on the u.s. political elite endorse a new secretary's full stays on defense with neither expected to change much in america's foreign policy. the latest news and the week's top stories this is their weekly here on s.r.c. hello and welcome. turmoil in egypt has entered a second week with the opposition stepping up calls for president mohamed morsi to resign and made his way well beyond in process so one person killed and more than fifty injured in clashes near the presidential palace and true so brutal crackdowns by police on demonstrators and reports now from cairo i personally witnessed a lot of police brutality there's been a criticism of the police in the ministry of interior off the footage was broadcast

of a protester. beaten i'm driving to cross the tarmac i saw this with my own eyes it could just but i this balcony the man who did not picture any resistance or any threat towards the police his trousers by his ankles was tracked down and then a hit with truncheons being taken off in a vehicle and later i also saw a police down an employee of a restaurant just off the front line the man was trying to get he said before the police officer but shocked shocked him he fell to the ground a mistake taken by an ambulance this comes all protesters three more talks on the polish yesterday after which the security forces of replying with the excessive use of tear gas many people are coming condemning the police this morning saying this is another example of police brutality just to make insecurity people just want to keep them on the revolution something that president morsi must address there are

still people on to her square and protest plans in the future opposition forces on not backing down the 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 leaders of an observation front said he would engage in dialogue on the condition that there would be that the government would be to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will move this into the set preconditions we do see this say you see this kind of company any time in the. so we expect the violence in the street protests across the country in the coming weeks. they've driven prime minister has meanwhile had his car pelted with stones and bottles in cairo's tahrir square according to local media morsi one of decisive measures in dealing with the rest with the military enjoying expanded powers during a month long state of emergency the president made a brief trip to germany but cancelled his paris visit due to the unrest and

journalists and political activists while asking that most european travels only serve to increase tension in his own country is going to the europe trip to secure funds perhaps for for egypt but what will you do with these funds when he's very hesitant and you know he cannot even run his country how it works he left at a time when the police were exercising extreme brutality with a lot of people killed in the ports. so where is him imposing the emergency law which he. promised he would never would. so so it's actually has been present and i think he's just trying to secure international relationships so that he can oppress the people you know back in his country. the french banks intervention in mali has been marred by alleged human rights abuses with activists

accusing the joint forces of killing civilians torture and prices by local army and with the media attention focused on the visit of president francois hollande information about the reported atrocities this hot tub and that he's got an exclusive report from one of the ravaged areas. well you my little focus is not on the day he goes today molly's attention is gripped by the visit of president francois hollande to team group two where the french military's victory over islamist terrorists was celebrated so triumphantly in this mop the area we've discovered allegations of war crimes information about them is under the control of mali's military government. i think it's getting more and more that he called to talk to people a lot of. human rights activists who are trying to identify witnesses off saying that people climbing up and feeling the heat they are scared to speak a lot of people here. very few fool the malian army seems to be doing whatever

it can to prevent people from speaking to openly and of as they put it this government took advantage of the media's interest in all and for the first time visited the city's worst affected by hostilities today in the town of qana we were surprised by the arrival of mamadou cd bed the minister for humanitarian action and solidarity this was an attempt to bring the bomb a call government closer to the people who regard the capital as remote from them with this visit and this event staged by politicians coincided with the publication of reports by international organizations such as amnesty international and human rights watch alleging atrocities crimes and violence on both sides for instance in qana several civilians were reportedly killed in french air force shelling we tried to interview the injured however were unable to obtain evidence in a community that has until now been strictly regulated by the military authorities

he said. and the ministry says an investigation is underway so far no evidence has been provided so let the judicial system do its job and this all of these government its people and military are well aware of current events and we know that we cannot play this game. the government has been attempting to assort political power despite very poor infrastructure today we spoke to an army private on his way back from them he told us he hadn't been paid or eaten properly for fifteen days and everest war continues there will be a need for justice after a comprehensive internal investigation rather than heartfelt celebrations and demonstrations of power the mali the french president during his visit to mali said terrorism has been repelled but not wiped out as campaign it raises more questions about human rights violations and former deputy speak out their belgian parliament a load of the newest says criminal investigation into allegations that too much to

