take the results that are being circulated right now it's not you know it's definitely in a country after the revolution to have a constitution that's approved by fifty something votes. egypt is also a hot topic at r.t. dot com where we're asking what future would be country phase if its new constitution is adopted and so far over a third of you believe the country would turn into a hardline islamic state and might see an eruption of sectarian violence or expect an uprising among those who believe the revolution has been hijacked poynton that the new constitution does not differ that much from the old one and the minorities say egypt will face a new fight for power between the muslim brotherhood and the military so go online to have your say. as egypt continues to be grouped by instability is just one of the country's still feeling the effects of the arab spring the regional strain of rebels has already claimed tens of thousands of lives and brought down several versions with no sign of it stopping and some of those who helped ushering the

when we see. all the violence of the police soar or of salafist or. if unpoliced man are attacked by by some i'm sure a spear poll. and there are less freedoms right now when it comes to and they were freedoms there are attacks on individual freedoms every day they received so many messages from girls saying but they were. on the street even by police men. who didn't tolerate their or their way off dressing this used to be a common pattern in the countries that share the so-called arab spring just to hears ago hopes of transition from authoritarian regimes to a new democratic forms of government seem to have your. writing is going to him economies and shambles and increased interest content the pattern is the same
12:06 am
internation egypt where people are pouring out on the streets again with you you when. though only months ago they were rallying in support of the muslim brotherhood and the freedom and justice party during the elections i think a lot of people did vote for the muslim brotherhood in egypt because they wanted economic changes not just getting rid of mubarak and having morsi and morsi know he's obviously you know very different political figure to mubarak in terms of his ideology has carried on much the same policies in terms of economic policy in libya the uprising to comply he turned moammar gadhafi from around the country for over forty years was deposed and killed in two thousand and eleven and he nearly in government has been struggling to control parts of the country going as far as beseeching the entire town of bani walid for allegedly providing shelter to diehard conductor supporters the are using heavy machinery to demolish the demolished houses second be no. guys again it's just

12:09 am
doesn't have any money and that told to me the problem the difficulty the spanish government is that it hasn't actually wanted to bite the bullet over the most of all areas in which it's been deficient for many many years admitted like one could say that was the previous government run rather than the current government however the truth is there is no money to pay all of these nurses and doctors there is no money for this lavish government infrastructure it has to be privatized sold off there have to be salvaged cultures because truly spain has spent the last decade living on the never never it was built on the back of a huge property bubble the bubble was unsustainable nobody managed the money to start unfortunately what we can obviously say tragedy for the poor independent healthcare professionals there's just no way to manage to find the money to aid them in modern spain the biggest shock of the whole year has gone doggedly been the fact that the euro was held together the european union is putting on a brave face it is throwing money around the place it's trying all manner of things

a lock to reform the political situation however no such serious steps has been taken for example we still see attacks on peaceful course we still see political prisoners not the release torture still taking place human rights violations are taking place on daily basis the human rights issue is the going to behind not allowing or just in the first place first the law or the king came up with a law that basically banned any kind of peaceful protests that said so this is a violation of international law so when people challenge the law that's not illegal that is a clear double your double standard when it comes to u.s. foreign. sea in the region especially rain and syria where the rise violations are committed and behind on daily basis over the week we hear nor can the nation from the united states and we would like to see a larger scale of. diplomatic pressure and international pressure on the bahraini

a route that dividing david cameron's coalition government to get his energy minister says he's against wind farms and enough is enough while his energy secretary says he's going home for them to speak for the government the energy secretary or the energy minister or the prime minister but in this case he doesn't seem quite sure there's been no change to alter newell energy but in the same breath he hinted the number of wind farms could be reviewed after current targets are fulfilled this would anger the liberals but greatly pleased those who say wind farms are an expensive waste of time such as london affiliate merrick's who lives near little cheney caught wind farm the locals were united against it every single democratically local organization that's the councils were against it but of course the developers very careful they dished out a lot of money to locals and of course that board a bit of support amazingly wind farms have got a p.r.

. campaign behind them but people do sing seem to think that they're helpful to the environment which of course they're not this one's been open since two thousand and eight and during that time output has improved but it's coming from a pretty low base that only twenty one and a half percent capacity in its first year to just twenty six percent last year there are twenty six wind turbines behind me each one of which costs in the region of two million pounds to erect according to locals we've come on a good day all the wind turbines are currently working usually they say that's not the case and a lot of the time they're just standing there. and that's the rub people need electricity twenty four seven not just when the wind is blowing so wind power still needs supplementing by fossil fueled power stations but despite its shortcomings

the taxpayer forks out fifty percent of its running costs are subsidies the right way to encourage an industry to mature or are actually what you're doing and i think what we're doing is we're rewarding in adequate technologies now and indeed we're fossilize ing them more infantilizing them we're actually preventing growth what we really need to save these people yes well if you can improve and you can show that you've got a place for this you're welcome at the moment we're covering them with gold when in fact they're quite inadequate locals are quick to point out that less than eight kilometers away is a nuclear power station supported by the community as a reliable source of power and local employer unlike the wind farm which is controlled from germany but if david cameron refuses to be blown off course the government will stick to its plans and more than double the amount of on shore wind power by two thousand and twenty to meet european targets nor a smith r.t. can't. some u.s. officials accused of human rights violations on the verge of being blacklisted in

12:21 am
doing roughly the same thing as the magnitsky bill has passed its first reading in the russian duma it's not known exactly who it's targeting but some possible examples are what russia a says those are u.s. citizens accused by russia of breaching the human rights of russians for example in the last ten years and number of russian children adopted by u.s. citizens have died or suffered human rights abuses among those a boy who was left in a car in extremely hot temperatures and he died his name may indeed be attached to the bill as part of this. squabble over human rights between russia and the u.s. this all affects the much the much hyped up reset between russia and
12:22 am
the u.s. which was started in barack obama's first turn now a russian lawmakers are eager to point out that the start of his second term he's passed what they consider very anti russian legislation one of the editors of komsomolskaya pravda the russian newspaper was hours after the passing of this bill pranked he received a letter which are looked to all intents and purposes to come from the u.s. consulate saying that his visa had been revoked in connection with the magnitsky bill which was just a bit i got a fax signed by the vice consul which also had the number of the revoked veto and the technical data showing that the facts had been sent from the u.s. embassy in. moscow i was surprised because it said the reason was the magnitsky act and i'm not related to that case although i thought this might have been triggered by the articles published in our newspaper that the us state department did not like but it turned out to be a prank as the embassy said they did not send it whether the consequences are
