here. by no means all right. more violent unrest in egypt despite curfews and a state of emergency declared in parts of the country the opposition rejects calls from the president for national dialogue. and despite the growing turmoil u.s. president barack obama held egypt and libya as success stories for american foreign policy this in a t.v. interview where he also praised the outgoing secretary of state hillary clinton for helping him out with regime change. and we report from bahrain where doctors say they face the same brutal treatment as anti-government protesters they are trying to save.

life from our studios in moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now our top story this hour the state of emergency and curfews declared by egypt's president in three provinces haven't stopped egyptians from battling security forces as protesters continue to vent their anger against the government now the deadly unrest is in its fifth day and has been sparked by protests marking the second anniversary of the two thousand and eleven revolution beltre reports for archie from cairo. president of morsi issued the state of emergency yesterday in three cities and susan it's been a they've seen the worst of the violence in the last three days he also increased a curfew between nine pm and six am to have already been called for protests to break this curfew starting at eight pm tonight they say in defiance of the

president what this will mean on the ground is that likely to be several street 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 and detain them probably thirty days without charges to allow you to see a wave of unrest across these three cities as people have violate the curfew and clashed with police but the violence continues here in the capital as well security forces are firing tear gas and government protesters they have been quite dramatic scenes takeouts is taking over the whole of downtime kyra leaving many to question whether the president may and she was able to carry a curfew here in the capital as well some have welcomed the move by the president to impose this state of emergency as he had been criticized for sitting on the fence how the opposition coalition the national salvation front assume maintaining a stance against the president they are demanding that the cabinets of resign the constitution be revoked and the national salvation government take over so it's

unlikely that they will actually have dialogue with the president 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 eighteen day 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 some a thousand he 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. challenge them a challenge there or thirty particularly in terms of constitutional amendment we

are hearing all the times that people in muslim brotherhood do not want to change the constitution and seasons a constitution is a pistol over the globe. saw i think is the more people exercise placed on them the more they can react to positively and try to accommodate all political trends and all political factions within a. new political system i'm afraid that the muslim brotherhood would like to manipulate the state apparatus for the sake people speaking about this issue and we have to build a new democratic system build on. neutral state apparatus in egypt and others i state a party to serving one political party. or you are 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 of

course is now leaving the post of secretary of state well both appeared in a joint televised interview as america's top diplomat prepares to step down let's take a closer look at how they do defended their foreign policy in the middle east well responding to calls for decisive action in the region obama cited egypt as one of the examples of where his administration play a leading role in aiding regime change specifically he said that i think it had if it had not been for the leadership we showed you might have seen a different outcome there we do nobody a service when we leap before we look sounds fair enough but as we've just heard from bell true continuing on dress and mass protests are happening in egypt and the president has declared a state of emergency and nightly curfew so violence there reigns president obama who in fact of course like he upheld in this interview promoted change in the country and used to enjoy quite high approval ratings across the muslim world but

if we look at some numbers a recent poll has suggested that there's been a sharp drop in popularity in the region take a look at these numbers in terms of foreign policy international policy so to say thirty four percent back in two thousand and nine now at a mere fifteen percent in twenty twelve well 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 well it certainly made a difference but despite criticisms the administration hasn't been proactive enough in the region obama quite wittily it seems saying that moammar gadhafi probably would not agree with that assessment let's remember those violent pictures of him being brutally murdered after eight months of nato intervention. let's take also this of temper attack on the u.s. embassy in benghazi that was a top rebel stronghold it left four top american officials dead including the

ambassador and raise questions that hillary is still in fact answering about about the handling of the situation post gadhafi that obama says we are not going to be able to control every aspect of every transition and transformation sometimes they're going to go sideways so a little bit of taking credit for what he sees as pluses saying well we can't control everything when he's answering to criticism now both obama and clinton admit that the conflict in syria should be handled carefully perhaps because of what we saw in libya the aftermath i should say in libya will the president has it in clearly on whether or not intervention would help resolve the crisis there journalist an antiwar activist though don de bar says u.s. foreign policy in the region has been a complete failure. look at the condition of the world right now and know that hillary clinton has been active active for four years really disheartening thing

about the show which is what it was shown on sixty minutes exclusively in the united states was this present 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 wouldn't have achieved success in libya the fact that this country which was bombed for eight months by nato by the us and its allies with thousands of people dying many homes and the infrastructure that was built up in the last forty years being devastated the front of the people shouldn't surprise anyone the clinton the avoided the actual testimony and so everyone else that 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 consequences of brain injury she suffered that didn't allow

her to testify and now she's being you know patted on the back by obama forest success in libya that she still has an account for the failure of its ferdie's its it's like washington teenagers. to bahrain now where authorities are set for a new round of talks with the opposition later this week amid the continuing crackdown and rallies across the nation the sunni monarchy has been widely accused by rights groups of using tear gas and torture against protesters as artie's aleck's there are seventy reports even those who try and treat the injured demonstrators think they are being victimized. 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 or forty's turned their attention to her and her colleagues who were providing first a they deny. health care to the patients and

protesters. the doctors did not obey the orders for such. 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 was beating me and she electrocuted me almost two dozen doctors were arrested like this for the few of 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

a human rights activists or 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 would be arrested beaten and taken to the jail last year many 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 protester 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. 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 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 condemn the acts of these doctors and 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. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain.

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 was just changing lanes at the time he was apparently training for 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 though to see it emerge at that sort of pace there were some 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 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 that argument as well and as far as the tank goes the tank fracture himself said this is totally normal the tanks have to drive across the result of 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 tank factory saying people should watch out their tanks about. an hour to dot com right now after a failed run for president the russian billionaire businessman turned politician broker of is eyeing a seat in the state duma find out more on line. by its fancy a free pass to the theater well an american performing arts center is offering just that all you have to do is post live coverage of the performance and twitter find. more at r t v dot com. a

say that it's like an oasis in the middle of the does it. 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 nature of the village which is the free workforce allows it to stay open and breakeven i think people are happy in their lives by working for free. to come in and do something knowing that your contribution has a meaning and purpose isn't ours it is heritage and we've got to make sure it does continue for the next generation volunteers who run the stop say that there are two secrets to success the locally sourced produce means that propping up the local economy take for example your free range eggs delivered from a nearby village there's a second recess secret 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 is immense buying power tempts shoppers with food sold for next to nothing has killed off thousands of independent british shops leaving ghost villages and 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 is something where you can chat to people you meet everybody the gossip goes on and here is amazing it would be dreadful if we don't stitch 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 community 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're really punching above

their weight so community shops are offering something. very often quite different from what a supermarket is. is offering for example they offer 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 him shop open and so be it you know in jail you know surge to really do it's the kind of spirit that could see this tiny stall whether the worst and hopefully stay open for another three hundred years playboy see north norfolk u.k. up next year in r.t. we review the top sports headlines of the past week which case.
