penalties and handed down war sentences for those involved in a deadly fall all right while the date of emergency has been declared and the night over intelligence reports that a terror attack might take place. hugo chavez's hand-picked successor nicolas maduro is sworn in as interim president following the funeral ceremony of the late venezuelan leader. and afghanistan visit is marred by a series of taliban suicide attacks amid claims one of them was a direct message to the u.s. defense secretary. to. act. and i welcome you watching r.t. live from moscow now egypt is erupting in chaos after a court upheld death sentences for twenty one people involved in last year's deadly

football riots five more defendants received life sentences for their role in the stadium violence which claimed over seventy lives portside has already seen a week of clashes leading up to the verdict let's get more now from our correspondent bell true bell given that controversial court decision what is the latest where you are import site. the scenes are very tense here in port side after this damning verdict that people say at the moment thousands gathered at the government headquarters and marched towards the can now the serious and it beat to stop traffic as a form of protest the canal is obviously extremely important to egypt this is a major sign to the president that they are not happy the chance in the streets are against president obama at most sees administration saying they have been abandoned by the country and that's actually in fact it's almost racism that porn site is being targeted when the verdict was announced people held their heads in their

hands screaming at the t.v. screens when they had these friends would be sentenced to death saying that it wasn't that cairo was being treated in a way that was better than ports and ports i.e. it was basically being forgotten meanwhile in the capital there has been a fair amount of violence as well the football federation building has been torched . the culture is the fans in cairo for their part are also unhappy with the verdict saying that it wasn't strong enough meanwhile we've now just got reports from sinai that egypt is possibly putting in place. status there because of the movement of jihadists so what we're seeing really is a country in turmoil very much on the brink of the violence here in port saeed no sign of it stopping in the future. ok bill thank you we'll leave it there that's true with the latest from paul. well for more on this story let's talk two sides

a day who is a professor of political sociology at the american university in cairo thank you for joining us know some defendants receive the death penalty others including a police chief receive sentences of varying lengths on the surface it does appear it was abundance court decision so why the cry. well you know what a recluse will always have after talks a lot of good. natured. we have seen some of these and the officer who was in. the people and since he must be. government since he was killed in a car accident and then got cold not schooled that it was the culture not the acts as a need to clean it similarly we have this huge massacre also with and i think in most i need a lot of work but why this happens some are beginning to do it nigga just by the

police to quell the fans some are claiming it was a conspiracy many of the secure you operate officers were actually serving in the act with that and only thought will certainly do good in the neck of the city if you will i just. was starting we were going to move to one who was out with ak incident happened and saw the still go this is not. sponsored by the security professionals and sprawled out on the screen again and again as you know the bulk of us and i think that the good will only go on with it and they are making a lot of fuss because the back of them where coming into the capital of the food when you have been point five million years it will go off in the hands of the suspect jumped on horse this is a city of six hundred fifty thousand people so all of the people in foresight feel

that there was this balancing act by the viciousness and that it was you know wanted to sit back up again and the regime from any it's not but it might not i'll close the blame on all such ideas and so we have all of this conspiracy theories and good clean. almost and that's why you have tension. but it has been this quickly. because being let go and the work the feeling of injustice and grievances that i'm not the greatest and so almost god like it's very well this is it out yet certainly we understand your point there big can you tell us i mean it is still open to appeal this verdict do you think they that these verdicts could be overturned. all of the costs as you know capital within egypt by talk. about a medically appealed again and this is what happened by the post but again that would make that. their case fall for

a long period of time and might it feel justice is not done and just this also has not been done since the election of the evolution many protesters were killed and no police officer was convicted was all. you know where you don't get away with it and took the result of feeling that the terms of the cells not been carried out in egypt and that's why the suspicion so what can the muslim brotherhood led government saying now we hear there is there is a lot of unrest in the country what can i do to find a pay situation. and the best thing for them is for us to stick to the objectives of the local mission and to in water for as many political forces he can because if he succeeds in front of many political posts and public opinion is that the all clear all we can about those who should is that example fall out and will be polite to rethink as we are replacing a police intelligence to it was a great experience and back of course anything really forces quite

a lot of. us in the muslim brotherhood who do not accept some of the backgrounds and also cannot speak one on the rest of the country again who is the only way to put this. in power today is that he has. have a national appeal to everybody he has to get rid of his membership of the muslim brotherhood for being too close to the was the buzzer goes and looks like you know the person of all ships is not a president of one organization when this happened you will have. the most of the people of course on the run but then like the situation today i hope the sentient can continue on what i'm most i can say that thank you very much for your thoughts that is cited sadat professor of political psychology at the american university in cairo. lead. has

