go and. vote again through the winds pakistanis are choosing a new parliament in what has already been called of the bloodiest election campaign in the country's history. the same aim but different tactics of president putin the british prime minister cameron to discuss the approaches to peace in syria as they pave the way for an international conference on the conflict. u.s. military forces in europe are put on alert after some western diplomats are pulled out of libya over the latest surge of post revolution under arrest. and an urgent space walk is planned late on saturday to fix an all morning spotted earlier by the crew aboard the international space station.

international news analysis and reports of this is our team with me to say the people of pakistan are voting in a crucial turning point in the country's young democracy but there's already been bloodshed at least eleven people dead and six blossoms throughout the country continuing the way the president and violence during the election campaign is the caffein off has the story. turbulent dramatic and unpredictable that is how many here have described pakistan's general election campaign in a country that has spent most of its sixty six years under military rule is seen as a milestone with thirty five million new voters more female candidates more polling stations and more observers than ever before but also more violence now pakistan's military have dispatched thousands of troops to polling stations in order to

prevent militants from disrupting the vote for the pakistani taliban has threatened to carry out widespread attacks today including suicide bombings saying that it opposes the infidel system of democracy here already more than one hundred people have been killed in attacks by the taliban and other groups in the past four weeks to add to the anxiety unidentified gunmen had kidnapped the son of a former prime minister use of golani on thursday his whereabouts are still on known now despite the violence this vote will mark the first democratic transfer of power in august on that hasn't been preempted by a military coup of the candidates the pakistani people's party is campaigning to win a second term although its record is questionable the government is still plagued by a growing extremism of sectarian violence and democrats as well as a broken economy down the main opposition comes from the party of former prime minister nawaz sharif who looks set to win the most number of seats this could mean a return to power fourteen years after he was ousted in

a military coup he is advocating free market reform and economic growth as a way to sort of tackle pakistan's political problems he's also said that pakistan should reconsider its support for the u.s. war on terror and has suggested that negotiations with the taliban should have take place on his heels of course is iran on the brigadier turned politician and his party had boycotted the last election but he's made significant gains especially among the youth voters he is calling for an end to corruption and the drone strikes as well and to a reliance on western aid of course he was injured earlier this week. and there are some thoughts that perhaps those injuries could boost support for him but the optimism in pakistan has been clouded by worries that none of the major parties will get a clear leader which raises the prospect of a fragmented parliament and could lead to weeks of fighting in order to form a coalition government of course the bigger question still remains will any of the candidates or party be able to tackle pakistan's witch's brew of problems the

economy has crashed unemployment is soaring fuel is in short supply while there's an excess of violence whoever of wins this election will certainly have a hard time ahead. from pakistan during its historic election she says them all beaufoy banned from polling stations will feel suicide bombers she's also facing picture of supporters of the main contenders. was on at us as we're now joined by gareth price he's a senior research fellow at chatham house u.k.'s royal institute of international a phase so let's speak to him now mr prize at these eleven people killed in no five a tag said today how would you assess of the government's efforts in protecting the vote. or. seems to be very hard. security has been.

normal. what do you make of the so-called taliban blacklist. the why did the two main parties the p m l and the movement for justice not make the list. i mean. political reconciliation process with the backdown kind of ban that seem to be some kind of deal with in punjab which has been moved by you must respond to the boss or against. militant be tolerated if it is that if it's occurring elsewhere it's done so the senate got the substance of parents and they are most people the islamic. more secular

positives that kind of unconscious that the imran khan and now was sure we have played to the anti us tondo wanted to win a vote is. i think there is a lot of resentment regarding dream strength in particular. and in your sentiments being. done for a long time i think. one of the. christians because. of the campaign you have been able to campaign and to hold the election that isn't worth the focus has been dominated by these two parties i think frankly the sort of anti us sentiment is pretty widespread across countries within pakistan maybe the outgoing government also did try to stop the us joint strike so will it change the government of government making way any difference to washington's policies. i think that depends on if things are made under the law government. the civilian government receded response ability to these kind of issues largely to the military

so for one it will depend on what the can within the military as a good pakistan's military has helped with identifying individuals the u.s. trying strikes on one side and the other side it will depend on when the civilian government is weak case coalition or stronger. either a smaller coalition or even a majority government in the case that is a majority government cordon for washington to do something if they had the military backing then it would be us and i know the difficult position and how much influence do you think the military has now again that's going to turn depend on what happens in the election that the weaker the government the stronger the authority of the military will be over issues like afghanistan and and u.s. one. and a big bases for the military there's no entry friends and you know if you were to manage to win a majority on his own because as your reporter said with acted by the military

fourteen thirteen fourteen years ago and the question of whether he wants the military to take more back because i can agree to some kind of tension between the civilian government and pakistan's military over who has control of the issues that towards afghanistan in your example the ruling people thought the as been accused of allowing corruption to grow and causing the economic downturn while no one serious second term as pm ended the country in record foreign dead one would want us to trust him a third time to bring him back into it's in to paula. right . is there. are. enormous i'm sorry. now that it's insane to think that's not going to happen this time. in particular turned into

