it is not am in the russian capital you're watching r t. welcome to the program. thousands of anti-government protesters an edge of their ignoring president morsi curfew by taking to the streets across the country some demonstrators imports eight attacked police stations while sos and so has marched towards government buildings the opposition has meanwhile refused to answer talks with the president earlier implemented a state of emergency in the areas most affected by the unrest the government also approved a law giving the military the power to arrest citizens in going violence has now claimed at least fifty two lives since it broke out friday the true who was in the epicenter of the action in the capital reports for iraq to. resign yes you can see police in the city first night forsyte seriously thousands see the site was. i. mean this sense has

to beginning of the peace process. because i think this is i think said we could and i would say continue this princess to forsyte. this. place to. start. the process tell you this once and for us three instead pushing for a national salvation government state very hard like. she said. you know your face well you know this is a very loud city rests in cities that have been widely seen. as well we continue to say that catching up to cover of protesters and security forces continued for days and i stayed away from the first week i said just take us i was joking. and i always feel good advice from the forces of good stuff today

protesters coming off the front lines what's interesting i personally witnessed you protest this coming days they. interest here she forces truck from the police driven and the fence it is worth it for me to take this to you or to you police officer this is a pretty great tension between the security forces and the first and it's not like this situation and see. they gyptian government is struggling to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis after its offer for talks was shunned by the major opposition parties dr sites a direct political sociologist at the american university in cairo says there is little immediate prospect of the situation stabilizing. experience of their logging was a president what what was called the national dialogue has been a failure and so they don't want to give the person the. photo opportunity of the sitting and nothing happens there were many experiences in

which opposition would suppose the government and the president agree on something and then after a while you'll find that there was no agreement and that is why he decided not to join also they feel that the president and the government the current government is in top end and so they don't want to give it a new lease of life or maybe it's a board so that the government becomes stronger again so the future this is a time to persia talk as far as we can tell that we are egypt is going to be in for some time before all is the allies of the cost of keeping this conflict is going to be too damaging for everybody once you all realize that nobody is going to be winnowed if this conflict continues then he will have democracy but as long as everybody some people believe that we will be winning if we keep but personally and decision of the government and the government believes that if they keep persia having the opposition there would be women there would be no stability in the

country president obama is turning to law enforcement officials from cities scarred by recent mass shootings for support of his gun control policy obama wants police chiefs and county sheriffs to back his plans to curb gun violence including a ban on assault weapons but the idea has divided the nation with maggie pointing to their cause a to tional right to bear arms artist ganesh account reports. white house proposals to regulate gun sales there are a wave of protest among those who believe the second amendment of the constitution is in danger as are amendment that there are a right arms it is a god given right to the sanctity of the second amendment to meet heated national debate someone makers of even threaten to impeach the president to protect the constitution we're going to use every tool possible to fight in the ministration which wants to ever get constitution but do u.s. lawmakers feel strongly about all amendments of that same constitution last month

congress seamlessly without much ado passed legislation which gives the government sweeping powers to eavesdrop on communications and review e-mails of anyone they want it's called the foreign intelligence surveillance act the president amendments act completely is an infringement on your fourth amendment right against unlawful search and seizure and basically does away with the probable cause require and then there's been no national debate on the fourth amendment the mainstream media have been mute on the subject so to score it now as people don't even know about it if you're really savvy and you read a lot of online media you might have heard about pfizer being reauthorized otherwise you're just totally unaware of it and how can you have an opinion on something that you're unaware of that proved to be true as we went out to ask people whether they knew what feisal was and what it could do to their fourth amendment rights have you heard about feisty but you know no sorry i think i have some idea that it has to do with our taxes but i don't really know but not

surprisingly the same people that have opinions on gun control to keep our guns we're pretty pro-gun control right now the government spying bill is not the only legislation that sneaked under the radar of public debate indefinite detention of americans without trial made legal is seen by many lawyers as a blatant violation of the fifth amendment which guarantees due process that was. something that should have been discussed in the presidential debates and people were begging the moderators to mention this it was never mentioned it was just not a part of the debates the constitution may be sacred to many in the us but it seems in washington to bypass it it's enough to say to magic words national security to do is pass these bills i feel like all that has to happen is literally like dianne feinstein waves a letter and says national security and they fear mongering begins and shuts down any kind of debate yet we're having

a freewheeling debate on guns some argue it's money that keeps the gun debate at the forefront the national rifle association reportedly spent around twenty four million dollars on congressional elections last year and even more on lobbying to an extent when even as the majority of americans support some regulation on guns gun is dizziness believe no substantive legislation will be passed by the congress he is not going to be able to get anything through congress so i think that the second amendment will be ok the media in the us essentially broke into two camps each bringing all kinds of arguments against the other both sides again and again reading into the text of the second amendment or doing what proposal would or would not be infringe on the people's rights as nasty as they get sometimes but that's what a national debate should look like but one can't help asking where was that big that heated debate when other liberties were at stake in washington i'm going to check

out. so i have to the syrian opposition seeks more a cold was once promised find a little support from the western backers but france warning extremists could infiltrate power into help isn't forthcoming. and for terrorism numerous issues are to be examined during pretrial hearings at guantanamo bay including cia secret prisons. that's coming up after a short break. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for way you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's you some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged with a big. welcome

back you're watching r.t. live from moscow as the british government continues with public sector spending cuts in a battle with financial woes it appears their reality of a sterile he is starting to bite the number of homeless people in the u.k. is dramatically increasing passing fifty thousand across the country boyko met some of those forced to sleep rough. it's freezing cold wet and hungry there's nowhere for you to go to dry off and no money in your pockets this street is all you've got and there's no one that will help you welcome to. the case capital homelessness. remember right. in there she said drop grandma don't have one. foot out i mean you shouldn't be home really there's a lot of people you called me a short time wanted me

