qaeda has a base in iraq is because a large part of the sunni arab population seeds melky governor as a discriminatory towards the sunni arabs and terror has also been unleashed in yemen where all qaeda affiliated assassins gunned down a senior yemeni intelligence officer he was murdered in broad daylight in a drive by shooting. government supported by u.s. drones has been trying to dissolve jihad as network in a state for years but has failed so far are often looks at how qaida has adapted its strategy in the country. it's a bone chilling video the man driving this s.u.v. is on a mission to kill as a truck barrels into an army base in yemen's szabo province a sickening act of terror was captured on film omar. more than fifty soldiers died that day but al qaida went beyond simply claiming

a different lucrative trade over the last two years al qaeda in the arabian peninsula has exported some twenty million dollars worth of ransom money according to some estimates kidnapping has become the group's single largest source of funds foreigners can bring in multimillion dollar ransoms and in a country where nearly half the population lives below the poverty line twenty million bucks can go of very long way out of group the person is getting. sometimes one hundred a. few hundred dollars a month the. job. i mean is that is a sort of look at the business to do not necessarily because they believe in. the objectives of the leaders of these groups but just it's a business and al qaeda campaign for hearts and minds may sound bizarre but experts warn it's a dangerous tactical shift it appears that they have stopped focusing on trying to

attack the united states and the west focusing on building a presence in yemen. to local communities so that when the u.s. and the government go after them they. unless. they can look at sort of them. is that more of a danger is a subtle. although one government offensive eventually dislodged on social we are from seized land that doesn't mean the group is on the run this man spent years as a recruiter and agreed to speak to me on camera without hiding his identity in fact he now works as an accountant for the government revenue because many youth joined us willingly because they were looking for freedom justice and the application of sharia law that they saw the show real follow through on promises it was committed

welcome back to watching r.t. international image it at least seventeen people have been killed and more than fifty wounded in a nationwide wave of violent clashes between the police and muslim brotherhood supporters who has more. well these fierce clashes that have rocked the nation came after supporters of mohamed morsy called for protests in the lead up to a referendum on the egypt's new constitution on the fourteenth and fifteenth of january now the muslim brotherhood and their supporters in the form of the unsecure alliance and those who support mohamed morsi are boycotting this referendum as they say the constitution is just a minute and they are escalating the demonstrations as they go through to the fourteenth and fifteenth of january so egypt is very much bracing itself for more violence now so it will have already been shot dead today in favor human in serious
7:16 am
and also cairo and alexandria a number of protestors and also students have been killed students here in egypt very much of the vanguard of the pro-democracy movement there detentions in their killings is sparking the movement to keep going further and people are very angry organism brotherhood as well are very angry because the government has in force a new occurring in law the protest law which sees demonstrations have to get permission from police before they can go ahead in addition of escalated on christmas day when the authorities decided to declare the mission brotherhood a terrorist organization anyone who helps them as a brotherhood in their marches or even has literature supporting them could get a five year jail sentences organizers of these demonstrations could face execution so there was a lot of anger on the streets and on the behalf of the supporters of mohamed morsi who is going to trial on the eighth of january so this is another event that's on the horizon angering these protesters on the streets and making egypt quite a volatile place we really with this constitution referendum and also the trial on
7:17 am
horizon we expect this to get worse in the coming days and the average military crackdown on the muslim brotherhood hasn't brought any closer to democracy says political analyst ivan eland. certainly the muslim brotherhood is no ideal group of people but. you know they there they were elected by the egyptian people and if aid egypt is to be moved to democracy i think they'll probably have to be led to rule egypt but of course they're not being allowed to rule and the military has taken over and the military seems harsher than even the mubarak regime which was in power before the arab spring started so i don't see much public support in egypt for the military government there's a lot of the sentence egypt that's bubbling under the surface so i think the prospects for democracy in egypt are virtually nil right now. and you want to see

