single market customs union and what
7:07 am
that means is that despite the fact that the u.k. is the world's sixth biggest trading nation we are actually pretty hip it is from having our own buy that we trade deals with any other part of the world that has to be done on our behalf so the ukip message is simple we love europe we want to get on with our neighbors we want to trade with them through a simple free trade agreement but then refocus british business to start concentrating on doing more deals around the rest of the world this european model this idea that europe is what matters and the rest of the world can go hang frankly is decades out of date despite the painful divide over the next budget lawmakers did manage to achieve a compromise on defense and security their plan parliament has passed a resolution aimed at keeping national militaries have full strength. explains. defense is giving the european union sleepless nights with the book still reeling from an economic heart attack it's no surprise that its combined military strength
7:08 am
has taken a hit now i mean them brought souls have approved a resolution saying that you must respond to growing strategic changes and threats to global security and make full use of all existing means including military ones to secure peace and security for its citizens this means a new operational headquarters is on the cards and that the bosses will have the authority to jump into all types of crises including what it calls high intensity conflicts otherwise known as war it's a question of business as well your m.p. stressed that building up europe's capabilities would save and even create jobs pumping more investment into the military industry all member states are going to be jumping for joy over the plans the more ambitious common security and defense policy could leave britain between a rock and a hard place the u.k.
7:09 am
could end up getting dragged into military campaigns that it has no interest in joining. british euro m.p. david campbell bannerman had voted against a move saying that the adopted resolution isn't about security concerns and that it highlights some rather disturbing ambitions. it really does trespass international responsibilities. and it's talking about you looking after you. it's a direct assault on sovereignty as i see it this really is about politics rather than the millet this is about actually furthering because of the united states and europe because they want to single all be a single the friends of the street they want growth of the part of the foreign policy of the road involved in they want to get involved in high intensity conflicts and that with all the g. and that means war. they want to be involved in rules and to commit all
7:10 am
soldiers and. navy people into these kind of conflicts and that is not acceptable. well you can find all the latest details on the crucial negotiations in brussels on our web site that's r t dot com also on our twitter feed. crowds of anti president protesters are flocking to cairo's tahrir square reacting to calls from the country's opposition leaders for nationwide demonstrations the outrage is driven by a new to curry granting the president mohamed morsi out why don't we just powers you're seeing live pictures right now from cairo and not be frozen when his decisions morsi is decisions can no longer be repealed by any authority including the judiciary the move has been slammed as a coup against legitimacy with the opposition claiming the president has appointed himself as egypt's new pharaoh morsi took power in june this year following the nation's first presidential election after the ousting of former leader hosni mubarak all right we're now joined by shane shaimaa held me she's
7:11 am
a human rights activist who's in cairo for us thanks so much for being on the program morsi is to say that this move is intended to defend the revolution the opposition is accusing him of acting like a dictator would what's your take on this. actually from the city of. polarization i see right now in the egyptian public sphere and how it's getting more complicated i think that a neutral position is needed in order to understand the implications of these decisions personally i think i can agree with some of the decisions such as there is a trail off those who were acquitted of the murder of the sisters and also i can agree with this the persecutors general who has and mean public of the mubarak's old regime and he was appointed for life but in terms of the effect that somewhere she has given himself what you could call well except powers that cannot be
7:12 am
appealed by anyone i think that this move has secured a lot of people in the opposition and in their rights and it works as well so that might be concerning when the. go no go ahead well that is questionable or to what anwar sadat did back in one nine hundred seventy nine i mean why do you think morsi would decide to expect extending his powers right now. the timing in the. of the declaration of this is history. my story is for me actually i mean we have called for many of these. you know who have called first so long for second vision or for security retrying retrying the people who were acquitted and many of other things i don't understand why did he decide to do this right now. especially with the state of the bickering committee to
7:13 am
