4:01 pm

4:02 pm
move the demonstration from tahrir square to the parliament building then security forces responded with quite a lot of tear gas the. in downtown cairo is really singing even at this time to it's very hard to breathe when you're outside on the ground those big crowds of white toxic gas they're really making it very hard to breathe they're choking people passing out all over the place was a really you know it's quite correct chaotic scenes here in the capital while moving away from the capital what is the situation import saeed. the situation is definitely escalating in port syeed the violence continues we've got dozens of death the death toll goes up every hour and over three hundred injured the army are still on the streets apparently they've managed to the last reports and secure the area around the prison where the twenty one defendants who are possibly facing the death penalty are being housed but we are getting calls
4:03 pm
from the hospitals for more blood they need blood for the injured and also medical supplies as more and more people are being injured and killed so how is the government and indeed opposition groups reacting to this crisis. when the president was supposed to be traveling he canceled his travel plans as the situation developed in port st he met with his national defense council to discuss the growing crisis across the country well they've said is they may resort to a state of emergency in some of the areas that are the most violence they've also asked for a dialogue with the opposition you for the opposition's part the national salvation front they've released a statement with five demands calling basically for a new national salvation government to take over they've also said they will consider boycotting the parliamentary elections which are due in april and for also asked for early presidential elections what they're saying is basically they don't
4:04 pm
believe that president mohamed morsi is the just minutes and he's not answering any of the demands of the revolution and should therefore step aside now it's definitely been encouraged by people here in tahrir square who are defying that they will not leave the square intil changes have happened well thanks very much indeed for that live update our correspondent there bill true in cairo well now for more analysis i'm now joined live by mark glenn he's a writer for american free press newspaper it is this recent violence just about this verdict this death sentence or is there more to it than the. i think it's just about that sense i think that that's just. the evidence has been clear ever since the uprisings in egypt began two years ago. western intelligence services namely the national endowment for democracy freedom house and other groups have been on the ground now per year since the year that barack obama was elected president two
4:05 pm
thousand and eight and they have basically been there training people on crimes a nonviolent protest and so. it is very. hostile i say that in a very slim sense that this could be something that is a grass roots think in general i think the plan is to keep these countries destabilized and difficult to find their footing because they're much easier to manage in that mysterious such as that all right you know you talk about what west and exterior forces here play but what about what's happening in the way the authorities are dealing with this crisis at the moment thousands of soccer fans are actually express overwhelming support for that verdict which is seems to be a catalyst now for what's going on with this rotting and death but what does it tell us about the divisions egyptian society where we see supporters there in car and those people actually risking their lives and dying over this verdict. yes and
4:06 pm
as i said i will not for a moment discount the not just the possibility but the regular people on the ground here who are genuinely nationally driven for these things but you know these kinds of revolutions they don't happen just overnight they take years of planning and years of all sorts of preparations in order for the seam to take place and yes there's a lot of frustration on the streets in egypt we have just gone through turbulent period were on employment is very high it's really good for families to treat themselves and certainly first to the frustration on the street but in general i cannot help but to think back to the hundreds of news reports that were coming out of egypt many of which going ot and other western media outlets talking about have you had trouble makers on the ground there who were being directed and guided by western intelligence services now not just first ask you then why are we not
4:07 pm
seeing much support now for the protesters or any western influence or perhaps there could be as you may say what's happening now because that obviously western nations u.s. supported that revolution two years ago now we're seeing the protests in the streets what are they doing now we're not hearing much from them. yes that's right and the united states and the west have to come out and support these people who are on the street just having it happen so it can put pressure on morsi in arkansas government in order to agree to certain demands that the united states and israel are making and that the u.s. doesn't necessarily have to come forward and say oh yes we were in support of these people oh no many here i believe is just a mouth it's just an issue of putting pressure on morsi perhaps he and his government are beginning to fear in a certain direction that is not pleasing to the united states and to israel and is that because it is the muslim dominance there mark is that is that because obviously there is a huge worry now among the amongst the egyptians that the islamists are taking over the country is being dominated by the muslim brotherhood and also is that something that should worry the u.s.
