your with our t.v. world news twenty four hours a day welcome to the program the next chapter in egypt's path of democracy will see elections in september radical islamic groups could steal a march in the polls groups like the muslim brotherhood are gaining ground and it reports a free vote could see a much stricter regime to take control. the more things change the more they stay the same certainly that's how it seems in egypt where the army is clearing qarase tahrir square demonstrate it's to show everything's back to normal and then not wrong after months of upheaval it's very much the same people in charge as before there's a concern that they may have already the dictator they have a bit of a dictatorship but deep concerns as to whether the reforms are going far enough whether the restrictions in the military is. still too great for true freedom to

emerge in egypt and there is a debate this can only polarizing society but without the army a power vacuum and poised to step into that vacuum the muslim brotherhood links to al-qaeda the brotherhood is understood to be multiplying and organizing from the mosques according to their spokesperson they expect to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september's election son expects something more sinister there might be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hydrogel revolution this is the oldest and the best organized political movement in the opposition so far and of course if the field is more or less been leveled now after mubarak has gone they have more chances than others who are not well organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appeared to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt. these democratic change has

to start now. it needs to happen now for greater freedom and democracy in egypt. but americans are now arriving in droves to exert their influence over the democratization process it's very worrying to see so many advisers from washington arriving in cairo and perhaps trying hijack the revolution from washington but we must always remember that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of russian foreign policy that all important sue is canal and the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against any leader that doesn't merge in egypt washington with their free trade. but what if it's the muslim brotherhood although the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood it acted very differently towards its roots organization hamas classified by some. countries are the terrorist organization in two thousand and

america's sights revelations rest. is issue in syria countries in the government revolts the president has lifted the decades old state of emergency it's a test and they're closer to home and some analysts washington's backing of the opposition is further evidence of a wider which to the east which. it goes way beyond libya effect i'm working on a story at the moment pitting the pentagon against china this is the big story in africa for the next fifty years i would say it starts in the beginning of the two thousand creation of the african union cathy was a very important in this mechanism it was a mechanism to give a political voice to africa in terms of unified africa in terms of political decisions and not know of course economic integration then china's start investing

much more than it was investing two hundred ninety nine it's over african net least thirty eight countries we have more than nine hundred projects all over africa and then came the reaction from the pentagon two thousand and seven two thousand and eight would be african command which has just launched its first african war when they launched a tomahawk three weeks ago against against tripoli basically so now this is the chess war it's the pentagon fiat african i guess the chinese investments in the middle. i will say at least fifty african governments and scrambling to see oh keep what's going to come down. that's ahead you this hour despite claims of social benefits many georgians are running it hard to meet ends meet system getting government assistance. plus a power struggle of a different color take

a look at the fuel source of all the next big thing but not everyone is convinced. global finance chiefs are warning that swift action is needed to skate a new wave of economic crisis countries runs a financial and usually turn to the international monetary fund and the world bank which apparently lots of us. are explains the has already had. an annual spring gathering about the world economy produced a dreadful financial forecast we are one shock away from a full grown crisis critics say through the establishment of the international monetary fund and world bank america has positioned itself as an economic dr to the world using the institutions to retain global domination and fulfill the business interests of large corporations craving resources belonging to cash strapped

countries what they do is they very often pressure governments to what we call prosecco or proxies the economy is weak or a recession and they want them to cut spending or raise taxes there can be very very dangerous i mean you can slip back into reserves certain words i tell all too familiar to right in america the middle east. and most recently greece. where tens of thousands storm the streets protesting austerity measures public spending cuts and tax hikes. as the largest financial contributor washington also wields the largest voting power at the i.m.f. we fairly or. it is run by the u.s. treasury department with some input from the european countries there right there tells you most of the problem this is suppose that you know. something countries it's run by just a handful or maybe just one and american has always served as president of the

world bank since its creation in one nine hundred forty four but now with its own backyard in disarray america is hardly in a position to hand out financial advice to others in two thousand and eleven america's financial management is best defined by a nonstop borrowing binge seat of the talk over there it's a running ticker of u.s. debt which has surpassed a ceiling of fourteen point three trillion dollars now the u.s. navy want to consider investing in a bigger clock with a few more digits on the display a problem so bad the u.s. president can't ignore it and the government can't seem to solve it we have to live within our means we have to reduce our deficit republicans have refused to support measures such as raising taxes on the rich or cutting defense spending we're approaching arsenal on a par with the total g.d.p. of the country this is very serious because most economic research suggests that

countries tend to decelerate in their growth and have more and more severe economic problems once the debt to g.d.p. ratio gets above about ninety percent and we're about to go through that level all eyes are now on the nation that sets the bar for others to see if it clean up its own bad debts at home. r.t. new york some say the i.m.f. and the world bank be the solution countries need when they don't strike and govern marshall from the center for research on globalization says the institutions are actually to blame for many problems in developing states. probably i am nothing wrong in saying that they're interested in reducing poverty and development all their actions and said otherwise some repercussions of their actions have exacerbated poverty. created under-development you look at africa and latin america during the sixty's coming out of the colonial era and that independence movements

these countries were developing in quite rapidly in africa growth rates were extreme i'm chill of oil crises which are in fact increases were supported by the state department. and this created a flood of money through the western bank in loan to these developing countries the finance industry so you should. actually act these new you know new institutions they have to give construct rain forests and a good culture and focus on what's called export induced growth and make countries produce certain crops for export in european nations and then that's making the countries dependent on your emissions for food and other services and creates a dependency not only are they interested in continuing to manage the so-called iraq right now they're also trying to integrate and advance the process global governance by bringing in emerging nations that is china or india and other nations

