egypt sets out along the path of democracy gearing up for autumn's polls but there are warnings islamic radicals could take brutal existing. year after the explosion at the keys deep water horizon rig spilled millions of gallons of oil into the gulf of mexico those whose health is being wrecked still fighting for health. as russian police keep a constant vigil to france terror attacks and calls home with caucuses we take a look at the day to day battle on the front line.

you're watching r t we're live from moscow welcome to the program while the west may already be hailing the victory of democracy in egypt there are fears the celebrations may be premature radical islamists links to groups like the muslim brotherhood could steal a march in september's elections and his government reports the free votes in the autumn could see a much stricter regime 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 cairo's tahrir square of demonstrators to show everything's back to normal and they're not wrong after months of upheaval it's very much the same people in charge as before if there's a concern that they may have already the dictator they haven't heard of it to take share the deep concerns as to whether the reforms are going far enough whether the restrictions on the role of the military is still too great for true freedom. and

that is the 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 qaida 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 sun expect something more sinister there might be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hijack the whole revolution this is the oldest and the best organized political movement in opposition 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 organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appear to adopt

a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt but the least democratic change has to start. it needs to happen for growth of freedom and democracy. 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 arrive in cairo and perhaps try and hijack the revolution for washington but we must always are. remember that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of washington foreign policy that all important. the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against fairly leader of the those emerging egypt. will differ. but what if it's the muslim brotherhood although the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood acted very differently toward the roots organization classified by some countries as

a terrorist organization in two thousand and six how much one a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response to middle east quartet employees sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people so what will happen in european corridors of power if the people of egypt sees what's perceived abroad to be the wrong governments the world awaits the results of that said the rabbit he loved it . when in libya fierce thoughts in continues as the u.n. warns the coalition but sending military escorts to protect aid shipments could put humanitarian work in the country at risk comes as the u.k. france and italy are set to dispatch teams to advise rebels on the ground antiwar activist lindsey german says it's a clear breach of the u.n. mandate. i don't think you can see it as a legal move clearly goes well beyond the plans of u.n.

resolution nine hundred seventy three we were told explicitly or not for this would not happen we were told it would not be troops on the ground we were told that this would be simply a no fly zone to help civilians we've now have more and more indication that the british and french governments in particular who serve united states are really going for something much more substantial and they had the articles in the papers last weight which said really they had to be regime change this again is not is not science and the u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three the number of reasons why they are parking on their part they want to maintain their own face of their own their own prestige over this i think both have more than sarkozy different price are interested in this in addition to this they are scared the whole process that we saw earlier this

year in the middle east will go out of their control maybe or is a means of researching western control in arab and african countries and that is what they're doing. well still ahead for you this hour we take you to the front line of russia's fight against terror. being a policeman and much as north caucasus region is a notoriously dangerous job we go on patrol in turbulent darkest hour on the front lines of the fight against islamic insurgents join us on our special report in just a few minutes. close up team travels to russia's foreign minister to see how locals of the king that's when the story will live with them on track to a brighter future. in the first anniversary of the gulf of mexico oil disaster that killed eleven people and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the ocean b.p.

more than ninety militants have been killed and dozens of terrorist attacks prevented the start of security raids in russia in recent months but the country's anti terror committee says the move caucasus remains the main hub for training terrorists police there say combating extremists on an almost daily basis tom barton caught up with those on constant guard. on the frontline and drug use stone in southern russia this isn't a battlefield missiles but of daily skirmishes. to hit and run attacks on patrols. the first look and yes i'm afraid but there has to be someone to do this job and recently the dangers of the job were bought home with a bang as this easy t.v. footage shows militants drive up and fire a burst from a kalashnikov into the police station door before speeding off five minutes later

the second car left behind explodes seven police one wounded. a local prosecutor's office the federal security service building took the brunt of the blast. the local police chief isms no illusions viciousness there are problems. with police we have to use only legal means to fight these militants however there is one birth here when these bandits these things like blowing up cars in busy street where we must fight them in their own way the town of kids will get itself as a modest trading center surrounded by villages many of which are friendly to the foreign wahhabi form of islam and militants it's typical of many such places throughout but as north caucuses which is struggling with a radical islamic insurgency locals refer to people joining the militants as having gone to the forest but can't understand how they justify their acts how could they learn to get it was crucial to find a common language for those in

a forest but there should be a way to reach some compromise you know that it was another sometimes it feels like a little knot in dagestan but in afghanistan real muslims wouldn't go to the forest is not as a social religion and the forest is for animals not people it's even hard these the boys i knew would not tell you what hurts the hobby so they're killing their brothers they're not real most times you must be monsters that are not the terms five hundred police are mostly muslim just like the militants even so they are usually the main terror target but they came to distinguish between hardened terrorists and new recruits. of course young people who made a mistake in way to the forest should be given a chance to mend their ways but those who persisted killing civilians and policeman will destroy them now who had seen enough of his opponents to know about them methods and motives and whether dangerous they are but he doesn't think he faces a special threat. those who go to the forest are just so i can be criminals they're

a different state with totally different laws or task is to prove that we can develop successfully the matters of upbringing and ideology are just as essential a generation of people have grown up who are not familiar with the soviet era traditions and values don't have any new ideas or values to replace them this vacuum is being filled by various radicals and extremists is our key concern or the point for the minds or sympathies of young people is essential you know not fight is going on everywhere these days especially in the media the hostile forces have been very active will meet on it for example we are trying to oppose them own ideology of peace and friendship. in. but you can watch the full version of second ship without interview with that august on the there in about fifteen minutes here on our c. a quick look at some other news stories were around the world. massive demonstrations have been held in
