and the direction of court confirms the largest sun signs in the country's recent history with almost two hundred muslim brotherhood members executed including the group's spiritual leader. a russian border checkpoint comes under ukrainian army shelling even as the cease fire is the clarity of the peace plan looks for like an ultimatum. the price of the world's most expensive just once years behind schedule and billions over the f. thirty five was trashed by the designer of one of america's most iconic planes. between the rich and the poor is now larger in this country but it was one queen

victoria was on the throne thousands of britons marched on parliament demanding an end to the calls they believe have brought the country's poor and middle classes to their knees. that's when i am in the russian capital you watch an artsy international with me marina welcome to the program on the direction courts has upheld death sentences handed down to almost two hundred muslim brotherhood members they're accused of attacking a police station in two thousand and thirteen so after president mohamed morsi was ousted the draconian sentences have sparked international outrage as bell true reports. well egypt is bracing itself for possible further violence in the very least mass street demonstrations by the families now this case has sparked a local and international uproar the judge reportedly only had one session before

he sentenced dozens to dash and he refused to listen to eye witnesses. to any evidence so certainly there has been some questions raised about the legality of the trial and that's what the french know is that going forward they say they will appeal the verdict and that it will be overturned on the grounds that the judge behaved immediately cover this is coming in the background of a crackdown against the misbehaved. it's great for safe bond for a lot of the violence across the country they say the terrorist organization the mission brotherhood for that part say they are remaining peaceful and will hold demonstrations against this verdict without any violence egypt's new president i don't forgot to see has promised peace and unity in the country however is yet to be seen how that's going to happen when we have a very controversial court cases i'm def sentences like this so you will have to see in the coming few weeks where the egypt will be able to get through this. well huge pressure will spots on the muslim brotherhood after a military coup in two thousand and thirteen the new government for what's it's a death sentence is for those accused of extremism as

a method of intimidation and human rights groups i almost twenty one thousand people have been imprisoned since july and in april nearly seven hundred people were convicted so that in the preliminary hearing although a less than a third of those sides and says were a paladin a month earlier a court ordered the execution of more than five hundred prisoners but the same judge later confirmed only around forty of those tough sentences humorless an award winning journalist and author thanks this latest polling will provoke more violence the protests continue and the very calm environment here many people are being arrested because they say they are going to manage but they continue to be in remote areas become free but i think the real fact is reading it is to push young people into the arms of the extremists great. proof of the muslim brotherhood is going to be. not given much because by seen

all young people took one demographically taking away from the result is the people she's going to join. this baby is getting by while getting results like. coming up we head to iraq where a million people have been displaced by the insurgency sweeping through the country according to the u.n. and it's fear that number will continue to grow as islamist militants and iraqi security forces battle for control later in the program we'll bring you the very latest developments. the russian border guard has been injured after france or check points with ukraine was shelled that's despite the peace plan signed by the ukrainian president which includes a week long cease fire it's not clear who was responsible for the attack the incident took place as self-defense forces clashed with government troops in the country's east r.t. managed to speak to one of the witnesses. from ukraine so i went to the border to

offer my sister the looks of children in the refugee camp and i brought them sweets to cheer them up i heard the gun far as i was coming up to the border people were screaming and running there were several gunshots it was very scary to see women and children crying for some time and when i came back to the checkpoint was on. they were in the fighting around eighty craney and border guards fell back into the russian's harriet's ory where they asked for shelter six of them were wounded or have now been safely handed back to ukraine according to the country's border officials one answer government leader has said there will be allowed to return to duty on the frontier meanwhile russia has put some sixty five thousand troops on alert to check their readiness for action there taken points in a week of drills in the center of the country. russian president vladimir putin has lent his support to the ukrainian leaders peace plan which includes a cease fire but he said the strategies are likely to work with no clear steps

towards open in the goshi ation with the opposition in the country's east and russia's foreign minister shares the president's concerns. you know the peace plan has a number of automating like demands it lacks the most important thing those negotiations and that's a radical step away from the geneva agreement which is supported in their rhetorical at least by all our western partners including the us the e.u. and the ukrainian authorities. coal miners and workers and they certainly are crying are taking up arms and swearing allegiance to the self-proclaimed then yes quite public they say they don't trust president poroshenko peace plan r.t. is wrong cos i was at the ceremony which saw the new members sworn into their ex. only a matter of weeks ago these men were digging for their country today they're taking up arms against it these miners are the latest recruits for the uniformed official army of the self-proclaimed people's republic of donetsk. so just yesterday we were

