great to have you with us this afternoon it's three pm here in the russian capital i'm lucy catherine of and of course you're watching our t.v. well into our top story five people including two police officers have reportedly been killed in the egyptian city of port side the army had intervened to break up the clashes there leaving about six hundred people injured violence erupted over a decision to move those detained over last year's football rioting to prisons located outside the city this came during the u.s. secretary of state's visit for talks with president mohamed morsi which up outraged the opposition parties bill true has the latest from from cairo looks like the clashes have been continuing overnight in this restive totals city of port sites with the death toll rising and the injuries are topping i just pull hundreds what happened was thirty nine defendants in this port saïd football months ago that occurred last. february when moved by security forces angering families who

gathered at the security directorate to protest and then clashed with the police force the army was asked to come in it's the streets to calm the situation down there were a confusing reports yesterday that the army were actually attacking the police something that the military actually said didn't happen however we expect this to continue as we look ahead to two suffered a verdict on the remaining defendants in this port side football massacre we've also seen violence in months or of the nile delta city after a young man was run over by a police vehicle during demonstrations that continues here in cairo there's been quite restive here as well the police forces in the early hours of yesterday morning attempted to clear a square and open it up to traffic this and get protesters who clashed with police on the cornish and close the square behind me including erecting further tents this

is of course is happening in the background of the visit from the u.s. secretary of state and his first meeting on something they protesters gathered in front of the foreign ministry burning effigies of john kerry saying he was going to be supporting the muslim brotherhood and pursuing the american interests opposition figures including having to but he said mohamed el baradei failed to attend a key meeting with john kerry with hamdeen sabbahi saying that he wouldn't have dialogue with a few secretary of state whilst the us was pushing interest as john kerry left yesterday evening ultras the hardcore football fans who quite politicised groups actually blocked the airport road meaning he was delayed by two hours before he left for saudi. according to a bureau of investigative journalism investigation having a british passport to report revoked just turn into a death sentence for some people recent figures suggest the u.k. has secretly ramped up

a controversial program that strips people of their british citizenship on national security grounds on the blacklist are those london suspects are linked to terrorism but doesn't have enough evidence to prosecute well some of the former british and former british nationals have allegedly been detained tortured even killed abroad the take a closer look now british born mohamed sakara has had a citizenship revoked almost three years ago he had just turned twenty seven years old when he was killed by a u.s. drone strike in somalia his close friend meanwhile bill ya'll all berge ali who came to the u.k. as a baby and grew up there was killed under the same circumstances in somalia within hours of calling his wife in london to congratulate her on the birth of their first son and that same year a sudanese a british man took his four british children on holiday to sudan four days after leaving he was stripped of his passport and his children were prevented from growing up in the u.k. meanwhile in another case a british born family including three children were all stuck in pakistan after

losing their citizenship while they're back in two thousand and eleven well let's go to london now where our teams andrew farmer has spoken to the person behind this investigation. well the full extent of chilling government program to rid the country of suspect terrorists has been revealed we now know that over the last three years sixteen people have had been stripped of their british passports and the grounds of national security critics claim that these suspects have little chance of a pale with human rights lawyers actually describing the whole process as mediæval and sinister well to talk more about this is chris woods from the bureau investigative journalism which actually broke this story chris with a new report it says or people are claiming that this completely ignores people's human rights and also the basic principle of innocent until proven guilty what is the evidence to support this all of these sixteen individuals have had citizenship revoked their passports canceled on the personal side of the home secretary to the courts have had no citation in this process we don't know the evidence that's been

laid against these men. and even if they are able to get an appeal which is very very difficult that appeal will mostly be heard in secret and again those affected and their lawyers may never know the true extent of the evidence against them so it's a very secretive process in which the rule of law really does seem to be absent in some places and that's been commented on by judges sitting looking at this process some of whom have raised the point that the government has waited until people have got on family holidays for example before stepping in and removing my citizenship effectively locking the door behind people who are not only locking those affected out of the country but their families as well the children who are british or british born unable to come back into the country without separating the families and so on so this can have very serious implications far beyond the individual suspect as we know to these suspects that are actually being killed by us strange strikes is that a coincidence there's no proof yet of any direct connection between those events

but certainly people are asking questions it is clear that those people died after their citizenship was removed as part of an active targeting by the united. states and again neither of those individuals were ever charged with any offense in the u.k. we know they were accused of serious terrorist offenses but there were no charges have been laid against the government's response so far has been to say that citizenship here in the united kingdom. is a privilege and not a wrong to buy the guns but these are all cases where the government has acted because of their concerns about the threats that these individuals represent the united kingdom so the home office interview they've done the right thing and they're sticking by their action ok chris thank you we will have to leave it there it is worth pointing out that the government has had these powers since two thousand and two well though it is this current government is really ramped up its use and over the last three years the number of cases has increased from six to twenty one and of course as we've heard the government only has to publicly justify

