at eight pm moscow time a badge of peace for a region in turmoil the e.u. gets its nobel prize but hundreds of protesters joined the voices saying it doesn't deserve the award we pulled. egypt's supposition calls for more protests across the country are for rejecting the referendum on the new islamist place constitution. and the ruling regime and the opposition in bahrain say they are ready to sit at the negotiating table but many believe the divisions run too deep to end the twenty months of bright. yellow light from the new center kevin oh and he with you this is good to have you company our top story the european union is three presidents have received this

year's nobel peace prize on behalf of the group it's been given to commend the e.u. for fostering peace and then everyone agrees hundreds marched through the norwegian capital in protest paid all of it looks at why many believe the e.u. doesn't deserve the prize and why the whole nobel institution made no need to rethink. mark for. one day eleven they may well not be deterred by the call about them but by the content of back our one hundred one it candy probably would have become a glorious. however the nobel peace prize is only awarded to a living person this is when it tests trying especially when it comes to finances the announcement the european union was to pick up the twenty twelve gong sparked a heated debate the award was being discredited particularly to the outrage it was

picked it up recently well to be frank inside the united states i don't think very many people pay attention to the nobel peace prize anymore large numbers of americans were stunned when yasser arafat received the nobel peace prize many years ago president obama was given a prize for reasons that no one understood see what's. done over the last twelve months to convince the nobel committee it's with the of such a prestigious award. it supported regime change in foreign countries and several member states indulged in violent crackdowns on demonstrate is outraged by the failure of the government's. skeptics. think it devalues the whole concept of the nobel peace prize and what's really happening is that the european union is having its worst year ever at its mates and the international community coming to it's a brit to have been awarded of the announcement to be made in the very week that

angela merkel went to athens and was greeted not just by tens of thousands of protesters but people dressed up in swastikas and giving it. frankly i grew up in a europe that was divided from east to west. that is divided from north to south and never at any point in the history of this union has there been. more discord and rancor that we've currently got among more moderate forces there are concerns the peace prize is being used as a political football i think this award basically does a lot kind of discredit past people who won this prize i mean it demonstrates a sort of heavy politicization of the use of this award i know it's been suggested that this year's winner of the peace prize picked it up more for not having done something as opposed to having food the peace around the globe it seems like they got the prize more because there hasn't been any war in europe for many decades

rather than having done anything specific i think as long as civic institutions like the nobel prize continue to lose their legitimacy in their spirit through political favoritism and these prizes are always political but obvious political favoritism and maneuvering i think it actually takes something away and i think it's actually damaging that leaves the whole institution of the prize facing the question of whether the nobility is being drained from the new down peter all of the r t. so sort of stable situation on the european markets today as italy's technocrat leader has said that his time in office will soon be up late so that we look at what store for the ailing euro zone with that in mind would simply no way are the crisis. next though egypt's military has taken over the country's security and given powers of arrest in the run up to the referendum next week's votes been rejected by the opposition though isn't representative and with calls to stage mass nationwide protests getting louder president morsi is trying to make some more

concessions but it doesn't ease the tension as surely spelled true reports from cairo. already this morning president mohamed morsi. on the decision to increase tax burdens on the country is a sales tax on consumer goods and services this is seen to be quite popular for him in the face of much to sense the increased tax burdens were supposed to be part of i.m.f. loan international monetary fund loan four point eight billion dollars loan the country's be trying to secure recently definitely these reducing these tax burdens will perhaps make it more popular among the streets however yesterday of course the national salvation front the coalition of opposition forces going in many of these protests in the city today completely reject the concept of referendum set to be next week and have called for protests they say the constitution will only enforce a presidential dictatorship and then it's a. key social economic demands as well as big state of the country as it was.

by islamist dominated constituent assembly to here in cairo was really expecting big crowds on cheese day against the president. by a new coalition of islamic forces that pulled the president on tuesday they said they want to have a million people on the streets in support of the president of course with the background of violence on wednesday between rival protest groups right here at the presidential palace which bloody scenes in the streets of cairo such a recent eight we've now been told the president has also made a tree to step in and secure the nation in addition to giving power to arrest citizens this has been much criticism from the protesters who feel the military will take a heavy hand this comes after. egypt hosni mubarak stepped down last last year which witnessed quite a heavy and bloody crackdown on protesters during the last two in that transition

period last night at the protest in front of the presidential palace protesters screens to teach all. minute trees and human rights violations towards protesters on the screens of the president the presidential suite on the walls of the presidential palace they said to remind people of what the military capable of right now the republican guard still have their tanks outside the policy directive twelve foot barriers which the protesters did manage to push through but it's still a sign that maybe we'll see more tanks on the streets as their descent continues in the lead up to this controversial referendum well egypt's main opposition leaders and a former head of the arab league says morsy is regime is failing to fulfill the nation's hopes for change or deal with this major economic problems in. the change that we want to the people hoped for dealing with the services. they should be helped and the rest of the trial but doing to the life objections have not really produced

anything new fifty percent of the country lives in poverty the illiteracy the their unemployment the problems that have not been addressed until this moment this is the point that one many of us as citizens those liberals as nationalists that believe that we are losing time we should not have this stand still kind of policy we have to move on let us move together the vision of dividing the country dividing the people dividing the public opinion is not in our interest. and if you don't call it already i can let you know artie's full interview with the egyptian opposition leader is on a bit later today at eight hundred forty five g.m.t. . now while one country struggles with the outcome of its revolution another still caught up in uprising despite a glimmer of hope and the prospect talks now in bahrain the deep divisions between

