after a state funeral procession wrapped up in caracas his death has left many wondering about washington's plans for the all rich nation i mean it's political uncertainty . the egyptian army is struggling to end. which has been engulfed in volunteer for nearly a week ahead of a second verdict for those involved in last year's football rides. and a cool find russian scientists discover new unidentified bacteria in antarctica glacial lake which could allow them to shed large life forms from different planets on top stories. around the world on screen online international news and comment line from the new center here in moscow this is. the people of venezuela will be left for the

permanent reminder of their late leader his body it's been announced will be a. public display that's after world leaders pay their respects at a state funeral ceremony from video agency. i'm standing near the military academy where the late president hugo chavez's body is on display at a half open cost and literally hundreds of thousands of people with him and he knew our offer to how it's a stream to pay their last respects shows now the meeting here is obviously very some of it as you can hear also people here celebrate the 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 those socialist project their nose bolivarian ism which chavez initiated which they say not only transformed allies but also changed many because of the wilds and the people here say that chavez is very much an immortal kind of figure who will continue to shape venezuela for generations lizzi feelin. so chavez will become the fourteenth world leader to be involved when his body is left for all the world to see the museum of revolution which is still under construction what he's in he's now he looks back at the tradition of making late prominent leaders the last thing simple. 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 months of lay em 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 mounted dong 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 body disappear 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 exude and 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 peron 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 russia has always been among but his word is key international allies that mean putin has paid tribute to the late president saying chavez has become a legendary figure across latin america. on chavez was a brave and very thorough man who was able to showcase strong character to go through with his plans he genuinely wanted to rid the country's poor citizens of their plight and improve their lives became the symbol of independence throughout latin america while he was still alive he joined the legendary ranks of simon

bolivar fidel castro and shaker vajra the passing of chavez as left venezuela facing political uncertainty associate professor of sociology at queens college fernandez has written extensively about the late leader i spoke to a little earlier and she says that venezuela is most likely right as well as most likely next president maduro has an uphill battle to win over the people's confidence domestically while trying to stave off western attempts to gain influence. i think that mother will have a very difficult task ahead of him and yes there is things that will need to be figured out with the economy yes there is a growing crime rate that he will also have to have to make people feel secure especially with the loss of a president who many saw as a sort of will fatherly protective figure with the loss of that figure and the vacuum that exists in the country right now i think that my girl has a very big task ahead of him to make people feel safe and to make them feel like he

is going to be in control of the economy he's going to be in control of problems like crime and that he's going to be able to continue the social welfare mission programs that was started on the child is definitely one of the things the u.s. tried to promote free trade agreements across the region and met with a huge obstacle in the figure of president chavez now that chavez is off the scene will that have more success with that my sense is no because i think that there still exists within the population within the people among social movements are very strong opposition to that kind of policy but i think that the u.s. to see a possible opening and may put more resources or more attention to trying to to work with leaders and to put forth its agenda. talking to us from washington to express jubilation over the leader's death leaving. but the challenge is to gain influence in the region he's got to takes in the. 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 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 the only garcon of the empire will no doubt be happy and celebrating the news empire is the word a host of south american leaders and use to refer to the united states in washington president obama extended his sympathy to the chavez family and herald it 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 the laws of the us leftist leaders in south america good riddance to

this dictator in the media a slew of pundits 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 i. 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 have to 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 then you know a lot in nicaragua chavez 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 there 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 cool with the help of the military and vast popular support chavis returned to power. but during that short period when he was deposed some in the us hurried to celebrate the new york times for example ran

this article venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by would be dictator caracas name provides fifteen percent of american oil imports and with signs of policies could provide more for years after the coup chavez said expressed his anger at the bush administration in a variety of fiery metaphors yet it is the other 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 for latin america washington continues to deal with the region using the same old tactics the hostility could be playing in washington i'm kind of shaken.

first clashes event of the six day in port saïd with the army taking control over the egyptian city protesters have been demanding the release of detainees held over multiple deaths at a football run last year meanwhile reports say the chief of the country's rod police has been sacked following a week of violence which has claimed at least seven lives ortiz correspondent bill true has the latest from the conflict to plague the city. well today has definitely been a day of mourning and reflection here in this restive city of port sides and the clashes raged on through the nights but finished after the dramatic withdrawal of the police force earlier this morning the army came down and secured the secure security directorate behind me putting up the tanks and lining around the building this was put met positively by protesters and people outside the building who largely see police brutality as a crux of the issue i saw people today even hugging army offices posing for

