egypt is set for more protests from the opposition who threaten to storm the presidential honest in a fresh show of anger against the country's leader mohamed morsi. earlier in the week similar scenes of chaos and violence could be seen on the streets of tunis here but this us nation of a prominent opposition figure ignited further outbursts of public under arrest people blaming is mr government on the train the values of the arab spring uprising . protests and cackles welcome the cia hopeful john brennan

that's a confirmation hearing amid fears of whether the architect of the targeted assassination program could take america's spy. and russia counts down to the twenty fourteen winter olympics the games promised to be the most unique and the most expensive in history with a huge overspend already costing the organizer his job. you're watching artie's we can use ricky with me carrie johnston welcome to the program. well egypt saw position groups are gearing up for more mass rallies against president mercy with some threatening to storm the presidential palace the protesters are demanding that mercy up holds the goals of the revolution that ousted hosni mubarak two years ago what seemed creasing becoming

a similar scenario meanwhile in the gyptian court has ordered the government to block the video sharing web site you tube in the country for a month citing anti islam content was artie's bill true reports the decision is only likely to inflame tensions as the unrest continues. there's been a lot of condemnation of the by protest movement 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 is ation of 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. justifying sex mob attacks on egyptian protesters in tahrir square you have 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 their president had mostly had

not made key changes in demands of the revolution friday we saw more protests part of friday's day of dignity thousands of protesters gathered across the main rallying points in this in the country which devolved into clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in the capital here by the presidential palace when groups talk to the building with molotov they were pushed back by take us and water cannons and so bloody of violence in the in the governor with unconfirmed 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 but journalist and blogger wireless says many people in the country feel their freedoms are being cut back by the person see and his own eyes. 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 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 where 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 people following the same rules. but egypt wasn't the only arab spring country plunged into turmoil this week and wave of violent protests have swept through tunisia for in the assassination of a second opposition leader dozens were injured and more than three hundred people detained during the round is which ended with anti-government demonstrators clashing with police on his roof an ocean has been following the dramatic

developments in the tunisian capital forty eight year old lawyer shockley ability to criticize the islamist government for creating and really just state in tunisia and burying democracy now delight is dead but his ideas are not in the museum crees the country has been in crisis economic political and social the ruling troika how to chone says it's been a year in a huff but we didn't see any progress the death of all come right becomes the last straw. anger moved to the streets with protesters demanding the authorities and mabel to protect its citizens to leave the city with. some crime because billowy was a symbol of dignity and a symbol of the defense of the country this is a political assassination and that means the violence is not over. the interior ministry said that one million and they have joined the ceremony that turned into

a political manifestation people said that if the crowd reached the city center it would have been the last day of the government. as your attend the funeral of shockey belayed on friday after the seventy try to make their way to visit is made of and yet to continue and see government protests if they were not allowed to do that police used tear gas immediately that day such a siege is packed with people but slogans we're hearing are completely different. carrion islamist flags people masterly in support of the ruling and not a party the local branch of the muslim brotherhood police were at the scene to protest in demonstrators this time this reverse gathering didn't pull more than five thousand participants but the government used this to illustrate that their position was still strong looking at the big men didn't prove that people support

and believe our party needs all of our. revenue and they try to say face but don't have the choice they lost credibility and have no choice but to dissolve the government which is by de facto dissolved already. standing on the brink of a political crisis prime minister proposed to form a new cabinet consisting of neutral politicians his own party rejected the plan and cruz and anxiety over possible for the plate and here's a growing the political divisions may lead to even more victims because i was threaten to another guy from the opposition was attacked at the funerals i don't want to panic and x.y.z. that person but there is a list of people those who fight for the revolutions principles liberty democracy dignity we're all in danger to use a go tunisia became the first nation to have an arab spring revolution that has been hailed as a success story praised for the minimal violence and turmoil but as we watch the

country face a political implosion it may be only now that this plane that has been wound up tightly it's been sprung for three days clashes between police and protesters shook the country leaving many injured and cars burnt out across the city but it all finished as quickly as it started just hours later the capital looks empty and come and the loudest noise here at the moment is sound of birds twittering. nationality tunisia. well maria is still in tunisia and she's a keeping us up to date with the latest from there via her twitter feed and in her most recent posts are reports on the political crisis in the country saying the prime minister is still aiming to reshuffle the government despite the funds from his own party and he's promising to resign if the new cabinet is not approved. president obama's nominee to head the cia the architect of the controversial drone

