sentenced dozens to dash but he refused to listen to eye witnesses. to any evidence so he sat me down has been some questions raised about the legality of the trial and that's what the difference now is that going forward they say they will appeal the verdict and hope that it will be overturned on the grounds that the judge behaved in the early this is coming in the background of a crackdown against them is about to hit the state blames think group which they found for a lot of the violence across the country they say it's a terrorist organization the mission brotherhood for their part say they are remaining peaceful and will hold demonstrations against this verdict without any violence now egypt's new president i don't fatah sisi has promised peace and unity in the country however is yet to be seen how it's going to happen when we have very controversial court cases and death sentences like they say we'll have to see in the coming few weeks where the egypt will be able to get through this though true force there now huge pressure was put on the muslim brotherhood after a military coup in two thousand and thirteen the new government resorted to death sentences for those accused of extremism as

a method of intimidation now human rights groups say almost twenty one thousand people have been imprisoned since july and in april nearly seven hundred people were convicted today in preliminary hearings although less than a third of those sentences were upheld now months later the court ordered the execution of more than five hundred prisoners but that same judge later confirmed only around forty of those death sentences hugh miles an award winning journalist and author thinks that the latest ruling will provoke more violence in the country . the protests continue. to be very tough environment here many people have been arrested because they're they've been diminished but they continue to be in remote areas become very good i think the real effect of this ruling is to push young people into the arms of extremist groups. that. group by the muslim brotherhood and it's going to. not giving much political. scene

well young people but one demographically but then probably going away from the result is the people growing by. getting results if you like. coming up we had to iraq where a million people have been displaced by an insurgency sweeping through the country according to the united nations and it is feared this is the number will continue to grow and islamist as islamist militants and iraqi security forces battle for control later in the program we'll bring you the latest details and developments. a russian border guard has been injured after a frontier checkpoint with ukraine was shelled that despite the peace plan signed by the ukrainian president which includes a week long cease fire now it is not clear who is responsible for this latest attack the incident took place as self-defense forces clash with government troops in the country's east r.t. spoke to one of the witnesses i wanted to help people who are crossing from ukraine

so i went to the border to offer my systems there were lots of children in the refugee camp and i brought them sweets to cheer them up i heard the gunfire as i was coming up to the border people were screaming and running there was 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 fire. during the fighting around eighty ukrainian border guards fell back into russian territory where they were where they then asked for shelter six of them were wounded all have now been safely handed back to ukraine according to the country's border officials one anti-government leader has said that they will be allowed to return to duty at the frontier meanwhile russia has put some sixty five thousand troops on alert to check their readiness for action they're taking part in a week of drills in the center of the country. russian president vladimir putin has lend his support to the ukrainian leaders peace plan which includes

a cease fire but he said of the strategy is unlikely to work with no clear steps towards opening negotiation with the opposition in the country's east and russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov shares the president's concerns. peace plan has a number of automates in light demands it lacks the most important thing the negotiations and that's a radical step away from the geneva agreement which he supports is in there it's all work at least some partners including the us the e.u. and the ukrainian authorities coal miners and workers in eastern ukraine are taking up arms and swearing allegiance to the self-proclaimed republic they say they don't trust president poroshenko peace plan. was at the ceremony which saw the new members sworn into the ranks. 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 need for the fischel 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 quick to 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. were given ultimatum to the key of june tough 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 making good and . then you get created 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 coal miners have made good on their promise to leave but work and take up arms in case present a part time go does not stop the operation within twenty four hours today here on and then in square in done. soldiers gave an oath of allegiance to the people's republic of donetsk roman coffer a party that's ukraine. months of military action has forced tens of thousands had to flee to neighboring russia hundreds queue at the border seeking shelter in refugee camps you can hear some of their stories at our t.v. dot com. need to the world's most expensive weapon the four hundred billion dollar after thirty five an

aircraft whose price tag just went even higher thanks to additional funding played by a delay plagued by delays massive cost overruns and bloating bureaucracy these jets left even its top backers somewhat underwhelmed and to cover the price the plane is now being touted to foreign buyers as well as art is more important 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 up. 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 in the more they have to go ahead in any of these countries that want to because i 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. we have thirty five has suffered one setback after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded and testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak but the engines are not the only area that this aircraft is having problems with in fact as you can see here the plane has been suffering well documented cracks from nose to tail and the pentagon even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a funder storm out of fears its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning now we spoke to the man who helped to design the iconic f. sixteen and eighteen aircrafts 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 a single mission and then they made it even worse place saying that we saved money

