well into the. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. police crackdown on the car of protesters pressing the president to abandon his power to create all leave as demonstrations start to look like a rerun of the revolution. doesn't start the latest twenty two car bomb attacks in the syrian capital damascus amid fears away from western support for the rebels will cause further civilian. palestinians say they'll go to the international criminal court if it is confirmed the leader yasser arafat was poisoned and have the status upgrade that the u.n. will help that call. on terrorism evolved from scrambles to contain homegrown islamic radicals adept at blending into the european way of life.

online life from when you said to here moscow this is r.t. the demonstrations in egypt against what is being seen as a dictator like power grab by the president show no sign of ending of one hundred thousand people according on mohammed morsi to leave after he gave himself authority beyond reach of the courts this is the islamist dominated constitution assembly says it could complete a draft of the document in the coming hours bell true is in the egyptian capital and we've had to hire is made to court so the country's major courts the constitutional court and the appeals court say they are going to strike because the judges themselves are still on a partial strike the journey syndicates entering so cool for a strike so we're seeing really quite a lot of movement from major sects. is within egypt society and which the president

is really going to have to do with as things escalate on the streets as well face clashes do continue between protesters and the police which started airing last week right down below us right now police are firing excessive amounts of tear gas and by chaunce the dozens of protesters who are still in the streets reporting from the seeing my colleague tom barton has moved here in the streets of central cairo the sights the sounds and the smells of protest and of civil disorder are very loud and very clear to her a square is just over there and a large crowd of protesters are doing stones at the police who are giving just as much back picking up stones themselves and firing back along with them those vans firing gas canisters into the crowds the stench of tear gas is thick in the air the police a protest as everyone i like ace has their eyes and noses who are actually the militia to the gas has made itself cocktails flying through the air as well oh ok

vincit been ripped up as have some of the branches of the trees it's a real street by being joined on the. night in sheets of joy these people absolutely determined to go out to protest is that mohamed morsi was told to be ready to make that declaration that he didn't want to themselves we think was last tuesday we would have to leave that mohamed morsi got to make it democracy in this country but after within five five months of this or since he had more sense starting to run runs this country has said to use despair i'm collecting all of the poems this country to be on his side a lot of this you could hear but i don't know morsi is the president was nowhere close to what occurred. just the first week i think of this problem of having making that possible support of the big wins completely which. since you have to

ration. of congress. members of the constitution and assembly said they could vote on a new constitution in the coming few days after that morsi has promised to shed his newly acquired powers but blogger and journalists while skandha has told me that he thinks he believes that real democracy is a long way off but the fact of the matter is that everything is going in the opposite direction of what the revolution is called for. constituent assembly itself is a reflection of how unwilling to share power in the muslim brotherhood are and along with morsi. he says that he will give back hours as soon as a parliament is elected but he's not allowing you to share in writing the constitution so this to me seems like a false promise about giving back howard because the one thing he can do is allow dipshits to write their own constitution and share power and he's not doing that

the judiciary has have been a tool for the mubarak regime but if we come to think of it when people protested mubarak they were protesting police brutality and we see that morsi is giving promises to the police that they will act with impunity and does not want to bring anyone to justice for the crimes they've done. well you too can share your opinion on what's going on in egypt and what it would eventually lead to by casting a vote here's how the votes allotting up so far over a third of those who voted believe that morsi will cancel his new doors in order to stay in power about one in four say this disturbance will see both the military and allies of its president barack return to power. and we can see there on screen just as many think that further instability will lead to an intervention by western powers as we saw in libya and now the eleven percent say morsi will resign and new elections will take place right now and r.t. dot com. the united nations is preparing to vote on whether palestine. and should

receive member observer status at the organization if approved it would mean international recognition of the palestinian state and give it additional powers such as taking issues to the international criminal court participating in un general assembly debates or the u.s. strongly opposes the bid france has already said it will vote in favor of the resolution it was as an overwhelming support from developing nations spokesperson for the palestine national authority says it's looking like leave the motion will be passed palestine is very optimistic about winning the necessary votes the number of countries that have already co-sponsored the draft resolution surpasses sixty five not mistaken and so the palestinian leadership is pretty certain of success well there isn't a better time to take this step the now after israel's recent most recent assault on the gaza strip all palestinian factions have reached an agreement that this

