life in the arctic new central date accusations that america is siding with egypt's islam its leaders opposition refusing to meet u.s. secretary of state john kerry who's in cairo. the mannings partial guilty plea isn't enough for u.s. prosecutors who intend to prove the wiki leaks whistleblower aided terrorist by leaking classified documents. why britain's brightest of bailing out for better lives elsewhere we examine what's making the pack up on the damage it cools the u.k. . all over again even sure if you just joined us it said kevin and here tonight at our top story egypt's opposition has lashed out at washington for meddling in the country's of its leaders refusing to meet secretary of state john kerry's arrived

in cairo they accuse america of siding with the ruling was lim brotherhood despite egypt sharp political divisions policy looks at what the u.s. chief diplomats intentions could be. he says that the purpose of his visit is essentially to discuss regional and international issues have a wide spectrum of egyptian leadership that is refusing to meet with him the criticism is coming from liberal and secular leaders and they accuse kerry and the united states of siding with the muslim brotherhood and they accuse its leader mohamed morsi of the same should be stepping into the same role as the ousted dictator hosni mubarak now it is true that the united states has maintained close ties with morsi but the criticism is that he is failing to implement reforms and at the same time he is turning the country into a more religiously conservative ruling system at least to opposition figures have refused invitations from kerry to sit down and hold talks with him and this follows

this week a call by the united states for the main opposition group and that is known as the national salvation front to reverse its decision to boycott parliamentary elections that are due to begin next month and yesterday kerry was in ankara telling the turks that they need to improve their relationship with israel the turkish prime minister recently made the comment that zionism was a crime against humanity and response to the kerry said that the comments were objects and of all this comment could indeed frustrate kerry's attempts to try and create an improvement in a strange israeli turkish relations that have hit an all time low what we essentially see through kerry's visit is an attempt by the united states to try and appease countries in the region israel to essentially ensure television security but the problem really is that the positions of both israel and the united states in this region are at an all time low they are under threat and in most small part due to the actions of washington and tel aviv themselves the situation in syria has

only made things worse you have the rise of islamic extremism across the region following the arab spring and this is something that the united states directly supported at the same time what we're really seeing is that washington is having to deal with problems that it created and this is essentially the call or at least part of the core of kerry's first visit to this region after taking office. secretary's visit to egypt is not expected to herald a major shift in washington's policy towards the country but with israel under increasing pressure from its neighbors it's thought the other running concern for america is protecting its key regional ally by any means we have not seen a major rewrite situation american policy in light years bring. the transition in egypt in particular it's really still the same polls and for those now the body it's used to protect american interests is really the army

rose and presidential powers it's the army that continues to greet you with american funds and it's through the clothes. that i think americans hold tuning in many of the same policies that the meeting under or so we could use that seem to be staging it suggests a continuation of the same american policy where israel comes first and israel's arab neighbors are really a tool. used only to try to preserve israel's security. the u.s. is pushing forward with a full court martial against the army will still block bradley manning prosecutors plan to call a full witness list now to prove that he's guilty of a range of serious charges including aiding the enemy manning denies this admitting only to providing secret data to wiki leaks with the aim of revealing what he called the true cost of war america's andrew blake was at the hearing. i'm p.f.c.

manning finished reading his thirty five page statement he turned his microphone off he was done testifying and a handful of members of the press gallery actually journalists began applauding it was something that people had waited for a long time there he was speaking very truthfully and with power about what he did and why he did it and i think that resonated with a lot of people a big small man only five foot two you know of one hundred some odd pounds sitting very calm very collectively very cool right in front of the judge and read it thirty five page statement pretty much owning up to every single fact that the government has accused him of for the last three years and it was people expected him to go ahead and plead guilty but the way in which he actually honored what he did himself in the way that he actually took still to this day is ok with with releasing information and is aware of the significance i think really shows this was someone who had committed to doing something and was aware aware of the

repercussions and is ok with that. in the courtroom they were found guilty of aiding the enemy private money could spend the rest of his life in prison he's already spread over a thousand days behind bars awaiting trial moneys defense team argues that his harsh detention conditions violated his constitutional rights and that the judge is therefore against him should be dropped as a result he's going to put been following the case. it sure has been a rough ride since bradley manning was arrested in may two thousand and ten for the first ten months of his incarceration the former army intelligence analyst was held in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day in a six foot cell windowless cell forced to sleep naked without bed sheets and kept on suicide watch during that time hundreds of scholars experts human rights advocates as well were signing petitions and letters to have him released from what was dubbed draconian conditions essentially called torture many critics would argue

