live from moscow at ten pm accusations that america's siding with egypt's islamist leader is the real positions refusing to be u.s. secretary of state john kerry who's in cairo. bradley manning's guilty plea is not enough for us prosecutors prove the wiki leaks whistleblower aided terrorists by leaking classified documents. why britain's brightest of bailing out for better lives elsewhere we examine what is making the pack up on the damage it could cause in the u.k. . good evening if you just joined this it's kevin owen here at r.t. tonight our top story egypt's opposition has lashed out at washington for meddling in the country's affairs its leaders are refusing to meet secretary of state john

kerry has arrived in cairo they accuse america of siding with the ruling was lim brotherhood despite egypt's sharp political divisions 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 two 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 sign of them was a crime against humanity and response to this kerry said that the comments were objects in of all this comment could indeed frustrate kerry's attempts to try and create an improvement in a strange the israeli turkish relations that have hit an all time low what we essentially see through kerry's visit is him attempt by the united states to try and appease countries in the region israel to essentially ensure the telegraph 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 and solves 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 and 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. paula slayer they were separate kerry's visit to egypt is an expected erald a major shift in washington's policy towards the country but with israel under increasing pressure from its neighbors it's thought the overriding concern for america is protecting its key regional ally by any means we have not seen a major rewrite situation american policy in light of the arab spring with the transition in egypt in particular it's really still the same whole series of

head on the board now the body within it's used to protect american interests is really the army roads and presidential powers it's the army that continues to get a great deal of american funds and it is through the closure of the owner that i think americans for tuning in many of the same policies that maintained under mubarak so the way that users 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 army will supply bradley manning prosecutors plan to call a full witness list to prove he's guilty of a range of serious charges including aiding the enemy now manning denies this admitting only to providing secret data the wiki leaks for the aim of revealing the true cost of war as he put it r.t. america's andrew blake was at the hearing. see 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 if guilty of aiding the enemy private manning could spend the rest of his life in prison these are ready to spread over a thousand days bone bones awaiting trial monies to friends team argue that his hocks to tension conditions violated his constitutional rights and that therefore the charges against him should be dropped as a result. marina put myra's full in 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 one of the most shocking items league by manning was the so-called collateral murder video has come up on the screen showing the u.s. helicopter attack in two thousand and seven targeting civilians in. eleven people would go and none of them would return fire indeed two of the victims were reuters journalists there you can see here is that approach a helicopter comes it opens fire out of it arrived at the scene inside the van with two children they were seriously injured in court running compared this to a child torturing with a magnifying glass for only five agent told us the revelation did a great service to the relatives of the victims. to his family also

a cyclical post mostly can last and one title rocky families pushed against and find out what the top of this pack attempt to light see is saying there was no here they can also take what has happened so by exposing this bradley manning's case closed i was your case he says are good to see some of my family the light has to be tried and i think it's unfair and one other aspect to our is that he tried to slash and other mainstream media outlets to 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 were painful it was. 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. coming up soon tonight with no budget on the budget america's goals for shop cuts ahead than eighty five billion dollars worth of the president obama signed a muffin off the politics of progress on capitol hill we talk about that in a few minutes we're talking about this too. soon. literally a stellar performance from the space station you have the right stuff by them for details of a musical collaboration that. this. was

video for your media project a free media. says r.t. international a rally in central moscow has called for russian orphans to be better protected a large number of children in care plus cases of abuse and death abroad have brought the topic really to the forefront in russia. he 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 or friends and finding a home for them in russia it 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 orphans 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 keil 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 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 what 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. 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 but with the country's most economically active class dwindling the numbers there are fears that policymakers aren't doing enough to avert further brain drain and he's out to far examines what's driving the young and the 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 bet 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 of a bit of a lifestyle and this is what they're seeing they're seeing it in places like florida or in the states they're seeing in some countries in europe that there's this sort of heat it's the lifestyle really that these 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 they are trying their finances just a nice if it works where can i so you're a straight a flake would you ever consider emigrating yeah why. just work. 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 well there are no she's 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 the e.u. kerry is still around two hundred thousand people a year and independent think tank migration what she claims than x. is 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 our london . and from the haves to the have nots we're asking soon is america's food aid program really 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 is true but it's a case by case basis where in new york we're taxpayers are concerned that food stamps are going towards the greedy and not the needy. staying in

america next to barack obama's been forced to give the go ahead to huge spending cuts there which could shave as much as eight hundred five billion dollars off the federal budget by october the president hoped the automatic measures could be avoided but both a bar of congress. couldn't agree on a way out of the months of wrangling after the talks failed the blame game began an obama condemning republican intransigence for refusing to apply for tax loopholes for the most wealthy citizen workers hundreds of thousands of american jobs are now on the line with is the economic impact of what's called the sequester could resonate globally economist northbridge and wolf told me if the it's going to be actually the people he says what ultimately paid for capitol hill so selfish and squabbling. republicans and democrats alike are committed to an austerity policy as we do in see it in europe their only disagreement is exactly who gets cut whose 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 spending 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

favorite story of the day astronauts on the international space station have been teaming up with musicians down on earth years artie's tom. welcome to the google are ready to play a little music indeed welcome to the international song station. bhansali . turn. by astronaut chris hadfield there with fellow canadian and singer ed robertson of the band a kid ladies and their specially composed cosmic choral duet back on earth chris 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's loftiest recording studio.

here cathy coleman plays the i assess his first duet with one of the music idols ian anderson from the band jethro tull set at two hundred year old irish for an a ten and then 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 arranged for them getting it on board was a royal old hassle though they had to relax the strings an added foam rubber to prevent vibration. music is all about sharing as chris hadfield found out the first time he played in space with the crew of the russian space station mir back in one thousand nine hundred five.

and it's a great way of sharing the emotions of the space crews some of them out of this world. others more down to work such as ron garan disappointment on finding out his return to earth was delayed by two months. that those two station. are going to do. just got a call on the phone. say we are going. from cool pop to sleep duets of the cosmic blues they've got it all here on the international song station i'm tom barton for aussie your host on the orbits our stay tuned planet earth. soon.

as one big enough and they great stuff for us food stamps are supposed to have a vital aid to those who need it most but it seems the system is the tories failed to abuse their half nurses and finding out where the taxpayers think their money isn't the big well spent. 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 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 abuse the system i think everybody abuses a system one way or another so how do you abuse that oh you're trying to throw this back at me or you said everyone to take the fifth on it was the stock exchange and everybody who's ever using everything so it doesn't bother you that the numbers are increasing. no 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 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 is that 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. coming up next i'll be mounting gives those old style new shows a run for the money in breaking the set this is the international thanks for being with us.

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 drugs so basically the act adds 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 territory period and overseas they seem to breed more terrorists than they kill saying that there are only two sides to this issue for drones and well kind of for drones is absurd congressman poe if you would please be so kind as to change the name of your legislation to the drones are an acceptable form of tyranny act i would be very great.
