accusations that america's siding with egypt his name is leaders with the main opposition refusing to meet us separate state john kerry. bradley manning's partial guilty pleas not enough for u.s. prosecutors who intend to prove the wiki leaks whistleblower aided terrorist by leaking classified documents. and why britain's brightest are bailing out for better lives elsewhere we examine what's making them pack up and the damage you could call the u.k. . to central one of them is kevin zero in here our top story egypt's opposition is lashed out of washington for meddling in the country's affairs the main leaders are refusing to meet secretary of state john kerry who's in cairo they accuse america of siding with the ruling brotherhood spite egypt's sharp political divisions.

looks at what the u.s. chief diplomats intentions could be then. 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 surely 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 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 the kerry said that the comments were objectionable those comments 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 an attempt by the united states to try and appease countries in the region israel to essentially insure 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 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. as for the cali calabar shall meet editor of the london based arabic newspaper al could see a lot of b. he claims about erica's top diplomat or visiting cairo at the worst possible time time john kerry arrived in egypt in a very critical. time. in front of the u.s. embassy today. by egyptian youth it is the really ironic. united states has been the safety of. the gates is being seen as the main support of the new emerging fascist rule

in egypt by many egyptians that's why they don't get to those three with this thing again is john kerry's visit is a very difficult time and the united states again is very unpopular in the streets of egypt the u.s. is pushing for a full court martial against army whistleblower 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 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 are to america's andrew blakers at the hearing. when 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 all 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 to 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 well if found guilty of aiding the enemy private money could spend the rest of his life in prison he's already spent over a thousand days behind bars awaiting trial moneys to friends to argue that his harsh detention conditions violated his constitutional rights and therefore that the charges against him should be dropped as

a result of his multiple nies 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 and a six by eight 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 manos apologies for his

behavior for his actions. reported there one of the most shocking items leaked by money was the so-called collateral murder video let's take a look. right. well it shows a u.s. helicopter. targeting civilians in baghdad eleven people would go and none of them returned fire and the two of them were reuters journalists now we can see here this approach a helicopter come in and it opens fire on a van that arrived at the scene with two children inside they were seriously injured in court manning compared this to a child torturing with a magnifying glass former m i five major very much i'm told is the revelation that did a great service to the relatives of the victims. well his family is also a cyclical buy still mostly can last under twenty rocky harley's post cancer and find out what the top of this pack and attempt to live see is saying there was no

video taken outside of what has happened so by exposing this bradley manning's case closed i was your case he says on the two piece on the price down is the speed of light if you tried and i think it went to one other aspect to our if you tried to slash and the other mainstream media outlets begin with the washington post the new york times then the politico web site and he was business and in fact proposing that if this were if they were painful it was. like your goal is to never if i play . the old model do not respond to this push towards 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 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. still to come. could inflame the middle east israel pulls the strings in washington security american go ahead should he decide to attack iran over its nuclear program we'll be talking about that and also with me kevin zero in politics prevailing over progress on capitol hill as president was forced to sign into effect eight hundred billion dollars worth of cuts about right after this break. market. to the global economy

with. the global financial headlines. israel could become the first of

a nation to enjoy the status of america's mages to teach you gotta lie which could translate as getting us backing for a strike on iran that's one of the issues indeed that will be discussed on sunday when thousands gather for the annual pro israel apec conference in washington however a few political analyst patrick henningsen says this year's conference will feel their position has weakened with the absence of president obama we know the u.s. and some noises coming out of washington there is quite a little contingent within the united states that is looking to perhaps get into the batek because she should run and not be talking abrasively as they have in previous years and israel has entered the fray views really lobby is really putting pressure on those politicians in america to take a more israeli line which is a more hardcore lied us to do with perhaps a flame war with out of around the big change that we're looking at is a shift there is

a shift away from this kind of like allegiance to israel that is on capitol hill in washington d.c. there are splits appearing because americans are realizing that it's not in their best interest it's not in american interest to follow israel's agenda so therefore aipac. it's not beneficial for aipac to be running the government and want any more as for the past thirty years. when this friendship leaves. the apac congress please someday. 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 in numbers there are fears that policymakers are doing enough to have a further brain drain of his own drew farmer 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 get a lifestyle basically they i know from my my point of view 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 seeing that 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're trying their finances just a nice a bit works where can i so yeah i straight is like would you ever consider emigrating yeah why. just book. 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 with only the bois 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 the county is still around two hundred thousand people a year and independent think tank migration what she claims than acts as a counterbalance although exactly how much is also being debated the reality is in there there are 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 r.t. london close call for the palestinian prime minister we're talking about online he was caught up in erupting violence in the west bank and treated at the same we've got the pictures of people calm we'll tell you how israeli soldiers fired tear gas and rubber bullets and proud feel reus of the building of a barrier that's cutting them off from their own also to occupy and the officer with the story of one of the n.y.p.d. finest indeed but he's been left red faced after protesters a quitted him assaulting him when video showed the police account didn't add up to the evidence given r.t. dot com. a rally in central moscow has called for russian orphans to be better protected the large number of children in care plus cases of abuse and death abroad brought the topic to the fore in russia alexia was at saturday's demonstration. 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 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 full access to all the files of the investigation it's worth mentioning that key deal younger brother was also dropped 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 societies 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 you certainly will. nato has officially apologized for the killing of two afghan boys last month calling it a tragedy the helicopter five of the children aged seven and eight who were attending kathlyn the rule of the province mistaken for insurgents the nato led campaign against taliban militants in afghanistan's long been condemned in the country for the number of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire more world news this morning greek teachers and students have rallied of athens against new education reforms and austerity measures they fear the moves will bring the first steps towards abolishing free education and labor government for devaluing

schooling by heavily reducing teacher numbers the march also followed this week's accidental death to students from carbon monoxide poisoning that used a makeshift heating stove because they couldn't afford fuel. 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 but the president hoped the automatic measures could be avoided but both the bomber and congress couldn't agree on a way out after months of wrangling after the talks failed the blame game began obama condemning republican intransigence of businesses using deployed tax loopholes for the most wealthy citizens while hundreds of thousands of american jobs are now on the line with fears that the economic impact of what's called the sequester could resonate globally economist northridge wolf told me it's the people that will ultimately pay for capitol hill selfish 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 major press 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 what condon the government's budget the irony is the economy gets worse and the government budgets get 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 they had a crisis if you solve the deficit without dealing with the under lying prices it will not work all right so they have lighted notes now and some melodies from space next astronauts on the international space station have been teaming up with musicians down on earth of these tomba funded i would all worked and looked and sounded. welcome to the google i 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 and 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 and also a ten 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 a royal old hassle that they had to relax the strings and i did 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. don't know what i'm going to do. just got a call on the phone. to see we're going to. pop to duets of a cosmic blues they've got it all here on the international song station i'm tom barton for art see your host on the orbits our stay tuned planet earth.

susan. great story greater u.s. food stamps has supposed to provide vital aid to those who need it most but it seems the system is notoriously open to abuse lori huff innocent and finding out whether taxpayers think their money is being 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 as 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 since it's clear i don't know but it sounds like they are 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 the stock exchange and everybody who's ever using everything so it doesn't bother you that the numbers are increasing. you know it 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 it 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 resident said it like it is so much the stacy of course the talk and not about the prospect of more work has been replaced by row books next.

i've got a lot of messages from our t.v. yours 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 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 grateful to you sir but that's just my opinion. and this is. a critique a free store charges three. three. three stooges free. food free both you have to feel for your media projects c.e.o. don carty dot com.