a car park where people live. all over the place this is why i got. there you. yes you read you are here michael is by no means alone in fact the number of homeless people in britain has skyrocketed by twenty five percent since twenty ten reaching fifty thousand people in twenty twelve the biggest spike in the city of you don't think again people can see you can be walking past you can be sleeping next to warsaw. for. the cold this is stupid specially this time we have to go back for four days on the phone to eight twenty one year old matt fled his family home where he came to blows with his stepfather he had to sleep rough before being granted emergency shelter in a bombing in hostel it's run by a charity that helps anyone down and out to find employment and get back on their

feet looking for work. on the don't know like job. trying to get it's time you'll second stay at the hostel in three years after growing up in the now to foster care he struggled to keep a roof over his head you got to do whatever it takes to find some lights they found money. help and support scariest thing like you know you still go for ice all over again there just isn't enough low cost housing available and with unemployment rising hospitals just like this one desperately need to expand the figures from the local authority of people presenting us homeless having creased on average by about four hundred percent. for the growing homeless community squatting in one of the city's twelve thousand empty homes used to be an option anymore just before the winter set in westminster upgraded sporting from a civil matter to

a criminal offense predictions that it would translate to more rough sleepers on the streets came true there are a lot of deprived areas in. people that don't have working. with it being such a one time an industrialized center working class families but those jobs just don't exist anymore so i suppose that the poverty is just sort of breaking the poverty and the reason the reason big mix of paper in the population is expanding the housing stock isn't going to reach the point where it's just spilling over and can't cope anymore and with more government budget cuts kicking enough to rape many more persons are predicted to slip through the net as the housing crisis escalates polyploid see. the syrian opposition is seeking more financial aid from its western backers with a coalition yet to form a provisional government this france warns that islamist extremists could fall into

power if the promise funds and political support from the west failed to materialize while the conflict nearly two years old r.t. met one of the leaders of the official opposition and asked him what he thinks is needed to bring peace to syria. we need this some new weapons against iran plays you know because bashar assad says. airplanes to damage villages and cities and the civilians we need to protect ourselves our children from killing every day we have more than sixteen thousand children were dead for at least twenty two months ago something unbelievable it's a what so to help syrian people in to help and syrian crisis you need weapons and money is that is that correct yeah sure sure and we need. support also

who can cooperate with the man killed more than sixty thousand people we are concerned but we are not afraid you know because of the majority of fight terror groups in syria is not extremist is not dearest only fighting for the freedom and dignity and what a loss of a group from iraq are these people fighting for freedom and democracy is why they're fighting for freedom and democracy but maybe we will face some problem with them anyway they are just a smaller part of their evolution. but these people are recognized even by french president as extremists and terrorists all over the word you can find extremists but they're not their real picture only a small part of it please recall denies that. so you are absolutely sure that you

will be able to control them these people you're very sure very sure about that. despite french concerns over the extremist threat in syria the opposition say they make up only a small number of the armed rebels and are easy to contain but author and historian gerald horne disagrees we are reassured by your guest that if the if the dissidents come to power they'll be able to handle elements for fraud but there will be an dissidents at the same play when they worked with nato in two thousand and eleven and toppling colonel gadhafi now they're seeking to do the same thing in syria which suggests that they have nothing learned even the most recent lessons of history now we see that in been ghazi which was the cradle of the revolt against gadhafi the north atlantic countries have as their nationals to sleep in ghazi because resumed impending terrorist attacks wants by those they just helped

into power so i think we should get with a grain of salt what your guest said in that interview they're putting civilians in harm's way by wanting attacks from crowded urban communities i was also struck by the fact that your guess that he would not be involved in any negotiation with the assad regime the way wars in is that she would go she ate with those who are shooting at you and that is how this war should in but if they refused to negotiate that tends to suggest that this conflict will continue indefinitely. well line for you right now recent developments in parts of africa suggest to some that the colonial past is never that far away this as the u.s. considers strengthening its position on the continental the new drone outpost in is there which is just next door to troubled mali. also in line for you birth control or border control israel pushes forward a new way of controlling immigration injecting foreign women of jewish descent and

a moving in moving suspects across international borders anti-war activists sara flounders says the cia is using secret prisons outside the country to skate human rights laws. the reason for their existence is it's part of the u.s. war on terror which is using systematic terror against thousands of innocent people the u.n. report said twenty seven thousand prisoners had been held by the us in secret prisons of course in afghanistan and iraq but countries throughout the middle east countries throughout europe and africa. on more than seventeen u.s. ships were secret prisons so this is really part of a vast scale of thousands of people being held without salute lee no rights whatsoever and being subject to horrendous torture originally the u.s. claim they could hold prisoners outside the u.s. because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions and to

international law and humanitarian law which in their twisted thinking they said existed only within the u.s. so the idea of holding prisoners around the world in secret detention was they were there for again according to this twisted logic and new to any international law human rights law or conventions that the u.s. had signed. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world in mali french roots have an thirteen taking control of the key northern cities facing almost zero resistance local media claim that islamised fire was torched a library destroying sal's of priceless manuscripts before fleeing this comes days after the military seized the rebel stronghold of go defensive has led to a number of civilian deaths reports are emerging of a french helicopter attack in qana that killed at least twelve villagers including children french president francois hollande says the intervention will continue for
