responded with us civil liberties groups demanding to know exactly how americans are being monitored it received a blank leaving them more in the. pleasure to have you with us here today. live in moscow with news from around the world. now the u.k.'s prime minister is threatening to split the european hard to give the british people of vote on whether to leave if brussels doesn't agree to some major changes although that will only happen if he wins the next election in a landmark speech david cameron hit out at the union's closer integration saying it should recognise the diversity of its members unquote not snuff it out let's get

more details on the. e.u. today so cameron finally got the referendum off what do you think about the results of what he had to say. essentially what he was trying to say is that he believed that britain and also members of the european union would be more prosperous if they just pretty much concentrated on the single market and if brussels gave their european members more autonomy over their own economic policy he says that so often that britain particularly during this economic crisis has had to abide by directives given to it from brussels and that has not been good for the economy he says that within the e.u. at the moment there are one size fits all policies which basically just don't work and he says that you have to appreciate that the european union and countries within it are diverse and they should have greater powers on how they operate he

did stress that if changes weren't made he felt that countries within the e.u. would become weaker he also mentioned that he felt that north africa and asian economies were becoming stronger and so change was crucial and if trick change did not come there was every chance that britain could head for exit he also stressed that the feeling within britain at the moment is that people are becoming disillusioned with the european union simply because it is not democratic the bureaucrats in brussels are not held accountable for many of the decisions they are they taking and so he feels at the moment that the way forward is to renegotiate the terms of membership with the new particularly concentrating on the single market issue and you talk about people in britain not being pleased with the way the e.u. is headed you talk about economic issues policies also that don't work there are many that say that cameron was under a lot of pressure to make this speech you think indeed the words you had to say was

a result of pressure on him or something else. well undoubtedly i would say because for many months now there have been a growing number of euro skeptics within his own tory party they are demanding that the conservatives do try and renegotiate their deals with the view and renegotiate their relationship secondly he is in between a rock and a hard place because he's in a coalition government at the moment with the liberals who are against this stance so what you see today is a man who is trying to appease those euro skeptics within his own party but maybe he's weaving a very clever political path because he is saying that i will make this my election pledge so we are banking on this to win the next election for the conservatives within the joran if that happens then we can hold this referendum so i think he's trying to please those people who have. been annoyed with his european

stance within his own party but also he's saying that look none of this is actually going to happen unless we win the election it's very confident that this single issue could do that alone and then we would have the referendum so maybe he's politically being very clever he can also say also to the european union members that look if we do believe the year this wasn't my decision of course i'm just following the mandate of my electorate it's very interesting what you say. about cameron or ultimately trying to address the issues or people dissatisfied with the way the is headed but also saying that he's trying to appease many parties here he's also putting it off to really truly address it until the next election i understand it was only just a couple of hours ago he made the address however any reaction so far from britain's e.u. partners. well yes and it will continue through the day and it does mirror the reaction that some of them were giving yesterday because there are elements of this speech were leaked to the press and the dutch prime minister for example was saying

look britain cannot really expect to just cherry pick which legislation it wants to sign up to in the european union. that is not what the european union is based on it's based on common policy if you like everybody just to cherry pick well then where would we be barack obama has also said he's been in touch with david cameron . urging him to stay within european union because he believes that is essential for peace and for economic prosperity so there's a lot of pressure against david cameron for doing this but as you say there's a bit of a stop gap here he's allowed to say this to a pace's euro skeptics within his own party he doesn't actually have to take any action for a number of years yet firstly the conservatives have to win by majority the next election in two thousand and fifteen and then any referendum probably would not happen until twenty seventy it's still a long way down the road and you farmer there live in london thank you. now the u.s. has begun airlifting french troops to mali standing support for the intervention by

its nato ally comes libyan islamist are accused of helping those responsible for a deadly hostage siege in algeria an attack which was in response to the french operation morgan an expert on west africa says paris has underestimated the size of the fallout from its venture into mali. this is a very strange and very diverse some very kind of collide scoffing at people you have the hard core of the al qaeda in the islamic magreb find says now they are very very hard and fighters that have been out there for almost a decade they know the region very very well you know the desert is that absolute home you also have the rebels who basically decided to put their faith in a yeah don't garley is this islamist leader this strong man he's basically seduce a lot of to ari into joining his islamist cause now they'll be at home they know

that there's a that's their territory their soup fights and they specialize in this kind of hit and run guerrilla tactics so strike very fast and then they'll disappear into the desert possibly even over the borders and we know that the attack on javelin this town about four hundred kilometers northeast of bamako was launched from across the border remarked that will be a huge problem for the for the for the kind of france so it's. for the next hour or . so will discuss whether intervention in mali is part of a bigger campaign against islam and what lessons can be learned from previous attempts to fight terror all that and more in cost. is that where civil military intervention in mali still another example of the west's overall war against islam has it ever been one instance when an outside intervention in the name of fighting terrorism has ever produced peace stability and democracy and with the lessons of blowback ever be learned.

