attack. lawrence freeman from executive intelligence review magazine says egypt's interim government pays too much attention to fighting the muslim brotherhood and too little to the needs of the people that the current government. terry and the interim president. have made a decision that they have to essentially weak in the muslim brotherhood for the sake and survival. carried out a very strong campaign. over really months since the change in power that occurred over the summer and unfortunately really the more important aspects of where egypt's got to go in the future not yet been acted on in the full scope people really need is they need a konami development they need jobs in the future. all the details on the latest

competition for its position as the most popular and reliable small army in the world it's produced in over twenty countries officially used by over fifty five armies and on officially by various fighting groups a k forty seven is short for aftermarket collision a covert model nine hundred forty seven the year that it was designed but the inspiration came several years before from the first months of the war against nazi germany twenty one year old red army tank commander mikhail kalashnikov was wounded in battle and dreamed of designing a weapon that would help throw the lady out is high life for those who use it when it's a matter of life or hate a few years later combine the best features of machine and submachine guns you might want to use your ability on simplicity during the vietnam war american soldiers took a case from dead vietnamese troops preferring kalashnikovs to their own sophisticated unreliable him sixteen's when the u.s.s.r. collapsed began to be sold on the cheap throughout latin america the middle east

africa and in some countries by drug gangs and anti government militants. on al qaeda videotapes osama bin ladin is often seen with a kalashnikov rifle nowadays the gun is believed to be responsible for a quarter of a million deaths every year to make our kalashnikov often said how upset he was by that grim statistic and called for tougher u.n. measures to halt the illicit distribution of small arms. weapons should alah be in the hands of those people who defend their country that is to defend not attack i designed the rifle not for international conflicts but to protect the borders of my homeland kalashnikov design different variants of the gun but what unites them all is their simplicity and reliability. the assault rifle even became a cultural icon it's depicted on the flag and coat of arms of several countries and organizations kalashnikov has many honors including the highest state award the

golden star of the hero of russia presented to him on his ninetieth birthday we're none other than the president but despite such astonishing fame and respect we count kalashnikov didn't make one penny from the sale of his weapons the only way he could profit from his invention was by selling his name to promote various brands watches and p three players vodka and even off road cars but without a doubt his legacy is the a k forty seven his production continues to this day and the guns reputation as the world's top infantry weapon remains unchallenged. r.t. . and former u.s. navy cia officer michael of law is says that after more than six decades of the coalition of rivals still stands up to its modern equivalents. when the power of the weapon is as you have certain it's robustness and its simplicity. field strip and fired every modern weapon in the european and american arsenals and the

easiest one to love is the forty seven or you just pop the cover pop the spring pop the rod comes a bolt and there it is it's the easiest modern weapon to strip short of a low rifle it is amazing anyone can shooter and. it has been embraced by oppressed peoples everywhere. and to learn more about the history changing weapons stay tuned for our documentary as it would take a toll defunct tree where they gonna split to get there the former vice president of south sudan who's now leading an armed rebellion has said he may negotiate with a government that's according to the u.s. special envoy that who is working frantically to prevent the country from falling apart on a situation that would harm washington's interests american corporations have had their sights on the country's oil zone since it broke away from sudan in twenty

eleven the new borders contain over seventy percent of sudanese reserves now of there are reports that army defectors in some upside down are in control of these areas after two weeks of violence which has seen hundreds of people killed politically and has more details. it is the world's newest country that is south sudan already on the brink of its own a full blown divisive conflict dealing with a civil war that knows no bounds in terms of how long that's would last of course it has no determination as to how many people lose their lives not to mention those who will be displaced and alleged the vice president forced out which exclaimed ignited his ethnic loyalists into a deadly rebellion yet just two and a half years ago the world rush to recognize south sudan with washington among the loudest supporters in south sudan has mining rees reserves and it also has massive oil reserves those are the biggest interests land for oil mining and agricultural

production the agents of power that have put in place the government of silva kerr the agent that supported the south sudan sudan people's liberation army would be the government of uganda and powerful factions from the united states including corporate executives from the oil companies so the oil companies have served their interests have been served by bringing deescalate to power which they did and they succeeded in creating a separate independent state called south sudan now though a key oil producing area has fallen into a negate force is a huge blow to a government that relies on the industry for just about all of its money well i'm afraid it's going to affect each and every one of us worldwide you will see a tail pullback in terms of production levels from the south sudan which would impinge on global world prices of oil and alternately we would fill it out the pumps irrespective of where you are in the world. so prices will go up there will

