watch r t any time. eleven pm here in moscow in tahrir square meantime it erupts in fresh protests following the russian parliamentary approval of a new draft constitution which opponents say strengthens islamic law and betrays the revolution got the latest from there tonight. also berlin is reluctant helping hand germany approves a massive new aid package for indebted greece for taxpayers to cry to squash the billions. and the arab spring encroaches on kuwait truth be staunch western ally witnessing mass protests against iraq in the early morning. hello i'm kevin zero in this is our top story angry protests once again ignited in

the center of cairo after a new draft constitution was rushed through the muslim dominated lawmaker assembly there the documents based on sharia law and opposition activists say it's a betrayal therefore of the revolutions ideals journalists truce in the egyptian capital this still tens of thousands of people on the streets behind me here are pennies in this constitution what they say is that applies to all the drafted by islamist dominated assembly it doesn't represent egypt on top of that it's of course is the sharia law and i've been to it although the initial wording is actually similar to the seventy one constitution the problem is that other articles defining sorry and even open to all true conservative interpretation in addition to that thank you and rights watch actually. had a report today that highlighted the problems of women's rights within the constitution in addition there are articles saying things like you cannot insult an individual which can be widely interpreted and misused and of course so. the main

issues is a military trials to civilians this is a practice is illegal under international law and when the subject of many campaigns by revolutionary forces and he's allowed in the constitution we expect the constitution to be handed to the president today and a referendum in the next few weeks but with this continuing disturbance on the streets and more protests are expected really we're not sure how to shop at befriend them to go ahead certainly on to create today the challenge that i heard were against the constitution they were also against president morsi power grab last week when he made this contentious constitution that duration which basically awarded him supremes power is really people are saying they don't want this constitution they want morsi actually to leave at this point in addition only on the outskirts of the square there are still ongoing clashes between protesters and police which have largely died down right now however my colleague tom bosley has been on the scene today to see the effects on the city of these ongoing violence. after days of around the clock protests

a cleanup operation is going on here in the streets of tahrir square there's a lot of debris to be cleared up from there was stones that were being ripped up from the pavements and thrown at the police this building here at the tree the branches ripped off the trees and fires were started here by groups of largely young male protesters not representative of the overall movement but a spillover that caused a lot of violence in the streets around tougher square the police built this hastily to stop the protesters getting further down we couldn't get anywhere near here throughout the days and nights of constant protest such was the thick clouds of tear gas and the throwing stones understood the fires being lit in buildings many casualties on both sides being dragged away choking on the take gas with injuries from flying stones a number of protesters have died and many. many have been wounded in protests

around egypt over the past few days big protests planned in the coming days it's very much not the end of the story here and it may not be the end of the violence that we've seen in these protests. have mitigated from the egyptian current party spoke to says if the new constitution does get through the referendum it would even further cement the islamist group. if it gets a popular vote that means it's more or less the constitution that we would have told there's another critical mass that would allow for an amendment however there's no mechanism to propose an amendment to the constitution after it passes through the referendum which means there has to be enough change within parliament and the hands of the non is slamming parties so that they can propose such a change which seems to be

a questionable with how the parliament of the previous parliament was constantly construed forty three percent of the muslim brotherhood and twenty seven percent of the salafist so even if there is a significant changes and you have a fifty fifty percent parliament. that still seems to be questionable that you would have such a change. was growing unrest in egypt as well as protests in libya and tunisia many analysts and questioning just how much change the arab spring has brought to these countries results he's going to teach you can found there are fears that instead of a better or brighter tomorrow these nations could actually be sliding towards a darker future. less than two years after the gyptian people ousted hosni mubarak mohamed morsi granted himself even more power than his predecessor head to the special the kray president morsi make sure that no court can challenge his decisions. the president's power grab brought hundreds of thousands of