into this institutional apparatus of global governance bring them to the game essentially. the other side of the atlantic it's the future generation which is feeling the force of economic hardship it's a young paper face of the future they are unemployed as the country battles to prevent itself suffering the same fate as greece and ireland a person of the thoughts from rome. for over a year now element has been trying to find a decent job with displaying having a degree in linguistics and fluently speaking german french and spanish the only word she's been able to find short term gates says hiring interns is simply cheaper for companies well many of those with a higher education are left behind. and. if it doesn't improve it i don't see how it can the only way to find a job is to look for it brandt and tired of looking for it here and ready to leave . but while many can't find

a post office now in retirement he says that back in his day it was much easier to find a job and thinks the current situation is absurd. but a youth is what life is there for it doesn't matter why they don't want to work what's important is that the government has to do something to provide work. and make them interesting. about you know the head of italy's central bank insists the entire economy is in need of a major legislative overhaul especially since the young italians who do good work are earning proportionately less than those during the one nine hundred eighty s. and production output is in decline for one of the world's eight biggest industrialized nations the last thing it needs is a future generation that's floundering while finding a job or flunking out altogether is going off or g. roll. but an ad for r.t.

a professional singer and in these tough times news it is all she and her daughter have. and the only real music to their ears would be an offer of help something neither has much faith they'll hear any time soon. government is clearly that is doing everything possible in the current financial climate to help its people. lord george is clearly have no money for even the basics like food medicine and living like this it's clear that the poverty line is very evident in the heart of the georgian capital is cashiers are about r t d.c. georgians look around the world out some of the instructions the u.s. soldier is the policy of thousands of state secrets to wiki leaks needs to be moved to a new prison past votes rather than running over a real case of genius the pentagon's decision to move into a base in kansas comes after growing international criticism when it is being held

in conditions which amount to. former cuban leader fidel castro had an unexpected appearance of crisscrossing congress or rather recent conference that was the first live get together since the under. there is little to grow as a show of support for the major economic changes which are been announced it will transfer sort of inclusions leadership of cuba's communist party that started. as world. trade tearing america's first lady that's where both since the landing of the getting too close to a military contractor. or moments of each other instead of the committee with its show promise brain eventually landed safely with was forced to circle the race so the program that could clear the runway this case is a looking into whether air traffic controllers were to bring. those of the world's first or energy grows it's full speed ahead for the u.s.

and its shale gas deposits it's very popular because it's considered a green energy source for research is the thought it could be a cause of serious environmental health problems good reports. it's cheap it's readily available and it's made in the united states washington has hailed shiel gas as the next big thing and if you development or the past five years the u.s. has invested billions of dollars into the field bringing cheap energy to consumers still deposits lie deep underground and unlike natural gas sheerly is widely available in the u.s. which means the country doesn't have to pay for imports. for the shale revolution stemmed from high gas prices a main question right now is how will the shale gas industry survive now that gas prices are one hundred two hundred fifty dollars a barrel which is four times less than they were five years ago when shale development began. this tight that european countries are also looking at potential

shale gas resources on their territory albeit with some hesitation brights now it's more holds then facts. and more holds than question marks. and we have really to think realistically about this source of energy we don't want to say get to terms of cause in russia like america had thought and not other potential plus of shale of course is stopping imports from russia which that lies most of europe with natural gas many already saying that if shale deposits are found in europe most. of supplying gas to other countries what's been happening is the rebels don't seem to be losing any sleep over their supposedly reckless fuel here's what we're going to go when we're watching the situation and we think that locally it's very viable but it will remain

a local gas supply it's impossible to extract gas to last for long and if you look at the shale gas suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money doug. shale gas may be easily available but its development does not come cheap. you order to get shale gas you must drill horizontally incessantly and that means the profit margin of the process gets lost very fast. and though the obama administration has hailed shale as an environmentally friendly alternative to natural gas a recent studies have put this under question several scandals have already broken out in the us because of the facts of shale gas development only environment and people's health. chill gases extracted by hydro fracking that means special chemicals around into the water to break up the rock formations the components of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states and claim

it's a commercial secret that water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development pose a serious threat to the environment and health so perhaps like any seeming miracle cure show gassed me through yet another false and dangerous economy even if it was cool artsy moscow. but i think that it's all the business news when you hear on r.t. . hello and welcome to all of his business update thanks for joining us and a fellow capital is one of the major headaches right now for the world's leading

decision makers money shifting swiftly from one market to no other essential to destabilize and so the seeds of another financial crisis one moscow based investment strategist that has mixed fortunes for places like russia. the capital has been coming into russia or over the last three or four months has really been quite short in nature they're not really been investing for long term returns the best image of the oil price is very high russia or is it represents a proxy for the for the oil price will have a sense of the risk events like was happening in europe or in the u.s. then people will turn to russia so you might see in the short term at least most of my outflow of capital as a result of the situation in europe deteriorating even further. gold futures have advanced a new all time record topping fifteen hundred dollars an ounce not worldwide inflation of death concerns are bolstering precious metals which investors turn to when there's turbulence elsewhere so it's trading about forty four dollars per
