sense of the beginning of the spring. since isis they said we didn't have to continue this process foresight. to force us to. say no to this and so for us three instead they're pushing for a national salvation government for the car company so i. feel very safe you know you place your office out loud to the rest systems that have been fighting see if you were out we continue this is a classic case of the government for existence and security continued for he was getting always first was just sick ass kissing. and i always feel good by from the point of the. protesters coming off the front i was three so i

proceed with this right here protest this coming days they said. kerry forces. from the jury and the then state as well this week i did. the right thing and he's also this is very great and when the security forces find a person like this and see. how the egyptian 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 saeed sadat political sociologist at the american university in cairo says there is little immediate prospect of the situation stabilizing the experience of their logging was a president what what was called national dialogue has been a failure and so they don't want to give the president. any piece of photo opportunity that they are 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 the decided not to join also they feel that the president and the government the current government is in trouble and so they don't want to give it a new lease of life or any support so that the government becomes strong 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 unstable for some time before all parties the allies of the cost of keeping this conflict is going to be too damaging for everybody once you all realize nobody is going to be winnowed if this conflict continues then you will have democracy but as long as everybody some people believe that we will be winning if we keep but personally and decision the government and the government believes that if they keep persia the opposition there would be winning 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 the air cause of two tional right to bear arms are just going to shoot down their 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 men 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 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 than what it could do to their fourth amendment rights have you heard about five. but no 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 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 trial made legal is seen by many lawyers as a blatant violation of the fifth amendment which guarantees due process that was so . thing 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 sicker 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 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.

also have for you this hour here in our team the syrian opposition seeks more a. once promised political support from their western backers but france warning extremists could and will trade power if help isn't forthcoming. try it over terrorism numerous issues are to be examined during pretrial hearings and when time of day. including cia secret prisons that's coming up after sore break.

me it is easy meat to. eat. victims multiply here each day. it's very profitable to invest in colombia with that every profit out of it is a very high return on investment. you'll know me i said but i've been

working in this area for thirty years and i've always had to pay the armed groups that i made my meeting that it did not a manager is a change their name and strategy but to still the same murderous. high ranking suspects give no comment are you upset about that mr president go soon. to president putin. both the. i won't give an interview i'm sorry but no. investigation is a dead. end he says sick and stop your bullshit and keep quiet or else you'll suffer the consequences. even if they're your bodyguards to watch themselves because the same goes for them. blood rivers from synch i've never heard of such

a case as ours where so much money and gold has stolen so many. for all the gold in colombia on our t.v. . welcome back you are with r.t. live from moscow as the british government continues with public sector spending cuts in a battle with financial woes it appears the reality of austerity is starting to bite the number of homeless people in the u.k. is dramatically increasing passing fifty thousand across the country boy go met some of those forced to sleep rough. it's freezing cold wet

and hungry there's nowhere for you to go. and no money in your pocket this street is all you've got and there's no one that will help you welcome to. the case capital homelessness. remembered right. in there she should draw breath i don't know what. i mean we shouldn't be home or there's a lot of people who called me a short time don't need me real car park where people live. all over the place this is what i got. there yeah yeah you do out 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 could be walking past you could be sleeping next to a wall drug for having. coldness is stupid specially this time we have to go 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 birmingham 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 dole no job running from the moment trying to get. second stay at the hostel in three years after growing up in an out of foster care he struggled to keep a roof over his head you going to do every takes to find somewhere to snape found money. help and support the 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 a lot of people that don't have working and i suppose 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 breeding for the poverty and the reese the reason big mix of paper in the population is expanding

the housing stock is and you know it reached that 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. r t m or the syrian opposition is seeking more financial aid from its western backers where the coalition is yet to form a provisional government this is france warns that islamist extremists could fall into power if promised funds and political support from the west failed to materialize with a conflict nearly two years old r.t. met one of the leaders of the opposition and asked him what he thinks is needed to bring peace to syria. we need this some new weapons against plays you know because bashar assad's. 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 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 majority 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 small part of their evolution is shooting. 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. so the opposition remain adamant extremists make up only a small fraction of the armed rebels and will be easy to control but 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 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 asked their nationals to sleep in ghazi because resumed impending terrorist attacks watched by those they just helped into power so i think we should try it 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 negotiations 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 end but if they refused to negotiate that tends to suggest that this conflict will continue indefinitely. an

of people being held without salute lee no rights whatsoever and being subject to horrendous torture originally the us claimed they could hold prisoners outside the us 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 us 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. twenty people have been reportedly killed in a plane crash in castle stan the plane carrying five crew and fifteen passengers went down near the city of el martine this country south after one pm local time reports say there are no survivors the challenger two hundred operated by a cause

indigenous sovereignty and opposed environmental law changes the protests come as canadian please return to work after their winter break were disciplined staged a mass flash mob dance in the streets of toronto the protest movement originating among the uber regional people of canada has supporters around the globe and gather for events from australia to sweden and across the u.s. . now if you enjoy russia's military you just need to get behind a wheel to take a closer look at it army grade technology comes with a meters of those driving and russia's highways and earlier and my colleague at least now we spoke to our team's dumbarton about exactly what one could encounter during a not so easily drive. 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 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 will see just mind their own business driving along and suddenly a tank comes across the road someone hasn't worked out 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 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 of the investigators looking into it said people like seeing helicopters swooping about to know that there are forces is there so i suppose the argument as well and that as far as the tank goes the tank fractures 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 tank factory saying people should watch out their tanks about. india they should well up next the spotlights on the job crisis with al going after talking to they have the national labor relations. 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 nine hundred eighty 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.

oh yeah well just all the ok i guess the show is going right.