could this should never happen again while palestinians are divided there is you know a new maty among the palestinian political system in its entirety how months fight the islamic jihad all palestinian factions support this and wanted to succeed and they realize that the agree amongst one another that the priority domestic priority now is for rebuilding and for reinvigorating the democratic institutions of palestine consolidating this reconciliation and moving forward as the state of palestine towards steps on the ground that would reverse the israeli occupation and entrenched independence. the recognition may boost palestinian chances for success of the international criminal court they say they'll turn to the hague if it's proven that late leader yasser arafat was murdered his grave was open on tuesday and samples from his remains connected three teams of international investigators will test them for radioactive substances results are said to be revealed in

a few months the inquiry was launched eight years after arafat's death which was officially caused by stroke following a mysterious illness israel denied palestinian accusations that assassinated arafat saying it had nothing to gain from his demise but you can catch up with more analysis on the timeline of the story at r.t. dot com. a predicament the threat of more sturdy and now fronts us to contend with the tide of homegrown terrorists and the cause of it the french use short of cash opportunities are flocking to radicalism was artie's alexy to show secure a port stop in the trend does not proving easy. a recent national police raid on radical islamist groups in france made headlines with arrests made in all regions the youngest suspected terrorist was only nineteen but it was not the age which shocked so many. we discovered a network of seven additional people living primarily in paris strasburg and can

all these people were born in france and our french nationals they are linked to the radical islamist movement police say the group was plotting at least twenty five terrorist attacks against jewish organizations and schools and age of twelve detainees were french natives who had converted to radical islam and experts say this worrying trend is the other in place as the financial crisis group's europe and many youth are finding themselves out of work if you go and you say you are excluded in the best way to change your life to become immersed in it would not work with the majority of course but did the majority there need to have permanent fruits of people converting economic crisis is deepening it probably creates more exclusion and so more people to requote in the mist in communities or to convert to . islam france is no stranger to combating radical islamist groups since the nineteen fifties it has been countering algerian iranian and lebanese terrorists

and more recently al-qaeda but this expert say is a totally different matter just like most of europe over the years france has grown very successful in reinforcing its borders and preventing most of the threat coming from abroad but with more and more homegrown radical organizations appearing on its soil tracking down possible terrorists with passports would be very hard if not completely impossible security services believe for now the situation is under control as the conversion to radical islam is still relatively rare but no one can guaranteed stays this way as the number of violent. students by french muslims is already on the increase of secret service are really well experiments to fight these gangsterism and they are watching very carefully at the source. of the most cues and all the people who are travelling. radical music but this doesn't mean that the. security specialists claim many arab immigrants living in french

a lovely quiet morning a family jet li sleeps in district heights maryland where fifty armed f.b.i. agents stormed the house guns drawn despite the family pleading that they were unarmed the law enforcement agents opened fire on a weaponless teenager my asian huli thankfully sholay suffered minor flesh wounds but the key issue is that it remains unknown as to why the house was stormed so here in america for no reason guys and black you. storm someone's house a loaded some rounds and left with no justification or explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is remaining silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house you're storming or why you're storming it then maybe you should lay off the

actually allowed to express the opinions that they're actually hold also worried about the kind of people who are getting these convictions often they are people with political views and it is a very bad thing when people start to be told that they can say things because their political views are offending others the law used to convict most social media offenses was drafted before twitter and facebook were even conceived it was meant to protect individuals from being harassed or threatened over the telephone and free speach. advocates question how that relates to posting your opinion online the trouble is that when things are post on things like twitter and facebook is that they're there for all to see and for people to share and see the deafening becomes an element of mob rule and then pressure is put on the police forces to act on that rather than abiding to the legal system that we currently have teenager matthew woods found out all about more brule after making offensive tweets about a missing five year old girl an angry crowd gathered outside his house and he was

social club a pro-government group pushing for reforms things these blasts being used to shift the balance of the civil war they have all sorts of objectives first of all obviously to give the illusion or to to give the sense of the feeling that the government is not in control in the hope that people would start losing support we know that the theory has been from the very beginning that the people are afraid of the government and honestly feel the government strong grip is slipping they would immediately shift sides of the streets yet to happen and people are still in support or there is enough people who support of the governor to prevented from falling so yes this is a civil war tactic in a sense. while some western countries are pick sides in the syrian conflict iran is pushing hard for a negotiated solution what is more of a notion takes a look at the east an alternative to the european way of bringing peace to damascus