what it's doing on the grounds it is in the interests of national security. and they do seem to be more examples of a british american connection now last june a former london based care worker maki harshly has his citizenship had a citizenship revoked and was allegedly pressured by british secret services into working as an informant after rejecting that my five option he was reportedly handed over to be us where he is now facing terrorism charges or to have caught up with his father who says his son is being unfairly prosecuted it was unexpected and shock to the horror family who are pretty sure who are leads he all of us navy has a pretty sick but it's a sort of a shock to us we have wondered how it could be like that for someone just to be this is this is just to be provoked like that has been removed from what he was out of the card that he was away and it was even hard for us to contact him to appeal against the kids all i can see is that mighty he's a muslim and belief and he's

a practicing muslim but being a product muslim is not being an islamist that's what i can see that's why that's always been victimized. time for a weather update and it's taking to the cloudless skies i've asked already have planes both old and new go on display at an international air show in melbourne australia you can visit our web page to watch this but there are video and see the photos also for you tragedy strikes in eastern siberia as an avalanche hits a group of teenagers one had free themselves before alerting emergency services but five remain missing you can get all the details on these stories and more at r.t. dot com. explicit warnings of military action against iran are coming in hot and heavy at

the american israel public affairs committee conference in washington. israel's most ardent supporters are pushing for greater u.s. backing but the annual meeting has once again to on fire with protesters staging a somewhat colorful demonstration here and other concerns as aggressive as settlement expansion on the occupied palestinian land what they say is war mongering by israel's prime minister r.t. is going to kick out of was out of the conference it's the fact is pushing for a congressional resolution that you say should israel decided to strike you want the u.s. would do all the support including military or oceanus mosque to humane on this day by. far. we've stated vis time and again and we expect over those who say to me that. this kind of

a congressional green light for preemptive strike although non-binding is seen by some as a way to put pressure on the obama administration which so far has been reluctant to see the u.s. dragged into another war in the middle of the us will never abandon their nuclear efforts unless they genuinely believe that america is serious about keeping all options on the table. many of the conference said they thought the administration was soft on iran but that's a view that was expressed on the sidelines not from the podium the potential of it is really nuclear defense is the only thing that's keeping the country alive not relying on america because obama has not been forthcoming in defending them against iran in fact he's been stalling them apac is also pushing for legislation that would designate israel as a major strategic ally of the united states the question many ask is why does the country that's perceived as being closest to america suddenly need the congressional see the full now according to an n.b.c.

wall street journal poll that came out just a few days ago fifty five percent of americans now no longer. want any sort of preference between either side of the israeli palestinian conflict the lobby maybe this is a chance particularly in the face of sequestration where there could be cut just across the board almost two hundred million dollars they could view this as a last chance to tie in support. despite here agency of the subject of conflict with the palestinians has received considerably less attention at the summit they want but the general impression here is that what's widely regarded as the most influential lobby in the american politics is detected a potential threat not just from israel's neighbors but from inside washington itself. in the wake of two wars in a battered economy we see signs of an increasing desire to disengage from world events and focus inward this growing yearning to untangle from what is perceived as

too complicated a world effects both parties conservatives and liberals alike they just want out. for israel even the tendency toward isolationism is extremely dangerous refusing to speak on camera some of the delegates expressed frustration over the president's decision to nominate people is defense secretary chuck hagel is known to have been critical of the pro israel lobby president obama will not be speaking at the conference this year but he'll be traveling to israel at the end of the month and one of the speakers here said it's going to be a real challenge for him to show that deep down in that podium he really understands israel and the threats that he faces that gives an impression that the park is not too happy about the administration seemingly trying to play down the war talk in washington i'm going to check on. it's time to break down our teens online poll and our courts have been bumps on the road and diplomatic ties between

the u.s. and israel and washington's emergency cuts now in effect financial ties could suffer as well and today we want to know whether you believe that american aid to israel could be threatened by the sequester for take a look at how these numbers have broken down now almost half of you forty four percent as you can see there believe the israeli lobby is simply too influential and would block any cuts now a third of you hold the opposite view as saying that all foreign aid to foreign handouts will be reduced regardless of what happens now about a quarter of you believe the aid is simply too critical to israel's survival to be cut and a smaller minority three percent right there say that less money will be sent but only if the u.s. agrees to block israel back israel in a potential strike against iran of course it's not too late to both to get over to r.t. dot com and weigh in as well as have your say. well a court hearing starts i'm talking for beijing charges against the late russian

attorney sergei magnitsky after a short break we'll be reporting on the court case which is coming up pardon me up and running despite the suspect high profile death in custody. the world. series technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've gone to the future covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

