with live from moscow. thank you for joining us today. well they promised. it's not looking too far from it at this point has been used to be heard outside pakistan's parliament where thousands of demanding immediate and sweeping changes are leading them as a charismatic and cleric who said to be a favorite of the military among his and his followers demands are calls for broad government reform and a harsh crackdown on corruption in an apparent effort to mollify the demonstrators supreme court has ordered the arrest of the prime minister who is caught up in a bribery scandal.

we are standing here in a very crucial point actually it is called the famous disk where or with the local language where dr qadri and his protesters are gathered and demanded the government to step down d. and he has added to that the seven demands which briefly sais that the all parliamentarian and legislative institution should be dissolved and the government has to resign immediately and the reason also said in his speech that he will not rule over from this place still the last person even if the last person would leave but he is going to continue his. demands and he continue his protest but the possibility of the possibility of continuations or proceeding this protesters on the other side where the parliament and the president

presidential house as well as the supreme court and the original area where all the diplomatic enclave diplomatic embassies are located including the american embassy the british embassy and other embassies so they are in a very critical point the latest and the unexpected actually developments occurred here is the supreme court's just recently has given a verdict of the arrests once of the prime minister roger pervious ashraf on a corruption cases and it is supposed he supposed to be appearing before the courts to morrow so it is the development of the political development the decisions are taking place and very quickly and very unexpectedly actually observer believe that whatever the supreme court has taken it is a political move from the government maybe the. puts their prime minister is as.

scapegoats. called it's to save the situation or to reduce the amount of anger and the amount of the protests and the. three in this say regions. now the clerical mohammad of qatar has given the government an ultimatum to disband a parliament or no order is followers to carry out acts of civil disobedience but political analyst says the system now but a chief very little. time when it is in the middle of a very sensitive insurgency and people have been known to take advantage of the cage and i don't know whether it is a very much a people have been movement because americans are merging now for example the supreme court's order for the rest of the prime minister. exactly during the speech of mr. somewhere somebody is pulling the strings because suddenly there's a lot of funding and there's

a lot of show of force but do give dr credit yes he has done his own book well he was very careful to invoke religious sentiments from from both sides of the sectarian the worried at a time when the divide was waning yes a lot of people were fed up with a government yes it failed to deliver yes people want change but again. the system at this point would perhaps do more harm than good concentrate on issues like the corruption instead of personalities. you watching r.t. and it is a grim anniversary for the us and for that of vietnam. they cannot explain the fact that they have great military supremacy go in and just destroy a government occupy a country and we mourn their country so that it becomes a proxy or a client of the united states all despite the huge losses both sides suffered in the conflict for decades ago now we explore whether washington has learned the lessons or is ready to repeat his costly mistakes. and up to twenty people are being killed in

a double blast at the university of. syria i mean battleground between government forces and rebels looking to overthrow president assad more details on that just around the corner. now france says it will significantly boost its intervention force to mali with the total number of troops deployed to the conflict zone expected to reach two and a half thousand felt paris's carrying out attacks against islamist insurgents in its former african colony only from the air but despite almost five days of intensive airstrikes aimed at helping mali's government the militants have now managed to grab more territory and raises fears the fight against islamists will not be as swift as france initially planned and the u.s. and britain are among those who will assist the combat mission of paris is also seeking arab backing eric margolies an award winning columnist who extensively covered conflicts in africa believes the french effort is more about its imperial appetite rather than any issue of tackling terror. recently

that there would be no intervention in. the old days of when the french used to go in and to overthrow governments overnight after governments that didn't full of french policy isn't those days are gone well you see they're not. crazy nam recent colonialism which are not very old and new france really ruled. the entire region even after giving it independence still ran it from behind the scenes it was called france afrique and a lot of west africans still resent the problem with the world what's happening in mali now is when spread to unstable. is the uprising going our central african republic i recall. even to nigeria also one has to be very cheerful we are this is it dangerous not regional what it's doing it's it's like dropping an explosive in the middle of the fire it's spreading that fire where that rebel putting it out.

a country and remold their country so it becomes a proxy or a client of the united states forty years and six presidents later critics say washington has done a better job at repeating mistakes rather than learning from them we still keep getting into the. war for wars or interventions another country's. i mean it's wrong period you're not going to win we don't win in iraq. when women in afghanistan were racially and when even there with our tail between their lives and the same thing is like a vietnam we didn't win nothing who won absolutely nothing and you know and they just don't get it we've tried to rule the world we've tried to do it in the novel way in a way that's been damaging to every nation in the world but in the process the united states has become less and less free it's become less and less economically viable and with each passing decade war has generated more and more profit for the

u.s. military industry i topic r.t. discussed with filmmaker and vietnam war vet oliver stone we have not done well with interventions anywhere but we continue to be an empire you know we have eight hundred plus spaces since some of the very secret and we leave created a huge infrastructure a global infrastructure we're trying to be the world's policeman when it comes to america's security republican senator chuck hagel has been nominated to replace leon panetta hey goal would be the first vietnam vet to ever head the u.s. department of defense when i was in vietnam in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight united states senators making decisions that affected my life. and a lot of people who lost their lives but they didn't have i didn't having the say about someone needs to represent that perspective and in our government as well the people in washington make the policy. but it's the little guys who come back in the body but since two thousand and one an estimated sixty six hundred u.s.

