thank you. they fear moscow time reports of tear gas fired at a mass protest against egypt's president in cairo's tahrir square as the leaders accused of staging a coup by granting him self pharaoh like powers. one palestinians killed more than a dozen wounded by israeli gunfire near the border with gaza in the bloodiest violation yet of the fragile truce. and the leaders clash over the budget with some nations digging their heels in to avoid forking out more cash from the us territory it's a quote. good evening thanks for joining us if you just have it say pm here is the said this is
11:01 am
r.t. international i'm kevin zero in first egypt's security forces have fired tear gas during a rally against president mohamed morsi in tahrir square thousands took to the streets across the country reacting to calls for nationwide demos from opposition leaders the outrage is driven by a new decreed by the president rather himself a wide range of powers that decisions can no longer be repealed by any authority including you to shoot move those been slammed as a coup against legitimacy by the opposition claiming the president suppose you can solve egypt's new pharaoh meantime morsi has been addressing his supporters in front of the presidential palace he claims he's only defending the results of last year's revolution which ousted regime of hosni mubarak let's talk about these developments in cairo with mark ullman visiting professor of international relations of people can university and a good evening professor thanks for being with us and protesters in egypt them calling for the end of the current regime now we kind of seen all this before and way of mohamed morsi is emerged as the president of the masses after last year's
11:02 am
revolution but does he still enjoy that reputation tonight. well this is a problem he's becoming in a way a devout version of president mubarak one might set her sights he's got this huge huge loss from organizing a ceasefire between israel and hamas in gaza and then twenty four hours later almost he's maclaren himself effectively the absolute ruler of egypt for the coming period anyway finally have one of the three rules by decree but also to decide on the constitutional framework coming out who will actually sit in the constitutional commission with company losing members of their wives if you do resign and also in a sense. pathway to elections for policy to personal home mom. we have seen this coming be surely he must of know what the reaction would be is it because he's now where how do you know by doing this weekend the powers of other government branches by this decree what he done all this well i think he wants to carry
11:03 am
through a revolution and one problem is that his i do with democracy i think displayed by the fact that he addressed a crowd in the streets today is very much a populist one and it is really a winner takes all he won the election the people who voted for him are the majority and so they will should be done and he is very suspicious of opposition he had a few kind words about oil today but he did say that the people going straight against him were paid for their muscles this is what the virus used to say and he also said that he was watching and he said he's tweeted for instance that one of his reasons for sacking the prosecutor general and appointing a new one and ordering retrial is that he wants to revenge the blood of the people who died last year is right with iraq and this side of the interest type language because we want justice but we have trials you have the rules of law and sometimes people are acquitted even though dr opinion is going on when you want vengeance you often say we're not going to listen to what the voices say what the charges say and
11:04 am
to be fertile. barak he did once or twice allow the judges to overrule him whereas in fact morsi has. the constitutional court and other courts can't in any way infringe upon. orders by decree so in some ways he's take much more power than mubarak. did you see this coming do you think it's. fair cries when we're hearing people know calling himself a thing or point he himself egypt's new pharaoh that justified well the we will see whether he lives up to its promises but he's really trying to protect the revolution and the demand for liberal democracy but i fear the problem is as i say his interpretation of what democracy isn't very much the majority should rule and the minority it's forty one percent remember his opponent in the presidential election forty eight forty nine percent should keep their mouth shut and do what they're told and so there's no sense of a role for alternative groups in society there's no sense of
11:05 am
a particular course those liberal secular people in egypt fear that his muslim brotherhood partners the people to propel him into office will now insist the constitution in trying to very strict islamic code and i think this should have been seen coming because many of the demonstrators against mubarak we tended to see on television spoke english seemed like just like cars but i think in egypt they were minority. and what they fail to see was that a revolutionary overthrow of our own rejection of any constitutional system and a kind of military coup got rid of him pave the way for a new type of orator and system which might be more popular but would not necessarily hold the full well more democratic in the west indians professor marc obviously a professor of international relations book at university and thank you thank you. one palestinians been killed more than a dozen wounded by israeli gunfire in gaza medics a the civilians came under attack for trespassing on the border area with israel
11:06 am
now over television claims its forces had fired warning shots first the bloodshed comes just two days after a cease fire ended the conflict with gaza militants activist harry fear is in gaza says the terms of the truce there 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 erased and that the farmers in the area whose land had been taken away they would not be able to farm that so this morning a 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 cease fire as a particular line referring to this that over these coming hours and days there 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
11:07 am
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 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 are still being killed because they're dying 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. israeli bombing of gaza killed more than one hundred sixty people around the hoff civilians including women and children however television maintains it cause
11:08 am
minimal collateral damage. 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 army and 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 amounts of civilians who die it's hard to say if 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 being very very precise and to aim in specially at the military terrorist leaders. ahead in the program with me kevin owen tonight from the middle east to the far east with north korea's reportedly getting ready to test another one of its missiles tensions

