with me lucy catherine of well on to our top story now egypt's security forces have fired tear gas during a rally against president mohamed morsi and talk we are square thousands have taken to the street across the country reacting to calls for a nationwide demonstrations from opposition leaders the outrage is driven by a new decree by the president granting himself a wider range of powers his decisions can no longer be repealed by any authority including the judiciary the move has been slammed as a coup against legitimacy of the opposition claiming that the president has appointed himself as egypt's new pharaoh meanwhile morsi has been addressing his supporters in front of the presidential palace he claims that he's only defending the fruit of last year's revolution which ousted the regime of hosni mubarak in february now cairo based analysts says the people are simply disillusioned whether a new leader. if not and you are closing at least there will be more instability in that country if we remembered that the arts thing or even the egyptian revolution

and are all about changing the situation look for a policy in collaboration in thing human life both lesion in egypt was among consumers in the world in the people through torture now after the revolution people believe that president morsi and his organization does what good does a good will bring democracy but some don't think that because this is an organization that is very much in its nature and people look at expression believe there is in it said discipline and sought the began after four months of his rule to become disillusioned even people who did not look like him so i had to give him a chance but the fact that he is not the front or because of the barak in foreign policy for example all you want is to keep that america is and isn't really is but was at the front with all of the egyptians it's not that i mean. the person who can

get you and we look pretty good here to shift with a few questions because you and that is why do you think that it is a warning. to people who should get a good violent albie want is a get a message to president morsi and daughters who are betting your archives that egypt is not the muslim brotherhood they get far the events are currently on raveling in cairo on our website or posting the latest photos as well as various for you check out our team dot com. one of the palestinian one palestinians been killed and several wounded more than a dozen in fact by israeli gunfire in gaza medics say that civilians came under attack for trespassing on the border area with israel but tel aviv claims that its forces had simply fired warning shots ahead of time now the bloodshed comes just two days after a cease fire had ended the armed conflict with gaza militants activist harry fear who's in gaza says that the terms of the truce remain unclear. under the ceasefire

most gazans see that the no go military buffer zone which israel had put imposed on palestinian terror john the palestinian side of the border had been raised and that the area whose land had been taken away they would not be able to farm that 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 there are protests following in the area in the ceasefire particularly 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 of the blockade since it was first imposed but they have been tiny in

relative 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. u.n. spokesman chris gunness has been working to bring much needed humanitarian relief to the palestinians he says the ongoing israeli blockade is a form of collective punishment that should be of all. even before the current upsurge in financing there was a crisis in almost every aspect of life and. there was

a crisis of education we are in the process of building one hundred new schools because there was a queue overcrowding in schools there is a crisis of public health because for example ninety percent of all law in gaza is unthinkable millions of liters of fuel sewage that flowing into the sea here because the sewage system is not functional it's not so much more and the list goes on there's a crisis as i see it nearly every aspect of the economically expense are not good but we have to see what is going to happen as far as the humans concerned we have always called for the blockade to be lifted you said that it's a collective punishment of one point six one point seven million people it has to end and we have to see what's in this new arrangement has been decided in relation to the blockade you hope it's good news for the people of gaza there's really a bombing of gaza killing more than one hundred sixty people around half of them

civilians including women and children but tel aviv maintains that have caused minimal collateral damage take a look. did the most possible not to hurt the civilians what we did is we pinpointed our operation just to the terrorist leaders and to their own unit ammunition but i do agree that they were once in a while there were civilian cattle casualties and we feel very bad about it but as you know this is not an easy operation no military operation is but by any international standard the collateral damage here is pretty minimal the amount of civilians who die it's hard to see it this way it sounds very bad but it could have been much much worse if we weren't so surgical and if our pilots were not given instructions to be very very precise in to aim is specially at the military terrorist leaders. now again don't forget to log onto our web site r.t.

dot com where the full timeline is up for you of the violence between israel and hamas extensive analysis of that conflict. here opinion leaders are negotiating the blocks financial future in brussels today most e.u. members support an increase in the budget but some are calling for cuts they claim that in a time of austerity nations simply don't have any money to spare parties are smith has the details for us 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 putting forward remain on satisfactory to practically everyone it seems he presented new proposals actually late last night which involved taking some money away from akman 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. in affordable spending cuts in the e.u. budget the they say 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 once a rebate has threatened to veto and that's it gets one and then on the other side of the coin you've got come countries which are a net beneficiaries of the poland greece and italy and this is leaving them very uneasy because of course they want contributions to the budget and 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 would collapse entirely david cameron would be coming home to a country where the e.u. is becoming less and less popular in fact some survey showed overhaul of britain's

