their online life from a new center here in moscow this is the nationwide protests have kicked off in egypt with thousands gathering here square to oppose president morsi decree morsi made himself and the islamist dominated upper house of parliament immune to any kind of oversight including from the courts bill true reports from cairo. behind me there's several hundred thousand people on to korea and it protests that people are saying one of the largest they've seen really the most of the year and people are chanting against the muslim brotherhood and people a chance against this very contentious constitutional declaration which awarded the president sweeping powers we've also seen protests across the country in different governorates against this constitution constitution that gratian as well as

different sectors of society we had protests march today by the journalist in the case who had joined us in korea in addition judges themselves states in protest and lawyers say really we've seen protests across the country against this document in addition to has been small protests in support of the president and his decree largely i headed up by the embassy by the head and islamist parties like the stand i faced calling and it was all too conservative orthodox the islamic group up in alexandria the president announced after having crisis talks with the judiciary that's actually would stand by his constitutional declaration wouldn't step down he said that it wasn't an impingement on just one thirteen but that he failed to actually give any reasons why that is the case the muslim brotherhood were supposed to hold that process today in tahrir square which they then moved outside of the square because their fears of bloodshed guy went pro and anti brotherhood

supporters man they actually ended up canceling that because of pressure from people saying that they really would be a lot of violence on the streets of the brotherhood came down to this is really the only reaction we've seen from the presidential office and he said during their mission brotherhoods. before the protests in egypt as now we're joined khaled el show me he's editor of the. newspaper what a state needs the stability post revolution so isn't morsi his decree necessary. this. divided egypt. civil war. very same things. before the. dictatorship this is what we are looking at now the egyptian people

are saying no to that you. are looking at this crowd you cannot tell who is muslim christian who is liberal leftist this is the people of egypt have always been known as moderates saying no to. fascism making the president of. religious fascism are you saying this then developing to sectarian sectarian tensions getting even worse in egypt well i don't expect sectarian violence in the way between muslims and christians but the country is all the asli divided between political islam. civil. equal. to. the people. i believe to be the majority are going to insist on this decree.

and the president has said that he's not going to. decision but he is claiming he is saving the revolution he's saying that the. threatening to derail the democratic process by. attempting to break up the assembly that's trying to write that new constitution and of course affecting future parliamentary elections isn't this a temporary measure that he must impose for the sake of the future of the country. this is only political and listen the president and the muslim brotherhood behind him have already lost their credibility they have promised so many things in the past never keep their promises first of all muslim brotherhood promised any candidate forward for the presidential elections and the ended up voting two candidates. now the president is asking the people to trust him.

all day already know that he did not keep his promises regarding reforming the assembly is going to be writing. his promises regarding traffic food. cleaning so many things he promised the people and they didn't really see much difference and that's why most of these people are on the streets they were talking about over a million to now. one aspect of this decree that would appease the protesters not is he is going to order the retrial of those responsible for violence against protesters during the revolution which deposed back now surely that's something that the opposition protesters would welcome. no this is all as a political. cover up to the real coup or of the creed that he will over the all establishment in egypt he will become above the law he will go to the

constitution that would suit only political islam. he will do in eight. make sure that he control every thing listen the constitutional court in egypt in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven has made the same very day that he is not happy about the peace said the parliament had to be dissolved because the law which should be election with iran was faulty and the dictator hosni mubarak had to pay them and he did. dissolve the parliament or so this is not a new thing that the constitutional court would order out of the parliament to be dissolved what's what's happening because of power struggles now the muslim brotherhood have the majority in this parliament they don't want this parliament to go away because they know if they lose this parliament they are not going to win another elections so they are hanging to power it was all in all strains the the

