more furious reaction as u.k. lawmakers look for parliament café workers offering higher salaries then to those who defend the country and keep the peace. good evening and watching r t with me lucy catherine of one on to our top story right now egypt has been plunged into a fresh outbreak of street violence as protesters vent their firy against president morsy clouds of tear gas have been fired by the police and golfing the demonstrators who had pelted the presidential palace with petrol bombs now amid the deepening crisis the authorities have now decided to ban the you tube video service in the country for an entire month saying that this is because of the anti islamic content on that site and the decision has sparked outrage among many egyptians
11:02 am
questioning the need to shut down the whole service true as the latest from cairo. at the moment there's been a lot of condemnation of the by protest movements who see you tube as a vital resource for disseminating information about human rights abuses by the security forces it's also an indication of an islam mind zation all egypt has been a number of quite controversial statements made by these hardline muslim clerics in the last few weeks including a religious edict calling opposition forces to be killed and a muslim cleric speaking to the egyptian. justifying insects mobile talks on egyptian protesters into. what we really think here in egypt is this will only fuel for the violence on the streets we've had a very restive country here in egypt in the last few weeks especially since the second anniversary of the journey one hundred five revolution when thousands gathered in the streets of egypt complaining that president i'd most see had not
11:03 am
made key changes in demands of the revolution yesterday we saw on friday we saw more protests as part of friday's day of security thousands of protesters gathered across the main rallying points in this in the country which devolved into clashes between protesters and security forces in the capital here by the presidential palace when groups talk to the building with molotov they're pushed back by take us and water cannons and so bloody of violence in the in the governor with deaths in couple shake as well as violent clashes and. we have more protests on the horizon with further expected violence we don't see this finishing anytime soon. will full on exactly where egypt stands right now i'm joined by egyptian journalist and blogger. how do you read into this decision to block you tube in egypt is this a justified measure in your view. not think it's justified in their own opinion because what the muslim brotherhood right now is trying to do is restore autocratic
11:04 am
rule and much like the mubarak method of governing and i think the way the political actor see it is that mubarak was not ruthless enough and did not climb down on freedoms enough to sustain his rule and this is what they're trying to remedy the you tube verdict comes in light of. you know many other decisions that clamp down on freedoms and it's no surprise that they will try to install the infrastructure necessary to clamp down on. various websites that they see as a threat to their rule one other thing we've seen as well is the. admins of facebook pages who are critical of the muslim brotherhood are being targeted and we've seen one one one death in clashes last week. an admin of a of a facebook page called called when are liars the muslim brotherhood are liars and we've we're seeing more of these kind of clampdowns either in the physical realm
11:05 am
and now they're moving on to doing it technically through you know through you tube and various other sites we can expect more of that well sir if we can expect more of that i mean the reason that the whole egyptian revolution happened in the first place is because people were frustrated with the situation with the government they wanted more freedoms more so-called democracy more of a chance to have their say in their own future so if these kinds of clampdowns are now happening again at a stronger higher rate do you think that egypt could be in for yet another over a revolution in fact. i think that the state of revolution in calling for these rights is already. in progress what we've seen is anger around the same demands actually that started this revolution we're we're going to see more waves of protests and we're going to see more violence because. if you look at the situation in egypt the regime did not die the symbols just changed we just have new
11:06 am
people following the same rules so we can that we can expect more and more unrest because people are still not god what they what they asked for two years ago or more on rest indeed of course i do want to bring up another element here we've heard some pretty striking rather shocking statements made recently by some egyptian clerics including calls to kill opposition leaders as well as justification at least by one cleric on assaults against female protesters where is all of this heading in your view quite disturbing. the fight the fight between the regime and the people exists about clamping down on freedoms and dissent. and it feels right now the islamists are getting frustrated because they thought that just by getting the vote in a ballot box they can do whatever they please but what they're realizing is that people still want a bit of justice so i think that it's going to be
11:07 am
a very long drawn out faceoff between proponents of the you know islamist regime and revolutionaries right won't long drawn face off and dean thank you so much weighing in there egypt and journalist and blogger khandahar thank you. well ongoing unrest is not confined to egypt as we report later this hour a deepening political thinkers and housecleaning clash in tunisia the country that gave birth to the arab spring be headed towards another revolution. also coming up a crackdown on the opposition in bahrain on the streets in the courts and in the media we report from the gulf kingdom where people have been demanding change for more than two years now. well in the u.s. a full scale manhunt is underway for a former police officer who is seeking revenge after being fired the search for christopher dorner suspected of killing three people continues in the mountains in
