Through the narrow alleyways of this modest workingclass neighborhood, the huge crowd name. Ed chanting belaids they blame the islamistled government for his murder. Chokri belaid had been its most constant and vocal critic. Amid all the anger, theres a sense that tensions have been bubbling under the surface for months. Tunisia was the birthplace of the arab spring, and all of these mourners are determined there will not be a premature end here as well. There were sustain volleys of tear gas from riot police. As the wider region looks on, tunisia, the jewel of the arab spring, is in turmoil. The leader of the governing party is blamed for the deaf. They deny giving free rein to more radical muslims. I do not think that the government is allowing things to happen. It is not only extremists who are committing crimes in tunisia. There are different people, different parties trying to make crimes and trying to push the experience to the extreme. The capital was reminiscent of the 2011 uprising which overthrew the previous regime. Riot police and militias armed with clubs patrol the streets. Tonight, the government said it would create a neutral administration of technocrats, an appeal for calm that might not be heeded. For more on the fallout from that assassination, i am joined here in the studio by a representative of the Washington Institute of policy. Tunisia was the source of so much hope two years ago during the revolution. What has gone wrong . Part of what has gone wrong is there has been a lot of polarization between leftist secularists and the islamists, and there has been a lot of extreme and incendiary language going on between both sides calling each extremists or wolves in sheeps skin and stuff like that. As a result, it seems to be a culmination of some of the excitement that has gone on from each side. Unfortunately, it ended in someones death. Protesters are calling for a second revolution. What exactly is it they want to see changed . Part of what some of the protesters want is an interior ministry. They believe they are not able to provide the type of security that they want and that it is really still run the same way it was before, and they also wanted to be a reshuffle in the government in terms of different ministers because they feel there is some level of corruption that has been going on over the past year since the original election. How much is this about unfulfilled expectations, do you think . Partially it has to do with unfulfilled expectations, but also the economy. It is still stagnating. In tunis, the job rate is still high. There has not been any money coming in, as well as the fact that tourists are not coming in either anymore. How much of this is a clash between secularists and the Islamist Party . A lot of what is going on has to do with competition between two major blocs within the country. Secular liberals looking for more of a cosmopolitan way of life and you also have islamists who are looking to arabize society and institute conservative policies related to social issues. How closely do you think egyptian leaders are watching what is going on in geneva, the birthplace of the arabs during after all . The arab spring after all . I think the egyptian leaders are probably jam packed with what is going on there. Are you surprised by the vehemence of the clashes . It is not too surprising just because we have seen an increase in polarization over the last year. As a result, it has created more tensions between the two different ideological blocks. What do you think will resolve the crisis . Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. Many say if it continues to escalate, it could lead to a civil war. Nobody wants that, so hopefully the leaders on all sides try to stem this from happening. Thanks very much for joining us.

I took more than 24 hours of walltowall negotiations to reach a deal it took more than 24 hours. There were major disagreements. One camp was determined to make major cuts, and another was set on keeping up the you put the public spending. Austerity one out in the end austerity won out in the end. Keeping his hands in pockets all part of the negotiation, but eventually, a deal. Countries would contribute most to the budget fought hard to cut costs, arguing that this age of austerity demands nothing less. The British Public can be proud we have cut the sevenyear credit card limit for the European Union for the First Time Ever. Every previous time, the multi year deals have been agreed, spending has gone up. Not this time. This was always going to be a long stretch. No budget deal is ever easy. It took more than 24 hours of nearly nonstop haggling to produce results all too much for some. Those who sought to protect certain areas of spending fought their corner hard, but the french president seemed a little downbeat at the end. If you ask me, if this had been my dream budget, if it had been up to me, no. Within these walls, compromise is, as ever, the only way they can do business, but questions will remain about the structure of the budget. Spending on farming and funds for poorer regions are being cut. Critics say that is not right. If all Member States agree, is that the budget done and tested . Well, not quite. The European Parliament has new powers over the process and seems determined to flex its muscles and possibly reject this deal. The fight over how much the eu spins and on what continues the fight over how much the eu spends and done what continues. A shocking discovery ford u. K. Consumers.

It is easier to get a gun in chicago that it is to get a job. That is crazy. Just because gun laws are different in different states, they are getting them from where they are legal and bringing back here. Altering the patchwork of gun laws is the challenge for a president who three decades ago was a Community Organizer on the south side, the kind of work phil jackson does today.