that manning was essentially forced into pleading guilty on ten charges because of the conditions he has been held in by the u.s. government but at the end of the day when manning stood up and owned up to what he did and from what i've been told and read about his minos apologies for his behavior for his actions well one of the most shocking items lead bomani was the so-called collateral murder video showing a u.s. helicopter attack in two thousand and seven targeting civilians in baghdad eleven people were gunned murdered return fire to the victims indeed the reuters journalists we could see here the apache helicopter opening fire on a that arrived at the scene two children who were inside at the time was seriously injured now in court manning compared this to a child torturing with a magnifying glass where my five agent told us the revolution did a great job and a great service to the relatives of the victims. still his family is also

a victim by still mostly candidates and one type iraqi families pushed against them find out what was happening. and attempt to deny it see he is saying there was no here they can also do what has happened so by exposing this bradley manning's case closed ok case he says on the two piece on the price down is the speed of light his pipe and i think it's also interesting one other aspect to our is that he tried to slash and steal other mainstream media outlets begin with the washington post the new york times and the politico web site and he was business and in fact the research said that if this were if they would gain political thing like your goal is to netflix i pray that the old model does not respond to the push toward transparency to inform the american people what is done in the name it's amazing though isn't it that the the people who actually committed those war crimes in collateral murder video have never been arrested have never been charged and have been court martialed is the person who exposes war crimes who is court martialed

and this happens time and time again with whistle blows you shoot the messenger but you protect the people committing the crime. well with no one budging on the budget america's got some sharp cuts ahead we talk about real soon to. be precise president obama's. politics prevailed of the progress on capitol hill reporting about in a few minutes also. a stellar performance from the space station yeah stand by for details of a musical collaboration that is truly all this.

a rally in central moscow as calls for russian orphans to be better protected the large number of children in care plus cases of abuse and death abroad have brought the topic very much to the fore in russia. was at saturday's demonstrations at least twelve thousand people gathered in central moscow to march for the better protection of children many said they went to the streets at the call of their heart they chanted slogans orphans need mothers not graves russia definitely has some six hundred seventy thousand orphans and finding a home for them in russia has been difficult for many that's meant going abroad for a new family although the government now wants that to change the death of maxine cause mean in texas has brought this into sharp focus again just weeks after the law came into force restricting foreign adoptions specifically americans taking on

russian or france the u.s. district attorney ruled that the three year old died in january accidentally the final autopsy showed that the bruises on his body were self-inflicted and a behavioral disorder meant to maxime was likely to harm himself russian authorities are still not convinced and want for access to all the files of the investigation it's worth mentioning that killed maxime's younger brother was also adopted by the same family from the same orphanage and is still living with them although the mother now has only restricted access so it's said it is really in moscow demonstrators called for good deal to be brought home to russia and that all those involved in finding homes for the countries or france need to work much harder in protecting society is the most vulnerable children but seems case is definitely far from over both russia and the united states will continue their investigations into his death and we will tell you what they find. seems more and more of britain's young professionals are looking to take their talents elsewhere despite government plans to cut the top rate of income tax next month and with the

country's most economically active class dwindling in numbers therefore that of fears that policymakers aren't doing enough to avert further brain drain and do far more examines what's driving the young and smart to greener pastures. jesse off in search of a new life abroad that is what three and a half million britons have done over the last decade but it isn't just pensioners seeking a retirement in the sun latest figures show that actually two thirds of them are professionals age twenty two to forty four and it's feared the outflow of talent is actually hurting the nation's economy clearly a lot of these people are trained professionals who are seeking to build a life elsewhere and i think that that's something policymakers should be very concerned about so what are the reasons for the exodus chiropractic feet treats dozens of high end london kind suffering from stress every week britain's high rate of tax he says makes many consider emigrating but that's only half the story the

weather is a big factor in this country it's one thing to want to build a lifestyle basically they i know from my my point of view and when i was younger in south africa for example at the weekend we could go you know maybe water skiing we could go out we could of the lifestyle and this is what they're seeing they're seeing it in places like florida or in the states they're saying that some countries in europe that there's this sort of heat it's the lifestyle really it's the things people want and the quick straw poll on the street seems to confirm what he's saying but consider emigrating i definitely yes why where their primary finance is just a nice if it works where can i say oh yeah a state is like would you ever consider emigrating yeah why. just put. up with lots of lovely countries in the world and it would be nice to experience living in one of them so britain has a lot to compete with it can't change the weather but from next month the top rate of income tax will come down to forty five p.