11:08 am
southern california he's a highly trained former los angeles police department officer with a military background is also believed to have around forty targets on the hit list according to a manifesto that he posted on the internet dorner is accused of killing his colleagues of corruption racism as well as the concealment of the use of excessive force now investigative journalist michael report who used to work for the l.a.p.d. says the department has many skeletons in its posit. i don't condone what's happened and i wanted violence and killing to end but more important i want him to be brought into law which is something i do not think that l.a.p.d. law enforcement or the u.s. government wants under any circumstances with regard to his specific allegations about his case and i'm currently reviewing legal documents that are becoming available on mark i have to tell you that with regard to his allegations about rigorous trial board hearings. very egregious unprofessional cover
11:09 am
up excessive force but also management. these things perjury and a lot of other serious things i believe him on a percent the l.a.p.d. has been shown has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and cronyism within the department that has victimized i think and probably driven out a great many good officers i left for similar reasons we can head over to our tea dot com and join the debate on christopher dorner you can also follow the latest events and find out why the former police officer allegedly turned into a killer. well

11:16 am
of all has become quite a figure here in russia he emerged as a prominent protest leader just over a year ago in russia when the anti-government rallies really began to take off in unprecedented numbers so he quickly became one of the main faces but he's been in politics for much longer decades really he's now officially the head of the left front not many people really know what that is and the red flags you see at many of these protests and a lot of the no. embers that were coming out especially before the presidential elections last year word these left front flags a young radical communist organization but it goes even further back than that in the late one nine hundred ninety s. actually ran for a seat as an m.p. for a party called the stalinists block for the u.s.s.r. now during the recent protests he has been detained on multiple occasions for violating police orders and calling on other demonstrators to do the same let's take a listen to some of his calls. give up or let's remind those thieves and scoundrels
11:17 am
in the kremlin who's really in power here we have the authorities. you know some of the charges against him really do vary in june for instance he was charged guilty with attacking a young woman at one of these protests several months ago another claim coming this time from television a russian t.v. station aired a documentary which featured a hidden camera and footage allegedly showing will be solved in an effort to raise foreign funding and organize riots in moscow and other regions now investigators have since been looking into those allegations and have put charges against those solved he's also been charged with inciting violence during the most anti-government protest in russia that was may sixth last year just ahead of putin's inauguration i was at those protests and it should be said they were really the only protests to get that violent now although opposition activists have initially used as one of the main faces like i said of this movement he does often
11:18 am
fail especially recently to see eye to eye with other activists and out a few role not so long ago fellow activists actually got into scuffles with him and this happened because a fellow protester it will open fellow protester because they were upset that he was using a few role as a p.r. platform to kind of move himself forward now with both being arrested without detention has become somewhat of a thing he's been taken into jail without being held for very long twelve times in the last twelve months will now see about all works out with him being under house arrest all right certainly an interesting story thanks for keeping us up to date on all the twists and turns on the a somali reporting there. all right plenty more reports and also for you on the case of sergei adults over our website r t v dot com also there for you the ku klux klan is trying to make a comeback in america's south as the city of memphis braces for the longest ever

planning on a secret vote on the budget plan and what seems a revolt against the leaders economists james medway says of the budget may yet be sunk by the parliament. constitutionally the well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this no whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print of the budget already reserved to you paula to said he would be able to support the steel and the heads of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that there are likely to be supported so it's going to be rocky reuter think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend on spending more money no that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the may need for and will increase as a result of increased payments to
11:21 am
a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around this glosses over the fact of course that he wouldn't have got anywhere in this without the support of the merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line the you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this well david cameron cameron may be claiming victory in brussels but don't mess to clean one issue just refuses to go away it's the investigation into the rate fixing at banks in britain and it is expanding with revelations over just how widespread the practice really was revelations that have left r t is max keiser exacerbate it and that's why the t word for that just just for variety i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would imagine if i thought that our drone sent up this frank frank jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded
