violence for nearly a week ahead of a second verdict for those involved in last year's football wired's. life off to a child that the body of venezuela's longtime leader is said to be embalmed and put on public display with many wondering about washington's plans for the oil rich nation amid its political uncertainty. and. russian scientists have discovered a new identified by syria and on tactical someplace a lake vostok which could allow them to shed light on life forms of from different planets. wherever you're watching or from around the world this is our live well from the russian capital it's good to have your company with us fierce clashes into the

sixth day in the egyptian city of port site over a group of men charged for multiple deaths in a massacre at a football match last yeah protesters have hurled cern's and petrol bombs and police are demanding the release of the detainees the army has been called in but has so far been unable to put an end to the violence in which seven people have been killed archies correspondent to lines up the latest for us. the caches continued through the night here in front of the security headquarters in the rest of city of. we had reports that a thirty three year old protested died from his injuries after receiving a gunshot wound to his head yesterday as the violence escalated between anti-government protesters and security forces this comes ahead of a very contentious verdict in the poor saeed football stadium massacre which happened in february last year the remaining defendants are facing trial many people predict that the verdict will not be a good one for the people of poor saeed's sparking further clashes in the first

round twenty one people were sentenced to death which sparked weeks songs clashes in this particular instance of street battles started when the remaining defendants were moved from medication in the prison families were very upset by this and hence the clashes began at the moment the scene is calm however speaking to activists late last night they said they expect to have the funeral of the young man who died yesterday off the press today which will of course possibly see further battles protesters as the day goes on last night's protesters threw molotov the police who responded with large amounts of tear gas birdshot pellets we have no confirmation on live ammunition however that has reportedly been used in the last few days with this verdict on the horizon we expect the clashes just to escalate the situation deteriorates here in full sight. all right stay with us for all the latest from the

troubled city and you can also follow our correspondent beltran on twitter. so we've kudo's any gyptian american journalist from democracy now says that the judges in the football disaster case approving pool referees and up playing political games. many people expect that whatever the verdict comes down that some party will be angry either people in portrayed or people in cairo or both if the security officials are seen as getting off with a very light sentence or if they're already getting innocent then i think both sides will be very angry and see and this lingering sense of injustice that is hanging over egypt for the past two years will really ignite the streets of port side and cairo but really right thing what goes to the heart of it is that there hasn't been much more any plans for the former the state bureaucracy or no citizens of the state are dealt with the drugs and the women just switched who is at the top

from bottom to mohamed morsi and many people are now protesting against the brotherhood of mohamed morsi saying that instead of trying to really reform statisticians trying to assert control over its power centers. the body often as well as late president in good tavis will be embalmed and put on public display after a funeral processions on friday his body is lying in state at a military academy in caracas with huge crowds lining up to pay their respects using fallon the produce of a largely is roughly video agency is at the. i'm standing near the military academy where the late president hugo chavez's body is on display in a half open casket and literally hundreds of thousands of people with him to new hour of the hour to stream aims to pay their last respects shows now the media here

is obviously very somber but as you can hear also people here celebrate a man who they say not only gave them a voice but also gave them the opportunity to participate in a society which prior to chavez coming to power in one thousand nine hundred nine was one of the most unequal in the world in terms of the divide between rich and poor and the people here today are very much from the poorest parts of venezuela the poorest parts of the cities known as the barrios and also from the countryside and today they say they're very much united in their collective determination to continue their socialist project their nose bolivarian ism which chavez initiated which they say not only transformed our lives but also changed many parts of the world and the people here say that chavez is very much an immortal kind of figure who will continue to shape venezuela for generations lizzie feelin artsy. more than thirty heads of state from all over the world are expected to attend to all of us a state funeral procession among those who have already paid to be bloody mute

button who said this has become a legend briefly across latin america. to. chavez was a brave and very sorry man who is able to showcase strong character to go through with his plans he genuinely wants to rid the country's poor citizens of that point and improve their lives but it has became the symbol of independence throughout latin america while he was still alive he's joined the legendary ranks of simon bolivar fidel castro and shakers are. so java's will become the fourteenth the world leader to be embalmed when his body is left for all the world to see at the museum of revolution which is still under construction part is the reason now it looks back at the tradition of making late prominent leaders a lost in symbol. many controversal figures live on after their deaths through legacy but for a handful that's not enough for those they leave behind lines still form on red

square here in moscow at lennon's mons lay him where the former soviet leader has lived in bomb since the twenty's there are still movements and debates today pushing for the tomb to be dismantled and lenin laid to rest stalin was also involved and actually laid next to london for eight years but the communist party congress decided to remove his body and bury him outside the kremlin walls there's a clear communist trend here china's mao zedong is still on display in tiananmen square though he did sign a proposal that calls for all leaders to be cremated ten years before his own death he was embalmed though in one nine hundred seventy six min is on display in hanoi vietnam despite his wish to be cremated as well but latin america has had only one major figure involved and she is. there's quite a story surrounding her remains the argentinean first lady's body was meant to go on display much like a lenin when her husband was overthrown in a military coup in one nine hundred fifty five and fled the country prone to body

