7:01 am
live from our studios in moscow you're watching archie with me and he said now it's good to have you with us four pm here in the russian capital two pm in cairo where we begin our hour this at four o'clock the state of emergency and curfews there by egypt's president in three provinces in fact haven't stopped egyptians from battling security forces as protesters continue to vent their anger against the government the deadly unrest is in its fifth day having been sparked by protests marking the second anniversary of two thousand and eleven revolution here's bell true with the latest from cairo. president obama issued a state of emergency yesterday in three cities susan is the lead i've seen the worst of the violence in the last three days he also employees a curfew between nine pm and six am there have already been calls for protests to break this curfew starting at eight pm tonight they say in defiance of the president's what this will mean on the ground is likely to be several street
7:02 am
battles between security forces and protesters as they remain on the streets also according to egyptian emergency law security forces are now able to rest citizens and detain them proper thirty days without charges to likely to see a wave of arrests across those three cities as people have violate the curfew and clash with police but the violence continues here in the capital as well as security forces are firing tear gas. government protests as they have been all night quite dramatic scenes taken as is taking going to hold is done time kyra leaving many to question whether the president may actually was he to carry a curfew here in the capital as well some have welcomed the move by the president to impose this state of emergency and he had been criticized for sitting on the fence how the opposition coalition the national salvation front assume and taking a stance against the president they are demanding that the cabinet resign the constitution be revoked and the national salvation government take over so it's
7:03 am
unlikely that they will actually have dialogue with the president on this point there's also protests planned today across the country in particular in the capital against the president who they see as illegitimate this is also marking the second anniversary of january twenty eighth one of the bloodiest days of the eight hundred they are rising which saw the protesters take to hurry for the first time really in this growing crisis is going to be a lot of pressure on the president to make this these dialogues work with the opposition and sort of the crisis across the country. well president morsi has called on all political groups to participate in a national dialogue this monday but political activists i mean found the says it's down to the protesters to keep confronting the government if they want things to change alyse feel that people in the street. it challenges them a challenge that or thirty particularly in terms of situational amendment we are hearing all the times that people in the muslim brotherhood do not want to change
7:04 am
the constitution and seize as a constitution is a pistol over the globe. saw i think is the more people exercise pressure on them the more they can react positively under try to accommodate all political trends and all political factions within a new political system i'm afraid the muslim brotherhood would like to manipulate the state operators force of sake people speaking about this issue and we have to build a new democratic system build on. neutral state apparatus in egypt and others a state appointed to serving one political party. is still in that initial period. a great collaboration over the last four years that's how u.s. president barack obama described his first term in office with hillary clinton who's now leaving the post of secretary of state both appeared in

