2:03 am
for sitting on the fence how the opposition coalition the national salvation front assume untamed stance against the president they are demanding that the cabinets of resign the constitution be revoked and the national salvation government take over to the unlikely that they will actually have dialogue with the president this point this also for a test run today across the country in particular in the capital against the president who they see as illegitimate this is also a monkey the second anniversary of january twenty eighth one of the bloodiest days of the eight hundred they are rising we sure. protesters take to haiti for the first time really in this growing crisis is going to be a lot of pressure on the president to make this dialogue work with the opposition and sort of the crisis across the country. thanks very much indeed for bringing us the sub date local reporter bel truth in cairo. while political activists some i thought he says the muslim brotherhood led government will look to maintain

the status quo unless factions from the entire political spectrum put pressure on them a list the fear that people in the street. challenge them a challenge that all thirty four think clearly in terms of going to seduce the amendment we are hearing all the times that people in the muslim brotherhood do not want to change the constitution and seize as a constitution is a pistol over the globe. saw i think is a more people to exercise position on them. reacted positively and to try to accommodate all political demands and all political factions within a new political system i'm afraid the muslim brotherhood would like to manipulate the state operate this force of sake people speaking about this issue and we have to build a new democratic system build the. new tunnel put it this in egypt and others
2:05 am
a state a party to serving one political party. still in that period while with bahrain beset by violent attack government protests those in the medical field seem to be increasingly targeted by the authorities doctors say they're suffering severe return for treating injured protesters where the government investigating some of those allegations. looks now at whether those helping others in the kingdom are the ones at risk. nada dhaif was among a group of doctors who were trying to help the injured during a protest in bahrain she claims that after violently crushing the dissent the all thora she's turned their attention to her and her colleagues who were providing first aid they deny. health care to the patients and protesters. the doctors did not obey the orders for such.
2:06 am
decided to punish those doctors i was taken to a place for ten days that i didn't know where it was. all that time i was blindfolded and handcuffed i was in a solitary confinement for back to twenty one days. and they would just open the door of the cell and beat me up and there was a member of the royal family who directly was responsible of my torch or she she was beating me and she looked cute to me almost two dozen doctors were arrested back then this for the fuel the anger of the protesters and turned the hospitals grounds into the scene of the rally the sound money hospital is bahrain's leading medical institution and that's where most of the arrests have been made after those events it now looks like a fortress guarded heavily by the right police and not everybody can get in human rights activists or if you had suffered for speaking out against the regime and
2:07 am
decided to come here for treatment you could make matters even worse for yourself anyone who was injured from the protests they cannot go to the hospital because they will be arrested interrogated beaten and taking to the jail last year many protester and in jail where thirty other insults and money are we have a story and testimony of people and protesters being tortured and but in my country protests there were tortured inside. britain not who was charged with treason and sentenced to fifteen years in prison before being acquitted because of what she believed to be international pressure on bahrain's government the fate of many other doctors remains unclear the person who allegedly tortured not and others princes have been. has been officially charged by police she denies all allegations against her meanwhile the guy. woman stands resumed that the action it took against the hospital was the right thing to do. these doctors managed to control the
2:08 am
emergency unit in the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political acts when a hospital is turned into a base for political ethic work this is a real disaster we had an unbiased committee investigating the hospital eight condemn the acts of these doctors as. the case against one of the members of the world family may seem as an indication that bahrain's government has bowed to the negative global reaction with the doctor scandal being far from the only torture accusation c.c.t.v. cameras have been installed at all prisons in a move to become more transparent according to the authorities but with protests in the gulf states still continuing and accusations of human rights violations intensifying the opposition is still wondering what happens in the places where the cameras cannot see. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. well so i have for you the u.s.

2:11 am
welcome back you're watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow a posthumous trial will take place for disease russian laura sergei magnitsky who is charged with tax evasion the investigation against him was close after he died in pretrial detention in a van or two thousand and nine but was later reopened the circumstances of his death sparked criticism in the u.s. affect the relations between moscow and washington are going off has the details.
2:12 am
officially this is the first post most trial in russia's history but it seems this is not so much about city magnitsky anymore but about his former employer william browder who used to be the head of the russian office of her british capital investment fund the prosecution believes that the fund was around twenty million dollars short give or take in its taxes and since most of these q was it account he was directly responsible for dealing with taxes that suspected that he submitted a fake receipts while mr browder may have authorized that if he was detained then william browder managed to leave russia to the u.k. he's a british citizen and london has been refusing to actually buy him what monies get himself claimed that he had revealed a massive corruption seem in walding senior russian officials but unfortunately he died in that pretrial detention center before and either him or the authorities
2:13 am
could prove their claims also the circumstances of his death and officially he died from heart problems the investigation into that he did not reveal any violations from your stories while he was held in this pretrial detention center nevertheless in the west of human needs he is largely viewed specially in the states as the victim of various human rights violations and the so-called might lead to the acts passed recently by american lawmakers it gives the green light to sanctioning a russian official suspected very in the us of being connected to the violations of human rights according to of russia's prime minister dmitry did of this not only a political politicized case but also this act to go against all international laws and norms but i'm not but i will because that each country has the right to deny any country's citizen an entry visa to its territory. this is something normal but
2:14 am
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 in 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 a list of individuals who have been involved in a crime what do you think it is if not an extra judicial execution of the convicts these individuals without any trial or prosecution but it shifts so that no one talks about it so the magnitsky act only started in the u.s. moscow warns that we will view it as an unfriendly act and that will will be a massive response and russia lawmakers did pass a law a sort of the russian blacklist which also sanctions american citizens different categories of those connected to why lesions of human rights like
2:15 am
connected to the go on to animal prison or to the violation of the rights of russian citizens and then fold that was of the general ban for all americans to adopt russian children due to the many cases of the violations of their rights sometimes of even that first by i mean it was viewed as part of russia's response to the london ski act but now. the prime minister has said again that although the general adoption ban was passed on the way an emotional week caused by the monkey act defacto and legally these things are not connected. well dimitri medvedev also spoke about the conflict in the syria he says unless the country starts a reconciliatory process it will face an endless civil war moscow remains neutral while maintaining that foreign intervention should be ruled out but the prime minister did say time is not on president assad side. you know
2:16 am
i think there are fewer chances for him to stay 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 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 and other confessions they are already doing this that's why there are two options either it will be a protest 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 see the full interview with prime minister me to read that if on our website r.t. dot com. meanwhile u.s.

2:25 am
now wait well obviously we're up against supermarkets and we all use supermarkets but to be able to have a local store which does local produce and it's something where you can chat to people everybody the gossip that goes on in here is amazing it would be dreadful if we did it because once you lose something like this you can never get it back again and they're not alone in getting together to save their small shop from extinction there are three hundred other communities stores in some of the u.k.'s most rural pockets winning customers by knowing that retail means detail so operating in really difficult economic times but they really punching above their weight shops are offering something. very often quite different from what a supermarket is. offering for example they are cafes they're offering postal services they're offering somewhere to go in and talk to your neighbors and your friends and if working for free is what it takes to keep it hearing and shop open

nowhere the second you say something out of line about the party. to the song loop it was singing had been going on for thirty minutes at that point this rant was more like a hip hop filibuster stopping the whole show and dragging on and on there and the so i think security just wanted to silence him in general not silence as anti obama opinions so you know loopy next time when you want to bring up obama's drone usage or total disregard for the constitution then keep it under three minutes everything will be just fine but that's just my opinion.
