3:02 pm
the muslim brotherhood and pro morsi supporters in a running battle that has escalated as more protesters arrive from both sides in the end both the sheer weight of numbers of mohamed morsy supporters pushed the opposition protesters back into some of the nearby streets where a ferocious battle is in stewing involving crowds throwing stones over a over a short distance between the two crowds an absolute hail of stones flying between the two sides there also molotov cocktails between the two sides both sides chanting and busily tearing up the pavement to provide themselves with more ammunition we arrived to see absolute scene of pandemonium some of the the shopfronts nearby had been set on fire the nearby film intricacy been filming on
3:03 pm
top of some cars that were just trying to drive the cars through the crowds to get out as fast as they could because they hadn't been able to respond before the violence had swept over them as well the first police car we've just seen a few minutes ago passed by we're not quite sure whether that was to try and break things up until then for hours. now there has been absolutely no police involvement at all this situation has really deteriorated quite fast injuries streaming back from both sides with head and other injuries from the flying stones and this is this political divisions written large and written violently on the streets of cairo. tom barton speaking to me a little earlier and earlier i also spoke to blogger and journalist while the who said the situation in colorado is likely to get even with us i'm on the. side and what i can see is that they're being treated the way we.
3:04 pm
blank and we heard also. what sounded like live ammo are there is no prizes. for military or all right what can be gotten. you can hear. president morsi our new vice president are making news. right here and that i'm very even though you want to embrace one more there are muslim brotherhood for starters so i don't know if issue a response. to an afternoon right now. well we're following the developments in egypt on air and online for the latest updates had to altie dot com and also check out all twitter feeds. the u.s. is preparing to send patriot missiles to turkey after nato approved the plan to defend itself against potential missile attacks from inside syria and america is also pressuring iraq to search syria planes for weapons even demolishing it grounds passing jets that baghdad isn't enthusiastic as reports.
3:05 pm
as the syrian government struggles to stay in power fighting against rebels backed by the west america is also attempting to suffocate the alleged weapons flying into damascus washington accuses iran of being the key arms supplier to assad forces and to stop the transfer the u.s. is now reportedly demanding that baghdad inspect planes flying from iran over its airspace into syria. this is just one more amazing thing is. that they can control flights over countries in force. force and. by doing so the us has created something of a paradox forcing iraq to prevent iran from dealing with syria by bringing up this
3:06 pm
issue of so-called weapons supplied to just another way to pressure the baghdad regime united states feels that since it invested blood and treasure in terms of overthrowing saddam hussein that it has the right if not the obligation to then order the internal affairs of the baghdad regime obviously. objects to this kind of approach and i daresay that the iraqi people object to that approach as well i named u.s. officials have complained that baghdad is not doing enough to cooperate with washington's demands since september iraq has only managed to allegedly inspect two iranian planes baghdad does not have an air force and grounding planes is proving too costly as they must be refueled after each check recently iraq made it clear that it is not willing to march to the beat of america's drum in an interview with the new york times iraq's minister of transportation said quote we are an independent country and our stance is clear we will search whichever plane we want
3:07 pm
whenever we want we will not take orders and i think. our most countries doing it in a sanctions or ill treatment of the american government so the. shah of iran. don't feel the same water why should nearly one decade after saddam hussein was ousted by the u.s. led invasion into iraq washington is pressuring a new governor of the very same country to help move the leader of a different one as americans continue supporting syria's opposition in part by police in iran iraq for its all to march in lock step with borders has pretty the something of a middle east lying all the white house may not be able to navigate bring up or not artsy me or. britain is facing at least five more years of a sturdy the country's finance minister says there's no miracle cure for the
3:08 pm
country's economy the highly anticipated orton statement by george osborne brought little relief for a public already angered by government cuts not the sort of first reports now from london where everyone now madly picking their way through either but i don't think it is and while we're there a lot of thinking is one thing that was very very clear and that's that the u.k. is set to face even more authority now what those figures say this was that the u.k. economy is going to shrink by not point one percent by the end of twenty twelve now it sounds like a small amount but of course no sign of that all importing cooperate in fact what we've seen is that borrowing has gone we think that that has risen and fallen and most crucially i think it's probably the fact that the government had no reduction target so we're now facing an extended austerity program as they say it's right away three to twenty eighteen say for me gloomy out and this is what we are very basic a course that's going to really knock people millions of families all across the
3:09 pm
again one thing here and of course this is really going to feed. real. well for more analysis on george osborne speech on the u.k.'s financial woes i'm joined by georgie's and he's editor of the political blog politics blog i should say for britain's new statesman magazine now the choice of the says the country is on the right track to recovery is right is neat. no i think yes all this the economy is cost to shrink this year. a deficit that was originally due to last five years is now due to last eight years and we now know that debts will be higher as a share of g.d.p. by the end of the parliament than it was at stopping that result of policies. by the kurdish government which. tightened policy to foster and that
3:10 pm
