meantime says reassuring them that he's not acting in the way of a dictator and as you can probably see behind me there's still hundreds of people on down here opposition forces that will refuse to leave to square and so he backs down in this contentious document we're going to see. several thousand people in the streets everything for a million man march against this declaration we've seen protests across the country and actually with the deaths of protesters including a member of the mizzen brotherhood we've seen clashes between pro and anti muslim brotherhood supporters in various different governorates and of course we've seen them of people within the journalist syndicates who wanted to call for a strike against it in addition to the judiciary who did actually call a partial strike so really we're still seeing massive dissent across the country with no sign of this abating. education calling mohamed morsi a new dictator and saying has see is the more power than the ousted hosni mubarak i

had and your political analyst eric draitser believes the current unrest shows the revolution has changed little in the country if anything it would simply be a continuation of the original revolution the revolution if we're going to call it that did not succeed in the sense that it was able to oust mubarak but it did not actually scenes power instead it created a power vacuum and one that was filled by the political machine of the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood though they were able to win the elections last year they don't actually have as broad based of the support as they would like to pretend there are many elements within egypt who are very much dissatisfied with the muslim brotherhood who would like to see changes within the political structure . the country this has to do both internally with the political situation but also with the diplomatic and the geopolitical situation when the people of egypt realize that they've been swindled into five billion dollar strings attached loans from the
1:04 am
i.m.f. and this is under the auspices of the muslim brotherhood well the muslim brotherhood will need some political control be able to maintain that control with these sweeping powers. hunder morse's decision to assume the absolute powers came just hours after he helped broker a cease fire between israel and hamas and gaza and online for you right now we've got more on how his crucial role in the truce gave him a green light for the drastic action at home. the remains of the palestinian leader yasser arafat have just been it is you now an international team of forensic experts will take tissue samples hoping to clear doubts over the cause of his death in just hours and done for and let's not cross live to our middle east correspondent paula it's clear for me good morning paula so what's triggered the eggs you may divorce are these scientists looking for what questions are you hoping to answer. well only on tuesday the body of the former palestinian leader yasser
1:05 am
arafat was removed from it's more psyllium where it's been for the better part of eight years since he died back in two thousand and four and since that time big question has never been on thirty three exactly what exactly killed our five most palestinians believe that israel was behind his killing although it's one has repeatedly and consistently denied this at the time of his death there was radioactive material that was found on his clothing what we're witnessing now is an investigation that is seeing a team of international investigators take samples of these tissues they will lead any basic age and various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months but then hopefully once and for all it will be an answer to the question as to what exactly killed the former palestinian leader. yes and if it's proved that he didn't die from natural causes what could be why the implications of such a result be. well there's a lot of list of interests in terms of who or what exactly was behind the death of
1:06 am
yasser arafat i'll remind you that back in july of zero ran a documentary that was titled what killed yes i referred not alters europe is of course that. by the qatari government and what we've witnessed for some time is record told would like to see the palestinian authority lose its grip the sunnis and the power over the palestinian people they're desperate to see some kind of change within the palestinian leadership for some time the khatami's of also wanted to see the palestinian president mahmoud abbas step down and to see more radical elements come to power not only in gaza but also in the west bank of course most notably here we're talking about hamas they want to see their goals maintained when i say very goals i'm talking about for talks they want to see regime change in syria they are they have been pushing for this for quite some time now for years also al-jazeera has been publishing various stories about israeli assassination as an targeted killings this is always at the forefront of the news telling they
1:07 am
almost obsessed with the fact that israel is sesame to refer to we witnessed this amongst numerous reports that they have in fact issued at the same time they've also accused the palestinian president mahmoud abbas of working together with israel to try and deal rail any kind of investigation that would entail the truth as to whom the watch was behind the death of yasser arafat's we will also witness a growing together in terms of relationship between qatar and how much let me just remind you that some two hundred and fifty million dollars were recently pledged by qatar to him us to help palestinians in the gaza strip to rebuild their homes in the infrastructure off the operation cost lead which was some four years ago that operation between israel and hamas at the same time the hamas headquarters have been moved from damascus to doe so certainly within the context of all of that we do see a vested interest on the on the side of the khatami's in terms of this whole arafat
1:08 am
story this is important the timing of this exhumation because it comes during the week that be punished and president mahmoud abbas will be renewing his good full statehood he will be. and the united nations later this week and asking for palestinian recognition now if in fact he wins that that will be a bee in his bonnet but if he loses it he could see himself losing masses of amounts of palestinian support now what we also know is that israel stands to lose from all of this of course israel has been alarmed by the close close relationship between harassed as well as saudi arabia because the relationship between qatar and the palestinian president mohamed morsi bid they coming closer together and expressing more vocal anti israel sentiment and at the same time what we are hearing is from a number of analysts saying that this should seen israel in the united states work closer together with more moderate elements both within the palestinian leadership particularly factor and elsewhere so there's
1:09 am
a lot happening behind the scenes we're not just talking about it's imation of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about much longer deeper ramifications. very interesting paula slayer our correspondent in the middle east live from tel aviv thank you very much. france has allocated one point five million dollars in aid to the new syrian rebel coalition that's despite criticism for and raise the block may not have enough support inside the country or even much control of the anti assad fighters on the ground france was also one of the few nations to give its full endorsement to the group and professor paul sheldon food paris is pursuing only one major goal in syria. rance major interest would be to continue with sorenson your recent sore throat that we're all really but it. really cured served just as they didn't here in the case of libya all they were close to were ours got up and they didn't really care who took over afterwards the. problem or thing the
1:10 am
so-called syrian opposition is that they are not united the only thing unites the militant they would like to remove the current government they come from a very wide range of political and religious viewpoints. viewport origins. never going to succeed in syria not be able to come together and they would be in no round of fighting do you determine who will dominate all the other groups. meanwhile russia says french recognition of the syrian opposition bloc as well as its calls to supply the rebels with arms are illegal find out about why moscow is critical and also how it says its relations with damascus by logging on to r.t. dot com another strong advocate of toppling the government in syria the u.s. is now helping to deal with the chaos that emerged after forceful power change in