ask for. what i hear now is how this surprises me i mean that first of all the mali an army does hold a grudge against the people who are stemmed from the northern part of the country and secondly the soldiers of very low paid and have very little armaments and such as a they're not really a regular army in that sense there's only. hardly a state apparatus functioning how can you really just have people and examine what they do you can't you just ground in a country like that so the only thing you can do correctly is if you think people might be terrorist is hold them and arrest them and detain them what you certainly will do is say this is kind of actually judicial executions but eternally surprises me that this is going on right now this country needs support yes this country needs are we why is it that this help only comes in the form of military invasions that's a basic question usually we should ask ourselves. wednesday news of israel's as try

can see were broke the arab league slammed israel for its alleged air strikes describing it as flagrant aggression and a violation of serious sovereignty moscow sad that that found it will be an abuse of the u.n. charter serious as his radio address destroyed a military research center near damascus killing at least two western diplomats and syrian rebels claim the time it was announced convoy near lebanon's border destined for hezbollah militants south iran and greater rated it will continue to support sea ray in the face of aggression they says russia's foreign minister met the needs of the opposition syrian national coalition on the sidelines of a new nick security conference both parties agreed there's a mountain to climb before negotiations between rebels and the government can happen to all of a half the details for us this is the biggest security conference really in the world and arguably syria is one of the biggest security issues in the world right now. down for

a meeting with moyes. who's the leader of the syrian national coalition the foreign minister of russia coming away seemingly quite happy for the this meeting he said upon his arrival back in moscow that well the syrian national coalition seemed willing to speak with the current syrian government citing the fact that the whole reason that the national coalition exists in the first place is because they had previously refused to talk to president assad however. did err on the side of caution saying that there was no guarantees that this dialogue would take place bringing up the point that the coalition is so fragmented they can hardly really agree with themselves never mind sit down to openly go see a sions with the current syrian government syria featured very highly in the address that was given by surrogate lover of to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as. and called for unity and trying to

bring in an end to the violence and bring discussion to the forefront rather than talk of international intervention he did however raise a few questions towards russia's western partners suggesting that was it worth while pursuing their mantra of regime change in countries like syria at the expense of terrorist acts being cast a blind eye to as those acts take place against the civilian population and the the syrian army and we also saw around two thousand people gather elsewhere in munich in protest against what they say is they just continuing growth across europe that was relatively peaceful but it was also a topic that had been touched on by saying that of in his address where he said that there was no real need for nato to expand in the way that it was in those two thousand people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. and let's now get norm that is from marcus papadopoulos editor of politics of fast magazine and he's

joining us live from london marcus very nice to see is so good these talks between lover old and a senior opposition leader this sign of a breakthrough that the syrian opposition could soon be willing to negotiate i would issue a cap yet that page treaties are not concluded overnight they take a long time a lot of compromises required all the parties involved and also small circle havior is absolutely critical outside players so yes it's a it's a positive a potentially positive development in what happened just a the meeting between the leader of the self-proclaimed syrian national coalition and the foreign ministers of russia and iran and i think it's an acknowledgment by the leader of the syrian national coalition that the syrian government it's not going to be defeated on the military battlefield and that's something unfortunately

that western politicians and western journalists have been saying that it is going to happen i.e. that the syrian government is going to be defeated on the battlefield and it is acknowledgement that thousands of syrian civilians have died unnecessarily and because outside players in the region turkey saudi arabia qatar i think followed in weapons and cash so the militants in syria and after two years it's still blatantly evident that the syrian army. has the upper hand on the developments on the battlefield in syria so i would say potentially it's a good development pace can only ever be achieved. by understanding what we are at a very early stage so we do need we still do need to be cautious of the syrian opposition meanwhile has said that it's ready for talks but only if president assad has no role in the transitional government do you think assad will. that well i want outcome of that question from

a number of angles firstly president assad is the legitimate president of syria full stop secondly. i think circuit a lot of the russian foreign minister said last year how surprised he was by the way he did say or the form of a syrian opposition in coolly perceptual president assad to go from power to resign to step down except that's not the way diplomacy works that's not the way the peace process put together so you know it's a trick question it's not a realistic expectation that president assad should step down he's made it very clear he will step down. he's the legitimate president of syria that's something that unfortunately in the west it's completely discovered it you know in line with international law in line with the u.n. and the syrian government is the only legitimate force of the syrian army is the only digital omphalism syrian territory so i think it's very unrealistic for the