egyptians onto the street with a shared sense that their aspirations were being betrayed. unfortunately replace the corrupt regime of mubarak with a regime that is more strict and violent the draft version of egypt's new constitution inserts new islamic references into the country's system of government and keeps in place an article defining the principles of korea as the main source of legislation when they're not in power there are moderates. in the united states and washington the various islamic organizations that dominate in the us but when they come into power they put a lot grip on power it is socially establish an islamic dictatorship. the sense of betrayal and disappointment has not left this week so tunisia the first country to witness an arab spring uprising unemployment there skyrocketed in

the wake of the revolution and is now at eighteen percent. our demands are the same as those that have been made during the revolution we want jobs development in the region and the equitable sharing of wealth we also demand the dismissal of the governor who has done nothing for this region but it's comprised the development here. as the arab spring unfolded less than two years ago the obama administration jumped on the bandwagon of the revolutions hoping to forge better alliances with the new leaders. in libya the u.s. prompted the change with airstrikes and arms supplies. we've seen policymakers here in washington trying very hard to present the arab spring as a success story up until september washington had the revolution in libya check as a foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the firepower which led to the capture and the killing of moammar

gadhafi only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador there did leave you come back into the spotlight and the chaos that we see there now flies in the face of that success story narrative protests frequently disrupt operations at the main oil refinery in western libya while the new government in libya has little or no control over the numerous militia groups the civil war has left the country shredded. with radical islamic taking advantage of the chaos so many in the post-revolutionary north african countries despair and violence have replaced the hopes of the arab spring in washington i'm going to check out. for more on the unrest in egypt his background as well as what the development of spring we've had to a website called more there about it for you. when collective sighs of relief in athens today is german lawmakers opposed to a massive new aid package for the indebted nation aside from releasing greeks more

cash and also slashes interest rates delays payments and even pushes back deadlines but it's not his paper all of the reports those footing the bill. we'll be giving more financial aid towards greece we saw m.p.'s voting with four hundred seventy three saying yes to this aid package one hundred saying no and eleven abstentions now what this does mean no and it's been talked about throughout the week is in next year alone it could cost germany over seven hundred million euros but we are seeing the politicians at least giving their support financial support towards greece however that support isn't being particularly backed up by some of the electorate here people on the streets of germany suggesting that perhaps greece should be left to its own devices if that is enough because we won't see this money ever again. and right at some point it should be stopped it's high time they were

capable of helping themselves we're ok for now but sunday we could also go to broker there's arlen specter north to vice is all used to be an english we've already given at least so much more on the issue started already a lot going on on one of the stars and there's nothing more is mine and i don't think that talking with them well they were people speaking just outside of the reichstag but that seems to be reflected across the country a recent poll taken by a german television station says that forty six percent of germans want to see greece left to default left up to its own devices however the politicians in here in germany have voted through this next round of financial aid but it wasn't smooth sailing we saw a very confident looking angle a merkel posting her vote but that belies some rumblings of revolt within her own party and own coalition the worst people saying that no no we are just going to rubber stamp any things put before us you've got to prove that this is in the best interests of germany of course all of this coming

around as we enter what will be the campaigning season ahead of a general election here in germany next year so it does seem that the german politicians at least are on the side of and. merkel and trying to give more financial aid to greece so that is the increasing amounts of the electorate who seem to be suggesting they should be cut loose peter oliver in berlin online no abuse in detention for the american soldier accused of revealing the military's crimes will supply of bradley manning are speaking out for the first time about the brutal mistry as you're saying it was subjected to in prison and also online as well big question we ask is there life in the solar system smallest planet will nasa scientists believe me maybe they claim that they discovered water of mercury. and from the rest of the sun's support service more than two at r.t. dot com. not a good day for the emir of kuwait as tens of thousands of people protested a recent decree of his to limit voting power as islamist liberals and demonstrators

from all walks of the political spectrum rallied in the capital denouncing what they see is rampant corruption the ruling monarchy loosely caffein aspirin following the rally. this is the heart of kuwait simmering opposition movements for thousands gathered in the streets to protest what they see as not the proposition at the top of the suppression of the rule of law as well as increasing clampdown on dissent it's not unlike the cold mission of news groups liberals as well as hard line islamists would all join together in photos of the manchurian like show and many people in this country now feel the political system no longer represents them which is why they're calling on people not to take on saturday and not participate and could count on coming saturday. and still a camel to. be friendly lawmakers which isn't necessarily a good thing for the stability of a country which has been a change from one political crisis to the next over the past few years most. people