all wearing mine is uniforms and mining calls today we joined the ranks of the militia to protect our motherland and i loved ones and to stop the killings of children women and the elderly the defense force has been quickly drawn together in a bid to counter the government's crackdown on the eastern provinces even before the troubles began these men had made repeated complaints to kiev about were conditions low wages and the money from the wealthy industrial region going straight to the central authorities. but now those very authorities are firing shells at them the miners say they have no choice but to defend their families. as it were given ultimatum to the key of june to offer its punitive actions will give them a day to stop the crackdown two days to withdraw troops it appears the word coal miners doesn't mean anything to them but unlike them we miners and are making good in our words then you to create it armed forces have only the most basic of

equipment and. sport but when it comes to defending their loved ones they're ready to use whatever it takes the coal miners have made good on their promise to leave work and pick up arms in case present a partial go does not stop the operation within twenty four hours today here on then a square in donetsk. soldiers gave an oath of allegiance to the people's republic of donetsk ramon coffer r.t. ukraine. months of military action has forced tens of thousands to flee to neighboring russia hundred skill at the border seeking shelter and rough camps and you can hear some of their stories on our t.v. dot com. now meet the world's most expensive weapon the four hundred billion dollar at thirty five and their craft whose price tag just went even higher thanks to additional funding plagued by delays massive cost overruns and bloating bureaucracy the jets left even

that's top backers some want on their well and soak up the price the plane is now being sued sets of foreign buyers as artie's marina portnoy and now explains the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crime to look ram of military planes. and the pentagon's most expensive conventional weapons program it's a game changer the f. thirty five fighter jet is manufactured by lockheed martin combining state of the art technology with highly advanced avionics and maneuverability the pentagon plans to buy nearly twenty five hundred f. thirty five but delays and cost increases have left u.s. lawmakers frustrated over the three hundred eighty five billion dollar price tag and that's where america's allies come in. lockheed martin has turned to international partners at least eight foreign contracts are on the table but none have a final price tag so far canada's latest calculations have only proved that the cost

will be at least ten billion dollars higher than expected experts suggest f. thirty five are something of a gamble for everyone involved there's never been anything anywhere near as expensive and the entire process is one in which the costs can only go. the other problem is that the more they spend in the more the united states and the manufacturer and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested a bit more they have to go ahead in any of these countries that want to be kind of feel that they have no choice boosting demand from foreign investors is believed to be essential for the pentagon and lockheed martin why because the more f. thirty five are produced the cheaper each jet is to build and maintain her in a porsche nine party. the f. thirty five has suffered after another in the most recent case the entire fleets

was grounded in testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak but the engines are not the only area this aircraft is experiencing problems and issues because as you're about to see here the plane has been suffering well documented cracks from head to scale the pensacola even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm and also fears its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning well we spoke to the man who helped design the iconic at sixteen and a ten aircraft and he had little good to say about the f. thirty five it's one of the worst airplanes we've ever designed. for a lot of reasons but the most important reason is that it was compromised by having to do three different jobs you can never make a good airplane if you don't focus on a single job a single mission and then they made it even worse by saying that we saved money by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the

airplane in different directions now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial points of view the airplane is a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken. the stain for a promo campaign coming up the u.s. offers hard cash for ideas on how to gain support for its trade agreements with your boss it gets only a stream of sarcasm and condemnation. also the ugly side of the beautiful game later with swords fact from fiction surrounding the infamous holy going to. football fans. but first thousands of britons are marching on parliaments demanding an alternative to austerity among the protesters are politicians celebrities and union leaders all upset with the blanket austerity imposed by london arts the surfer of reports from among the crowd. it will be until

search the protesters making their way to central london at the moment if you take a look behind me you can see the crowds that it turns out i don't use a full day for a little very serious message from nice he taken to london's please now the people he gathered today protesting against government cars and if you take a look at some of the signs there's a whole range of this cheese everything from education to talk of the i don't know what they really are asking for the outsider to have to also tell you the real terms of the quality of the u.k. has being to do that people here say that they see no real benefit in their living standards and that's what they want to see they know we're on our take or stop in the crowd with our own james he's a member but he doesn't remember to try to make sense of exactly what the horses a day it's all about too long just for a living son this is the choice in the eighty seven seas over