syrian. therefore a syrian opposition to expect president assad to step down but i suspect that if talks to develop its way in the city four way stops ition in the syrian government then they're going to start to relinquish these goes because they're going to realize that they are one realistic russia's foreign minister said the tragic situation in syria could have been averted if all states shred the goal of ending violence do you agree. i absolutely agree with that unfortunately what we seen in particular over the last year is a certain place in the region where he named them turkey saudi arabia and qatar dana has made situations very very worse in syria what they have done is because in the last year the syrian militants they have made some successes now . it'd be along the turkish border and along the border with iraq and what these

places are down the saudi arabia qatar and turkey is a sense they sent terrorists into syria they sent armed they've sent weapons into syria and they've given the militants cash they have so what really needs to happen at some point the the actions of a street countries do need to be analyzed by the international community and the governments of these three countries need to be held to account because hillary clinton about a year ago accused russian government of having blood on its hands unfortunately it's more the country saudi arabia it's on saudi arabia we have the blood of thousands upon thousands of syrian civilians on their hands because of their own geo strategic ambitions i.e. to see that removal of presence is sad and the syrian government's. papadopoulos at us magazine talking to us from london marcus thank you very much indeed for sharing it with. so you're watching also the line from moscow i'm coming your way in just

a few minutes. we don't realize how much of a police state the united states has become. for a cia officer who became a whistleblower when america's story on does not waiting to so turned a half years in prison. labor ministry headquarters turns into a battleground us hundreds of protesters a brawl with police over pension cuts or reports shortly after this break. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are on the day.

wealthy british style. time to right let's go. around the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser report.

this is coming to life for most co welcome by the u.s. but it's called establishment is continuing to endorse new chiefs senator john kerry was sworn in as u.s. secretary of state this week while defense chief nominee chuck hagel was grilled by the senate hagel says military force was the last resort of you which has attracted a buzz admiration and criticism on among american politicians and some experts believe washington is far from finished with its foreign and military campaigns no matter who's in charge at the pentagon and president obama was elected in two thousand a we you know the same kind of hope to me as it was there with shutting down gitmo and ending these wars and fighting the right kind of wars but then we find out when you know after the deal is done after the elections are over the nomination process is over we continue with our war footing around the world no matter what the politicians come before those cameras and tell you what the key factors are that we need to take care of it be a social safety nets or the economy or or jobs being created in this country the

united states will always have money for two things you can be rest assured bakers and bullets we already see the headlines coming out of the mainstream media talking about the sequester and how this is going to get our military we will have nonstop propaganda being a bombarded out of the people. reducing the budget of the military so i'm absolutely confident that every secretary of defense will have a very very loose pocketbook to spend to keep spending us into oblivion the first one convicted of america's prison torture program was waiting to start to turn to have a good jail sentence but decorated cia veteran john kiriakou didn't interrogate anyone his crime was to tell the wallet about washington's that secret grogram and one of his final entities before being locked away he told us exactly what things he's being punished for. first of all my case was not about leaking my case was

about torture when i blew the whistle on torture in december of two thousand and seven the justice to department here in the united states began investigating me and never stopped investigating me until they were able to patch together. charge and force me into taking a plea agreement and i'll add another thing to when i took the plea in october of last year the judge said that she thought the plea was was fair and appropriate but once the courtroom was packed full of reporters last friday she decided that it was not long enough and if she had had the ability to she would have given me ten years in this post nine eleven atmosphere that we find ourselves in we have been losing our civil liberties incrementally over the last decade to the point where we don't even realize how much of a police state the united states has become you know ten years ago the thought of the national security agency spying on american citizens and intercepting their

emails would have been anathema to americans and now it's just part of normal business. the idea that that our government would be using drone aircraft to assassinate american citizens who have never seen the inside of a courtroom who have never been charged with a crime have not had due process which is their constitutional right would have been unthinkable and it's something now that happens every every so often every few weeks every few months and there is no public outrage i think this is a very dangerous development. and on our c dot com for you right now iran demonstrators are growing itself for a long rolling out of line for homemade fighter jets which officials say are designed for defense purposes only and can evade radar so take a closer glimpse on our website. also online israeli soldiers use tear gas and stun grenades against a group of palestinians who erected at tent camp in protest at
