a look back at the past seven days top stories and the latest developments this is the weekly on t.v. as violent unrest rages on in egypt president mohamed morsi has declared a state of emergency in the cities of port saïd sue is and is mali echoing the days of former leader hosni mubarak that's after a massive march in port saeed turned bloody leaving four people dead and hundreds injured well the latest now from our correspondent bell true she's in caro well one of the implications of this move by morsi. both today in a televised press statement by president mohamed morsi sorry excuse me is going to take us to me i guess the clashes continue in cairo. president had mostly declared a state of emergency for thirty days according to the constitution what that means is that it basically protests will be banned security forces. you
4:02 pm
have the right to arrest. protesters without charge and in addition censorship may be legalized across the street from these three cities apologies this is a lot to take as the clashes continue in cairo is that the misfeature president mohammed morsi also said to be a curfew course the city's between nine pm and six am empty also called for dialogue with the opposition for judging what was happening to their in car oh you're obviously suffering the effects from tear gas other early signs of toll of the tensions easing or are things getting pretty bad not just in cairo but elsewhere throughout the country. and literally in the last fifteen minutes things that just escalated to a great extent here in cairo the clashes continue between anti government protesters and security forces who are firing an excessive amount against the point where even at this point it's almost impossible to breathe because it continues to be violence across the country in serious for example where the army has been
4:03 pm
deployed as one is the continued bloody scenes in port science which have seen dozens killed and hundreds injured leaving many to question you know how this is going to end with a state of emergency in place this will also mean to be a lot of arrests and possible unrest between security force forces and protesters in the next few days well i don't want to keep you on for too much longer because clearly some comfortable for you but why is there so much to get now what is prompting the authorities to produce about say gas is all the protests getting worse there. yes the parade is a definitely getting worse day in cairo which is why i am obviously having trouble breathing at the moment that the protests the basically protests is left after a yesterday and attempted to march on the government building close to the free and this started of clashes yesterday which continued through the night they have been localized on the cornice but literally in the last fifteen minutes the security forces pushed protesters back. shooting excessive amounts of takeout it's exploded
4:04 pm
the square and people i've just seen people running past past me many unconscious people carrying protest is this way it's a safety robot well thank you very much appreciate you are battling the pretty tough conditions there and all that tear gas thanks very much indeed no doubt we'll hear from a bit later if we can in the meantime true live there from karl thanks very much. well egyptian government is not putting enough effort into dealing with this crisis well that's according to the political activists some a forty who we spoke to a little earlier here in r.t. we have to distinguish between two things first of all evolutionary forces who are looking good for. the slogans that evolution in egypt freedom and justice and struggling to do what. other good would like to the. ability of the situation in egypt and we have to be. very gracious to
4:05 pm
uncover all those people who broker violence will support the violence or violence or violence because it's too difficult to build our democracy on such a violence but at the same time the government has to be willing to start a new process of national reconciliation but unfortunately we haven't seen until now any government official is speaking to people including some president himself as a government is this still looking into the situation very in model prospective limit what's going on on in the street into violence and into violent groups and ignoring zarar. demands. the french intervention forces continuing its advance in money helping the local unelected government beat back islamic militants and several french allies including britain and the us are also providing support
4:06 pm
for the military offensive and the coalition now finds itself fighting the same sort of people that helped bring to power in libya as party boyko reports from paris which have a very. you wanted peace you wanted freedom you want an economic progress france great britain europe will always stand by the libyan people of course. 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 the terrorists will flood to europe cut to paris and almost two years later mark is out these words could well be ringing in the areas of need what i saw was the successor francois
4:07 pm
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 all the operating in different parts of libya and you have across much of this hour
4:08 pm
a situation where people have arguments where very little civic sense so bribery and corruption or 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 provide the basis the fast 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 upward it's just i'm french i was born here and live here my culture is french my origins are there and i was there like another country telling me. you know we're scared of anything that threatens us. france's global allies are showing signs of being sucked into the mali conflict
4:09 pm
prime minister david cameron has already acknowledged the fastenings 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. france a stepped up security measures at home fearing reprisal attacks from islam is to have valid to avenge the mahdi intervention dozens of foreign hostages were killed when terrorists seized a gas plant in algeria last week middle east expert tariq ali thinks that further retribution strikes will likely be focused in africa i don't think europe is under threat from any terrorist group obama already said that the phrase war against terrorism is a day to be united states will abandon it sort of ironic that the french are now taking it up the french intervention which has many people in the south a lot because they're completely desperate but if this intervention goes on it'll
4:10 pm
get worse and worse because these guys are going to fight back and then you will have probably small groups of people taking revenge as we saw in algeria and incidentally the role the french played in algeria bice helping in encouraging the government to stop an election midway has also left an impact on that concrete solution no doubt it will do stabilise and goes well. the outgoing u.s. secretary of state is admitted the arab spring revolts which washington backed lead to a rise of extremism and shouted security in the region and he clinton testified before lawmakers about last year's attack on the american consulate in libya which saw four u.s. diplomats killed she took responsibility for failures that led to the assault on stressing that washington should continue to exert its influence across the arab world senator john kerry is expected to take over from clinton but some analysts doubt a new face will overhaul u.s. foreign policy. or the clinton legacy is pretty much i think the legacy of
4:11 pm
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 kristol 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 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
4:12 pm
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. coming up on the weekly here in r.t. he may have hung on to his job but he failed to convince his voters really prime minister benjamin netanyahu clinched a majority in the country's parliament by tony and narrow margin and is now struggling to form a stable. clinician more on that for you in plenty of other stories after a short break. well into the. out of sight but still on our minds from the still exceeds the norm let's try to live smarter with smartphones you never know what some people are hiding and can't be sure to prove down to the molecular level learned that what the doctor ordered is often based on secrets under our skin let us shine the light on
