around the world on screen online international news and comment live from. the egyptian army has cleared protesters from around the area in the presidential palace clashes between rival demonstrations that took place there overnight left at least seven dead and hundreds injured tanks were brought in the supporters and opponents of president morsy forty each other into the early morning. report a belt crew is outside the presidential palace. but as you can probably see behind me there are hundreds gathered here as marches converge outside the presidential palace who were calling for the end of morsi and the every singing his constitutional declaration be seen a reaction on an official level in quite a big manner for example we had at least six of most aides resigned over the violence in addition to the heads of the state television and radio he was signed saying that he didn't believe the country should be managed in this way so really you know we've got we still got ongoing strikes by the judges in fact the heads of

the referendum committee he's supposed to be managing this referendum that will that we will see next week for the constitution he also quit in protest against the behavior of the missing brotherhood organization but you know as we saw these really very violent clashes yesterday my colleague tom barton was on the streets of cairo he has his reports you know things have got out of hand when the army has to be called in well here near the presidential palace in cairo tanks are indeed on the streets the army are reinforcing the barricades here i am to mohamed morsi protesters chanting after immensely violent protests broke out yesterday for many hours a jewel of flying stones and shoot with the two sides firing fireworks into each other's ranks as it were throwing molotov cocktails and natural bombs lighting cars and shop fronts hundreds of people injured reports of deaths as well because

of all those flying stones. the ambulances having to work overtime and yesterday the police and the army nowhere to be nowhere in sight yesterday nowhere to be seen trying to break up those crowds of angry protesters and immensely violent situation on a degeneration of the political situation here with a constitutional standoff between mohamed morsi and his muslim brotherhood politicians on warms. right and the country's top judges on the opposition all the other opposition supporters calling morsi a new photo or pharaoh and they're saying that he should at the very least remove the extra powers that he gave himself the other week and probably now is calling as they did two years ago against mubarak for the downfall of the regime that's why the army here that's why they're reinforcing the barricades and trying to maintain order but the fear is that that political situation will manifest itself in

more violence on the streets of cairo. developments in cairo and he's sharing the latest updates via his twitter feed and in one of his most recent posts he says that despite the presence of soldiers and ahmed vehicles there is concern it will be enough to prevent more clashes the c.v. and get more updates by checking. underscore. the u.s. defense secretary says washington has serious concerns the syrian government is thinking of using chemical weapons against the rebels the u.s. indicated this week it could intervene in the syrian conflict if those arms are used in american media is also whipped up the frenzy quoting unnamed officials as saying the syrian chemical arms are ready for use middle east correspondent is following the developments these rumors are verified as if they are just allegations what they do suggest is that syria's military has been mixing chemical

weapons and noting them into the allegations suggest that the syrian president bashar assad is reportedly planning to use these on his own people this comes as the u.s. military is making contingency plans should be soon facing the stylist siding with the u.s. forces saying that they are aware that assad has received numerous asylum offers the same time the united states has the quarter he deployed the u.s. eisenhower's start strike which went through the suez canal from the persian gulf over the weekend and we under. stand according to reports that it is making its way to the syrian coast and it has been throughout this week now what this does indicate this latest development is that the united states now stands ready for direct military intervention in the syrian conflict so that is what we're hearing from various sources and they have following the story closely there is at the same time some evidence emerging that rebel fighters might be allegedly planning some kind of chemical attack on syrian president bashar assad's supporters there is

a video that has been posted online on thursday now it does show what is thought to be a rebel fighter feeding chemical weaponry to babbitts and within a minute those rabbits die we will not show you how they died because the video is disturbing this is in fact what the video has to say. least two rabbits you enemies of our law do you believe. in with our chemical and biological weapons look for yourselves to see these rabbets they inhaled chemical weapons for one minute only and. your destiny will be like them because you are supporters of bashar al assad god is great god is great way to see we are from the our real sons battalion we will kill you with our chemical weapons. the video has not been verified this is an important point to make but certainly the message it sends out is ominous. washington says president assad could result to using chemical weapons

out of despair as his government is on the verge of collapse but dr mohammed i spoke to a little earlier he's the editor in chief of the syria tribune magazine believes these concerns are exaggerated they have been saying for the past drug. use so far . as. the syrian army is going to work. out the. damascus airport basle not that we could go. again and again why would. i give a pretext for the us to intervene why it doesn't even mean it's all the syria has something that is scary it's. the idea is this thing was built and. to face the massive nuclear power nuclear bomb power that is very happy and it works of this it made it bringing out. the syrian conflict again spills over into

