thank you all russia. strike that left over a thousand people injured. you know widespread damage. rival rallies in egypt anti-government protesters once again clashed with police. in support of the president. all the while accusing the opposition of inciting violence. by his fellow republican senators and u.s. defense secretary nominee chuck hagel will be given a try but only after a week long. news live from moscow this is on t.v.

with me will receive. people in russia's year olds all recovering from the shock of the meteor all that crashed in the area on friday the space rock exploded in the sky creating a powerful shockwave and damaging hundreds of buildings including schools. now twelve hundred people have been injured as a result of the devastating explosion many of them children. reports from the epicenter. thankfully the night passed quietly and without any incidents in chile i've insistence there were fears that more meteors were going to hit the area nothing of the kind happened but the consequences of friday's meteor are still quite

a handful of us not only about shattered go up lots of old buildings were damaged as well like this factory there behind me where parts of the wall and roof just collapsed which is remarkable since we're around one hundred kilometers which is or sixty miles away from where the media or fell on friday the explosion was so powerful nasa says it was equal to around twenty new cars to dropped on hiroshima thankfully these explosions caused by the media were not accompanied by lethal radioactivity for more what happened here on friday here's this report it wasn't a bird of the plane or superman but something much louder and brighter faster many times aboard terrifying for speed bright like him shiny across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun it was around nine am when the skies were suddenly lit up by a media were flying over it yet it is breaking into three parts beating a striking trail of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the

surrounding areas were a little earlier rocked by a series of massive explosions. and i immediately called one of my teammates who lives in my building and i you know i couldn't get through to him by phone in work so i was a little bit scared at the point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city of dallas bottom line you know i was told that a plane crashed right into our building then we were told that a wall has been partly dislodged and metal structures inside of a band by the blast wave it was a very scary. but. many were able to film the unearthly phenomenon of a leader flooding the web with footage as rumors spread of what it might have been a stricken airplane a satellite that fell out of orbit even the beginning of the end of the world in our t.v. documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events in it but you put up that they saw

a huge tail in the sky like from an airplane and then there was a bright fire and an explosion but the feeling was like there are. thoughts of military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find out it was a natural phenomena anybody except over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly for pieces of shattered glass not one of the girls ran out to take pictures yes. and she was thrown in by the wave that came after this the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room get got filled with dust just like like a fog it's estimated the media as we need to varied from ten to forty tons and its speed of around twenty miles per second it gave it a huge amount of energy and made it very difficult to detect you know that there are telescopes and networks operated by nasa in the u.s.

and what's cosmos in russia and the european space agency others that are out there trying to detect the track asteroids but honestly there's a lot of there's hundreds of thousands and their biggest focus is on the really large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter or kilometers in diameter that could potentially you know due to the os what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully no one was killed this time and luckily to me to be just the facilities including several nuclear sites located in the region. and a lawrence maxwell kraus from the school of earth and space exploration he says that this was an event of huge scientific interest. meijer is an asteroids all commenting of them come from the outer part of our solar system perturbations from the planet jupiter and other planets there's a huge. store of of comets asteroids out outside the orbits of jupiter and outside in fact the outer solar system some of them periodically get

disturbed by the gravity of the inner planets and get sent in word some of them are big balls of ice and become comets others are big balls of rock and the impact on mars and the earth and the moon and what's fascinating is actually you could if you can collect some of this material some of it is primordial if we actually detect it and we can we can get it right after it falls we can actually measure material that hasn't been processed since a solar system formed four to have billion years ago so for scientists it's a fascinating event and i'm happy that people weren't killed by it but if some of that material can be recovered it will be incredibly interesting and important for scientists. and over at auntie dot com right now we've got a special section on being splitting space rock in the reeking log on to check out the exact timeline of the incident as well as more images and firsthand accounts i.

