deadly clashes in gulf egypt caused by anti-government protests and an outcry over the death sentences for twenty one people linked to football rioting last year. french led troops closing in on the cape town of tim but to in the battle to oust islamist insurgents as questions mount over the true motive of the own growing intervention. and prime minister david cameron promises to let the british people vote on whether the u.k. should exit the e.u. but only if his party wins the next election.

the latest news on the week's top stories this is the weekly here on r.g.p. hello and welcome to the program chaos has spread across egypt following deadly clashes in port side and cairo a total of forty one people have now been killed over the past two days violent anti-government rallies are raging across the capital after at least thirty two people were killed and portside following death sentences given to some of those who took part in fatal football riots last year and let's now get more local reporter well true his income well would seem more clashes in cairo this morning understand rest now into its third day was the current situation where. right now here in the capital there are clashes raging between protesters and security forces on the cornice on the key areas near government buildings as opposed to tear gas in the air here in downtown cairo rocks have also been

exchanged security have upped the presence around the government buildings as the focus of the anger here the protesters is very much against most of the ministration they say that so the president says no you're going to just admit you can't run the country and cause me to listen to their demands to the unrest here is still continuing it's very tense didn't put saeed as well as the situation in egypt really descends into a bit of a crisis present to most is said to be considering implementing a state of emergency so what would that mean. president mahmoud morsi counseled his travel plans yesterday met with his national defense council to discuss the deepening crisis across the country one of the options at this meeting was that they may consider an emergency status we don't know the details of what that would actually mean but of course here in egypt they lived under most state of emergency for thirty years in a bar which led to protests. and censorship to legalize something people would

really be very angry with or want to avoid to get to see if this situation continues on the streets of cairo and we see further deaths and they may resort to emergency status here we don't actually know what's going on quite yet of course a lot of i'm going towards the president this started just at the end of last year where he pushed through what was very seen as an unpopular constitution drafted by an islamist dominated constituent assembly people also you say that he has not made any of the changes that that that would call for durable joinery to fight for pollution two years ago so he's really lost quite a lot of the just mystique on the streets at the moment we're seeing a very restive and divided egypt. a local reporter about truth in the volatile cairo thank you very much. for a french led troops in mali are closing on on the key northern town of timbuktu in a region infested with our kind of militants they're trying to force an air regain control of ga and what was seen as their first major victory in the military

operation and his point to boycott reports the strong militant presence in mali is being seen as a result of the france led intervention to oust colonel gadhafi in libya. that very very few 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 a lot and will return and libya will be another afghanistan terrorists will flood to europe cut to paris and almost two years later markets after his 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. secu so not only did the french intervention in libya not help the democratic process which is what they said they were after but it is that simply opened up the floodgates for weapons stockpiles and fighters to leave the country and go south of the border and this is no more 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 the nearby libyan border libya is as i say central to all this problem because all the plot of weapons it's been produced by the collapse of the darfur region but also by the complete failure to establish any kind of real state you have essentially also

crating in different parts of libya and you have across much of this hour a situation where people have arguments where very considerate sense so bribery and corruption. is commonplace 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 provide a basis the first effects for immediate 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 this is always been a problem for france whether it's iraq or sarkozy. i'm french i was born here and lived here my culture is french my origins are there and i was there like another country telling me 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 they are revelation which the u.s. bank of both vocally and militarily and that a rise in extremism on wednesday hillary clinton testifies to congress about last year's deadly attack on the american consulate in the libyan city have been gone missing so she took responsibility for security failures that led to that talk in september that said as you have not seen a request for more security beforehand and a u.s. senator john kerry is now widely expected to win an easy confirmation from senator a place hillary clinton has leaving how position but some analysts don't believe a new face will change u.s. foreign policy at home but 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 félix 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 crystal is 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 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 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. this week the world's financial and political elites ramped up their annual joy in the swiss resort of davos optimistically predicting europe will walk out of crisis this year but as people being reports the rich and powerful who gathered at the world economic forum offered lots of promises but no clear strategies. 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 at my ring the beauty of the swiss as you can see but also trying to look beyond them to work out what exactly was achieved well first up we had russian prime minister dmitry medvedev now he spoke 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 nothing particularly new 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 fact that 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 parameter announcement 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 draghi 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 prayers 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. david cameron's pledge to hold an referendum in the u.k. you certainly should be donal's meeting up the u.k. prime minister said they were jewish will hop their say on europe if his conservative party wins the next election but as she's under former pools the uncertainty over britain's e.u. membership is being criticised at home and abroad. 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 they can win the next election in twenty fifteen basically he wants more pounds return from brussels to westminster and will try to renegotiate britain's terms of membership but he has warned that if 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 diets is 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 speaking to 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 andrew farmer. prime minister for the third time benyamin netanyahu is right wing blog election two faces a bunch of coalition to back his plans to tackle what it sees as the iranian nuclear threat. and deprived of privacy the f.b.i. refuses to reveal how or how many americans that spying on calls and distrust and paranoia that's coming after right.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are all day.

