election. change the course of the spanish government very much afraid or or let. the possibility of losing. the. forces alone to start thinking that perhaps you better all outside state would get the government of the moment. was elected. whatever don't already there was a government but well by the way this is out of the crisis so even though the. process of austerity that meets to. more slowly. bring about so. i think this government still has quite a little quite a lot of. security forces in bahrain have used tear gas and stun grenades in

a clash with anti-government demonstrators in the capital manama activists of claimed on social media sites that several human rights advocates have been arrested the demonstrators have been marking martyrs day and then you'll commemoration of to protest as who were killed in one nine hundred ninety four there are also eyewitness reports of demonstrators using molotov cocktails in their clashes with police the government is played down its recent calls for dialogue saying talks will only take place if the protesters stop violence and negotiate without preconditions bahraini authorities banned all public gatherings a month ago a few months ago i should say in an attempt to stem almost two years of unrest in which up to. people killed and thousands arrested hussein of dollars from americans for democracy and human rights in bahrain believes the situation won't change as long as the government is backed by western powers. they are with the good talk but they never. do the walk and other wards it is simply they came under tremendous

pressure from the united states to open up their political systems to start a serious dialogue to reform the political situation however no such serious steps has been taken for example we still see attacks on peaceful protest we still see political prisoners now going to release torture still taking place human rights violations are taking place on daily basis the human rights issue as they go into behind not allowing just in the first place first the law of the king came up with a law that basically banned any kind of peaceful protests there so this is a violation of international law so when people challenge the law that's not illegal there is a clear double double standard when it comes to u.s. foreign policy in the region especially rain and syria where the rise violations are committed and behind on daily basis however we we hear no condemn nation from the united states and we would like to see

a larger scale of. diplomatic pressure and international pressure on the bahraini regime the cradle of the arab spring tunisia has not two years since the start of the uprisings with an angry attack on the country's president people threw stones at who was visiting a town where a protester set himself on fire triggering the string of uprisings across the region and as. a reporter many of those who helped usher in the changes back in two thousand and ten say they're still no better off. it began here in tunisia two years ago when a poverty stricken fruit vendor set himself on fire in an act of desperation so i'm saying he was a hero others say he was a drunkard with a history of psychological problems whatever more hala was this is real motivation was his act of self-immolation sort of a string of events which became known as the arab spring decades old regimes were toppled what came to replace them is hardly what most of the people in these

countries had in mind when they were doing the revolutions they wanted freedom of speech and free elections bred on their tables and jobs what they got seems to be a very different result situation is war strife comparison to. comparison to the years before. the revolution personally i don't feel safe. when we see. all the violence of the police sore or of salafist. if unpoliced attacked by by some nationalist people. there are less freedoms right now when it comes to under their own freedoms there are attacks on individual freedoms every day i received so many messages from girls saying but they were. straight even by police men.

who didn't tolerate their or their way off but they are saying this seems to be a common pattern in the countries that i shared the so-called arab spring just two years ago hopes of transition from authoritarian regimes to new democratic forms of government seem to have altered rising islamism economies in shambles and increasing discontent the pattern is the same in tunisia and egypt where people are pouring out on the streets again with a renewed. just 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 no he's obviously you know right different political figure to. carry on much the same policies in terms of economic policy in libya the uprising took

a bloody turn moammar gadhafi who ruled the country for over forty years was deposed and killed in two thousand and eleven and he merely being a government has been struggling to control parts of the country going as far as besieging the entire town of bani walid for allegedly providing shelter to diehard khadafi supporters the are using heavy machinery to demolish the demolished houses they can be using now. guys again it's just a feeling people children and now really sickening we would not humanity of the one of the two please help us save our family. i got this time to make libya now the quantum a place where no one can stop them and they have unlimited money and we're going to the western leaders were quick to praise changes across the middle east they said it was the beginning of a new democratic era for the region but the model of democracy they may have had in

mind doesn't seem to be the right fit i think it has to be a different type of a democratic system the democracy that the u.s. would like to impose upon egypt tunisia and morocco and the other countries throughout the region and even libya where it was waged last year to topple the gadhafi government is not suitable to the people inside of that region in tunisia in an r.t. . because plans to go green could prove too costly for the public. and is where the fourth after the break stay with us. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the circling island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the

pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the borders own and was completely restricted to visit is now this picture rest place is open to tourists plants and animals are its top attraction. really has been exploring the deaths on the world seas for several decades but it's here at more your own island where he has finally found what he. calls me the most the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is extremely rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet including the island of bali but mine are on top of my list while some go to the sakhalin region to enjoy the sights others convert the island's nature's riches into

welcome if you just joined us r.t. live here in moscow now to discuss the impact of the arab spring two years on now i hope to be joined by our next guest dr saeed side the he's from the american university in cairo we've seen a lot of disappointment with the new leaders in countries like egypt where you are in tunisia how do you assess the outcome of the arab revolutions so far. we have to understand that you cannot move for one extreme to another you cannot move from absolute autocracy to westminister. there is always a transition and it is very in for every person who comes up the pollution will always have a file or remember. they were going to vote who should focus on things that means

you're going if. somebody saw the could not complete one and he was impeached and his successor was as it was in one month's successful was a similar goose move which you will have will have a lot to do so. willis center government this week the economy gets we this although the security is not the working now what you are seeing is the mock will see it being cheap and people are learning it b.c. democracy and that's why you will find a lot of thing here and there but there is no killing so why so what we're saying is correct for example your saying this is a classic example of a painful transition to democracy are you saying there is inevitably going to be a positive outcome and that people have to be patient exactly if you remember the french revolution how many kids it took to have to achieve the objectives french women got the right to vote in one hundred forty five people i was.

you know the have this expect that if i have evolution to be the next morning i will have everything of course that is difficult i have also hoops and democracy the most combustible change of the minds and. you know i ducked into democracy but still have some elements from the past are. you don't have a strong liberal i mean the liberals are organizing now and cheeping. object to the fact that they were able to get up to today forty four to forty five percent saying no to this constitution draft constitution that is the defining restricting personal liberties that would commute as you quote thinks the agave just shows you that the society is active but let me ask you let me just quickly ask you about the west's point of view here of course he has been very supportive

in these revolutions which now of course have led to islamist governments being established is that exactly what the west really had in mind and wanted. the west wants. any of those important countries to serve their strategic interests if it was more bother the old regime for all. as longer see the lever you don't mind the color of the as long as it gets their way but it will have a danger because although the new government sorry to interrupt is no danger of those new governors perhaps becoming anti western and imposing strict islamic law as they develop as they get their feet under the table as it were. you don't have the economic resources like long to have this kind of foreign policy the foreign policy of the all. are still like the all. cool west who. can make you dependent how can you have an independent plan policy

when you are asking for handouts. and was the country. and after all i suppose you could say the islamists coming to power in egypt many are criticizing them for hijacking the revolution but actually it is a natural outcome isn't it for a country where an estimated ninety percent of the population are muslims. well muslims is one thing political islam is a different thing this is a tent that uses religion to each political objectives and not everybody in the country agrees with them had been that true you wouldn't have seen the people out in the street if you will sitting and decision the policy of the person who gave. the constitution that was me by. a simple. sanction the president means the capital of egypt is signal to the president let me just quickly ask you

you saying the event eventually there will be a positive outcome with these revolutions but what about the cases of libya iraq and afghanistan just how long do people have to suffer the instability and the violence before these these countries do establish themselves as sovereign nations . in spikey libya libya. you know it's very rich. and the economy is working well the program is. really exciting on all sides i cannot leave alone because look keep on fighting economic political in. the uk let me start. with yemen it's very difficult because they have neighbors they don't have much resources and so it can be in for a long time in. each of. us of. if

we the people are learning in the last three years that you had to live in a political solution which is sixty four percent what about who will be active in politics. if you see a good position in egypt you will find many women about even in militants who have been. ok ok dr saver. it's very timely because we're actually losing the connection now but we did get everything you had to say there thank you very much indeed sorry about the poor connection just at the end dr saeed study from the american university in cairo environmentally friendly energy looks like a reasonable solution where natural resources are running low and exploiting them becomes more dangerous u.k. wants fifteen percent of the country's energy needs to be covered by renewable sources by twenty twenty that could prove too costly for the public has all these nor smith reports. wind turbines turn in the breeze they might not generate much

power but they're certainly putting people in a spin it's 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 got no hope 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 nubile energy but in the same breath he hinted the number of wind farms could be reviewed after the current targets are fulfilled this would anger the liberals but greatly please those who say wind farms are an expensive waste of time such as london a philip 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 bought 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's blowing so wind power is

still needs supplementing by fossil fueled power stations but despite its shortcomings the taxpayer folks 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 i think what we're doing is we're rewarding in adequate technologies now and indeed we're fossilize in the more infantilizing them we 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 you're welcome for the moment we're covering them with gold when in fact i 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 lower smith r.t.