a million workers driven into poverty since the quake come and live in where you have an army of zero. people strictly job security this is the finish the fight for a living wage fight for housing fight for workers' rights to fight the public ownership of the banks to tax justice against tax avoidance and so on and that's really at the heart of this whilst the government will say the economy has been on the up that has been improving but a lot of people here say that they've seen as a result of the cuts that have been voted to give the economy a living standard so for the so those are the stories you're going to hear today as people have taken to the streets the central lines of the protest against austerity . and have more news coming your way including infighting among sunni islamic extremists as they march on the iraqi capital to stay with us we'll be back after a short break. hello.

they are looking very hard. to. do that back with that earthquake there's no.

such a big. if you can convince them just all for a cold hard cash that's exactly what the u.s. government says there were and promising large for awards so anyone who can come up with ways of promoting an unpopular trade pact with europe but the campaign has worked out its plan this pete all of our explains. the united states has been accused of a cynical propaganda campaign after a tweet originated from its embassy just behind me here. this tweet was with regard to the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between europe and the united states now the tweet was offering up to twenty thousand u.s. dollars for any projects people could come up that would protect the treat deal in

a good light though it has come in for some scathing criticism from people here in europe mostly because of worries over a decrease in standards the standards for products in europe are far higher than they are in the united states also on workers' rights as well now this is seen environmentalist environmentalists trade unions and health campaign is all railing against this trade deal to put that into perspective of the public opinion here in europe when it comes to the environment ninety six percent of germans say they have faith in european environmental regulation well only two percent believe in regulations inforced in the united states has also been controversy surrounding genetically modified foods not liked here in europe people have demonstrated against them however there is concern that because of u.s. labeling laws they could inadvertently become into the european markets so all of

these things the same criticism all of this well it's kind of backfired they have come in for far more criticism online because of this. investment partnership deal comes with plenty of bold promises trade barriers would disappear along with any regular regulatory differences between the u.s. and the e.u. predicted boost of around two hundred fifty billion dollars to america and europe's collective g.d.p. which would expand both economies but critics say all this comes out too high a price they fear corporations would use the agreements to gain too much power over governments and that's hax players would end up footing the bill for anything that goes wrong their sheer size of the new trade zone and the lack of transparency would make it much harder to hold companies to account for breach of regulations michael shank of the washington based friends committee on national legislation believes it's a step backwards. well that's good for investors it's bad for health it's bad for

the environment it's bad for labor and it's bad for regulations that countries and states have worked for decades to institute so those are some of the biggest concerns and what it says to russia or what it says to china with the t p p is that we don't want you a part of this conversation and in this very globalized interconnected world particular in trade because we don't have many barriers between us and you already so when we're doing to tip it's not really about removing trade barriers because the tariffs are quite low it's about saying to the rest of the world we have this partnership it's exclusive and you're not going to be a part of it. online right now it's a call to disaster more than four hundred american drones around the world have crashed with each accident calls the millions of dollars worth of damage of court into the washington post you can find out more on our websites. also there japan may have failed to score during their latest world cup match but their fans have left a lasting impression on brazil that's by keeping the stadium spotlessly clean get

the full story and the full picture on artsy. well japanese fans came out of the competition with a gleaming reputation the same can be said of the russian supporters they reportedly displayed they are not seen banners during their side's opening world cup match such offenses come upon their by points deduction zor even expulsion from the tournaments our season looks at us i've skied takes a look now at how russian football hooliganism has reached this point. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this. or this. your first in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spotlight was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight blue warriors came up against us there was more than eight hundred people involved in a brawl but you know and that is just one of the fights i see described now

a retired hooligan he says fan culture has changed massively russia you know if you a stereotype of an english football hooligan or an italian ultras is no longer applied to us we went our own way now there are no loud criminal cases against huge compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's prides history's best goalkeeper left yosh and the team which won the first ever european championship and the police of revolutionary managers with the break up of the soviet union football just as many other spheres of life suffered a major setback it may be a coincidence but along with these problems came whole organism it's still unclear what caused the surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have remained visible from violent pitch invasions to master and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and you know phobia are among the most debated issues back in twenty ten when a fan was killed during fighting in moscow that escalated into ethnic violence