the constitution as well when many people has left. the committee recently and there are lots of questions in many you know this issue come randomly that nobody understands. we are pretty confused over why would he make such decisions at the moment and why now earlier why not anytime soon well i mean of course we're seeing people out and talk here square now opposition has been calling for nationwide nationwide protests do you feel that there's a lot of support for that and in fact how strong is the anti morsi sentiment on the ground at this time. news right now the good oprah's issuing camm does not only include revolutionaries or people who supports their evolution it also includes figures of work we revolted against at the beginning so many many people even within the revolutionary camp have concerns of arts someone like. for example or
7:14 am
all of these works figures joining the opposition people in this suit have different reactions some of them support to a morsi is doing others do not support it a lot of people are confused and i could i could say this is the majority of people in the egyptian property right now well look egypt's street protests have really proven themselves to be massively powerful i mean we've seen the overthrow of the hosni mubarak presidency do you think that this this move by morsi could really undermine stability in the country could we see a more fractured division within the country that could really lead to clashes perhaps. i think some clashes might take. to do the city of polarization within the community and the political community is getting more complicated and dangerous i should say. i mean i'm not sure what's going to happen but we have like two
7:15 am
separate camps right now some people are protesting in support for morsi in front of the palace and others are protesting against him into his square there are lots of people in the streets and. i think in the following days we might be able to see what's going to happen and i expect this to take place today as well because many people are angry. about you know the clashes that are happening in mohammed mahmoud street in the anniversary and many young people got shot and people have a lot of anger towards the muslim brotherhood and the ruling party in general well thank you so much for your time we'll certainly be watching the situation she. helmi human rights activist speaking to us from egypt think i will from the middle east to the far east where north korea is reportedly getting ready to test another one of its missiles tensions are building on the korean peninsula with the south holding military drills in order to mark the shelling of its territory by young and two years ago also for you. according bahrain has
7:16 am
a jail terms to not exceed treated pro-reform protesters as the country is slammed by human rights organizations for the long running brutal crackdown on dissent. british lib dem minister lynne featherstone said that since women have babies it allows men to pass them up on the letter to power essentially children are set back for women who want to be successful and equal to men so they want to give men the option of taking maternity leave or would that be paternity leave i don't know i kind of see the logic of her view but my question is featherstone is why exactly is success in the corporate world the primary goal of life for men and women as a feminist i would think you understand that wanting to fight your way up the ladder to buy a big car to replace your shortcomings is
7:17 am
a very male way of judging success are women who choose to have families failures or at least unsuccessful in your book even as a man and know that my pocket is really empty after having the first of hopefully many kids but i don't see or chose a financial setback keeping me from buying an x. box guess what success is relative to the goal and maybe a corporate boardroom vision of success isn't for everyone women who have kids are failures in my opinion but then again that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it's. so poorly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's the other part of it and realized everything you thought. was a big. news
7:18 am
today violence flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. welcome back you're watching our team one palestinians been killed several wounded by israeli gunfire in the gaza medics say the civilians came under attack for trespassing on the border area with israel tel aviv claims that its forces fired warning shots the bloodshed just comes just two days after a crucial cease fire ended a with the armed conflict between israel and hamas well activist harry fear who's
7:19 am
in gaza says the terms of the truth still remain unclear. under the ceasefire most gazans see that the no go military buffers which israel had put imposed on palestinian terror john the palestinian side of the border had been erased and that the area had been taken away they would not be able to farm so this morning groups of palestinians went to what they thought was now again that palestinian territory one palestinian has been killed in that incident we're now getting reports that are processed following in the area in the cease fire as a particular line referring to this that over these coming hours and days that will be more detail different to this notion of the lifting of this siege blockade on the gaza strip but i think people here in gaza according to mind reading a very very skeptical about that actually being realized to one hundred percent extent that the blockade would totally be lifted and there have been two milestone easing off the blockade since it was first imposed but they have been tiny in
7:20 am