a joint televised interview as america's top diplomat prepares to step down let's take a closer look at how the duo defended their foreign policy in the middle east while responding to calls for decisive action in the region obama cited egypt as one of the examples of where his administration played a leading role in aiding regime change this is exactly what he said i think had it not been for the leadership we showed you might have seen a different outcome we do nobody a service when we leap before we look make sense right but this as continuing on refs in mass protests lead egyptian president morsi as we just heard to declare a state of emergency and nightly curfews. so as we see there violence reigning in egypt and across the region really let's take a little bit of a licks a look i should say as the region as a whole in terms of what they think of obama president obama promoted change in the country that used to enjoy high approval ratings among. there if we take egypt
7:06 am
pacifically recent polls though show that the leader has witnessed a sharp drop in his popularity in the region especially in egypt look at it in terms of international policies foreign policies from thirty four percent to fifteen percent in twenty twelve now another legacy of obama's first term in office was his handling of the revolt in libya again the president saying washington's foreign policy made a difference that's despite criticisms that the administration hasn't been proactive enough in the region that they're not taking a harder line obama himself says moammar gadhafi might not agree with that statement of course let's remember he was brutally killed after the nato invasion of his country also to september attack. in the u.s. embassy in benghazi in libya that left four top american officials dead including the ambassador and raise questions about america's handling of the situation post
7:07 am
gadaffi obama that we're not going to be able to control every aspect of every transition and transformation sometimes they're going to go sideways now both obama and clinton admit the conflict in neighboring syria should be handled carefully with the u.s. president has a ten on whether intervention there would help resolve the crisis maybe that's perhaps why we haven't seen intervention yet well journalist an antiwar activist don de bar says the u.s. foreign policy in the middle east has been a failure. look at the condition of the world right now and know that hillary clinton has been active active for four years the really disheartening thing about the show which is what it was shown on sixty minutes exclusively in the states was they spent an awful lot of time trying to explain to people how these two former primary campaign two thousand and eight adversaries could work together for four years and barack obama saying if it wasn't for hillary clinton we wouldn't
7:08 am
have achieved success in libya the fact that this country which was bombed for eight months by nato by the u.s. and its allies with thousands of people dying many homes and the infrastructure that was built up in the last forty years being devastated in the front of the people shouldn't surprise anyone that clinton avoided the actual testimony and so everyone else had testified which is what any witness wants to do because then you can't be contradicted by any subsequent testimony and at this point in time she's leaving with glasses we were reminded several times that are consequence of the brain injury she suffered that didn't allow her to testify and now she's being you know patted on the back by obama for. success in libya that she still has an account for the failure of its fergie's its it's like watching teenagers. to bahrain now where authorities are set for
7:09 am

7:10 am
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 thought she she was beating me and she electrocuted 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 some 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 say if you had suffered for speaking out against the regime and 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 taken to the jail last year many
7:11 am
protester and in jail where torture insults and money we have a story and testimony of people and protester being tortured and the jail but in my country protests there were tortured inside. britain now there 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. has been officially charged by police she denies all allegations against her meanwhile the guy. woman stands resumed but the action is to convince the hospital was the right thing to do i went and these doctors managed to control the emergency unit in the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political acts when a hospital is journeyed to a base for political ethnic work and this is
7:12 am
a real disaster we had an unbiased committee investigating the hospital condemn the acts of these doctors as. the case against one of the members of the world family may seem as an indication the 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 lets you see reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. well still to come here on our team fighting to stay afloat we'll take a look at one of britain's oldest local shops that's found a way to fight against superstar expansion and the struggling economy. also could

welcome back you're watching our live from moscow with me and he said now way well if you're interested in the russian military you can get a closer look at it by taking a drive on the country's roads that's right battle ready aircraft and heavily armored machinery comes within meters of those driving on russia's highways earlier artie's tom barton told me what sort of military hardware you could end up seeing. you can't see anything of the moment is this driver making his way along the road and suddenly screaming out of the distance comes this fighter jet just fifty meters above the road this helicopter doing the same thing coming in very very low over a driver who is just changing lanes at the time he was apparently training for
7:17 am
search and rescue missions himself and then later on in the city of new gil in the urals we'll see just minor business driving along and suddenly a tank comes across the road someone hasn't worked out how to use the brakes yet i think he was the tank was on his way on the way from the tank factory nearby over to a test range of the side of the road the drivers of that car a little bit shocked to see it emerge at that sort of pace there were some bits of investigations but in each of the cases the aviation authority here found that that was all with procedures low flying trainings quite important we also find for that for the helicopter training that is also very necessary and as the as the local aviation authority said all the investigators looking into it said people like seeing helicopters swooping about to know that there are forces is there so i suppose it's the view that argument as well and that as far as the tank goes the
7:18 am
tank fracture himself said this is totally normal the tanks have to drive across the reason actually a red light that is you can't just see it's just off screen showing drivers perhaps not very well they should have stopped and the tanks actually saying people should watch out their tanks about. an hour and he dot com right now for you have to or a failed run for presidency russell's billionaire businessman turned politician nicole proper of is i guess a seat in the state duma find out more on line. are there for you on holocaust remembrance day in aleve acts prime minister silvio berlusconi causes outrage suggesting the country's former dictator mr leni did. well despite his anti semitic will find out more on our t.v. dot com. a multi million dollar tax evasion case has been rescheduled in moscow ahead of a u.k. based investment fund will now be tried in absentia to you know with british