this is r.t. now egypt is once again being shaken by burning buildings and stone throwing protests as tear gas and water cannons unleashed in response as rallies against the president and ruling is the mists of routinely turned into clashes with police and they renewed on rest began on the second anniversary of the country's revolt and have been taking place every week since then this time however there was a massive rally me a rival rally organized by hard line islamists thousands gathered in cairo to show their support for president morsi and islamic law. demonstrators lashed out of the opposition blaming them for violence that has taken at least seventy lives in recent weeks despite this display of loyalty to the current leadership many experts believe its days are numbered but what you have had in egypt in the last two years is in effect

a coup by twelve percent it's the actual number of eligible voters who voted for the sharia constitution and that's the muslim brotherhood and the majority of the egyptians so they are dead set against any kind of shari'a constitution they want to have their democracy they want to be able to breathe openly and were should go out in their own way and not be told what to do now i think the interesting thing is what's happening in washington since the second obama term began i think what we're seeing is on the obama have it that this entire muslim brotherhood experiment of the arab spring has turned out to be a catastrophe and they're pivoting their energies towards china and downgrading their support of the groups like morsi so i think what's playing out now is the brotherhood is finished in egypt i don't see any way that there's going to be a reconciliation on the people the people smell that they sense that they feel that and that's what's driving so even the brotherhood steps down peacefully and

respects the will the majority or we're going to have a very bloody ugly mess in egypt. or to turn our attention to libya now where unlike egypt rallies marking the two year anniversary since the antique about the uprising broke out the last peaceful so far but fears of unrest and violence are still strong as there's a mixed mood in the country ahead of official celebrations in benghazi for example the birthplace of the revolt a bomb exploded outside a police station at a local media reported the attack was purely criminal unlike any political motive there is however a growing feeling of discontent over the power of militias the abundance of guns and a lack of government control political analyst dr evil he explains what trends in post get a free libya are threatening the country's future and what we have seen over the last two years in libya is that this integration of any form of central control paving the way for the fragmentation of the country into three states at the same

time there is rampant lawlessness in the country there is an outgrowth of fundamentalism of the chrome on and that has spilled over into mali as we have seen over the last couple of months a little bit. more than two months and at the same time we have this but. not strife breaking out between the front militias and the country so yes a lot has changed but not for the better it's a five ten pm here in the russian capital this is arts he chuck hagel will be given another shot at becoming the u.s. defense secretary after the senate returns from recess in less than ten days a stalling vote by hegel's fellow republicans saw him fall just short of landing the new job earlier this week artie's guy nature can has more. those who blocked the vote on chuck hagel nomination this thursday know very well that he will

eventually be confirmed as defense secretary there are enough votes in the senate to confirm him but the stalling of the vote together with the humiliating treatment that the senators gave chuck hagel two weeks ago at his confirmation hearing this whole process is seen as a message all by itself those lawmakers showed that they could crush anyone who would allow themselves to dissent from washington's core foreign policy beliefs chuck hagel remarks at the confirmation hearing disappointed even his supporters during the hearing which to me seemed like an imposition mr haygood had to backtrack on many of the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and some other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator so throughout that long going to exhausting hearing mr haygood kept apologizing for much of the previous statements he had taken from previous positions he had taken and he bent backwards to show how quote unquote mainstream his use are and the senators kept accusing him of not being again quote unquote

mainstream enough to get the job chuck hagel swore to defend basically all of washington's foreign policy orthodoxies his confirmation process has been humiliating in many ways than it demonstrated the state of u.s. foreign policy basically intolerant of an alternative vision alternative law and having said all that the president's decision to nominate chuck hagel of course knowing the position chuck hagel had taken before was also seen as a message president obama had said previously that there is too much of your talk going on and maybe by nominating chuck hagel he wanted to play down because too many people here in washington are too eager to talk war just during the confirmation hearing the word war was mentioned one hundred twenty times the word iran one hundred eight times by comparison of ghana's than the war that the u.s. is fighting right now just twenty six mentions of course those are just words but they may very well show how eager many many in washington are to discuss new wars

