america's chief diplomat has met with a wall of criticism from the opposition cheering his visit in egypt facing accusations that the u.s. is siding too much with islamist roots. so from. bradley manning pleads guilty to leaking secret data to wiki leaks but the prosecution is ready to jail him for what they say was aiding the enemy. by benedict the pope becomes the first catholic leader to quit in six hundred years leaving behind a church mired in child abuse and corruption scandals. you're watching the weekly an hour to round up with the big stories of the last seven days with me kevin and first egypt has given the visiting u.s. secretary of state a fiery reception with a show of public anger against american support for the muslim brotherhood the

opposition accuses the ruling is the miss of stifling democracy and sees the u.s. role as unwelcome interference in their country's affairs as true reports. that was . from the people here in egypt we saw with protests outside the foreign ministry of people actually burning pictures of john kerry saying that he was supporting the muslim brotherhood and u.s. interests here in the egypt on a full political level opposition leaders including hamdeen sabbahi mohamed el baradei failed to attend the meeting on saturday yesterday six of v.l.f. in opposition because he used to attend these tea party himself who of course is part of the national salvation front the leading opposition coalition here he said that he wouldn't open dialogue with john kerry the u.s. continue to see the interests here and to interfere at a domestic level. for his part apparently did to meet with john kerry we're not

sure what was actually discussed. they talked to him on the phone clearly a feeling of anger towards the u.s. secretary of state who was calling for political consensus which many people interpret as a backing the muslim brotherhood policies here has historically been a lot of anger towards the u.s. since the revolution people saw america supporting him back to form and to dictators switching their lease in regions to the muslim brotherhood and of course pushing forward this very unpopular four point eight billion dollar i.m.f. loan which will see subsidy cuts and tax hikes affecting the poorest of society and if william and political analysts are all through myths laws no oil was told to the washington starting to realize that maybe supporting the wrong side no need. i think there's a double faced policy in washington the backing of the muslim brotherhood goes back to the cia's role in egypt back fifty's when the world saw the muslim brotherhood

as a potentially useful tool to put in their bag of organizations that they manipulate around the world i think some people around president obama have the delusion that they could control what's basically political islam or fascist movement so it's not really a movement for democracy in any of the imagination at this point morsi is in a life and death struggle because the popular support was not there for this school and washington is beginning to get a little bit wobbly on its support for morsi for that reason they're beginning to rethink i think that's one of the reasons for the change between hillary clinton and john kerry to bring in a new cast of people and see what what kind of options there are in egypt just for . italy's paralyzed by a post vote stalemate just what it needs a reliable government more than ever. the don't you need to count be paid for at

the current economics of the italian system we've got some projections then where the coalition chaos could lead the already struggling euro zone is coming up shortly also to the sequester kicks in taking a chain saw to america's economy with eighty five billion dollars and potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs to be cut thanks to republican and democrat they care . after more than a thousand days of waiting u.s. soldier bradley manning got to tell the world why he exposed classified military data to wiki leaks on thursday he confessed to some of the lesser charges against him which carry a twenty year jail sentence but prosecutors are plowing on to get a conviction of aiding the enemy nonetheless miniport nine hour manning's reasons for risking everything to go public. guilty but not sorry more than one thousand days after his arrest u.s. army private bradley manning admitted to being the source behind the largest leak of classified information in u.s.

history private first class bradley manning has pleaded guilty to ten of the twenty two charges against him private bradley manning now admits he gave thousands of secret document to the wiki leaks website manning gave his first detailed explanation of why he did it manning said he uploaded troops of u.s. secrets to the weekly leaks website because quote americans have a right to know the true cost of war with the purest form with he had be a very sophisticated analysis of why he had to do it as a duty to spread americans to expose what their government was doing in the name which within the uncouth home around the world so all credit to him he's a. former intelligence analyst said he attempted to contact traditional media outlets like the washington post the new york times and politico but failed to get through to them later deciding to pass the documents on to wiki leaks manning said he engaged in a prolonged internet conversation with the wiki leaks member called cox who he assumes was julian