no longer wants to be a member of the twenty seven nation bloc my colleague sarah first has looked into that question and has her report exclusivity security and all the added perks it was once the club everyone wanted to be a part of it is the budget and the way in brussels britain's place within the european union has never before seen so. 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 the members' club is to listen. i think if you start with listening to your membership and what they're looking for you could 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 huge unemployment to sweat the e.u. as a stereotype hits hard and 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 it's always been about creating a centralized political state united states of europe in a story in reality if not in nine and that's where it's gone wrong because there isn't what people want so you just want to be people once party conducted its own mini 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 it's good trade is

good for business and if we're outside of it then we're going to resell sr a lot easier when everything is in the you know passports needed. 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 the 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 or 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 that's the trick it's a trick and a magic people everyone happy is treating them as individuals not true as numbers

whether it's the sums money of. and he finally agreed upon in the budget debate all the final count of the referendum should the u.k. have won when it comes to pursue a future in the euro club numbers it's clear will play a very big parts. are the london. despite the painful divide over the next budget any piece didn't manage to achieve compromise on defense and security in the european parliament has passed a resolution aimed at keeping national military is at full strength british aero m.p. david campbell bannerman had voted against a move saying that the bill isn't really about security concerns and that it highlights while some rather disturbing ambitions let's take a listen what he had to say it really does trespass international responsibilities for the friends and it's talking about you looking after it it's citizens it's a direct assault on sovereignty as i said this really is about politics rather than

the military this is about actually furthering the cause of the one united states of europe because they want a single army a single the friends of industry they want control from the you part of their foreign policy and they're actually involved in they want to go in for the high in terms of the conflicts in their terminology and that means war in my terminology they want to you to be involved in wars and to commit our soldiers and. our navy people into these kind of conflicts and that is not acceptable. don't go away later in the program we have the pain of. preparing for elections as financial strain in europe is prompting calls for a breakaway story a more after a short break. in the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic

landscape buildings tilting over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community. was determined to maintain at all costs to a degree located halfway between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway with a special status that allows all the countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours western most outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's 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 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 you know authentic tradition here. i should not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on the time to change even for the better is not always good for business. something that even the local band have become attuned to when they try to add more to the russian songs today repertoire the audience called the wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. welcome

back there's a cafe and here with our team moscow investigators have searched several homes belonging to the russian army including that of ana twenty seven duke of he's a former defense minister of. saps by president vladimir putin earlier this month following corruption allegations which is tom barton has more. police searched eighteen holidaying recreational cottages outside moscow used by former defense minister and italy sergio colvin eighteen of the defense officials those cottages were rented by another defense official himself arrested in connection with the defense contractor. and the possibility that it was involved with corruption involving the defense ministry this all comes after you have gave me a vassili of

a high figure within the defense ministry and a close associate. she herself has been charged with embezzlement she was involved with the defense contractor service and a few weeks ago the scandal broke that possibly was alleged to have been a scheme to sell off eleven million dollars worth of defense property cheaply if she's convicted kenya could face up to ten years in prison and unfortunately it goes beyond that as well possibly into russia's. satellite navigation system as well the company involved with building that russian space systems is alleged to have been burgled for two hundred million dollars that's five point six percent of the total funding for that program all of this comes as a major blow to russia's defense ministry which was supposed to have been one of the ministries most pushing for reform in russia reform of the armed services and

of the defense contracts that supply it but a mere putin has pledged an eye watering seven hundred twenty six billion dollars to defense for defense reform over the coming decades but there's also the government's push against corruption in russia and for the russian public to trust that their money is going but all this money is going to the right place these corruption investigation. we're going to have to try and put to rest scandals like this that in the process weeks have been rocking russia's differences stop response a group of twenty three doctors have been sentenced to three months in jail by a buffer in a court for treating protesters and taking part in mass rallies this follows a damning report by amnesty international which condemned the gulf kingdom for quote sliding into a downward spiral of oppression the medics were among nearly one hundred who were arrested last year during an uprising against the monarchy the court had ruled that

they could paint fines in order to have their present charms suspended activists and behind have been clashing with a sunni led government forces for nearly two years now up to eighty people have been killed and thousands put behind bars during the protests which called for more reforms equal rights as well as opportunities now r.t. spoke with one of the doctors who was arrested and she has explained pardon me exactly what you have to go through. i was involved in treating the injured patients to his distillers or not to does it really matter. as a punishment for not obeying death or it's easy to abandon these patients all the doctors who were involved in cheating the kid testers where i just did my sense of their sin and i was at a state objected from my house at three in the morning and i was badly mistreated i listened to terry and later on asked and being jailed for almost two months i wished disputed tried immediately before and i was sentenced to fifteen years in