you're watching us here live from moscow let's move on now prime minister binyamin netanyahu may have come out there we know israel's trail election this week but he's suffered a major setback the two main blocks were left close to deadlock in the new parliament meaning netanyahu has a struggle to build a stable government economy stories are also haaretz newspaper gideon levy says netanyahu will put iran's nuclear program on the top of the international agenda but is not likely to have enough support. to tell you're always very devoted to this issue and he believes almost in a religious way that he's here to say of the state of israel in the jewish people from the danger of iranian bomb but he will have it more difficult this time because at least on this topic he will find fewer partners who would support it because i've seen that this kind of adventure with the old minister of defense

old barak will support the then we'll look most probably in the coming government will tell you oh we find himself more isolated barack obama second term no doubt that he will not let this happen but you know israel does not react all raising very racial terms so all i would exclude because that they are always so devoted about the jewish settlements and they was the bank is another major issue for his side they won't be dismantled during his said term and oxer and direct any more to come are known for his prime videos decided to take an orthodox look at the land expansion. my name is no more than israeli citizen living here among. you one housing crisis at all time high the thing is there is another one in jerusalem but i can also live among ourselves and i think i can get there much

better deal with the wise over the. would like to see the flood to buy i'm here with some investors from england. we want to invest in this area because i'm hearing the property value might go up with one flat is one million shekels is fathers for that in the building that this whole new area called zero eight and one begins after those heels despite a few haters in the un almost political parties support the building and selling of charming flats on palestinian land the latest talk location he won east of jerusalem hello i'm here to show a new client wants to buy property in this area is a big new one investor understand is the only building currently built but if i can show him more. hills more outposts. and no

one except. two state solution who cares as long as the properties cheap is a jew man leaving london i want to cash in on my jewishness and like be in touch with my roots. so it's all jewish or yeah yeah any non jewish parts because. not. many people say he is not being constructive in the peace process but look how many settlements constructed i'm hoping. to build a new settlement. this is the future of israel i believe and i'm afraid that if i buy the house and i get a document saying it's mine some day palestinians can scum and say no it's not yours because i keep listening to that in the. you see. there's a chance for him to there's just one thing and. it's funny how those small actions had like international meaning. the moving of stones

like monumentally. it's like messing with international law. this is the most disputed area you never notice it just because people told us. but he says it is like a good place to build a new flat you think they'll be like because my friends want to be like to buy something before we even constructed i was coming up and. it says this is the fail stone being set for the new god willing a few one facing the holy capital of his i pay so much money for rent in london in one in london and here. and in the big city thing is cheaper and more comfortable it all starts here so all of us in ours. you can look down and palestinians this is the new area being built opens if you want i just call this status quo how

doll free they sell all the flats in this part of town and i say no to see them and it will never be evacuated today selling more and more. of the city and all the bills are you should be jewish label. me. i want to see an. agent to get all the legalities. of. you selling your house by any chance in. my life.

so the film's director named rod cameron says buying in disputed west bank areas can be a good and potentially very profitable. nobody really goals get in the mindset of the religious ones and that not only just want to just come there for the deal and i mean they don't even think about politics for them it's just buying and selling and like 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 will pay them compensations believe it or if you buy a float over there you get huge discounts if you've got many kids even more discounts you don't even have to be religious. actually de facto build another well

first which is the settler jewish only west bank cities and if you just go there and you buy a flat you can sell it to like the jewish americans some of the people i talked to never going to give up their house. is the heavily. into the settlement of the entire west bank and told me that jordan is also the kind of part of the jewish state just cool and like the other ones are just like non-religious people who used to live in 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 this world that's the only option americans are literally being kept in the dark about how and why they're being followed by the nation security agency a civil liberties groups in the u.s. ask the f.b.i. to spell out what techniques it's using when

a truck citizens justice department did reply by sending hundreds of completely blacked out documents and the editor of twenty four seven news it j.d. to still says the secrecy surrounding government surveillance gives law enforcement too much power. the fact is there's enormous power the government now has to surveil the population unfortunately when they black out the memos that we don't know what their policies are if the supreme court has revised the rules for surveillance we have to trust them we have to take their word for it that they met their body by the supreme court's decisions so we don't know what policies the f.b.i. has allocated itself we don't we don't know how they're lying there or their surveillance techniques open and free society the f.b.i. has to tell us what its procedures and techniques are simply that we can argue about them and then we have the opportunity to challenge them meant that maybe the court says sure they're ok but that's only after they're challenged in court and that are discussed openly if all we have to go on is the f.b.i. saying trust us that doesn't give us very much if we actually don't trust them. now