a songe i think it's very clear that the risks of street government secrecy are much graver and have already done much more serious damage to the united states and god knows other countries and the risks wrought by whistleblowers and leaks like this one manning pleaded not guilty to aiding the enemy the most serious charge which washington is determined to proof the u.s. government is reportedly planning to call a key witness to testify that osama bin laden actively sought to access material manning passed along to wiki leaks some reports suggest the unknown individual could reportedly be one of the navy seals involved in the i bought a bot raid that killed bin laden the fear here i think is that you would be sensationalizing the proceedings and it would it would make it nearly impossible for manning to have. a fair trial in a just because we now be talking about terrorism terrorism and terrorism will get away from the fact that he is charged with the offense of releasing the information and they don't have to show that terrorists received it this will continue the

obama administration has ushered in this era of pursuing whistleblowers and making certain that they are prosecuted and they go out because i'm zealously in a manner that they do not go after other individuals that's been the thing i think is the most particularly striking is you can have private contractors who engage in weapons smuggling like like the blackwater executives or you can have bankers that engage in financial fraud and they are pursued as jealously as whistle blowers following his arrest in may two thousand and ten manning was kept in solitary confinement at a military jail in kuwait then at a marine prison in quantico virginia for the first ten months of his detention the former army analyst spent twenty three hours a day in a six by eight foot windowless cell and was forced to sleep naked without bed sheets treatment that hundreds of legal scholars including president barack obama's

former harvard professor claims was cruel and inhumane punishment that may have undermined manning's psychological stability i think he was treated very horrendously and they were very they were very much trying to break him and some jackhammers of horrors and to make it clear to intimidate people around the world who would do the kind of heroic things that granny meeting did to try and the jury them from doing that manning himself said he believed the move would only embarrass but not damage to the u.s. and eventually kick start a public debate the result the u.s. was shamed in front page headlines around the world a nervous superpower launched a witch hunt against whistleblowers and wiki leaks became a household name the cost for young private may spend between twenty years and a lifetime behind bars for an important i.r.t. new york.

italy's locked in limbo a week after parliamentary elections failed to produce a clear winner parties across the political spectrum so far refusing any talk of coalitions to arguably holding a balance of power is former comedian pair pay grillo and he's suggesting that italy may leave the euro and return to the lira that raised eyebrows across the euro zone which is cautiously watching how the deadlock will be resolved placing is still behind the democrats and a coalition led by disgraced former prime minister silvio berlusconi investment advisor patrick young told us it leaves eurozone partners have good reason to worry the dots a veto can't be paid for under the current economics of the italian system of course we've heard a number of politicians who spent the whole of the last fifty or sixty years in frankly all of western europe telling people that government would ultimately be the answer to all of their problems that era is over we're looking at an era of smaller government smaller debt and actually a great deal more powerful isn't relevant the government activity it really is

running into an incredible brick wall and the european union with it if the child cannot keep sustaining the debt they already have then they have fundamental problems and unfortunately when the coalition that's essentially a coalition from hale looking at the negotiations that are not being put together by the president it's going to be very difficult for italy to sustain itself in the euro zone and if it really is not going to be all that reliable member of the euro zone then there probably is not going to be a euro zone. the catholic church made history this week as benedict the sixteenth officially resigned something a pope hasn't been for six hundred years that is the church remains leaderless internal divisions in a damaged reputation mean that many are losing faith and he's really good explains . it's not just about selecting a new bishop of rome some say that the very future of the catholic church the catholic church is undergoing a very important crisis it is a crisis at two levels this is a government crisis and it is

a crisis of the believers there was a lack of leadership which culminated in the great scandals of the but the leaks are far from the splendor of the sistine chapel a closer look at the recent events in the vatican to highlight disillusionment and frustration with the church once all about the i distanced myself from the church when i became an adult when i started talking about what had been talking with specially after all the scandals broke out in the catholic church i realize that it doesn't represent my spirituality benedict the sixteenth may have been the first pope with a twitter account but many argue this measure alone was not strong enough in appealing to the masses now this is the age of transparency the age of before the churches should be properly. they'd be. considered sacred she went. to great assets everybody now you see that it would be to be. the problem of the media they're really working on this hearing to change many things about the church

