a marina joshie welcome to the program of the second and final day of voting is underway in egypt on whether to accept another a new constitution critics say yes result will serve to secure the military's grip on future governments the ousted muslim brotherhood refuses to take part calling it a sham referendum that puts the army before the people violence during day one of the ballot killed eleven people are bell trees and kyra. dictions that once again in the polling stations for a second day on this referendum on the constitution the people behind it so are this interim government and also the military and then the people who stand to gain the most if this is a yes votes and if there is a high ten outs in particular the military is the key articles within this constitution which would cement military power over the civilian states' military trials for civilians will be allowed the military budget will be kept secrets and crucially the appointment of a defense minister will have to be approved by egypt as you print counts of the armed forces which basically means the minutes you be able to veto the decisions by

the presidents now this is worry quite as if you rights groups and also activists you said that this was centrally cause and military state within a state but really the biggest opponents the constitution artem is the brotherhood and supporters of ousted president mohamed morsi who say the whole process is intimate and has made it very tentative no vote count pain which hasn't really been allowed to express itself over the course of the last week six members of the strong egypt part you actually initially but the military too with jailed after they tried to put up posters calling for the country to vote no in the constitution and this is something that people are saying is causing you know causing a real problem here in the referendum as it's really only a yes votes allowed in egypt and of course it is that yes vote the affirmation of the government and the looking for high turnout and a yes vote would be a stamp of approval from the states on that minute she authored political map which they put in place into allied and would see parliamentary and presidential

elections of course this could also pave the way for egypt's the factory leader and forces chief general sisi to run for president he's already expressed interest in doing that we had a similar situation under the former president mohamed morsi when he pressed through his constitutional two thousand and twelve constitution which basically any all his decrees from judicial peel gave themselves you can get thirty and he actually immunize the body that was drafting his constitution from being dissolved . any judicial body i mean this is a brotherhood and his supporters do not recognize the current constitution as they still believe the two thousand and twelve constitution should be in place so they are boycotting at the moment and we spoke to a spokesperson in the midst of brotherhood and to ask them what i positions these make egypt military state these consumption make it the bullycide state otherwise you can consider that. in a state that egypt has an army you can say that gives an army has the state this is

the reality of the sky and of course that you should however there is a sentiment here in the streets of egypt people won the country to move forward after six very difficult and bloody months so we'll have to see what the very turnout is and also how the nation the signs on this constitution but the current circumstances surrounding it doesn't leave much hope for a stable democratic future think egypt now ahead in the program the residents rising up to stop their towns from turfing out their poorest citizens. from northern spain where around our road has escalated into riots about displacing low income families. the man in charge of britain's finances has given the e.u. a dressing down telling brussels behaviors that it's declining and needs an urgent overhaul george osborne was addressing think tank in europe when he also warned dad the u.k. will pull out of the e.u. fails to reform itself lora smith has details. said europe's like

a burning building with no exit basically he sees the political block as falling behind india and china overspending on welfare becoming less and less competitive centrally in the economic and political bloc in decline domestically of course here in the u.k. the e.u. is losing popularity people say it's very expensive increasingly power hungry and also the originator of an awful lot of red tape but also one central message today was that the u.k. is not pushing for reform for its own sake oh no it's pushing for reform for everybody else's sake for europe's sake as a whole so he was talking about the tabling of legal challenges a year peer course of justice he said it's not anti european but in fact it's a way of preserving values that traditionally seem to be european such as known discrimination he talked about the calling for rejection of the financial services reform which of course includes a cap on bankers' bonuses which is quite controversial here in the u.k.

because london competes with new york and hong kong it's not competing inside europe and anything that damages the city of london also damages london also damages europe as a whole hey he is george osborne summing up for his central message was some on the continent like to assume this is just the u.k. pursuing its own self interest of the expense of the collective good. but it's the opposite if we cannot protect the collective interests of northern euro zone member states then they will have to choose between joining the euro which the u.k. will not do or leaving the european union and these rifts and these calls for reform between a number of people in opening up the latest is a introducing more human rights since the u.k. in fact brussels has talked about imposing the charter of human rights on all its member countries which would possibly mean legal challenges to businesses and to government the u.k. already up to that in nine hundred ninety eight so the government is sort of like