. on. both forms. do you think ok we can see you know a really good and. he. became increasingly violent clashes in the streets between the opposition and you're in for some sort of teasing tear gas stun grenades as well as somebody bullets in order to disperse the rallies effectively more fears about a clampdown on dissent many activists are still going out either against the new or the government arrested for their comments the crisis was sparked by early or this year when kuwait stopped before it had an old separates parliamentary election results which would give an islamist a majority support and reinstated the previous assembly which was perceived as being tied to the ruling family what's more the electoral laws were changed in this country in such a way that many people who have gathered in the streets they feel that it is

impossible for the opposition to win a victory in saturday's election which is why so many people are calling another kuwaitis to boycott the vote and we know that the western countries will be watching. what happens in full weight point firstly as an opec member any sort of under arrest on the ground in this country is down to that group prices as well as the pentagon's plans to use the small well rich nation as a hub for its ground forces and to answer what it perceives as a threat by iran but the point during the week is they really feel like they're stuck in the middle they don't necessarily feel that the government who represents their medical interests or the certainly from these were just oppositional to protect their social liberties but nothing shows a power is like this one show that the ducks were well alone isn't enough to inflate the country's from people taking to the streets and demanding a greater stake in their political system. all the way are now to tonight is the nobel laureates versus the e.u. why from us why some of those who've received the prestigious peace prize

themselves in the past know want to strip the you need to be. israel of us square to the world as the displaced by this time successively to end the war in two thirds of countries gave the go ahead to the states just a couple of stories after this break. a lovely quiet morning a family gently sleeps in district heights maryland when 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 in black uniforms storm someone's house all

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. no 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 siege for a while you know what take a few minutes to think it over have a cup of coffee and maybe even do a little google search about the fourth amendment but that's just my opinion. admission free critique ation free in-store charge is free to make humans free risk free studio time free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects

letter they said that the twenty seven nation blocks getting this award contradicts the valleys associated with the pricing what they want to see happening is the one twenty million dollar prize money not be awarded this year and they also said that the clearly not one of the champions of peace a consensus here amongst the signature even indeed among many many people when this award was announced this year was that really the awarding of the five year opinion in not in the keeping of the spirit of the nobel peace prize being a far from a peaceful place and you personally yourself have covered stories of protests in the rest of cross the e.u. over the last few years so how did they decide to award the peace prize to the e.u. what were you thinking about the prize was awarded at a time when the e.u. if they think the biggest crisis it's face since its creation we're seeing huge it's a shell of a rest and you know what a lot of people are saying is that the european union at the moment really for

a lot of people. come to represent divisions within society we've seen those divisions between the rich and the plot poor between those who employ this around employed you know the people that we've spoken to in these countries really feel very very let down the vision of the european union with about peace and democracy and that's certainly not what people feel that they're getting now the committee praised the for voting after the second world war and spreading stability to former communist countries promoting peace and stability within the e.u. you know it's not all bad the e.u. does provide a huge amount of aid a nation but i think what we seeing happening in the e.u. in the last year really has been very far from the idea of you know a peaceful union not first on the nobel committee is a right a controversial decision. as you know ninety thousand and nine we saw a war did see president obama many people feeling that was being awarded the peace activity. he might do at some point in the feature again very much not in keeping

with the what we are talking about she calls the reactions that they're writing to this latest piece of information about it being contested we had at any p.j. a battle say it's highly tedious for the even fulfill the rules under which the award should be given i mean really vary from reaction to calls see that price being awarded see as if that may have been a project that many people feel represents the total opposite. sarah ferguson of a team in london and to some other world news briefings starting off with syria must warn you though the video but to see the extremely graphic. syrian rebels reportedly uploaded this showing the execution of ten armed prisoners lying face down on the ground and seeing. some of whom are being tortured pleading for their lives again we can't show the video it's just too graphic but meantime in aleppo a government airstrike is reported to have hit three residential buildings in the neighborhood controlled by insurgents of pro rebel group says at least fifty