have against the will of the people the judiciary system is highly respected it is only in the last safety net we have if this is to be done is going to be a lawless country today no banks are walking in egypt and all schools most of course already are working in the state is but a law is it is that serious the situation is thank you very much indeed khalid al shami editor of. the newspaper there thank you very much indeed for joining us. well decision to assume new 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 truce gave him a green light for the drastic action at home. international teams of medics hoping to dispel the controversy surrounding the death of iconic palestinian leader yasser arafat eight years ago his body was

exhumed so they could take tissue samples for the investigation into allegations that may have been poisoned his remains have now been buried in ramallah like his middle east correspondent has more. chouse 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 the five most palestinians believe that israel was behind his killing although israel has repeatedly i'm consistently denied this at the time of his due if there was radioactive material that was found on his clothing what we witnessing now is an investigation that is seeing a team of international investigators take samples of these tissues they will lead investigator in various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months for them hopefully one simple 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 very good to see some kind of changes within the p.a. could top 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 tarries meet their goals particularly and 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 how much 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 rebuild their homes in the infrastructure after 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 harassed as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi the they 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. the current palestinian leadership submitted a draft resolution to the un general assembly in order to receive normal member observer status and if the bid is approved palestinians would have more of a chance of taking legal action against israel so believes journalist james corbett . 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 fatah co-founder not just to yasser arafat but also khaleel with fear 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 the secrecy over the killing

and finally just the earlier this month israel has a clear that and the actual interviews with the commandos who kick carried out that assassination have been published. always played it. for more stories pictures and analysis on line right now for you apocalypse ready we've got the story of how some enterprising companies are offering everything necessary to survive the end of the world. with their prisoners occupied part of their compound in the russian urals demanding an improvement in standards and the release of some inmates held in solitary confinement. a former u.k. defense minister has come up with an extreme way to curb violence in afghanistan and pakistan he wants to drop a neutron bomb on the country's border well earlier i spoke to our to go about the unconventional suggestion here's a lord and quite the gaffer has come out with a not one you'd expect from someone who has had such high government positions in

the process killed but he was a defense minister under tony blair he was a member of the security and intelligence committee said privy to a lot of information sort of an expert in the defense field and he'd think he'd come up with some rather more constructive suggestions than what he's come up with bill but that's clearly not the case what has he come up with what did he propose exactly. well lord gilbert quite literally suggested threatening to drop a neutron bomb on the pakistani afghan border in order to crack down on terrorism in the region now a neutron bomb is a thermonuclear weapon is designed to kill everybody in its wake and but it will leave physical structures intact so that's his bizarre suggestion and it was made during a debate in the house of lords during none of that it was a debate on the topic wait for it nuclear disarmament let's take

a listen. to the borders that's going to use all of those be divvied up if you go. with them if you. are going to be some. there's a place to. bring your problems. through for everyone. he's talking about a quarter on sunday tab that could effectively be created by. this threat of a nuclear attack on this remote mountainous region where according to lord hill but nobody lives apart from a few goats and that so rather a bizarre idea and very dangerous one i just told was his proposal received funding. well as you can expect to there's such a crime that it's been condemned by everybody in the house of lords of course the government spokesman in the house of lords is very quickly said that lord.

rumbustious view isn't shared by the government on this topic a lot of people quite angry that he's come out and said this and of course everyone even outside of politics who have heard all of this comment that he's made a saying that this is really the kind of thing that makes a mockery out of the british establishment understanding of the problems that in the very sensitive problems in the region and a mockery of the house of lords ultimately. syrian rebels got a helping hand from from paris per cent of the nation of a million dollars despite criticism that. we're stepping up its presence in the arab world putting a lot of its efforts into creating a proxy army in the region all that coming your way just a few minutes. i

never thought i could earn a living this way. natale issue of i as a lawyer should test small arms of the sort i was to machine building cool and not obvious sourced count of all the weapons she's fired over the past twelve years. i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the rifle range and i say no wait i'm so tired of shooting. the plants history goes from making firearms during world war two to ballistic missiles from your class submarines during the cold war the bulk of the soviet industry was moved here in the 1940's to flee the advancing germans so i was here also became the heart of soviet military production closed off to foreigners for hoffa's century it thrived on the massive moods of the soviet military when the u.s.s.r. collapsed but life here was shaken to the core but some adapted to better than others. this is the year old truck factory brushes the number one truck

