with day to take a look at our top story. a series of deadly attacks have struck us security forces across egypt where violence has continued into a second day gunmen killed four soldiers in an office in a drive by shooting in a city one hundred kilometers east of cairo a suicide attack addenda detonated a massive a truck bomb that drops through the security headquarters in sovereign sinai peninsula five people died and more than fifty were injured in the blast is an egypt correspondent with more. 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 is this all kicked off on sunday afternoon on the anniversary of the fortieth the fortieth anniversary of the 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 square right

behind me on 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 had other ideas they wanted to protest against the military not the institution itself they said but the generals they attempted to march on to the square as well which was being heavily guarded by security forces security forces stopped them pretty sharply firing tear gas and bullets into the crowds there was reports of life. it's chaotic street battles spilled over into the side alleys it was extremely bloody indeed howard this is not a and unusual sights not sadly egypt this is one of many countries that we're seeing doesn't start 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 missing brotherhoods and morsi supporters this comes up to to know how to use it to look 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 the missing 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 in sinai in south sorry night edition of five police officers shot dead and it's my layer which is in the series canal so we're seeing here is a massive massive turmoil security crisis for meanwhile the supporters of mohamed morsi refused to back down specially if they've lost so many of their relatives and friends there is time to come back the streets so expect to see further clashes on the horizon. political activists of supporters of the muslim brotherhood and the interim government trying to stare at each other down 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 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 this 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 and abroad. all the recent developments in egypt as well as the history of the violent revolution and. the world's the largest and older as oil the cartel has taken sides in the british scottish independence rousing it can't imagine edinburgh's future without london the organization has extensive ties with the u.k. and its biggest exporters are big fans of british weapons a london correspondent ali boycott told me why opec swaying in. 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 abdalla saleem el baradei who happens to be a former minister and a colonel gadhafi he's firmly rejected the notion of the 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 oil reserves above the scottish border are going to be what makes the scottish independence campaign viable or 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 put into some estimates ninety percent of the u.k.'s oriel is actually located in the north sea in scotland we've had the per 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. scare scots into thinking about the consequences if they vote for independence is almost humorous with

politicians in westminster saying that scotland would have to reapply for its 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 some different facts figures and statistics and it's very about from both sides and at the moment it's difficult to tell whether truth lives. well let's take a look now at what we promised you earlier on that spectacular show taking place in the russian capital to honor the start of the olympic torch relay right there you see that beautiful spectacle they are the fireworks at moscow's a university sunday building just the in sparrow hills now this show wraps up the first day of the moscow leg of the olympic torch relay arriving in moscow on sunday the flame was used to beat my old room in a red square from there it started on its way around the capital set to last until

wednesday next little girl on the apic journey across russia spending four months and sixty five thousand kilometers it's destinations include europe's tallest mountain the bottom of lake baikal and even the outer banks. it's all right as we noted at the olympic torch arrived on the sunday from our lisa with a very beautiful and so very at red square the president was there welcoming it together with thousands which addressed the reds when today of course the tickets were strong around to moscow showing it off to all the locals here and of course it is

said that up to ninety percent all all natives here in russia will be able to be just a few meters away from of the olympic really away ever it is around. the country now we know that it's going to be around two thousand nine hundred cities and settlements that are going to be being able to witness of the olympic torch going around. we know that fourteen thousand torchbearers will be able to. take the top around the country this will be so they will be normal people would also be. a limpia and so it really is a dream to be just taking up on the twenty fourteen winter olympic games which will start on the seventh of february twenty fourth in the paralympic olympic games all started. preparing. everybody is excited to see the torch a wives

and now we see. relay hitting it off. and it will soon go around. three. around the country also we know that it's going to go. some of the cars will be taking that ever. walked the torch the olympic torch. one of europe's tallest mountain. call and it will also travel around two thousand and nine hundred cities and making sure that everyone in russia will be able to experience and get into the spirit of the olympics in twenty four. storey now the destruction of syria's chemical arsenal has begun it's been

