the presidential palace there this for the first time in more than a week of turmoil petrol bombs were thrown over the gates with thousands demanding the president steps down police there responded with tear gas and water cannons one person killed at least fifty injured reporter bell true was there to witness the mayhem. i personally witnessed a lot of police brutality there's been a criticism of the police in the ministry of interior i'm off the footage was broadcast all the proof of a protester. beaten and trying to cross the tarmac i saw this with my own eyes it could just but i this balcony the man who didn't appear to show any resistance or any threats towards the police caught his trousers by his ankles was dragged face down and then a hit with truncheons before being taken off in a vehicle and later i also saw police go down an employee of a restaurant just off the front line the man was trying to get he said before the

police officer with bird shot to shot him he fell to the ground a mistake taken by an ambulance this comes off protest is three moneths office on the promise yesterday after which the security forces have reclines with the excessive use of tear gas many people are condemning the police this morning saying this is another example all police because if you're just making security pulls his hands of one of the key demands the resolution something the president must address there are still people on the hurry square and protest plans in the future opposition forces are not backing down there has been calls from both sides for dialogue the president's second so awesome dialogue with the opposition forces ahmed el baradei one of the leader of another salvation front said he would engage in dialogue on the condition that they would be the day the government would speak to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not this in c.v.s. said preconditions we do see this you see this kind of company any time in the

future so we expect the violence in the streets the protests across the country in the coming weeks. reporter bill through the reporting there from cairo and in the meantime activists and journalists who can't chandran says that developments in egypt show that ultimately no one is manning the helm there anymore. egypt has been totally destabilized and remember the egyptian government is waiting for what the egyptians call the loan from sunday look there's a protest there's a popular protest song about the world bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying well egypt's not going to get but lord if this is the destabilisation it's visiting the country but the thing is what who can control things in egypt now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting for nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone

control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that nor can control anything in egypt our current me. you can always check artie's twitter feed for the latest on what continues to happen in cairo or build true whose report we saw just a bit earlier is also posting her own updates and still to come on the program here on r.t. alleged atrocities by the army in mali raise eyebrows at the u.n. a shadow on what some see as the french leaders crusade visit to the north african state. plus the nation of terrorism while waging wars on terror russia's top diplomat the hints that the inconsistency of the west's approach could be behind the deadlock in syria's ongoing standoff.

and for now america's forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil and a clear violation of washington's own fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon has admitted it can't vouch for the source of years worth of fuel due to a very complicated supply system guy nature can fix up the story. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially specter general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it most probably did for the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to even coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect

they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but

the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so for many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail and anything else i was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the u.s. calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only when hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more . reporting. violations and rhetoric surrounding iran proving a great a creative fuel for our website called. the themes are all of. the exclusive.

it's good to have you with us here and. rolf has highlighted what he sees as double standards when it comes to the hour revolution. crisis in particular addressing a major international security forum in munich he said if the world community had stuck to its initial agreements the civil war in syria would not have spiraled into such a state of details on this now it's wants he's peter all of. the underlying theme of so you get

a lot of rope speech was if you cheat unity with foreign partners furthering discussion however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister one of those questions that he said russia wanted to put to the western partners was how could the west justify their quest for regime change in certain countries while turning a blind eye to acts of terror now this is just one of many times he either alluded to or mentioned by name the conflict in syria talking about acts of terror committed by the opposition troops opposition forces within syria there against the the army against civilians now he also went on to ask the question of who decides which state is a candidate for regime change it seems that some are wary some aren't looking at the ongoing situation in syria where it's been deemed that bashar al assad must step aside by foreign powers not once again reiterated today by the united states

vice president joe biden in his address here in munich where is some states aren't considered candidates thinking more here about the gulf monarchies where we've also seen protests in public uprising there of foreign minister lavrov spoke direct to those western powers when he talked about furthering international discussion saying that if well they kept their promises to speak to all sides in the syrian conflict the night conflict could well be over by now. and the foreign minister sergei lavrov has also met with the leader of syria's key opposition group for the first time after were set up in november last year for bringing to trial so as soon as we get them here on out. for now reports of extra judicial killings by the my libyan army have escalated all the way to the un blocks and he genocide envoy says he's deeply concerned claims by activists that. the army which is largely backed by french troops is committing ethnic reprisal attacks and other atrocities and this

comes as francois hollande is on a visit to the north african country are his forces are fighting islamic radicals and while there the french president announced that the mission won't be long and will wrap up in a few weeks strasburg journalist robert harness he believes that our land is simply trying to score cheap political points but the truth. he may regard this as a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian front you know too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with syria bitter civil war i think this may well be the last

chance on house to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation. now britain is removing the welcome sign from its doors as the government fears the flow of migrants into the country might skyrocket the authorities think that promoting the u.k. as a great destination may have gone just a bit too far artie's polly boy has the story. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania and from ball garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so

a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law

so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. well as britain is highlighting all the downsides of living there romania has launched its own p.r. campaign of beautiful women that would like kate middleton and very cheap booze old appearing on the list of the top advantages of living and quite a collection of all the posters the dots he told. us to look up for you this hour here with hatred and racism in the israel football league takes a look at the jerusalem team making its extreme right stream really angry. plus the u.s. expresses off rage over the terror a bombing of the american embassy in turkey but critics say it's washington's

practice of poking its nose into other country's affairs which ultimately provoked the attack more on that and other stories softer a short. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you. are welcome is a big picture. is he.