going back into the past and doing something again and that's the latest in a in a long line of proposals that brussels tries to ramp up the political union inside the political integration george osborne's message on the message of the conservative party here in the u.k. as a whole is reform or die in britain there are some portraits of the powerful that are proving to unpalatable for taxpayers but i have no interest. in seeing paintings of politicians and the country's great and good have blown a tiny someone getting themselves immortalized in oils which count as the public patrons of the arts to see what they think about them. you one calls for britain how about tans of thousands of syria's most desperate refugees are falling on deaf ears despite the u.k.'s massive efforts to aid the rebels fighting the syrian regime it's proving not so quick to help resettle those

displaced by deadly violence now reports. increasingly extreme humanitarian suffering there is a humanitarian crisis so britain is leading the way with humanitarian support but some might wonder whether it actually is the u.k. has committed five hundred million pounds of aid that's to assist syria's neighbors like lebanon jordan turkey and iraq cope with the sheer number of refugees but that as far as it's willing to go the u.k. has been criticized for. refugee agency the appeal to work for syrians fleeing the conflict despite calls to open its doors for now why answer is no the latest count more than two million syrian refugees are at the borders of neighboring countries this is. not just. on the. concert shared by seventeen other nations who've said yes

it's hard to understand why they're taking this position given that this is something that we have done in the past problems the conflict in the balkans we took in thousands of kosovo. i fear that there may may be domestic emigration considerations that is influencing this come slap in the middle of a political climate at a national mood that's increasingly wary of anyone coming through the door we already have accepted a number of we have except i think about one thousand five hundred asylum seekers that is a fact we've shaky said it is a fact that we have accepted hundreds and hundreds of individuals from syria but factually speaking the un's most recent request is that countries all for resettlement places for people who are still stuck in the region which does not include the fifteen hundred nick clegg says of apply for asylum in britain what the un has asked for is over and above the commitment in international law david

cameron has called a serious friend and he's called this a refugee refugee crisis of our time in recognition of. the u.k. would respond to us or sylvia our t. london. a major donors conference is taking place in kuwait as part of a u.n. appeal to raise six point five billion dollars for struggling syrian civilians the largest aid appeal in the organization's history but it's also claimed that the refugee crisis is being used by some countries to push their own agendas in syria you have to be in the globe when it's convenient and and it's. playing along with the game there really don't have any say in anything if everyone gave them to the refugees that there would be no more emergency gives the whole serious issue moral from memphis is when you have refugees suffering the governments can claim to their citizens that they're really need to go in and help as we know nature did in libya

and they tried to do that in syria recently and other developments in syria damascus claims that western intelligence agencies have been to the city to discuss the radical groups fighting president assad syria's deputy foreign minister suspects there is a rift between politicians and intelligence communities in some western countries that have been calling for us to go the growth of islamist militants among rebel groups is causing international concern with foreign militants arriving from europe and the u.s. . a wave of bombings in iraq have killed at least fifty two people in baghdad in the northern city of baquba the worst attacks eighteen people die when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a funeral procession the u.n. says over five hundred people have been killed this month alone while last year proved to be iraq's deadliest year since two thousand and eight there's a continuing standoff between the iraqi army annele qaeda linked militants have been in control of the city of fallujah for more than

a week now and today's breaking was sent on our t.v. allan martin looks at who's to blame for how the situations unfolding. last week al qaeda and militants took control of the iraqi cities of ramadi and fallujah after days of nonstop violence according to independent iraqi news agency house while we broke three hundred seventy people have died in just the last ten days all about numbers hard to verify considering how bodies are not being taken to the morgue and instead excluded from official death counts you may remember fallujah as one of the primary deadly battleground during the height of the u.s. occupation so what is the fall of the city signify for not only the progress of iraq but the region as a whole joining me now to discuss is eugene career ordinator for the answer coalition thank you so much for coming on metal thank you so much for having me so you jeanne what the main factors that are contributing to your failed state of iraq today well i think the key factor that we have to mention is that the occupation of iraq by the united states fundamentally destabilize the country the united states just completely disassembled the iraqi state as it existed and not only didn't

really put anything in place but actually set up a structure which made it sort of bit official for forces to become more the cereal to divide along sectarian and other sorts of lines of what we're seeing now is the real fruits of all of these time bombs land mines that were set by the u.s. occupation. one of the internet's founding principles was that there was equal access to all online but it seems that's not good enough for us federal court scrapping net neutrality it's granted internet providers the power to rule web traffic and decide for themselves who gets to jump the queue it means the biggest companies can get their hands on the bulk of web surfers and it could mean that new online services or those not willing to pay to broadband network providers like rise in our