libya washington wants to assist in the creation of a new libyan on the as part of its major program of training tens of thousands of foreign soldiers from across the globe he's going that you can now takes a look at what's in forth what's in it for it for the u.s. . the pentagon's new outlook forget about full scale invasion is and large footprint occupation instead think of special ops and proxy armies next destination libya the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for a special unit reportedly made up of some five hundred people who will train the country's forces according to one libyan militia commander a team of americans is already in the country looking for recruits a major obstacle in their way a vastly divided society there isn't an army and libya now and the army is not going to be because whenever you try and get militias which have been region says to a variety of rays of things than the national interest so they have allegiance to
1:12 am
a drive or to a sect or to a religion rather than having allegiance to the nation or to the country you cannot build an army but with training and aid fully via the u.s. we have more pragmatic goals then uniting the army you were just teaching them the best way to fight this war training it actually because it's really about not so much about you know teaching people how to use rifles and how to use new equipment it's all about really what indoctrination make any age one of the children the u.s. uses and as you know very successfully. to ensure that the elite in the countries concerned stay loyal to the us. a lot in terms of foreign policy to state law to them in terms of opening their economies up. to u.s. multinationals will be and will be very important. for the united states and yes it will start buying american arms and substantial qualities liers lots and
1:13 am
lots of money to spend according to the state department this year along the u.s. spent six point three billion dollars financing foreign armies it argues investing in foreign militaries helps build. better alliances and further american interests abroad from the point of view of the u.s. government of course it's very useful to have other countries militaries integrated into the us they get the training then they get the equipment they get the arms it's the full package the idea of proxy armies is not new to the america struck record of training foreign armies has hardly been flawless you have the school of americas for instance which is trained all the the armies that became the torturers of latin america that started after world war two i would say the training troops is especially in the middle east in the case of iraq or in afghanistan something of a catastrophe it's premised on a fantasy that if the u.s. buys the uniforms gives them the guns provides in the training that somehow these will be reliable forces you can see in the case of afghanistan the governments are
1:14 am
united the governments are partners but the afghan troops don't consider the americans to be their friends in fact they consider them to be cultural aliens who are occupying their country more than fifty coalition troops were killed this year alone by members of the afghan security forces or it is out that the obama administration wants to leave around ten thousand troops in afghanistan to continue to train afghan forces and carry out special operations after twenty fourteen when according to the obama administration american forces are supposed to have completely left the country the afghan government has less than two years to agree or reject the idea the u.s. government may be looking at training armies abroad is a smart investment sort of like outsourcing makes sense in business it's cheaper than having u.s. troops on the ground no need to explain dead troops coming home makes sense from a lot of perspectives. but that strategy has backfired more than once in the past even naming populations that didn't want to see their military become