in the pound although nick to know his government needs to do more at the moment and understandably government and commentators are entirely focused on austerity but we need to send a signal about the future the twenty five year olds the thirty year olds are thinking long term. not in the immediate future and we need to try and explain to them that it's this country is the place to be that you will be able to keep more of your income that you are and that there is the place for aspiration and for growth it's here in britain despite the outflow of talent net migration into ek is still around two hundred thousand people a year and independent think tank migration watch you can claim stan acts as a counterbalance although exactly how much is also being debated the reality is in there there are in a number of talented people coming to the country but there's also as we well know there's a large migration from issues of asylum where they've come from very troubled and

and difficult backgrounds through to economic migration where people are just trying to improve their lives that are not necessary replacing the level of skill that we're using so it's not a straight match for match whatever the true picture it is clear easily using its homegrown talent on average at a rate of four hundred people per day flying away from britain's economic troubles on a one way ticket is becoming an increasingly popular option andrew farmer. london . from the haves to the have nots is america's food aid program getting to those who really deserve it. it's good to be american because you can depend on the government so i mean i guess society is kind of you know hitting a bad but that's ok it isn't the american way to make it on your own in the famine the government or others or you think that true but it's a case by case basis of what were new york were taxpayers are concerned the food stamps are going towards the greedy and not the needy.

barack obama's been forced to give the go ahead to huge spending cuts which could shave as much as eighty five billion dollars off the federal budget by october the president hopes the automatic measures could be avoided but both are barbara. congress couldn't agree on a way out of the months of wrangling after the talks failed the blame game began condemning republican as the transitions from refusing to plug tax loopholes for the most wealthy citizens hundreds of thousands of american jobs and on the line with fears that the economic impact of what's called the sequester could have a global impact economist and author richard wolfe says it's the people who will ultimately pay for capitol hill's selfish squabbling republicans and democrats alike are committed to an austerity policy as we do in see it in europe there are just agreement is exactly who gets cut who's axes get raised and i'm very pessimistic as are most observers in washington that we are about to do what

britain italy greece have done with the same dire consequences looming in our future if you cut government spending as we're about to do if you raise taxes on average people which we did on january first with the rise in the payroll tax those are a double whammy two hits on our economy they depress the economy they lose people jobs they make people cut back in their spending with less jobs and less bending government tax revenues go down and that you races whatever benefit you might have imagined would come to the government's budget the irony is the economy gets worse and the government budget gets worse until they wake up and realize that this is an inappropriate way to go at a time of economic crisis let's remember the budget deficit of the government took off in two thousand and seven and eight which is because we had a crisis if you solve the deficit without dealing with the under lying prices it

told us why it's so special to him music is an important part of being human and to have the chance to play and sing and write music in that new place for humanity i think is also and says yes it's still pretty novel but a little further examination reveals quite a back catalogue from earth loftiest recording studio. or on. here cathy coleman plays the i assess his first duet with one of the music idols ian anderson from the band jethro tull had a two hundred year old irish for an attack and then it and then once you get up there you want to share this as with most things sent up there though they can't be just ordinary instruments. to make their life a little brighter a guitar was a range for them getting it on board was

. susan. it is a good story now u.s. food stamps are supposed to provide lay the cost of those who need it most but it seems the systems are touristy open to abuse their hafner says been finding out this week whether taxpayers think their money is being well spent end of the day. according to the u.s. government more than forty seven million people now use the food stamp program are

americans abusing the system this week let's talk about that one of the largest consumers of food stamps is actually wal-mart because they underpay their employees so we're concerned about people getting food stamps we should probably look in the direction of companies like wal-mart et cetera who refuse to pay a living wage says it's clear i don't know but it sounds like they or does that bother you know why not well it should probably bother me because i'm a taxpayer right yeah ok but it doesn't not really no why do you just assume that people are going to be is the system i think everybody abuses a system one way or another so how do you abuse that oh you can try to throw this back at me or you get everyone to take the fifth on the stock exchange the abuse and everybody's every use and everything so it doesn't bother you that the numbers are increasing. you know which just shows you that the there are more poor people

that's what it shows you that poverty is increasing in this country amidst all this wealth well i think it's a social situation so i think that we as taxpayers have to realize that people do need help and we need to as a country support our own people it's good to be american because you can depend on the government so i mean i guess society is kind of you know hinting at that but that's ok isn't the american way to make it on your own and not depend on the government or others for you think that is true but it's a case by case basis whether or not you think people are abusing the food stamp system the bottom line is that you're american you're buying groceries for a lot more people than just your family. the president spoken out a few minutes surveils with a lot more to say much because his head exposing more of those bank has dug secrets

. i've got a lot of messages from our t.v. viewers who are very concerned about drones living under skynet is not the american way and many are concerned about their safety and privacy congressman ted poe has introduced a bill that may address some people's concerns about drones this bill is the preserving american privacy act what's clear if i see how the government can use these trolls so basically the act as bureaucracy to drone usage in order to restrict it in theory protecting people's privacy the thing is that one side is arguing for drone usage and the other side for bureaucratic restricted drone usage but what about not using drones to spy on americans ever no drones should be used on american terror.