international and still to come fair payment or barking mad idea of police force in the u.k. wants to pay pensions to retired police dogs but a plan hasn't gone down too well with the bobbies a saying cutbacks. stadiums hotels recreation zones are all ready to welcome fans and athletes to the southern russian city of sochi for the winter olympics but if there is one thing missing none of the rest will matter and that snow there is no reason to be worried as we find out. that's the biggest challenge facing so she's organizes making sure there's plenty after one thing the games hunting without snow the new rosa khutor alpine resort to reach is over five thousand feet making it one of the biggest lifts of mountains in the world concerns about
7:19 am
a snow less the lympics were raised up to to test the benson so she had to be canceled last february because there wasn't enough the temperatures here rarely falls below freezing but snow is being guaranteed and here's how sixteen million cubic feet of snow has been stored and europe's biggest snow making system is in place weather stations make sure the organizers know when they're going to have to act as mother nature themselves now we care for the field of play almost done so it's more than one meter of snow right now on the slopes so this is this is the main this is the main task there are four different forms of technology that have been used to ensure the snow a snow vault has been storing snow thought over a year under special blankets keeping it from defrosting. there are hundreds of snow cannons scattered around the slopes they use water from the mountain lakes to make artificial snow
7:20 am
a special kind of snow salt is also being used as glue when and if the snow melts and finally mountain gutters these pipes will gather snow falling at the highest peaks transported down to the slopes wade will get an axe should boost without official snow of course technology is also being utilized by the competitors going for gold. i'm in charge of ski lubricants including solid and liquid ones we're basically trying to figure out which lubricants would provide the maximum acceleration in the saatchi snow so that later we could share our findings with the services that are supposed to prepare the equipment. yes the olympic games professional athletes use custom made sports equipment to maximize performance and to make sure it caters to the exact needs the russian t.v. uses ski specifically designed and shaped on comping machines they take into account weight strength aggressiveness body type who size and.
7:21 am
each is waxed to make sure they slide faster than their competitors or even designated wex is on hand to help now that we've seen our snowboard go through the process of getting clean two we're now at the final stage of the stage we're going to actually wax it we're using wax as well as hot and all you really have to do is this now what this does is that it covers the holes that are on the board and once those holes are covered with wax you then slide the hot i'm over it it's almost kind of like ironing out the snowboard and this is done for performance wise so when you're out on the slopes you're going to be foster. with a little bit of crap. every country has its own ski program made up of experts to help the athletes perform at their highest level each it's top secret and far too
7:22 am
technical for the likes of me time to test out the mint and the snow the artificial snow does seem different in texture but in terms of performance the difference is minimal but then again i'm not trying to win a medal not enough slow look around that double almost all the top of longer log off at the bar. meanwhile the olympic sites are getting a high profile look over president wouldn't tested out the slopes together with prime minister dmitry medvedev as a clock ticks down to the seventh of february we'll be bringing you more on why the olympic city has a store so stay with r t international for more on that. sochi more of the twenty fourteen olympics what's this place like why is it so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the games should be the city's present and
7:23 am
future what more sochi will bring you this is the moment there we brought you from a very cold and snowy windy mountains to be on the olympics with the bomb let's say. on our. house take a look at some other stories from around the world an assault on a joint afghan naval base in east of galveston and has left one soldier dead five taliban fighters tried to answer the compound after a suicide bomber blew himself up at the base and turns all the attackers were killed in the firefight. now last week taliban militants launched a suicide attack on a nato military convoy in kabul killing three soldiers. opposition activist in bangladesh have torched dozens of polling stations and clashed with police had of sunday's parliamentary elections they say the polls will be rigged
7:24 am
and demand a neutral caretaker ministration to oversee the process the government has so far refused to agree reports say dozens of people have died in recent weeks of protests . just what you are to international now it's a dog's life for some aging police dogs but when their service is over most of the animals remain without official support and that's why one u.k. force has decided to pay pensions for their retired four legged agents and initiative that's provoked a real debate or two sarah ferguson find out why. ah. they may be man's best friend but their rules say an expensive piece of police kits well now for the first time in the u.k. and one police has decided that the police dogs should be awarded pensions when they retire under the plan's nottinghamshire police dogs who receive vets costs of up to five hundred pounds a year for the first three years after leaving the. dogs. or

working. for the police force for six or seven years when the. police officer. and the police officer. horrified the police officer. but at a time when cuts to services have meant police officers out of work the taxpayer funded scheme has been receiving mixed responses it is a strange one. i think it probably does. everybody everything is being cut back in the public service it just seems a bit strange that a police force is paying the same amount of money for drugs they do a very specialised function pretty important when it comes to pretty important when it comes to public order a very very important in the battle against drugs but actually what their
7:26 am
greatest. feature is that they're a very visible form of policing and the public really like see. so it's a really really important part of how british policing operates nothingism so police have defended the scheme saying that it's right and proper that the hard work that the police dogs do. and it's fair to say that the u.k. is a nation of animal lovers but some campaigners have blasted the skiing saying that to award the. penchants at the time of the star it's a it's quite simply and you know what's coming. the london and coming out energy international next kaiser lays bare more bankers scheming and watching in the u.k. it's george galloway splitting.
7:27 am
up recently the federal reserve system celebrated its one hundredth birthday you know the big con game that just a few years ago no one seem to know about has been in place for one hundred years so let's celebrate the federal reserve by remembering all their accomplishments since nine hundred thirteen firstly they've managed to take the printing of money out of the hands of the u.s. government and thus out of the hands of u.s. voters i what it comes to money who needs to mock received representation anyways they also managed to whittle away the dollars tagging the gold until nixon finally said forget gold let's print our way out of vietnam because there's no link between the dollar and gold the purchasing power of the dollar has reduced by at least twenty three times since the fed came into being lovely but what about the next hundred years well if the recent rounds of quantitative easing are any sign of things to come then we're going to be seeing a lot more inflation and big private bankers getting richer while we all get poorer
7:28 am
bad people generally don't survive one hundred years but bad systems sadly can go on and on and on forever but that's just my opinion. i am backscratcher welcome to the kaiser report the ball gary ns and romanians are