a building on the korean peninsula with the south holding military drills to the shelling of its territory by pyongyang two years ago. british live demo minister lynne featherstone said that since women have babies it allows men to pass them up on the letter to power essentially children are a setback 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 out of a 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 a very male way of judging success are women who choose to have families failures
11:10 am
or at least unsuccessful in your book even as a man i know that my pocket is really empty after having the first of hopefully many kids but i don't see our child as 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 seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hard because there's a big picture. developing

news story tonight european union leaders a failed to reach a deal after days of negotiating the blocks financial future of brussels mostly you members supported an increase in the budget while some called for cuts claiming that in a time of austerity nations don't have money to spare myself the leader of the u.k. independence party which wants britain out of the e.u. says the divisions could bring dire consequences. i think the real problem is that europe is now split from north to south in every way politically economically and
11:12 am
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 paying the isolation from the global marketplace is cause because we're members of the single market customs union and what 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'd from having our own biological trade deals with any other part of the world that has to be done on our behalf so the u.k. 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 in the rest of the world can go hang frankly
11:13 am
is decades out of date well despite the painful divide over the next budget than any piece did manage to achieve compromise on defense and security the european parliament passed a resolution aimed at keeping national military to full strength i spoke to david campbell bannerman who voted against the move he says the bill isn't about security concerns though and that it highlighted some rather disturbing ambitions. it really does trespass international responsibilities for the fans and it's talking about the e.u. looking after it its citizens you know so 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 it of one united states and europe because they want a single army a single defense industry they want control from the part of their foreign policy and they're actually involved in they want to go in for the high intensity conflicts in their terminology and that means war in my terminology they want to
11:14 am
actually you to be involved in wars and to commit our soldiers and our airmen and our navy people into these kind of conflicts and that is not acceptable coming up in later in the program the pain of spain the country's catalonia reason for election as financial strain in europe prompts a call for a breakaway. from. moscow investigators have searched several homes belonging to the russian army including that of an i told you so to cough the former defense minister said a coffer sacked by president vladimir putin earlier this month after corruption allegations is r.t. . police searched eighteen holidaying recreational cottages outside moscow used by former defense minister and italy sergio colvin eighteen other defense officials those courses were rented by another defense official himself arrested in connection with the defense contractor. and the possibility
11:15 am
that it was involved with corruption involving the defense ministry this all comes after you have guinea a vassili of a high figure within the defense ministry and a close associates. she herself has been charged with embezzlement she was involved with the defense contractor who are on the service and a few weeks ago the scandal broke that there possibly was alleged to have been a scheme to sell off eleven million dollars worth of defense property cheaply if she's convicted gania could face up to ten years in prison 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 two hundred million dollars that's five point six percent of the
11:16 am
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 past weeks have been rocking russia's defense establishment. north korea could be preparing for a long range ballistic missile test that's according to japan's aside newspaper citing a u.s. intelligence report american satellite images appeared to show missile parts big

move 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 but time killing four people last month sold military was given a boost deal with washington extending its ballistic missile range campaign iran dawson says young remains as isolated as. north korea is not going to listen to the u.n. nor do they care what the u.n. has 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. because the u.n. and the national pressure are already doing everything they can to squash and north korea's economy as it is for south korea has a lot more room to maneuver as they are not so internationally isolated as north korea by their choosing to continue this tension with the north which has been
11:18 am
going on since the korean war with the united states and there is nothing good to come of it i don't see why they are making these decisions to continually poke the bear. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov criticized nato as potential deployment of patriot missile systems at the syria turkey border plans to install the arms were put forward after a request by ankara alliance officials claimed the systems will only serve defensive purposes it comes amid reports of intensified shelling in damascus suburbs by syrian troops attempting to advance some of the held areas the syrian state t.v. journalist was killed in the fighting. having declared its support for the syrian rebels germany's now welcoming those displaced by the ongoing violence in the water own country the country's taken a step partly to ease the burden on turkey which is coping with an influx of over one hundred thousand refugees from syria but reports the use economic powerhouse may have an all to remote. with conflict in syria raging for nearly two years now
11:19 am
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 seems at least one more door was opened to them germany is really in principle to welcome syrian refugees manual is german journalist has been covering events in syria this summer he was in the capital damascus during operation volcano when rebels attempted to seize the city manual says the people of syria are being sent the wrong message he 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 difficult mistake how we
11:20 am
can feel that the people can stay in their country german peal of turkish origin some darlin rose to prominence after signing a petition accusing the us of preparing a war against syria and iran and calling it an aggressor along with turkey and germany she thinks guilt could be motivating barely. germany's military forces have been pretty supporting in many conflicts around the war 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
11:21 am
same laws if you want to. would you go with a as big as you can or something. you go if you come and then you don't show them you cannot enter even these small place and then i say ok now i have nowhere to go if it is please i'm ok 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 yet 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 the german leadership singling syrian refugees out they may have better chances but still no guarantees they will get exactly what they are looking for
