7:03 pm
some a found says the muslim brotherhood still remain silent to the key demands of the protesters alyse feel that people in the street. it challenges them a challenge little thirty particularly in terms of the amendment we are hearing all the times that people in the muslim brotherhood do not want to change. constitution and cesar's a constitution is a pistol over the globe. saw i think is that the more people to exercise position on them the more they can react positively under try to accommodate all political demands and all political factions within. new political system i'm afraid that the muslim brotherhood would like to manipulate the state operators for the sake people speaking about this issue and we have to build
7:04 pm
a new democratic system build on. neutral state operate this in egypt and others then a state operator serving one political party. is still in that initial period. the british prime minister's opponents get hot under the collar as david cameron pledges to hold a referendum on the country's possible e.u. exit if his party wins in the next election less a story is coming up just ahead of. the french intervention forces continuing its advance in mali the troops have entered timbuktu one of the major northern mali in towns occupied by islamist fighters for the last year paris is allies including britain and the us are continuing to provide logistics support for the military offensive but some experts warn the campaign is a move to recolonize the african country as marina for notion or reports from paris . the french have died had no name to the military operation in mali but the
7:05 pm
discussion is still ongoing as to exactly why the western nation has put boots on african soil again costing money and people's lives. official rhetoric remains in line with the mantra of the war on terrorism but some statements suggest another layer of france's defense minister has declared a total recount quest of mali is the main goal with the president echoing french troops twenty five hundred so far who remain in the region for as long as necessary they're attempting to militarize huge ships of africa so that they want to monopolize access to the city to the resources this is the there with seeing this with the complete specifically i mean relations do it to states i know we seeing it with problems in other parts of the european union fruit of your new troops actually being used i mean some of the money conflict as well which has been relatively rare in the past gold and especially the iranian deposits make the country very attractive nearly eighty percent of all france's energy generated by
7:06 pm
almost sixty nuclear power plants is dependent on african reigning and. french companies must go on the offensive and fight the growing influence of rival china for stake in africa's increasingly competitive markets all this is neocolonialism but with us simply france is far from the only nation to have and defended its interests in africa the french have intervened around fifty times in africa in the last fifty years since official decolonization protectin regimes from rebels like into beauty of the central african republic or fighting regimes like in libya france is always driven by his own economic or geopolitical interests this time is no different radical de cola is asian wasn't actually over apart from economic there is also strategic importance this part of africa opens routes to the red sea and the middle east britain and france have for centuries fought over it before
7:07 pm
it's like a remake but with many others involved but that doesn't mean the round mutual interests here. if you ask people in mali you'd be surprised who they were waiting for somebody to say. of them because their army is not equipped to train to oppose these militants but it was necessary to intervene in mali people see this operation as a liberation they hardly wanted to live on the islamicists ms they had that is a philosopher in the form of the nation embassador to unesco his view on the positive impact for the people of mali is that it is actually a colonial throwback. it's ok if you want to come you resources put then it's logical that locals profit as well those riches go to improve their life but that's not the case this was wild a kind of slavery mali him on the richest national resources in africa yet remains one of the poorest nations in the world for many years there's been in paris was the headquarters of the country's ministry of colonies the body which administered
7:08 pm
french territories overseas today that ministry no longer exists and former french colonies are independent but someone that alone no idea is all just part of history and that history may be repeating. now t. from paris. france has stepped up security measures at home fearing that reprisal attacks from is almost valid to avenge the mali intervention dozens of foreign hostages were killed when terrorists seized a gas plant in algeria last week middle east expert to recall the things for the retribution strikes are likely to be carried out 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 date to the united states will abandon a sort of ironic that the french are now taking it up the french intervention which has many people in the south
7:09 pm
a lot because they're completely desperate but if this intervention goes on it'll get worse and worse because these guys are going to fight back and then you will have probably small groups of people taking rangers recently now that cheerio and incidentally the role of the french played in algeria bice helping in encouraging the government to stop an election made way has also left an impact on that concrete so there's no doubt it will be stabilized and as well. and they are going u.s. secretary of state has admitted in the arab spring a revolver which washington backed lead into a rise of extremism and have shattered security in the region hillary clinton testified before lawmakers about last year's attack on the american consulate in libya which saw for us to bomb as killed she took responsibility for failures that led to the assault while stressing that washington should it continue to exert its influence across the arab world u.s. senator john kerry is expected to take over from clinton but some analysts doubt
7:10 pm
that a new face will overhaul u.s. foreign policy. 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 mcchrystal 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.
