the points pleasures and i would print certain discipline the original in touch with the return it's like you're watching a good international. evergreen lily chilled. egypt steps out along the road to a democratic future gearing up for arts and sport but fear is mild that islamic radicals could hijack the revolution and fill the existing power vacuum. a year after millions of gallons of b.p.'s oil spilled into the gulf of mexico those whose health has been wracked by the disaster are still struggling to get help. now with russian police on a constant terror alert in the volatile border caucasus we need the officers fighting on the front line on a daily basis. of commercial flight on the new medium

range aircraft sukhoi superjet took place earlier today through and join our business that's in about twenty minutes. we're watching r t three pm here in moscow thanks for joining us now while the west may already be hailing the victory of democracy in egypt there are fears the celebrations may be premature radical islamists linked to groups like the muslim brotherhood could steal a march and september as elections and as the war and what reports the free vote in the autumn can 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 there's a concern that they may have already the dictator they have in the it is a dictatorship but 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 trees freedom to emerge in egypt and that is the debate is clearly 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 why be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hijack the whole revolution this is the all those 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 well organized back at a beginning of the year european leaders appear to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt. to show these democratic change has to start non. it needs to happen now to growth of 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 arrive in cairo and perhaps try and hijack the revolution for washington but we must always are. that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of washington foreign policy that all important issue is going to the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against really leader that does a regime egypt. will definitely try and get it on. 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 six how mass won a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response the middle east quartet imposed severe sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people but what will happen if european corridors of power if the people of egypt sees what's perceived to broads be the wrong governments the world awaits the results of september the election the rabbits' r.t. loves it. russia's foreign minister has warned that a land operation in libya could have unpredictable consequences well it comes as the u.k. france and italy are set to dispatch teams to advise rebels on the ground antiwar

activist brian becker says the escalation of force by the coalition could eventually lead to an invasion. that resolution was designed to authorize the beginning of military operations against libya but the real goal from the beginning has been to topple the regime they never say we're going 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 said could offie must go and if the bombing doesn't work doesn't back then mean in order not to feel that there has to be endless escalation

in 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 will never happen. and still ahead for you this hour are we taking to the front lines of russia against terror. being a policeman in russia's north caucasus region is a notoriously dangerous job we go on patrol in turbulent darkest hour on the front line of the fight against islamic insurgents join us on our special report just a few minutes. plus an assorted rail line in russia's far east is set to put the region on track to a brighter future we'll see with r.t.s. and take you close up. now on the first anniversary of the gulf of mexico oil disaster that killed eleven people and dumped millions of gallons of crude into the ocean the e.p.a. has filed two lawsuits for damages but while the company is looking for others to

blame and fighting for big money in the courts it's locals who are paying the price with their health artie's going to check out reports. 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 and 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 records for a group that aren't true. are shaping truly want to work and i'm going to open a problem want to go. back there 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 carlos will salute the little fellow to lecture military

officials for 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 a sinner and must still hold of this story and will be no you are no dr michael robbie chom has 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 hit citizens troubador tourist recalls her canadian robbie cha is one of a few gawkers who is outspoken about golf coast residents symptoms connection with the toxic chemicals that they've been exposed to many other doctors refuse to recognize the cause as dr robert shaw says either because they don't have the necessary training or you know what we call a court order. and environmental just his 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 nino or a 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 total with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you mix those together it actually ends all times more toxic and these are exactly the types of chemicals that are truly literally in people's water 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

likely don't even have health coverage through. your should worship biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed a country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug i'm going to check on reporting from washington r.t. . well even a year after the largest accidents in the history of oil exploration not much has changed in terms of safety regulations in the u.s. scott roberts the director of the documentary glass 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 oil companies really. 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 choice we really don't like to

sacrifice our lifestyle for the better over 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 you 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 a 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 out 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. well there are plenty more reports blogs and analysis just a click away at r t a dot com and here's

a taste of what's there right now and the man who needs to have it given all the secrets to week uniques has been moved to a new prison with some pretty exciting his treatments is a violation of human rights plus. a look at that chap called russia's very own a lord of the dance and you tube sensation a shows the country's president getting into the groove well the twitter users describe the new theme event of style as dancing like her dad and the leader tweeted back that his moves were certainly old school but if you want to study his unique moves at your leisure head to our you tube channel. it's.

now more than nineteen militants have been killed and dozens of terrorist attacks prevented as part of security rates in russia in recent months but i want to example tera committee says the north caucuses remains the main target for training terrorists or for police and their combating extremists on a daily basis has become worryingly familiar arkansas gotten caught up with those on a constant guard. on the front line and dug a stone in southern russia but this isn't a battlefield of terms. but of daily scam issues. and hit and run attacks made controls that. i'm afraid of there has to be someone to do this job and recently the dangers of the job

brought home with. as this easy t.v. footage shows militants drive up and fire a burst from a kalashnikov into the police station door for speeding off. five minutes later the second car left behind explodes seven policemen wounded the local prosecutor's office and the federal security service building took the brunt of the blast. the local police chief is under no illusions about the viciousness of their opponents. as police we have to use only legal means to fight these militants however there is one birth here when these ballots do things like blowing up cars in busy street fight them in their own way the town of conciliar itself is a modest trading 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 russia as north caucasus which is struggling with 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 of god then and 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. sometimes it feels like i live not in dagestan but in afghanistan real muslims wouldn't go to the forest islam is a social religion and the forest is for animals not people it was obvious the bruce i knew would not even curse the harvest they're killing their brothers they're not real most times you monsters that are in the towns five hundred police are mostly muslim just like the militants even so they are usually the main terror target but there came to distinguish between hardened terrorists and new recruits. of course young people who made a mistake in wake of the forest should be given a chance to mend their ways but those who assisted killing civilians and policeman

will destroy them afterward seen enough of his opponents to know about their methods motives however dangerous they are he doesn't think he faces a special threat. those who go to. forest are just like any criminals they're just scum and it's all for derby use islam to disguise their. back at the police station they're reinforcing the concrete barricades they want to be prepared for the next wave of kalashnikovs and car bombs were at a checkpoint on the outskirts of the town police say their life here over the past decade has been one of virtual part is that fair and yet nobody seem to be able to answer those two most obvious of questions how or when it might tend tom watson are to see it like a stone. wall the president believes the solutions like improving the standard of living in the region well in an interview with our team he says it would help

prevent militants from boosting their ranks. for extremist ideology or exploiting the problems we are currently invasive they are trying to convince the youth that the current all forty eight current regime is. where they use appears want to live in a different state with totally different laws or task is to prove that we can develop successfully the matters of upbringing eulogy are just as essential a generation of people have grown up who are not familiar with the saluki 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 as is our key concern the fight for the minds the sympathies of young people is essential you know not a point is going on everywhere these days especially in the media hostile forces have a very simple newtonian for example we are trying to oppose them of their own ideology of peace and friendship. in.
