are welcome it's good to have you company you're watching our take with me andrew farmer now egypt's protest movement has given the president and also made some step down by choose day or face a mass rebellion some twenty million citizens of flooded cities across the nation and a show of frustration among hundred more sees failure to keep the promises he made when he came to power a year ago at least seven people have been killed and more than six hundred injured during the rally so far are true reports now from cairo. millions of egyptians came down to the streets in nationwide protests against president mohamed morsi on sunday the first anniversary of his term in office international news outlets actually said this could be the largest demonstration seen in the history of the certainly in the capital at this march is stretched out it's watched the

horizon as they descended on the free square and the president to promise the scenes of the free square and the presence of others behind me on some make the world largely peaceful however there was an episode to finance it so was the muslim brotherhood that had called to see the cuts in the streets of the capital about five hundred people were told to me and came to the building and attacked it with mona talks and ropes security forces for their part and to contain the violence firing tear gas canisters this is led to reports that the for the president himself may have left the capital at two security reasons the spokesperson spoke on behalf of the presidency basis on the evening saying that yes the presidency make mistakes would be a very difficult doing but called on the opposition to have dialogue this is unlikely to happen as opposition forces have already said in numerous statements that enough is enough they don't want to die and they don't believe the president

mohamed morsi is fit to who makes my protests we call food by lawsuits initiative camano the rebel who said they had plenty of twenty two million signatures calling for the instant the president they said that is too many homes in the can should use a fading in front of me worsening fuel and water shortages at a y.c. rage crisis as well as human rights abuses and he needs to resign now and they actually are reportedly i giving him a deadline to choose day five pm they say he must resign by this is really a divided egypt and with two different sides and we're all going to back down meanwhile just a few kilometers away from the presidential palace where mass demonstrations were happening against the president those who supports president a. ahmed mostly not that only demonstration it's people by the islamic and millions a coalition of islamist parties in support of the president on his organization the mission but it's things that the president was democratically elected and that's cool the only way to relieve him from office is through the elections if the

demonstration digital receiver read nine and slam the opposition forces including tomorrow as being drugs and it just emits these divisions increasing across the country and violence rising people and that this situation is not going to end anytime soon the worst is yet to come. well one of those protesters is political activist in the good who says morsi has betrayed the ideas of the revolution that's what the former regime from power two years ago. the people statement is regardless of the political process it's people's will that is outs and that boom here against anyone who thinks they can hijack this revolution mercy never fulfilled any of his promises made even his own elections program so that people you know building for him is no member valid because he's never fulfill those promises he came to any urban reelections this you came through the revolution and he did not respect the revolution that put him there other thing is that i would

like to see very much a unified none fragmented opposition that can negotiate with a cutting government a smooth transition and a peaceful one it's very clear to me but the muslim brotherhood realized that. going to go anywhere and that they really need to rethink their strategies and transition smoothly and give up the powers because there's no talk about credibility and legitimacy with almost any time nation out on the streets. still ahead syria is bracing itself for a flood of american weapons amid u.s. claims that deadly cargo will only be given to so-called moderate rebel fighters but critics warn they would just prolong the two year conflict and lead to even greater bloodshed this story coming up shortly. the fate of the fugitive whistleblower edward snowden may be decided today in moscow where venezuelan president nicolas maduro is g.-u.

to arrive the leader of the world's most oil rich nation has hinted that if snowden requests it he could be given asylum by caracas all of this is europe reels from revelations that its leaders have been victims of u.s. bugging and surveillance. has the story. edward snowden has already asked ecuador for political asylum and they're currently reviewing the request but there's speculation that the question is still far from having been decided so the second or so already granted political asylum to julian songe was wanted by the u.s. and it seems this whole story around edward snowden is creating even more problems for relations between ecuador and the united states. that the n.s.a. may have started intercepting ecuadorian government telecommunications after the full story you would know them and apparently the country is under a lot of pressure right now from washington but when it comes to venezuela it's of

recently elected president nicolas maduro who's attending this major gas suppliers conference in the moscow he personally said that there's a great chance that snowden could get their political asylum in his country if he officially asked for it and now the former n.s.a. contractor himself is believed to be in the russian capital few arrived to the transit zone offered me to an airport around a week ago from hong kong with an invalid american passport and to the u.s. asking for his actual dition snowden so latest revelations have been published by german media which reports that the national security agency in the us every month listens to around half a billion of private phone conversations in germany alone also monitors the telecommunications of e.u. leaders and senior officials is allegedly bugged the e.u. government offices including its headquarters in brussels and according to a document allegedly leaked by snowden the n.s.a.