the opposition of the ruling family could prove too big to overcome the talk about that shortly tonight also drawing itself red line israel's fears that syria's chemical weapons could end up in their better anime's hands founded or not we examine that after the break. a sacred place rising out of the waters of the lake the law ministry is home to one hundred fifty orthodox monks mostly younger than thirty five and they've come from many different places and backgrounds to live in isolation here spiritual life it takes up many hours on the road to becoming a monk requires both hard work and religious tele cation. alexei wants to become and herds cattle as part of this preparation. however these beasts

get a musical company. they can remember sound sequences you know they react to the sound signals the flutes the herders had in the old days they needed them it wasn't just a fun thing but these meadows didn't come naturally requiring decades of composting to bring the soil up to farming standard. this island is mostly rock. the soil here is very thin and the monks can't just get more of it because they're surrounded by the lake so they have to work very hard in order to provide whatever food they need. they grow their own crops farm their own fish and repair their own churches. but the central purpose of alarm has always been religious the main ministry is surrounded by smaller priories spread through the many archipelago the monks here know their existence is a little different from that of other mana streets here we are out of the way and we do have. bill creams and sometimes tourists as well but

for almost two years now although the opposition of the regime say they are ready for dialogue now and as election reports the divisions might run too deep though for any lasting peace. said dick says his life was shattered his sits on a municipal council in bahrain and several months ago he was shot by police during a peaceful protest looking at him. injuries his lucky to be alive part of an on line one and i was with many other protesters when we were faced by riot police they did not hesitate to shoot us directly to the head with the bullets the police are using for hunting birds and animals i've been shot with over one hundred ninety two pellets scattered all over my body in the head face arms and legs the most dangerous ones are those inside my lungs. so deep is just one of hundreds who have suffered in the anti-government protests that started around twenty months ago when revolution fever was sweeping the middle east and north africa the descent in

bahrain differs little from that in a nation swept by the arab spring but the story never stop it is a daily in many different areas against the regime against that because of the against the situation. one thousand five hundred presidents we have. every day we have a lot of. security forces surrounding the areas attacking the people at that in their houses given the outcome of the arab spring and evils bahrain's ruling elite is doing its best to stamp out revolt the government recently slapped a ban on all public gatherings bahrain's chief of police says it's not permanent but it is necessary we have introduced a temporary restriction on gatherings on protests and that is. one reason because lately we have seen that these gatherings and protests have been taking more violent. methods and one year we had over four hundred protests in bahrain

that's more than one protest but big and we have tried to solve the problem however they didn't seem to be able to control protests and the gatherings despite the ban and the risk of arrest people are still gathering the hard core of the protest comes from poor neighborhoods as soon as we reached one we immediately and counted a small and peaceful antigovernment all roundly. summer simple to estimate how many people were actually taken by them just a moment in by the way in fact is that these protesters are being supported by the local shia community which may come up to seventy percent of this country's population. the ruling elite are sunni muslims and this may look like a sectarian war but the authorities firmly reject their actions are religiously motivated there is a radical movement in the opposition party they are hardliners they want to see regime change they want to implement their own style of government they seek

a secretary in theocracy and that is an acceptable saw because i feel out of desperation they know that they don't have the support of the rest of the population of bahrain they have turned to these violent means the protests are gathering momentum and allegations of torture in prisons are leading to serious international pressure being put on. so bahrain's rulers find themselves in a tough position they want dialogue with dissenters but the question is whether they will be satisfied with what the king has to offer a legacy or share ski r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. the western warnings are circling over syria's chemical weapons but nearby israel's got another worry on its mind right now that asshole could get into the hands of hezbollah for israel such arms being controlled by what it considers to be a terrorist group would be a real red line marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine says these

concerns though are not groundless. there's a very strong possibility that these syrian militants could very well acquire chemical weapons which of course would be catastrophic not just for syria but for the entire region it might be an inconvenient truth to many was western politicians but of course the islamists in syria who are largely representative of the militants they wouldn't hesitate to use them against syria's minorities and they certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them against israel so there is that right so very important to stop the flow through the constant flow of weapons and cash into syria by certain western state line turkey going to saudi arabia and qatar the israelis then not concerned that the syrian government would use chemical weapons against israel they are very concerned that the militants in syria would use them if they acquired them it could be

a pretext that but the west issues in concert believe america to intervene in the syria they claimed in the run up to the invasion of iraq the reasons for going in iraq had weapons of mass destruction nothing was found intervene in libya colonel gadhafi forces we're told we're going to alter. our sins and thousands of libyan civilians there was never any evidence for that spend once again yes there's a very realistic possibility that the militants in syria could acquire chemical weapons and of course who would be responsible for that would be those countries around the world in particular in the region turkey saudi arabia qatar and starting western countries that are doing absolutely everything they can at the moment to weaken the syrian government. check and i will be got on a website for call moscow preparing to prove a list of americans accused of human rights violations now in response to washington's magnitsky bill accusing russians of the same to read up more about that as we go on for quite

a united states of europe. that it has to be discussed i'm sorry i was saying yes there is no alternative to that and if they don't want to be. bound to a federal union or european union or a state of the united states of europe they can of course leave or negotiate the treaties. across oxana throughout the day you're on r.t. to take through some international news and brief taliban assault on a police state northwestern pakistan has left at least eight dead three attackers reportedly fired rockets and grenades in a battle that lasted over an hour to insurgents detonated suicide vest during the clash the local taliban said the attack was to avenge the death of a relative of the former commander. a lot of quick misery so five point six on the richter scale hit the philippines which is already trying to recover from the devastation brought on by that deadly typhoon earlier only