be panic in the markets and the loss calls ultimately the biggest losers will be the south sudanese people foreign fuel firms are pulling stuff out and in many cases winding production down to zero last weekend for american service personnel wounded as the military aircraft came under fire during an attempt to evacuate u.s. civilians to safety president obama warns that he may take further action to keep americans safe i mean south sudan was never you know a country that had proper infrastructure and the main complaint from from the people is where is the money going why are most south sudanese on the edge of survival and you know the new government is already driving their set a stance and building these huge houses this fledging nation born out of decades of civil rule is facing the toughest test of ritual to existence but the population wary of feinstein and flynn has fallen down the priority list of those championing the moves to get south sudan put on the map paul is here r.t.

. and there are plenty of factors behind south sudan's failure to build a stable state is gaining independence for ethier open diplomat and expert on africa handed her son told us what he sees as the main reasons no it is the political conflict that came from above could not solve their own problem and this problem grows into a division in the ugly and in the society of course exceptional forces probably also their own role. that also down there is a very big rose and this will just supposed to be a blessing for the people of the book now is becoming a notes mirror and is igniting a sectarian war which will be very dangerous for the done not only for the people of so that and so then also for the region. down and out in bars coming up this solved find. more people in the city of lives are finding themselves left out in

the cold trying to find it want to have a child so they can on the straight. face

you know. pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today i'm sure. you're watching on seeing to national life or mosco welcome bond twenty four scene is almost upon us and we've been busy as all see international sorting through the stories and revelations the defend the outgoing defined or rather the outgoing get . these loopholes are big chunks out here braving the elements in

order to stand up to us oil giants chevron. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that sums up dubbed the gulag of our tards. is an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines. proc ing was sold to the wild as a revolution and a tree destined to drive down bills under meg's the west an interest self-sufficient level wasn't in the same page as the devastation caused these here husband daunted with fracking horror stories which in turn have given biassed a global crusade against shale gas drilling point

a boycott reports now for what has become a model of resistance rural romania. locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with an ongoing to guest u.s. energy giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas. agriculture is our lives if they come to grow in our soil for sure all will die because we've seen him in what they have done in other places when they came up with many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water. i'm so afraid of this kind of guess exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals because the water will be affected and this woman the food for animals and for us and our children as well we have children and grandchildren what should we do these locals and environmentalist's have been camped out here braving the elements in order to stand

up to us oil giant chevron under mania government which has given them the green light to start exploratory drilling and not feel david that without any public consultation. that's the biggest problem and problem. gives just people too real. feeling go stooging because they didn't ask. we didn't matter to them. the sense of betrayal is echoed by most protesters there are many in prime minister was against fracking during his election campaign but after being voted into office he changed his mind and granted chevron permits for the controversial practice for now nothing is happening chevron the forced to leave the area last week unable to get past the locals human

chain around the site but it's only a matter of time before they retire and when they can guess they don't have any future because the children present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but this is important for us to have a future chevron told our sea that they have all the required permits to begin drilling and plan to return to the site and begin fracking safely soon as they can something that's less than reassuring for the growing number of people gathering here result was not when we hope to stop them even if it means paying with our lives if you want to send the army we will die if it is food is for us to die so let it be who won't give up until the old friends in romania boy are to be pretty juste romania. george barda is a social and environmental justice campaigner has become a legal voice and versions onto fracking movement he says it's going to be

a long fight. the key from our point is to keep up the pressure so the government and the cronies in big business can't get away with forcing this onto the british people what we're saying every time this technology turns up on the doorstep of a community in the u.k. that community does not want it unfortunately the government is preparing legislation at the moment it's trying to make it more and more difficult for people actually to oppose this this technology meanwhile they've actually made it possible for people to oppose wind farms but not fracking so this is obviously highly inconsistent from our point of view. a secret room has been discovered in western russia police discover and listen treasure troves talks with german stows session million dollars that story is on our website. and also about a new cracks appear in israeli jew aspirations as prime minister netanyahu joins the global criticism of the n.s.a.'s my spine practices details at r.t.