maker or gravel look at how well the workplace is organized everything's done to make sure the workers don't waste time waiting there was so production is booming the factory has largely managed to get on to civil rails these giants are sold around the globe hit a base of brand new be no way to be delivered to acquire seventy trucks like this one roll up the blanks can read about every day. look at this things that absolutely huge. well i'm no formula one pilot but hopefully if i can get up that. i can go for a test drive. well that was fun to get one of these to travel to whatever in the morning what's with the cost of about forty thousand dollars i should start saving money.

here in moscow after three years of trial and error the euro zone's finance ministers say they've now find the key to saving greece aside from agreeing to hand over more boehner cares the e.u. also vowed to ease up on loan conditions that is so long as athens keeps pushing more authority but economist leonid us says he doesn't expect any good to come from this new deal and we should lose you on that you would be if very negative for a greek get people just for a visit is one no one not with the exception of the greek government was a healing court of this new zealand rule we know all about in the next months and the next to you. as you watch. that leads to

nowhere it day missions now and the last three years to be. able to move these people would be it in last. gets we hear of it dealing now with more of them. issue receipts in the last two years sure you're going to get a stab at that. in america man. the new great deal despite dividing the people seems to have given a much needed boost to the markets next hour dimitri has more on that in business that's right well it's not really a direct deaths right down but it has pretty much the same effect for the markets it means that greece is becoming less of a risk factor for the next couple of months maybe for the next year and also prime minister dmitry medvedev has said that he hopes the next tranche of the bailout money for greece will be the final settlement and that russia will also maintain its foreign currency reserves in the euro it has forty two percent of its reserves

in the euro and russia remains hopeful that well the e.u. will come out of its crisis more on this in the next hour. new video footage gives more credibility to claims that syrian rebels are now using surface to air missiles against government forces the footage shows a helicopter being hit by a missile and bursting into flames it was purportedly shot near a key army base outside the city of aleppo which rebel fighters have been trying to seize for several months arab gulf states have been accused of supplying the rebels with weapons throughout the conflict while france has openly admitted it wants to sponsor the syrian revolution heiresses pledged one and a half million dollars for the opposition which according to professor hill sheldon foote will lead only to more fighting in syria. france major interest will be you to continue with sorenson your moments that we're all really but it. really cured serve just as though it didn't cure and it goes live your all the while it was tomorrow i was going to happen they didn't really curious. how more

things saw cronk syrian opposition leaders that they are not united unites that they would like to remove the current government they come from a very wide range of. religious viewpoints. viewpoints of earthquake origins are. never going to succeed in syria they were not be able to come together and they would be in no round of fighting to determine who . dominate all the other groups. another arab spring country libya is also welcoming aid from the west washington is helping the country improve its military the revolution torn countries reportedly hosting hundreds of u.s. soldiers who are training the new libyan army can report some 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 its

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 b.b. and militia commander a team of americans is already in the country looking for recruits a major obstacle in their wary a vastly divided society there isn't an army and a libyan now and the army is not going to be because whenever you try and get militias which have been legion says to a variety of rays of things than the national interest so they have allegiance to a dr 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 us we have more pragmatic goals then uniting the army you were just teaching them the best way to fight this

war training essentially 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 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 us. a lot in terms of foreign policy and in terms of opening our economies our economy to u.s. multinationals will be and will be very important. and 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 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 various truck 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 the u.s. government may be looking at training armies abroad as 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. more news for in thirty five minutes from now meantime capital account with lauren lyster exploring the role poverty and the stricken economy. causing and prolonging violent unrest that's from washington next here on auto.
