protests over the president. being described as a. key which could potentially force a referendum on independence for. the smuggling of weapons into gaza as the shaky truce with israel holds despite. international news in. twenty four hours a day a second day of clashes between opponents and supporters of president mohamed morsi in the egyptian capital the country's top judges accuse morsi of launching an

unprecedented attack on the judiciary by taking more presidential palace we have the latest now from journalist. well what we've seen today is a continuation of the clashes that have been going on for five days now of protesters against the president in particular the president's constitutional declaration which was issued on thursday which really gives him sweeping powers in addition there were protests organized by opposition forces in the form of marches to the supreme court of justice because a meeting was being held to find the judges of the country against this constitutional exploration because it really does remain below their powers of course when this march actually arrived at the supreme court so they were actually attacked by groups of people identified as missing brotherhood approach president supporters to really we're seeing continued clashes and key key marches and protests happening across cairo today all supporters of morsy on the streets alone

with of course an opposition but just give us an idea how strong the opposition movement is the opposition movement is actually getting stronger every single day even though there are fewer numbers on there is actually tents going up because it called a sit in for a week and they've also called for a mass protest on tuesday which is the against this constitutional declaration made by the president as i mentioned on thursday which really does grow on the president's sweeping powers that a quarter of people have really dumped him now a pharaoh and called his documents. so really they're building a uniting for the first time against the president and against this document and creating process in marches into here and across the country for the next week the president supporters seem to have counteracted all of the oppositional forces movements in the sense that today as i mentioned there was this march the supreme court of justice and it was met by pro president supporters whether or not they're actually ated with the president officially we don't know in addition the president

or his organization is in brotherhood a call for their members to come to this to the streets in a million they are on choose stay in support of the president which is directly counteracting and oppositional protest on tuesday against this document. let's get more perspective on those events in egypt from islamic studies expert dr kevin. should a leader whose efforts ended the gaza conflict and help reach a cease fire with israel be allowed to assume more power. now it's a very interesting question of course that's ultimately for the ija to shoot people to decide. personally my thoughts are over president morsi should be given a chance but he may have been overreaching with this particular law or i do think that the forces of destabilization in the middle east which as we all know are the scientists that is the israeli lobby both israel and here in the us where they completely dominate us foreign policy wants to destabilize the middle east and i think they would be happy to have egypt fall into chaos street fighting for the

next ten years would suit them just fine because then they'll be able to continue to oppress the palestinian people and to exert more and more power in the region. you say could be a reach around here he says he's protecting the revolution and others are saying this could indeed be relit democratic transition there and you'll saying this could get fairly serious is that because the domestic stresses there will be between islamists and against christians second and so on so what we're looking at sectarian conflict. well that's what the imperialists and the israelis would like to see happen throughout the region the old you know unplanned which was drafted way back in the one nine hundred seventy s. it was an israeli plan to break up the middle east along sectarian and nationalistic lines and to smash all of these countries into tiny statelets and to promote chaos in these countries so they could never support the palestinians and i

do think that there are forces with a lot of money and a lot of power that are being helped by some forces within the middle east the monarchies in the gulf that have absolutely no connection to their people these folks are promoting sectarian conflicts in order to really pave the road for the imperial and zionist forces to dominate the region so i think the egyptians need to find a way to consolidate their revolution and i do think that the islamist approach in a moderate liberals call it is tolerant islamist approach is probably the best way to go to pave a future for egypt and of course that challenges the muslim brotherhood and other islamist forces to find an approach that is islamist that is also except about what are hopefully even desirable for non muslims and for secular people what about it's a terrific challenge they need to beat back sectarian tendency and unite the

