stories people in russia's year olds 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 the damage hundreds of buildings including some schools. so you. believe well. i. should not. have some images of obvious panic veron you can see why is nasa claims the meteors explosion generated a power of five hundred killed tons which is around twenty times the size of the hiroshima nuclear bomb twelve hundred people were injured many of them children after the shock waves hit buildings and shattered windows r.t. as you can piece can offer parts now from the affected region the consequences of friday's meteor are still quite a handful it's not only about shattered glass

a lot 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 were around one hundred kilometers just or sixty miles away from where the media or fell for more what happened here on friday here's this report it wasn't a bird or a plane or superman but something much louder brighter faster and maybe times of war terrifying because big bright like he was shining across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun it was around nine am when the skies were suddenly lit up by media or flying over breaking into three parts and leaving a striking dream of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. i immediately called one of my teammates who lives in my building and i you know i couldn't get

through to him my phone and work so i was a little bit scared at the point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city. i was told that a plane crashed right into our building then we were told that a wall has been partly disloyal interest and metal structures inside of a band by the blast wave it was very scary. but. many were able to film the unearthly phenomenon later 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 end of the world in our t.v. documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events that 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. we thought a military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was

a relief to find very sad because a natural phenomena anywhere except over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly from 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 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 due to the os what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully no one was killed this time and welcome leave the media or didn't hit any industrial facilities including several nuclear sites located in the region. that was our tease you got a piece can also reporting sticking with this story lawrence maxwell kraus from the school of earth and space exploration claims that if parts of the meteor were recovered they would be of huge scientific interest. meter as in asteroids are many 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 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 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 web site r t dot com to find out more about this unexpected interloper from outer space there we've got a special section devoted to the event including 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 event responded with water cannons and tear gas liberal groups are accusing the president of trying to monopolize power and to stifle dissent that's a. is around five thousand is the lists a staged a rally in support of president morsi and his policies the hardliners accused the opposition of undermining the democratic process by resorting to violent recent wave of unrest has claimed the lives of seventy people in recent weeks but despite this display of loyalty to the regime some experts believe it's days are numbered because what you had in egypt in the last two years as 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 and the people the people smell that they sense that they feel that and that's what's driving so either the brotherhood steps now he's fully and respects the will the majority or we're going to have a very bloody ugly mess in egypt. on to libya now where unlike egypt to 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 unrest and 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 political analyst a doctor you brahimi louche explains what the greatest threat is to the future of post khadafi of libya. to 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 around lawlessness in the country there is an outgrowth of fundamentalism of the chrome on the inside 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 defense secretary senators will vote on the 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 the 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 and damaging hail standing with his fellow republicans your. report also says

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 the coast in the in the last presidential election in the united states the israeli prime minister. supported it. move the peace process for the war and treated president of the united states and in the meeting way. and so a bombing there on his 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 we can do i think so our tweets are kind of low on the priority but i'd still point that they should stop doing. lorie harford us to ask the people in the streets of new york how they feel about u.s. government plans to store every tweet ever posted. talk of a currency war dominated the g. twenty meeting in moscow but can financial chiefs come to a consensus when the world's largest economy refuses to stop printing money. for the. technology innovation. developments around russia we. covered. a story.

and realized. the big. news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. today. and welcome back here with r.t. glad to have you with us german activists have kick started

a new game against big brother across the country people are teaming up to destroy as many surveillance cameras as possible the players that claim that their message is serious and that they are protecting their privacy. explores whether their actions are reasonable or just another form of vandalism. 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 sensitivity civilians in general is on the rise and it's not as bad as in other countries for example of 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 berlin is 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 we support the message. 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. 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 here 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 view 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 now let's take a look at some other news making headlines around the globe this hour in bahrain there have been clashes after the funeral of a teenager who was allegedly shot by the authorities during a rally hundreds threw stones at security forces who then responded with tear gas it is fear of this new outburst of violence could hold talks proposed by the government and the instability a two year along uprising in bahrain has already seen dozens of protesters killed and hundreds detained for voicing their discontent. thousands of protesters have rallied in the capitals of portugal and spain in lisbon around five thousand took to the streets in union demonstrations against fresh austerity measures while in madrid people rallied to protest of the evictions of those who are unable to pay their mortgages in recent months both countries have seen a wave of marches as the services are scaled back because of budget cuts.