can't. the u.k. need to take action because it could soon fall into fuel poverty that's according to the report predicting that people mainly pensioners and the disabled may not be able to afford to keep warm by twenty sixteen that story in full at r.t. dot com. also online moscow sounds to ban the adoption of russian children by americans and curb institutions hoping prospective parents that's in response to the controversial magnitsky. opposition groups in egypt have called on their supporters to stage a nationwide protest to challenge the outcome of the first round of the referendum on the new islamist backed constitution they claim the vote was marred by widespread violations with rights groups calling for a rerun of saturday's poll early results suggest fifty six percent of egyptians approve of the draft constitution which is supported by president morsi and the muslim brotherhood but the opposition says the document is poorly drafted and turns the constitution into an islamist code the biggest opposition alliance the national

salvation front has called on people to take to the streets to defend their freedoms ahead of the referendum second round this saturday the group spokesman that would is hoping the opposition's complaints won't remain. right now we want the authorities the election commission to look into the violations and to decide by itself whether this is big enough in order to repeat the first round and in case we are going to go to the second round we want to make sure the israelis are not going to be repeated particularly in terms of the outcomes of this it's a privilege and there were not enough judges yesterday to look into the or to supervise the vote we also complained about preventing our observers the preservers of human rights groups from attending the counting process according to a decision by the judges we want to attend and be present during the counting and we also complaining about the fact that the muslim brotherhood members were continuing their propaganda inside the polling stations until the last minute trying to influence voters and try to convince them to vote yes for the

constitution claiming that. would that mean that you are an infidel or that you are again is this them so we're still holding a lot of hold the president morsi will listen to the voice of wisdom and considering that this is a draft constitution that's dividing the country even if we take the results that are being circulated right now it's not enough definitely in a country after the revolution to have a constitution that's approved by a fifty something last bug area has offered to host u.s. troops on its territory the government says it will help boost regional security and assist with the training of bulger and soldiers but there's no official confirmation yet as well as no indication of how many american troops will be sent and he war activist brian becker i spoke to my little earlier he says the u.s. is seeking more influence in the region. we've seen that there is a strong motive force to maintain the cold war even without the soviet union and to incorporate the countries of eastern and central europe the former warsaw pact countries into an american sphere of influence through the medium of nato and so i

think what the what the troop deployment the creation of more bases there already for. the incorporation of this as part of the nato strategy is one a threat to russia a threat to the national sovereignty of the people of bug area because they have foreign military bases and it incorporates makes it more secure as part of an american political and economic as well as military formation nato in the creation in development of u.s. military bases which are always done under the pretext of security whether it be american security or regional security or global security what that really is is a method by which that country and its economy and its political leaders become securely fastened to to washington both in terms of the incorporation of u.s. military equipment selling u.s. military goods abroad which is a big business here but more than anything having undue influence in the host

country you really can't be a free country and a free people and have foreign troops on your on your soil now is the mother international news making headlines this hour seventeen people have been confirmed dead after a car bomb explosion at a tel market in north west pakistan the blast was near the office of a government official the alleged target of the attack in the region close to the border with afghanistan. plagued by fierce fighting between the military and taliban insurgents with civilians often called in the crossfire. iraq has been hit by a wave of explosions and attacks three government raided a checkpoint near the town of tikrit killing five policemen and five more separate roadside bombs in areas north of baghdad claimed the lives of four others there's also been a car bomb and several killings near the city of mosul and another blast nearby in a sheer place of worship which resulted in twelve deaths. in japan leading liberal democrats who want to result in parliamentary election victory putting former prime

latest incarnation of a trafficking racket carried out is with the connivance of the afghan government. naturally when you're trying to stem a one thing from flowing away there will be other ways of doing it and naturally gold is being used not only in lieu of dollars leaving afghanistan but also it's a very very interesting change in foreign money launderers for drug smugglers and also there's. another angle to this which would be the dumping of gold by a. regional players and even beyond the region because around afghanistan there are some central asian countries and even as far as russia up to russia all the good producers of gold and the drug. money that was coming into afghanistan are other bartering was taking place gold is taking a new shape in it and.