Still to come backstage drama at russias famous bolshoi ballet after an attack on its artistic director. Now one of its biggest stars claims there is a conspiracy against him. We may finally have an answer to one of the most hotly contested questions in science where did we all evolves from evolve from . An International Effort has been mapping out thousands of trades to tradestrait traits to unlock the clues. It is interesting to see that this hypothetical central ancestors had a number of features very different from ours. Very for example, for all over its body. A white, for a belly, long, furry tail white, furry belly and long, furry tail. Fleshy nose not unlike ours. It had year bonds to help it here and translate sounds from noise into neurological impulses it had ear bones. It had some features that were like us and some that were different. We might be able to pick this up in both of our hands, but it is different in that it is much less specialized. How did humans evolve from that creature . This is an interesting question. One thing our study shows is that after this creature lived, there was a very rapid change in many mammals species, including the line that led to humans, primates. We also saw a few hundred thousand years after this animal species like whales and aardvarks and bats and various different kinds of mammals all with a lot of different specialties including things like ability to fly and swim and do all of the very Different Things that mammals do. We are part of that extremely varied type of changes that mammals went through upwards of 60 years ago upwards of 60 million years ago. Now to the backstage drama at russias famous bolshoi ballet. Three weeks ago, the companys artistic director was injured in an acid attack. Today, the plot has thickened. One of the company put the principal dancers has accused the management of carrying out a campaign to discredit him. He is calling on the russian government to sack the entire management. Our correspondent in russia reports on this drama. At the bolshoi this week, they put on giselle, a story of jealousy, treachery, revenge, but that is nothing compared to the trauma backstage. This principal dancer is currently one of the bolshoi was the biggest stars. He says the bolshois management wants him out. It is like being back in the days of joseph stalin. They are organizing meetings again, trying to force us to sign letters condemning him. They tried that last week, but all the ballet teachers in the bolshoi refused to file it. Three weeks ago, the troupes artistic director was attacked with sulfuric acid. The head of the ballet has accused him of creating an atmosphere of mudslinging, which he believes led to the incident. God forbid if you were attacked with acid, you would not be able to show your face four months. If you look at all of the specially commissioned tv shows that have been hinting at my involvement, it looks like a campaign against me. But they will not get away with it. I am speechless. What can i tell . I just hope that he will be cured as quickly as possible and that his eyesight is back, he will join us and continue to work. The dancer not only performs but he teaches as well, and he claims they were trying to take away his students. In december, that asked to see my pupils. They told her if she left, there would give them a spot in swan lake. She refused, and im thankful for her loyalty. We met, and i said i knew what he did, and he replied that he did not do anything about the kind. I said in the bolshoi, walls had ears. Everybody knows everything. They came to see him, asking for a big part in the big ballet, and he said he did not think she was ready for the part and said if she wants to dance it, it would be wise for her to work with some female professors. The bolshoi would clearly love the focus now to switch back to its ballet, but the very public row which has broken out between one of its biggest stars and the management suggests that for now, dramas offstage will stay in the spotlight. More plot twists than Downton Abbey at the bolshoi. Now to china. An estimated 700 Million People will tune in to China Central televisions Lunar New Year gala. The performance has become unstable family fare, a staple tv moment like few others the performance has become family fare, a staple tv moment like few others. Backstage, a chance to see the performers about to face a very big audience indeed. Hundreds of musicians, actors, and dancers are getting ready for one of the mostwatched tv shows on the planet. Chinas Lunar New Year gala has been growing ever grander since it began in 1983, but this year, the directors have been ordered to produce a show more frugal in tone in line with the recent crackdown on corruption and official extravagance. It is a rare intervention these days. Chinas diverse ethnicity is always feature underlining national unity, but direct political messages have been scaled back. It is a really wonderful platform. I think as a Classical Musician, this is a very nice place to share our artwork. Normally, we play only in a concert hall, and this is another stage you can share probably with someone who never heard Classical Music before. There are four and acts as well. This year, everything from celine dion to this kenyan student. It goes like that. Such is the importance of this national tv moment. This is the First Time Ever that a foreign broadcaster has been allowed behind the scenes like this. We are told that the message of frugality this year will be reflected in fewer costume changes and recycling some of the set and scenery from last year. It might be risky. Audiences already have other choices, and critics ask weather the extraordinary 700 million viewing figure can be sustained whethwe the extraordinary viewing figure can be sustained. Quite a show.