by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the airplane in different directions and now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial points of view of the airplane it was a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken. now distain for a promotional campaign coming up the u.s. offers hard cash for ideas on how to gain support for its trade agreement with europe but gets only a stream of sarcasm and condemnation. and the ugly side of the beautiful game later we sort fact from fiction surrounding the infamous hooligan antics of russia's football fans. thousands of britons are marching on parliament demanding an alternative to austerity among the protesters

there's no volume in bonds because there is no market in bonds because bonds are trading at three hundred year highs here in the u.k. at two hundred forty year. in the u.s. they are well confiscation certificates for sure they represent no value whatsoever the only people buying these bonds are the computers. themselves or other computers and this is part of the takeover of civilization by the machines. there's a media leave though so we leave the. potions to cure. for the visible . shoes that no one is asking with to get what you deserve answers from. politics.

welcome back you're watching r t international now if you cannot convince them just offer cold hard cash that's what the u.s. government is doing promising a large awards to anyone who can come up with ways of promoting an unpopular trade pact with europe but the campaign hasn't worked out as planned as peter oliver 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 and vajra mentalist trade 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 there's 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 of this tweet and well it's kind of 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 regulatory differences between the u.s. and the e.u. as predicted boost of around two hundred fifty billion dollars to america and europe collective g.d.p. would expand both economies but critics say all this comes at too high of a price for. corporations would use the agreement to gain too much power over government and that taxpayers would end up footing the bill for anything that goes wrong the sheer size of the new trade zone and the lack of transparency would make it much harder for to hold companies accountable for breaching regulations michael

shank of the washington based friends committee on national legislation believes it is a step backwards while it'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 particularly on trade because we don't have many barriers between us and e.u. already so when we're doing t.j. 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 while japanese fans come out of the competition with a gleaming reputation the same can't be said of supporters from other countries fifa is looking at punishing several nations for their fans abusive or insulting behavior at the world cup and russian crowds are one of the group singled out.

takes a look now at how russian football hooliganism has changed over the years. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this. or this. one of your first of all because in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spotlight was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight right 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 in russia to get 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 you look at them compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was

considered one of the nation's prides history's best goalkeeper left us 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 this surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have remained visible from violent pitch invasions to mass treat rallies and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and 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. politically motivated people have always been close to find groups not only have a propaganda the cult of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why i know c.v.s. a popular there because force and violence are the bases of naziism and fascism but

former hooligan and founder of russia's largest fan movement their market and i have believes the issue is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved even before they appear. who 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 who are going to communities so there's no danger from them in russia these fights happen every weekend but no one knows if they happen out of town in forests and strictly upon agreement on. 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 the days 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 holds the next world cup in twenty. moscow. to other news now local authorities say that jihad is the islamic state of iraq and syria group has seized another four cities in the west of iraq close to syria's border that's as the country finds itself on the brink of a humanitarian crisis with the 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 planning several countries and now control of large parts of iraq including of the second largest city mosul and it's now closing in on baghdad as well meanwhile the first of three hundred u.s. military advisers promised by washing tune to aid in the iraqi security forces are due to arrive later but middle east expert joshua landis believes that the u.s.

is reluctant to push this too far in view of the catastrophic results of the two thousand and three invasion you can watch a full interview in worlds apart here on r t but here's a quick preview this entire isis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in attacking iraq and casting down the cinese 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 sydney's turn send the 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. on to another war torn nation now afghanistan's presidential election was supposed to bring about of the country's first ever democratic transfer of power but stability in afghanistan seems a long way away hundreds of afghans have rallied in kabul in the support of a presidential candidate abdullah abdullah who pulled out of the elections accusing the government of rigging the vote they are calling on president karzai to step down and are demanding officials react to allegations of ballot stuffing this comes as a suicide bomber set off a bomb in the capital killing one civilian and injuring several more. now some other stories making headlines around the world flash flooding and mudslides on both garry's black sea coast have left twelve people dead many others are still thought to be missing the raging waters brought down power lines and flooded roads in the resort city of the downpour is part of a storm system that has been churning across southern europe causing tornados in

italy and greece. european countries were not the only ones to face natural disaster at least twenty two people have become victims of rain storms in china heavy downpours head south provinces affecting three million people and forcing thousands to evacuate the country's economy is now counting huge losses had tears of crops have been severely damaged as well for the brains of such ferocity occur in china once in a century. coming up next on our to find out why government bonds might not be worth the paper they're printed printed on in the kaiser report and if you are turning in from london our documentary examines of the horrific history of genetic experiments on humans dating back to the nazi era stay 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 or 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 ears until you wait yet another few 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 or willing attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and 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. crosstalk rules and if they're going to you can jump in anytime you want.
