a complete information blackout american citizens are spied upon by their own f.b.i. but the bureau refuses to explain who they're tracking or why they're being targeted . live from moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now it's five pm here in the russian capital our top story now millions of israelis are queuing up ballot boxes as the country holds us not part of the mentoring election but few doubt who will win with predictions of an even more right wing and hardline government at the core of the vote are three issues rocketing living cost iran's nuclear ambitions and the peace with the palestinians owing his on to his. uncompromising stance

incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected to not only hold onto power but solidify his sway over israel one of his positions giving him a boost this settlement construction an issue that's isolated israel internationally filmmaker nimrod calmer known for his off the documentaries have been looking at the occupied territory property. my name is no more than israeli citizen living here among. you one housing prices of it all time high the thing is there is another new one in jerusalem but i can also live among ourselves and i think i can get there much better do the wise over the. would like to see the flat i'm here with some investors from england. we want to invest in this area because i'm hearing the property value might go up he's going to be the one flat is one million shekels is photos for that and they're building

that this whole new area it's called zero eight and one begins of despite a few haters in the us almost all these really political parties support the building and selling charming flats on palestinian land the latest talks he won east of jerusalem hello i'm here to show your client wants to buy property in this area is a big you want to invest to understand it's the only building currently built but if i can show him more. outposts. and no one except. two state solution who cares as long as the property is cheap there's a jew man living i want to you know my jewishness and like be in touch with my roots. so it's all jewish yeah yeah any known jewish parts because. not from here many people so you. it's not being constructive in the peace process

but look how many settlements it constructed i'm hoping. to build a new settlement. this is the future for israel i believe and i'm afraid that if i buy that house and i get a document saying it's mine some day palestinians can scam and say no it's not yours because i keep listening to that in the u.k. . you see. there's history. there's just one thing and. it's funny how those small actions had like international meaning. the moving of stones like monumentally. it's like messing with international law. this is the most disputed area you never noticed it just because people told us. but he says it is like a good place to build a new flat you think they'll be like because my friends want to be like to buy

something before we even constructed i was coming off. it says this is the fail stone being set for the new god willing a few one facing the holy capital of his i pay so much money for rent in london in one in london and here. and in the big city. comfortable it all starts here so beautiful all of us is ours. you can look down and palestinians this is the new area being built opens if you want i just call this real estate it's called hideout three they send all the flats in this part of town and they say no to see them and it will never be evacuated today selling more and more cleaners of the city and all the bills are robbed you should be jewish label. me.

i want to see an. agent to get to the all the legalities. of. you selling your house by any chance that. my life. now earlier i talked to the man behind bad film about his real estate tore through occupied territory and them on camera painted

a very opportunistic picture of settlement mentality. some of the people i talked to never going to. give up their house. into the settlement of the entire west bank and they told me that jordan is also the kind of part of the do it just call they told me that if someone is going to a victim which they don't believe but if people going to happen they're going to even make more money because the government will pay them compensation if you just go buy a float you can sell it to local jewish americans so did you actually buy into this . i mean i bought money with me and i didn't go all the way there but just got the best deal and i almost bought it because why didn't i buy it if it was such a good deal you could make lots of money presumably yeah i mean. i am

jewish actually not. thirty two parties are vying for one hundred twenty seats in the knesset and already their leaders are talking coalitions and the division of power will keep you updated with news and analysis of what they're up to through the day and beyond the close of the polls which is that midnight t.v. . how will change with to run develop we'll settle it expands just isolate can there be peace with gaza what's next in relations with america we'll let you know who survive his snuff election on january twenty second. israel decides. well it's of glitz and berlin as german and french leaders celebrate fifty years of their country's alliance the hugs and handshakes come despite their not yet agreeing on how to cure the eurozone debt contagion or overcome deep foreign policy divisions assessing whether there's more lows than highs in franco german relations

right now here's peter all over. well it's certainly a meeting that's filled with pomp and circumstance but they as they celebrate the formal icing of the friendship between former foes but what we are seeing though is that they're hoping that the celebration can pay for over some of the divisions between europe's power couple of course france and germany the two major economies and the well the two biggest voices in europe really when it comes to how to tackle the eurozone crisis to see more spending to promote growth where is the american. gun saying it's only through austerity that any kind of problems in the eurozone can be perhaps fixed now there's also rising concern here in germany over the state of the french economy the german people and german finance is looking elba shoulder thinking well we don't want to get caught up cold if you'll recall and he sneezes it was

a expected that the french economy went into recession at the end of twenty twelve hours also when it comes to. over defense military matters germany and france not agreeing. from sydney to suing a policy of intervention we've seen not in libya we're also seeing that right now in mali where was germany they have said that they were going to contribute any of their troops in this was backed up by. the finance minister here in germany and a key member of anglo merkel's christian democrat party but he said that germany didn't want to be a major player in foreign policy said going on to say that well after hitler and auschwitz how could they be a major player so there is a difference there between how fronts views its place in the wider world how germany does based on well the two countries relative history so this meeting all smiles and handshakes however they are some deep underlying cracks in the relationship between europe's power couple. berlin based political scientists judy