pictures with one little boy put on an army cap as they said they'd come here the military come here to protect the people from the police this is of course after five days of fierce street battles between anti-government protesters and the police over this contentious verdict which is due to take place tomorrow however it has not been joyful here today and as i said has been a lot of mornings people reflect over the violence of the last five days the area surrounding the security directorate is strewn with take us kind of says bullets casings and rocks and indication of the level of the bloody violence that has taken place here two funerals were also conducted earlier on this afternoon with people weeping as they went towards the cemetery chanting against the president's one group of people called for the execution of the president however there has been some fear is that with a military takeover it will not be calm to very long speaking to key activists here

they say the track record of the military when they were in power during the transitional period after the hosni mubarak steps down was not a good one there were many human rights violations and so many protesters killed they say if the verdict doesn't go the way of the residents tomorrow they will see clashes between the army and the people and in this instance one activist said to me earlier this afternoon this could see even. higher levels of violence however people tonight as i said mourning dead dead and preparing for tomorrow which will see that the remaining defendants try to in this book who must get their cut last february we will have to see overnight say whether anything develops and people's reactions tomorrow to this verdict. less than the days left until the next round of those verdicts is set to be passed but could a seasoned egyptian american journalist from democracy now believe whatever the outcome it will make little difference to the unrest many people expect that

whatever the verdict comes down that some party will be angry either people import sader people in cairo or both if the security officials are seen as getting off with a very light sentence or getting innocent. i think both sides will be very angry and see this lingering sense of injustice that is hanging over egypt for the past two years when really a good night on the streets of port side i'm cairo but really i think what goes to the heart of it is that there hasn't been much of any plans for a form of the state bureaucracy on how citizens of the state are dealt with. that this is really just switched who is at the top from bottom to mohamed morsi and many people are now protesting against the brotherhood on how morsi saying that instead of trying to really reform citizens' visions of trying to assert control over its more recent times.

still to come here and on t.v. what is hidden under the ice of antarctica reporting the breakthrough find of russian scientists raising hope of discovering life on laws on the planets shortly after this break. did any of you see darth vader as 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 just did that using wacky protest tactics gets media attention and if you are pushing a cause that 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 there 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 wearing a rainbow wig and thawing while fighting for your rights doesn't seem to send the right message but that's just my opinion. news continues here in r.t. international officials are still negotiating the release of twenty one un peacekeepers abducted line syrian rebels in the golan heights but the report suggested the observers could be free within several hours but 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 reported clashes and shellings near the is. really border rebel group has backtracked on earlier claims it took the peacekeepers hostage as human shields and militants involved in the kidnapping are suspected of committing war crimes by human rights groups adoption mark the first time since u.n. troops began patrolling an israeli syrian almost just nine in the golan heights nearly forty years ago. peacekeepers have left their post on the syrian side of the gun and heights on the advice of the un. and the russian foreign minister says that the leaders of the syrian opposition of finally showing signs of moving towards with damascus without preconditions speaking to be traded 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 with the gestures from the opposition. statements from some of those

who support their position. the baby will be prepared to start negotiations with some negotiating team without asking for president the bone and they believe unless they sit down and they could and would 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 nor were the chance would be materialized. and danny makki activist and co-founder of the syrian youth in britain has told me that while russia and the u.k. may share a common goal to end violence in the country they have very different reasons for wanting it. clearly supports a political solution in syria they reject changing the regime by force or a western administered formula of regime change which happened in libya so it's very important he'd see that the syrian opposition leaders need to really negotiate with the syrian government in order to find a political solution to the ongoing crisis in syria where you have william hague

who stated that there is a great threat of terrorism threat of jihad is coming back from syria having an ideology of killing which is going back to britain there is britain british jihadist the first british jihad he was killed two days ago so there are the real threat from islamic terrorism coming from syria and he says that we must stop syria from becoming a bad or a kind of hog of terrorism at the same time he claims he wants to arm the syrian opposition he was to give them non-lethal aid so it's a policy of hypocrisy which is filled with a lack of understanding of what is happening within the arab world and within syria so some of the western countries through the funding and arming the rebels and opposition fighters have essentially blocked any political solution which could happen in the future as they have essentially allied themselves with the armed opposition and they're seeking regime change in a non direct inadvertent way as opposed to a direct libya style intervention. russian scientists may be on the way to discovering a new form of life the cautious predictions come after they found unidentified