without even having finished the old ones. reporting that u.s. authorities are planning to file away every tweet ever send into a massive archive. they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do and i think. priority but. just a bit later in the program here on. people in new york on whether that kind of interest is a necessary safeguard or a sinister form of snooping. and attempts to study the shaky global economy are being made to the g twenty gathering of heads right here in moscow we report on the cracks within their ranks after a quick break. technology

or there's a big new game against big brother being played all across germany where activists are teaming up to destroy as many surveillance cameras as possible the players claim their message is serious about protecting their privacy threatening a major protest there in the works some day. whether their actions all valid or just another form of. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you whilst walking through the streets of the german capital there may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of society the civilians in germany is on the rise and snot as bad yet as in other countries for example in the u.k. there were millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's

worrying us. that increase has seen some villagers take quite drastic action and fight back against what they see as the invasion of their privacy the target for their fight the cameras themselves the phenomenon has even produced an online game cam over the rules are simple film yourself destroying c.c.t.v. cameras posted online and points are awarded for the amount of camera smashed as well as bonus points for creativity although many privacy campaign is uneasy this more militants approach we're not a particular big fan of while and even if it's while it's against things that's a form of protest we do not support of the ovi support the message. is contest will culminate in a protest ahead of the european police congress in berlin law enforcers fear the movement and its methods will only rise in popularity and public damage i don't

think it's it's a group that is committing these crimes i think these are some people from the left wing political corner they want others to compete with them to destroy cameras and what about allegations that the rise in c.c.t.v. coverage was turning berlin into an all well in state no i don't think so i think we have a strict law that the only personal belongings or the personal. the ground you own can be protected by a camera you're not allowed to point the camera at a public street and so i don't think there's. big brother watching everybody or germany does. some very strict laws when it comes to personal image rights even global giants like google of how to censor the faces of anyone snapped on this street service the advancements of things like smartphones the amount of pictures

taken and uploaded to the web every day is sure to make it even more difficult for those who prefer to keep their anonymity the authorities deny that big brother is watching you in berlin however as the amount of c.c.t.v. in the city goes up it becomes a. lot to get caught on camera peter all over r.t. berlin. and r.t. is coming to live from moscow over the web site right now though an image of two palestinian children killed by israeli soldiers scoops up the two thousand and twelve world press photo award it turns out there are even more shocking images doing the rounds on social networks and sparking mass outrage over details of r.t. dot com. also online for you a russian man raids a mental health center to rescue his girlfriend maybe she was unfairly section to the request of his mother find out who's in trouble now.

the finance chiefs of the world's biggest economies have united in chorus against a looming currency wars following high level talks right here in moscow for russia the gathering is seen as a launch pad for its hosting of the g. twenty summit later this year artie's caffein office the story. japan is actually at the center of this crisis because of its aggressive monetary and fiscal policies that have led to a weakening of the yen and basically in tough economic times one option that a country has is to artificially make the value of its currency worth a little bit less so for example making something like this twenty dollar bill worth less you can do that by a variety of means like printing money why would you want to do that because when you do you value your currency your manufactured goods your goods your exports become cheaper and that gives you a short term economic boost which is something that a lot of these countries europe the united states japan certainly desperately need

in these tough economic times there are many problems with this approach but of course the biggest one is that when you start to. play hey your stuff is cheaper i want to follow suit and do the same thing and that results in a tit for tat economic clash that we know as a currency war what we're hearing right now is finance ministers essentially saying the currency war thing it's probably not going to happen does that mean that that's the case we don't quite know perhaps japan and other countries have gotten the message behind closed doors but the other issue that a lot of experts have really brought up here is that there is no consensus in the g twenty on this issue because of internal divisions for example what you have is doing isn't really all that different from what the fed in the united states does which has been printing money furiously so there's really not a lot of incentive for countries to sort of get together and take a tough stance on this issue another battle that we've really seen emerge in these talks between the united states and europe over a steerage versus debt basically the europeans have been pushing for countries to