contacts could find speeds held back or could even be blocked the ruling was pushed by rising well. as one of america's largest mobile phone operators and telecoms providers activist accuse it of turning the vibrant web until money spinning cable t.v. operation so advocacy campaigner toddled doyle says consumers and start of services are the biggest losers i think the biggest implication potentially is for content providers and for innovation we know that the innovation is flourished online because the small players have equal access to consumers as of this rolling a big company like rising could strike a deal with a video service and make a partner deal with them so that their content would always be delivered more quickly that makes it difficult for the next start to get started if the decision is left unchallenged then there's nothing really stopping from that service provider from blocking access to specific content and if you block access to the

most important online social organizing tools it may impact what they're able even to say and how they can connect and communicate so absolutely there are startling free speech concerns here while we can bank town job hunting in france is more about beauty than brains to state. the work is fierce and some apple can say they have been cast out because literally their faces don't fit well we'll hear their story after the breaks down go away. when you're followed around when you are being investigated because of the whim of someone this is the beginning of the end of your freedom. to say routinely intercept american citizens'. text message use you know. where the calls

text messages so you just can't see everything without my knowledge thankfully basically and there's no legal absolutely yes when you bareback with the internet your bare back with big brother.

welcome back you're watching r t international britain's hard pressed taxpayers are mostly fine with helping to fund the arts but that might change now that their m.p.'s have been found dipping into the public purse to get themselves immortalized on canvas and in bronze toigo has been looking into vanity fair. they say a picture is worth a thousand words but in the case of the u.k. parliament it's more like a quarter of a million pounds it's been revealed that since ninety ninety five m.p.'s have splurged two hundred and fifty thousand pounds on commissioning portraits of fellow parliamentarians to adorn the walls of the houses of parliament behind me take for example work and pensions secretary ian duncan smith his portrait cost ten thousand pounds a painting of foreign secretary william hague that cost four thousand pounds and

a relatively small portrays have left wing m.p. diane abbott well that set back the taxpayer eleven thousand and seven hundred and fifty pounds the same amount that it cost to commission a life size bronze statue of barrenness that chair it turns out i think people will expect the parliament jewels or it used to have portrayed of prime ministers or former speaker of the house of commons but looking at the list of people who have been immortalized on canvas or in broad so over the last decade or two they're costing them a very wide and i think question as to exactly who is getting this privilege and whether it's worth taxpayers' money being spent on much well the facts as you go knowledge obviously painters a politician however talk of austerity possibly don't the best idea there are some things that cultural an artistic things that are worth paying the money for of the public purse because they. can be seen by everyone. but i have no interest

in seeing in seeing paintings of politicians and surely that i could have found the money some other way whether it be a charity you know. private donations but it does seem. to come from you know you come from us as an art lover i think it's quite good because we saw the documentation of part of history and they can talk about it in the future. they you know they commission to these things and it was really risky at the time because they were in a lot of debt in response to criticism over the paintings of coleman spokesman said that the annual budget has been reduced in light of the economic downturn but despite this just one politician who initially agreed to have her portrait painted later pulled out off to press inquiries regarding the cost she said she considered the big picture and no longer felt it was appropriate to splash all that public cash in times of austerity party boy artsy.

political analyst told us the events in bor grassmere of the situation nationwide during the current severe recession. the demonstrators say that they will continue . protesting against this project because they they still don't believe that he's going to be withdrawn the reason why people are so angry specifically because doesn't fit with the current situation of austerity of cutbacks seen in services this is an area which has suffered from those cutbacks in public services recently so people they say they prefer to have schools and hospitals rather than parking lots this is a very conservative c.t.s. this is the other small city in space but it happens something like that in a city like hudler so this is probably. one of the symptoms of how problematic is speed to situation on the whole in the whole of space. and in other news around the world this hour masses of protesters in thailand are

a pretty blonde and an overweight or aging woman between someone of french origin and someone with african roots which means that discrimination by beauty and age is even more pronounced than race or origin based discrimination but no one pays any real attention to it. france and belgium and the only european countries where these type of discrimination is against the law physical appearance is i'm a nineteen criteria that employers are not allowed to base their decision on sink into this is a very dangerous tendency people are pushed away from the market not because of a lack of qualifications but because of their hate weight or color of their eyes the person responsible for this cremation based on physical appearance could face up to three years in prison or pay a forty five thousand here a fine but people don't even consider it discrimination it's considered normal and it's world wide wasn't. a number of associations in france as well as world wide