on. the news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. welcome back i'm lucy calvin of staff at spain's iberia airlines are said to ground more than a thousand flights with a second round of strikes lasting five days last week the firm said that it was sticking to plans to cut salaries and x. almost four thousand jobs artie's chest arcilla joins us live with the details now what is spain expected to witness today. well we're going to see

a lot more angry people lot more angry workers really the staff of the iberian airlines one of the national carriers has taken this to heart taken it personally really there's been a rise of anti british a sentiment there are now this. has been the result of iberia merging with british airways forming the group and says this announcement had come to pass we've already seen the people taking to the streets those working for iberia and putting out a poster saying british go home and the workers unions have also been calling the management a betrayers that they have actually betrayed the spanish people by selling spanish national interests to foreign interests that's what they're calling this there has been a three months of negotiations between the unions and the management which should not see any deal and therefore leading to about three thousand eight hundred jobs

wanting to be caught as well as one thousand three hundred seventy flights that are grounded it today now this is certainly paralyzing to the spanish economy not to mention adding on to the twenty six percent of unemployed already and steering here some sort of nationalist a sentimental wanting to protect their own interests of course over what they see as mediation from foreigners at this point and of course it's not just in the air that we've seen similar scenes across other european countries can you tell us a little bit more about that. well that's right the reaction from the block especially specifically the euro zone have been pretty much one block dealing with billions of debt anyone with that amount of debt would be having a headache trying to deal with this cyprus is the latest that they're going to talk about bailing out at this point cyprus and the warning bells for that country has already been sounding as of last year but no deal has been made and today they're trying to move that forward and this is just the latest of

a string of countries already that have had to bail out and also portugal in arlon want to renegotiate their bailout plans that have already been received they want more time for their money and this is despite leaders saying that they are on track and that begs the question if they are indeed on track why would they need more time for restructuring debt again making markets and investors jittery no interest in a country like lockerbie for example despite population against joining the euro zone have now been hurrying being so eager to join the euro zone and this begs the question of why they're actually doing is trying to find stability in a largely unstable block this is certainly a country to watch again and also is experiencing a drop in the living standards families there have about ten percent less to spend certainly not a very positive outlook for a majority of the countries in the euro zone so today they're dealing with cyprus a spill out and as well as the protests in spain but the question among nervous

investors and concerned citizens to morrow who is it going to be and how much more is it going to hurt certainly is all across the board r.t. is reporting live from brussels for us thank you for that update. well from protests gripping spain to a separatist sentiment in germany verio joined the chorus of european regions pushing for independence saying that it is done with bailing the rest of the country out of financial misery coming up ahead. and when the case of the state versus sergei magnitsky is called in a moscow courtroom the defendant will not be on the dock he has been dead for more than three years sergei magnitsky was arrested five years ago on tax fraud charges and died a year later and custody his death has led to the us introducing travel sanctions against a russian officials a move which calls a scandal between moscow and washington are. was at today's pretrial hearing and filed this report well the prosecution has justified his decision to resume the

case against magnitsky which was stopped in two thousand and nine after his death even despite that the man in question has been dead for more than three years because the case has been so much controversial and the reason needs to find out where the move needs to have anything to do with the alleged embezzlement and tax evasion something he was accused of back in two thousand and eight. of the deceased man said that they would not participate in the struggle believing that this trial is a violation of human rights but the prosecution insists that this is not a violation of the law despite that the man is dead they still want to find out whether those accusations against him had any substance behind them i'd like to remind our viewers that he was arrested in two thousand and eight accused of helping his supervisor william browder to evade taxes of more than one hundred million dollars later in two thousand and nine he died in custody allegedly because of mistreatment it's also worth mentioning that it was not the original magnitsky

case which sparked lots of controversy it was the fact of his death in detention which. sparked huge spats between washington and moscow with the u.s. congress passing the so-called magnitsky act which imposed a string of sanctions on the russian officials travel sanctions travel bans in particular those officials who are the u.s. believes to be associated with the death of sergei magnitsky the russians they do responded with sanctions on us human rights violations as it was described of their own including off on the door of the russian children by u.s. citizens meanwhile the prime minister of russia has been saying on many occasions that this case the initial case of sergei magnitsky has nothing to do with politics it's a purely criminal economic case which has to be brought to the end. it looks like bavaria has joined catalonia and scotland and pushing towards separatism many politicians there believe that germany is the largest state

circles. depict when i look at the map of europe and of history i see that boundaries are not made to last forever if they can be moved by free people czechoslovakia made with peaceful transition into two democratic states in two thousand and fourteen scotland will have a referendum as there is work being done in catalonia this movement is happening in europe today. the very a is booming when it comes to business it's home to some of the most recognizable and expensive brands in the world b.m.w. audi. and siemens of their base of operations here while munich is one of the world's major economic centers all contributing to an annual income of almost half a trillion euro a major factor which sticks in the craw of the variance is how about well these do . tributed throughout the federal states this sick of paying for poor berlin it hands over around three billion euros