4:08 pm
in the western states who after all help this revolution and the united states is now because egypt is. in the western financial aid and western military in that regard egypt is is perfectly safe within the hands of the west in that regard so they are not worried about islamists coming to power no matter what happens as long as egypt has defeated the trap of the international monetary fund and to get the military support from the united states and egypt will become a big client player and will do whatever she is told to do mark great to talk to you thanks so much for time we appreciate it thanks for joining us live here on r.t. thank you one egypt was at the forefront of the pro-democracy uprisings in the middle east the u.s. of course as we've been talking earlier supported the revolts hoping that barack obama's promise of change for the region would bear fruit however after a wave of anti-american protests much of the hope his famous cairo speech try to inspire has been dashed. investigates why. i've come here to
4:09 pm
cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world words of promise westfield a region with hope will respond but as a bomber begins his second term in office his critics failed him want to first term that fell far short of 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 fifty the u.s. and elegance 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 are they could just break out of that was it all they could have. asked r.t. . and then i shouted i'm not leaking oil also. in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies touting it as
4:10 pm
a greater transferability security and human 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 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 instance i would say that the people in general. stop thinking of him as
4:11 pm
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 helped in 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 where 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 to beautified the ugly face that bush left it's american interests that lead american presidents 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
4:12 pm
problem it's not that issue 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 obama's support for the arab spring or his military withdrawal from iraq few american presidents have lost a 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. the largest 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 as it stands demands enough threatening to derail russia's into space program there well in my colleague the research shows specter ortiz i don't know about the dispute. baikonur has been the launch pad for the first soviet and russian space exploration program of course men's first ever space flight took off from that very base but now from that
4:13 pm
a lustrous past it's facing an uncertain future with speculation it could even be abandoned now most cars 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 rockets which with the fuel tanks which are shared 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
4:14 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 we 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 going to be located in the far east near the border with china and the construction has begun just two years ago and russian space agency has 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 and bishes step for the country's space exploration program in decades to the moon by twenty twenty says of course most adding they were. 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 you well they certainly do not look as such to the russian government which has
4:15 pm
approved a budget of true trillion rubles that's roughly seventy five billion years dollars for the space industry until twenty twenty. during not just a fan of privacy check out the clothing that would turn a laser in the skies if any of the drones could see them at all the details on the invisible cloak lace up plus. i don't think people take it as serious as the government in the bios takes its people at home should we should we take it more seriously at the ease up limits you know it's music. he's new york resident downloads a local opinion on whether it's right to file share more or less after this break.
4:16 pm
more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day.
4:17 pm
continues here in r.t. washington is looking to beef up the number of drones manning the skies over the u.s. to tens of thousands by twenty twenty all in the name of national security but a big brother is forcing many americans to search for creative ways to protect their civil liberties or it is in the stars which has more. keeping a close eye on civilians with a little help from drones. in a move approved by congress in seven years the u.s. will help thirty thousand mester drones monitoring its territory from the air that opens the door for a lot of abuses of privacy. from not just the government but corporations and businesses too. in a fight for privacy in this new york designer came up with a counter surveillance clothing line intended to shield people from those watchful lenses a burka a scarf and a hoodie are the key garments in the collection this is a garment that's designed to be thermally reflective of which means that he bounces
4:18 pm
off it and he does what suits for thermal imaging in particular this technology is used a lot on drones and he would use if there were drawings harboring about manhattan anybody who is out on the street is clearly traceable the idea of this collection is that putting on something like this. is a bit are. these parts of your body become very hard to detect. from a potential fashion statement to a technology that could eventually be used in rescue operations or even on a battlefield i think are just thing. a market hasn't been addressed that it's a new area and it's sort of a crossover between tactical and fashion it adds a little extra coverage to the face adam harvey calls his consumer market and fashionably paranoid if you appear to me and i can see. i'm quite alright with that
4:19 pm
but if you hear an automated systems and become a little more to your disadvantage because the state can be easily mind tracked and identified another counter-surveillance item in the collection the off pocket for a phone once a mobile device is put inside there are no more signals going in and out the strength of the cell phone signal out of one hundred goes down to zero in seconds from metalized fabric and that acts as a ferret to block the signals from the phone adam says this is a faster way to turn off your phone and block trucking since the introduction of the patriot act and since there's been a large erosion of privacy i would say is not. confined to the us either this is a global problem to start a conversation and make people more aware of the growing trend of surveillance through fashion is adam's goal the designer admits the clothing line is not for everybody but those who want to adapt to these new realities could now be a step closer to avoiding the gaze of big brother and stacy if you're going to
