we're watching our g. live from moscow with me to say it's good to have your company. they different city of port has been brought to a standstill by a mass protests initiated by football fans several thousand activists blocked access to local railway to and parts and force factories to shut down as well as a wave of under arrest in general by death sentences giving to twenty one football fans they were found guilty of inciting last year's riot that left more than seventy people did true has the latest from cairo. the ultra hardcore football fans who call these acts that we didn't have said they will escalate in the next few days if their demands a not match the story about three thousand people come to the streets of poor. basically show anger against the president the authorities they reportedly surrounded the governor building they managed to actually get government employees

on science they stopped the harbor from working and even went to the telecom buildings this however was not just the ultras the hardcore football fans who were in both other sections go to there were students teachers who staged protests after the death of a young student over the past few weeks in clashes in court sorry and as i said government protests during dinner as well the so what we're seeing really is taking quite a step towards independence from the country expressing that this is stretching across different parts of the city what they're saying the reason that they're angry is on twenty six january there was this court verdict this or twenty one citizen sentenced to death after this deadly football massacre that happened last year in february and basically pushed i.e. to people are saying this is unfair in addition they're saying that the anger all of the security forces so the way that they reacted to protests by poor following this very contentious decision saw dozens die they said that this committee forces

attacked the people of poor saif with live ammunition so a lot of the anger here is also got to do with the reaction of the security forces off the protests following this very contentious verdict as i said they will escalate in the next few days people are predicting violence and they want to continue to break the curfew which is on the city. continue these activists to b.b. and possibly bringing the city to a standstill for the next week. and a few minutes of freedom of speech of verses enties the medicine. the fire to freeze. has nothing to do with the violation of freedom of expression it is an american concept and it cannot be applied in france in the way it is understood in the us a sense a ship debate ignites in france after a court rules twitter must hand over private data of users allegedly posting hate speech. a landslide victory predicted by

many like adore and president rafael correa has easily won reelection exit polls giving him a wide lead over his nearest challenger with around sixty percent of the vote the news all no doubt to be greeted with a sigh of relief from the world's top whistleblower julian a son who is currently under the country's diplomatic protection and london art is ill and i will injure reports from the ecuadorian capital of teater. it's been an easy victory for referer career. voters praise him for the massive social spending programs the rounds despite the global financial crisis but this isn't the only thing that makes korea stand out as a leader in the international arena here is taking a firm stance against the strong u.s. influence in south america pensions reached boiling poured in two thousand and eleven when he accused washington of meddling into the country's internal affairs and expelled its u.s. ambassador korea referred to wiki leaks cable as

interventions throughout the continent which explains why countries like venezuela ecuador bolivia even argentina brazil are the crowd who are having the governments are keeping very much aloof or of arm's length from the united states i would say that the opposition hardly stands a chance of winning especially since most of them to a greater or lesser degree are pro-u.s. it is however a proof of life that it will do or is a relatively small country so that it does not have that much leverage but in the case of for example mr jr son no doubt that will continue that will mean a continued support for him and his extended stay at the editorial embassy in the united kingdom. china leapfrogs or the u.s. to become the world's top a trader triggering soul searching in america the one holding back business week that's coming up in just ten minutes time. french and u.s. legislation is colliding over

of united states you're free could improve our schools over the next two directors i asked professor had. what's the main reason behind the poor results in math and us schools is it that the world's wealthiest nation doesn't spend enough on education he says money is not the reason this looks like it's largely an issue of the quality of the teachers in the classroom now there are so many issues about the curriculum and what's taught in the textbooks and so forth but what we've found is that the biggest influence on student achievement in our schools is the teacher in the classroom china now doubles down on science and technology at schools all the technological advancement there varies from region to region but the trend is there and it's strong judging by the initiatives put forward by president obama in his state of the union speech washington recognizes the urgency will reward schools to develop new partnerships with colleges and employers and create classes that focus
