fear is miles over the future of egypt where the al-qaeda waves of muslim brotherhood movement is poised to claim victory in the coming election. doctors warned that the people exposed to the gulf of mexico oil spill could face a greater risk of cancer a year on and many who took part in the clean up operation are seriously ill all officials try to sweep the story under the rug. police on the front lines of the war on terror in russia's caucasus see enemy is music is not in the skies they're deadly criminal actions. and in our russia close of series will take you to

siberia or one of the soviet union's greatest industrial achievements is stealing a third new found strike. you're watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow welcome to the program now destroying arkan's and remaining streets just some of the actions taken by egyptians determined to erase the memory of ousted president hosni mubarak well this comes as the country prepares to elect a new leadership in september and while the west is cheering for democracy in egypt there are fears the vote could bring about another unwanted regime artie's lore and that explains. 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 demonstrated to show everything's back to normal and they're not wrong

after months of up evil it's very much the same people in charge. as before if there is a concern that they may have already the dictator they have agreed to take the deep concerns as to whether the reforms of 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 that's commonly 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 is election son expects 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 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 appear to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt at least democratic change has to start. it needs to happen now the 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 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 any leader that

doesn't worry me gypped washington will differ. 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 as a terrorist organization in two thousand and six had mass won a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response the middle east quartet includes severe sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people but what will happen in european color is always of power if the people of egypt choose what's perceived abroad to be the role of government the world awaits the results of september the election. how is he going to. meanwhile libya an arab nation inspired by egypt's example is struggling to overthrow gadhafi regime after two months of fighting well nato allies have announced plans to send military advisors to the

rebels have quarters to help the opposition break the stalemate with pro-government forces all russia's foreign minister has warned that putting international bodies on the ground could have unpredictable consequences. the latest developments in libya are not making us happy it's a clear launch of the ground conflict we consider these music streaming risky which could lead to unpredictable consequences there's been cases in history when it all started with sending in military advisors and then it drags out for years and resulted in hundreds and thousands danes sites we call on everyone to respect the un resolution in solving this conflict. the libyan rebels armed with heavy weaponry are moving further west from their base in. the capital reports of just over ten thousand people have died since the uprising began in february france has promised to intensify strikes the offensive for activists brian becker told

r.t. the escalation of force by the allies is that for to wait for scale invasion. 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 seemingly endless funds for another war in another muslim country camrose sarkozy and obama say khadafi must go in the bombing doesn't work doesn't back then 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. and coming up a blast from the past streaks across siberia we'll find out why thousands of russians followed here to build a new railway system in a remote region of the country which is still running strong today. now year after the gulf of mexico oil disaster killed eleven people b.p. is trying to shift the blame by suing its contractors well millions of gallons of oil spewed from the deepwater rig following an explosion which led to one of the worst environmental accidents in history and while b.p. fights over big bucks in court it's the locals that are bearing the brunt are going to check the story 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 benzene thirty six times higher than normal. arshavin true want to work in the opener problem or even the. clinton master 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 cardassian the food you little got 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 a sinner and must still hold of this story and will be no you 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 hit seem to search through the tourist recalls robbie cha is one of a few doctors who is outspoken about gulf coast residents same times 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 caught up in court. hurry up and 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 headache 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 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 coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you're exposed together and actually experienced or the arms more toxic and these are exactly the types of chemicals that are truly literally in people's blood many of the fact it got coast residents and those involved in the cleanup of the gulf say we're 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 every marine 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 and vanish like i'm reporting from washington r.t. . well it seems that no lessons have been learned since last year's calamitous gulf of mexico oil spill filmmaker scott roberts says that oil corporations are more concerned with making profits than regulating the industry i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that well companies really don't. care about the consumer and 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 of 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 which is 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 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 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. russia superjet one hundred has made its first passenger flight from here if i'm in armenia to moscow well it's the first russian a commercial plane produced in two decades let's cross live to mark this is to ask for more on this hi there dimitri well how significant is this for russia's aviation industry well it is very significant as you mentioned is the first civil aircraft built in russia in the past two decades whereas in the soviet times of course of the aviation industry was very competitive so right now what russia has

is a very aging fleet especially when it comes to short distances and medium distances so this super jet which is a seventy five to ninety five passenger double i old twin engine plane is supposed to replace the old two for labs in the back of labs and this is very important the russians also going to be a regional play in connecting russia with other countries in central asia for example so there's a big market for it very competitive and it's actually cheaper to use a super jet than it is of its analogs of from a bread and butter budget so russia has very high hopes more on that in our business because i'm actually in the around fifteen minutes. want to voice your opinion on any of the stories we're covering just go to our website that's our team dot com it starts with plenty of features all waiting to be discovered around the clock and here's a quick look at what's online right now be careful where you go your i phone is

tracking you researchers are ringing the privacy alarm after discovering that i phones trace and store their use first every movement. plus the u.s. pastor who rose to infamy by burning a koran is now planning an armed rally outside the largest mosque in america all the details on our team dot com. now dozens of militants have been killed and many terrorist attacks prevented following recent security raids in russia but the country's southern republic of dagestan still remains a hotbed for extremists but police putting their lives on the lie opens up with an end to the violence are to stop barking reports from the north caucasus. on the frontline and dug a stone in southern russia but this isn't

a battlefield of tanks and missiles but of daily skirmishes bombs and hit and run attacks of no controls or. yes i'm afraid there has to be someone to do this job and recently the dangers of the job which home with a bang. as this easy t.v. footage shows militants drive up in a fire burst from a kalashnikov into the police station door before speeding off. five minutes later a second car left behind explodes seven policemen wanted a local prosecutor's office and federal security service building took the brunt of the blast. the local police chief isms no illusions about viciousness of their opponents. as police we have to use only legal means to fight these militant however there is one birth here when he's bad it's these things like blowing up

cars in busy street must fight them in their own way the town of self 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 much as north caucasus 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 of good and i know but what good it is crucial to find a common language when those in a forest but there should be a way to reach some compromise you know that it is in others sometimes it feels like i live a lot in dagestan but in afghanistan real muslims wouldn't go to the forest is not as a social religion and the forest is for levels not people give us these the bush i knew would not kill you or curse the harvest they're killing their brothers they're not real muslims new muslim ones does that on the terms five hundred police are mostly muslim just like militants even so they are usually the main tera target but

there came to distinguish between hardened terrorists and new recruits i tell you of course young people who made a mistake and went to the forest should be given a chance to mend their ways but those who persisted killing civilians and policeman will destroy them afterward soon enough of his opponents to know about the net and some motives however dangerous they are he doesn't think he places a special threat on. those who go to. forrest i just can't be criminals they're just scum and it's awful they'll be used 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 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 parties out here and yet nobody seem to be able to answer those two most obvious questions how or when it might turn tom parson our

kids in yet dagestan. the president of russia is republic of dagestan told r.t. new that improving the social and economic situation is the key to stop people from joining militant groups or you can watch his full interview in around ten minutes time but here's a preview. some of the militants are willing to engage in dialogue they reject us when we urge them to lay down weapons and return to the peter. having committed so many murders and terrorist attacks they now only understand the language of force terrorism is a global phenomenon a method. first of all we need to change is so surely that situation in the republic we must restore the economy create new jobs and get the youth involved. they're busy and if they have good prospects they are unlikely to engage in criminal activities or join the militants.
