egyptian journalist and blogger why you ask and says a nothing's changed since the revolution which overthrew the autocratic rule of president mubarak two years ago what the muslim brotherhood right now is trying to do is restore autocratic rule and much like the mubarak method of governing and i think that 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 role 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 on the various websites that they see as a threat to their rule one other thing we've seen as well is admins on facebook pages who are critical of the muslim brotherhood are being targeted and we've we're seeing more of these kind of clampdowns either in the physical realm 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. another country that still looking for stability following the arab spring is a tunisia it's a witness the public through this week following the assassination of a key opposition figure on wednesday crowds of protesters fought the streets of the capital tunis pinning the blame for. the murder on the slime as government art is maria for national is they with more forty eight year old lawyer shockley ability to criticize the islamist government for creating and really just state in tunisia and burying democracy now the light is dead but his ideas are not to museum crees the country has been in crisis economic political and social the ruling troika how to chone says it's been a year and a half but we didn't see any progress the death of all come right becomes the last

nominated in the first place. to someone who was deemed unacceptable four years free vs speaks most of his involvement in torture and rendition is now acceptable. because he engages in a program of murder and the goodness of the murder outweighs the bad list of the torture a recent poll found that while only twenty four percent of americans support killing americans it's drones eighty three percent support killing nine americans with drones there is a clear bias you can do the math and see what percentage of americans are bigots were i dragged before us court charged with mass murder i could not say your honor i have a memo was drafted explaining why this is ok i had a president should not be able to do that either but that seems to be where the debate is going. at those c.r.a. melways john brennan in order to iron out sensitive technicalities but already speculation is rife if the what direction he might take the cia but on the issue of

his reports his confirmation could only broaden the horizon for america's on men feet. in the shadows know more drones are moving into the mainstream with drone makers than the us military pushing to defend the killing of drones or more properly titled remotely piloted vehicles allow us to do is to project capability without projecting vulnerability in their revolutionizing north america by allowing us to see and keep you from half a world away a major drone manufacturer lockheed martin has financed an hour long documentary on drones aired recently on u.s. public television counting the technological capabilities of the killing machine from trailers like this pilots of the predator and its larger cousin the reaper have killed thousands of individual since two thousand and one using remotely piloted aircraft contrary to popular belief actually provides the greatest degree

of ethical oversight for their use of this young man in pakistan he would probably disagree several of his family members died at the remote hands of a drone. more than a thousand other civilians were reportedly killed by u.s. drone strikes in pakistan and yemen we find ourselves murdering people in many cases children with no evidence whatsoever that they're involved in any criminal or terrorist activity the numbers should not come as a surprise considering the broad definition the obama administration gives us to who should be on their kill list the leaked memo uncredited the sas nations on the us justice department suggest the us government can kill people even without evidence that they are actively plotting against america if you extend the logic or studio logic being proud by the white house now where you come. lift you might say that we're in danger of going over we're getting very close to zero thought

crimes that if somebody a u.s. citizen or otherwise is believed to be thinking something that could lead to actions against the united states then this illogical logic would present the idea that it would be ok for the president to order that that person be killed the spite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. is said to expand its remote control warfare setting up new drone bases across the world drama has redefined war during intervention in libya he made the case that the war powers act in a private because there was no risk to american soldiers and so under that rationale he can expand the global war while in his state of the union address claiming that we don't need perpetual war for peace but it is perpetual war when you can drop bombs on any country and then claim that it's not working john brennan often referred to as the architect of the administration's drone war counts the new opportunities for the u.s.

to wage wars without risking american lives there's another reason a targeted strikes can be a wise choice to strategic consequences that inevitably come with the use of force . as we have seen deploying large armies abroad is our best offense all in all the u.s. now has around ten thousand drones in its fleet not all of them carry weapons of course a lot of them are for surveillance both domestic and international there's a great push both from the administration and the drone makers to present them as america's next best thing john brennan if confirmed will soon be at the helm of the cia and no one doubts that under him the program will expand even further in washington i'm going to go. well drawings are and the only thing about the cia causing controversy at the moment still ahead for you this hour thousands of americans awful to take lie detector tests to keep their jobs often having to answer very intimate questions. and abuse and neglect of the

and there is the situation that is course national governments are having to impose austerity across europe not just in the eurozone but also in britain because of course there's just not the money available but of course there is also another issue to do with the budget and that's to that's to do with the fact that for eighteen years now the european court of order to haven't been able to sign off awfully the accounts because a lot of the spending is goes on wasteful projects but of course more alarmingly it's also subject to a great deal of force and corruption and that's why literally eighteen years the accounts haven't been fully signed off. well the deal in visions or sweeping cuts to a number of e.u. projects including integration and infrastructure but millions of euros are importantly still allocated for so-called p.r. blitz against the blocs critics on social media websites euro skeptic nigel farage

frankly they're no better than a banana republic. predicted years of belt tightening and soviets gerrity cuz i the irish tens of thousands of angry citizens contests in cities all across the country against the cards with some excess saying all government efforts to rein in the classes are in vain that's coming up.

fake people's internet and mobile phone use it's in the name of national security but they are serious concerns that it's a step too far executive director of the open rights group jim kill out says if the bills were introduced the government could get its hands on any information and once snoop has chances a bill that would allow the government to collect data about everybody online and into data mining that data so it's not just about the guilty it is not just about records being kept it's not just about serious people serious criminals who need to be tracked is a right the potential of anybody in law enforcement to get hold of any information about anybody just about anything that you do would be detectable through the information trails you need we need the home office of publish detailed proposals so that we can see whether they're in any way workable what the damage would be and

have a proper serious debate about those proposals. so are people right to think of these proposed laws as a serious invasion of privacy. it's completely absurd to think there should be this new form of communications that should somehow be exempt from these sorts of measures go online to r.t. dot com to get both sides of the story and to vote on what you think the consequences are the slate going to be. a giant clock ticking all over rochelle fishing the starting the countdown until the beginning of all sorts the winter olympics the black sea resort through a spellbinding celebration marking one mia until the games get underway. looks at the construction already completed and how much work is still ahead.

and usually we've been assessing the amount of. the story what's a rough estimate. and you got this initial pressure one point two billion. one point two billion has turned into a billion yes well done good work let's move on. it resulted in the sacking of a key member of russia's limp dick committee at fifty billion dollars to sochi games will be the most expensive in the olympic history they have cost ten times more than the last winter games in vancouver and ten million dollars more than the summer games however the results can already be seen and they are impressive if you do take a quick look around you can see what money can buy at the center of the olympic park which is six venues all within a stone's throw of each other to host the curling the skating and the ice hockey and this is the june in the crown the bolshoi i stay.
