deadly clashes in golden age reports by anti-government protests and an outcry over the death sentences for twenty one people links to football rioting last year. french led troops on taking northern town in mali in the battle to oust islam the insurgents as questions mount over the true motive of the on growing intervention. and foreign minister david cameron promises to let the british people vote on whether the u.k. should exit the e.u. but only in his policy with the next election.

the latest news and the week's top stories this is the weekly here on our c with me . welcome to the program can you also spring in egypt with more deadly clashes and portside in cairo at least thirty five people including two police officers and two football is have been killed after crowds tried to storm a prison in the seaside city the riots followed death sentences given to twenty one people for their role in last year's football stadium riot which left dozens dead while in the capital police fired tear gas and antigovernment protesters tried to storm government building so correspondent is in cairo with the latest. the violence continues here in cairo between protesters and security forces on the cornice by the nile and 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 meanwhile the situation is definitely escalating in port and over three hundred injured the army are still on the streets apparently they've managed to 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 four for more blood they need blood for the injured and also medical supplies 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 fine demands calling basically for

a new national salvation government to take over they've also said they would consider boycotting the parliamentary elections which are due 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. and not glenn a journalist for the american free press newspaper says the riots could be then instigated from the outside. we 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 of claiming. 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 were our employment is really high it's really difficult for our families to

feed themselves and certainly first lends to the frustration on the street but in general i cannot help but to think back to the hundreds of minutes reports that were coming out of egypt talking about how do you hear the troublemakers on the ground there who are being directed and guided by western intelligence services just having it happen so good 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 have a good name again here i believe is just i'm out 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 israel french troops in mali have moved into the cape town of guard in the continuing offensive to drive out al qaeda linked militants from the country's north the joint contingent carried out as trikes and also took control of the airport and the

bridge over the niger river and as a point to boycott reports there's strong militant presence in mali is being seen as a result of the france led intervention to oust kind of gadhafi in libya which have a very. you wanted peace you wanted freedom you wanted economic progress france great britain europe will always stand by the libyan people. but a regional crisis probably wasn't what mr sarkozy anticipated when he was spearheading the military operation to topple moammar gadhafi although the former french president can't say that he hadn't been warned personally i play a significant role in establishing peace in those regions of africa should the situation in libya be unstable al qaeda will establish its rule bin laden will return and libya will be another afghanistan terrorists will flood to europe cut to

paris and almost two years later market out these words could well be ringing in the years of need what i saw was the successor francois hollande having just sent troops to mali france's new leader could well be learning that every action has a reaction. so it's not only do the french intervention in libya not held the democratic process which is what they said they were after but it is a fact if it opened up the floodgates for weapons stockpiles and fighters to leave the country and go south of the border. to mali where the recently deployed french military were reportedly stunned by the technologically advanced weapons that are in the hands of their adversaries nobody seems to think that perhaps organized groups come from somewhere other than mali it seems they came across a nearby libyan border libya is as i say central to all this problem because all the plot of weapons have been produced by the collapse of the darfur region but also a complete failure to establish any kind of real state you have essentially all talk

rating in different parts of libya and you have across much of this hour a situation where people have arguments where very considered sense so bribery and corruption order grabs is common place gadhafi was bitter opponent all right it was ahmed groups whatever his faults and they now have the ability to use the chaos in libya to buy themselves a base the first effects were immediate a hostage crisis in algeria said to be in retaliation for the french offensive in mali has already claimed the lives of dozens of civilians taken captive i'm frightened of terrorism but this is always been a problem for france whether it's iraq or sarkozy. i'm french i was born here and live here my culture is french but my origins are there and if i was there i wouldn't like another country telling me what to do. you know we're scared of anything that threatens us. france's global allies are showing signs of being

sucked into the mali conflict british prime minister david cameron has already acknowledged that battling radical insurgency in the region could take decades rather than months and all this so that france can remedy the knock on effects from its libyan intervention. r t paris. the u.s. secretary of state has acknowledged the our revolution which the uars back both vocally and militarily led to a rise in extremism on wednesday hillary clinton testified to congress about last year's deadly attack on the american consulate in the libyan city have been going she took responsibility for security failures that led to the attack in september but said she had not seen requests for more security beforehand and a u.s. senator john kerry is now widely expected to win an easy confirmation from the senate to replace hillary clinton who is leaving her position but some analysts don't believe a new face will change u.s.