assassination program faced his senate confirmation hearing this week but while lawmakers generally gave john brennan an easy ride some members of the public to not the session was interrupted several times by protest is against him i think driving force behind the so-called targeted killings aeration the rights activists kind of use of drones against suspected terrorists of american and foreign citizens is unlawful needs to a high number of civilian casualties of the chairman or the protesters to be removed or make us question brennan on torture and cia shortcomings seemed reluctant to challenge him on his answers scholar and author colin campbell says that given brennan's views his confirmation could set a troubling precedent. this is a complete our constitutional rights according to grant. and equal protection of the law and here within ministration is doing here is they're usurping the right denying it to the american citizens and saying that we can be

just jury and executioner we can go back to the role without them in their court we can say they are yours and we can go there and the dangerous is when you look at ministrations we can determine who are the jurors did that mean go in the room or in any americans without any drugs without any problem and that is a very dangerous precedent john brennan is now up for a closed door hearing to iron out sensitive technicalities of the debate is already brewing about what direction he could take the cia as artie's gonna chicken explains. in the shadows no more drones are moving into the mainstream was drone makers in the u.s. military pushing to defend the killing machine drones are more properly titled

remotely piloted vehicles allow us to do is to project capability without projecting vulnerability and their revolutionizing warfare by allowing us to see and kill 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 individuals since two thousand and one using remotely piloted aircraft contrary to popular belief actually provides the greatest degree of ethical oversight for their use this young man in pakistan 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 are 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 on targeted assassinations from the us justice department suggests the us government can kill people even without evidence that they are actively plotting against america to somebody a us 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 to spite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. has said to expand. it's remote control warfare setting up new drone bases across the world has redefined war during intervention in libya he made the case that the war powers act didn't apply 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 us 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 won't always be 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 strip down. but he was under pressure for planning a highly expensive attack against those who criticize the social media thanks this hour we take a look at why some say that could follow a main principles of european parliament. u.k. government looks to expand its own access to citizens internet activity and mobile phone use saying this stuff could be crucial for national security. after a short break. government no longer represents the. people we're going to take the term.

welcome back this week or so days of strikes in spain as tens of thousands of teachers and students watch their anger of education cuts the government seems on moved by the crowds and says it's committed to belt tightening measures as it struggles to dig the country out of its debt hole. well the message from the people of spain was a code on the streets of ardent where thousands unite in a massive show of anger against severe austerity measures tough cuts were implemented to these are inscrutable he's been relying on a joint u. international monetary fund loan since twenty ten. going to the crowds have been spoiling the mood of e.u. leaders as they celebrate an historic budget deal cutting the block spending for the first time ever it was sealed after hours of debates and bickering described by some as a bizarre over the deal that the european parliament unimpressed but it's only now running it to block it in

a secret vote economists james made away weighs in constitutionally they're well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this now whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print on the budget or already present when you parliament to said he would be able to support the steel and the head of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said there are likely to be able to support it so it's going to be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right 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 carry on spending more money now 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 main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to 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 would have got anywhere in this without the support of the mercury in particular so he can you can try to push that line that 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. what is one item that's apparently immune from cuts in a new reduced budget the e.u. is reportedly planning to spend more than three million dollars to wage a propaganda blitz on its critics in a social media euro skeptic m.e.p. nigel farage from the u.k. independence party explains how the troll patrols will work but they decided that they're going to train him how staff in the run up to the european elections are twenty fourteen those people to go online to look at facebook twitter other social media sites and to correct that's their word not mine to correct any misapprehensions that may exist about the european union and i have to say the fact

that it's a parliament that is doing this that is using taxpayers' money do this says a lot about the institutions that all one of our parliament says the person is it's him a chair of parliament he's the speaker in westminster he's the chairman of the parliaments around the world but he and all the rest of the staff are supposed to be you know they're not supposed to take any political position at all and the fact of the parliament decided it's going to spend money time and resources doing this shows you that frankly they're no better than a banana republic. where you can log onto r.t. dot com for a unique take on the global financial woes and those who cause them in the kinds of reports or programs are available online. a massive suicide explosion has rocked a checkpoint and tomorrow is northern city of some ten kilometers away from a french military base came shortly after another suicide bombing in the same place