been sworn in as venezuela's acting president following the emotional funeral of late leader hugo chavez duro had been chavez's vice president and was designated personally as his successor but a symbolic swearing in ceremony in front of the late leader's coffin he pledged loyalty to chavez promising to enforce his words and orders leaders from around the globe and thousands of foreigners were gathered to mourn chavez on friday he died from a massive heart attack on tuesday following a two year battle with cancer his body will be embalmed only displayed the museum of the revolution they feel and for marty's video agency ruptly witnessed traverses funeral ceremonies. his body will remain in state for an extended seven days because of the sheer amount of people people from the barrios the poorest neighborhoods in the cities in the countryside and across the country who want to see him for the very last time fifty five heads of state from around the world are

attending the ceremony of the funeral of chavez cuban leader raul castro showed up last night the brazilian neither do my rousseff is here the former brazilian president you like this so there's a russian delegation and also the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad is here he has said that to various is a martyr who lost his life serving the venezuelan people and preserving human and revolutionary values now of course chavez and as my dinner judge were very close allies and really their relationship was an example of how to have as you use the power of this country which is largely based on its very large oil reserves to extend solidarity to countries that are targets of saber rattling economic interventions and threats of military aggression by the united states and the western powers now there's also very much a sense of anger amongst many people here at suggestions by some senior western political figures and media figures that somehow chavez's death is the cause to celebrate that somehow it's

a good thing for the venezuelan people. and for the wilds of course the grief very much continues amongst the people here in caracas who had come to see him elections are held in approximately thirty days time now of course the outcome of that election is very much unknown but at least amongst the people here they're very much determined that maduro must replace chavez with one of the most popular chunks here being with chavez the people are say look the feeling for r.t. got back us well the leader of venezuela is opposition on reeky completely as is accusing the do it oh who will run for the presidency as candidate of chavez's socialist party politicizing the funeral mass an american expert steve ellis says though despite the harsh words the opposition is not likely to win the people's trust. the opposition and understands that it will not we know lecture is just on the base of the middle class the opposition has made it difficult to appeal to

where people and the campaign for the presidential elections in october last year the opposition candidate. in the company. went to the bottle you spoke to the poor people and that was the main thrust of his campaign there is a great amount of distrust among the poor people. copy of no matter what the people he said it's pretty much that the social programs that were so popular they were so politically successful. will be abandoned if the opposition return returned to power the key to all this is that what do we not have any trouble with in the upcoming presidential elections is closely associated with charles you know when she was left venezuela to go to cuba he called venezuelans and his people who are particular to vote for but who are disappointed are in to elect him

president if the situation came to that u.n. officials say they're ready to pick up twenty one pace cape is captured by militants in the golan heights despite a tentative cease fire intended to help rescue effort sporadic fighting between syrian troops and the rebels has broken out in the area where the u.n. troops being held and u.n. officials says they enact taking precautions to make sure that no more of this stuff caught in the conflicts. the united nations has been in contact with the syrian authorities to secure the release of the peacekeepers arrangements were made with all the authorities involved for their release and. team was dispatched to their location but they felt that it was not secure enough and so they were not able to reach it but efforts will be made again to do that but the fighting in syria our peacekeepers are caught in the crossfire very concerned for them and we are doing everything we can to make sure that they are able to continue

working and conducting their mandate in a peaceful manner we removed some of the peacekeepers from a post eight of them out of eighty eight in the area of separation into another area just to make sure that they could be secure. well and here sad faces initially set their demands for government troops withdraw from the area as a precondition for the release of the hostages the rebel group holding peacekeepers has backtracked on earlier claims that use them as human shields the change of rhetoric came after the show for rebel command stepped in syrian journalist mohamad believes radical factions will drag syria into chaos if western states help force regime change. we need more countries would like us to believe their goals this opening of the syrian people will actually know. because it will be the start of more horrible chapter crisis and this is something that we need to understand the

syrian people already understand the working on the ground in the order they can control their actions which is a very alarming sign but there is a really important thing here of more of the opposition coalition and other things on the border and democracy in syria he comes on here and lies to the public just seem to think that. this is not like if nothing were just. hours before his. post if your new york think of the kidnapped them and here's what the accuse them of supporting this is a person who is supposedly a peaceful man i want. you to see if you know people have lived in the world and in the countries would like to be the going to present to the syrian people. still ahead for you this hour divide and ride israelis he says separate lines for palestinians in the west bank sparking accusations of segregation partings hopped