has resulted in lower growth and high authority he would claim of course this is a policy that was pursued by blair and brown and the previous labor government this is the legacy that they have left behind creating such a massive debt in the first place oh look of course it's true that there had to be some spending cuts they have to be done in balance measured way that doesn't. hurt the economy more than necessary and. the last thing that you should do in times of economic weakness is to comic spending at such a fast rate because when consumers aren't spending because that. column when business is the hoarding cash it's actually the government that has that has to spend to get growth going and if you don't have growth then you weren't reduce your definitely doing that george five billion pounds on building projects been in the. planning to spend billions on infrastructure projects including road rail and cheap
3:11 pm
expansion that's what he's doing isn't it creating growth that yes i thought that was welcome but five billion it's pretty small bear i'm afraid the government. has not really come out with i would say the growth strategy that's that's needed and i think that the institute for fiscal studies has estimated that that five billion will increase. maybe buy point two percent say yeah so this states one person's already suffered a double dip recession i'm afraid much more is required to get the kind of growth that we need to ensure that everyone can so much more is required where does the money come from you know i'm a layman on all of this but where does that money come from when the country is in so much debt you're saying well more money needs to be spent well fortunately britain is in a position where partly because we have our own currency body because we have our
3:12 pm
monetary policies of the bank of england that's been able to cause interest rates and government debts through what's known as easing we can afford to borrow at very low rates and what the government should be doing state you know that spend on infrastructure projects to contacts is so far and has been going up because fadia payments have been higher unemployment has influence quickly as it should have done a government that actually came out with. and borrowed more in the short one see borrowing for quicker in the long time because the economy would actually would actually grow and it's not growing this year also quick to blame what's going on in the eurozone doesn't that seriously have a major impact on the u.k. economy of course it does of course it does but look britain is one of only two g twenty countries stuff that is up with it especially. we in fact went back into recession before your eyes and ears so it's rather misleading the chance of all the
3:13 pm
blame on the eurozone but yes of course it doesn't help and. he has been in. all of the one of the major european countries because at the same time there's no one's act as a buyer and no one can. have an export led recovery and that's. tragic why do you think that george osborne the. recognize that when we see these austerity measures being pursued in the e.u. clearly not working in the eurozone i should say and clearly having a devastating impact particularly on the social and political level. because it's a matter of the school pride in some respects that was born always maintained that the most important thing was to get debt down and that would lead to growth and he's not willing not willing to back down and and he believes actually that you will be vindicated in time by the time the election i do think he won't be as
3:14 pm
original i was to go into the election saying i've cleared the deficit i've cleaned up the mess in fact now whichever party wins next election whether it's they will the concept is it's going to inherit it's a new best almost. to have to write sort of dropped about five more years of a stir you know the british public put up with this bearing in mind what we're seeing happening in greece spain italy protests. i think i think actually they probably will i think because i think that's a good chance that. counts the conservatives on the next election i don't think you'll see a big big you necessarily but it's i think given how bad things are where people actually quite stoically accept that unfortunately little or no growth is the new normal but we shouldn't be fatalistic about this you don't think we'll see that there's a social unrest particular scene in greece even if some analysts talking about some sort of revolution perhaps could be under way though you you wouldn't see anger
3:15 pm
building over the next few years if the british public are subjected to such strong measures i think you will see some you will see this it will protest on the streets but i think the difference with greece and europe isn't is that. he is being imposed on them by unelected bureaucrats here at least. an elected government that is pursuing these policies but that's only. highlight the fact that here was a voluntary match it wasn't forced them up by the ear and that's about a tragedy that didn't have to we didn't have to follow that course we could have but you'd like the us for rights the much more about strategy george great to talk to you thanks so much for your perspective on this george editor of politics blog for britain's new statesman magazine joining me live in london much appreciate it. turkish troops and helicopters of pounded the kurdish area near the border with syria killing thirteen suspected militants the crisis in syria is being seen as
3:16 pm
a chance for kurdish aspirations for independence and statehood and whether the turks are actually shooting themselves in the foot by supporting the syrian uprising is the subject for debate in the latest cross talk and i'll be coming up in the next hour fee with to deliver and we've got more news for you here in r.t. that's after a short break stay with us. a forty nine year old southern california man was rolled in president charles with possessing materials to make explosive device all because of his rather unusual wristwatch despite the bomb squad saying that his watch was not a weapon here waited custody for twenty four hours and was charged with the crime anyways a spokesman for the el meter county sheriff's department said that the man's watch had all the components to make an improvised explosive device minus the explosive
3:17 pm
material you know having a lighter in your pocket is also everything you need to self exposure minus the gun powder but before we make a victim out of this watch where i have to point out one thing the watch she was wearing was designed to look like some sort of bomb with fuses and wires and switches so who's more idiotic someone who wears a device that looks like a bomb on an airplane or a government who can fix someone for having the components of a bomb without that bit of the bomb that makes a blow up i'd say both are pretty dumb but that's just my opinion. wolf to the. audience technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