it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today two men have been arrested in the u.k. for being part of a vigilante group calling themselves muslim patrol video footage shows youths harassing people telling them they have entered an islamic area and should therefore obey show real law and saudis for thousand or so even though some muslim leaders in london have condemned the group is still causing a lot of anger. it is land a vigilante group that's what they call themselves a small number of people who were going up to members of the public in areas of london and confronting them saying that they were implementing a law and that this was a muslim area and they were demanding people throw away the alcohol they were insulting to women telling them to cover up produce a very good rate british not so great britain not so great britain bronislaw you

look at this like he's got himself implemented all next this got uploaded on c.t. tens of thousands of people saw it the original video got me false a police investigation started but once again you know that goes around so it's still an etihad right now and again tens of thousands of hits so a lot of concern here i think because obviously it's gone viral say speak a lot of people are saying this very threatening behavior from a small group of the certainly causing a lot of concern here that that's going to stir up tension one of the people in the . it's not a miss america as a shari'a law but obviously we've seen that this is a debate the really does inflame pensions and causes a lot of control this thing and i think the muslim community core c.-k. really have come out to condemn what this small graves done and to try to distance themselves from of the east london mosque saying that it was designed to stoke up tensions so that there's very much i don't this is on distancing themselves from

that type of behavior but certainly this is part of a why did debate in the area of london where the police think that this video was filmed in east london is an area that see this argument come up a number of times over the past couple of years with fundamentalist leaks in these areas making a lot of noise about wanting to relaunch implemented in the end it is a very touchy subject for a lot of people as we said very threatening behavior in those videos and as a muslim community here in the case being you know very very trying to highlight is that this is a very small group but of course as it has gone around the internet a lot of people seeing us and say this small great taking these front threatening actions obviously having a much wider impact. hard a time for you to get involved with us here at r.t. on the web site r.t. dot com we've been asking you what you think the actions of the so-called muslim patrol will lead to here are the options you can choose from right there just to mention a couple of them for you for example that might result in an increase in muslim

fundamentalism or increase or reprisal attacks from groups like the national front or down to the final option for you to choose from it'll create growing discord in mixed london communities off to r.t. dot com we go now bring up the numbers for you to see how your voting and the numbers have been changing from hour to hour those still in the top position here first of all first and foremost the majority of the voters from r.t. dot com saying this will simply cause a growing discord in mixed communities what else will result from the actions of the muslim patrol in london coming in a second place that will cause a rise in religious tensions in the u.k. down to the third position now it will prompt reprisal vigilantism from groups for example like the national front and now the smallest number of voters are tea dot com saying it will cause an increase in muslim fundamentalism where we always invite you to get involved with our stories r.t. dot com we're still taking your votes are just a click away do join us there of course the web site r.t. dot com.

this is. now some of the world's. it is. next month. with the latest. head of the g. twenty meeting that will take place in st petersburg russia this year of course hosted by president vladimir putin we have private is said to me medvedev here in

davos switzerland at the economic forum he's going to be going on to the states today we've got lots of fareed for him peabo in the audience of course no less than fifty heads of state and he's going to be talking about the role of the russian economy and in particular talking about and substances and scenarios that face the russian economy this including the price of oil also institutional reform the pace of that of course he'll be talking about the g. twenty summit taking place in september this year in st petersburg and also talking about the general debate of how to spur growth along with the international monetary fund christine like all those old on the agenda today and i'm going to be providing coverage in the business both in at six thirty g.m.t. a. lot but it comes from the davos are you working on the forum here not to say jordanians or choose a parliament in the first poll off the arab spring uprisings resulted in the region why the lines of the muslim brotherhood is boycotting the polls and calling for

protests after a drawdown they will suffer beyond rest thought it had avoided. and we could have a series of messages online claiming that a suicidal internet activist aaron swartz was close to the whistle blowing web site details of that story in just a few. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't i'm tom harkin is a big. what mystery is hidden deep beneath. visitors

are not welcome here. traps are laid for intruders. and the supernatural can arise from nowhere. can a human be possessed by the spirit. mistress of the cave on r.t. . from moscow there was a lot of talk about democracy and individual freedoms in president obama's inaugural speech this week but it's the privacy of millions that may be most at threat a civil liberties group in the u.s. has demanded to know exactly what techniques the f.b.i.

