1:00 pm
here moscow time are two reporting tonight on kuwait boy code collective widespread anger at a poll they used was little position it says is rigged in support of the u.s. . polls so it egypt's president morsi supporters away in the rival rallies of me thank you we can see so from the post and the constitution is out it's a draft. israel's called on by the world to call all new settlement building in the west bank in east jerusalem just a day the u.n. a great stunt diplomatic status. hello and good to have you with us because
1:01 pm
a mislaid opas issue kuwait's boycotted saturday's parliamentary ballot in a bit of standoff with the country's own elected leaders the u.s. but monarchies accused of amending the voting rules to influence the outcome of the poll for most in the gulf states with the latest for you kuwait maybe a tiny nation but it's a regional influence as well as its strategic importance to the west is immense absolutely immense as an opec member anything any sort of unrest that happens on the ground here could have potential impact on the world oil market as well as global oil prices as well as the pentagon's plans to use this tiny nation as a hub for its ground forces as a counterweight to iran now kuwait already holds three american military bases and folks in washington are talking about increasing the troop presence here especially in light of the withdrawal of troops from iraq and the looming withdrawal from afghanistan now holds have officially close here in kuwait and while we won't know the results for a few more hours the opposition is already. a victory here saying that the boycott
1:02 pm
was success that voter turnout was low and that the parliament therefore is illegitimate now what this means is this could spark further on rest on the streets on the ground here in kuwait as people are quite frustrated with the developments in the political system on one hand this country is considered to be one of the most democratic and liberal and sort of open minded compared to the other gulf monarchies but at the same time the unelected ruling emir has the power to veto legislation to dissolve the parliament which is what has taken place four times since two thousand and six as well as effectively there's been a ban on political parties and gatherings of more than twenty people are banned and so the worry here is that while kuwaitis do generally enjoy more rights than residents of other gulf states that there is a trend towards effective oppression here on the ground and a move away towards democratic does ation and this is of course all happening as the gulf countries are struggling to deal with the effects of the arab spring
1:03 pm
hoping to stave it off from taking place on the ground now what we've heard from the opposition already actually in fact we have spoken to a rock who on twitter he's leading opposition figure on twitter he had already said the kuwaiti people have succeeded in bringing down the selection by not taking part we sat down with him and i want to play you a little bit of what he had to say about the political problem here. i have a problem is that the government doesn't need neither the constitution nor democracy and they always start to talk about dialogue whenever they need a temporary alternative but in practice they are defying democracy the main problem is that since one thousand nine hundred seventy six the development of kuwait has stopped because the government started thinking of how to change the constitution and get rid of it the growth of the country has stopped and the government is unable to change the constitution or to continue with the development process as a result the situation has got to where it is now. and so what he's referring to is effectively what people feel is a corruption at the top
1:04 pm
a lack of economic development despite the massive oil wealth of this country both as well as what people feel a subversion of the political system and as i said while there is more media freedom and sort of political freedom relative to other countries here we have seen activists arrested for speaking out negatively against the ruling family and the policies here and we've also seen crackdowns on public gatherings and sanctions protests with the security forces using tear gas stun grenades as well as rubber bullets so the fear here is that the country could be moving away from liberal policies and from theoretical democracy. to see cuffe an awful meantime in egypt thousands of businesses rallying in support of the president while the opposition continues to demonstrate against him mohamed morsi initially sparked public fury of the grubber himself supreme powers and now the draft constitution is political as approved has also come under fire is out he's told by reports from cairo. protesters have been camped out in tahrir square since last week since egyptian
1:05 pm
president mohamed morsi if you decree granting himself sweeping new powers that kicks off a wave of protests by the more liberal sections of egyptian society not just here in cairo but in cities across the country some of those spilling over into violent protests we're seeing take gas thrown and stone exchanges between the protesters and police a number of protesters have died hundreds more have been wounded across the country in those protests because of it the roots of it a constitutional crisis here not what people in visit when they have their revolution nearly two years ago the overthrow of hosni mubarak last week after this declaration how much more see the current president backed by the muslim brotherhood said that the reason for that was to try and get a new constitution last in a process that dragged out for a long time for egypt's however the constituent assembly that drafted that is
1:06 pm
dominated by the muslim brotherhood many other representatives of more liberal representatives coptic christians and other groups that have withdrawn from that assembly in protest so there is the fear that that new constitution which has just recently been drafted is too islamist ad is to religiously conservative doesn't make enough provisions to protect minorities in egypt and society mohamed morsi for his part ses he went to compromise he wants to protect the revolution and today it is the chance of his supporters he is supported by large sections of the egyptian population and he did win the presidential election these protests will continue here in tahrir square as well and we have this shows that the constitutional crisis and the battle to try and get egypt's revolution on the right track. on a track that egyptians can agree on is far from over. tom barton for the well
1:07 pm
current political sociologist side said they told us egyptians know better than to trust leaders who soon so called temporary sweeping powers. nor any of that. in the world. will tell you it is a temporary thing if there's full emergency call does the same same thing city use of war under president obama and we stayed under emergency law for sixteen years and it was all the syria excuse at the simpering it was a short period egyptian people in two thousand and twelve are not the egyptian people in two thousand and ten didn't have change there was a political culture that has changed a lodging such like social networks and strong you cannot lie to them and you do not trust this group also defined that the muslim brotherhood looks to be a part of the by the united states and if it succeeds in egypt it would see that all the arabs who go to this and americans will be able to establish an islamic.

1:09 pm
a cheese they solution and if we're serious about meeting towards that there there's no way that this film ever said. some of the clinching can be seen as in any way a move towards getting back on the table and moving towards the peace talks that desperately need in the latest upsurge in violence. we've seen documented. indiscriminate attacks they fail to distinguish between combatant and civilian in the same way that hamas rocket attacks very clearly are aimed at civilians which is a violation of international humanitarian law in the sense target civilian. indiscriminate nature of. our way for a two state solution perhaps we've ever been before but only by building on the international consensus that we've got that israel and even the united states are further away from can we hope to move towards. long lasting peace on. the

backing of the free syrian army terrorist groups the leaders of our western countries particularly nato countries or encouraging the syrian terrorist rebels guerrillas whatever you want to call them to really accelerate the bloodbath in that country because in the eyes of washington and london the bigger the blood's out the quicker they can have reaching change just a report just came out this week with a supplying satellite units to rebels rebel groups terrorist groups essentially in syria so they can communicate while the internet is down to their country there was a niche initially sold in the media in places like the washington post as a move by the assad government possibly to shut down rebel communications but actually upon further investigation it looks like it's possible that actually the combination of the united states operatives and the syrian rebels could actually be

1:22 pm
people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know they're innocent if you run a government and you live or you run a business this is a a business and you lead everyone from your employees to the person who's the janitor know everything about your business something's going to come back and haunt you and so maybe you shouldn't do anything that would haunt you. if. you have a good point knowledge is power right so we found out some information so that's a positive thing but i don't know if it's changed anything you don't think it's changed the way the government might act i think if they broke through some sort of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think i it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there is money power involved i don't think anything's

going to change the information has since the printing of good will burke in the fourteenth century. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protested that the government is using the internet to spy on us. well i want to spy on each other just look at today just to minutes ago syria just closing the internet so is that a government the i think of the government supposedly the what america is the world is ultimately is going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks has changed the world the bottom line is governments might now feel like they have their own big brother watching and hopefully that's a good thing. a complete change attack kono shortly on the program after the break russian cossacks re-enact a historic and perilous march towards congress to. select