we are collapse and no one wants to to recognize that after this in france europe's second largest economy the number of homeless people has increased by fifty percent since two thousand and one despite the promises of successive left and right wing governments to sort it out a year ago one hundred fifty thousand people had nowhere to call home. in paris alone it's thoughts more than eight thousand people leave rough today and the current economic crisis is not helping already rattle the fanny the family the we see entire family experience with kids the club example us who work out who are too poor to pay for accommodation because prices are renting activities are right they sleep on the streets or in their cars going up or for some students sleeping on the university's doorstep had become more and more numerous. dimitri spends eight hours a day underground because there is his job by begging for proof of that for the

hardest thing is learning this we are many but we are alone all by ourselves alone and getting little sympathy from the authorities. at this amateur video shows french officers trying to read essential to reason street from what nearby shopkeepers considered a blot on the landscape lessard have also been remarkably. they become reminders of unstable wife and it ends up with anger disrespect or even brutality towards the homeless who are themselves victimised by patrick has been living rough for three years in the language he speaks is different they call it street french. do no one has money no one has a job in spain greece italy france everywhere in europe before there were jokes but today there's nothing today it's only day. as the day ends patrick takes

a picture of us for twitter his one of five homeless people in france be dissipated in a social project called tweet from the streets to raise awareness of the rising numbers of those spent in christmas out in the cold studies show society here is more loyal to homeless people than in any other european country and one of the reasons behind it is that many think during a time of financial instability and a lack of trust and what's to come for tomorrow they can find themselves among those asking passers by for spare change gross national party or a person from france. and office and more global headlines this hour a wildfire in southern chile has wounded four firemen as it continues to rage out of control it's already swept through more than three thousand hectares of forest and forced to a hundred people to flee their howls high winds and dry conditions have made it very difficult for emergency services to contain the blaze. the trial of

pakistan's former leader perez musharraf has been suspended after explosives were found on the road he would have taken on his way to court it faces charges of treason the sharpers accused of illegally suspending the constitution two thousand and seven when he declared emergency of all the charges of police in while she waited. and up ahead with the. saying of me hail kalashnikov but look at his quality invention and how it has reshaped the. summer break a time when all students rejoice and most importantly relax but in russia summer

break for male students could change dramatically and involve lots of guns currently male russian citizens have to put a year into the armed forces but the ministry of defense thinks that they can make things easier by having students spend their summer breaks in the military this training would tie in with their future professions such as engineering students being put into military engineering position now the question is does your summer break belong to you or another words to the government have the right to tell you what to do and make you serve in the army even if just for three summers during your college years i think the answer this really depends on your culture in places which haven't been invaded countless times or have a strong individual ism streak any form of conscription sounds barbaric and oppressive but if you come from a country that is less individualistic and has been attacked invaded by pretty much every country that possibly could like russia then having a draft makes more sense i think this program could work and if i was in college i would be pumped to spend my summer vacation with some heavy artillery but this is definitely not

a universal idea for all countries i don't think liberals or libertarians in america would take too kindly to it and rightly so but that's just my opinion. true without firing a single. the one who kills that distinction belongs to the nut who pulls my trachea. an assault rifle. as. a group from russia's interior ministry.

information. they pay homage to past comrades who have died in the line of duty. has taken to terrorist operations across russia. but their weapon of choice is still. there yet. these soldiers with special training. procedures a lot of occasions to the kalashnikov to be tested in such units it would be hard to imagine a tougher testing ground. for every. two units in the field. than a scientific trial. the rifles designed. that when he realized

his first model was to be subjected to a severe test he looked away he couldn't see it with his own eyes. testing a new variant of the. goes through seven stages first the gun is placed into what's known as the dust chamber where the room is filled with. dust chambers filled with fine particles of silica sand the next stage will lead us to the sprinkler room it imitates a subtropical climate when u.s. commandos fought in the hot and humid conditions often prompted them to improvise with captured kalashnikovs. sixteen rifles kalashnikovs wealth and such a climate. came up with

a prototype for his celebrated rifle at least age of twenty two he says about designing it off to he was wounded in action during the second world war recognition of his achievement came five years later in one nine hundred forty seven when his model came first in a defense ministry firearm design contest the new weapon was designated a forty seven. i took care to think over every single part to make them more technologically suitable for mass production. at the same time i needed to make sure that the gun was as reliable and durable as its design dictates that was not an easy task in general any designer must be very careful with regard to every detail of the design the. vietnam war veterans frequents this firing range in the u.s. state of virginia it was here in the one nine hundred ninety s. after the end of the cold war that the a k forty seven was designed as met their

american m. sixteen counterparts following the gathering. put his signature on one of the rifles belonging to the club and this is russian ammunition. so it i'm sure it'll work well. general kalashnikov autographed this piece so this is quite a rare piece and when we shoot it i'm going to everybody. because we don't want to smear the signature of. people.
