certainly glad to have you with us. people in russia's urals are recovering after the shock of the meteor strike that hit the area on friday the space rock exploded in the sky creating a powerful blast that damaged hundreds of buildings including some schools. nasa claims the meteors explosion generated power of five hundred tons which is around thirty times the size of hiroshima's nuclear bomb twelve hundred people were injured many of them children after the shockwave had buildings and shandor the windows r.t. as you could piece can off reports now from the affected region. thankfully the night passed quietly and without any incidents in shiite instance 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 it's not only about shattered glass 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 there are sixty miles away from where the media or fell on friday the explosion was so powerful nasa says it was equal to around one thousand new cars 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 a plane or superman but something much louder brighter faster and many times of war terrifying because big 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 or flying over breaking into three parts and leaving a striking trail of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. 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 that point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city of dallas the bottom i know i'm told that it 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 very scary. 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 orbits even the beginning of the and the world in our t.v.

documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events but you put up that we 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 three shattering thoughts a military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find value to peace and natural phenomena anywhere 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 waves that came after this the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room get down filled with dust just like like a fog it's estimated the media as we 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 and russia and the european space agency others that are out there trying to detect and 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 do to us what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully no one was killed this time and luckily the meteor didn't hit any industrial facilities including several nuclear sites did. lawrence maxwell krauss from the school of earth and space exploration claims that if parts of the meteor were recovered they would be of huge scientific interest. meteor is an asteroid on a comment that come from the outer part of our solar system perturbations from the

planet jupiter and other planets there's a huge. store 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 process since the solar system formed four and 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 you can log onto our website r t v dot com to find out more about this unexpected interloper from space there we've got a special section devoted to the event in cluing the exact timeline of the incident

as well as more images and first hand accounts. the latest round of opposition protests in egypt has ended in violence once again demonstrators attacked the presidential palace police then responded with water cannons and tear gas liberal groups are accusing the president of trying to monopolize power and stifle dissent that's as around five thousand islamists staged a rally in support of president morsi and his policies the hardliners accused of the opposition of undermining the democratic process by resorting to violence the recent spat of unrest has claimed the lives of seven. people in recent weeks despite this display of loyalty to the regime has some experts believe its days are

numbered. what you've 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 is turning out to be a catastrophe and they're pivoting their energies towards china and downgrading their support of 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 now he's fully in respects the real good majority or we're going to have a very bloody ugly egypt to libya now where unlike egypt rallies marking the two year anniversary of the anti kadafi uprising have been largely peaceful so far but the mood in the country ahead of official celebrations remains tense as many fear possible one ran stand violence in benghazi the birthplace of the revolt a bomb exploded outside a police station but local media reported the attack was purely criminal and lacked any political motive demonstrators in the city voiced their growing discontent over the unchecked power of militias the abundance of guns and what's seen as a weak government in tripoli the little analyst dr evil explains what is the greatest threat to the future of post gadhafi in libya. what we have seen over the last two years in libya is that this integration of

a new form of central control paving the way for the fragmentation of the country into three states at the same time there is around lawlessness in the country there is an outgrowth of fundamentalism of the criminal that has spilled over into mali as we have seen over the last couple of months and a little bit more than two months and at the same time we have this but sort of. strife breaking out between the front militias and the country so yes a lot has changed but not for the better republican senators have stalled of the confirmation process of chuck hagel the white house choice to be the next to defense secretary senators will vote on their candidacy again after they return from recess in less than ten days in an unprecedented move the republican minority delayed the confirmation earlier this week the first time it has ever happened to anyone nominated for a top cabinet position

a decorated vietnam veteran is known for preferring diplomatic talks to direct military action and his criticism of the israeli lobby in washington assistant secretary of the u.s. treasury under president reagan paul craig roberts told us how those views are now damaging hazels standing with his fellow republicans. she had. made a mistake some years ago when he said that he was an american son of an israeli senator and this instant come up look almost in the in the last presidential election in the united states the israeli prime minister. supported. the peace process for them and treated the president of the united states and in very demeaning way. and so the bombing now is answering back to the israeli prime minister by appointing a u.s. senator who did

a very very rare thing and asserted his independence. of the israeli government later in the program a sinister snooping or a necessary safeguard. 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 i guard tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop during the. war harshness asks new yorkers how they feel about u.s. government plans to store every tweet ever posted that's after a short break. well. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we. covered.

and then. welcome to the big picture. if you. live from our studios in moscow this is thomas glad to have you back with us german

activists have a kick started a new game against a big brother across the country people are teaming up to destroy as many surveillance cameras as possible the players claim their message is serious and that they're protecting their privacy are cheaper all over explores whether their actions are reasonable or just another form of vandalism. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you walking through the streets of the german capital that may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians in germany is on the rise and it's not as bad yet as in other countries for example in the u.k. very millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that increase has seen some berliners 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 cameras 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 violence against things that's a form of protest we do not support of 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 state no i don't think so i think we have a strict law that the only personal belongings or the personal. 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 and 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 increasingly difficult not to get caught on camera peter all over r.t. berlin. and remember you can always stay updated at by heading to our web site twenty four seventh's there for you right now despite facebook being one of the most successful websites in history it's not helping america pay down its debt. and it turns out despite reaping over a billion dollar profit in two thousand and twelve the social media giant paid zero in taxes find out on our t. dot com how that's possible. a bold. enterprising australian of billionaire clive palmer plans to build a replica of the titanic online we tell you how the man is going to make sure the new cruise liner will not share the destiny of its predecessor. now let's take a look at some other news making headlines around the globe for you this hour. in

a remote controlled bomb went off in a shia area of the city of quetta with numerous children among the victims a rash of similar assaults against the shia communities have been carried out by the hardline sunni groups in months. now street cameras and other kinds of surveillance across the usa give its citizens the feeling of having a less and less privacy but it seems you've done what you've done in the past also won't be forgotten as the library of congress is now creating a database database of all tweets ever posted one of her friends took to the streets of 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 there archiving them in the library of congress not surprised you're not surprised by that 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 i think so our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop you know it's just another way that they can surveil us right yeah that's what i think how would you feel about your government storing all those tweets that scares me the thought of that because i mean like you could tweak things i mean if i try it 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 this story. i mean there's a rude surprise tried to facebook and they tried everything and i mean they have the right so in that state. if they're just doing this for your protection do you believe that you trust them to use it not. as a way to surveil you or invade your privacy you know i believe they're mean when more can they do i mean if in the if you put stuff out there those you don't want to be out there that you shouldn't do with where you should just keep your private stuff to use influence with and all over the place whether or not you think the government storing our tweets is an invasion of privacy the bottom line is you better think twice before you tweet because you never know who might be listening. and coming up robert foster in his on that paralleled musical manner targets us gun
