a series of deadly attacks have struck security forces across egypt where violence has continued now into a second day gunmen killed four soldiers in an officer in a drive by shooting in a city hundred kilometers east of cairo then a massive truck bomb hit a security headquarters in southern sinai peninsula that left five dead and more than fifty injured his are egypt correspondent true. the families have gathered in front of cut the capital's main morgues and him to basically pick up the dead after a very bloody night in cairo and across the country leaving dozens dead and hundreds arrested this all kicked off on sunday afternoon on the anniversary of the fortieth the fortieth anniversary of the one nine hundred seventy three arab israeli war this is largely regarded as an armed forces day a day that people celebrate the military victory. of the interim president had called for egyptians to come to the streets in particular to his credit behind me and the presidential palace to basically congratulate the military what is regarded

as one of the most proud moments in egyptian history however supporters of mohamed morsi. they wanted to protest against the military not the institution itself they said but the generals they attempted to march went to the square as well which was being heavily guarded by security forces the security forces stopped them pretty sharply firing tear gas and bullets into the crowds there was reports of light on the mission i was there on the ground these chaotic street battles spilled over into the side downey's it was extremely bloody indeed however this is not an unusual sight it's not sadly egypt this is one of many countries that we're seeing dozens dead is no longer top news here in fact local news stations were actually more focused on the celebrations and they were on the bloody assault on the most of brotherhoods and morsi supporters this comes up to two and a half years of to more turmoil after the two thousand levon uprising which has seen the country really become very divided between those who want to side with the military and those who want to go with them as a brotherhood another side effect of this is unfortunately

a number of terrorist attacks already this morning we've heard of a massive explosion of security directorate sinai in south sinai to five police officers shock and dismay which is in the suez canal so we're seeing here is a massive massive security crisis for meanwhile the supporters of mohamed morsi refused to back down especially if they've lost so many of their relatives and friends those tournaments come back the streets so expect to see further clashes on the horizon. i spoke to political activists are supporters of the muslim brotherhood and the interim government to try to stir the. it's a knuckle breaking situation it's a bottleneck both sides are trying to put a lot of pressure on the other until the other reaches a certain point of. concessions that it's more or less puts the other party in a much stronger position now the muslim brotherhood are giving more and more into the scenario of victimizing themselves they're going on the street although they

haven't recently used violence but violence has been. imposed on them and they have a lot of victims in the past couple of days and in the past month or two they want to gain more sympathy locally in a broad. view fully up to date with the ongoing events in egypt you can also follow bell true on our twitter feed as well to get the latest updates from this divided country. the world's largest and oldest all cartel's taken sides in the british scottish independence for saying it can't imagine edinburgh is future without london the organization has extensive ties with the united kingdom and its biggest exporters a big fans of british weapons are london correspondent polly boy could tell me why opec's weighing in now. the british government's got tight links to opec and in fact the british government sells arms export licenses to a number of its member states including saudi arabia so for the critics it's hardly

a surprise that opec is trying in along with westminster in dismissing the idea for scottish independence and the opec secretary general general abdullah. who happens to be a former minister under colonel gadhafi he's firmly rejected the notion for scottish independence the head of the oil cartel said that there isn't much oil left in scotland anyway and he's dismissed the idea of an independent edinburgh ever coming under the umbrella of opec which controls one third of the world's oil supply he said that the interests of both london and edinburgh are both under the umbrella of the united kingdom which is all likely to be a blow for the pro independence camp in scotland a big part of the scottish nationalist independence campaign hinges on the notion that the oil reserves above the scottish border are going to be what makes the scottish independence campaign viable while the idea of scottish independence viable the scottish national party has even estimated that oil reserves could

account for up to three hundred thousand pounds per every scot so the first minister of scotland alex salmond has told r.t. previously that if scotland were to gain independence then it would be prepared to take on some of the u.k.'s the national debt because it would then be in control of vast swathes of the u.k.'s oil reserves according to some estimates ninety percent of the u.k.'s oil is actually located in the north sea in scotland and in fact from all the european countries norway is the only country that is that has more oil than scotland so there's a real difference in opinions from between the two camps and even put. and there is on the pro independent side of the argument even accused westminster of playing down the amount of oil that scotland has in its oil reserves in order to quell separatist feelings the scottish referendum is now less than a year away and we've had the pro independence campaign in scotland really queues

in westminster of waging a campaign called project fear to scare scots off taking the yes box when it comes to the scottish independence referendum even the newspaper where the interview with mr badgery appeared it's the telegraph which is closely aligned to the conservative party and i spoke to a scot in london recently who told me that regardless of where you weigh in on which side of the independents. you weigh in on the lengths to which westminster has been going to over the past six months even to fear or to scare scots into thinking about the consequences if they vote for independence is almost humorous politicians in westminster saying that scotland would have to reapply for its new membership if it broke away from the united kingdom that they might not afford to have a postal service so that they wouldn't have enough money to create a proper armed forces so both camps are engaged in a real propaganda battle at the moment we're seeing lots of different facts and

