a domestic issue for russia and russia alone and that the americans must not interfere responding to the so-called moneyed q list russia's prime minister dmitry movies if said the u.s. has the right to bar anyone from entering its territory by simply denying them a visa so the purpose of this additional ban is unclear except for its symbolism russia's concern that the release of the document comes at a bad time apart from putting out a strain on u.s. russian relations it comes ahead of the visit of the u.s. national security advisor to moscow on monday. and is the ban on american adoptions of russian children part of the counter nautilus washington's mcneice galaxy which is starring wide public debate in both countries the legislation comes after a string of abuse cases in u.s. foster families moscow may try to go even further with a show of child security as it considers whether to run to fight to international talk humans aimed at protecting children's rights the motions of focusing on preventing sexual exploitation and abuse against mine is as well as prostitution

would interfere with their individual rights. japan comes into north korea's cross has young's russians it could have time to talk here if it should sound any missile the north test fires while the us reiterates it won't talk to the reclusive states unless it agrees to drop its nuclear program. and also coming up a new london cafes offering more than a teaspoon of politics with its coffee and it's looking to stop the radicals all that later in the program. but now allegations of plots conspiracies and treachery i coming and think i'm sauced in venezuela copping a short but bitter presidential campaign some nineteen million venezuelans will vote to morrow for their next leader to head the world's most oil rich nation. campaign and gain venezuela chooses a new president chavez choice runs against
3:05 am
a free market poster boy for possible venezuela choose after commandante self-styled socialism or free market model venezuela votes april fourteenth on or treat. in the latest exchange to governments accused oppositional bringing in colombian power military militaries to soak trails on election day a challenge that's been vehemently denied the opposition in turn claims to be the victim of a government a smear campaign and again been ridiculed by the authorities also has to see their reports now on the faces of they've been is why the elections chances. important elections for the venezuelan people certainly snap elections after the death of will go child this is 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 nicolas maduro he's the acting interim president of the country he was the vice president during that chavez's time and on the other hand you have become you see
3:06 am
as i had one i guess who taught us 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 bush was he not representing the poor calling him some of the other hand he's accusing me of being a liar or using this as a body to run a political campaign. 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 crime level addressed and brought down the smallest of government bureaucracy and inefficiencies there are those who work staunch supporters very loyal to everything that this is still for the so-called socialist revolution big want to continue this and some of them out of this loyalty will 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 you want
3:07 am
to see what they say is a bit of stagnation in terms of the way business is going in the country and they say they will vote for the best so many are watching these elections mostly not least of which is the united states and has had strained relations with the country during the time of google chavez but for everyone else who is observing and want to know what happens next to me question they want to answer really is what step is that is really going to take in the hands of somebody other than who goes. so nicolas maduro may be the. represent a continuation of his policies but he almost certainly have trouble selling his predecessors shoes and that's according to international consultant. who spoke to my clinic. probably one of the main problems suddenly collapsed while dural has now 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
3:08 am
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 the last month or so to speak on the list take a minute now to talk about the second candidate show 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 daughter have done a very good job for him for the region in the long term something that i am sure mr completeness would not because he would completely aligned venezuela and bow in to united states requirements and banking global financial interests stronger ties with the us if he gets in does that mean that dictate that does that mean the u.s. would dictate more to venezuela in the future than oh absolutely they tried to do
3:09 am
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 the orchestra. where 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 business will. so the us wish list of political charge change abroad goes far beyond venezuela so coming out washington's hons trying to reach every point in the world as the country aids political forces in exchange for loyalty if it means a geopolitical game. that's later but now 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 lazer overturned that ruling and ordered every trial their original trial which began in august twenty

leben was seen as a symbol of change in egypt but many supporters of the revolution were frustrated by the sentence they deemed too lenient their trial comes at a time when the current president mohammed morsi is facing mounting protests himself he's being accused of betraying the arab spring and only pursuing the interest of his muslim brotherhood made the chaos sectarian clashes are on the rise with coptic christians facing increased violence they believe or say the police have done little to protect them as beltran reports. days after a brutal assault on egypt's main coptic of the drove 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. that attack just from everywhere even from the street next to the gas station by the could be interest the police told inside that's not what 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 painting the. presence of the the nation was shocked on sunday and bloody scenes of egypt's security forces firing tear gas and birdshot but it's directly at mourners gathered at st marks the. the joy here behind me one of the main churches to coptic christians president mohamed morsi has promised 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 the second criticize the president for failing to protect the cathedral members of the clergy present at the scene also demanded answers. because theatre has never been a time before who the people outside the cathedral and why did the police not even
3:12 am
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 cathedral 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 three to find all the time people trying to ignite the situation trying to cause chaos
3:13 am
trying to spread violence as part 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 him 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 tony 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 to skyrocket promising more than fifty. into the national space program up until twenty twenty so go online for the rushes and bushes to reach for the stars. and in america they have the eye is going
3:14 am
only it's doing i should say all it can to sneak a close a peek at past online communications go to a call and find out how much money the agency wants to pry into the lives of its citizens. u.s. secretary of state john kerry said talks with north korea possible only the country agrees to end its nuclear weapons program during a visit to the south korean capital here a traitor america won't accept the north as a nuclear power and a pentagon intelligence report suggesting pyongyang they already been able to find a nuclear weapon was published mistakenly and quickly downplayed by the white house feel young meanwhile has want to talk here it could become a point target if the child star should stand any test missiles the north launches that was a response to japan's warning it will intercept any missile heading and its direction and former pentagon official michael maloof believes a full scale war is a real possibility unless provocations stop. like not like the others like south
3:15 am
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 some this calculation in japan is the first threatening 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 a super of three four extra bailout cash hits a brick wall in the face of the e.u. the eurozone orders it to make do with it ten billion euro rescue a sick witness quite
3:17 am
. to the degree that international and world in the very heart of moscow. this is also a welcome bok a ten billion euro bailout for cyprus is not all but guaranteed to eurozone finance ministers such hold on the fine print the same officials warned cyprus which is asking for more that's that's all it would get and it's a. that need to see you will need to come up with thirteen billion euros almost twice the amount of money needed just weeks ago in parallel the eurozone wants the secret government to stop pressuring the country's central bank which by law and
3:18 am
also is only to see made european bank is cyprus may also be forced to sell vast amounts of its gold reserves which is something mark some states to believe was always detritus and so therefore cause reporters coming up with some. cyprus to dive into its gold reserves well we have said that the. e.c.b. the so-called troika there their goal as they maraud around europe is to grab the gold remember greece had to give up their go to the so i pressed of course will give up their gold and it's funny because obviously the cypriot government was the last to know that the i.m.f. had taken their gold then they said wait a minute no that never happened then they got the phone call saying wait but we did take your gold then they came out today oh i think they did take our gold meanwhile chinese gold buyers are frantically on the phone will take it will take it all as confucius said i.m.f. stupid gold we buy.
3:19 am
the u.s. is once again him to do more aid is said to head to the syrian rebels secretary of state john kerry met with the opposition for many of this him to come to washington sticking firm to the trend of supporting the oil movements all governments at any cost and does get that she can find out if the u.s. doesn't limit itself to influencing just one country. 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 our servants have to take action we must take action the syrian born i-t. executive from texas mistake he told may have washington's blessing to form a new government in syria but even anti assad voices inside the country say instead
3:20 am
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 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 this whole election of a government down the prime minister was simply chimerical. for the us the benefits of having a government that owes its power to washington can be considerable that is the case with the current levy in government but otoh the current regime most new 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 hybrid resources of libya against the resource nationalism with all
3:21 am
his government they have for years the u.s. has supported the opposition in another which country's been a swell in the hope that it would replace the legal charges u.s. educated in the company is 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 of more than three million dollars right wing government under someone like enrico previous a menace well 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 to the declared seam is u.s. support for human rights which you're going to 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
3:22 am
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 you florence and contacts and informants. with. opposition movements actually in order to correct them partly in order to have bets on both. the lead also and the second in case there is a 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 pop brain who are sentenced to life in prison for taking part in protest against the government their operating host the u.s. fifth fleet in the persian gulf so washington has been quite selective as far as
3:23 am
who's opposition it supports in washington i'm going to check out. some other international news i'm brave or reported wrong because that's not how strong the effort and the of concision of jalalabad there is reportedly home to launch a u.s. military base and dogs as a major hub for helicopters and drones the how the no reports of casualties yet situated near the border with pakistan jalalabad is gaining a reputation as a whole spot in the insurgency growing across afghanistan. a wave of targeted killings has continued in pakistan as they can only cover so kharaj in was twelve more deaths in less than two days and the traffic wardens in the city were among the dead most were shot by gunmen on motorbikes and drive by shootings that standing in elections planned for next month was gunned down also today by men both atomic bomb. hundreds of people have turned out in the berlin to protect to protest against day of action of

3:25 am
there are more than a few crumbs of radical thought among the cross sounds out there a 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 all right see it's abating 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 more little marx hale 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 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 showing poetry and i there's obviously a lot of anger against what our government is doing to us who the cuts to education the cuts to the welfare system trying to dismantle the the n.h.s.
3:26 am
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 philip you know we've come painters so we feel we've done this very attractive this is a political the person we should be bold broad we look for it ok we come here quite well for people for. 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 it's a type of mix of politics and coffee that hasn't really been seen since post-war paris judging by the posters on the walls it's a mecca for everyone who's anti anti war anti austerity cuts and team period as i'm considering the current state of british politics with so many people dissatisfied
3:27 am
it looks like this place isn't going to be running out of business anytime soon boy k r t london. coming out shortly the latest edition of our financial show the kaiser report. with oil pipes bursting in arkansas people across the usa start to realize that they are moving towards what the atlantic calls the infrastructure cliff in short america's infrastructure starting to get a bit old and according to infrastructure port 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 cetera some pretty bad great except for solid waste removal for some reason in their opinion everything in the us is going to crap except for
3:28 am
america's ability to throw solid crap away 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 a well planned infrastructure then the infrastructure will start paying for itself rock'n 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 but that's just my opinion.