stick to agreements that were decided upon several years ago to cut down borrowing and debt they think that this sort of tough austerity measures medicine is the kind of thing that's going to help this economic crisis come to an end well countries like the united states and we in fact i've heard that the u.s. is blocking specifically this push they don't want to reduce their borrowing because they're heavily indebted and if they stop borrowing if they reduce their deficits that could theoretically hurt unemployment and other sort of domestic internal issues. and why some currency war tactics work for some not for those discussed well it's who's financial gurus most cars are and. you can watch with the full program just today but for now a very quick preview here. everybody is doing it venezuela devalued recently by over thirty percent in the u.k. the pound the pound sterling has fallen by over ten percent against international currencies and yet their export market is up barely point one percent so it hasn't

worked for them they showed up to a global currency war with their fear paper and it hasn't. on anything for them you know if you show up to a gunfight with a knife chances are you're going to have your guts ripped out shot dead in the street like a dog show up to a currency war with paper like murder. or these other central bank lands and you'll also be eviscerated gunned down in the street by the gold vigilantes and that's a good thing. and into the arty world up that we go now starting with turkey where clashes have broken out between police and kurdish protestors on the fourteenth anniversary of the arrest of the leader of the kurdistan workers party also known as the p.k. k. demonstrations took place in several provinces across the country security forces used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowds at the p.k. has longed for for kurdish autonomy demanding greater political and cultural rights

. britain's food standards agency says the number of people who have on wittingly even the horsemeat will never be known the agency says that just over one percent of products tested recently for horse d.n.a. in response to the crisis had shown positive results for the meat industry is under intense scrutiny across the european union after tests last month show the presence of horse and pig in beef products. north korean defector groups have rallied in a south korean border town to send propaganda messages attached to balloons into the communist north of the leaflets going to stop its nuclear program and this comes after a third nuclear test was carried out by north korea earlier this week he's activists warned such actions could raise tension between the neighboring states. now st cameras and other kinds of surveillance across the u.s.

give its citizens the feeling of having less and less prissy but it seems what you've done in the past also won't be forgotten as the library of congress is now creating a database of all tweets ever posted laurie hafen is twenty new york to find out whether the government is once again showing too much interest in people's private lives. the library of congress announced that it's storing our tweet is this just another method of surveillance or is it a way of archiving the times this week let's talk about that did you know that our government is starting to store all of our tweets they're archiving them in the library of congress not surprised you're not surprised by that now why not they're quite everything are you ok with that no absolutely not so what do we do about it

you know i don't know because they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do it i think so our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop there and yeah it's just another way that they can surveil us right yeah but i think how would you feel about your government storing all those tweets that scares me the so of because i mean like you could tweak things i mean i've had to for about three years now and i kind of member watch would back them if they can find out and just kind of see what it was that's quite scary have you ever tweeted something that you might not want stored for all time usually a tweet recipes and food related things so i'd love it if they store it. i mean those are a surprise to me and though they try to facebook and they track everything you do a lot i mean they have the rights when they stand long as the invention was five it is doing this for your protection do you believe that you trust them to use that not as a way to surveil you or invade your privacy you know i believe they're i mean what

more can they do i mean if you put stuff out do those you don't want to be out there that you shouldn't do with where you should just keep your private stuff so you should put it on twitter and all over the place whether or not you think the government storing our tweet is an invasion of privacy and the bottom line is you better think twice before you tweet because you never know who might be listening. just a moment a special report on the murky areas of european democracy. why .

some countries want oil but that's kid stuff who needs oil when you could secure the world's largest supply of trucker darrow so-to located exclusively in sweden and meeting sweden for absolutely no logical reason is a possible you say well supreme commander of the swedish armed forces general sphere guru and son must have watched red dawn too many times because he thinks the russians are a common general durance and declared that if invaded by russia sweden wouldn't be able to last a week against the onslaught therefore sweden must immediately join nato he said that currently it is not quite possible to invade sweden but due to the two thousand and eight war with georgia it is possible for russia to somehow push through established european borders bring their forces up to sweden gates putting the generals country in danger but guess what according to your own council of the european union georgia started the war so by that logic if the two thousand and one with georgia is the example of the future then don't kill russian peacekeeping troops and you'll have nothing to worry about.