bacteria in the waters of antarctica's subglacial lake vostok of these more of an ocean has more on the interesting study. more than three and a half billion years after life first appeared on earth and nature is still spinning surprises on those who have spent their lives studying it on thursday russian researches say they've discovered d.n.a. traces of previously unknown bacteria in the waters of the subglacial a cross-talk 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 antarctica is 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 people of drill automatically we drew as soon as it struck water the discovery of russian scientists could provide an incredible insight into our planet's past those exploring antarctica have to brave some of the most severe and inhospitable conditions on earth and earlier taught to sean thomas he knows exactly what it's like having reported for research in the continent. this all started back in the one nine hundred seventy s. as a project to research global warming what they were doing was they were drilling through the glacier to take core samples and go back layer by layer to find out small changes in the earth's atmosphere during years going back millions and millions of years then as they were drilling they found a way the ice is changed this is no longer glacial ice this is frozen water this is

lake ice so they've discovered. the everyone else said ok we've done our job russians are like wait what's down there and so they were the ones who continued to drill this bacteria that they found living in such extreme circumstances in extreme cold glacial ice it can give us a look back into our past as to maybe possibly where we even came from because it's so many million years old and also looking to the future possibly to mars and how life can thrive in such extremes are going to get a lot of this really is relevant to well says yes sometimes i just think this is yeah just get excited about exactly this is the most extreme part of the planet in fact itself is considered the cold pole if you will in fact the coldest temperature ever recorded is minus eighty nine degrees centigrade that was back in one thousand nine hundred three in fact victim a high limit who is the chief of the station where i was working he was actually on the expedition that brought equipment to the base in that specific year and was there for that recorded temperature so these people are working in credibly extreme

temperatures incredibly extreme situations just to get the science done how cold it is when you get up in the morning you have to go out and work and it's just. i was there in the summer and it was still incredibly freezing to get out there you know you wake up in the morning it really is like being on a different planet if you've seen star wars it's like being on hoffa the ice planet because very limited no vegetation only aquatic life it is so different so extreme from anything else that you'll see anywhere else on earth and then animals that are not afraid of you very interesting just completely surreal to be a part of that. israeli forces appear to have found a way to get the press to a gas reporter. group of international reporters including a cameraman were dispersed while covering a peaceful protest in the west bank. this is what happened to a fifty nine year old cancer stricken man after he spent two years in solitary

confinement in an american prison even without a trial. how he managed to become a. great british pint is struggling to survive in danger of running dry due to rising taxes the beer is going up by two percent above inflation every year forcing brits to pay up to ten times more than some europeans do campaigners say freezing the tax would save jobs and help preserve. found out about fears among many parts of the very permanent last orders might be called. something is brewing in britain within the budget around the corner beer is set to rise again a third of the cost of a pint already goes to the tax man campaigners have said enough is enough and are calling for a freeze for hanging around ten times as much as drinkers and drama so we

just be right to hold our. hold on the book nor increase. the cost for pubs or time old tradition in person but fully understand their appeal we have to go three hundred miles from london here to hesketh new market a village in the heart of england's countryside and steeped in history ten years ago when the only problem is but it was put up for sale the people who lifted a rather than risk seeing it fall into the hands of a big chain and if you need character decided to do something a little bit different take matters into their own hands. together and pull the pub turning it into a co-operative believed to be the first of its kind in the u.k. the pub wasn't about money but it does turn a profit but even here the big d.t. hikes are felt every time.

it's another. round the corner and the microbrewery that supplies the pub is also a co-operative that is doing well in the u.k. smaller brews pay half the taxes the major companies there's good new markets being lucky a mixture of good business sense and strong community spirit has been the brewery and the pub have avoided the slide caused by the big g.t. escalator across the u.k. they and many others haven't been say lucky while big businesses can afford to pick up the tab it's small. independent pubs that suffered in the last four years nearly six thousand pups of closed is holding in tens of thousands of job losses i mean very little section is the only woman to sleep doing well at the moment for the city going against the trend not falling sales will go gradually on here increases as we can realize i guess many times the prices the service will tend to be

a proper focus. for all of their school think string serving sophistry a log in a certain individual basis in an environment way from whichever somebody who works or lives. and beyond profits it's the risk of losing a partition stitch this pretty things that just say bring flukes pricing so for this work is a community it brings people together because. it's more of a difference between social networking and meeting something real life there is no substitute for this kind of career outside the old crowd might be unique in britain these days harking back to a time of community that many of us have now gotten but it's a reminder to be a voice some traditions a best preserved sarah aleksey has kidney market in cumbria. that's it for me and the new news team for the moment we'll be back with more for you in just over thirty minutes from now after

a short break peter lavelle and his guests debate the legacy of the late venezuelan leader that is in crosstalk stay with us for that if you can't. watch. these children. they're serving a sentence just like their mother. the little ones born in prison. now most of the crimes

committed by their parents. killed babies on our teeth.
