so he sat me down has been some questions raised about the legality of the trial and that's all the difference now is that going forward they say they will appeal the verdict but it will be a good time on the grounds that the judge behaves in the belief however this is coming in the background over crackdown against the misbehaves the state blames the gripper state bound 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 think that sisi 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 and death sentences like this so you will have to see in the coming few weeks where the egypt will be able to get through this bill true for us there now huge pressure was put on of the muslim brotherhood after a mature military coup in two thousand and thirteen the new government resorted to death sentences for those accused of extremism as a method of intimidation and human rights groups say almost twenty one thousand

people have been imprisoned since july and in april nearly seven hundred people were convicted to death in a preliminary hearing although less than a third of those sentences were upheld 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 death sentences huge in my queue miles an award winning journalist and author thinks the latest ruling will provoke more violence. the protests continue. to be very tough environment here many people have been arrested but they're they've been diminished but they continue to be in my very very good i think the real effect of this ruling is to push young people into the streets great. groups by the muslim brotherhood and illustrated. not given much political by being

all young people but one demographically but then the population away from the. result is the people she's going to win 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 that 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 latest developments. in russian border guard has been injured after a frontier checkpoint with ukraine was shelled this despite the peace plan being signed by the ukrainian president that includes a week long cease fire that is not of clear who is responsible for the attack of the incident took place as self-defense forces clashed with government troops in

the country's east 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 assistance there were lots of children in the refugee camp and i brought them sweets to cheer them up i had the gun far 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 the checkpoint was on fire. during a fighting around eighty ukrainian border guards fell back into russian territory where they asked for shelter six of them were wounded all have now been safely handed back to ukraine according to the country's border officials now one anti-government leader was said has said that they 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 they're taking part in a week of drills in the center of the country. russian president vladimir putin has

lent his support to be leaders peace plan which includes a ceasefire but he said 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. the peace plan has a number of automates unlike dumond's 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. as 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 done yet republican 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 uniform of 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 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 after 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 coal miners have made good on their promise to leave work and pick up arms in case president better part time go does not stop the operation of within twenty four hours today here on their lenin square in donetsk. soldiers gave an oath of allegiance to the people's rip. the nets room on call for a party that's ukraine. months of military action has forced tens of thousands to flee to neighboring russia with hundreds of queuing at the border and seeking shelter in refugee camps you can hear some of their stories on our t.v. dot com. now check this out meet the world's most expensive weapon the

four hundred billion dollar f. thirty five an aircraft whose price tag just went up thanks to additional funding plagued by delays massive cost overruns and bloated bureaucracy the jet has left even its top backers somewhat underwhelmed and to cover the price the plane is now being touted to foreign buyers as well arty's main 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 the more that the united states. and the manufacturer and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested more they have to go ahead 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.

party. the f. 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 and oil leak but the engines are not the only place where this aircraft is having some severe problems really in fact as you can see here the plane has been suffering the well documented cracks and from nose to tail the pentagon even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm out of fears that the fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning and we spoke to the man who helped to design the iconic f. 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 drop

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 of the airplane it was a complete mess and one two this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken. distain for a promotional campaign coming up in the u.s. offer hard cash for ideas on how to gain support for its trade agreement with europe gets only a stream of sarcasm and condemnation. and of 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 are politicians celebrities and union leaders all upset with the blanket austerity imposed by london artie's surface reports now from among the crowd. well the until starts the protesters making their way to central london at the moment you take a look behind me you can see the crowds that at times out of use a full day for a bit of very serious message from those he taken to london police 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 to this he's everything from education to talk to the other child and what they really are asking for the father to have to start a real terms look for the u.k. child being to do that was that people here say that they see god in their living standards and that's what they want to see change now while you're on our t.v.

course up in the crowd we were in james he's a member but he also remembered to try to make sense of exactly what the hot seat today is all about the longest running living sun this is queen victoria sat on the throne in the eighty seven seas over a million workers driven into poverty since the claim that cameron live in where you have an army of zero contract workers people stripped she joked you would see this also to finish the fight for a living wage fighting for housing five workers rights fight for public ownership of the banks for tax justice against tax avoidance and so on and that's really at the heart of this was the government will say the economy has been only 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 peace the economy the living standards of for the so those are the stories you're going to hear today as people have taken to the city a central london to protest against the starts. now more news coming your way including deadly clashes in iraq between government troops and islamic extremists

who are marching towards the capital baghdad. join me on. that in part and financial. contributor and much much. only on bombast and on. the search trip. and i think you're.

welcome back to international well if you can't convince them just offer cold hard cash that is what the u.s. government is doing promising a large rewards 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 artie's peter all over 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 though this is seen and vajra mentalist 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 that would soon disappear along with any regulatory differences between the u.s. and the e.u. and predicted boost of around two hundred fifty billion dollars to america and europe's collective g.d.p. would expand both economies but critics say all this comes at too high a price they fear corporations would use the agreement to gain too much power over governments 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 to hold companies to account 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 and from on air to on the line a grisly discovery in south texas a group of archaeologist has unearthed mass graves of immigrants whose remains were unceremoniously unceremoniously dumped in plastic bags you can find out more on our to dot com. while you're there in japan may have failed to score during their latest world cup match but their fans have left a lasting impression on brazil by keeping the stadiums and spotlessly clean you can get the full story of our team dot com. while the japanese fans come out of the

competition with a gleaming reputation the same can't be said of supporters from other countries fifty. is looking at punishing several nations for their fans abusive or insulting behavior at the world cup and russian crowds are one of the groups being 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. your first book either in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spotlight was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight red 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 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 were 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 mass treat rallies 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.

politically motivated people have always been close to fan groups not only have they propagandize the culture of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why nasi views a popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but former hooligan and founder of russia's largest fan movement democracy 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 our oath origins 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 this case. 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. moscow to other news now local authorities say the hottest islamic state of iraq and syria group has seized another four iraqi cities as the country finds itself on the brink of a humanitarian crisis within the un 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 spending several hundred now in control of large parts of iraq including the second largest city mosul and now closing in

on baghdad as well meanwhile washington has sent some three hundred military advisors to aid of the iraqi security forces but middle east expert joshua landis believes that the u.s. is reluctant to push this too far in the view of the catastrophic results of the two thousand and three invasion you can watch his full interview in worlds apart right here on our team but here's a quick preview. this entire isis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in india attacking iraq and casting down the cities from the top a 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 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. meanwhile several hundred people have rallied in washington d.c. this week as part of a nationwide anti-war campaign iraqis who have made their home and joined without documents to denounce any possible american military intervention the support of the government in baghdad here's what some of the protesters. did not solve the country's problems by bombing our droning on and we know that we've known that for at least three decades ago in iraq for military advisers are bad guys or. have. they you know as one for my women it was our top five. that's omar's. it's very serious. and i

mean no to the u.s. war machine you cannot do anything constructive in this that your way you can only worsen this is your way. so you look at some other stories making headlines around the world another war torn nation for you afghanistan's presidential election was supposed to bring about the country's first ever democratic transfer of power but stability in the country seems a long way off hundreds of. afghans have rallied in kabul in support of presidential candidate abdullah abdullah who pulled out of the elections accusing the government of rigging the vote they are demanding officials react to allegations of ballot stuffing and this comes as a suicide bomber set off a bomb in the capital killing one civilian and injuring several in the. flash flooding and mudslides in bulgaria'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 downpours part of a storm system that has been churning across southern europe causing tornados in