disappeared well in one nine hundred seventy one it was revealed that the remains were in fact in milan in a crypt under a different name if it is a body it was or soon to him flown to spain where her husband and his third wife kept the remains for a while apparently they kept the corpse in fact in the dining room on a platform and then when one prone came out of exile and returned to argentina he became president for a third time and evade it was finally returned and buried after his death in one thousand nine hundred seventy four in buenos aires twenty two years in total from death to her final resting place. but as well as a full on into political uncertainty after the pulsing of its legal fourteen yes and with many in washington expressing do you know the less is dead many wonder if the u.s. will jump at the chance to gain influence in the region artie's gammage again takes a look. communities of people throughout latin america are mourning the death of

the venezuelan leader enjoyed tremendous popular support in his country as well as the whole region he won four presidential elections and had ruled venezuela for fourteen years so you don't see this liberation process not only on the venezuelan people but also of all the latin american peoples must continue. chavis allowed us to restore faith in latin america region so that a profound transformation in the region can be carried out those will be only guardian of the empire will no doubt be happy and celebrating the new empire is the word a host of south american leaders and used to refer to the united states in washington president obama extended his sympathy to the chavez family and carol that quote a new chapter in the history of latin america but the u.s. congress was not as restrained in their reaction to the death of the venezuelan leader the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee had this to say his death then. a u.s.

leftist leaders in south america good riddance to this dictator in the media a slew of hundreds embarked on a search for new opportunities that might now be available for the u.s. in venezuela. so what does this mean now for the united states and all that oil in that country venezuela is a place of enormous opportunity it has by surveys perhaps the largest reserves of oil in the world from the u.s. point of view this has enormous potential implications because a venezuela that moves away from chavez is foreign policy means a venezuela that's less welcoming to iran less friendly to russia less friendly to castro's cuba less friendly to leftwing regimes around the hemisphere which is financed in their campaigns and and other aspects but before america jumps at the chance to explore those new opportunities it might be useful to look back at what washington's previous efforts led to. what the u.s. now calls leftist populist governments in latin america came to power partly in

reaction to decades of the us recklessly meddling in the affairs of the region for years washington had seen many of those countries as its outposts after chavez was elected in one thousand nine hundred nine a host of other leaders in latin america followed his example to varying extents including but not limited to ever morales in bolivia rafael correa in ecuador and daniel ortega in nicaragua charges may not have been as hardened in his views against washington if not for allegations of the tacit support of the bush administration in the coup against him in two thousand and two he met with bill clinton a couple times and they got along just fine it was really only with george bush then when things really were turned sour and especially after the coup attempt within forty eight hours of the start of the cooled with the help of the military and vast popular support chavis returned to power by during their short period when

he was deposed some in the u.s. hurried to celebrate the new york times for example ran this article venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by would be dictator caracas now provides fifteen percent of american oil imports and with signs of policies could provide more years after the clean channel said expressed his anger at the bush administration in a variety of fiery metaphors i did a tour of the the devil came here yesterday. and it still smells of sulfur here george w. bush has long left office but suspicion and mistrust remain some argue if during these challenging times black america washington continues to deal with the region using the same old tactics the hostility could be put in washington i'm kind of shaken. so they come here on our team. what's head in the underneath the ice off antarctica we report in the breaks you find all russian scientists raising hope of

discovering live on mars or other planets. also ahead sobering thoughts on the attacks campaigners in the u.k. are calling for an end to the constant rises one of the putting the futures of hundreds of jobs at risk on that is coming up after this break. did any of you see darth vader is storm troopers trying to make their way into the ukrainian justice ministry as part of a protest well probably a lot of you saw this fun viral video but how many people remember what exactly they wanted and what their protest demands were all about probably not that many trust me i understand that using wacky protest tactics gets media attention and if you are pushing a cause the media attention is critical but when no one even gets what you want or

why you're in that wacky costume it doesn't help there seems to be like almost a protest a culture and language like you see people protesting they're so satisfied with themselves in their costumes and silly gimmicks but if your protest is actually aimed at people in power then how is it going to cure cost of goods with the opinion of heartless bureaucrats sitting in some soulless office again media attention is great but if you want to be taken seriously we're a rainbow wig and thawing while fighting for your rights doesn't seem to send the right message but that's just my opinion. welcome back you're watching r t international officials are still negotiating the release of twenty one un peacekeepers abducted by syrian rebels in the golan heights reports that. yes of the observers could be freed within several hours but

