egypt sets out along the path to democracy gearing up for autumn's polls but there are warnings islamic radicals could take root in the existing power vacuum. a year after the explosion of the peacekeeper water provides a big spill of the millions of gallons of oil into gulf of mexico those whose health has been wrecked still fighting for health. russian police keep a constant vigil to prevent terror attacks in what's called north caucuses and take a look at the battle on the front burner. and all prizes like keeping their heads up while golden filled and continue the new record highs only claimed the valleys

in tow but for more join our business desk in twenty minutes. oh you're watching our t.v. world news and much more welcome to the program but was the west may already be telling the victory of democracy in egypt there is this sort of rationing maybe premature radical islamists have links to groups like the muslim brotherhood could steal a march in september elections and there's or any reports the free vote 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 qarase tahrir square of demonstrators to show everything's back to normal and they're not wrong after a month. people 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 really had to take ship deep concerns as to whether the reforms have gone far enough whether the restrictions on the role of the military is still too great for true freedom to emerge in egypt and that is the debate is totally 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 be expect to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september's election some 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 what organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appear to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt at the least democratic change has to start and. it needs to happen now the growth of freedom and democracy . but americans are now arriving in truth 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 remember that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of washington for in causing that all important. the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against any leader that does a religion egypt washington will be. but what if it's the muslim brotherhood will

though the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood it acted very differently towards its roots organization hamas classified by some countries as a terrorist organization in two thousand and six hamas won a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response the middle east quartet impose severe sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people but 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 september. your avatar to be. in libya fierce fighting continues as the un ones the coalition that's sending military escorts to protect aid shipments could put humanitarian work in the country at risk it comes as the u.k. france and italy searched teams to advise rebels on the ground and she wore

activist brian becker says it's false the coalition could eventually lead to an invasion. that resolution was designed to authorize the beginning of military operations in libya but the real goal from the beginning has been to topple the regime they never say we're going in to take oil that would not be a very popular cause they have to give the mission some sort of noble cause in this case protecting civilians in other cases protecting democracy or freedom or stopping terrorism i think a lot of people see through this in the american people by the way they see the war in afghanistan ten years in the war in iraq eight years in another war in a muslim country the american people don't want this they are being told that there's no money for nurses and teachers and firefighters because the country is broke but soon it seemingly endless funds for another war in another muslim country can ruin sarkozy and obama say could oppy must go and if the bombing doesn't work doesn't bad then me in order not to feel that there has to be endless escalation an

escalation ultimately leads to a military invasion if they can't stop or oust gadhafi i think that's where this is going even though they say it'll never happen. so they had to this hour we take you to the front line the russians fight against terror. being a policeman and watches north caucasus region is a notoriously dangerous job we go on patrol in turbulent darkness turn on the front line of the fight against islamic insurgents join us on our special report in just a few minutes see. us our close up he travels to russia's far east to see how locals are looking to the story real life put them on track to a brighter future. on the first anniversary of the gulf of mexico disaster that killed a dozen people and dumped millions of gallons of crude into the ocean b.p. has filed to the all seems damages the company is looking for others to play and

fighting for money in the courts and it's locals who are paying the price with their health things like chicken pox. five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersants used to fight the oil spill a cocktail that contaminated not just the water in the gulf but found its way into people's blood a year after the disaster an environmental group tested the blood of dozens of cleanup workers as well as residents of coastal areas they found levels of ban seen thirty six times higher than normal or call for. shader truly want to work in open a bomber war. clayton mathur and worked as a boat engineer he says he was in perfect health before he was exposed to the toxic chemicals in the gulf now he's finding a bouquet of illnesses darvish will flugel the part of the actual fervor usually

from clayton is not alone in his fight dortch price owns a small boat yard in louisiana perfectly healthy just a year ago he has lost thirty pounds in the last few months george was diagnosed with severe anaemia us attorney and must still hold of this story and will be no you really know dr michael robbie chom who's been practicing medicine in louisiana for forty years says he's never had such an influx of patients with respiratory and blood issues he fears the worst bits and distributes orders for calls robbie cha is one of a few doctors who is outspoken about gulf coast residents sometimes connection with the toxic chemicals that they've been exposed to many other doctors refused to recognize the cost as dr robert shaw says either because they don't have the necessary training or they don't want to be called a court. requires an environmental justice group polled

residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headaches that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure doctors say the consequences of having for example benzene in the blood could be a lot more serious it can cause a decrease in red blood cells leading to a need or cancer of the blood forming organs it's very clear when you look at the ingredients both oil which is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material couple with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you mix those together it actually creates an substance or times more toxic and these are exactly the same rules that are truly not literally in people's blood many of the fact that gulf coast residents and those involved in the cleanup of the gulf say they are alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster many of them like clayton don't even have health coverage through. it

worse and worse every marine biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed the country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure the agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug i'm going to check on reporting from washington r.t. . oh even a year after the largest accidents in oil history and not so much has changed in terms of safety regulations in the u.s. so it's roberts the director of the documentary gas hole says the corporations don't have to alter anything because of america's oil addiction i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the oil companies really don't. care about the consumer you know it's business as usual they're making billions and billions of dollars in profits americans we like our big choice we really don't like to sacrifice our lifestyle for the better of the long term good it seems in the car

companies are producing cars that s.u.v.s trucks things that really aren't that great on fuel economy we as consumers are buying them so they're going to keep making them i think it comes down to money i think well companies they throw some money towards the alternative fuel industry and doing research you know a lot of that is green washing but why change business as usual when you're making billions of dollars we need powerful leadership in washington d.c. who's not afraid to point the finger at the oil industry create new legislation consumers need to find you know we live in a society where people know more about the american idol contestants than they do their own representatives we all have to get involved we have to push legislation and we have to vote in the people that are going to make a difference and do something about it. for twenty more reports blogs analysis i just a click away at all if you don't comb is a taste of just some of the stories that are. the source of the wiki leaks has been

with caucuses which are struggling with a radical islamic insurgency and refer to people joining the militants as having come to the forest but can't understand how they justify their acts of god then i put it it's crucial to find a common language for those in a forest but there should be a way to reach some compromise in the way they did her question others sometimes it feels like i live not in dagestan but in afghanistan where real muslims wouldn't go to the forest is on is a social religion and the forest is for all animals not people give us hobbies the bruce i knew would not why not curse the harness they're killing their brothers they're not real muslims 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're keen to distinguish between hardened terrorists and new recruits. of course young people who made a mistake in making the forest should be given
