all you need is your mobile device. any time. after years of uncertainty the palestinians could finally find out while the kid the leader yasser arafat's his grave has been able and scientists can dig for clues about whether he was poisoned. clashes in cairo as thousands pour into the streets for protest against president morsi is news reaping powers saying he and his muslim brotherhood stole the revolution. and another default of virtue to the e.u. shells out more cash for the release of ali won't pay out of exchange for dangers austerity.

you're watching live from moscow with me tom would say international teams of medics are hoping to dispel the controversy surrounding the death of iconic palestinian leader yasser arafat's eight years ago his body was exam so they could take tissue samples with investigation into allegations that are fired may have been poisoned his remains have now been ribera to in ramallah artie's middle east correspondent policia has more. choose day the body of the former palestinian leader yasser arafat was removed from it's more than where it's been for the better part of eight years since he died back in two thousand and four and since that time the question has never been on syria to hear exactly what exactly killed our five most how this thing is believe that israel was behind his killing although israel has repeatedly i'm consistently denied this at the time of his did 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 then

lead an investigation in various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months but then hopefully once before it will be an answer to the question as to what exactly killed the former palestinian leader when we talk about the death of yasser arafat is a lot of behind the scenes political maneuvering and repeatedly experts and critics and media analysts have pointed out that the old dizzier network has been at the forefront of investigating what killed yasser arafat in fact they have spearheaded this whole investigation back in july they released a documentary that was entitled what killed our fight now of course al jazeera is backed by qatar and qatar has made no bones of the fact that it's desperate to see some kind of changes within the p.a. qatar would like to see the palestinian president mahmoud abbas pushed away from power and for more radical elements to come to power not only in gaza but also in the west bank and most notably here we're talking about hamas this would hope

because tory's meet their goals particularly in syria where for quite some time they have been pushing for regime change which was also witnessed a growing together in terms of relationship between the qatar and who must let me just remind you that some two hundred and fifty million dollars were recently pledged by qatar to hamas to help palestinians in the gaza strip to rebuild their homes in their infrastructure off to the operation. coslet 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 her master as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi very very coming closer together and expressing more vocal anti israel sentiment so there's a lot happening behind the scenes we're not just talking about the extermination of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about a much longer deeper ramifications. but current palestinian leadership submitted a draft resolution to the u.n.

general assembly in order to receive nonmember observer status and if the bid is approved palestinians have more of a chance of bringing israel to justice he leaves jenin that's james carpet. if they are successful in this bid then they will actually be able to bring the israeli government before the international criminal court to answer that for charges of war crimes etc and it is conceivable at least that they would be able to bring a case if it was proven that arafat was killed by israeli agents that they would be able to bring a case before the international criminal court on that ground if they do manage to get this this nonmember status upgrade but but again that's a that's a political long shot in a number of regards and whether or not the international criminal court would even be interested in hearing about the case is another matter entirely the vast majority of palestinians have always assumed that israel assassinated arafat if this goes on to confirm that it kind of throws in the face of the palestinians their helplessness in a situation like this and this was underscored actually just earlier this month

when israel came out and for the first time military censors allowed information about the killing of five co-founder not just to yasser arafat but also khaleel al with here was a co-founder of fatah he was assassinated by israel in one nine hundred eighty eight and for twenty five years basically there's been this secrecy over the killing and finally just that earlier this month israel has cleared that and the actual interviews with the commandos who kicked carried out that assassination have been published. police have clashed with the n.t. muslim brotherhood protesters in cairo are head of a massive opposition rally nationwide action is planned to oppose president mohamed morsi the latest decree seen as a blatant a pole grab the president made himself and islam is dominating to the upper house of parliament immune to any kind of an aside including from the courts he claims the measures will only be in place until a new constitution is drawn up which is expected within two months most his

opponents will say they will stay in the streets until he reverses the. belfry was watching the situation in the egyptian capital. apart from saying that he isn't a faction wish to show authority which is very hard to prove as he has actually range in the power visionary and promising that he will use his newfound power as a negative way moves he hasn't actually i'm offered anything to the opposition forces in terms of 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 around here opposition forces that will refuse to leave the square and show 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 them protests across the country and actually with the texas protestors including a member of the recent brotherhood you seeing clashes between pro and anti mr bobbitt supporters in various different governorates and of course we've seen them

of people within the journalists indicates you wanted to call for a strike against it in addition fidgety sharee who did actually call a partial strike so really we're still seeing massive dissent across the country with no sign of this abating. egyptian activists are calling mohamed morsi a new dictator saying he sees more power than the os that hosni mubarak ever had geo political analysts are greats i believe the current and reza shows revolution has changed a little. if anything it would simply be a continuation of the original revolution which the revolution if we're going to call it that we did not succeed in the sense that it was able to oust mubarak but it did not actually seems our 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 a broad base of the support as they would like to pretend there are many elements

within egypt to work very much dissatisfied with the muslim brotherhood would like to see changes within the political structure of 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 a five billion dollar strings attached loans from the 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 their control with these sweeping powers morsi is decision to assume near absolute powers came just hours after he helped broker a cease fire between israel and hamas in gaza online right now we've got more on how his crucial role in the jews gave them a green light for the drastic action at home. france has become one of the main sponsors of the syrian revolution giving more than one and a half million dollars to the newly formed opposition coalition the donation is

being criticized some major concerns the body does not have enough authority among even the country's population and professor paul shelton foote things money will prompt only more fighting in syria. rance major interest would be to continue with sorenson or you armaments of the throughout the world that industry but it i don't think it really cared sir just as they didn't here in the case of libya all they were of course tomorrow most got off and they didn't really care who took over afterwards they probably think the so-called syrian opposition is that they are not united the only thing unites the belief that they were going to remove the current government they come from a very wide range of other. religious viewpoints. viewpoint and have ethnic origins. if they ever were to succeed in syria they were not be able to come together and they would be

