watching r t live from moscow with me marina joshing. thousands of anti-government protesters in egypt are ignoring president morsi is curfew by taking to the streets across the country some demonstrators imports eight attacked police stations while those and so as march towards government buildings position has meanwhile refused to answer talks with the president who earlier implemented a state of emergency in the areas most affected by the end rest the government also approved a law giving the military the power to arrest citizens young going violence has now claimed at least fifty two lives since it broke out on friday bill true who was in the epicenter of the action in the capital reports forty. nine yes exactly lisa was a great sight to. see the site. was. going to be cleaning up the street. right beside me didn't i would

continue to insist that foresight. to. die. so the president tells you this sense of hope for the rest of the street instead checkpointing for a national salvation government safety card company site. she said to the right if you go anyplace on your offices i think loud see the rest systems that have been fighting since they were out we continue to say that consciously i see government protesters and security people continually coordination and i state always nice to me i say just sick ass i was a single thing and i always feel good if i'm from the point of such a protest is coming off the front lines nice to think she said i personally when this kind of you protest this community

a sense of security forces struck from the city's drains three of the ten states as well as physically i distinctly i see if i see a police officer just breaking for a suspension that's when the security forces on the protest it's not like the situation and see. the egyptian government is struggling to find a peaceful resolution to them going crisis after its offer for talks was shunned by a major opposition parties dr saeed to death for a little 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 president the. photo opportunity to all sitting and nothing happens there were many experiences in which opposition would say it was 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 the feel that the president and the governor of the current government is in top end and so they don't want to give it a new lease of life support 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 on syrian for some time before all parties the allies 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 you will have democracy 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 in 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 manny pointing to their constitutional right to bear arms or he's got it she can report. 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 once every great 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 an unlawful search and seizure and basically does away with the probable cause require and then there's be 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 than what it could do to their fourth amendment rights have you heard about feisal no. no no i'm 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 did have opinions on gun control to keep our guns were

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 a 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 those 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 that is passed these bills i feel like all that has to happen is literally like dianne feinstein waves a letter and says national security and the 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 to zeerust 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. still have the syrian opposition seeks more

and there's no one that will help you welcome to bernie in the case capital homelessness. remember right. there she said drop grandma don't have what we have right now i mean you shouldn't be home routers a lot of people who called me a short time wondered me real carpark were people really. all over the place this is where i got. there yes. yes i 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 birmingham you don't think again people can see you can be walking past you can be sleeping next to warsaw.

and the coldness is stupid specialist told me we had to go back for four days on the phone to eight twenty one year old much 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 him 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 running from the moment 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 what every type find so let's think falling to money. help and support scariest thing like you know you still go face all over again there just isn't enough low cost housing available and with unemployment rising hostels just like this one desperately need to expand the figures from

the local authority of people presented as 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 birmingham there are people that don't have working given a suppose with it being such a one time many 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's expanding the housing stock ease and innovate reach the point where it's just spilling over

and can't cope anymore and with more government budget cuts kicking enough to rate prole many more persons are predicted to slip through the net as the housing crisis escalates probably boyko r t m well the syrian opposition is seeking more financial aid from its western backers with a coalition yet to form a provisional government this is france warns that as long as extremists could fall into power of promised funds and political support from the west failed to materialise with a conflict nearly two years old our team 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 then sixteen thousand children were dead for at least twenty two months

ago something unbelievable it's a lot right so to help syrian people and to help and syrian crisis you need weapons and money is that is that correct yeah sure sure and we need political 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 major t.v. of fight terror groups in syria is not extremist is not dearest only of 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 is here. 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 ear picture only a small part of it please record 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 historian child 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 are seeking to do the same thing in syria which suggests that they have not learned even the most recent

lessons of history now we see that in benghazi which was the cradle of the revolt against gadhafi the north atlantic countries have as their nationals to sleep in ghazi because presumed 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 there 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 their cue to go shake 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. and i'm for you right now recent developments in parts of africa suggest to some that the colonial

past is never sat far away this is the u.s. considers strengthening its position on the continent with a new drone outpost in his area which is just next door to troubled mali. also online birth control or border control israel pushes forward a new way of controlling immigration injecting foreign women of jewish descent with contraceptive drugs quite out of the details that are. five the fans are facing trial over the nine eleven attacks and war crimes tribunal at guantanamo bay u.s. naval base the pretrial hearings which kicked off on monday are intended to resolve dozens of legal issues among those on trial is khalid shaikh mohammed the alleged mastermind of the attacks that killed nearly three thousand people. four others are accused of training and aiding the hijackers but fans have been in u.s. custody for a decade now in two thousand and six president george w.

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 knew to any international law human rights law or conventions that the u.s. had signed now is to look at some other stories from around the world a suicide bomber has targeted the presidential palace in the somalian capital mogadishu one person has been confirmed killed although there are reports saying up to five more may also be dad the it's. gird native his explosives outside the main gate of the home of the country's president after being stopped by guards some

russia's military you just need to get behind a wheel to take a closer look at it army great technology comes with a meters of those driving on russia's highways and earlier my colleague and so now we spoke to our home barton about exactly what one could encounter during a not so leisurely drive. you can't say 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 my own 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 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 make that argument as well and that as far as the tank goes the tank fracture himself said this is totally normal the tanks have to drive across there is 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 tank factory saying people should watch out their tanks about. when just a few minutes join our team for a gold rush to the most remote and almost inaccessible parts of the colombian

jungle. 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 were thugs come out of 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 and on the so i think security just wanted to silence him in general not silence his 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 and everything will be just fine but that's just my opinion. for the past ten years colombia has welcomed foreign capital with open arms in his turn the new president juan manuel santos places mining at the center of his development model in bogota be independent expert coolio fiero denounces an incestuous relationship between the multinationals and the colombian political class. no i thought about it it isn't just an impression it's a reality that there exists a very strong link between these companies and the political elite and they serve the interests of the big multinationals that marked in red on the map of the

country the land requested for mining concessions of vast area the multinationals bag the major part of the mining rights about seventy percent of the andes is tenure and all covered by requests from mining concessions well you know if they when we see that it's easy to imagine that we're all going to find ourselves expropriated where are we going to grow the economy and people's food yet what's going to happen to our regions if that's so that it's a completely irrational gamble that. the mining permits are already allocated but the big companies aren't yet mining d.m.d.'s gold. the largest reserves lie in the heart of the corridor. mountains where the revolutionary armed forces of colombia the fark operate at war with the colombian government for over fifty years no one can penetrate this region without their authorisation with the.