is very clear believes that francois along the thames to counterbalance germany's sturdy push will only prolong europe's agony. well i mean certainly that was something that was very important for him in his election campaign and it was an important aspect in getting re-elected and he has had the minor success of having the growth pact to the fiscal pact but you know i think that. troika are very focused on their storage of politics and i don't think there'll be an agreement that was before the cold war it was germany that carried the economic weight and france that carried the political weight now there has been a shift towards political weight for germany as well at least from a french perspective so that certainly has made cooperation more difficult. hundreds of thousands of people gathered to watch barack obama's inauguration speech after he was sworn in as u.s. president for a second term pleasure to support democracy across the world we hear why many

experts believe more bombs could fall as the u.s. looks set to continue with its aggressive foreign policy that's coming up later this hour. and jordan prepares for its not part of the mentary election with the u.s. backed monarchy saying it's the beginning of reform the powerful muslim brotherhood boycott the vote saying it's a gimmick and change isn't happening fast enough. americans are being kept in the dark about how and why they're being followed by the nation's security agency a civil liberties group in the u.s. ask the f.b.i. to spell out what techniques it's using when it tracks citizens but is going to can explains the reply raised more questions than answers. everybody knows that the f.b.i. uses all sorts of tracking devices on cars cell phones and whatnot everything that can carry g.p.s. the american civil liberties union filed the request under the freedom of

information act asking for the justice department to review the f.b.i.'s guidelines their internal memos as to how and under what circumstances they track people as of now there is no clear understanding among americans of when they will be subjected to tracking possibly for months at a time or whether the government will first get a warrant this is the justice department's response more than one hundred pages of completely redacted material except for the title so to the question how when and why the government can track its citizens the f.b.i. responded with this takes a lot of ink to print out something like this some artistic souls may think of the painting black square by live each we're certainly not sure of the artistic intentions of the u.s. justice department or the meanings they put into these black pages but for civil liberties advocates here this is what government secrecy looks like actually it was last month when president obama signed a bill that essentially allows the government to spy on anyone they want under some

kind of a general warrant as opposed to an individual warrant in other words it allows the national security agency to vacuum up as much private communication as possible with something like a promise on the authorities part to be really careful about when and how they look at it but civil liberties advocates argue that the bill of rights is not about the government promises of good intentions but about legal guarantees so president obama may be very convincing when he talks about individual freedoms we heard the words in his inaugural speech this monday. but here is the f.b.i. version of their freedom. later today max kinds of explains why america's to tear policing means arrests for activities he had freedom for financier's the kaiser reports here at four thirty pm g.m.t. . threshold over which the us government has passed in terms of tyranny has been passed they passed it when they got rid of

habeas corpus they passed it when they went through at the end the day they passed it when they started to murder us citizens extrajudicial they passed it with the bradford manning case bradley manning there are always in any case a passage that they've already passed a threshold of tyranny so why are americans sitting there thumb up their spring training talking about well if tyranny comes that's why i don't i find it hypocritical. i'll be back with more news after a short break with our city. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of. over six to two percent of patients. with this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about they were really good public health

our table live from moscow well after two years of simmering and sometimes violent protests against corruption and that the authorities jordan is finally getting a parliamentary election they can call the vote to appease those demanding change but is this the caffein of now reports it threatens to push the country further into crisis. beneath the calm facade here in jordan is a simmering crisis the kingdom has remained relatively stable amid the wave of regimes falling in the arab spring wednesday's parliamentary elections are part of the reform efforts undertaken by the government in an attempt to quell popular dissatisfaction. i'm optimistic that our political system has taken a big step forward if a parliament wants to join respect the very first thing it needs is to be elected as a result of the fair election that's what our future parliament is going to be but a balanced parliament just something that is highly unlikely to come out of this

election is being boycotted by georgia's most powerful political movement the muslim brotherhood citing a new law that critics claim gives an unfair advantage to regime loyalists the islamists and their allies have branded the elections as worthless. one of the most like why do people take part in the spectacle called the parliamentary elections elections the way they are no and all the pertaining rules the way they are cannot be taken seriously they do not represent the people's will band in many mideast states up until the arab spring jordan's branch of the muslim brotherhood has been a licensed political party for decades but seeing as own contemporaries come to power in egypt and tunisia it is now openly seeking a much larger role but one muslim one of. the muslim brotherhood a boycotting the elections because this lore is not in their interest but other parties are boycotting the elections because they will be held according to democratic law. there to meet with king abdullah and says that he's serious about

you know as an american i have trouble keeping track of where our troops are these days where we're intervening and so for me to try and predict where it's happening not to mention that there are secret operations going on around the world. do we have our troops in over one hundred countries and we must we intervene in the election processes in other places so there's not really any real. activity to do things other than militarily i'm a libertarian the way i'd like to see us affect other country's policies is by setting a good example of how other countries should act i don't want to source democracy or freedom at the point of a gun or airstrikes and i don't want to impose that on other countries. creaming off some tasty profits i should say while millions struggle to feed themselves wall