a new round of fighting to determine who will. dominate all the other groups russia has condemned what it calls of france's even legal decision to allocate money to the syrian national council saying it shouldn't be able violent regime change without all the details as well as moscow's view on how the crisis should be result on why. another arab spring country libya is also welcoming agent from the west washington is helping the country improve its military their revolution torn country is reportedly hosting hundreds of u.s. soldiers who are training the new libyan army marches gannett she can reports on why america is so happy to help. the pentagon's new outlook forget about full scale invasion is and large footprint occupation instead think special ops and proxy army 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 a legion says to a variety of rays of things that the national interest so they have allegiance to 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 the ninety nine yard you were just teaching them the best way to fight this we're 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 more about indoctrination and make any aid each one of the children u.s. uses and as you know very successfully. to ensure that the elites in the countries concerned stay loyal to the u.s. . 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 a movie very important. for the united states and yes it will start buying american arms and substantial qualities libya's lots and lots of money to spend according to the state department this year alone 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 they 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 but america's

track 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 big governments are 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 that 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 eliminating populations that didn't want to see their military become a student of washington's wars in washington i'm gonna check out. they it was ministry is following its own rules including flying on them and kill craft abroad bombs working on a long drawn justifiable attacks which killed hundreds of civilians that's coming up. as easy as that scream crisis like locking up even basic and that's good news on the losing side of the age of. all

that and much smaller lined up. it's perched atop a jar and the view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see. for a city that. area for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed but a chance. but the a spiritual. scenes like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of worshippers of them selves implicity will to commemorate the baptism of jesus.

in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslims. surrounded by enemies to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic siberian oil of its time bringing in a third of the state revenue but the ball location had of the uses for the russians the russian. a revolt against the czar and eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists will stand there and drove. there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also served up some bit of irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office was tsar nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were fairly comfortable existence this was

a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or go outside themselves was leading this ordinary normal countryside lifestyle they even had thoughts of a scape but within the year the czar and his family would be dead. he was an artsy good to have you with us after three years of trial and error the eurozone finance ministers say they've now found the key to saving greece aside from agreeing to hand over more bailout cash to the e.u. also vowed to ease up on known conditions that isn't so long as athens keeps pushing for more stary see something that investment adviser patrick young says is leading to ruin. we can talk about the greek economy and the greek government and

how likely it's been but can you honestly reasonably expect your fellow human citizens to spend the next eight years under swishing austerity they've already had several years there are all manner of terrible social problems with increased people can't buy medicines they can't afford to get the food that is completely and utterly disgusting to see on the european continent in twenty twelve a day 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 in the political elite the elite of civil servants of the e.u. are in la la la and compared to their normal citizens the poor irish twenty thousand people on the streets of dublin at the weekend complaining about the austerity medicine they've had to take on knowing 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 be alive that's not very 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. after the recent austerity clashes in southern europe and trouble has moved to brussels where the european parliament itself has come under siege and read of all incomes of thousands of farmers have rigged up a milk can and then spray the seed of european power and the ranks of riot cops with thirteen pounds of milk a police reaction and more on line. also all the other prisoners largely by a part of their compound in the russian murals demanding an improvement in standards and the release of some inmates held in solitary confinement. with the surgery and dwindling fortunes is now a part of life across the e.u. desperate measures are called for in britain for example even basic foods are being put under lock and key with one supermarket forced to quiet down on a shoplifting epidemic artists are further reports.

supermarket as like the shake casing they cut price deals are always popular but in the midst of a recession and watching the pennies is proving more important than ever that's why mums. it is not i mean 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 traditionally it is good such as c.d.'s and alcohol that is shoplifted and so you carry the extra security but now it seems food products also being targeted in iceland and perhaps some more result it's the law that's attracting thieves very thing this extra hefty security casing. just. stunning. so there we go we've got the kids and my lambs being freed from the security vaults

now fourteen pounds all seven pounds a kilo there's actually pretty good value for the me because one of iceland's most stolen items so it's 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 grow people. you know people to 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 having to steal food. just shows this is people are struggling. some people have claimed these are targeting the choice of cuts of meat and selling it on to pubs and restaurants for profit and in iceland the lab has been the only products safe to receive the extra security blasts that might be one explanation this is saying no doubt the poverty in the u.k.

is a growing problem last year 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. really do cool desperate measures surface r.t. . but the british economy firmly in the doldrums of the government is frantically salvaging what it can where they can but artie's makes causes says it may be too late for kaiser report coming up at four thirty pm g.m.t. but he has a teaser. today the u.k. financial magazine money week says and i quote britain is about to be flattened by a tidal wave of doing that will see the end of britain i came to london because here again a front row seat on the collapse of the entire city the british guilty market the british sovereign bond market is in a three hundred. bubble bubbles pop the bond market crashes

a civilian agency that i'm not aware of what any internationally recognized legal authority for a civilian agency to go overseas and kill you know a war on terror is a war without end because you're really a war on a tactic not on a group of people so you know terror can't surrender so be fighting this war for you no longer has been the argument you know since nine eleven that the president is the commander in chief has unilateral authority to do anything necessary to keep the country safe john mccain and others here are saying that the administration needs to stand up to morsi because he can't put himself above the rule of law. if you compare his powers to the powers that our president has taken over the past decades so you know compared to the powers that morsi has taken you know our president has done a lot more. now some other headlines from around the world the man allegedly have given secret u.s. government documents to wiki leaks as he was punished while in confinement waiting