thanks so much for joining us here in our. live in moscow. a leftist a group of opposing u.s. foreign a strategy and its influence on turkish politics has claimed responsibility for the attack on the american embassy in turkey capital ankara a security guard was killed when

a suicide bomber detonated his explosives right on the mission's doorstep this was on friday lawrence freeman from the executive intelligence review magazine explains why turkey has become a target for radicals. it's obvious right now that there's a whole escalation in the tire region going from my own north africa into little east and president. obama administration. in these areas has obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british and the fragile also supporting tens of thousands of jihadi treatments in syria and in other parts of the region so you have well armed well compared trained terrorists on the border region with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so

i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving foolish to out actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his own security. we'll get to the odds he will drop a shortly here in the program for now though a jerusalem football team whose fans are renowned for chanting racist and see arab slogans as just signed to muslims on for the first time as a foreigners are openly disappointed at the move which some say is like a welcoming in the enemy. reports on the boiling anger that's never far from spilling over. the games in there but the actions out here these really football team they told us of them is making headlines not for what it does on the pitch but what it does oafish the only leading team in the country never to have signed an arab player because of family pressure h.r.

is a bastion of israel's political right if i am one other thing i am the don't love the enemy will be a player in my team or you could see. the. chance like this we hate all arabs only the target of the race is croquet no it doesn't happen often but tonight's matches between d'etat jerusalem and a local israeli arab team the police are not taking any chances which is why these gates are for the jewish fans and the other side of the stadium is for the palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking up behind me but it will be another hour and a half before the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year hundreds of baitullah fans rampaged through jerusalem off to a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking arab workers orders are

born they try to say that there are just a few resources five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. we fetched turkey is a football legend in israel he was the first arab to play for the israel national team and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i'm an arab muslim if this is not racism what is it that problem is about to get a whole lot bigger team owner a russian israeli tycoon a coyote guide to mecca recently announced his decision to hire two muslim payers from chechnya and. it's not good they're doing it for nothing these players from chechnya aren't with the jewish people they're not with the team we have different values. while other countries have faced international sanctions for racist incitement by fans israel has so far voided such close scrutiny but fears are

growing that the beautiful game there is slowly being turned into a source of violence racism and hatred policy r.t. jerusalem. into the r.t. world of there we go now starting with pakistan where an assault on an army outpost in the northern part of the country has now left thirty five dead including twelve attackers the pakistan taliban was quick to claim responsibility ten civilians all from the same family and thirteen soldiers were among those killed a spokesman for the armed group said it was in retaliation for a drone strike on two taliban commanders last month and another blast yesterday just about sixty kilometers to the north left twenty six dead. the spanish prime minister has been forced to deny that he received more than two hundred fifty thousand euros worth of secret payments over a ten year period speaking in front of his conservative party not in order hoyer said he will post his tax declarations online to prove the allegations are false

the scandal erupted last thursday when a national spanish newspaper published records allegedly showing prominent members of the ruling party taking hidden donations. a quarter of a million twitter users have had their accounts hacked at the company's information security director admitted user names e-mails and other data had been stolen along with logan passwords twitter said professionals were behind the attack and pointed to similar ones between this and the one that was a previous attack of the new york times which the newspaper blamed on chinese based operators. well it was the bloodiest battle in human history and a turning point in world war two seventy years ago the soviet union snatched victory in stalin grad defeating the nazi death machine. followed the commemoration . the parade in modern day volgograd is to mark the end of that terrible

battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from various delegations and the assembled crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million the top russian missile say there's also a little bit of control we see surrounding the name stalin graph the city is now called volgograd. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative event it will forever have the connection the word stalingrad not with this place but with what happened to him. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad. here a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of fiji qualis

promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in a bid to stop him capitulating. when paul is realized that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live. for nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders the ravitch so much of the country this basement of stalin grant's largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the largest army the world had ever seen. the vermont six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first

a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fyodor fought for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city took the quest and a town grid it was how the ball there was a re were firing and when we went to get water from it it was water and blood mixed . in the vendor soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from the supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. she was bogus but you know i'm still in harbor far people it was very important because finally we stopped retreating offices the general started to learn how to win a stanley grant as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies are

still being discovered today but although the red army and the soviet people didn't know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom barton r.t. and on our website r.t. dot com we've got a whole section dedicated to the second world war i there you can find stories of the people who witnessed the horrific events of the starland ground battle as well as learn more about those who actually led the red army to victory. parts of my colleague bill daughters here in half an hour's time before him it's i mean martin and bring in a sense just a moment. 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 sunny 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 everything will be just fine but that's just my opinion.

to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so many i mean the town finally says i'm seeing the same thing really messed up. in the very soul especially. if. the worst you're going to fly down superman the radio guy in fort lauderdale minestrone profit what a bunch close to did you never seen anything like that i'm told. greens earthlings i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so today is secretary of state hillary clinton's last day on the show.