7:20 am
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 process of national reconciliation held under the control of the international community or and live civil war there is no in-between. the full interview with prime minister to me is available for you on our website our team dot com. the search for survivors of sunday's russian fishing

7:23 am
have warned that recent heavy snowfall has heightened the risk of britain heading into a triple dip recession that with the country's independent retailers under constant pressure from supermarket chains archies probably boyko want to see how one small business has managed to turn the tide and even thrive. it's older than buckingham palace and tower bridge and it's been a local store in the heart of rural easting land for three hundred and seventy years visitors who stumble across the village shop in this remote region of norfolk say that it's like an oasis in the middle of the desert. it was faced with going out of business and till twenty five villages stepped in raise five thousand pounds to keep it open and offered to work there for free i couldn't live in this village without. the community made sure the village with. the free workforce allows it to stay open and breakeven i think people who are happy in
7:24 am
their lives by working for free. to come in and do something knowing that your contribution has a meaning or purpose isn't. it just heritage and we've got to make sure he does continue to the next generation volunteers who run the say that there are two secrets to success the locally sourced produce means that the propping up the local economy take for example your free range eggs delivered from a nearby village there's a second recess secrets that the famous chocolate biscuits customers travel far and wide for this homemade treat but even with volunteers staying open is hard the onslaught of major national chains has immense buying power it tempts shoppers with food sold for next to nothing has killed off thousands of independent british shops leaving ghost villages in their wake when obviously we're up against supermarkets and we all use supermarkets but to be able to have
7:25 am
a local store which does local produce and is something where you can chat to people meet everybody the gossip that goes on in here is amazing it would be dreadful if we'd all sit through something like this you can never get it back again and then not alone in getting together to save the 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 offer cafes they're offering postal services and 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 its hearing and shop open and so be it you enjoy it. you know they do it's the kind of spirit
7:26 am
that could see this tiny store weather the worst and hate the stay open for another three hundred eighty is plenty see north norfolk u.k. but certainly on archie david cameron's decision to hold a vote on britain's eve future is that for debate and cross talk don't go away. rep or loopy fiasco actually caused a fiasco by singing a song highly critical of president obama ironically at a concert in honor of his second inauguration according to the huffington post he was thrown off stage by security for insulting the dear leader the sounds really bad like something out of one thousand nine hundred four where thoughts come out of nowhere the second you say something out of line about the party. to the song loop
7:27 am
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 and on the so i think security just wanted to silence him in general not silence his anti obama opinions so you know whoopee 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. please.
7:28 am
chloe and welcome to cross talk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle facing hard realities for committing an act of selfish political following these are some of the reactions to david cameron's call for a real negotiated relationship with the e.u. and then a referendum on future membership would britain and the e.u. be better off going separate ways. to cross-talk britain in the e.u. i'm joined by tony helper in london he's a journalist for the times also in london we have robert oulds he is director of the bruges group and in brussels we crossed to year ago. he is a liberal member of the european parliament and head of the german business association tony i'd like to go to you first in london it seems to me that the
7:29 am
britons position in the european union is equivalent to how americans feel about gun control people get really excited about it here is cameron cameron playing politics for his personal agenda and getting reelected in the thing more. i think there's a great deal of that cameron's effectively offering voters a chance to decide on the e.u. membership after the next election and implicitly therefore they should vote for him at the election in order to get that chance so mr cameron is effectively trying to eliminate the threat posed by the u.k. independence party and push labor and liberal democrats into what he considers to be an unpopular position with voters of denying voters an opportunity to decide the e.u. future so the north a lot of domestic politics involved in this initiative ok before i go to robert i mean it's quite transparent isn't it i mean it's cynical politics i mean how does the average briton feel about this or can you say that about an average agree on this i think i think the average briton won't really mind if they.
