egypt's opposition is refusing to need us secretary of state john kerry during his visit to cairo and that's as they he preaches him on the streets of all meddling in the country's affairs by siding with the slimmest government. bradley manning pleads guilty to releasing classified information to weaken leaks while the military prosecution pushes to prove the whistleblowers actions aided terrorists. and with the british a brain drain more and more young professionals are packing their bags and leaving the u.k. in search of a better life elsewhere we look at why the best and brightest leave and the damage it could do to the country.

wherever you're watching from around the world or this is r t it's good to have your company america's top diplomat so first visit to cairo open the floodgates of criticism from the country's anti government groups opposition leaders accuse washington off sticking its all into gyptian political affairs and refused to even meet with john kerry they claim america is siding with the ruling islamist a muslim brotherhood despite the sharp political divisions within the country policia looks at what john kerry's intentions could be in the troubled north african state. 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 the fusing to retry him the criticism is coming from liberal and secular leaders they accuse kerry and the united states of siding with the muslim brotherhood and they accuse its leader mohamed morsi of essentially 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 john kerry was in turkey on friday 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 those kerry said that the commies were objectionable 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 an attempt by the united states to try and

appease countries in this region israel he wants to sensually ensure a 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 in the street 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 core or at least part of the core of kerry's first visit to this region after taking office. me editor of the london based arabic newspaper al quds al arab be claims america's top diplomat is visiting cairo at the worst possible moment john kerry arrived in egypt in

a very critical. time. in front of the u.s. embassy today. by. this really ironic. united states that has been the safety of the water for the gates is being seen as the main support of the new emerging fascist. in egypt the boy many egyptians that's why they don't get to the street where this thing again is john kerry's visit is a very difficult time and the united states again very unpopular in the streets of egypt. still ahead this hour thousands a rally in russia's capital here in mending that often adopted a broader better protected jocular vote on what caused people to take to the

streets in protest. the u.s. is pushing forward with a full court martial against army whistleblower bradley manning prosecutors plan to call over one hundred forty witnesses to prove his guilty of serious offenses including aiding the enemy that could see him jailed for life or even executed the government says al qaeda benefited from the information made available by manning however the young soldiers in isis and admits only to providing secret data to weaker leagues with the aim of revealing the true cost of war argy america's entry blake was 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 of

a hundred and 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 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 it was aware aware of the repercussions and is ok with that private manning has already spent a thousand days behind bars just awaiting trial his defense team argues that such harsh to tension conditions violated his constitutional rights the charges against him should be dropped as a result. 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 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 he is minos apologies for his behavior for his actions among the items lead by manning that had the most impact

was the so-called collateral murder video. knowing a mechanical it's an attack in baghdad and to tell the seven that resulted in civilian casualties eleven people were gunned down and had returned fire two of the victims were reuters tournaments we can see here the apache helicopter opening fire at of then that arrived at the scene to children where in five women were seriously injured and caught a man in compared to this is a tear a child a torturing and with a magnifying glass from an ash five asians any metron says other revelations help the relatives also victims was speaking to him. to hiv the family also a victim by still mostly cannister under twenty rocky families pushed against them find out what the top of this pact and attempt annoyed see is saying there was no video they can also take what has happened so by exposing this bradley manning.

close i was ok so he says all that to do so with my family is this night he was god and i think it went into one other aspect or hour is that he tried to completion the other mainstream media outlets begin with the washington post the new york times and the politico web site and he was dismissed and in fact the proposal that if this were if they were painful it was the least like it was to netflix i pray that what we see is the old model do not with songs 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 was 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 ahead for you no longer a land of hope and glory also the break we explore all the bride doesn't bridge and a moving abroad sparking fears of what it could mean for the country's future. wealthy british style. guide to the tiger let's go back on the other. side the.

market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our. thanks. to. the s. . welcome back you're watching our team thousands have turned out in central moscow on saturday to demand better protection for russian oftens the rally was prompted by the recent death of three year old maxime chrisman was adopted by u.s. parents from russia alessio shuster reports on why so many felt the need to join at

the 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 maxime quiz 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 one full access to all the files of the investigation it's worth mentioning that killed seems 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 out of israel in moscow demonstrators called for curial 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 packing their bags and getting out a growing number of britain's young professionals are d. punting the country to live and work abroad honest the makers are stand accused of not doing enough to keep the brightest and most talented people in the u.k. and that's just my government plans to cut the top rate of income tax in april and reform examines are what's driving many to greener pastures elsewhere. 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 is 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 sell there a steady flow would you ever consider emigrating yeah why i. just took. it with lots of lovely countries in the world and it would be north 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 c'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 you will be able to keep more of

your income. 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 u.k. 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 difficult backgrounds through three konami 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 the u.k. is losing 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. from the haves to the haves not say is america's food aid program getting to those who really deserve it. do you just assume that they're going to abuse the system i think everybody abuses a system one way or another way in new york where taxpayers are concerned that food stamps are going towards the greedy and not the needy. israel could become the first ever nation to enjoy the official setters of america as a major strategic ally the proposed legislation will be among the issues discussed on sunday when the american israeli public affairs committee gathering kicks off in washington however the first time in seven years the gathering will not be attendant by the u.s. president or the israeli prime minister political analyst patrick henningsen says that this is not the only sign the israeli lobby is losing influence. 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 vatican with iran and not be talking abrasively as they have in previous years and israel has entered the fray the israeli lobby is really putting pressure on those politicians in america to take a more israeli line which is a more hardcore line as to do with perhaps and flame war with iran 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 is not it's not beneficial for aipac to be running the government and want to

any more as they have for the past thirty years. when it comes to this friendship. the apac congress this sunday on alt. we have more news and videos for you on our website at r.d. dot com here's us some of what we have for you the right now pennsbury hunger bag please all french police receive an official order to be for more and polite to suspects we have all the details online plus. it's back to the future italy may abandon the euro and return to the lyra as a way to save the country struggling economy recall how excited r.t. dot com. and now let's take a look at some other world news in brief twenty cities across portugal have witnessed major protests as people voiced their anger at government cuts in lisbon demonstrators marched to the ministers of finance ministries with them as

a condemning the e.u. in twenty eleven the country agreed to a raft of severe austerity measures indra turned for a seventy eight billion euro bailout the opposition claims are that it is of these cards that are driving the country into recession. fifteen people have been arrested after scuffles or broke out in manchester city center during an end to islamic protests staged by a far right group about seven hundred in this defense league activists attended the rally with about three hundred fifty people mounting a counter protest smoke bombs and bottles were thrown as police kept both the sides of marchers apart the english defense league was formed in two thousand and nine interest bonds to what they see as the rise in islamic of fund fundamentalism in the u.k. . in macedonia at least twenty two people have been injured during a second day of violence and sparked by the appointment of an ethnic albanian as

defense minister at least detained writers who were torching buses and attacking shops albanians in the country stage a concert rarely in response which led to more clear. the appointment stoked controversy because the new defense minister was a guerrilla fighter in two thousand and one of the mean insurgency. washington spends a billions of tax dollars each year to provide food aged to those who need it the most but it seems that the food stamp program is ripe for abuse with one in seven americans participating laurie haven't asked 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 is 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 the stock exchange and everybody who's ever using 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 but 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. and that's take a look at how music can really unite people no matter the distance astronauts have