ranks the european union as a third agreed to coordinate in the same group with countries like china and saudi arabia and all this is forced major outrage in the e.u. with many officials saying that if these reports are true then this could be a significant blow to the relations with washington some of them fairly. to world war you were tactics and the situation is even great media leaders treated me between the two the worst work from roots of billiards. well nicholas mature i will be joining the leaders of some of the world's top gas producing nations in moscow today looking at ways to keep global energy supply stable coordinated projects to balance supply and demand will figure heavily at the summit at a time when the controversial practice of hydraulic fracking is upsetting the markets and the environment party's keiki pilbeam will have more on this a little later on. the sheer scope of america's

surveillance against europe has prompted analysts to look for motives with one intelligence expert saying it all fits into the realm of economic espionage this is spying for political reasons mainly it was economical espionage. to steal national secrets from companies to destroy jobs and to import jobs to their own countries so what the emergency like to do is to destroy jobs in countries like germany and countries like france where to the reality of what we do with the public is just to say well it is the chinese to spy for economical reasons it's a russian. or whatever reality or biggest enemy obviously choose the united states is the united kingdom so it's allies spying against all odds and if you're interested in just how u.s. intelligence services harvest and process your data head to r.t.

percent of all by a tech seeds are produced by the american food giant monsanto which is causing global controversy with its aggressive expansion strategy the company is accused of stifling small businesses and driving farmers to ruin and that economic backlash is combined with growing fears over the health implications of biotech food and g.m. i. raising the alarm they warn of side effects ranging from simple allergies to devastating immune problems but environmental groups including greenpeace are playing dan those claims they say that no harm from searching gradients has been scientifically proven and that the most dangerous factor is the lack of information on how they really affect us on this now from artie's. it's controversial but britain's environment secretary says that the public should embrace genetically modified food is a hard sell the campaign is say it's dangerous to human health whereas the scientific community supports the technology and if it is as safe as they and the

government to shore it is and the argument for g.m. food is quite compelling it would allow farmers to grow crops in tough conditions and thus help to feed hungry mouths around the world the u.s. and brazil already must have produces of the stuff the british government says the u.k. shouldn't be getting left behind let's talk more about this i'm joined by dr robert he's the founder for the alliance for natural health which campaigns against g.m. foods talked of attack there are a billion hungry mouths in the world and red being told that this technology is safe shouldn't we embrace it in that case well if you look at all the real developments in raising deals it hasn't actually occurred through g.m. it's because for conventional breeding practices some of the greatest success stories even in the last five years have been related to traditional propagation techniques we've got to remember that the safety issues divided between both health effects and environmental effects and we know that the european authorities have

probably one of the most comprehensive evaluation systems compared with other parts of the world but only two crops have actually got through the net for cultivation over fifty have been approved for consumption but of course the majority of it is given to animals and not to humans what are the risks in this case how is it dangerous to human health people use the fact that there's been a lot of g.m. produced of course a large amount of it going to animals but the u.s. population has been eating a lot of g.m. corner a lot of g.m. soy and they say well we can't see the effect we believe looking at humans as guinea pigs is not a great way of doing it because technically given the fact that we're only looking at really one or two generations of exposure why is the government so keen to develop this technology in that case and who would be bent. getting from it if they did but of course there are about a half a dozen companies that are the key players in this areas of which monsanto is the biggest and they've been putting huge pressure on governments and of course if you look at the concerns that for example the four hundred scientists involved in the

big un study i started was recent two thousand and eight that said g.m. has no role to play in feeding the poverty in the developing world they're also saying that the biggest problem is concentrating the agricultural resource and particularly seed supply in the hands of a few companies and these companies have a lot of sway with the major governments in the world including the u.k. government to back many thanks for your comments but as one environmental group said the british government's attempt to get g.m. food back on the menu is like flogging a dead horse and despite any of the scientific arguments for it one thing that you can tell you with is that g.m. food just doesn't have a good reputation a survey last month showed that only twenty one percent of the u.k. population supports the technology. artsy london. and you can read more about this story on our website and this plenty more to catch up on including human

rights watch it sets its sights on saudi arabia the organization urges the country to keep its hands off the internet jailed seven people for inciting protests on facebook and a new military buildup on the kareen i mean as the north is reported to be beefing up its troops on the border warn that at r.t. dot com. please speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on our team reporting from the world toxicologists of the yard p. interviews intriguing story for you here. in troy the arabic. four and visit arabic t.v. dot com. the u.s. claims it has found a way to make sure the arms it sends to the rebels in syria won't fall into the

wrong hands this comes after leaked reports from the cia that it's about to start funneling heavy weapons to rebel fighters but is getting reports there's concern within the u.s. political establishment that extremist groups could be the ones to benefit. as war torn syria braces for an influx of u.s. arms some u.s. politicians ask whether president obama has carried out background checks on syrian rebels before giving them weapons this is a tweet from senator ted cruz and it's a snarky comment given president obama's push for more stringent rules for gun here in the united states as well flooding syria with weapons the administration's standards may be quite different from those applied at home the obama administration claims it's familiar with the backgrounds of those the u.s. is arming in syria there are greater guarantees now that the weapons are being transferred to moderates and to directly the syrian opposition but many ask how do