foreign policy at all. well the clinton legacy is pretty much i think the legacy of american wars and a counterterrorism policy that has usurped the usual prerogatives of the state department what hillary clinton did which was more important than anything else during her four years as secretary of state was to be part of the coalition the phalanx if you will of pro-war people which really left to president obama no choice but to go along with the forty thousand troops that the military was demanding that crist was demanding for afghanistan john kerry will not be able to fundamentally change the course of u.s. foreign policy which is again set in motion a set in stone if you will because of the power that the cia and the military really wield over the direction of u.s.

relations with so much of the of the world particularly the middle east and now increasingly in africa as well as well as of course south asia so every virtually every important issue that he's going to deal with. you know in those parts of the world will be. issues which have been essentially preempted already the policy set by the military and by the cia and i think that there is very little chance that john kerry will challenge any of the fundamental directions of u.s. policy such as for example the drone war in pakistan. prime minister for the third time then you may netanyahu is right wing along with the general election but he faces a bustle to form a coalition before he pushes for his plans for orders settlements in the disputed west find all that's coming up. on deprived of privacy you are so sororities push for greater control in the name of national security of the f.b.i.

refuses to reveal how or how many americans it's playing on causing distrust. this week the world's financial and political elite rob top that i knew all joining this way as a result of doubles optimistically predicting the euro will walk out of prices this year but as also his case a pill we report with the rich and powerful gathered at the world economic forum offered lots of promises but no clear strategy. double's twenty thirty is now the world's most influential policymakers pack up their design a suit and head home at least me hair admiring the beauty of the swiss alps as you can see but also trying to look beyond them to work out what exactly was achieved here well first we had russian prime minister dmitri medvedev now he's worried about the need to diversify the economy away from oil and crack on with structural reforms but you know we've heard that before that was something. we also had

british leader david cameron he came here he had some tough words to say for tax avoiders but really the only topic people wanted to press him on here was the father he will be calling an e.u. referendum for the british public in twenty seventy the business community here they felt that that was a gram of cheer and now this man and that it would do the economy no good or ready to challenge and in a fragile situation with dismal growth figures just released europe was of course in the spotlight as predicted we had european central bank president mario did arche he said the spending cuts are necessary austerity is the way forward and german chancellor angela merkel she agreed with him she reiterated that point and this really comes the same way that we've had process ongoing in greece we've had a backlash in germany as well as spain's unemployment for the youth coming out at

sixty percent we also have the premiers from the arab world they came together valiant to improve the future for the people in the region but no clear strategy on on how to do that so you know i can tell you there's been a lot of talking a lot of pledging a lot of promise saying but no clear cut poll that says by have a real fairing that the interesting conversations happened behind closed doors. r.t. davus. so david cameron's pledge to hold an in out referendum in the u.k. certainly meeting up the u.k. prime minister they were sure have their say on europe if he's conservative policy winston next election but as overseas and reform reports the certainty of a britain's e.u. membership is being criticized at home broad. british prime minister david cameron has threatened to redraw the map of europe his pledge to hold a referendum on whether the u.k. should remain in the e.u.

