egypt steps out along the road to a democratic future gearing up for autumn's polls but fears now that is that radicals could hijack the revolution fill the existing panel back in. a year after billions of gallons of b.p.'s oil spilled into the gulf of mexico those whose health has been wrecked by the disaster still struggling to get help. with russian police on a constant terror alert in the volatile north caucuses we meet the officers fighting on the front line daily basis.

there it's twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. but while the west may already be hailing the victory of democracy in egypt there are fears the sort of ration is maybe premature radical islamists linked to groups like the muslim brotherhood could steal a march in september's elections and store image 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 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 it is a concern that they may have already the dictator they haven't really given to take share the 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 this calmly polarizing society that 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 big spec to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september's election son 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 east democratic

change has to start now. it needs to happen now the growth of freedom and democracy . but americans are now arriving in troops to exert their influence over the democratization process it's very worrying to see so many advisers from washington arrive in cairo and perhaps trying to hijack the revolution for washington but we must always are. 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 kerry. washington will definitely try and get it on. but what if it's the muslim brotherhood the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood is not very differently to be. pacified by some countries terrorist organization

in two thousand and six hamas won a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response to the middle east quartet increased of instructions 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 the way the results of september. in libya fierce fighting continues as the u.n. warns the coalition that sending military escorts to protect age and could put humanitarian work in the country at risk it comes as the u.k. france and italy set to dispatch teams to advise rebels on the ground but antiwar activist says it's a clear breach of the u.n. mandate. i don't think you can see it as a legal move it clearly goes well beyond the pounds of un resolution one

hundred seventy three we were told explicitly a month because this would not happen we were told would not be troops on the ground we were told that this would be simply no fly the. civilians we've now had more indication that the british and french governments in particular have looser be united states are really tied to something much more substantial and they had the. last we. have. this again is not is not french of the u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three number of reasons why they are involved and if they want to maintain their own face and their eyes and prestige over this i think our camera lens are crazy and the white are interested in this in addition to this they are scared that the whole process that we saw earlier this year in the middle

east will go out to sacrifice a little you is a means of researching western control in arab and african countries and that is what we're doing. the last of the head for this we take you to the front line of russia's fight against terror. being a policeman in russia's north caucasus region is a notoriously dangerous job we go on patrol in turbulent darkest stone on the front line of the fight against islamic insurgents join us on our special report in just a few minutes on our three. historic relied in russia's far east this to put the region on track to a brighter future stay with our team as we take you closer. but on the first anniversary of the gulf of mexico oil disaster that killed eleven people and millions of gallons of crude solution b.p. has filed to lawsuits for damages the company is looking for others to play

fighting for big money in the courts it's locals who are paying the price for their health what is going to chicken ports. five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersants used to fight the oil spill at 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 benzene thirty six times higher than normal across europe. are shaping trimble want to work in the open or i want to. create matter and work 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 fighting a bouquet of illnesses carved little about a lecture military officials from clayton is not alone in his fight george 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 bus journey and must still. be no you really know dr michael robbie chom who's been practicing medicine in louisiana for forty years says he's never have such an influx of patients with respiratory and blood issues he fears the worst it's a distance troubadour it is for girls robbie cha is one of a few doctors who is outspoken about golf coast residents sometimes connection with the toxic chemicals that they've been exposed to many other doctors refused to recognise the cause as dr robert shaw says either because they don't have the necessary training or they don't want to be caught up in court. providers and environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal

communities almost half said they had 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 being seen in the blood could be a lot more serious it can cause a decreasing 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 of which is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you mix those together it actually creates substance or times more toxic and bees are exactly the types of chemicals 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 beer alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster many of them might claim don't even have health coverage shoes through.

your shoes were actually every day during 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 out reporting from washington r.t. . and even a year author and artist extant in the history of born exploration the much has changed in terms of safety regulations in the u.s. so what roberts these arrests of the documentary guess hold since the corporations didn't have to alter anything because of america's oil addiction i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that well companies really don't. care about the consumer you know it's business as usual they're making billions billions of dollars in profits americans we like our big stories 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 oil 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 is 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. but there are plenty more reports blogs and analysis just a click away at all if you don't comb is a taste of just some of the stories that. many believed if you can read the secrets

of wiki leaks has been moved to new prison and some critics say his treatment is a violation of human rights plus. strikeout russia's very own rule of advance a you tube sensation shows the country's president getting into the greek through to use described to me from a bit of style as dancing like to head lead it if you think that he's most certainly on screen. more than ninety militants have been killed and dozens of terrorist attacks prevented and still use a puny raids in russia in recent months the country's anti terror committee says the move caucasus. remains the main hope of training terrorists but police their combat extremists are a daily basis has become while familiar to martin caught up with those on constant card. on the front line in douglas stone in southern russia this isn't

a battlefield of tanks and missiles but of daily skirmishes bombs and hit and run attacks are no controls it. was the first yes i'm afraid but there has to be someone to do this job and recently the dangers of the job that brought 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 a second car left behind explodes seven police would a local prosecutor's office and the federal security service building took the brunt of the blast. the local police chief isms no illusions about the viciousness of their opponents. as police we have to use only legal means to fight these militant however there is one birth here when these bandits these things like