civilians were killed in that strike including women and children. the rail bridges collapse in new jersey said the two tankers loaded with hazardous chemicals into a keyboard away vinyl chloride which is highly toxic and flowable leaked into the creek which feeds a major delaware river the nearby area was evacuated more than a dozen people have been treated for breast retrieve problems authorities though say the danger to public health from the environment is minimal. unfortunate counterproductive that's how washington describes the u.n. general assembly is a story vote despite more than two thirds of the world saying yes to palestine's bid for statehood israel's prime minister called the move meaningless and will the palestinian people the driver bring no change to their lives more from artie's paullus leader than intel of eve. these ladies certainly are downplaying the significance of this vote although we have seen them would use the kind of rhetoric that they've been after enough for the past few weeks and months so they're no longer issuing the same kinds of threats that they were before presumably because

they understand that this will only further isolate them in the international community the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly said that this vote does not change the reality on the ground the israeli position is that it is a unilateral step by the palestinians they accuse the resolution of being one sided both the united states and israel saying that it's not going to change the reality on the ground in this despite the fact that we're hearing in some quarters in the international community and certainly from palestinians themselves that it is a significant step at the same time there is a concern of course within this well that the palestinians will now use the new status to go for example to the international criminal court in the hague where they can accuse israel of alleged crimes and of course these kind of threats in the past has prevented some israeli lawmakers as well as military leaders who are traveling abroad because they're all concerned that could be a wasted over such issues the united states through its unflinching support for

israel has alienated a lot of its old time allies in the united nations susan rice the american ambassador to the united nations after slamming the vote again reiterated the american position that it will not change anything on the ground today grand pronouncements. and the palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed today's vote should not be misconstrued by any as constituting eligibility for u.n. membership it does not this resolution does not establish that power stein is a state and yet talking to the average israeli on the street largely the response here is muted most israelis i've been talking to are actually by and large ignoring this fundamental and historic occasion which is a far cry from the kind of reaction we witnessing on the streets in palestine oh yes jubilant palestinians have been celebrating

a sort of recognition after the un overwhelmingly brought the misstep closer to an independent state activist in filmmaker harry fear explains why the vote was so crucial for them. well this is this there's increased recognition this increase in stages in the united nations is a manifestation of increased world international solidarity with the palestinian situation and this will actually bring hopefully a manifest improvement for the palestinians in respect of their access to international law and their ability to have the rule of law applied to their relationship with the state of israel so here in gaza where we just witnessed an israeli military operation exacted on the gaza strip in which fifty nine children were killed seventeen babies were killed palestinians are hoping that this increase in legal status will deter. a another on the sort of like that in which kind of syrians believe that the problem of facing war crimes committed against the population here in gaza in the west bank they have

a situation not with such sort of military violence but they have on the ground direct military occupation they have according to palestinians in palestinian terminology and their legal colonise ation process with illegal settlements being built so that what the hope is both bits of palestine that is left there will be some practical improvement albeit a small one for them and for their lives harry fear will the story you invoke to the prospects for peace are also topics up for fears to both of the most edition of crosstalk you want to see that i can tell it's coming your way shortly after this break. the sun rises over what seems like em most forest here in the new directions five hundred kilometers north of light of our stop and in much of the world it's

disappearing at a catastrophic rate. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy longer set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is a lie out according to law and not a single berry can be picked but longer like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy the

forests. in our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some morning has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human dramatics and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that twelve tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer . but this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the region and the

w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now . here for more of forest legislation so since two thousand so in regards and your forest quote and according to close up in your loaf every for us that's sort of the guy's mission waltham in the in the forest to the still exists forest courts still doesn't work just you. know do it because no one tries to stop them in just five years the forest will be gone they'll sell it all to china and what will the people who live afterwards do like it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature.