figures and statistics and it's very about from both sides and at the moment it's difficult to tell where the truth lies. californians have come out in force demanding mercy for migrants thousands of march to get a pathway to citizenship for eleven million or so immigrants with a message that no human is illegal to live without online today i also dot com switzerland's post mortum postal service online we explain why the country's recently deceased of being sent welcome to your new home it's. right to see. first street. and i would think that you're. on the record with. me and.

the destruction of syria's vast chemical arsenals begun it's been confirmed by international inspectors posted to the country under the plan brokered by russia in the us warheads chemical mixing equipment and rockets will be destroyed first so far all is going to plan a middle east correspondent paula slayer has the latest from damascus for you the united nations has confirmed that chemical weapons experts inside syria have begun the process of destroying the estimated one thousand chemical weapons stockpile inside this country there is a team of some thirteen international experts who have been inside syria since last tuesday they come from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague as well as the united nations and they are overseeing the whole post is they've all is to verify a report. what is happening but the actual destruction itself is taking place by syrian forces in a statement that was released by the international experts they said that on sunday

these forces had begun destroying the sa warheads as well as israel bombs and chemical mixing equipment the syrian forces are using cutting torches as well as angle the wind is to destroy missions the whole process is taking place at an undisclosed location but it will last until at least the mother of all the makes this one of those binding u.n. resolution that came in to fade off to the involvement of russian diplomacy we're still hearing though from the united states that if both sides. i don't get here to be a commitment and actually destroy these stockpiles of chemical weapons force could still be an option the important point to me is that the observers have said that the syrian president bashar assad is at hearing to his commitments but as of here there has been no indication no kind of comment at all confirmation from the rebel

side that they will be doing the same and this is important because a number of these chemical weapons stockpiles are actually on the frontlines are they changing hands sometimes they're in assad's forces sometimes they're not in the poses a number of problems firstly how will these international experts actually reach the frontline where they can observe the destruction of these chemical weapons and so a lot of problems a lot of possible. encounters further down the line that the international experts will have to deal with but certainly the process at least on the damascus side has begun. was a correspondence the international inspectors a got a colossal task ahead of them over oversee this month of hundreds of tons of chemical agents of rockets within a tight time frame one of the middle of a war zone to western intelligence estimates there are forty five chemical weapons to those around the country damascus is disputing that it says the numbers are that of the confusion stems from an operation to hide the weapons from a u.s. strike seven of them according to the government are located in combat zones that

makes us access particularly difficult as paul was saying as for the production facilities there are believed to be four of them in the country or near cities with fierce fighting is often reported hama homs aleppo latakia inspectors are under orders acosta verify the destruction of those sites by november the first as well they don't have a long time to do it all in all seriousness to made it about a thousand tons of chemical agents they include mustard gas blister agent sarin v.x. and of course sarin is the one that was allegedly used in the deadly assault near damascus back in august. well syria's cooperation in giving up its chemical arms as earned it praise not just from russia but even tacit applause from the united states to the foreign ministers of the two world powers met on the sidelines of the asia pacific economic cooperation summit in bali from where our correspondent reports next. confirmation that came that disarmament of syria's chemical weapons stockpile has already begun it was only ten days ago that the united nations

unanimously passed a resolution on syria's chemical weapons stockpile and u.s. secretary of state john kerry says that it's a record breaking process to get to this stage soon the russian's foreign minister lavrov says that damascus is fully complying with the international community to see your new cd during all these weeks after syria joined the chemical weapons convention has been working jointly with the international inspectors we hope this will continue on in the future while u.s. secretary of state john kerry also says the syrian government deserves credit for the smooth process now it had been hoped that u.s. president barack obama and russian president vladimir putin would have been able to have a one on one meeting on the fringes of this economic summit of course president obama was forced to cancel his trip to asia because of the ongoing financial problems in the united states and the continuing shutdown that his place has been taken by secretary of state john kerry who says that washington now believes there is no military solution to the conflict in syria. we agree again there is

no military solution here we should. not have. radical extremists on either side of any. assuming or greater. status or position in syria and that is why we recommitted today with very specific efforts to move the geneva process as rapidly as possible now it was undoubtedly a productive meeting between the two sides with kerry saying it's been the most productive meeting in recent months between lavrov and himself and attention now turns to the possibility of a geneva two peace conference where it's hoped that the syrian government representatives of the syrian government on the syrian opposition will sit around the table for peace talks. says that he can get a delegation from the syrian government from damascus around the table in mid november that's the anticipated date for these talks and kerry says he's hopeful

that he can do likewise with the syrian opposition. coming up afghanistan spearing up for its first democratic transition of power but with devious warlords and militia leaders among those vying for the presidency it's feared the taliban could get a head start we examine that more closely just ahead also to holding their own homes hostage we'll tell you about the desperate measures being taken by spot he is these days who are facing eviction after losing their livelihoods.

