treat. and in the latest exchange the governments accused the opposition of bringing in colombian paramilitaries to use. election day a challenge that's been vehemently denying their opposition in turn claims to be the victim of a government. and i've been ridiculed by those who are also used to associate our reports on the faces of the venezuelan that actions on the chances. important elections for the venezuelan people certainly snap elections after the death of this or so about a month ago it has been a short campaign for everyone who has been involved and there are two top main contenders in these elections on the one hand you have a because my dear old he's the acting interim president of the country he was the vice president during that childlessness time and on the other hand you but you could see as i had won i guess a good and options in october two thousand and twelve and he's a rivalry with talking about bringing change to the country now there's been

a lot of name calling during this campaign period you have a model accusing us of being at the prince of the bourgeoisie not representing the poor calling him capricious some of the other hand he's accusing me of being a liar or using this as a body to run a political campaign now however they did talk to both of them tough on the issue of tackling crime in the country this is a top concern of the citizens here they want to see the quantum level addressed and brought down a small as a government bureaucracy and inefficiencies there are those who work staunchest supporters very loyal to everything that this is a story for the so-called socialist revolution big to continue this and some of them out of this loyalty vote for nicolas maduro on the other hand you have those people who have been blaming the government for a lot of the problems of the country not least of these two which is why bureaucracy and what they say is a bit of stagnation in terms of the way business is going in the country and they they say they will vote for the best so many are watching these elections both the

not least of which is the united. has had strained relations with the country during the time of about charges but for everyone else who is observing and want to know what happens next the main question they want answered really is what step is that isabella going to take in the hands of somebody other than who got this. so nicolas maduro may be the heir to chavez and it represents a continuation of his policies but he almost certainly have trouble selling his predecessors shoes that's according to international consultant adrian so good who spoke to my colleagues have been there on of you one of the main problems that nicolas maduro has that he does not have the same charisma the same popularity sort of surfing on the hugo chavez wave so to speak and that's why he's using a lot of your memory of hugo chavez the image of hugo chavez the actual ideas and this course that he gave to the people but nicolas maduro himself really has no special personal power base that he can fall back upon that's why it's really hugo

chavez who is in the election through nicolas maduro so to speak a group while you're on the list take a minute now to talk about the second candidate sure way. he wants to create a free market economy is that something venezuelans want as well well some do some don't some but israel is definitely are very tied in with the interests of the united states hugo chavez and hopefully my doodle have done a very good job for them for the region in the long term something that i'm sure mr copley was would not because he would completely aligned venezuela into united states requirements and banking global financial interests stronger ties with the u.s. if he gets in does that mean the dictate the does that mean the u.s. will dictate more to venezuela in the future that. oh absolutely they try to do it as a matter of fact they tried to do that exactly eleven years ago when on the eleventh and twelfth of april two thousand and two they staged a coup d'etat they orchestrated who they were mr completeness was one of the key

people in the coup d'etat he was only too young then but mr complete list is definitely the face of washington inside because we were. so the us wish list of political change abroad goes far beyond of an israel and washington's house to which every point on the world and the country aids political forces in exchange for loyalty if it means that your political gain. egypt's former president hosni mubarak is going to court again over the killing of protesters during the uprising in february twenty seventh has already been sentenced to life behind bars for failing to prevent the deaths however an appeals court laser overturned that ruling and ordered a retrial the original trial which began in august twenty levon was seen as a symbol of change in egypt but many supporters of the revolution were frustrated by the sentence they deemed too lenient so they were trial comes at a time when the current president mohamed morsi is facing mounting protests himself

has been accused of betraying the arab spring and only pursuing the interest of his muslim brotherhood and made the chaos sectarian clashes on the rise with coptic christians facing increased violence the believers say the police have done little to protect them as well. days after a brutal assault on egypt's main coptic cathedral activists and opposition leaders meet to discuss a response many of them like tony sabri a christian protester who was trapped inside the church say they're still in shock . because. they're attacked us from everywhere even from the street next to the gas stations by the. police called insults and so this is going to be one of the civilians bombarded us with molotov cocktails rocks rubber bullets and live ammunition and the police protected the whole market they were bishops painting the . nation was shocked on sunday and bloody scenes of egypt's security post

is firing tear gas and birdshot bullets directly at mourners gathered to mark the beach or here behind me one of them a. in churches to coptic christians president mohamed morsi promises to investigate and his alleged comments saying an attack on this cathedral was an attack on himself has done little to satisfy the coptic christian community with divisions deepening between the two religions many fear the worst has yet to come in the aftermath of the attack coptic pope to watch as the second criticize the president for failing to protect the cathedral members of the clergy present at the scene also demanded answers. because the truth has never been a time before who the people inside the cathedral we're going to the police not even attempt to intervene why didn't they arrest one single person. had been a riot egypt director of human rights watch agrees government neglect is contributing to rising sectarian turmoil part of the problem is the way the

authorities respond to incidents where there's violence between muslim and christian communities there's a long history of purity for sectarian violence and a fairly it's really acknowledge that there is a serious problem the reason sunday is such a worrying precedent is that we saw the police we saw images of the police finding with people who are throwing stones or sometimes shooting at a funeral grounds leading member of the ruling freedom and justice party dr amr darrag admits the police behaved unprofessionally but claims the state is not to blame the christian community has been suffering from the from the behavior of the previous regime find all the time people trying to ignite the situation trying to cause chaos trying to spread violence as part of the of the air force to. bring down the revolution so it is very likely that these forces are behind this and we would like to know who is behind this and bring it to justice despite these

assurances with only two prosecutions for sectarian violence since the revolution many believe the new muslim brotherhood government is continuing mubarak's culture of impunity in the meantime thousands continue to demand justice for the cathedral victims and christians like attorneys say they will continue to protest in till the government acts this is true for r t cairo. president vladimir putin announces the russian budget for space exploration is just kind of that promising more than fifty billion dollars will the pond into the national space program up until two thousand and twenty can live a normal life is a business and this is a reach for the stars. and in america they have the eyes doing all it can to sneak a closer peek at past. online communications go to dot com and find out how much money the agency wants to play into the lives of its citizens.

u.s. secretary of state john kerry said talks with north korea is possible only if the country agrees to end its nuclear weapons far one during a visit to the south korean capital he reiterated america won't accept the north as a nuclear power and a pentagon intelligence report suggesting pyongyang may already be able to find a nuclear weapon was published mistakenly and quickly downplayed by the white house young meanwhile has won't talk here it could become a prime target if it shuts down any test missiles and also launches that was a response to japan's warning it will intercept any missile heading in his direction former pentagon official michael maloof believes a full scale war is a real possibility unless provoked. like a lot like the others like south korea the united states should be keeping a very low profile keep their powder dry but not make any provocations. and i think that. as long as there are provocations underway such as those continued

u.s. korean south korean military actions sizes this this is this crisis is going to continue if not explode do to some this calculation japan has threatened to shoot down any any missiles that might. go over it from from north korea but i think primarily it's because the united states has bases there and they see the united states as the primary threat. now this secret pretty for extra bailout puts a brick wall in the face of the. eurozone losing to make do with a turn by the euro rescue while costs when you can see it quickly spiral out of control and nothing is up to the bridge. that's a meteorite only. ten

thousand tons kowtowed through space towards russia. with the power. of a nuclear bomb. should have been sky full on r.t. . campaign and again venezuela chooses a new president chavez choice runs against a free market poster boy for possible venezuela choose after coming down taste death self-styled socialism or free market model venezuela votes april fourteenth on r.t.e. . this

is the line from moscow welcome back now a turn bet on bailouts for signs purses not all but guaranteed after heroes and finance ministers settled on the fine print the same officials the purse which is asking for more that that's all it would get me to see it will need to come up with in britain viewers almost twice the amount of money needed just weeks ago in parallel the eurozone to sign the secret government to stop pressuring the country's central bank which by law now answer is only to see european banks. also be forced to sell vast amounts of its gold reserves which is something marx and stacy believe was always the trunk is and so it's all kinds of reporters coming up at seven am g.m.t. . cyprus to dive into its gold reserves well we have said that the.

so-called troika there their goal all. around europe is to grab the gold remember greece give up their gold to the troika so i pressed of course will give up their gold and it's funny because obviously the government was the last to know that the i.m.f. has taken their gold and they said wait a minute no that never happened then they got a phone call saying wait but we did take your gold then they came out of the i think they did take our gold meanwhile chinese gold buyers are frantically on the take it will take it all as confucius said. stupid gold. the u.s. has once again handed more aid is said to head to the sea. when rebels secretary of state john kerry met with the opposition for many of this indicated it washington's sticking funded to the trend of supporting loyal movements or governments at any

costs and he's going there to check out found out the u.s. has its tentacles of influence in every part of the world. opposition leaders in many countries have sought and received washington's backing but u.s. support often comes at a price counting on money and arms from washington and its allies serious opposition coalition has elected a us citizen. to be the leader of an interim government we're i want to have to do x. or we must action the syrian born i t executive from texas mistake he may have washington's blessing to form a new government in syria but even anti-us voices inside the country say instead of uniting syrians the american leader in syria will sow even more division. in order for mr hill to build a team with which you could have mutual understanding he needs to find these people abroad at that it means that these people will have no idea what life is like here

before the election i didn't even know his name well list whole election of a government shutdown the prime minister was simply chimerical what i thought there was the benefits of having a government that owes its power to washington and can be considerable and that is the case with the current libyan government oh the current regime mostly to the united states and the united states will be seeking and are cashing that check very effectively for their own interests in terms of the strategic geographically importance of libya united states and west europe how about in terms of unfettered access to the high recall resources of libya against the resource nationalism with all his government they have for years the u.s. has supported the opposition in another oil rich countries venezuela in the hope that it would replace the league who could charge its u.s. educated in the kick up previous would be washington's perfect choice in the budget the state department's budget for two thousand and thirteen there was

a paragraph included that specifically said money is for these venezuelan political groups that are aligned with the opposition or that form the opposition. more than three million dollars right wing government under someone like an rekick our previous administration or what helped the us regain its influence and dominance in the region it's not uncommon for washington to host prominent opposition figures whether from cuba or china the declared seam is u.s. support for human rights. i'm learning the constitution of the us and the declaration of independence for me to have a better comparison with china so that will help me to improve chinese law in the future but some note throughout the history of washington's dealings with the opposition in different countries there was another common theme it's my experience after studying. many thousands of u.s. diplomatic cables that. the united states makes a. game in florence and contacts and informants.