for people to gabrieli of this inability to face up to and much less to punish those who may be responsible for tainting the image of the church is the deciding factor in abandoning catholicism and there's another scandal with a girl who disappeared in the vatican twenty years ago and they say the man found her remains the italian police are leading the investigation here but instead of helping them the vatican is obstructing the investigation it's likely they knew about this and stayed silent and on top of all those cases of pedophilia with this is just disgusting the list of controversial events involving catholic priests or vatican officials reads like a tabloid reports of sex abuse pedophile. the accusations alleged large scale corruption and possible ties with the mafia while the media especially in italy has been having a field day with the scandals the vatican either stayed silent or rebuffed all accusations but those things may be looking rather grim for the seat of st peter's

at a first glance there's still a chance the catholic church can make a comeback. with the church would. be strong. but in spite of that. relations have left me wondering if. the world is rapidly changing and. failed to keep up pace sure it has seen a fair number of ups and downs as well as in two thousand year long history but there is opinion that perhaps taking on pleasant development sweeping it under the carpet and feeling it. is a tradition better left in the past in rome. states is. deadly consequences of america's. friendship that

and there's a pac now if the plan becomes legislation it could have large the u.s. to support israel diplomatically militarily if it strikes iran it could also exempt israel from a reduction in foreign aid that might result from budget cuts yet surprisingly the conflict with the palestinians isn't among the topics which america's most powerful pro israeli lobby is going to be tackling what's more neither of the country's leaders will be attending that's prompted speculation that the group is no longer maybe as powerful as it used to be. there is a lot of belief that the. israel lobby is losing the clout for my life but they have had a series of reversals pushing the election the reelection of obama was a reversal where the israeli go clearly made clear they didn't want to be reelected they were backing romney then their candidate for secretary of state with susan rice she was our john kerry. they didn't want john kerry so that was their second

defeat and then he just had spectacular defeat and the nomination confirmation of it. affected is just. suffered a number of the worst and one hand they're losing flopping the other in their agenda is getting more stream of more radical these to things are a little bit used to be used to be very careful to try and project a bipartisan image of public democrats but increasingly. advocating breaking agenda that a lot of democrats don't want to be a source of so for example they are pushing legislation to have the congress explicitly endorse in this really attack on iraq well many democrats don't want to have anything to do with that that's a contradiction to the obama administration's policy. this friendship leave. the apac congress this sunday.

also billion dollar cuts have kicked in in the united states after the white house failed to find common ground with republicans on how to cut america's massive debt measures like the cost hundreds of thousands of jobs but even as the first snips of made the blame game grows with both camps desperate to offload responsibility economist richard wolfe told me the american people should prepare for the worst. if publicans and democrats alike are committed to an austerity policy as we do and 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 bending government tax revenues go down and that you races whatever benefit you might have imagined would comment on 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. justice is handed out in bahrain incensed the anti-government movement this last week seven protesters three of whom were children were jailed for ten years for the attempted murder of a policeman during a rally last year while at the same time to bahraini policemen were acquitted of shooting a protest a dead human rights activists say it's high time the international community spoke . we are in the middle of a geopolitical conflict between the unit the united states of america especially who are holding the fleet and the iran and saudi arabia interpretation behind the

by any people who are in the middle of this it's like we are a battlefield the international community and the international government western governments should assure that even if they were interested in the security of the region if they do not back the human rights of the people of behind if you do not respect the democratic demand of their god if you will tomorrow these people might take over and these people might not like that but the united states or other governments did not support them in one day. now take a look at this with some have to hargrove this is your bag polish gun lovers record breaking forth but about revolver it's the largest ever fully working pistol of its card yes and we've got the video of it and i used to chattel also moscow's make of money the russian capital for the billionaires and else in the world will tell you what they're slashing their cash on at r.t. dot com.