n.t.r. said fighters are apparently sticking to their demands for government troops to withdraw from the area first several peacekeepers said in videos posted online that they were safe even as activists imported fashions and shelling near the israeli border the rebel group has backtracked on earlier. peacekeepers hostage as human shields. turns involved in the kidnapping are suspected of committing war crimes by human rights groups. marking the first time since u.n. troops began patrolling. in the golan heights nearly forty years ago meanwhile idiot peacekeepers have left their post on the syrian side of a go on hard right from the view where. the russian foreign minister says are the leaders of the syrian opposition are finally showing signs of moving towards dialogue with damascus or without preconditions speaking to the b.b.c. gay lover of regenerator that moscow is committed to

a diplomatic solution to the two year conflict but this is not for us to decide who should lead syria it is for the syrians to decide and i'm glad that the latest discussions the latest gestures from the opposition and statements from some of those who support that position. that they will be prepared to start negotiations. without asking for president assad to step down and they believe unless they sit down and they could discuss i'm sure the future of syria including who is going to lead syria and unless they sit down and start talking we would not know whether this. could be materialised. israeli forces appear to have found a way to gag the press tear gas we reported dot com on how a group of international reporters including in camera man with his first while

covering a peaceful protest in the west bank. also on long day for you this is what happened to a fifty nine year old cancer stricken man after he spent two years in solitary confinement in the american prison even without a trial to archie dot com to learn how he managed to become a millionaire. russian scientist so maybe on the way to discovering a new form of life cautious predictions come after they found unidentified bacteria in the waters of antarctica lake vostok artie's marias the national has more on the intriguing study. more than three and a half billion years after life first appeared on earth nature is still springing surprises on those who have spent their lives studying it on thursday russian researchers say they've discovered d.n.a. traces of previously unknown bacteria in the waters of the subglacial lake or stalk the bacteria they think they found does not belong to any existent class it's one

of the only living things on earth that's managed to survive in such harsh conditions law temperatures no light enormous pressure and a high concentration of oxygen with little nutrients talk is a unique and isolated body of water which sits beneath almost four kilometers of ice and is the largest of on toxic us nearly four hundred known subglacial lakes it's named after russia's only station on the frozen continent in february two thousand and twelve russian researchers became the first in the world to reach the lake after more than two decades of drilling through ice they finally managed to read up forty liters of water that had remained untouched for more than twenty million years to avoid contaminating the lake special technology was developed in st petersburg which meant the drill automatically as soon as it struck water the discovery of russian scientists could provide an incredible insight into our planet's past. there's exploring antarctica have to brave some of the most severe

and inhospitable conditions on earth r.t. son thomas told me what it's like having reported. in the icy continent. if you go back to the original research they were working on climate change in fact they were going back through layers of the glacier and trying to get core samples to find out what was happening in the earth way back millions of years ago and kind of isolate different temperature changes in the earth for global warming and what have you but then they discovered that the ice itself changed in it was not glacier ice anymore that they were coming in front of but actually smooth lake ice which means hey there's water there's a lake down there and then they said wait if there's water then possibly there's a chance for life that has not seen the light of day in millions and millions of years which is what drove them to go forward with this i mean it when you think about scientists say you always think like a man in a white suit and that bell in a tree or something like that but i mean you know in the harsh conditions it must have taken

a lot of time not only for you being there but also for the scientists to get used to these house because this is how do they do how do you deal with will certainly it takes two weeks to a climatized actually to lagos of itself now i did not go to the actual station so like i didn't go through that process but it's severe stream but the work that you do is very important to finding this new bacteria even though we're still trying to find out exactly what it is it can give us a look into where we came from how we've evolved it can take us into the future in fact it can give scientists an idea of how bacteria might survive on other planets like mars for example in extreme conditions people are fascinated by both what the scientists are going to find but also in life how do you get into tain yourself i mean you know so away from everything that is so used to what do you do certainly well. station it's. in a very unique location it's kind of the doorway to the rest of the continent so there's a chinese base a chilean base the russian base the americans the brits everybody and they're all there. everybody works with each other to make sure that they all survive because

you don't have the formalities of international treaties you're all working there under cooperation so it's. there was one time where we actually had to go and we had to get going and food so that our bodies could survive but they needed russian oil so that they could survive so working together to make it all happen. more news from around the world are starting with the u.s. aware all some of the loving son in law and tradesman has been arrested and is said to be trying by a federal court for his role in plotting the nine eleven attacks so women are going resurface in the usa today after being detained in jordan on his way to kuwait american officials are unwilling to release details as to the circumstances of his capture the decision to try the osama family member in a federal court rather than to send him to kuantan amol has also raised many eyebrows. flames have been gulzar of the syrian refugee camp in jordan strong winds are stirred to the fire which are broke out earlier today