confirmed by international inspectors a person to the country under the plan brokered by russia and the u.s. warheads chemical mixing equipment and rockets will be destroyed so far all is going to plan a middle is correspondent policy a report from damascus. the united nations has come further into that chemical weapon experts inside syria have begun the process of destroying the estimated one thousand ton 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 overseen the whole purses they've role is to verify a report as well as observe 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 solid warheads as well as aerial bombs and chemical mixing equipment the syrian forces are using cutting torches as well as angle the wind is to destroy missions now the whole process is taking place at an undisclosed location but it will last until at least the middle of the next year that's one of those u.n. resolution that came in to face off to the involvement of russian diplomacy we're still hearing though from the united states that if both sides being damascus and the rebels don't adhere to their commitment and actually destroy these stockpiles of chemical weapons force could still be an option the important point to make is that the observers have said that the syrian president bashar assad is at hearing to his commitments but as of yet there has been no indication no kind of comment 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 frontline so they changing hands sometimes they're in assad's also 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 so the process of news from the damascus side has been done. by the national polls really for next year as sochi winter olympics is in moscow before it carries on an incredible journey across of the world's largest country. for a star day of the most canadian in pink torch relay is wrapping up it's being brought to the moscow state university campus where a spectacular show is being shown to right now those fireworks going out is that i see a chef he joins us now i so we've just seen a just appears a full spectacle all those fireworks going tell us mall where you are. very

exciting here obviously and literally seconds ago we witnessed spectacular fireworks which was the culmination of the first day of moscow's leg of the olympic torch relay it kicked off in midday at the red square beside the red brick walls of the kremlin with five time olympic champion and synchronized swimming the sea diver the being the first torchbearer the first off the fourteen thousand and what promises to be a record breaking lympics torch relay in the history of the winter olympic games all through the day the torch bearers have been running through the russian capital from the kremlin to here the sparrow hills the territory the most the state university now we witnessed the concert here. lots of people have gathered here thousands to witness the olympic flame in person and now the concert has come to an

end with the fireworks and the second most go moscow's leg of the torch relay is promising to be as exciting although of course the traffic jams will be ever present in moscow on the tuesday during the second day the torch relay itself is promising to be a very. especially one historic one and i did a report explaining what the peculiarities and what's so special about this particular torch relay this time. on october the twenty ninth in a limpia handed over to russians on october the fifth in athens and delivered to moscow on the next day now the olympic flame has started its long and unique journey across the host country five time olympic champion and synchronized swimming and. was chosen to be the very first store to bear a fourteen thousand more will hand the flame to each other in the next four months among them people of a range of profiles and backgrounds including a special v.i.p.

guest there's a lot of expectation on the on any significance but on these games i think there's a lot because it's been a lot of preparation. a lot of work to do and i think it will be but i think it will be a great to go into. the twenty fourteen sochi games olympic torch relay has only just kicked off but it has already been branded as historic covering more than sixty five thousand kilometers across nearly three thousand cities towns and villages in russia it will become the longest storage relay in history and probably the most seen as well with almost one hundred thirty million people being within reachable distance of the relays route for the first time in history it will be taken for a space walk outside the international space station that's before descending to the bottom of the world's deepest lake baikal heading to the top of the world at north pole and scaling europe's highest peak russia's mountain. this is a unique opportunity to unite the nation and a great way to explore russians themselves and because the torch

will come with the flame. every single cd and for that moment this particular city will be the capital of the olympic games after two days in moscow the olympic torch will head further inland before ending up at the grand opening ceremony of the tsotsi winter olympic games in exactly one hundred twenty two days from now. alexi russia of ski r t moscow. back to one of our top stories a serious corporation in giving up its chemical arms as it ended praise and not just from russia but even that tacit applause from the united states the foreign ministers of the two world paulson met on the sidelines of the age of pacific economic cooperation summit in bali paul scott is the forty. confirmation that came that disarmament of syria's chemical weapons stockpile has already begun it was

