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 just by the growing turmoil u.s. president barack obama held egypt and libya as a 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 reported from bahrain where doctors say they face the same brutal treatment as anti-government protesters they're trying to say.

it's seven pm here in moscow five pm in cairo egypt where we begin our top story this hour and the opposition there have refused to attend talks called for by the president to try and stop the turmoil gripping the country the state of emergency and curfews declared in three provinces haven't stopped egyptians from battling security forces as protesters continue to vent their anger against the government for five days in a row for the latest let's now cross live to cairo we are joined by bell true who is there reporting for us about what's the word coming from the opposition why have they refused dialogue with president morsi. the opposition forces in that in the form of the national salvation front released a statement saying they refuse dialogue with the. resident as he has not accepted

responsibility for the violence across the country and for the bloodshed they say they will only gaze only and to dialogue with him if he takes it seriously will they instead saying if they want a not so salvation government they want the cabinet to resign and the constitution to be revoked and in the meantime here in cairo the cabinet i'm sure officer approves the law allowing the armed forces to arrest civilians if this gets approved by the church council it's likely to meet a lot of opposition from human rights groups as they worry that many civilians will face military trial. so this is very reminiscent of a cairo that i saw when i was there a year ago also two years ago talk we're still be grieving tear gas is there any sign that this violence will end any time soon. but the moment the clashes infamous and to continue just off to his credit here to my to my right between anti-government protesters and security forces that has been going on all through

the night stick of filth in the downtown hundreds of gathering sorry right now with much is expected from across the capital into the central to hurry square against the president mean on impulse i.e. there has been a funeral today for those killed during the clashes yesterday during another key route which was the protesters killed the day before the looks like the violence is yours and any crime scene particularly as there have been calls for protests breaking because president mohamed morsi announced a safety measure to cross three cities in the capital is in serious full sight if las and because these protesters in these areas have said they will break that they will come to the streets to express their defense against the president we're likely to see this evening is several arrests and quite a lot more violence. right bill true on the ground in cairo reporting for our thank you for that update on what's happening in the egyptian capital. now 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 is 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 well if we're responding responding i should say to calls for decisive action in the region obama cited egypt as an example of where his administration played a leading role in aiding regime change this is exactly what he had to say i think had it not been for the leadership that we showed you might have seen a very different outcome there we do nobody a service when we leap before we look but as we just heard from bell true in cairo unrest a mass protests are continuing and leading the egyptian president morsi to declare a state of emergency and nightly curfew so violence reigns there president obama

promoted change in the country and used to in fact enjoy a high approval rating among egyptians as well as the muslim world let's take a look at some recent numbers according to a poll you can see that. there is a sharp drop in his approval in muslim countries especially when compared to europe look at the foreign policy numbers thirty four percent back in two thousand and nine now down to fifteen percent approval rate in twenty twelve well let's move on to another another country in the middle east libya there of course president obama. in this interview talked about the success there. talked about success in libya and in fact made a very kind of i think it might be say with a comment about a good saffy he is facing criticism there that his america has not taken enough. action and in response to that he claims that gadhafi moammar gadhafi himself

probably would have to disagree with that let's remember those violent pictures brutal pictures we saw in fact of him being murdered after eight months of a nato led intervention there also let's remember september and attack on the u.s. embassy in benghazi that was a rebel stronghold for top american officials dead there raise questions of course about how america handled the situation post gadaffi obama's words on that we are not going to be able to control every aspect of every transition and transformation sometimes they're going to go sideways clearly they're talking about the attack on the american embassy both obama and clinton admit that conflict in syria should be handled carefully perhaps that's a lesson learned from libya u.s. president has a tent there on whether intervention would help resolve the crisis well journalists and antiwar activist don de bar says the u.s.

foreign policy across the region 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 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 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 is leaving with glasses we were reminded several times that are consequence of he 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 it's pretty it's it's like watching teenagers. to buck rain now where authorities are set for a new round of talks with the opposition later this week that's amid continuing crackdowns on anti regime rallies across the nation the sunni monarchy has widely a key it's been widely accused by rights groups of using tear gas and torture against protesters as are to the lexer seventy reports even those who try and treat the injured demonstrators say 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 taking 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 torture she she was beating me and she looked at me almost two dozen doctors were arrested like this for the fuel the anger of the protesters and turned the hospital grounds into the

scene of the round 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 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 in the gated beaten and taking 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 or 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 way 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 of took against the hospital was the right thing to do so i went and these doctors managed to control the emergency unit and the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political and one hospital was journeyed to a base for political ethnic work and this is a real disaster when we had an unbiased committee investigating the hospital to 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 the continuing accusations of human rights violations are intensifying the opposition is still wondering what happens in the places where the cameras cannot see let's you were shots to see reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. still to come here on our t.v. fighting to stay afloat we take a look at one of britain's oldest locals that's found a way to fight against superstar expansion and a struggling economy. also would you expect a tank to cut in front of you on a highway while the details of this road incident are coming up on r.t. .