thousands of ultras made themselves heard right outside the walls of the kremlin to look at all politically motivated people who have always been close to find groups not only have they propagandize the cult of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why nazi views of popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but former hooligan and founder of russia's largest fan movement devout than i have believes the. it is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved even before they appear. hooligans spearheaded events at the my down in ukraine some of them are in the national guard now so potentially this is a very dangerous part of society but are all thorgils are pursuing a very clever strategy with hooligan communities so there's no danger from them in russia these fights happen every weekend but no one knows of them they happen out of town in forests and strictly upon agreement. the twenty thirteen movie tells the

story of a firm of hooligans consisting partially of white collar workers where death and destruction rub shoulders with love and friendship one of its characters keeps asking the question why do you fight us but with all of. the movies slogan is we can not change real life has proven they can insist of a sealy it's just a matter of whether the rest of the world will be happy with this evolution of the russian fan culture when the country hosts the next world cup in twenty eighteen let's see moscow. seventeen minutes since have been killed in iraq after fights and broke out between iraqi government forces that islamist radicals from the isis terror group that's as the country finds itself on the brink of a severe humanitarian crisis with a u.n. saying more than one million iraqis have already fled their homes and the number of refugees is only expected to grow isis which wants to establish an islamic state

sprouting several countries is already in control of large parts of iraq including the second largest city mosul and it's now closing in on baghdad meanwhile the first of three hundred u.s. military advisers promised by washington to aid the iraqi security forces are due to arrive later today thoughts mid east that's where joshua landis believes the u.s. is reluctant to push this too far in view of the catastrophic results of the two thousand it was an imitation you can watch the full interview in worlds apart some are here on i'd see but here's a preview this entire crisis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in attacking iraq and casting down the sunnis from the top of society to the bottom destroying the state of iraq which kindled this sectarian struggle the united states is debating today about how much support to give to maliki many

people believe that he is too sectarian that if america supports him it will offend sudanese turn sunni world against the united states and alienate our support in the gulf therefore they're very reluctant to get in with direct military support they would like to get the diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation. well now to another war torn nation of ghana stands presidential election was supposed to bring about the confidence first of a democratic plans for all power however there were all of one of the two remaining candidates after the second round of voting has drawn the capital and suits her moyle vote. still being counted but former foreign minister abdullah abdullah who many had expected so when has pulled out accused in the governmental raygun the ballots hundreds of his supporters took to the streets of kabul blocking the roads and denouncing the rival candidates riot police for the ploy to force the crowd back the dispute has reignited ethnic tensions across afghanistan. now and other

news flash flooding and mudslides humble carious black sea coast have left twelve people dead many others are still thoughts of missing their age in the waters brought down power lines and flooded roads and the resort city of far enough down poorest parts of a storm system that's been churning across their new europe calls and tornadoes and it's only and. that's it from us this hour up next though abby martin looks at the bizarre schemes from the cia and the movement to take money out of politics that's a break in this case they with us. so are we going back to iraq recently violence has flared up as insurgents are taking cities from the current iraqi government and response to this chaos obama

declared that his administration is prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened oh well since the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot their forty seven's over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation declaring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my years of do you wait yet another. two days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control of that awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think

this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion. what about washington getting tougher on its allies like saudi arabia because it's no secret that saudi money was a crucial factor in the rise of the extremist can a bomb or to take it out on the united states would drag their feet they did declare early on in the uprising that al qaeda was a terrorist organization and about the notes and others were terrorist organizations and proscribed them but it did very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to equally prescribe those groups.

i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so recently i broke down some of the craziest cia operations you've probably never heard of and as it turns out now there is one more to add apparently during the cia's search for bin laden the agency hatched a plan to get to distribute a doll resembling the taliban leader in pakistan here's the catch when the dollar is exposed to heat its face melts into a terrifying demon in order to scared children from the real life in london yes this is actually real now how toit never made it past the prototypes. stage this bizarre scheme exposes that even dolls are being used the empire's propaganda war but see the government was indoctrinating children with notions of good and bad long before the bin laden demon doll consider that the same hasbro executive who worked with the cia to create the bin laden action figure was instrumental in the development of g.i. joe.