7:11 pm
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. and coming up here on our team he may have hung on to the charm but he failed to convince of the voters. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu clinched a majority in the country's parliament by only a narrow margin and is now struggling to form a stable coalition on that after a short break. what mystery is hidden deep beneath. visitors a north welcome here. traps are

broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r.t. with the weekly to have you back with us prime minister dmitri medvedev has criticized washington's move to sanction a number of russian officials for alleged crimes which no court has found them guilty of speaking to c.n.n. the russian premier said the magnitsky bill passed on capitol hill falls outside of international law and only aggravates relations between russia and the us. because of this i mean that each country has the right to deny any country's citizen an entry visa to his territory this is something normal but it's something that corresponds with international conventions without having to explain the reasons for it i mean the united states could and still can bring any russian officials entrance to america the same way they can examine their accounts or whatever else they have in america this is exactly what russia can do as well but when it becomes a public campaign with congress saying it will draw up
7:16 pm
a list of individuals who have been involved in a crime what do you think it is if not an extrajudicial execution of the convicts these individuals without any trial or prosecution but each of you and a major medvedev also spoke out on the twenty two month syrian crisis which shows no signs of abating moscow has stressed it does not support any side in the conflict while maintaining that foreign intervention should be completely ruled out but the premier did say. that it is not the time excuse me is not on president assad side to go to new york i think there are fewer chances for him to stay on with every new day every week and every month but let me repeat it is up to the syrian people to make a decision not up to russia the united states or any other state now the main task is to launch a national reconciliation process we should think about the future for instance if
7:17 pm
the opposition which by the way has been formed outside of syria comes to power what is it going to do with its members will exterminate representatives of other islamic movements another confessionals they are already doing this that's why there are two options either it will be a process of national reconciliation and held under the control of the international community or and list civil war and there is no in-between. and you can get more of dimitri medvedev his interview on on t.v. dot com. also online for you right now italy's ags prime minister makes another major gaffe praising a former dictator on holocaust remembrance day and to our website for the story. plus prosecutors in romania seem to be hitting a dead end as they set free another group of suspects from an october aren't theft at the rotterdam museum the details are at r t dot com. the global political and financial elite met up in the swiss resort of davos this week
7:18 pm
to discuss ways of driving europe out of the crisis but as artie's katie pilbeam reports there were many promises made at the world economic forum but no clear solutions offered. 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 the to work out what exactly was achieved here first so we had russian prime minister dmitry medvedev 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 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
7:19 pm
e.u. referendum for the british public in twenty seventy the business community here they felt that that was a grammar 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 or thirty 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 pains unemployment for the youth coming out at sixty percent we also had 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
7:20 pm
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. the annual world economic forum was certainly shaken up by a speech this week by the british prime minister david cameron there's artes and her farmer reports the long anticipated address on u.k.'s future relations with the e.u. has ruffled a few feathers at home as well 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 see is when 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 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 the euro skeptics within his tory party there are
7:21 pm
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 of a e.u. members are less sympathetic denmark says that the e.u. is not a self-service buffet 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 the euro skeptics it also appears that he's driving a wedge between britain and other e.u. member states andrew farmer. london. european parliament member and the deputy leader of the u.k. independence party paul not all says the prime minister is once again trying to delay solving the long standing issue. the point is that renegotiation is going to
7:22 pm
be nigh on impossible we've had a helm of under-employed the presence of the european council you've had a man well but also you've had a shawl tuesday president of the european parliament you've had the dutch prime minister and the list can go on of all of these people who are saying that britain's cannot pay for this is an attempt by cameron to kick this issue with the long grass we're talking about a referendum five years down the line and it's all dependent on whether he wins the next general election or not and we know that if you look at the polls today it's showing quite clearly that camera will struggle to win the election so i do think that this is an attempt to kick it into the long grass and quite frankly this man has lied before and referendums he gave as a cast doubt and say that we were right we would have the best friends and on our membership of lisbon he went back on that referendum pledge so i don't think he can be trusted on this issue. coming up israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu received enough votes to secure his second term but how much support does he really
7:23 pm
have. later in the program find out how despite winning a majority in the country's parliament more political juggling is still required. plus the f.b.i. prefers to keep of the american people in the dark by completely blacking out documents about u.s. domestic surveillance techniques that a court to create required to be shared with the public this story and much more after a short break. the first baby steps are joy. folds and bones are not a big deal. but they can cause terrible trauma. for children can be broken by dare touch. and only the will of life can make opening. and sores

7:27 pm
parliamentary election this week but suffered a serious setback the results gave his right wing likud better new block the narrowest of victories with just thirty one out of one hundred twenty seats now netanyahu will have to struggle to form a broad and stable coalition to govern israel that could be a challenge as other right wing and orthodox religious parties one half the seats in the parliament analysts predict the focus for netanyahu will be bread and butter issues facing his nation not foreign policy columnist for israel's ha'aretz newspaper gideon levy says the controversy over iran's nuclear program is unlikely to give him enough support. to tell you always very devoted to this issue and he believes almost in a religious way that he's here to say the state of israel in the jewish people from the danger of iranian bomb. but he would have been. more difficult this time
7:28 pm
because at least on this topic he would find fewer partners who would support it because i think that this kind of adventure without the minister of defense old barak will support the then we'll look most. probably in the coming government. finds himself more isolated barack obama second. no doubt that he will not let this happen but you know does not react already very racially. so i wouldn't exclude because that i was so devoted about it but the chances are much smaller now both because the new government mystically and the old new president in the white house the prospects for palestinian statehood will be another important issue for the israeli prime minister the peace deal is now deadlocked with netanyahu saying more settler homes will be built in his third term
