1:02 pm
meanwhile here in the capital the ultra ultra high school football fans who were the ones targeted in the massacre in february last year cuban scenes when they heard the verdict a gathering at their headquarters saying finally justice had been president mohamed morsi council travel plans to spend a good and has been meeting with the national defense council to try and come up with a way of resolving this deepening crisis i've just come from a street off a square where the clashes continue between protesters and security forces spilling over from of course the clashes yesterday on the second anniversary of generation five revolution speaking to people in the clashes and also those behind me here in the square there saying they're still very upset with the president who they believe has not made any changes opposition coalition the national salvation front had a press conference recently and declared five demands saying they believe the present moment morsi is not capable of bringing the country they've called for
1:03 pm
a national salvation government to take over in the interim early presidential elections and that all whom we call seeing the parliamentary elections which is set to happen in april so there's a lot of anger here just from a political level as well as from a street level in a background of continuing violence and division across the country. well for instance update right from the egyptian capital where bell has literally just come under tear gas attack you can follow her on twitter at poultry. and khaled el shaarawy editor of all could newspapers told me that the people of egypt have grown increasingly disillusioned with the politics of the muslim brotherhood. we voted for them to give a good chance. at the last. for most of the people who are out in the streets to the people in egypt now to realize that.
1:04 pm
religion and politics should be mixed clearly and some. would use slam and religion to get the support of the people and once the are being would in a very very differently from what the been promising and that's part one of the reasons of their anger you are seeing today in this three to egypt americans want to ensure and secure their interests in egypt but now the leader of the united states nor morsi himself much say in what's happening to the people of egypt who are back in the streets. afraid of the regime egypt was at the forefront of the pro-democracy uprisings in the middle east the us supported the revolts hoping that barack obama's promise of change for the region would bear fruit however after
1:05 pm
a wave of anti-american protests all the hopes his famous carre speech try to inspire have been dashed. investigates why i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world words of promise that field of religion with hope but as obama begins his second term in office his critics failed him in the first term. expectations progress on peace between israelis and palestinians remain stored the promised economic development of afghanistan never took root. and american relations with post mubarak egypt deteriorated and i didn't just the us and ellen just community has more or less thought that it was in control of something called the muslim brotherhood and they brought them from egypt into saudi arabia and i think they thought they could just break out of that was it all they could have. asked are was or are
1:06 pm
and they're fighting now that i'm not leaking oil also but just in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies touting it as a great advance to blitz security engineer rights but the fallout from it ended with the death of the american ambassador and three other members of his staff the united states was overselling their so-called triumph over al-qaeda in a way that was really quite dishonest and dangerous because it was essentially setting the united states up for situations where. elsewhere was still not just strong but getting stronger and was getting stronger because of policies that the united states had followed and it was washington's politics that did little to win palestinians over to obama's side washington was against the upgraded status of palestine at the united nations angering but not surprising and still i i would say that the people in general.
1:07 pm
stop thinking of him as a somebody who will do. us any favor or any good we realize that all our expectations which were very high turned out to be zero as a matter of fact islamophobia inside the united states is on the increase help to no small part of by the growing negative portrayal of the muslim world in the media and hollywood recent polls show overall confidence in obama has dropped especially in muslim countries we were declined by nine percent in three years global approval of his international policies is also decreased from a positive rating of thirty four percent in the muslim world in two thousand and nine to just fifteen percent in two thousand and twelve obama came just beautified the ugly face that bush left it's american interests that lead american presidents
1:08 pm
the only difference is that while one president smiles the other doesn't and the american system and the american interest in the middle east are the problem it's not that issue it is it is a political issue and that's why i didn't have a lot of hope that the arab antipathy has not been softened by a promise of the arab spring or his military withdrawal from iraq few american presidents have lost their good standing with the arab world as quickly and as significantly as a bomber for him now to renew trust in america he'll have to do more than just promise a new beginning in a cairo speech policy r.t. tel aviv. former cia officer john kiriakou has been sentenced to two and a half years behind bars for leaking classified intelligence his supporters of call for the sentence to be reduced saying the real reason behind the punishment was him going public on washington's torture tactics but a federal judge rejected arguments he was acting as a whistleblower when he leaked a covert agents name to