country and unite the region challenge for washington here obviously it didn't exactly intervene in the situation and indeed supported that revolution if we did see people tenney against morsi what does that mean well washington i mean it should be supporting democratic right shouldn't it. well you know democracy has become a kind of an empty shell that these days the u.s. hasn't really had much of a democracy for a very long time as i'm sure you know the kennedy assassination nine hundred sixty three was orchestrated by people in washington and there hasn't been much democracy every year ever since democracy is a great slogan to use to break up and the stabilize your enemies and mess with some american quote unquote forces have been doing around the world with the color revolutions. and with their attempt to steer clear of spring into a destabilizing force but then not showing himself as a stabilizing force in the region and that's exactly what washington needs if he

doesn't deliver further in the middle east do you think washington could actually turn against him. i don't think washington well why washington isn't really an independent player the israeli lobby dominates american middle east policy and does not want stability in the middle east now it's true that there is a faction here in the us realists associated with and associated to a certain extent with the obama administration that is willing to sacrifice israeli interest for stability that faction does support moderate islamist movements such as the muslim brotherhood in egypt and president morsi so it's not a question of there being one voice in washington that is trying to achieve any particular goal it's actually a factional spew here but i i think the real winners are overall less bad alternative and frankly i personally would like to see egypt become more stable and

i would like to see president morsi succeed after all president morsi is one of the five or six world heads of state who was folk in element seven nine eleven was an inside job to me that tells me that he's a man of integrity dr kevin barrett we'll leave it there thank you very much indeed for your perceptions on this thank you thank you. the people of spain's most prosperous and most tex region will choose a new parliament on sunday that choice could ultimately decide whether catalonia will remain a part of spain or go alone after being stricken by the financial demands of central government parties andrew firma has more. there's a wind of separatism blowing through europe at the moment and it's reached the north eastern shores of spain catalonia is the latest region to officially are split in the pendants it's something people here have long felt in their hearts but now they're feeling it in their pockets too. i think it's a good idea to be in the band them from. a country. which

is. really really bad situation and it's a bargain for. it's a bargain for the cool culture of prague castle and flags can be seen hanging from balconies throughout barcelona reflecting a growing desire for home rule under a drive to break away from the central government in madrid this weekend's local election is being fought on that issue alone catalan president from mass has made it the centerpiece of his campaign it is convergence the union party to hold the leaders and with referendum if they win in say three catalonia would be a cure all for the region's economic problems that have seen unemployment top twenty five percent the economic context in europe and in the south of europe has been a catalyzer of the years of the. movement we can see dozens of people including the believe that with our own resources human capital economic resources we could be

better off if not being in the spanish estate this is a reality that a lot of economic research has show many cattle and find it a persuasive argument it's one of spain's wealthiest regions producing a fifth of the country's economic output but it pays around sixteen billion euros a year more in taxes than it gets back in madrid which has into insisted public services into austerity cuts. this is not fair i mean we are the ones. you are. doing our best in mccormick reasons we cannot have all the weight of this measure and the central government that for us is the one who is spending the most and not in the best way last september barcelona witnessed one of the largest separatist rallies here since the nineteen seventies over one and a half million catalans took to the streets to call for independence but the path to becoming a new european state is far from smooth the proposed referendum is against the

spanish constitution what's more withdrawing from spain could also force this region to draw back to the european union those against separatists and believe it could do more harm than good. symbolism for going alone or would be an economic disaster multi-national companies located in barcelona for access to the spanish work it and being in the e.u. that would be lost which more even of symbolism does not happen just talking about it creates uncertainty and that is the last thing the economy needs during this current crisis. with poll suggesting after mass will win reelection rassilon and madrid looks set free showdown the president this banished military association colonel leopoldo sanchez has even suggested it might lead to another civil war political parties dismissed that as extreme rhetoric but the remaining cattle lands in home this weekend will mark the first step towards the breakup of spank. andrew