you determine degrees of moderate amid a bloody civil war where the opposition fight is riddled with horrifying execution scenes like the inevitable what happens is that. the more radical elements will have access to these weapons and that's and there's really no foolproof way of insuring against them the fear is that the libyan scenario is being set in motion again this time in syria we as a result of both the u.s. and nato intervention in libya the unleashing of a massive cache of weapons from libya both weapons that came from the west as well as weapons that were part of kentucky's caches and then made their way across the borders into money to actually create havoc not only in mali put throughout the region u.s. politicians ability to do background checks on those who they backed has been compromised a number of times in the past whether it was with osama bin laden or with syrian

kidnappers and criminals in senator mccain's photo album his office later issued a statement saying the senator did not know the rebels by their names when he agreed to take a photo with them it shows the utter confusion and. inability to determine who the good guys or group of burgos are the obama administration claims that it decided to flood syria with more weapons because the u.s. has evidence that the syrian government has used chemical weapons the u. when in the meantime says it has no proof as to who used chemical weapons in syria and there are indications the chemical weapons went to turkey and into the hands of the our national worse united states in terms of looking at that you don't hear you hear a peep when the u.s. doesn't need it this one group in syria terrorist organization the rest of the syrian opposition criticize the u.s. for that meant that washington reversed its decision they were thankful to all

those for for its assistance in fighting on their side and keeping that in mind one should ask are there any guarantees that those getting u.s. weapons in syria now will share america's values in washington i'm going to check out. a quick look now at some other news from around the world croatia has become the twenty eighth member of the european union sparking celebrations across the country the former the formerly war torn state has gone through several years of tough and sometimes unpopular economic reforms to become a part of the e.u. but now in its fifth year of recession and with one in five people out of work there are widespread public so whether this new status will actually bring benefits in brazil police have clashed with protesters angry it cuts to public service is in the large amounts of money being spent on sporting events thousands crowded outside the stadium where the national football team defeated spain in the confederations cup final has been overshadowed by ongoing protests that have brought hundreds of

thousands of people out into the streets over the last two weeks. and at least nineteen firefighters have been confirmed dead after battling a wildfire that's been raging for the past three days in the u.s. state of arizona the blazes devastated the small town of yarnell damaging. buildings and forcing residents to evacuate is believed to have started with a lightning strike in a forest the flames then spreading quickly in high winds. now the world's gas producing giants both nations and corporations are gathering in moscow to sift through the challenges facing the industry among them our financial troubles new technology and fracking and an environmentally dubious practice there's been jumped on by u.s. energy firms artie's katie pilbeam reports now on the order of the day. the world's biggest gas countries and companies have sent delegations to moscow to discuss their continued dominance of the industry now there is plenty on the agenda

including how to develop in these tough economic times along with new energy technologies and efforts to protect the environment so who are the member countries that at this summit well we can see in the blue russia is joined by iran and egypt there are thirteen members in total past four observers in the orange that including iraq norway according to the organization the gas reserves of the member countries all together accumulate sixty two percent of the world's natural gas reserves as for russia energy companies account for whole of the value of the russian stock market gas bombs exports make up ten percent of the national total our forum comes at a time when liquefied natural gas is a hot topic of debate because the us is on the brink of becoming a major exporter of l. and d. thanks to fracking lead energy through which is meant the u.s. gas prices have collapsed the desired when prices in the rest of the world especially europe have jumped gas prices are now five times higher in europe than

in the us environmental concerns surrounding the shale gas have been flagged up by the president of russia himself rather made putin he recently spoke of groundwater becoming contaminated by the fracking process and the high cost of production putin has also worried russia's energy companies to rise to the challenge of sell and he'll no doubt the dissidents out the gas form do exactly the same in moscow today . it's coming up to help us eleven here in moscow and coming up next our special report on the theater with a difference. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license

plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drugged driving plates have been in place in some states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one or three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically

display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems like a bit of a she think to me but that's just my opinion. the

business of the play is called two arrows. it's about a tribe that lives somewhere separately. in a jungle. just like us they love and struggle for power is a life. the this is the graduation play put on by fourth year students at the state's special institute of arts. students all the students are either hearing impaired or completely deaf.

to the specific it's a special institute of arts where hearing impaired people study and get a higher education. but unfortunately quite often the students can't find a job after graduating class that i'm. not sure if this is why our institute rector gave us an opportunity to start with theatre where our graduates can perform.