soldiers have returned from iraq or afghanistan in body bags and last year suicides by american soldiers surged to three hundred forty nine historic high the u.s. military has had decades of experience in areas like asia latin america the middle east and africa however experts say if leaders in washington don't begin learning from the past the only foreign policy factor that will continue changing is the geographic location of america's. and repeated mistakes reporting from new york. r.t. . and i t. is coming to life for a moscow and stripping protest of citizenship police brutality. over twitter posts to up to this point bahrain has seen just about everything and in the latest incident an elderly man dies off during hailing tear gas during a demonstration how he felt safe for some time even in his own home.

in the us a prosecutor was warned freedom of information activist aaron swartz could indeed kill himself stay with us for more on the life and legacy of the twenty six year old that in just a moment. with . science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we. covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is. going to the big picture.

more news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets and canada. giant corporations today. live from moscow this is. twenty people have been killed by a double blast in syria in the northern city of aleppo let's get details now correspondent paula who joins us live here on. thank you for joining us on the program so quickly it can you tell us about the target for the. well what we

understand is that an explosion has rocked aleppo university in the northern syrian city unconfirmed reports suggest that twenty people have been killed and dozens more wounded syrian state television is calling it a terrorist bombing although from activists there on the ground they say that at this point because it is unclear we are hearing from some sources that there were two explosions in near the university's adorns but it is not immediately clear whether the blasts were the result of shells or bombs now several vehicles are also on fire the university is located in an area that is under the control of government forces fighting between rebels and government forces in aleppo has reached a stalemate and has left the city divided. paula do you think are we getting a lot of reports about various attacks that are been going on for quite some time now and that was one country but you do think terrorist attacks themselves are

a growing trend at this point. will certainly be witnessing an increased in terrorist activity if we just look at aleppo aleppo was the commercial hub of syria before fighting erupted last july it's been a major front in the country's ongoing fighting between government troops and rebels frequently exchanging rockets and mortar rounds in the city over recent months and it can also be country's capital damascus has been hit by a wave of explosions that have killed scores of people many of the bombings which have largely targeted government buildings and government institutions have been claimed by groups fighting to overthrow the syrian president bashar assad now elsewhere in syria on tuesday troops and rebels fought in the embattled suburbs of damascus and certainly the fall the billion is only the stabilizing the situation in the country making extremist activity not possible at all it is our policy there joining us live on the program thank you. well we are coming to you live

from moscow here in r.t. it's now a nearly twenty minutes past seven in the evening and e.u. leaders seeking to concentrate more power in brussels they may face a setback from the union's most reliable member of course that being germany thousands signed a petition against the european stability mechanism which would allow the block to use members' funds to help other states in trouble and the germans aren't exactly happy about letting someone else decide where their money goes he's pretty or all of a found out. there's a rising feeling here in germany that it's not the germans who were really in charge of their country. the government has taken the sovereign rights of the german people and given them away to bureaucrats in brussels specifically with regards to currency this is a painful injury to the sovereignty of germany the issue is said to be fought out in the e.u. second tie is to court this group calling themselves the civil coalition movement

want to stop germany's fiscal future being decided by the european central bank particularly how much german cash goes to the eurozone countries and set the pressure to democracy because it's no longer the governments who have to make a policy but is the european central central bank deciding which policy is paid for over five thousand people back their petition as they look to challenge one of the most common pieces of perceived wisdom in europe that germany is the success story in the eurozone there was no other country which had so little benefits out of the euro if you come to look to the numbers according to their legal team those numbers showed germany being forced to pay for the euro zone countries despite this not being part of the deal when the single currency was created finance isn't the only place where germans feel

a grip is slipping one former german foreign minister gave different reasons why they may be issues with sovereignty suggesting that they have their root in the memory of the country's past but sometimes we shy back from our responsibility as our room states this is a problem not that we are pressed from the outside the defense is also a concern for those who believe germany is losing control of its sovereignty the country is still home to nato bases over twenty years after the end of the. cold war germany today faces no major military threats nor does any european state and that's why this gigantic military machine that the americans have built up is completely unlike christic there appear to be historical cultural and economic reasons why some germans feel this sovereignty is disappearing and for a group of lawyers getting ready for their legal battle with the european central plank twenty thirteen look set to be an important year and what they see is the