a shift. between the strongest storm people's party. with recruiter to work for and indeed we do and will be keeping our viewers audiences research what it will be happening that is i guess prize he's a senior research fellow at the royal institute of international affairs speaking to us live thank you. russia and the u.k. have agreed to renew limited cooperation between the security services up to seven a year long the main focus of talks between president putin and prime minister cameron in the russian resort of sochi was the escalating crisis in syria while the two leaders stressed or they still differ on how to bring about peace they did cement agreement on common goals both moscow in london want the bloodshed and and a unified syrian people to choose a new government while being free from violent extremism an international conference on syria is expected later this month but it was no mention during

a social meeting of which is strong support for the rebels or its intention to start directly arming them political writer john wife says the west is desperate to push its own interests in the conflict. seen the city national army enjoying some significant success in the last few weeks. and thinking back. years of the country and i think this is due to a panic actually in washington london potus which is finding the comedy in some king to fly to russia to be one of the people in the conflict is not who we were hoping to destroy the only way to we think of the axis of resistance into the term comprising city of hezbollah up and iran and selling not working and not only because politically of russia's political opposition to western milage into the nation but let's be clear the west is already into beating mode only to shoot through the gulf states said he quit talking to jordan funneling weapons funneling

money to the rebels but even so the city national army is managing to mean he can to who they are of significant parts of the country on monday to enjoy some success he's on the ground there is no doubt that despite the propaganda counting the ways that dance this out it still enjoys significant support within said it itself and that is key. right there was as a put its military forces in europe on alert over escalating tensions in libya washington and the u.k. have already pulled some of the diplomatic stuff from the country during an outbreak of violence of the late as a wave of unrest was sparked by a noodle marring gadhafi era officials from taking office i'm demolition of five says have laid siege to ministry buildings in the capital demanding the resignation of the country's prime minister spent agreements in parliament i have been calling for the premiers dismissal of international relations professor mark ellman says the western powers who helped get out the are responsible for the pretty long term

is deep divisions among the libyan revolutionaries who britain and other nato countries supported there's a power struggle over who should control the libyan state of control libya's oil and gas if colonel gadhafi had suppressed so positions him when it was open streets and lost two thousand live and also be hundreds of people would have died but perhaps as many as thirty thousand have died since and the country is in in this state to disorder uncertainty life for most libyans is worse than it was on the commodore her of course kind of the girl whose regime was supposed the western countries to be the second paragraph anything must be russia we were told well i've heard say we see that it's not necessarily so clear after all they all mean libya which current situation groups came to power and seven have combination and there are of course. groups who may have been welcoming nato bombers but hohenheim quite serious and he wants to muslim fundamentalist groups who have now been sending

parts also to syria so they don't necessarily the continued presence of western embassies the british french or the americans as well as the holy something about seeing in a labor of tube as they would see libya. to telling countries to keep cutting baggage germany's finding that struck me europeans that i'm lumping at it's. performance which you have to bring to. the stage germany you have to make children as a report so you know there's no warm welcome from that user riches stage of all the increasing number of economic migrants were accused of abusing germany's welfare system plus. you stink you bad people and i don't have a home that stinks because even see my son you sprayed him you don't want to get a close to this machine as it sprays said knows a thing waste water on palestinian villages they say it's collective punishment

against them by israel won't that just behave. i. mean speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic

it's one you hear on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of p.r.p. interviews intriguing story for you. in troy arabic to find out more visit arabic don't. dot com. thank you welcome back you're watching our team late on saturday two in the last astronauts will conduct an emergency six hour space walk to fix their morning a leak on the international space station artist on barton told me such emergencies are nothing new. this spacewalk is going to take place the leak going back to thursday that's when it was first noticed and i says commander chris hadfield talking with the ground there establishing what exactly was going on as i think we can hear now very steady stream of our.

common security here at a rotating towards. the. rotating british literature i think they're always getting it if you're out of the jam so to crew members going out outside the international space station to try and identify first of all exactly where this ammonia leak from the cooling system is coming from and perhaps if they can to try and fix it even if they were they have to shut off one of the power sections the power channels that come from those solar panels there's eight of them they can still operate on seven without many problems is that what spokesman say at the moment it is as they characterize it a serious problem but more of an annoyance rather than anything particularly dangerous they also say that three crew due to come back to earth monday at the moment that seems to be going ahead of schedule of you know it watching from home we always think being at the eye and says is so exciting it's been the ice has been orbiting for the last twelve years around it's been quite

a lot of cosmic work hard there isn't it there really has that's that's a good way of putting it i mean obviously some people would say it's getting on a bit the station but that's sort of to miss the point a bit of how the whole s.s. works in two thousand and seven there was another leak just like this one in roughly the same place in two thousand and ten one of the cooling systems really had quite a violent problem they had to sort out and in two thousand and twelve more works were done on this very cooling system again so the think that the whole point of this is that there is a constantly evolving space station there's bits being taken away and new bits being brought up it's very likely say nasa spokesman that. of space junk it might be very small this particular point of the space station and what have been slowly leaking for a long time so they could let go became a bigger leak but at the moment this sort of things are going on life is going on and it seems that the mission street station at the moment are ok. speaking of