farmer r.t. catalonia. harassers dismiss media claims that the flow of smuggle weapons to gaza is under threat and is valid to keep arming itself it says reports that egypt and the us a teaming up to stop arms coming through the sinai peninsula are a fabrication this comes on day three of the shaky truce of tel aviv which is largely holding despite several outbreaks of violence one palestinian civilian was killed and nineteen wounded by israeli gunfire on the border after gazans trespass on the author's own sporadic clashes followed but several incidents also taking place. the west bank while the masses hailing the seas far is a victory and some analysts say the innocence of every right to celebrate. the israeli side i think that anyone who has government has lost then or i would i would pretty much put them in the category of the short term losers in this. just the whole thing sure that clearly how israel has no long term strategy in dealing

with the palestinian people early gaza and hamas by clinging so. hard to this approach to resist and of course collaborating on bridging on and building more popularity to be honest with you just before the attacks or do. popularity was pretty much it and now it's coming back again to the scene. and preventing. a ground invasion on the power and pretty much defending them at least that's what the with the public in august thanks. kevin i interviewed a spokesman from the israeli prime minister's office i think the government lost popular opinion over the outcome of the conflict which saw so-called surgical israeli bombings kill dozens of gazan civilians. you know definitely there are many people in israel the think the prime minister should. get

more and more get more of this operation go in ground operation because these people don't believe but hamas will really start firing rockets and fortunately unfortunately people in israel cannot believe the international community can. pressure and enforce the cease fire and that's why people are so kind of frustrated the prime minister started that. and i'd like to ask you about that so while you're on the line an interested party course in all this looking on some officials there have said that israel is showing weakness by letting a mass of the hook how concerned are you with terrans reaction well first of all i don't thing israel was weak israel was poor is needed to stop the rockets we did you know very surgical attacks on terrorists and even now with the very surgical attacks on terrorists we don't want to use force more than we

need and that in every every case just let us live in peace we will not use force believe me there were dozens of civilians in gaza killed including thirty seven children will anyone in your government or military be held accountable for those deaths you think differently and we really really sorry for these deaths but you should know that hamas terrorists are behind civilians they fire rockets from schools they hide their rockets in hospitals they use apartments of people in order to fire rockets on our civilians you know when we hurt civilians we really regret that but come us target our civilians they see victory in hurting civilians when we do that unfortunately we're really sorry and we see failure there and believe me if we do want the civilians will not be heard we call upon civilians and we are. do it every time before every strike we call upon surveillance not so be around the

terrorists and lucky enough to lead the terrorists use the civilians and then nobody will hurt and that's doing what we want we want to target and hurt only those who fire rockets on us. the fostering system is on the council in the u.k. . for the move kids from the foster family parents politically. to ethnic children this story in detail just. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the island is the of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until

two thousand and four the island was part of the borders own and was completely restricted to visit is now the speke choice place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction. to be has been exploring the deaths of the world seas for several decades but it's here at more your own island where he has finally found what he'd been looking for . the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is extremely rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet including the island of bali on top of my list while some go to the region to enjoy the sights others convert the islands nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight show hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious salamon caviar and necessary attribute of any feast in russia

the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than a hundred million dollars net profit. and two large extent this is. mentally. operates in the only and natural habitat and mild climate unique natural sights and delicious seafood succulent can offer a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination. good to have you with us if you just joined us three children have been removed

from their foster parents in britain because of the political views of the couple leading to public anger the council granted them unfit for fostering because the supporters of the u.k. independence party and were looking after ethnic children but the ban let's say spoke to our team about the confusion and controversy surrounding this case. this by all accounts is a family with an exemplary fostering record they've been fostering kids for the last twelve years and why is that membership of a political party a very mainstream political party should now a fact that it's unclear but it's the fact that this local council received this temple off as they say that they are members of this party and that's the reason why the children were taken away so a lot of people very angry about that in the u.k. at the moment if you think about it in one way it's kind of like it defeats the point if a couple once. lost a multicultural children it's a very very strange shabby as i said a lot of people saying that this is

