it's three i'm in moscow i'm at present thanks for joining us here on r t our top story chaos spreading across egypt with violent clashes and more tear gas fired at cairo protesters at least thirty two people including police officers in two football players have reportedly been killed in egypt's port saïd or 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 the 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 ready stinging even at this time to it's very hard to breathe when you're outside on the ground there is big clouds of white toxic gas really making it very hard to breathe you're choking

people passing out all over the place so really i was 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've managed to the last report 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 from hospitals for more blood they need blood for the injured and also medical supplies been on exam drea 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 well they've said is they may resort to

a state of emergency in some of the areas are the most violence he 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 the man's calling basically for a new national salvation government to take over they've also said they would consider boycotting the parliamentary elections which would 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 the just minutes and he's not on any of the demands of the revolution and should therefore step aside. the latest information from the egyptian capital where bell has herself been affected by tear gas you can follow her latest updates on twitter that's well true . mark glenn a journalist for the american free press says 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 evolutions they don't pop out just overnight they take years of planning and a year or so of all sorts of preparations in order for these things to take place and yes there's a lot of frustration on the streets in egypt we have just gone through turbulent period where on employment is really high it's really difficult for families to feed themselves and certainly this lends to the frustration on the street but in general i cannot help but to think back to be hundreds of news reports that were coming out of egypt talking about how do you hate troublemakers 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 israel are making 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 uprisings in middle east

u.s. support of the river or the revolts hoping proc obama's promise of change for the region might bear fruit but after away vandy american protests observers say much of the hope his famous cairo speech tried to inspire may have been dashed or his policy or takes a look i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world woods of promise that field in a region with hope but as obama begins his second term in office his critics feel he want to first they fell 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 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 it was or are there fights now that i'm not leaking oil also. in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies telling 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. 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 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 wired as thing coming from a story at baikonur cosmodrome of late hasn't been the roar of rockets but instead a spat over their environmental impact kazakstan is demands are now threatening to derail russia's space program there earlier my colleague rory so she spoke with her

teacher in english go about the dispute. baikonur has been the launch pad for 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 rockets which 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 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 china have got surging space programs we know that russia really has the busier 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's 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 bishan step for the country's space

exploration program in decades to the moon by twenty twenty says of course most adding they were. 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 through trillion rubles that's roughly seventy five billion dollars for the space industry until twenty twenty. drawing not just a veil over your own privacy check out the clothing that would burn eyes in the skies only the drones there could see them all the details on the invisible book still to come plus. i don't think people take it as serious as the go by those takes it to be should we should we take it more serious now at the ease of. its music artes new york resident downloads local opinion on whether it's right to file share on this after the break.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has

been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. thanks for staying with us here on r t thirteen minutes past the hour now washington looking to beef up the number of drones manning the u.s. skies 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 to protect their civil liberties or tease out a stasi churkin a as mine. 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 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. music but 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 or just thing. a market tazz and 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 out of harvey calls his consumer market i unfashionably paranoid if you appear to me and i can see you i'm quite alright with that but if you hear an automated systems and how it becomes a little more to your disadvantage because this data can be easily mine and 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 the metalized fabric and that acts as a farraday 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 and 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 state you're going to party new york. and any kind of war on big brother could be in full swing online just a week after and the secrecy for senator aaron swartz took his own life activist group anonymous a tribute to him by cracking the website of the u.s. justice department the full story online at r.t. dot com. and the world health organization reveals an eye opening statistics from the swine flu pandemic back in two thousand and nine the shocking data available on our website. the movers and shakers of the money world have been debating the future of the global economy at the annual forum in davos r.t. caught up with russia's aluminum magnate oleg deripaska for an exclusive interview

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 that anything wrong with that you know why dude people get very angry about it and send people to jail that are not the problem is that they're being wrong 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. have you never stolen anything off the web for moral reasons or just because you never have never have you know 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. you know should it be for a should music in movies be free. not autistic or social by you but.

i don't think people take it as serious as the government takes it to be should we should we take it more seriously hard to ease up when you know it's it's music but it's not money coming out of your pocket like it has out of the artists or directors or studios. i don't know mobile size of the phone so i think it's been. sort of issue to me it is what it is how do we stop people from stealing though if it's so easy i think they need to appreciate the arts and media and they will appreciate and does and steal music yeah i think it's better to give a dollar to the arts than you know a politician or your government yes of course or cigarettes but maybe if some of it will go through some kind. of the nation maybe it will inspire people to do so do you think though that you know the future is going to have a whole different landscape for intellectual property that will view it differently like it's kind of everyone's. i don't know i haven't really thought about it i mean

i guess if you write a song you'd still yours so you should still have get credit for it at least ninety nine cents and you had so much as you should get something whether or not you think file sharing is the future of the internet the bottom line is enough people do it to pose a serious threat to current business models. stay with us kaiser report coming up after a short break. wealthy