only ten days ago that the united nations as you know honestly 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 and russian's foreign minister lavrov says that damascus is fully complying with the international community you see during all these weeks after syria joined the chemical weapons convention you just have 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 slow false move process now being hyped 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 kind. 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 the geneva two peace conference where it's hoped that by the syrian government all representatives of the syrian government on the syrian opposition will sit around the table for peace talks. says that he can get. 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. bring in more news after this break to stay with us here on r.t. . millions around the globe struggle with hunger. what if someone offers a lifetime food supply no charge. they can they're very strong against g.m.o. and we think that's. genetically modified products are. there is no. evidence for this any problem with genetic engineering when you make a deal. or is free cheese. i don't believe

that. free. enterprise is profit. for. golden rice barkeep. thanks was a day with us here on our team libya is demanding an explanation from the us alliance forces kidnapped want to be a citizens that's how tripoli described sunday's capture all the suspect in the nineteen ninety eight american embassy bombings in kenya and tanzania the libyan government does says that they see the operation as a clear violation of base over in team defense consultant amaury and told us that

of the u.s. things that has the right to meddle in other countries face. it's extremely dangerous policy that a a one governments in the world can intervene in any other country sovereign state invaded afghanistan without a un resolution they invaded iraq without a un resolution they attempted to carry out air strikes against syria recently without un resolution so it's an extremely dangerous policy and it makes ever the whole world a dangerous place or with their with their policy in place for his part secular state kerry has defended capturing a libya as quote legal and appropriate target what puts him in that category well they claim that under a two thousand and one u.s. law they can capture anyone anywhere in the world they can enter any sovereign territory and arrest anyone but what's what's amazing about this story really is

that this individual lived in the u.k. in the ninety's he was also involved with the attempted assassination of hosni mubarak the then president of egypt but he was also aided allegedly aided by m i six britain's security services to assassinate the revolutionary guard daffyd the the then head of leader off for libya and of during all this time he was given asylum political asylum in the u.k. and he also found time to plan the bombings of the embassies in tanzania and kenya . former warlords with a tainted past a militia leaders and political outsiders will join a number of heavyweights to face each other in afghanistan's presidential race more than twenty candidates have registered to succeed jaime karzai who is second and final term ends next year the concerns over corruption and vote rigging are already

costing a pall over the election but overshadowing it all is one major fear the taliban making its way back into the government now if you take a look at the red zones there on the map you'll see that the regions are where they've been alarmingly high presence of the militant group journalists are said by has reported extensively from the region and he shared his thoughts on why people turn to the taliban people already looking towards him taliban as a source of stability not that big the ideology or the methodology but what they actually want to security and to be able to feel safe not having to be searched or stopped and searched by foreign troops or anyone insultingly culture so i think we'll 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 taliban is really backfired i think coming to realize only have to ten years or

they come to realize 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. more of the world's i mean news this hour a series of apparently coordinated bombings have rocked baghdad killing at least thirty seven people more than one hundred others have been injured at least seven car bombs and ross i devices were detonated mostly in shiite areas although sunni neighborhoods were also hit iraq's day a day daily sectarian violence has killed almost a thousand people in the last month alone. powerful typhoon if ito which is that hammering east in china has now forced more than one hundred million people to feed to safety soldiers helping the evacuation and building levees the strong winds and flooding have disrupted travel and brought down pollen lines two people have been confirmed dead so far is the twenty third time for them to hit china this year

china will lease five percent of ukraine over ukrainian officials themselves claim that china won't be getting our either and if this is a deal about some drip irrigation system the situation didn't explode onto the internet due to the fantasies of bloggers the south china morning post reported that one company does have a crop in pig farming plan design utilize ninety percent of ukraine's territory also lester the ban on foreigners buying land ukraine constantly been lifted although i am the distressed will proceed type getting a 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 far. 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.