with. opposition movements in order to directly partly in order to. have. both. the relief also and the second. transition of power having said all that it's not all oppressed opposition figures that washington welcomes for example the us is not going out of its way to free opposition figures in brain who are sentenced to life in prison for taking part in protest against the government there operating hopes the u.s. fifth fleet in the persian gulf so washington has been quite selective as far as who's opposition it supports in washington i'm going to check out. under let's not talk some more international news stories in brief way we have targeted killings has continued in pakistan they can only cover so kharaj it with twelve more deaths and that than today's political activist on traffic wardens in the city were among

the dead most were shot by gunmen on motorbikes in a drive by shootings a kind of standing in elections planned for next month was gunned down on thursday by men both a ton of fun. hundreds of people have turned out in berlin to protest against the eviction of a sick sixty seven year old woman who later died in a homeless shelter mourners laid flowers and lit candles in her memory rapidly rising rents in the capital have forced a number of long term residents from their homes to places on the outskirts of the city where caused such. under the southern mexico teachers have joined forces with vigilante groups to protest upcoming educational reforms the teachers say they fear the privatization of the education system with buttons and sticks demonstrators demanded a repeal of the plant charges which allowed to patrol was created to protect the community from drug cartels so they took a part they took part in that much in the name of justice. now it's

a new cafe with a difference a lively brew of coffee cake and political agitation that just last month offer discounts to striking workers and it's looking to serve as a place for people facing up to the powers that be. finds out that there are more than a few crumbs of logical thought among the cost signs on the lot. five books calls itself a revolutionary new phase where people can come to an intelligent political and intellectual debate that seems to be no shortage of customers over here we've got a charity debating immigration issues and a quick glance at the bookshelves will reveal marx and engels up there on the menu you've got drinks such as the mole a tell tale and the agitator and over here we've got found a class solomon class what's the idea. what about the place where people come to pass to organize to talk about what's going on in the world and you know discuss

how to change it we've had all sorts of people coming here holding events doing film showings poetry and i there's obviously a lot of anger against what our government doing to the cuts to education the cuts to the welfare system trying to dismantle the the n.h.s. the attacks on to say people i think there's a lot of people here that are very angry and want to question what they can do to defend ourselves but also to bring down the government the first time i've ever been here so it's just a new experience just try somewhere new and have a chat with my good friend and colleague phillip you know we've come painters so we feel we've done this very attractive there's a political question we should all of the broad we look for like when we come here for coffee. this place isn't just a coffee house downstairs you've got a special area for courses in citizen journalism as well as a room for poetry readings and comedy nights is

a type mix of politics. coffee that hasn't really been seen since postwar paris judging by the posters on the walls it's a mecca for everyone who's an anti anti war anti austerity cuts and team period as i'm considering the current face of british politics but so many people get satisfied it looks like this place isn't going to be running out of business anytime soon playboy k t london. sometimes you don't have to go to space because pays comes to the head with this if this is him russia's euros region it was earlier this year when it was hit by a massive rise. with oil pipes bursting in arkansas people across the us are starting to realize that

they are moving towards what the atlantic calls the infrastructure cliff in short america's infrastructure started to get a bit old and according to infrastructure report card dot org the u.s. needs about three point six trillion dollars of infrastructure spending by twenty twenty to turn things around the site sponsored by the american society of civil engineers gave all aspects of american infrastructure like bridges and drinking water in schools several some pretty bad grades except for solid waste removal for some reason in their opinion everything in the usa is going to crap except for america's ability to throw solid crap i'm not trying to sit here and scare you there is nothing to fear this is a big challenge but it is a very possible one to accomplish according to cost of war dot org the last ten years of war of cost about three point one trillion dollars just cutting wars in half by fifty percent could put a huge dent in the infrastructure spending and what about all those billions in bailout that were spent you see the money is there it just gets wasted if the money stops getting thrown away and start getting spent or will play. it infrastructure

then the infrastructure will start paying for itself iraq an infrastructure creates wealth so don't fear the infrastructure cliff just stop wasting money or allowed politicians to waste money and everything will turn out to be just fine that's just my opinion. could be true both. you. choose who. you. will listen to they. will do when they get a militia like you. to see more of. the

russia. should deal with. some breaking news this is not a story of the just coming out of central west and russia right now i frankly incredible the sky full of fire and brimstone about a hundred thousand tons. eyewitnesses reported of a business of rocking the region as a trail of smoke and they at least twenty times the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on hiroshima took place in the sky above the cities and towns of your goals the blast wave smashed windows and destroyed groups of missiles buildings. it was followed by a downpour stone fragments from the meteorite on the people below. several people wounded but no one was killed as a result of this.