on a bus to find out more. also ahead in all that we report on the collision between a russian spacecraft and chinese space junk and discuss how tiny objects may trigger they give consequences that is after the break. did any of you see darth vader and storm troopers trying to make their way into the ukrainian justice ministry as part of a protest or 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 are 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 we're a rainbow wig and thought while fighting for your rights doesn't seem to send the right message but that's just my opinion. welcome back u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel visit to afghanistan has been marred by a series of suicide attacks a taliban suicide bomber on a bicycle detonated explosives near the country's defense ministry killing at least nine people who was not in the area at the time roads around the building located near the presidential palace being closed the local taliban branch said that

a threat that the attack was intended to send a message to the u.s. defense chief while eight children and a police officer were also killed by another suicide attack in the east of the country. there appears to be a shadow of apartheid in israel palestinians commuting from the west bank and now being to board special buses they were launched by this week by the transport ministry after some jewish settlers feed their safety was at risk artie's paul islay reports now on how the roots of the racist overtones go even deeper. on the first of december one nine hundred fifty five a black woman by the name of rosa parks made history by refusing to give up her seat in the so-called colored six in of a crowded bus in montgomery alabama that incident became a formative event in the u.s. civil rights movement and again this week israelis and palestinians are remembering that incident as the transport ministry introduces segregated bus lines in other

words bus services only for kind of stimulus coming in and out of the west bank the move has created emotive reaction both for and against it both inside and outside of israel these ready transport ministry justifies it by saying that the move is an attempt to alleviate the distress of palestinian passengers having to travel for long hours in and out of israel but the truth is that behind the scenes there was a lot of noise being made by israeli settlers who refused to travel with palestinian passengers they say because they're afraid now newspaper editorials have had a field day with criticisms that israel is acting in line with apostate that this smacks of racism and it echoes of the policies back in the united states decades ago the palestinian passengers on this bus sayed leaves a bad taste in their mouths but the irony is that it cuts they travel time as they no longer have to travel through the settlements the ticket is a lot cheaper and the whole travel journey is

a lot less stressful seven age it's very hard to live with this you can call it a racist action or whatever but it makes it even more impossible for both sides to understand one another. we're supposed to be working in a civilized country but they're separate not at all i feel like israeli people look as a second class or not equal to. do with social issues i feel very bad it is not acceptable at all but in the end of the strong side decides what happens when we have to deal with this reality but the segregation here runs much deeper than just separate bus services we're talking about different legal systems for israelis and palestinians we're talking about different allocation of resources and preferential treatment to name just a few policy r.t. on the way from qalqilya. now russian satellite has been hit by chinese space junk which had been floating around since two thousand and seven there is an abundance of space debris held and even an object as small as

a sugar cube can cause a lot of damage we'll talk more about this is shown thomas shore exploring it sounds and certainly and you mentioned a sugar cube well this is a sugar cube and it doesn't seem like it's very much but if it hits you at seventeen thousand miles an hour you can imagine it can do significant damage now in terms of this specific incident this is a collision between a piece of space junk from a chinese satellite which was destroyed back in two thousand and seven it collided with a small russian blitz satellite the incident actually happened on january twenty second but it took up until now to discover exactly what happened and here's why scientists discovered basically that there was a change in st jacques a change in the orbit and even the spin of the satellite and at that point they had to work backwards kind of reverse engineering to find out what happened what they decided is that at the point where they had this change there was a near miss with this piece of space junk so they decided well this is the size

that could have caused such a change in trajectory and so they've determined it was indeed a collision now space junk doesn't seem like it kind of sounds comical but really if you think about it there's more than five hundred thousand objects being tracked by nasa and other agencies in space right now and that's twenty thousand of those the size of a softball or larger if you think about that those things hitting at seventeen thousand miles an hour significant damage to satellites and lots of millions of dollars if you will because satellites are a commodity so there's a lot to be concerned about and must be very hard to track those i mean something as small as a sugar cube i mean how do you try that in outer space what are they doing to solve this problem oh yeah and that's only the stuff that can be tracked there's a countless number of things that are smaller than one centimeter that can't even be tracked i mean we've been shooting things into space for more than fifty years now. so there's this different telescopes and laser imaging systems that are in the process of tracking different objects and what happens is when they determine that