in athens smog has returned to the city as austerity hit residents have turned to burning wood to heat their homes many could no longer afford gas prices after taxes went up by four hundred fifty percent and despite all the harsh government cuts economists predict that two thousand and thirteen will see the greek economy hit new record lows. police in pakistan. say at least sixty five people have been killed and up to two hundred injured in a bombing in the southwest of the country the remote control device went off in a area of the city of many women and children were among the victims of a rash of similar salts against shia communities have been carried out by hardline sunni groups in recent months earlier we spoke with robert naiman policy director at just a foreign policy who does not see an end to such sectarian attacks. this

result of. a particular group of militants sunni extremists or. their ideology. particular group. we're. coming under scrutiny in. the us i won't complain about that won't publish information. now street cameras and other kinds of surveillance across the u.s. give its citizens the feeling of having less and less privacy but it seems that you've done in the past won't be forgotten as the library of congress is now creating a database of all tweets ever post it was hard for us to talk 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 its story in 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 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 and i think it's kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop yes it's just another way that they can surveil us right now. yes 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 took it for about three years now and i kind of member watch would back them if they couldn't 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 strike your face book and they track everything you do a lot i mean they have the rights and they stand alone as the invention was private 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 that you don't want to be out there that you shouldn't do with where you should just keep your private stuff to you simply wants more than all over the place whether or not you think the government storing our tweets 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.

and coming up robert foster in his unparalleled musical manner targets u.s. gun policy in juice news. united states is based on. you know i care rest that you'll never have just sold stow away leg from the new system but welcome to the show today i'm proud to say we've just had a studio upgrade like i'm on the system is devoted to the hudson debate which has

been totally devoted to united states the same word for it pick mass shootings from the received to sandy hook school while someone killed them and to stop the bloodshed of this sort to perfect kill me is there a concept of the steam past we can still exploit kits from opposing factions the military soon see is a representative of the black spot is you know why this ended beyond just. abundance the illegalities fire retardants see some anonymous i agree but like guns what you love you kidding the second amendment is a sacred gunderson's are people people are just sick suggested john trying to mask only happen when people don't have access to semiautomatic weapons and we were given this trash right to bear arms not for hunting bears but to protect just you don't farm from the americans who would defend the land from the colonists no property from our own freaking government the winter when it comes to pay to try to take power they take the people like hitler or stalin still come on our chests legs

and shut the door shut in fact is that a brit accent in the seventy six lumps of plants you want to cause trouble comes let's hear from general but it's the first time we've had you both in the studio together frankly i'm shocked by what this loss of valuable american lives is a tragedy eleven doesn't come or see you can't be truly we need to stop this insanity you suggested starting the citizenry leave the criminal smugglers in the military machine is the key to winning the war on drugs and work like our war on drugs. from my cold and far. place my oldest son respects the second amendment but. events like the overseer can't. win ten shooting shooters same shooting goal cause you've been taking your meds the feds will go what you want you david koresh to sleep that is it in connecticut was a deliberate orchestrated spike set up with the weapons at least some batteries.

they can find. someplace and are waiting to take the united states and they get a creative teacher ship in this case the only one standing in the way of it if the slaves want guns are supremacy doesn't depend on weaponry would still meet your money in minutes we controlled every aspect of their lives. why the logical examination if you think you've gotten stuck in what you're waiting for already strip you of your liberty pretty simple might seem to you once aboard. the global a. small.

well i guess that sums it up and brings us some point to the end of our report on guns in the divided six of america certainly it's not up place to pass judgment but listen with a question and a last comment if your passion for the second amendment were missed by down the budget and independent a bonus media and a free internet were prevalent today would always be held today if it's in the new big number it's the journey begins someone follows the first and best line of defense like being seventy along with guns with the truth stay safe everyone.