relative to i don't think people are expecting this ceasefire to manifest in a proper proper and real lifting of the blockade of the gaza strip we've had so many injured over a thousand we've had over one hundred sixty palestinians killed and remember more is still being killed because they're dying all of the injuries that they. inflicted on them during the seven day war so the body count is still rising and the ministry of health here in gaza and the world health organization still have not given us the latest figures of how many palestinians were killed and so the scars are very much on the ground there on the mind and there on the bodies of some palestinians. here in spokesman chris gunness has been working to bring much needed humanitarian relief to the palestinians he says that the ongoing israeli blockade is a form of collective punishment that he thinks must be polished. even before the current upsurge in financing there was
7:21 am
a crisis in almost every aspect of life and. then it was a crisis of education we are in the process of building hundred new schools because there was a queue of parenting in schools. there is a crisis of public health because for example ninety percent of the law in guards that is unthinkable millions of liters of fuel salutes that flowing into the sea here because the sewage system is not functional it's north on channel and the list goes on there's a crisis as i say it nearly every aspect of the economically it's us are not good but we have to see what is going to happen as far as the regime is concerned we always need for the blockade to be lifted you said that it's a collective punishment of one point six one point certainly in people it has to end and we have to see what's in this arrangement has been decided in relation to the blockade we hope it's good news for the people of gaza there's really
7:22 am
a bombing of gaza killed more than one hundred and sixty people around half of them civilians including women and children however television and hands that are caused when i'm on minimal collateral damage take a look. did the most possible not to hurt the civilians what we did is we pointed our operation just to terrorist leaders and to their own ammunition but i do agree that they were once in a while the worst of the cat and. we feel very badly about it but as you know this is not an easy operation no military operation but by international standards the collateral damage here is pretty minimal amounts of civilians who die it's hard to see this way it sounds very bad but it could have been much much worse if we weren't so surgical and if our highlands were not given instructions to be very very precise and to aim it specially at the military terrorist leaders well it
7:23 am
looks like north korea could be preparing for a long range ballistic missile test that is at least according to japan's asahi newspaper which was citing a u.s. intelligence report american satellite images reportedly appeared to show missile related material being moved from a factory to a launch pad in the country's northwest the move is seen as a response to south korean military drills marking two years since the north launched shells into the south territory killing four people last month old's military was given a boost by deal with washington extending its ballistic missile range peace campaigner ryan dawson says that pyongyang remains as isolated as ever. north korea's not going to listen to the u.n. nor do they care what the u.n. as the say i mean north korea is suffering from pretty severe sanctions they need food aid they just recently opened up more tourism to china at least some form of revenue so they have no incentive to listen to any such demands from the u.n.
7:24 am
because the u.n. and the national pressure are already doing everything they can to squash and squelch north korea's economy as it is for south korea has a lot more room to maneuver they're not so internationally isolated as north korea but they're choosing to continue this tension with the north which has been going on since the korean war with the united states and there's nothing good to come of it i don't see why they're making these decisions to continually poke the bear. a group of twenty three doctors were sentenced to three months in jail by a court for treating protesters and partaking in latin mass rallies now this follows a report by amnesty international that condemns the gulf kingdom for quote sliding into a downward spiral of oppression now the medics were among the nearly one hundred arrested last year during an uprising against the monarchy and the court ruled that they could pay fines to hopper a prison term suspended activists in bahrain have been clashing almost daily with

7:26 am
were not getting charges for you forward to getting the protest and they would come with any charges they fabricate any crimes but the main issue here is to punish doom's who stood in the face of the gene and disobeyed orders unfortunately as long as these dictatorship the genes are backed up by international forces in power and they're protecting them and their allies have to see in britain we don't see any chance for us and least is a change in the policy of the citizens of these countries let's take a look at some of the other international headlines making news this hour now a suicide bomb attack has left at least two dead more than sixty wounded in eastern afghanistan but blast happened just forty meters away from the joint coordination office for international and afghan security forces the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack saying that it was a retaliation for the recent execution of four militants and this is the second such attack this week with kabul trying to be to beef up the serious security of