if the conservatives win the next election in twenty fifteen basically he wants more powers returned from brussels to westminster and will try to renegotiate britain's terms of membership but he has warned that he is not successful then the u.k. would probably vote to head towards the exit i was his long awaited european speech and dines at the place many of those euro skeptics within his tory party there are many dieties u.k. business leaders for example say that even talking about an exit at this stage will create uncertainty and could scare away potential investors germany's chancellor angela merkel has said that perhaps a compromise is needed but other e.u. members are less sympathetic than mark says that the e.u. is not a self-service where members can cherry pick the legislation that happens sweeping the said the e.u. would simply become a mess so while david cameron appears to solve any internal squabbles within his own party particularly appeasing those euro skeptics it also appears that he is

driving a wedge between britain and other e.u. member states under a farmer. americans are literally being kept in the dark about how and why they're being followed by the nation's security agency a civil liberties group in the us ask the f.b.i. to spell out what techniques it's using one a trunk citizens under the justice department did reply but sending hundreds of completely blacked out documents journalism professor christopher chambers says the u.s. has violate the rights of his people. the state of privacy for american citizens these days is quite tenuous and quite frightening because we are being assaulted in america on two levels one from our government which is collecting information which is spying on american citizens. apparently without any predicate or basic probable cause or specific facts on the other hand you have corporations spying on american

citizens to find out what we buy when we buy it how much money we spend how much we who is in our family what our friends buy basically to take money from us so on one hand you have people taking freedom of the other here you have people taking money so it's all based on a lack of privacy so it's a very scary situation here in america now. now whether on time for now and interest activists came dot com known for his now bond file sharing service says he's at the center of a political witch hunt the shutting down of his mega upload site one of the most popular on the web at the time became a landmark case in the prosecution of internet access and he told us he believes he's being hounded across the globe. i'm a businessman i'm driven by the success of achieving something in the business world ok that's not a crime there's nothing wrong with that the government is quite exposed here because they really went in was completely prosecutorial abuse and overreach and

ignoring due process ignoring our rights spying on us illegal search warrants illegal restraining orders illegal spying and i mean the whole war picture when you look at it shows that this was an urgent mission done in a rush to take them down i want them to go and it was a political decision to do that. and you can watch to the interview the full interview rather with kim dotcom and foreign altie dot com but they make their upload create days not the only victim all become pain against internet pirates until secrecy crusader our shores took his own life to escape being hounded to visit group anonymous by cracking the web site will be to us a sentencing commission blaming them american justice system will being too harsh on driving the twenty six year old to suicide at all to his website.

and also online for you graves an indian sea dry and diesel electric submarine with cruise missiles and times the navy armed by the intended. prime minister binyamin netanyahu may have carried out the we know israel's general election this week but his suffered a major setback the two main blocks were left close to deadlock in the new parliament meaning netanyahu will have to struggle to build a stable government and peace activists tell how it's compelling for a two state solution to the israeli palestinian conflict says netanyahu is reelection a little delayed this prospect even. you know finds himself leading a party of offering a very platform actually no platform at all but they have not presented a program a party program to address a lot of the issues that are concerning israeli citizens from the left and the right and are dividing them and when you think about the prospects for this

government leading policy of more settlement expansion and indeed even annexation of the occupied territories in the west bank i think that it would lead not only to a growing pressure in friction with the united states and president obama with the european union and with the palestinian population but it will also lead to a growing disappointment in the israeli public that. it is still supporting and i believe will still support. it and uphold its right to peace and security which can only be manifested and realized through the two state solution. jewish settlements in the fine kyra major issue for israel and international politics so to cut through the politics access and direct attack me not comment known for his prank v.d.'s decided to take and also to exclude at the homeland expansion. my name is me more than is really citizen living here among.

non-religious people who used to live in that you know these early election is all about social justice kind of the whole. the whole like housing prices so pretty much if you want to live chip in israel that's the only option and they told me that if someone is going to a victim which they don't believe in but if people going to happen they're going to even make more money because the government would pay them compensation for the victims if you just go buy a float you can sell it to they could reach jewish americans so did you actually buy into this. i mean i bought money with me and i didn't go all the way there but just got the best deal and i almost bought it because i know what why don't i buy it if it is that if it's such a good deal you can make lots of money presumably yeah i mean i am i am jewish actually not all doing. and check some other stories making news around the