1:09 pm
a reporter by e-mail. veteran retired in two thousand and four was. spoken about the use of secret interrogations and waterboarding by the u.s. he could have been sentenced to eight years in prison had he not secured a plea deal with prosecutors or through an act of a civil lebanese believes that inside his will be targeted and punished for making a stand as long as u.s. authorities continue to cover up wrongdoing that. we do see this type of witch hunt action against those who lead you formation that exposes either government criminality or government waste fraud abuse so this is a selective behind we haven't had a single case where whistleblowers have been successful by pursuing those so-called channels bringing remedies or solutions that these very big problems are wrongdoings so when you have no channels there is only one option and that is to
1:10 pm
get information and put it before the public whether it's through our website such as we or public citizens journalists because as you know mainstream media they act as the extension of the government here in the united states there are no other channels to go to and the public has their right to know and the good guide is a very important key point the public and i'm not talking about only people here in the united states but all over the world because people are being a fact that they are the ones who are being criminalized. the loudest thing coming from the historic baikonur cosmodrome of late has not been the roar of russian rockets but rather a row over the environmental impact because external demands are now threatening to derail russia's entire space program that well you might call the researchers project. about the story baikonur has been the launch pad for soviet and russian space exploration program of course men's first ever space
1:11 pm
flight took off from that very base but now from that a lustrous past it's facing an uncertain future with speculation of could even be abandoned now moscow is currently leasing the cosmodrome for a hefty over one hundred million dollars but it's fears of environmental damage that's causing concern for the more specifically they are concerned over the launch of proton is with the fuel tanks which are said by the craft after liftoff containing traces of rocket fuel which would you believe it is highly toxic but for moscow's point of view is a huge annual rental fee together with the jobs provided to local people make the leasing arrangements a highly positive one for us tonight but just days ago both the russian and foreign ministers tried to gloss over any signs of friction they have assured the media that any so-called space war is not happening and a mutual agreement has been reached for the future between the two countries many people know nasa budget has certainly been slashed by washington although india and
1:12 pm
china have got surging space programs we know that russia really has the busiest space program in the world that must mean they have some but it must have some pretty big plans for the near or not too distant future russia does keep its options open first of all the are working on the new cosmodrome which is called of us torch me it means eastern in russian and as you may have guessed it's going to be located in the far east near the border with china and now construction has begun just two years ago and russian space agency. of course most. should have two of its launch pads fully operational by twenty fifteen twenty eighteen at the latest and that will mark the beginning of the most a step for the country's space exploration program in decades to the moon by twenty twenty says of course most adding they want to establish lunar bases and finish it all off with a manned trip to mars by twenty thirty and if these plans seem too otherworldly to

institute of economic affairs in london has told me that the government should have a different approach to such a burning issue. of course we need to bear in mind when you look back actually a couple of years later often these numbers are revised up or down so we shouldn't really trust them to the very last decimal point what we've seen it appears over twenty twelve is not the british economy absolutely tanking but basically flat lining and that is pretty much been the picture for the last two years it's not a crushing recession but it's certainly not a parent's back certainly what the coalition government here in the u.k. are doing isn't working if the i used to produce growth rates or two or three percent and indeed the government's independent forecasters suggested two years ago that we would be experiencing those sort of levels in growth of the u.k. economy about now i'm afraid that was turned out. but let's be clear about this austerity target. but you for a lot does think that the u.k.

government has persuaded itself and most of the media and all of their political opponents to get there is some savage program of spending cuts being undertaken in the united kingdom that's a long way from the truth when you actually look at the numbers of the political rhetoric the government is cutting spending by about one percent a year a pretty trivial amount and they are taking far too long to bring the budget back into balance but you also need i think a clearer plan but what's really going to attract business investment in the u.k. and what's going to make it easier for entrepreneurs twenty three minutes past the hour now in the russian capital some other world news in brief in our brutal prison riot has reportedly left at least fifty people dead in northwest venezuela vice president nicolas maduro has described the incident as a tragedy but there's been no confirmation of the exact number of casualties and right erupted after local media reported the troops had been sent to prison to