a student of washington's wars in washington i'm going to check out. and coming up later this hour the bailout battle maybe i'll go but down three main. the political elite the elites of civil servants and the e.u. are in la la la and compared to their normal citizens agrees guess the much needed cash for his ailing economy the experts say it's not on the right off as incision makers are out of touch with reality. and the rolling way will stare as he seems to be driving not only protesters on to this train but also a flood of less than honest people into the supermarkets well that's a nice place. waves

of corruption are rocking russia hundreds of millions of dollars very much for apec building projects and russia's got a nice satellite project a real estate scandal has also led to the defense minister being fired note i said fire in russia we hear a lot about corruption scandals and the reaction is usually a firing or a forced resignation and maybe that would be ok another country but russia has big dreams in a big country that has big corruption spoiling all of those dreams a country can't survive with every infrastructural or scientific project is sucked dry from within whether the government is unwilling or unable to sternly punish these offenders is a huge topic by could tell you that if there is no real fear of punishment this will just keep going on for ever perhaps it's time to put a big asterisk for high level corruption next to the moratorium on the death penalty but that's just my opinion.

is also the line from the greek government is breathing a sigh of relief finance ministers agreed to release the next cash injection for the debt ridden country it means office has once again escaped the fold but will still have to massively a cut of the data by twenty twenty investment advisor patrick young says the measures being forced upon the people have turned to greece into said well country . we can talk about the greek economy and the greek government to highlight its big but can you honestly reasonably expect your fellow human citizens to spend the next eight years under swishing austerity they've already had social years there are all manner of terrible social problems within greece people can't buy medicines they can't afford to get the food that is completely and utterly disgusting to see on
1:20 am
the european continent in twenty twelve a day what we've got is a kind of kinetic energy of the european union level where they think that if they keep spinning and they keep talking and they keep telling us everything ok and on to muttley people are wandering around a central square in brussels then everything's going to be absolutely fine for the political elite the elite of civil servants of the e.u. are in la la land compared to their normal citizens and the poor greeks are suffering badly as a result greece is governed in a third world fashion at the moment not to the first world fashion and battle timidly is causing a huge amount of frustration with a great many e.u. finance ministers some of whom because they've got lots of money such as save germany and poland and so on some of them because they've actually taken their medicine the poor irish twenty thousand people on the streets of dublin at the weekend complaining about the austerity medicine they've had to annoy they're hearing that the greeks are going to get all manner of concessions in order to be allowed to get through the next hurdle to get their next belied that it's not fair
1:21 am
very unreasonable a lot of people and that's leading a huge number of politicians to be increasingly fed up with the whole greek situation and a ceratin process sake a bizarre twist as police discover protesters don't just throw stones in their direction or not of course the story of how the hunt for the father is angry at forming food prices have by bike and security forces with and bill kernan had to answer to. the e.u. debt crisis forcing u.k. supermarkets to take action as stores across the country are looking out against those desperate for food. and as fast reports the measures come as no surprise in britain where people's financial plight is making them more and more willing to take risks. see the market as like the shea casing they cut price deals are always popular but in the midst of a recession good morning the penny is proving more important than ever that's why

it was that. it is not only mums that go to iceland but also apparently shoplifters too is that the supermarket chains been so blighted by things that they've been forced to step up their security measures to dish living in it's good such as speedy as an alcohol that is shoplifted and so they carry the extra security but now it seems food products also being targeted in iceland and perhaps somewhat bizarre really it's their land that's attracting thieves there are things extra hefty security casing. finest just. stunning. so there we go we've got the goods and my lands being free from the security vaults now fourteen pounds all seven pounds a kilo that's actually pretty good value for the me but it's one of iceland's most stolen items so it's
1:23 am
a sign of tough times that people are struggling to afford even the basics or is this just stealing plain and simple prices of food is going up so you can know people. you know people do it because obviously they need. they need the food. but i think it's a good idea is good for iceland to do that they need to take care of their profits really if they're having to steal food. they're not just shows isn't it people are struggling. some people have claimed these the targeting the choice of cuts of meat and selling it on to pubs and restaurants for profit and in iceland the land has been the only products safe to receive the extra security because that might be one explanation this is saying no doubt the poverty in the u.k. is a growing problem feed inflation in the u.k. was one of the highest in the e.u. and as the costs continue to skyrocket it seems that many people desperate times