to put forward its european allies to do as it were it's just like the securing of energy resources is one of the key factors behind many if not most political developments today and that's why i say that the of course the issue of hydrocarbons and uranium and other energy sources is a key and may even be the decisive factor. or some other world headlines in brief for you know the us well los angeles police department says it will reopen the investigation to this missile of a police officer but it was now on the run suspected of murder officials will look into the fugitives allegations of racism and corruption among his colleagues christopher dorner was fired in two thousand and nine after falsely accusing his training officer wanted for intentionally killing three people of the posting a manifesto online saying here's what he targets on his hit list. suspected militants have killed five soldiers and wounded while in

facilities built from scratch went hand in hand with harsh criticism for overspending and missed deadlines what is under former reports from sochi. by works lit up the sochi sky this week marking exactly a year to go before the winter games begin since two thousand and seven piece by piece the city has been putting italy the dream. i gather from the company in charge of construction says russia will be ready and. we plan to introduce all the facilities before the games start training facilities are ready practically all of them of host a test competitions all hotels and limpid villages are in the final phase of construction being referred to and furnished the show jewels to open in the autumn we plan to complete construction long before the end of the year said personnel can train a managers can gain experience in providing a good service however such a vast undertaking has not been without its problems presentation was in the region

this week to check on progress and was taking no prisoners the ski jumping center the only venue not yet up and running and it sparked this exchange with russian olympic officials are the costs of this whole facility costing us what's the overall. mission we were assessing the amount of the loan of the story what's a rough estimate. this initial price with one point two billion now it's a. 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 alan thicke committee fifty billion dollars the sochi games will be the most expensive in italy to history they have cost ten times more than the last winter games in vancouver and ten billion dollars more than the ferry she knew some against 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 study. the past arena was used for a spectacular skating show i was part of the came down celebrations and in a year's time it will. the in the ice hockey finals in the subtropical like the cycle of thought she twenty fourteen is hot cool because the park is done by the black sea i'm cold because all the alpine events or take place just forty kilometers away. progress is rapid that there was a poor resort has sprung up from nowhere to become the home of alpine skiing biathlon and cross-country courses have also been created along with the bobsled track and a road a rail league and i spectators to get from the mountains to the coast in just three

minutes sochi itself has undergone massive upheaval as kilometers of road am rail lines are put in place a new hotels are built but the man believes the region will reap the benefits for years to come. our residents are aware of the conditions they have to face during changes especially. we certainly have many inconveniences because there's not a single street in sochi without renovation going on the roads are regularly dug up which causes traffic jams all the time however the residents are aware that it's necessary for their future brilliant future she then has been overhauled in just six years but the transformation easel most complete and the black sea resort believes it can and will deliver the games to remember this time next year andrew farmer. softly. pick spirit and anticipation also reached new york this week where un chief ban ki moon joined the celebrations at the organizations

headquarters and just remind those action i was amongst you who want to see the sochi games in person tickets are already on sale in the variable on the right. well coming up we'll take an in-depth look at the occupy movement in the u.s. it's off the break here. saudi arabia has ordered its retailers to construct one point six meter tall

barriers in the middle of their stores a rather unusual demand is that something related to everyone's favorite buzzword terrorism no it is to keep male and female coworkers separate saudi arabia is pretty infamous in the west for its laws regarding the sexes and their segregation activists always want to go to other countries to convince them to adopt western attitudes that deep down in their hearts they secretly want but often they miss things like the fact that it was saudi women who ask for the segregation feeling uncomfortable while buying products from men according to a.f.p. you know some people in countries like saudi arabia or north korea might actually like living a radically different lifestyle and even if they don't like living that way well it is their job to fix it not by some sort of western intervention when i want to live in either of those countries not really do i want to live in a country with the saudi arabian concept of gender no not really but part of having freedom of choice means being able to choose things that i may think are backwards or illogical you know let them have the walls in the stores if they want western

civilization you know if it's truly the end all of human evolution then they'll take those walls down eventually on their own but that's just my opinion. my name is dennis i made this movie and there are a few things you should know about me right from the jump i'm not an expert on the economy climate change or foreign policy i'm also not an expert on sustainable farming systems the history of social movements or lego's the occupy movement has experts on all those things and more. i'm not really one of them i'm happily married husband the father of truth and past the children i live on a main street in a small new england town with actual white picket fences i made this movie for you me and everyone we know in the hope that we can create a world where human need comes before corporate greed so why does it feel almost un-american to say that the think about it this way just go with me.