prison and we've got peeled to the verdict we were released tonight on bail well definitely they will not bring charges for you for teaching to put distance they would come with any six 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 need to see. in britain we do see any chance for us and yes there is a change in the policy of these countries the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has criticized nato deployment deployment pardon me of the patriot missile systems at the syrian turkish border now plans to install the arms were put forward after a request by a car of nato officials claim the systems will only serve defensive purposes all this comes amid new reports of intensified shelling in damascus suburbs by syrian

troops who are reportedly attempting to advance on rebel held areas a syrian state t.v. journalist was also recently killed there. by having to of clarity its support for the syrian rebels germany is now welcoming those who were displaced by the ongoing violence in the war torn country syria has taken the present germany has taken the step partially in order to ease the burden on turkey which is also of course core paying coping with an influx of over one hundred thousand refugees from syria but as r.t. israel for national reports the e.u. is economic powerhouse may have well and i'll tear your motive take a look. with conflict in syria raging for nearly two years now the exodus continues around four hundred thousand moved to neighboring countries two and a half million are internal refugees people run even though sometimes they have nowhere to go but recently teams at least one more door was opened to them germany

is really in principle to welcome syrian refugees manual it german journalist has been covering events in syria this summer he was in the capital damascus during operation a volcano when rebels attempted to seize the city mineral says the people of syria are being sent the wrong message erminie was supporting the so-called rebel side the so-called syrian national council the so-called free syrian army with they are terrorist activities toward civilians now our government discusses with a very nice face to take a large number of refugees from syria instead of saying we have a huge mistake how we can have that the people can stay in their country german peel of turkish origin southern darlin rose to prominence after signing a petition accusing the u.s. of preparing a war against syria and iran and call it an aggressor along with turkey and germany she thinks guilt could be motivating barely budged. germany's military forces have

been pretty big in many conflicts around the world so they're partially responsible for the wars and as people are running away it means they're responsible for the refugees. but if syrian refugees come here to germany what will they get people in this camp in central berlin are all immigrants and they're angry they've come here to protest against harsh german laws that force refugees to remain at whichever camp the state sends them to that's after a twenty eight day march across the country which involved them breaking these very same laws if you want to. do you go with the other flies big you can or something. you go or if you come and then you don't show them you cannot enter even these small please and then i say ok now i have nowhere to go is it is breezer more clear famous people here are from africa the middle east and asia they've been

seeking a better life in a better place but it seems what they found here turned out to be another fight blowing their hopes in the way. the people we are meeting here have been running away from atrocities and violence and dictatorship in their homelands forced to give up their homes and their lives there just to survive they actually had nowhere to go and they've come here in what may be their last hope but other welcome here enough. with a german little sheep single in syrian refugees out they may have better chances but still no guarantees they will get exactly what they are looking for help in finding peace at home or how in finding safety in the arms of others written ocean archie from germany. the last day of campaigning is underway and spain's catalonia region ahead of sunday's election it was one of the hardest fought in decades the governing party seeks a mandate to hold a referendum on independence just as months after one and

a half million people took to the streets of barcelona in support for a breakaway farmer has more. catalonia is one of spain's wealthiest regions and it will choose a new government on sunday however the elections could also trigger a constitutional crisis in spain and that is because the cattle and president after mass has promised to hold a referendum on independence if he's reelected and that will put him at loggerheads with the spanish prime minister mariano the hoary who says it would be against spain's constitution and also against the national interest during this time of economic hardship what kind of loans have long harbored feelings of separatism historically they do have their own culture and their own language but they say it is this economic crisis which is which has acted as a catalyst for this latest drive for independence the region as a whole pays more in taxes to the spanish government than it gets back and that really rankles the residents here with unemployment rates at around twenty five percent there all those who are against separatism some people do say that the

region's economy could suffer if it is forcibly draw from the spanish market and potentially the european union market however straw polls do suggest a majority of people are in favor and that a mass will be reelected on sunday and therefore give the spanish prime minister a headache you would rather not have. right that's it for me for today but my colleague can't get a no one is going to bring you the news in about a half an hour don't go away crosstalk with peter lavelle is up next. mind. would be so much brighter if you only bounce from phones to impressions. from stunts on t.v.