fight to return german rule to the german people peter all of a r.t. berlin. or certainly big money matters on both sides of the atlantic and the shady dealers causing financial rollercoasters exposed as usual in the latest edition of the kaiser report that will be coming up next hour here on r.t. but for now a preview three weeks ago the s.e.c. not the commodities futures trading commission but their securities and exchange commission approved it they essentially it legalized hoarding. in the form of a controversial fund designed by j.p. morgan chase that for the first time will the investors buy shares backed by physical warehouse copper to use as a form of investment according to economists in america and the bomb an administration saving is a bad thing because if somebody one person savings is another person's loss of spending why are why is wall street interested now hoarding vital commodities

because they know that as inflation hyper inflation currency collapse rears its ugly head j.p. morgan wants to be there after having made money and totally destroying the system with the revenue if they want to repeat the trick by totally destroying the economy by hoarding commodities. do stay with us for the cause report was a theory a bit later in the day here not a fan of the violent clashes between police and protesters have flared up in bahrain once again as an outraged crowd went to the funeral of one of the activists the elderly man died after inhaling poisonous tear gas at a previous rally the opposition blamed security officers for dozens of killings using a home full substances i asked my daughter which show who is one of the activists says police tend to shoot for questions later. the hearing has been using tear gas canisters or as i like to call it toxic gases against citizens even in

their houses not even protestant and the streets in a personal experience that happened to me and division with me is that i am nearly nine months pregnant and just now before few hours of this interview our house was like targeted by pure gas canisters and the smell stormed into the house. that that effect of a tear gas excessive use of tear gas that is being thrown into the houses effect people i can use tens of months ago we have been and the servicing gone they have amount to kyrgyz as being used in resentful areas and houses and against peaceful across the stars and we are very disappointed at the international community reaction especially the e.u. as and the u.k. position and toured the behavior of dilution and being being an ally and applying

double standards when it comes to dealing with this situation in. cardiff head over to our web site r t dot com a lot of things online for you including crying wolf right here in russia the threat is real this time though the publics in siberia are authorising hunting the animals down due to their fondness for livestock. also online the dreamliner that can take you to your worst nightmares the list of problems being boeing's brand new aircraft continues to grow its complaints of fuel leaks becoming more common find out more and on to dot com. for now though the lawyer who represented aaron schwartz says he warned us or thora to use his client was a suicide risk the twenty six year old activist faced decades behind bars over accusations here illegally downloaded academic documents for public use schwartz's family who claim prosecutors were complicit in his death had received tens of

thousands of online messages in support and rick fox and i t entrepreneur and founder of the swedish pirate party says there's a lot of information out there that should be free to whoever who wants it. you could easily say that for instance military secrets or medical journals should not be free to distribute because it violates privacy by those national security but in terms of access to knowledge in public public documents and records. certainly committed not no crime and that even goes with the law or so war the federal prosecution did was throw the book at him in the way this had been obtained in terms of how he had walked into the technical university mit in the united states and set up a laptop to download these public dock public documents so they were throwing the book at him to make an example out of spreading knowledge and i think that is

a terrible terrible thing to do setting and spreading knowledge was never bad for anyone. now starting with belfast where protesters are angry at a decision to stop flying the british flag in the city hold in belfast of a clash with police at least one officer and a bus driver have been injured this is the latest eruption of violence in seven weeks of demonstrations over one hundred police have so far been hurt in that time eighty five people charged for offenses related to the rioting. a train carrying a young army recruits has derailed south of cairo killing nineteen and injuring more than one hundred number of expected to rise according to authorities that egypt's railways have a poor safety record last november more than fifty died when a train crashed into a school bus. just a few minutes thank you for which.

here. from the world talks about six of the interviews intriguing story. i tell you. that troy arabic to find out more visit are a big don't know it's called. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had luck i got so many i mean it's a challenge i know that i'm sitting seems really really messed up. in the old story so personally apologize it's a little worse for the little thing the white house or the. radio guy and for a minute they click. on what the local are about to do because you never seen anything like this i'm told.

i'm abby martin this is a break in the set so in light of the recent epidemic of rape going on in india and the absolute disregard for women from the police force there the people of india decided to take a stand recently over six hundred guitarists and gargling gathered together to play john lennon's imagine a memorial tribute to the twenty three year old gang rape victim the concept behind this was to imagine in india where women didn't have to live in fear every subject to ridicule for something that they're the victim of this is just another gesture to go along with a countrywide protest calling for better safety and legal protections for women look we all know that playing guitar won't prevent rape but the point of this is that this is the kind of act that brings awareness that starts the conversation and that starts to change so let's keep moving forward let's break this up.