you have this rebels have reportedly seize control of a prison in northern syria and freed hundreds of detainees fighters from the so-called al nusra front with links to al qaida believed to be among the rebels there meanwhile the u.k. says it doesn't rule out supplying weapons to the syrian opposition earlier this week the u.s. for the first time publicly committed itself to sending known lethal aid to armed factions pathing the syrian government john laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris says these efforts won't bring syria closer to peace though. sixteen billion dollars should not be sneezed at and what the americans are trying to do is basically to prop up a project that so far has failed if we look back to two thousand and eleven when

the directions and was calling for the overthrow of us that's expected at the regime in syria to fall very quickly and that hasn't happened however great the rebels gains may have been the regime is still fighting back and still shows no signs of collapsing instead it's the opposition which is fractured famously the syrian national council is a rag bag of different interests the opposition is breaking out and there are plenty of people within the opposition at least according to my sources in the region who are bitterly disappointed with the west. it's who expected a lot more money they probably wanted to steal a lot of it but certainly they have not received all that they have been promised it'll be interesting to see how much of this sixty million dollars gets through that the ordinary syrian population is suffering very greatly from this opposition from this so-called liberation because this these paramilitary groups clearly cannot provide any basic services they are not the state. the u.s.

is looking to tighten the screws on iran with yet more sanctions in a couple of minutes we'll look at what's really behind the pressure coming from capitol hill plus we talk to one of libya's revolution leaders about why year after toppling the previous regime his country still in chaos and disarray. live. feed that street. feed. her few. close. look. at. the good.

luck. that really. are. a fresh attend to solve the impasse over iran's nuclear program early this week failed to produce any breakthrough six world powers offered to relax some sanctions if to run scale back its uranium enrichment but iran which insists its atomic ambitions are purely peaceful refused the deal will supply u.s.

political advisors told things the risk though of a nuclear iran is being blown out of proportion. the iranian civilization has been around for five thousand years certainly longer than most western civilizations or any western civilizations and they're not suicidal. they know that were they to use nuclear weapons they would be obliterated washington has being pushed then being pushed by israel for a long time to effect regime change in iran and the nuclear program as an excuse to put pressure on iran to try to cause regime change but i'm not saying that a nuclear armed iran would be a good thing but a nuclear armed any country is not a good thing but the russian out behind pressure on iran and my opinion comes directly from israel desire for regime change in iran and why the

united states government to make that happen. of all the economies economic penalties imposed on iran over its nuclear energy program the oil export balance in the country the hardest was actually helped strengthen some iranian businesses to grow for national guard story. the international ban on iranian oil cost the country around forty billion dollars in two thousand and twelve according to the u. but despite this huge gap in iran's income officials have some good news indeed harsh sanctions normal experts have increased by least thirty percent from ego. so what going to look a bad thing well may actually play a positive role we've been asking our government for many years to decrease dependence on oil to at least fifty percent was too high up around eighty percent making our economy too vulnerable that some say today is a historic opportunity to finally get rid of this dangerous oil dependence so you

and iran actually has a lot of alternative resources to feed from from well known copper it's to dade's via minerals and stones between wanting destry in particular appears to be thriving these days iran's famous discussions have been going through tough times in the last couple of years heavy frosts and terrible droughts have been damaging large parts of the harvest but these here in the country under tough economic sanctions especially those are doing better than ever. our currency ryall fell by almost forty percent in october but i sell the statues both at home and abroad and i benefited from price rise was that as you read in the sashes of responses to more than a hundred countries worldwide that even if farmers cannot send in the broad confident business move them a great thousands of industry workers also benefit which has been overcome the country's highest ever inflation the amount of production and price of the shares affect our salaries every year they add ten to twenty percent of my salary busy and

i have some bonus to my daily pay. once the producers seem to be more protected the next two turns while international sanctions don't stand the targets for food industry current measures attack the banking system making financial transactions hard not to crack the also penalize the banks that. are not in u.s. and europe they may be in china or south america they penalize them for dealing with iraq that i mean that's the main problem which is actually illegal internationally is a black gold the discussion is must be a green one at least for iran locals say these small knots have great health benefits especially for the man well to the country it also gives strength iran's biggest not all expert has always been a significant source of revenue and as the latest round of sanctions russia's ever bites it's also something iran may have to rely on even more than before.