uses to track citizens as artie's guy nature can explains the reply simply raised more questions. 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 swear 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. another high profile internet freedom activist who took

his life earlier this month after he was prosecuted for alleged hacking may evoke close links to wiki leaks now the whistle blowing group came forward with a surprise revelations on aaron swartz on his twitter feed as you can see right here with the leaks has published several statements suggesting the late activist was assisting them and one of the tweets says that swartz was in a communication with the founder julian assange for several years and is strongly believed to be a source of information now the investigation into his activity you saw him threatened with up to work thirty five years behind bars well for more information or you can go on the case of aaron swartz so we actually spoke exclusively to internet entrepreneur kim dot com now fighting extradition to the u.s. over piracy charges the founder of the maker upload and the maker services and a backer of internet freedom told us here about see the chase going after schwartz was nothing but political aaron schwartz i mean he stopped so power with his

efforts he stopped and he became a target a political target ok and that's why all these things happened to him there's no reasonable or. course behind going after a young jr like that in the fashion they did it's political you can see the full interview with kim dotcom here on r.t. this thursday that will be an abbey markings breaking the set. for now russia's foreign minister has held a major news conference looking back at the key international events and ups and downs of the past year sort of level of stress that the world is going through an unprecedented transition period with current events reshaping the geo political map r.t.g. a good place going off reports. one of the issues talked about said the very start of this conference was the conflict in syria and according to russia's foreign minister it's been going on for around two years now but there's still no evidence after it from the international community to get its sides to put their weapons

down actually said that the a one sided approach seen by most western states is only encouraging the rebels to gauge in more violence which will use to more bloodshed now another issue actually another conflict also talked about at this conference is france led military intervention in mali and russia's chief diplomat said that what's happening there now is actually a consequence to how many western states dealt with other conflicts in the region for instance the weapons clearly used by islamists in the fight against government forces other scene weapons which were supplied to libyan rebels by western states but of course it's not only about libya syria and mali according to the foreign minister the whole region is a trouble spot and the lack of a unified approach by the international community and double standards are only worsening the situation where terrorist groups including al qaeda are beginning to gain more and more influence now the foreign minister also mentioned iran saying

that it is very very important player in the region and any military attack on it would lead to severe consequences right into the are that we go starting with almost eighty russians who have fled water on syria have arrived at moscow from lebanon two planes were sent to pick them up mostly women and children foreign minister insists the move is not part of a full scale evacuation a syrian conflict for the last two years claimed at least sixty thousand lives. and benjamin netanyahu was famous victory in israel's general election but his party still suffered a major setback by losing seats and then yahoo now has to persuade other political forces to join him in a coalition one of them is. surprised former t.v. news anchor. going to push netanyahu to get the middle east peace process go. if it's to make peace with the palestinians is what the international community

will be hoping for but ramsey but who would the palestinian chronicle dot com says its mentality and political will that are really blocking the talks there is no peace process there hasn't been any peace process for years and most likely there would not be peace process under an attorney or under the mentality by which israel is governed in fact i think there is too much emphasis on netanyahu while in reality netanyahu is a reflection or an expression of a growing tendency of israel this is a that is either oblivious to the peace process as in the center of this or that if just and of course the ultra nationalists and the and the ultra orthodox that are fundamentally and essentially opposed to any compromises or any discussion with palestinians that will concede an inch of what they consider the rightful home of the historic home of the jewish people. now jordanians are heading to the polls in a parliamentary election boycotted by the largest opposition party of course the

muslim brotherhood is the first time the prime minister will be chosen and not appointed by the king but the opposition claims it's an imitation campaign so while islamists are not fighting for votes they are promising protests. and off reports it may well result in the kind of unrest the kingdom managed to avoid during the arab spring beneath the calm facade here in jordan is a simmering crisis the kingdom has remained relatively stable i meant 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 enjoy respect to 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 likely why do people take part in the spectacle called the parliamentary elections elections the way they are now 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 its 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 are 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 undemocratic law.

they're dealing with king abdullah and says that he's serious about reform but there are other threats on the horizon. our main problem is economic unemployment and inflation are rising at the same time that the cost of products is soaring there is considerable unrest among the population was the country has long struggled economically and relies heavily on age from western and gulf donors last november saw an eruption of violence nationwide protests over cuts in food and fuel subsidies one of the conditions imposed by the i.m.f. the courtroom billion dollar emergency loan and other financial and political comes . burn is the flood of syrian refugees hundreds of thousands have fled to jordan with more pouring over the border every day there are worries that the syrian conflict may follow its people into the kingdom what islam is striving for more power a tough situation on the border and

a dire economic crisis jordan is finding itself caught between a rock and a hard place due to the boycott the elections are unlikely to produce any meaningful change and the table looks to be in for a long period of uncertainty you see count one of our key amman jordan. remains in jordan closely watching the vote you can follow her updates on twitter and one of the latest messages here she says the muslim brotherhood has warned that in a few days jordan will witness the harm resulting from today's election. or as our special report out of mistrust of the cave starts here in just a couple of minutes on.

wealthy british style it's not on. the credit. markets why not scanlon. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on our t.v. . i don't. see.

so the project is called the mistress of all basically she looks like the silhouette of a woman on the wall. of a spirit in the cave called the mistress of what she lives there it's true she does exist and you'll get the chance to meet her. are you trying to scare me are you being serious you know i'm being serious. or to be in the cave entrances. i would be sure it's the longest gypsum crystal cave in the world. more than five kilometers long and it's the longest water cave in europe. some say it might even become the longest of the earth.