we know how to do banking it should be like infrastructure to support the economy it shouldn't be for the benefit of it leads to think they're above the law as we currently have. delivered george is on an epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred cities of russia. really fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killing. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp dick torch relay. on r t v dot com. well again the national torch relay for next year's winter olympics in sochi is

me there was a bring the flame to us i saw it literally driven past me in about fifteen minutes just from where i was standing then it was carried a scored by a mortar kate of a night wolf biker group to the red square where it culminated in. a ceremony attended by thousands of athletes saatchi twenty fourteen volunteers and the country's leadership was the one lighting the torch and and greeting the crowd with the start of the olympic torch relay as they were historic all the word extraordinary suits well with this particular olympic torch relay because for the first time in history the olympic flame will be taking out for a space walk it will find itself on the bottom of lake baikal the biggest lay the largest lake and in russia it will also be carried to the highest speak in russia the top of the el boost mountain as well as being carried by a plane a train a troika and even the carriage of reindeer so the this is something unprecedented

for the olympic torch relay moreover it hasn't yet. set that record but we are expecting it to become the longest torch relay in the history of winter olympic games will cover more than sixty five thousand kilometers and more than fourteen thousand dortch bearers will carry it across our large country we also know. that. at some point of time about one hundred thirty million people will be will be able to witness or participate in this torture late because ninety percent of the russian population will be within an hour's reach from the from the relay route and this makes it probably one of the most viewed and watched torch relays in the history of the winter olympic games so certainly as this is something we're all looking forward to you can always follow the olympic torch relay on a special website we created twenty four thousand dot artsy dot com slash torch hyphen relay and our reporters will be pretty much everywhere where the olympic flame will be going to live but george is on an epic journey to such.

could be making its way back into the government if you take a look at the red zones on this map you'll see the regions where there's an alarmingly high presence of the militant group i spoke to journalist he's reported extensively from the region explain to me why people turn though to the taliban. people are already looking towards a body minus a source of stability not that they agree with the ideology or the methodology but what they actually want to secure generally be able to feel safe and not having to be searched or stopped and searched by foreign troops or anyone insultingly a culture so i think that you will see more people looking towards the taliban because that's the only option they really have their policy of not engaging and not going in for talks with the only ones really backfired i think now they're coming to realise only have to ten years other they come to realise that they're going to have to actually talk with these people and maybe even accept the fact that once they leave the taliban will have

a larger government and the future of afghanistan libya is demanding an explanation from the united states why its forces kidnap one of their citizens that tripoli describe sunday's capture of a suspect in the one nine hundred ninety eight american embassy bombings of kenya and tanzania the libyan government said it knew nothing about the planned operation which it sees as a clear violation of its sovereignty and our celebrities being known the f.b.i.'s most wanted terror list since it was introduced back in two thousand and one in front of a five million dollars bounty on his head he's now being held on a u.s. warship in the mediterranean faces trial in the united states tripoli says it wants him tried in libya. as the main tourist season comes in and in spain record unemployment biting once again one in four spaniards are now out of work and for many that also means being out on the street to over half a million people have been evicted in the past five years so first up the story behind those sad numbers. the picture than less.

i recently read headlines all over the russian internet screaming in full paranoia mode that china has just bought five percent of ukraine now they're writing that china will lease five percent of ukraine over ukrainian officials themselves claim the china won't be getting either and if this is a deal about some drip irrigation system this iteration didn't explode onto the internet to the fantasies of bloggers the south china morning post reported that one company does have a crop in pig farming plan design you like nine percent of ukraine's territory also last year the ban on foreigners buying land of ukraine has been lifted although i am the distrustful pro sovereignty type getting the rich foreign country to pay to develop your nation's agriculture might not be too bad of a deal it would definitely take a lot of money to restore ukraine's farming to its former glory they see that

ukraine used to be the bread basket of europe agree that status back could really help the country but selling off or even just leasing nine percent of the nation's territory is absolutely unacceptable doing a large project with the chinese that is mutually beneficial is one thing but selling or leasing off your country is another and by another i mean treason but that's just my opinion. hello welcome to the r.t.e. sports show i'm kate partridge and i'll be bringing you another week of top sporting action from russia and around the globe and here the headlines. lord of