a clear case of political correctness gone very wrong once again in britain with kids that need to be cared for taken away from a very good loving home because these political views that are very mainstream by the latest polls are something like nine percent of the u.k. support you can't yes they euro skeptic yes. they want immigration to be curbed but it's very peculiar indeed what's the rest of the general public saying about these i mean should we now expect all foster families to undergo scrutiny of political views if they think you'll all be adopting kids. well the short answer is no tabby foster family should not undergo any sort of scrutiny about their political views there's lots of children that need to be fostered and these people do a very brave a very. courageous thing and the fact is that it's just

a move has ruffled the feathers not of just. supporters of you can't but it's people that campaign for fostering because they say that it's a very bad move that's going to put a lot of prospective foster parents that want to do a very good thing off potentially fostering more kids that really need to be very home so it's a very sensitive issue and as i said ruffled the feathers of a lot of people. let's not discuss this with paul nuttall he's u.k. independence party m.e.p. for the north west of england joining me live from liverpool so the council is accuse your party of racist policies how do you respond to that. well i think it's outrageous to be perfectly honest with you we're not a racist party in fact. when we see racism it's written into our constitution in fact on the same day as the byelection in rotterdam which is there's a by election in croydon north where our candidates block and i think it's an absolute disgrace and i think it's a case of desperation really from the labor party we have

a byelection as i said. exactly in the same area where this terrible incident has taken place on the council have gone ahead and persecuted this family because they are members of ukip i'm not too sure whether this is a coincidence or not now your party is though critical of multiculturalism and political correctness is this incident an indication that perhaps you're being misunderstood in your failing to communicate your policies. absolutely not i think our policies are quite clear i think the fact that we're now around ten to twelve percent in the opinion polls goes ahead and shows that the fact is that it's. the leaders of the labor party has come out and said there needs to be an investigation into the. michael gove the conservative education secretary has come out and said that this is a disgrace so we're getting backing not just from the people because the public is on the whole behind us on this they think it's a disgrace it would also getting the backing from other political parties as well so you agree with the whole idea that no matter what political persuasion couples

are they should be able to adopt children. oh look this corporal have been foster parents for the past seven years they have been given children homes and doing a good job what happens here is a case of persecution i think it's absolutely wrong in the people who will suffer as a result will be the children because they've been happy the i've read in the report today that they have been one of the children's because to call them. they removed what will happen to these children now looked at by the people who isn't isn't bringing children up in a political environment of consideration for example would you be happy to see members of the british nationalist party adopting or fostering children for a political party accused of racism. well look i think each case needs to be taken on the sole basis and we are not a racist party it's quite clear it's written into our constitution we actually vang members who have been members of the british national party in the past we are completely and also the and the basis and i think that there is no coincidence that this is happens when there is a byelection in that area on thursday where you keep is projected to do very well

could you keep see this is a political advantage and bring to the attention the fact that the adoption fostering laws in the u.k. really do need a shake up understand that seven out of eight parents are rejected the. possibility to foster or adopt it is that and there is perhaps the you could now you. well i think it's something that certainly needs to be looked at i mean there are seventy thousand children in care in this country which quite frankly is obscene that is too many and what we need to be doing is getting these children out of the care and into good homes because you know the statistics don't lie on those children in care are more likely to grow op and end up in prison and not too well at school etc the best place for children in care to be is with loving families and that's why this whole thing is obscene for not only united kingdom independence party and the people of north west of england thank you for your time thanks for joining us. thank you what are some other world news now police in thailand used tear gas to

disperse the first major protest against the current government around ten thousand poured into the streets and a group of demonstrators were tear gassed and they tried to break through a police barricade the protesters accuse a prime minister of a stance and corruption pm sixteen month old government is on high alert and says it could call in the army support if the situation gets out of control. the means of late palestinian leader yasser arafat will be chouse that he sudden death in two thousand and four let some palestinians to claim he was poisoned by israel something tel aviv the investigation into his death was renewed earlier this year after traces of deadly radioactive polonium were found in arafat's clothing the samples will be examined by experts from russia switzerland and france. well after a short break gives you insight into the global financial headlines from washington that's couple account more news in thirty five minutes from now.