blowing up cars in busy streets where we must fight them in their own way the town of cars will get itself is a modest training center surrounded by villages many of which are friendly to the hardline wahhabi form of islam and militants it's typical of many such places throughout much of the north caucasus which is struggling with radical islamic insurgency locals 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 get it it's 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 pakistan but in afghanistan real muslims wouldn't go to the forest is not as a social religion and the forest is for all alamos not people you must cut the bush i knew you would not i know curse the hobbyists there killing their brothers they're not real most times you must learn stars that are not the towns 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 i tell you of course young people who made a mistake you made of the forest should be given a chance to mend their ways but those who persisted killing civilians and policeman will destroy them afterward seen enough of his opponents to know about them that it's a motives however dangerous they are he doesn't think he faces especially on the record of those who go to. forest are just slightly criminals they're just scum bags off or be used to disguise the. fact that the police station they're reinforcing the cleric they want to become the next wave of compassion card at a checkpoint on the outskirts of the town police say their life air over the past decade has been one of virtual partisan warfare and yet nobody seems to be able to

answer those two most obvious questions how or where it might tend tom parson artsy has them yet dagestan. where the president of pakistan believes the solutions line improving the standard of living in the region meant to be with our team he says it would help prevent militants from their ranks. for extremist ideology ists are exploiting the problems we are currently facing they are trying to convince the youth that the current all forty the current regime is bad and. they use appears want to live in a different state with totally different laws i want to ask you to prove that we can develop successfully the matters of upbringing an ideology are just as essential generational 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 or this vacuum is being filled by various radicals and extremists as arky concerned are due to apply for the minds the sympathies of young people is essential you know

not a fight is going on everywhere these days especially in the media hostile forces are being very active will meet on it for example we are trying to oppose them of their own ideology of peace and friendship. and what's the full version of seventy seven us interview with the darkest hour in even about fifteen minutes time here not. well quick look now at some other news stories from around the world. in australia saddam sikhism torched racial tension said in sydney nine buildings were destroyed by fires started by the government says it's a nice climbed onto the roof where they threw missiles at officers trying to regain control of the complex process in the country are the conditions that the senses become more frequent as a number of asylum seekers continues to grow. twenty kilometer of regulation area around japan's paralyzed nuclear complex has become an official no. runs what

a world away with modest living wide open spaces and a rich tapestry of diversity that includes indigenous people and those who hail from the former soviet states many of them came to this area with romantic notions of finding a new life and working to build the nation's infrastructure via the back mainline band project was meant to connect eastern siberia with the far east but it also managed to unite people and to create a culture unique to this region but here's more on the other people whose if it chance on it and the controversy that surrounded it. young and optimistic they came from different soviet republics a unified in the same belief that if they built about how more mainline regional prosperity would come known as the bam it was meant to protect the country's border with china to support the trance iberian railroad and to transport the area's natural resources patriotic romanticism fueled the project but it also diversify

the reason by bringing indigenous people together with newcomers like bam crewmembers like him here in libya shandor. we don't regret coming here will love the beauty of the north in one thousand nine hundred two during the collapse of the u.s.s.r. we moved back to cause us down for a while but then returned in july we will mark our thirty first anniversary living here prison labor laid the first tracks in one nine hundred thirty eight or world war two construction to an end building wrapped up again in one nine hundred seventy four with a soviet secretary general famously declaring that only clean hands would kill them that's the recruitment of members of the communist union of you good politics to plans off course the soviet union as the construction of the surgery on her word processor mattered all that many. with the fall of the u.s.s.r. came the start of mining projects companies simply stopped investing in the exploration

of natural resources so with little to no product to transport and a peaceful relationship with china critics challenge the banns worthiness of its multi-billion dollar price tag retired yalit is alexander has mixed feelings he's proud of what he and his colleagues accomplished however he's also disillusioned by time and really benefits dried up on the nation transition to democracy. people with romantic notions such very personal benefits all profits and not a time when we were young and healthy now we're older. cain temporary homes during the picturesque landscape visually reminds locals that economic prosperity has not yet come but i knew it as a patient hats and the real world that was really traveled as increasing passenger and cargo commutes companies are investing in mining explorations revving up hope that the real will be key in transporting natural resources in bringing new little

local economy to call bonnets came to work the bam from ukraine. in my native town they think the bomb is the road to nowhere but i think it's a road to the future we did the best we can and we were not paid much i did the utmost for the old ones that's how we lived by them. to build a long lasting legacy for the nation that he shared and many who worked to mine a level finally with the benefits of their sacrifices didn't r.t. . but just a few minutes president of russia's volatile republic of dagestan tells r.t. how to prevent the spread of radicalism but first as business news that was you.

i think scary because artie's business sunday thanks for joining us russia's top government officials will have to step down from the board of state run companies that have been replaced with independent directors the order was signed by president with better than a bit to improve the country's investment climate as head of the association of independent directors says we will hold brews the market value of state corporation . companies are still represents a significant part of the g.d.p. and that is it and that's why the government is playing a very important role in improving in the overall country the economic efficiency and competitiveness improvements of the performance in the state owned companies are will increase their way out of this mountain it's in the law and so on and also will remove for so all corporate governance discount it by the international investors. russian oil pipeline monopoly transnet says it may file a lawsuit against china in a london court over under payments for all supplies the ground for the legal action