lebanon head to our team on com for more on why splits between those for and against syria's president and causing cross border violence which has already claimed four lives. the u.s. senate has approved legislation that imposes sanctions on high ranking russian officials who washington accuses of human rights violations it links them to the abuse of lawyer said again magnitsky died in a russian jail three years ago paradoxically in the same legislation the us removed decades old trade restrictions. has more on the double act. what does come out of the u.s. senate can be described as a step forward and a step back at the same time when it comes to us russian relations a two fold bill containing two curious elements has been passed the step forward is the long awaited repeal of the quiet outdated jackson valley commandment which was adopted by nine hundred seventy four for decades it has been complicating trade

between russia and the us and has been traditionally seen as a major echo from the cold war but it's the step back that's the twist in this particular vote the so-called mug needs that is part of this passed legislation and what it does is impose sanctions such as visa bans and asset freezes on russian individuals that the u.s. deems involved in the tragic death of lawyer sergei magnitsky in two thousand and nine as well as other russians that the u.s. considers involved in human rights abuses and the reason this is a major setback of course in america's relationship with russia is because moscow has made it clear time and time again that it sees this as interfering in russia's internal affairs well russia has condemned this so-called magnitsky act as more details now from. the russian foreign ministry who we hope to go to a little later we did have a link with but as i say we're trying to get back to chicago for reaction there from the russian foreign ministry a little later now i understand we can go to it so you can hear me. there we are

yes i can hear you hi there right tell us what exactly is moscow saying it will stand. by their bill will certainly russian foreign ministry did not hold back any punches in its reaction to the magnitsky act passed in the u.s. senate late on thursday they had called the legislation quote a measure of the absurd and on its twitter feed and both in a statement the foreign ministry had said and i quote apparently washington has forgotten what year it is and still thinks the cold war is going on they went on to tweet it is perfect perplexing and propose to hear human rights complaints from the united states where torture and kidnappings are quote legal in the twenty first century they also went on to say that this legislation will certainly have a negative impact on bilateral relations between the two countries and also said that it's a quote biased approach that is nothing but vindictive but a vindictive desire to counter russia in the world affairs so you can certainly see just how much the foreign ministry is riled by the passage of this legislation we

also have to keep in mind that prime minister to prime minister dmitry medvedev last week also criticized this legislation saying that it would quote if costs get the trigger both symmetrical and asymmetrical reaction from russia he went on to say that it is inadmissible when one country tries to dictate its will to another so this of course undermines just how tense relations between the two countries will be as a result of the kasich of this act it still remains to be seen when the white house will sign it but certainly you know a no no welcome mood here in russia to this controversial piece of legislation you see things i'm all for about a deficit from moscow all teased you see coming. when i'll be back with more international news with the news team in just a few moments stay with us this is altie in moscow.

million dollars worth of products from here each year now a group of twenty two n.g.o.s from across europe is looking to highlight the issue and it's published a report in which it claims e.u. imports make the settlements viable because they are produced in illegal settlements which are contrary to international humanitarian law should be banned out of the european union now if this is not possible at least the consumers have to have the possibility to. to decide for themselves if they want to buy products which have been produced in the legal segment your c farmers this land is much concerned by the thoughts of european n.g.o.s he says he's here because his government told him it was ok to be here. because i was told he. so i circled where i was told i could if tomorrow the state of israel tells me time to go i'll go i'm told i'm an occupier when i go to it was nothing if you.

jews over here we're not talking about even boycotting israel is over we're talking about making a difference differentiating between legal israeli products which should be bought by european citizens as much as the course the short and second products which are totally illegal and should be banned and people should not be our city. other international news stories now here in our world update there have been mass evacuations from parts of the explosion of a chemical container in the city's port area local media reports that it's caused public transport in the argentine capital with many services cancelled a toxic cloud has formed in the sky above the city but officials say it poses no serious danger. student protests marking the fourth anniversary of the shooting of a teenager policeman turned violent in greece and athens and thessaloniki

too much no no no and i thought looking over amsterdam is a good future look at what we're going to see here amsterdam to create scum villages absolute numbers to create scum villages where nuisance neighbors and anti-social tenants will be exiled from the city and re housed in caravans or containers with minimal services under constant police supervision. well a couple points or first of all you know it's austerity for the baby stuckey the royal baby as well they're not going to be born of the silver spoon in his mouth is going to be a silver plated so sturdy first nickie baby as well and the containers on it or is an answer damn going to stack them up basically like those animal farms industrial farming to chicken farming where the you've got the showers that come down on the story below it that's what that's what's coming after them that's what's coming around the world the austerity condo hours from old containers of course to recycle