there is a near miss or there's going to be an instance where these things pass kind of close to each other then they change the trajectory of the course of the satellite they change even the international space station we've had incidents recently where human life has been at stake or they've had to hide in the these kind of escape capsules if you will of the international space station. and that costs millions of dollars each year so they're trying to improve the systems there is a big radio telescope in australia that they're using right now but they're trying to see what they can do to expand their systems because the more we send up into space the more expensive it becomes and then there's also something called the kessler syndrome. that sounds crazy from the cancer syndrome is basically the critical mass where we've spent too much stuff in a space it's created so much junk that we can't send something into space without hitting something and there are some people who believe that we've maybe already hit that critical mass so but the more stuff we put up the more expensive it becomes the more dangerous it becomes as well and the greater the chance we're going to get another story like this certainly all right sean sean thomas there

thank you very much. in the seven years since its inception twitter has become an integral part of the twenty first century life reflecting everything from people's routine habits to revolutionary political messages and for the last two years every single tweet sent in the u.s. has been stored in a massive archive at the library of congress raising concerns over privacy the official reason is for research purposes but so far the data has been cat behind closed doors and this will explain. it's part of the social media landscape that has revolutionized the way we communicate. twitter allows users to broadcast their thoughts one hundred forty characters at a time. from the very first tweet to declaring historic presidential victories to the downright dumb all of it has been stored at the library of congress what the popularity of smart phones and i pads users can tweet pretty much anywhere at any

time and the library of congress is taking note of the way people are communicating and expressing themselves along with journals and other publications social media is being stored as a part of history it began in two thousand and ten when twitter agreed to hand over to the library every tweet since the social media site launched and the tweets keep being stored with an estimated half a billion tweets per day it's a massive undertaking basically taking the body of information about cultures country and putting it into some kind of storage well we're talking about one hundred fifty. well now that the library has collected this massive archive it's not clear what they're going to do with it how do you search that how do you how do you how do you catalog that and split it into searchable pieces of code and they haven't been able to figure that out yet. the libraries blog says quote although

the library has been building and stabilizing the archive and has not yet offered researchers access we have nevertheless received approximately four hundred inquiries from researchers all over the world so far the library tells us the goal is for researchers to have access to the database not the general public and we asked are there any limits to what information the library can distribute the library tells us they've sent a few no tweets newer than six months old will be handed over to researchers and the tweets can. be used for commercial purposes and researchers can make a big chunk of tweets available for downloading on their website still questions remain if you delete a tweet does the library still store it and how easily come law enforcement obtain your tweets people are worried about privacy pretty sure the n.s.a. and homeland security has already coped through up the stuff so perhaps the take away as they think before you tweet because it's going to be stored right here at

the library of congress and washington liz wall r.t. . coming up in a few minutes mike is on the financial war path and his latest revelations are right here just off the road. well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today. max keiser welcome to the kaiser report boy it feels great to be a bit trying millionaire i'm loving it eight months ago and if you recall on the show and on the alex jones show i said that there would be a major financial catastrophe of the next line months and we've got it bit coin has

absolutely triumphed as the dollar has crashed ninety percent against a bit coy as bitcoin is set to take on the world and root out the bank's stirrers as we sorely need we sorely need it stacy. yes max we're here in new york city the skyline right behind us moving city as all the cities of the world where all the too big to fail banks are home. based because this is where the quantitative easing is flooding in the dow hit an all time high the very same day bitcoin unmanipulated free market of bitcoin hit an all time high forty six dollars and i want to turn to this had by max the target value for big coin is not some fifty dollars or one hundred dollars it is one hundred thousand two million bitcoins value is an all time high again its market cap is now twice what it was at the two thousand and eleven peak it is nowhere near its potential recall thing says it which is four orders of magnitude above today's value you know the dow jones is

in a new all time low against bitcoin and the paper millionaires in the paper billionaires are really highly suspect because they're part of a manipulated world manipulated fed policy manipulated bond markets they manipulate the price of gold and silver but all that money printing that they've done has flowed into the only non manipulated currency in the world and that is bitcoin bitcoin is the true and. lation rate paul krugman good point is the true inflation rate ben bernanke and once again i gotta tell you it feels great to be a bit coin millionaire you know it's gone up almost fourteen hundred percent in the last year and i'm loving it because there's anonymity there's power you're taking a stance against the paper pushers like jamie diamond over j.p. morgan and this is really this is the currency of the resistance. let's look over and back at the dow jones because i didn't.