space there's a race on to be a red planet pioneer over seventy eight thousand people have applied for one way ticket to be among the first humans to settle on mars with plans to start a columbine station by twenty twenty three one that online plots. the biggest and the worst cyber threat in the world might be the usa will report online how the government is taking a page out of hackers and the relentless fight against them. and there's the b.v. and the u.s. allows the use of pesticides linked to and wiping out hives of chemicals recently banned in bureau with a possible catastrophic ramifications are to dot com reports on the stink in this tale. israel's planning to build a nearly three hundred housing units in territories which the palestinians and says belong to them that's despite the fact that washington's already won the country

the moves are counterproductive this could also help of the efforts of u.s. secretary of state john kerry to restart negotiations between the bitter rivals israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law with the palestinians insisting building must be frozen before any talks we commence meanwhile gangs of palestinian youth continue to protest the decades long queue patient but israel's a dishing the dirt in a whole new way i gave even peaceful demonstrators as policy explains. first it was the bullets then the tear gas and now this it's probably the worst smelling substance you will ever smell in your entire life. you stink you bad people i don't have a home it stinks you made it smell i have nowhere to go i can even see my son you sprayed him developed by israeli security forces this foul smelling liquid is used

to disperse palestinian demonstrations and it's proving to be pretty effective if you take you in the eyes it can be painful and it could cause redness and if swallowed it can cause stomach problems it's important to state that this material has never been used against israeli jews in only jewish demonstrations it's the answer to a years old search by the israeli military for an alternative to tear gas to control crowds the skunk as an anti-riot means that we employ in order to live up to our philosophy of containing rights at a safe distance while also ensuring the safety of everyone involved but those on the receiving end came it's been used as collective punishment it's sprayed not at stone throwers but generally simply people participating in nonviolent marches and very often is that the skunk a spray that homes gardens at people who are not participating at all in any demonstration take

a tele to me for example he shows me the damage to his house from the so called skunk his wife was forced to throw the two old daughter from an absence balcony to safety below after the windows of her bedroom shattered the israeli forces come from this side and the sewage car stops the it starts spraying while at the same time the soldiers throw the tear gas on their houses. if we find it's usual to see clashes here in the west bank village of not the cellar between israeli soldiers and palestinian demonstrators villagers claim a nearby israeli settlement is being built on the learned as you enter not be silent this is the sign of welcomes you dozens of tear gas canisters that have been collected just over the past few months a stark reminder of the excessive force the israeli army uses against the small village it remains unclear what's actually inside the liquid i. mean this water is very dirty and has a very bad smell once we left the house for three weeks because of it it's water

based and has various ingredients that create a very pungent smell but it is household ingredients as well whatever it is one thing both sides agree on you would not want to be sprayed with this policy r t v sally in the west bank. these are live pictures from cairo where the retrial of egypt's former president hosni mubarak is under way along with his interior minister and six security chiefs are facing court of all the a part in the deaths of the n.t. government protesters in twenty eleven egypt's former leader received a life sentence last june but was a granted a retrial in general because of a number of trial irregularities mubarak was ousted as president and ferried twenty eleven following an uprising that left hundreds of activists killed. and another world news d.n.a. tests have confirmed that the men from ohio are accused of kidnapping and holding

square meters in five children you get another three thousand euros that month social eight call runs a motor scooter hire company in berlin and claims to represent many of set at what they see as a free ride given to migrants. if i would live in africa and i hear that when i see that my friend of mine of the other t.v. of mine is already in bali and shows me via facebook how is living then i would say oh well i go to bernie and as soon as possible immigration here is that a twenty year high with a further two million expected to arrive within the next three years along with traditional settlers from turkey the bulk of that number will come from with in sight the e.u. as the jobless countries like spain and greece look for better opportunities in the much wealthy in north as the mediterranean situation worsens wealthier countries

like germany are a magnet to provide work for their fellow e.u. citizens but even those who weren't even born in germany worry about the influx of . i came here in one thousand nine hundred four and now there are so many immigrants in germany who are not working not doing anything this leads to problems they live better than those who work. but those in the turkish community insist it's not easy. sometimes having immigrant status is not stickle to get a good job which leads to a lack of prospects and in some cases people turn to crime but this is not the majority how to handle surging immigration numbers or even the perception that they're draining society is going to prove harder for leaders to avoid there's a general election here just five months peter all of a r.t. belin. our case of prime interest that crunches the numbers and breaks down the

financial knees amidst a by the evidence in a couple of minutes. you know i've been asked a few times if i believe in conspiracy theories which is kind of an odd question i mean just in general believe in conspiracy theories like all of them even the ones that contradict each other i mean j.f.k. could have been killed by the mob the cia the k.g.b. and various secret societies at the same time or could he have been no it's just declare themselves official conspiracy theories that's silly obviously it isn't good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing

but on the other hand if you never question what the glowing box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker the kind of sucker who bought that there were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt in one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it's pearcey theories are matter of belief but actually they're completely a matter of facts if there's a lot of good evidence to support a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a rip tilling from the cosmos yeah you might want to just stay away from that one profession my opinion.
