i know many of the. turmoil in egypt rages on with more tear gas fired demonstrators in cairo while deadly clashes erupted after crowds storm a prison where twenty one inmates here sentenced to death for their part in a football stadium massacre last year. as egypt ignites again we look at how america's freshly reintegrated president managed to turn high expectations into anger across the middle east. and environmental issues cloud the future of the legendary baikonur cosmodrome as russia ashes with kazakstan over the facility.

two am in moscow i matras a good to have you with us here on r t our top story this hour cairo spreading across or chaos rather spreading across egypt with violent clashes and more tear gas fired protesters in cairo at least thirty people including police officers in two football players have reportedly been killed in egypt's port side where crowds tried to storm a prison this after twenty one people were sentenced to death accused of stirring up last year's stadium violence in the city that claimed seventy four lives correspondent bill true has more from cairo. the violence continues here in cairo between protesters and security forces on the cornice by the nile and also on us rainy streets this happened after protesters decided to move the demonstration from tahrir square to the parliament building then security forces responded with quite a lot of tear gas the air here in downtown cairo is really stinging even at this

time to it's very hard to breathe when you're outside on the ground those big clouds of white toxic gas really making it very hard to breathe or choking people or a passing out all over the place so really you know is quite correct chaotic scenes here in the capital meanwhile the situation is definitely escalating in port saïd the death toll goes up every hour and over three hundred injured the army are still on the streets apparently they managed to last reports and secure the area around the prison where the twenty one defendants who want to be facing the death penalty are being housed but we are getting calls from hospitals for food for more blood that they need blood for the injured and also medical supplies been on exam tria that has also been reports that protesters have surrounded the mayor of the city's building as they are protesting for change when the president was supposed to be traveling he canceled his travel plans as the situation developed in port sayit he

met with his national defense council to discuss the growing crisis across the country will they say it is they may resort to a state of emergency in some of the areas that are the most violent 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 we find demands calling basically for a new national salvation government to take over they've also said they will consider boycotting the parliamentary elections we should do in april and for also asked for an early presidential elections what they're saying is basically that they don't believe that president mohamed morsi. is that six minutes and he's not on seeing any of the demands of the revolution and step aside. for the latest information from the egyptian capital where bell has herself been affected by tear gas you can follow her on twitter at beltran. mark glenn a writer for the american free press newspaper says the most recent outbreak of violence in egypt is over more than just discontent with the verdict you have

people on the ground there who are genuinely emotionally driven for these things but you know these kinds of revolutions they don't pop up just overnight they take years acquainting and years some of those sorts of preparations in order for the scene to take place and yes there's a lot of frustration on the streets in egypt we have just gone through turbulent period where unemployment is really high it's really difficult for the families to feed themselves and certainly this lends to the frustration on the street but in general i cannot help but to to think back to be hundreds of minutes reports that were coming out of egypt talking about our you had trouble makers on the ground there who were being directed and guided by western intelligence services just having it happen so that it can put pressure on morsi and on his government in order to agree to certain demands that the united states and is really making and

that the u.s. doesn't necessarily have to come forward and say oh yes we were in support of these people. egypt was at the forefront of the pro-democracy uprising in the middle east and u.s. support of the revolts hoping barack obama's promise of change for the region would bear fruit but after wave of anti-american protests observers say much of his hope watch of the hope is famous speech in cairo trying to inspire has been dashed or his policy or investigates. i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world words of promise the field of religion with hope and mutual respect but as obama begins his second term in office his critics will he want to first turn they felt far short of expectations progress on peace between israelis and palestinians remain stalled the promised economic development of afghanistan never took root and american relations with post mubarak egypt deteriorated and i didn't just the u.s. 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 and they're fighting now that i'm not leaking oil also. in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies touting it as a great advance for security entry and 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 qaida in a way that was really quite dishonest and dangerous because it was essentially setting the united states up for situations where al qaeda 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 palestinians i would say that the people in general. stop thinking of him as a somebody who will do and it will do us any favor for 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 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 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's not issues 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 a new trust in america he'll have to do more than just promise a new beginning in a cairo speech policy r.t. tel aviv loudest thing coming from a historic baikonur cosmodrome of late hasn't been the roar of russian rockets but

instead a spout over their environmental impact kazakstan its demands are now threatening to derail russia's space program earlier my colleague spoke with r.t. if you're in a delusional 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 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 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 the huge annual rental fee together with the jobs provided to local people make the leasing arrangements a highly positive one for us 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 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 also 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 that 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 him 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 approved a budget of true trillion rubles that's roughly seventy five billion dollars for the space industry until twenty twenty. still to come drawing not just a veil over your own privacy check out clothing that would turn our eyes in the skies if only the drones could see them all the details on the invisible slope later plus. i don't think people take it as serious as the governmentally rodeos takes to be pluto should we should we take it more serious i think ease up soon oh it's music artes new york resident downloads local opinion on whether it's right to

more news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule today. thanks for staying with us here on r t thirteen minutes past the hour washington looking to be thought the number of drones manning the skies over the u.s. to tens of thousands by two thousand and twenty all in the name of national security but another big brother is forcing many americans to search for creative ways they say to protect their civil liberties and i started shirking it takes a look. 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 duces of privacy. from not just the government but corporations and businesses too. in a fight for privacy 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 which means that he bounces off it and he does what he was for thermal imaging in particular this technology is used a lot on drones and he would use if there were drones harboring about manhattan anybody who is out on the streets is clearly traceable the idea of this collection is that putting on something like this. is a bit of. 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 we're 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 unfashionably. paranoid if you appear to me and i can see you i'm quite alright with that but if you appear in an automated systems and how to become a little more to your disadvantage because this data can be easily mine tracked and identified another counter-surveillance item in the collection the off pocket for phone use 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 in a cage 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 then 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 party new york. and if that's not enough you can find more stories on our web site there right now an internal report revealing that computer drug use child labor to produce its latest must have devices all the details on our t. dot com plus. north korea confirms its intentions of carrying out a third nuclear test saying it's a demand of the people find out more online. while the movers and shakers of the money world have been debating the future of the global

it's through websites such as we cue leaks or partly 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 begin to have 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. turned into some other stories making headlines across the globe at least fifteen thousand people marched in london protesting against the government's plans to close services at a hospital in the city's south louison hospital will have its maternity ward an accident and emergency departments closed as part of a reorganization is after the south london health care trust was placed into administration due to huge debts demonstrators claim the plans will put lives at risk and create a worrying political precedent. in syria more than one hundred inmates were

kim dotcom just launched his new file sharing service mega he says by using it you're saying yes to internet freedom is file sharing the future of the internet this week let's talk about that have you ever stolen a movie or music off the internet i plead the fifth i'll take that as a yes if you think there's anything wrong with that you know why do people get very angry about it and send people to jail that are not the problem is with it being around is that people who need to make money don't make their money. should they just figure out a new way is it up to them or is that up to us to stop taking it. but have you never stolen anything off the web for moral reasons or just because you never have never. known how to if it were easy and you did know how to would you do it more often if i knew how to do it i mean criminals every day doing bad things we would expect. should it be for a should music movies be free. artist because by you but.
