on our online live from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. nationwide protests have kicked off in egypt with thousands gathering caro's tahrir square to oppose president morsi decree morsi made himself and the islamist dominated upper house of parliament in new into any kind of oversight including from the courts true reports from current behind me to several hundred thousand people and created in a protest that people are saying one of the largest a scene really in most of the year that people are chanting against the muslim brotherhood and people are trying to against this very contentious constitution that duration which you would see it said the president sweeping powers because he's seen protests across the country in different governorates against this country to constitution declaration as well as different sectors of society he had protests that march today by the journalist indicates you joined us in south korea
2:02 pm
in addition judges themselves stakes a great test and lawyers say really we've seen protests across the. against this document in addition to howard dean rise smooth protests and supports of the president his decree not to me i headed up by the embassy but ahead on islamist parties not just on a face to cooling which is all too conservative orthodox the islamic group of fanatics ondrea the president announced often having crisis talks with the judiciary that it's actually would stand by his concession that duration i wouldn't step down he said that it wasn't an infringement on marriage just starting with that he failed to actually give any reasons why not is the case the muslim brotherhood was supposed to hold the process today high interest cracker which they then moved outside of the square because their fears of bloodshed guy went pro and anti brotherhood supporters matts they actually ended up canceling not because of pressure from people saying that they really would be
2:03 pm
a lot of violence on the streets of the brotherhood came down to this is really the only reaction we see from the presidential office and he said during the mission brotherhood's. khaled fahmy editor of the. newspaper says people see morsi as late as act as the beginning of a new dictatorship. this. divided egypt even bought a. civil war fortunately. very same thing for which. before. dictatorship this is what we are looking. people. looking at this crowd you cannot. christiane who is liberal leftist this is the people who are saying no to. fascism making the
2:04 pm
president above the law the president and the muslim brotherhood behind him have already lost their credibility they have promised so many things in the past and they never kept their promises that's why most of these people are on the streets they were talking about over a million up till now because they are not happy with. morse's decision to assume the 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 it's crucial role in the truce giving the green light for the drastic action and. international teams of medics are 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 repaired in
2:05 pm
ramallah at his middle east correspondent paula 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 b. question has never been on said to him exactly what exactly killed. just how this thing is believe that israel was behind his killing although israel has repeatedly and consistently denied this at the time of his due it was radioactive material that was found on his office witnessing now is an investigation that is seen a team of international investigators to take samples of these tissues they will be in any case occasionally various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months for them hopefully. 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
2:06 pm
and media analysts have pointed out that the old doozy of a 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 ira fired now of course al-jazeera is backed by qatar and qatar has made no bones of the fact that it's disparate to see some kind of changes within the p.a. 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 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 qatar and how much let me just remind you that some two hundred and fifty million dollars were recently made by qatar to hamas to help palestinians in the gaza strip rebuild their homes in the
2:07 pm
infrastructure off to the operation. now what we also know is that israel stands to lose from all of this of course israel has been alarmed by the close relationship between hamas as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi they are 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 summation of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about a much longer deeper ramifications. political analyst i spoke to mr lee he says the investigation into the cause of arafat's death could be used as a tool to trigger rifts between rival palestinian political forces if there is a poisoning of president barack had someone must have put the poison in his food or must have put his poison on his skin and to do that it must be someone from his close entourage and to open this investigation would clear disputes within the fact
2:08 pm
that movement and within the close people to yasser arafat who are now the closest people to mahmoud abbas so therefore the question is is there a political objective on the part of qatar to support such an investigation or is it just an investigation because people really want to know what happened to their leader and they want justice to be you know achieved. well there's always plenty to see on a web site r.t. don't calm head there from the stories pictures analysis online right now for you apocalypse ready we've got the story of how some of the private companies are offering everything necessary to survive the end of the world. in prison the occupied part of the compound the russian new. 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 with. the unconventional suggestion.
2:09 pm
he is a lord and quite the gas he's come out with a not one you'd expect from someone who's had such high government positions in the process this lord 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 what you want to kill but 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
2:10 pm
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 mountains the borders that's going to use all of those we live in except if you go. to them if you. are going to be some. very very unpleasant place to go they would. be reduce your problems. for infiltration from one side or 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 their herders so rather a bizarre idea and a very dangerous one i just told was his proposal received funding. well as
2:11 pm
you can expect 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 have heard all of this comment that he's made saying that this is really the kind of thing that makes a mockery out of the british establishment understanding of the problems in the very sensitive problems in the region and a mockery of the house of lords ultimately. syrian rebels going to help. despite. its. presence in the.

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 u.s. 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 america's 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 as 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 them the training that somehow these will be reliable forces you can see in the case of afghanistan the governments are united the governments are partners but the afghan troops don't consider the
